At the banquet where the Shangdang officials welcomed Zhao Jun, Pingyuanjun made his intention to merge the Shangdang clear, and Feng Ting, the Shangdang Shou, took the initiative to admit that he had dedicated the Shangdang to Zhao Guo, causing an uproar in the audience. Jin Huang said angrily: "Keep it too far!" Please Zhao to aid Han, and rather enter Zhao with Handi! There will be no help! ”

Feng Ting said: "Definitely." Zhao, ally also; Qin, the enemy also. Rather than a rival, rather with a friend! ”

Jin Huang shouted: "Keeping the above party to gain fame and wealth, why bother to say more!" ”

Feng Ting turned to Pingyuan Jun and said: "The minister can't die if he guards the ground for the lord, and he is unrighteous with people; Qin in the Lord, disobeying the Lord's orders, and being unrighteous and unjust; Selling the land of the Lord and eating it is unrighteous and unjust. I am willing to enter Korea with my resignation! He said to Jin Huang again: "The minister is willing to enter South Korea and accept the crime, and he will no longer be famous!" May you do your best to resist the Qin army. ”

Feng Ting's actions made Jin Huang unable to step down for a while, he could only say: "The minister can't be the main guard, I am willing to return to Han to accept the guilt!" ”

Pingyuan Jun said: "You and you both resign, who should I keep with?" The country of Korea, the one who takes the land of Korea, Qin also. The one who guards the land of Han, Zhao Ye. Zhao and Han, a state of brothers. It is the party that is close to Handan, and Zhao has nothing to worry about. Now I heard that Qin will join the party, it is Qin who is close to Handan, so Zhao will help him. May all the kings and ministers join the Qin people and guard the party together. After the battle, it is divided into Han Zhao! Brothers are in the fortunate wall, and they are insulted, which is also said! “

Feng Ting said: "The ministers are ordered by the king to guard the party, and they must not return to their lives." Jin Qing is exempt from the division and can be retained. The pavilion does not know the soldiers, and it is useless to stay. And Jin Shoujiu has been in the party for a long time, and he knows the soldiers, and he is willing to defend it with Zhao! “

Seeing that the two of them seemed to have a good discussion, they thought about it carefully, anyway, they either entered Qin or Zhao. If you enter Qin, Zhao will be defeated, and if you enter Zhao, Qin will be defeated, and this war cannot be avoided. Now it is obvious that Zhao Guo is near, Qin Guo is far away, as far as the immediate situation is concerned, it is more advantageous to vote for Zhao! The selfish interests in his heart are full of righteousness. Shangdang Cheng said: "Feng Shouzhi's words are true. The party entered Qin, and Han was difficult to solve. Now with Zhao Yuan, he will be able to guard the party, and he will save his land for the king. “

The other party officials have their own thoughts, but the general trend has been decided, although Zhao Jiang on the opposite side did not interject, but his attitude is clear: I am already here, what can you do with me? The 30,000 Zhao troops were all in important places, and the party was almost powerless to resist. So they all agreed: "If you can save your place, you can win more than Qin!" ”

A turmoil was resolved in the church, and almost no one in the court knew about the dispute.

After the banquet was dispersed, many officials secretly came to Feng Ting, hoping to return to South Korea with Feng Ting. When asked why they did not want to be entitled, they all replied that because their families were all in Zhengguo, they would rather return to the country and accept their sins than dare not leave home. After discussing with Pingyuanjun, Feng Ting decided to let them go back. These people are not strong-willed, and it may be a scourge to stay.

The next day, Pingyuanjun announced in public that anyone who wished to return to Han could return to China with all his assets if he was able to pass through Qin's investigation.

In the end, there were about a few dozen officials who left, and most of them arrived alone, with their families in South Korea. Those who had family property in Zheng Guo and Shangdang were in difficulty, and because they could not afford to take out the family members and property of Shangdang, most of them chose to stay. After all, Zhao Guo will also increase their official ranks.

