Chaotic Qin

Chapter 52 Eating Meat

Zhao Ji finally got physical satisfaction again after a full year and a half of pregnancy and childbirth.

She lay in the man's arms with a face like a peach blossom, her fingers rubbing the man's generous chest muscles back and forth, she couldn't help but leaned forward to kiss him, and said softly: "Who are you? How about following me. I can take you away Handan is an aggrieved place."

Zhao Ji said this with a look of disgust.

Although Zhao Guo had already received the news that Qin State was about to attack him, he was actively preparing for the war, and constantly sent envoys to try his best to unite with other vassal states through diplomatic means, but the advantage of the war was still tilted towards Qin State.

Because after the Battle of Changping, Zhao Guo lost the most elite 40 troops.

This figure exceeded a quarter of the total number of troops stationed by Zhao Jun.

Among the 40 troops, even all the cavalry of Zhao State were included.

In other words, when Zhao State completely lost its cavalry, it had completely lost the initiative in war, and it no longer had the ability to take the initiative to attack in the field.

Misfortunes never come singly, Yan State, which is located in the north of Zhao State, stabbed Zhao State from the back when its strength plummeted.

Yan State sent troops to attack Zhao State. Although it failed to pose a threat to Zhao State in the end, it also seriously slowed down Zhao State's preparation for war with Qin State.

But no matter how well prepared Zhao Guo is, it is an indisputable fact that the country's strength is not as good as before.

Zhao Guo had to shrink the front line across the board, implement the strategy of switching from offense to defense, and substituting defense for offense. The army was withdrawn from some unimportant peripheral cities, and all local residents, food, grass, and military supplies were also drawn into Handan City.

As long as all the materials that could not be taken away were burned, Zhao Jun even blocked the river and water source to defend Handan.

Because of this kind of action of fortifying the walls and clearing the wilderness, when Wang Ling led the army of Qin State into the territory of Zhao State, it was like entering a land without people.

The Qin army drove straight all the way, until it was at the foot of Handan City that there was little resistance from Wu'an Pass and Pilao Pass.

In less than a month, they completely eliminated the resistance of these two small cities and surrounded Handan.

But Qin's success only ended here.

Even though they continued to launch fierce attacks, Zhao Guo was facing the danger of ruining the country and family at this time. In addition, remembering the hatred of the Changping Battle, Handan City actually prevented an unimaginable fierce resistance.

Zhao Guo was united as one, and the whole people resisted the war, and they resisted the Qin army's attacks time and time again with the shoulders of the old people and young people.

Within a month, the Qin Army suffered nearly [-] casualties, but Handan City was still impenetrable.

Afterwards, Wang Gan changed his strategy, switched from offense to defense, and started a war of attrition. The people in Handan City were completely dumbfounded.

They are already hungry enough to eat bark for a living!

Although the whole people are struggling against Qin, it has to be said that there are always some people who don't have a sense of national honor and vow to live and die with the country.

This is the case with the man in front of Zhao Ji.

Upon hearing Zhao Ji's words, his eyes lit up immediately, and he said excitedly, "Is this true?"

Zhao Ji smiled complacently, and said coquettishly, "It depends on how well you are telling the truth."

The man leaned close to Zhao Ji's face and kissed him, and hurriedly said, "I'm sure I'll take care of you comfortably."

Zhao Ji hooked her lips when she heard the words, and a charming look appeared on her pretty face that hadn't seen a smile for many days. After kissing the man for a while, she finally remembered to ask his name: "Tell me, who are you?"

"My name is Lai Ai. From now on, I will take care of you comfortably." After the man finished speaking, he changed Zhao Ji's clothes attentively.

He supported Zhao Ji's weak and weak body, and walked back to Lu Buwei's residence through the back door step by step.

Lu Buwei's tolerance for Luqiao has always been very high.

Because he felt that in order for Lu Qiao to give birth to a child safely—even a girl is better than nothing—he could find a chance to escort Zi Chu’s wife and child back to Qin.

This is a huge credit, enough for Lu Buwei to get rid of the low status of a businessman.

However, since Luqiao has been to unclean places, there is no need for Luqiao to live after giving birth.

Lu Buwei hugged the boy in his arms, no matter how he looked at it, he thought it was cute.

He had been holding the baby who still couldn't open his eyes, and sat in the room for a whole day without leaving, so he didn't notice that there was one more servant in Zhao Ji's yard at all.

When the child was full moon, he finally bribed the guards at the gate of Handan again, and successfully dragged his family away from the south gate of Handan.

The rickety ox cart was disturbing, and Zhao Ji sat alone in the rear compartment, in order to prevent her from hurting the son of "Mr. Zi Chu".

She couldn't help raising the curtains to look at Handan City, which was gradually disappearing from sight, with a nostalgic look in her eyes.

"Little beauty, what's wrong with you?" A greasy voice sounded from behind Zhao Ji, and a pair of big hands eagerly opened her skirt and wiped it inside.

Zhao Ji said softly, "How dare you come in."

But she tugged on Lao Ai's belt very cooperatively, and within a few strokes, the two of them were eagerly entangled and started to move.

Speaking of which, Lu Buwei's luck has always been good, just like his vision.

Not long after Lu Buwei left Handan City, Wang Gan, who replaced Wang Ling, began to rectify the extra [-] elite soldiers he brought.

