At that time, King Hui of Wei and Wei Hui were competing for the throne. South Korea and Zhao State added insult to injury and defeated the Wei army in Zhuoze.
After that, the State of Zhao wanted to get rid of King Hui of Wei, establish the prince Xian, and let the State of Wei cede the land to the two countries.
South Korea did not agree to kill King Hui, but advocated dividing Wei into two countries. Because South Korea was weak, the benefits from killing King Hui would be much less than those of Zhao.
And by dividing the Wei state into two, the national power will be greatly weakened and it will no longer pose a threat to South Korea and Zhao, which is most beneficial to South Korea.
The two countries failed to reach an agreement, and South Korea was unhappy and ran away overnight.
After South Korea ran away, Zhao Guo ran away when he saw that there was nothing he could do.
We cannot say that Zhao and South Korea are immoral, because Wei was the first to be immoral. When the Zhao Dynasty rebelled, Wei Wuhou wanted to control the Zhao Dynasty and support the Zhao Dynasty to attack Handan, but it ended in failure.
After Han and Zhao ran away, King Wei Hui and Wei Xu fought against each other. In the end, King Wei Hui won and the Hedong Army loyal to Wei Xu was annihilated by Wei Wuzu.
However, this incident did not devastate the Wei State. As a veteran power in the Warring States Period, the Wei State defeated the Korean Army in Maling and the Zhao Army in Huaiyi in the second year, avenging last year's revenge.
From then on, the three Jin Dynasties, who seemed to be inseparable but seemed to be inseparable, became more and more secretive.
Tian Dan suddenly realized that he had previously wondered where Jiang Qi's martial arts warriors had been inherited by Tian Qi. Where were Jin's army souls? Zhao did not have them, nor did Wei or South Korea.
As for the Jin State not having a military spirit corps, that is impossible. Except for the Yan State, which has been invisible in the northeast for hundreds of years and has no sense of existence except during the period of King Yan Zhao, other Chu, Qin, and Qi states have military spirit corps.
It has been passed down that it is impossible for the Jin State to be more powerful than other countries.
"It's a pity that the Three Jins are the Three Jins, and the Jin State is the Jin State. The two have been completely separated. If it is like the Qi State, except for the change of kings, everything else is the same. Even the country's name has not been changed. Maybe it can be borrowed
The power of the Jin State." Tian Dan felt it and realized that some forces in time and space were indeed very powerful, but they had nothing to do with the Jin State.
"The Qin army is preparing to break out." Han Fei reminded.
While the two were talking, the crossbowmen never stopped shooting for a second. The Qin army was like dominoes, falling one after another.
Despite their desperate efforts, the Qin army had no choice but to escape.
But with mountains and Han troops to the south, Hulao Pass to the east, and the Yellow River to the north, and blocked by miles of troops and baggage trains behind them, where could the Qin army go?
In desperation, some soldiers jumped into the Taotao River and swam desperately toward the other side.
"kill!"
Gongsun Yue led the Korean army to kill the baggage train at the rear of the Qin army. The thick war clouds almost crushed the Qin army's war clouds. The smooth blades reflected the sunlight and exuded endless chill.
The Qin army guarding the baggage hurriedly took off their armor and shields, but at this time the Han army had already rushed in front and mercilessly thrust their weapons into the Qin army's chest.
The Qin army responded quickly. Under the command of generals at all levels, they quickly retreated behind the baggage vehicles and used the baggage vehicles to fight with the Korean army.
"Set fire!" Gongsun Yue did not continue the pursuit, but issued an order that made the Qin army extremely angry: burn the Qin army's baggage vehicles.
This was Tian Dan's order given to him in advance. Once the Han and Qin armies fought, he would immediately rush to the Qin army's baggage vehicles and burn them, making the Qin army even more confused.
The torch soaked in grease was instantly ignited and thrown towards the baggage train.
The Qin army wanted to put out the fire, but the enemy's arrows had already fallen from the sky. The Qin army could only retreat behind the baggage vehicles and raise their shields to defend.
Since the general Zhang Tang was killed, the Qin army did not have a unified order and could only fight around their respective army commanders.
But what they faced was the most famous general in the world. Tian Dan commanded the Han army, quickly divided and defeated the Qin army, and then began to recruit surrender.
Not all Qin troops were determined. Faced with the desperate situation of being surrounded on all sides, some Qin troops soon laid down their weapons and surrendered.
"Collect their weapons, tie them up, and keep them under guard." Tian Dan stood on the hill, looking around the entire battlefield. Most of the Qin army had surrendered, and only a few elites were still resisting tenaciously, and nothing could be done.
.
However, some Qin troops still escaped. Even if they took advantage of the terrain, it would be difficult to completely retain the 50,000-strong army. Fortunately, this battle does not need to be kept secret. Qin will know it if it knows it, except for anger.
, can't do anything.
"Information says that the Qin State is borrowing troops from the Qiang people, but I don't know if they have borrowed troops." Tian Dan said, once the Qiang cavalry arrives on the battlefield, the Zhao army's only advantage may be the military spirit army.
