Yang Zhai City.

The sun is about to set on the western horizon, and the sunset is as red as blood in the sky, and people can't help but feel a little strange emotions in their eyes.

The golden sunlight was projected on Ju Xin's body, but it didn't add much domineering to the old general, but instead made his face show a bit of gloom.

Ju Xin, who was on the city wall, looked at the continuous Chu State camp in the distance, and his old face looked quite worried.

By Ji Xin's side, many Zhao soldiers sat quietly on the battlements, and many of them were leaning on the city wall, as if they had completely fallen asleep.

The smell of blood in the air had not yet completely dissipated, and there were dried or not yet dried blood stains everywhere on the city, and if you looked closely, you could even see many bits and pieces, such as fingers or soles of feet.

Of course, the most you have to count the heads, after all, only the heads are an important basis for rewarding meritorious deeds.

So when some of the soldiers fell asleep sweetly on the battlements while holding a certain head, none of his comrades around him would feel anything strange or strange about it.

Of course, from time to time, there will be eyes on these soldiers - after all, it is very difficult to get a head in the middle of the siege, and it is very difficult to be honest, which will naturally make others feel envious.

This is already the second month of the siege of Yangzhai City, spring is about to pass, and summer is coming soon.

Although the seasons are changing, it seems that the scene in Yangzhai City has always been like that, and the siege of the Chu army and the defense of the Zhao army seem to have become a law, and they are staged regularly every day on the land under this sky.

A young general staggered up to the city and whispered to Ji Xin: "The general can go back and rest, and let the last man be on duty tonight." ”

Ju Xin glanced at the person who came, and suddenly said: "Sima Shang, do you tell me if the offensive of the Chu army has been much more fierce these days than before?" ”

Since the last time Zhao Han had an outstanding performance in Shangdang County, Sima Shang has become a close confidant of Ji Xin, and this time he went to South Korea naturally with Ji Xin and became a member of Zhao Xin's army.

Sima Shang was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then replied: "General Hui, this is indeed the case. The last general thought that the Chu army looked very urgent, as if he couldn't wait to break the city immediately, which was completely different from the previous attitude of besieging but not attacking. ”

Ji Xin nodded, the corners of his mouth moved slightly, and a smile was pulled: "Hey...... Sure enough, it is the same as what the old man thought, it seems that this Chu person is really in a hurry. ”

Sima Shang was observing his words on the sidelines, and couldn't help but ask: "Could it be that General Fei already knows the reason why the people of Chu are so impatient?" ”

Ji Xin nodded and said, "I naturally know." There is only one thing that can make the people of Chu so impatient, that is, Xinzheng's side may not be able to hold on. ”

Xinzheng is indeed going to be unable to hold on.

Han Wangran was furious in the palace, and a table was smashed by him, and it seemed that it might shatter at any time.

"These damned people of Qin, Chu and Qi! Before the war, one or two had said well, but now none of them can come to help the widow! ”

Han Wangran's anger is justified.

Originally, after the fall of Wei and Yan, the remaining four countries were already secretly connected and ready to join forces to deal with Zhao.

As a result, now Zhao Guodu has taken the lead in making a move, and Xinzheng has been surrounded for so long, but no reinforcements, not even a single soldier, have arrived outside Xinzheng City.

Han Wangran knew very well how much strength he had, not to mention anything else, if he let Jin Huang take the army in Xinzheng City to fight against Lian Po, he would definitely not be able to defeat him.

As for the defense of the city, to be honest, no one knows when the city will be breached, and Xinzheng is the capital of South Korea, but here are all the military and political leaders of South Korea, including Han Wangran, once this place is breached, then South Korea will inevitably usher in only sudden death.

Therefore, Han Wangran was very impatient, even when Jin Huang had repeatedly assured him that it was impossible for the Zhao people to break through Xinzheng, Han Wangran was still very impatient.

Jin Huang was standing in front of Han Wangran at this moment, the new prime minister of South Korea was dressed in a military uniform, and the whole person stood straight and straight, which looked more in line with his previous general setting.

In fact, after Feng Ting left office, Jin Huang had no opponent and became the number one in the South Korean military and government.

Of course, everyone knows that this is only temporary, and Han Wangran, who works in the way of power, will definitely reduce Jin Huang's authority, but in the current situation that South Korea still needs Jin Huang to support, Jin Huang's position is absolutely stable, and no one will be able to shake it.

Jin Di stood there, and said to Han Wangran angrily: "Don't worry, the king, I heard that the Qin army has begun to attack Hangu Pass, and the Chu army has also surrounded Yangzhai City, as long as any of these two roads can successfully break through, then Xinzheng can usher in reinforcements." At that time, the minister will lead the army and reinforcements to cooperate with the outside and completely expel Lian Po from the territory of Korea! ”

Jin Huang was full of confidence when he said this.

If Jin Di's heart was still a little panicked at the beginning, then as the defense of the city continued, Jin Di's mood slowly calmed down.

There is no other reason, mainly because Jin Huang suddenly found that this Lian Po looks like a big name, but when it comes to siege, it doesn't seem to be a big deal.

Carts, towers, trebuchets, ladders, these are the things that have been a regular occurrence in the last few hundred years of war, and there is nothing surprising or surprising at all.

Jin Huang didn't even need to study any clever schemes, he just needed to use the methods that everyone had been accustomed to in the war to deal with the Zhao people.

