After the Thunder Leopard Army defeated Lecheng, Yingmeng did not continue to attack Daliang and chose to withdraw his troops. Wei Guo saved his country Zuo, but it is unknown how long this country can survive.
There was a quarrel in the court of Chu State over the withdrawal of troops.
"Zhao's army has been defeated, and there is no strong enemy in Daliang. How can those ragtag groups defend the city? Why should we withdraw?!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, why do you want to allow Ying Meng to withdraw his troops?"
"Alas~ It's too late to regret, it's too late to regret..."
The King of Chu looked at these clan officials who were frying the pot, with an expressionless face, "The Thunder Leopard Army was first attacked by Le Cheng, and then suffered heavy losses in the two-pronged battle. The brave general was both wise and brave, and defeated the Zhao army, but the Thunder Leopard Army was also damaged.
Very heavy.
The city of Daliang is strong and easy to defend but difficult to attack. No matter how unfavorable the Wei state is, there are still fifty or sixty thousand men who can fight. How can a heroic general use 60,000 men to attack a fortified city held by 60,000 men?"
Ji Ying fully agreed with what King Chu said, "What the King said is true. The heroic general defeated Zhao's famous general Lecheng, which can be said to show the power of Chu's army in front of the world's military strategists. As for withdrawing the troops and taking Wei by force, there is no chance of winning. In fact,
It’s a wise move.”
"Ji Ying, you coward!"
"You have worked hard to achieve nothing. If you have any reputation to speak of, don't deceive yourself and others."
Qu Pei stood up and coughed, and the noisy court fell into silence. "Well, the matter has come to an end, and there is no point in talking more. What the king said is true. Fortunately, the heroic general made a wise decision and did not delay the spring plowing. There were successive battles before.
, our country of Chu should also take a good rest and recuperate."
Li Yuan squinted his eyes and looked at Qu Pei, and said in a strange tone: "Doctor Qu is right. The more important thing now is to preside over the spring planting and not to delay the farming season. As for the merits and demerits of the heroic general, we will wait until he comes back to Shouchun."
It’s never too late.”
Qu Pei raised his hand to Li Yuan and said, "What do you mean, Lord Ling Yin? The merits and demerits of the heroic general in this battle will be decided by your Majesty."
As if some switch was turned on, all the officials in the court stopped arguing, and all said in unison: "Yes, I will wait for your Majesty's decision."
Xiong Han curled his lips and said, "I'll take care of you sooner or later."
There were no nutritious topics in this court meeting. After watching the superb or poor acting skills of the ministers, they made arrangements for various things to recuperate and then ended.
After retreating from the court, Xiong Han went to see Concubine Dongjun Yan.
"Master, thanks to Master's planning this time, Ji Ying and Yingmeng have already shown their affection for me."
The corners of Concubine Yan's mouth turned into a thrilling arc, and she said unhurriedly: "Your Majesty has only been on the throne for a short period of time, and all the tribes are powerful. Now that Ji Ying has been recruited, he is brave and fierce. Li Yuan may not be talented enough, but he is loyal to the Majesty."
Geng Geng, and also Ling Yin, the king has officially assumed power. Concubine Yan first congratulates the king."
Xiong Han humbly asked for advice, "It's still hard for me to understand. Let's forget about Ji Ying. The damage to the heroic Thunder Leopard Legion was traced back to me. Why did he suddenly fall to me?"
"In Yingmeng's view, it was these clans that had been forcing him to march, ignoring the battlefield situation and giving random orders, and the king was also coerced by them. At this time, the king defied all opinions and allowed him to withdraw from Wei, thus preserving the remaining soldiers of the legion.
He will naturally be grateful to the king."
Xiong Han went through the whole thing from beginning to end in his mind and praised loudly: "Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful! With the mage here, I can have no worries."
I originally wanted to attack the Thunder Leopard Army, but after half of it was damaged, the Thunder Leopard Army still stood on my side. It felt so comfortable~
"Your Majesty is so complimentary, Concubine Yan should do her best for your Majesty."
