After unifying the minds of the generals, Zhao Kuo immediately announced: Send troops at Yinshi to capture Xinzheng.
While the soldiers suddenly agreed to the promise, the envoys from various aristocratic families in the Kingdom of Han were fighting in two groups. Zhao Kuo let them watch such a big show, and naturally it was not in vain.
Immediately, Zhao Kuo told all the envoys (except the envoys of the King of Han) that they would be released a quarter of an hour before the war began. Those who wanted to surrender to Zhao would recall their own children and stay at home obediently, but Those who persist in resisting will be killed without mercy.
The envoys who heard this immediately felt as if they had been granted amnesty.
Obviously, at this time, they no longer dared to hope for wealth and glory. Looking at the pile of rotten meat in the pool of blood on the ground, they suddenly realized that being alive was already a great blessing.
This is naturally one of the purposes of Zhao Kuo directing this drama: the siege is imminent, and Zhao Kuo needs the Korean army in Xinzheng City to be more fearful, so that his army can defeat it in one fell swoop.
Zhao Kuo knew very well that Xinzheng City may still be in the hands of the King of Han for the time being, but the middle-level generals will undoubtedly be controlled by various aristocratic families. As long as these aristocratic families are afraid, the Korean army of less than ten thousand people will be scattered.
Of course, intimidating the Korean army was just Zhao Kuo's purpose.
More importantly, Zhao Kuo must begin to build up the self-confidence and pride of Zhao Jun, or even the self-confidence and sense of belonging of the Zhao nation.
This is crucial to deal with the upcoming decisive battle against Qin.
With such a sense of belonging, they will believe that their friends will never give up on them at any time, and they will not abandon or give up in desperate situations;
Only with enough self-confidence can we have the courage to take on seemingly impossible tasks and do our best for them.
This is crucial for two armies with similar combat capabilities.
The process of fighting the Qin army will also be the foundation of the national sentiments of the Zhao State or the Chinese nation, and this may be more important than the establishment of a dynasty called "Zhao".
However, Zhao Kuo could not say these words to anyone.
Just like that "books and cars share the same track", perhaps only a thousand years later, people will realize the meaning of such a thankless thing.
But no matter what, at least Zhao Kuo's actions made the current Zhao army soldiers feel full of warmth. It turned out that the two soldiers were so important in the king's heart, even more important than the envoys of other countries holding credentials.
Of course, it was also the Korean envoy who was looking for death, and did not care what he was doing - the man who wanted peace dared to bark, and Zhao Kuo would not be sorry for his servants if he did not use him as a sacrificial flag.
Therefore, under Zhao Kuo's encouragement, all the Zhao army officers and soldiers were as if they had been given a shot of chicken blood. The ladders and the rams were quickly completed with the cooperation of the soldiers.
And the time will soon come to the agreed time.
With a wave of Zhao Kuo's hand, hundreds of envoys from noble families were released back to Xinzheng City.
Looking at the figure rushing towards Xinzheng, Zhao Wei on the side couldn't help but frowned, and then he raised his hands and asked Zhao Kuo: "My king, what if this group of people returns to Xinzheng and informs the King of Han?"
Hearing this, Zhao Kuo burst out laughing, but Zhao Kuo was still very happy that Zhao Wei could take the initiative to think about the problem, and then replied: "What secret? Tell the King of Han that our army is about to attack the city, or tell him King Han, has he ever surrendered?"
"This?" Zhao Wei was speechless for a moment.
"What's more, even if one or two families want to inform, other families will not allow it." Zhao Kuo then continued: "You forgot, when they arrived, we had already recorded their family information. From then on From that moment on, the fate of our family has been tied to our ship, the Kingdom of Zhao."
"What if one of them was given the order by King Han in advance?" Zhao Wei continued to ask.
"Not to mention that King Han himself sent an envoy, there is a high probability that there will not be more spies." Zhao Kuo continued to shake his head and said: "And even if there are, so what? When the house collapses, what will happen? Can it be held up by just one pillar?"
"Besides." Zhao Kuo pointed to the envoys from the Kingdom of Han who were fleeing in front of him, and continued: "Do you see any of these beams? We have torn down all the beams and wooden piles, even if there are one or two If the roots are stubborn, what does it matter?”
"Not to mention, except for one Yin hour, they don't know any information at all." Zhao Kuo then continued to smile and said: "So what if I told them. Where did our army launch the attack? How many people are there? How much ordnance is there? , there is nothing, what can they do? And..."
Before Zhao Kuo could continue, a voice from behind interrupted Zhao Kuo's teaching to Zhao Wei.
"My king, the army has been prepared and ready to go at any time."
It turned out that Li Mu had already completed the inspection again and came to give Zhao Kuo a reply.
"Okay." Zhao Kuo nodded, but then said to Zhao Wei: "Besides, our army is about to leave, so why should we be afraid?"
