Hearing Guan Ying's voice, the men hesitated for a moment, then stepped back, and at the same time inserted their weapons back.
Although it can be seen that the more than 20 people are not the guards hired by ordinary businessmen, but brave men with real strength and have seen blood. But compared with Liu Bang's side, it is far behind. Let's not talk about Liu Bang, Fan Hui and Lu Wan. Even the other ten German soldiers can definitely beat four or five of them one by one. .
And Zhang Liang, who seems to be weak, don't forget that she has a lot of terrifying Taoist skills that can save her life.
"Miss, who are they?"
Although Guan Ying stopped them just now, it can be seen that the old man still cares about Liu Bang and others.
"Second uncle, are they all okay?" Guan Ying asked casually, then looked at Liu Bang and the others, somewhat hesitant as to how to explain.
"We are the martial artists who escorted Miss Guan Ying to Handan City."
After Liu Bang finished speaking, he blinked at Guan Ying over there. Obviously, he didn't want too many people to know their identities. Guan Ying was so flexible that she immediately understood what Liu Bang meant and nodded directly, helping Liu Bang admit it.
Although the old man is old, his eyesight is not blind. It was obvious that what Liu Bang said just now was not the truth, but he did not dwell on it again, and he probably guessed it to some extent. And he also noticed that there was nothing wrong with the eldest lady Guan Ying he mentioned, so he turned a blind eye.
"Miss, the second master was slightly injured and is currently resting in the inner courtyard."
Hearing what the old man said, a trace of surprise and worry flashed across Guan Ying's face, but she controlled it well, so she did not immediately walk anxiously towards the inner courtyard, but looked towards Liu Bang and others.
"Miss Guan Ying, there is no need to worry, you can go and deal with your own affairs first."
"Obviously, Guan Ying was very anxious when she heard that her second uncle was injured, but she was concerned about their existence. Anyway, I think there are some things that cannot be rushed. Liu Bang was not in a hurry. Now that we have arrived in Handan City, the next thing will only take a little time.
Hearing what Liu Bang said, Guan Ying nodded slightly gratefully. Then he gave instructions to the old man over there, "Uncle He, please make arrangements and I'll go see my second uncle."
"Yes. Miss!"
The old man nodded, and then after watching Guan Ying leave, he turned around and looked at Liu Bang's side. Through the brief conversation just now, he once again confirmed in his heart that these people were definitely not just martial artists who came here to protect Guan Ying as they said on the surface.
However, he was very polite and led Liu Bang and others. We came to a few empty houses that looked relatively clean.
"Guys, since the incident happened suddenly, I would like to ask you to take a rest here temporarily. After daybreak, I will ask someone to clean this place."
"I'm tired."
Although these rooms are a bit dilapidated, they have everything they need, and they are not here for vacation, so they don't pay attention to these small things.
Wait for the old man to leave. Liu Bang and others also breathed a sigh of relief. Nowadays, their identities are more sensitive. Outside the city is the Qin Dynasty army pressing the border. There was King Han and others in the city who could not tell whether they were enemies or friends, so their nerves were always tense after entering the city.
After asking someone to confirm that no one was nearby, Liu Bang called Fan Hui, Lu Wan and Zhang Liang into a room.
"Okay, now that we have successfully arrived in the city, what should we do next. Zizi?"
"wait!"
wait? Liu Bang looked confused, not quite understanding the meaning of Zhang Liang's words.
"If the Nu family is right, there will be many people who want to secretly intervene in the siege of Handan City this time."
"You mean. How many other countries? But they have not sent reinforcements." Originally in this era, there was no real friendship and alliance between each other. If there was a chance, although the King of Han was also one of the Six Nations Alliance, But the other countries wouldn't mind eating them in one bite.
"No, if nothing else, the King of Zhao must be planning to make both Zhang Han and the King of Han lose. When the time comes, he may suddenly send out troops and become a fisherman."
Liu Bang did not doubt what Zhang Liang said.
Originally, Handan County and Handan City were the territory of the State of Zhao. After they were destroyed by the Qin Dynasty, the original descendants of the Zhao family were not extinct. Unfortunately, this time the Qin Dynasty gave them a chance after Qin Shihuang was assassinated and disappeared. Unfortunately, I didn't expect that King Han would take over this place first.
It can be said that the State of Zhao and the King of Zhao must hate King Han's behavior. It's just that it has been hindering the behemoth Qin Dynasty from fighting among themselves.
This time Zhao State's refusal to send troops has shown their attitude. Once the city of Handan is broken, the King of Han is destroyed, and if Zhang Han suffers too heavy losses, Zhao State may have to take advantage of it.
"Qi and Wei won't just sit idly by and ignore it, right?"
