After clearing the battlefield, the whole army was ordered to enter Shangdang County and station at the weekend.

On the weekend, he temporarily lived in the yamen of the county town and conquered Shangdang County, and the generals of Chu State were all happy, because if Shangdang County was defeated, the army of the Zhao army would be cut off by the Chu State, and those supplies could not be sent to the Zhao army camp in time.

They had to borrow grain from other places temporarily, and the entire Zhao State was just around the corner.

"Great, my lord."

"Today we will temporarily rest for one night, and tomorrow we will leave 50,000 people to guard, and the rest will go out of the well with me and go to Handan to meet Sun Ping." King Zhao is in the capital Handan, as long as Handan is defeated and King Zhao is captured, Zhao will be equivalent to destroying the country.

After resting for a day, he continued to march towards Handan with the Chu army on the weekend.

On the third day of the march, the route of the march was discussed with the generals on the weekend.

"King, Yi'an's reinforcements have arrived." The messenger hurried to report.

"The guards on the Yi'an side learned that Shangdang County and Handan had been attacked, and they would rush to the rescue day and night. In addition to the reinforcements in Yi'an, there may be other reinforcements. ”

After all, it is Handan that is besieged, and the defenders from other parts of Zhao will also come one after another, and there may be people who want to take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.

After all, in troubled times, people's hearts fluctuate.

Although King Zhao is orthodox, he has many brothers, Handan is trapped, King Zhao is in danger, and his brothers and uncles may have other thoughts. When the time comes, if you don't save Handan, you may obstruct it.

"There are so many of us, and there is plenty of food and grass, and it is too late for Yi'an's Zhao army to come." Yi'an's defenders didn't have as many siege equipment as he did, and even if they came, they could only rely on cloud ladders to attack.

And in order to save Handan, even if the commander of the Zhao army knew that he had no siege equipment and was running a long distance, he could only bite the bullet. Because, if Handan is gone, the entire Zhao State will also be gone.

Qin Qian said: "Fortunately, the king is wise and takes us to occupy Shangdang County before them." ”

All the generals nodded in approval. "yes."

"Of the 50,000 people I left in Shangdang County, there are 30,000 elite soldiers, which can completely deal with the reinforcements in Yi'an. The most important thing now is how to bring down Handan City. ”

Qin Qian thought for a moment and said: "There are some people at the Nian Pole who are still in Handan, and after the king personally leads the troops to Handan, maybe they will find a way to cooperate with us inside and outside." "After the war between Chu and Zhao, Zhao drove out the merchants who were doing business in Zhao. A lot of people at the year pole were driven out, but there were some Zhao people who stayed in the year pole.

Cheng Jia shook his head. "It's wartime, and the walls are heavily guarded, so it's not so easy for them to do it."

"You can't put all your hope in them." Staring at the map of Zhao on the weekend, his eyes were sharp.

"Most of the people who are bought by the year pole are villains who seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, all they think is to meet the source left and right, and they will work for whoever can give them money, but it is really unrealistic for them to take risks for the Chu State regardless of life and death."

Qin Qian nodded. "That's what the king said." Many of the ministers of the Zhao State who were bought by the Nian Pole were favored by the King of Zhao in the world, but with a little money and a few beauties, they turned against them and said good things for the Chu State, such people didn't even care about the fundamental principles.

If the state of Chu is defeated, they are still useful to the state of Chu, and they will continue to bribe them with money, if the state of Chu can win, they will be the secretary of the state of Chu.

They can all fall well on the left and right, and they will only watch the war between Chu and Zhao on the sidelines.

"What should we do with the king?"

Zhou Zhou turned around leisurely and said unhurriedly: "Even if there is no answer, can't I open the city gate of Handan with hundreds of thousands of male divisions in my Chu State?" Although Handan is stronger than ordinary cities, it does not have the advantage of topography like Yi'an. With the siege weapons of the Chu State, Handan will definitely be able to make a gap. ”

Since he has arrived in Handan, he will definitely make Handan his bag.

"It's finally time to do a big job." The generals were very excited.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's up to you whether you can take Handan City or not." Weekends solemnly authentic.

"The king, if you can't take Handan City, the last general is willing to come to see you."

"The last general is also willing to make a military order."

Take Handan, and Zhao will be Chu's. The state of Chu is one step closer to dominating the Central Plains.

Cheng Jia and Qin Qian were also very happy. There is finally hope for the king's heirs.

The weekend hand pressed. "Okay, with your words, I can rest assured."

After three days of marching, the army finally reached the outside of Handan.

Sun Ping immediately came to meet him.

"The last will see the king."

"Sun Ping, what's going on in Handan City?" Sun Ping was ordered by him to surround but not fight. But King Zhao couldn't just be caught with his hands tied.

"Five days ago, a small group of men tried to break out to the southwest, and the general beat them back."

Weekend sneered. "Looks like you're trying to move the rescuers." He has already cut off Zhao Jun's waist, who can save King Zhao? In this situation, even if Li Dare is resurrected, it is useless.

"Are there any other anomalies?"

"A few nights ago, there seemed to be a fire in Handan City."

The army besieged the city, and King Zhao had nothing to do but light the fire.

"You have besieged the city for so many days, and the price of grain in Handan City must have skyrocketed." As soon as the food rises, the people will suffer first, they will starve to death, there will definitely be chaos, there may be smashing, looting and burning, and there will be more thieves than in the peaceful years.

After such a long time, both the people's hearts and the food in Handan City have been almost consumed.

"Sun Ping, I must be suffocated if I let you besiege you without attacking you." None of these generals of the Chu State are of a bad breed, and even if they die, they want to fight well.

"The king is here, don't you have to endure it anymore?"

Weekend nodded.

Sun Ping was ecstatic. "King, can you let the last general lead the troops?"

In the past few days of besieging Handan City, Zhao Jun has been abusing on the city wall, and the words of the scolding are really unbearable, and the soldiers can't wait, and want to have a good fight with Zhao Jun, so that they can know who is the grandson's coward.

"Why?" Other generals did not follow.

"King, let's fight, we have experience in fighting the party county."

The generals scrambled to take the lead.

The weekend hand pressed. "Let's let Sun Ping take the lead." Sun Ping and his soldiers endured it for so long, and they held back a fire in their hearts, which just let them vent on Zhao Guo's head.

"King Xie." Sun Ping looked happy.

The other generals were a little unconvinced, blowing their beards and glaring.

Laughing helplessly on weekends, these generals are sometimes like children.

He did not let Sun Ping immediately attack the city, but endured it for another two days, put pressure on Zhao Jun, and burned the fire in the hearts of Sun Ping and his subordinates.
