When the first spring swallow flew into Handan, the breath of spring could not stop filling the tense city. Looking at the green outside the city, anyone with a little common sense knew that the man who killed more than 400,000 Zhao troops in Changping was back, and the shadow of war inevitably enveloped the place again.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

The long sound of ox horns pierced the calm of the wilderness. A few guinea pigs that had just emerged curiously turned their eyes to the distance, but saw the flags covered in the sky and stirring with the wind, as if they were monsters with their teeth and claws. Only by swallowing flesh and blood can they temporarily soothe their irritable emotions.

First, a white-character flag fluttered in the wind, and there were military flags of various units around it. Later, the Qin army did not appear, and even the Yuezhi cavalry was missing. However, this was not important. The Qin team had increased to 400,000 people after a winter of adjustment. Although it was very difficult to attack Handan, it was not impossible. However, Bai Qi did not intend to attack, so he had a better solution.

"I will order the order, except for the necessary defense army, the rest of the people will set up camps around Handan, build earthen walls, and tell them to make it stronger, we will live here in the past few years."

"ah"

The deputy general was shocked and thought to himself what was wrong with his chief general. The army had just arrived and his morale was strong. It was logical that he should have attacked a few games. It was the first time that he would use the tactic of directly siegeing the village without fighting in a single game.

Seeing the deputy general looking confused and afraid to ask in detail, Bai Qi, who was in a good mood, explained a few words: "Haha, Li Mu, who couldn't understand the opposite side, must understand, and he saw it thoroughly. He knew that I would definitely prepare a big meal waiting for me. As long as I dare to attack the city, I would definitely suffer a loss. Since that's the case, why do I still do that thankless thing? Anyway, I can't catch it for a while, so I'll just be sleepy. Actually, I really hope he will go out of the city to fight."

"General, you mean they won't come out"

"Of course, look at the city wall in front of you. If you were you, would you give up such a good defensive fortress and come out to fight the enemy in the field? Go and arrange it quickly and let the soldiers prepare for a protracted battle."

On the high city of Handan City, Li Mu was also looking at the Qin army's tent. Unlike before, the Qin army that came this time had no intention of attacking, and even had no intention of tempting it. As soon as they arrived, they began to dig soil and build walls, set up camps in large numbers, and put on a long-term siege.

"Bai Qi is worthy of being a famous general of Qin. He grabbed my weakness as soon as he came."

Li Mu sighed. Although there was no expression on his face, everyone could still hear deep helplessness from his tone. This surprised the deputy general who had followed Li Mu for many years, because in the past, big and small battles, there were more difficult and dangerous scenes than this, but I never heard the general sigh so much.

"The last general is not talented, and he is willing to lead the army out of the battle, break the Qin army's earth wall and destroy the Qin people's aura."

Deputy General Mieyoko said loudly, and the copper pieces on his body were clattering loudly.

"Haha" Li Mu shook his head and used his hands to press down, indicating that Mi Heng should not be impatient.

"Did you see the fence that blocked our view first? Let's boldly assume that if there were ambush inside, what would happen if we were rashly leaving the city?"

The generals leaned against the city, stretched their necks and looked down. At first glance, there was nothing surprising about the curtains on the winter and west sides, but when they looked closely, everyone felt a chill suddenly appear in their hearts, because they found that no matter where they attacked, the ambush behind the curtains could attack quickly, and form a situation of more and less in the local area.

"this"

The generals looked at each other. If they were so angry just now, they would probably not have much hope of returning alive. You know, there is a army of 400,000 outside, with an average of 100,000 people on the same side. The door hole is only so big, and the number of people rushing out is limited. Once the other party reacts, there will be a lot of people coming up, and it will be really impossible to leave.

"General, then what should I do now?"

Li Mu's deputy generals and more than a dozen of them were all a little stunned now. He had already held up his strength and prepared to have a good battle with the Qin army, but the result was that the Qin army did not want to attack and the Zhao army could not attack. The two sides had nothing else to do except strengthen their own defense.

Stalemate, or stalemate. Since Bai Qi surrounded Handan City, his daily task was to train troops in the empty field under the city. At the back of the camp, a steady stream of food and grass was sent into the camp by trucks, and finally piled up into small hills. On the top of the mountain, a big banner with the word "grain" was inserted there nakedly, as if a stunning naked woman was showing off her charm to the Zhao army in the city. Not to mention, the Zhao army in the city really had the urge to come out to light a fire, but as soon as this sign was revealed, it was strangled by Li Mu.

"Your lives are much more expensive than those grains. Besides, what can you do if you burn grain? Qin spent one winter to transform Shangdang County into a food and grass center, and transported grain from there, it will only take two more days. Unless we can attack Shangdang, the Qin people can still make up for the grains quickly after burning them. And with such obvious loopholes, Bai Qi really thinks I am a fool?"

Two months later, news came from the border between Zhao and Qi that the Zhao army was defeated by Qi army and had been broken through the defense line. The Qi army advanced straight in, sweeping over more than ten cities, and now gathered superior forces to march towards Handan. At the same time, the Later Qin army finally sent a unit, but no famous generals of Later Qin did not appear. This time, the young general Anping Sheng was commanded.

The chaos sweeping across the Central Plains once again formed a storm, and it became more and more intense. Handan, which was in the eye of the wind, fell into a short period of peace. It won’t take long to stop this peace. The countries in the Central Plains will fight fiercely around Handan, the trigger point.

However, all this was a bit far from Xianyang, the capital of Qin. The people of Xianyang were not plagued by war. They still had farming where they should farm. The business that should be done was like the water in a lake, and they were calm. In the heavily guarded royal city, Ying Kuo, the deputy commander of the imperial guard, had his duty. He wanted to invite a few robes to go out for a few drinks together, but before he could go far, he saw a young eunuch in a serious uniform coming over hurriedly.

"Win General, please stay"

Ying Kuo first looked around and saw that there was no one else, so he stopped strangely and asked in confusion: "This father-in-law is calling me."

"Yeah." The little eunuch smiled and wiped his sweat, and handed a piece of Juanpa to Yingkuo.

"General Ying, this is given to you by my master. Please keep it properly and say goodbye." To be continued.
