Handan City regained its calm, Lu Buwei had already transferred all the supplies, gold and silver of the business before his action, and it was really amazing to be able to do it quietly and not attract attention, and the disappeared business name was quickly replaced by other business names, naturally some people were happy to do it, and the backstreet murder case and the Liuchun Garden murder case finally ended without a problem, but the Liuchun Garden was reopened a few days ago, and it was still overcrowded, and it was not affected in any way.

Zhao Kuo returned to the house, Hei Hu and others built an armory workshop day and night, the new army camp practiced day and night, Zhao Kuo was also happy to be idle, the three beauties around him were so happy, occasionally check the military book to practice swordsmanship, the days passed day by day, the land of the party Qin, Zhao Dajun still confronted, but Zhao Huiwen King was in a hurry.

On the main hall, Lin Xiangru is emaciated and his temples are white, King Zhao Huiwen is also sideways, and he can't help but be sleepy after doing it for a long time, and the party is on the table to send back the battle report, stacked high together, the battle report mentions that Lian Po led the army to build two strong defenses in the east to confront the Qin army, and also prevent the Qin army from forming an encirclement from the east, Qin Zhao Wang increased his troops again, avoided the water from below, and all the attacks were repelled by Lian Po, so he had no choice but to build fortifications to hold on.

King Zhao Huiwen's face was gloomy, his eyes never left the bamboo slips in front of him, he looked at it again and again, his eyes slowly turned back, for fear of missing something, "King, what did General Lian say in the recent battle report?" ”

King Zhao Huiwen sighed and only said one word, "Guard!" ”

Lin Xiangru nodded, "General Lian's move is also helpless, the strength of the Qin army is above mine, and the damage in the head-to-head confrontation is too great!" ”

King Zhao Huiwen said: "This king understands this truth, but now that it has been more than two years, the consumption of hundreds of thousands of troops is too great, and the grain drawn from various places has also reached the upper limit, and it can be used for less than half a year for the party's grain and grass!" How about the time! ”

Lin Xiangru's body moved, "Food is very important, once there is a shortage of food, the army will inevitably be unstable, the king might as well borrow food!" ”

"Borrowed food?"

Lin Xiangru nodded, "Borrow some grain and grass for emergency relief, and return it when there is food in the future!" ”

King Zhao Huiwen smiled bitterly, "Who would have thought that it would be so difficult for the dignified Zhao Kingdom to borrow grain from others!" ”

Lin Xiangru said: "The king must not be afraid of feelings, and the war must not be delayed!" ”

"Alright! Don't know who to borrow from? ”

Lin Xiangru said: "Now the only way to transport grain to Shangdang is Wei and Qi, although Wei has Xinling Jun from it, how can the King of Wei be afraid of Qin and make an alliance, if he goes, it will be difficult to respond, and now the only way to do it is Qi State!" ”

King Zhao Huiwen said: "King Qi may not be willing to lend grain to Zhao!" ”

Lin Xiangru said: "Fortunately, there is still Tian Dan, Tian Dan has a pivotal position in Qi State, and he made Zhao State sign an alliance on the same day. ”

"Who is the right person to send to the Qi country?"

"Zhao Kuo!"

"Zhao Kuo?"

Lin Xiangru nodded, "Tian Dan had a good relationship with Zhao Hao that day, and Zhao Kuo had been to Qi Country and was familiar with the journey, so it was only appropriate for Zhao Kuo to send Qi Country to discuss the matter of borrowing grain!" ”

"Zhao Kuo is too young to weigh the pros and cons!" King Zhao Huiwen has always been worried, now that Zhao is in trouble, Qi will inevitably take the opportunity to ask for benefits, how to mediate to find the most beneficial method for Zhao is the key, a mouth is far more important than a sword.

Lin Xiangru sighed and said: "It's just that Lin Xiangru is sick and can't walk or ride a horse, otherwise he will definitely go to share the king's worries in person!" ”

"What Shangqing did for Zhao Guo is in everyone's eyes, even if this king is also grateful, he never thought that one day he would not be able to ride a horse or a car, even if a woman is also far away, he is really old, Zhao Guo should let these young people go out and break through!"

"Zhao Kuo's wit is the most suitable, the only thing to worry about is the King of Qi, if he is also afraid of the Qin State, he will definitely not agree!"

"I can only try, come here, and immediately order Zhao Kuo to enter the palace to see me!"

"Childe, it's your turn!"

Zhao Qian's figure floated by quickly, her face was full of smiles, a bamboo arrow was held in the palm of her hand, a narrow bamboo bucket was placed in front of her, and a few bamboo arrows were scattered on the ground.

"Childe is great!"

