Chapter 275
Zhao Wangyan did not predict that the 370,000 Zhao and Wei coalition forces could not stop the Qin army, and the city walls of Handan could not stop them either.
When the Hundred War Gods crossbows were spread out in a word under Handan City, the fear of the remaining soldiers of Zhao who escaped from the battlefield of the decisive battle between Qin, Zhao and Wei was passed on to the soldiers and civilians around them.
Pang Nuan fled back to Handan with the last trace of life just to tell the military and civilians of Handan about the Hundred War Gods of Ji Bird so that the military and civilians of Handan could prepare in advance.
But he forgot that his actions could also bring fear. The courage of the military and civilians in Handan allowed them to be able to use this fear under their armpits at the beginning, but once the suppressed fear erupted again, nothing could stop and overcome that fear.
Just as twenty years ago, the Qin army once again approached the city of Handan, and the military and civilians of Zhao State still did not surrender. Whether men, women, young and old, spontaneous or mobilized, they walked up to the city wall one after another. Outside the city wall was the Qin army, and inside the city wall was their home.
However, the courage and bloodiness of the military and civilians in Handan were completely wiped out after only three days of bombardment by the Hundred War Gods of Mechanical Crossbow.
In war, courage is important, but hope is also essential. If everyone in Zhao was really able to be brave and fearless, they would not have turned to Changping back then. They were just much stronger than the people of other countries, but they were not really able to live or die for fifty years.
When they found that even if they tried their best to see Zhao State under the attack of the Qin army, they completely collapsed.
The speed of Zhao's collapse was beyond Zhao Wang Yan's expectations. Although he had predicted that Handan would not be able to hold on for too long, the speed of Handan fell far exceeding his expectations, and even made him unable to die. He could not pass down his throne.
He can't escape the label of the last king of Zhao State.
"Prime Minister, Handan City is broken." The steward of the Prime Minister's Mansion ran back to the Prime Minister's Mansion with a pale face and said to Guo Kai calmly without fear of danger.
After this, they became people without a country. For those who have lived under the rule of Zhao for two hundred years, it is undoubtedly a change in heaven. The power generated by habits collapsed at this moment, and they ushered in fear of the unknown future.
"Is it broken? It's a little quick." Guo Kai calmly cut the mutton on the plate and said slowly.
"Prime Minister, Zhao State is gone." The housekeeper saw Guo Kai so calm, thinking that he had not heard clearly what he said.
"I know that Zhao State is gone. After escaping from the battlefield, I knew that Zhao State is no longer possible." Guo Kai calmly put the cut mutton into his mouth and chewed it.
"From seeing the powerful weapon that is not human-powered, I knew that Zhao State had no hope. The King of Qin was able to attack Zhao State with all his strength two years ago, but delayed the plan for two years. At that time, everyone was speculating on the reason behind the King of Qin's move. Now, the answer to this question has been found. The King of Qin has been waiting for this weapon, which can determine a decisive battle." Guo Kai said with gratitude with relief.
Fortunately, although I was not so willing at the beginning, I was just half-forced and half-tempted to do things, but today I think about it, but it was a lucky thing.
He was not panicked, he had someone in Qin State.
As for power, what is it? What he pursues is not power, but the wealth that power can bring to him. Now, he has a lot of wealth. As long as he can spend all that wealth before he dies, his life will be perfect.
"Prime Minister, what should we do next? There are Qin troops everywhere outside." The butler said.
"What should I do? Change the plaque on the mansion first. From then on, there will be only Guo's Mansion in Handan, but no Prime Minister's Mansion." Guo Kai said.
"Yes." The director was not in a hurry, and he had no choice but to do anything about what the butler could say at this time.
Looking at Guo Kai who was calm, the butler couldn't help but have a thought in his mind: This is probably why he can be the prime minister and he can only be the butler.
Outside Handan City, the Qin army camp.
"General Wang, now Handan City has been broken, why don't you enter the city with the General?" Wei Yong, who has been captured since the decisive battle of the Three Kingdoms, looked at Wang Jian, who was left in the Qin army camp, and said in confusion.
The task of siegeing cities and destroying countries has been completed, and the next moment is to enjoy the glory of the victor. What kind of glory can make people more proud than stepping into the territory that once belonged to the enemy and walking over with the attitude of a conqueror?
But at this last moment, Wang Jian chose to stay in the Qin army camp and gave all the glory to Huan Yi, which made Wei Yong feel deeply curious about Wang Jian.
The generals of Qin were very powerful in fighting, and of course their wisdom was not bad. Wei Yong knew very well.
But what made Wei Yong curious about Wang Jian was because Wang Jian was so good at being a human being.
Wei Yong had a lot of understanding of the generals of Qin. He was the most basic standard for fighting, but Wei Yong had never seen a general who could be as good as Wang Jian.
"Handan City is the dream place of the General. At this time, what the General needs is not a sharer." Wang Jian replied.
He dared not underestimate Wei Yong at all. Although this former general of Wei State had been defeated and captured, Wang Jian would not really treat him as a prisoner.
Let’s not talk about the rest for now. Wang Jian could not be neglected to Wei Yong just because of his relationship with Ying Zheng. He is the father of Mrs. Wei, the grandfather of the second son of the Qin King, who was just born. Who can confirm such an identity? What kind of status will he have in the Qin State in the future?
What's more, Wang Jian vaguely felt that there seemed to be another connection between Wei Yong and the king. Such connection made Wang Jian dare not think deeply, but what was exposed was that Wang Jian told himself that he should not underestimate the other party just because the other party was just a defeated general.
Wei Yong is a very terrible person.
"So, General Wang, where is your glory? Is it the Kingdom of Wei?" Wei Yong said casually, as if he was just chatting with Wang Jian.
"That depends on the king's meaning." Wang Jian said. He could not understand Wei Yong's positioning for a while, so Wang Jian was unwilling to say anything more at this time.
"Now the Wei Kingdom has become an empty shell. It is only a matter of one sentence that the King of Qin wants to take over the Wei Kingdom. The rivers and Hangou outside Daliang City can no longer stop the King of Qin's army.
"That's the king's consideration. For generals, they only follow military orders." I don't know that Wang Jian in front of Wei Yong would not say too much to Wei Yong.
Seeing this, Wei Yong also wisely chose to end the existing topic.
