Qin Dynasty Novelist

Now that winter is finally over, although spring is not far away, there are not many charcoal fires in the barracks. I have been urged several times, but there is no response. There are rumors that the food and grass in Xinzheng will not last long.

"do you know?"

"The king of Han is currently singing and dancing in the palace, and he doesn't care about their food and supplies. Moreover, the lives of the officials in the city are better than one, leaving me to suffer in the barracks."

Rumors spread one after another. At first, we could find the first one, but later, when it spread throughout the entire barracks, even the garrison generals felt a little helpless.

Inside the barracks, the soldiers hadn't smelled the smell of meat for a month. For this reason, everyone begged to retreat to Xinzheng, enjoy a period of time in peace, and wait for the real attack of the Qin army before going out.

Anyway, there are still [-] elite soldiers on both sides of the Wei River, so there will be no problem.

The garrison general Han Qiu had no choice but to report the news to Han Wang'an.

But just after the Wang Shu was uploaded, there was an order to withdraw the troops no matter what, so it was even more helpless.

Since the military principles of the castle defense war, the best strategy is to garrison troops outside the city to defend against the enemy.

Really retreating into the city circle and relying on the city wall to hold on is a last resort at any time.After all, South Korea has the foundation of great powers fighting for war, and they still understand the basic laws and regulations like this.

Han Wang'an also had military exploits back then, and he also realized this. The three lines of defense must exist no matter what, otherwise, he would feel uneasy when he slept at night.

Han Qiu also understands, but he understands the current situation in the army even more.

Within a few days, the transportation of grain and grass, which was already very weak, was inexplicably cut off. Fresh grain and grass had not been delivered for several days, and even the worst charcoal was gone.

There was no charcoal and food, and under the cold weather, the defenders outside Xinzheng City complained even more, wanting to return to Xinzheng. Thousands of soldiers surrounded the Shogunate of the Chinese Army every day, and there was a tendency to mutiny and flee.

In the beginning, killing chickens to scare monkeys can last for three to five days.

Later, it was impossible to stabilize anyway, and the soldiers would flee if they were not allowed to return to Xinzheng.

For this reason, Han Qiu was terrified, and consulted Mr. Wei Zhuang, the military adviser of his staff, and had to order to withdraw.

Unexpectedly, when he returned to the city, the general defending the army would not open the city gate. In an instant, the soldiers outside the city became even more furious, cursing everywhere, and what's more, feathered arrows flew up the watchtower.

Under such coercion, the gate of the city was rumbled open, and the soldiers entered Xinzheng with loud curses.

"Your Majesty, nearly [-] defenders outside the city will enter the city in batches."

Han Qiu's expression was a bit ugly. Although he was a general of the garrison and was added as a general, but now he has no food, no food, no charcoal, what can he do.

What's the use of trying to get a soldier to obey you if you can't even fill their stomachs?

Inside the West Palace of the Wangcheng, they reported to Han Wangan anxiously. On the left and right sides, the civil and military officials were lined up, and the number of people was much smaller.

"Prince, what can we do to mobilize food and grass?"

Han Wang'an has been depleted of energy and spirit recently, and looked at Han Yu with a pale expression. In the palace, Zhang Kaidi was absent on sick leave, only his grandson Zhang Liang was there.

Yu also knew a lot about the situation in the army. Food, grass, charcoal, etc. were starting to be in short supply. The reason was that he took the lead in supplying the [-] elite soldiers on both sides of the Weishui River, and neglected the soldiers outside the city.

But the second line of defense did not exist. If the Qin army attacked and was defeated in the first battle, it would be straight into Xinzheng.

"Father, the only plan now is to ask the six countries in Shandong for food and supplies. They don't want to send troops immediately, so it's okay to come with food and other supplies."

The crown prince, Han Yu, also had an ugly expression on his face. As the crown prince of South Korea, he was quite aware of the current situation in South Korea. In addition, his father's recent neglect of government and his reluctance to pay attention to the government made the situation even more worrying.

"Well, this matter is left to you."

Han Wangan nodded weakly.

Immediately after the court meeting ended, Prince Han Yu ordered Zhang Liang to take the king's letter to the Five Kingdoms in person, hoping to obtain food and grass.

A month has passed.

Zhang Liang returned from the Five Kingdoms with an extremely ugly look on his face.

Zhao Guo shied away, as long as South Korea has no worries in the first battle, whether it is food, grass or soldiers, there will be a steady stream.

The state of Wei is like this, the state of Yan is like this, the state of Qi simply ignores it, and the same is true for the state of Chu.

In the courtyard in the northern city, people from Quicksand gathered together, and the atmosphere of silence became more and more intense.

All the passages to the outside world have been blocked by the Qin State. People can go out, but it is impossible to transport anything in.

One night before spring day.

The three clans of the Duan clan in Yingchuan all left Xinzheng and returned to their own fief. Now the situation in Xinzheng is getting worse and worse. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that since Qin has promised to the three clans of Yingchuan, they will return naturally.

When the news spread, the entire Xinzheng was in a row, and Han Wangan was even more furious, intending to arrest and kill the members of the three clans.

It's a pity that the people of the three clans spent a lot of money and disappeared with a large amount of property in Xinzheng. No matter how they searched, there was no movement. The report is that on the day they left, it rained heavily and the road was unclear.

As the news spread, the rest of the royal nobles and old nobles in Xinzheng began to flee again.

He couldn't be hunted down, and the investigation was unclear. Everything that fell into Han Wangan's ears was so powerless and helpless. Han Wangan sighed, and Zhang Kaidi's condition became more and more serious.

There is no Zhang Kaidi, and there is only the crown prince alone, plus the ministers in the Xinzheng temple who lack both hands, there are huge problems in the normal operation of political affairs.

"If the sky destroys Han, how can Han become a great country!"

"The sky never destroys Korea, how can Xinzheng have today?"

Han Wangan looked sad, and led the prince to mourn in the Taimiao. Could it be that Jin Han's name will really disappear.

"Father, the ninth brother and Honglian are here."

At some point, Prince Han Yu cupped his hands beside Han Wang'an and said softly.
