The sand dunes were once the place where the First Emperor died of illness. After many years, a large army was advancing west again. The army had more than 30,000 people, 20,000 of which were wearing blue battle robes and holding the flag of Qi. The general was Tian Jie. He was ordered by King Tian Rong of Qi and led his troops to assist Chen Yu in attacking Zhang Er and regaining the hometown of Zhao.

On the other side of the team, Chen Yu also led nearly 10,000 troops from Nanpi, Qing and Jing counties to meet with Tian Jie in Guanjin, and hurried westward. While Zhang Er was not prepared, he took down Xindu in one go and destroyed Zhang Er's regime.

This was also Chen Yu's plan for a long time, but there was a hurdle that Chen Yu could never overcome. He could not proclaim himself king after defeating Zhang Er. In this way, he would lose the support of the Zhao people and betray his relatives and relatives. After a psychological struggle, Chen Yu finally decided to support Zhao Xie as King of Zhao and consolidate the foundation of Zhao State. This was also the capital proposed by Chen Yu during the negotiations with Tian Rong. If it were not for the reason that Zhao Xie had been welcomed, Tian Rong would not have easily agreed to lend him troops.

At this time, the army had traveled a distance, and there were thirty miles to be the Julu. Chen Yu immediately thought for a moment, and he turned to look at a deputy general Ling and said, "You lead the team, I'll go to Hotan to discuss some things."

After Chen Yu finished his explanation, he hurried towards the Qi team with dozens of personal soldiers.

The vanguard of Qi was less than ten miles away from Julu. According to spies, there were more than 2,000 defenders in Julu. Li Min was drunk and did not care much about Julu's defense. At this time, Tian Jie's central army was five miles behind the vanguard. Chen Yu arrived near Tian Jie's central army when his personal soldiers rushed for a cup of tea.

Soon, Chen Yu found Tian Jie in the team. He rode his horse for a while and came to Tian Jie's side. Chen Yu immediately bowed and said, "General Tian, ​​thank you for your hard work this trip north."

Tian Jie turned around and saw that it was Chen Yu. He couldn't help but bow and smile and said, "Why do you have to do it after your order?"

The two of them exchanged greetings and spoke several times, and Tian Jie pulled the topic back to the war. He looked at the army still moving ahead and smiled brightly, "I have sent someone to find out the situation of Julu. I wonder if General Chen Yu can guess who the guard is?"

"Zhang Er's husband does not know the military, I don't expect that he may be able to send a general to guard the city. In the battle of Julu, I am fully sure to take the city." Chen Yu sneered. Seeing that Chen Yu was exactly what he expected, Tian Jie smiled brightly and said: "That's true. I have discovered that the general of Julu is named Li Min, who is addicted to drinking and is not very concerned about Julu's defense. After a while, I will attack the city with all my might and strive to win the city in one battle."

After saying that, Tian Jie smiled self-deprecatingly again: "There are only two thousand defenders in Julu City, which is really ridiculous."

Two thousand defenders? Chen Yu was stunned. This was an important barrier to Zhang Er. Without Julu, the enemy could drive straight in and directly reach Xindu. What other advantages could he have to defend Xindu? It can be seen that Zhang Er’s judgment of military aircraft was so serious. Just when Chen Yu sighed in his heart that Zhang Er was not aware of the depth, a cavalry rushed from the front and bowed: "General, our vanguard troops have arrived at Julu City. Have you attacked the city?"

"Send the order and attack the city with all your might."

Tian Jie issued a military order, then looked at Chen Yu, and said, "Our army will accelerate forward. Please don't fall behind. See you at Julu."

Chen Yu smiled and bowed: "I'll go back now to urge the army to move faster."

...

At this time, a beacon smoke was ignited in Julu City. A group of soldiers waved their long spears and poked violently under the city. The corvee was temporarily recruited to the top of the city to defend against the enemy. They threw the wooden thunderstones under their hands, but were soon ruthlessly killed by the feather arrows shot up by the enemy. The war was extremely fierce, with drums and trumpets resounding like the roar of giant beasts.

