Chapter 149: Handan Crisis
The sound of war drums came from the sky and the earth, just under the Handan City Tower, and the main force of the Qin army was already in place.
On the other side, that is, above the Handan City Tower, Zhao Guo's coach at this time, Lian Po, his burly figure appeared.
Seeing that he had already arrived at the downstairs of Handan City and had completed the assembly, Qin Jun Lian Po's expression was gloomy.
"It is said that the Qin army is a mighty division, and now the Qin people who are pursuing by victory are more aggressive, and at the moment, the morale of my Zhao State is not easy to fight again, but at the moment, Zhao Guo has to prepare for war in order to survive and die" Staring at the Qin army, and then the Qin army commander Bai Qi came out of the ranks.
A banner with a clean character is particularly eye-catching, and when he was young, Bai Qi asked the soldiers to shout: "The commander of the Qin army, Wu Anjun, asked the commander of the Zhao army, Lian Po, to come out for talks"
Hearing Qin Jun's words, Lian Po thought for a moment, and asked his subordinates to make arrangements, but at this moment, the deputy general quickly came out of the queue and admonished Lian Po: "General can't, this is a trick of the Qin army, don't go to the party."
When Lian Po heard this, he immediately laughed: "Haha... The Qin people are treacherous, but Bai Qi's strategy is focused on the use of soldiers, and when he is so absolutely victorious, he has no need for Bai Qi, and he will definitely not harm me Lian Po."
"General!" The deputy will continue to admonish loyally, but Lian Po believes in his choice, and insists on leaving: "Okay, don't say more, Lian Po will go to meet the Qin people" turned his head back to the posture of the Qin army, and Lian Po calmly answered: "It will be white"
Lian Po walked to the gate of the city, and King Zhao's urgent order came: "King Zhao sent an order, General Lian Po listened to the order, the front-line commander is not allowed to personally go out to meet the enemy, there is a fear of the enemy's changes, which is not conducive to the overall situation of Zhao State"
Hearing this, Lian Po walked to the herald, grabbed the Wang Zhao and then smiled: "An empty order, and my king personally passed the edict, how can there be such a coincidental thing, Lian Po just made a decision, Wang Zhao came to the front line so quickly, get out of the way with me"
"Lian Po!"
Hearing the words, Lian Po immediately turned around, faced an inconspicuous soldier and knelt down: "Knock on my king"
The old general Lian Po not only has battlefield experience and is strategic, but also has first-class experience in life and society, plus his understanding of King Zhao Xiaocheng, so when the king shouted Lian Po at this time, Lian Po was already ready to bow down in his heart.
"The king suddenly visited the front line, and I don't know what happened"
The people looked at the king and bowed down in turn: "See the king"
King Zhao was close to the front line at this time, and he wanted to keep a low profile, in order to prevent being plotted by the enemy, but in order for Lian Po not to do impulsive things, Wang had to appear in person to stop it.
But Lian Po believed in his intuition: "King, since ancient times, there has been a cloud country that cannot be without a king for a day, and for the general and the king, loyalty to the king at the critical moment is the primary task, and then in terms of the plain truth, what kind of person is he, the god of war, a god of war will lose his trust in the world and destroy his reputation at the same time?" ”
"Aiqing, this battlefield is ever-changing, aren't you afraid that Bai Qi will be variable at this time?"
"Does the king believe Lian Po?"
"Faith, good! Since Aiqing insists on this, the widow will bet the fate of Zhao Guo on you."
"The king's words are wrong, the bet of fate is not only on my Lian Po, but more importantly, there are Xiangguo Guo Kai and Gongzi Zhao Sheng, as well as the national Zhao people, this is also my Zhao country's proof to the world that the loss of the party will be punished, and the defense of the capital is a battle of justice!"
In addition, in the camp of the Qin army, Bai Qi looked at the sword in his hand: "Now Zhao Guo can be a thing in the bag, if Zhao Guo is taken down at this time, then in the eyes of my king, Bai Qi will be a useless chess piece, I don't know if Lian Po can see this."
