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

Chapter 44 Breakthrough
Zhao Kuo realized that something was wrong. Lord Wu An had no intention of fighting and only wanted to trap him to death.

"Prepare to break out immediately!"

After Zhao Kuo killed some of the horses and fed the elite troops, he divided the main force into four teams and organized a breakout in turns.

"kill!"

The sun had just crossed the horizon, and a dim twilight shone on the top of the mountain.

The sound of drums and horns intertwined, and the rapid running and collision of hundreds of thousands of people made the ground beneath their feet seem to tremble.

The Qin army occupied the fortifications and mercilessly greeted the Zhao soldiers with a hail of arrows.

The people of Zhao were good at martial arts. At this last moment of life and death, everyone showed their tenacious fighting spirit and successfully climbed to the first level of fortifications to fight hand-to-hand with the Qin army!
However, the bravery of the Qin army did not give in, and Zhao Jun's successive breakthroughs were all beaten back!

"General, what should we do?" Zhao Jun has been short of food for a long time, and his combat power has been greatly reduced. Every time he fails to break out, he weakens himself.

Zhao Kuo spat out the blood in his mouth and said: "I am taking the lead, you follow me! This time we will not separate our troops, the whole army will break through!"

"Here!"

This was a bloody, protracted and tragic breakout.

Both Qin and Zhao suffered heavy losses.

Zhao Kuo looked down at the several feather arrows inserted into his chest, and his mind flashed back to his high spirits when he set off for the battle.

Zhao Kuo shouted at the top of his lungs: "Kill!"

Fight out, break out, 30 young people cannot be trapped and die in Changping!

After Zhao Kuo shouted, he fell to the ground. Zhao Jun was leaderless for a while.

"What are the casualties of our army?" Bai Qi looked at the corpses scattered all over the mountains and plains, feeling calm in his heart.

"More than half!"

"Shout loudly, Zhao Kuo is dead, and those who surrender will not be killed!" The Qin army's 60-strong army had emptied the foundation accumulated by generations, and there was no need to make fearless sacrifices.

"Those who surrender will not be killed!" Qin Jun shouted loudly, echoing in the valley.

The two lieutenants looked at each other, then looked at Qing Zhuang behind them, whose hands and feet were weak from hunger. They gritted their teeth and said, "Surrender! We surrender!"

When the Zhao envoy arrived at Changping, Zhao Kuo had been killed and all the remaining 20 soldiers surrendered.

This time the envoy sent by the State of Zhao was Lou Chang. With the help of Mao Ying, Cai Ze followed Lou Chang to Changping.

Why was Lou Chang sent instead of Lin Xiangru?

Because the Lou family was originally from the Zhao Yingqi lineage, in order to show Jin Jinggong that he had no intention of competing with Zhao Wu for the status of the clan leader, the Zhao Yingqi lineage was changed to the Lou family.

After the three families were divided into the Jin Dynasty, the Lou family was naturally closer to the King of Zhao than other nobles of the Zhao Kingdom, and they were considered half a clan.King Zhao has always been very close to Lou.

And Lou Chang has always been on the side of King Zhao. Even though he has no talent, he has not eaten the credit that King Zhao has put into his mouth many times, but he still won the favor of King Zhao.

Bai Qi did not see Lou Chang and his party, but kept them under separate supervision.

The soldiers outside the tent howled in pain, including Zhao soldiers and Qin soldiers.

From time to time, I can hear the Qin soldiers scolding and whipping them...

Many fish were restless in the tent, Bai Qi, what does this mean?Not willing to negotiate?

On the third day, a group of Qin troops walked into the tent: "The king has summoned us."

Many fish take a breath, king? !
How did he come to Changping?
Many fish take off their equipment, especially bolas.

The guard at the door looked at the many fish with extremely strange eyes. Perhaps he didn't expect that a little girl could hide all kinds of weapons.If she hadn't taken the initiative to hand it over, some weapons really wouldn't have been found.

