It took several days for Lian Po to completely complete the handover of the position and bring the Zhao army outside Handan City. I entered the royal city by myself and came to meet the Zhao brothers.

Since Wang Di broke through Wu'an, Lian Po has never returned to Wangcheng and has been commanding the battle with the Qin army in the camp. Now he was covered in dust and had an indescribable smell on his body, in stark contrast to the pampered trio in the seat. Pingyuanjun and Pingyangjun were very polite to let Lian Po to the guest seat in the west seat, instead of describing the seats according to the grade.

King Zhao comforted Lian Po and asked him about his future strategy. Lian Po said: "There are still 20,000 Qin troops in Wu'an, and the Wei army is willing to gather and annihilate them." Wang Yu's Qin army went out of Zhangshui to the east, entered the Yellow City, and fed on Zhao Wei. Its fearful ones, Wei and Qin; The fearful one, the war in Handan, and the grain is not harvested; Now spring ploughing, and the soldiers are still puzzled! ”

Pingyang Jun said: "The Wei army lives in Wu'an, Wu'an has little food, and the army can't last long." About a month, Wei will retreat. Its fearsome person, Wu'an Qin Army. If Wei retreats and the Qin army still exists, it will be a problem for the henchmen. ”

Pingyuan Jun said: "I can't tell the king of Xinling!" ”

Lian Po said: "Xinling Jun has a big sin in Wei, and Wang Qi stayed in Handan, and met him well. He will not be with Qin! ”

Pingyuan Jun said: "The king sent a letter to Lingjun and sent an envoy to make peace with the king of Wei and make him return early. Xinlingjun is the Qin general Zheng, the old Liang is old, and he wants to surrender it! ”

Lian Po said: "The Qin army is 20,000, adjacent to Handan, if it is surrendered and collected, it will be a confidant; Why don't you send it back to Qin for healing! ”

Pingyuan Jun said: "Sending it back to Qin is like a tiger entering the deep mountains." Qin Li is complete, there is no loss, and he will be restored. ”

Lian Po said: "No." Under the Qin Dun soldiers, there is no door to enter, and there is no way to retreat. Although it is enough, there is nothing that can be done. Although Zhao is broken, the soldiers are all fighting, and if they rise and attack, they will be broken. ”

Pingyuan Jun said: "The veteran soldiers are tired, can they still fight?" ”

Lian Po said: "Handan is broken, there is no food to eat, and then there is famine. If you will fight in a foreign land, you will eat a foreign land, and you will have it all! ”

After some discussion, everyone reached a consensus. Lian Po's Zhao army was stationed outside the city of Handan for a month, and the king of Zhao supplied food until the Wei army left, the Qin army either destroyed or retreated, and Handan was completely safe before disbanding and returning to his hometown to prepare for spring ploughing. Those hungry people who had no food had to be reorganized into armies and go out to fight in order to get food abroad. The direction of the battle depends on the situation, or Tao County, or Shangdang, and can also be used in other directions at the request of the princes. Pingyuanjun was responsible for liaising with the princes, finding customers for the Zhao army's sorties, and supplying grain and grass during cross-border warfare. Everyone believes that the Qin State has seized a lot of territory from the princes, and when the Qin State is weak, the Zhao State will send troops to help recover the lost territory, and many vassal states should respond. - As for some food, it should be no problem!

Pingyuan Jun sent someone to inform Xinling Jun that after the Qin army was surrendered, it could be sent back to China, and not to stay in Zhao for a long time. This requirement greatly reduces the difficulty of being surrendered. Mr. Zhong Yue and Zheng Anping soon finalized the evacuation plan of the Qin army. But leaving the officers behind, it was Xin Lingjun who insisted. He firmly believed that good officers were the soul of the army. As long as the officers are left, the combat effectiveness of the Qin army will definitely be greatly reduced.

