System: I let you have children, not fight for hegemony

Chapter 69 Handan
Zhao Zheng was so shocked by Mrs. Huayang's words that his expression cracked: "Mom, Zheng is still young."

Mrs. Huayang glanced sideways at Zhao Zheng and said angrily: "Does Zheng dislike my niece? Let her go to the house to accompany you first, and then we can get married when you are old."

All in all, this person must be stuffed into Zhao Zheng's backyard, and his status can be determined later.

Zhao Zheng knelt down respectfully and said, "I am sorry that I cannot obey my order."

Mrs. Huayang has been in a high position for a long time. She was rejected by a junior for the first time. She was embarrassed and said: "Good opportunities are hard to find. Your brother's success is no worse than yours."

Zhao Zheng no longer talks much. He talks too much and makes many mistakes. He is easily accused of being disobedient and unfilial.

Mrs. Huayang drove Zhao Zheng out and got very angry in the house. When Tai Zi Zhu came back, she cried in front of Tai Zi Zhu.

Uncharacteristically, Prince Zhu did not comfort Mrs. Huayang, but said seriously: "Your brother is strictly prohibited from entering the house in the future."

Mrs. Huayang opened her eyes in disbelief and turned pale.

After all, Taizizhu took pity on her and gave her some advice: "The incident of Queen Mother Xuan is still before our eyes. We need to take it as a warning."

Small matters in the back house cannot make waves without the support of those in power.

Zhao Zheng did not take this matter to heart. If Mrs. Huayang insisted on doing this, she would be greeted with a glass of poisonous wine.

The bigger turmoil was that King Qin became increasingly moody because he could not conquer Handan for a long time.

Zhao Zheng and Cai Ze agreed that it was not appropriate to take the lead at this time and that it was better to stay dormant.

Wang Ling, who received several letters of accusation from the King of Qin in succession, felt anxious, but the Qin army still could not advance even an inch because the veteran general Lian Po was guarding Handan.

Lian Po stood on the top of the city wall of Handan. Outside the city, the Qin army surrounded Handan, with flags spread out and their morale high.

"General," Lian Po's bodyguard knelt down and said with red eyes, "Liu Xuan of the fiefdom is here."

Lian Po felt a sudden throbbing pain in his heart. This time, all of Zhao's [-] troops were deployed in the siege of Handan.

After receiving the appointment from King Zhao, he brought all the young men in the fief to Handan, leaving only the refugees led by Liu Xuan.

What happened in the fief?

As soon as Liu Xuan saw Lian Po, he immediately knelt down and burst into tears.

Lian Po opened his mouth, and after trying several times, he found his voice: "What's the matter?"

"Madam, Madam has gone..."

Lian Po felt the world spin for a while, and he held on to the city wall with his right hand, then managed to stand still: "Did Madam leave any last words?"

Mrs. Lian's care in the past was still vivid in her mind. Liu Xuan choked and said: "When the old lady was dying, she was weak and could not hold the brush. She only asked the villain to tell the general."

Liu Xuan took a deep breath, calmed down, and imitated Mrs. Lian's tone and said: "I am lucky enough to be able to grow old together with my husband. I have no regrets in this life. The Qin army is approaching the city, and Handan is in danger. My husband should put the common people first. , there is no need to come back for the funeral. If there is an afterlife, I would like to remarry my husband."

The guards secretly wiped away tears, the general loved his soldiers, and so did his wife.

The soldiers were away at war, and their families were cared for a lot by the general's wife.

During countless cold winter months, the old lady sent people to send chestnuts and warm clothes, so that the whole family could survive.

But the old lady was unable to see the general before her death, not even for the funeral...

Lian Po's heart seemed to have been torn out a large piece, and he was breathing heavily, but the Qin army would not leave Lian Po time to grieve.

The Qin army attacked again. Lian Po turned around and picked up his bow and arrow. Every time he shot an arrow, he took away a Qin soldier's life.

It was not until night fell that the Qin army had no choice but to withdraw.

Lian Po returned to the camp tiredly, and Liu Xuan was already waiting outside the tent.

"Tell me, madam, is there anything else you want you to tell me?"

