Chapter 34: Horse Racing in the City (I)
Handan, King Zhao's Palace.
King Zhao Xiaocheng's face was pale, his face was distorted, and he was roaring: "Qin Yiren, you white-eyed wolf who can't be raised, you don't treat you like a widow, and you actually leave the widow." ”
Xinlingjun, Pingyuanjun, Lu Zhonglian, and the ministers pursed their lips tightly, and they didn't dare to come out.
Since getting the news that Qin Yiren had left Handan, King Zhao Xiaocheng was furious, roaring loudly, and after several days, he was still angry, scolding Qin Yiren vigorously.
In fact, the ministers knew very well that King Zhao Xiaocheng didn't care much about Qin Yiren, nor did he hate Qin Yiren very much, but took this opportunity to vent his anger. Since the Qin army attacked the city, King Zhao Xiaocheng has been worried and panicked, and his resentment has nowhere to start, so he just took advantage of Qin Yiren's departure from Handan to vent his anger.
"In the Battle of Changping, the 500,000 army of Dazhao was lost, and the widow did not kill you, it is the supreme kindness, you are not grateful, you are a beast." King Zhao Xiaocheng scolded so much that his saliva splashed.
During the Changping War, Zhao put Qin Yiren under house arrest for three years, making things difficult in every possible way, and wanted to kill Qin Yiren. The reason why he didn't kill Qin Yiren was because he was afraid of angering the Qin State, and he left Qin Yiren to leave a way out. At this time, it has become his kindness, the supreme kindness, what kind of truth is this?
"Qin Yiren, you ......" King Zhao Xiaocheng scolded smoothly, and said that all kinds of things that made Qin Yiren difficult were all kinds of grace inflicted on Qin Yiren's body.
Pingyuan Jun secretly rejoiced: "Fortunately, I met with the Inhuman Son early and gave a generous gift, and the Inhuman Son agreed, and said kind words in front of the King of Qin." ”
He didn't know that Qin Yiren saw that he was harboring evil intentions, and he was not trying to help him. Qin Yiren had already made up his mind to say a few kind words first, and then slander him. Want King Qin Zhao to kill him.
Those who came into contact with Qin Yiren. The ministers who had received Qin Yiren's assurance, like Pingyuan Jun, secretly rejoiced that this matter had been done early, and if it was done late, Qin Yiren would leave Handan, and they would have lost their way out.
But they don't know. The reason why Qin Yiren left was because there was no benefit to be fished, and if there was still a benefit, Qin Yiren would still stay in Handan.
Xin Lingjun's mood was extremely complicated, although he went to see Qin Yiren. Qin Yiren also offered him very favorable conditions, he was very moved, but he didn't dare to accept it. He knows it well. After losing Zhu Hai, how long can his life last, he himself doesn't know, and it is likely that he will not live to the day when Handan City is broken.
It was with this in mind that he rejected Qin Yiren's favorable conditions.
Now. Qin Yiren had already left Handan, and he would never have a chance to trade with Qin Yiren again. His retreat was completely broken, and his heart sank.
"Your Excellency. The Qin army stopped attacking. At this moment, a red-clothed swordsman came quickly. Rushed to Zhao Xiaocheng Wang Yu to report.
"Stopped attacking?" King Zhao Xiaocheng's expression was relieved, he shook for a while, and fell to the ground, panting.
This was the best news he had ever received since the Qin army attacked the city, although it was only the Qin army that stopped attacking, not retreated. King Zhao Xiaocheng's hanging heart can finally be let go, although this time will be very short.
"The next offensive of the Qin army will be more fierce, and we must hurry up and prepare for war." Xinling Jun was busy admonishing King Zhao Xiaocheng.
"You're a general, you dispose of it." King Zhao Xiaocheng is like having no soul.
"I ......" At this moment, Xin Lingjun really wanted to stop being a general and hand over the general's seal.

Qin army barracks.
"Dig, dig, dig!"
"Dig now! Dig fast! Take a lot of soil! ”
The soldiers of Qin were in full swing, their morale was high, they were sweating like rain, they were taking soil, and bags of soil were piled up into mountains.
They were ordinary soldiers, and although they did not understand the use of taking soil, the Qin army was well-trained and strictly enforced military orders, and there would never be the slightest doubt. Don't talk about taking soil, even if they are ordered to rush into the sword mountain and sea of fire, they will not frown.
Qin Yiren, Huang Shigong, and Wei Yu, together with Wang Ling, Meng Fu, and Huan Qi, patrolled around to check the progress.
"The morale of the brethren is good! Very good! Wang Ling saw it in his eyes and was very satisfied.
The Qin army was happy when they heard the war, and regarded the war as a pleasure as eating meat and drinking wine, and digging the soil was not the same thing in their eyes at all, and it was impossible for their morale to be low.
"I guess it's enough, Ming'er is enough." Meng Fu frowned and estimated.
"Ming'er has taken enough soil, let the brothers rest well, recuperate, and officially attack the city the day after tomorrow." Wang Ling made a decision.
Qin Yiren looked at the Qin soldiers who were taking soil, shook his head, and sighed secretly: "This farm tool is too poor, it is inefficient, it is imperative to reform the farm tool!" ”
The Qin army used the soil to take the soil, and in the eyes of Qin Yiren, a modern person, this is too backward, and it is so backward that people are speechless.
The plow used in the Warring States period is similar to the modern shovel, with a wooden handle on the top and a slightly curvature "shovel" below.
This kind of plowing is too inefficient and far inferior to a hoe.
If you want to increase grain production, you only need to change the rake to a hoe, which will improve a lot of efficiency.
