Cangxue Dragon City of Great Qin Dynasty
Chapter 70
——Ye Ye shakes the electricity, restlessness does not order, hundreds of rivers boil, mountains and mounds collapse, high banks become valleys, deep valleys become mausoleums, those who mourn the present will not be punished.
Yan Zhi breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that the people behind him were all right several times, and then hurriedly let the soldiers staying in the tent come out together with Li Xinmengtian.
Although they camped on a flat place, if Dilong turned over and rolled around, even if they were on a plain, it would not be safe.
Fortunately, the soldiers reacted quickly enough, and the tents were built strong enough, but a lot of weapons inside fell down, and a few of those who couldn't react were smashed a few times. They patted the dirt on their bodies, stood up and ran with their knives on their shoulders, so for the time being No casualties have been found.
The situation in the army is still good, but it is not necessarily the place where the houses are densely packed in the city, especially now, the ground with some cracks is still trembling.
Yan Zhi, who had never experienced an earthquake before, saw that order had been restored in the army, heaved a sigh of relief and hurried back to Ying Zheng, "Are you all right?"
"Nothing, don't be afraid." He replied in a low voice, seeing that Yan Zhi was obviously frightened, Ying Zheng in turn comforted the man, and then said with deep meaning, "This earthquake came at the right time .”
The sound of thunder, followed by an earthquake, means that the king has failed in his duty, which is a punishment from heaven.
Political affairs are relaxed, rewards and punishments are poor, and hundreds of officials are abolished, so chaos is called. In such a good situation for attack, the state of Zhao will surely perish.
Before realizing the possible consequences of the earthquake, after confirming that Ying Zheng was fine, Yan Zhi called Zhang Han to stay here and then went to other places to help.
Letting Yan Zhi go to other places, Ying Zheng pursed his lips, with a chill in his eyes.
In the past, when the three rivers trembled, Bo Yang's father said that the general of Zhou would perish, and the spirit of heaven and earth would not lose its order; if it was out of order, the people would be in chaos.The sun is falling and cannot come out, and the yin is pressing and cannot evaporate, so there are earthquakes.The real earthquake in Sanchuan today is because Yang lost its place and filled Yin.
The yin and yang qi between the heaven and the earth are balanced and orderly; if it is in disorder, the yang qi will sink and cannot come out, and the yin qi will oppress it so that it cannot rise, so there will be earthquakes, the yang qi will not be in its original position, and it will be for the rest of the world. The suppression of Yin Qi is a sign that the Zhou Dynasty is about to perish.
If the yang energy is not above but below the yin energy, the water source must be blocked. Once the water source is blocked, the land will not be irrigated, the people will not be able to cultivate, and the country will definitely perish.
If the Yishui and Luoshuis dry up, Xia will perish; if the Yellow River dries up, Shang will perish; if the three rivers dry up, Zhou will surely perish.
Sure enough, the three rivers dried up afterwards, and Qishan, the birthplace of the Zhou Dynasty, also collapsed.
Today's king of Zhao is fatuous and his ministers have no way. Doesn't this earthquake mean that Zhao will also perish?
This time, they divided their troops into two groups. One group went out of Hanoi to attack Yecheng in the north, and after breaking through the southern Great Wall, they came directly to Handan.
And the other way, he personally followed the army, went straight out of Shangdang, crossed the Taihang Mountains, attacked Jingxing Pass, and also came towards Handan.
Unexpectedly, God gave him such a big gift just after the two armies joined forces.
......
It was the first time that Zhang Han was so close to their king, his face turned red with excitement, but he didn't dare to get too close seeing their king's indifferent expression, he just stood beside him with his back straight, his heart pounding. stop.
Damn, he was able to guard the king so close. It really benefits a lot from being by the commander's side, much more reliable than the deputy commander.
Glancing at the young black-armored soldier beside him, Ying Zheng nodded, "Follow the widow."
There was not much damage in the open area outside the city, and the earthquake stopped after a while, so there shouldn't be any big movements.
Qin Junzhong reacted quickly, and there was no such good luck in the city.
Zhao Qian was in the palace, and after a while the mountain shook, he was so frightened that he couldn't even sit up. If the center of the earthquake was not in Handan, and the palace's palace was abnormally guarded, even if the house collapsed, he could only watch helplessly. buried below.
The royal palace is like this, but the people with simple houses outside are not so lucky. Even if many people found something wrong and ran out quickly, many houses collapsed, not to mention those who did not escape.
