Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

You must know that the spring plowing has just ended, and now the county soldiers have just gathered in Changzhi County, ready to start training for one year and three months.

But now there is no money or food, what do you use to raise soldiers, what do you use to fight?

Thinking of this, the white-haired Ju Xin couldn't help but sigh.

"Could it be that I just ended up depressed as a defeated general?"

The depressed old general took a few of his personal guards and decided to go to the top of the city for a walk. This is also his usual way of relaxing in the past two years.

After reprimanding a few big-headed soldiers who were lazy under the scorching sun on the top of the city, and whipped them down a few times, the old general's mood improved a lot.

"Although there have been no enemies in Shangdang County for a long time, you should not relax your vigilance. You must always be on guard. Otherwise, if the enemy comes one day, how can you protect your home and country with your appearance?!"

The old general spoke harshly, but except for a few soldiers who had been whipped and knelt on the ground trembling, the rest of the soldiers, including the soldiers behind Ju Xin, did not take it seriously.

Just like Shangdang County, there is Hedong in the west, Yanmendai County in Yunzhong in the north, and Handan in the east. Who can fight here?

South Korea?Everyone knows that South Korea is the younger brother of Zhao Guo.

Juxin is also an old Jianghu, how can he not know the thoughts of these soldiers under his command?Just as he was about to continue to reprimand, he suddenly stopped and turned his head to look to the south.

On the road to the south, a horse came with a rider on it, causing a lot of smoke and dust.

Although Ju Xin was old, his eyesight was not dim. Instead, he saw a tattered piece of red cloth behind the knight, whether it was tied with a wooden stick or something else.

"Is there a military situation?" Ju Xin's body shook, and he quickly walked down the wall.

After a while, the knight arrived on horseback, and Ju Xin immediately greeted him, and shouted: "I am the county captain, Ju Xin, what do you have in the army?"

Immediately, the knight rolled off his saddle and fell off his horse. He saluted Ju Xin and was about to speak when he staggered suddenly.

Ju Xin reached out his hand to help the knight in time, took out a water bottle from his hand and stuffed it into the knight's hand, and said in a deep voice, "Drink first, and speak slowly."

The knight reached out to take the kettle in Ju Xin's hand, gulped it down, and then said to Ju Xin: "Jun Lieutenant, something is not right. South Korean General Jin Bing led an army of tens of thousands to the north. Three days ago We have arrived at Changping Pass! Please report to the king quickly, so that the king can send reinforcements!"

Chapter 693 Shangdang Dangerous Situation (Second Update)

The surprise in Ju Xin's heart when he heard this was really no small matter, even the tone of his voice couldn't help but rise a lot: "What?"

Not only Ju Xin, but even the guards around Ju Xin also heard these words, and all of them showed surprised expressions on their faces.

South Korea is going to war with Zhao Guo?This is an out-and-out big event!

Ju Xin took a deep breath and fixed his eyes on the Zhao soldier in front of him: "Is this really true?"

This is a big matter, so I can't help but be careless. After all, South Korea is an ally of Zhao Guo.

The soldier of Zhao army who came to report the letter had extremely red eyes, and said through gritted teeth: "Junwei, I am Sima Shang, the guard of Changping Pass. I was ordered by the generals of Changping Pass to report the letter. If there is a false report, I am willing to be punished by the military law!"

As he spoke, Sima Shang took out a small token from his pocket and handed it to Ju Xin.

When Ju Xin took this small token, he felt a little cold in his hands. The style still looked brand new, with "Zhao Shangdang" engraved on the front and "Changping Pass" engraved on the north.

You must know that Changping Pass is, after all, one of the five passes of Taihangxing in the Nanshang Party, and it belongs to the front line of defense of the Party in the South. Therefore, although the guards in these five passes are not high-ranking officials, they all have Holding such a token for emergency notification.

As soon as Ju Xin saw the token, his face changed again, and he knew that things were serious.

You must know that a county lieutenant can be regarded as a high-ranking general, especially a county lieutenant like Ju Xin who is stationed on the border of the country often reports the border situation to the Zhao State Central Committee.

According to normal rules, if Zhao Guo might go to war with South Korea, even if the soldiers from Shangdang County will not be mobilized, there should be a secret order jointly issued by the monarch Zhao Dan and General Lian Po to let the county go to war. Lieutenant ready for war.

