The city of Handan was full of drums. At first, it was subtle, then dull, and gradually became passionate and majestic, and at the end, there was a faint hint of heroism and sadness. In the mournful drumming, the city at the end of Hanshan Mountain, which began in the Yin Shang period, finally opened its gates after countless days and nights of attack by the Qin army.

Under the rising sun, columns of Zhao soldiers poured out from the three gates and six gaps in the south of Guocheng, and they lined up in the triangle between the east of the capital and the south of Guocheng. Here the water bends to the south, then turns around, and flows from the east of Guocheng to the east. Beyond the water, the Qin army's camp was three miles away, and the millet seedlings in the fields there had long been scattered, but the remaining ears of millet were still yellowing in the autumn wind.

When the south gate of Handan Guocheng opened, Wang Jian took Lu Lijing's hand and shook inexplicably. In his vision, he saw more and more armor soldiers leaving the city, trampling through the dust in the mud that had not rained for a long time, and then being blown away by the north wind. The south gate of Guocheng is wide open, the east gate of the capital is wide open, and the soldiers of the huge armor gush out of the east gate of the capital, and a circle array is also listed on the south bank of the water.

The soldiers of the huge armor were exhausted, followed by the black-clothed palace guards who were pressed by black, and above the palace guards there was a banner of dragons up and down, which was the royal flag of King Zhao. The moment he saw the banner, the generals around Wang Jian were shocked, and some people couldn't help but read out King Zhao. The Zhao people finally came out, and they lined up two circular formations in the north and south of Fushui, in a vain attempt to break through from the interception of the 300,000 Qin army.

"Congratulations to the general on capturing King Zhao." Wang Ao suddenly smiled when he saw the banner on his face, and bowed to Wang Jian slightly.

"You and I are both fighting for the king, congratulations to the king, the death of the Zhao Kingdom!" Wang Jian smiled back, and the afterglow swept away the silent protector Zhao Yi. Zhao Yu is not Zhao Zi, Zhao Zi is an acquaintance, this Zhao Yu is not an acquaintance.

"If the general can capture and kill the king of Zhao, he will be a marquis." Wang Ao didn't notice Wang Qian's afterglow, he was just motivating Wang Jian to work hard. Like the government-in-exile in later generations, if the king of Zhao escaped, it would be extremely detrimental to the rule of Great Qin over Zhao.

Wang Ao said that he was a marquis, but Wang Jian had a smile on his face and no belief in his heart. What he can do is to make every effort to prevent the Zhao people from breaking through, and then demote him to save his life. With this purpose, he didn't want the Fang side to win, but hoped that Zhao Ren would break through, so that he could cut the knight reasonably and legally.

"Report ——!" The military report was terrible, "Jing people are ascending the city!" ”

The sound of artillery had stopped, and the head of the eastern city was flooded with dense Chu soldiers, and these people immediately poured into the city after landing the city, and soon a fire broke out in the city. It was the defenders of the city who lit the firewood and grass in the deep trench, and the Lirenyi was about to fall.

"There is no way to save it......" Wang Jian shook his head. Both sides of the river are all within the range of the Chu army's witch weapons, and no matter how many people they are, they will be sent to death. Wang Jian shook his head, and Wang Ao and Zhao Yi also shook their heads. Fortunately, there were only 2,000 Qin troops in the city, and the sacrifice of 2,000 Qin troops allowed them to know the direction of the Zhao people's breakthrough in advance, which could be regarded as a good deal. There are hundreds of thousands of Zhao people, and once they break through their formation, they will be beheaded no less than 300,000. For the sake of 300,000 heads, it is worth sacrificing twice the Qin army.

The fire in the Lirenyi is getting bigger and bigger, and the Qin army, trebuchet, and thorn crossbow on the south bank of the water continue to move to the earthen fortress on the north bank, and the Qin soldiers behind the fortress are wiping the halberd. Of course, the field battle is easier than the capture of Handan City, which is equivalent to the Zhao people sent to the door to be beheaded by themselves, if they can't cut off a head in this way, then they are really only worthy of being servants to others.