After three consecutive years of earthquakes, even if Zhao Qian refused to let people talk about it, he couldn't escape the abuse from the top and bottom.
In the past two years, the Jinyang Earthquake caused numerous casualties. Last year, the earth dragon turned over, and even the north was not at peace. From the west of Lexu, to the north of Pingyang, houses collapsed, countless people died, and the good land split open. A large seam 130 steps wide from east to west.
This is just a natural disaster. If it is just like this, the people can still struggle to survive. The most terrible thing is a man-made disaster.
Xiangbang Guo Kai disregarded public grievances and searched for the people's fat and anointment. He insisted on building a straight road between Pingyi and Zhongmou.
The previous catastrophes have not been slowed down, and now there is another earthquake, and they have encountered natural and man-made disasters again and again.
Blessings never come together, but misfortunes never come singly. After the earthquake, there will be famine. Most of the cities have almost no food, and the living can only do so.
——Zhao is the name, Qin is the smile, thinking that they don't believe it, and they look down on the earth.
The refugees didn't have time to make arrangements, the Qin army was coming aggressively, and there were no generals available in the country, what else could they think about?
The turbulent ground under his feet finally calmed down, Zhao Qian pushed away the servant who came to help him and shouted loudly, "Come here, let Guo Kai hurry to the palace."
The flustered Zhao Qian walked back and forth several times, clenching his fists and muttering "God's benevolence" and "ancestor's blessing" in a low voice, and he didn't calm down until someone came outside.
The person who came was not Guo Kai, but Han Cang who had been staying in the palace these days.
His expression was no better than Zhao Qian's. As soon as Han Cang came in, he didn't bother to salute and said directly, "Your Majesty, Qin's reinforcements have passed Jingxing Pass, and now they have joined Li Xin outside. Handan...is in danger. Yeah..."
"what?!"
It was dark for a while, Zhao Qian held on to the table and tried his best to prevent himself from passing out. At this time, he was even more at a loss as to what to do.
Jingxing Pass is located in a difficult terrain, known as the Great Pass of the World, and it is an important passage linking the east and west ends of Taihang Mountain.
The fifth Xing of the Taihang Eight Xings, and the sixth Xing of the Nine Fortresses in the world, once they break through the Jingxing Pass, the Qin army will be able to drive straight into Handan.
Although Handan is now surrounded by the Qin army, if the letter for help is sent out, in case Li Mu brings troops back to help, Handan's crisis can be solved.
But now that Qin's reinforcements have arrived, hundreds of thousands of troops are standing outside, even if Li Mu returns, there is absolutely no possibility of saving Handan.
As if the excitement wasn't enough, Han Cang took a step back, and then said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, among the reinforcements from the Qin State, the King of Qin has arrived in person."
"King Qin...is here in person?" His face completely lost color, Zhao Qian slumped beside the table, "What should I do?"
He knew Zhao Zheng, he looked taciturn and difficult to get along with, but in fact he was even more difficult to get along with. Although he was not familiar with that person, he was familiar with other noble children of the same age in Handan.
When they were hostages in Handan, they would only keep a straight face, and they would not fight back when they were bullied, but the bully would definitely suffer behind their backs. Even if they knew that Zhao Zheng was behind it, they could only scold without evidence. Just two sentences.
Now that Zhao Zheng came here in person, did he come to avenge the revenge he had when he was young?
A dim light flashed across his eyes, and Han Cang raised his head and looked at Zhao Qian in a panic, "Your Majesty, open the city gate and surrender."
Zhao Qian, who had no opinion, was stunned for a while, unable to think of any good way, he hesitated and nodded.
For now, the only way to go is to surrender.
Perhaps Ying Zheng continued to leave Handan to him because of his initiative to surrender.
Thinking of this, Zhao Qian's panic faded a little, but his trembling hands supported the table a few times, but he didn't let himself stand up.
Just at this time, Guo Kai, who was urgently called over, finally arrived.
The city was in chaos right now, and as Prime Minister, it was his job to appease the victims, even though he didn't think the lives of those untouchables were so important.
After hastily saluting, looking at Han Cang standing beside him, Guo Kai's expression remained unchanged, he just described the current situation in the city, emphasizing the chaos of the people and the fatigue of the officials in the city.
After finishing speaking, seeing their king's face darken, and seeing Han Cang's eyes again, Guo Kai bowed to salute again, and then brought up the matter of asking for surrender.
Although the expelled people have not returned yet, based on the previous few contacts, the treatment in Qin State will not be too bad in the future.
