The most powerful fool system

　In mid-October, the two armies faced off at Jishui, south of Boyang City, Jibei County, and confronted each other on the water.

　That is, before Xiang Yu led the army and Zhang Han confronted Jishui, the battle between Han Xin and Zhang Er in Handan finally took a major turning point.

　At the beginning of October, Han Xin sent a surprise army to bypass Zhang Er's defense line in Quliang overnight, and went straight to Handan City.

　Two days later, [-] Qi troops appeared at the foot of Handan City. The Changshan defenders in Handan City were shocked, thinking that Zhang Er on the front line had been defeated.

　Soon, Zhang Er was also in Quliang City, and he was also panicked when he received the news that the Qi army appeared in Handan City behind him.

　For Zhang Er, Handan City must not be lost.

　Therefore, Zhang Er immediately left the main force of the army, and personally led the [-] Changshan army back to rescue Handan.

　After Zhang Er led the army back to Handan, he found that the [-] Qi army outside Handan had long since disappeared.

　At the same time, the main force of the Qi army under Han Xin's command also began to attack the Changshan army in Quliang.

　On October [-], Zhang Er received news that Lieren City in the south had fallen.

　It turned out that the [-] Qi troops who appeared under Handan City went around to the south and attacked Lieren City by surprise.

　At this point, the southeast of Handan is wide open, and Han Xin's Qi army can completely bypass Quliang, go to the Lieren area, and go straight to Handan City.

　It is no longer necessary for Qu Liang to guard or not.

　At this time, Zhang Er made another stupid move, and even ordered the main force of Changshan Army in Quliang City to withdraw to Handan.

　What Han Xin was waiting for was this opportunity.

　On October 10,000th, the [-]+ Changshan Army retreated from Quliang, and Han Xin led the army to follow and pursue.

　When the main force of Changshan Army retreated to a place called Qingmosao, it was ambushed by [-] Qi troops who had been waiting here.

　The main force of the 10,000+ Changshan army was suddenly ambushed, followed by tens of thousands of Qi troops chasing them. They didn't last long before they were defeated and fled.

　The Qi army led by Han Xin pursued and killed the fleeing Changshan soldiers and horses, and did not stop until they reached the city of Handan.

　After this battle, the main force of Quliang's 10,000+ Changshan Army was destroyed by Han Xin in the first battle, killing more than 2 people, capturing more than [-] people, and missing countless people.

　In the end, the Changshan army who fled back to Handan City was defeated, with less than 4 troops.

　At this moment, the entire Changshan army was devastated, and its morale was extremely low.

　Chang Shan Wang Zhang Er was completely panicked, and immediately sent someone to ask Xiang Yu for help.

　"Han Xin, my king and you are irreconcilable."

　From the palace in Handan City, Zhang Er's angry roar came from.

　It's a pity that Zhang Er's angry roar could not destroy Han Xin's Qi army, nor could he restore the main force of the defeated 10,000+ Changshan army.

　"My lord, now we can only let the overlord, and quickly send troops to rescue us."

　The ministers under Zhang Er were all panicked at this time, and they all pinned their hopes on Xiang Yu's reinforcements.

　"Have you sent an envoy to the Overlord for help?"

　Zhang Er asked with a dark face.

　"Go back to your majesty, the second batch of envoys has been sent out."

　"That's good."

　"But my lord, we have to hold on until the overlord's reinforcements arrive.

　Can't wait for the overlord to lead the army, our Handan City was broken by Han Xin. "

　Someone stood up and said.

　"Yes!"

　The ministers under Zhang Er nodded their heads one after another.

　"Then tell me, what should I do now?"

　"My lord, the morale of the generals in the city is low now. We need to find a way to improve the morale of the generals in order to resist the Qi army's siege!"

　"Yes, in addition to improving morale, we also need to recruit more young and strong defenders."

　"Yes, we have enough food and grass in Handan City. As long as we have enough soldiers, we will be able to hold on until the arrival of the Overlord's army."

　These ministers spoke one after another.

　"Okay, then listen to you.

　According to the king's order, [-] young and strong will be recruited from the city to guard the city. Each of these young and strong will receive [-] qian and [-] catties of grain first.

　As for the soldiers defending the city, as long as they kill an enemy soldier, they will be rewarded with eight coins, and there is no cap. "

　Zhang Er gritted his teeth and issued such a generous reward order in order to boost the morale of the remaining soldiers of the Changshan Army in the city.

　Relying on the richness of Handan and other places, Zhang Er has accumulated a lot of wealth in the past year. This time, he also worked hard to defend Handan City.

　Zhang Er is not a fool, he knows that once Han Xin breaks the city, no matter how much wealth he has, it will only make Han Xin cheaper.

　"Your Majesty is wise." All the officials shouted.

　"Let's disperse." Zhang Er waved his hand to let all the ministers disperse.

　Now everything he can arrange has been arranged, and the rest is up to his courtiers and generals to execute.

　"Your Majesty, I have something to announce."

　At this moment, one of Zhang Er's confidant ministers whispered and winked at Zhang Er.

　"Gu Aiqing, you stay."

　Zhang Er spoke, the other courtiers glanced at the man, and then left the hall.

　After the other officials left, Zhang Er looked at the ancient words below, and asked, "Gu Aiqing, now that everyone else has left, what do you have to say to this king?"

