Chapter 48

"Stop, what are you doing?" the soldiers guarding the city shouted at the man dressed in a dozen merchants.

These men stopped and said with a smile: "Sir, is it called Xiao?"

Their attitude was good, and the soldiers guarding the city were no longer so fierce. They looked a little better and said, "If you don't call me, who else can you call me? You can't call me a cat or a dog. Let me tell me, what are you doing?"

"Sir, the young ones are businessmen." A rich businessman answered politely and thoughtfully.

The soldier asked with doubts: "Why do people who do business carry weapons? I said, are you spies?"

The rich businessman smiled and nodded and said, "Sir, you know that the war is currently in chaos. If we don't bring weapons and encounter scattered soldiers or robbers, wouldn't we be captured?"

This made sense, and the soldier nodded and said, "Who, since you know that the war is in chaos and the road is in danger, why do you still bet on your life? You businessmen can be willing to live for money."

The businessman thrust his chest and began to recite the business scriptures, saying, "Sir, you don't know anything about this. What you are focusing on when doing business is an opportunity, just like when you are fighting, what you are waiting for is a fighter, and what we businessmen are waiting for is a business opportunity.

When Qin and Zhao were fighting, there were not many merchants who dared to do business. Isn’t this opportunity a little? The risk was a little bigger, but the profit was too much. Who told us to take risks? Others dared not?" He was a typical example of making money in war, but he spoke to him openly and his face was not red. It was amazing.

"Okay, you are a profitable businessman!" The soldier stared at the merchant, and stars appeared in his eyes, saying, "So, have you made a lot of money?"

The merchant smiled and said, "Isn't this just here? The transaction has not been done yet. As long as I, Zhou Dafu, do it, it will definitely not be broken." An extra gold ingot was found in my right hand and said, "Sir, this is a little bit of a word. Please buy some wine, brothers."

The soldier's eyes shone, and he pretended to refuse, "How can this be done? The boss is so sincere. If I don't accept it, it will be unfair. Then I would be respectful and obey my orders and accept it for my brothers. Boss. Please."

The merchant waved to the soldiers and entered Handan City. The soldiers looked at their backs and shouted: "Boss, it's easy to leave!"

The soldier turned around and saw a group of ragged people coming over. The people were dressed very shabby, but their bodies were strong and strong. The soldier stopped him and said, "Stop, what are you doing in the city?"

The people stopped in response. He looked as if he was afraid of the soldiers when he saw them. He hesitated and did not dare to speak. The soldier shouted, "Speak, what's wrong, it's mute."

A brave man said, "The youngest person is a traveler. He took care of people and went to the city to deliver goods."

Their clothes were all porters' clothes, and the soldiers no longer doubted them, pointing to the merchant who had just entered the city and asked, "Did they care about you?"

"Yes, yes, wise, wise!" the people hurriedly admitted. They also gave a casual flattery.

The soldiers have benefited from businessmen, so they will naturally not be difficult for the people they care about. They waved their hand and said, "You go. Remember to be honest and don't be lazy when working. The boss is good and generous. Maybe they will give you money for wine."

The people responded and took the porter into the city with their clothes. If they were experts, they would definitely find that these porters walked solemnly. They were all good players, but the soldiers did not have such a vision.

Looking at the backs of these porters, the soldier scratched his head and muttered: "It's so strange today. There are so many people entering the city? I've only counted these days that there are many people entering the city. It's really strange."

In a hidden woods outside Handan City, Zhou Chong was sitting on a big tree with lush branches and leaves looking at Handan City. The Hu Ben Guard whispered under the tree: "Boss. Boss Zhang has checked the cash."

This is a code word. It means that the team sent by Zhou Chong has already sneaked into the city, and the merchants and porters are all Qin troops. It is for Zhou Chong to send into the city to secretly move and to help the army enter the city.

"Didn't you inspect the goods?" Zhou Chong asked with an incision, meaning that the soldiers guarding the city had discovered it and became suspicious.

The Hu Ben Guard replied: "My good guy, don't ask where the source is." It means that the Zhao army guarding the city has gained benefits and will not make things difficult for the Qin army.

Zhou Chong sighed in his heart that in such an extraordinary period, the soldiers guarding the city should perform their duties, but those soldiers were greedy for money and abused the law. If Zhao State is not destroyed, there would be no law. He came down from the tree and came to the place where the soldiers rested, and said, "Tell me the order: sleep all! No one is allowed to walk around, no noise, and hold a horse's mouth.

"He said to the Hu Ben Guard: "Take people to guard. If anyone violates it, kill him immediately!"

It was easy to go all the way, and finally arrived at the city of Handan. Success was right in front of me. If it was not good, it would be a waste. Zhou Chong had to issue strict orders.

As soon as the order was passed, the soldiers covered their noses and mouths with a piece of cloth, and then fell asleep. Covering their noses and mouths with cloths was to reduce the sound. Thousands of people were sleeping, and there must be many people inside snoring. If they didn't deal with it, that would be fine.

Handan is the biggest strategic goal of Zhao State. It is not only that Handan City is the strategic priority, but also that Handan is the capital of Zhao State, which has high political symbolic significance. If Handan falls into the hands of Qin State, it will have a devastating blow to the morale of the Zhao army.

Besides, there is still King Zhao in the city. If King Zhao is captured, how many benefits will be? As long as it is not zero, the people of Zhao army and Zhao have lost their loyalty at once, no political support, and their hearts are empty. They don’t have to fight this battle to know the outcome.

Besides, if the King of Zhao issued an order to prevent the Zhao military and civilians from resisting, there would be no need to fight this battle.

In a word, this battle is extremely important, not only related to the battle to destroy Zhao, but also to the subsequent war. Zhou Chong understood how heavy the burden on his shoulders was.

Zhou Chong, a time traveler, never dreamed that such an important historical burden would fall on his shoulders. If the battle was successful, he would be the biggest hero in the war of unification in Qin Shihuang. If it failed, he would be the biggest sinner. He would not have the heart to sleep, so he climbed onto the tree and looked at Handan City to ponder every link in the plan.

Zhou Chong cannot be blamed for his lack of psychological quality. Anyone would have shown it like him. Who said that this battlefield relationship is so important? This battle is related to the speed and slowness of the historical process. If the commander is not excited, he is no longer a human, but may be a god.

Zhou Chong was familiar with the plan of this battle, and he did not dare to neglect the slightest detail. Time was slowly lost, and it was finally dusk.

Zhou Chong came down from the tree and sent an order: "First eat Guokui, eat enough, and prepare for battle. As soon as the city signal was sent, the troops immediately advanced towards the target.

Remember: our heroic actions will praise our descendants, and they will sing our heroic deeds!”