He is the prime minister of a country, even if he can't reach the high position of prime minister after entering Qin Dynasty, a guest minister is still indispensable.
With so many years of savings, he can live freely wherever he is.
The matter of requesting surrender has been mentioned in my ears not only once or twice these days, Zhao Qian has no intention of resisting, he has already told Han Cang just now, and now that Guo Kai mentions it again, he is too lazy to bother.
"In this case, this matter will be handled by the two of you."
Years after year of natural disasters, every time he said it was his fault, and he will not be the king of Zhao in the future. Let's see what they say if the earthquake continues.
Could it be possible to scold Zhao Zheng like a dog, and then follow him to restore the country of Zhao?
That said, it seems like a good idea.
He waved his hands to let everyone go out, not sure if the earthquake would continue later, Zhao Qian asked people to set up a simple bed in the courtyard outside, hugged a beautiful maid and collapsed there, nothing like just now The king who lost his country.
Looking unfamiliar in the hall, Guo Kai and Han Cang looked at each other after they came out, got on the carriage and arrived at an unremarkable house one after the other.
After getting off the carriage, he shook his sleeves. Han Cang frowned and looked at the courtyard that had been left undisturbed for a long time.
"Is there a response from outside?"
The two of them are now grasshoppers on the same rope, and the ministers of the court and the central government are all headed by them. If even they lose their minds, the city of Handan will be a mess.
Now that the king is said to surrender, what is the mess in the city? Han Cang still understands that he must be useful in order to show his value.
I heard that the king of Qin is tall, tall and handsome, he is not only a little stronger than the king of Zhao, but now he doesn't even have a queen, so I don't know if there is some hidden disease.
It would be a pity if there is a hidden disease, but if not, it will give him another way.
Confident about his appearance, Han Cang looked at Guo Kai, who was beside him with fat, and sneered and stood a little further away.
Knowing what kind of virtue this person is, Guo Kai twitched the corners of his mouth, with a gloomy look on his face, but he finally thought that now is not the time to fall out, so he suppressed his anger and spoke out well.
"I haven't responded yet, but today's sudden earthquake, I'm afraid the Qin army outside is also in chaos, and I don't have the energy to take care of it."
Nodding his head indifferently, Han Cang stretched his neck and asked, "King Qin is in the army outside the city, is it true or not?"
Although he had sworn to Zhao Qian before, the news had only just come from the bottom. Before he had time to confirm the authenticity, the mountains were shaken for a while, and he had no chance to go out to confirm it afterwards.
This person's news has always been better than his. Judging from his appearance, he must have got some news again.
Listening to the servant who was waiting for him suddenly asked about the King of Qin, Guo Kai narrowed his eyes, and then suddenly realized, "The King of Qin is indeed in the army, but everyone in the world knows that the King of Qin is not good at sex, just you... still count Alright..."
Let's not talk about whether King Qin likes men or not, even if he can accept it, you, Han Cang, an old guy who has been slept with by countless people, would like to join him, so please show up early.
"How do you know if you don't try?" Han Cang was quite confident in himself as he sneered at Guo Kai's words.
I have never heard that King Qin likes men, but I have never heard that King Qin does not like men. Men in this world have some thoughts that outsiders can't explain clearly. Knowing the benefits of this is inseparable. Look at Zhao Wangqian today I don't know.
Looking at Han Cang who was rushing to climb the bed with a green face, Guo Kai endured the discomfort in his heart and said again, "Do whatever you like, just don't drag the old man to die with you."
"Lord Xiangbang, don't worry, you know who I am, Han Cang." He answered the sentence without haste, and seeing someone coming from outside, Han Cang and Guo Kai no longer took advantage of words, turned around and turned towards the person who had just arrived. on people coming in from outside.
Yao Jia, who looked rather inexplicable, glanced at Han Cang indiscriminately, and then cupped his hands at Guo Kai, "Mr. Guo."
"My lord Yao, I don't know what the king's attitude is now?" Guo Kai asked with a smile on his face, turning away from Han Cang.
This person is an important minister of the Qin State, and if he came here in person today, he is afraid that things will be settled.
"Guo Xiang, don't worry, the king has a word, as long as Kaesong voluntarily asks you to surrender, you will not be treated badly." results.
He doesn't know whether to grant an official or not. If the person next to him really hits his idea on their king, he may not be able to live.
Maybe something happened during the coronation ceremony, even the grand master didn't dare to say anything about the king's affairs, this person desperately wanted to get in front of the king, maybe he was looking for death.
