Chapter 168: Horse Bones Arrival in Handan



Not to mention that the Qin army is now not eating a penny of food and fodder, which directly interrupted Li Mu's plan.

The plan to cut off their food supply has failed, so now we have no choice but to fight to the death, rush thousands of miles, and take Xianyang directly.

Now Chunshen Jun told him to stay and besiege the city, and Li Mu would never agree to it no matter what.

"I never said that." Chunshen Jun knew that his goal had been achieved and all that was missing was a push. "That's what you said, General.

Since the General feels that my plan is flawed, he can lead the troops to attack the city himself, and I will definitely not stop him."

Li Mu laughed bitterly. He already knew what Chunshen Jun was thinking, but he didn't expect that he would actually dare to say it out loud.

Now that the country is on the verge of extinction, they are still thinking about how to weaken the capabilities of their allies. How can such an alliance not be destroyed?

However, even so, Li Mu had no choice but to go ahead.

The current situation is that Qi has been destroyed, and the next country to be destroyed will be Yan or Zhao.

The State of Yan has not made any move yet, and the Qin army is very likely to find no excuse, and then the State of Zhao will definitely be attacked.

At that time, I'm afraid I won't even have a chance to fight.

"I know, I know!" Li Mu wailed twice, shook his sleeves, and walked out viciously.

Before Chunshen Jun even put down his teacup, he heard a roar: "Move up the army and attack the city! Day and night, we must capture Xinzheng in three days!"

Chunshen Jun sneered, ignoring the chaos in the outside world and just sipped his tea.

Doesn't Chunshen Jun know that weakening the power of his allies now would be a self-defeating act?

Of course he knew it, but why he did it, I'm afraid only Chunshen Jun knew it.

After all, the main force in the future siege of cities and capture of territories was the Chu army, not the Zhao army.

Wang He looked at the Zhao cavalry archers below who were like crazy, spat, and cursed: "Fuck you, how can you be so fierce?"

Before Meng Ao went down to prepare, he heard shouting and killing outside and hurried back.

Although more than 50,000 soldiers are not a large number, they can still fill the city wall.

Fortunately, there were not many defensive equipment in Xinzheng, and the Zhao-Chu coalition forces on the opposite side did not have many siege equipment.

Although there are more people on the opposite side, the Qin army has the advantage of terrain and still has the upper hand.

"Lord Wu'an, are you okay?" Meng Ao asked hurriedly, looking at Wang He who was covered in blood.

Wang He wiped his face and saw blood on it. He spat and said, "It's nothing. It was just a scratch from the crossbow."

"I'm glad you're alright." Meng Ao breathed a sigh of relief and then asked, "Why are they attacking the city all of a sudden? Weren't we setting up camp and cooking just now? Why are they attacking the city all of a sudden?"

"I'm afraid they're arguing." Wang He glanced at the scene below the city wall and quickly retreated. "Only the Zhao army is attacking the city, while the Chu army is still setting up camp."

"Is Zhao afraid?" Meng Ao immediately understood the reasoning. "But even if they capture Xinzheng, they can't take Xianyang directly."

"Yes, we can't take Xianyang directly, but our plan of fighting to the death has been interrupted."

Wang He sneered and continued, "After today, let's see what the situation is. If you don't care about casualties, then we'll leave tomorrow night. If you just want to show off, then we'll drag them to the death."

Meng Ao nodded and replied, "That would be best. In that case, I will go and give the order."

"Thank you for your help, Lord Chang'an."

Wang He still did not look back. He looked at the scene under the city wall from time to time and thought about strategies.

The coalition forces were not united, so how could they take Xianyang directly?

Handan, Zhao State welcomed a special person today.

A skeleton.

Logically speaking, Handan, which had been occupied by Zhao cavalry archers, should not be afraid of bones, but this bone was not human, but a horse bone.

King Youmiu of Zhao frowned as he looked at the horse bones brought in by Qu Zheng, but he did not show any more displeasure.

"The King of Yan sent you here to discuss the alliance? I originally thought that the King of Yan had no intention of coming!"

After all, there was a conflict between them, so King Youmiu of Zhao was not too polite. He first made a sarcastic remark, and then said with a hint of rebuke: "Since the King of Yan has such intentions, why did he only send this envoy alone? Don't you know that the Qin army has already entered the territory of Qi?"

Ma Gu was no longer as domineering as he was in Yan State, but instead appeared somewhat humble: "Yan State had a civil strife before, and my king just put it down a few days ago, so he doesn't know much about the situation in other countries.

If there is anything wrong, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"Civil strife?" Although King Youmiu of Zhao knew that this was possible, he always felt that the horse bones were alluding to him.

However, even if he was being implied, King Youmiao of Zhao would not say it out loud. He just looked a little gloomy and said, "Since that's the case, I will explain it to King Yan."

Ma Gu bowed his head and nodded respectfully, "Please enlighten me, Your Majesty."

"Han and Wei have already been destroyed, and the main forces of Qin have all gone to Qi. If Yan were to send troops now, wouldn't that be a joke?"

King Youmiu of Zhao sneered again: "Not to mention sending troops to help Zhao!"

Ma Gu asked, "In your opinion, who should Yan State support?"

"Go to Daliang and Xinzheng, seek out the allied forces of Zhao and Chu, and attack Qin together."

King Youmiu of Zhao actually gave some advice. After all, although it was a little late, it was still helpful. He was just complaining just now.

"However, judging by the speed at which the envoys are returning to mobilize troops, I'm afraid we'll miss a lot of crucial opportunities!"
