Chapter 211: Into Handan

Who knew that the carriage had traveled all the way, and just twenty kilometers away from Handan City, a large number of troops suddenly appeared on the hillside in front of them. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

The coachman hurriedly tightened the reins and waited, Thirteen also nervously held the dagger tightly in his hand, and Jiang Jianghao swooped down his shoulders easily.

"Don't be too nervous, old acquaintances!"

As soon as the words fell, a familiar greeting came from outside the car door: "Yo~ Boss Jiang hasn't seen you for a long time~!" ”

This ruffian voice, who else can there be if it's not Ziyue?!

The visitor was dressed in a dark green robe, with a gold crown on his head, a fan painted with spring colors in his hand, and a signature smile on his mouth, but the smile in his eyes was also real.

"Yo~Ziyue~!"

Jiang Jianghao waved his hand casually, but unexpectedly was scolded loudly by the guards who followed Ziyue.

"Bold! How can my family Ziyue-sama be able to shout so casually?! ”

With an angry reprimand, Jiang Jianghao didn't hear it, but he still couldn't stop thinking in private, what does this Ziyue mean?! Want to give him a dismount and remind him whose territory is here? Smart as Ziyue, shouldn't you be so idiotic?!

Sure enough, the next moment, I heard Ziyue's angry reprimand: "Bastard! There's no place for you to speak! ”

Then, Gongziyue ran to Jiang Jianghao's car, jumped into the carriage with a 'tom', and shouted directly at Chedu: "Go!" ”

The carriage gradually drove away under the extremely surprised eyes of everyone, and everyone was also dumbfounded at Ziyue's abnormality, you must know that Ziyue was a decisive and unsmiling person in the eyes of Zhao Guo, how could he see a restaurant owner today, and he was so courteous? !

I still remember a while ago, someone occasionally talked about Gongziyue in the restaurant in the market, and there was no honorific in the title of Gongziyue, and in the end Gongziyue cut off his tongue, and now what is the name of the hotel owner? ! Yo ~ Ziyue ?!! is so frivolous, so rude, and Gongzi Yue actually reprimanded him for teaching him a lesson, this Gongzi Yue is too abnormal today, could it be because this person is from the Qin State?!

Everyone blamed Gongziyue's abnormality on Qin Guo and Yingzheng, but what everyone didn't know was that when the carriage had just taken a few steps, Ziyue hugged Jiang Jianghao's thigh with an aggrieved expression, and his expression was unprecedentedly pitiful.

"Boss Jiang! Brother Jiang! Uncle Jiang! You're finally here, do you know what I've been eating for so long?! It's meat every day! Meat! Meat! I can't help but want to vomit when I see meat now! ”

Jiang Jianghao raised his eyebrows, squinted at Gongzi Yue, who kept chattering, and had to ask with a smile: "Isn't there a sea and sky feast in Handan?!" Why don't you go to Haitian for a feast?! I heard that the recipe, raw materials, and ingredients of this Haitian feast are all aligned according to the standards of the Luoyi City head office, what? Haitian Feast can't satisfy you now?! ”

Gongzi Yue still had a pitiful expression, and the chick nodded like a peck of rice: "Yes! No matter how delicious the things at the Haitian feast are, I always eat so many things over and over again, and I'm sick from eating it early, okay?! ”

After Gongziyue finished speaking, he saw Thirteen who was closing his eyes behind Jiang Jianghao, and then raised his hand to say hello to Thirteen: "Yo~!" A baker's dozen! ”

Thirteen opened his eyes, glanced at Gongzi Yue coldly, and then continued to close his eyes to recuperate.

Seeing that Thirteen was so cold, Gongzi Yue only pursed his lips and shrugged his shoulders, and then continued to turn his head to look at Jiang Jianghao and said, "Uncle Jiang, I heard that you took the goods from Remnant Yang?!" ”

“。。。。。。” Jiang Jiang Haoshuai gave Ziyue a pair of big white eyes, and Thirteen also opened his eyes and glanced at Gongzi Yue, this guy's mouth is still so unpleasant.

