The Qin army had combat troops lined up to cover it, but the Zhao army did not have such awe and prestige and just pulled out the cart. There was a large basket on the car filled with various weapons. The cart crossed Danshui and waited on the shore.
Downstream of the Dan River, Sima Jin personally commanded five thousand swordsmen to form an array on both sides of the Dan River. Bai Qi still stood on the hill overlooking the entire battlefield.
After communication, the liaison officers from both sides thought that a deal could be made and ordered the drumming. As the drums sounded, Zhao Jun pushed his cart past the Qin Army. The Qin Army moved down the large basket and took out a large number of bows from the cart. One of the knights simply looked at it and nodded in agreement. Qin Jun took down the big basket from his car again, and Zhao Jun came up. He dipped some of it with his finger, tasted it, and nodded. Zhao Jun carried the big basket of fried millet onto his car, turned around, and headed towards Go to this formation. The five hundred generals who led the team stayed among the Qin army, on the one hand as hostages, and on the other hand, they coordinated with the Qin people on the matter of moving the camp after surrender.
While the Zhao army was carrying them, the people of Qin shouted loudly: "Don't eat too much, or you will kill people if you eat too much." However, most of the people in Zhao could not understand Qin's voice, or if they did, they turned a deaf ear and just went to their own formation.
All vigilance, preparations, precautions, and worries seemed to have become a joke. No accidents occurred. Zhao Jun completely followed the procedures prescribed by the Qin Army and exchanged weapons for food without any resistance or trouble. When the entire Zhao army entered Zhaobi and the camp gate was closed, the Qin army withdrew its troops and returned to the camp.
Meng Ao stood on the captured Micang Mountain, using a condescending approach to carefully observe the movements of Zhao Jun. He was also a little surprised by Zhao Jun's movements. Such a smooth process always gave people a sense of conspiracy; under normal circumstances, there would always be some people who would stir up trouble to express their dissatisfaction.
The grain trucks were pushed into the wall and entered their respective camps one by one. In each camp, someone tasted it first, and then gave it to others, who each took a handful. This was probably to prevent Qin people from poisoning their food! Meng Ao keenly discovered that there was no food truck entering the injured camp! Zhao Jun only supplies food to those who are still capable of fighting!
Meng Ao immediately came down and sent a military envoy to report Zhao Jun's movements to Bai Qi: Zhao Jun only supplied food to those with fighting ability. It was possible that Zhao Jun was waiting for physical strength to recover before launching a counterattack with the entire army.
After Bai Qi completed the exchange of weapons for food, he invited Pi Wan into the big tent.
After listening to Pi Wan's introduction, Bai Qi smiled and said: "The only one who can change the king's will is Captain Wan. Since ancient times, there has never been anyone who can reduce 400,000 soldiers."
Pi Wan said: "Since your Majesty knows this, why don't you remonstrate?"
Bai Qi said: "The Zhao prisoner is sick and hungry. If he can be rescued, it will be beneficial. Even if he cannot do it, it will not cause harm."
Pi Wan said: "However, the harm caused by the Zhao captives does not stop when they surrender, but after they surrender. There is no food to feed them, which harms them one way; there is no land to accommodate them, which harms them two things; they are a trouble to the confidants of the counties and counties, which harm them. Harmful to three people."
Bai Qi said: "The so-called people who are not from my race must have different minds. But the king doesn't listen, what can I do?"
Pi Wan said: "The king has gained the Shang Lord's reforms, Zhang Yi's alliances, and Ranghou's good warfare, and all the people in the world can be used by Qin. I don't know if the people from the princes can be used by Qin, but they are too few. Since The number of princes who entered Qin was less than 10,000, but if Zhao people entered Qin with 400,000 people, Qin would definitely become Zhao."
Bai Qi said: "With my ability, I can only defeat a hundred thousand soldiers. If I get 400,000 people, I don't know how to do it. I heard that the Zhao army has 45 people out of 10,000 people. How can they go out in an orderly manner?" How can we stop it? How can the camp be set up, the food and fodder set up, and the soldiers fed, how can it be complete? I don't know the way."
