Li Mu's news was quickly sent back to Handan.

When Zhao Wangqian learned that the Qin army was coming again, he still divided his troops into two routes, attacking Handan from the north and south respectively, and immediately called everyone over to discuss countermeasures.

"Great King, the minister suggested asking the Wei State to send troops to help, and join forces to defeat the Qin army as last time."

"Although Korea is gone, the Wei State is still there, and the King of Wei will definitely not watch our Zhao State fall into danger."

"If Zhao dies, Wei won't last long."

First of all, there was a rare initiative of the minister.

King Zhao sounded like he thought the plan was feasible, but was about to speak when he was interrupted by another minister.

The minister said: "Last year, the Qin State attacked Korea, and the King of Han asked us Zhao Wei to help, but only we sent troops, and we also lost General Zhao Cong, and no one survived the 80,000 reinforcements. ”

This sentence is like a basin of cold water, poured on Zhao Wangqian.

"So what should I do?"

The Qin army is going to come in again, if it can't be stopped, the Zhao State will be destroyed like South Korea, Zhao Wangqian said anxiously: "You guys quickly think of a way for the widow, if you can't think of it, don't go back today." ”

"The king, the minister thinks that the current reinforcements are not important, the important thing is the grain and grass."

At this moment, a man who was one or two years older than Zhao Wangqian stepped forward and said: "Last year, General Li Mu defeated the Qin army in the north, which boosted the morale of the whole army of my Zhao State, as long as General Li Mu is here, everything will not be a problem, but we are now in a big drought, there is no harvest of grain grains, where can the soldiers still have the strength to fight?" The Qin army took advantage of our drought to invade, and if the problem of grain and grass can be solved, our Zhao army is definitely not afraid of the Qin army. ”

Zhao Wangqian thought for a while, clapped his hands and said: "Brother is right, come and buy grain, go to Qi State to buy it, it's really not okay Chu State can also do it!" ”

The person who was called an uncle by Zhao Wangqian, called Zhao Jia, that is, Gongzi Jia, was originally the eldest son of King Zhao Mourning Xiang, but because his father liked Zhao Wangqian more, he was unable to inherit the throne in the end, and then Handan was broken by the Qin army, Gongzi Jia led people to kill him, and went to Daidi to establish himself as the acting king.

Later, it was also called Dai Wang Jia.

"It's not okay to buy grain, Yao Jia sent an envoy to the State of Qi and has persuaded the King of Qi not to sell us any more grain."

"Buying grain from Chu State, the road is far away, but I am afraid that the grain will be transported back, and Handan has been breached."

Another minister shook his head helplessly and vetoed the practice of buying grain.

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, what else can the widow do."

Zhao Wangqian said angrily.

The people in the main hall fell silent at the same time.

If they had a solution, they would have come up with it.

Gongzi Jiazuo said: "King, there are more than 3,000 stone of grain stored in the minister's mansion, only part of it is left for personal use, and the rest is all donated. ”

Although his throne has been robbed, but now that the national disaster is at hand, the previous grievances can be put aside first, and the Qin army can be driven out with all his strength.

Zhao Wangqian was moved, and suddenly thought that Li Mu's report also had content about the expropriation of grain, so he hurriedly opened it and looked at it, and immediately said: "Guo Kai! ”

"The minister is here!"

Guo Kai had no choice but to stand on the main hall and pretend to be dead.

I can't pretend to be able to do it now, so I responded hard.

Zhao Wangqian shouted: "You immediately contribute all the food in your family to the widow to resist the Qin army." ”

"The minister's family is poor, there is not much food, and if you take it out, you will be starved to death!"

How can Guo Kai have such selfless dedication as Gongzi Jia, of course he refuses.

Zhao Wangqian said angrily: "Do you think the widow will believe it? ”

Guo Kai: "......"

I definitely won't believe it, as the prime minister of Zhao State, he definitely has a lot of food stored at home, which cannot be concealed.

Zhao Wangqian said again: "Li Mu said in the newspaper that there is definitely a large amount of grain in your home, and everyone here, there is definitely a lot of food in the house, all of which are contributed to the widows, drive away the Qin army, and if you don't take it out, no one is allowed to leave here, brother!" ”

"The minister is here!"

Childe Jia said.

Zhao Wangqian has already been released, if he is not ruthless, Zhao Guo will not be able to defend it, and said sharply: "You take the widow's personal guard, leave Guo Kai and the others here, and then bring people to their mansion to collect food, first supply the army, and the widow ...... The widow also took out half of the grain of the palace. ”

"Yui!"

Childe Jia is overjoyed.

I feel that this younger brother has finally been sensible for a while, no longer greedy for pleasure, and knows that the country is the most important.

Zhao Wangqian can't be ignorant, Yingzheng has already destroyed South Korea, and now it is menacing, he must destroy Zhao, if he doesn't do something, the country is gone, how to enjoy it?

All the ministers in the main hall were terrified at this time.

But to oppose it, and without the courage to do so, the pro-guard troops were all dispatched, for fear that they would not be able to leave the main hall.

"Li Mu!"

Guo Kai had to obey the arrangement, but he already hated Li Mu in his heart.

Li Mu refuted him many times before, and he was already very unhappy, but now the hatred has risen directly to the peak, so he can only endure it first, and Li Mu will look good in the future.

——

In the military camp east of the river, all the troops were dispatched.

The prisoners, sons-in-law and others in the army first escorted the grain and grass to set off across the Taihang Mountain.

Wang Jian led an army of 200,000 and followed him, and the army was mighty and marched on the road to Zhao opened by Yang Duanhe in advance.

"This attack is Jingcheng, and General Yang found out that Li Mu is in Jingcheng."

When resting on the way, Wang Jian opened a map, but there were only simple lines, drawing the specific location of Jing Cheng, and continued: "Zhao Guo can lead the army to resist us only Li Mu, Sima Shang is still a big gap compared to Li Mu, the rest of the people are basically useless, as long as Li Mu is defeated, the morale of the Zhao army will plummet, and there will be no one available for Zhao Guo, what do you think?" ”

"Feasible!"

Bai Zhong, Yang Duanhe, and Wang Ben agreed at the same time.

Wang Jian thought for a while and asked, "General Yang, are you sure that Li Mu already knows the news of our sending troops?" ”

Yang Duanhe affirmed: "Li Mu definitely knows, according to the latest news, outside the city of Jingcheng, various fortifications have already begun to be built, Li Mu continues to follow the way of Lian Po back then, build fortifications, and prepare to delay the war with us." ”

Wang Ben smiled and said: "There is a great drought in Zhao State, and there is no food in the army, how long can you delay with us?" ”

"Not necessarily!"

Wang Jian analyzed: "The famine in Zhao State, that is also a matter for civilians, if Li Mu dares to propose that Zhao Wangqian collect the grain stored by the nobles of Zhao State and put it into the army in large quantities, as long as it lasts until the second half of the year, if the autumn harvest is not dry, he can still alleviate it, but these are all later words, and it is not important for the time being." ”

Bai Zhong asked, "Is the general worried that Li Mu will set up an ambush on Taihang Mountain when he learns that we have sent troops?" ”

"Those who understand me, General Bai too!"

Wang Jian laughed and said: "The team transporting grain is in front, if Li Mu destroys our grain and grass, or even snatches the grain and grass, we have to go back first, and wait for the next batch of grain and grass to arrive, I don't know how long we will have to wait, it is not conducive to the morale of our army, I want to send a group of forwards to explore the way, General Bai is willing to take it?" ”

"No problem!"

Bai Zhong agreed.
