The armies of Zhao and Wei were huge in number and looked intimidating, but not many actually participated in the battle. Both sides were restrained and did not engage in a decisive battle.
"Tch~ I have taken off my pants, you want me to see this?" Lu Buwei of Qin State was very depressed. He thought he could really provoke a war between Zhao and Wei, but who knew it would be such an anticlimax.
"He is suppressing the hegemony of Wei State. After the merger, Wei State was in the limelight for a while. Therefore, if Zhao State wants to reverse this situation, it must set its own attitude so that Wei State can no longer interfere with Zhao State's affairs.
, so as not to become the next South Korea!" Ying Zheng saw Jin Yao's intention.
"The king really guessed it right!" Lu Buwei looked at the latest military information in his hand.
South Korea sent troops. Generals Ji Wuye and Xueyihou Bai Yifei led 50,000 troops, attacked Guanyi, recaptured all the Guanyi area, and drove the Wei soldiers out of Xinzheng, a hundred miles away.
The influence brought by the alliance was instantly weakened to the limit due to this battle, and Wei could no longer control Han and Zhao.
Ying Zheng also saw the intelligence. This brother is really comprehensive. I really don’t know if Qin will really be Zhao’s opponent in the future.
Zhao, Wei, and Chen attacked Zhanghe, but it was not a problem after all. Jin Yao got the result he wanted and had plans to withdraw his troops, but at this time no one could easily withdraw from the battlefield.
So Chu came forward, and King Chu sent envoys to Zhao and Wei respectively to persuade both sides to stop fighting and make peace, and to give both sides a step down, telling Zhao and Wei that their enemy was always Qin.
"Tell King Wei and Lord Xinling that if they want to withdraw, they will withdraw first. Gu Duan will not withdraw first. Also, Wei must be responsible for the cost of this battle. Who asked them to start it in the first place!" Jin Yao looked at Chu
The envoy said calmly.
The Chu State envoy had no choice but to go to see Lord Xinling again.
"We, the Wei State, were asked to withdraw their troops and we were asked to compensate for the war losses. Why didn't he say that he would give Yecheng to him?" Lord Xinling was furious. When had the Wei State ever suffered such humiliation?
"If we still can't reach an agreement, let's continue. Anyway, Handan is right behind us, and the supply line is short, and our Zhao country can afford it.
And Wei Wuji, go and ask your generals, whether Neihuang, Dangyin, and Zhongmu are still there?" Jin Yao said calmly as he looked at Lord Xinling at the negotiating table.
As early as before the war, he asked Le Cheng to lead troops to attack the three cities of Neihuang, Dangyin and Zhongmou in Wei State, and did not waste time with Lord Xinling at the foot of Ye City.
The State of Zhao did not dare to attack Yecheng. Similarly, the State of Wei dared to attack Handan?
Therefore, Jinyao's real target has never been Ye City, but the cities of the Wei State on the Zhang River. Without the natural danger of the Zhang River, Zhao State will be able to go south to attack Wei at any time in the future.
"You!" Wei Wuji's heart trembled. The role of Yecheng was a sharp blade hanging over the head of Zhao State, and the Zhanghe River was Zhao Wei's shield to prevent the other party from suddenly sending troops.
But now, his eyes are focused on Ye City, so he has mobilized soldiers from other cities on the Zhang River, making the defenses of other cities weak. If Zhao really takes the opportunity to attack these cities, I am afraid they will also be very vulnerable.
Hard to hold on to.
So the second He Tan broke up on bad terms again.
Wei Wuji hurried back to Yecheng and hurriedly ordered people to check the defense situation of the cities in Zhanghe River.
"Not long ago, Zhongmou and Dangyin fell. Zhao General Lecheng led an army of 50,000 and attacked the two cities!" In the end, the information was sent back to Yecheng, but there was no information from the direction of Neihuang.
