Early in the morning, Zhao Dan just got up, dressed under the service of the queen, teased his children for a while, and went out to the side hall of Longtai to have breakfast in good spirits, ready to start his new work for the day.

Today, Zhao Dan's appetite looks pretty good, and the few dishes in front of him quickly entered his stomach, and just as he picked up the last piece of fresh beef tart, Mao Sui's figure hurriedly walked in.

"King, Hedong County is urgent!"

I have to say that the handover of power by Mixian is still very decisive, and now the command of the entire Hu Yiwei has been completely transferred to Mao Sui's hands, only the command of the supervision guard has not been handed over for the time being, but that is obviously a matter of time.

So now the number of times Mao Sui appears in front of Zhao Dan is almost the same as the previous Mixian.

Zhao Dan waved his hand to stop what Mao Sui was about to say, then threw the last piece of beef thorn into his mouth, tasted the refreshing taste brought by the fresh beef without hurrying, and swallowed it before he said: "Every time I listen to the military situation of Hedong County, the widow is always a little unable to eat...... Well, you can speak. ”

The corners of Mao Sui's mouth curled slightly, and in order to prevent Zhao Dan from finding out, he hurriedly bent his waist deeper, and said respectfully: "King, Jiangcheng has been attacked by the Qin army and fell a few days ago!" ”

"Jiangcheng?" Zhao Dan frowned when he heard this, and his mood was not beautiful all of a sudden.

You must know that Jiangcheng is located in the central area of the Hedong Basin, and the Qin people conquered Jiangcheng in just a few days, doesn't this mean that half of Hedong County has fallen into the hands of the Qin people again?

"This white rise, it's really fast!" Zhao Dan asked very unhappily: "What about the drama Xin, what is the drama Xin doing?" If the widow remembers correctly, he was still in Anyi the other day, right? Now that Jiangcheng has fallen, if he doesn't retreat, will he be copied by the Qin people? ”

As the saying goes, if you accidentally lose everything, when Bai Qi's department broke through the Yellow River defense line of Zhao State, Zhao Dan knew that Ji Xin would definitely never have a way to fight Bai Qi again.

Sure enough, Mao Sui immediately said: "Back to the king, General Juxin had already withdrawn from Anyi City after learning that Jiangcheng had been lost, but when he retreated, he was discovered by Bai Qi and led his army to pursue, and less than 20,000 of the 50,000 soldiers withdrew to Quwo. ”

Zhao Dan's eyelids jumped when he heard this news, this is more than 20,000 soldiers of Zhao State, and it is gone if he just said it?

Drama Xin, drama Xin, you really disappointed the widow a little this time!

Zhao Dan forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and said in a deep voice to Mao Sui: "If the widow remembers correctly, Jiangcheng is very close to Quwo!" So now Juxin is surrounded in Quwo again? ”

Mao Sui nodded and said, "Back to the king, that's exactly the case." However, please rest assured that the 30,000 reinforcements from Changping County have arrived in Quwo, and although the Qin army has the advantage in numbers, Quwo is absolutely worry-free for a while. ”

Zhao Dan let out a long breath, and his face finally looked better.

If even Quwo is lost, then basically Hedong County will be returned to the Qin people.

Having said that, this drama Xin lost so badly in less than half a month, it is really ......

Zhao Dan shook his head speechlessly, deciding not to dwell on Ji Xin's question anymore, and asked instead, "What about the reinforcements led by General Pang Xuan?" ”

Whether in terms of strength or quantity, the 100,000 reinforcements led by Pang Xuan are the strongest of all the reinforcements and the one most likely to stabilize the battle situation in Hedong County.

Mao Sui replied: "General Pang Xuan has already arrived at Duanshi, and it will take two or three days at most to reach Pigao Pass. ”

Zhao Dan breathed a sigh of relief, Pigao Pass is the west entrance and exit of Baicheng, and out of Pigao Pass is the basin of Hedong County, which means that Pang Xuan's troops will soon be able to enter the battle.

"Since Pang Xuan has almost arrived, then the reinforcements from Jinyang should have already arrived?"

Mao Sui said: "Judging by the schedule, the coalition forces of Jinyang should have arrived in Pingyang City at this moment. ”

"Pingyang City, there is still some distance from Quwo. Immediately give an order to the widow and let the defenders of Jinyang defend Yicheng and Pigao...... Wait, forget it. ”

Zhao Dan suddenly remembered one thing, that is, if Handan's messenger went to Hedong, it would take three to four days at the fastest speed, and by then it would be too late.

And Pang Xuan will soon enter Hedong, but he doesn't need to worry about it.

"By the way, the Cuihan passage has retreated, right?"

