Back to Daqin to be Emperor

Chapter 607
Ever since Fusu's order spread to northern Xinjiang, Wang Li quickly chose to retreat.

Wang Li is also considered a seasoned veteran, so he naturally understands the strengths and weaknesses of the defense line in the northern border.I also understand that once the Hu people take the opportunity to attack, by that time, the Qin army of about 20 in his hands will be considered over!
At that time, the Qin army will first be entangled by the frontal Zhao and Qi armies, and if the Hu people appear at this time, it will undoubtedly make the Qin army suffer from the enemy.

No matter how brave the Qin army is, it is difficult to defeat the combination of these parties.

And Fusu sent a letter, asking him to deal with it carefully, so Wang Li chose to retreat temporarily.

Stabilize the defense line in the north first, and then make plans after the troops are sufficient.

Moreover, marching and fighting in winter was quite difficult for the Qin army. At least Wang Li felt that if the Qin army really went to Handan, it might not be able to form an effective threat to Handan.

Because after a long period of wind and snow, Qin Jun's combat power has really declined sharply. In this state, Qin Jun may become a piece of meat in Zhao Jun's mouth.

If winter is over, it will be another scene.

But in Handan City, people are panicking at the moment.Because according to what they knew, the Qin army was about to attack on a large scale.

After hearing the news that the 20 Zhao army was defeated, the city of Handan was shaken for a while.

Even many courtiers in Zhao Guo's court advocated peace with Qin, but such opinions were all rejected by Zhang Er!

Zhang Er knew that others could surrender to Qin, but he could not.

Not from the moment he plotted to assassinate Fusu.For such a person, Fusu, as the king of Qin, must cut off such a person's head.

For this reason, he tied the current king of Zhao, Zhao Xie, to his chariot. In his words, it was natural that once Zhao Xie surrendered to Qin, the lightest result would be to be placed under house arrest by Qin. It is not impossible to be directly bestowed with a cup of poisoned wine by King Qin.

Of course, for Zhang Er, the most important point is that if he surrenders, he will become a prisoner of Qin State, and let Qin State take whatever he wants, and now the power to control a country will disappear. !

For this point, Zhang Er was extremely sure, he clearly knew that the King Qin's goal was not just Guanzhong.I also hate myself for knowing it too late!
Even if he has the goal and plan of swallowing the world, how could the King of Qin be willing to curl up in a corner of the pass?
However, King Qin's weakness as if he had lost the title of emperor, coupled with the strong background of Qin State, made it difficult for the countries in Shandong to work together to deal with Qin State.

The news that Qin Jun was about to attack made Zhang Er so anxious that he almost jumped up at first!He quickly sent nine special envoys to Qi and Chu for help.

In addition to asking for help, Zhang Er also began to mobilize the people of Zhao State, intending to let everyone follow him to defend against the Qin army.

I just waited and waited, but in the end what I waited for was loneliness.

It's not that Zhang Er didn't send out spies, it's just that Wang Li is a veteran after all, so why doesn't he understand the matter of the army formation.

Therefore, Wang Li sent people to retreat, and at the same time sent a small team to continue to advance, building up momentum along the way, pretending that the Qin army's army was going south.

Zhang Er was finally kept in the dark.

Hearing that Qin Jun had withdrawn, Zhang Er was also greatly relieved.

At this time, the reinforcements from the Qi and Chu armies are coming soon, so it is naturally impossible for Zhang Er to let the Qi and Chu armies go back. After all, the Qin army may come again, isn't it?
Moreover, Zhang Er felt that it was necessary for him to discuss with the Qi and Chu armies about joint vertical matters.

Now, no matter which country it is alone, it will not be the opponent of Qin State. Only by joining hands, there may be some hope.

For this reason, Zhang Er also knew that he needed to make some concessions, at least now that the Qi and Chu armies came to Zhao Guo, most of the military rations needed to be taken care of by Zhao Guo.

...............................................................................................................

At this time, Han Xin was inspecting the terrain with Mi Xi and Kuai Che.

Although there are on the map, there is still a big gap between the reality and the reality.This is naturally not the fault of the person who drew the map, because first of all, due to the reasons of the times, the tools of measurement are very limited.

Secondly, the terrain changes, and the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter are different at different times, even on the same mountain.

In this case, it is still subject to on-the-spot investigation.

"It's really a dangerous river!" Han Xin couldn't help sighing after several days of personal investigation.

The big river at this time is the so-called Yellow River in later generations.

Wei Guo has now sent troops to guard the mouths of the rivers, firmly guarding the banks of the river, and the entire river is like a moat in front of the Qin army.

However, after a few days of investigation, it can be regarded as some gains.

Thanks to the fact that it is still winter and the river is dry, coupled with the cold climate in the north, the river is mostly frozen, so there is less water flow.

If next spring, the snow water melts and pours into the river, at that time, the Qin army will cross the river, but there is really no possibility at all, because at that time, the river is full of ice floes, crossing the river, to put it bluntly, Just looking for death.

But it is also because of now that Han Xin finally found an excellent place here in Xia Yang, which is suitable for the Qin army to secretly smuggle.

"Mixi, is it feasible to build a pontoon bridge here to allow the Qin army to cross the river?" Han Xin looked at Mixi seriously, waiting for Mixi's answer.

Mi Xi took a few more glances and said, "General, Mi Xi is willing to issue a military order that a pontoon bridge must be erected within three days for the army to cross the river."

"Three days?" Han Xin showed excitement on his face, "Okay, I'll leave this pontoon to you!"

Han Xin faintly admired Fusu's foresight. In normal times, this tunnel camp does not show mountains and does not expose water. It only builds water conservancy for the Great Qin in various places, and directs the people to dredge rivers and dig ditches.

But once it came to wartime, this tunnel battalion had already become a trailblazer, clearing roads in the mountains and building bridges in the water to ensure that the army can move forward unimpeded all the way.

Not only this matter, but also calendars, agricultural books, quyuanli, waterwheels and other objects can give Qin Jun the upper hand in the next action, and it makes him, the commander, feel that doing these things Things come as if God helps.

After returning to the camp, Han Xin immediately ordered his subordinates to start collecting ships. Of course, such an action could not be concealed from the Wei army on the other side.

And Han Xin never wanted to hide the truth from Wei Jun on the opposite side. Even speaking, this action was just for Wei Jun on the opposite side to attract Wei Jun's attention, build a pontoon bridge for Mixi, and create good conditions.