God knows how many men and women have been killed because of wrong intentions these years. This is because they are used to being arrogant in Zhao State, thinking that they will be the same as before in Qin State?
Sigh, I'd better go back quickly and remind the king, it will be bad if I really see the right eye.
He spoke to these two people again, and then took advantage of the chaos to spread the news out of the city.
Guo Kai has a way to send the lobbyists out of the city, but he can't do it. Before Qin really takes over Handan, he can't take it lightly at any time.
But people can't get out, but news can indeed get out.
People who often travel around in various countries always have a few tricks to pass on news, not to mention that he is not the only person who works for the King of Qin in Handan City.
The farther away from the palace, the more obvious the crying of the surrounding people. Although this earthquake was not too serious compared with the previous two, it was like adding insult to injury to these people who could hardly survive the hardships.
Last year, many people died of starvation due to lack of crops in the fields. It was better in Handan. Although the imperial court provided less food for disaster relief, they could survive for a while. Those places far away from Handan were even more difficult.
Officials who think about the people in their hearts, unless they have surplus food in their families to help them out, otherwise, if they only think about the king's order from Handan to open the warehouse that day, then there is really no hope.
Crying and yelling in his ears, Yao Jia kept his expression unchanged and dodged the people behind him, then quickened his pace and came to a dilapidated courtyard that was barely destroyed by the earthquake.
He wrote the news of the past two days on the juan cloth, and when the cloth was dry, Yao Jia grabbed a pigeon from the pigeon coop in the yard, tied the cloth to it and threw it out with a wave.
Carrier pigeons are precious, and he can't cultivate them in a short time, so these pigeons are ordinary pigeons, but as long as they can fly out of the city, he doesn't have to worry about the rest?
Hundreds of thousands of troops are guarding outside, and the pigeons will not have the opportunity to fly to other places.
These days, he used this method to communicate with Li Xin outside. Looking at the messy scene around him, Yao Jia took the last pigeon out of the cage, touched its soft feathers, and then turned and went into the kitchen.
Anyway, I won't need it in the future, so I just use it to make a soup.
Yao Jia had full confidence in the pigeon that flew outside. Although there were many guards on the city wall of Handan, everyone was in a panic all day long. He just stared at the soldiers and horses outside and ignored the birds flying overhead.
The bows and crossbows of their Qin State are famous all over the world, as long as this pigeon appears in sight, there is no reason for it to fly farther.
It doesn't matter if you don't know the way, as long as the generals outside know the pigeons, that's enough.
That night, the city gates of Handan were opened wide, and Xiangbang Guo Kai personally came out overnight to deliver the letter of surrender, said a basket full of flattering words, and then returned to the city intact.
Watching Guo Kai leave with a half smile but not a smile, Li Xin suddenly remembered that there were still a few people detained here. Although this person didn't mention it, he didn't have the idea of wasting food for nothing.
Asking people to send the people who were detained before, Li Xin took the pigeons sent by his subordinates, grinned and headed towards the big tent.
At this time, the letter came out, which probably meant that this person finally fooled King Zhao into surrendering.
In the camp, Ying Zheng, who was holding a roll of bamboo slips and watching after the earthquake had been dealt with, frowned involuntarily when Li Xin came in with a blood-stained pigeon.
"Your Majesty, there is news from the city."
After realizing that their king frowned, he hid the pigeon behind him, and with a smirk, Li Xin handed over the juan cloth he had taken from the pigeon's leg, with an inexplicable expression on his face.
I don't know why, looking at Li Xin's weird eyes, Ying Zheng frowned even tighter, and after reading what was written on it, his face turned frosty.
The joints turned white and there was silence for a while, Ying Zheng threw Juan Bu into the brazier next to him, then raised his eyes to look at Li Xin as if he were dead.
Finally realizing that he was being angered, Li Xin cursed secretly for not having a long memory, and then honestly lowered his head and dared not look directly into the eyes of their king.
This is not the first time this kind of thing has happened, he should have left immediately after passing the news, isn't it safe to stay here and wait to be angered?
However, being remembered by an old man, the king's reputation of being cruel is not far enough. If the people in Handan are like the officials in Xianyang, they dare not make a sound after mentioning the king. Let's see who dares to say this again thought.
The king of their family got angry, it was really a million corpses, bleeding and floating.
The atmosphere in the small camp gradually froze. Li Xin, who didn't dare to move, looked down at his toes, and demonstrated with practical actions what a real atmosphere is.
