The light of day is dawning.

When the first rays of morning light shone through the window into an inconspicuous old house in the old city of Xianyang, Lieutenant Yan Le was picking up a roll of bamboo slips and writing carefully on it.

It wasn't until the third pole of the sun that Yan Le began to stretch his waist tiredly, and then stood up with great effort, wiping the scattered ink on the bamboo slips little by little.

"I'm really tired, and I feel like I'm about to collapse after trying my best." It was another sleepless night, in exchange for a thick three-volume military analysis of Zhao Di. Yan Le thought this in his heart as he stretched out his stiff arm and squeaked open the old wooden door.

"Father, Niuniu misses you." A fiery little figure shouted and threw herself into Yan Le's arms, the heavy feeling of solidity made Yan Le's heart melt.

"Is Niuniu disobedient, well, don't run around outside!" Yan Le doted on Yan Niuniu's writhing little body and instructed.

"Niuniu is very well-behaved, don't believe it, father, you ask mother. Those uncles outside are not good, they say bad things about their father, and Niuniu doesn't play with them. Yan Niuniu stared at her slippery black eyes, leaned on Yan Le's cheek and whispered.

"Well, Niuniu is the most obedient, Father is going to Chang'an to see your Uncle Li now, wait for me to come back, and then come to listen to Niuniu's story, okay." Yan Le comforted lovingly, then hurriedly stroked Yan Niuniu's loose black hair, and hurriedly ordered his entourage to put the tidying haode bamboo slips on the carriage.

"Father, Niuniu is obedient, Niuniu is waiting for Father to come back and tell Uncle Li's story." Yan Niuniu's eyes were bright, and she was even more excited when she mentioned Li Yuan's name.

Four years old.

Yan Niuniu at this age is cute, smart and likes to talk, and the accident that happened at the gate of Wugong County last year made Yan Niuniu have a good impression of Li Yuan, who is just a big brother at his age, but has to shout uncle.

Thirty and standing.

Thirty years old is also a man with a heavy burden to shoulder. At the age of protecting the peaceful and happy life of his wife and children, Yan Le, who has gone through a wrong marriage, cherishes the current small family very much.

――。

Changan.

Shenwu Hou, Yangxin Hall.

This separate courtyard, located in the east of the Hou Mansion, is Li Yuan's daily office, which is close to the government affairs hall where the center of the Qin State is located, and if there is any urgent matter, Chen Ping, Guan Yue, Zhao Ben, Li Zheng and others will soon be able to reach Yangxin Hall through the connected Yongdao to ask for instructions.

When Yan Le walked into the hall, it happened that Changshi Chen Ping was also there, and the ups and downs of life. The fickleness is still obvious in Li Yuan, Chen Ping, and Yan Le.

"Wuhou, Sima Dazao just sent a letter yesterday, Pingyang's iron-smelting blast furnace can produce 700 ring knives per month, from October last year to the present, the daily forging volume is also increasing day by day, and when the second blast furnace is completed, the output of Jinyang military can fully meet the needs of 10,000 soldiers."

Chen Ping reported excitedly, from long history to prime minister. Returning from the prime minister to the long history, the most resourceful celebrity in the Qin State does not seem to have been affected.

With Zhang Suniang, a virtuous helper, Chen Ping had already expected the handling of Li Bi's case, and the fermentation of the Li Bi incident also had a certain relationship with his connivance as the prime minister. This time I lost the prime minister. It's nothing, as long as he can learn a lesson in the next government affairs, the position of prime minister will be his Chen Ping sooner or later.

Yan Le gasped and stabilized his mood. stepped forward and said: "Marquis Wu, Changshi, Handan has an emergency military situation to report." Chen Yu and Liu Bang have already written to the counties, ready to raise troops to attack our Great Qin, about the actions of the Zhao army, the intercropping organization stationed in Zhao sent detailed information yesterday, please Wuhou to see. ”

Li Yuan nodded towards Yan Le, in recognition of his professional attitude, Yan Le's ability is not to be questioned, the backbone of Zhao Gao's group, Yan Le is many times stronger than Zhao Cheng and others, it can be said that Yan Le is a good hand at harming people, and he has also achieved remarkable results in doing things.

Taking the bamboo slip handed over by Yan Le, Li Yuan pushed it open and read it carefully, Guo Meng's intelligence work is very meticulous, thanks to the special relationship between Guo Zong's nephew, some of Zhao Jun's actions, as well as the temperament and preferences of the generals in the army, weapons and equipment are all described above, although some of them are superficial, but it can also be seen that Guo Meng is really attentive.

Analyze from the point of view of intelligence.

Chen Yu, who aspires to become a third-party shili, is recruiting heroes and soldiers in Handan, especially after Xiang Yu's Western Chu State reacted indifferently to the invasion of Qin, Chen Yu shouted the slogan of crusading against the tyrannical Qin louder than anyone else.

In terms of soldiers.

After this period of violent recruitment, the number of Zhao troops has expanded to about 150,000, which is also the limit of the soldiers that Zhao can support. Even so, Chen Yu was being scolded by the people of Zhao Di in the applause of the Kanto heroes.

