Chapter 102 What if you got the world without you? 5000
After occupying the capital, Zhao Yun immediately ordered people to cut off the supplies of King Zhao Ling's army, and quickly sent troops to suppress the rebel forces and recover the surrounding areas.
At this time, nearly fifty days had passed since King Zhao Ling's army besieged the city.
Zhao Yun is preparing to send troops back to rescue Zhang Beichen.
Xinnan admonished: "Your Majesty, I think that the city of Xindu at this time may have been destroyed. Even if the city is not destroyed, it is estimated that it will not be able to hold on for a few days under the siege of hundreds of thousands of King Ling's troops."
"We have just recaptured the capital, and our power is not yet stable at this time. There is no need to fight head-on with King Ling. We only need to defend the rear and delay time. King Ling's army will run out of food and grass. Over time, chaos will inevitably arise. By then, the king will be able to relax
Take control of Zhao State!"
"What do you mean, you want me to go back on my word and give up Xindu and Zhang Beichen?" Zhao Yun asked.
Xinnan advised: "If you lose one city but gain the whole country, why not?"
The ministers also said: "Your Majesty, what General Xinnan said is absolutely true. I believe Mr. Zhang knows and understands what the King is doing!"
In their opinion, Zhao Yun is ruthless in doing things and will never be merciful for big things. She should know what to do wisely.
Zhao Yun is also engaged in ideological struggle.
She naturally knew that by giving up Zhang Beichen at this time, she would have the advantage. In the past, she would have given the order without hesitation to give up the rescue.
But now, she hesitates!
She recalled every moment of her time with Zhang Beichen.
Before the military remonstrance, the relationship between the two could only be described as that of an ordinary monarch and minister. Until the military remonstrance failed, they began to flee.
The two depended on each other for their lives and enjoyed happiness in hardship.
The most important thing is that they have saved each other.
After he mistakenly killed his loyal minister and even said the words "I would rather pay for the people in the world than let the people of the world pay for me", Zhang Beichen still stood firmly on his side.
Also, he risked his life to pretend to surrender to Zhao Hua, and used his wisdom and courage to help himself out of trouble! Then for the sake of the overall situation, he took the initiative to stay in the letter to attract the enemy's attention...
All of this, even if Zhao Yun is really hard-hearted, she can't help but be shaken at this time!
"In this world, I have never met someone like Zhang Qing! Only when I am with Zhang Qing, I will not worry about being betrayed or assassinated! Without Zhang Qing, even if I really conquer the world, I will not be afraid of being betrayed or assassinated!"
Aren't you still alone?" Zhao Yun got her own answer.
She said to everyone: "Xinnan, you stay in the capital. The rest of the people will go to Xindu with Gu to help Zhang Qing!"
"Your Majesty, think twice!" everyone advised.
"Don't say any more words. I have already made up my mind. Anyone who dares to persuade me again will be immediately executed!" Zhao Yun said sternly.
The generals had no choice but to obey orders.
…
Xindu.
Zhang Beichen and the soldiers and civilians stayed here for fifty days!
Faced with the siege of hundreds of thousands of troops, they struggled to hold on. Zhang Beichen even slept at the top of the city. Even so, the number of defenders was getting smaller and smaller, and the city walls were becoming more and more dilapidated.
"Sir, the food in the city is running low, and our soldiers are almost dead!" The subordinate reported the situation with a sad face.
Zhang Beichen gritted his teeth and said: "Let the strong warriors stand on the wall, and the old and weak warriors stand behind and pretend to be weak. Don't show your weakness!"
"yes!"
Zhang Beichen knows that no matter how much he uses his resources, he can't hold on for long. If Zhao Yun doesn't come back to help him within a month, he will destroy the city and kill everyone!
…
In King Zhao Ling's military camp, King Zhao Ling was also very anxious.
He originally thought that he could capture Xindu within half a month, but who knew that almost two months had passed and Xindu City was still not broken.
Then news came from the rear that the capital was captured by Zhao Yun, and Zhao Yun also cut off his food routes. Without food and grass, how could he ensure that these soldiers obeyed his orders?
"How much grain and grass are left?" King Zhao Ling asked the grain inspector.
The grain inspector replied: "There is still enough for ten days! After ten days, we will run out of grain and grass!"
King Zhao Ling frowned, and then said: "Within ten days, we must capture Xindu at any cost!"
…
[The siege of King Zhao Ling is getting more and more powerful, and you are beginning to find it difficult to resist.]
For several days in a row, Zhang Beichen didn't take a break.
Now he is facing not only a shortage of personnel, but even the city walls are in dire straits!
