Thirty miles out of Yi City, between two valleys, Xiao Xiao suddenly saw about two thousand Qin soldiers walking towards them.
"Form the formation!"
Xiao Xiao ordered.
Although the flag of the other party was a black knight with the word 'Qin' written on it. However, he had yet to confirm his identity. The rations of the hundreds of carriages behind him were related to the life and death of the soldiers at the front line. Xiao Xiao did not dare to be careless.
Xiao Xiao ordered. More than 2,000 soldiers instantly formed a mandarin duck formation. They were on guard against the two thousand men in front of them.
The two thousand Qin soldiers stopped in their tracks when they saw this.
The leader of the group rode on a warhorse. He brought ten cavalrymen with him. He continued to ride his horse.
A moment later, they were about to arrive. Xiao Xiao rode out.
In the end, the two sides met around thirty steps away from the mandarin duck formation.
......
"General Xiao, we have been ordered to pick up the rations!”
The leader of the warhorses was a general who was about 27 or 28 years old. He took a piece of cloth from the guard. He handed it to Xiao Xiao.
Xiao Xiao took it and glanced at it. There was indeed General Shi's seal on it.
"Since General Shi ordered me to transport the grain, why did you only send it to the border?”
Xiao Xiao looked at Fang Bu and asked in confusion.
Did they even deliver half of the rations? Why had he never heard of it?
However, this commander's seal was indeed not fake.
....
The soldiers behind Xiao Xiao were also dumbfounded.
There were even provisions that were sent halfway!!!
"This is General Shi's order. General Xiao wants to go against it?”
The general did not answer Xiao Xiao's question. Instead, he spoke indifferently.
In an instant, Xiao Xiao, who was still looking down at the military order, did not move.
"You!"
"What are you talking about?"
.....
In the distance, Zhao Kun and the others saw the disdain in the general's eyes and were furious.
Not only Zhao Kun and those who had gone through life and death with Xiao Xiao, even the new recruits saw this scene and glared at him.
In the military camp.
The captain taught them how to use swords, spears, and bows. She would often care about them.
Now that he saw the captain being looked down upon. It was as if he had been humiliated.
"Captain Xiao, how did you lead the troops?”
The general looked at Zhao Kun and the others. He said to Xiao Xiao, who had his head lowered and was silent.
Xiao Xiao, who had been silent all this while, slowly raised his head. His gaze moved from bottom to top and finally landed on the general's face.
"What do you want?"
"What do you want?"
...
When the ten cavalrymen saw Xiao Xiao staring at their general, they drew their swords warily.
However, the general did not panic. He didn't believe that Xiao Xiao would dare to do anything to him. How strong could these child soldiers be under the leadership of these people with connections? Especially since he had never seen this array before. It felt like he had been in a child's house.
Was this how an army should look like? They didn't even know how to form a square formation!
It was just as the rumors said. This child was a 'disciple soldier' from another place.
He sneered.
Behind him were two thousand old Qin soldiers who had been fighting for many years.
Would they dare to make a move? Do you have the guts?
However, in the next moment, cold sweat appeared on the general's forehead. His pupils constricted.
"Get ready!"
...
Xiao Xiao did not say a word. However, Zhao Kun roared angrily behind him. The sounds of swords being drawn, crossbows, and spears being drawn could be heard from the 2,000-strong army.
As long as Xiao Xiao gave the order. They would definitely be shot into arrows.
"Roar!"
The depression of the two thousand soldiers. It turned into an angry roar.
The dozen or so Qin soldiers on horseback were all shocked, and their horses swayed from side to side in fear.
" General Xiao, you!"
The general opposite him saw Xiao Xiao's cold smile and was instantly shocked and angry.
He was a little afraid that this 'general' opposite him might act on impulse.
......
"Give them the rations."
Xiao Xiao's next words stunned everyone.
Before he turned around and left, Xiao Xiao seemed to have remembered something. He turned to look at the general who was glaring at him and smiled faintly.
"This is how I lead troops."
....
"You!"
Looking at the backs of Xiao Xiao and the others as they left, he was speechless for a moment.
...........
In Han Country's Xinzheng, be it the King of Han or the ministers, they were all like ants on a hot pan.
A message came from the front. The 100,000 Qin soldiers had already crossed the Yellow River. If the Qin State took down two more cities, the Qin army would be less than a hundred miles away from Xinzheng. In less than a day, the army arrived at Xinzheng City.
