Chapter 383: The Back Road
Outside the city of Handan.
The fierce Xuanfeng suppresses Qin Jia.
When the black and dark flag fluttered outside Handan City again, it once again awakened the terrifying memories of war for everyone in Handan City.
That year, the general Wang Tong led an army of 200,000 troops and besieged Handan for several years.
In that war, the once prosperous giant city of Handan became a purgatory on earth. It's just that that time, Handan persevered to the end and won.
And this time, the situation is even more bizarre. Looking out from the head of Handan City, the size of the Qin army was much smaller than the last time. It's just that the Zhao army's 100,000 army can't see a trace of them.
There is a lot of discussion in Handan City, people are impetuous, and they can't figure out the specific situation; The Qin army outside Handan City also had no confidence in their hearts.
Li Xin stood outside the city, at the forefront of the military formation, looking at the magnificent city not far away, feeling in his heart, but also a little overwhelmed.
In the past, the Qin army attacked the city and attacked the wall, and the advantage of the strong crossbow was invincible. But now, they galloped hundreds of miles, interspersed with dozens of miles of defense areas of the Zhao army, lost all the baggage and materials, and now used them all from the Zhao army.
Several major battles were all big victories, and the Zhao army retreated in various places, losing its formation, and did not dare to compete with the Qin army. But then, the Qin army had no way out.
The towering city wall was like a moat, which was insurmountable for the Qin army, which lacked siege equipment.
Li Xin shook his head slightly and waved his hand.
"Retire!"
……….
Handan, Xiangguo Mansion.
"The Qin army came in a hurry, and instead of attacking in a hurry, it retreated. That's not their style! ”
Guo Kai, who was lying on the bed, listened to Guo Qi's report and muttered.
Guo Qi saw Guo Kai's appearance, and waited cautiously beside him, not daring to say a word.
After a long time, Guo Kai straightened up, as if he had an understanding.
"Could it be because the Qin army marched too fast, and the follow-up siege materials were not delivered in time?"
"I think it must be so!"
Guo Kai glanced at Guo Qi, and his fierce gaze made him lower his head again, not daring to say more.
"How's going on over there?"
"General Hu Yu gathered his troops and horses at this time and is stationed in Pingyang."
Guo Kai snorted disdainfully.
"I thought that Hu Yu was also a fierce general, with an army of 100,000, but he let tens of thousands of Qin troops enter the city of Handan, making him so passive."
When he said this, Guo Kai still had anger on his face. Guo Kai has a close relationship with Hu Xu, and he is also promoted as the key to controlling the army.
It's just that with the news of the defeat at the front, the ministers who had long seen Guo Kai's dissatisfaction collectively attacked. And Guo Kai has also been blamed by many King Zhao for this. If it weren't for Queen Zhao saying good things in King Zhao's ear, he estimated that he would not be able to keep this phase.
Therefore, at this critical time, Guo Kai can only call himself sick, hide in his own house, and reduce unnecessary outings.
"That's what Sangkook said." Guo Qi nodded, "If the Qin army really can't maintain the grain route, then we might as well take the initiative and defeat it." In this way, Xiangguo will be able to cheer up and shut up all the ministers who gossip. ”
Guo Kai smiled when he heard this.
"There are still tens of thousands of horses in Handan City, you go or I go!"
Hearing that the voice was wrong, Guo Qi immediately knelt down.
"Xiangguo forgives sins."
Guo Kai shook his head, although there are many people who are attached to him, there are few who are really talented. Guo Kai actually understands that he is not bad, but he can't stand the fact that he is surrounded by this kid in front of him, looking at the wrong momentum, he left his army behind and ran back to Handan.
Defeating the Qin army outside the city is indeed a good way to save the current situation. But now, Guo Kai doesn't want to do this.
First, he was not sure of victory, the battlefield was dangerous, and no one knew what would happen; Second, the situation in the world is becoming more and more incomprehensible, Guo Kai doesn't want to offend Qin Jun to death, and wants to leave a way back for himself.
Because of this, he said that he couldn't get sick and took a great risk just to avoid this turmoil.
"Get out!"
Guo Qi raised his head, a smile on his face.
"Sangkook, not long ago, I met three stunning women......"
Guo Kaiyi frowned and asked.
"Which one?"
Guo Kai thought that Guo Qi wanted him to be a matchmaker, but he didn't expect that Guo Qi had an extremely obscene smile on his face.
"A merchant's concubine......"
Before Guo Qi finished speaking, he was kicked by Guo Kai.
"When, you still want this kind of thing."
Guo Qi was kicked, not only was he not angry, but he was even more flattering.
"Xiangguo, those three women are really rare and stunning, I want to dedicate them all to Xiangguo."
"A merchant, three stunning concubines?"
Guo Kai sighed lightly, seemed thoughtful, and asked.
"What kind of merchant is it?"
"That kid is quite young, with a bit of a Qin accent, and he bought a mansion in Handan City, and he lives with those three concubines."
One man and three women, it won't be so coincidental!
Guo Kai suddenly thought of Gongziqian's abduction not long ago, when Gongziqian was hunting, he happened to meet a teenager and three stunning women who were said to be the young man's sister, and they were kidnapped.
At first, Guo Kai also thought that this matter was done by a net. But as the participation deepened, Guo Kai gradually realized that something was wrong. In the end, at great cost, he got an answer.
Hanyang-kun!
"How old are the three women?"
"I can't see it, but they should all be older than that kid."
With a pause, Guo Kai's heart suddenly beat a little faster, and his voice was hurried.
"Where's the boy?
"I got it to be a servant, and now, I'm moving bricks at the head of Handan City!" Saying that, Guo Qi's face was full of pride, "Just wait for Xiangguo's order, I will send those three women to Xiangguo." ”
Smack!
Guo Kai's slap slapped Guo Qi's face, making the other party stunned.
Guo Qiben was asking for credit, but after Guo Kai finished fighting, his face was solemn and he seemed a little in a hurry.
Guo Kai is a powerful minister and a villain, but it doesn't mean that he is a fool. On the contrary, he is quite resourceful and scheming. It's just that Guo Kai's mind is not to defend Zhao State, but to safeguard his own interests.
If that boy really ...... Guo Kai didn't dare to imagine. You must know that the master is the one who has five tuberculosis and seven wounds in the net.
Seeing that the back road he was bent on leaving was about to be broken, Guo Kai's hands in his shoes trembled a little.
"Changing clothes...... Hurry up and change my clothes...... I'm going to the city to inspect Handan's defenses. ”
Guo Qi didn't know what was wrong with Guo Kai, his hands were a little shaky, and he couldn't even put on his shoes. He stepped forward to help, but took another kick.
Then, Guo Kai left in a hurry. In that way, he was even more anxious than when he went to see King Zhao.
Guo Qi knelt on the ground and touched his head, looking inexplicable.
