This hand, even Guo Kai didn't expect it, and repeatedly said that Zhao Wang was wise, and then turned his head and let his wife leave Handan with the child in the name of visiting relatives.

Guo Kai wiped a cold sweat.

King Zhao worked too hard, he was worried that even if he made a great contribution to the Qin State, in order to appease the anger of the Zhao State, he would definitely die.

Now, Guo Kai has no way out. It is estimated that his life will be difficult to preserve, and I hope that Lin Xiang can speak and treat his family well.

I, Guo Kai, am a great hero of the Qin State! I have a great contribution to the unification of the world by the Qin State! If Qin Guo doesn't treat his family well, it will chill the hearts of all heroes!

……

Wang Jian was stunned for a long time when he learned the news of the first frontier.

He was accustomed to the unbelievable operations of the kings of the Six Kingdoms, and he had always faced the enemy with extreme calm.

At this time, for the first time, he felt a deep disgust for the mediocrity of the enemy king, and his stomach churned in disgust, and he almost vomited.

Even if Hu Yu died of his discordant plan, Zhao Wangyan's actions also broke through his psychological bottom line.

Wang Jian finally understood that when Li Mu talked about King Zhao's persecution of Zhu Xiang, the disgust tone that was still difficult to suppress after many years.

Wang Jian quietly slowed down for a long time before he recovered from his nausea. He found someone in the army who was good at poetry to write a poem of mourning for General Zhao.

"Listen to the yellow bird singing, and see the artemisia grow tall. Take pity on my virtuous man and be falsely accused of a tragic death.

Listen to the yellow bird weeping, and see the artemisia growing. Take pity on me, the virtuous man is unjust, and the sky mourns for his unjust and tragic death.

Kudzu vines grow in thorns, and weeds spread in the cemetery. Scolding the sky for not opening your eyes, who still breathes with you!

Kudzu vines grow with thorn trees, and grass spreads in the wild soil. Scolding the sky for not having long eyes, who still gets along with you! ”

The poem was sung to the other side of the Yellow River, and Zhao Junren was panicked.

Wang Jian continued to slowly repair the pontoon bridge to cross the river, and at the same time continued to let people spread this poem in the hinterland of Zhao State.

At this time, another poem was sung in Zhao after more than ten years, together with this poem.

"The magpie bird sings at home, and quickly enters Qin. quickly entered Qin, Zhu Xiang was in Qin;

The magpie bird sang in the road, quickly entered Qin, quickly entered Qin, and Lian Po was in Qin;

The magpie bird sings in the mountains, quickly enters Qin, quickly enters Qin, and Li Mu is in Qin;

Take your property and family, enter Qin quickly, enter Qin quickly, and the sage is in the Qin country. ”

Dr. Zhao Guoqing heard this ballad among the people, his eyes were closed, and the old tears were horizontal, and he made harmony with the poems written by the Shuren with the Book of Songs.

"The north wind is cool, and the rain and snow are cold. Hui and good me, hand in hand. Is it false? It's urgent. ”

Chapter 249: Wang Jian Destroys Zhao State

Changing positions on the spot will be a taboo for soldiers. But Zhao Wangyan and his father both loved to do this, and replaced Lian Pohe in the battle...... It's still Lian Po.

In the original history, Zhao Wangyan's son Zhao Wangqian also learned this trick and wanted to change Li Mu in battle. Li Mu asked him not to make trouble, Wang Jian was on the other side, and it would be over if he was replaced. Zhao Wangqian killed Li Mu.

The three grandchildren are biological at first glance, and they don't even need to open a blood certificate.

When Wang Jian crossed the Yellow River slowly, the Zhao army barely resisted and collapsed at the first touch.

Wang Jian did not pursue the remnants of the army, reorganized the army slightly, and moved towards Handan City.

The Qin army brought enough food, and Zhao had almost no surplus food, so the Qin army did not supply on the spot and robbed Zhao of grain.

They hired locals to carry their baggage and even rations.

The Zhao people were originally very afraid of the Qin army. When they learned that they had food to eat for the Qin army, many hungry Zhao people came up with fear.

Zhao is also the hardest hit by the locust plague.

After experiencing the locust plague, Zhao Wangyan did not recuperate and attacked Yan repeatedly.

Young adults were drafted, and the old and weak women and children in their families were already hungry and had no strength to plant too much land.

There is a shortage of young adults in the country, but the conscription of King Zhao and the nobles will not stop. The greater the external pressure, the more the domestic aristocracy needs to paralyze their nerves with enjoyment. Women and children also had to bear heavy forced labor, and they had less time to farm.

In order to fight the Yan State, the Zhao State imposed a heavy tax. The tax does not collect food such as potatoes for famine relief, but only grains that can be easily stored. Women and children have little time to grow grain, so that they can pay their taxes.

If there is no sufficient labor force for cereals, the heavy farm work such as ploughing, watering, weeding, catching insects, and fertilizing is done meticulously, and the yield is very low.

It is the rain that is barren and the land is barren, and the time and year are not abundant. There are no natural disasters, and there are also man-made disasters.

Yan was also poor, and Zhao Wangyan sent a large army to attack Yan to meet some of the army's needs for grain and grass at most.

Moreover, even if the Zhao State got the surplus food, it would not be possible to distribute it to the hungry Zhao people.

There are soldiers of the Qin State muttering in private, the Zhao people are about to starve to death, even if they want to rob, what can they rob?

Gradually, the Qin army was surrounded by many Zhao people.

They were far away from the Qin army, waiting for the Qin army to send them to do things at any time, so that they could stutter.

Wang Jian's heart was as hard as iron, and he looked a little sad.

He thought that he was probably spoiled by the wealth of Southern Qin, and he couldn't look down on the hungry people of other countries.