Yan Zhi, who asked someone to come in to report and then walked in, was about to speak, but paused after seeing the atmosphere between the two.
So stiff, they were arguing just now?
Li Xin has a bad temper, and he will never hold back when he disagrees with others on military affairs. Although I don't know if he will be so bold as to talk back to the king directly, but looking at the current situation, the two people will definitely have an affair just now. what.
Not knowing whether he should speak or not, Yan Zhi opened his mouth and gestured behind him, or should he go out first and wait for their affairs to be dealt with before coming back?
Taking a deep breath, Ying Zheng closed his eyes, and it took a while to suppress the raging killing intent in his heart.
"go out--"
Digging a hole for himself, Li Xin, who was about to cry without tears, was finally relieved when he heard this sentence, he responded loudly, and then quickly left the tent, as if there was a ghost chasing him behind.
Unknown, seeing Li Xin running like a rabbit, Yan Zhi withdrew his gaze and looked at Ying Zheng who was sitting next to him. He couldn't help but asked, "What's wrong?"
The atmosphere that had eased just now froze again, Ying Zhengding took a look at Yan Zhi, and then said two words one by one, "It's nothing."
How could there be nothing like this.
He whispered something from the bottom of his heart, since this person didn't want to talk about it, Yan Zhi didn't mean to break the casserole and ask the bottom line, he would find out after asking Li Xin later, what else could be the big deal?
Shaking his head and putting the matter aside, Yan Zhi put Mo Dao behind him and explained, "There was something strange at the east gate just now. The soldiers went to check and brought back a person."
Seeing that Yan Zhi was not entangled with the matter just now, Ying Zheng felt a little relieved, stretched out his hand and rubbed the center of his brows, and asked casually, "Who is it?"
"The official in Handan City, who calls himself Han Cang, is a close servant of the King of Zhao. According to him, he has something important to say to the King when he comes out this time."
Just as Guo Kai returned to Handan City, another servant of the King of Zhao came here. It seems that there are not a few people around Zhao Qian who have different intentions, and he really failed as a king.
Not noticing that the faces of the people next to him darkened when they heard this name, Yan Zhi asked immediately after finishing speaking, "Do you want to meet?"
King Qin gritted his teeth with a violent storm in his eyes, "No, I dragged it out and chopped off the sacrificial flag!"
The author says:
The anti-theft chapter is another column of Tian Xing Jiu Ge colleagues, the first one is it, interested little cutie can go and have a look.
ps. It's not dark yet, I firmly believe it's still afternoon, the groundhog is screaming! ! ! !
Yan Zhi breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that the people behind him were all right several times, and then hurriedly let the soldiers staying in the tent come out together with Li Xinmengtian.
Although they camped on a flat place, if Dilong turned over and rolled around, even if they were on a plain, it would not be safe.
Fortunately, the soldiers reacted quickly enough, and the tents were built strong enough, but a lot of weapons inside fell down, and a few of those who couldn't react were smashed a few times. They patted the dirt on their bodies, stood up and ran with their knives on their shoulders, so for the time being No casualties have been found.
The situation in the army is still good, but it is not necessarily the place where the houses are densely packed in the city, especially now, the ground with some cracks is still trembling.
Yan Zhi, who had never experienced an earthquake before, saw that order had been restored in the army, heaved a sigh of relief and hurried back to Ying Zheng, "Are you all right?"
"Nothing, don't be afraid." He replied in a low voice, seeing that Yan Zhi was obviously frightened, Ying Zheng in turn comforted the man, and then said with deep meaning, "This earthquake came at the right time .”
The sound of thunder, followed by an earthquake, means that the king has failed in his duty, which is a punishment from heaven.
Political affairs are relaxed, rewards and punishments are poor, and hundreds of officials are abolished, so chaos is called. In such a good situation for attack, the state of Zhao will surely perish.
Before realizing the possible consequences of the earthquake, after confirming that Ying Zheng was fine, Yan Zhi called Zhang Han to stay here and then went to other places to help.
Letting Yan Zhi go to other places, Ying Zheng pursed his lips, with a chill in his eyes.

The suppression of Yin Qi is a sign that the Zhou Dynasty is about to perish.
If the yang energy is not above but below the yin energy, the water source must be blocked. Once the water source is blocked, the land will not be irrigated, the people will not be able to cultivate, and the country will definitely perish.