"You guys try!"

Qin Wan held it in her hand, a smile appeared on her face, her original cold expression completely disappeared with the return of Qi Guo, and she no longer had to worry about her identity for the purpose, she just wanted to be herself and the woman beside Zhao Kuo, even if she couldn't get too much, she was also willing.

The palace guards entered quickly, Zhao Kuo turned his head, stood up, and the cheers of the three people came from behind him, and they must be equally engaged, the guards stepped forward and whispered a few words, Zhao Kuo nodded, "The king summoned, Zhao Kuo will enter the palace immediately!" ”

Qin Wan turned around, "Where did Childe go?" ”

Zhao Qian said: "I was still here just now, Sister Qin, play for a while, Childe must be with Mu Chen!" ”

Zhao Kuo didn't dare to delay and went straight into the palace, only to see Lin Xiangru's face pale and tired, and he hurriedly saluted, "Zhao Kuo has seen the king and Lin Shangqing!" ”

Lin Xiangru nodded, his eyes showed envy, it's good to be young, if Lin Xiangru was twenty years younger, he would definitely go into battle to kill the enemy in person, and now even a long sword can't be raised.

King Zhao Huiwen said: "Zhao Kuo, this king orders you to immediately send an envoy to Qi to borrow grain!" ”

"Borrowed food?"

King Zhao Huiwen nodded, "The war ahead is tight, the food shortage in Handan City lasts for half a year, and now it has just passed the harvest season, and it will take a year for the new grain to come down next year, and now we can only borrow grain to get through the difficulties!" ”

"Zhao Kuo will definitely live up to the king's trust!"

"Go, if King Qi has any trouble, remember not to be impatient, to negotiate, you must borrow food!"

"Qi Country!"

Lin Xiangru nodded, "Now only Qi Guo still has a glimmer of hope!" ”

"Zhao Kuo will definitely do his best!"

In the land of the party, two soldiers carried the wooden barrel to the high ground, the barrel emitted bursts of heat, a burly man with a long sword on his waist and looked down, there were two people standing beside him, who should be subordinates, pointing from time to time, the barrel was placed, and one person stepped forward, "* Army, it's time to eat!" ”

The man looked back and fell on the steaming wooden barrel, "Take it down and distribute it to the soldiers, General Ben is not hungry, in the future, three meals will be changed to two meals, and breakfast will be halved!" ”

"*Army, the body is important, how to make it!"

"How can you not do it, there is no battle every day, it doesn't hurt to eat less! Take it down. ”

The soldiers had no choice but to carry the barrel down, Lian Po's face was gloomy, as the commander of the three armies, he knew best that the food sent by Handan was limited, and the siege of the Qin State Army always refused to retreat, there was still food and could, once the food situation became critical, he simply reduced the meal, looking at the steaming rice and was also greedy, for the future, for the sake of Zhao Guo can only endure it, Lian Po has a huge amount of food, and one meal is enough for more than ten people.

In the barracks, a person looked at the gruel in the bowl and scolded, "I could still see rice grains yesterday, what's wrong today!" ”

One person blew a few times with his mouth and poured it directly into his mouth, "Forget it, it's good to eat some!" What are you yelling about, if you are heard by the general, you will be beaten to the board! ”

"Damn, I've been hiding in this place where birds don't for more than two years, and I'm scolded every day and don't dare to go out!"

"It's better to go out and have a good time with Qin Jun!"

"Yes, the head has a bowl-sized scar!"

"Those who dare to disturb the morale of the army will be dealt with according to military law!"

A person wearing armor walked by and happened to hear the soldiers in the barracks shouting, stepped in and shouted, the soldiers saw that it was the leader and had to shut up, quickly finished eating and lay on the ground, there was nothing to do, the fortifications have been built, the stone city as high as dozens of meters, don't say that it is the Qin army, even if the Zhao people want to cross the same difficulty, Lian Po left 20,000 horses to guard the pass, and the rest of the horses stayed in the camp, the two armies held each other all day and had nothing to do, even if the scolding below was also uninteresting, the drum broke a few doors, casually threw aside, and knocked a few times when there was nothing to do.

One person scolded: "Zhao Guo's gallant mice came to fight!" ”

The other side replied: "If Qin Guo dares to come, he will definitely accompany him!" ”

The two sides built fortifications, held each other for two years, no one was willing to attack, Lian Po is good at defense, building fortifications is a must, attacking day and night to conquer Lao Maling is also helpless, once Lian Po will strengthen the fortifications on it, connect them into a line, constitute a stone city, can not be attacked at all, the Qin army will stand on a high place and look at it from afar, only to see a line of fortifications intertwined with each other, only a way to besiege.