Feng Ting took the officials who were willing to leave over the mountains and mountains, returned to Pingyang, and returned to Yang Chengjun. Pingyuan Jun flew to report to King Zhao, the Shangdang has won without a fight, and the Qin army has not yet attacked, which is a good time to build a defense! King Zhao made a decision immediately, and the above Qing Lian was quite obedient to the party.

Lian Po arrived at Shangdang, returned to Pingyuan-kun, inspected the terrain of Shangdang again, confirmed that the defensive strategy centered on Changping was feasible, and immediately began to prepare.

It is expected that after the autumn harvest, the Qin army may come to attack. Lian Po did not dare to delay, and no matter how busy the farmers were, a large number of migrant workers were dispatched to build defensive positions.

After the Danshui flows out of Danjuling, it flows diagonally from northwest to southeast in front of Changpyeong-eup, and turns to flow south from the foot of the mountain in the south. Lian Po first strengthened Changpingyi, adding a ring of outer cities to this small city with a radius of one mile, so that each side was three miles long. And he dug a moat outside the city, and filled it with water. It took 10,000 men and four months to build a strong barracks for the defenders. Due to the distance between the various parts of Shangdang, it is not easy to transfer 10,000 migrant workers, most of the migrant workers actually come from Changping's Changzi, Tunliu, Lucheng and other places, almost all the young and strong migrant workers in these cities are evacuated, no one takes care of the grain, no one harvests, most of them rot in the ground, and Changpingyi is even more unharvested!

Lian Po asked Handan for help. King Zhao immediately sent a grain convoy to transport almost half of the taxes from the counties around Handan to Shangdang. Handan is surrounded by a large grain-producing area, with millions of households and an annual tax of more than 10 million stones. In order to transport 5 million stone of grain into the Shangdang at once, tens of thousands of porters and porters need to be mobilized to be transported to the mountains in stages and batches. Completing this kind of large-scale logistics supply is Zhao Hao's strength, but he is sick at this time and can only lead, and the specific work is handed over to Zhao Kuo to preside.

It takes a month to walk 500 miles of mountain road from Handan to Shangdang. Along the way, consumption and loss, five million stone grain, less than four million stone can reach Shangdang. First of all, the rations of 30,000 Zhao troops were guaranteed, which required about 2 million stone a year; For the time being, the wages of the migrant workers were paid by the surplus food of the party. Shangdang's grain output was not high, the surplus grain was insufficient, and 30,000 Zhao troops were supplied for several months, and the granary was soon empty. The grain harvest around Shangdang failed, and it was almost impossible to survive the winter.

According to the agreement, Pingyuan Jun gave six gold to each of the remaining households, which was a lot of money in normal times, but now he can't buy food with the money. Sensing the crisis, Shangdang residents began to flee.

Lian Po's entire attention was focused on fighting the Qin army, and a large number of scout posts were sent every day to spy on the movements of the Qin army. The people of Hedong still practiced the method of military formation in accordance with the Qin law during the agricultural slack. After the autumn harvest was completed in October, neither Anyi nor Nanyang had detected the movement of the Qin army. On the contrary, a large number of Qin troops appeared in the direction of Hangu Pass. Lian Po did not dare to be negligent and paid close attention to the movements of this force, lest it break into the direction of the party. Instead, however, the force attacked the Korean towns of Gurshi and Lin in Henan. And then it was back. Lian Po was nervous in vain.

After the tension caused by the Qin army passed, it was the month of Layue, which was the eve of the New Year of the Three Jin Dynasty. These 30,000 Qin soldiers have been serving for half a year since they left home in early summer, and everyone is looking forward to going home!

The rotation of military service is the responsibility of Lieutenant Xu Li. As early as after the autumn harvest, he began to mobilize the elite from all over the country to organize the army. The monarchs and ministers of Zhao knew very well that the people of Shangdang alone were powerless to resist the Qin army, and the forces of Zhao must be mobilized.

