System: I let you have children, not fight for hegemony

Chapter 133 Setting Up a Bureau (1)

It has been three days since the Qin army besieged Xinzhong City, but the gate of Xinzhong City is still closed.

Facing the Qin army's call, the defender of New Central City pretended to be deaf and mute, neither agreeing nor rejecting, which was very scumbag style.

Although the siege equipment was being built in an orderly manner, the occasional siege or two was just a show-off.

Wang Hao and Zhang Tang didn't seem to be in a hurry. They asked the soldiers to build two new barriers outside the military camp to resist the enemy. It seemed that they planned to face a long-term confrontation.

"You are wasting your time!" Zheng Anping was eager to make great achievements so that he could make up for it.

Wang Hao said solemnly with a straight face: "I am the commander-in-chief! If you shake the morale of the army, you will be dealt with according to the military law!"

Zheng Anping's heart skipped a beat, but when he came back to his senses, he felt ashamed of his fear just now.

Zheng Anping said angrily: "I want to repair a book for you! Don't you think Bai Qi is still alive?"

Wang Hao clenched his joints and gritted his teeth.

Many fishes hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over: "General Zheng's mouth is faster than his brain. He talks but doesn't mean what he means, right?"

Zheng Anping looked around at Wang Lang's body as strong as a bear, and felt frightened. He wanted to borrow the donkey from Poxia, but he couldn't let it go.

Many fish exchanged glances with Wang Lu and Zhang Kang.

Zhang Kang stood up and said: "Since General Zheng advocates attack, why not hand over Xinliang City to General Zheng for guarding?"

Zheng Anping was moved. A few days ago, Wang Lu sent his lieutenants to attack Xinliang City. Currently, most of Xinliang City has been captured.

Leading the troops yourself is equivalent to picking peaches, a proper military achievement!

Moreover, this lieutenant general was an old acquaintance of his. He was guarding Fencheng with him that day, and he was a fool who only knew how to fight.

"Good." Zheng Anping felt itchy and immediately agreed. Before leaving, he added, "I want to take away my [-] troops."

Zheng Anping was worried about leading Wang Lu's soldiers. Those soldiers had always admired Bai Qi, and if they were not good for him...

"Tsk." Wang Hao glanced sideways at Zheng Anping.

Zheng Anping didn't jump, and stood stubbornly on the spot.

Zhang Tang patted Wang Hao's shoulder reassuringly and agreed on Wang Hao's behalf: "Shan. You can go and count the troops."

Until Zheng Anping returned to his tent happily, Duo Yu and the other three smiled meaningfully at each other.

The three of them continued to maintain a siege posture, and no one mentioned taking the initiative to attack.

In the eyes of many fish, this siege was too leisurely. The soldiers' daily tasks were to dig fortifications and feint attacks to harass.

On this day, news came that the Qin army had captured Xinliang City, causing the Qin army's siege camp outside Xinzhong City to boil.

The army is a place where good news is reported but not bad news. Military officials will try their best to hide news of failure.

But if it was a good news, they wished every soldier knew about it.

This good deed was spread both inside and outside the camp, which relieved the Qin army's sense of depression that they had not accomplished anything during the siege of the city for several days, and there was laughter and joy everywhere.

On the arrow tower at the head of Xinzhong City, the guard also noticed a small movement in the Qin army's camp and felt uneasy.

"Why are the Qin troops cheering outside the city? Could it be that Handan was captured?"

But it’s impossible!New Central City stood in front of Handan, blocking the main force of the Qin Army. Whenever there was a change in the main force of the Qin Army, it was impossible for him not to notice it.

Based on the fear of the Qin army, the guard arranged for his soldiers to wait on the wall all day long to observe the movements of the Qin army.

Whether new enemy troops arrive, whether enemy troops leave quietly, the number of stove fires, the layout of Qin's camp, the location of the general's tent, the storage of horses and chariots, and where the grain is piled, all these must be recorded on Mudu. .

The guard dug out the records and found no large-scale mobilization of troops.So why are the Qin troops cheering?
Before you know it, night has come.

In the Qin army's camp outside the city, the campfires were slowly lighting up, reflecting each other's colors with the millions of stars in the sky.On the wall, Zhao troops were guarding in twos and threes, waiting for danger. They had food and accommodation at the top of the city because they had to be alert to the Qin army's attack at any time.

To the Zhao people, the Qin army was an invading bandit, and jackals were wandering outside the city. How could there be any reason to relax and sleep peacefully?

What's more, this is a wolf with no humanity and a blood feud with the Zhao people!

"General! Xinliang City has been captured by the Qin army!" Zhao Zu felt sad and angry, worried about the people in Xinliang City.

The guard couldn't explain how he felt now. He was worried about Xinliang City being occupied, but he was also thankful that it was not Handan that was captured.

"General, why hasn't Handan sent troops yet?"

"If reinforcements don't come, all the Qin army's defenses will be completed!"

"Is it possible that the two countries Chu and Wei want to consume our Zhao country's military strength?"

The guard thought for a moment that this guess was not without basis.In order to deal with the siege of Handan, Zhao Guolian used all his troops and financial resources.

If in the confrontation with the Qin army, the main force of the Zhao army is consumed first, then even if Zhao wins, Chu and Wei will be able to unite and bite off a large piece of meat from Zhao!
"Don't talk nonsense, the leader of the coalition is Lord Xinling!"

Lord Xinling has a good reputation among the Seven Kingdoms, especially this time, he attacked Fencheng and rescued Lord Chunshen and Lord Pingyuan.

This amazing and brilliant operation immediately made him famous. At the very least, his prestige in Handan City was higher than that of Lian Po.

Lord Chunshen and Lord Pingyuan were grateful for Lord Xinling's life-saving grace, and they jointly respected Lord Xinling as their leader.

The Zhao soldiers stopped talking and just looked in the direction of Handan, looking forward to the arrival of reinforcements.

In Handan City, Lord Xinling personally led 15 troops and decided to rescue Xinzhong City, with the goal of driving the Qin army out of Zhao.

Before setting off, Lord Xinling quietly whispered to Lord Chunshen.

Lord Chun Shen nodded repeatedly to reassure Lord Xinling.

On this day, the Qin army planned to conduct a feint attack as usual, with both sides tacitly agreeing not to kill them. However, scouts came to report that a large number of soldiers and horses were attacking from the direction of Handan.

"Enemy attack!"

"Prepare defense!"

The new central city defender, who was always paying attention to the Qin army's movements, naturally discovered the reinforcements.

"The reinforcements are here!"

"The reinforcements from Handan are coming!"

"kill!"

The Zhao soldiers were like dying people who had been injected with a shot in the arm, and their shouts of beating and killing were so powerful!

Wang Lu reacted extremely quickly and mobilized the Qin army from attack to defense.

The Qin army and Xinling Lord's army briefly clashed, leaving many corpses on both sides before going back.

Lord Xinling declined the invitation of the garrison of Xinzhong City and did not lead his troops into Xinzhong City. Instead, he chose a spacious place to camp and ordered his soldiers to dig fortifications.

Lord Xinling originally planned to catch the Qin army by surprise and push the battlefield forward.

But as soon as he saw the dense fortifications built by the Qin army, Lord Xinling understood that this war would last for several days.

But it doesn't matter. With Handan at my back, the supply line is extremely short.The Qin army's supply lines are far away, and they can't fight their own way through consumption.

What's more, he still had a backup plan.

But, why is Qin Jun’s style different from before?