When attacking the giant deer, the resistance of the giant deer defenders was relatively stubborn.

However, the Zhao people hired by Wang Jian were very brave, and before the Qin army could officially attack, they climbed the city wall.

Wang Jian thought of Li Mujun, those old generals who came from Zhao State.

If King Zhao was a little more normal, Zhao Guo must be a particularly difficult bone to gnaw. The fighting power of the Zhao people is indeed very strong.

Wang Jian counted the military exploits for these Zhao people.

Although the battle exploits were only half of the Qin soldiers, and they were only converted into grain, the Zhao people who ascended first were very happy.

Wang Jian also gave a bereavement pension to the Zhao people who died in the war.

This is what he and these Zhao people agreed in advance. If they die in battle, they send food to their loved ones.

Most of the relatives of the Zhao people who died in the battle were behind the Qin army to pick up work.

When Wang Jian fulfilled his promise and delivered the grain earned by the Zhao people who died in the battle to the women and children, the woman thanked Qin Jun again and again, and grabbed the uncooked dried beans with the children to eat, not even caring about tears.

It wasn't until they had filled their stomachs a little that their numb expressions turned sad and tears welled up.

When someone helped clean the corpse, they asked the Qin people who were guarding the corpse of Zhao Jun if they needed it. If not, it's a full meal for them.

Their eyes were green when they looked at the corpses.

The hungry are easy to eat, and there is not a few taels of meat to eat on the bones. The corpses of Zhao Jun who died in battle had more meat than the corpses of hungry people on the roadside.

Although Wang Jian knew that the scene of Zhao people eating Zhao people spread out, it would probably cause a big blow to the morale of Zhao Jun. But he didn't hesitate to refuse.

"When I enter the city, I will immediately open an official warehouse to help you." Wang Jian said lightly, "You are short of food, and the rich families in the city are not short of it." ”

Seeing that the hungry people were dissatisfied, he added: "If you have food to eat, don't eat people." You are human. ”

After that, he first took out a part of the grain and grass and distributed it to the Zhao people who cleaned the battlefield, and asked them to separate the Zhao soldiers from the Qin soldiers who died in the battle and burn them to prevent them from eating people's stomachs.

Qin Bing's ashes will be brought home by his fellow villagers, and Zhao Bing's ashes will be buried on the spot.

Wang Jian did not do this just by pity.

After conquering this land, this land is the Qin State, and these people are the Qin people.

Eating rotting human corpses is prone to plague, which will increase the difficulty of Qin's governance. Wang Jian wanted to prepare for the future governance of Zhao Di.

Wang Jian did what he said. After entering the city, they searched their homes on the grounds that the officials, wealthy families, and nobles in the city resisted the Qin army's siege.

Gold and silver are fine and soft, and they are used to reward soldiers; After the food replenished part of the military rations, they were handed over to the Zhao people who survived in Xiandeng, and let them be responsible for providing relief to the victims.

Wang Jian also selected poor scholars who could read and write in the city to help Julu City.

"When Handan is conquered, Zhu Xianggong will come back." Wang Jian gave these Zhao people a reassurance, "Take these grains for emergency purposes first, and then wait for next autumn harvest." ”

When Wang Jian left, many of the Zhao people stayed near Julu City, cultivating almost barren fields.

The fields near Julu City are very fertile, but unfortunately no one cultivates them.

The elderly, the weak, women and children who fled to the mountains may still be able to survive, and they will be more likely to starve to death if they stay in the fertile land of the plains.

Now they have enough food to last half a year, drink more water, mix it with other grass roots and bark, and now they have planted potatoes, soybean and wild vegetables to save the famine, and it is very likely that they will live to the time of the harvest, and finally dare to plant.

Now is the time for spring ploughing, which should be the time for farming.

Wang Jian left some soldiers to stay in Julu City, and by the way, he taught and helped the farmers to plough in spring.

They are all soldiers of Southern Qin, and they are already very skilled in doing these things.

The Zhao people refused to believe what Wang Jian said, the grain grown was theirs, and the Qin State not only did not rob it, but also exempted them from taxes for one year.

Even if Wang Jian moved out of Zhu Xianggong's name, they didn't believe it.

But unbelief doesn't stop them from farming. As long as you grow food, even if you are robbed of most of it, you can still save some food.

The general of the Qin State had a sentence that entered their hearts. Who wants to eat people if there is food to eat? Man is not supposed to eat man.

After the destruction of Julu City, Wang Jian did not immediately go south to attack Handan.

He first took the three cities of Ren, Pingxiang, and Guangping near Julu City.

The four cities of Ren, Pingxiang, Julu and Guangping present the shape of "", which are arranged from the mainland Ze (Hengshui Lake) to the Yellow River in turn, which is the city barrier in the north of Handan.

After taking these four cities, the reinforcements from the counties of Zhao Kingdom wanted to go south to rescue Handan, but they would be blocked by these four cities and Daluze.

Wang Jian fought steadily, first isolating Handan from a large area of northern Zhao State, and then slowly besieging the city to send reinforcements, trapping Handan to death.

What he has is food, which can be consumed with Handan.

As for whether Handan will seek help while he is fighting steadily, Wang Jian really hopes that the Chu State will send troops to rescue.

Li Mu and Lian Po swore that they would not lead their troops to attack Zhao, so now Li Mu is waiting in Southern Qin.

The main Chu State had just sent troops, and Li Mu must have led the army across the Huaishui River to attack the Chu State.

……

After the generals of Zhao Wang Yan passed on the first frontier, the generals of Zhao were in an uproar.

In the past, there were many generals who were given death without evidence, but they were unbelievable that they had suffered such insults after they died.
