Two days later, the Korean army besieged the city. At the same time, the Qin army unexpectedly discovered that after a stormy three-day offensive by the Zhao army, the Zhao army actually retreated.

The Zhao army retreated in the second half of the night, due to the cover of the night, and when the Qin army found out, the huge Zhao army camp was already empty except for a few broken soldiers.

Yang Duanhe, who led the army, was afraid that this was a trap set by the Zhao army, after all, although the Zhao army's losses in these days exceeded 15,000 people, the Qin army was not comfortable. In the face of the old and spicy Zhao army, the Qin army relied on the strong camp to use its edge, once in the field, there were fewer victories and more defeats!

Therefore, out of cautious instinct, after discovering that the Zhao army had withdrawn, Yang Duanhe did not command the army to rush up and pursue the victory, but only sent scouts to find out whether the Zhao army had really retreated. It wasn't until the scouts confirmed that the main force of the Zhao army had retreated fifty miles north that they sent someone to inform the restless Qin monarchs and ministers in Jinyang City of this shocking news.

At this time, Yang Duanhe could already determine that Zhao Jun should not come to Jinyang City again. On the premise of having an absolute advantage, Lian Po will not withdraw for no reason. The only explanation is that South Korea has used a large army to attack Zhao. Either they went north from Shangdang and cut off the grain route of the Zhao army; Either attack Handan, so that Zhao has no intention of making it difficult for Qin again.

When the monarchs and ministers of the Qin State heard the news, they only felt a long sigh of relief from head to toe. The silence of the Zhao army, which once wandered on the Fenshui River and made it difficult for the Qin State to sleep and eat, seemed to confirm the news - South Korea sent troops, and Zhao Guo couldn't resist it!

However, the monarchs and ministers of the Qin State did not expect that the Zhao State of Zhao, who had been stabbed in the back by South Korea, would send an envoy to Jinyang so quickly. In the eyes of the monarchs and ministers of the Qin State, Zhao Guo's attack on Qin was wrong, but he can also understand it. After all, this is an era of the jungle. Who calls themselves the weakest?! But Zhao sent envoys so quickly, he couldn't help but look up to their face too much! Could it be that he ignores current affairs and turns around and strikes a counterattack against South Korea?! Or will he negotiate peace with Zhao Guo, instead of taking advantage of the time when Zhao Guo and South Korea are fighting for their own benefit?! Apparently not!

Qin Guo's favorite thing to do is to fall into the ground, especially when he knows that Zhao Guo is good and South Korea is good. If you don't have a good heart for yourself, it's better to reap the benefits of a fisherman!

The envoy of Zhao is an unknown person, which is also understandable. After all, to be able to rush to Jinyang City in just ten days, it takes not only excellent perseverance, but also excellent physical fitness! For Zhao Guo, who was racing against time, it took too much time to send an important minister like Pingyuan Jun! After all, as a high-ranking person, most of them can't stand the hardships of a long journey. At such times, there is a strong one. Anyone who can clearly explain Zhao Guo's thoughts to the monarchs and ministers of Qin State is enough! And Zhao Li, the envoy of Zhao State, was entrusted with an important task, not only because he was skillful in bowing and horses, young and strong, but also because he was quick and quick-witted, and he was born in a royal family, although he was a concubine.

The monarchs and ministers of the Qin State were naturally willing to meet Zhao Li, and in Zhao Guo, the Qin State suffered too many losses. This time the shape shì reversed. Although he can't humiliate King Zhao, or leave Lian Po's army. But it's also good to be able to humiliate the envoy of Zhao State! After all, the monarchs and ministers of the Qin State had already guessed that most of the other party was here to seek peace. It is also a very fulfilling thing to let the relatively weak party tremble and wait pitifully for their decision!

Facing the sword and axe set by the Qin State, Zhao Li seemed calm and entered the main hall. Zhao Li only bowed slightly to King Qin, looked around at the ministers in the main hall, and sighed silently.

King Qin was slightly annoyed, and in the face of Korea's strong attack, it was Zhao who was obviously terrified and unable to protect himself. The envoy of Zhao looked at him with a disappointed expression, as if he was the most pitiful one! Therefore, King Qin sneered unceremoniously: "Sir, are you lamenting the death of the Zhao Kingdom?" ”

There is no doubt that although the current shape of the Zhao State can be called trembling, like facing the abyss, walking on thin ice, but with the thick heritage of the Zhao State, it is nothing more than letting Korea seize hundreds of miles of land, no matter how bad it is, losing Handan, moving the capital to the north, and wanting to perish, it is extremely difficult. After all, South Korea was not ready to exterminate Zhao, the world's second largest country. South Korea will not fight for a Qin State and Zhao State, for South Korea, weakening Zhao State and letting Zhao State and Qin State compete with each other is the royal way. When King Qin said this, he purely wanted to see Zhao Envoy's joke.

The ministers in the main hall burst into laughter, and Zhao Li's figure quickly calmed down after a slight shake in the laughter, nodded, and shook his head again, as if he was very disdainful of the ridicule of the monarchs and ministers of the Qin State.

When the hall quieted down, Zhao Li sighed and said, "The minister is not only worried about the danger of Zhao, but also worried about the danger of Qin Guo's demise!" ”

"What nonsense, sir! Now that South Korea is attacking Zhao, it is Zhao that is in danger! The widowed Qin State has always been friendly with South Korea, where is the danger said?! If Lian Po's army is still under Jinyang City, there is some truth in Mr.'s words! But now, Zhao Guo is difficult to protect itself, so there is still no need to worry about the widowed Qin State! King Qin sneered.