"Qin still wants to win this battle, but it's not something that just Qiang cavalry can solve." Han Fei said with a smile.
The war has reached this level, and the Qin State has lost nearly 200,000 troops. If Qin Wangji was not old and foolish, he should have withdrawn his troops at this time to preserve the remaining strength.
Because if the war continues, Qin will have no choice but to press everything it can to bet on the victory of a war, just like in the Battle of Changping.
But in the Battle of Changping, the Qin State faced only one State of Zhao, but this time it faced the three kingdoms of Zhao, Wei, and Han, and the State of Zhao was far stronger than before.
Even if Qin lost the Battle of Changping, it would only lose a lot of manpower and material resources, and several years of hard work would be in vain, which is not unbearable.
If this battle is lost, Qin will most likely transform from a powerful country into a second-rate country, at a cost that Qin will never be able to bear.
"Do you think Qin will withdraw its troops?" Tian Dan looked at Han Fei.
"You shouldn't ask this. The general should ask, if Qin retreats, will the three Jins let Qin go?" Han Fei said.
Tian Dan immediately understood what Han Fei meant.
Qin can decide when the war starts, but it cannot decide when the war ends.
Once the Qin State withdraws its troops, the Three Jin Dynasties will never let go of this opportunity to pursue victory.
Wei Guo has been besieged for such a long time, how could he not take revenge? Moreover, Wei Guo still wants to regain Hexi.
South Korea also wants to regain Sanchuan.
Not to mention Zhao State, even if there is no benefit, as long as Qin State is abolished, that will be the greatest benefit.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Although Qin has lost a lot of troops now, it is still far from being seriously damaged.
The war has always been fought on the territory of Korea and Wei. It was Han and Wei who lost their families, their wealth was plundered, and it was also Han and Wei who were flooded.
The losses of Han and Wei were far more serious than those of Qin.
If the vitality of the Qin State cannot be severely damaged, it will take at most a few years for the new generation to grow up and form an army of hundreds of thousands.
"Send the battle report to the king and Wang Zhujun, and also send a copy to the king of Wei and Han. They must have been looking forward to it for a long time." Tian Dan said.
"Okay, what should we do next?" Han Fei asked.
"Wait. Waiting for news from you all." Tian Dan said.
…
The King of Wei finally lived a comfortable life for a few days. Previously, the Qin army attacked Daliang like crazy. Even Bai Qi, the commander-in-chief, personally joined the battle and even scaled the city wall for a time.
Zhu Hai and Li Tong tried their best to protect Wei Wuji, and the three of them worked together to repel Bai Qi.
But within a few days, the Qin army suddenly retreated to the main camp and stopped attacking fiercely. They only used catapults to hit the city every day. Everyone in the Wei state breathed a sigh of relief.
"Brother Wang, it's all thanks to you this time. Without you, our Kingdom of Wei might be gone." In the main hall, King Wei held Wei Wuji's hands tightly, pressed him on the seat, and poured him a glass of wine.
"Come here, I respect you as a brother."
"My brother respects my brother Wang." Wei Wuji quickly picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
"Brother Wang, after the Qin army is defeated, why don't you stay in Daliang. I will keep your fiefdom and mansion for you until you come back. As long as you come back, I will appoint you as the leader of our Kingdom of Wei.
As Prime Minister, I will be in charge of state affairs together with the others." King Wei said with great sincerity.
In the past, he only thought that Wei Wuji had certain abilities. After arriving in Zhao Kingdom, he realized that his younger brother was hiding so deeply.
If you can stay in the Wei State and help you govern the Wei State, the revitalization of the Wei State will be just around the corner.
"Brother Wang, Your Majesty has been very kind to me, and I cannot abandon it. When the State of Wei sent an envoy to Handan to ask for help, the State of Zhao refused. Later, I was alone with my retainers to support the State of Wei. When the King learned about it, he chased him on horseback alone.
, and then against all opinions, sent troops to support the State of Wei. I have nothing to repay. As long as the king still needs me, I will not be able to leave the State of Zhao." Wei Wuji shook his head.
This was not the first time that the King of Wei persuaded him to stay in the Kingdom of Wei. From the second day after he came back, he would do so almost every few days, and he would continue to reward him. Even his favorite jade pendant was given to Wei Wuji.
If the imperial chef cooked something delicious, King Wei would give it to Wei Wuji even if he didn't eat it himself.
He also gave Wei Wuji two concubines.
Even Wei Wuji's retainers also received rewards.
Wei Wuji could also feel that his brother was not pretending, but sincerely wanted to keep him in Wei.
But it is impossible for him to come back. King Zhao has bought him over with friendship.
Except for King Zhao, no one can let him leave the country of Zhao.
The King of Wei looked unhappy. He now regretted giving Wei Wuji to Zhao.
"Don't talk about this, don't talk about this. Let's drink." Zhou? hurriedly raised his glass.
Everyone drank it all.
"When does Lord Xinling think the Qin army will be able to retreat?" Zhou asked, putting down his wine glass.