Many fish walked into the big tent and bowed respectfully.

Although he didn't look up, he could detect three powerful auras inside the tent.

One of them was a strong murderous aura that made many fish's hair stand on end, and they could only desperately resist the urge to fight back to protect themselves. "Are you the daughter of many fishes, Lin Xiangru?" Fan Sui asked.

"Yes."

"Did you give the grain to Lian Po with the intention of reinforcing the Zhao army?"

Fan Sui's question was expected by many fish.

But I didn't expect that Qin would really pay attention to me.

"Yes."

Fan Sui: "Then you are sending food here to help Zhao Jun surrender?"

"No, it's for the king and the state of Qin."

Fan Sui stroked his beard: "Oh? Come and listen."

Many Fish took a deep breath, and his heart almost jumped out of his chest: "Qin and Zhao have been in conflict for three years, and the country is empty. Accepting these more than 20 surrendered soldiers will be a huge burden for Qin."

Many fish swallowed their saliva and said what they had thought about for a long time: "The irrigation of the Zhang River is enough to support hundreds of thousands of Shangdang garrison. Plus I have improved seeds, the output far exceeds ordinary crops. Let these 20 be reduced, By working as a slave in the Shangdang area and cultivating wasteland, you can not only support yourself, but also hand over a large amount of food."

Fan Sui said nonchalantly: "Can those good varieties be called potatoes? I heard from farmer Xu Xing that they are indeed good things. However, these 20 surrender soldiers are committed to Zhao. When the time comes, will the Shangdang return to Zhao or Qin?" "

Did you hear Xu Xing say that?
Many fish have bad intuition. Xu Xing and others who were foresighted by King Qin?Why?
"I didn't think well. Why not move 20 surrendered soldiers to remote areas to open up barbaric lands for Qin?"

Fan Sui said disappointedly: "Does the girl really not know, or is she pretending not to save Zhao Jun? How can there be any land in the Qin State?"

Many fish were so anxious that they were sweating.

Since the emergence of iron tools, the level of farming has developed significantly. The population of Qin has grown explosively, and the land is not enough for its own people.

To bring so many surrendered soldiers back is to let the surrendered soldiers seize the land of the Qin people. It is strange that the Qin people would agree.

Fan Sui said with a hint of threat: "Everyone in Handan City praises you for your willingness to use all your family wealth in exchange for Zhao Jun's surrender. This compliment will soon spread throughout the world. Could it be that the girl thought that with this reputation as a guarantee, we, the Qin Dynasty Can’t you help me?”

? !
Many fish's hearts skipped a beat. Because of lending food to their master, they changed their plans to enter Qin. They didn't want to take the lead, they just wanted to wait until the King of Qin forgot about these things.

Therefore, he urgently sent a message to Hu Feizi not to act rashly until the critical moment of his life.

Why would he suddenly spread such rumors?

In terms of time, he started as soon as he set off, and with great momentum.

Who is most likely to influence him?

Cai Ze!

Why did he do this?
There was something in Fan Sui's words: "Girl, you have to show your value. You have to tell us with your actions whether you are loyal to Qin or Zhao."

The sweat on their foreheads dripped into their eyes. Many fish did not dare to wipe it with their hands and could only blink to relieve the discomfort.

"Please wait for clarification."

Fan Sui: "What do you think Lord Wu An will do with these 20 surrendered soldiers?"

Many fish clenched their fists, and they wanted to make themselves the first to propose!
They don't want to suffer the infamy.

But why choose yourself instead of Lou Chang?
Obviously Lou Chang's status is more respected, which will cause a greater blow to the State of Zhao and even the King of Zhao.

"Girl?" Fan Sui urged.

　Regarding whether the reduction of pawns in the Battle of Changping was more than 40 or 20, I personally agree with the figure of 20 or so.

　　Zhao State sent a total of about 45 troops. During Lian Po's time as general, he suffered losses of about 5.

　　After several breakouts for the rest, it is more reasonable to lose more than half.
