As the La Festival approaches, the north wind whirls, blowing tighter and tighter. The heavy snow like goose feathers passes, and the snow on the road is so deep that it is not knee-deep. However, in this weather, there are still endless vehicles and pedestrians inside and outside Xianyang City. The Qin Dynasty takes October as the beginning of the year, and the La Festival is ultimately a La Festival. The people worked hard for a year and always hope to buy some New Year goods at the La Festival to have a good New Year.

Shaofu Qing Langsheng also braved the cold wind. He had to visit Xianyang Market once a month to understand the purchase and sale of goods. Previous inspections usually ended in the morning, but now after noon, he was still sitting in the goods store waiting for the market order to investigate.

"Report to you, the accounts are correct." When the inspector said this, the officials of the goods store sighed heavily.

According to Qin rules, "one qian of tattooing Chengdan" means that if one qian is embezzled, you must tattooing Chengdan. Therefore, the goods "will always be included in the money" and the officials are not allowed to touch money. In order to achieve this goal, all goods with more than one qian are clearly marked and never bargain. The price is sold as much as the price is, and the copper coins cannot be checked. As long as it is money, it is money regardless of whether there is wear or not.

"Since that's the case, why is the price of fish so expensive?" The word is one foot high, and the demon is one foot high. Qin's laws are strict, and there are still officials from the head of Xinqian who are greedy for money. Lang Sheng had seen a case before: a certain company sets the price of goods at high prices, and then tries to use bamboo clips to clip them out after the money is put into the money. Unfortunately, the official did not learn arithmetic well, or remembered the sales quantity wrongly, and left more than ten more money in the money. As a result, the matter was leaked. Today, Lang Sheng passed by the fish shop and saw that the price of fish was significantly higher than last month, so he asked the market order to check the goods accounts.

"The Supreme Court doesn't know what..." The official immediately bowed and bowed his head. "The price of fish in Qi has risen sharply last month, so the price is high."

"There has not been war in Qi, why did the price of fish rise sharply?" Shanhai, Chize and Ze are all under the jurisdiction of Shaofu, and fish are naturally sold in goods stores under Shaofu. Qi's fish goods are sold all over the world, and Qin will import a large number of them before the La Festival every year.

"The villain doesn't know either." The officials are actually just sitting on the side, and even sitting on the side is not as good as the one. The goods are sent from the top and the price is determined by the top. The members of the supply and marketing cooperative in later generations would sit aside and watch every day, and at most they would move the goods.

"Supreme, this must be the destruction of the Kanto countries." Shi Ling smiled flatteringly, and his words were extremely politically correct.

"Report to you, the price of fish has indeed risen." A servant who had just asked about the price of fish came over quickly.

"Do you know why the price has increased?" Lang Sheng no longer paid attention to the officials who were bowing to the ground, nor did he look at the flattering market order. He always felt something was wrong. Is it true that the Kanto countries were determined to destroy Qin?

"This matter may be asked to ask people about Qi merchants." Cultivation is a science, and the shepherds do not know why the price of fish in Qi has risen sharply.

"Go back to the mansion." It started to snow heavily in the sky. Since the problem was not solved, Lang Sheng had to return to the mansion.

Unlike the Qin Dynasty and Yan Dynasty that migrated to Weinan, the Shaofu was still working in the Xianyang Wangcheng in Weibei. On the way back to the mansion, Lang Sheng suddenly saw the carriage of the right prime minister Changpingjun hurried out of the city. It was already afternoon, and the Zhengchao Dynasty had already ended. Could it be that the king had something important to summon the prime minister to Qutai Palace?

When he thought of the big news, Lang Sheng naturally thought of the current war. He had been attacking Zhao for three years, but in addition to the Qin army on the southern front, the Qin army in the middle was defeated again and again, and the general Meng Wu even died in battle. Meng Wu was the descendant of Meng Ao, and his death was different from Xin Wu's death in battle back then. Meng Wu died in battle, and the news came to Xianyang for a while.

