Chapter 112 **** and the archway
No matter what time of day, the sun always gives a warm feeling. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoWang Jian walks on the sunlit sand, even though it is the harsh winter season. But the strong sunlight on the body still feels warm and smoky and comfortable.
Two or three miles away is the tall Handan city, and the city wall looks black and swarthy in the sun, like a giant beast lying still, ready to choose people to devour at any time. And what could only be filled into the belly of this giant beast was the corpses of one soldier after another. Even, there may be Wang Qian's own.
The last time the Qin army besieged Handan City was more than ten years ago. In that chapter, the old king's tomb almost fought for his life, and he did not capture this Zhao Guojian city. After Xinlingjun performed a wonderful story of stealing talismans to save Zhao, he broke the Qin army under Handan City. The tiger and wolf Qin army, who carried the remnants of the Battle of Changping, were defeated and fled, and the battle line was retracted back to Hangu Pass. And there was another side effect of this battle, that is, it accidentally made King Qin kill Wu Anjun Baiqi.
Thinking about the bloody battle of the Qin army under Handan City, Wang Jian beat a drum in his heart. Whether it is Wang Ling or Wang Di, they are all great Qin generals. They besieged it for two years, and the city of Handan still stands. What are the odds of attacking the city when the back road may be cut off at any time?
These days, Wang Jian led the army all the way to Handan City, just preparing to hit the monarchs and ministers of Zhao State by surprise. Unexpectedly, Zhao Ren seemed to have been on guard. Now the gates of Handan City are closed, and the patrolling soldiers are constantly flowing on the city wall. It looks like it's just prepared. As soon as he thought of this, Wang Jian felt a headache. Should I go back to the army and dig out Li Mu's back road? (Wang Jian didn't know that Li Mu had hung up!) ļ¼
At this time, there was a fierce debate going on in King Zhao's palace, although he had already surrendered with an iron heart. But Guo Kai and Zhao Wangqian still didn't dare to say it, after all, there are a lot of soft-boned Zhao people. But there are also a lot of hard stubbles, such as Sima Shang, who transported Li Mu's coffin back to Handan from the front line.
"General Sima, you just said that you would hold on to Handan, and at the same time ask for help from the Wei State. But as far as the old man knew, Wei was also suppressed by the Qin army, and he couldn't send a large army at all. Moreover, this time the Qin army besieged Handan City, which was completely different from the last time. Last time, our army was at a disadvantage in numbers. But the city has abundant grain and grass, so our army has only held out for two years. But this time, the granaries in the city could only last for three or four months. If the Wei army does not come for three or four months...... Aren't we people in Handan going to starve to death? Doctor Lu Xiao said foaming. This guy is Guo Kai's loyal lackey, even if Guo Kai says that the eggs are from the tree, he will say that there is a handful with two leaves.
"Looking at the princes today, they are all afraid of Great Qin. Especially the State of Qi and the State of Yan and the State of Wei, as long as the State of Qin annexes our State of Zhao. Then the Qi State will be directly exposed to the Qin people's troops, if we send envoys to the Qi State, we will definitely be able to borrow grain and grass, and even the Qi State and the Yan State may send reinforcements to support our Great Zhao.
As long as we support it for two months, things will go in our favor. When the time comes, the inside and outside will definitely be able to repeat the past when Xinling Jun defeated the Qin people. What is Dr. Lu afraid of? Could it be that if we surrender to the Qin people, we can ensure that the Qin people like tigers and wolves will not kill in vain. Have you forgotten that Changping has hundreds of thousands of unjust souls? They were all killed after laying down their weapons. Sima Shang stared at this Lu Xiao angrily, and glared at Lu Xiao so much that he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Sima Shang at all.
Guo Kai pouted, and now the forces in the court are very clear. The generals led by Sima Shang were all opposed to surrender, and the ministers led by themselves meant surrender in and out of their words. I thought that the generals would be easy to deal with if they were clumsy, but I didn't expect that Sima Shang was also a sharp-tongued character.
Turning his head, he saw Zhao Wangqian looking at him. Guo Kai nodded, the purpose of today's court meeting is just to test who is now opposed to surrender in the court. Now that it has been tried, there is no need for the battlefield court discussion to continue.
"Silence!" Guo Kai stretched out his hand and suppressed the "buzz" and "buzz" sound in the hall.
"What Dr. Lu said is also for the sake of the people of Handan and the king. What General Sima said, naturally, is also for the foundation of my Great Zhao. That's all for today's court discussion, you must fulfill your duties when you go back to your respective yamen, and you have to think carefully about how you can help my Da Zhao get out of such a predicament. Retreat! ā
As soon as Guo Kai's two words fell, Zhao Wangqian raised his butt and left. didn't give Sima Shang and the others a chance to speak at all, and the helpless ministers could only bow down and send Zhao Wangqian away. Guo Kai saw that Zhao Wangqian had slipped away, and hurriedly followed. I was entangled by those chirping guys, and I couldn't get out of it for a while.
followed King Zhao back to the harem and dispersed the left and right. Only the surrender duo remained in the hall, and Zhao Wangqian said in a panic: "If the Qin army attacks the city tomorrow and suffers heavy casualties." Will our agreement with the Qin people still take effect? I heard that Wang Jian is an unruly guy, what if he is fierce? ā
"There's no way, my lord, now the main battle is the generals. What can we do, if we force the order to surrender, there will be a mutiny. Guo Kai was also helpless. When the country is in turmoil, the status of civilian officials is far less important than that of military generals. At the end of the day, the handle of the knife is in the hands of others. Now in this situation, Zhao Wangqian's prestige has fallen to the freezing point. It is simply impossible to count on Zhao Wangqian to force Sima Shang and them to surrender.
"That's ......!" Zhao Wangqian was also speechless, things have come to this point, and he has nothing to do.
"It's better to do this, let's send someone to contact Wang Jian outside the city. Then secretly opened the city gate and let the Qin army in. Handan has more than 30,000 troops, and it can be supported for a period of time with the city wall. But if they were rushed in by the Qin army, if they didn't surrender, they could only wait for death. When the time comes, we will close the palace and not let Sima Shang and them in. Let them fight with the Qin people, and wait until the Qin people purge Sima Shang and them. The king opened the city and surrendered, presumably the history books of Qianqiu will not say that the king is a king who does not resist, what do you say? ā
Guo Kai knew that Zhao Wangqian wanted to be a **** and wanted to set up a memorial arch. I want to surrender to save my life, but I am afraid of the infamy of not resisting.
"So good! Who can be sent? Don't let anyone else know! Zhao Wangqian looked at Guo Kaidao.
When Zhao Gao left, he left a letter from King Qin. If the king agrees, the minister is willing to go on a trip himself. "At this time, no one can be trusted, in case the news is leaked, Guo Kai's 10,000 lives are not enough to cut.
"So good! Aiqing does things, rest assured! (To be continued.) )