If the Yishui and Luoshuis dry up, Xia will perish; if the Yellow River dries up, Shang will perish; if the three rivers dry up, Zhou will surely perish.

This time, they divided their troops into two groups. One group went out of Hanoi to attack Yecheng in the north, and after breaking through the southern Great Wall, they came directly to Handan.
And the other way, he personally followed the army, went straight out of Shangdang, crossed the Taihang Mountains, attacked Jingxing Pass, and also came towards Handan.
Unexpectedly, God gave him such a big gift just after the two armies joined forces.
......
It was the first time that Zhang Han was so close to their king, his face turned red with excitement, but he didn't dare to get too close seeing their king's indifferent expression, he just stood beside him with his back straight, his heart pounding. stop.
Damn, he was able to guard the king so close. It really benefits a lot from being by the commander's side, much more reliable than the deputy commander.
Glancing at the young black-armored soldier beside him, Ying Zheng nodded, "Follow the widow."
There was not much damage in the open area outside the city, and the earthquake stopped after a while, so there shouldn't be any big movements.
Qin Junzhong reacted quickly, and there was no such good luck in the city.

Blessings never come together, but misfortunes never come singly. After the earthquake, there will be famine. Most of the cities have almost no food, and the living can only do so.
——Zhao is the name, Qin is the smile, thinking that they don't believe it, and they look down on the earth.
The refugees didn't have time to make arrangements, the Qin army was coming aggressively, and there were no generals available in the country, what else could they think about?
The turbulent ground under his feet finally calmed down, Zhao Qian pushed away the servant who came to help him and shouted loudly, "Come here, let Guo Kai hurry to the palace."
The flustered Zhao Qian walked back and forth several times, clenching his fists and muttering "God's benevolence" and "ancestor's blessing" in a low voice, and he didn't calm down until someone came outside.
The person who came was not Guo Kai, but Han Cang who had been staying in the palace these days.
His expression was no better than Zhao Qian's. As soon as Han Cang came in, he didn't bother to salute and said directly, "Your Majesty, Qin's reinforcements have passed Jingxing Pass, and now they have joined Li Xin outside. Handan...is in danger. Yeah..."
"what?!"
It was dark for a while, Zhao Qian held on to the table and tried his best to prevent himself from passing out. At this time, he was even more at a loss as to what to do.
Jingxing Pass is located in a difficult terrain, known as the Great Pass of the World, and it is an important passage linking the east and west ends of Taihang Mountain.
The fifth Xing of the Taihang Eight Xings, and the sixth Xing of the Nine Fortresses in the world, once they break through the Jingxing Pass, the Qin army will be able to drive straight into Handan.

Years after year of natural disasters, every time he said it was his fault, and he will not be the king of Zhao in the future. Let's see what they say if the earthquake continues.
Could it be possible to scold Zhao Zheng like a dog, and then follow him to restore the country of Zhao?
That said, it seems like a good idea.
He waved his hands to let everyone go out, not sure if the earthquake would continue later, Zhao Qian asked people to set up a simple bed in the courtyard outside, hugged a beautiful maid and collapsed there, nothing like just now The king who lost his country.
Looking unfamiliar in the hall, Guo Kai and Han Cang looked at each other after they came out, got on the carriage and arrived at an unremarkable house one after the other.
After getting off the carriage, he shook his sleeves. Han Cang frowned and looked at the courtyard that had been left undisturbed for a long time.
"Is there a response from outside?"
The two of them are now grasshoppers on the same rope, and the ministers of the court and the central government are all headed by them. If even they lose their minds, the city of Handan will be a mess.
Now that the king is said to surrender, what is the mess in the city? Han Cang still understands that he must be useful in order to show his value.
I heard that the king of Qin is tall, tall and handsome, he is not only a little stronger than the king of Zhao, but now he doesn't even have a queen, so I don't know if there is some hidden disease.
It would be a pity if there is a hidden disease, but if not, it will give him another way.
Confident about his appearance, Han Cang looked at Guo Kai, who was beside him with fat, and sneered and stood a little further away.
Knowing what kind of virtue this person is, Guo Kai twitched the corners of his mouth, with a gloomy look on his face, but he finally thought that now is not the time to fall out, so he suppressed his anger and spoke out well.
"I haven't responded yet, but today's sudden earthquake, I'm afraid the Qin army outside is also in chaos, and I don't have the energy to take care of it."
Nodding his head indifferently, Han Cang stretched his neck and asked, "King Qin is in the army outside the city, is it true or not?"