…
Here in Zhao State, Le Cheng returned to the country in embarrassment. Looking at the current situation, Zhao Yan really didn't know what to do with Le Cheng.
The Chu army's plan to capture Wei State did go bankrupt, but they lost more than 30,000 elite troops, which made Zhao Yan feel distressed.
"I have finally figured it out. There are just a bunch of lunatics in Chu State. The Southern Barbarians are Southern Barbarians. Is there anyone who can fight like this?"
Zhao State has sent troops, and it is obviously impossible for you to attack Wei State. Then why do you insist on catching Zhao State and giving it a bite before leaving? Is it any good for you to do so? Zhao Army lost more than 30,000 elite troops.
Your Chu country is similar, so why bother?!
Zhao Yan looked at Le Cheng, who was begging for mercy, as if he had aged ten years, and comforted him: "General, don't blame yourself too much. This brave man is not a son of a man. It is not the general's fault."
"Your Majesty, Le Cheng's crime deserves to be punished by death. Please punish me, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public."
"That's ridiculous, do you want a few people to be able to compete with a general who is good at killing people?
Well, since you plead guilty, I will demote you to three levels and allow you to perform meritorious service in the future."
Le Cheng kowtowed quickly, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Zhao Yan came down personally, helped him up, put his hands on Le Cheng's shoulders, and the two looked at each other, "General, I will attack Yan in the future, so take care of yourself."
When Le Cheng heard this, tears rolled down his eyes. He wanted to speak, but was choked with sobs and found it difficult to speak.
"I understand you."
After Zhao Yan said this, he hammered Lecheng's strong chest twice hard. Lecheng fell to the ground and burst into tears.
Zhao Yan walked back to the throne. On the map of the world standing next to him, it was shocking that the Yan Kingdom no longer existed. The three great kingdoms of Qin, Zhao, and Chu sandwiched a Wei State the size of a thumb cap, and the easternmost Qi State.
"With only the land of Yan and Zhao, it is difficult to compete with Qin and Chu for the world..."
With the end of this confusing war, from the Qin army's attack on Wei in June of the ninth year of the Qin Dynasty to the withdrawal of the Thunder Leopard Army from Wei in February of the tenth year of the Qin Dynasty, wars had been going on for nine months, and the world finally
Peace was temporarily restored.
All countries suffered damage, and the sacrifices of troops exceeded one hundred thousand, and countless amounts of money, food, salt, iron and other materials were consumed.
After experiencing tragic losses, various countries began to recuperate and wait until they had enough troops and food before starting another cycle of war.
In the past two months, Lu Yan has published "A Study on the Origin of the Princely States? Qi State Chapter" to shut up those noisy scholars; then "Chu State Chapter" also came out.
Someone in this world actually rectified the name of the Chu people?! Lu Yan was so moved by this that the people of Chu were completely moved. The name "Lu Zi" suddenly became loud and clear in the southern land.
The three families of Han, Zhao and Wei all came from the Jin Dynasty, and these three families can be directly combined in one book; as for the Yan State, the orthodox blood descendants of the Zhou Dynasty, no one will deny this, so it is easy to write.
Therefore, after the "Chu State Chapter" was written, this series of books that told people from all over the world that we are all Chinese people was basically completed, and Lu Yan settled another worry.
Now that the spring planting season has arrived, various new agricultural tools previously designed and manufactured by the Gongshu family have naturally been put into use in Qin's agricultural production. They have received a lot of praise from the people, and the Gongshu family has become famous.
As for cultivating improved seeds in experimental fields, after all, it is a long-term research process, and no results have been achieved yet.
However, just the improvement of agricultural tools has already visibly improved Qin's sowing efficiency this year. As a result, Gong Shuqiu rose to prominence and was highly praised by Ying Zheng.
There is no special news coming from other countries. Everyone is recuperating. This devastated land of China has a rare color of peace.