The total strength of the troops assembled by Lian Po was 100,000 people, and there were many losses in the battle with the Qin army, but after timely replenishment, the total strength remained unchanged. Maintaining an army of 100,000 people put huge logistical pressure on Zhao State, and 10,000 stone per day was consumed for food alone. Pingyuanjun conspired with Lian Po to secretly dismiss some sergeants in advance, and the saved food was divided equally between the two.

By this time, Mr. Zhongyue's negotiations with Zheng Anping had been fruitful, and the Qin army had begun to withdraw from the valley. Although all this work was within the Wei army's sphere of influence, Wu'an and Pigao were the land of Zhao after all, and it was not difficult to find some information from there. Therefore, the number of people evacuated by the Qin army every day can also be mastered by the Zhao army. According to the evacuation of the Qin army, Lian Po gradually sent his sergeants home. During this period, the New Year was ushered in. King Zhao ordered that due to the war, many Zhao people died, and this year's New Year only mourned, and did not accept the court. Handan spent the New Year in a gloomy mood. Naturally, those powerful and wealthy families are still prosperous, just to avoid suspicion and not make a big deal. Even Lian Po returned home to spend the New Year with his family, and came back after a few days of excitement.

By the time the Qin army had completely withdrawn from Wu'an, the first lunar month was almost over. The weather is getting warmer day by day, the spring season is approaching day by day, and spring ploughing is about to begin!

Xinlingjun returned to Handan from Fukou and reported to King Zhao that the Qin army in Wu'an had completely withdrawn, leaving only 500 officers above the rank of doctor in Wu'an, and 5,000 seriously wounded who were unable to walk, for a total of 5,500 people. Hearing that the Qin army still had such a huge force left, Pingyuan Jun's face changed.

But Xinlingjun's words later made Pingyuanjun breathe a sigh of relief. Xinling Jun said: "It was early spring, when this farmer was working on the field. The field of Yiyi is imminent, and the soldiers should return quickly! ”

Pingyuan Jun said: "The soldiers dare not stay." But what can you do? ”

Xinling Jun said: "It's just the end of the world!" ”

Pingyuan Jun said: "Be careful not to be frustrated. Although Handan is biased, there is still a meal to offer! ”

Xinling Jun said: "Anping is for me, offending Yu Qin." Where peace is, where the minister is! ”

Only then did Pingyuan Jun realize that he did not say a word about the resettlement of the Qin people, and immediately said: "The Qin people of Wu'an are all sent by the king, but what?" ”

Xinling Jun said: "If it is attributed to Wei, it will be at your own disposal." Now......"

Pingyuan Jun said: "I should be careful, don't worry!" Zhao is in the war, the household registration is reduced, and now he has it, and he will get it! ”

A few days later, the Wei army began to withdraw from Fukou one after another, out of the Great Wall, and retreated to Yecheng. The army flowed endlessly, and the king of the plains ordered each family along the way to prepare food and drink, put it on the host, and send it to Yecheng. On the one hand, he arranged officials to take over Wu'an.

After more than ten days like this, the Wei army finally completely withdrew from Wu'an, and the officials of Zhao were basically in place. Wu'an Ling Li Chong was promoted to Shangqing because of his meritorious service in guarding the isolated city of Wu'an, and the reappointed Wu'an Ling was another Zhao Gongzi.

The remnants of the Qin army gathered in Wu'an are the most prominent contradiction at present. Wu Anling was going to rudely drive these wounded away, but the wounded were guarded by hundreds of Qin army officers, and with the support of Xinlingjun's disciples, Wu Anling did not dare to force them too much. On the other hand, Shinling-kun also kept asking Pingyuan-kun for countermeasures and putting pressure on him. Xinlingjun's sister is Pingyuanjun's wife, Xinlingjun and Pingyuanjun are uncles, and Xinlingjun is still "forced" by Pingyuanjun, and Pingyuanjun is also trying his best to fight for King Zhao.