Although he had sworn to Zhao Qian before, the news had only just come from the bottom. Before he had time to confirm the authenticity, the mountains were shaken for a while, and he had no chance to go out to confirm it afterwards.
This person's news has always been better than his. Judging from his appearance, he must have got some news again.
Listening to the servant who was waiting for him suddenly asked about the King of Qin, Guo Kai narrowed his eyes, and then suddenly realized, "The King of Qin is indeed in the army, but everyone in the world knows that the King of Qin is not good at sex, just you... still count Alright..."
Let's not talk about whether King Qin likes men or not, even if he can accept it, you, Han Cang, an old guy who has been slept with by countless people, would like to join him, so please show up early.
"How do you know if you don't try?" Han Cang was quite confident in himself as he sneered at Guo Kai's words.
I have never heard that King Qin likes men, but I have never heard that King Qin does not like men. Men in this world have some thoughts that outsiders can't explain clearly. Knowing the benefits of this is inseparable. Look at Zhao Wangqian today I don't know.
Looking at Han Cang who was rushing to climb the bed with a green face, Guo Kai endured the discomfort in his heart and said again, "Do whatever you like, just don't drag the old man to die with you."
"Lord Xiangbang, don't worry, you know who I am, Han Cang." He answered the sentence without haste, and seeing someone coming from outside, Han Cang and Guo Kai no longer took advantage of words, turned around and turned towards the person who had just arrived. on people coming in from outside.
Yao Jia, who looked rather inexplicable, glanced at Han Cang indiscriminately, and then cupped his hands at Guo Kai, "Mr. Guo."
"My lord Yao, I don't know what the king's attitude is now?" Guo Kai asked with a smile on his face, turning away from Han Cang.
This person is an important minister of the Qin State, and if he came here in person today, he is afraid that things will be settled.
"Guo Xiang, don't worry, the king has a word, as long as Kaesong voluntarily asks you to surrender, you will not be treated badly." results.
He doesn't know whether to grant an official or not. If the person next to him really hits his idea on their king, he may not be able to live.
Maybe something happened during the coronation ceremony, even the grand master didn't dare to say anything about the king's affairs, this person desperately wanted to get in front of the king, maybe he was looking for death.
God knows how many men and women have been killed because of wrong intentions these years. This is because they are used to being arrogant in Zhao State, thinking that they will be the same as before in Qin State?
Sigh, I'd better go back quickly and remind the king, it will be bad if I really see the right eye.
He spoke to these two people again, and then took advantage of the chaos to spread the news out of the city.
Guo Kai has a way to send the lobbyists out of the city, but he can't do it. Before Qin really takes over Handan, he can't take it lightly at any time.
But people can't get out, but news can indeed get out.
People who often travel around in various countries always have a few tricks to pass on news, not to mention that he is not the only person who works for the King of Qin in Handan City.
The farther away from the palace, the more obvious the crying of the surrounding people. Although this earthquake was not too serious compared with the previous two, it was like adding insult to injury to these people who could hardly survive the hardships.
Last year, many people died of starvation due to lack of crops in the fields. It was better in Handan. Although the imperial court provided less food for disaster relief, they could survive for a while. Those places far away from Handan were even more difficult.
Officials who think about the people in their hearts, unless they have surplus food in their families to help them out, otherwise, if they only think about the king's order from Handan to open the warehouse that day, then there is really no hope.
Crying and yelling in his ears, Yao Jia kept his expression unchanged and dodged the people behind him, then quickened his pace and came to a dilapidated courtyard that was barely destroyed by the earthquake.
He wrote the news of the past two days on the juan cloth, and when the cloth was dry, Yao Jia grabbed a pigeon from the pigeon coop in the yard, tied the cloth to it and threw it out with a wave.
Carrier pigeons are precious, and he can't cultivate them in a short time, so these pigeons are ordinary pigeons, but as long as they can fly out of the city, he doesn't have to worry about the rest?
Hundreds of thousands of troops are guarding outside, and the pigeons will not have the opportunity to fly to other places.
These days, he used this method to communicate with Li Xin outside. Looking at the messy scene around him, Yao Jia took the last pigeon out of the cage, touched its soft feathers, and then turned and went into the kitchen.
Anyway, I won't need it in the future, so I just use it to make a soup.
Yao Jia had full confidence in the pigeon that flew outside. Although there were many guards on the city wall of Handan, everyone was in a panic all day long. He just stared at the soldiers and horses outside and ignored the birds flying overhead.