According to Lian Po's strategy, to hold the Danshui line, at least 100,000 troops and 30,000 troops are needed, which can only hold Changping for three months. But the most fatal problem is food. The surplus food of the party is very small, and after some tossing, the harvest is even worse, and it is difficult to maintain the survival of the people, where can they still supply the army; And once there is no food, the end of the war is defeat without a fight. Lian Po must at least ensure the food supply of the Shangdang Zhao army, and if possible, also relieve the people of the Shangdang. Without the support of the people, only the army cannot support it.

The four million stone grains sent by Zhao Hao became the treasure in Lian Po's hands. On the one hand, it is supplied according to the standard to maintain the morale of the soldiers; On the other hand, there is no need to worry about recruiting migrant workers. So when the New Year came, Lian Po issued a construction order to recruit migrant workers at the standard of one bucket and five liters of grain per day.

A bucket of five liters of grain is not much, it is the standard ration of a day for a heavy manual laborer; But less is not less, because the average person's daily ration standard is three liters, and one bucket of five liters is enough to feed a family of five without starving! By repairing fortifications for Lian Po, the people around Changping had a not so difficult year.

The new army of 50,000 men replaced the previous 30,000. Lian Po built an advance position between the corner of Danshui and the foot of the mountain. This position, which is about three miles wide, relies on the cover of mountains and rivers to form a barrier.

Lian Po still let these migrant workers go home to farm during spring ploughing. 50,000 Zhao soldiers took turns to undertake the task of building fortifications along the Danshui.

After Feng Ting returned to Pingyang, Xiang Yang Chengjun reported that Zhao Jun had learned in advance that General Han had offered the party to Qin, and he led the army to seize Shangdang first, and now only a few people in Shangdang have returned with him. This statement was naturally made in collusion with the officials on the way back to Pingyang, and it can't be said that he dedicated the party to Zhao Guo, isn't that the crime of killing the head! It is easy to reach an agreement on this kind of matter that involves everyone's vital interests. So not only Feng Ting said this, but dozens of officials said it with noses and eyes, and everyone couldn't help but believe it. Yang Chengjun had no choice but to send Feng Ting to Xianyang to report to King Qin first, and then to Zheng Guo to report to King Han. At Feng Ting's request, the officials who had escaped from the Shangdang followed him as members of the mission.

Feng Ting is still relatively familiar with foreign affairs. After arriving in Xianyang, he soon met with the Dian Ke Mansion. He complained to the passers-by: "The ministers were ordered by the king to guard the party on behalf of Jin Huang, and they wanted to dedicate the party to the great country. Zheng Nai Jin Huang secretly communicated with Zhao Guo and leaked this secret. Zhao Yu drove the soldiers to the supremacy of the party after January, but Jin Huang did not defend it, and the party fell. If you don't dare to break the contract! ”

After Zhang Lu learned the news, he did not dwell too much, and only sent the national lieutenant Sima Jin to meet with Feng Ting to understand the situation. On the one hand, Zeng Ji spread the spy net and quickly ascertain the situation. He sent Feng Ting back with a courtesy.

After a big detour, the group finally returned to Zheng Guo and reported to King Han: "Zhao Wenhan can't defend the party, and the troops have been taken today!" King Han didn't even know that Yang Chengjun had promised the party to the Qin State, thinking that he was just taken advantage of by the Zhao State and suffered a secret loss. But there is no way to take it back, so it can only acquiesce!

After the Qin army occupied the Wu clan and Lin, they would go out of the secret until the city of Zheng Guo. King Han was restless, and sent envoys to Xianyang to make peace. Feng Ting quietly came up with an idea: "I am willing to sacrifice the party and Qin to make peace!" Shangdang and Zheng, the news is not connected, Zhao Zhi's attack on the party, Zheng has never heard of it! This alert method of throwing the pot was appreciated by King Han. So King Han frequently sent envoys to Qin, saying that he was willing to join the party to ally with Qin.
