Zhao Wang Dan was in the plain Jun Zhao Sheng, and led 50,000 Zhao troops to reinforce the party. Finally accepted Yu Qing's suggestion, and urgently sent envoys to the four kingdoms of Qi, Wei, Han, and Chu to lobby, hoping that they could send troops to reinforce Zhao.

At the same time, Qin Wang Yingji also adopted the suggestion of Qin Xiang Fan Sui, and also urgently sent envoys to various countries to lobby. Various means such as intimidation, inducement, and bribery were used to prevent countries from sending reinforcements to Zhao.

When Qin and Zhao were fighting a decisive battle between the Shangdang, the vassal states of the Central Plains were based on their own interests, and most of the countries were "watching from the wall". Wei and Chu, who planned to send troops to help Zhao State, originally planned to beat the side drum on the side, but their real purpose was to hope that Zhao State would fight to the death with Qin State.

But this does not mean that these countries do not know the importance of Zhao. The kings of all countries also knew that if the Qin State really annihilated the Zhao army in Changping, the life of every country in the future would not be easy.

The queen of Qi met the envoy of Zhao. Subsequently, he summoned his younger brother Hou Sheng and his eldest husband Zhou Zi and several other ministers to discuss the matter together.

Zhou Zi said to the queen and the king of Qi: "The queen mother, the king, my Qi country should send troops to rescue the Zhao country this time." If the Qin State was allowed to annihilate the Zhao army in Shangdang, the Qin army would inevitably attack Handan. Now that Zhao is empty, Weichen thinks that Zhao will not be able to stop the Qin army. When the Qin State occupies the Zhao State, it will be connected with our Qi State. At that time, my Qi country will also be in danger! ”

The queen also knows this truth, that is, the state of Zhao can be weakened, but it must not fall. After listening to the words of the eldest husband Zhou Zi, he pondered for a long time and couldn't make a decision.

In the end, the queen turned her head as usual and asked her younger brother, Yaqing Housheng, "What do you think about this?" ”

Yaqing won the victory, and when she saw her sister's expression, she already knew that the queen wanted to send troops to reinforce Zhao. But I thought that a few days ago, Qin Xiang Fan Sui sent people to bring his jewelry, gold and other things, didn't he just hope that Qi State would not be allowed to reinforce Zhao State!

Thinking of this, he already had a plan in his heart, so he said to the queen and Qi Wangjian: "Queen Mother, King, Zhou Zi is too worried. For so many years, my Qi State has been facing the military threat of Zhao State, and the pressure is very high! ”

"This time the two armies of Qin and Zhao are in a big battle, according to the combat effectiveness of the Zhao army, it may not be easy for the Qin State to eat the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Zhao army. Even if the Zhao army can be completely annihilated, the Qin State will definitely be greatly injured and unable to advance eastward. Now the best way for my Qi country is to stand still and wait for Qin and Zhao to fight, which is the best policy. ”

When the queen and Qi Wangjian heard this, they both nodded and adopted Yaqing Housheng's suggestion.

Needless to say, Han Wangran was completely frightened by the Qin State, and after seeing the Zhao envoy, he went over with a haha, and had no intention of sending troops to help the Zhao State at all.

Wei and Chu, on the other hand, were still concerned about the fact that at the end of last year, Zhao negotiated peace with Qin without authorization. At the end of last year, our three countries discussed and jointly sent troops to Qin. It's good that you, King Zhao, went to negotiate peace with Qin Guo alone, aren't you playing tricks on us? Therefore, Wei and Chu did not pay too much attention to Zhao envoys this time.

Because of a series of operational mistakes last year, when Zhao was at the most critical time, no country was willing to send troops to help Zhao Guo.

And King Zhao didn't realize the seriousness of the problem at this moment. actually guarded against the Yan State, and did not dispatch the two armies of Daijun Li Mu and Pang Xuan on the border of Zhao Yan to the south to reinforce the Zhao army of Shangdang.

At the beginning of September, Xiangping City, Junhou Mansion, Secretary Pavilion.

After Ji Kang read the letter from Jiang An, the manager of the Pijiagou Gold Mine, he asked the attendant beside him to hand it to the two people who were sitting next to him, Jun Xiangju Xin and the old manager Ji Mao.

said to the two: "Drama, Ji Bo, it seems that the Pijiagou gold mine has been stabilized." Jiang An transported the first batch of more than 1.5 tons of gold to Xiangping City. Jiang An did a good job and lived up to our expectations of him. ”

After Ji Xin and Ji Mao read Jiang An's letter, they both had smiles on their faces when they heard Ji Kang praise Jiang An like this.

Jun Xiangju Xin, smiled and said to Ji Kang: "Childe, now it seems that the Pijiagou gold mine produces a lot of gold and copper. It is good to let the gold bank under the Ministry of Commerce build a mint in Pi Wallet Ditch to process currency nearby. ”

The old manager Ji Mao also smiled and said to Ji Kang: "Son, now the gold and copper coins produced in my Liao land are exquisitely crafted, and they are now sold well in Yan and surrounding countries, and the profits are also considerable. In addition, the amount of gold and copper produced by my Pijiagou gold mine is so large. I am rich in the world, and it is just around the corner. ”

After Ji Kang listened to the words of Xin and Ji Mao, his face also brightened. said to the two: "Drama, Ji Bo, this is what I often say" science and technology is the primary productive force", good money will inevitably drive out bad money. According to the drama, let's build a mint in the Pijigou mine! This also reduces transportation costs. ”

I don't know what I thought, and then said to the two: "My Liaodi autumn harvest is coming this year, and drama and food are the top priority of my Liaodi at any time." If the people regard food as their heaven, we must still pay close attention to stockpiling food in the future. ”

"The grain reserves in my Liao region should be reserved according to the population of 10 million people. The grain reserve should be at least enough for 10 million people to feed for two years. Drama, Ji Bo, the more food anyway, the better. ”

Speaking of this, he said meaningfully: "We still have many challenges ahead! It is necessary to ensure that in the future, the people of Yan and even the land under their jurisdiction will have food to seek. ”

After listening to Ji Kang's words, Ji Xin and Ji Mao looked at each other and nodded.