Excluding Fan Hui, who didn't understand anything at all and was already sleeping on Liu Bang's chest, Lu Wan also expressed his own opinion.
The alliance of the six countries in the world against Qin is Yan, Wei, Zhao, Han, Qi, and Chu! Among them, the Yan State is far away from the Central Plains in northern Xinjiang, and rarely interferes in the affairs here. Among the Six Nations Alliance, the anti-Qin attitude has always been the most negative. The Chu State is in southern Xinjiang, which is somewhat far away. Although the military operations are very aggressive because of the Xiang family, it is still difficult to intervene here.
"The closest ones to here are the three kingdoms of Zhao, Wei, and Qi. Among them, Zhao is the closest, but has the worst relationship. However, Wei and Qi have the ability to intervene.
"Of course they won't be indifferent, but they don't necessarily really want to help the current King of Han."
Zhang Liang shook his head, and then took out the Qin Dynasty territory map he carried with him. Certain modifications have been made above, including the remaining areas controlled by the Qin Dynasty, the areas controlled by the Six Kingdoms, and some third-rate spheres of influence such as Liu Bang. It can be seen that a lot of thought was put into this picture.
"From a geographical point of view, although Qi is close to the East China Sea and will not be directly attacked by the Qin Dynasty, it is very difficult to develop."
Sure enough, on the map, where the State of Qi is located, the boundary of the State of Chu is below, and the boundary of the State of Yan is above. To the east is the vast sea, and the only west side that can develop is blocked by the three kingdoms of Wei, Zhao, and Han.
"Although the Tian family of the King of Qi used to be a group of people who were greedy for pleasure, I heard that the current King of Qi is not like that. He is a tycoon with considerable ambitions. The Nu family believes that no matter which family in the world, the ultimate goal is not It¡¯s so easy to overthrow the Qin Dynasty!¡±
Liu Bang nodded. There is no doubt that overthrowing the declining Qin Dynasty is just an appetizer, or a prelude to the changes of the times. The real thing is who will fall in the world after the Qin Dynasty dissipates.
Whether it will continue to return to the great chaos of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, or who can replace the Qin Dynasty after its demise, even Liu Bang, who knows history, is not sure, because history has changed too much.
"If the King of Han was destroyed by Zhang Han, and after Zhang Han paid the price, a large army suddenly appeared and defeated Zhang Han's remaining army in one fell swoop, then it would be a logical thing to control Handan City and even Handan County, even if someone If you come out and question it, I think for some people, this is not a problem at all.¡±
Due to the alliance, they may not be able to fight each other openly, but if they take back the occupied territory from the Qin Dynasty army, it is estimated that no one will generously return the meat.
"At least, Wei and Qi have this possibility."
"Where is Zhao State?" After hearing Zhang Liang's analysis, Lu Wan couldn't help but be curious, "Zhao State should be the most eager to regain the ancestral land."
"Of course, Zhao Guo must have this plan, but they are too weak, and even if they have the intention, they are unable to do so. In addition, the current King Zhao is somewhat illegitimate, and once Wei and Qi intervene, it will not be their turn to intervene. room."
¡°It¡¯s so complicated, Niuniu¡¯s head hurts from listening to it!¡±
Fan Hui sat in front of Liu Bang, blinking sour eyes. This kind of thing was still too difficult for her to understand.
"Zi Zi, do you mean to wait until the armies of Wei and Qi arrive? But is it too late? Although we can't see clearly at night, there should be less than 12,300 people who can still fight in Handan City today. Right, and after continuously defending the city, morale is low. If this continues, if Zhang Han continues to attack, maybe in two or three days No, maybe it will be unbearable tomorrow." "Of course not, if we wait until Qi Guo and If Wei's army comes, our purpose this time will be defeated. And as Brother Liu said, Handan City will not be able to hold on for that long. This is probably not expected by Qi and Wei."
Zhang Liang is also well aware of the combat effectiveness of the country where his ancestors lived. They were known as the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period, but there is no doubt that South Korea is the weakest, even weaker than Zhao, which has always been jokingly called a group of scholars.
Therefore, when Zhang Han's Qin army attacked the city, it was able to hold on for so many days because the walls of Handan City were high enough and strong enough. otherwise¡¡
"If what the Nu family expected is true, and if Handan City has no other trump card, then when the sun rises, it may be the final battle!"
Is it so fast? Liu Bang was a little surprised, but he patiently waited for Zhang Liang's next plan.
"And at that time, it was also a good opportunity for us." Sure enough, Zhang Liang lowered his head and revealed some of his plans to Liu Bang and others. After hearing this plan, even Liu Bang, who had been familiar with it before, was a little worried. Surprised, not to mention Lu Wan. Only Fan Hui Forget it, this girl was already snoring slightly in Liu Bang's arms just now
