Seeing Zhang Er's calm demeanor, facing the Qin army surrounding him, he was not afraid, and he could still hold his chest up and raise his head to look at him.
Zhao Tuo nodded.
No one can be underestimated who can leave his name in history, let alone a prince who can achieve great achievements in troubled times.
But since Zhao Tuo is here, he will naturally not let the original history repeat itself.
Zhang Er has no chance to become a prince anymore.
Zhao Tuo said: "You, Zhang Er, are a well-known figure in the Wei State, and were appointed by the King of Wei as the Waihuang Order. Why did you not defend the city and die for the country, but instead took the opportunity to escape?"
Zhang Er's face froze. You, a general from an enemy country, actually accused me of dying for my country by not defending the city?
He sneered and said: "I just saw that this Waihuang City is full of villains, and the guards fell into the trap of your Qin people. This city is undefendable. I just wanted to keep it useful and deal with you in the future."
That's all. Could it be that you, kid, still think that I, Zhang Er, ran away because I was afraid of you Qin people?"
Zhao Tuo showed a smile in his eyes and said: "So, you prepared a carriage in advance to escape, and you were pushed down on the road and suffered a bloody head?"
"The blood on your face has ruined your good looks."
Zhang Er's body trembled, as the saying goes: "Hit someone without slapping someone in the face, expose someone without exposing someone's shortcomings."
The Qin General across from him was so venomous that the words he spoke directly hit his own wounds.
He said bitterly: "It's nothing more than being betrayed by a villain. Don't use this matter to humiliate me. If you want to kill or behead me, just say it directly. It's fair and square."

Zhao Tuo saw Zhang Er scratching his neck and glaring at him with a pair of eyes, and he no longer had any intention of teasing in his heart.
"Okay, then I invite you to die, so that your reputation as a hero can be fulfilled."
Zhang Er was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said: "If you die, you will die. Nai Gong can be regarded as being buried for the sake of the Wei State, and he is worthy of the kindness that the young master gave me back then."
As he spoke, he glanced at the familiar mansion and houses.
After today, this place will belong to the Qin people.
Thinking of this, Zhang Er couldn't help but sigh.
In the past twenty years, the Qin army marched eastward and swept across the world, unstoppable.
Wei suffered repeated defeats and had no choice but to humble himself and serve Qin, which led to the country's ruin.
But twenty years ago, when Zhang Er was young.
It is not that no one in the world can stand up to the tiger and wolf Qin.
On the verge of death, Zhang Er's eyes were blurred, and the image of a noble prince appeared in his mind.
He waved the golden mallet to save Zhao, Handan was shocked at first.
Two heroes from the Qianqiu period have conquered Daliang City.
That was a grand event that Zhang Er had witnessed with his own eyes, and it was a glorious time that still fascinated him when he recalled it.
In the past, the prince of Wei, Lord Xinling, stole a talisman to save Zhao, and his warrior Zhu Hai killed the general Jin Bi with a hammer. After Lord Xinling gained military power, he led the Wei army north to Handan, forcing Qin to withdraw. Since the Battle of Changping, the Qin people have terrorized the world.
His arrogance was suppressed.
Later, Lord Xinling contacted Chu, Zhao, Han, and Yan to form a five-nation coalition to attack Qin. He defeated the Qin army south of the river. The Qin general Meng Ao who was defeated fled westward and retreated to Hangu Pass for several days.
They will not dare to send troops eastward during the year.
How majestic and mighty it was, and how high-spirited it was.
At that time, Zhang Er was one of the thousands of guests under Lord Xinling's command.
From Lord Xinling, he learned what chivalry is and what righteousness is.
Zhang Er saw with his own eyes that the state of Wei became glorious and powerful under the leadership of Lord Xinling.
I also witnessed with my own eyes that under the suspicion of King Wei, Lord Xinling indulged in singing and dancing in order to protect himself, and eventually died of weakness.
After the death of Lord Xinling, the state of Wei gradually declined, and finally reached the point where it is now subjugated.
"If Mr. Xinling were still here, Wei Guoan would have fallen into this state."
Zhang Er shook his head and sighed.
At this moment, his heart was completely calm.
As of now, there is nothing he can't let go of.