Finally, after Wei An completely withdrew from Yecheng and the army outside Handan was completely disbanded, Pingyuan Jun proposed to Xinling Jun the solution of the Qin army: Zheng An was actually crowned Wuyang Jun and could bring ten people to office. The rest of the Qin generals were hired according to their talents, and those who were not hired were given land for farming. The wounded were recruited to be taken care of by peasant households, and the officials were given rations. Xin Lingjun informed Zheng Anping of this plan, and Zheng Anping asked himself not to be separated from the wounded, and he could not be separated from Wuyangjun.

Zheng Anping's opinion was vetoed by Xin Lingjun: 5,000 people gathered together, how could it be possible to reassure the Zhao people, only by scattered resettlement could it be accepted by the Zhao people. As for being named Wuyangjun, it sounds very majestic, but it is actually a chore. Wuyang is on the northern border, sandwiched between the Yellow River on both sides, and there are large swamps in the territory, with a small population and scattered residences. If it is falsely sealed, it is better to say that it is only taxed, but now it is a real seal, and people must go there in person, and the difficult living conditions can be imagined.

Zheng Anping asked, "Can he walk with the wounded?" ”

Xinling Jun said: "You are reluctant, I don't know!" Zheng Anping understood.

Xinlingjun said again: "Two hundred miles to the left of Wuyang, it is my Tang Mu Yi; Two hundred miles to the right, it is the fiefdom of the Plains King, Tobu City. But if you are in trouble, you can send an envoy for help. ”

Zheng Anping smiled bitterly in his heart, two hundred miles away, when he asked for help, time had already passed. But I still expressed my gratitude.

Most of the wounded who could walk had been sent back to Shangdang, and all the wounded who remained in Wu'an were unable to move, and quite a few were actually waiting for death. Zheng Anping was in a heavy mood, he was about to go to Wuyang, and if possible, he was willing to bring as many wounded people to Wuyang as possible. But when he asked everyone who was willing to go to Wuyang with him, no one responded. He originally thought that it would be very attractive to follow him to Wuyang to take office, but he didn't want to be left out in the cold.

Zheng Anping didn't understand the reason for this, and quietly took the two five doctors to a secluded place and asked: "I am a little affectionate and righteous to the generals, so why should I have no one to accompany me?" ”

The two five doctors were silent for a while, and finally one of them replied: "Wu'an is close to the party, and it is just around the corner." Even if Handan is not far away. If Wuyang, when will it return to Qin? ”

Zheng Anping suddenly understood that in the hearts of these people, there was still a glimmer of hope to escape back to the Qin State. But he knew that this was impossible, so he said: "Go to Wuyang together, share weal and woe, protect each other's blessings and woes, and survive in death." If it is scattered to various places, it will be difficult to do it all. ”

Another five doctors said: "Today, all the soldiers have to return to their fate, although they have no regrets in death." I wish to look at Qindi, not far away. The general does what he does, and the ministers can't follow it! ”

Zheng Anping's face was pale and he didn't dare to reply.

Pingyuan Jun finally accompanied by Xinling Jun, on behalf of King Zhao, came to announce the reward for the surrendered generals: General Zheng Anping, Feng Wuyang Jun, will be fiefdom on the same day; The five doctors and the public passenger are all appointed doctors, the public doctors and official doctors are all appointed as middle doctors, and the doctors are all appointed as the lower doctors, each with its own division; Qin was wounded, and the public office recruited people to treat them. Quasi-Zheng Anping took one doctor, one middle doctor, and ten doctors to the fiefdom together. On the same day, Zheng Anping was asked to propose a list of people who went to Wuyang together, and all the others were taken away and appointed separately.

Zheng Anping knew in his heart that none of these officers were willing to go with him. But King Zhao had an order, and he had to obey it. had to bite the bullet, regardless of everyone's wishes, forcibly left those officers who could understand Zhao Yin, and went to Wuyang with him to take up his post.
