Volume 8 Chapter 70 The Battle of Handan (II)

Zhao Guo, Zhao Gong.

A sharp sword stabbed at the woman sitting on the high seat.

The woman stared at the middle-aged man without squinting, and her sword was a foot away in front of her, only to be stopped by a piccolo.

The man was shocked and took a few steps back, and a masked woman appeared beside her at some point.

The woman said, "Kill him." ”

The masked woman didn't ask much, her figure unfolded, and two figures appeared, and in just a few moves, she stabbed the man to death in the hall.

The masked woman twitched the corners of her mouth, her strength was so low, she dared to come to Zhao Palace to assassinate, and she was really bold.

At the same time, looking at the woman on the throne, this Zhao mourning queen, it is estimated that the life in the Zhao Palace is very sad. The other party is not a eunuch, and he can enter and exit the Zhao Palace freely, which is not comparable to the Qin Palace at all.

Zhao Zhan smiled bitterly: "The current Zhao Palace is no longer the Zhao Palace of the past. Shao Si Ming, fortunately, my sister transferred you to protect me, otherwise those people would have succeeded. Others don't know, but I still know you, I have lived with Min Dai since I was a child, and I am very familiar with Zhao Gong. ”

"That person is Dr. Zhao Guo, and he may have discovered some secrets and wants to kill me to vent his anger. It's a pity, if you die, you will die in vain, and the worshippers will not interfere in the struggle of the palace, and if you dare to enter the palace so late to assassinate, it should be sent by that person. ”

It didn't take long for Zhao Qian and Chunpingjun to hurry over, and when they saw the corpse on the ground, Zhao Qian's face was hideous, and he vigorously swiped it with his feet a few times, and scolded: "It's really daring, the Qin State has not yet invaded Handan, and it wants to come and kill my mother." ”

"Mother, who is this masked woman? Why have I never seen it in the palace? ”

Before Zhao Zhan could speak, Chun Pingjun said firstly: "That's your sister, her name is Shao Si Ming, and she has been following Princess Min Dai before." ”

Shao Siming bent down and bowed, standing beside Zhao Zhan, as if he didn't care about anything around him. Zhao Qian nodded, he had heard of this person, and his sister Min Dai was a cold moon person, and he never spoke.

Since her aunt sent her to protect her mother, there is really no one in the palace who is her opponent except for those offerings.

Zhao Qian sighed: "Mother Qiqi, Zhao Jia slipped too fast, I didn't kill him." ”

Zhao Zhan smiled bitterly: "Zhao Jia doesn't die, our family will be killed by him sooner or later, where did he go?" ”

Zhao Qianyan said: "I went to Daicheng, this guy is so hateful, he transported a lot of military food to Daicheng. I, Zhao, are in the midst of a famine, he doesn't care about it, and I am very passive, even if the Qin army doesn't attack, I won't be able to be the king of Zhao for much longer. ”

Zhao Zhan frowned and said, "What is he doing in Daicheng?" Do you want to capture the garrison of Yanmen Pass? Impossible, those soldiers only listen to you and Li Mu. Li Mu is dead, and it is impossible for him to mobilize the troops there. ”

Zhao Qian scolded: "Of course he can't transfer the troops there, but he can unite the Yan State, and even lead the Huns to attack." Once this is the case, it will be difficult for Zhao Guo to be immortal. ”

Zhao Zhan and Chun Pingjun looked at each other, did Zhao Jia really dare to do that? At the same time, he thought of a possibility, and he would definitely do it.

Chunping Jun sighed: "Surrender, the internal war in the Central Plains is just a war between royal families." Once a foreigner is involved, it is necessary to share the same hatred and hatred, at least to ensure that there are few deaths. ”

Zhao Qian was very reluctant, but after thinking about it, he looked at his mother's anxious face, looked up to the sky and sighed: "Mother, don't say anything, don't say anything, my son will go to meet the envoy of Qin." ”

Turning to leave, Chun Pingjun and Zhao Zhan were also very helpless, and it was really difficult for Zhao Qian to make this decision. Zhao Qian was not suitable to be the king of Zhao, in order to survive, they were all helped up by force.

