December 3, 259 BC.

Outside the city of Handan, Nandaying.

There is the North Camp, and of course there is the South Camp.

However, compared with the North Daying, the South Camp is farther away from Handan, so Zhao Dan rarely comes to this South Camp on weekdays.

But there are always exceptions, and today is one exception.

At noon, Zhao Dan's royal driver, under the escort of 2,000 Yulin troops, came to a plain outside the southern camp.

In this plain, a full 100,000 Zhao troops have been assembled, quietly waiting for Zhao Dan to come.

Because Pang Xuan, the lieutenant general of the Northern Army, was ordered by Zhao Dan to temporarily preside over military affairs in the five northern counties, and this time Lian Po, the chief general of Zhao State, named and hoped to let the Southern Army Zhonglang General Le Cheng as his deputy, so the Southern Army became the main force of this expedition, and the 100,000 Zhao troops in this plain were expanded from the three captains of the Southern Army as the team.

The Great Wall of Zhao State, which was guarded by the Southern Army, was originally set up to guard against a sudden attack by Wei, but this time Wei and Zhao sent troops together, so there was no need to worry about taking away most of the main force of the Southern Army.

100,000 people is not a small number, you must know that usually two or three thousand people gather on the playground is already a sensation, this time 100,000 people gathered here, it can be said that looking at the past is all black and oppressive crowds, you can't see the end at all, extremely shocking.

Zhao Dan had just stepped down from the carriage, and Lian Po, who had been waiting for a long time, greeted him with the generals behind him, and saluted Zhao Dan in unison: "King." ”

Zhao Dan nodded slightly, and said to Lian Po: "Are the soldiers ready?" ”

Lian Po replied loudly: "The king of Hui is ready. ”

Today's Lian Po is covered in armor, with a red tassel on his head, a hook around his waist, and boots under his feet.

A simple wooden platform had already been built at the front of the 100,000 soldiers, and Zhao Dan walked all the way onto the high platform, facing the 100,000 army head-on.

In front of Zhao Dan, a soldier of Zhao State stood with a sword, everyone's waist was straight, the armor on his body was bright, the sword on his waist was sharp, and everyone's face was full of incomparable confidence.

Of course, they were confident, since Zhao Guo was humiliated in the Battle of Yan Ten years ago, Zhao Guo had never lost in any war in the past ten years!

The autumn wind blew, blowing Zhao Dan's sleeves slightly, with a hint of coldness, but when Zhao Dan looked at the 100,000 army in front of him, his heart was full of fiery expression.

This is an army with a well-groomed and strong fighting force, and can defeat two strong Qin forces in succession.

A recognized strong army in the world.

It's an army of outnumberers!

And today, under the witness of Zhao Dan, this world's strongest army will start from here and set off to the other side of Taihang Mountain, vowing to regain another victory for Zhao Dan.

Countless pairs of eyes gathered on Zhao Dan's body, quietly waiting for Zhao Dan to speak.

Zhao Dan spoke.

"The sons and daughters of Zhao Guo.

Over the past hundred years, the world has suffered for a long time.

Since the Shang Dynasty changed the law, the Qin State has been committed to advancing eastward and seeking to seize the land of the Jin State!

Anyi, Pingyang, Yiyang, and Quwo, all of which are the lands of the Jin Kingdom, were all taken by the Qin State!

Zhao inherited the orthodoxy of the Jin state, and the previous kings of the past dynasties all tried their best to recover their homeland from the Qin state, but the Qin people were cunning and impermanent, and this matter has been difficult to achieve.

Since the widow inherited the throne, he has worked day and night, and he does not dare to forget the teachings of the previous kings, and now, it is the time to recover the homeland of the Jin State from the hands of the Qin State, so that the people of the Zhao State can enjoy the glory!

The widow hereby announces that from now on, 100,000 troops will be sent to crusade against Hedong, and Hedong will not return, and the war will not stop! ”

As soon as Zhao Dan's words came out, the countless soldiers of the Zhao Army in front of him began to raise their arms and shout.

"There is no return to the east of the river, and the war will not stop!"

"There is no return to the east of the river, and the war will not stop!"

"There is no return to the east of the river, and the war will not stop!"

···

This voice converged into a huge wave of sound that echoed between heaven and earth, so that everyone who heard it couldn't help but feel excited in their hearts, and their hearts were full of war!

After a while, Zhao Dan stretched out his hand and made a downward posture.

The sound slowly calmed down.

Zhao Dan continued to speak: "The widow has already made a decision, in this battle to recapture Hedong, those who have made meritorious contributions in the war will be promoted to one more level on the original basis after the war, and the treatment of land slaves will be improved!" If you are willing to divide the land in Hedong County, then the land can be increased by another 20%! ”

As soon as Zhao Dan's words came out, all Zhao Jun who heard the news immediately became excited.

What is the most important thing in this day and age? That's the land, of course!

Now Zhao Dan has personally promised that as long as he wins this battle, he will be able to have land, and this land is still in the rich plains of Hedong County!

Hedong County, that's the granary of Qin.

Now the king has promised that as long as he fights for the king, then his family will be able to get a fertile piece of land in that rich place in Hedong County, which is more than 20% more than Handan!

It's simply worth it!

This time, there was no need for any encouragement from Zhao Dan, and countless cheers rang in Zhao Dan's ears.

"Zhao Guo, Wan Sheng! Zhao Guo, Wan Sheng! ”

This voice was so high, showing the full fighting spirit of the 100,000 soldiers of the Zhao State.

The morale of these soldiers has been fully mobilized and aroused.

These good men want to use a victory to get more land for themselves, to create better conditions for their families, and to let their children and grandchildren continue to live a better life!

This is much more practical than slogans such as loyalty to the monarch and patriotism, and it is also too useful.

In this age of talking about profit but not courtesy, what could be more touching than the real benefit of the title of land?

Absolutely nothing!

As ordinary people, the wishes of these soldiers are actually quite simple.

Give me a hundred acres of land, and I will be at your disposal!

However, it is ridiculous that many kings and nobles in the Warring States period refused to give even such a small amount of land.

But Qin Guoken, Shang Yingken, Legalist Ken!

So the Qin State had the last laugh, and the Legalists had the last laugh and became the ultimate ruler of the world.

Zhao Dan, of course, would not make such a mistake.

Looking at the enthusiastic Zhao soldiers in front of him, Zhao Dan nodded with satisfaction, and said to Lian Po, who was already riding his horse and waiting under the high platform: "General, the widow is here to wish you a triumphant return!" ”

Lian Po immediately gave a military salute to Zhao Dan, then turned around and shouted the first order to the 100,000 Zhao troops in front of him: "The whole army is leaving!" ”

Under Lian Po's order, the heralds immediately rode their horses and ran.

A moment later, Zhao's army began to move slowly, heading west.

Zhao Dan looked at the army in front of him, and the excitement in his heart became more and more hot.

If the Battle of Changping gave Zhao a chance to dominate with Qin, then in this Battle of Hedong, Zhao Dan will pull Qin down from the position of co-CEO, making Zhao the only overlord in this era, the most powerful country that I respect!
