Chapter 678 Resolution to Destroy Han Xinzheng Rebellion
Yes, since he wants to fight, Zhao Kuo is ready to press all the treasures!
Since the main force of the Qin army is concentrated in the south, it is bound that the Qin army in the east and west of the river will be insufficient, and the 20,000 troops to which the light wolf city belongs can also become a force to be reckoned with.
Advancing westward may not be able to capture many cities, but at least it can put enough pressure on the Qin army.
If he can take the opportunity to take the Lishi Fortress, one-third of the territory east of the river will belong to the Zhao State. After attacking and defending Yixing, this Lishi fortress will also become a bridgehead for Zhao to counterattack Qin.
As for Zhao Wei's secret army, since it was the first chapter of the decisive battle, Zhao Kuo finally decided to take out some secret weapons and teach the Qin army a good lesson.
"Do you want to transfer back one of the Yan Raiders?" Li Mu on the side saw that Zhao Kuo had even transferred the secret weapon, and immediately suggested.
After pondering for a while, Zhao Kuo still shook his head and said, "Although it is said that if you win the Han land, it will not hurt Jicheng for a few days at night, but if the Qin army comes to attack the country, even if the army of Yan is used, it is not yet known whether it can win. If you abandon it like this, you will get it, and if you want to find something unknown, you will be greedy for a lot of things, and it is a big taboo."
"Yes, the last will be silent." Li Mu immediately hugged his fists.
"It's okay!" Zhao Kuo didn't care, and then continued: "It's all about defeating. Let's go and prepare for the war, and be sure to win Xinzheng in the shortest possible time. In addition, the Korean army prisoners, let's take them back to Shangdang first, if we want to fight with Qin, these prisoners will only distract us."
In peacetime, it would be a good way to leave this group of captives and persuade the king of Han and the ministers of the country of Han to surrender, at least it can shake the morale of the army in the city and reduce some losses.
But now is the time to compete with the Qin army, and Zhao must take Xinzheng before the Qin army turns around to attack, so as to occupy a geographical advantage.
Otherwise, the Zhao army could only retreat.
In the case of tight time, persuading to surrender is simply a waste of time, and of course Zhao Kuo will not do it.
What's more, even if the persuasion is successful, then King Han will you stay or not, even if King Han can be escorted to Handan, what about the ministers of the country of Han? Do you stay or not?
Stay, do you dare to guarantee that with the arrival of the Qin army, King Han and his subordinates will not turn back?
If you don't stay, what does this give the world a view?
So, in an urgent situation, there is no such thing as acceptance.
Li Mu naturally understood this truth, and immediately agreed, "Yes."
And just when Zhao Kuo decided to continue attacking Xinzheng, King Han finally received a report from the scouts: the 30,000 troops of Han Zhiguo had been wiped out, and the army of Qin was defeated and fled south.
King Han, who got the news, couldn't believe his ears, although he was still trying to keep calm, but his empty eyes had betrayed all the panic in his heart.
With a wave of his hand, the scout immediately retreated, and King Han sat down on the throne in a dejected manner.
He knew very well that just relying on the thousands of old, weak, sick and disabled in his hands, it was impossible for him to be the opponent of the Zhao army outside the city, not to mention that the Zhao army had annihilated tens of thousands of coalition troops, and the momentum was flourishing.
To be honest, King Han really regretted it! In the battle of Los Angeles last year, why did he betray Zhao and take refuge in Qin, these years, Qin has annexed less of its own land?
What a good piece of land in Hanoi, as well as more than a dozen cities in Hedong, and Shangdang County, which used to be the territory of Han Zhiguo, but now, after some trials and tribulations from Qin State, they have become someone else's.
If he had followed Zhao to resist Qin at this time, he might have had a large piece of land around like the King of Wei and the King of Chu.
Even if the Qin State came to attack, the Zhao State would definitely not send a partial division of 20,000 people to the rescue like the Qin State.
It's a pity that it's too late to say anything now.
What is now in front of King Han is not a dilemma, but two dead ends: surrender is death, and stubborn resistance is a dead end.
The only way that King Han could think of was to pay compensation for the land. Using land reparations to alleviate the emotions of the enemy country can be said to be an effective means for King Han all along.
But the problem is that at this time, King Han suddenly realized that Han Zhiguo, as one of the seven heroes who advanced in layers, now he doesn't even have a county of land, where is there any land to be ceded to Zhao State?
It's just that if you don't have land, you have to create land to cut! Even if it's a city of nothingness! It's better than being destroyed!
Immediately, the king of Han ordered Prime Minister Xuan Cheng and the minister in charge of foreign affairs to enter the palace to discuss the matter of surrendering to Zhao Guo and ceding the land and money.
It's a pity that the news that the retreating army of the Korean army was completely annihilated by the Zhao army was soon spread in Xinzheng City under the deliberate dissemination of the Zhao army.
Those who have children and grandchildren serving in the army are simply struck by lightning after hearing the news. And with the crying in the sky, an unprecedented panic spread in Xinzheng City almost instantly.
Of course, these have nothing to do with King Han in the palace.
As for those dignitaries and nobles, they got the news earlier than ordinary commoners, and of course, the sorrow of the commoners still has nothing to do with them.
