Wang Jian unsheathed his sword, then took out his own sword and clashed it for a while.

Although the sword was not cut off, the sword had been cut with a chip and crack.

Looking at the knife again, it was safe and sound.

"It is indeed a good knife."

"It's a little worse than General Bai's original horizontal sword, but it's still useful enough."

"General Bai really wants to give me the extra thousand knives?"

Wang Jian said and looked at Bai Zhong expectantly.

No one would want such a good knife.

Bai Zhong said: "I promised the general, how can I break my promise? The general can take it back first and check if there are any problems. If there is any problem, tell me as soon as possible, and then go to the craftsmen to settle the accounts."

Wang Jian said with satisfaction: "Then I won't be polite, put them all away and take them away!"

The short soldiers beside him loaded the extra thousand knives back into the vehicle and took them back to their camp.

Bai Zhong sent Wang Jian away, and then looked at the Iron Eagle warriors, all lining up to receive weapons. Soon each of them received a sword, and they all imitated Wang Jian's method, cutting their own original bronze swords to test the sword.

the quality of.

"General, I have tried everything and there is nothing wrong with the knife."

After a while, Luo Qing came over first to report.

Bai Zhong nodded slightly: "These knives will be the weapons you use to kill enemies on the battlefield from now on. The knives will be more effective when combined with the enemy-killing skills I teach you. You will be able to experience it when you get to the battlefield. Now mount them all for me and continue.

Practice horseback shooting and horseback slashing."

In terms of equestrian skills, each of them has become extremely proficient in equestrian skills in the past four months.

However, there is currently no chance to go to the battlefield and fight with real cavalry with real swords and guns, so it is impossible to determine their strength.

The training for immediate combat quickly went on for several more days.

Bai Zhong saw that their training was almost the same, so he asked them to practice beheading in foot combat and adapt to the weight and usage of this kind of sword as soon as possible.

Time passed quickly, and before I knew it, it was May of the fifteenth year of King Qin's reign.

Bai Zhong got the news that Ying Zheng was going to summon all their generals, and immediately returned to Xianyang Palace from the military camp. When he walked into the main hall, he saw that most of Ying Zheng's ministers had arrived.

At this time, Ying Zhenghui summoned them, and they had an idea at the same time.

That was the time to send troops to destroy Zhao.

"I have received news that there is a severe drought in Zhao State. Last year's autumn grain harvest was not harvested, and this year's spring plowing is almost impossible to sow. Do you think this is a great opportunity?"

Ying Zheng could hardly contain the excitement in his heart.

The drought in Zhao was like God giving him an opportunity to send troops to destroy Zhao.

Bai Zhong thought about the development trajectory after the destruction of Han. Zhao State had indeed experienced a drought, so Qin State would send troops to destroy Zhao State.

Ying Zheng should have known last year that the drought in Zhao was severe, but he waited patiently until May and found out that Zhao could not even carry out spring plowing. He was even more eager to destroy Zhao.

"This is a great opportunity given to you by God."

Although Duke Heng was old, he often participated in various discussions. First of all, he said: "The Zhao State is suffering from a severe drought. The army is short of food and grass. The Zhao army is not full. How can it have the strength to fight? A famine will soon break out in the Zhao State.

When the country is in chaos and our Qin army invades the Zhao territory again, it will be like adding fuel to the fire. What can Zhao Wangqian do to deal with it?"

Everyone else agreed with this statement and nodded in agreement.

"good!"

Ying Zheng said loudly: "General, I have ordered you to lead the army to destroy Zhao. How many men do you think are needed for this battle?"

Wang Jian was famous for his stability in fighting. Considering that the strength of Zhao State was not bad, he said: "I need an army of 300,000, and Zhao will be destroyed!"

Ying Zheng said decisively: "Lantian camp sent 100,000 troops, and Shangjun still had 100,000 troops. All the few were handed over to the general, and then they crossed the Taihang Mountains and invaded the northern part of Zhao State. As for the remaining 100,000 troops, they were sent from Hedong County.

, Meng Qing!"

"I'm here!"

Meng Wu strode forward.

Ying Zheng continued: "Does Meng Qing have the confidence to attack Yecheng again?"

Last year in Yecheng, Meng Wu was forced to retreat by the three Jin coalition forces. It was one of his few defeats. When he heard that the king was willing to give him another chance, he immediately accepted the order and said: "I will never let the king down."

The troops were divided into two groups to destroy Zhao. Wang Jian's 200,000 men attacked the north of Zhao, and Meng Wu's 100,000 men attacked the south. There was no problem with this arrangement, and they had no other opinions.

Ying Zheng was very satisfied, his eyes fell on Bai Zhong, and continued: "Bai Qing."

"I'm here!"

"You will stay with the general in this battle. Li Mu has been stationed in the north. This time when we break into the northern part of the Zhao Kingdom, we will definitely face off against Li Mu."

Ying Zheng asked: "Is Bai Qing confident in defeating Li Mu and taking over the northern part of Zhao State?"

Bai Zhongzuo bowed and said, "I can bring back Li Mu's head."

“So best!”

Ying Zheng Fu Zhang said.

"Your Majesty, I have a plan."

At this time, Li Si stood up and said.

"Tingwei, tell me quickly!"

"As Duke He said, there will soon be a famine in Zhao. At that time, Zhao Wangqian will have no choice but to purchase grain from other countries to alleviate domestic problems."

Li Si narrowed his eyes and continued: "Among the current six countries, the only one who has the ability to sell large amounts of grain to Zhao is Qi State. I think we should join forces with Qi State to prevent Qi State from selling grain to Zhao State.

Zhao Guo, you must know that although the Zhao army is hungry, it is not as weak as the Han army. It will be easier to defeat them if they are starved first."

As soon as he finished saying this, the others thought for a moment and thought it was feasible.

The overall strength of the Zhao army is much stronger than that of Han, and with generals like Li Mu around, it is unlikely that Zhao will be destroyed in the same way as Han was destroyed, and it will easily fall into a stalemate.

For example, the previous Battle of Changping lasted for three years.

In a long-term and sustained war, the competition is national strength.

Qin's national strength is naturally no problem. The Zhengguo Canal in Guanzhong in the north has had good harvests year after year. In the south, there are thousands of fertile fields in Bashu and Dujiangyan, which can provide a continuous supply of food.

Zhao State is experiencing a severe drought. Trying to find a way to starve it will accelerate the intensification of conflicts and make it easier to destroy the country.

"This is a very good plan by Tingwei, sir!"

Ying Zheng said again.

Shangqing Yao Jia hurriedly stepped forward and said: "I am here."

Ying Zheng said: "You send an envoy to Qi as soon as possible and persuade the King of Qi to stop supplying food to Zhao. If the King of Qi does not agree, don't blame me for being cruel."

"only!"

Yao Jia responded: "We, Great Qin, have signed an alliance with Qi State, and the King of Qi dare not disobey."

Ying Zheng nodded slightly and said: "Wang Jian, Meng Wu, you will go out to fight in half a month, that's it!"

"only!"

Wang Jian and Meng Wu responded in unison.

The plan and approach to destroy Zhao were thus finalized.

Then Yingzheng asked Feng Quji, the governor of Su Nei, to mobilize grain and grass as soon as possible within this half month and transport them to Shangjun and Hedong counties respectively.

The prelude to the destruction of Zhao is about to begin.

Qin's progress in destroying the six kingdoms has accelerated a lot.
