One hundred and seventy-one times the battlefield of annihilation (17) Zhao resisted

Handan Wangcheng Zhao Wang Palace

When King Zhao heard the news of the loss of the Great Wall in the south, he hurriedly summoned Guo Kai to ask about countermeasures, Guo Kai knew that King Zhao would definitely pursue the sudden loss of the Great Wall, so he had already made up a story that could confuse the past and was very in line with the present.

King Zhao said with an ugly face: "The Great Wall was originally well guarded, but now it is suddenly lost, it must be that Yan Ju is proud to underestimate the enemy's plan to lose the Great Wall of the Qin army, and the widow wants to punish him."

Guo Kai said: "The king is angry, Gu Chen knows, although Yan Ju lost the Great Wall, he saved most of his men and horses when he retreated, and he is now leading this living force in the southeast of Handan to fight against the Qin army.

Who in the whole world can save most of the men and horses when the army is defeated, and just evacuate the battlefield and continue to fight the enemy, I am afraid that only Yan Ju can do it, and the king should be happy to have such a general.

The minister thought that it was better to praise Yan Ju and reward the meritorious people, so that the other soldiers could see that the king did not spare money, and they would all fight to the death with the Qin army and get rewards."

King Zhao thought about it and felt that it was very reasonable, and said: "Okay, the widow will make him the Marquis of Anyuan and add 300 households, and the general of Zhenguo will be promoted to command the three armies, and he will be rewarded with 200 taels of silver."

Then King Zhao said to Guo Kai: "Prime Minister, but now that the Qin army in the south has completely occupied the Great Wall, what should I do if the southern barrier of Handan is lost."

"This is not difficult, we can abandon the surrounding towns to gather soldiers and horses to defend Handan, these towns we will definitely be able to recapture after repelling the Qin army, didn't the king just let Yan Ju command the three armies, but he can be ordered to be the commander of the anti-Qin, Zhao Cong has 50,000 soldiers and horses at the northeast border for him to bring back to attack the Qin army in the north, and he can be named the vanguard of the anti-Qin."

"As soon as the prime minister said this, the widow suddenly felt a lot less worried, and according to the arrangement suggested by the prime minister, the widow immediately ordered someone to contact Zhao Cong."

After that, King Zhao wrote an edict and ordered people to go to Zhao Cong's camp in the starry night.

Zhao Cong almost didn't care about the world and didn't polish his martial arts much, just staying on the border leisurely, obviously still the same old-fashioned son-in-law atmosphere.

The first thing after receiving the edict was to hear that Li Mu was dead and was killed in rebellion, and he was not as surprised as other generals, and he felt that this was expected, Zhao Cong said: "Li Mu, Li Mu, no matter how powerful you were before, but you still died in a daze, so who is Guo Kai, you can't afford to provoke him."

After speaking, Zhao Cong walked out of the big tent of the Chinese army and gathered 50,000 soldiers and horses, and immediately ordered all the soldiers and horses to move to the southwest after the army was assembled.

Soon after, the army arrived at the city of Yi'an, and Zhao Cong ordered the siege of the city.

Wang Jian did not expect that there would be a Zhao army in the rear, so only a few soldiers and horses were left to handle the city, the Zhao army charged down and conquered the Yi'an city gate, Zhao Cong led the cavalry to rush into the city, and after a battle, the Qin army defending the city and the Yi'an defenders were all killed.

After entering the city, Guo Kai was very satisfied with the victory he had achieved for the first time with his troops alone, so he ordered the soldiers of the whole army to drink for five days before making further plans.

Because Yi'an was a place where the Qin army hoarded supplies, most of the grain and grass had been delivered to the army, and only a part of the jade and gold and silver utensils for the army remained.

A soldier handed over the jade artifact he had found to Zhao Cong, who was overjoyed and immediately ordered the whole city to search for valuable artifacts.

In the temporary defense line around Handan, Yan Ju received a good news from Zhao Cong and decided to send troops north to attack the Qin army, looking at the soldiers and horses in his hand, he thought of the soldiers and horses in Liu Xiang's hands, so he sent someone to send his plan and the request for soldiers and horses to Liu Xiang, and saw that he did not reply to the messenger for a long time, and did not come back, so he had to go to Liu Xiang's camp in person.

When he arrived at Liu Xiang's Dazhai gate, no one came out to greet him, so Yan Ju had to walk in the direction of the Chinese army's big tent.

Entering the big tent of the Chinese army, Yan Ju saw Liu Xiang sitting in the middle of the desk, and on both sides sat Jiang Chen, Lu Lian, Ye Zhao, and Han Chao.

There were no other extra blankets and stools in the big tent, and Yan Ju's subordinate Wen Liang couldn't stand it anymore and said sharply: "Didn't you see the general come in, Liu Xiang, as the commander of this army, didn't you get up and salute to greet him, what kind of system did you become, don't you take the general in your eyes."

"General, hmph, the only general in the eyes of this general is General Li Mu, and he Yan Ju is just a fellow party of traitors, and you still treat him as a general."

"You ......".

Before Wen Liang's words could be spoken, he was stopped by Yan Ju, who said: "General Liu, I didn't come for this purpose this time, I am going to lead the army from Handan all the way north to attack the Qin army, but unfortunately there are not enough soldiers and horses, so I asked General Liu to borrow some soldiers and horses, and return them to the general after the battle."

"Don't borrow it, I'm also going to lead the army to attack the Qin army, I still don't think there are enough soldiers and horses, how can I give you any extra money."

"Since the general also plans to send troops to attack the Qin army, why don't you and I join forces to fight together, how about it?"

Liu Xiang, who heard what Yan Ju said, sneered and said: "Forgive me for being cowardly, I really don't dare to cooperate with you, I know how close your relationship with Guo Kai is, Guo Kai killed General Li, you gave the southern city to the Qin army, Guo Kai is a traitor, you are no better, do you still want to speed up the destruction of Zhao State."

After Liu Xiang finished speaking, Lu Lian stood up and said loudly: "Don't get out of here."

Wen Liang unconsciously pulled out his sword in anger when he heard this, and Ye Zhao and Han Chao, who saw that Wen Liang was about to make a move, also stood up, and the two walked forward and pulled out the sword.

Liu Xiang waved his hand to signal the two of them to step back, then walked to Yan Ju's side and said, "If you don't hurry up, I'm really afraid that I will do something impulsive."

Yan Ju sighed when he heard it, and walked out of the Chinese army's tent with Wen Liang, and the two stepped on their horses and went in the direction of their military camp.

On the way, Wen Liang asked Yan Ju, "General, why didn't you say King Zhao's will just now."

"Speaking of King Zhao's will, can Liu Xiang lend us soldiers and horses, forget it, we can only use our own strength to resist Qin alone" After saying that, Yan Ju thought about Liu Xiang's attitude just now, shook his head vigorously and rode forward at a faster speed.

At this moment, Wang Jian had expired the time for the soldiers to give the soldiers a three-day carnival, and after boosting their morale, he ordered the whole army to attack the Zhao army camp on the opposite side without leaving all of them.

Liu Xiang saw that the Qin army was moving over like crazy, and hurriedly ordered all the soldiers to fire back with arrows, but the Qin army's charge was too fierce, and everyone almost put their lives on the line.

Seeing that he was about to be unable to resist, Liu Xiang mobilized troops and horses to defend the gate of the village, and arranged for men and horses to quickly transfer the materials to the first line of defense set up by Li Mu.

"Give me a hard time"

As soon as Liu Xiang stood on the gate of the wall, a few flints flew from the Qin army's array, turning the wall of the gate into a sea of fire......
