Chapter 37: Derogatory Confession

Just when the ministers were suspicious, the confessor came out to give an order: Sima Jin, the fifth doctor of Wang Mingwei, is the general, and Zheng Anping, the doctor of Hedong Chenggong, is the captain, leading an army of 100,000 to fight Handan! So all the doubts were explained: it turned out that the palace was discussing the matter of sending troops to Handan! Wu Anjun's refusal to levy is well known to everyone in Xianyang City, and now King Qin is looking for a solution to this tricky matter, no wonder it is so tense and so long!

But Wu Anjun should not be recruited...... I'm sick!

The general who will go to Handan has been decided, and now it should be dispersed! All the officials thought so in their hearts. However, no, there are still people coming in and out, and it seems that there are many urgent things to do. Finally, the guard returned.

Subsequently, the order of King Qin came from the main hall: Wu Anjun disobeyed the king's order, and was exempted from the clan according to the law. Exempt Wu Anjun from being a soldier and move to the secret!

As soon as this order came out, all the ministers were shocked! Wu Anjun disobeyed the king's orders? When the clan? Avoid being a soldier and move to the secret? Did you hear it right? Dreaming, right?

Wu Anjun rose from the white, the symbol of invincibility in the minds of the Great Qin people, the mainstay, he disobeyed the king's order, was exempted from the army, and was assigned to Yinmi, this is simply a subversive event! Although most people don't know where the yin is located, since it is exile, it obviously can't be a treasure of feng shui, it must be a poor mountain and bad water!

So everyone remembered that the king of Qin appointed Bai Qi as a general, and Bai Qi refused to take office: it turned out that he refused to levy, and his crime was like this! Everyone's hearts were shocked again.

After a while, Sima Jin, the newly appointed general, left the hall, followed by a group of swordsmen. The sharp-eyed ones can find that the swordsman at the head is actually Gai Nie under Zhang Lumen!

Subsequently, the confessor announced the dissolution of the dynasty.

When he went to court the next day, rumors began among officials: Yesterday Sima Jin led the swordsmen into the Wu'an Junfu to announce the king's order, but Bai Qi still did not come out to receive the order, and it was Bai Zhong who came out. The accompanying confessor was supposed to force Bai Qi to come out, but the envoy Sima Jin did not comply, but allowed Bai Zhong to take the order on his father's behalf. This caused great controversy among the ministers, and some people said that Bai Qi dared not accept the king's order because of his high merit; Some people said that Wu Anjun was sick, and Sima Jin's handling was in line with human feelings!

There are also people who know the inside story who said that after hearing Sima Jin read out the fatwa, Bai Zhong's face was pale, his whole body was weak, and he trembled: "My father is sick, I am willing to live in Xianyang temporarily, and it is okay to recover from my illness!" Sima Jin agreed. This also caused controversy among the courtiers.

Someone else whispered that because Wu Anjun was removed from the title, his retainers were stripped of it, and all the retainers were immediately reinstated as citizens and sent to the army. His pro-battalion was also dissolved from Bai Qi, and four thousand people were ordered to go to Hedong immediately to serve as officers at all levels of Hedong County prisoners!

This news is really staggering, the cancellation of the pro-camp means that it is impossible for Bai Qi to be reappointed, and Bai Qi's military career is over!

In the midst of apprehension, the early dynasty began. Interested people found that Sima Jin, who was at the forefront of the martial arts class in the past, was gone, and now the first one is Wei Yi.

Today's morning morning did not issue any orders, and it ended after discussing some routine work.

The really intense work was after the retreat from the dynasty, when Zhang Lu, Wei Yi, and Meng Fu sat on either side of the King of Qin, next to a group of confessors. The three of them nervously issued one instruction after another, and the informant quickly recorded it; After the record was completed, King Qin took it and wrote the word "quasi" directly on it with a red pen. The confessor took the slip down and handed it over to the company. Then hurried back to handle the next paperwork.

The wind in the middle of the pass is surging, but it is not alarmed.

It only took a few days to settle down in the camp of 4,000 relatives. They were not all sent to Hedong to participate in the war, as the rumors said, but they were recruited according to their talents, and they were enriched to all levels of departments and even various localities.

According to the fatwa issued by the King of Qin, on the first day, all the people in the camp were required to participate in a skill test, and those who passed the test were sent to the Hedong camp and appointed according to the rank of chief. On the same day, more than 2,500 people passed the examination and were sent to Hedong. So there was a rumor that all the Bai Qi camps were sent to Hedong.

The next day, all those who had great masters and reinstated writers were assigned to the counties to serve as lieutenants and governors. This time, the counties with conscription tasks were given priority and let them arrive as soon as possible so that they could catch up with the battle. This time nearly a thousand people left.

There were still a few hundred people left, and the officials from the official doctor to the public passenger were recommended to the deacons of the various ministries, and even the prime minister's office arranged five personal guards above the official doctor. The rest of the personnel are assigned to the various hiulia.

It was Sima Jin who was in charge of this matter, and it was several retainers of Bai Qi who assisted in handling it, as well as several husbands from the pro-camp. The specific affairs for them were a group of clerks led by Mang Wei and a group of swordsmen led by Gai Nie.

Every night, the king of Qin would personally summon these people, inquire in detail about the progress of the matter, and tell them that these people had followed Wu Anjun to make meritorious deeds, and they were all heroes of the Qin state; Although Wu Anjun is guilty, their exploits cannot be covered up, and they must be arranged properly.

