Chapter 46
The mountaintop was surrounded by darkness. Any flame was extremely dazzling in the dark night. Currently, 90% of the Zhao army was concentrated in Changping, and the defense lines in other places were lax. Based on Yun Zong's understanding of the Zhao army, there would only be one battalion of soldiers guarding the border.
The Han Country had been weak all year round, so the Zhao army did not take it to heart. They also did not expect that the Han King would not understand the principle of losing the lips and directly rely on the Qin Country, which seemed to be on par with the Zhao Country.
Hu ~
The mountain wind passed through the forest, and there was the wailing of ghosts and wolves, adding a bit of horror to this moonless night.
"Lieutenant, there are no traces of the Zhao army ahead.“
A scout from the Breaking Ranks walked over to Yun Zong and Zhang Han and said.
"Yes, it's a little hard, and I'm a little awakened.”
Hearing Zhang Han's words, that person nodded."
"Don't worry, Deputy General. We brothers have been well taken care of along the way. Now that we have sufficient strength, we can rest assured.”
"Alright, you may leave. Don't be careless."
"Yes."
After the scout left, Zhang Han looked at Yun Zong, who was holding some pine needles in his mouth, and said softly,"
"Does Lord Lieutenant have any thoughts?”
"Thoughts?"
Yun Zong chewed on the pine needles, feeling the bitterness in his mouth as he shook his head.
"We'll deal with whatever comes our way.”
As he spoke, he looked into the distance at the vast, pitch-black land and said,
"After this Red Spine Ridge is the territory of Zhao, right?”
"Yes."
"The Zhao army has three supply lines, and General Meng is responsible for two. If I were Zhao Kuo, I wouldn't risk Han defecting to transport a large amount of supplies. It was the same for the Wei Kingdom in the south. Thinking about it, he would probably choose to resupply in the middle. It had been two months since the autumn harvest. Li Mu was guarding the border. Since winter, it was the time for the Hu to invade Zhao. Presumably, his border was also extremely tight, and the daily consumption of these 400,000 soldiers was an astronomical figure. Even if Handan had ten granaries, it would definitely be extremely difficult to supply these soldiers. In addition, Yu Lan said that if nothing unexpected happens, it should snow tomorrow…When the first snow falls, all birds will be gone…In order to maintain their combat strength in winter, the soldiers will consume a lot of heat, and their food needs will definitely be greater than in autumn…"
Seeing him suddenly stop talking, Zhang Han was listening seriously and couldn't help but say,"
" Sir??"
"Zhang Han, what do you think will happen if we cut off their three supply lines?”
Zhang Han felt a chill run down his spine as goosebumps rose from his feet to the top of his head.
He said with some difficulty,
"I…don't know."
"Do you not know, or do you not dare to think?"
“……”
Seeing that he was silent, Yun Zong sighed and straightened his body.
"It's nothing more than eating. He would eat everything that could be eaten first, then eat everything that…could not be eaten. In the end…they would either starve to death or risk their lives. Now that Zhao Kuo's army has gathered and is attacking the camp that Great Qin has spent two and a half years building, it will consume even more resources…This is a good opportunity…However, why can't I feel happy?”
Hearing Yun Zong's sigh, Zhang Han forcefully expelled the tragic scene from his mind and said softly to Yun Zong,"
"It's a little…the commandant must be tired.”
"Tired?"
Yun Zong's tone was somewhat bleak.
" I'm indeed tired…I'm really tired…"
"If Daren is really tired…then return to the camp and chat with Yu Lan.”
Suddenly, hearing Zhang Han say this, Yun Zong's mouth twitched. He looked at his subordinates in the darkness."
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
"This…"
Seeing that Yun Zong wasn't angry, Zhang Han became bolder.
"Milord should understand Yu Lan's intentions. The adult was already past twenty years of age. On normal days, he would probably be the father of several children. Although I don't like the Yin-Yang School, I can tell that Yu Lan likes Daren. In this chaotic world, it was much better for a woman to seek a place to settle down than to be a Great Si Ming. What does Milord think?"
"Settle down? Haha…"
For some reason, Zhang Han could hear the sarcasm in Yun Zong's laughter.
However, he didn't understand why Yun Zong would use such a sarcastic laugh.
Unfortunately, since Yun Zong did not say anything, he could not ask.
In the end, Yun Zong let out a long sigh.
"Sigh…Let's go. Go back and rest. Tomorrow morning, gather the army and we will…enter Zhao!”
"Yes, sir!"
Zhang Han nodded and the two of them walked down the mountain.
As soon as he returned to the tent, Yun Zong opened the curtain and saw Yu Lan sitting in his tent. There was a basin of water on the ground in front of her. When she saw Yun Zong appear, she smiled sweetly.
"You're back? Come and soak your feet to relieve your fatigue."
Seeing this, Zhang Han said without thinking,"
"Milord, have a good rest. I will take my leave.”
After saying that, he walked out without looking back.
Yun Zong shook his head helplessly when he saw him running so fast. He looked at the woman with her fair feet in the wooden basin and said,
"If you want to soak your feet, just go back to your tent. Why are you here?”
"Look at what you're saying. If I didn't come, who would boil water for you to wash your feet?”
As she spoke, a red light flashed on Yu Lan's hand. The hand of internal strength that was glowing with blood-red light picked up the earthen jar on the brazier.
He had to admit that this internal strength was really useful.
As long as his brain was flexible enough.
