Zhao Guo, Handan.

King Zhao, who had been tested by the "wine", had a sad face, and the Qin army came too suddenly, as if he had inserted wings, and suddenly appeared in the hinterland of Zhao State. Jinyang's grain storage is less than a month's use, if a month can't solve this Qin army and open up the grain road, the Lian Po army will be defeated without a fight. The consequences are unimaginable.

Looking at Lin Xiangru and Zhao Sheng, who came in a hurry, King Zhao was not polite, and directly exempted them from saluting, and said hurriedly: "The 30,000 Qin army raided Yanhe and cut off the Jinyang grain road, what strategy do you Aiqing have to teach the widow?" ”

After speaking, King Zhao looked expectantly at the most relied on prime minister, Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains. Because of the long-term confrontation between the Qin and Zhao armies, the court and the central government could not do without the prime minister, so the king of Zhao removed Zhao Sheng from the post of deputy general, and replaced Pingyang Jun Zhao Bao as the deputy general, and fought against the Qin army together with Lian Po.

Zhao Sheng was stunned when he heard the news, this news was too amazing. But in any case, it has become a fact that the Qin army cut off the grain route of the Zhao army, and the grain route must be opened as soon as possible, otherwise once the front-line army mutinies, the Zhao State is even in danger of extinction.

Thinking of this, Zhao Sheng immediately said: "Your Majesty, the Qin army has 30,000 people, in order to win, my Great Zhao must immediately dispatch an army of more than 50,000 to inflict heavy damage or even completely destroy the Qin army, and then open up the grain route." The current plan is to notify South Korea and ask its party defenders to block the Qin army's southward escape and return; The second is to gather the army and prepare the next batch of grain and grass at the same time. In this way, it can be ensured that the Jinyang army will not run out of food. ”

King Zhao nodded yes, Yanhe is less than three hundred miles away from Handan, and the Qin army can reach it in three or four days and nights. Even if the Qin army is cowering and not out, in order to ensure the safety of the national capital. King Zhao must also resolutely eliminate this Qin army.

"Lin Shangqing, how much grain is stored in the treasury?" King Zhao turned around and asked Lin Xiangru.

At present, the Qin army is raging in the south of Yanhe. The grain hoarding place from Jinyang has become Handan. King Zhao had to know how much grain was left in the treasury to be allocated.

Lin Xiangru replied at the first time: "There are still 300,000 stones, which is enough for the needs of the Jinyang army in March." ”

"Good! Then give the command of the widow. Immediately prepare 100,000 stone of grain and grass. When the army opens up the grain route, it must be transported to the Jinyang front line within ten days. King Zhao said in an unquestioning tone.

Lin Xiangru thought about what King Zhao said in his heart. To do this, the grain and grass must first be transported to Niexian, so that it can run through the starry night and reach Jinyang within ten days. Nexian is safe for now, and the baggage team is following the advance of the army, and it should be fine.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiangru said unequivocally: "Don't worry, the king can definitely do it." ”

"Good!" King Zhao's heart was settled. Then he asked: "The elimination of the 30,000 Qin army is a matter of great importance, what is the opinion of the two Aiqing on the selection of the main general?" ”

Now Lian Po led the army to confront the Qin army Bai Qi, and he could not act rashly, and almost all of the generals of Zhao were on the front line of Jinyang, and although Handan had soldiers and horses, there were no good generals.

Lin Xiangru glanced at Zhao Sheng, who bowed his head and pondered, and plucked up the courage to say: "The minister recommends Jia Yan as a general." ”

"Jia Yan?" King Zhao muttered this name, looking unhappy.

Before this year, Jia Yan was the second only general of Zhao State after Lian Po. But with his defeat in Huayang, he lost his teacher and humiliated the country. has been demoted to a concubine by King Zhao. How could Lin Xiangru suddenly mention this name that was about to be forgotten by himself. King Zhao stared at Lin Xiangru closely, hoping that he would give him an explanation.

