However, accidents always come sooner than tomorrow.
Qin had never thought about allowing Zhao to develop stably. Lu Buwei guessed that Zhao was secretly hiding troops, so he tried every means to encourage Yan and Wei to test the strength of Zhao's army.
So, inadvertently, he told a Wei disciple who was close to Wei that Zhao was secretly training troops. Then the Wei disciple remembered it and reported it to Lord Xinling.
When Lord Xinling in Daliang received the information from Qin, his first reaction was not to believe it. He suspected that Qin was trying to drive a wedge between Zhao and Wei, trying to make them bite each other.
It's just a matter of great importance to the country. It's better to believe in the existence than in the absence of it. Therefore, Lord Xinling still sent an intermediary to Handan to explore, and finally it was confirmed that Pang Nuan was missing.
Therefore, Lord Xinling was also a little scared. Zhao State was still training its troops secretly, either to fight against Qin State or to cause trouble.
Therefore, Lord Xinling directly sent troops from Yecheng to attack Fangling and Anyang of Zhao State, but encountered strong resistance from Lian Po.
"No, is it really okay for the Wei State not to see us?" The Handan Palace rushed for hundreds of miles and went to court to discuss it all night.
Jin Yao and Gongsun Long looked at the map. Yecheng was just across the water from Handan, but they suddenly attacked Fangling and Anyang. This was tantamount to forcing Handan to conquer.
"He is Lord Xinling after all!" Gongsun Long sighed.
After the Qin State broke through the alliance of Lord Xinling, it occupied Guanyi. After the alliance army returned to aid, the Qin State reconciled with other countries, and the Qin army withdrew from Guanyi. However, Guanyi, which was clearly a Korean acropolis, was always under the control of Wei. In the hands, it is a direct threat to South Korea.
Later, relying on its position as the leader of the alliance, the Wei State also bullied Han and Zhao, and seized many cities from Han and Zhao. How could it be possible for the State of Wei to sit back and watch Zhao's reforms now?
Therefore, Lord Xinling's idea was very simple, just like controlling Xinzheng, he used Yecheng to control Handan, so that both Han and Zhao would obey the words of Wei.
"Now that he has taken action, it is unreasonable for us not to fight back. He wants Fangling, Anyang, and Yecheng!" Jin Yao said coldly while looking at the map.
Yecheng was the most prosperous city in the Wei Kingdom after Daliang. After Ximen Bao governed it, it became even more prosperous than Daliang.
"Send the order to the general, hold on for ten days, and attack Yecheng in person!" Jin Yao ordered.
"This... Your Majesty, think twice!" Gongsun Long hurriedly tried to dissuade him.
Yecheng is different from other cities. Once Zhao State captures Yecheng, it will really fight to the death with Wei State. It is impossible for Wei State to give up a city like Yecheng.
The status of Yecheng is equivalent to that of a magical city in later generations. It cannot be occupied by others. Once it is occupied, it will be an endless struggle.
"Think twice, he dared to start a war without declaring it, why can't he fight back?" Jin Yao ignored it and directly ordered the deployment of troops.
"Alas!" Seeing that he could not dissuade him, Gongsun Long could only help collect food, grass and baggage and escort them to the front line.
As a result, the world, which had been peaceful for three years, once again fell into a turbulent war. No one expected that Zhao Wei would start a war at this time.
In this battle, Zhao State mobilized 50,000 troops to attack Yecheng, while Wei State sent 30,000 troops to attack Zhao State's Fangling and Anyang.
However, no one expected that the small-intensity war between the two countries, which was originally just a local friction, turned into a large-scale melee because of Yecheng.
"Zhao Guo is crazy!" Lord Xinling looked at the information in his hand. He never expected that Jin Yao would be so bold and personally lead an army to attack Yecheng.
As a result, the initiative in the war also shifted from Wei to Zhao. It was no longer up to Wei to decide whether to fight or make peace.
In order to defend Yecheng, Wei State could only mobilize troops from various places to Yecheng. Then the increase in troops made Zhao State think that Wei State wanted to attack Handan, so it also increased its troops again and surrounded Yecheng for a while.
The total military strength directly exceeded 300,000.
Lord Xinling was also sent to Yecheng by King Xi of Wei to preside over the war.
"What on earth do the emperor want to do!" Under Ye City, across the water, Lord Xinling asked angrily as he looked at Jin Yao under the banner.
"Gu Ye wants to ask Wei Wuji what you want to do!" Jin Yao asked coldly.
「
It was your Wei State that first tore up the alliance and attacked our Zhao State, and now you want to ask Gu Yi what you want to do. Do you really think that your Wei State is still the same Wei State as before?" Jin Yao said in a cold voice.
"You retreat, I will withdraw the army in Fangling and Anyang, and return to the past!" Lord Xinling finally compromised.
"It's a joke, in our Zhao country, you can come when you want and leave when you want? When you come, you can stay alone!" Jin Yao disagreed with Lord Xinling's suggestion.
"The emperor really wants Zhao and Wei to become enemies and fight each other to the death?" Lord Xinling was really helpless. Zhao Wei's biggest enemy is Qin. If we start a war now, it will only make Qin laugh out loud.
"Then we can't reach an agreement, so there's nothing left to say!" Jin Yao ignored Lord Xinling's words and left the front line directly, preparing to cross the river and attack the city.
"You..." Lord Xinling was exhausted, but there was nothing he could do.
Zhao Wei eventually launched a war around the Zhang River, a tributary of the Yellow River.
"This is more or less a personal grudge!" The countries watching the excitement shook their heads.
If it were another King Zhao, he might have agreed to Lord Xinling's suggestion and stopped fighting and made peace.
But Jin Yao, Lord Xinling, and King Wei have a grudge against killing their father and exterminating their clan. It is obviously impossible for Jin Yao to take a step back!
The first diplomat, Guo Kai, once again received the mission.
"As an envoy to South Korea, I went to see Han Wangan, Ji Wuye and Bai Yifei, and told them that the Wei State army has been restrained by our Zhao State. If Xinzheng does not want to be held hostage by the Wei State again, then send troops to attack Guanyi and take back the Guan Dynasty occupied by the Wei State.
The area around Yi!" Jin Yao looked at Guo Kai and said.
He believed that Guo Kai's ability could definitely persuade South Korea to send troops to attack Wei.
"Open, you will definitely live up to your fate!" Guo Kai nodded, he didn't believe that Jin Yao started the fight with Wei out of motivation.
"What does the king want to do?" Gongsun Long couldn't understand what Jin Yao wanted to do.
It's not time for Zhao Wei to start a war yet, Jin Yao couldn't possibly not know.
"The State of Wei is now powerful and is the nominal leader of the Three Jin Dynasties. Therefore, in the territory of our State of Zhao, the mentality of all the ministers is also in the wrong position. They are timid towards the State of Wei and ask for and receive everything. If this continues, even if
Once the new army is trained, we will definitely be able to capture Wei?" Jin Yao looked at Gongsun Long and asked.
They will unify the three Jins in the future, but now Zhao State has a tendency to regard Wei State as its suzerain state. Therefore, this battle must be fought. Even if they do not win, they are not defeated, but they want to tell all the people of Zhao State
, Zhao State is not a subordinate of Wei State and does not need to bow to Wei State!
"That's it!" Gongsun Long understood that war was just an extension of politics. The purpose of this war was not Ye City, nor the land of Wei, but to break the long-standing subordination between Zhao and Wei and establish the Zhao people's