But knowing that Korea is about to collapse, the ministers of Hanno Country are naturally responsible for the future of themselves and their families.
If before, there was still the support of the Qin State, and the ministers of the Han State still had a reason to continue to insist, but now that even the army of the Qin State has been defeated, it seems that there is nothing to stop the footsteps of the Zhao army.
Under such circumstances, surrendering to Zhao Guo would obviously be the best way for many ministers and nobles.
It just so happens that the current King Zhao is setting up a village in the south of the city, and he is building ordnance with strong troops and horses, and it is obvious that he will attack the city in the near future.
Good to die or not to die, such thoughts almost filled the court of the entire Han country.
As a result, on the top of the city tower, more and more people came out of the ropes, and they couldn't even wait for dark. Obviously, everyone is afraid that they will be one step late and lose this great credit.
What's even worse is that as the ropes of the various families came out regardless of it, even the Han soldiers guarding the city tower began to waver.
It's just that what they don't know is that Zhao Kuo doesn't look down on their surrender at all, and he never thinks of accepting their surrender.
As for King Han's edict?
Who else will pay attention to this King Han who is about to be ousted from power!
Therefore, even if King Han sent people to invite him several times, no one paid attention to it at all.
Looking at the empty palace, King Han finally understood what it meant to be alone.
The only good news is that although there is already panic outside the royal city, there are not too many waves in the palace.
And the guards and eunuchs in the palace have also become the last cronies of King Han.
Although King Han is not a Ming Jun, he also knows very well that if he doesn't do something, I'm afraid that if he doesn't wait for the Zhao army to attack, Xinzheng will already be lost.
Army, King Han knew that the courtiers outside were no longer reliable, and he had to rush to the city gate immediately to control the army. Only if Xinzheng does not lose, he will have more room for bargaining with Zhao Guo.
Immediately, King Han could only greet his last cronies and hurried to the city gate.
Coincidentally, King Han happened to see the scene of the clans rushing out of the city.
This is also mixed news for King Han.
Happily, the family still wants to go out of the city, which shows that at least the soldiers at the city gate still have their hearts set on the country of Han;
The worry is that before the sun sets, some people can't wait to come out of the city, obviously, there are not a few families who want to rebel, otherwise they will not be so unscrupulous.
Immediately, King Han beheaded several envoys of the city and hung their bodies high on the four city walls, which stopped the families from fleeing to Cheng.
Of course, at the same time, the command of the Chengmen Army was also firmly in the hands of King Han.
However, it is obvious that the enmity between King Han and the other families is also concluded. But it doesn't matter, King Han has a large army in hand, these
The family can't afford to make any big waves.
And as long as Han Zhiguo is not destroyed by Zhao this time, and after this catastrophe, the family will naturally bear the guilt of Jing pleading, and then launch a few substitute ghosts, and King Han will take the opportunity to ask for some benefits, and the two sides will each take a step back, and then they will be able to reunite together to continue to govern the beautiful Han Kingdom.
It can be said that King Han's operation is already very Mingjun's demeanor.
If he continues to follow this plot, what King Han should do is to win people's hearts and prepare to fight Zhao Jun to the death, at least on the bright side, he must tell everyone that he wants to fight Zhao Jun to the end.
Only in this way can he stand up for his fearless image of resisting foreign enemies, can he deter all the nobles of the family, and can he win the hearts of the whole city, and then resist the upcoming attack of the Zhao army.
It's a pity that half of the people who travel a hundred miles are ninety, but at the last moment when he got the military power, King Han relaxed his vigilance and did something that everyone couldn't understand.
Yes, King Han sent his last henchman, the eunuch Ling, to the Zhao army camp to negotiate peace.
It stands to reason that it is not impossible to negotiate peace, but before the negotiation is completed, you must be cautious, even those families know that they want to go out of the city, and they dare not open the city gate openly.
King Han was good, and directly let the eunuch order come out of the south gate.
Although it was only after the sky gradually darkened that the eunuchs ordered them. But, that's the South Gate!
Countless pairs of eyes are staring!
What's more, there are so many soldiers guarding the city above the city gate, how can such a big movement below not attract their attention.
Just now you have killed several so-called "traitors" who came out of the city, and in the blink of an eye, the king will personally send people out of the city. What a thing?
The warriors who originally wanted to defend the city and their homeland lost all faith one by one.
Naturally, at a very fast speed, the news that King Han sent people out of the city to sue for peace spread throughout the entire Xinzheng City.
At this point, King Han couldn't clean up the situation anymore.
Not only the big families, but even the soldiers guarding the city tower were all shaken. Even above the castle tower, the phenomenon of desertion has already begun to appear.
Sadly, the guards at the gates also turned a deaf ear to this.
It can be said that if the Zhao army launched an attack at this time, I am afraid that it would be easy to take it without encountering any decent resistance. The only thing that made the soldiers of the Han army still insist was that they were afraid that their identities would be found out by Zhao Guo and they would not be able to escape death.
And as the news that the Zhao army had captured tens of thousands of soldiers of the Korean army spread back to Xinzheng City, the last will to resist gradually dissipated - it turned out that even the soldiers of the Korean army could not die......
