The advancement speed of the Shuzhou rebels can be said to be one day at a time, approaching the capital of Zhao State.
This speed of advancement made even King De Xian turn his attention.
"Has this daughter of the Long family taken gunpowder? Is she so fierce?"
King Xian couldn't help but murmured when he saw the information coming back from Shuzhou.
Even Long Wu, who was sitting next to King Xian, was surprised and said, "Although Bing'er has been familiar with the terrain of Zhao since she was a child, this speed of advancement is really beyond my expectation."
The two people had only one sentence to comment on Long Bing'er: This girl is really a ruthless person!
Xu Qing looked at the thick stack of good news in front of him and was a little dumbfounded: It turns out that Lady Bing'er is so cruel.
Now it seems that Long Bing'er is about to attack the capital. As long as the capital is surrounded, it is equivalent to surrounding the center of Zhao's power. Even if there are abundant grain and grass reserves in the capital, as long as there are no reinforcements, it will be difficult for Long Bing'er to capture it.
But it's just a matter of time.
Anyway, Chu State and Zhou State will never interfere in Zhao State's affairs. Now they each have their own development direction.
After Emperor Zhao heard the news that the Shuzhou army was approaching the city, he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of old blood, and his body instantly succumbed.
Didn't she just hit Gyeonggi Province a few days ago?
The fight was so quick that only the capital was left?
I haven't even arranged my specific escape plan yet, and you're calling me?
Yes, it's not that Emperor Zhao doesn't want to run, he will still run if he can, but he will never go overseas by boat.
Emperor Zhao felt that he could take a few masters and the remaining dead soldiers in the palace, sneak out secretly, and then find a mountain top to become a mountain king or something.
Although he was too out of place compared to the emperor, he was still within the Central Plains anyway. As long as he could survive in the Central Plains, he would never wander to a foreign land.
It's a pity that Emperor Zhao hasn't chosen the hilltop yet, and the capital on the other side is already surrounded by Long Bing'er.
Now there are still 200,000 troops in Shuzhou, which can be said to be evenly matched with Zhao's defenders.
Unfortunately, Zhao State has no reinforcements, but reinforcements and supplies of food and grass from Shuzhou are constantly arriving.
Li Hu stood on the city tower, looked at the troops below the city, and said, "As the saying goes, the first step is to attack the enemy, then the second is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the army, and then the third is to attack the city. Only when the opponent's force is several times larger will the siege tactics be adopted.
Now you and I are only equally powerful in terms of military strength, so attacking the city like this is a bad idea. How about we make a treaty, and the west of the capital will be the country of your army, and the east of the capital will be our country of Zhao, and our country of Zhao will pay tribute to your army every year."
This was also the condition given by Emperor Zhao, and it was said by Li Hu.
Unless he had no choice but to do so, Li Hu would really not want to state such a condition in person.
He is a military general. Since ancient times, warriors have been admonished to fight to the death. Military generals do not need to negotiate terms with the opponent, they only need to fight.
But now the other side no longer wanted to negotiate peace, and the civil servants could not be sent there at all, so he, the general, had no choice but to howl on the tower.
Long Bing'er sneered and said: "The State of Zhao wantonly killed loyal ministers and generals, appointed traitors, destroyed my family, and sent people to assassinate my husband. I will definitely capture the State of Zhao in this battle to avenge my family!"
When Li Hu heard this, he frowned again. He knew about General Long, but when did Zhao Guo assassinate his husband again?
If the relationship is not dealt with in the first place, why are you still making small moves?
Last time you ruined someone’s natal family, now you want to ruin someone’s husband?
Make Long Binger completely homeless?
At this time, Li Hu really wanted to know if His Majesty on the throne had a brain twitch.
How do you do such a shameful thing?
At this time, Li Hu coughed rather embarrassedly and said, "This...maybe there is a misunderstanding."
Just when Li Hu was thinking about how to argue, Zhao Huangxin's personal servant Liu Cheng shouted from the tower in a high-pitched and feminine voice: "We already know that the husband of your treasonous general is the King of Han of Chu.
, you have already shown signs of collaborating with the enemy and treason, so it seems that we did not make a mistake in killing Long Wu! You rebels, why don’t you abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side! Are you going to imitate this person’s treasonous behavior?!"
Long Wu turned his head and looked at Liu Cheng with an incomprehensible look.
Why don't you say a few words?
You don't know that Bai Fu died tragically last time, right?
Long Bing'er snorted coldly and said: "The Zhao State and the Chu State were allies at that time, and they are still the same now. You have signed a contract. When did marrying an ally count as treason? Besides, I am destroyed.
Zhao State has not been able to destroy She Zhao for sixty years. What has Zhao State done now? In this case, come, I want to see how many thunderous bombings these city walls and gates can withstand."
After Long Bing'er finished speaking, she retreated to the army accompanied by her personal guards. At the same time, overwhelming thunder poured down on the city wall.
Liu Cheng lay on the ground and looked at Li Hu, who was kneeling on one knee and hiding under the crenellations of the city wall: "General Li, the rebels are so angry! They went to war without declaring a war and killed our family like this!"
If it weren't for professional ethics, Li Hu really wanted to give Liu Cheng a hard kick at this moment. Damn it, if it weren't for you, the negotiation just now might have been a bit of fun!
