Chapter 193 Big Shock

Ying Zheng looked at the Qin territory, which seemed a little small in the whole world, and fell into deep thought.

"So that's how it is. There is actually such a vast world out there. What a blessing!"

Ying Zheng couldn't help but sigh. His previous life plan was just to unify the seven kingdoms and guard against foreign races.

At this moment his thoughts changed. Since the world is so vast, how can he not be unrestrained and do whatever he wants?

"Excuse me." Gongsun Ce raised his hand to interrupt Ying Zheng's divergent thinking, "A Zheng, have you ever thought about how big the outside world is based on the current territory of Qin?

And even if we start to expand our territory, how will we establish supply lines? Where will the supplies come from? Where will the troops come from? After conquering, how will we manage the extra land? "

Gongsun Ce's pour of cold water successfully calmed down the passionate Ying Zheng.

Only then did Ying Zheng realize that there were too many problems to be solved if he wanted to continue fighting, and the current priority was to unify the seven kingdoms.

"Report! Military report from the front line!"

At this moment, outside Zhangtai Palace, a military report suddenly arrived.

After reading the military report, Ying Zheng handed it to Gongsun Ce to read.

Gongsun Ce couldn't help but smile after reading the military report. Wang Jian is indeed a veteran actor, his acting skills are superb.

After the fall of Handan of Zhao State, the remaining cities of Zhao State became isolated islands. Without supplies and reinforcements, they were under the scattered encirclement and suppression of Huan Xi and Yang Duanhe.

Most of the cities of Zhao State had fallen, leaving only a few cities near Daicheng: Wuqiong, Dangcheng, Yangyuan, Pingshu, Fansi, and Lingqiu.

Among them, Fansi and Lingqiu are located on the mountains and by the water respectively. Zhao Jia's nominal anti-Qin road is to use these two cities as the last barrier.

Therefore, Wang Jian's feigned defeat occurred in Fan Si, and the battle report wrote that Wang Jian's offensive was blocked in Fan Si.

Ten days ago, he led the elite Qin army to the city of Fansi in Zhao State.

Fansi City, one of the last barriers of Zhao State, was an important fortress for Zhao State to resist the invasion of Qin Army.

The defenders in the city were on high alert, for they knew that once Fansi City fell, the fate of Zhao State would be in jeopardy.

However, Wang Jian was not in a hurry to launch an attack. The purpose of his coming this time was to create an illusion - that Zhao Jia was capable and had the potential to revive the State of Zhao.

This would lure out all anti-Qin forces within the Zhao State and wipe them out in one fell swoop.

Wang Jian first ordered his men to put the armor of Qin soldiers on a group of Zhao prisoners.

These captives originally had haggard faces, their eyes were filled with fear and despair, but at this moment, they were wearing brand new armor and holding sharp weapons, as if they had become brave Qin soldiers.

When everything was ready, Wang Jian ordered the war drums to be beaten and the horns to be blown.

Suddenly, war drums roared, trumpets blew, and flags covered the sky.

These Zhao captives, who were dressed as Qin soldiers, had to run towards Fansi City under the threat of the bows and crossbows set up by the Qin army behind them.

The defenders of Fansi City saw this group of people running towards the city from afar. They were wearing the armor of Qin soldiers, holding weapons, and looked very aggressive.

The defending general was shocked, thinking that the Qin army had really launched an attack.

"Fire arrows!"

He immediately ordered the archers to prepare to shoot arrows and get ready to attack the sudden Qin army.

Following the commander's order, arrows began to rain down.

These arrows instantly pierced through the bodies of the Zhao army captives, killing them one by one.

On the battlefield below the city, blood suddenly flowed like a river and corpses were everywhere.

The Zhao army in the city were all shocked when they saw this.

They never imagined that these seemingly brave Qin soldiers were actually just a group of Zhao captives.

Wang Jian used the threat of bows and crossbows and the will to survive of the Zhao captives to push them onto the battlefield and make them run towards Fansi City.

The general defending Fansi City on the city wall was very proud at this time. He did not realize that he had fallen into Wang Jian's trap. Instead, he thought that Wang Jian was nothing special.

However, after seeing this scene at the foot of the city, Wang Jian did not feel the slightest bit of pity or sympathy. Besides, this was part of the plan.

Sure enough, after a brief moment of shock, the defenders of Fansi City began to relax their vigilance.

They thought that Wang Jian's attack had been successfully repelled and that the Qin army had suffered heavy losses.

So they began to strengthen the city’s defenses and prepare for the next round of attack.

However, they did not wait for the next round of attack.

Instead, Wang Jian ordered the entire army to retreat. The Qin army retreated like a tide, leaving behind only a messy battlefield and corpses all over the ground.

Seeing this, the defender of Fansi City couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

They thought they had successfully repelled the Qin army's attack and kept the city of Fansi safe.

However, they did not realize that this was only part of Wang Jian's strategy.

After Wang Jian withdrew his troops, he did not leave Fansi City directly.

Instead, he chose to camp in the nearby mountains and forests and secretly observe the situation in Fansi City.

Gongsun Ce looked at the military report in front of him and prepared to start the next step of his plan - the recruitment order.

"A Zheng, we can start the next step of the plan."

"Very good." Ying Zheng nodded and waved to Zhang Han, "Zhang Han, listen to my orders." The Shushan Shadow Guard Training Camp has entered a stable development period. Zhang Han, the leader of the Shadow Guard appointed by Ying Zheng, no longer needs to be supervised in person.

So Zhang Han brought the first group of secret guards back to Xianyang to meet Ying Zheng.

At this time, Zhang Han was waiting outside the Zhangtai Palace. When he received the call from Ying Zheng, he immediately entered the Zhangtai Palace.

"The end will be here."

