After hearing the word good news, Zhao Dan bounced up from the bed almost immediately, and even ignored the fact that he was still unclothed, and rushed to the door in two steps.

"Where? Show it to the widow right away! ”

Mixian was very excited and handed a crumpled secret letter to Zhao Dan.

Zhao Dan looked at the secret letter in Mixian's hand, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional in his heart.

After besieging the city for several months, Zhao Dan received a total of these two secret letters.

Zhao Dan couldn't wait to open the secret letter and read the content in his heart.

Then Zhao Dan's whole person froze instantly.

There is actually only a very simple sentence on this secret letter.

"Daliang City has been breached, and Wang Yu of Wei and many ministers of Wei have been captured alive."

The moment he saw this sentence, Zhao Dan's whole person was completely relaxed.

Won.

Now that Daliang City has been breached, it is already a sure thing for Zhao to achieve this victory.

Incomparable joy rose from Zhao Dan's heart, and finally turned into a bright smile on Zhao Dan's face.

Suddenly, Zhao Dan burst into laughter.

"Hahahahahahaha...... Ahh Oh, Miao Qingru wait first, and the widow will go get some clothes first. ”

Zhao Dan turned around and disappeared from Mi Xian's sight.

Mixian was dumbfounded for a while.

Such a big movement, of course, also alarmed the queen Han Wan, who was already asleep.

So with the help of Han Wan, Zhao Dan quickly finished dressing and appeared in front of Mixian in good spirits.

"By the way, Miao Qing, when did this information arrive?"

Miao Xian replied, "Just delivered." ”

"Good!" Zhao Dan nodded heavily: "Miqing, spread the news immediately, and inform all the people in the entire Handan City, so that they can share the joy of this victory with the widows!" ”

……

Outside the city of Handan, the Wei army camped.

Wei Wuji, the commander of the Wei State, stood on the lookout in his own camp and looked at Handan City in the distance, and a smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Wei Wuji was in a very good mood.

The reason for this is actually evident from the tragic situation of the Handan City in front of him.

The walls are littered with gaps, large and small, that have been blasted out by trebuchets over the past few months.

More than a dozen tall arrow towers are all over the city wall of Handan, and the arrow towers are constantly shooting out dense arrows, compared to the sparse arrows shot from the city, which is extremely weak.

In addition, whenever Wei Wuji saw the very obvious gap in the southeast corner of Handan City, the smile on the corner of his mouth became even stronger.

This gap collapsed a few days ago under the incessant bombardment of the Wei army's trebuchets.

Ever since this gap appeared, Wei Wuji began to mobilize a large number of troops and constantly attacked this gap.

Due to the lack of a city wall here, the battle between the two sides for the gap is very fierce, and thousands of lives are filled in every day.

This kind of result is exactly what Wei Wuji is happy to see.

As long as it is a head-on attrition with the defenders in Handan City, Wei Wuji is not false at all.

Because Wei Wuji's heart was very clear that when it came to the combat effectiveness of the frontal battlefield, the Wei army was definitely far superior to the Zhao army in Handan City.

Don't look at the fact that the two sides are evenly matched at the gap these days, and even the Zhao army can often gain some upper hand, but Wei Wuji knows very well in his heart that this is because there are still tens of thousands of soldiers of the Central Army of the Zhao State in the city.

There is no doubt that these soldiers of the Central Army belong to the elite of the Zhao State, but the problem is that there are not many elites of the Zhao State in Handan City, and there are only tens of thousands of them.

As long as all these tens of thousands of elites of the Zhao Kingdom can be exhausted, then Handan City will be a fish on the chopping board at that time, and Wei Wuji will slaughter it however he wants.

Once Handan City is breached, it will definitely be an out-and-out setback for Zhao Guo. In this way, Wei State stepped on the head of Zhao State to re-ascend to the throne of the current hegemon, and it was no longer an unattainable goal.