Pi Wan said: "Your Majesty is fighting against the Zhao army. They have 400,000 soldiers, but I only have 100,000 soldiers. How can we fight?"
Bai Qi said: "It's not difficult. Although they are 400,000, I only have 100,000, but every time I fight, I can't defeat ten thousand people, and the rest are just spectators. Although they are many, what is the use of fighting!"
Pi Wan said: "If he fights in a company, how can he do it?"
Bai Qi said: "Fight at dawn and stop at dusk. This is the way of heaven. Although there are many of them, how can they go without food and sleep, day and night? The Changping is very narrow. I blocked it with a pill. Even though there are many of them, they can't stop it." Come out."
Pi Wan said: "If you find your way out, you will definitely do harm."
Bai Qi said: "The fortress is just coming out. If you can't get out, what's the use of the blockade? Now that the enemy is sick, hungry and cold, and the soldiers are invincible, it's time to break out."
Pi Wan said: "If we drive them into Handan, they will not only depress their energy, lower their aspirations, and consume their food, they will truly be soldiers of Qin."
Bai Qi said: "I'm afraid it will come back, but I will still be the guard of Handan."
Pi Wan said: "Qin will attack Handan?"
Bai Qi said: "Not yet? I will attack Changping and go down to Shangdang, which leads to Handan. Shangdang is poor and abandons Handan without attacking. What can Shangdang do?"
Pi Wan said: "Handan failed to retreat. Who? Although they lost to Changping, the crowd in Handan was only two to three hundred thousand, and the rest were all party members. Handan's foundation is solid, its city is strong, and its food is sufficient. Fang At this time, we should intimidate their hearts and aspirations, make everyone fearful, and make everyone fearful. I will manage the party and have enough food to complete the army. As long as there is a change, and then the army will come, we can succeed. "
Bai Qi said: "No. In the battle of Changping, Zhao lost 400,000 soldiers. Handan will be empty, the people will be frightened, and the soldiers will have no fighting spirit. If you take advantage of their fright and attack them, they will be defeated. Why wait and wait?" What’s the future? "
Pi Wan said: "After many years of war in Changping, Hedong is empty. If we resume the war in Handan, what will we rely on?"
Bai Qi said: "When Gu Xi goes to war, he only prepares ten kilograms of fried millet, which is enough for a month, and takes it from the enemy. Handan, the leader of Zhao, must be rich in money and food. Give the enemy food, what can't you do!"
Pi Wan said: "We only feed the enemy, but if we only have a few months left, how long will it last?"
Bai Qi said: "It is the right time to send troops in October and return in February."
The two were discussing from the vast sea and sky, when suddenly an envoy from Ao's army came to report that Zhao Jun had concentrated all the roasted millet that came easily to supply the strong soldiers, and the sick and wounded were not allowed to eat it, for fear that they would be deceived. Bai Qi thought for a while and asked the military envoy to report back to Meng Ao, continue to observe and report to all armies.
Pi Wan asked: "Is Zhao Jun cheating?"
Bai Qi said: "He may be deceitful, but there is nothing he can do."
Pi Wan asked: "Is it fried millet?"
Bai Qi said: "He has been hungry for a long time and is still not full with porridge. So frying the millet twice as much and eating it is the way to death."
Pi Wan said: "Zhao people may control it..."
Bai Qi said: "People who have been hungry for a long time have a craving for food and can't stop eating. How can they control it? Besides, there is no point in frying millet. If you have a handful of people, you will eat all the food and leave nothing left."
Pi Wan said: "Has this been your plan?"
Bai Qi said: "You can't plan it, but you can watch it change." Both of them laughed.
Pi Wan said: "The Zhao people defended Changping with 450,000 people, and the emperor surrounded them with 100,000 people and annihilated them. This has never been heard of in ancient times! What can the winner do?"
Bai Qi said: "If they fight with one hundred thousand people, they may be able to defeat them. If they fight with four hundred thousand people, they will be invincible."