"General Tian Dan defeated the Qin army in Huayang and killed Qin general Zhang Ruo. General Le Yi defeated Wang Lu again and broke through the Jishui defense line. After that, the Qin army stopped attacking Daliang. After losing Jishui, the Qin army's grain transportation was exhausted.
It is not easy to support a hundred thousand troops with a large increase. If nothing unexpected happens, there should be news in the next few days." Wei Wuji said with a smile.
Wei and Bai Qi are actually waiting for the outcome of the battle between Zhao and Qin. If Zhao is defeated, Wei has no choice but to seek refuge with Qin in order to preserve itself. If Zhao is defeated, Wei will naturally stand with Zhao.
Resolutely resist Qin.
At first Wei was anxious, but when Le Yi defeated Wang Lu, Bai Qi became anxious. When Le Yi defeated Wang Lu again and Zhang Ruo was killed by Tian Dan, Wei Wuji was no longer anxious at all. Now he is anxious
It will only be the Qin army.
"By the way, I heard the news that Qi and Yan have declared war on Zhao, and Zhao and Chu are attacking Qi." King Wei said.
"My brother has also received a message from the king." Wei Wuji nodded. He got the news earlier than Wei Guo.
"Will Zhao Guo retreat because of this?" King Wei asked worriedly.
"Report, Your Majesty, Lord Xinling, I hope you will report urgently." At this time, a guard walked in quickly from outside and said with clasped fists.
"Send it up." King Wei said.
The guards handed the letters to King Wei and Wei Wuji respectively.
"Bai Qi actually left a hundred thousand troops to support Xingyang and almost flooded Zhao's army. As expected of Lord Wu An, he even deceived me. Fortunately, Jia Yan found out in time. Bai Qi was so cruel that he dared to break the dike of Xingze.
"Wei Wuji opened the letter and looked at it. He stood up suddenly and said in shock.
Le Yi did not mention Jia Yan's talent in the letter, but said that Jia Yan discovered something was wrong, but it was too late to prevent the Qin army from breaching the embankment.
"Brother Wang, please immediately order disaster relief and help the victims." Wei Wuji said with his fists clasped.
"The Qin army outside the city?" King Wei asked worriedly.
"Daliang has been besieged for such a long time, this battle should be over." Wei Wuji said in a deep voice.
Without Bai Qi, the Qin army dared to pretend to be a big-tailed wolf outside the city and surrounded Daliang for so long. If he couldn't leave a profound lesson to the Qin army, then he was not Wei Wuji.
"Jin Bi, Zhang Yan, Xin Yuan Yan, assemble the army and prepare for war." Wei Wuji said loudly, got up and walked out of the palace.
Jin Bi, Zhang Yan, and Xin Yuanyan looked at King Wei. King Wei nodded slightly, and the three of them quickly stood up and followed Wei Wuji.
"Mr. Xinling, how many troops should we send?" Jin Bi asked.
"All." Wei Wuji spit out two words.
The Qin army doesn't even have a general, so why does Wei dare not fight?
"Nuo." When Jin Bi and the other three heard this, they immediately felt full of strength. Being besieged for so long, they had already suppressed a surge of anger in their hearts.
…
At this time, Wei Ran, the Marquis of Rang, was sitting in the camp of the Qin army commander, holding a book in his hand. This was what a businessman saw and heard on his way to the Western Regions. King Qin Ji ordered someone to record it, compile it into a book, and put it in the book.
In the library.
Wei Ran was very interested in these and often chatted with these businessmen when he was in Xianyang.
If it weren't for his age, Wei Ran himself would want to visit those places.
After Qin Wangji knew about it, he would send someone to Wei Ran every time he had new books sorted out.
In addition to not granting Wei Ran any more fiefdom, Qin Wangji was still very good to his uncle.
"General, something bad has happened. Wei Jun... Wei Jun has left the city." At this moment, Wang Jian rushed into the camp in panic.
"The Wei army has left the city? How many people are there?" Wei Ran frowned suddenly. Did the Wei army discover something?
"I don't know. When the end of the world comes, the Wei army is still leaving the city. It must be at least tens of thousands." Wang Jian said quickly.
"Not good. Wei must have discovered that Bai Qi was not in the army and took the opportunity to attack our army." Wei Ran stood up and walked back and forth in the camp, constantly thinking about what to do now.
The most important thing now is that he doesn't know whether Bai Qi succeeded in supporting Wang Lu. If Bai Qi succeeded, then what he has to do now is to defeat the Wei army and wait for Bai Qi and reinforcements to arrive.
If Bai Qi does not succeed, what he has to do now is to withdraw his troops, withdraw immediately. Otherwise, when the Zhao army cuts off the Qin army's retreat, and the Wei army attacks from the front and back, one hundred thousand Qin soldiers will fall into a situation of eternal disaster.
You can’t go wrong with either choice.
But he hasn't received any news from Bai Qi now.
"Beat the drum and send an order to all armies to follow my general to meet the enemy." Wei Ran hesitated for a moment and then decisively ordered. He believed in Bai Qi's ability. This famous general he single-handedly promoted could continue to create miracles.
Since he chose to attack thousands of miles away, he would definitely be able to defeat Zhao Jun.