But this time, the Han army had already come to the door, but Handan did not have any information at all.

What does this mean?This shows that Zhao Guo's senior management didn't realize this at all!

When thinking of this, Ju Xin knew that the trouble this time was really big!

Ju Xin's face was serious, and he asked Sima Shang again, "Are you sure there are tens of thousands of Korean soldiers?"

Sima Shang nodded vigorously and said, "At least [-] or more, the number will only increase, not less!"

What Sima Shang didn't know was that there were actually 15 Korean troops arriving this time!

This is not to be blamed on Sima Shang, after all, Taihang Xing was originally very steep, and the 15 troops winding around in such a place is not something he can see clearly at such a small pass as Changping Pass. .

What's more, as the saying goes, "There is no limit to the number of people." If it is not the kind of general who often leads the army to fight, even if it flies over the head of the army in a plane, it is impossible to tell how many people there are. Anyway, it is densely packed. It's all about people.

Ju Xin stood up, pointed out two soldiers, and said, "You and the two of you will bring Sima Shang back to my mansion, let him have a good rest, and I'll go see the sheriff!"

"What? One hundred thousand Korean troops attacked Shangdang County?" When Li Qi, the governor of Shangdang County, heard the news brought by Ju Xin, he was so shocked that he almost passed out.

You must know that there are only five thousand soldiers in Shangdang County at present!How can we fight a mere [-] county soldiers against a [-] Korean army?

Ju Xin looked at Li Qi's bewildered look, although he knew that the matter was urgent, but he couldn't help but flashed a little bit of pleasure in his heart to ask you to talk about cutting military expenditures.

But after all, Ju Xin also knew that the overall situation was important, so he immediately said to Li Qi: "The county guard, for the current plan, you should quickly call the people from ten miles and eight towns into the city, and then send people to Handan to ask for help and warn Hedong County!"

Although it is said that Li Qi is now higher than Ju Xin in terms of official position, but compared to war, Ju Xin naturally won Li Qi by how much. That's what Lieutenant said."

With Li Qi's support, Ju Xin unceremoniously took the initiative, and order after order began to be distributed in an orderly manner.

First of all, Ju Xin sent a large number of spies to Changping in the south, preparing to spy on the real situation of the Korean army and find out how many Koreans came to attack Shangdang County this time.

Secondly, it is natural to call farmers from ten miles and eight townships to take refuge in the city quickly, or hide in the mountains. Anyway, the Taihang Mountains are so deep, as long as they hide in the mountains, the Koreans will not search the mountains with great fanfare.

In the end, it was to warn all parts of the Northward Party, and the big counties like Tunliu and Changzi had to be notified, otherwise, the South Korean army would be in danger when they arrived in these counties.

"Why the North Shangdang, isn't there also the counties of the South Shangdang?" Li Qi couldn't help asking.

Ju Xin sighed, and said, "Governor, do you think the five thousand county soldiers under my command can save the Nanshangdang counties?"

Li Qi's face was ashen, and it took a long time before he said: "Since you say that, then Chang Ping has no choice but to give up?"

"We must give up!" Ju Xin said firmly: "Junshou, I am not afraid to tell you directly, let alone Changping, I am afraid that even Changping Pass and Guguan cannot be guarded. There are too few people!"

"Then what should we do?" Li Qi's face was pale: "Could it be that the Han army is allowed to attack Changzhi City so blatantly?"

Ju Xin sighed, and said: "The sheriff, just relying on these 5000 troops, defending Changzhi to the death is the most likely choice to support the arrival of reinforcements, unless the sheriff wants to abandon the city."

Li Qi was speechless.

Abandon the city?Anyone can abandon the city, but Li Qi is the highest official in Shangdang County. If he abandons the city, then Zhao Dan will definitely not let him go. Dividing a body by five horses is light, at least it is a family punishment.

How dare Li Qi abandon the city?

So the Shangdang county guard gritted his teeth, shook his robe sleeves angrily, put on a dignified look, and said: "I am guarding one side for the king. Now that the enemy army is attacking, the hearts of the Shangdang people are shaken. When I am loyal to the king, how can I talk about running away? The county lieutenant can do whatever he wants, and I will do my best to help!"

When Li Qi said these words, Ju Xin also breathed a sigh of relief.