On Hangu Pass, Zhao still had thousands of soldiers stationed, but due to terrain and structural problems, Hangu Pass's defense capability against the pass was very weak.

Therefore, after learning that the Qin army was attacking Hedong County, Zhao Dan immediately issued an order to let the thousands of Zhao soldiers in Hangu Pass withdraw eastward as soon as possible and return to Shangdang County through Yiyang and Yewang in Korea, so as not to give these thousands of people to the Qin people in vain.

Mao Sui nodded and said: "Back to the king, these thousands of people have passed through Yewang City, and now they should be in the Changping area, and they can return to battle in a few days." ”

"Good." Zhao Dan nodded slightly, picked up a charcoal pen, and began to draw dots on the map in front of him.

Soon, a "Qin-Zhao War Situation Map of Hedong County" appeared in front of Zhao Dan.

Pingyang, Yicheng, Quwo, and Pilao, the three cities and one pass in the northeast of Hedong County, are the only small part of the land left in Hedong County of Zhao today.

Even counting the southern part of the Luliang Mountains to the north of Hedong County, two-thirds of the land of Hedong County of Zhao State has been occupied by the Qin people.

Zhao Dan threw down the charcoal pen a little unpleasantly, picked up the handkerchief on the side and wiped the carbon ash on his hand: "This white rise, it's really a noble soldier!" It has only been less than half a month, and the Hedong County and Cuihan Passage, which the widow only obtained through two wars, have almost taken him back. ”

At this time, Zhao Dan discovered one thing, that is, with the victory of these wars against Qin, he seemed to underestimate this opponent a little.

Although the current Qin State may no longer be the opponent of the Zhao State in terms of national strength, as long as the military merit system is still there, as long as Bai Qi is still there, this Qin State must not be underestimated!

Zhao Dan frowned and pondered for a long time, and finally came to a conclusion.

"No, you can't let Bai Qi continue to make the wind and rain go on anymore! Mao Sui, you go and find the widow for the widow! ”

A moment later, Mi Xian appeared in front of Zhao Dan: "The minister has seen the king!" ”

Zhao Dan nodded slightly, repulsed everyone, including Mao Sui, before saying to Mi Xian: "It's time to send a message to the person in Xianyang." ”

The so-called "that person" naturally refers to Lü Buwei.

Lü Buwei's dark line is extremely important to Zhao Guo, in line with the principle that the fewer people who know, the better, even Mao Sui, who has presided over Hu Yiwei's daily work, does not know Lü Buwei's dual identity.

Mi Xian's white eyebrows trembled slightly, obviously a little surprised, but he quickly regained his composure, bowed to Zhao Dan and said, "The minister obeys, what order does the king want to convey?" ”

Zhao Dan's fingers tapped lightly on the table, and after a while, he said to Mi Xian: "You told that person that Bai Qi is a big trouble for the widow and Zhao Guo, let him have to find a way to get Bai Qi down, at least drag him back, don't let Bai Qi attack the city and land in the widow's Hedong County so smoothly, understand?" ”

"Oh, the minister will do it!" Mi Xian bowed to Zhao Dan, and was about to retreat, when he suddenly thought of something again, and said: "King, the matter about Mrs. Mi has been clarified, and a total of sixteen Qin State spies with accurate identities have been found, and thirty-five people are suspected of being spies. ”

Although Zhao Dan asked Mao Sui to investigate at the beginning, after all, the matter involved the harem, and it was obvious that the eunuch Ling Mixian was the one who was more convenient to investigate.

Mixian did not live up to Zhao Dan's trust, and investigated everything clearly in just a few days.

"So much?" Zhao Dan's eyelids couldn't help but jump slightly, he took a deep breath, and said: "This matter is left to you to handle, catch what should be caught, and kill what should be killed!" As long as there is suspicion, no one can be let go! ”

Mi Xian responded, and said, "King, what if Mrs. Mi is also involved?" ”

Zhao Dan thought of the young and beautiful face that I saw pitiful, and then thought that the owner of this face might be a spy who had been painstakingly trained by the Qin State, and the anger in his heart was even worse, and said: "Check carefully, if Mrs. Mi is not among them, it would be fine, if she is also a spy of the Qin State...... Thou shalt leave the matter to the queen. ”

As the head of the harem, the queen has the right to punish all the ladies, and if this matter is handed over to the queen, then it is obvious that it will be dealt with according to the law.

Looking at the figure of Mi Xian leaving in a hurry, Zhao Dan exhaled a little depressedly, and thought in his heart: "Lian Po, Lian Po, the widow has given you so much time and trust, no matter how you are, you should send some good news back to the widow from the battlefield of Chu State, right?" ”