With that said, regardless of whether Zhao Wei understood his conspiracy or not, Zhao Kuo turned around again and said to Li Mu: "The whole army will set off immediately, aiming for Xinzheng."
"Yes." Li Mu agreed immediately.
Soon, the sound of whimpering horns resounded in the silent night sky, and fire dragons snaked out in the direction of Xinzheng.
The Korean envoys who were running in front became more anxious when they heard the faint movement from behind. Although the speed under their feet had reached the extreme, they still felt that it was not fast enough.
In fact, they don't need to be so anxious. First, Xinzheng has almost no defense now. Second, although Zhao Jun has been dispatched, due to various siege equipment, Zhao Jun's marching speed is far unable to keep up with them. .
It's a pity that when it comes to life and death, not everyone can stay calm enough in the face of life and death, especially this group of people are obviously not people who are used to seeing life and death.
But no matter what, in a desperate hurry, this group of people quickly approached the city of Xinzheng.
Under the wall, each family began to use their own communication methods to summon the hanging basket from above.
However, the gondola did not wait, but heard the creaking sound of the door opening - the city gate was quietly opened a gap.
Suddenly, everyone felt like they were facing a powerful enemy.
Everyone knows that the Korean army at the city gate is still in the hands of King Han! Immediately, someone wanted to escape.
At this moment, a small head with white hair and beard poked out of the small gap.
"Second uncle?" A slightly disbelieving voice sounded immediately.
"Xiyazi?" Under the bright moonlight, the white head quickly found the direction of the voice: "Quick, come in quickly."
Without any hesitation, the person who answered immediately rushed in.
Seeing one person go in, the others immediately got into it even though they were still unclear about the situation.
"Second uncle, what's going on?" The young man who went in first followed the old man and ran towards the city while looking around at the empty streets and towers.
"The king also sent people to surrender, and then returned to the palace. People's hearts were dispersed, and no one took care of him. Alas..." The little old man also briefly explained the situation.
"Hey." The young man who heard this also sighed quietly.
"Let's go quickly, brother, we have to wait impatiently." The little old man immediately urged.
"Yes." The young man nodded slightly, then stopped at a fork in the road, and continued: "Second uncle, go and call back the third brother and several children from the north gate, and the palace." The seventh brother who is stationed at the gate will be too late."
"Huh?" The old man was still a little confused.
"Second uncle, go quickly. Let me explain to my father that Zhao Jun will attack the city tonight. If it is too late, it will be too late." The young man continued quickly.
"Okay." After hearing this, the old man didn't dare to neglect, and immediately nodded and said, "I'll go right away!"
This situation not only happened to this young man, it can be said that almost all the "envoys" who entered the city were giving similar instructions to their relatives and servants who came to meet them.
Soon, noisy footsteps echoed on the originally silent street.
However, King Han, who was anxiously waiting for news in the palace, knew nothing about these things.
It has to be said that letting his eunuch order go to Zhao Jun is really a bad move. As an eunuch, it is obviously beyond his ability to fight with the scholars, and negotiating on behalf of a country is not his expertise.
Loyalty may be the only advantage of this eunuch.
And the only use of this loyalty should be to keep it by your side.
At least, if the eunuch order is still there, the informants in the palace are still there, and King Han will not know anything about the situation inside and outside the palace no matter what.
Unfortunately, when people are in despair, they often cannot tell whether what is in front of them is a life-saving straw or a real handle.
In this way, while all the families were busy shrinking their population, and while Zhao Kuo led more than 60,000 people to attack Xinzheng in a mighty manner, King Han was pacing incompetently in his palace. .
Until, the deep sound of Zhao Jun's horns and bursts of drums were heard in the palace.
With a "pop" sound, King Han woke up from his half-asleep state.
"Here comes someone." King Han sat up, took out the sword on the bedside, and ran out of the palace while shouting.
However, until King Han rushed to the door, no one responded to him.
When he pushed open the palace door, he saw several eunuchs and palace maids in front of the palace running in their respective directions with their bundles in their arms. If this is the case inside the palace, what should the scene be like outside the palace?
Without enough time to care about the eunuchs and maids, King Han immediately looked up and saw that the direction of the city gate was already covered in red.
"Didn't the eunuchs submit their credentials to King Zhao?" Huge fear immediately struck King Han: "Why are the Zhao troops still coming to fight?"
And just when King Han was stunned, the fiery red was spreading along the city gate towards the palace. The shouts of killing followed the firelight from all the streets and rushed straight to King Han's head.
"The city gate is lost?" King Han looked at the scene in front of him in stunned silence.
He never imagined that the city gate he had patrolled at night would be lost in an instant.
For a moment, King Han thought of the aristocratic families who came out with ropes. For another moment, King Han thought of the scene where the soldiers breathed a sigh of relief when he left...
But no matter what, it is an indisputable fact that the city gate is lost.
Everyone knows that there is nothing left to do.
With a "clang" sound, the sword in King Han's hand slipped to the ground unconsciously.
