Chapter 34: Horse Racing in the City (Part 1)
Handan, Zhao Kingdom Palace.
King Zhao Xiaocheng's face turned pale, his face was twisted, and he was roaring: "Qin Yiren, you are an ungrateful wolf who is not well-fed, you are not treating you, but you actually left me."
Xinling Jun, Pingyuan Jun, Lu Zhonglian, and a group of ministers pursed their lips tightly, and they didn't dare to show off.
Since receiving the news that Qin Yiren left Handan, King Xiaocheng of Zhao was furious and roared like thunder. After several days, he was still angry and kept scolding Qin Yiren.
In fact, the ministers knew very well that King Xiaocheng of Zhao did not care much about Qin Yiren, nor did he hate Qin Yiren very much, but took this opportunity to vent his anger. Since the Qin army attacked the city, King Xiaocheng of Zhao was worried and anxious all day long, and he had no place to vent his resentment. He just took advantage of Qin Yiren's departure from Handan to vent his anger.
"In the battle of Changping, the 500,000 troops of Zhao lost all their losses. I did not kill you. This is the supreme kindness. You are ignorant. You are a beast." King Xiaocheng of Zhao was so cursing that he spitted out.
During the Changping War, Zhao State put Qin Yiren under house arrest for three years and made every effort to make things difficult for him, wishing to kill Qin Yiren. The reason why he did not kill Qin Yiren was because he was afraid of angering Qin. He left Qin Yiren to leave a way out. At this moment, it became his kindness and supreme kindness. What is the reason for this?
"Qin Yiren, you..." King Zhao Xiaocheng cursed so easily, and said that all kinds of things that made Qin Yiren difficult was to put on Qin Yiren's body.
Pingyuan Jun secretly thanked: "Fortunately, I met the Young Master Yi, gave me a generous gift, and received the Young Master Yi's acceptance and said good words in front of the King of Qin."
But he didn't know that Qin Yiren saw that he was hiding evil intentions, but not helping him. Qin Yiren had already made up his mind to say a few good words first, then slander him, and asked King Zhao of Qin to kill him.
The ministers who contacted Qin Yiren and obtained Qin Yiren's guarantee were as thoughtful as King Pingyuan, secretly thanked that this matter was done early. If it was done late, Qin Yiren left Handan and they would cut off their retreat.
But they didn't know that the reason why Qin Yiren left was because there was no benefit to make it. If there were any benefits, Qin Yiren would still stay in Handan.
Xinlingjun's mood was extremely complicated. Although he went to see Qin Yiren, Qin Yiren also offered him very favorable conditions. He was very moved, but he did not dare to accept it. He knew very well that if he lost Zhu Hai, his life would last for many days. He himself didn't know, and he might not live until the day when Handan City was destroyed.
It was precisely because of this that he rejected Qin Yiren's generous conditions.
Now that Qin Yiren has left Handan, he has no chance to trade with Qin Yiren again. His retreat has been completely cut off, and his heart has sunk.
"Report to the Lord, the Qin army has stopped attacking." At this moment, a swordsman in red quickly came and reported to King Xiaocheng of Zhao.
"Stop attack?" King Zhao Xiaocheng's expression relaxed, he shook, fell to the ground, gasping.
This is the best news he has received since the Qin army sieges the city, although it is just the Qin army stopping the attack rather than retreating. King Zhao Xiaocheng's heart was finally able to let go, although the time will be very short.
"The Qin army's next offensive will be even stronger, so we must prepare for the war quickly." Xinling Jun hurriedly advised King Zhao Xiaocheng.
"You are the general, you can deal with it." King Zhao Xiaocheng seemed to be heartless.
"I..." At this moment, Xinling Jun really wanted to stop being a general and hand over the general's seal and ribbon.

Qin army camp.
"Dig, dig, dig the soil!"
"Dig quickly! Dig quickly! Get more soil!"
The Qin soldiers were in full swing, with high morale and sweating profusely. They were collecting soil, and packs of soil were piled up into mountains.
They were ordinary soldiers. Although they did not understand the use of seizing soil, the Qin army was well-trained and strictly enforced military orders, and there would never be any doubts. Not to mention seizing soil, even if they were asked to rush into the sea of fire with an order, they would not frown.
Qin Yiren, Huang Shigong, Wei Liao, Wang Ling, Meng Ao, Huan Qi and others patrolled everywhere and checked the progress.
"The morale of brothers is good! Very good!" Wang Ling saw it and was very satisfied.
When the Qin army heard the war, they were happy and regarded war as eating meat and drinking. Digging soil was not the same thing at all in their eyes. They would not be able to make their morale low.
"I guess, tomorrow will be enough." Meng Ao raised his eyebrows and said probably.
"Tomorrow, I will get enough soil, so that my brothers can rest well, accumulate energy, and officially attack the city the day after tomorrow." Wang Ling made a decision.
Qin Yiren looked at the Qin soldiers who were taking the soil and shook his head, and sighed secretly: "This farm tool is too bad, it is inefficient, and reforming the farm tool is imperative!"
The Qin army used plows to obtain land. In the eyes of modern Qin Yiren, this was too backward, and it was speechless.
The plows used in the Warring States Period were similar to modern shovels. There was a wooden handle on the top and a slightly curvature "shovel" below. When taking the soil, insert the plows to the ground, then step on them with your feet and pull them again, and the soil will loosen.
This kind of hoe is too low-efficiency and is far less than a hoe.
