Through Time Chapter 468

During these days, although he was trapped in the Qi Di, Zhao Lang did not stay idle either.

He consolidated the chassis given to him by Tian Du.

Arranged the docks for the fleet of boats, and by the way, asked Hai to take the fleet of boats, along the coastline, to scout the way south.

He had previously intended to return to Yunmengze by water.

Unfortunately it didn’t work out too well.

After all, if you want to go upstream in this era, there are places where you can only rely on a slender man to pull the boat.

Where to find someone now?

That’s what happens when you think about it.

The other thing is that some men have been recruited, essentially absorbing the original elite Qin army.

There were just less than two thousand elites in the entire East Giao County peninsula.

The elite manpower in Zhao Long’s hands had finally reached five thousand.

“I don’t know where those who talk about a hundred thousand troops at every turn, where did they get so many men?”

Zhao Lang said to himself.

Tian Du, who was beside him, froze for a moment and said that

“King Zhao, how do you know that Xiang Liang, Xiang Yu and the two of them have come with an army of 100,000 to support you?”

Only then did Zhao Lang come back to his senses, stunned for a moment, and said

“One hundred thousand troops? Where did he get such a large army?”

Not long had passed since Xiang’s uprising, and although the other side had prepared beforehand, this number was too exaggerated.

More importantly, how did the other side afford to raise it?

He could only raise these 5,000 men, and they were only just holding their own.

Raising soldiers is a costly exercise!

Tian Du returned, somewhat puzzled.

“King Zhao, won’t this be enough to recruit more peasants?”

“Give a suit of clothes, a bamboo spear, and don’t let the other side starve to death, and you’re a soldier.”

“There is no need for training either, and if you can consume one more arrow from the opponent when you throw them into battle, it’s all a profit.”

“Those who survive are the elite.”

Hearing this, Zhao Lang didn’t say much to the other side this time.

The idea of treating farmers as people was not something that Tian Du alone had either, and it was not realistic to try to change everyone’s perception.

But the little white lotus on the side couldn’t sit still.

Zhao Long hurriedly used his hand to hold the other side down, as Little White Lotus, who was all about the farmers, could not listen to such words.

Tian Du did not notice, but said anxiously that

“King Zhao, now is not the time to dwell on this, now the Qin army is pressing in.”

“Although Dingtao is Tian Rong’s territory, if Tian Rong is defeated, we are not destined to survive alone!”

“King of Zhao, how should we respond?”

Zhao Lang, of course, did not panic at all, and returned

“The King of Qi need not worry, nowadays, the Qin army is also short of manpower, plus the troops and food, in a short time, we are not in any serious trouble.”

It was not easy to fight a war in the Qin Empire, transportation was not convenient and sometimes a march could take a month.

Therefore, it is often seen that a battle sets the fate of the country.

For example, the Battle of Changping between Qin and Zhao, which had happened before.

So, both sides would prepare as well as they could.

Zhao Lang continued at this time that

“During these days, building defences and recruiting soldiers, everything that can be done is already being done.”

“The only thing left to do is to fight the Qin army with their lives.”

The Qin army was indeed short of soldiers now.

Zhao Long also did not expect that the Great Qin would have eight hundred thousand troops on its northern and southern borders.

The country was actually empty to such an extent.

Moreover, when the country rebelled, it did not move the troops in these two places.

By the time it was finally moved, the situation was already too great.

He could also vaguely understand why the Qin dynasty had fallen so quickly in his previous life.

However, what was revealed was how arrogant, how arrogant, or rather, how confident the First Emperor was?

Even if his own father was in the hands of the First Emperor, Zhao Lang still wanted to say, “The First Emperor is mighty.

If only he could have died earlier.

Of course, there was another reason Zhao Lang did not say, as long as the people of the Six Kingdoms did not arrive, the Qin army would not make a move.

After all, the purpose of the Qin army was to destroy the remaining members of the Six Kingdoms.

The two places, Xingyang and Dingtao, were the places chosen by the Qin army.

Zhao Lang understood somewhat what the First Emperor meant, that he would not introduce war into the Pass.

But Tian Du was all dumbfounded at this point, what do you mean there was no major damage in ten days?

What about after ten days? What about after ten days?

“King of Zhao, fighting for our lives? We are royalty, how can we…”

But before Tian Du could finish his sentence, Zhao Lang’s face was solemn as he said.

“King of Qi, when we rise against the Qin, we naturally have to anticipate the consequences.”

“Did you think that the Qin army would spare us?”

“King of Qi, this is a war!”

Tian Du was so taken aback by Zhao Lang’s words that he sat straight down.

Zhao Long didn’t even know how these people came up with the idea that they could live their lives properly, no.

Prefer to restore the royal family and want to rebel.

Now when it came time to fight for their lives, they instantly cried out to their parents again.

How could these people fight with the First Emperor?

Zhao Long felt very tired, there were not many reliable teammates.

Zhao Long quickly said that

“Don’t worry, King of Qi, when the time comes, my king will also lead the troops to support Tian Rong.”