Liu Xuan looked around and made sure that no one was there, then he leaned into Lian Po's ear and whispered softly: "Madam, if the general is jealous of King Zhao, he can defect to the queen." Lian Po crossed his arms in front of his chest, his eyes dark. It seemed that he meant something: "Liu Xuan, you are indeed loyal."

Liu Xuan lowered his head, and a gust of night wind blew by, making him shiver with cold.

"Go back to the fief and tell the young madam that I will leave all the madam's affairs to her."

Liu Xuan was about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by Lian Po: "Stay, I have a letter to deliver to the young lady."

Lian Po wrote several times, but he couldn't express it in words.

Black ink flows down the tip of the pen onto the bamboo slips, blooming into black flowers.

The tip of this writing brush was slightly bald and the writing was not smooth, but Lian Po was never willing to throw it away.

This was a gift from the monkey, who naughtily asked his wife to carve her name on the pen holder.

Lian Po's rough hand touched the engraving on the pen barrel, and the handwriting was beautiful, and he could still see his wife carving it gently under the firelight.

Even if Madam misses the monkey, she will not say anything about defecting when the two armies are fighting.

Liu Xuan is indeed bold.

It's better to be bold. Handan is short of food and grass. If he borrows food from other countries and is refused, Handan will be difficult to defend. Only Liu Xuan who is bold can escape with his daughter-in-law and others.

Madam, if I die for my country, I will go find you.If I defeat the Qin army, I will go to your grave to report the good news.You and Fu'er are in the sky, watch carefully.

The Qin army's attacks were like surging waves, one after another, continuous.

In Handan City, the defenders suffered numerous casualties.However, the flame of revenge burns in the hearts of every Zhao people.

"Madam, you and the girls in the backyard are both going to the front line!" Pingyuan Lord Zhao Sheng said fiercely.

The wife of Pingyuan Lord Zhao Sheng was the sister of Lord Xinling of Wei State. She was shocked when she heard that her husband actually sent all his wives and concubines to the city to defend the enemy.

"Husband, the women in the house are delicate and frail, how can I do this?"

Zhao Sheng ordered dozens of pieces of armor to be delivered: "Those who are good at martial arts should go up to the city wall. Those who are weak should prepare for the logistics. If your lips are dead and your teeth are cold, how will the Qin people leave a way for you to survive once they attack Handan?"

Lord Pingyuan's actions greatly boosted morale. Countless men, women, and children from Handan spontaneously walked up to the city wall and tried their best to help.

Zhao Sheng, on the other hand, compiled a letter and sent it to his wife and brother.

"I have always heard that Lord Xinling has a noble character and is willing to do charity, so I asked to marry your sister. Now that Handan is under siege, Lord Xinling does not have to pity me, but your sister is innocent, and Lord Xinling has the heart to let her die?"

Lord Xinling, who received the letter, was really a different person.

Some time ago, the State of Qin sent people to beat the King of Wei, saying that whoever wanted to aid Zhao would be settled one by one after Qin defeated Zhao.

The King of Wei was timid and ordered General Jin Bi to lead his army to station in Yecheng on the border to wait and see the situation.

In desperation, Lord Xinling took his retainers and more than 100 carriages to help Zhao.

"Mr. Xinling, if you go to Zhao like this, you will die innocently!" Hou Ying, a city guard in his 70s, stopped Mr. Xinling.

Lord Xinling treated Hou Ying well and felt that Hou Ying would not harm him.

Hou Ying: "If you want to save Zhao, you need soldiers. I heard that the military talisman used by Jin Bi to mobilize troops is in King Wei's bedroom. Young Master, you saved Aweng, the concubine of King Wei, and she has always wanted to find an opportunity to repay you."

Lord Xinling understood and did so.

In order to prevent Jin Bi from becoming suspicious, Hou Ying specially asked his friend Zhu Hai to follow Lord Xinling: "Zhu Hai, I am old and unable to travel far. After you finish this, go to Bashu to look for the big son!"

Zhu Hai nodded heavily: "Weng Hou, if Jin Bi refuses to hand over military power, I will kill him. Ju Zi's order will be fulfilled to the death!"