After saying this, Lin Xiangru, who was originally a little nervous, became calm. Knowing King Zhao's temperament, he explained: "Your Majesty, Jia Yan has been reflecting behind closed doors since the defeat of Huayang. In March, he did not leave the house for half a step, and wrote a 10,000-word book, bluntly expressing his remorse and sincerity in his loyalty to the king again. ”

King Zhao bowed his head and was silent. Lin Xiangru knew that if King Zhao had no intention in his heart, he would have interrupted him a long time ago. Then he continued, "But on this alone he is not worthy of the king." It is worthy of Da Zhao's understanding. Therefore, even if the minister read his book of ten thousand words, his heart was greatly moved, but he was only lamenting his misfortune and angry at his big mistake. However, later, when the minister heard that he had scattered all his family wealth, he donated it to the treasury, and when the Qin State came to attack, he sent his only son to the Taiyuan battlefield to serve my Great Zhao. If it weren't for the king's order forbidding him to intervene in the military, he would definitely be a pawn and be ashamed of his blood. ”

King Zhao's expression changed, and a soft color appeared on his face. O loyal servants! can scatter all the wealth and donate it to the treasury, and can send the only beloved son to the battlefield to contribute to the country, such a person is not a loyal minister, but still a loyal minister.

"Where is Jia Yan now?" King Zhao suppressed the emotion in his heart and said calmly.

Lin Xiangru knew that it was done as soon as he heard it, so he replied respectfully: "Because Jia Yan has already scattered all his wealth, and there are only five acres of fertile land left to cultivate, I think he should be a thatched hut outside the city now!" ”

Since King Zhao had already decided that Jia Yan was a loyal minister, he forgave him for his mistakes, so he hurriedly said: "Xuan! Hurry up! ”

Zhao Sheng only reacted at this time, Lin Xiangru actually took advantage of King Zhao's benevolence and tolerance for loyal ministers to pull up the originally declining Jia Yan. It's not easy, it's not easy!

As if he had a heart in his heart, Lin Xiangru's gaze met Zhao Sheng's approving eyes. Both sides laughed at the same time, all without saying a word.

For Lin Xiangru, if he wants to keep his glory and wealth, he must be favored. It is a pity that the nobles of Zhao and the officials from the civilian class have always been at odds. No matter how high the commoner talent is, he can only be in a high position, and as for the feudal monarch and marquis, it is just a sweet dream. Lian Po is an exception, but even if he made such a great contribution, it was only at the insistence of King Zhao that he was crowned king.

Whether it is for himself or for the sake of Zhao State, Lin Xiangru must unite the high-level people from civilian backgrounds, and let the nobles of Zhao State know that if they stick to the rules and do not give the civilian class a certain hope, Zhao State will not be able to become truly strong.

Jia Yan is a representative of the civilian class, maybe he is a little greedy for life and afraid of death, but he has real talent. Lian Po and Lin Xiangru chatted, and Jia Yan lost a little unjustly in the battle of Huayang. If it was a dignified battle, even if he was alone against a Qin army twice his size, Jia Yan would not be defeated so quickly. Lian Po thought about loving talents and hoped that Lin Xiangru would intercede for Jia Yan. Strive to be re-hired by King Zhao.

Lin Xiangru is also unwilling to let the military power fall into the hands of Zhao Zonggui, and now Handan has no famous general. Just recommend Jia Yan, why not.

It didn't take long. Jia Yan, who was dressed in sackcloth, was led into the main hall by the chamberlain.

"Grass people Jia Yan, knock to the king." Jia Yan knelt down and bowed.

King Zhao glanced at the neatly dressed Jia Yan and found that he had no sense of decadence and depression, on the contrary, he was content, although his body was thin, his eyes were bright and shining.

