The remnant sun is like blood,

When the red sunset shines on the battlefield,

The vast land is red,

There are dead bodies everywhere.

Some of the corpses were mutilated, and some had even been trampled by the horses.

All kinds of organs and flesh are mixed together.

There were also some soldiers who were lucky, lying in the corners of the battlefield and moaning.

When the dust settles,

Many soldiers of the Qi army are cleaning up the battlefield.

While rescuing the wounded, it is also necessary to confirm whether there are any soldiers of Zhao who are not dead or pretending to be dead.

At the same time, it is necessary to confiscate the weapons and armor of the Zhao army.

soon

It took a whole night to clear the battlefield.

The next day,

The statistics of the relevant battle losses have been placed in front of Han Lin.

"Your Majesty, in this battle, our army has 21,500 men and 43,000 wounded, of which more than 70% are cavalry."

"At present, the wounded soldiers have all been properly settled, and at the same time, General Huo has led the army to Handan last night, and Handan has been surrounded by General Huo, but according to the news in the city, Emperor Zhao is not in Handan City at the moment, and it seems that he abandoned the city and fled."

After listening to Wei Qing's report,

Han Lin said lightly: "It's okay, just run away." ”

"Anyway, we have achieved the strategic goal, and we will immediately transfer people from Qi State to start receiving the land of Zhao State."

"In addition, inform the Ministry of Works, and ask them to start the construction of the Great Wall immediately in order to defend against the Xiongnu in the north."

After Han Lin finished speaking,

frowned.

Defend against the Huns?

How does this sound strange,

Especially in this sentence, he still said it to Wei Qing.

Forget it, no matter so much.

After all, when building the Great Wall, when announcing to the outside world, there must always be a positive manager.

Otherwise, there will have to be a group of people who say that they are building a lot of construction and working hard for the people and money.

I'm all here to defend against the Huns.

Definitely not for any reward.

Think about it

Every winter, the Xiongnu would attack southward on a large scale.

If you send a large army to attack, how much will it cost per year.

However, if the Great Wall is built, it will cost a lot to build.

But once built,

It only needs to be maintained every few years.

The cost between the two is not an order of magnitude at all.

......

Around noon.

The rested army advanced towards Handan.

Han Lin also followed the army.

didn't go long,

The outline of Handan City has already appeared in the field of vision.

Then

A rapid sound of horses' hooves came into my ears from far and near.

Not long after,

Huo Quzhi appeared in front of Han Lin with more than a dozen personal soldiers.

"The last general Huo is sick, and I will see Your Majesty."

"Get up."

Han Lin said lightly: "What is the current situation in Handan?" ”

Huo Quzhi replied: "Back to Your Majesty, after the Emperor of Zhao fled back to Handan yesterday, he has fled west with his harem concubines and hundreds of officials and their families, including a large amount of treasures. ”

"At present, there are still 30,000 defenders in Handan City, and the defender is Sima Shang."

Han Lin frowned and said, "What about Lian Po and Li Mu?" ”

Then

Wei Qing opened his mouth and replied: "Yesterday, a soldier found a corpse that was suspected to be Lian Po, but because the corpse was incomplete, it was no longer recognizable. ”

"As for Li Mu, last night he took the defeated army and followed the Emperor of Zhao to the west."

Huo Quzhi snorted coldly and said: "This is the Taihang Mountain Range to the west, it seems that Zhao Guo wants to go to the west of Taihang and continue to survive, does Your Majesty want to send a large army to pursue?" ”

Han Lin shook his head: "Forget it, let's take Handan first." ”

"The fertile land of Zhao is all east of Taihang, and the west is close to the grassland, even if a barren land is left to him, it can't set off any storms."

After that,

Han Lin raised his hand and pointed at Handan: "Can you persuade him to surrender?" ”

Huo Quzhi shook his head: "The last general has been persuaded yesterday, but Sima Shang refuses to surrender. ”

Han Lin smiled contemptuously and said, "Heh~ stubborn resistance, why bother." ”

soon

When the army entered the city of Handan.

The appearance of the thousand-year-old capital of Zhao is also in full view.

Wei Qing waved his hand,

The army immediately dispersed and completely surrounded Handan.

Then the soldiers began to cut down trees, either to set up camp or to build siege equipment.

As for Han Lin,

A luxurious tent has been erected on a high ground with a wide view next to it.

By the next day,

When the many siege engines are built.

After Sima Shang refused to surrender again,

Wei Qing began the siege.

As for Han Lin, he sat outside the camp tent with his concubine in his arms, as if watching a movie, enjoying the siege battle in front of him.

But this kind of thing,

After watching it for a long time, you will get tired of it.

In the next few days,

In addition to watching the siege every day, Han Lin enjoyed singing and dancing in the camp, drinking and having fun.

Sometimes,

Even at night, outside the tent, there will be a bonfire party.

With a group of concubines, sit in the center.

The rest of the palace maids, gathered around.

Either play the piano or dance.

merely

Han Lin's location, above the city, can be said to be clear.

Especially in the middle of the night,

In the light of the fire,

The soldiers at the head of the city can be said to see clearly.

This can make Sima Shang miserable.

After all, at this time,

The entire city of Handan was besieged and impassable.

And he knew in his heart that even if he insisted on it for a long time, it would be impossible to wait for the support of a single soldier.

But these soldiers don't know.

If they knew,

If you all die here, you won't have a single reinforcement coming.

That sense of loss will definitely break morale.

The results are now good,

The morale of the soldiers has not collapsed,

Han Lin made such a play outside the city.

Sima Shang didn't know if the other party did it on purpose,

in a word

In the recent period,

Especially at night,

Many soldiers patrolling the city lay on their stomachs at the head of the city, their eyes fell on the distant camp, watching the beautiful dance of the palace maids.

Because of this,

It made many soldiers unwilling to fight.

Initially

The matter was still circulating among a small group of soldiers.

Later, I don't know where Wei Qing learned about it.

Directly abandoned the act of forcibly besieging the city.

Instead, from several counties and counties that were closer to the surrounding area, some Qinglou women were found.

Then, day and night, he brought a large group of soldiers to the eyes of the soldiers of Handan City and began to let those Qinglou women dance.

At the same time, these soldiers were also given good wine and meat.

Every day, at the meal,

The smell of fragrance permeated the city of Handan.

Here, the soldiers of the Qi army are eating with their mouths full of oil and drinking with their faces full of Zhang Hong.

The defenders on the city wall could only stare there, and they had to endure it so as not to let the saliva flow out.

In short, it is a variety of fairy treatment,

All arranged.

Wei Qing is to spiritually completely crush the spiritual defense line of the Handan defenders.
