In the blink of an eye, it was dawn again, and the Zhao cavalry who had left in a hurry finally returned to the camp. Returning with them, there was also the good news that all the grain crops to the east of Zhou Wangji had been destroyed.
With the return of Zhao Jun, the coalition's arson plan was finally completed.
Although there was a little surprise. Han Zhiguo became the only victim.
However, the cost of a mere ten thousand people in exchange for Qin's strategic passivity is a better deal for the coalition.
However, just like the dust of history falls on ordinary people, it is like a big mountain. The price of these ten thousand people all fell on the Korean army, which really made the country of Han, who was small and outnumbered, feel distressed.
Coupled with borrowing food and other matters, the general of Han Zhiguo could not help but have retreated in his heart.
Not only the generals of the Kingdom of Han, but also the King of Han immediately wanted to withdraw their troops and leave after receiving the battle report from the front line.
However, the troops have been invested and losses have been incurred. If we just withdraw like this, it will be even more unworthy.
It is not difficult to guess such a gambler's idea. Lord Xinling naturally knew it, and Lord Xinling knew even better. As long as there was a piece of fat like King Ji of Zhou, he would not be afraid of King Han withdrawing his troops.
It's a pity that Lord Xinling forgot that he was not playing this game alone.
Sitting opposite him was King Qin Zhaoxiang, who had ruled Qin for decades. A King of Qin who could endure his anger for decades under the wings of his mother and uncle. A King who pulled Qin out of the quagmire of the Central Plains and formulated a The king of Qin who made friends with people far away and attacked the country at home; a king of Qin who laid the foundation for Qin to be invincible to the six countries.
His political wisdom, his broad mind, and his long-term vision would probably give even Zhao Kuo three points.
Faced with the predicament on the front line, how could King Qin sit still and wait for death?
As early as a few months ago, his envoys had been sent, not only from the country of Han, but also from the feuding country of Zhao.
On the battlefield, Wang Hao also personally led an army to block South Korea's food channels. With the two-pronged approach, the King of Han was already somewhat shaken.
Coupled with the tens of thousands of Korean troops who were ambushed, King Qin knew very well that it was time for a showdown with King Han.
Immediately, a silk letter was carefully sealed, then tied to a pigeon's leg and flew thousands of miles to Handan.
That's right, it's not Xinzheng in the Han Kingdom, but Handan in the Zhao Kingdom.
In the dark night, a big hand grabbed the homing pigeon that had just flown in, and skillfully removed the silk book from the pigeon's leg.
The sealed silk book was quickly passed to another big hand.
On the secret potion picture, the special wax pills gradually dissipated. Carefully take out the silk book and apply the potion again, and the writing slowly appeared.
The content of the silk book is very simple, only ten short words.
"Han, who protects the young master, gives it to the envoy Tu Jia."
But the person holding the silk letter frowned. Obviously, this matter was not easy to handle.
However, it is normal for it to be difficult to handle, and this is also the meaning of the existence of their Black Ice Platform.
The prince of Qin in Zhao knew who he was without asking. As for why he was "Zhihan", that was not what they wanted to know.
It goes without saying that the task of using such a secret wax pill to convey information is urgent.
Without any delay, Black Ice Platform immediately started operating according to the established plan.
Late at night gave Black Ice Platform the best cover.
Soon, the group of people from Heibingtai came to a courtyard that was not very prosperous.
Gently lifting the door bolt, several men in black filed in. The person at the end did not forget to close the door again.
"Da da da." A soft knock sounded immediately in front of a door that was not secure.
"Who?!" The snoring in the room stopped instantly, and then there was a low roar. The people inside were obviously startled, and there was even the faint sound of a sword being unsheathed.
"Correct Old Qin." Qin Bing at the door did not panic and immediately whispered into the room.
"We will fight against the national calamity together!" The voices in the room became obviously excited.
But in an instant, the dilapidated wooden door was opened from the inside.
The weak candlelight pierced through the door in an instant. Looking at the man who opened the door, he was dressed in plain robes, with a sallow complexion and thin muscles. He was obviously malnourished, but even so, his eyes were terrifyingly bright, which made people feel chilling.
Not the future King Qin Zhuangxiang, Wang Sun Yiren, let alone who.
"Quick, come in and say something." The plain-robed scribe holding a candle said immediately to the visitor.
The man in black outside the door was not humble and nodded immediately, and then said to the people behind him: "Liu Da, follow me in, and the others will take charge of the small courtyard."
"Yes." Several low voices of agreement came from the darkness.
When the scribe inside the door heard this, he realized that there were so many guests in his small courtyard.
Soon, the leader and a man named Liu Da came to the room under the leadership of Qin Yiren.