Up to now, King Qin still didn't know how many troops South Korea had sent to make Lian Po so panicked, and he didn't know the specific direction of South Korea's use of troops, so he could only take the opportunity to make Zhao Envoy's words.

Zhao Li was not annoyed, but said in a tone of regret: "The 200,000 troops of South Korea are deep in the heart of Zhao State, and it is only dozens of miles away from Handan!" As the king said, Zhao Guo is in danger! If there were no reinforcements, Handan would probably not be spared! But once the Zhao State is destroyed, what good will the Qin State have?! The state of Qin will be completely besieged by Korea, and it is self-defeating to invade Korea to expand its territory. If you don't destroy South Korea, you will just be eaten away by South Korea little by little! Therefore, the minister thought that if the Zhao State was preserved, the Qin State would be able to have one more reinforcement! ”

The ministers of the Qin State in the main hall heard that South Korea had sent 200,000 troops to attack Handan, and even attacked a place only a few dozen miles away from Handan, and they could not hide their surprise! Other than that, there are emotions such as excitement and apprehension. It's true that South Korea is strong, but it shouldn't be strong enough to come to the city of Handan so quickly, right?! After all, Zhao Guo is not weak! Separated by three big rivers and two hundred miles of land, it can't delay the speed of the Korean army's advance at all?! If Zhao is replaced by Qin, the situation of Qin may be even worse, perhaps, the Han army has already broken through Jinyang, right?! At this moment, many ministers' vigilance against South Korea has been raised to the peak! But there are also many ministers who are just rejoicing, and the Han army is holding back Zhao, and the Qin army can take advantage of the situation to cross the Fenshui and seize a large amount of land from Zhao! This means a lot of military merit! How can this not make a minister who is eager to make meritorious contributions not excited?!

King Qin laughed, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world, and pointed directly at Zhao Envoy and said: "Zhao has 300,000 troops, and the grain and grass are incalculable. The gentleman laughed! Where is the country of Zhao in danger of dying?! On the contrary, it was the widowed Qin State, and the Zhao State went on an expedition, which caused a lot of casualties among my Great Qin people! How can the widow believe that if the Zhao State survives this crisis, it will not attack the widowed Qin State again?! ”

King Qin's immediate intention was to reject Zhao's vague request for help. For the Qin State, neither Korea nor the Zhao State is easy to provoke. South Korea attacked Zhao in order to rescue Qin, but Zhao said that South Korea was Qin's biggest enemy and he was Qin's friend, how could this win people's trust? !

Zhao Li shook his head slightly and explained: "I'm afraid the king doesn't know, the Yan Kingdom has already sent 80,000 troops to attack our Zhao Kingdom!" Now Han and Yan are one in the south and one in the north, Handan has almost become an enclave, although Zhao has 300,000 elite soldiers, but half of them are on the front line of Fenshui, how can they resist the offensive of Han and Yan? ! ”

King Qin's eyes suddenly narrowed, if this news is true, then although the Zhao State is strong, it will also suffer a big loss this time, and there is even a danger of being jointly divided by Yan and Han! Once this happens, the Qin state will either strike first and seize a large area of Zhao land west of the Taihang Mountain, and fight against Yan and Han; Either show solidarity with Zhao Guo and let Zhao Guo withstand this joint attack of Yan and South Korea!

If it is the former, it is not inappropriate to take advantage of the fire to rob, but the Qin army has to pay a certain price. If it is the latter, the relationship between Qin and South Korea that has been repaired will become fragmented again. What Qin faced next would definitely be the wrath of South Korea. South Korea has millions of soldiers, although the construction of Zheng Guoqu consumed a lot of manpower and material resources in South Korea, but don't forget! As long as there is a need, South Korea can stop the construction of Zhengguo Canal at any time, and even, South Korea does not need to send too many troops, as long as an army of 100,000 people enters Hedong, it is enough to make Qin State sleep.

"Is the news true?" King Qin was worried that Zhao Guo was deceiving himself, after all, the news that Yan Guo had not joined was really far-reaching.

"With his life as a guarantee, the Yan Kingdom is indeed attacking our Zhao Kingdom's Julu County! If it weren't for the fact that Yan Guo borrowed the road from South Korea, let South Korea easily take the plain, and then bypass the river defense line set up by our Zhao State, our Zhao State would not have lost the opportunity to let 200,000 Han soldiers come to Handan City! Zhao Li replied.

This can also be regarded as answering questions for the monarchs and ministers of the Qin State, so that the monarchs and ministers of the Qin State understand why the speed of the Han army's advance is so fast that the Zhao State can't react at all!

"It's a big matter, let the widow think about it carefully! Sir, let's go down and rest first! King Qin's tone softened slightly.

If South Korea just wants to rescue itself, it only needs to deter Zhao on the other side of Zhangshui, and now that the army is under the city of Handan, and then think of Yan Guo's ambiguous attitude, South Korea's real goal is up for debate!

Zhao Li also knew that the king of Qin would analyze the pros and cons with the ministers next, and he was present, and many things were difficult to say, but they would affect the decision-making of the Qin State. Therefore, he could only say goodbye, but before leaving, Zhao Li said: "Yan Guo will attack my giant deer, Zhao Guo will inevitably not support, with Yan Guo's personality, it will inevitably add troops to plot on behalf of the county and even Yanmen and Yunzhong." Today, the soldiers of Yan Kingdom are twice as good as Qin, and the distance between them and Daijun, Yanmen, and Yunzhong is close to Qin. (To be continued......)