Hearing these words, Tian Du’s face only looked better and returned that

“Then, thank you, King of Zhao.”

Zhao Lang nodded and after appeasing the other party for a while, he took Ji Wushuang and left the place.

To get Xiang Liang killed, there was always a chance to get close to the other party.

This time, when the other party came, they wouldn’t think of leaving.

Just worry that Xiang Liang won’t let him lead his troops into Qi land.

After all, the other side did not get along with himself and I was afraid that he would not give the opportunity so easily.

What a worry!

Zhao Lang took Ji Wushuang all the way back to his residence, looked at the cold looking Ji Wushuang and said with a smile.

“Still angry?”

Ji Wushuang shook her head and said

“In fact, it’s not a day or two since the world has looked down on the peasants.”

Zhao Lang nodded his head, that was true.

“It’s good that you have this in mind.”

Zhao Lang was then worried that Ji Wushuang would explode because of the matter of the peasants.

Just before he finished his words, Ji Wushuang said that

“Ah Long, I want to form the peasants’ own army!”

Zhao Lang froze for a moment as Ji Wushuang said, with a firm gaze

“The people of the world don’t treat us peasants as human beings, in their eyes, peasants are even worse than pigs and dogs!”

“If it means that no matter what, peasants have to die! Then why can’t peasants die for themselves?!”

“I will build an army to protect the peasants!”

Listening to Ji Wushuang’s words, Zhao Lang swallowed a little nervously and said that

“Little White Lotus, where did you get this idea from?”

Ji Wushuang looked at Zhao Lang at this time and said

“Ah Long, this idea is still from your Zhuangzi.”

“You made the farmers work when they were busy and train when they were resting, and the farmers were willing to train knowing that it was to protect their fields.”

“And those trained farmers are not weak in battle either!”

“That’s settled! Ah Long, you get busy first, I’ll go and contact the peasants in Qi Di!”

Looking at Ji Wushuang’s distant back, Zhao Lang’s entire body went numb.

At this moment, Chen Ping, who was at the side, said in a thoughtful manner

“Duke Long, King Yan has a point, in this way, for every place we take, we don’t have to keep too many men in place to stabilise the area.”

“It’s just that this matter is especially left to the King of Yan, so why don’t we do it ourselves.”

Chen Ping knew that Zhao Lang was the head of the farming family and had a natural advantage in doing this.

Zhao Lang could not help but reveal a bitter smile at this time.

Little White Lotus this approach is not only justified, it is simply ahead of its time, okay?

Although the other party had already done something similar in Yun Meng Ze.

But now, Ji Wushuang had actually made it clear that the peasants had to fight for themselves.

This was damning.

Shaking his head, Zhao Lang quickly said that

“Never mind, this any is most suitable to be given to the King of Yan, well, the King of Yan will not betray this King.”

Chen Ping also said no more, he could see these days that the relationship between the King of Yan and Gong Zi Lang was extraordinary.

Indeed, they were indistinguishable from each other.

Anyway, when the time came, the army of peasants trained would be Gong Zi Lang’s people.

There would be no hindrance.

“Right, Brother Chen Ping, how are our various supplies prepared?”

Chen Ping returned at this time that

“These days Brother Hai and the others have been busy, and all the various supplies are still plentiful for the time being.”

Zhao Lang nodded, and then said that

“Tell Brother Hai to work a little harder.”

These supplies looked like a lot, but they wouldn’t last long in a fight.

Chen Ping quickly led the order and left.

Zhao Lang also went back to his room, he had to think about whether there was a way to break the situation.

After all, escaping to the grassland was only the last resort.

Just then, Nu walked in, looking like a thief, and looked around for a moment, as if to see if there was anyone in the room.

Zhao Lang said, somewhat inexplicably

“There’s no one in the room, just say something, it’s not like I have anything to hide. ”

Slave then said.

“Master, a letter from the Qin army! ”

Hearing this, Zhao Lang jerked to his feet, looked around, and whispered that

“No one knows, right?”

Slave shook his head and said that

“Slave has been very careful since he received the message, no one knows.”

Only then did Zhao Lang nod, took the letter and said that

“You go outside and watch.”

Only after Niu had exited did Zhao Lang breathe a sigh of relief.

He was now the King of Zhao, and although he had the identity of the Qin army, this kind of communication would be bad after all if people knew about it.

When he opened the letter, a hint of oddity surfaced on Zhao Lang’s face.

This letter was written by Meng Yi.

Ask him about the remnants of the Six Kingdoms.

And he also told him the route of the Qin army’s attack on Dingtao and told him not to resist.

This had been said to him before by the First Emperor, and he himself would not put up a fight.

Soon afterwards, Zhao Lang wrote a reply.

Being a thief, he asked his slave to send the letter out.

Although he was not the same as the remaining members of the Six Kingdoms, Zhao Lang still felt dishonoured in his heart for doing such a thing.

It was just that for the sake of his old dad, he had no choice.

Soon, a fast horse was heading in the direction of Xingyang.

