Through Time Chapter 505

After getting the news out, Zhao Lang didn’t linger much longer at the Technical College.

The snow on the road was now slowly melting, and after this coldest part of the year, all the forces would also be on the move.

There were many things to do and it was not the time to enjoy oneself yet.

The men were led directly from the hall towards the exit of the technical courtyard.

Just as he was about to leave, a howl from Han Wangxin rang out in the middle of the hall, and

“Who are you! You dare to leave before my king has even given the word!”

Immediately afterwards, there was a cracking sound whistling from behind Zhao Lang.

It was a cup.

Only before the cup could reach him, it was knocked to the ground by Xiao Liu.

There was a crunching sound.

Everyone looked over.

Han Wangxin was even pointing at his opponent at this point, roaring that

“Who are you that you dare to knock down my king’s cup!”

“Kneel down and beg for mercy at once, or this king will not let you go!”

Zhao Lang turned around with a frown at this time, and the two of them were instantly facing each other with all eyes.

“It’s you!”

Bang.

Seeing Zhao Lang, Han Wangxin took two consecutive steps backwards almost instantly in shock, then sat straight down on the ground, and the hand pointing at Zhao Lang dropped instantly.

But after looking at Zhao Lang, who only had a few attendants with him, his face instantly changed from shock to joy as he sat down on the ground and shouted wildly that

“Come on, men! Come on, men!”

“Arrest this man for this king!”

If he could capture Zhao Lang, then he would have a chance to turn his defeat around!

Hearing the shout, a large number of soldiers quickly poured in from outside.

Surrounding the entire hall of the technical courtyard, seeing that the general situation had been decided, Han Wangxin stood up and laughed wildly, saying

“Hahahaha, King of Zhao! How dare you enter the city alone!”

“Today, even if you are a great warrior! You will not be able to break out of my King’s army! Heaven help me!”

“What are you waiting for? Hurry up and take him down!”

But all the surrounding soldiers did not move a muscle, but looked at Zhao Lang.

Zhao Lang, who was standing in the middle, gave Han Wangxin a somewhat disgusted look, how could he have time to play such tricks with the other side now.

Directly, he said.

“Watch him and be let him die.”

And then straight away he left the place.

Watching as his army let Zhao Lang out, only to surround himself.

Han Wangxin was so stunned that he could not even speak, and once again collapsed to the ground, his eyes a hollow void.

He understood, it turned out that he had simply been in the other side’s control all along.

“Kill me! Kill me!”

With a few pleading words, Han Wangxin said to the servant at his side.

The servant sighed, but this time took the initiative to pour a cup of wine for the other man, saying that

“Your Majesty, drink one more cup.”

Han Wangxin took the glass and drank it all in one go, before collapsing on the ground.

The soldiers beside him, however, were expressionless, and even the two sergeants in the corner were laughing and snickering.

“How much land did the farmers give your family this time?”

“An acre and three cents a person!”

“Hey, so does my family, and it says that those barren lands are also my family’s as long as they are reclaimed!”

“When times are peaceful, we’ll go home and farm properly!”

As they were discussing, Zhao Lang had by this time made his way back to the barracks.

Only when he returned did he receive the news that

“Master, to hell with them comes the letter.”

The slave reported with a worried look on his face that

“The Huns are intent on moving south.”

Soon, the slave explained the situation.

Zhao Lang’s brow furrowed as he listened, there hadn’t been many good news these days.

Once the Xiongnu grew stronger, I was afraid that they would not let the Hu people go either, then once they did, their own back roads would be broken.

And his own base, Liaodong, was within the attack range of Goguryeo.

The Great Qin homeland, whether it is Xiang Sheng or Great Qin Sheng, has no place for itself.

For a time, it seemed to be in a desperate situation!

Zhao Lang closed his eyes slightly, then took a breath and eased himself.

Things weren’t that serious yet.

The Yun Meng Ze, Han and Wei, and the Qi Di peninsula were all in his hands.

Liaodong is not impossible to defend as long as the support is timely. A winter has passed and Liaodong’s crossbows and gunpowder should be fully prepared.

The Xiongnu, with the Qin border army watching, were not too threatening for the time being.

But for him, it’s time to get a grip.

I’m afraid he can’t wait until Xiang and the Qin army have a showdown, and since most of the Qin army has already reached the vicinity of Dingtao anyway, there’s not much of a problem, so he’ll save his old man first and then see what happens.

With everything worked out in his mind, Zhao Lang quickly instructed that

“Send a letter to Han Xin, Xiao He, Xiang’s train up the soldiers and be ready to support Liaodong.”

“Send another letter to Liaodong to produce black gunpowder at full strength.”

Previously, Zhao Lang had basically not even used much black powder, for one thing, the production was really not enough and the production process was difficult enough.

Secondly, he still didn’t want to use this great killing weapon, on the Chinese.

But for outsiders, he didn’t have so many scruples.

Black powder, the best weapon for doing more with less!

“Pass the order again, as soon as the snow melts, the army will march to Wuguan!”

It doesn’t really matter if we fight Xianyang or not, as long as we receive our old man and keep Liaodong and the grasslands, it’s a victory, because time is on his side!

“Yes! Master!”

Soon, Nu left in a hurry.

Soon, a procession of messengers, headed in all directions.

A few days later, the land of Qi.

Tian Du, the King of Qi, was drinking wine with a complicated expression on his face.

His mind reverberated with what Fan Zeng had said when he came to visit him not long ago, the

“King of Qi, now that the situation in the world has changed, the decline of the kings of the six kingdoms is inevitable.”

“If the King of Qi enters the border with us, with his current military strength of over 30,000, it will not be a problem to obtain the title of the new king.”

“As long as the King of Qi’s military achievements are sufficient, then the new king’s territory will be more than just a small Qi land.”

After thinking long and hard, he made up his mind!

“King of the six kingdoms, even the most powerful king of Zhao has declined, so there is no need for my king to be trapped in the land of Qi!”

“A new royal family will be established by this king!”

“Someone, send a message! Xiao He to stay behind and Han Xin to accompany my King’s expedition!”

Today, these two men were already his men long ago.

Soon, the messenger arrived in the army camp.

After listening to the message and waiting for the messenger to leave, Han Xin smiled and said to Xiao He that

“This King of Qi has really come together with Xiang after all… hehehe, the King of Zhao will not let him off this time.”

Xiao He also shook his head with some regret, and

“The world is always greedy, it’s not uncommon.”

Having said this, Xiao He’s eyes flickered slightly and said to Han Xin that

“Brother Han, you have great talent and are bound to achieve great things, so don’t get confused when the time comes.”

It was only these days that Xiao He had truly seen how terrifying Han Xin was.

In just a few short months of winter, he had actually trained a 30,000-strong army that could be used!

Even with Zhao Lang’s veterans as the backbone, this was still a bit too terrifying.

But the more this happened, the more worried he became.

Remembering Han Xin’s friendship in chasing him under the moon, he did not want Han Xin to go off on a tangent.

Han Xin did not seem to hear the other side’s meaning at this time, but said with some emotion that

“I am not considered to be of great natural talent, the King of Zhao is.”

“Right, brother Xiao, this time I’m going out with my men, so you should seize the opportunity to take control of the whole Qi land!”

Hearing these words, Xiao He only said with a reassuring smile that

“Don’t worry, when you return, the Qi land will definitely be under our control!”

Only then did the two men burst into laughter at the same time, not caring, of course, that the attendants behind them were looking coldly at their necks.