"Trash, you're all a bunch of trash!"
King Han Ji 'an was shocked and angry. In the imperial court, he pointed at the generals below and cursed.
"I told you not to provoke the Qin country! Don't provoke the State of Qin! What about you? You keep saying that the Qin country is no longer able to fight and that you can send troops to recapture Nanyang. What happened in the end?"
Han Wangan kicked the table in anger. He stared at the officials below.
Hearing King Han's words, the officials below all lowered their heads, not daring to speak.
"Your Majesty, the most important thing now is to unite with the State of Zhao as soon as possible. Retreat from Qin as soon as possible."
An old official said with a trembling voice.
Han Wangan closed his eyes and took a deep breath. His mind was filled with regret.
He should have listened to those good-for-nothings instead of being greedy.
Now, not to mention Nanyang, even Xinzheng could not be saved.
What made him even angrier was that the trash who claimed to be able to take back Nanyang couldn't even last a day.
"Send an envoy to Zhao and ask Zhao to send troops as soon as possible.”
Opening his eyes, Han Wangan looked at the civil and military officials and roared angrily,"Tell the King of Zhao that if Han is gone, Zhao will be destroyed by Qin sooner or later.”
"Yes!"
.....
On the other side, the King of Zhao, who was far away in Handan, seemed to know that the Han Country would not be able to hold on for more than a few days under the attack of the Qin army.
At this moment, in the imperial palace of Handan. The King of Zhao and the officials were discussing whether they should send troops to help Han Country.
"Your Majesty, this humble subject suggests sending troops. If the Han Country is taken by the Qin Country, our Zhao Country will definitely be besieged by the Qin Country.”
Many generals advised.
They knew the principle of losing the lips and losing the teeth. If Han Country was really destroyed by Qin Country. If the Qin country attacked the Zhao country in the future, it would be difficult for them to deal with it.
"Reporting to my king, this humble subject feels that we should not send troops. Firstly, the war between Zhao and Qin has just ended. Although we have won a great victory, we still need to recuperate. Second, Anyang, Eyu, Muyang, Hejian, Dengyi, Yanmen County, Yunzhong County, and Dai County were all suffering from famine.”
"We agree!"
....
Most of the people who spoke were civil officials. None of them supported sending troops.
Anyang, Eyu, Muyang, Hejian, Dengyi, and the Zhangshui River basin had been seized by the Qin State a few years ago, and now they had finally regained them. In their opinion, the most important thing at the moment should be to recuperate. There should be no more fighting.
"Milord, what if the Qin Country destroys the Han Country and attacks our Zhao Country? What should it be?"
The leading military officer glared at the leading civil official.
The civil officials did not show any weakness either.
"Now that there is a famine in the country, does General have extra food to send troops? Even if there were, if they were trapped in Han Country. Then what if the Qin country comes to snatch our Zhao country's city?”
The leading civil official retorted.
Then, the two groups of people glared at each other.
The King of Zhao could not help but sigh when he saw this. He knew that both sides were right.
He understood that the generals wanted to send troops, but Guo Kai's words were what he felt.
In the end, King Zhao's gaze landed on a man in his thirties.
"Alright, Lord Wu An, what do you think?”
This person was Li Mu. Half a year ago, when the State of Zhao was in danger, it was he who led the soldiers to turn defeat into victory and forcefully took back all the lost land from the State of Qin.
After that, he was conferred the title of Lord Wu An.
Seeing King Zhao asking for his opinion, Li Mu lowered his head and pondered for a moment. He said. "I think we should send troops, but our Zhao army will not participate in the battle. We will only be responsible for attacking the Qin country's grain routes.”
"We agree!"
"We agree!"
....
All the officials nodded and praised Li Mu for being the War God, Wu Anjun.
This brilliant plan was simply divine.
As long as they sent troops to attack the Qin country's grain route. The Qin army would definitely be delayed. At that time, as long as the Han Country could hold on for a few days, the Qin army would collapse without a fight.
Either they split up and return to protect the supply route, or they retreated.
No matter which one, it would greatly weaken the Qin army. Naturally, the crisis of Xinzheng was resolved.
The most important thing was…They didn't need to pay any price to get time to recuperate.
When Qin retreated, Han would definitely join forces with Zhao to resist Qin.