The process of banning Wu Anjun's pro-camp was unusually smooth, and after receiving the appointment, he immediately went on the road after receiving the appointment, and the stagecoaches and postcoaches flowed endlessly. In the end, even Zhang Lu sighed and said: "The Qin people are forbidden to fight privately, and they are diligent in the king's affairs, and this is the case!" ”

King Qin said: "This is all the merit of the Shang Jun!" Qing said that the people of Qin all knew that there was a queen mother and a marquis, but they didn't know that there was a king of Qin, but they didn't get it! ”

Zhang Lu was ashamed and said: "The minister is speechless, ignorant and shallow, and he is ashamed to think about it so far!" ”

Although the task of dismissing Bai Qi's pro-battalion lasted only four or five days, Sima Jin worked for more than 10 days until all the pro-battalion personnel sent out had gone to the road or taken up their posts, and then returned to the State Governor's Mansion to deal with military affairs. However, in the ten days since he dismissed his own battalion, the daily work of the state lieutenant had already been undertaken by the lieutenant, and the king of Qin asked Sima Jin to focus on preparing to command the battle in Handan.

October, the New Year of the State of Qin. In the midst of the joy of the crowd, the ominous news came that the states of Chu and Wei had begun to assemble their armies, the assembly place of the Chu army was Suiyang, and the assembly place of the Wei army was the north bank of the Yellow River. Both armies are estimated at 100,000 men each! It is clear that this is the reinforcements that are preparing to rescue Handan.

The king of Qin immediately ordered Sima Jin to go to Hedong to establish a shogunate, and the prisoners from all counties would be assembled after October 15. At the same time, he sent envoys to the vassal states, claiming that "I will attack Zhao Dan and go down at dusk." The princes who dare to save Zhao have pulled out Zhao, and they will move their troops to attack them first. At this time, the armies of the two countries had actually been assembled and began to advance towards Handan!

Since Wei had already begun to assemble an army, the King of Qin ordered Tao County to also start recruiting troops and prepare to crusade against Daliang!

For a moment, the battle situation is tense, and a battle that will decide the fate of the princes is coming!

When the Wei army assembled on the north bank of the Yellow River, the eyes of the upper echelons of the Wei state were actually fixed on the Chu state. Suiyang, the assembly place of the Chu State, was the capital of the old Song Dynasty, with a high city and deep ditches and a large population. What's more important is that it is close to Xinling, the fiefdom of Xinling Jun, and it almost arrives in the morning and evening. No one in the Wei State dared to guarantee that the Chu State would not use the assembled troops to attack the Wei State. Therefore, although the Wei army was quickly assembled in place, it did not move for a long time, and only waited until the Chu army in Suiyang had set off and no longer posed a threat to Xinling, and the Wei army slowly got on the road.

Pingyuan Jun secretly set out from Chu after the autumn harvest in September and arrived in Handan at the end of September. He reported to the king of Zhao about his envoys to the vassal states, stating that Chu and Wei had agreed to send troops to aid Zhao, while Korea had agreed to send troops to attack Nanyang and Shangdang in Hanoi.

Pingyang Jun briefed him on the combat situation in the past few months: Lian Po frequently attacked the Qin army's Yongdao, although they were all repulsed, but they also contained the main force of the Qin army, and could not attack Handan with all their strength; The gates of Handan are closed and opened. From time to time, Qin army patrols appeared under the city of Handan. This year's harvest in Handan is impossible, not only will next year's famine be inevitable, but the remaining months of the year will also be difficult to survive: the outskirts of Handan have been looted by the Qin army; In the city's markets, prices skyrocketed, and even then, it was difficult to buy food. The Qin army frequently patrolled outside the city, and the people who went out of the city would be attacked by the Qin army, and their heads could become indicators of merit, and their corpses would become the things in the Qin army's cauldron. Over time, it is impossible to pick up wood.

In the first half of the year, the Yan army repeatedly sent troops to harass the borders of Zhao and recaptured several old places occupied by the Zhao army. In order to stabilize the Yan Kingdom, the King of Zhao took the initiative to send an envoy to marry, and even sent several Zhao princesses and a large number of property, so that the Yan State could barely stop entering the territory of the Zhao State. Although Qi did not make a big move, King Zhao also sent Zhao Nu to show his goodwill. Pingyuan Jun complained that in the process of his mission, he had persuaded Qi to send troops to aid Zhao State, even if it was good to send some food, but Qi State just did not agree, insisting that the Qi army would never leave the country for a single step! King Zhao and King Pingyang both sighed for a long time. Qi is the maiden family of Queen Hui, and it stands to reason that it is the in-law of Zhao State, and the son of Qi, Anping Juntian Dan, also joined Zhao and served as Zhao Xiang. The two countries have such close exchanges, and when the catastrophe comes, they cannot be saved, which is really chilling! Last year, Yu Qing was full of confidence and said that if he offered six cities to the Qi State, the Qi State would definitely assist the Zhao State in resisting the Qin State, but in the end he was disappointed. The three unanimously condemned the view of the queen's wife, and the decline of the Qi kingdom was bound to come!

Although the two countries agreed to send troops, everyone knows that whether this reinforcement is effective or not depends on whether the Zhao army can withstand the Qin army on the battlefield. If Zhao Jun doesn't give his strength, the reinforcements he said may not arrive! At this time, Handan was already out of food, and it was very difficult to hold on.

Although Handan was besieged, King Zhao still insisted on the morning court every day, and every morning court, there were ministers who suggested killing Zichu. It's just that some ministers retorted that King Qin has not turned against King Zhao so far, and all he can rely on is Zichu. If Zichu is killed, the Qin army will have no scruples, and will definitely inflict a merciless blow on Handan, and Handan will be difficult to protect at that time! The two sides were at loggerheads, and King Zhao did not make a decision. Pingyang Jun naturally frequently made overtures to Zichu, hoping to resolve the dispute between the two countries peacefully.