After confirming that Meng Wu was really dead in battle, the court immediately started a debate. The rear party led by Mao Jiao suggested attacking Han, but only the Kuomintang Wei Liao repeatedly insisted on attacking Zhao. He was defeated again and again. I really don’t know if he would attack Zhao next year. Lang Sheng looked at Changpingjun’s carriage and horses away, and turned around and saw a government official running towards him. He became strange, not knowing what happened to the young mansion.

"I have seen the king." Changpingjun's carriage and horse hurried out of the southern gate of Xianyang, crossed the Wei River and rushed to Qutai Palace. Zhao Zheng urgently summoned the three festivals, and there must be something big.

"Sit." Unlike the Zhengchao, where everyone is standing, Yanchao is sitting and discussing matters, and sometimes even singing and dancing feasts. However, with Zhao Zheng's face today, singing and dancing feasts are impossible. His face is as cold as a piece of ice.

"The new report of the State Wei Mansion, Jing, Wei and Qi, jointly attacked me," Zhao Zheng looked around the ministers under the throne and then told the news he had just obtained. "What do you think I should do?"

"I am willing to join Qi to speak of King Qi." Dunruo heard that He Zong was going to lobby and destroy it. It was the same as whether Chu went to the state of Chu. The Chu people in Wei did not have much effect in lobbying the prime minister, so he chose to go to Qi.

"Qi State has married Jing State." Zhao Zheng's face did not change and he said the second news. "The girl of Qi married into Jing State and became the queen."

"If the king no longer attacks Zhao, I am willing to enter Qi and lobby for Qi Prime Minister." Mao Jiao spoke. He was from Qi, and he was the safest to go on a mission to Qi. He was also an expedition to Qi. He was also an ex-Party party, and Empress Dowager Zhao Ji was from Zhao, so he did not want to destroy Zhao.

"I also ask the king not to attack Zhao again." Changping Jun Xiong Qi also spoke. He kept in mind the mission of destroying the strategic rhythm of Qin. "The army attacked Zhao for three years and was exhausted. If the four countries attacked Zhao again, the Qin Dynasty would be in danger. It would be better to have a far-reaching relationship and attack Han in close proximity. This would be the inch of the king, and the ruler of the king would be the ruler of the king."

"From the Prime Minister's perspective, what is a distant friendship, and why is a close attack?" Wei Liao chuckled. He couldn't understand why Changping Jun was completely consistent with the Hou Dang's meaning?

"The State of Zhao is east of Taihang, Jingxing has been unable to defeat it for a long time, and the Qin army on the south side has Jingwei on its side. Once Jingwei sends troops, the big wing warships will swim on the river, and our army will be in danger." Xiong Qi likes to argue with Wei Liao the most, and he can get something every time he debates.

Sure enough, after he said this, Wei Liao said, "Why are you afraid of the Big Winged Warship? I'm just keeping the waterways connected for the time being."

"However, in the third year of attacking Zhao, the four countries have joined forces to attack me. How dare you ask the National Guard how to deal with it?" Xiong Qi was secretly happy and asked again immediately.

His question stopped Wei Liao. In the third year of Qin's attack on Zhao, the soldiers were indeed exhausted. Now the Three Kingdoms Columns sent troops and rushed forward with great momentum. It would be fine to repel the Three Kingdoms coalition forces in one battle, but if the war was in a stalemate, things would be difficult to deal with.

When Wei Liao was speechless, Li Si said, "I think the three countries should send troops to thaw the river after the river is thawed, and if people can tell it..."

"Don't you know?" The ministers are still unclear about the situation until now, and Zhao Zheng's voice is even louder. "The Three Kingdoms have joined forces to attack us. 150,000 Qi troops have passed Yangguan (now the east bank of Nanwenshui, Tai'an County, Shandong Province) have entered Daliang of Wei through Lu. The Three Kingdoms sent people to tell me: If the troops do not retreat before the La sacrifice, the Three Kingdoms will definitely send troops to rescue Zhao."

Staring at the ministers in front of him, Zhao Zheng suppressed his anger and said the ultimatum of the Three Kingdoms. The Qin army was newly defeated, and the Three Kingdoms came to the door. The most difficult thing was that after the Dahe was frozen, the 200,000 Qin troops stationed in Gongyi and Chaoge had already gone north to Jinyang, and there were only 150,000 troops left by Baixing.