I believe Chen Yu will take good care of his wife and children who fled to Ohnozawa.
We cut each other's necks and vowed to live and die together.
Zhang Er was relieved.
"Is that what you thought of the mind-attacking technique?"
He raised his head, looked at the young general Qin on the couch, and asked the last question.
Zhao Tuo nodded.
Zhang Er sighed: "Although you are young, you have already become the leader of an army, and you can come up with such a wonderful plan. You will definitely have a bright future in the future."
He has always judged people very accurately.
Except Liu Ji.
Zhang Er said no more and walked out of the house with his head held high.
Zhao Tuo nodded to Xiqigu beside him.
Xiqigu understood and followed.
After a while, Xiqigu walked into the room, holding a bloody head in his hand.
Zhang Er.
Zhao Tuo looked at the blood-stained head and sighed.
After he got the news that Shejian had captured Zhang Er, he did not report it to Yang Xiong. Instead, he brought Zhang Er here, confirmed it, and killed him.
The reason why Zhao Tuo did this was because he was afraid of something unexpected happening.
For example, Yang Xiong suddenly took pity on Zhang Er, or Zhang Er begged for his life, so that Zhang Er was able to escape the disaster in the end, and history continued in its original direction.
Fortunately, Zhang Er died and was successfully killed by Zhao Tuo.
He changed history again, and compared to Yan Dan, who was destined to be killed before, Zhang Er's death shocked Zhao Tuo even more.
This was a vassal king who lived in the troubled times of the late Qin Dynasty, and he was also a prince who lived until the establishment of the Han Dynasty.
His death proved that Zhao Tuo had the ability to get rid of those troubled princes one by one in advance.
Zhang Er, Chen Yu, Zhao Xie, Wei Bao...
Even Xiang Yu and Liu Bang.
Thinking of this, Zhao Tuo's expression became strange again.
Because he remembered Shejian's report, the bearded ranger who pushed Zhang Er off the chariot in order to survive.
"Liu Ji?"
…
On the mountain trail leading to the eastern part of Wei State.
Liu Jigang came out of a forest and looked behind him with a hopeful look. He was relieved when he saw that no one was catching up.
"I was so scared to death that Mr. Nai was just a hair away from having his head cut off by those Qin people."
He patted his chest to calm his anxious heart.
Then he thought of Zhang Er who was pushed off the chariot by him.
Even though Liu Ji was a person who would do whatever it took to survive, he couldn't help but turn red at this moment, and felt a trace of guilt in his heart.

Man.
If there were other options to survive, Liu Ji would not have done such a thing.
But there was really no way at that time. Unless Zhang Er was pushed down, sooner or later everyone would be overtaken by the Qin army's cavalry and die together.
It's your life, it's precious!
"Zhang Jun, Zhang Jun, you can go in peace. I will take good care of your wife and children in the future."
Liu Ji secretly thought, preparing to repay Zhang Er's kindness in another way.
But now, Liu Ji is still facing a problem.
Want to go back to your hometown?
He was already thirty years old, but he was idle at home, not engaged in production, and wandered around with a group of brothers all day long. Not only was he looked down upon by his neighbors in the village, but he was often scolded and scolded by his father at home.
He once took a group of younger brothers to eat at his sister-in-law's house, but was treated like someone who deliberately scratched the pot and drove them away.
So Liu Ji took a breath, left Fengyi, and even left his eldest brother Wang Ling in Peixian County, and came to Wei specifically to seek refuge with the famous scholar Zhang Er, just to seek opportunities for development here.
But now, Liu Ji had only been out for a few months, and had been under Zhang Er's family for less than a month, when he encountered this kind of thing.
This made him think about how to return to his hometown and face the bunch of lies he boasted before leaving.
When Liu Ji was thinking hard about a way out, something suddenly moved in his heart.
He remembered that Zhang Er once said that in Shanfu County on the eastern border of Wei State, there was a rich man named Lu Gong, with whom he had a good relationship.
His son Lu Ze is also a chivalrous man.
"How about going to seek refuge with Mr. Lu first? Maybe we can get some money back home."
Liu Ji was secretly happy, no longer confused, and strode towards the path ahead.
