Chapter 381 Frost
Hu Zhe rode on his horse and led the army to the south.

Before halfway through the trip, the scouts in front had already brought news.

"General, generals Zhou and Wang have sent military reports. The Qin army burned down the bridges and ships and retreated south."

Hu Zhe is overjoyed.

"Has the Qin army really retreated to Anyang?"

In the eyes of the generals of Zhao Jun, Qin Jun had no choice but to retreat to Anyang.Otherwise, when the Zhao army is encircled, the Qin army will only have a dead end.

"Let Wang Bin and Zhou Zhao prepare immediately, build a pontoon bridge, and look for ships. Our army must cross the Huan River as soon as possible and encircle Anyang."

Hu Zhe is full of ambition.If the Qin army retreats, it will surely sweep away its prestige; if it does not retreat, it will be his opportunity to make meritorious deeds.

Hu Zhe glanced around, it was not too late, but there was no need to move on for the time being.

"Set up camp here, and order the garrison on the Great Wall to escort food, grass and weapons to our camp as soon as possible."

"promise!"

Zhao Great Wall.

Zhao Shuang leaned against the wall of the Great Wall and felt the strong wind blowing on the Great Wall. He was a little bored, so he let out a hache.

It was a quiet afternoon, and as Hu Zhe's army marched south, the defenders on the Great Wall no longer had the uneasiness they had not long ago.All the Zhao people are waiting for a victory, and they also think that they will definitely win it.

After all, there are [-] troops sent from Handan alone, plus the defenders from all over the country, they have an absolute advantage over the Qin army that broke into the Zhao territory.

Because of this, the Great Wall has also become the rear, and compared with before, the guards have relaxed.

By the way, Zhao Shuang's corvee also became free.

“Good city, great water and great scenery!”

A soft voice came, Zhao Shuang frowned, turned his head, and saw his acquaintance in a certain sense walking over in corvee clothes.

Wei Liao smiled and walked to Zhao Shuang's side without saluting.

"Mr. Hanyang is really in a good mood. The army ahead is fighting fiercely, but Lord Hanyang still has a leisurely mind, here to watch the city and enjoy the water?"

"Why are you here too?"

"This time when the Qin army attacked Zhao, the number of routes was really different. I wanted to go to the alleys of Handan to seek advice from Lord Hanyang, but I saw people go to the empty building, and the beautiful woman was not there. Therefore, I stopped by to look for it."

"The place where the soldiers fight is dangerous, sir, it is dangerous to come here."

Wei Liao smiled and didn't seem to care.

"Mr. Hanyang is not afraid, why should I be afraid?"

Zhao Shuang was a little helpless, he couldn't get angry with the people around him.After all, this is within the territory of Zhao State. Once the other party informs, the next step will be very troublesome.

But obviously, the other party has no intention of telling the truth, otherwise, it would be Zhao Jun who came.To a certain extent, Wei Guo was also happy to see the Qin army attacking Zhao.

In this way, the pressure on Wei State can be alleviated.After all, with the loss of Dongjun and Ye, Wei State became a small country completely.

"Now that an army of one hundred thousand has gone south, if Qin's army stays on the north bank of Huan River and confronts Zhao's army, it will definitely be defeated. Is this the end of Hanyang Lord's attack on Zhao?"

"General Zhao has no plan, and all the generals in the army are full of wine and food. Although there are many, there is nothing to worry about."

Zhao Shuang spoke softly.Now the king of Zhao trusts Guo Kai. Although the powerful ministers have means, they can't choose talents and use them. Those who use them are close and dependent.This is a far cry from when Zhao Shuang was in Zhao.

"Why does Lord Hanyang have such an intention?"

"Hu Zhe thought that when the army came, the Qin army would retreat, so he hurriedly asked people to build a pontoon bridge and surround Anyang with good soldiers. His captain didn't even send scouts." Zhao Shuang couldn't help laughing out loud. "With generals like this, Zhao Guo is safe and undefeated."

Hearing Zhao Shuang's words, although he was behind the battle, he knew the situation ahead very well.Wei Liao fell into deep thought, and suddenly had a level of understanding.

Is it...

