Chapter 425: The Battle of Time is underway

"Plains-kun?" The old man dared to guess.

Pingyangjun didn't answer, and everything was already unspoken, in the entire Handan City, Shangqing Lin was like lying sick in bed, except for Pingyuanjun, who else knew what was on his back, and who else dared to intercept himself so blatantly, except for his younger brother.

This brother! I've always pressed myself......

"So what are we going to do?" Seeing that Pingyangjun didn't speak, the old man quickly skipped this sensitive topic - between brothers, no matter how bad they are, they are not one of their subordinates who can comment.

"What should I do?" Pingyang-kun leaned slightly towards the back of the carriage, allowing himself to relax a little, his fingers subconsciously and casually flicking up and down the cushion, his eyes slightly closed, as if thinking about how to deal with it, deal with the process in front of him, and the relationship with Pingyuan-kun.

The younger brother's thoughts have been very clear, not only in the court, but also in this city and the city, expressing his dissatisfaction in his way. However, Pingyuan-kun, your idea must be correct?!

There are only 30,000 elite soldiers in Handan City, even if the conscription is 50,000, how can it be the opponent of the Yan army's hundreds of thousands of troops? In case Handan City is lost, what if Zhao Kuo really destroys all the Hu people in Daijun? The state of Zhao has long since collapsed.

There is also this generation of counties, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and there are still Hu people who make trouble from time to time, and it is not a day or two to bring trouble to Zhao State, it can really be described as a tasteless food, and it is a pity to abandon the chicken ribs, so that the chicken ribs endanger the safety of the national capital?

Pingyang-jun really doesn't know what Pingyuan-kun thinks......

If Pingyuan-kun is here, he will definitely have a good talk with this brother of his.

What do you think? It is not difficult to come to such a conclusion by lowering the high head a little and looking at the people beneath the clouds.

Handan City is important, but there are high walls outside, there are tens of thousands of armor soldiers inside, this year's autumn grain is in storage, there is no shortage of clothing and food, even if it is trapped, there is no worry, the Yan army can not break through Handan City in a short time.

The most important thing is that no matter how Yan Jun is, he is also one of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States, and he is also one of my Zhuxia, the slaughter of the city is impossible to do, once it is done, let alone Zhao State, other countries will not be able to spare Yan State, and even Qin State will have to draw a line with Yan State.

What is the situation in Kodai-gun?

Do people who are not of my race need to be explained more about the truth that their hearts must be different? In the past three years, Daijun has been fighting for life and death, and it has already reached the point where either you die or I die.

Zhao Kuo's retreat, the land of Daijun and half of the county is bound to fall, and tens of thousands of people are bound to fall into the hands of the enemy, life is better than death, and life is miserable!

This is the reason why Zhao Kuo can't retreat.

Of course, the life and death of more than 100,000 people, in the eyes of the princes of the court, is just a fairly long number! It's like the 300,000 dead soldiers in Changping.

But you must also know that even in the Battle of Changping, when the battle related to the national fortunes of Zhao was at its most difficult, neither General Lian Po on the front line nor General Zhao Kuo, who replaced him, thought of transferring troops from Daijun, which was already overstretched.

Above the court, the Wenchen led by Lin Xiangru never thought of drawing troops from Daijun again.

Why? Daijun can't retreat, and if he retreats, the hooves of the Hu people will crush Daijun's fields, countless homes will be destroyed by the Hu people, and countless people will fall under the scimitars of the Hu people......

Even his own people were powerless to protect it, and the hearts of the people of Zhao State were scattered.

Of course, these are still not cared about by the princes of the court.

Yes! All the princes of Gon care about is their position and glory.

Yes! The battle of Changping, far away from the party, was lost, and the ministers were still ministers; But now the Yan army is approaching Handan City, once Handan City is broken, the minister is not necessarily a minister.

This may be the fundamental reason why the king, down to the ministers, unanimously wants the general to turn back.

Of course, these ideas, Pingyuan-jun also completely figured it out later, as for Pingyang-jun? Obviously, he didn't realize that there was anything wrong with his thoughts.

After a long time, Pingyang Jun, whose eyes were slightly closed, finally made his decision: "Order: The convoy accelerates forward, but there is a city ahead, all go straight around the city, day and night, and go straight to Daicheng at the fastest speed." ”

"Since my good brother wants me to go slower, I'm going to go faster!" Pingyangjun then added another half sentence to himself.

Regile, sure enough, and part of the age.

When the old family heard this, they didn't dare to say more, so they immediately took the order, opened the curtain of the carriage door, let the coachman stop for a while, and then jumped out of the carriage and gave the order.

Obviously, Zhao Ping's method did not delay Pingyangjun's footsteps, but aroused Pingyangjun's competitive spirit, and a group of 100 people immediately rushed towards Daicheng.

Perhaps, Pingyuanjun just guessed his brother's rebellious psychology, so he just passed the news to Zhao Ping, but he didn't block Pingyangjun's departure.