To increase grain production, you only need to change the plow to a hoe, which will improve a lot of efficiency.
"If I improve the Qin farm tools, Qin will have more food and richer food, and the people will be happier." Qin Yiren secretly made up his mind: "This must be done!"
If Qin wants to unify the world, it needs a lot of food, and reforming agricultural tools is imperative.
Not to mention, the grain output has increased. While eating enough, it can be used to raise poultry and livestock, which can increase the production of meat, so that the people of the country can have meat to eat, and improve their physical fitness. This is a great cause that concerns the future of the Chinese nation, and must be carried out to the end!
As Meng Ao said, the harvesting of soil was completed the next day.
After the land acquisition was completed, Wang Ling gave the order, the Qin army slaughtered pigs and sheep, had a good meal, fell asleep, and prepared for a battle the next day.
At dawn, the Qin army invaded the world and drove out of the camp and drove to the city of Handan to prepare to attack the city.
Qin Yiren rode a horse, took Huang Shigong and Wei Liao, and followed Wang Ling to the side, leaving the Qin army camp, and looked at the top of the city. He saw that the Zhao army was in high spirits and ready to face the enemy.
The Zhao people were unyielding, heroic, brave and good at fighting. Their morale was pretty good, but their weapons and equipment were nothing to say. Most of them had incomplete weapons. Compared with the Qin army, they were similar to beggars.
"The Zhao people are really a hero!" Qin Yiren was very impressed.
It has been so much that the Zhao people did not surrender and still resisted to the end. No matter how much praise it is, it is not an exaggeration.
"It's a pity that the Zhao people were so amazing that they killed King Xiaocheng, the fool. Lian Po didn't use it, but he used Xinlingjun, a useless person!" Qin Yiren was very whispering in his heart.
"Young Master, follow me to the cloud car." Just as Qin Yiren was moved, Wang Ling said to Qin Yiren.
The Yunche is the command chariot of the Qin army. It is more than ten feet above the ground. Only when standing high can you see far and see the battlefield. Wang Ling took special care of Qin Yiren, allowing him to watch the battle more carefully and intentionally cultivate him.
Of course, Qin Yiren would not miss this kind of good thing, and smiled and said, "Then I would like to thank the general. However, I want them to go up together." He pointed at Huang Shigong and Wei Liao.
Both of them are geniuses and famous military strategists. The problem is that Huangshi Gong has not yet led the troops. If he was allowed to stand in the cloud car, he would see it more clearly and would benefit him a lot.
The same is true for Wei Liao. Although he is a rare genius, he is still young and still in the growth stage. Only when his vision is broader will his achievements be greater.
"Young Master, the cloud car cannot carry too many people." Wang Ling refused with a smile.
The load-bearing capacity of the cloud car is limited, and it is a great kindness for Wang Ling to bring Qin Yiren to him.
"Let them help you pass the order. Just bring two less commanders to the school." Qin Yiren insisted.
"One is the son of the National Guard and the other is the hidden military strategist. It's so insignificant." Wang Ling was also moved and looked at the two of them.
Wei Liao is the son of Wei State, and Huang Shigong is a hidden military strategist. The two must be familiar with the matter of passing on orders. However, both of them are famous scholars, and Wang Ling may not be able to invite them.
"The general is too worried, and we are willing to send an order." Huang Shigong and Wei Liao looked at each other and reached an unanimous agreement.
Of course they understood Qin Yiren's intention, and they were intentionally trying to help them understand the Qin army more deeply and prepare for the future leadership of the army.
With Qin Yiren's emphasis on them, as long as Qin Yiren can ascend to the throne of Qin King, the two will inevitably be valued, and it is inevitable that they will lead troops to the battlefield.
"Then I'll be fine!" Wang Ling smiled and came to the cloud car.
Qin Yiren, Wei Liao and Huang Shigong followed the Yunche. Wei Liao and Huang Shigong took the order flag and held it tightly in their hands.
The Qin army sharp men pushed the winch, and the cloud car slowly rose, rising higher and higher, and stopped more than ten feet above the ground.
Qin Yiren looked around and saw that he was in sight of the entire city of Handan. He could see farther and more carefully than he stood on the roof of Hu Feng’s wine shop.
"That is the Palace of Zhao Kingdom, that is Hu Feng Restaurant, that is my residence." Qin Yiren looked at Handan City, and saw all the familiar buildings.
Look at the Qin army again, in an orderly battle formation. At first glance, it looks like a black harppa, with high morale and murderous aura venting straight upwards and running straight into the sky, making people excited.
"Attack!" Wang Ling issued an order.
brush!
The flag in Huangshigong's hand was swung down, and it was very beautiful.
"Okay! It's worthy of being a military strategist!" Wang Ling's eyes flashed and he praised him loudly.
He is a big expert and can tell at a glance that the hand-in-hand flag of Huangshigong is very, very impressive.
"Dongdong!"
Suddenly, a shocking sound rang out, shaking the ground trembling. The Qin army launched an attack again and rushed towards Handan, like a surging sea tide, with a vast ocean, unstoppable.
The Qin army rushed to the city, began to climb the city, and started hand-to-hand combat with the Zhao army. At the same time, the car crashed and began to hit the city gate, and every time it went down, a shocking sound would be made.
The Qin army had accumulated strength for several days and had high morale. Even though the Zhao army tried its best to resist, it was difficult to push the Qin army down the city. For a time, the Qin and Zhao armies fought repeatedly on the city.