Of course, in fact, there are some troubles, that is, Jin Huang clearly felt the difference in strength between the soldiers of Zhao and the South Korean soldiers in this war.

If the soldier of the Korean army is a howling wild dog, then the soldier of the Zhao army is a ferocious wolf! Don't look at the dog barking happily, but if you really fight, you will be bitten to death by a wolf in a few strokes.

In the past siege battles, the soldiers of the Zhao army also briefly climbed the top of the city, and every time this time was the time when Jin Huang and the Han army were under the greatest pressure, because they would find that any Zhao army who climbed to the top of the city was an extremely difficult character, and they didn't even want to kill him without paying more than five lives.

If it was a battle on the plains, Jin Di felt that with the same number, he was afraid that he and the Han army would collapse for a thousand miles if they supported for two hours at most.

Of course, it is impossible to say such words in front of Han Wangran, after all, Jin Huang is also very clear in his heart, Han Wangran is very suspicious, if the battle situation is very difficult, then Han Wangran will not think that it is because the opponent is too strong, he will think that Jin Huang is too weak.

If Han Wangran is made to think like "Jin Huang is not suitable to be a general defending the city" because of this, then Jin Huang will not lose a lot.

Han Wangran's face didn't get much better after hearing about Jin Huang's safety, he just shook his head and said: "That's not what I said, the people of Qin are not Li Mu's opponents, and the people of Chu can't wait to see the liveliness of the widows, and they are full of hope that both the widows and the Zhao countries will lose." Besides, that bastard thing of the king of Chu occupies so much land of this king, and this king has not settled accounts with him! As for that guy from King Qi...... Hey, don't mention it! ”

Obviously, Han Wangran still has a great opinion on the slow movements of the other three kings.

Jin Di frowned, and at this time, he suddenly missed his former colleague Huayang Jun Feng Ting.

If Feng Ting was still here, then with his wisdom, he would probably be able to calm the king's anger with just a few words, right?

But Feng Ting was not there, so Jin Di had to figure out a way by himself.

So Jin Huang said: "King, now that the country is in danger, the minister feels that it is better to repel the Zhao people. Once the Zhao people are repulsed, then the Zhao State will definitely be angry with Qin, Chu, Qi and other countries. At that time, no matter which of these countries Zhao attacked, the king could profit from it. Moreover, the king can completely let people lobby Zhao and let Zhao attack Chu. When the time comes, the king of Chu will be terrified, and he will naturally return those lands to the king. ”

When Jin Huang said this, Han Wangran finally turned his anger into joy, and after thinking about it, he waved his hand helplessly, and said: "That's it, anyway, the army of widows can't get out of this Xinzheng City now, so let's make King Chu happy for a few days." After defeating Lian Po, the widow will have a good theory with this King of Chu to see why he is so rampant! By the way, how has the offensive of the Zhao army been these days? ”

In the end, Han Wangran finally remembered the most critical thing for him at the moment.

Jin Huang coughed and said respectfully: "Back to the king, the minister has just repelled the offensive of the Zhao army, and there is no change from before. ”

In fact, what Jin Di didn't say was that the Zhao army's offensive had actually become much more fierce than before.

"Really?" Han Wangran glanced at Jin Di with some confusion and said, "Why do you feel that the sound of the siege has become noisy in the past few days?" Sometimes the ancients couldn't sleep well. ”

When he said this, Han Wangran's eyes were firmly fixed on Jin Di, as if he wanted to see if Jin Di was lying to him.

Jin Di's face did not change, and he said to Han Wangran very calmly: "This may be because the Zhao army has added a few trebuchets recently, and please don't worry, it is impossible for the people of Zhao to break through the Xinzheng city wall." ”

Han Wangran didn't seem to relax because of Jin Di's words, but continued to stare at Jin Di, and said to Jin Di, "Really? But how did the widow hear that the people of Zhao had a weapon called the Heaven-Shaking Thunder, which could easily break through the city wall? ”

As soon as Han Wangran's words came out, Jin Di's expression instantly stiffened slightly, but he immediately returned to normal and said, "The king is too worried. If that earth-shattering thunder could really be useful, the people of Zhao Guo would have already used it, so why wait until today? The minister felt that it should be impossible for the earth-shattering thunder of the Zhao people to break through the Xinzheng city wall. Moreover, the minister also pays special attention these days to prevent the people of Zhao from having the opportunity to dig holes under the city wall and fill in the earth-shaking thunder. ”

Han Wangran pondered for a long time, and finally recognized Jin Di's judgment, and said to Jin Di: "Okay." Since this is the case, then please ask Jin Qing to bother more about this battle. After the Zhao people were repelled in this battle, the widow would be the king of you! ”

Jin Di's body shook, a look of excitement appeared on his face, and he saluted Han Wangran: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

Han Wangran nodded, waved his hand and said, "The widow is also tired, so let's stop here today." ”

Jin Huang said: "The minister will retire." ”

After saying that, Jin Huang turned around and walked towards the outside of the hall, what Han Wangran didn't notice was that when Jin Huang turned around, the excited expression on his original face disappeared without a trace.

After leaving the palace and getting into his own carriage, Jin Di suddenly opened his mouth and instructed the coachman: "Go to Huayang Jun's Mansion." ”
