Everything seems to be expected by Zhao Kuo.

Lian Po admired Zhao Kuo's magical powers more and more.

Smart people never need to say much, so the story of "stealing talismans to save Zhao" was staged again.

On the eighth day of the siege of Zhao Jun, Xinling Jun convened the doorman to urgently negotiate the strategy of "stealing the talisman", and the doorman Hou won the plan: to avenge the murder of his father for the king's Ruji, and then asked Ruji to steal the talisman at night.

Xinling Jun heard it and obeyed his words.

On that day, Xinling Jun made 3,000 guests all over the place of Daliang, and it was dusk before he got the traces of the enemy of Ruji in the wine shop, so he made the guest behead him three times, and dedicated to Ruji.

As Ji Guanzhi, tears fell like rain, kowtowed to the north of the Lingjun, and said: "The revenge of killing the father is avenged, but the king has orders, and the concubine has no disrespect." ”

The envoy of Xinling Jun told Yi Xinling Jun that he wanted to go north to save Zhao, but Qin was also trying to do it, and asked for the tiger talisman of the king of Ji stolen.

As Ji responded, the night thief tiger talisman and Xinling Jun.

Xinlingjun and Lian Po went out overnight, and opened the city gate according to the thieves of chickens and dogs, and rushed to the border of Wei and Zhao. (The story of stealing talismans to save Zhao is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so I'll skip it here, it's basically the same, I'm afraid you will say that I have a lot of words.) ）

On the tenth day of the siege of the Zhao army, Xinlingjun and the others rushed for two days, Fang went to the Wei army in the middle army, and the king of Wei ordered the Jin to contempt, and the Jin contempt was in line with it. Because of the location of Lian Po, Xinling Jun has never been embarrassed by Jin Contempt, even if he returns to Wei.

When Jin turned back to the Liang, the king of Wei knew that the tiger talisman had been stolen, but the front-line army had already been drawn out, or had been at war with the Qin army, and the king had no choice but to let Xinling Jun do it. He also used Jin to transport grain and grass, and commanded 20,000 sharp soldiers, and served in the army of Xinling Jun in case of emergency.

From this point of view, the king of Wei is not a completely undesirable person. At least there is no filth of "preferring to be a foreign servant rather than a domestic slave", but there is quite a realm of "brothers are on the wall, and they are insulted by outsiders".

Of course, King Wei was not all for the sake of Xinlingjun. Although the 20,000 army and the Jin Contempt General were compromises, they also played a role in mixing sand and sharing the credit.

Even this act of mixing sand is somewhat obvious.

But even so, Xin Lingjun was not easy to refuse, after all, he was also at a loss. Now the King of Wei not only lied for himself, but also sent more soldiers, regardless of whether the army knew about Xinlingjun's "stealing talismans", in the eyes of many Wei soldiers, there is no doubt that the image of King Wei is much taller than Xinlingjun.

Being able to hand over almost all of the wealth of the Wei State to Xinling Jun is enough to make the soldiers who don't know the truth admire.

What's more, now that Lian Po is on his side, Xinlingjun also needs Jin Con, the "own person" who knows the soldiers, and Lian Po, the general of Zhao State, to make a balance.

Skipping this little episode, Xinlingjun finally got the 120,000 Wei army in his hands. Immediately, Lian Po was promoted as the chief general of the army, Jin Con was the deputy general, and Xinling Jun was the overseer.

Lian Po naturally excused himself and let it go. As everyone knows, this term is the beginning of his own crisis.

Immediately, for the sake of concealment, Lian Po led the Wei army north along the Danshui, preparing to quietly cross west and go ashore between the Hyun clan and the Jiepai Ling, and directly penetrate the flank of the Qin army's encirclement.

By this time, the Zhao army had been surrounded for twelve days......

According to the previous estimate, the Zhao army had run out of ammunition and food at this time, and therefore, Lian Po's troops moved quickly, and in just one night, 120,000 troops had crossed the border and entered the territory of Shangdang.

But even so, Wei Jun still came a little late! The final siege and annihilation battle of the Qin army began as early as three days ago.

That's right, after receiving reinforcements from the 30,000 troops mobilized by the King of Qin from Hedong and Hanoi, Bai Qi decisively launched a tentative offensive against the remnants of the Zhao army.

Under this battle, the weak combat power of the Zhao army was immediately and completely exposed to the eyes of the Qin army.

Of course, the fundamental reason for the sharp decline in the combat strength of the Zhao army is naturally because of the mixing of the 100,000 young people, even if these 100,000 young people follow the army, they have already experienced the big battles (the battle of the fortress and the battle of pursuit), and they can be regarded as smelling the smell of blood, but the halfway monks are not as good as those regular troops who have fought with the Hu people and confronted the Qin army.

Despite the geographical advantage, the weak Zhao army still couldn't stop the Qin army.

Such a visible decline in combat power is a different reason in the eyes of the Qin army - lack of food!

That was after the Zhao army was short of food, the morale was rapid, and the physical strength, fighting spirit, and morale decreased sharply.

Of course, if you look closely, it is not difficult for Qin Jun to find that although the Zhao Jun they killed was also a little yellow-faced and thin, it was by no means to the point of breaking.

Even Zhao Jun's yellow muscles and thin muscles were also due to Zhao Kuo's deliberate control of the soldiers' eating.

Although the Zhao army had been surrounded for 12 days, the grain transportation in the rear had been cut off 15 days earlier, when the Qin army captured the camp of Hanwangshan.

In other words, Zhao Jun had not replenished grain for at least 15 days. According to the general military rationing system - during the march, each battalion only carried the day's rations, the main battalion of the Chinese army carried three to five days of grain and grass, and the Zhao army had already run out of food - this was for the absolute control of the commander-in-chief over the troops below.

Therefore, it is not unreasonable for Qin Jun to have this judgment.

It's just that what they don't know is that from the beginning, Zhao Kuo knew that he would be surrounded fiercely, so Zhao Jun prepared enough grain and grass from the beginning. The rations carried by the battalions alone were sufficient for three days, and five days' rations were stored in the forts. And in the main camp, there is a seven-day bread.

Carefully calculated, when the Qin army launched the attack, it was when the fortress was basically exhausted. Therefore, after the Qin army broke through several fortresses, they found that there was really not much military ration in them, and they immediately affirmed their judgment more and more. In fact, every evening there were sergeants quietly rationing.

Of course, this ration was not much, only enough for the soldiers in the fortress to eat one meal a day. It's not that Zhao Kuo is slamming the door, no one really knows when the Wei army will arrive, and more importantly, if the soldiers under his command are well fed one by one, the Qin army will not be able to see it when he is crazy.

Of course, such a compensation naturally had a certain impact on the morale of the military.

But on the day, two, and three days, the endless supply of grain was distributed, and no further reduction was made, and the Zhao soldiers immediately stopped worrying too much about the problem of food—although they could not eat enough, they could not starve to death—and this was enough.

Compared with the problem of food, the soldiers of the Zhao army were obviously more worried about their general Zhao Kuo's health now.