The Qi army's siege was also very fierce, with nearly a hundred ladders and three thousand vanguards climbing up desperately. They waved their bronze swords and long spears to fight with the defenders on the top of the city. Although the occasional rolling wood, thunderstones fell, this did not stop them from moving forward.

In the wilderness south of Julu, more than 20,000 coalition forces were deployed here. Under the Central Army's banner, Tian Jie and Chen Yu stood side by side. They all looked at Julu not far away. Although there were not many defenders and the generals were not all-round, the richness and solidity that Julu itself had was something that the Qi army could not cross for a while.

Moreover, there was a fierce attack from Qin general Zhang Han, but it had not been conquered for several months. In the end, Zhang Han was defeated by Xiang Yu. It is conceivable that if Julu defended with heavy troops, it would not be possible to break through overnight.

Tian Jie felt that he looked down on Zhang Er a little. It seemed that Zhang Er had no need to guard Julu with heavy troops. Just as Tian Jie was secretly thinking about asking for help, Chen Yu shouted: "Xia said, bring three thousand people with me and assist Julu!"

A general flashed out from the side. He was Xia Shuo and Chen Yu's deputy general. At this time, he received Chen Yu's general order. Xia Shuo turned around and ordered three thousand soldiers, then took the lead and led the team straight to Julu.

The war drums were beaten in the coalition formation again, and the drums were louder and louder, helping Chen Yu's army. At this time, there was another pillar of beacon on the Julu City Tower, from the original two pillars to three pillars. This was an urgent beacon smoke, indicating that Julu City was in a hurry, which made Chen Yu, who was watching the battle not far away, realize that Julu could not hold on.

Zhang Er's letter was still more than fifty miles away from here. It was impossible for him to rush to help Julu. Chen Yu, who was sure to win, strode onto the chariot and beat the war drum with the drumsticks himself. The soldiers shouted loudly in the coalition formation. The soldiers who were still struggling to attack the city in front heard the cheers from the rear. Their offensive was stronger. Nearly fifty people resisted the slogans and rushed to Julu City. They shouted the slogan "One, Two, Crash". Then the slogans hit the wood and suddenly crashed into the city gate. The city gate trembled slightly after being hit, but then, the second and third impacts were launched again.

The impact lasted for a stick of incense. There were feather arrows and rolling wooden thunderstones falling on the city tower. As many as a hundred people were killed or injured by the Qi army, but there were still a steady stream of Qi County soldiers rushing up, carrying the collision wood, and hitting the city gate with all their might.

"Boom" suddenly sounded loudly, and a huge gate of Julu collapsed. A soldier suddenly let go of the bumping wood. He turned around and shouted loudly at the soldiers not far away: "The city is broken, the city is broken!"

The Qi army and Chen Yu's troops shouted and cheered one after another, and rushed from the south gate of Julu from all directions. Then, the city at the east gate was captured by Qi soldiers, and group of soldiers climbed up to the city and fought hard.

The north gate and the west gate were also lost one after another. Li Min stood at the top of the city. He looked at the enemy troops coming from all over and the endless shouts of killing in the city. He finally sighed in despair, turned over and jumped off the city tower, and died tragically in the chaos.

...

After the army of Qi and Chen Yu conquered Julu, Zhang Bang An Min. Chen Yu personally summoned the rich gentry and fellow villagers in the city to explain the reason and move them with emotion. He also clearly stated that he would support Zhao Xie and to welcome Zhao Xie back and restore Zhao Kingdom. This remark received support from many people, and Julu did not experience great turmoil because of the change of ownership.

On the same day, Ren County, located in Mainland Ze and Quliang, Shannan, sent troops to reinforce Julu, but were defeated by Chen Yu's ambush and fled in panic.

Three days later, the army marched westward and headed straight to Xindu, the capital of Changshan King Zhang Er. On the way, he fought with Zhang Er's vanguard troops. Zhang Er's vanguard troops returned in a crushing defeat, causing Zhang Er to withdraw his troops and return to Xindu, guard against the death to defend, recruit civilians to guard the city and resist the coalition forces of Qi and Chen Yu.