"Sir, the enemy's offensive is too fierce. We have no chance to repair the city wall, and the materials in the city are insufficient." A subordinate reported.
Zhang Beichen ordered: "Then demolish the houses and tell the people that the demolished houses will be rebuilt for them later, and they will be built bigger!"
"The house has been demolished a long time ago!" the subordinate said helplessly.
Zhang Beichen looked back and saw that the once prosperous Xindu was now in dilapidated condition. In order to defend the city, Zhang Beichen even demolished the palace of Xindu!
He knew that if the city wall was not repaired, it would be impossible to defend the city just by relying on the old, weak, sick and disabled people left in the city!
At this time, a gust of cold wind blew, making Zhang Beichen feel chilly. He thought of an idea.
"Gather your hands and bring water to the city wall. Tonight, use well water to pour the city wall."
"As you command!"
[It is already winter in the area. That night, you cast water on the city wall, and the city wall was covered with a layer of ice. 】
…
"Attack the city!" King Zhao Ling ordered the siege, and the soldiers attacked Xindu again. They found that the surface of the Xindu city wall was covered with ice, making it difficult to climb, and the defenses were also consolidated.
Zhang Beichen also ordered people to use ice cubes instead of stones to attack the enemy.
[The enemy attacked several times, but you all blocked them!]
…
"Trash, all trash!" King Zhao Ling was so angry that he surrounded the city with hundreds of thousands of troops, but was actually blocked outside Xindu City.
The continuous siege of the city and the shortage of food and grass have caused a significant decline in morale, and soldiers fled every night.
So far, at least tens of thousands of people have traveled!
"Master, the spies have come to report that Zhao Yun has dispatched more than 100,000 troops and is rushing to Xindu. They will arrive soon!"
King Zhao Ling was a little surprised: "My daughter would actually give up her advantage and come to rescue Xindu?"
He thought for a moment and said: "No matter what, we will launch a general attack tomorrow. No one will be allowed to retreat until Xindu is captured!"
"yes!"
…
On the road, Zhao Yun is leading the cavalry to attack quickly!
After she regained the capital, she recruited nearby armies. The cavalry sent by King Zhao Ling to return to the capital was also taken under her command.
She is now leading the cavalry to assist first, while the infantry is chasing behind!
"Zhang Qing, hold on, I'm here!"
…
[King Zhao Ling launched a general offensive. This offensive was extremely fierce, and the city head of Xindu was captured! 】
Zhang Beichen held a knife and shouted: "Everyone, follow me to kill the enemy!"
After saying that, he took the lead and went out to kill, cutting down a piece of it.
[You and King Zhao Ling’s army started a tug-of-war at the head of Xindu City. You repeatedly competed for favorable terrain.]
[One day later, because your troops were out of strength, the city gate was still lost. You had to lead the defeated soldiers and carry out guerrilla warfare in the city. 】
[One day later, you have run out of ammunition and food and are surrounded by King Zhao Ling’s army.]
In a temporary stronghold, King Zhao Ling shouted inside: "Zhang Beichen, I know you are inside."
"You do have some talent. With such a small number of people, you can resist me for more than two months. I am very talented. If you surrender now, I will not only spare you the death penalty, but also appoint you as a minister!"
Zhang Beichen shouted: "Absolutely impossible!"
King Zhao Ling asked curiously: "What did my rebellious girl promise to you? To make you so loyal to her? Could it be that what she can give, I can't give?"
Zhang Beichen sneered, you really can't give it!
"I will give you one stick of incense to consider. After one stick of incense, if you don't surrender, you will be killed without mercy!" King Zhao Ling threatened.
Time passed by, and for Zhang Beichen and his remaining men, this period of time was torturous.
It's not even time to burn a stick of incense, but King Zhao Ling can't wait any longer.
He was about to give the order to kill everyone inside, when suddenly a messenger hurriedly came to deliver the news!
"Your Majesty, it's not good, the enemy's reinforcements have arrived! They are outflanking our retreat!"
"What? How did it come so fast?" King Zhao Ling was shocked and ordered: "Arrest everyone inside!"
[You and your subordinates fought hard, but were outnumbered and were captured by King Zhao Ling’s men.]
…
[Zhao Yun led the army to fight against King Zhao Ling’s army. King Zhao Ling’s army was defeated steadily because of low morale and exhausted soldiers. 】
On the dilapidated city wall of Xindu, King Zhao Ling looked down at Zhao Yun and angrily scolded: "Ni Nu, you are so rebellious and unethical, how dare you lead troops to attack your father!"