More than 200,000 Qin troops under Li Xin were confronting the Zhao army, and they also had to take into account the capitals of Zhao State. When the partial troops were drawn to reinforce the Gongyi, they had to give up the cities that they had finally taken down. If Li Xin's troops retreated, the Zhao army under Lian Po would follow one after another.

Of course, you can also take a risk and order the 200,000 Qin troops from Jinyang to go south at a rapid speed, Li Xin's troops retreated west quickly, and then gathered 600,000 Qin troops in Gongyi to fight with more than 600,000 troops from the four countries to fight to the decisive battle. However, such a hasty decisive battle had no chance of winning at all. The news of the three countries sending troops suddenly reached Xianyang today. The confidentiality work was so strict that the Three Kingdoms must have been prepared in advance.

Another very fatal thing is the distance: Daliang is only two hundred miles away from Gongyi, while Jinyang is more than 700 miles from Gongyi, Handan Front is 150 miles from Gongyi, and Xintian is more than 600 miles from Gongyi. Whether it is increasing troops or transporting grain, the Qin army is at a complete disadvantage. Finally, there is morale, whether it is the Zhao army or the Three Kingdoms Joint Army, the morale is extremely high.

"Tell the king that if you don't retreat, all Li Xin's army will be destroyed." The situation is so critical that the ministers are shocked. The Three Kingdoms are not sharpening their swords, but are already raising their swords to kill them.

"King, I think we should withdraw our troops quickly." Xiong Qi wanted to suggest Zhao Zheng to stick to it, but he felt that this attitude changed too much.

"King, our army is exhausted after three years of fierce battle, and we cannot fight with him." Li Si also said anxiously. He remembered Han Fei, who stayed in Xianyang and almost became a Qin minister, and said: "The Prime Minister said very well. Our army should attack from a distance and attack near him first. Once Han was destroyed, he could erode Wei State and attack Zhao Buchi at that time."

"King, the people of Qi are afraid of fighting. This time, they must be forced to send troops to marry Jingguo. If our army retreats, the Qi army will retreat." Mao Jiao was already overjoyed. He hoped that the Qin army would attack Wei and Han, but not Zhao and Qi.

"All the ministers think they should withdraw their troops?" All the ministers were all thinking about withdrawing troops, and Zhao Zheng had no expression on his face.

"That's right." The ministers answered in unison.

"Get back." After a long silence, Zhao Zheng sniffed these three words from his mouth with difficulty and watched the ministers retreat.

"Don't worry, the king." Wei Liao stayed and did not leave. He comforted him: "Insighting Zhao, the people of Zhao will work together, and I cannot interfere. Now that I retreat to attack Han, Zhao will inevitably have civil strife."

"If you retreat, more than 300,000 soldiers will die without getting any inch of land. How can I not worry?" Zhao Zheng glared at Wei Liao and waved him back.

*

At dusk after the snow, the sky was clear. A cavalry of Zhao State wearing giant armored armored and wielded the flag on his back and rushed to the towering south gate of Handan City. The military situation was urgent. Sima, the city gate of the south gate, jumped up and shouted to the soldiers on both sides of the city gate: "Emergency military information, clear the road quickly! Emergency military information, clear the road quickly!"

After three years of fierce battle, emergency military information has become commonplace. However, the soldiers at the city gate still dared not neglect and stopped the pedestrians, cars and horses on both sides of the main gate to prevent the common people from panicing and rushing into the main gate avenue. The La Festival was about to come, and there were many common people entering and leaving Handan. The soldiers took great effort to stop these people. Unexpectedly, the soldiers saw that there were many people on both sides of the city gate, and suddenly stopped the horse. The horse Yuyu was running and neighed, and immediately stood up.

"Qin..." Ling Bing's riding skill was superb, but his voice was seriously lost. The crowd looked at him in confusion, wondering why he was acting like this.

"Qin Army..." Ling Bing raised his voice several times before trying to say, "Qin Army...retreat."

"The Qin army...retreated." No one could react, but every gaze was staring at him.
