That night, Shinling-kun inspected the 40,000 troops and gave them a generous speech, encouraging them to fight the enemy bravely. He ordered: "Father and son are in the army, and father is back; Brothers are in the army, brothers are back; An only son has no brothers, and he is adopted. "Long live in the army!

With this hand, Shinlingjun completely controlled the army. No officer dared to question the authority of Shinling-kun anymore, because the soldiers trusted him!

After introducing Lu Zhonglian, Li Yan's son Li Tan came to see Pingyuan Jun again.

Originally, Li Tan was not qualified to see Pingyuanjun, but Li Yan was a servant, and Li Tan usually had a lot of contact with Pingyuanjun's guests, so he met Pingyuanjun under the guidance of a guest.

Li Tan asked Pingyuan Jun: "Zhao will die, don't you worry about evil?" ”

Pingyuan Jun said: "If Zhao dies, he will be captured, why not worry?" ”

Li said: "The people of Handan, cooking bones and eating are urgent; And the king's harem is numbered in hundreds, and the concubines are chopped up, and the surplus meat, and the people's brown clothes are not finished, and the chaff is not tired. The people are exhausted, or the wood is the spear, and the gentleman's utensils are free. Now Juncheng can make the following Mrs. among the soldiers and soldiers, and share the merits; Scatter all that you have in your home to feast. In times of crisis, Yi De'er. ”

Pingyuan Jun was a little surprised and said, "Who taught Er's words?" ”

Li said: "What this minister thinks is not taught by others!" ”

Pingyuan Jun said: "Shengsan family wealth, what can Ziqi use?" ”

Li Tan said: "If you dare to do more, if you use ten thousand stones to raise three thousand people who dare to die, you can do it!" ”

Pingyuan Jun said: "If it is, why don't I pity ten thousand stones!" So he ordered his retainers and concubines to be included in the ranks of the defenders of the city. At the same time, open their granaries to supply Handan with grain. Pingyuanjun set an example, and other noble sons followed suit. With people and food, the morale in Handan City was greatly boosted. The patrolling Zhao Jun also puffed up his chest!

One day, Zhao Jun, who was in charge of patrolling around Zichu Mansion, accidentally found a beggar appearing at the door of the mansion, as if he was about to knock on the door to beg, but he collapsed in front of the door hungry. The captain who led the team stepped forward and touched the beggar's chest, and said, "You are still not dead, you can apply for it!" ”

The ten Zhao Jun dragged the beggar up, took him to the city, fed him a small bowl of corn porridge, and the beggar woke up slowly.

The chief said, "How long will you be hungry?" ”

The beggar said, "Three days! ”

Shi Chang said: "There is a place to eat today, what do you want?" ”

The beggar said, "I wish to go!" ”

Shi Chang said: "Will he die, what do he want?" ”

The beggar said, "Those who are about to die, why not be afraid to die!" ”

Shi Chang said: "So, come with me!" "Lead the beggar into a crowd. All of them were hungry, and some of them were dying. Seeing that the chief was coming with a beggar, a hundred generals said: "The posts are ready, and they will all follow me." "Lead this group of hungry people to the junction of the royal city and the city of Handan, which is neither in the city of Handan nor in the city of the king. Although it is outside the city, it is protected by castles on both sides, but it is a safe place, and the area is wide enough.

Groups of hungry people "recruited" from all over Handan were brought here, and the hundred who brought them with them carried baskets of grain, leaving them in the clearing, and spending a cold night, barely maintaining their body temperature by piles of bonfires.

Beginning the next day, the group began to be fed with food, and fifty people had a stove, and they put up a ding, scooped in a stone of millet, and filled it with water. After the porridge is made, each person can get a bowl. Then it is to send them the commander of the Shiwu and the generals of a hundred people, so that they can know each other. Under the leadership of these commanders, the group began to line up, practicing forward, backward, and brisk running. At the end of the half-day training, these people do not eat with them, let alone camp with them, and leave separately. Only the hungry crowd was left, sitting in the cold wind, waiting for another dinner.

After more than ten days like this, although this group of people could not talk about having enough to eat, after all, they had food every day, and their faces gradually became angry. One evening, after dinner, all the officers lined up, and the commanders also came, and a young man came to the front of the ranks with a group of people who had come from a small number, and said, "You are going to die, and I am alive!" Now I will use your death power, and those who have death power, I will kiss him; If there is one who retreats, I will kill him, and I will destroy him, and I will destroy him. Don't be mistaken! Thou shalt be the will! ”

The group listened to the young man's lecture with blank expressions. When the man had finished speaking, the soldiers did not return to the camp, but sat down and rested. Each person was given a long wooden stick with stones or pieces of bamboo tied to the front. And they were given a white cloth to each of them, and they were to wrap it around their heads.

In the middle of the night, someone brought the ding, and it turned out to be sake lees. In the state of Zhao, sake lees were not eaten, but used to feed livestock. But for this group of hungry people, even fodder is good! The lees were well prepared, each person had a bowl full of them, and after eating them, they were hot and emotional.

After eating the lees, the whole army stood up. The young man said, "You will follow me, but if you see that there is no white cloth, kill them!" ”

The crowd relied on the strength of the wine and shouted, "Oh! ”

That night, the weather was gloomy and there were no stars or moons. Everyone could only faintly see the white cloth on the head of the person in front of them. The crowd was one foot deep and one foot shallow, barely following the group. After walking for more than an hour, it became darker. Suddenly, there was a loud shout from the front: "Kill!" Immediately after, everyone shouted "kill" one after another. The Wu Commanders pushed the people around them: "Run...... Kill~~! "Take the lead and rush forward. The people next to them were driven by them, and they also shouted to kill and rushed forward.