For fame, use the sword.

It is the so-called celebrities who do not produce and talk rhetorically that benefit, and the ordinary civilians who bear the hardships are the ordinary people who diligently dig in the fields every day.

The competition for survival is so bloody and cruel, after unveiling the beautiful and illusory banner of cutting Qin, what I saw was the numb faces of Sergeant Zhao.

Of course, it is impossible for all the 150,000 troops to be dispatched, except for some of the remaining troops and the old and weak, the Zhao army can dispatch about 120,000 troops, of course, if Chen Yu sends troops, he must first deal with the problem of whether his backyard will be attacked by people, after all, with less than 30,000 weak soldiers, it is not easy to defend such a large territory as Zhao State.

Weapons.

The weapons used by the Zhao army can be described as varied, after the first emperor unified the six countries, he collected the weapons of the world, cast twelve bronze people, and sank in the river, most of the weapons used by the Zhao army were captured from the Qin army, especially after the Great War of Thorn Plain, Zhang Er, Chen Yu's Zhao army followed behind the Chu army, and also chased the remnants of Zhang Han all the way, and got a lot of Qin army standard weapons.

After several years of war, these weapons have been continuously lost and repaired, and their practicality has been greatly reduced, in other words, Zhao Jun's weapons urgently need to be replaced, otherwise, these miscellaneous things will all be scrapped after a few more battles, however, Chen Yu and Liu Bang obviously don't think that this matter is important.

What does it matter if the weapon is broken. It's just to snatch haode in the hands of the Qin people, year after year, isn't this how they, the princes' troops who crusade against the Qin State, come over? At the beginning, they only had wooden sticks in their hands, but they were not as good as they are now.

In the final analysis, the 150,000 Zhao army sounds really bluffing, if it was the Zhao army during the Battle of Changping, Li Yuan would really have to think about it, but now, there is no need for this at all.

In terms of weapons, the three soldiers of Daqin Lishan, Fushui, and Pingyang have completed the explosion of Handan in Zhao State, and in terms of the quality of soldiers, the Qin army with cavalry, infantry, crossbow soldiers and mountain troops is also much stronger than the soldiers of the Zhao army who only have a bloody bravery, Li Yuan has to consider not whether he can defeat Chen Yu and Liu Bang, but how to cleanly and quickly solve Chen Yu who is not self-sufficient, and completely end the unbeatable Liu Bangshili.

"Lieutenant Yan, you immediately report to Guo Meng, just say that his intelligence is very timely, I, Li Yuan, appreciate his performance, I hope he can continue to lurk in Handan and make greater contributions to Daqin, at the same time, please take special care of Guo Meng, although intelligence is important, but the safety of people is even more important, please pay attention to safety." Li Yuan thought about it and said solemnly to Yan Le.

Yan Le was fortunate enough to participate in the Qin State's major foreign combat deployment for the first time, and his mood was also excited, he immediately nodded and said: "Wuhou rest assured, Guo Meng is there, I will take care of it personally, and the news of Zhao State will also be delivered as soon as possible, if there is nothing to do, I will go down and arrange it." ”

Yan Le replied, turned around and retreated. This is where Yan Le is very smart, a person's eyesight is very important, at this stage, what Yan Le has to do is to do his own job well, instead of paying attention to things that are not under his control, what Li Yuan and Chen Ping will discuss next is not something he is a newcomer to know.

"Wuhou, Chen Yu, the ghost of the dead, has been agitated by Liu Bang, and he has been very rampant recently, if he doesn't immediately solve the alliance of Chen and Liu, those princes in Kanto will jump out one after another, and my Qin army will continue to fight when the time comes, and it will definitely be tired after a long battle, and then Xiang Yu will take the opportunity to kill the generals, and Daqin will be in danger." Chen Ping said worriedly.

Li Yuan said with a smile: "Chen Yu, just a clown watching from the wall, don't worry, in the battle with Zhao, the focus of our army is not Chen Yu, but Liu Bang." Chen Ping, you go and call Li Zuoche here, during this time he was a guest in your house, I think he was suffocated, this time you tell him that our army is about to march eastward, and he will be the general of the former army. ”

After hearing this, Chen Ping said with a happy face: "Zuo Che is a former general, this is very good, no one is more familiar with the situation of Zhao Di than Zuo Che." ”

After more than two months of preparation, the prelude to the battle between Qin and Zhao finally kicked off.

On the Zhao side, due to the incomplete logistical support of the army, Chen Yu and Liu Bang shouted slogans in the air for dozens of days before they began to conclude an agreement of 80,000 generals, and the remaining troops were still on their way to Handan.

Compared with the slow Zhao army, the Qin army's efficient operation in logistics is eye-catching, only more than ten days, from Hedong County in the south to Yunzhong County in the north, along the graceful mountain of Taihang Mountain, Li Yuan mobilized a total of about 50,000 Qin troops from all departments, divided into north and south roads, and took the lead in launching a surprise attack on the Zhao army that was still in the process of being concluded.