At that moment, the nearest city to Xingyang, in the county of Daqin, was in the city of Xingyang.

A Qin army is stationed here, inside the tent of the central army.

A great general of the Qin army, who is talking to a young man and a middle-aged man, is

“Wang Li, now the remaining villains of the Six Kingdoms are marching towards Xingyang and Dingtao, claiming an army of 100,000, but our army is only 30,000.”

The young man was none other than Wang Li, who had been sent out by his family.

Wang Jian and Wang Ben were old, Meng Tian was stationed on the northern border, and the Great Qin needed new generals.

Wang Li quickly said that

“Minister Meng, although the opponents are numerous, they are more or less tainted, so we can take them down in one go!”

“Eliminate the rebels and put down the rebellion as soon as possible.”

In his mind, 30,000 Qin troops, even if they were all county soldiers, would be enough to sweep these rebels away head-on.

After hearing Wang Li’s words, Meng Yi asked the middle-aged man at his side instead of dismissing the question.

“Zhang Han, what do you think?”

Zhang Han pondered a little and said.

“Your Majesty, this battle is mainly about killing the rebels and eliminating the remaining members of the Six Kingdoms.”

“Our army can besiege Xingyang and force the rebel reinforcements to move quickly, thus tiring the other side.”

“When the other side is almost there, we will break Xingyang and discourage them.”

“Then we will show the enemy weakness and draw them to Dingtao, then destroy them in one fell swoop!”

Listening to Zhang Han’s analysis, Meng Yi’s eyes lit up slightly, the only reason he called Zhang Han to come was because the other side had gotten Zhao Lang’s attention.

He did not expect that the other party would be so talented!

Meng Yi quickly nodded his head and said.

“This is a very good plan!”

“Wang Li, you need to learn more from General Zhang.”

Wang Li said, with high spirits and quite a bit of defiance, to

“Although General Zhang is a great talent, he is no match for Gongzi Lang.”

Gongzi Lang?

Hearing this name, Zhang Han’s heart moved slightly.

Meng Yi did not say anything more, but did not stop it either.

He had already greeted the other side, he just didn’t say anything through.

Anyway, when the time came, when everyone met on the battlefield, they would naturally understand.

“Alright, all the ministries will proceed as planned, and when the military is ready, we will immediately besiege Xingyang!”

“Yes!”

The two men soon led their orders and left.

Time passed, and ten days later, Zhao Lang did not wait for news from Xiang Liang, but waited for a letter of distress from the king of Wei, Guiao.

“Xingyang is besieged by the Qin army? King Kou of Wei is also in it?”

Zhao Long frowned at the messenger in front of him.

Meng Yi had given him the plan for the Qin army to attack Dingtao, but had not told him about the plan for Xingyang.

It was unthinkable that the Qin army had now attacked Xingyang.

The messenger, who was by now full of fatigue, said that

“King of Zhao, the only one who can save the King of Wei now is you!”

Zhao Lang, however, frowned slightly; he actually felt quite good about the King of Wei’s guilt.

If he could save it, he would be willing to save the other side.

And it was a good deal as he could also gain fame.

But Xingyang was not close to here, even if he took his army and travelled day and night.

By the time they got there, it would be too late.

The Qin army would be waiting for them, and I’m afraid that I would have to pay for all of my wealth.

Zhao Long would not be able to do anything that would harm himself and benefit others.

Thinking of this, Zhao Lang let out a slight breath and said.

“I am sorry, but I am afraid that this king cannot save each other either.”

The messenger’s face was miserable as he said that

“Is the King of Wei going to die from this?”

Hearing these words, Zhao Lang’s heart suddenly stirred and he said to himself.

“Xingyang will definitely not be defended, but the King of Wei will not necessarily die.”

“Nu, go and call Xiao Liu here!”

Two days later, Xingyang.

At this time, under the city of Xingyang was a blackened Qin army.

The solemn formation of the army had a murderous aura that was difficult for ordinary people to endure!

At the top of the city, King Kou of Wei looked at the Qin army below the city with a ghastly face and asked his subordinates.

“How much longer before General Xiang arrives?”

The subordinate replied in a dry tone.

“General Xiang wrote back that the army will not arrive for another two days.”

A hint of bitterness appeared on the face of Wei Wang’s gui, two days.

If the Qin army attacked the city, they wouldn’t be able to defend it for half a day!

The king of Wei, with a few moments of hope, quickly asked, once again

“Has there been a reply from the King of Zhao?”

The minister shook his head in silence.

King Blame of Wei smiled bitterly and said

“It is also true that my king is General Xiang’s man, so how could the King of Zhao come to my rescue?”

After saying this, a hint of despair flashed across the face of the King of Wei’s Blame.

He thought of restoring his country, but he did not think that the royal family of Wei would be cut off at his hands.

And to drag all the people in the city with him.

Soon, a hint of determination appeared in the eyes of the king of Wei, Kui, and said

“Go and tell the Qin army that if they are willing to spare the people in the city, the king is willing to surrender.”

“And, I am willing to burn myself at the head of the city to thank them for their sins!”
