1217. The last power of the Zhao people

Wang Ling gathered his army and went north, broke through the border line between Zhao and Han, and went straight to Handan, the capital of the Zhao people.

Zhao Di, Handan City.

Li Mu looked at everyone and said, "You can rest assured, with me Li Mu here, Handan City is absolutely safe!" ”

And Zhao Sheng on the side looked at Li Mu and said, "There are still 300,000 troops behind this royal tomb!" ”

"Don't we also have the entire Jin army behind us?" Li Mu said with a smile.

"But Wei Wuji meant to march on the Shangdang, he didn't expect that this Qin people would dare to go north to Zhaodi!" Zhao Sheng looked at Li Mu and said.

No one guessed that the Qin people would go north to attack Handan, whether it was Wei Wuji or Zhao Sheng, they all thought that the Qin people would completely encroach on the entire Shangdang, completely occupy the Shangdang, and hold the Shangdang in their own hands.

However, the Qin people did not send troops according to the conventional theory, they only occupied a few points connecting Shangdang Qin with Han and Zhao, and then went north to Zhao.

At this time, Wei Wuji marched to the party, which would inevitably break this connection point, and then march from the south, and then trap the Wang Ling army in Zhao, so as to win the entire war.

Zhao Sheng on the side looked at Li Mu and said: "This will take a long time, once Handan City is lost, I am afraid that Zhao Land will be occupied by the Qin people!" ”

"According to the intelligence information, Zhang Han can reach Handan in ten days at most, and Wang Ling can reach Handan City in five days!"

"There are more than 400,000 troops, and our elite troops in Handan City are less than 100,000, how can we defend this?" Zhao Sheng looked at Li Mu and said.

"General, although our troops are less than 100,000, Handan City is the most populous and prosperous city of our Zhao people, and it is not easy for them Qin people to break through!"

"Although Wei Wuji's troops are on the party, we still have 120,000 elite Zhao reinforcements, and they are rushing from Wei to attack our Handan City!" Li Mu looked at Zhao Sheng and said.

After hearing Li Mu's words, he suddenly thought: "It seems that I forgot things, I forgot very quickly, I actually forgot Li Wusheng and Yan Ju!" ”

The Zhao army on the Linshan Road has been taken over by Li Wusheng because of the incident of Wei Ang, and Yan Ju is one of the two survivors of the Battle of Changping, and Yan Ju still survived with the army.

In this way, their three armies have already met, and these three armies are also the most powerful military force of the Zhao people at present, and the three armies will reach a strength of 120,000 people.

And of these 120,000 people, 80,000 of them are fully armed elite Zhao people, as well as the Yan Ju Corps, which is almost rested, and Li Wusheng's corps is also resting and ready to go.

When Li Wusheng raided the Qin army Hei Cao, he did not bring all the men and horses, which also allowed him to reserve a certain amount of cavalry strength for the Zhao people.

Li Wusheng and others led the army to join forces with Li Mu in Handan, so that the strength of the Zhao people could reach as many as 200,000, which was already enough for the heroic and warlike Zhao people, not to mention, this time it was their local defense.

"And in our Handan City, three-quarters of the grain and grass gathered in our Zhao Land, this grain and grass is also very sufficient, what reason do we have not to win this battle for the defense of Handan City?" Li Mu looked at Zhao Sheng and said.

"Although the situation is indeed an unfavorable situation for us Zhao people, we have not yet reached a dead end!"

"Li Wusheng and they have the grain and grass logistics of the Wei people, and we have a strong city fortress, and there is no shortage of grain and grass, so it is not a problem to fight a war with the Qin people that consumes three years!" Li Mu looked at Zhao Sheng and said. Let's read the book

"Within three years, this Wei Wuji should have no problem arriving in Handan, right?" Li Mu said with a smile.

"If I can fight for three years, I won't need this Wei Wuji!" Li Mu said with a smile, Li Mu has deep confidence in this war, he believes that with his own strength, with the current strength of the Zhao people, he can completely defend against the attack of the Qin people.

And at this time, a man in armor looked at Li Mu and said, "I'm worried that the Qin people are coming from Mobei in the north!" "This man Wu Bao, Zhao He's uncle.

After Pang Xuan set out on the expedition, Wu Bao gradually accepted the security work of Handan and the security work of Zhao Palace, and at the same time, he began to gradually take charge of the army.

Or Wu Bao himself is in charge of the army, but all the soldiers in his hands are private soldiers, when Fei Yi and Zhao Cheng were there, Wu Bao was always by Zhao He's side, preventing the two from overstepping their authority, and now that both of them are dead, Wu Bao has been guarding against Zhao Sheng.

However, there is a gap between Wu Bao and Zhao Sheng's strength, but Zhao Sheng has no choice but to bow down to Zhao He in the real sense, which is mainly because Wu Bao's power in Handan City is very huge.

At the same time, in the eastern part of Zhaodi, the Wu family is also a local wealthy family, with many chivalrous people, who can gather militia, tens of thousands of people.

There is power outside, and there is also a certain amount of power inside, although it is not as large as Zhao Sheng's power, but it is enough to deter Zhao Sheng from acting rashly.

Of course, at this time, Zhao Sheng only wanted to concentrate on assisting Zhao He, and he didn't have the heart to overstep his authority.

After all, Zhao Di is already in danger now, and if he fights in the house, I am afraid that his soul will be annihilated in an instant.

After hearing Wu Bao's question, Li Mu laughed and said, "If the Qin army dares to march from Mobei, then I dare to counterattack to the Qin people's pass!" ”

Wu Bao was stunned when he heard Li Mu's words, and then looked at Li Mu: "What does the general mean?" ”

"Mobei is not so easy, not to mention whose territory is Mobei, it is the territory of the Huns, entering Mobei, once you get lost, once you encounter the Huns, you are afraid that the Qin people will ......" Li Mu said with a smile.

Although the Zhao people's defense in the north has been weakened a lot, the Zhao people are not worried, because there are Mobei and Huns blocking the Qin people's march from the north.

As for the Huns, the Zhao people have also sent envoys, and they have been dealing with the Huns for a long time, relying only on force, and it is categorically impossible to maintain the border between the two sides, and the two sides also need a certain amount of diplomatic envoys to communicate.

In order to stabilize the Huns, the Zhao clan had to send a hundred Zhao beauties and a princess to those barbaric Huns.

At the same time, the Zhao people may have promised to buy horses, cattle and sheep from the Huns with a large amount of grain, grass, gold and silver.

The Zhao people actually did not lack horses, since the Zhao people occupied Loulan, there was no shortage of horses, but after the recent loss of land, the production of horses is less than before.

Originally, the Zhao people wanted to restore the domestic economic problems, and they didn't care too much about the production of horses, but after participating in the Battle of Changping, this army suffered heavy losses, which made the Zhao people have to pay attention to military strength again.

Now there are Huns selling horses, and of course they Zhao people are willing to buy horses, but the price of buying horses this time is much higher than the market price.

But for the sake of stability and security in the north, the Zhao people could only do this loss-making business with the Huns.

However, in the eyes of the Zhao people, although they lost money, they also had a good direction, and if the cooperation was pleasant, then they could cooperate with the Huns in the future.
