"Aren't you going to take the city and capture Gyeonggi as soon as possible?" Xu Yuan replied with some puzzlement. Then Zhao Qian shook his head: "No, now that Fengtian has eliminated traitors, the first point is to be justified, we must first cut off the north and the south and form a threat, and then we can make the imperial court pay attention to it and get a piece of the pie in this troubled era." Xu Yuan understood that he wanted to disrupt the current situation, so that the court could not take care of the external and internal troubles.

"What does Your Highness mean, Handan, Baoding, and obtained at the same time?" Ren Qiu asked tentatively. Zhao Qian nodded. "Since you want to annex the world, you naturally can't play cards according to secular common sense, now the north is tight, there are few soldiers in various places, and they are still recruiting, and the combat effectiveness is naturally not as good as ours, any autumn, you and Xu Yuan will lead 20,000 troops alone, and in three days, take the two cities of Handan and Baoding!" The two came out of Yamen Zhaoqian's room, glanced at each other, and then turned back. Zhao Qian saw the two people coming back and asked, "Is there any problem, why did the two generals come back at the same time?" ”

Who said it first, the two of you, you pull me, I pull you, no one will speak first, Zhao Qian was a little puzzled, "Xu Yuan, what is the matter." Xu Yuan had a bitter face and looked at Zhao Qian: "Your Highness, from Baoding Mansion to us, we have to walk for a day at the earliest, not to mention that we still have baggage, it is difficult to walk back and forth in three days, and we have to capture the city, this is really not an easy thing!" Zhao Qian had never led any troops, and this question obviously stumped him, and he asked, "Two generals, how can we be more advantageous militarily?" ”

"Now our place is too close to the northern border, if we wait for the army to assemble in the northern border, it will not be difficult for Qin Qiteng to deal with us, so we have to make the situation chaotic now." Any autumn road. There was a slight sparkle in his eyes. "So what do you mean? Where should we use our troops first? "Handan." The two said in unison, Zhao Qian nodded, got up and saluted the two of them, the two of them saw his formation, hurriedly returned the salute, Zhao Qian said: "Talk to the two of you today, I know how shallow my talent is, I hope the two of you will help me more in the military in the future." ”

Since it is necessary to stabilize the southern defense line, then it is natural to fight Handan, Xu Yuan and others gathered their troops out of Yaoshan City, and the people watched the assembly of the army, and they all looked at it with their heads exposed in front of the door and window, and Hu Xue'er looked at the general who was riding on a tall horse, and it was the man who claimed to be a bandit at her house that day. She stroked her stomach, she was extremely greedy and gained a lot of weight in the past few days, but she didn't care, she was alone in this world, without relatives and no reason, just live well.

Today it was a Lang Zhong who sat on the edge of her bed with a big belly, and Cher withdrew her gaze, closed the window, curled over, and sat on his lap. "Doctor Ji, you have often come to see me recently, and the way I look at Jade is not right, master, for you, I have been wronged!" Doctor Ji's fat face touched her chest: "My Xue'er, blame me recently, I didn't come because of the war, I was dragged over to be a military doctor, and I will come to you as soon as I come back." He lowered his head and was about to untie her wide clothes, but frowned: "What's the matter with your belly?" ”

"I've been greedy lately, you see, I've gained weight." She stood up and spun around in front of his eyes. Doctor Ji's brows furrowed. "No, come here, stick your wrist out." Xue'er handed her wrist in front of him, Lang Zhong checked the pulse, looked at her face carefully, and said, "You are more than four months pregnant, do you know?" Xue'er's face turned pale instantly, and she shook her head: "I don't know. "Looking at your body today, I'm afraid I can't, think about it out of this place, can you still let the doll grow up in this kind of place?" Grow up to be a slave and a turtle slave? I'm going to look for Jadeite, you're doing it yourself. ”

Hu Xue'er went to find the mother, she held Hu Xue'er's hand: "Good boy, I know you also have your own difficulties, you and my Fengyue Building have not signed a deed of sale with you for so many months, you earn money for me, and I have also taken care of your food, since this injustice has come, if you want to keep it, I won't stop you, you will pack up this evening and leave Fengyue Tower, quietly, don't let those who hang signs see it." ”

In the evening, Hu Xueer packed up her things, she didn't bring any of the things in Fengyue Building, these things didn't belong to her, and now she wants to take her children to live another life. On the way out of the city, she passed by with Wang Yuanwai's carriage, Wang Yuanwai heard that she was in Yaoshan City, so he urged the carriage to come to her, Wang Yuanwai this time, brought a thousand taels of silver from home, he was determined to take Xue'er away, but he didn't expect to pass by her, to Fengyue Tower, only to know that she had left, out of the city, there was no shadow of Xue'er in all directions, I heard my mother say that she was pregnant with a child, that must be his, he has this confidence. Now that he has been childless for many years, if Cher gives birth to a son for him, then he will definitely be able to marry her home.

But after searching for three days, Wang Yuanwai did not find Xue'er, and when he was desperate and forcibly called home by Wang Laoyuanwai, Xu Yuan had already begun to attack the city. Here in Handan, the capital of Yan in ancient times, although it is no longer so valued, but the spirit of the big city is still very strong. Looking at this city inherited from ancient times, Xu Yuan beckoned: "Artillery camp, release!" The drums sounded, and thousands of cannons bombarded the city gate of Handan City at the same time, only to see that the city tower instantly turned into a sea of fire, and the defenders reacted instantly, these soldiers obviously did not come to support the northern border passing by! This time the reaction was very fast, while sending people to Baoding Mansion to ask for help, and at the same time sending people to fetch bows and arrows to fight back, and the city gate was locked. But the city tower was bombed too much, and soon it was occupied by the soldiers who climbed upstairs, and fought and retreated, the soldiers defending the city were stunned, and they had no will to fight, so they threw down their weapons and fled, Xu Yuan sent troops to take over Handan, collected the remnants of soldiers and refugees, and the army expanded to 100,000 people, and the military report was sent to the Ministry of War.

Although Liu Huizu is confused, not everyone in the Great Zhou Kingdom is like him. The governor of Zhili's yamen, the governor looked at the soldiers who came to report the news, and asked, "Is there enough grain and grass in Handan City?" The soldier nodded again and again: "Sufficient, sufficient." The lord smiled, looked at the soldier, and asked, "Do you know who came to attack your Handan City Division?" The soldier said: "Their banner has the word "Shen" written on it, and their subordinates don't know where this army came from. "How long can Handan City last?" "Handan was attacked suddenly, and there is no possibility of holding it, please send troops to rescue the yamen as soon as possible!"

Speaking of this, both sides have already made up their minds, and the governor closed his eyes: "This official knows, you go down first." ”
