Ju Xin was surprised in his heart when he heard this, and even his tone became much higher: "What?"

Not only Ju Xin, but even several personal guards around Ju Xin heard this, and each of them showed a look of surprise on his face.

Is South Korea going to go to war with Zhao State? This is an absolute big deal!

Ju Xin took a deep breath and stared at the Zhao army soldier in front of him: "Be serious about this?"

This matter is very important, so I can't be careful about the drama. After all, South Korea is an ally of Zhao.

The Zhao soldier who came to report the news was extremely red, and he said with gritted teeth: "County magistrate, I am Sima Shang, the guardian of Changping Pass. He was ordered by hundreds of generals of Changping Pass to report the news. If there is any false report, I would be willing to accept military law!"

As he said that, Sima Shang took out a small token from his arms and handed it to Ju Xin.

Ju Xin took this small token and found it a little cold. The style still looked brand new. There was a "Zhao Shangdang" on the front and a "Changping Pass" on the north.

You should know that Changping Pass is one of the five passes of Taihangxing Pass in the South Shangdang, and belongs to the front line of defense in the South Shangdang. Therefore, although the guardians and officials in these five passes have low positions, they all have such an emergency token for reporting information.

When Ju Xinyi saw this token, his face changed again and knew that the matter was going on.

You should know that the county magistrate is also considered a senior general, especially county magistrates like Ju Xin who are stationed on the border of the country often report the border situation to the Central Committee of Zhao.

According to normal rules, if Zhao State might go to war with South Korea, even if the county soldiers of Shangdang County were not mobilized, there should be a secret order jointly issued by the monarch Zhao Dan and General Lian Po to let the county lieutenant prepare for war.

But this time, the Korean army had already arrived, but there was no information from Handan.

What does this mean? This shows that the top leaders of Zhao State did not realize this at all!

When Ju Xin thought of this, he knew that the trouble was really big this time!

Ju Xin looked solemn and asked Sima Shang in front of him again: "You are really sure there are tens of thousands of Korean soldiers?"

Sima Shang nodded vigorously and said, "At least 30,000, the number will only be more than 30,000, not less!"

What Sima Shang didn’t know was that this time there were actually a total of 150,000 Korean troops!

This is not Sima Shang. After all, Taihang Xing was originally very steep, and the 150,000 troops were bent around such places, which was not something he could see clearly on a small pass like Changping Pass.

What's more, as the saying goes, "A person is boundless once he passes through the boundless." If it weren't for the kind of general who often commanded the army to fight, even if he was flying over the head of the army in a plane, he wouldn't be able to tell how many people there were. Anyway, the eyes were full of people.

Ju Xin stood up, pointed out the two personal soldiers, and said, "You and the other two will bring Sima Shang back to my mansion and let him have a good rest. I will go and see the county magistrate!"

...

"What? One hundred thousand Korean troops attack Shangdang County?" When Shangdang County Magistrate Li Qi heard the news brought by Ju Xin, he was so shocked that he almost fainted.

You should know that there are only 5,000 county soldiers in Shangdang County now! How can we fight against a 100,000 Korean army with just 5,000 county soldiers?

Ju Xin looked at Li Qi's ruthless appearance. Although he knew that the matter was urgent now, a little pleasure flashed through his heart and asked you to reduce military expenses again.

However, Ju Xin knew that the overall situation was the most important, so he immediately said to Li Qi: "For the sake of the current plan, the county magistrate should quickly summon people from all over the countryside to the city, and then send people to Handan for help and warn Hedong County!"

Although Li Qi is now higher than Ju Xin in terms of official positions, Ju Xin naturally beats Li Qi many times compared to wars. Li Qi is also aware of himself and hurriedly said: "Everything is as the county magistrate said."

With the support of Li Qi, Ju Xin took away the dominance without hesitation, and ordered one by one began to be distributed in an orderly manner.

First, Ju Xin sent a large number of spies to Changping, south, to explore the real situation of the Korean army and find out how many Koreans came to attack Shangdang County this time.

Secondly, it is natural to summon farmers from all over the country to quickly go to the city to take shelter, or hide in the mountainous areas. Anyway, the Taihang Mountains are so deep that as long as you hide in the mountains, Koreans will not search the mountains with great fanfare.

Finally, we warned all over the North Shangdang Party, and big counties like Tunliu and the eldest son must be notified, otherwise the South Korean army would be in danger as soon as it drove to these county towns.

"Why is it the North Shangdang? Are there any counties in the South Shangdang?" Li Qi couldn't help but ask.

Ju Xin sighed and said, "County Magistrate, do you think that with the five thousand county soldiers under my command, can you save the counties of Nanshangdang?"

Li Qi's face looked like earth, and after a long time he said, "Since that's what he said, can only give up on Changping?"

"We must give up!" Ju Xin said firmly: "Monkey King, I am not afraid to talk to you directly. Not to mention Changping, even Changping Pass and Guguan may not be able to defend it. I have too few people under my command!"

"What should I do?" Li Qi's face was pale: "Will the Korean army be so swaying to the bottom of Changzhi City?"

Ju Xin sighed and said, "The county magistrate, relying on these five thousand troops alone, defending Changzhi is the most likely option to support the arrival of reinforcements, unless the county magistrate wants to abandon the city."

Li Qi was speechless.

Abandoning the city? Anyone may abandon the city, but as the highest-level official of Shangdang County, if Li Qi abandoned the city, then Zhao Dan would definitely not let him go. The five horses were dismembered and the corpse was light, and at least one clan was killed.

How dare Li Qi abandon the city?

So the Shangdang County Magistrate gritted his teeth, threw his sleeves angrily, and looked righteous and said, "I am guarding the king. Now that the enemy is attacking, the people of Shangdang are shocked. It is the time when I am loyal to the king. How can I say escape? Even if the county magistrate is at ease, I will do my best to help!"

As soon as Li Qi said this, Ju Xin was relieved.

If Li Qi still wants to fight Ju Xin at this time, then this battle will be really difficult to fight, and it will be difficult to fight even if it is not done right.

Ju Xin looked at Li Qi in a deep voice and said, "County magistrate, if Shangdang is taken away, then both Ruwu and Wu cannot escape. Please help each other this time!"

The two of them had decided to make up their minds, so they naturally did their own things.

In just two days, bad news came one after another.

The Korean army headed north along Taihangxing, and captured all five passes of Taihangxing with unstoppable momentum, entering Changping, which Lian Po and Bai Qi fought a few years ago.

Judging from the dangers of the Taihang Xing Road, Jin Mou's marching speed is indeed the most important thing.

As of this day, the entire Southern Shangdang had fallen into the hands of the Koreans.

Not only that, Jin Mou continued to divide his troops in Changping, with 50,000 troops from the northwest of Changping. After conquering Changping Pass, the troops headed directly to Changzi County. In addition, Jin Mou personally led the main force of the 100,000 people across Changping, and came to Changzhi County, where Shangdang County was located.

Two days later, the eldest son and Changzhi counties were surrounded one after another. The invincible steps of the Korean army were finally blocked here. Two fierce offensive and defensive battles began to take place in the northern plains of Shangdang County.