At this time, the gate of Handan opened, and Lian Po rode out: "Bai Qi Lian Po is here"
Seeing that Lian Po was out of the ranks, Bai Qi rode on the horse and walked slowly, and the two generals came out to talk, and at this moment, the archers of Zhao Guo collectively aimed at Bai Qi.
"Hahaha, Zhao is also a big country, if Bai Qi's death can change the fate of the entire Zhao Kingdom, you can kill Bai Qi to vent your hatred, the Battle of Changping, Bai Qi's task has been completed"
Lian Po turned around and said loudly: "The current leader of the Qin army is him Bai Qi, the talks are in order to give Zhao a glimmer of life, once the commander of the Qin people dies at this time, in terms of shame, the city will be slaughtered today, and our last hope will be wiped out, and the fault of the party will not end?" Is retreating the Qin people a problem that can be solved by killing one or two masters? ”
After the words, Zhao Ren put down the arrow in his hand, and the king also went down the city tower to return to the royal city.
"King!" The adjutant asked.
Zhao Xiaocheng became the king and said: "Everyone must believe in General Lian Po, the widow is waiting for your good news in the palace"
Everyone is puzzled, but the king is clear.
Then Lian Po and Bai Qi entered the tent, and when they were at the door, Bai Qi suddenly stopped, and then made a gesture of please, and Lian Po did not enter the tent, but also made a gesture of please.
The soldiers on the side were puzzled, so Bai Qi first said: "General Lian Po, please enter the account"
"This is the territory of my Zhao country, and I should pay tribute to my Zhao people."
"Well, yes, now Handan is still the territory of your Zhao State, and it will not be long before it is the territory of the Qin State."
"It's not certain who will kill the deer, why does Wu Anjun assert it like this"
"General Lian Po is not an idle person, Bai Qi does not dare to slack off" Bai Qi was ready to enter the account, but Lian Po took the first step.
"Why is that?"
"The leading power is decided by the Zhao people"
"It's now," Bai Qi said.
Lian Po replied: "It will be the same in the future"
After the two entered the account, Bai Qi asked teasingly: "Who will sit first?"
"Of course it's Wu Anjun"
"Why is that?"
"Before, I Zhao Guo was wrong, I robbed the fat in Qin Guo's mouth, and it was really wrong to get it for nothing, now my Zhao people should apologize, and Wu Anjun should be invited first"
"Thank you, General Lianpo"
The two toasted, and Lian Po let Bai first punish three glasses of wine.
"Why is that?"
"The emotions that the Qin people should vent have also been vented, and now attacking Handan and trying to destroy my Zhao Guozong Temple is really an unrighteous move," Lian Po said.
Bai Qi replied: "A meeting, Lian Po!" You can put on a show, but when the iron hooves of my Qin army step into Handan City, this highly performative exchange will become history, and you can drink three glasses of wine in vain, just taste Handan's wine."
Lian Po looked at Bai Qi, three glasses of wine went down, and Lian Po said: "Is Handan's wine delicious?" ”
"This is vinegar"
"Yes, sour, too sour, you have killed 450,000 of my Zhao people in order to achieve the merits of a lifetime, you are not a god of war, you are a butcher"
Bai Qi touched his beard, pursed his lips and smiled: "General Lian Po, you are wrong, Bai Qi is not a butcher or a god of war, Bai Qi is a god of death"
Lian was quite calm, and then drank three glasses of vinegar.
"Is it delicious? General Lian Po asked rhetorically.
Ze Lianpo replied: "Every mouthful is the tears of the people of Zhao State, sour and bitter, and it is extremely scary to think about it."
"Fear of what"
"Four hundred and fifty thousand unjust souls, aren't you afraid of nothing?"
"Hahaha, Lian Po, Lian Po, you and I are both people in the gate, why are you afraid of ghosts and gods, how can you say that there are more than 450,000 people under Bai Qi's hands, the battle of Yique, the battle of Yanyun, the battle of Wangji, and the battle of Changping are total, and Bai Qi has already killed more than 2 million people, and there is no shortage of these 450,000 people"
Hearing Bai Qi's words, Lian Po sighed: "Since the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, a total of more than 3 million people have died, and half of the numbers have been wiped out by Bai Qi alone, which is really terrible."