Afterwards, the coalition troops arrived at the city of Xindu and built camps along the Shahe line. Chen Yu recruited troops from the name of Zhao Xie in the surrounding county town. For a time, countless people came to join the army. The number of coalition troops soared to more than 50,000, and surrounded Xindu. Zhang Er issued letters several times, scolding the surrounding county towns for sending troops to aid, but were all intercepted by the coalition troops, which made Zhang Ergu City defend the city and had to fight hard and no retreat.

The huge siege battle lasted for two days. Zhang Er's defenders lost from more than 30,000 people to more than 20,000 people today. The casualties and injuries were extremely heavy, and the walls were already in ruins. The city gate was almost broken by the Qi army several times. If Zhang Er had not temporarily allocated troops to reinforce and used a log to support the city gate, Xin would have already failed.

It was late the next night, and Zhang Er had no intention of sleeping. He brought dozens of personal soldiers to the city to inspect the city defense. The soldiers were killed and injured. The city was covered with undry blood and seriously injured soldiers. Zhang Er felt extremely sad.

I thought that after the tyrannical Qin was overthrown, the Zhao people could finally escape the sea of ​​suffering. Even if the Yan army and the Liaodong army in the north fought hard, Zhang Er had never participated in the war. He wanted the State of Zhao to rest and recuperate. He wanted the people to live a good life again, but Chen Yu forced him and brought Zhao Xie out again, which made Zhang Er realize that war was inevitable.

But Zhang Er was unable to mobilize troops from all over the country to help. He was very worried. If this continued, sooner or later, the letter would be lost. Just when Zhang Er was extremely worried, a cry of killing suddenly sounded from a distance. Zhang Er was awakened from the thoughts by this inexplicable cry of killing. He looked at him intently. A general rushed over and pointed to Beicheng and said, "Big...Big... King, there was a sudden enemy attack in the north city. The offensive was very fierce. We... could not defend it anymore!"

This sentence made Zhang Er extremely desperate. He immediately turned around and ordered: "Hurry up, organize troops to rush to the north city!"

If the war in North City has turned upside down, then the soldiers and horses that Chen Yu ambushed in South City are the death talisman of Changshan Kingdom. Just when Zhang Er focused on North City, Chen Yu's soldiers and horses that had been ambushing for a long time suddenly came out, with cloud ladders and wood hitting, and all kinds of methods were used. Xindu's last line of defense finally collapsed.

In the second half of the night, just before Xindu lost his life, Zhang Er hurriedly fled from Ximen with three thousand cavalry and broke through the defense line of Qi. He fled along the mountain road. Since then, Changshan Kingdom has been overthrown by Chen Yu.

...

Chen Yu entered the palace and ordered the soldiers to destroy the palace. Zhang Bang An Min, telling the public that Zhang Er was not a minister and had fled for fear of crime. The people of Zhao State should regard Zhao Xie, a descendant of Zhao State, as king, and ordered Xia to say to go to welcome Zhao Xie.

Afterwards, Chen Yu surrendered Zhang Eryu's troops and marched towards Handan. On the way, Chen Yu thanked Tian Jie for his help and told him that he would keep his promise, and Tian Jie led his army to leave.

In Handan City, the palace had been rested again. Soon, Zhao Xie returned with Xia Shuo's company and entered the palace. Zhao Xie comforted him and came back again. He named Chen Yu the King of Dai. Chen Yu was inconvenient to leave because Zhao was in peace and was inconvenient to leave. He ordered Xia Shuo to be the Prime Minister of Dai to handle affairs. He still stayed in Handan to assist Zhao Xie. Chen Yu recalled that Tian Rong developed the iron sword. He had also seen the Chu army use the iron sword. It was indeed very powerful, especially the light armor worn by the elite Chu army was even more powerful. He ordered Zhang Tong to lead the craftsman thirty and a thousand taels of gold to Qi to seek the secret technique of smelting iron.