Of course, just by virtue of this battle to break Handan, it is certainly impossible for Zhao to decline directly from the world's largest power overnight.

But what is certain is that as long as Handan is breached, then after the myth of invincibility is broken, the Zhao State will inevitably decline, just like the Wei State, the Qi State, the Chu State and even the Qin State back then.

At this moment, in Wei Wuji's sight, thousands of Wei soldiers were flocking towards Handan City in front of him like a tide, launching wave after wave of fierce attacks.

The sound of killing shook the sky, and the smoke of gunpowder billowed out.

Wei Wuji's henchman Zhong Chengcheng stood beside Wei Wuji, the young generation of Wei Guomeng's eyes were full of eagerness at the moment, looking at Wei Wuji from time to time, as if he wanted to get the order to attack from Wei Wuji's mouth.

But unfortunately, Zhong Cheng waited for half an hour and didn't get any instructions from Wei Wuji's mouth at all.

Zhong Cheng finally couldn't help but speak: "General, please let the last general lead the elite of Wei Wushu to fight, and he will definitely be able to break the city in one battle!" ”

Wei Wuji heard Zhong Cheng's words and shook his head slowly.

"No."

Zhong Cheng was anxious: "Why? ”

Wei Wuji let out a sigh of relief and said, "Although Handan is crumbling now, the soldiers and civilians in the city are still united, if our whole army presses it, it will certainly be able to break the city, but in this way, the casualties of our army will be too heavy." ”

Zhong Cheng hurriedly said: "General, if you can break through Handan City, why can't you accept some casualties?" ”

In Zhong Cheng's opinion, if he can really break through Handan, let alone a few thousand more deaths, even if he dies one hundred and eighty thousand?

This is the capital of Zhao State, the world's largest power, and it is not worth paying more casualties to be able to break through such a majestic city?

Wei Wuji turned his head, glanced at the most daring general under his command, and said, "Now the people who are holding the gap are all the elite veterans of the Zhao State, and wait a few days, after these Zhao veterans have suffered all the casualties, you can lead the army to launch an offensive and capture Handan City in one fell swoop!" ”

Zhong Chengdao: "But now Daliang City has also been besieged, if you can't break through Handan City as soon as possible, I'm afraid Daliang City will ......."

Zhong Cheng didn't say any more, but Wei Wuji had obviously understood.

This Xinling Jun shook his head lightly and said, "Don't worry, it has been less than a month since the Zhao army surrounded Daliang City, and such a short time is not enough to break through Daliang City." For a few days, Daliang City can still wait. ”

Wei Wuji didn't actually tell Zhong Cheng what he really thought in his heart.

Wei Wuji's idea is actually very simple, that is, Handan City must be broken, but the premise of breaking the city is that the strength of the Wei army cannot lose too much.

Don't forget that it is not only the Wei State that is besieging Handan City and fighting against the Zhao State now, but also the Qi State!

If Wei Wuji suffered heavy losses in the siege battle because he invested too many troops, then after the city was broken, how could Wei Wuji, who had lost his troops and lost generals, share the spoils with Kuang Liang, the general of the Qi army who was still alive?

There is such a thing as dividing up the spoils of war, and it must be who has the stronger troops, and whoever gets more things!

Therefore, when victory is not certain, Wei Wuji can invest his troops to attack at all costs, but now that victory is in sight, Wei Wuji must consider the issue of casualties.

In fact, Wei Wuji felt that as long as Kuang Liang, the general of Qi who was responsible for attacking the west and north of Handan City, was not a fool, then Kuang Liang's approach was probably the same as Wei Wuji's.

Of course, there was no need for Wei Wuji to say such an idea to Zhong Cheng.

But no matter what, this Xinling Jun felt that the overall situation of this war was decided.

Xinlingjun, who was full of spring breeze, didn't notice that a few miles to the south, a Wei messenger was struggling to drive his horse towards the Wei army camp where Wei Wuji was.

It was the messenger from the Great Liang City.