Zhao Yun's momentum was not weak at all, she shouted: "Father, I don't want to turn against you. But you are so indecisive that you actually want to make Zhao Hua king. If a country has three kings, how can such a country not perish?"
"Nonsense!" King Zhao Ling scolded, "Today I will get rid of you, a rebellious girl!"
Zhao Yun shouted: "Father, your army is short of men and horses. And Gu's army has sufficient supplies, and there are hundreds of thousands of troops behind to support it!"
"How can my father stop such a dilapidated Xindu City?"
King Zhao Ling remained silent. He also knew that it was impossible for the army that had run out of food to resist the opponent.
"Bring him up!" King Zhao Ling ordered his men.
A man who was tied up by a large five-flowered flower was brought up from the left and right, and it was Zhang Beichen.
At this time, Zhang Beichen described himself as withered and miserable.
When Zhao Yun saw his appearance, her heart was as sharp as a knife. Zhang Qing had become like this. He must have been having a hard time these days!
King Zhao Ling shouted: "If you dare to attack the city, I will kill him now!"
Zhao Yun's men all looked at Zhao Yun. They were not worried at all before. But this time, Zhao Yun came to rescue Zhang Beichen, which had subverted their understanding of Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun wanted to save Zhang Beichen, but she knew better that if she hesitated at this time, Zhang Beichen would only be in more danger!
So, she said with a cold face: "Then you kill him! If you kill him, you will not be allowed to enter the ancestral grave after your death!"
"You rebellious girl!" King Zhao Ling almost died of anger!
In this day and age, it is more uncomfortable to live in the ancestral grave than to kill him! Even if brothers and sisters kill each other, the deceased will usually be buried in peace.
"How did I raise such a rebellious girl like you!" King Zhao Ling really didn't expect that his usually smart and well-behaved daughter would become like this!
Zhao Yun continued: "Father, I don't want to fight with you. Our soldiers are all sons and daughters of Zhao! They may have brothers and sisters among them, but they are fighting against each other at this moment! Father, can you bear to see them?
Kill each other?”
As soon as Zhao Yun said these words, King Zhao Ling was immediately shaken. He has a kind personality and loves the people.
Zhao Yun added: "Father, take a look at the soldiers behind you. Who among them is willing to fight?"
King Zhao Ling looked back and saw that the soldiers were looking at him with pleading expressions, and some of them had even put down their swords.
"If the father surrenders, he can be a king of peace and see his daughter develop the Zhao Kingdom!" Zhao Yun continued.
King Zhao Ling looked troubled. Beside him, Zhang Beichen said weakly: "If you fight, no matter who wins or loses, Zhao will lose! King Ling, do you want the inheritance of your ancestors to be destroyed in your hands?"
After hearing what he said, King Zhao Ling sighed: "That's it, that's it! I'm done with the situation. If I start fighting again, I'll be sorry to my ancestors and the people of Zhao!"
He ordered his subordinates: "Lay down your weapons and surrender!"
[King Zhao Ling led the army to surrender, and Zhao Yun completely took back the power of Zhao State. She placed King Zhao Ling under house arrest in the Sand Dune Palace and did not allow him to enter Xindu or the capital. ]
[After another half a year of suppressing the rebellion, peace finally settled in the Zhao Kingdom.]
…
In the capital of Zhao State, Zhang Beichen was practicing martial arts in the courtyard. During the battle to defend the city, he had not slept for more than ten days in a row and was scarred. This caused too much damage to his body and he had to rest for a period of time.
Zhao Yun came to visit him.
"Zhang Qing!" Zhao Yun wore a red cheongsam. The cheongsam fit her body perfectly and was embroidered with flower patterns.
There was a high bifurcation on the lower part of the cheongsam, which swayed as she walked.
This kind of clothing did not exist in this era. It was invented by Zhang Beichen himself.
When he was recuperating and having nothing to do, he also invented some women's clothing, such as stockings, chest straps, etc. This can be regarded as enriching the clothing culture of this world.
"Your Majesty, you look so beautiful in this!" Zhang Beichen had thought that Zhao Yun's figure was very suitable for cheongsam, and sure enough, she looked like a goddess in it!
"Really?" Zhao Yun felt a little happy, "The clothes are okay, but the 'silk stockings' are a bit strange. I still don't get used to them."
The people of Zhao State have a relatively high degree of acceptance of "fancy clothes", because when King Zhao Ling was in power, he carried out clothing reforms and asked the Central Plains people to learn the costumes of the Hu people. This has been implemented for a long time, and even several surrounding countries are also learning from it.