Of course, the good news is that even if Pingyangjun is fast, he is not destined to be the opponent of the pro-soldiers who set off half a day earlier than him, and only halfway through the journey, the pro-soldiers have already thrown off Pingyangjun for a whole day.

And when he finally arrived in Daicheng, he would find that Zhao Kuo was not in the rear at all, and had already moved his headquarters to Sanggan City on the front line, and when he finally ran to Sanggan City with great effort, he would find that Zhao Kuo had already left Sanggan City with a large army and went to meet the Hu people.

This rush has taken four or five days, to say the least.

Four or five days is a lot less, but more is not much at all. It was enough for Zhao Kuo to complete his encirclement and annihilation of the Hu people in the middle lane. On the east road, Zhao Kuo obviously didn't have time to solve it.

But once the Hu people on the East Road are not eliminated, the Hu people's forces will still have an absolute advantage over the forces of Daijun, and Zhao Kuo's departure is likely to still make the people of Daijun fall into a place of death and life.

This is unacceptable to Zhao Kuo, but if you want to solve the Hu people on the East Road, where to find the rest of the time?

A race against time immediately started between Zhao Kuo and Pingyang Jun, and even Pingyuanjun in Handan City joined the race against time, but his opponent was no longer his own people, but the surging Yan army.

Conscription - this is the only thing that Pingyuan can do now, whether the general turns back or not, Handan's forces must be expanded.

If he does not return, whether Pingyuan Jun can resist the onslaught from the Yan army with the army of Handan is the key to the victory or defeat of this battle;

If it is turned, the soldiers and horses of Daijun are only tens of thousands, and the general cannot take them all away, and the number of Shangdang troops still determines the difficulty of this battle.

After all, the more troops in Handan City, the better, at least 50,000 people must be gathered for the general! Pingyuanjun silently set an indicator for himself in his heart.

It's just that the indicator is down, and the problem will follow.

In the first battle of Changping, the soldiers who could be conscripted and could not be conscripted had already been conscripted, although there were young and strong people who returned to the field, but most of them stayed in Shangdang and the two counties of Hanoi, of course, there were also people who saw that Zhao was strong and prosperous after the war, and the people who took refuge gradually arrived in Handan.

But it's a drop in the bucket. Although Pingyuanjun tried his best, the conscription situation was still not optimistic. Five thousand people have almost squeezed out the entire city of Handan.

Pingyuan Jun knew very well that this was already the limit of the people at the bottom of Handan City.

But it is far from the limit of Handan City. Without him, there are thousands of slaves in his hands alone.

The reason why Pingyuan Jun's eyes will focus on this territory that he has never noticed before is also due to Zhao Ping, Zhao Kuo's spokesperson in Handan City.

Only Zhao Ping, who was from a humble background, would notice whose hands the real population of Handan was, and in the face of the sorrowful Pingyuan Jun, for the sake of his ventilation and reporting, Zhao Ping naturally reciprocated and said it.

Of course, Zhao Ping obviously understood that this soldier was most likely recruited for the general, so Zhao Ping worked even harder, and even found out which family had the most fierce slaves and which household had the most slaves, and then presented them to Pingyuan Jun.

Pingyuan Jun looked at the bamboo slip that recorded the number of healthy slaves, and couldn't help but look at this "cell leader" with admiration. In my heart, I was not only emotionally aware of Zhao Kuo's knowledge, but I was more embarrassed.

Jian Nu is comparable to the general thing of the field, if one or two naturally do not take it to heart, but it really needs to be mobilized on a large scale, it is tantamount to cutting off the foundation of all the families! It's not much of a fundraiser.

It is important to know that the number of slaves is not only directly related to the amount of food produced, but also the key to maintaining the safety of a family. Jian Nu, Jian Nu, on weekdays, are servants and slaves, tending to crops, and in wartime, they are the private soldiers of each family, responsible for protecting the safety of their homes.

No one dares to, let alone lend a large number of slaves in the clan, unless it is a real emergency moment for the destruction of the country, just like the battle of the Shangdang at that time, all clans will hand over the slaves in their hands.

It's just that even then, all the slaves in the hands of various families and clans were not handed over.

After all, the country is dead, the fields and slaves are still there, everything still has a chance, lying down is still a rich man, and if you find a chance, you may be able to become a courtier of the new dynasty again.

But if the fields and slaves are gone, even if the country is still there, they are just duckweed without roots.

Rest with the country? That's just a slogan, no one has taken it seriously, even if it's the prince's relatives, how can he not raise a large group of slaves, but during the Battle of Changping, he sent more slaves than his family.

Now, the Jiannu lost in the Battle of Changping has not yet been replenished, and the requisition is carried out again, and the Plains Monarch can imagine the cold faces of the heads of each family.

It's okay to have a cold face, I'm afraid that if I let myself say the sky, I won't be able to ask for a single soldier! That's the crux of the matter!

Pingyuan-kun sighed softly in his heart......