The Qin army was murderous, eager for heads and blood, while the Zhao people in the south of Handan City lined up without delay. Guocheng Zhao Jun Jiashi is lining up a huge circle array, the king of the capital is separated by water, and after leaving the city, he also lined up a small circle array of four hundred people wide, and the king is followed by the frame of Zhao Qian, the king of Zhao Qian and the queen mother's spiritual robe, as well as the five-colored soil in the Taishe and Taimiao, and the god of the ancestor Jun.

These are the gold, silver, brocade, skins, and treasures stored in the palace. Because the car should be driven as little as possible, except for Zhao Qian and Lingyuan, there are also elderly ministers and concubines, and the rest of the people, including the Crane Guanzi who can take the car, are all on foot.

The concubines of King Zhao Xiaocheng and the concubines of King Zhao Mourning Xiang, as soon as these pampered women in the deep palace leave the gate of the capital, the colorful clothes and the aroma of people make people forget that they are on the battlefield. They smiled skillfully and looked forward to their beautiful eyes, which made the faces of the armor soldiers in the round array hot, and also made some older ministers shake their heads again and again. Where are they fleeing, this is obviously out of the palace to make up.

Lingyuan did not blame the concubines for their dress and behavior, because this was what she secretly signaled. The first king has already died, and those concubines who are a little beautiful should let them stay in the cold palace alone, it is better to let them seduce the Chu people - if all the Chu generals have a Zhao wife and concubine, why worry about not recovering the country?

Fushui north and south, north is the Guocheng large array, south of the capital small array. When the flowery concubines entered the small circle array, the common people in Guo Cheng finally left the city. Most of the men over the age of 15 have already enlisted in the army, and the rest of the family is made up of women and children. These people also lined up in a line, and slowly walked into the Guocheng circle formation with the cooperation of the students of the school. Every mile, every drunkenness, every contempt ......, there are signs in the circle where they go, and tens of thousands of people go out of the city without any chaos.

The array was not chaotic, but the crying was loud, and some women suddenly felt sad in their hearts when they thought of going out of the city this time and not knowing when they would be able to return home. The crying hurt morale the most, and Sima Shang, who was standing on the Fushui Bridge, was about to pass down the feather to severely punish the cryer, and the fox baby hurriedly stopped him.

"The general should know that Ma Wangbei is the first hill of the fox. When the common people leave the city and go to the country, they mourn for themselves, why do they stop it? ”

"I know. However, the cry hurts morale, so why fight? Sima Shang sighed, he was also sad in his heart, but he tried his best to restrain himself, and tried his best to make a confident appearance so that his subordinates could trust him.

"The Great General is false. I heard it: There is no greater disaster than underestimating the enemy, and underestimating the enemy will lose a few treasures. Therefore, if the resistance is added, the mourner wins. "Fox Baby Road." Today, I Zhao people mourn, crying does not hurt morale, but lives and dies. If you don't get the heart of the Qin people, this victory will also be. ”

The fox baby judged that after Li Mu's death, he rarely spoke with a smile and a calm heart. Like other generals of the Zhao army, he hated the royal court, the queen mother, and Guo Kai. These people ruined the entire Zhao State for their own selfishness.

The fox baby was talking, and suddenly a gong sounded in the capital south of Fushui. The sound of the gong is the sound of the agreed warning, hearing the sound of the gong will all be shocked, the already noisy women and children crying more and more intense, at this time a few fast horses galloped to Sima Shang in front of the bridge, after saluting and said loudly: "General, the abolished prince Zhao Jia killed the armor and died!" ”

"Zhao Jia?!" Sima Shang's horror gradually turned into surprise, and Zhao Jia, who was heavily guarded by the Queen Mother, finally ran away.

"If this is the case, why should the gong be sounded?" Fox baby blames. The sound of the gong frightened the common people who were arrayed and made them even more panicked.