This resulted in them being more receptive to novel clothing than people from surrounding countries. Zhao Yun's cheongsam has aroused an upsurge of imitation by noble women in the country, and tailor shops in the capital began to make custom cheongsams.
[You and Zhao Yun chatted until late at night.]
At night, Zhang Beichen and Zhao Yun were walking in the courtyard.
Zhang Beichen asked: "Your Majesty, if King Zhao Ling really killed me that day, what would your Majesty do?"
Zhao Yun did not hesitate and said: "Guhui will keep his promise and prevent him from entering the ancestral grave! Then he will trap and kill his army of hundreds of thousands and bury him with you!"
Zhang Beichen's heart tightened, he was going to massacre the city! Zhao Yun is indeed a ruthless person!
"Zhang Qing!" Zhao Yun suddenly turned around and looked at Zhang Beichen with bright eyes.
"Huh?" Zhang Beichen also looked at her.
Zhao Yun whispered: "Zhang Qing, Gu originally thought that when Gu came to this world, he was destined to be alone! If Gu wants to achieve great things and dominate the world, he can't make compromises and changes for anyone! Even Gu's father
The king, the king’s brother and the ministers!”
"But since I met Zhang Qing, Gu's heart began to waver! If there is no Zhang Qing in this world, what's the point of fighting him?"
Zhang Beichen was deeply moved. He was about to speak, but his mouth was blocked by Zhao Yun.
[The moonlight is gentle, and the intimacy between you and Zhao Yun increases by 100 points, reaching love.]
[That night, your yin and yang combined, and it was cloudy and rainy all night.]
…
In reality, Zhao Yun looked at the news from the simulator in disbelief.
"Gu, would you really do this for a man?" People around her said that she was ruthless and hard-hearted!
But this time, she found that she had turned into an infatuated girl!
"Although it's strange, it feels good!" Zhao Yun thought to herself.
…
[After several months of rest, Zhao Yun officially appointed you as the Prime Minister of the State of Zhao. You began to innovate and strengthen the State of Zhao.]
Zhao Guo's development is finally on track, but in the simulated time and space, more than two years have passed!
In two years, Qin State has destroyed Yiqu State, Wushi State and Quyan State, and its strength has greatly increased.
Wei State took advantage of the civil strife in Zhao State, occupied part of Zhao State's territory, and also conquered Song State.
South Korea also took the opportunity to occupy part of Zhao's territory.
This time, Chu State did not become as strong as before.
Zhang Beichen saw the news:
[The King of Chu, Xiong Zhitong, became obsessed with martial arts and died of a sudden illness. The ministers of the Chu State supported the King of Chu's cousin as king. After the new king ascended the throne, he vigorously suppressed Xiong Zhitong's old tribe. The old tribe was dissatisfied and rebelled. Chu
The country fell into civil strife.]
"I didn't expect King Chu to be off the assembly line early! I guess he was practicing too fast!" Zhang Beichen thought to himself, this is good, there is one less competitor this time.
Moreover, after the civil strife in Chu, Qin, Wei, South Korea, Qi and other countries began to make plans for Chu and would not invade Zhao for the time being, giving Zhao some time to breathe.
Zhang Beichen checked the news of Qi and Yan again.
[The King of Yan marched north and flattened the Linhu tribe, and his national power increased. 】
[The Tian family of Qi forced the King of Qi to abdicate, and the head of the Tian family became the new King of Qi. The old King of Qi died of illness in the palace in the same year.]
"Qi State was also in civil strife, but Qi State quelled the chaos very quickly." Zhang Beichen discovered that the new King of Qi quickly put down the domestic turmoil. He had already begun to conquer Yue State and Yan State, and also wiped out Lu State and conquered a large area.
territory.
Qi State borders Zhao State on a large area again, and there will definitely be a fight in the future.
As for the State of Zhao, due to this great turmoil, much of its territory was occupied, its national strength declined, and it was temporarily unable to go on an expedition.
[You adopt a moderate strategy to let the people recuperate. At the same time, you write to King Zhao to form an alliance with South Korea and Wei.]
[The King of Zhao agreed with your suggestion and sent envoys to South Korea and Wei. The King of Han and the King of Wei agreed to form an alliance. 】
"It's okay now. Qin will not come to attack Zhao for the time being. Wei and South Korea will remain in alliance for the time being. They only need to focus on dealing with the surrounding Yan, Qi and Zhongshan."
Zhang Beichen thought, this game should start with Zhongshan Kingdom, which is relatively weak. Now both Qi and South Korea are plotting against it, and no matter who makes a move, it will arouse the other's vigilance. Therefore, this game should only be fought with Zhongshan State.
