Dun Ruo's plan was only half successful, but he knew that with the strength of the Zhao army and the thick walls of Handan, Yang Duanhe and others would not be able to break through Handan in a short time.
Lian Po's resignation only accelerated the demise of Zhao State. The key to Zhao State now lies in Wu'an Jun Li Mu.
At this moment, Dun Ruo knew that they could not stay in Handan, otherwise, they would be in danger of death.
Dunruo's quiet retreat did not affect the development of the situation in Handan City. It was not that Guo Kai's power did not notice the traces of Dunruo's departure, but he did not pay attention.
After all, Dunwei is just a strategist.
Such people are not even the makers of the national policy of the Qin Dynasty. Detaining a weak person will only continue to antagonize the Qin State and make the situation of Zhao State into trouble, and will not make the situation better.
What's more, now all Guo Kai's forces are concentrated, trying to control Handan in the shortest possible time.
He doesn't care at all about small things like weakening his body.
Outside Handan City.
Separated by a wall, any sudden changes that occurred in Handan City could not be hidden from Huan Jue, Li Xin and others.
In the shogunate of the Qin army, Huan Jue looked solemnly and said to Li Xin: "Heibingtai has verified the news. Guo Kai has taken action against Lian Po. The current Handan guard is Han Cang, the commander of Zhao State."
"Lian Po has been dismissed, and the Zhao army has changed hands."
"Yang Duan and his army have already moved south. They are now in the north of Handan. Now that they are in my hands, if we go all out, we may not be able to defeat Handan."
Having said this, Huan Jue took a deep look at Li Xin and said, "General Li Xin, what do you think?"
After hearing this, Li Xin was silent for a long time. His eyes were always on the map. It took a long time before he spoke.
"General, I do not recommend attacking Handan at this moment. Guo Kai has already taken action and the devil has been released. He will not stop."
"Now that Lian Po is still alive, Zhao Jun can use it at any time. Since Guo Kai has already taken action, let's encourage Guo Kai to get rid of Lian Po for us."
Li Xin met Huan Yan's gaze and said in a firm tone: "I think this is also secretly promoted by the Pedestrian Department. We might as well contact Dunxi first to confirm?"
It's not that Li Xin doesn't want to make meritorious deeds, Yang Duan and Zhao Shou are also eager to do so, but as generals, they must serve the overall situation.
"good."
Nodding, Huan Yan also said in a deep voice: "This matter will be handled according to your opinion. Verify with Heibingtai as soon as possible."
"promise."
Huan Jue knew that the Qin Wangzheng's war was not only to destroy the Zhao State, but also to train a younger generation of generals in this war.
Although he is the commander-in-chief of this large army, the key is not him, but the deputy general Li Xin.
In the Northern Army shogunate, Yang Duanhe looked solemn, and Xin Sheng looked solemn: "General, Heibingtai has verified that the Handan guard has been replaced by Hancang."
"Furthermore, according to the news sent by Heibingtai, Mr. Dunruo from the Pedestrian Station is in the city and will retreat in our direction."
Hearing this, Yang Duanhe nodded: "At the same time, the cavalry officers and soldiers greeted Dunwei and protected him."
"At the same time, let the people in Heibingtai keep an eye on the changes in Handan City."
"promise."
Nodding in agreement, Xin Sheng turned and left. Yang Duanhe's eyes flashed with solemnity. He knew in his heart that Handan City would not be able to be conquered in a short time even if the guard was changed.
With thoughts in his mind, Yang Duanhe turned and looked in the direction of Xindu in the north. Compared to the situation in Handan City, he was a little worried about Zhao Shu in Xindu.
No matter what the overall situation was, he always left the trouble to Zhao Shu. As the commander-in-chief of an army, Yang Duanhe naturally knew how complicated the situation in Xindu was.
He was a little worried in his heart, and Zhao Shu couldn't bear to accept the letter.
Compared with war, politics is the most dangerous thing. Zhao Shu, a fledgling young man, can easily suffer losses when dealing with those old and cunning people.
However, he had no other choice.
Even so, he felt that his troops were insufficient at this moment. After all, if he wanted to attack Handan in an all-out way, it was simply impossible.
Even if it was Guo Kai who solved the biggest problem for them.
After all, he only has more than 60,000 soldiers in his hands now, and this is despite the serious shortage of troops in Wu'an and Xindu cities.
This battle, unlike other sieges, requires the capture of Wu'an and Xindu.
.......
Xindu.
Compared to the entanglement between Yang Duanhe and Huan Jue, Zhao Shu was very calm at the moment. Anyway, he guarded Xindu, and apart from internal problems, there were basically no external threats.
"General, news came from Heibingtai that something happened in Handan City. Han Cang replaced Lian Po and became the guard general of Handan."
Hearing this, Zhao Shu breathed a sigh of relief; Lian Po lost his military power, and even if Yang Duanhe and others were unable to attack Handan in a short time, there would be no reinforcements.
In this way, Xindu where he is located will be safe and sound, and he can safely solve the troubles within Xindu.
"General, what should we do now?" Xin Du frowned. Zhao Shu forcibly suppressed the major families, causing Xin Du to be crumbling.
If the officials had not been purged in advance, the Qin army's rule in Xindu would have been over long ago.
Hearing this, Zhao Shu gritted his teeth and said, "We are ordered by the capital to count up the land owned by the powerful families who participated in the rebellion this time."
"Then, you will be personally responsible for transporting all the food to one place, and then entering it into the morning market at a low price to reduce the soaring food prices to ensure the livelihood of the people."
"This is the key. Food prices in Xindu must be suppressed. Otherwise, it is only a matter of time before our people will be in chaos."
"promise."
Nodding in agreement, Xindu ordered him to turn around and leave. Zhao Shu pondered for a long time, then turned to Yasufu and said, "Stop five hundred or more generals from preaching Qin law to the people in the city."
"Tell them that as long as they behave themselves and abide by the law, Ben will allocate land to them."
"At the same time, you are personally responsible for this matter, and the people in the city will take this opportunity to register in the Yellow Register for population statistics."
"promise."
When Commander Yasuo and Xindu ordered to leave, Zhao Shu looked at the map in the shogunate and remained silent. This was a great opportunity.
However, as soon as the idea came up, he was killed by Zhao Shu. Everyone with him was under the eyes of Qin Wangzheng, and it was most unwise to develop his power now.
"It's just that I have no one to use, so I can do nothing." Zhao Shu sighed with emotion, and a ruthless look appeared in Zhao Shu's eyes.
In order to stabilize Xindu, he doesn't mind using the dragon-slaying technique to stabilize Xindu. As for the future, he can't control much.
Of course, when it comes to dividing the land, he will definitely take action himself to win the hearts and minds of the people in the capital and establish a powerful city guard.
Otherwise, just three thousand troops guarding a big city would be too frightening, and even sleeping at night would be unsettling.