Along the way, Jiang Jianghao chatted with Gongziyue without a word, and the main chat content was what Jiang Jianghao was going to eat this time, and what he was going to eat.

Gongziyue decided that during Jiang Jianghao's visit to Handan, he must keep an eye on Jiang Jianghao, because Jiang Jianghao is definitely not used to eating the food here, since he is not used to eating, he will definitely do it himself, once he does it, he doesn't care about being one more person, he is now thinking about how to entangle Jiang Jianghao and how to extend Jiang Jianghao's stay in Handan.

The carriage swayed for more than an hour, and Handan City appeared in front of Jiang Jianghao, looking at the majestic Handan City, Jiang Jianghao sighed in his heart.

In the first month of the 49th year of Qin Zhao, the general Wang Yi led 100,000 troops and a large number of soldiers to Handan. The five doctors and Wang Ling immediately adjusted their forces to prepare to launch the third and largest attack on Handan. It is believed that Wang Ling already knew about the dissatisfaction of the King of Qin and the precursor of replacing him with Wang Ling, so it is certain that the third attack of Wang Ling's army was quite fierce.

The fighting broke out in the first month of the year, and it was still a cold winter in the north. At this time, Handan had been besieged for nearly four months, and the loss of soldiers and food supply in the city had become a crisis, and people's hearts were even more fragile in winter. However, under the leadership of Lian Po and Lecheng, the morale of the Zhao army was still high. At the same time, the morale of the Qin army also began to be high after receiving reinforcements. After more than a month of fighting, Zhao soldiers desperately resisted the Qin army's attack and won the victory. The Qin army suffered heavy casualties, and the soldiers were resentful. The king of Qin was not good at fighting with the tomb, and he was exempted, and the king was the commodore general. After that, Wang Yi led the army to attack Handan for nearly five months, but still did not capture it.

In October, after the king of Qin killed Bai Qi, he ordered Zheng Anping to lead an army of 50,000 to support Wang Qi. At this time, Handan City was in the most critical time, the grain and grass had long been cut off, and everyone was "using bones for cooking" and "eating from children", and Zhao Jun still resisted unyieldingly. At the same time, the diplomatic war of Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, began to work, and by the beginning of December, the Wei army of 80,000 and the Chu army of 100,000 had rushed to the outskirts of Handan, and the Qin state also continued to increase the number of troops in Fencheng (the land east of the river) as a support, and a major war between the two sides was about to break out. In December of the same year, Xin Lingjun commanded the Wei-Chu coalition army and launched a powerful offensive against the Qin army, the Wei army attacked in the west, the Chu army attacked in the east, and the Zhao army should be in the interior, and the Qin army was attacked on three sides and the whole line collapsed.

Wang Yi led the main force of the Qin army to retreat hundreds of miles to the west, and only took a breather when he entered Fencheng. The Qin army of Zheng Anping, which was stationed south of Handan, had about 20,000 men and was besieged by the Zhao army. Zheng Anping's troops were far away from the main force, the grain and grass were cut off, and there was no hope of breaking through, so the whole army had to surrender to Zhao. The Three Kingdoms Alliance took advantage of the victory to attack Fencheng, and the Qin army was defeated and forced to retreat to Hexi, where they confronted each other. The coalition forces took advantage of the situation to recover the land of 600 miles east of the river, and its power was greatly shaken.

After the defeat of the Battle of Changping, the Zhao army lost nearly 400,000 soldiers. After that, the troops that Zhao could fight can be divided into these parts: the defenders of Daijun defended against the Xiongnu and Yan, the standing army of about 50,000 people can be expanded to 100,000 in wartime, and the Jinyang garrison (the old capital of Zhao State) is the right wing of Zhao, which is the springboard for attacking Qin's flank and the gateway to the north of Zhao, with a standing army of about 70,000 people. The left flank of the Zhongmu garrison (including Tunliu) Zhao Zhi resisted the outpost of the Qin army and the fortress of the Wei state, with a standing army of 30,000 people. The center of gravity of the defense of the Zhao State of Handan defenders, because Handan is often in the midst of war, it is divided into Wu'an defenders and Wucheng defenders, and on the whole, the standing army in Handan is about 100,000 people.

