The two Rong prisoners in the grass looked very miserable after hanging on the flagpole for a few days. If they weren't angry, they would easily be mistaken for two air-dried corpses.

After understanding the cause and effect of the matter, a few angry words flashed across Handanzhan's face: "These Rongdi are becoming more and more lawless now. Brother Zheng!"

A young man in his twenties, tall and tall, with a very similar appearance to Handanzhan walked up: "Sect Master, Handan Zheng is here."

Handan Chan said: "Take these two people down and ask them a lot to see if you can get something out."

Handan Zheng nodded, his eyes paused slightly on Wei Xiang's body, and then walked straight towards the flagpole.

A moment later, the two Rongdi prisoners were dragged by Handan Zheng, one by one, and the other by Wei Xiang and others with a face-to-face manner.

Wei Xiang looked at the departure of Handanzhan and suddenly spoke, "Sect Master, I think Ling doesn't seem to like me very much."

Handan Chan paused for a moment and showed a helpless smile: "My brother Zheng was originally the commander of the Handan army... But don't worry, I have already told him that he will not affect you. Okay, go to the city first."

The convoy slowly entered the city.

Wei Xiang thought that since Handan was invaded by Rong Di, it was hundreds of years before the later Zhao State moved its capital here. It must have been just an ordinary small city, but the reality is that the prosperity of Handan City was beyond Wei Xiang's expectations.

The tall city gates, wide streets, and the entrances of the market are crowded with people. The noise from the walls reminds Wei Xiang of the market day in his previous life and the days when he fought with the old men and mothers in the supermarket membership day.

Shi Xie, who was standing beside him, said, "I have heard that Handan was the second largest city besides Weidu Chaoge, but now it is indeed true when I see it."

Speaking of which, Handan is actually quite dramatic when it falls into the hands of Jin State.

The rich plains from Hanoi to Handan were actually the territory of Wei. Wei was also the same as Zheng and Shen, and even ordered the princes of the Central Plains to be ordered to be ordered to be sent to the Central Plains.

However, during the reign of Duke Yi of Wei sixty years ago, due to his arrogant, extravagant and unrestrained internal affairs, the Wei State was jointly attacked by the Chidi tribes, and Handan and Chaoge were trapped in the hands of Chidi.

Later, Duke Huan of Qi helped, and Wei State was spared from the disaster of destruction and re-establishing the country in Chuqiu. However, Handan and Chaoge could not take it back.

Therefore, the fat piece of meat occupied by the Chi Di from Hanoi to Handan became the salutational territory of nearby Chinese princes.

At that time, there were three major contenders in the Central Plains, one was Qi in the east, the other was Jin in the west, and the other was Zheng in the south.

In terms of terrain, Jin, which is separated from Hanoi by Wangwu Mountain and Taihang Mountain, is actually the worst one, but the other two competitors, Zheng and Chu, Song, and Duke Huan of Qi focused on intervening in the civil strife of the Zhou royal family because of the death of the Zhou emperor.

The opportunity should not be missed. At that time, Duke Xian of Jin made a quick decision to lead his army to advance eastward, seized Chaoge, Handan and other places from Chi Di, and drove the Chi Di tribes back to Taihang Mountains, allowing the territory of Jin to officially extend from Hedong to the Central Plains, thus having the ability to fight against Qi, Chu and other countries for the hegemony of the Central Plains.

This is a crucial step on the rise of Jin State to become a hegemon.

Although the Chidi tribe was driven back to the mountain, they never gave up their dream of regaining Chaoge and Handan. After all, the prosperity of these two cities is very memorable. After the Chidi tribes seized these two cities, according to the historians, it was "I don't know the time when I sing and sing every night, and all the women in the city were defiled."

The two sides have been fighting many times over the years. Last year, Chi Di accidentally attacked Handan. Handan Chan, who had just ascended the throne, rushed to fight but was defeated. This was why Handan Chan then went to Zhao Shuo for help.

"No wonder the Handan clan dared to challenge the Zhao clan with this city alone. It turned out that they really had the capital." Wei Xiang thought silently in his heart, correcting his understanding.

Are the conditions proposed earlier too discounted?

Wei Xiang turned his head to look at Handanzhan and found that the leader of Handan was dressed in gorgeous clothes, with a kind face.

Let’s look at the people in Handan. They were all full of energy, neatly dressed and braided, and they were tapping when walking.

As expected, the saying of knowing oneself and being an enemy is the truth. Next time, you have to do some business investigation. You can't be deceived by this guy Handan Zhan...

But immediately Wei Xiang's mood improved. It's a good thing for partners to have money, a great thing.

Sitting in the gorgeous Handan mansion, looking at the high-end, elegant and high-end furniture everywhere, Wei Xiang's smile became more and more graceful, and the smile he looked at Handanzhan became more and more intimate.

Who said that the ancient people were simple in the people, and all the nobles and officials were humble and gentlemen. Let me stand up!

Handan Chan did not give him a banquet as usual, but bowed to Wei Xiang and Shi Xie and said sincerely: "This time, please help me, Handan, to avoid the disaster of extermination of the clan!"

Handan family, backyard.

Handan Zheng looked cold and dragged two Cao Zhongrong in, and put them down with a snap.

“Tie to a tree!”

After a moment, two basins of clear water poured on the bloody faces of the two prisoners, which immediately woke them up and made painful moans.

Handan Zheng looked at the two prisoners coldly: "Who asked you and others to attack and aid the people from Handan clan, said!"

The captives whined a few times, without saying a word.

Handan Zheng pulled out the dagger from his waist without hesitation. After a few seconds, two fingers fell to the ground, and a scream instantly sounded.

"Say!" Handan Zheng's eyes became colder and more severe.

At this moment, a man who seemed to be a retainer of the Handan clan suddenly walked over quickly, said a few words in Handan Zheng's ear, and put something in Handan Zheng's hands.

Handan Zheng's face changed: "This is serious? I'll go to see the sect leader now."

In the lobby, Wei Xiang looked at Handanzhan with a calm smile, and had great doubts about the words of the Handan Sect Master.

Shi Xie smiled and said, "The doctor in Handan is so serious. I came here this time just to help. I would like to ask the doctor to come with it."

Handan Chan nodded and said, "To be honest, according to the spies from our Handan clan, the Chidi tribes have gathered troops in the northern part of Shangdang County, and they may soon go east to attack Handan."

Shi Xie said oh, and asked, "I wonder how many people Chi Di has this time?"

Handanzhan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "At least 20,000 people!"

There was silence in the lobby.

Shi Xie was obviously shocked, and after a while, he said, "So how many soldiers can the Handan clan gather now?"

Handanzhan showed a wry smile: "Not two thousand!"
