Chapter 715 Handan Incident

The walls of Pengcheng are wide and thick.

Fan Zeng stood on it, looking to the north, always worrying that the next moment, the flag that once made the world tremble would appear in front of him.

After the news came from Xuedi, Fan Zeng began to set up defenses.

By this time, all emergency deployments have been completed. But Fan Zeng's worries did not diminish at all.

Pengcheng is an important land and water town in the Central Plains, extending in all directions.

Convenient transportation conditions also mean that there is no danger to defend around. No matter how solid the city defense is, it will be useless under the attack of the opponent's large army.

The alliance between the princes failed, and rumors spread in the Central Plains.

The only thing Fan Zeng can be sure of is that the Huben Army is the enemy facing the Chu Army at this time.

More than ten thousand cavalry!

This power is now beyond the reach of any prince in Guandong. Especially in the Central Plains, the cavalry roamed freely and unhindered.

"Is the king feeling better?"

The servants in the palace came into Fan Zeng's sight. The safety of King Chu was the only thing Fan Zeng was willing to look away from at this time.

"I'm fine, I'm fine!"

Fan Zeng turned around and saw Mi Xin standing not far away. She was riding a fast horse, bumping day and night, and her body was now quite weak.

Fan Zeng originally thought that Mi Xin was wandering around and was in poor health and needed to recuperate at this time. But now when she saw Mi Xin standing in the wind, it seemed like there was an unquenchable flame burning inside her body.

"Your Majesty, it's cold on the city wall. If you have anything to do, go to the palace to discuss it!"

"I'm fine, I'm fine!"

Mi Xin put on her cloak, looked at the military defense fortress outside Pengcheng, and asked a question.

"If Zhao Shuang comes, can we stop him?"

Fan Zeng hesitated for a long time before saying something.

"At this time, there are fifty thousand defenders in Pengcheng. The food and grass in the city are enough to last ten months."

"This can't go on like this!"

Mi Xin is young, but her eyes look like those of an old man who has experienced vicissitudes of life.

"What does the king mean?"

"When Tian Dan dies, all the Tian clans in Qi will surely compete to win the throne. In the best case, a strong man can subdue everyone, ascend to the throne, and stabilize Qi. In the worst case, there is no doubt that all the Tian family members will be able to win the throne. There is no competition for the fields, and Qi is in civil strife, each working on its own. In a short time, Qi may not be able to count on the other side."

Mi Xin took a deep breath, a breath of cold wind came in, and she couldn't help coughing.

"Kings!"

Fan Zeng wanted to step forward to take a look, but was stopped by Mi Xin.

"I'm fine, I'm fine."

"Your Majesty, it's better to go back to the palace first! You are weak and it's too cold here."

"It's better to be colder. I can be more sober."

Mi Xin smiled leisurely, but this bright smile seemed a bit sad at this moment.

"Zhao Shuang slaughtered two kings and killed hundreds of generals from the Wei, Chu and Qi kingdoms, and the world was shocked. The current plan is that instead of passively defending and being defeated by Zhao Shuang one by one, it is better to unite as one and attack with all strength to have a chance of survival."

"I understand!" Fan Zeng bowed his hands and said, "I will summon all the princes in the name of the king."

Mi Xin looked at the cold wind in the distance and clenched her hands tightly, as if they were about to bleed.

"Zhao Shuang!"

…

Kunyang.

The courtyard is green, and Tian Yan is sitting on the porch, drinking tea. In front of them, the Zhu family couldn't help but move around, and the facial makeup on their faces changed, sometimes red, sometimes blue.

"Xia Kui, the current situation has made people panic. I heard that many people are preparing to vote for Zhao Shuang."

Zhang Chu was defeated and the princes gathered to form an alliance.

Everyone thought that after the alliance, the situation in the Kanto region would become stable. Unexpectedly, during this alliance, the hundreds of thousands of troops from the Three Kingdoms, as well as the top officials of the Three Kingdoms, were all captured by Zhao Shuang.

Nowadays, in the land of Guandong, there are many small princes occupying one city and one county. Most of them started against Qin and would not surrender to Qin unless absolutely necessary.

But under the power of the empire, they have to think more about their own wealth and life.

Tian Yan put down the tea cup in his hand.

"It's a crisis, but it's also an opportunity."

"What does Xiakui mean?"

"Zhao Shuang showed weakness, so he only mobilized more than 10,000 cavalry in Xingyang to let the princes relax their vigilance. A surprise attack by a strange army is inherently miraculous. But now it is too late to mobilize a large army. This also gives us time. As long as There are still heroes in Shandong, so you should understand the truth."

As Tian Yan said, footsteps sounded not far away and gradually approached.

Mei Sanniang came in with a letter from Chu State and handed it to Tian Yan.

Tian Yan handed it over to the Zhu family without looking at it.

"Now both Wei and Chu have fallen into a desperate situation. In a battle between trapped beasts, the only way to survive is to strike with a decisive blow."

The Zhu family opened the letter and were a little surprised.

"Xia Kui, this is the agreement signed by King Chu to summon Xiakui to Pengcheng!"

A smile appeared on Tian Yan's face.

"Our chance has come!"

…

Handan.

The palace was in a mess.

The military officials of King Zhao were shocked when they saw the soldiers and horses pouring into the palace. When they saw their leader clearly, he was furious.

"Li Liang, I treat you well, why do you want to rebel?"

Li Liang looked at Wu Chen with disdain on his face and raised his hands.

"According to the order of the Prime Minister, we will kill the traitorous military officials."

"You actually voted for Qin!"

Wu Chen waved his hand with an incredulous expression. At this time Wu Chen calmed down and suddenly remembered.

"Impossible. There are thirty thousand guards in the palace. How can you get rid of them without making a sound?"

The military minister simply did not believe that all the generals of the Forbidden Army would surrender to the enemy, nor did he believe that Li Liang could kill them all without alerting him.

Suddenly, a cold voice sounded in Wu Chen's ears.

"Handan has already been infiltrated by quicksand, so what's impossible?"

Wei Zhuang held the shark tooth and walked in from outside the palace step by step.

"Weizhuang?"

Wei Zhuang ignored Wu Chen. In his heart, there was someone who needed more attention at this time.

"Where are Zhang Er and Chen Yu?"

"I sent people to search, but they were not in the house. I interrogated the guests in their house. It is said that when the battle report from Xuedi came, the two of them secretly left Handan."

"You're really alert!"

Wei Zhuang murmured slightly and waved his hand.

"Solve things here as soon as possible."

After saying that, Wei Zhuang lost interest in this place and turned around.

…

"Prime Minister, Handan has arrived!"

"knew!"

Across the river, the news from the north quickly reached Zhao Shuang.

Guarded by thousands of horses, Zhao Shuang looked at the information in the carriage and put it aside casually.

Mi Lian was sitting opposite Zhao Shuang at this time, with her head lowered, face red, and silent.

Of course, Zhao Shuang never said a word.

Xiaomeng sat next to Zhao Shuang, exuding a cold aura, isolating the two of them.

The scene was very embarrassing.

"Your Majesty, I'm going to check on lunch first."

The motorcade stopped, Mi Lian bowed and walked out of the carriage.

"It's time to leave!"

Xiaomeng looked at Mi Lian's back and muttered dissatisfiedly. Then, she looked at Zhao Shuang, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

"Okay, Zhao Dabao, I can find this wild flower that has been lost for more than ten years."

"Theoretically, she is the domestic flower, and you are the wild flower."

"Okay, then I'll show it to you."

"This is the car...Does this go against your sect's teachings...don't take off my pants..."
