The Handan battalion is the elite of the hinterland of Zhao directly under the jurisdiction of the royal family, and it has always maintained a strength of more than 150,000 troops, because of the battle between Qin and Zhao, so only 100,000 troops were left inside.

In order to protect the safety of the royal city, and at the same time make the royal family Zhao Cong think that he is in command, before the time comes, it is a panicked army of more than 100 people galloping from the west side of Handan, first dozens of people entered the Handan camp, and the rest of the people went straight into the city of Handan.

The emergency army reported to the royal city, the sky was not yet clear, and when it came in, Guo Kai, the secretary who was temporarily in charge of the civil and military affairs of Zhao State, received the information of Zhao Mu who had returned from Jingchengkou, and without any hesitation, he immediately rushed to the deep palace of the royal city.

Everywhere he passed, he did not encounter any obstacles, the heavens and the earth were silent, and the deacon's chamberlain replied that King Zhao did not see anyone at this time. Guo Kai insisted on staying outside the inner door of the palace, and strictly ordered the chamberlain to report to King Zhao immediately.

And for Zhao Wangqian at this moment, he stayed all night, and when he heard the words of the servant, he was still sweating profusely on the couch in the depths of the palace to reward a lovely bearded girl.

It's a pity that he was called by Guo Kai's voice of the inner servant one after another, and he had no choice but to go down from the couch naked, wrapped in a collar robe at will, and the big things were still wet in the air, and his body was filled with a strange fishy face, and he walked to the main hall with a gloomy expression.

"Shangqing is the Minister of Consular Affairs, and he originally said that he didn't want to do it, why did he come to find a widow before it was clear, it was crazy."

"Could it be that the Qin army is attacking again? It's about my birds! ”

Before Guo Kai could speak, Zhao Wangqian waved his slightly lean hand and yelled at Guo Kai. The words fell, looked at the attendants on the left and right, snorted coldly, and then said no more.

As soon as his body turned, Tengteng smashed into the dormitory, and the door of the thick inner hall of the deep palace was immediately closed with a bang. Guo Kai looked at the rumbling closed stone door, raised the sleeves of his robe to drive away the fishy cheeks that lingered around his nose, was stunned for a while, and hurried out of the palace without saying a word.

"Old Shangqing, General Zhao Cong is waiting outside!"

Guo Kai walked out of the inner hall with a solemn expression, feeling unhappy all the way, and walked back to his mansion, and the sky void above his head was already completely bright, and he was about to invite the important ministers in Handan to discuss the news brought by Zhao Mu.

Suddenly, outside the mansion, another confidant waiter hurriedly rushed to him, looking a little panicked, and while talking quickly, he pointed to the outside of the mansion with one hand.

"Zhao Onion?"

"Biography!"

Guo Kai's obviously old face in recent years has been raised by his eyebrows, according to Zhao Mu, who returned from Jingchengkou, it is very likely that Xuan Qingzi, the martial monarch of the Qin State Dao, will raid the hinterland of Zhao State, and he wants to discuss this matter with himself.

But for a long time, the military generals in the hinterland of Zhao have been in the hands of Li Mu, Chunpingjun, Taizijia, and Zhao Wangqian.

However, in fact, in recent years, even if there are tiger charms and royal books, it is not very easy to use, and Zhao Cong is a subordinate of Chunping Jun, and for many years, he has been sitting in the Handan camp and commanding the army of the royal guards.

"The last general, Zhao Cong, has seen Jianxinjun!"

Wearing red heavy armor, eagle helmet and hair, burly and strong, with two retinue generals behind him, entered the main hall, with a long sword at the waist and abdomen, bowed his hand, and the sound of the voice swirled.

"Haha, General Zhao Cong, please get up quickly."

"Sit!"

"I came to see the old man so early, I only think about important things, the general can say freely, if the old man can help, he will not hesitate to help."

The title of Jianxinjun, in today's Handan City, but few people mention it, that is the name of the former king who once gave himself the title of the king, and now he can hear Zhao Cong's words, Guo Kai looks happy.

One step closer, he supported him with his empty hand, pointed to the honorable position on one side, and fell with sincerity.

"The situation is urgent, I'm afraid I can't talk to Jianxinjun here."

"Half an hour ago, General Zhao Mu returned from Jingchengkou, and the news brought by the Handan camp was also there, and it was very likely that Wu Zhenjun of the Qin State Dao would raid Baichengkou and suppress the city of Wu'an and Handan."

To this end, Zhao Cong also sent an elite army to set off for the city of Wu'an. It's a pity that just now, they came back quickly, saying that Wu Zhenjun of Qin Guodao had led tens of thousands of heavily armored cavalry to besiege in front of Wu'an City. ”

As soon as the words came out, the entire exquisite and elegant hall fell into silence, and Guo Kai's expression changed suddenly, and he couldn't believe that the Qin National Dao Wu Zhenjun could travel so fast.

But he also didn't believe that Zhao Conggan used this news to deceive himself. Tens of thousands of Qin cavalry appeared in the hinterland of Zhao State, imagining such a scene in his mind, and Guo couldn't help but tremble with joy.

"What does Chunping-kun mean?"

Guo Kai didn't believe that the other party didn't go to find Chunpingjun to explore the strategy and stabilize his mind before coming to his mansion, that Chunpingjun was the concubine of King Xiaocheng back then, and he was originally the crown prince.

But after the Battle of Handan, the proton was in Qin, so that the throne fell on the body of King Mourning Xiang, so that the throne fell on the current Zhao Wangqian, although so, but its status is noble, within the royal family, the prestige is even more than the prince Jia.