There were no bonfires in the Qin camp, and the goals were vague. The group crashed into a group of fences, and the Qin army inside woke up and raised the weapons around them to resist. Although it is not in a row and cannot give full play to the collective combat effectiveness, the Zhao army is also fighting alone, and the Qin army is actually not at a loss. If it can be delayed for a while, the troops behind will arrive, and the Zhao army will actually do nothing. But for some reason, a bell rang from the big tent behind and ordered the troops to retreat. Since the bells of the battalions also rang, the Qin army, which was fighting with the Zhao army, could only give up resistance and retreat.

The bell sounded urgently, the Qin army retreated extremely fast, and the Zhao army also pressed forward step by step, chasing up. The people behind set fire to the Qin army's corridor.

No one noticed that the beggar took advantage of the darkness to move gradually to the side of the group, and then fell headfirst into a ditch that was not too deep......

The Zhao army pursued until dawn, about thirty or fifty miles, and on a hillside, I saw the neat team of the Qin army! The Qin army, which had retreated last night, passed through the Qin formation and entered the rear of the Qin formation.

Seeing this neat military formation, Zhao Ren's wine also woke up, his waist was also slumped, and he began to stop hesitantly. But the young man did not give up, but continued to shout vigorously: "Kill~!" Kill~! Kill~! ”

The drums in the Qin army were loud, and the Qin army was killed like a landslide. Without the cover of the night, without surprise, and without the strength of wine, where is the opponent of the Qin people in this group of Zhao people who have just been concentrated for only ten days, the people in front of them rushed up bravely, but they were like big waves on the reef, and they were smashed to pieces! Screams rang out from time to time, and the young man finally couldn't scream anymore......

Finally, fear overcame reason, and Zhao Jun behind screamed, threw away the weapon in his hand, turned around and ran. The Qin army did not accelerate, but just maintained the formation, advanced slowly, advanced for ten miles, and stopped. And the Qin army began to search the recovered townships, as if to find the defeated soldiers......

On this night, the raid of the Zhao army did not cause much damage to the Qin army, but the Yongdao that had been painstakingly built was completely destroyed!

The beggar was found and brought to the king. When Wang Ji saw the man, he immediately burst into tears, and bowed his hand and said: "The son suffers, and the sin of the minister is also!" ”

Zi Chu stepped forward and said: "The king's order is like this, not to do the secretary's business!" He fainted and fell to the ground.

Immediately, a medical officer stepped forward to check and said, "There is no other person, but I am hungry and cold!" Wang Yu hurriedly ordered to fry ginger and jujube soup, and untied his cotton armor for Zichu to put on. After pouring a few sips of ginger and jujube soup, Zi Chu finally woke up and struggled to stand up. Wang Yu said: "May the prince return to rest in the afternoon, don't worry about the ministers!" ”

Zi Chu waved his hand again and again, and said, "It's urgent!" Chu Wei reinforcements are coming, may the general make his plan early! ”

Wang Yi said: "The Wei reinforcements have already arrived in Ye, and they have not moved forward. It's not harmful. If my reinforcements arrive, they will be broken! ”

Zi Chu said: "It's not a plan. May the general explore it again! ”

Wang Yi said: "What does a son mean? ”

Zi Chu said: "I heard that a Wei envoy saw King Zhao and said that King Zhao was the emperor of Qin, but Zhao refused. ”

Wang Yi said: "This Wei Shui wants to help Zhao, so for this reason!" ”

Zi Chu said: "General Qi heard that Qin has this discussion?" ”

Wang Yi said: "I haven't heard of it! However, Handan and Xianyang are thousands of miles apart, and the news is not clear, so the king may have this intention. ”

Zi Chu said: "Definitely." If the king has this discussion, he should send an envoy to Zhao and Wei Wei? ”

Wang Di said: "If it weren't for Qin's discussion, Wei would envoy Yu Zhao and say that Zhao Feng Qin was the emperor, what would it be?" ”

Zi Chu said: "How can you want to check Zhao Zhi's power!" If Wei Yi came out, Zhao would respond, and Zhao would be tired; Zhao was Emperor Qin because of Wei, and Qin was good with Dewei. If Zhao refuses, it is Zhao Zhiyu, and Wei will undoubtedly aid Zhao. ”

Wang Yi hesitated a little and said, "Who is the discussion about this?" ”

Zi Chu said: "Lu Qing is not Wei. ”

Wang Yi said: "Where is Lu Qing?" ”

Zi Chu said: "Lu Qing knew that Zhao rejected Wei's proposal, so he knew that Zhao Bi and Wei Heye were ministers who sneaked out of the city and came to vote for the general. Zhao and Wei He, their momentum is not small, and the general is willing to investigate it in detail. Handan is dilapidated, and the people suffer from its disaster, if there is no miracle plan, it is really difficult to save it. And the 100,000 Qin army stopped in the fortified city, exhausted the food, and this time of survival. May the general do it sooner! ”

Wang Di said: "The life of the son, be careful! However, without the king's order, the ministers dare not do it! ”

Zi Chu said: "Wei not only aided Zhao, fought with Wei, but also served as a general, why is he good at it?" ”

Wang Yi thought about it, sent an envoy to Wuji, and asked the Wu'an army to send an envoy to Yecheng to hear the news and report!