The bows and crossbows of their Qin State are famous all over the world, as long as this pigeon appears in sight, there is no reason for it to fly farther.
It doesn't matter if you don't know the way, as long as the generals outside know the pigeons, that's enough.
That night, the city gates of Handan were opened wide, and Xiangbang Guo Kai personally came out overnight to deliver the letter of surrender, said a basket full of flattering words, and then returned to the city intact.
Watching Guo Kai leave with a half smile but not a smile, Li Xin suddenly remembered that there were still a few people detained here. Although this person didn't mention it, he didn't have the idea of wasting food for nothing.
Asking people to send the people who were detained before, Li Xin took the pigeons sent by his subordinates, grinned and headed towards the big tent.
At this time, the letter came out, which probably meant that this person finally fooled King Zhao into surrendering.
In the camp, Ying Zheng, who was holding a roll of bamboo slips and watching after the earthquake had been dealt with, frowned involuntarily when Li Xin came in with a blood-stained pigeon.
"Your Majesty, there is news from the city."
After realizing that their king frowned, he hid the pigeon behind him, and with a smirk, Li Xin handed over the juan cloth he had taken from the pigeon's leg, with an inexplicable expression on his face.
I don't know why, looking at Li Xin's weird eyes, Ying Zheng frowned even tighter, and after reading what was written on it, his face turned frosty.
The joints turned white and there was silence for a while, Ying Zheng threw Juan Bu into the brazier next to him, then raised his eyes to look at Li Xin as if he were dead.
Finally realizing that he was being angered, Li Xin cursed secretly for not having a long memory, and then honestly lowered his head and dared not look directly into the eyes of their king.
This is not the first time this kind of thing has happened, he should have left immediately after passing the news, isn't it safe to stay here and wait to be angered?
However, being remembered by an old man, the king's reputation of being cruel is not far enough. If the people in Handan are like the officials in Xianyang, they dare not make a sound after mentioning the king. Let's see who dares to say this again thought.
The king of their family got angry, it was really a million corpses, bleeding and floating.
The atmosphere in the small camp gradually froze. Li Xin, who didn't dare to move, looked down at his toes, and demonstrated with practical actions what a real atmosphere is.
Yan Zhi, who asked someone to come in to report and then walked in, was about to speak, but paused after seeing the atmosphere between the two.
So stiff, they were arguing just now?
Li Xin has a bad temper, and he will never hold back when he disagrees with others on military affairs. Although I don't know if he will be so bold as to talk back to the king directly, but looking at the current situation, the two people will definitely have an affair just now. what.
Not knowing whether he should speak or not, Yan Zhi opened his mouth and gestured behind him, or should he go out first and wait for their affairs to be dealt with before coming back?
Taking a deep breath, Ying Zheng closed his eyes, and it took a while to suppress the raging killing intent in his heart.
"go out--"
Digging a hole for himself, Li Xin, who was about to cry without tears, was finally relieved when he heard this sentence, he responded loudly, and then quickly left the tent, as if there was a ghost chasing him behind.
Unknown, seeing Li Xin running like a rabbit, Yan Zhi withdrew his gaze and looked at Ying Zheng who was sitting next to him. He couldn't help but asked, "What's wrong?"
The atmosphere that had eased just now froze again, Ying Zhengding took a look at Yan Zhi, and then said two words one by one, "It's nothing."
How could there be nothing like this.
He whispered something from the bottom of his heart, since this person didn't want to talk about it, Yan Zhi didn't mean to break the casserole and ask the bottom line, he would find out after asking Li Xin later, what else could be the big deal?
Shaking his head and putting the matter aside, Yan Zhi put Mo Dao behind him and explained, "There was something strange at the east gate just now. The soldiers went to check and brought back a person."
Seeing that Yan Zhi was not entangled with the matter just now, Ying Zheng felt a little relieved, stretched out his hand and rubbed the center of his brows, and asked casually, "Who is it?"
"The official in Handan City, who calls himself Han Cang, is a close servant of the King of Zhao. According to him, he has something important to say to the King when he comes out this time."
Just as Guo Kai returned to Handan City, another servant of the King of Zhao came here. It seems that there are not a few people around Zhao Qian who have different intentions, and he really failed as a king.
Not noticing that the faces of the people next to him darkened when they heard this name, Yan Zhi asked immediately after finishing speaking, "Do you want to meet?"
King Qin gritted his teeth with a violent storm in his eyes, "No, I dragged it out and chopped off the sacrificial flag!"