Ji Xin stood up and said to Ji Kang: "Childe, please rest assured." At present, although the grain crops in our Liao land are all ripe once a year, with the use of agricultural tools in our Liao region, especially the use of fertilizer per mu in cultivated fields, the grain yield per mu is now three times that of the grain yield per mu of the Central Plains countries. ”

"In addition, for the substantial development of the plains under the new jurisdiction, the acres of newly cultivated land will also increase substantially, and there will be no problem in grain storage to ensure that tens of millions of people can eat for two years. In the future, there will be more and more food. ”

Speaking of this, Jun Xiangju Xin emphasized to Ji Kang: "The officials of various departments and counties of the Jun Xiang Mansion have continued to expand their granaries over the years, and they dare not relax for the autumn harvest. The Prime Minister's Mansion has emphasized this year's autumn harvest below. ”

The old manager Ji Mao also said to Ji Kang: "Son, what the drama said just now is very true. The old slave didn't dare to say that everyone in my Liao had enough grain storage at home, but it was impossible for the people in my Liao to be hungry and cold now. ”

Ji Kang nodded, walked to the open window of the Secretariat's Pavilion, looked southwest, and muttered to himself: "The Battle of Changping is almost over." ”

As Ji Kang said, the decisive battle between Qin and Zhao, which had been in the confrontation with the party for three years, finally came to an end at this moment.

In September, it was surrounded in the land of Changping Hyun Water Valley, and the main force of more than 300,000 Zhao troops. In the previous many times to break out, they were fiercely blocked by the Qin army, and both sides suffered heavy casualties, but the Zhao army still could not break through.

At this point, the Zhao army that was besieged in Changping, from the commander Zhao Kuo to the ordinary soldiers, all understood that the only thing they could rely on now was the reinforcements of the Zhao army. But the most critical thing now is that the Zhao army is besieged, and there is no food and grass. After the wounded horses were killed, Zhao Kuo ordered that all the war horses, including Zhao Kuo's, be killed to satisfy the hunger of the Zhao army.

Shangdang, Baili Stone Great Wall, Changping Pass.

The commander who led the Zhao army to reinforce the party, Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, looked at the Zhao army that was blocked by another attack and retreated. said to his adjutant general: "Our army has been unable to break through Changping Pass for a long time, so what can I do?" ”

Zhao Sheng's adjutant general also frowned beside him, and reported to Zhao Sheng: "General, now I have sent troops to report, and the Qin army has been found behind our army." And our army is here, and we can't break through the Changping Pass, if it takes a long time, our army will definitely suffer from the enemy! ”

Zhao Sheng closed his eyes, and after thinking for a long time, he couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh, and said weakly to the deputy general: "It seems that we can't break through this Changping Pass, and we can't save my Zhao army." Now the key is that our Zhao State has an empty domestic army, and we must prevent the Qin army from attacking our capital Handan. ”

Speaking of this, he said to his adjutant general with a choked voice: "Pass my order, and our army will withdraw to Handan." The army led by General Zhao Kuo could only find a way to break through by himself. ”

Zhao Sheng's lieutenant was stunned when he heard this. But he also knew that now this was the best countermeasure for Zhao Guo's reinforcements, so he choked up and took the order, and said to Zhao Sheng: "No." ”

On the tenth day of the first month of September, the Zhao reinforcements led by Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, attacked Changping Pass unsuccessfully after more than ten days of fierce fighting. In order to avoid being surrounded, the Zhao reinforcements were forced to return to Handan.

The news was transmitted back to Handan, and Zhao Wangdan was crying loudly in the palace hall.

On September 12, the Zhao army was besieged on the 40th day of Changping, at the bottom of the Hunshui River valley in Changping, the Zhao army was in the big tent.

In the early morning, the early sun still rises slowly from the east as usual, shining on the river valleys and mountains of Changping. But the land of Changping at this moment, within a radius of dozens of miles, is full of soldiers of Qin and Zhao, and the corpses of those killed in battle.

Deputy General Zhao Jun walked into the big tent of the coach Zhao Kuo, and found that the handsome table in the tent was full of wooden bamboo slips, and Zhao Kuo was staring at the blood-red eyes, looking at the military book.

Seeing this situation, the deputy general knew that the coach Zhao Kuo had not slept all night, clenched his fists and bowed, and said to Zhao Kuo with a choked voice: "General, it is reported that I will reinforce the troops to withdraw to Handan." Now our army has even killed all the war horses, and there have been incidents of cannibalism in the army. ”

When Zhao Kuo heard this, he was taken aback, stood up suddenly, and shouted in disbelief: "What? This is a serious matter. ”

The deputy general of the Zhao army nodded sadly and said to Zhao Kuo: "General, a certain general wants to ask you, can our army still break through?" ”

Zhao Kuo didn't say anything, closed his eyes, and after half a sound, he said to the deputy general: "Gather all the generals and come to my tent, I have something to say." ”

Deputy General Zhao Jun clenched his fists and bowed and said, "No." ”

After the generals arrived at Zhao Kuo's tent, Zhao Kuo pondered for a long time and said to the generals: "Generals, I'm afraid you have also got the news, my Zhao reinforcements have returned to Handan, and the reinforcements will not come." ”

After listening to Zhao Kuo's words, the generals of the Zhao army all looked heavy and earthy.
