1, original text

Qin encircles Zhao Handan. Wei Anli ordered the general to save Zhao, afraid of Qin, and stopped in the dark. Wang Wei sent a guest to send Xin to Handan. Because Ping Yuanjun called Zhao Wang, he said, "The reason why Qin was so eager to encircle Zhao, and before that, he was proclaimed emperor with Wang Dou, and now he has resumed the name of emperor.

Now, King Qi Min has become weak, and Brother Qin is the only one in the world. This is not necessarily greed for Handan, but that he wants to be an emperor. Zhao Chengfa made Qin Zhao emperor, and Qin Bixi withdrew. "

2. Translation

Qin Jun besieged Handan, the capital of Zhao. Wei Anli sent a general to save Zhao, but he was afraid that Dangyin, who was stationed at the border of Wei and Zhao, did not dare to move forward. Wang Wei sent another guest general, Xin, to sneak into the city of Handan, and said to the king of Zhao, "The reason for stepping up the siege of Handan is that it once fought for power and profit with the king of Qi, and later the king of Qi removed the name of the emperor.

Now, King Qi Min has been weakened. At present, only the state of Qin dominates the world, and there is no need to use troops to seize Handan. His intention is to proclaim himself emperor again. If Zhao Guozhen sends an envoy to honor Qin Zhao as emperor, the king of Qin will be very happy and will withdraw and leave. "

Zhao's Crisis and Countermeasures

Zhao crisis

Zhao needs to concentrate on fighting Qin. To this end, Zhao mobilized the national forces and strengthened the fortifications of Handan City. At the same time, Zhao also asked Qi, Wei and other countries for reinforcements, hoping to use external forces to confront. These measures have effectively curbed Qin Jun's attack and won valuable time for defending Handan.

Zhao Guo's response

Zhao also needs to solve domestic contradictions and crises. Around Handan, Zhao was divided and turbulent. In order to stabilize the domestic situation, Zhao took a series of measures, including pardoning criminals, reducing taxes and distributing relief supplies. These measures effectively eased social contradictions, stabilized people's hearts and provided strong support for the anti-Qin struggle.
