Chapter 9 Shihu (Stone Tiger) 2(9)

Shi Hu, the king of Zhao, was worried about the recklessness of his nobles, so he promoted Li Ju, the imperial historian in the palace, to the cheng of the imperial historian. He favored and trusted Li Ju, and the court was shocked.. Shi Hu said, "I heard that a good minister is like a tiger walking in the wilderness, so that the jackal avoids the path. It is true!"
Shi Hu appointed Li Nong, a general of the Fu army, as the commander of the army. He supervised the armies of western Liaoning and Peiping, recruited the generals of the east, camped in the prefecture and herd and guarded Lingzhi.. Li Nong led thirty thousand soldiers to attack the city of Van in the state of Yan with the general Zhang Ju in the north.. The former king of Yan, Murong, appointed Yuewan, Lord of Lu City, as the general of the imperial disaster..He assigned one thousand soldiers to guard the city of Van. When the later Zhao army reached the city of Van, the generals were so frightened that they wanted to abandon the city. Yue Wan said, "We have been ordered to resist the enemy, so we should put life and death on the line. In addition, according to the city's defense, a person can withstand a hundred people..Anyone who dares to deceive others will be beheaded! "Only then could everyone settle down. Yueyuan took the lead and personally carried the flying stones and arrows.. Zhang Ju and his men attacked for more than ten days, but they could not win, so they withdrew. As Liaoxi was close to the border of Yan, Shi Hu was attacked many times, so he moved his people south of Jizhou.