King Zhao nodded secretly and said, "Jia Yan, do you know the news that the Qin State has invaded my Yanmen and Taiyuan counties?" ”

"Return to the king. The villain is known. But from the villain's point of view, although the expedition of the Qin State Labor Division has gained something, it will eventually be recaptured for my Da Zhao. Now that Han, Zhao, Wei, and Yan have formed an alliance, Qi and Chu are attacking each other, and Qin has no reinforcements, and it will be defeated in less than three months. ”

King Zhao nodded secretly, Yan Guo had already sent a message. At most, a month will send 100,000 troops to aid Taiyuan. At that time, the Qin army will be at an absolute disadvantage, and they will not retreat. But it's a pity! The Qin army has now cut off the grain route of the Jinyang army, and it is the Sanjin that is at a disadvantage.

Come to think of it. King Zhao sighed and said, "But now, the Qin army has suddenly divided into 30,000 troops to attack the important towns and cut off the food routes of the front-line army. What can I do about it? ”

Jia Yan was shocked, first, he was surprised how Qin Jun was unaware. Bypass the layers of defense lines of the Zhao State and arrive at the heart of the heart. The second is to be surprised that the grain route has been cut off, and the Lian Po army on the front line will not be able to hold on, and the current shape will turn sharply, which is not conducive to the Zhao State.

Jia Yan's look of surprise was only a flash, and he immediately calmed down, King Zhao must have called himself over to reactivate himself, but only if his answer was satisfactory to him. So Jia Yan immediately made a decision: "We must annihilate the Qin army located in Yanhe at any cost." ”

"What is the best way to break the road danger with the mountain?" King Zhao began to take the school entrance examination to start Jia Yan.

"Garrison the city, do not fight against it." Jia Yan's answer was also crisp and neat.

"What?!" King Zhao was completely confused.

Jia Yan said confidently: "The Qin army is condescending, if our army feints, the casualties will inevitably be great. The villain is even more worried that even if he pays more than half of the casualties, he will be unbreakable. The reason why the Qin army traveled thousands of miles to attack the people was because of my great Zhao grain. Now that the grain road has been cut off, the grain and grass have been destroyed, and most of the Qin army's strategy has been successful, the next step is to use the grain and grass as a base to prevent Handan grain and grass from continuing to be transported to Jinyang. ”

King Zhao nodded, but he still didn't understand.

"From the villain's point of view, my big Zhao soldiers and those who do it are just restoring the grain road. Since it is for the safety of grain and grass, why not station troops in the city and prevent the Qin army from going out of the city to attack and disturb the baggage team. If the Qin army dares to give up its geographical advantages and go out of the city to fight our army, it is exactly what he wants; If the Qin army can't hold out, our army only needs to wait for work, wait for the front-line army to have enough food and grass, and then it is not too late to deal with the Qin army. ”

Jia Yan said in a word, the reason why King Zhao wanted to take down Kuài at any cost was that on the one hand, as the king, he did not allow an enemy army to show off his might in his own land, and on the other hand, he was worried that the Qin army would go out of the city from time to time to attack and disturb the baggage team.

Jia Yan proposed to be calm and calm, take interests as the starting point, and make every effort to ensure the safety of the grain road. A small group of Qin troops posed no threat to the baggage team, and the dispatch of a large group of Qin troops would attract the attention of the Zhao army under the city, and the Zhao army, which had a numerical advantage, would engage the Qin army on flat ground, and the victory rate would increase greatly.

Seeing that King Zhao was a little moved, Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, interjected at this time and said: "If the Qin army is desperate, and when our army arrives, it will fight a decisive battle with our army, and the victory and defeat cannot be divided for a while, what can I do?" ”

Jia Yan immediately heard what Zhao Sheng meant, the battle between the two armies will inevitably affect the safety of the grain road, if there is a stalemate for more than 20 days, by the time Handan's grain and grass are delivered, the army on the front line will already run out of food.

Jia Yan replied with a confident face: "So the villain built a yì, first borrowed grain from South Korea, and the Han Shangdang transported 100,000 stone grain and grass to Jinyang, and my Da Zhao only needed to contain 30,000 Qin troops." (To be continued......)