"Lian Po, you are old, and the number of dead people means that the time of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty is coming to an end, and under the ruins of this division of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, a new empire is about to be born."
Lian Po retorted: "The battle of the princes is really a certainty, but your words are arbitrary remarks to the Great Zhou"
"Da Zhou, what is there to do with Zhou now, the princes have long since denied this Zhou Tianzi, in addition, Zhou is also robbing the world of Yin Shang, the so-called reincarnation of heaven, a dynasty has passed, and a new empire will be born"
Lian Po nodded, and then said: "That's also Zhao State, not your Qin State."
"Lian Po, after talking for a long time, you finally stopped telling lies, Zhao Guo, there was still a chance before the Battle of Changping, and the Battle of Changping decided who the world belonged to" Bai Qi said.
But Lian Po was overjoyed: "Haha, Bai Qi, Bai Qi, you think that your results will be good all your life?" ”
"Shang Ying changed the law, strong Qin State, what will happen after that, the world can know and I will rise in vain, for the sake of Qin State, the final result, of course I know what will happen"
Lian Po was puzzled: "Shang Ying did not humiliate the Qin State until he died, and you did not betray the Qin State when you died, I can't figure out what the Qin State is worthy of your hard work."
"Qin State, a person who can only recognize the military industry and recognize ability, the people are simple, the whole country is united, and only today is after the tribulation, the blood in the bones of the Qin people is loyalty, and therefore Wei Ying will follow the poor Qin so desperately, and Gongsun Qi will be even more so"
Lian Po brought out the wine to entertain Bai Qi, and Bai Qi picked up the wine glass: "Aren't you afraid that the wine is poisonous?" ”
"Joke, if you really want to kill Bai Qi, you still have to wait until now, the random arrows on the top of the city tower are enough to kill Bai Qi, and it is really happy to be able to drink with a strong general like General Lian Po at that time."
Lian Po said: "You and I are just in different camps, but we are both strong for this, Lian Po respects you, and tastes the wine of Zhao Guo"
The two of them drank and then got up.
"General Lian Po, keep it well, Bai Qi will not be polite next"
"Hahahaha, Wu Anjun, Lian Po's iron bucket defense method, Wang Yi has learned it, try to change the god of war"
Bai smiled: "It's the Grim Reaper"
Hahaha......
As the two laughed, the scene turned back to the posture of the Qin army attacking the city, while the Zhao army was preparing for defense.
The offensive and defensive battle between the two armies began to be carried out under the sound of drums and trumpets.
"There! It is the dream of generations of Qin people, take it! ”
"Today, people are in the city, people are dead, families and countries are dead, and they are resisting the raid of the Qin people on all fronts"
Bai Qi and Lian Po encouraged the momentum of the warriors, and what followed was the attack of the warriors throwing their heads and spilling blood.
The city defense resisted the fierce raids of the Qin army again and again, and the Qin army and the soldiers of Zhao Guo were inseparable.
Of course, it is impossible to suppress a conspiracy in internal affairs.
Fan Ju stroked his beard, and thought about Guo Kai's letter again, and continued to mention in the letter: "Bai Qi Wu Anjun has always been at odds with Ying Hou, and now once he captures Handan, what will be the result, Guo Kai doesn't say, Ying Hou should also understand that although Lord Fan let Guo Kai be the actual prime minister of Qin, but persuade the King of Qin not to let Bai Qi be too sharp, or look at Lord Fan's three-inch tongue."
After thinking about it, Fan Ju finally decided: "Indeed, Zhao Guo has already fought like this, and if he attacks or not, he will be half-dead, why bother to give all the credit to nothing, it is better to let him withdraw his troops first, but to withdraw my Qin State like this, it seems that there is no face, and a reasonable excuse must be needed."
After thinking about it, Fan Ju finally decided to let Guo Kai mobilize King Zhao to cede the land to show peace, and the rest of the things were naturally easy for Fan Ju to do.
Of course, at the moment, Fan Ju still hopes to take an opportunity to get rid of Bai Qi, because the battle that should be fought has basically been fought, and the world has Qin State at his fingertips.