"The army of Qin appeared in Wu'an, maybe the next step is Handan, repeating the cruelty of the battle of Handan. Jianxinjun personally experienced this battle back then, so Chunpingjun's words wanted to let Jianxinjun plan this matter. ”

"But there is an order, Zhao Cong will not obey!"

Zhao Cong's expression was calm, standing in front of the hall, arching his hand at Guo Kai, for this person, he couldn't look down on him, and he didn't know why Chunpingjun would hand over this matter to the other party.

"Haha, Chunping Jun looks down on the old man."

"The old man is just a weak civil servant, how can he know about the war. Please also ask the general to return to Chunpingjun, now that Wu Zhenjun of Qin Guodao is leading the army to crisscross the land of Zhao, if Guo Kai has anything to help, he will definitely live up to Chunpingjun's expectations. ”

"The old man has already entered the palace once, and the king said, if the Qin army is pressed, he should lead his troops to resist the enemy, and he should transfer the troops to the king's book, and he will come later, please rest assured that the general."

Dressed in a noble red brocade robe, with gray hair tied up and standing in a crown, listening to Zhao Cong's words, Guo Kai smiled again, and there was not much abnormality on his face. In any case, the deployment of troops to confront each other is inevitable.

Could it be that he still allowed the army of the Qin State to march on the land of the Zhao State at will?

"Don't you know that if you want to transfer the soldiers of the Handan battalion, you need the Tiger Talisman of the King? There is only a book of kings, but if you mobilize a corner, how can you resist tens of thousands of iron horsemen of the Qin State? ”

Zhao Cong shook his head, whispered, and looked at Guo Kai with a pair of iron-blooded eyes.

"Haha, the old man is a civil servant, and he doesn't know anything about the military."

"When the old man entered the palace just now, the king was in joy, and the only copy of the king book was also obtained by the old man with great difficulty, I don't know how much a king book can be obtained?"

Guo Kai looked slightly surprised, laughed at himself, turned his hand and took out a roll of red cloth from his arms, shook it in front of Zhao Cong's eyes, and did not dwell on the matter of the tiger talisman, the old man stroked the red cloth with only one hand, and asked casually.

"If there is only one book of kings, and eleven troops are transferred, with the current strength of the Handan battalion, there are only 10,000 soldiers."

"Jianxinjun thinks he can resist the Qin State Iron Cavalry?"

Zhao Cong shook his head again, according to the military system of the Zhao State before King Wuling, if you want to transfer troops, you must have both the tiger talisman and the king's book before you can transfer soldiers from the military tent camp.

Later, after the reform of King Wuling, in order to make the military order more accessible, it is possible to transfer troops with a single volume of the king's book, but one-tenth of it, Zhao Cong does not believe that Guo Kai does not know the combat power of the Qin State Iron Cavalry.

"This ......, the old man is also helpless."

"It's better to enter the palace in person and see the king, ask for the tiger talisman, if you can, the 100,000 army will move together, and it will be better to be self-sufficient."

Guo Kai hesitated, his face was embarrassed, he glanced at the Wang Shu in his hand, took a small step forward, and whispered to Zhao Cong, giving advice to Zhao Cong, which seemed to be quite attentive.

"Jianxinjun said so, Zhao Cong is clear."

After saying this, who still doesn't know who, Zhao Cong hugged his fists again, bowed, and turned to leave.

This person is worthy of being a thief in the country of Zhao, holding the king's decree and controlling important civil and military items, and would rather not resist the attack of the Qin army than take the things of the tiger talisman out of his hands.

However, Chunping Jun is concerned about the country, and he is afraid that he can't bear to have only 10,000 troops out of the Handan camp, and if he sends more troops, he is afraid that he will violate the laws and regulations of Zhao State and send fewer troops, and the people of Zhao State will be greatly damaged.

With a wisp of disdain on his face, he walked outside Guo Kai's mansion, snorted coldly, turned over his horse, and ran outside the city gate.

After two pillars of incense!

A force of 50,000 soldiers and horses marched out of the Handan camp and went straight to the city of Wu'an, which was hundreds of miles away.

******

Zhao State Taihang north, from the west to the east is divided into Yunzhong County, Yanmen County, Dai County, Wuling King years, Zhao State in one fell swoop to destroy the Zhongshan State, completely the entire northern region through, after that, Chen soldiers hundreds of thousands in front of the border.

For decades, both the Xiongnu in the west and the Donghu in the east were under the blow of the border army of Zhao State, and retreated thousands of miles, making Zhao's territory in the north more than Qin and Yan.

Especially when Li Mu was the chief general of the border army, he gave full play to the combat power of the cavalry of the border army, and killed hundreds of thousands of Xiongnu in successive major battles, which shocked the Xiongnu and Donghu, and the battle of Handan for decades, so the border of Zhao was stable.

The city of Pingyi!

It is out of the Taihang Mountain, a small border city in the northeast and two hundred miles, the radius is only three miles, even so, every five or seven days, there are also a lot of merchants in the city to gather, bring the special products of Zhuxia from all over the place, exchange them in different places, and seek profits.

Around the city, there are small villages that rely on Pingyi to survive, along the river that descends from the Taihang Mountains, constantly surviving and multiplying, and surviving by the harsh conditions of the border.

As night fell, a black-clothed brocade-robed man with a sharp blade walked in this area, his face covered by a pitch-black cloak, leaving only a pair of bright eyes to look around.

With every breath, there is an area of ten zhang left behind, walking through a mountain, not far away, and a small survival, mostly Orion families, relying on hills and mountains, scattered among the woods and meadows.

Strangely, every house along the way was empty, but there were only one or two animals tied to the door, which made the man in black strange, and he knew all the way that for those poor hunters, livestock was their only possessions.

Even if a catastrophe comes, they must be taken away desperately, leaving the animals to fend for themselves like this, and it is absolutely impossible to clean them up.