However, even though he already had a vague answer in his heart, Wei Liao still had some doubts.As the Lord of Hanyang, Zhao Shuang has [-] households in the city, and his subordinates have a vast territory, with more than [-] private troops.

But after all, he didn't have a military position in the Qin army. Could it be that he has such a strong control over the army?Such a dangerous plan, even if it has the possibility of success, ordinary generals don't have the guts to do it.

What's more, obeying the words of a person who doesn't show his face.The safer and wiser way is to return to Anyang.After all, it is a great achievement to capture such an important town without spending much force.

Wei Liao couldn't believe it, and when he looked at Zhao Shuang again, a loud roar in his ear blocked their thoughts.

"What are you two chatting about? There is an order from above, come quickly and move the stone."

At this time, a group of corvees walked past Zhao Shuang and the two of them, muttering.

"Damn it, it's only tens of miles away from Huan River. If we don't drive the Qin people away quickly, we'll set up a camp and transport some ice along the way."

A group of corvees complained.Zhao Guozhu didn't take long to set up camp.The important thing is that a group of corvees were urged to load and unload the supplies to the front.

Wei Liao smiled wryly and shook his head.

"It seems that you are right. The soldiers are arrogant and will be lazy, and they will be undefeated."

After saying that, Wei Liao walked down with Zhao Shuang to carry supplies together.

The military tents are continuous.

The summer is sultry, as if the air is a little anxious.

Hu Zhe was in the military tent, shirtless, looking a little irritable.

"General, here comes the ice."

The captain who once wanted to collect Zhao Shuang's money in Handan City walked into the tent with a smile in his hand, holding an ice box.

Hu Zhe glanced at it and cursed.

"Absurd, this ice is only for the royal palace. How can it be used in the army?"

The captain smiled and was scolded, but he was not depressed at all.

"General, who in Handan doesn't know that you have worked so hard, what's wrong with using some ice? There is a big businessman in Handan City who specially built an ice cellar to collect ice in winter and sell it in summer. This is his tribute to you."

Hu Zhe's expression flickered, but he didn't pursue it.

"Forget it, don't allow it next time. If someone with a heart sees it, they will have to sue me in front of the king."

"Ugh!"

The captain smiled, pouted his buttocks and hit the ice box, and took out a bowl of lotus seed soup from it.

"General, it's just right to drink this time."

Hu Zhe nodded, took the bowl and asked.

"How about the front?"

"The two generals, Wang Bing and Zhou Zhao, are building the pontoon bridge, and everything is going well so far. As soon as the pontoon bridge is completed, my army of Great Zhao can cross the Huan River and defeat the prestige of the Qin army."

Hu Zhe waved his hand, and was about to drink this bowl of iced lotus seed soup, but saw that the captain in front of him did not leave.

"Is there something else for you kid?"

"I was in Handan City, and I saw a businessman with three beautiful concubines..."

"What do you tell me about this kind of thing?"

"The businessman was loyal to my Zhao country. I'm afraid he died in Anyang and was killed by the Qin army. Those three young women are also pitiful. I was thinking of gathering them up and offering them to Hu Zhe after returning to Handan this time." General and Master Guo Kai."

"Guo Qi, you won't do your best in it, will you?"

"General Mingjian, that businessman is loyal to our country Zhao. I didn't force him at all."

"Got it, let's go!"

Hu Zhe waved his hand impatiently.After Guo Qi went far away, the big tent was empty, and Hu Zhe felt a little lonely.

Ever since the failure of the Five Kingdoms to defeat Qin, one of Pang Nuan and Zhao Shuang disappeared, and the other died. The state of Zhao has changed.In Handan's army and court, more and more Guo Kai's cronies appeared.

Up to now, the military style is completely different from that of the past.

While Hu Zhe gained power, the morale of Handan's army went from bad to worse.Hu Zhe didn't know whether it was luck or misfortune to rely on Guo Kai's power and status at this moment.

Hu Zhe shook his head, not intending to pay too much attention to it, but he could hear the noise in his ears.He walked out of the camp, only to see smoke and dust billowing in the distance, and the black and black military flag was extremely dazzling, coming towards this side.

"Qin...how did Qin Jun appear here?"

For a moment, the bowl in Hu Zhe's hand fell to the ground with a bang.On this day, Hu Zhe was panicked and embarrassed like never before.
