Take the city to the Warring States

Chapter 55
An army under the banner of the prince wandered between Handan and Xindu, and countless defeated soldiers were delighted to hear that and attached themselves.The army gradually grew larger like a snowball. Xindu heard that a large number of materials were shipped in, and morale slowly improved unconsciously.

As night fell, the army set up camp on the only road between Handan and Xindu. Zhao Wuming listened to Fan Shun's report in the commander's tent and his eyes widened: "Two, 20 troops."

"Fifty thousand imperial troops, 11 noble private soldiers, and [-] Handan defenders. According to the established plan, Shen Tuxiu reorganized the forbidden army, Xue Qian reorganized the private soldiers, and Sun Buer assisted the prince in reorganizing the Handan defenders."Fan Shun told Zhao Wuming one by one.

Listening to what Fan Shun told, Zhao Wuming gradually calmed down: "How about their reorganization?"

"As long as the son gives an order, the noble private soldiers and the Handan defenders will definitely obey the order."Fan Shun thought carefully, and quickly answered Zhao Wuming's question.

Zhao Wuming was stunned for a moment and obviously understood the consciousness in the words: "Where is the forbidden army? What is the situation of the forbidden army?"

"The situation of the Forbidden Army is not serious, Shen Tuxiu is already in full control."Fan Shun said very implicitly that the Handan defenders suffered heavy losses during the battle, and the army was completely defeated.Private soldiers are a mess in the first place, and personal soldiers can easily occupy every vital point.But in the face of the imperial army whose losses were not serious, they seemed powerless.

Zhao Wuming recalled, tapping the table unconsciously with his fingers: "It means that the imperial army may not obey orders."

"The army of Wei State in Handan City is twice as large as our army. If you can't fully dispatch the 20 troops, I am afraid that the defeat will not be far away."Fan Shun felt a headache when he thought of Shen Tuxiu's actions to gather the imperial army.The Forbidden Army formed its own system, so what would happen if Shen Tuxiu disobeyed at the critical moment when the two armies were fighting.

Zhao Wuming fell into deep thought, and looked at Fan Shun for a long time: "In the face of a national crisis, Shen Tuxiu should know how to measure it."

"My son can't pin our hopes on others at this time. It's better to regain the military power of the forbidden army as soon as possible."Fan Shun quickly reminded that all the people from Wei Guo were elites, and the number was more than twice that of his own.A slight negligence may cause these armies to become defeated again.

Zhao Wuming shook his head lightly. The military power of the imperial army is indeed very attractive, but it is not fatal to him: "Tell me about the movement in Handan City."

"This evening, the army of the State of Wei has fully occupied Handan. The villain speculates that the vanguard of the State of Wei will arrive here at the latest tomorrow morning."Fan Shun analyzed Zhao Wuming again, thinking of the coming Wei army, he felt a huge mountain pressing down on his heart.

Zhao Wuming stood up, turned around and looked at the map hanging behind: "Who do you think will be the leader of the vanguard of the Wei State?"

"Generally speaking, Pang Juan is the commander-in-chief, and the king of Wei will definitely send his son Ang as his deputy. Judging from the battle of Pang Juan's capture of Hexi and Shangjun, this time Wei's vanguard will definitely be led by his son Ang."When Fan Shun came, he obviously made sufficient preparations.

Son Ang?Hearing this thunderous name, a smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Wuming's mouth.Could it be the son Ang who was captured by the Qin State according to historical records: "I'm really looking forward to the duel with the son Ang. As for the forbidden army, just pay more attention."

"It can only be so."After thinking about it, Fan Shun could only sigh in his heart.Counting the time, the Queen and Yun Miao have already arrived at Xindu.At this time, it is really difficult to seize the power of the imperial army without the will of the queen and the king.

Zhao Wuming turned to look at Fan Shun, and walked out directly: "The question is over, now accompany me to the barracks."

"Also."Fan Shun nodded and followed Zhao Wuming out.

A chubby young man outside the barracks, with a disheveled face and a dusty face, rushed over when he saw the barracks gate before he had time to think.

"Stop, no intrusion is allowed in the barracks."Several soldiers shouted at the rushing man, intending to stop the uninvited guest.

The man ignored him and continued to rush inside with his head down.Displeasure gradually appeared on the faces of the soldiers, and they all stepped forward and surrounded the man: "How many times have I told you that the barracks strictly prohibits intrusion. I think you are a miserable person, so we let you go." You several times. I didn’t expect that you were not only ungrateful, but also intensified and continued to rush.”

"This place is about to become a battlefield. If you want to survive, leave quickly and go to Xindu."

"Hurry up and escape, we are here to delay time for you, I hope you will cherish it."

The soldiers were filled with emotion when they thought of Handan City and the displaced people.Surrounding the man did not use force, just persuasion.

"Is the main general here the Fourth Young Master?"The man asked the soldiers.

The eyes of the soldiers gradually became a little puzzled, and they looked up and down the man: "Yes, our leader is indeed the fourth son."

"I am Qing Que, the guard next to the Fourth Young Master, please go in and report."Qingque looked at the soldiers with pleading eyes.

The soldiers looked at each other, all showing expressions of disbelief: "The fourth son is leading an army. Since you are his bodyguard, it is impossible for you to get lost, so we don't believe it."

"I'm really Qing Que, the fourth son's bodyguard."Qingque was a little anxious, the young master was clearly in the barracks, but why couldn't he get in.

The soldiers looked at Qing Que again, and saw that his disbelief in his clothes was even stronger: "Fourth son, the fourth son of the king, his guards can't be dressed so poorly."

"Unkempt and tired, how could someone like you be the fourth son's guard."

"Stop bragging, we have seen the guards of the fourth son. For example, General Sun Buer is majestic in armor, how can you compare?".

"General Huan Sun Bu Er, I think even if you are the personal guard next to the Fourth Young Master, you can't compare to him."

"Just now, there were hundreds of people making trouble. More than a dozen soldiers stepped out of the ring, but none of them were their opponents."

"Look for yourself, with your little arms and legs, can you compare with them?".

Qingque suddenly thought of Sun Buer and the others, and really had no way to refute.You must be very busy right now, but it's a pity that Qingque doesn't have the ability to help you.Thinking of this, his expression gradually became a little depressed.

Seeing Qingque's downcast look, the soldiers showed a hint of unbearable expression: "Listen to us and go to Xindu. With us here to block Wei's soldiers, you can live well in Xindu."

"No matter what you just said is true or not, you shouldn't bother the Fourth Young Master."

"We have just been defeated from Handan, how many thorns in the army are waiting for the fourth son to settle. The Wei army in Handan city is about to come again. Do you think you can help the fourth master with your appearance?"

"Whether our country of Zhao can survive this crisis, and whether we can take back Handan. It depends on how long the Fourth Young Master can stay here. Is it really good for you to go in and divide his heart now?".

Listening to the soldiers' kind persuasion, Qingque sighed silently in her heart, turned around and walked towards Xindu.The footsteps are heavy, with bursts of desolation.