Since he has been the king of Zhao and has enjoyed this position for a few years, if he wants to retire, he must have endured many psychological struggles. It's difficult for them, and it's even more difficult for Zhao Qian, but the left and right are all dead, why don't they survive?

Wei Yu came for an hour, and the Qin army had already hit outside the city, and it was reasonable that King Zhao didn't want to see him. Unexpectedly, Zhao Qian really met him.

After saluting, Wei Yi didn't open his mouth, but he heard Zhao Qian ask Guo Kaidao: "Guo Xiangguo, in the current situation, where should this king go?" ”

Guo Kaiyan said: "Qi my king, the national strength of Qin is originally stronger than my country, let alone ten days, even a month, reinforcements will not come." Zhao Jiagongzi has already gone to Daicheng, and he will come back sooner or later. ”

"We only have two choices, one is to hold on to Handan City and wait for the Qin army to retreat by itself. The Qin army's battle line was too long, and it was impossible for them to engage for a long time, especially siege warfare, which the Qin army could not afford to consume. Or one is to cut the land and seek peace, give Handan City to the King of Qin, and move the capital to Zhongyang City. ”

Zhao Qian asked again: "Guo Xiang told me honestly, compared with this king and the king of Qin, which one can unify the Central Plains and become the lord of the Central Plains?" ”

Guo Kai thought about it, sighed, and said, "Compared with the king of Qin, it is far inferior. ”

"The kings have only been around for three years, and they are not very familiar with government affairs, and there are many ties in the harem; And King Qin reigned for seven years, the military and political power was all firmly grasped, and the harem had undergone many purges, and he had no ties in the internal and external peace. ”

"The king himself has no martial arts, and King Qin is also a master, and he even has the best powerhouses around him. There are many more people available than the king. In troubled times, its own strength is also a part, otherwise it is easy to be assassinated by assassins. ”

Zhao Qian nodded, raised his head and said to Wei Yiyan: "Envoy of the Qin State, you go back immediately, tomorrow at noon, this king will open the city and surrender." Tell King Qin that they are all royalty, and remember what he promised. ”

Guo Kai was dumbfounded, and immediately knelt down and persuaded: "The king can't be like this, the subordinates didn't ask you to surrender, you are the royal family of the Zhao family, how can you do this?" ”

Zhao Qian said helplessly: "The Zhao royal family, I can't even protect my own mother, and I have to let King Qin send someone to protect it, which is a failure in itself." In the final analysis, both Zhao and Qin are the royal family of the Zhao family, and since they can't compete with him, they must recognize this fact. ”

"Giving Zhao Guo to Yingzheng can kill fewer people, and if you wait for Zhao Jia to come back, there will be more deaths. Lord Guo Xiang, I give you a piece of advice, don't become an official in the future, be a rich man, it is the most suitable for you. ”

Guo Kai sighed, Zhao Qian had already made a decision, it was useless to persuade him, he couldn't run away if he surrendered. Ying Zheng is much stronger than Zhao Qian, and as an official in the hands of Ying Zheng, there can be no more profit-making things.

Guo Kai is doing things under Zhao Qian, maybe those things that can't see the light, Zhao Qian is turning a blind eye. It's just because Guo Kai respects Zhao Chong very much, he is a businessman, and he has watched Zhao Chong grow all the way, and this history of struggle has many similarities with him.

Wei Yu doesn't know how he got out, he's still making stupid mistakes, what's the situation? He didn't say a word, just stopped there, and King Zhao surrendered.

Why was King Zhao willing to surrender? There must be a secret in this. Thinking of Ying Zheng's strategy for the battle of Zhao, that confident look, and the inexplicable moves made by the King of Qin and the King of Zhao. Wei Yi just wants to keep his mouth shut, those royal secrets, it's better not to know.

From the confrontation at the border pass, to the strange herald of the two kings, to the battle of Handan. From the very beginning, it seems that King Qin and King Zhao have discussed, and they are waiting for Yingzheng to accept Zhao's surrender. The secrets involved in this, Wei Yu didn't plan to ask in detail, and he didn't even think about it.

The more you know, the faster you die. Wei Yu has already planned, and the day when the Central Plains is unified will be the time to leave.