"If I improve Qin's farming tools, Qin's grain will be more abundant and richer, and the people of Qin will be happier." Qin Yiren secretly decided: "This matter must be done!" ”
If the Qin State wanted to unify the world, it needed a large amount of grain, and it was imperative to reform the agricultural tools.
Not to mention, the grain output has increased, and in addition to being full, it can be used to raise poultry and livestock, and the output of meat can be increased, so that the people of the country can have meat to eat, and they can improve their physical fitness, which is a great cause related to the future of the Chinese nation, and it must be carried out to the end!
As Meng Fu said, the soil was completed the next day.
After the soil was taken, Wang Ling gave an order, the Qin army killed pigs and sheep, had a beautiful full meal, fell asleep, and prepared for a big battle the next day.
At dawn, the Qin army agitated the heavens and the earth in the middle of the war, and the Qin army drove out of the camp and drove to the city of Handan, ready to attack the city.
Qin Yiren rode a horse, took Huang Shigong and Wei Yu, followed Wang Ling's side, went out of the Qin army's camp, and looked at the city, only to see that Zhao Jun was in good spirits and ready to meet the enemy.
Zhao people are unyielding, heroic, brave and good at fighting. Their morale is not bad. However, their weapons and equipment were speechless, most of them had incomplete weapons in their hands, and compared to the Qin army, they were almost like beggars.
"Zhao Ren is really heroic!" Qin Yiren saw it in his eyes and was amazed.
It's already like this, and the Zhao people don't give in. It is still resisting to the end, no matter how much praise is given, it is not too much.
"It's a pity that such a talented Zhao people killed the stupid king of Zhao Xiaocheng, and you don't need it. But he used the useless person of Xinlingjun! "Qin Yiren was slanderous in his heart.
"Childe, follow me to the cloud car." Just when Qin Yiren sighed, Wang Ling rushed at Qin Yiren.
Cloud car. It is the command vehicle of the Qin army, more than ten zhang above the ground, standing tall, in order to see far away, in order to have a full view of the battlefield situation. Wang Ling is taking special care of Qin Yiren. Let him watch the battle more realistically, and deliberately cultivate him.
This kind of good thing. Of course, Qin Yiren would not miss it, and said with a smile: "Then thank you general." But. I think the two of them went up together. He pointed at Huang Shi Gong and Wei Yi.
Both of them were prodigies and famous soldiers. The problem is that Huang Shigong has not yet led troops, and if he is allowed to stand on the cloud car, he will see more clearly and will benefit him a lot.
The same is true of Wei Yi, although he is a rare genius, after all, he is still young and still in the growth stage, so that his horizons are broader, and his achievements will be greater.
"Childe, the cloud car can't carry too many people." Wang Ling smiled and refused.
The load-bearing capacity of the cloud car is limited, and Wang Ling can bring Qin Yiren up, which is already a great kindness.
"Let them help you give orders, you can bring two less heralds." Qin Yiren insisted.
"One is the son of a national captain, and the other is a hidden soldier, so he is too talented." Wang Ling was also moved, looking at the two of them.
Wei Yu is the son of the Wei State Lieutenant, and Huang Shigong is a hidden soldier, and the two must be familiar with the matter of heralds, but both of them are celebrities, and Wang Ling may not be able to invite the two.
"The general is too worried, and the two of us are willing to give the order." Huang Shigong and Wei Yi glanced at each other and reached an agreement.
Of course, they understood Qin Yiren's intentions, and they intended to fulfill them, so that they could have a deeper understanding of the Qin army and prepare for leading troops in the future.
With Qin Yiren's attention to them, as long as Qin Yiren can ascend to the throne of King Qin, the two of them will inevitably be reused, and it is inevitable to lead troops to the battlefield.
"Then there are two Lao!" Wang Ling smiled and came to the cloud car.
Qin Yiren, Yu Yi and Huang Shigong followed on the cloud car. Wei Yi and Huang Shigong took the order flag and held it tightly in their hands.
Qin Junrui pushed the winch, and the cloud car slowly rose, rising higher and higher, and only stopped more than ten zhang from the ground.
Qin Yiren took a look, good guy, the situation in the entire Handan City was in full view, and he could see farther and more carefully than he stood on the roof of Hu Feng's wine shop.
"That's King Zhao's Palace, that's Hu Feng Restaurant, that's my mansion." Qin Yiren looked at the city of Handan, and the familiar buildings were in full view.
Look at the Qin army again, lined up in a neat battle formation, at first glance, it looks like a black sea, with high morale, murderous air and straight up, straight through the nine skies, making people's blood boil.
"Attack!" Wang Ling gave an order.
Brush!
The order flag in Huang Shigong's hand was waved down, crisp and neat, and extremely beautiful.
"Good! Worthy of a soldier! Wang Ling's eyes flashed, and he praised loudly.
He is a big expert, and he can see at a glance that Huang Shigong's warrant flag is very, very good.
"Knock knock!"
Suddenly, an earth-shattering sound sounded, shaking the ground and trembling, and the Qin army attacked again, rushing towards Handan, like a surging tide, unstoppable.
The Qin army rushed to the bottom of the city and began to climb the city, engaging in hand-to-hand combat with the Zhao army. At the same time, the crash began to crash into the city gates, and with each blow, an earth-shattering sound erupted.
The Qin army recuperated for several days, and its morale was high, and although the Zhao army tried its best to resist, it was difficult to push the Qin army off the city. For a time, the two armies of Qin and Zhao repeatedly fought over the city.
At this moment, a group of Qin troops carrying dirt bags rushed out of the Qin army camp and rushed towards the city of Handan. (To be continued.) )