Pi Wan said: "How can a large number of people be invincible and a small number of people turn against the enemy?"
Bai Qi said: "There are 400,000 of them, living in a small area, and the number of those who can fight is no more than 10,000. Their strength is equivalent to that of a hundred thousand. And the food, grass and baggage are twice as heavy. Therefore, they are invincible."
Pi Wan said: "Who offered this plan to King Zhao?"
Bai Qi said: "You must be a mediocre person! With only 400,000 people, you have been living in a small place for many years. Although you have raised the whole world to support it, it is still not possible. How can it be compared to a mere Handan! It is bound to perish!"
Pi Wan said: "There are millions of households in Handan. Even though all the strong and capable people are here, if we can destroy them all, Handan will not be able to attack them with a sudden attack."
Bai Qi said: "From what I can see, they will be defeated in one blow." Neither of them could convince the other, so they had to stop talking.
As the sun rose above the head, painful wails gradually came from the Zhao camp. As time went by, the wails became more and more loud. Those soldiers who had no symptoms yet were a little overwhelmed. Looking at their companions rolling on the ground holding their stomachs, they broke out in sweat. Someone shouted: "The food is poisonous! The food is poisonous! We have all fallen into the trap!" At first, everyone did not believe it, but after a while, more and more people suffered from abdominal pain, and it was obvious that those who had eaten more People who stir-fried millet a lot have symptoms. Everyone believed that the Qin people had played a conspiracy and poisoned the fried millet. It would be fine if you only ate a few bites, but the poison would show up if you ate more! Curses arose one after another, and some people even struggled to beat the warning drum.
But it was no use. There were also wailings in the neighboring camp. The stronger the people, the more obvious the abdominal pain was - probably because they were given more fried millet.
The sound of warning drums also alerted the five hundred generals who were left as hostages in the Qin camp. They were arranged in groups of ten in different camps. At this time, they all looked at the people around them in confusion. Soon, Wang Hao sent an envoy to announce that there was a riot in each camp of the Zhao army. Five hundred men from each camp were to return immediately to quell the commotion!
The five hundred people who didn't know what was going on rushed into their camp almost frantically and found a hell-like scene. Almost all of them clutched their stomachs and fell to the ground in pain, their faces pale and sweat dripping from their foreheads. Five hundred people will ask: "Why this?"
The soldier who still agreed said: "We all fell into the Qin people's plan. Fried millet is poisonous. If you eat too much, it will be poisonous!"
The five hundred generals hurried to the superior camp and found that no matter whether they were one thousand generals, five thousand generals or ten thousand generals, those who had eaten fried millet were clutching their stomachs in pain. Only those who had eaten less could still manage. I can support it, but I can see that the feeling in my stomach is unpleasant.
Zhao Nian also ate several mouthfuls of fried millet, feeling pain in his stomach and cold sweat breaking out on his forehead. Seeing a group of 500 people about to rush in, he said painfully: "Our original intention was to surrender to Qin in a false manner, get food from Qin to satisfy our hunger, and then attack from all sides. By luck, we can return to Handan, and we can also save Zhao's power in case anything happens." . Now we have fallen into Qin's plan by mistake, and we will die without a place! It is not a pity to die, so why see the late king underground! "A group of five hundred people will stand aside, at a loss. After a long time, one person asked: "Since we fell into Qin's plan, how should we escape from it?"
A burst of pain hit him, and Zhao Nian bent over, sweating on his forehead. Ban Rian gasped and said: "You and those who are still able to walk in the concentration camp, sneak out of Beiling and go to Handan. Tell us in detail our situation and the cruelty of the violent Qin Dynasty."
The five hundred generals said: "We are willing to betray you and sneak out of Beishan."
Zhao Nian said: "No! The Qin people must plan carefully. Elite soldiers and warriors may not come out, so why bother with the old men! When you come out, you are willing to return to supervise the Zhao army. If you fight with Qin again, you will definitely avenge Changping's hatred." !"