Due to its important strategic position, Handan has become one of the most frequently fought cities and one of the cities with the most complete military defense. In the Battle of Handan, Zhao was almost in danger, but under the command of Zhao's outstanding generals, the stubborn resistance of Zhao's soldiers, and the sacrifice and support of Zhao's people, they were all resolved one by one. It can be seen that Zhao Guo's unique temperament, which is different from the Six Kingdoms, is more tragic and strong, strong and unyielding, and united.

Qin directly and indirectly mobilized about 500,000 troops against Zhao, of which 250,000 troops fought against Handan, plus nearly 300,000 baggage troops. As mentioned earlier, Zhao's military strength and national strength were not as good as before after the Battle of Changping, and the troops that could fight in the Handan area were only 100,000. And under the continuous siege and attack of the Qin army, it is really amazing to be able to keep the capital unbroken.

The battle of Handan is more said to be the victory of the Zhao army than the victory of the Zhao people, the people of Zhao are mainly the people of Handan, and the price paid by the people of Zhao to defend Handan is heavy, and "Zhao died hundreds of thousands, and Handan was only spared by the city" is so tragic. Just imagine how spectacular it was before the war when the army, grain and grass from all over the Zhao State continued to gather in Handan, and the people of the Zhao State worked together to repair the city day and night and sharpen the blades.

This shows how important it is for a country, a nation, and an army to have a generous and sad temperament, a tradition of martial spirit, and a spirit of unity of heart.

The horse-drawn carriage drove into Handan City, and the city was lined with shops, and goods from all over the world gathered here. There are shops, mansions, restaurants, quality warehouses, and various handicraft workshops everywhere.

The sound of hawking along the street is also one after another, so lively!

"Boss Jiang, how about coming with me to my mansion now?!" Gongziyue's face was full of enthusiasm, he really wanted Jiang Jianghao to taste what he was eating these days, but Jiang Jianghao seemed to have guessed it a long time ago, and shook his head lightly and said: "Forget it, I'll go to the Haitian feast!" ”

"Huh? Haitian feast?! What are you doing there?! ”

Gongzi Yue was stunned, although this Haitian feast is in the name of Jiang Jianghao, it is actually an intelligence system in charge of Ying Zheng, what is this Jiang Jianghao going there for? !

Jiang Jianghao looked at Gongzi Yue as if he was an idiot, and said very helplessly: "Lord Ziyue!" You've had too many good days, and the oil and water are blocking your brain, right?! Although the Haitian Feast is not my decision, but the people of the entire Seven Kingdoms know that this Haitian Feast is my Jiang Jianghao's industry, and I myself have arrived in Handan with great fanfare, if I don't live in my own territory, wouldn't it be too weird?! ”

Since Jiang Jianghao would say this, he also knew that Ying Zheng must have informed the news early in the morning, and on the surface, he always had to go through the motions, otherwise it would inevitably arouse suspicion, wouldn't it? !

The carriage staggered to a two-story building with an all-wooden structure, and when Jiang Jianghao just stepped out of the carriage and stood at the gate of the Haitian Feast, he even thought that the system had copied the Haitian Feast in Luoyi City as it was.

In addition to the fact that the people who come and go inside are a little familiar, as far as the Haitian Feast itself is concerned, in addition to the structure, appearance, and even the ink dots on the signboard in the details are exactly the same, Jiang Jianghao couldn't help but give Yingzheng a big thumbs up in his heart, this ability to do things is so first-class, it really deserves to be the first emperor of the ages? !