　Gu Yan took a step forward: "Your Majesty, it's still about the people of Qin."

　Zhang Er's eyes lit up when he heard the old saying "Qin people".

　"Gu Aiqing, the people of Qin contacted you again?"

　Zhang Er walked down directly, walked up to Gu Yan, and said eagerly.

　"Back to Your Majesty, no.

　However, when the Qin envoy left last time, he left a contact information for Weichen.

　He said that if the king changes his mind in the future, he can contact them in this way. "

　Gu Yan said with a wry smile.

　It turned out that just half a month ago, Xu Feng sent envoys to Handan to contact Zhang Er.

　Of course, in order to prevent being discovered by Xiang Yu, Xu Feng did not directly send an envoy to meet Zhang Er formally.

　It was through Zhang Er's subordinates, the confidant minister Gu Yan, that he got in touch with Zhang Er indirectly.

　At the same time, the Qin envoy also brought some iron weapons and armors of the Qin army, and sold these special weapons and armors to Zhang Er, and even offered to send troops to support him against Han Xin if necessary.

　As a result, Zhang Er also secretly received the Qin envoy at that time, and even took a fancy to the iron weapons and armor of the Qin people.

　However, for the price Xu Feng offered, he thought it was too expensive, the two parties did not agree on the price, and the deal was not concluded.

　As for asking Qin Jun to send troops to support him, Zhang Er didn't even mention it.

　After all, at that time, Zhang Er was still leading the army to confront Han Xin, and he was not defeated. How could it be possible for Qin Jun to support him.

　How to put it, he is still in Xiang Yu's camp in name at this time.

　Zhang Er would rather offend Xu Feng than Xiang Yu.

　The deal was not concluded, and Zhang Er didn't need the Qin army to send troops. This time, the secret contact between the Qin envoy and Zhang Er was nothing.

　Even, there are not many people who know about it.

　On Zhang Er's side, Gu Yan is the only one who knows.

　Zhang Er must keep it a secret. If Xiang Yu knows that he secretly contacted the Qin people, he will definitely annoy Xiang Yu.

　But today is different, only half a month has passed, the situation Zhang Er is facing now is completely different from half a month ago.

　At this time, if Handan City can be kept and Han Xin is repelled, Zhang Er does not mind making a deal with the Qin people, and even asks the Qin army for support.

　"Gu Aiqing, do you want me to contact the people of Qin and make a deal with them?"

　Zhang Er looked at the old saying and said.

　"Yes, Your Majesty.

　Your Majesty must also be aware of how powerful the iron weapons and armor brought by the Qin people last time were.

　If you can trade these iron weapons and armor from the Qin people, equip them for our soldiers to defend the city.

　It will definitely greatly enhance the morale and combat effectiveness of our soldiers, and better defend Handan City, waiting for the overlord to come to help. "

　Gu Yan waited for Zhang Er and said.

　"Hey!

　Back then, we followed Xiang Yu to attack Qin twice and fought the Qin army many times. The sharp and tough iron weapons in the hands of the Qin army made us suffer a lot.

　The king has also been thinking about building such a weapon and summoned many craftsmen, but none of them succeeded.

　Although those craftsmen can also forge iron weapons, they are too inferior to compare with those of the Qin people.

　Before, if I was not afraid of being discovered by Xiang Yu, and the Qin people asked too high a price, I would have bought it. "

　Zhang Er sighed and said.

　At this time, to be honest, Zhang Er was moved by the proposal of his confidant minister.

　The main reason is that Zhang Er doesn't care much about that side now, as long as he can defend Handan City, it doesn't matter if he makes a deal with the Qin people.

　Even if Xiang Yu found out in the end, as long as he didn't join forces with Qin Jun, Xiang Yu would not do anything to him. Xiang Yu now needs him as an ally to check and balance the sudden rise of Qi King Han Xin.

　"Okay, Gu Aiqing, you agree to your proposal.

　After you go back, immediately find a way to contact the Qin people.

　Let's just say that the king agreed to the price they offered before and was willing to make a deal with them.

　First buy [-] iron weapons and [-] sets of armor, and the king will pay with money and food. "

　After a while, Zhang Er finally made up his mind and said so.

　"No, my lord.

　After Wei Chen went back, he immediately sent someone to do it. "

　After Gu Yan went back, he immediately sent his own son to a grain shop in Handan City, which was the contact point of the Qin people.

　That night, at Gu Yan's mansion, the man who came to visit was the person Xu Feng sent to Handan to deal with Zhang Er.

　"I'm Zheng Qing, I've met Mr. Gu."

　"Are you from Handan?"

　Listening to Zheng Qing's fluent Handan local accent, Gu Yan asked suspiciously.

　"Yes, I am from Handan, and my teacher is Mr. Mangzhu.

　Speaking of which, Mr. Gu and I are still from the same school. "

　Zheng Qing said with a smile.

　"Are you a Confucian student? The teacher is Mr. Mangosteen?"

　After hearing Zheng Qing's words, Gu Yan's eyes widened in disbelief.

　Mr. Mangosteen is a well-known Confucian master in Handan with countless disciples.

　Although Gu Yan is not a student of this Mr. Mangkhut, the teacher and Mr. Mangkhut are considered to be of the same generation, and they are both masters of Confucianism of the same generation.

　"If that's the case, it's not too much for you to call me senior brother."

　"Then Zheng Qing will not be polite, Senior Brother."