"The Queen Mother ordered us to pursue Zhao Jia, if we don't take it, we won't be able to do it today." The knight said helplessly. When the spirit robes in the small array heard that Zhao Jia had fled, they were already going crazy.

"It's about the survival of more than 400,000 Zhao people, how can you do it if you want to do it today, and you can't do it if you don't want it today." Sima Shang's beard trembled, and his face was full of indignation. War is not child's play, wait until tomorrow and leave, and the arrangement of the Qin army will be more rigorous. "You tell the Queen Mother that you must do it today!"

The array is north and south, and Shaofu craftsmen are erecting as many bridges as possible on the water. After receiving the order, the knight rushed back to the king's camp and reported Sima Shang's words to the spirit robe.

"What do you want?! What do you want?! "Lingluo is so angry that his face is blue, Zhao Jia is a more dangerous enemy than the Qin State, he actually took advantage of the chaos to kill the guards and ran away." Passing on the king's order, the whole army quickly entered the city to search for Zhao Jia! ”

Ling's voice was sharp when he was angry, but including Zhao Cong, the general of the king's pawn, and Han Su, the black-clothed general, none of the county lieutenants or school officials were ordered. One by one, they bowed their heads, as if they had not heard the king's command. Seeing this, Lingyuan was even more anxious, and she pointed to the general and lieutenant in front of her and said angrily: "You are not under the order of the king?!" You won't be ......."

"Empress Dowager Qi," it was Guo Kai who came out. "Since Zhao Jia is dead, he should go to Daidi, if he goes to Daliang, he is ordered to guard Zhao Mu in Daidi County, and he is ordered to capture Zhao Jia."

"On behalf of the county guard Zhao Mu......" Lingluo repeated the unfamiliar name, and laughed angrily: "Today they are not subject to the king's order, how can he be ordered by the king tomorrow?" Good! Since they are not under the king's order, I will return to the palace with the king, and you will abandon the king and enter Chu. ”

What Lingyuan said was obviously angry, but she was extremely angry, and she really wanted to let the royal hand ride the horse out of battle, and the crane Guanzi hurriedly stopped in front of the horse and said: "The queen mother and the king have returned to the palace, and the generals and doctors will not return to the palace, and the queen mother thinks that there is no king in Zhao Kingdom?" If there is no king, he is equivalent to welcoming Guo Jia back on behalf of the land, and if Guo Jia does not come, choose one of the princes. Where to go, please think twice. ”

After the crane finished speaking, his body had given way to the driver. Following him, Guo Kai and others also saluted and exclaimed: "Please think twice about the Queen Mother." ”

"The queen mother, the child does not want to return to the palace." The ministers wanted to persuade, and Zhao Qian also wanted to persuade. He didn't feel sad about leaving the country, but he looked forward to the journey. Handan, he's tired of it.

"Queen Mother," Guo Kai walked a few steps closer and whispered: "Most of the soldiers and common people think that Zhao Jiaxian is loved, how dare General Zhao and General Han be ordered to pursue it?" If the queen really returns to the palace with the king, Zhao Ying and others will take the opportunity to make Guo Jia the king. ”

"However, Guo Jia will go to the land, and the prince of the land will support him as the king." Ling's taut pretty face relaxed a little, but she was still very uneasy about Zhao Jia's trip to Daidi.

"What about making him king?" Guo Kai asked rhetorically. "In the land of the Yan Dynasty, the Qin people will take it for themselves, even if they are kings, they are just fake kings. In today's world, it is either Qin or Chu, and the Queen Mother is not worried about Zhao Jia, but also about the King of Chu. ”

"King Chu?" Lingyuan looked stunned. The anger caused by Zhao Jia's flight and the generals' refusal to give his life suddenly dissipated most.

"Yes, yes." Guo Kaidao, "If Zhao wants to restore the country, Qin has no hope, and only Chu can promise it." If he can get the help of the King of Chu, why should Guo Jia worry? The minister asked the queen mother to sit in the battle, so that she could meet the king of Chu after boarding the boat. ”