Gongsun Ce took over Ying Zheng's words, "Zhang Han, I order you to lead the Shadow Guards to secretly enter the vicinity of Daicheng. Once you receive the news that Daicheng has announced the recruitment order, you must immediately enter the city and assist Meng Yi in identifying the anti-Qin forces.

In addition, you can secretly contact people who are not anti-Qin forces. If the other party is capable, you can promise them high positions and generous salaries and use them for our Great Qin."

"promise!"

So Zhang Han, who had just returned to Xianyang, set out again for Daicheng.

At this time in Daicheng, Zhao Jia sat on the main seat in the County Magistrate's Mansion and welcomed the flattery of others.

Among these people were members of the Zhao royal family, local officials from Daicheng, and officials who escaped from other cities.

At this time, they had already received the news that Fansi City had successfully repelled Wang Jian, so they were full of praise.

In their view, it is not impossible for Zhao Jia to successfully recover the State of Zhao. Once Zhao Jia succeeds, they will be considered as his followers, and wealth and glory will be within their grasp.

"Young Master Jia is truly a rare talent."

"Yes, yes, it is a great fortune for our great Zhao to have Gongzi Jia."

"The King of Restoration!"

"That's right, the King of Daxing!"

"Dai Wangjia!"
Faced with all kinds of exaggerated compliments, Zhao Jia accepted them one by one. At the same time, Meng Yi, Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, Wang Chao and Ma Han, who were pretending to be guards beside Zhao Jia, were secretly writing down the names of these people to ensure that no one would escape.

Zhao Jia drank the wine in the wine cup at this time, raised his hand and pressed it down, "Everyone, everyone, listen to me."

Seeing that the scene had quieted down, Zhao Jia began to express his thoughts, which were actually the lines that Gongsun Ce had prepared for him.

"Qin had the Hall of Recruiting Talents, Yan had the Golden Terrace, Qi had the Jixia Academy... Each country had measures to recruit talents.

Today, our State of Zhao is in danger and lacks great wisdom to help us turn the tide and save the country from collapse.

Therefore, I have decided to issue a decree to recruit talented people to save Zhao State. I hope you will help me."

As soon as Zhao Jia finished speaking, this group of Zhao State veterans began to agree loudly. After all, they didn't understand military affairs and they were basically civilians.

So Zhao Jia's recruitment order began to be announced, and soon people came to Daicheng to join Zhao Jia.

Zhao Jia looked at the three people and the horse in front of him and was silent. Meng Yi behind Zhao Jia could hardly hold back his laughter.

Zhang Han had two swords hanging from his waist. He clasped his fists and saluted Zhao Jia. "I am Liu Han, and this is my second brother Guanjian, and my third brother Zhang Bao."

After Zhang Han finished speaking, the two secret guards disguised as Guan Jian and Zhang Bao saluted Zhao Jia with their fists clasped.

Zhang Han then pointed to the white horse behind him and began to introduce, "We are three sworn brothers. We have long heard of your great name, and have come to serve you. This is the famous horse De Lu that we stumbled upon on the road. Please accept it, sir."

Liu, Guan, Zhang, plus Di Lu who is a nuisance to the lord, all the buffs are stacked up at this moment. Even if Zhao Jia changes his name to Liu Xiu on the spot, it will be of no avail. Naik cannot withstand such restraint.

Zhao Jia still had a warm smile on his face. "Thank you three for being willing to serve a homeless man like me. Guard Zhan, please take the three warriors down to rest."

Meng Yi suppressed his smile and led the way for Zhang Han and the other two. "Please come, three brave men."

On the way, Meng Yi intentionally or unintentionally talked to Zhang Han, "Liu Zhuangshi, are there only three of you who are joining the young master this time?"

Zhang Han naturally knew what Meng Yi wanted to ask, so he spoke frankly, "There are also dozens of villagers from my Liujia Village, and hundreds of refugee soldiers we met on the road."

Meng Yi immediately understood that there were at least hundreds of troops stationed in Daicheng, which was enough to start a war with internal and external forces.

Outside Daicheng, the hybrid of Yan Dan and the mountain ghost came here. At present, the fusion of Yan Dan and the mountain ghost is not complete, which means that Yan Dan cannot use the mountain ghost's ability to transform his body for the time being.

Once Yan Dan returns to China, a simple physical examination will be enough to kill him socially.

Thinking of the rumors that the whole Yan State was filled with rumors that Crown Prince Yan Dan was actually a woman, Yan Dan did not dare to return to his country for the time being.

Therefore, after seeing Zhao Jia's recruitment order, Yan Dan came to Daicheng.

The Luowang spies hiding near Daicheng discovered Yan Dan's true identity the moment Yan Dan stepped into Daicheng.

Therefore, before Wang Jian attacked Daicheng, Gongsun Ce received intelligence from Luowang.

Taiwei Mansion.

Gongsun Ce looked at the information in his hand and pondered for a moment, then decided to arrest Yan Dan in Daicheng.

At this time Jingwei came to Gongsun Ce. Jingwei had already broken through to the late Grandmaster stage. Although his progress was not as fast as Feiyan's, it was also a very rare progress.

"Two top-level killers have emerged again. Do you want to send them on a mission?"

Gongsun Ce was somewhat curious about which two famous swords had their masters again, "Who is it?"

"Zhen Gang and Duan Shui. Zhen Gang was imprisoned in death row for failing to assassinate Lü Buwei. Recently, he has been subdued by Luowang and has become a murderous weapon.

Duan Shui is a killer of Luowang Laodao. He was once a level 1 killer and broke through to the Grandmaster level not long ago. "

Gongsun Ce thought for a moment and felt that Jingwei's suggestion was feasible. "Okay, I will personally supervise and Luowang will start implementing the plan to capture Yan Dan."
