Chapter 257: Sudden Assassination (Part 3)

100,000 men is a very large number, and with the slow pace of the march, it is impossible for the entire army to leave this place completely without an hour.

Of course, Zhao Dan wouldn't have that idle time to watch him stupidly here, so after delivering such an inspiring speech, Zhao Dan quickly drove back to the palace.

The southern camp is much farther away from Zhao Dan than the northern camp, and it takes a lot of time on the road, more than two hours.

Zhao Dan sat in the carriage, his body rising and falling with the rolling of the wheels, very bumpy.

I have to say that this feeling is very uncomfortable, which makes Zhao Dan extremely nostalgic for the car he traveled through the previous world.

Even if it's cheaper like QQ and F0, it's much stronger than this carriage!

So Zhao Dan felt that it was necessary for him to consider the construction of the Chi Road.

If Zhao Dan is not mistaken, after the historical Qin Shi Huang unified the whole of China, he once built a network of galloping roads throughout the country.

It is said to allow horses to travel thousands of miles a day on it, and it also speeds up the movement of troops while reducing the consumption of supplies.

Sounds pretty impressive.

But Zhao Dan thought about it for a while, and finally dispelled such an idea.

The reason is also very simple - no money.

Don't look at Zhao Guo's business development now, but due to the continuous use of soldiers, the consumption of money is also very large.

In last year's Battle of Changping and when Qi "borrowed" grain, Zhao paid a lot of money for these grains.

After returning from the victory in the Battle of Changping, Zhao Dan spent a lot of money from the treasury of Zhao to give the soldiers as a reward.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Dan established the northern and southern armies, and the treatment of the northern and southern armies was also quite generous, and the military salary of 100,000 soldiers was another big expense.

If it weren't for the fact that Zhao Dan extorted a sum of money from Wei Wangyu because of the Gao Ji incident in the Three Jin Alliances a few months ago, Zhao's treasury would be a little unsustainable now.

But now, as long as Hedong County is knocked down, then with the wealth of Hedong County, the money in the city treasury of Hedong County should be able to support it for two or three years.

In general, it is a sentence, to feed the war with war.

Of course, in addition to open source, it is also necessary to reduce expenditure.

Zhao Dan had already thought about it, and when this battle was won and Hedong County was taken down, the money that should have been rewarded could be offset by the land.

For example, as long as you are willing to give up the monetary reward, you can directly divide one or two percent more fields!

Of course, in view of the fact that the local fields of Zhao have been divided up and there is basically nothing left, these new fields can only be in Hedong County.

Zhao Dan felt that this kind of exchange should be acceptable to many Zhao soldiers.

After all, money is lost when it is spent, but land is worth retaining for a long time.

If you want to choose between land and money, most of the soldiers of Zhao should choose land.

Chinese are very fond of things like land, which is not divided into Zhao and Korea, nor between the Han Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, and it is clearly written in the history books.

Behind the rise and fall of every feudal dynasty is often the displacement of displaced people due to land annexation, and finally a large-scale riot uprising, and then the new dynasty and the old dynasty exit.

If money is the root of all evil in the future, then in today's ancient society, land is also the root of all evil!

Zhao Dan sat on the carriage and thought about it, and even forgot the pain of the bumps for a while.

Before you know it, Handan City is already in sight, and there are more pedestrians and carriages on both sides of the road.

This road is the main road connecting Handan and Daliang, the two metropolises of the Central Plains, and Handan and Daliang are the two most prosperous cities in the Central Plains at this moment and far away from the war, so the pedestrians, cars and horses on the road can be said to be endless.

Of course, in front of Zhao Dan's royal guard of honor, all pedestrians, carriages and horses have to stand aside, otherwise the two thousand Yulin army will directly use the sword on his waist and the crossbow in his hand to teach him how to behave.

Blocking and colliding with honor guards is a capital offense.

Many passers-by stood on the side of the road, watching Zhao Dan's royal guard of honor from a distance, and there were many discussions in their mouths.

A Qi scholar stood on the side of the road and looked at Zhao Dan in the carriage, with a shocked look on his face, and couldn't help muttering, "Is this that Zhao Wang Dan?" I didn't expect this world-famous king of Zhao to be so young. ”

A man from Zhao Guo, who happened to be standing next to him, was a little unhappy when he heard this, and immediately retorted: "What's wrong with being young? Can't you do big things when you're young? Our king of Zhao is so young and promising! There was a look of pride in his words.

It was not only this Zhao man, but many Zhao people and traders on the side also agreed with this after listening to this man's words.

"Even so, you don't want to think about it, what kind of male lord Qin Wangji is, who almost destroyed the country of Ruqi! No, he lost in the battle against the king. ”

"Compared to Qi Wangjian of Ruqi Kingdom, our king doesn't know how many times stronger."

After snatching the white this time, the scholar of Qi was speechless, and his face turned red and white.

Fortunately, after Zhao Dan's carriage passed, order was naturally restored on the road, and everyone continued on the road, and no one cared about the stunned Qi scholar anymore.

Qi Guoshi secretly thought to himself: "Seeing that this king of Zhao has gained fame and made this meritorious achievement at such a young age, he must be a rare male lord, if he can take refuge in this king and get an official and a half-position, why worry about not carrying forward my talents?" ”

The more Shizi thought about it, the more excited he became, and he couldn't care about the ridicule just now, and continued to follow Zhao Dan's car towards Handan.

However, this gentleman seemed to be in danger today, and he had only just walked a few steps before he was rudely pushed away from behind: "Get out of the way, don't get in the way here!" ”

This gentleman was pushed so that he almost fell to the ground, and he couldn't help but be furious in his heart, and he was about to raise his head and scold, but he saw that it was a group of evil men who pushed him away, and they didn't look like good people with a fierce light in their eyes.

So the scholar had no choice but to swallow the curse back into his throat.

Next, something happened that made the gentleman dumbfounded.

This group of villains was also pushing a few wheelbarrows, and the wheelbarrows were covered with cloth curtains, which looked like they were doing business, and they walked extremely fast under their feet, and they chased directly after Zhao Dan's Wang Jia, who had just left.

When they chased after those royal forest soldiers who were still about to reach the station and were about to approach the end of Zhao Dan's guard of honor, these evil men suddenly lifted the curtain on the wheelbarrow, revealing the true face of Lushan in it.

Just a few feet away from these evil men, the scholars looked at it, and a chill suddenly rose from their bodies.

The contents of these wheelbarrows are not cargo, but a pair of incomparably fine crossbows!

The scholar stood there sluggishly, watching these villains pick up these crossbows that had already been wound from the cart, and then aimed at Zhao Dan, who was still sitting on the carriage of the king hundreds of paces away, and had no idea about this matter.

The next moment, the gentleman burst out with what was probably the loudest shouting in his life.

"There are assassins!!