The stranger's room is not big, and the facilities are even more basic. A bed, a table, a chair and a cupboard are everything. Not to mention the princes and grandsons of the Qin State, even the ordinary ministers of the Qin State would never be treated like this.
"The king and grandson have suffered." The leader immediately clasped his fists and saluted the stranger.
"It's hard work to be a hostage for the country." The stranger quickly helped the leader in front of him and said humbly.
Bitter or not, everything in this room is enough to explain everything, and Yiren doesn't need to say anything more.
Although he doesn't know the identity of the visitor, the stranger knows very well that if he wants to leave this ghost place, this visitor may be his last and only possibility! He must hold on tight.
To seize this opportunity, he must show enough value.
But a proton is almost abandoned, and it is still in the hands of the sworn enemy Zhao State. Even if he wants to obtain some information, it is impossible. What value can I have?
The only value may be a heart that "corrects Lao Qin and fights the national crisis together."
The visitor did not doubt that he was there, and immediately bowed slightly and said: "Your Highness, the last general belongs to Black Ice Platform, and this is a token."
With that said, the leader in black took out half a piece of jade from his arms and handed it to the stranger with both hands.
Looking at the familiar jade, Yiren quickly took out a brocade bag from his collar, opened it carefully, and found an almost identical jade lying quietly in it.
Immediately, the stranger held his own jade in one hand and the black leader's jade in the other, and slowly put the two pieces of jade together.
There was only a "click" sound, and Yujue quickly came together.
Looking at the two pieces of jade that fit together perfectly, Qin Yiren was so excited that he almost burst into tears. It was only then that he was convinced that his grandfather had sent someone to pick him up.
Seeing this scene, the leader felt relieved.
"The general has been ordered to ask Your Highness to follow the general and leave the city immediately." The leader bowed again.
"Okay." Qin Yiren almost blurted out, but only for a moment, Yiren frowned again and said: "General, I am the hostage of Qin. If King Zhao hadn't released him and left rashly, I'm afraid... .”
"Don't worry, Your Highness, we have already prepared for this." The leader calmly turned to the other person on the side and said, "Liu Da, take off the mask."
"Yes." A voice sounded immediately.
The stranger immediately followed the sound and saw a young man who looked very similar to himself standing in the darkness. He took off his mask and gave himself a slight salute.
"Is this?" Qin Yiren obviously couldn't understand the situation in front of him.
Of course, you can't blame him. Even though he was Longsun Fengzi, in the end Qin Yiren was just a young man, a young man who was a hostage in this foreign country, so naturally he didn't understand Hei Bingtai's methods.
The leader was not surprised. He immediately held up his hands and explained: "Tomorrow, our envoy from Qin will ask King Zhao to release His Highness on the grounds that Lord An is seriously ill. If King Zhao agrees, then nothing will happen. If he doesn't If you wish to release him, Liu Da will be here instead of His Highness."
Hearing this, Qin Yiren was obviously stunned again.
From the leader's words, it was not difficult for Qin Yiren to tell that he wanted to replace himself with the person in front of him.
However, what surprised Qin Yiren was that his mere proton was worth Qin's effort.
Apart from anything else, it is not that easy to find this person who is 70% similar to me. If he was really so important, would he still be held hostage by Zhao Guo?
Obviously not.
Then, there is only one situation left: he is of greater use to Qin.
As for myself, a mere young man with no strategy to stabilize the country, no military skills to fight in battle, the only thing left that was of some use was the heart of a Qin man and the identity of this "king grandson".
The person in front of me is willing to take risks to replace him, and his patriotism is obviously much higher than his own.
If you replace yourself with this person, it will only mean that you can only do this by yourself.
Then the answer is ready to come out - still own identity - still have to go to other countries as a pledge. I heard that the Qin army has been confronting the four-nation coalition for several months, so I must be heading to one of the three countries.
It has to be said that Qin Yiren is the father of an eternal emperor, and he has roughly guessed the development of the matter in a blink of an eye. And when I thought that it was just a change of place, the original eager mood gradually dissipated.
"Where are we going..." Qin Yiren was about to ask where he was going to be sent, but he swallowed the words as he spoke.
Without him, not to mention that as a person from Heibingtai, he has strict confidentiality rules. He will naturally say what should be said. Even if he asks himself what should not be said, he will definitely not tell it. What's more, what can you do even if you know it? Do I still have a choice?
Just like back then, why would I want to come to this strange Handan? But he’s not here yet, and he’s staying there for several years…
"When will we set off?" Thinking of this, Qin Yiren immediately changed the subject.
The leader on the opposite side was obviously a little surprised when he heard the words. His Highness's words just now clearly meant where to go, but in an instant they changed to when?
God knows what His Highness was thinking at this moment.
But the leader is sure that this His Highness is far more powerful than imagined.
Involuntarily, the leader became even more respectful to Qin Yiren.