The large amount of food and grass and the urgently needed weapons and medicines brought by Wang Gan instantly calmed down the mood of the Qin soldiers who had spent the terrible winter in Handan City.

"My lord, I swear to take down Handan City!" Wang Gan shouted loudly, and suddenly threw the wine bottle in his hand to the ground, smashing it severely.

The soldiers drank the wine before the battle and shouted loudly: "I will die!"

The sound of roaring spread far into Handan City, just like the proud roar of tigers and wolves before eating.

Wang Gan was not afraid of war.

In fact, as sons of the state of Qin, no matter how old or young they are, they are not afraid of war. This is the fastest way for them to increase their ranks.

But Wang Gan's combat talent is not as good as Bai Qi's. Therefore, the resignation of Lord Wu'an in the Battle of Handan is both an opportunity and a challenge for Wang Gan.

As long as Handan City is captured this time, it will be no problem to add officials to rank!

Even, he was able to leave his name in history, making a thousand-year feat that even Lord Wu An dared not fight.

Wang Qian had the order of King Qin, and he didn't care about casualties at all.

What the Qin army needs now is to attack, attack, and desperately attack crazy!

The letter from Lord Xinling of the State of Wei to Pingyuan that "we will definitely lead the army to come" was intercepted by the State of Qin. Wang Qian knew that Lord Xinling's honest and honest character, as long as he said something, Lord Xinling would never say anything. Back and forth.

If Handan could not be captured before Wei's army arrived, the Three Jins would definitely encircle the Qin army.

At that time, things will become more and more troublesome.

Under such frequent attacks, no matter how firm the will of the Zhao people in Handan City is, they really cannot be compared with the abundant food and well-equipped Qin army under objective conditions.

Time passed day by day, and the "Wei Army" in Lord Xinling's heart never appeared, but Handan was already at the end of its battle.

"What are you going to do? You bastards with no conscience, how dare you steal my child and want to eat it!"

In the city of Handan, the women's screams mixed with crying could be heard far away, and even Wang Gan, who was in the commander's tent, could hear them clearly.

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath of the bloody air, a smile gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth: "We are not far from victory."

Wang Gan said in his heart: Unexpectedly, in my lifetime, I still hope to surpass Lord Wu An in terms of military achievements.

In Xianyang Palace, Qin Zichu held Ying Zheng in his arms and read the slips presented by the lower officials.

In the letter, there are not only the government affairs of various places, but also the battle reports sent back from the front line.

He couldn't bear to look at the news from Wang Gan.

It's a terrible thing to change children and eat them.

... But such a thing is actually right in front of him, it is no longer a history book, but a part of real life.

"Zi Chu, what are you thinking?" King Qin raised his head, saw Qin Zichu staring at the letter in his hand stiffly, and asked casually.

Qin Zichu put it on King Qin's desk, and couldn't help but whispered: "My lord, Zichu has a plan, so that I won't let my Daqin soldiers suffer such painful casualties."

"Oh?" King Qin raised his eyebrows in interest.

He dropped the work in his hand, tapped the table a few times, and asked directly: "Tell me, what is the clever plan?"

Qin Zichu lowered his head, concealing the pity in his eyes, and said softly, "Zhao Kuo, the son of Zhao Guoma Fujun, the lord must have heard of this person."

When the King of Qin heard the word "Zhao Kuo", he immediately showed a sarcastic smile.

He said bluntly: "Of course I know who he is. If it wasn't for his arrogance and arrogance that completely messed up Lian Po's arrangements, I am afraid that Bai Qi would not have wiped out 40 Zhao troops so quickly."

Qin Zichu sighed, and said in a low voice: "Zichu has followed Fan Suixiang to study the history of the country these days, and I have read a short story about him. I think that although he has no general talent, he has the talent of a counselor. Zhao Hui King Wen once asked Ma Fujun to take down Maiqiu, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, with sufficient troops and horses within a month. Zhao Kuo proposed a strategy at that time - to treat prisoners of war generously. He learned from these prisoners that Maiqiu had actually run out of food long ago. They kept throwing food and grass into Maiqiu day by day. In the end, Maiqiu was defeated.”

The King of Qin waved his hand immediately: "This matter is inappropriate. Zhao Guo has a bloody feud with us now. Even if grain and grass are thrown into the city of Handan, they will not open the city gate. This is just to encourage the enemy's strength."

Qin Zichu smiled when he heard the words, and said confidently: "Then, we might as well change this strategy. Set up a big pot in front of the battle, and cook rice, grain and meat continuously. When the time comes, the aroma of the food will float into the city of Handan. It takes too many days to see the effect. Human will can't survive the stomach."

King Qin thought about it for a while, nodded and said: "It's possible. Go, quickly pass Zi Chu's method to Wang Gan, and if it doesn't work, attack again."

Qin Zichu was a little moved by the fact that King Qin accepted his opinion so easily, and the tip of his nose felt slightly sore.

Seeing the red circles around his eyes, King Qin seemed to look nostalgic, and King Qin couldn't help but look around Qin Zichu's thin figure.

He said unhappily: "How did you come up with such a method, did you ever get starved when you were in Zhao country?"

"Of course there is no such thing." Qin Zichu said hastily.

Looking at the time, he immediately bid farewell to King Qin and went back to his yard to receive Fan Sui's lessons.

Nestled in his arms, Ying Zheng suddenly said, "From now on, I will let you eat meat every day."