"Shuzi!" Lord Xinling was so angry that he threw down the exquisite utensils in his hand.
"If I weren't afraid of pissing him off, I would have wanted to take Gongcheng directly, cut off the connection between Wei and the main city in the west, and swallow up all the cities in the west of Wei!" Jin Yao said with a smile to the Chu envoy.
Le Cheng, who had already returned to the camp, rolled his eyes. Isn't that what you don't want to win? Isn't it because the road from Zhongmu to Gongcheng is rugged, and Gongcheng is surrounded by mountains, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack. Otherwise, you
Will you fight?
"Retreat the troops, return the city, we, the Wei State, admit defeat!" Finally, after contacting and discussing with King Xi of Wei, Lord Xinling agreed to Jin Yao's previous price, agreed to withdraw the troops first, and pay war compensation.
"It is okay to withdraw the troops, but the city will not be returned!" Jin Yao was also very decisive. It was different before and now. Now that they hold Zhongmu and Dangyin, it is not the same condition.
"The State of Wei ceded the three cities of Xu, Gaodu, and Tianmen in exchange for Zhongmou and Dangyin!" Lord Xinling knew that Jin Yao would not agree to return the city to stop his troops, so he was already prepared to be slaughtered before he came.
The three western cities were ceded to Zhao in exchange for Zhongmu and Dangyin on the Zhang River.
"Do you think I'm stupid?" Jin Yao rolled his eyes and went to see the Xun family, the location of Gaodu and Tianmen. It was a sinkhole, lying next to Qin State's Shangdang. Zhao Guoyou only went to take over it when he was sick.
Those three cities faced Qin.
Especially the Changping next to the Yun family, that is the eternal pain of the Zhao State. How could it be possible to retrieve the Yun family again and recall the blood feud with the Qin State.
"Negotiations must be carried out with a negotiating attitude. If you want to get back Zhongmu, you can do it in Dangyin. You can exchange it for Yin'an, Pingyi, and Xue Ling!" Jin Yao spoke again. This was what they had planned before they came.
These three cities are also quite wealthy cities in the Wei State. Although they are not as good as Ye City, they are still richer than ordinary cities, but strategically they are not as high as Zhongmu and Dangyin.
Lord Xinling also brought the map. Looking carefully, among the three cities, Xue Ling was the most important. It was originally a rich land of Qi State, but after the merger, Wei State regarded Qi State as sitting on a mountain and watching tigers fight.
Therefore, he attacked and occupied Maling and Xue Ling, and regained the land occupied by Qi.
In the end, Wei and Zhao stopped fighting and made peace. As for the price Wei paid, Wei avoided talking about it, but Zhao showed it off.
Wei failed to seize the city, but was forced to cede Yin'an, Pingyi and Xue Ling. The army withdrew from the Yecheng battlefield and returned to Daliang.
This battle also severely damaged the prestige that Wei had finally regained, and the three Jin states returned to their old dog-eat-dog status, with no one able to interfere with anyone else.
"Zhao's new army still hasn't appeared!" Lord Xinling returned to Daliang and went directly to see King Wei.
It's not that they don't want to start a war with Zhao State, and they are also capable of killing Zhao State, which has experienced many wars, but what they are afraid of is Zhao State's unknown 100,000 new troops, not the 100,000 people who were temporarily put together under Ye City.
Fifty thousand old, weak, sick and disabled.
"Are you sure it's true?" Wei Wangxi frowned.
"It should really exist, otherwise Zhao State would not dare to do this!" Lord Xinling analyzed that losing the soldiers of three cities is nothing, after all, it is not a strategically important place.
King Wei nodded. If Zhao really had 100,000 new troops, then they would have to re-examine Zhao, or think of some way to provoke Qin and Zhao to war again.
Only in this way can the dogs of Qin and Zhao bite each other and consume the new strength of Zhao.
How many people who play politics are really naive? Who doesn’t have a 800-year-old mind?
