Countless young men spontaneously rushed to the battlefield, and King Zhao frequently mobilized troops from Yan State Qi in the east and Wei South Korea in the south to fight against Qin.
Li Mu's attempt failed, and in the next month, good news flew everywhere, so many that Handan became numb in the end.
But the people of Zhao were not numb to their desire for victory. On the contrary, what they expected to hear was to conquer Hexi, advance to the western frontier, and destroy the enemy in one fell swoop.
However, Li Mu, who was praised as the best general in the world, knew very well that in terms of the method of feigning defeat, he was no match for Wang Jian, who was good at protecting himself wisely. Zhao Jun's so-called victory in every battle was simply a false victory.
The Qin army seemed to be retreating steadily and holding on to the camp, but in fact it had not lost its vitality and was quietly accumulating strength. On the contrary, the Zhao army forgot about it and ran at high speed like a wild horse that had escaped the reins.
King Zhao's continuous commendations, the unity of the entire army, and even the ignorance of Sima Shang and other generals made it impossible for Li Mu to tell the truth.
Otherwise, that kind of gap would be enough to completely collapse the morale of the Zhao people and make them irreversible!
Since then...
There is only one battle!
…
…
"The Kingdom of Zhao is in danger."
In the Purple Orchid Pavilion in Yangzhai, the capital of South Korea, Han Fei looked at the stars in the night sky with a heavy face.
"Now that Zhao has used the power of a country to take advantage of Qin's civil strife and advance vigorously, even if it cannot destroy Qin, it can still severely damage its vitality. Why is there such a danger?"
The purple girl of the Purple Orchid Pavilion came to Han Fei's side, twisting her attractive waist, and there was doubt in her voice.
Zilanxuan was originally a land of romance, but now it has become a stronghold of Quicksand.
The laws of heaven and earth are strictly enforced. The Liusha organization was founded by Han Fei by inviting like-minded people. Its purpose is to detect traitors through techniques, stop punishments through punishment, eradicate traitors, save Korea, and even enable Korea to dominate the Seven Kingdoms.
Not to mention the final ideal, at least with Han Fei's intelligence and skillful handling, Liusha has established a firm foothold in South Korea, fighting with General Ji Wuye's night organization.
But now, Han Fei is worried about Zhao's future, which seems a bit unfounded no matter how you look at it.
"No! A few days ago, an envoy came to South Korea. Ji Wuye agreed. The king has already made plans. I'm afraid there are envoys from Wei and Yan lobbying for various countries to form a coalition."
An elegant and pleasant voice sounded, and a young man as gentle as jade walked into the room. It was Zhang Liang, the grandson of Xiang Guo Kai Di.
The fifth generation of the Zhang family was the prime minister. In terms of foundation, honor and favor, in South Korea, it was comparable to the fourth generation and three princes of the Yuan family in later generations of Runan.
Without the help of the Zhang family, it would be difficult for Han Fei to compete with Ji Wuye.
Zi Nu raised her eyebrows: "Isn't the coalition very good?"
"not good!"
Zhang Liang smiled bitterly: "Because this time the coalition forces are not attacking Qin, but attacking Zhao!"
"Attack Zhao?"
Zi Nu covered her mouth: "Are they crazy?"
"We share hardships and hardships, and we share wealth and prosperity!"
Han Fei was not surprised and sighed: "In the past, the three Jin Dynasties were all forced by Qin, and Han, Wei and Zhao were still able to form an alliance. Now, Zhao suddenly shows its fangs and everyone is panicking!"
This is like the decisive battle between Qin and Zhao during the Battle of Changping. Why didn't the other five countries help Zhao?
The reason is very simple. At that time, the Zhao State was extremely powerful. If Zhao State won, it might be the one to dominate the world. Therefore, the hope of the other five countries was that the Qin and Zhao armies would both suffer losses and weaken together.
But they didn't expect that Bai Qi would be so ruthless, not only defeating the Zhao army, but also killing them all...
But precisely because of this, now, except Chu, all the countries bordering Zhao are panicking.
Diplomacy at a distance and attack at home was basically the case in all countries during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
There are no permanent allies, and there are no permanent enemies.
Are they stupid to plan to attack Zhao now?
no!
After all, Wei and Qi in the past were both the most powerful countries in the world. They were no less powerful than Qin now. To say that they were defeated was to be defeated, and then a new overlord was created. Who dares to say that if Zhao was defeated
After conquering the Qin Dynasty, will he not be able to sweep across all directions and sweep Liuhe under the command of Li Mu?
This is Mr. Wu An!
"Since South Korea is unable to get involved in such a war, and the king is bewitched by Ji Wuye, what are you going to do?"
Only then did Zi Nu understand what Han Fei was worried about. She also knew that with such a major event sweeping the world, a little carelessness could lead to the destruction of the country and the death of the family. In comparison, fighting against the night is simply child's play, and there is worry in her eyes.
Come.
"Let's look at Brother Wei Zhuang!"
The person Han Fei placed his hope on was a man with cold white hair, sharp eyes filled with hatred, desire, and the ability to see through everything.
Descendants of Guigu! Wei Zhuang!
Gai Nie inherited the vertical sword, Wei Zhuang inherited the horizontal sword, and all the changes in Korea seemed to fall into his eyes without exception.
Unfortunately, it is only limited to South Korea, the weakest country.
Zheng!
Outside the palace, the sword energy dissipated and the two figures separated.
"Xiaozhuang, you are defeated!"
Gai Nie sheathed his sword, and his cold voice echoed in the deserted streets full of murderous intent.
"Your swordsmanship was not taught by your master!"
Wei Zhuang's face was pale, and the shark-tooth sword was spinning on the ground a few feet away. He said word by word: "You betrayed the Strategist?"
"No! This is the real Zongheng!"
Gai Nie shook his head: "The sword is a small path, and the heaven and earth are the great roads. You are too master of the sword, so it is difficult to see the real heaven and earth!"
Wei Zhuang sneered: "So you came to lobby the King of Han to help Qin destroy Zhao?"
"The King of Han is cowardly and incompetent, hesitant, Ji Wuye is greedy, selfish and short-sighted, there is no need to lobby."
Gai Nie said: "Han Fei can't save South Korea, just leave with me and go to a place where you can really show your ambition!"
…
…
at the same time.
Thistle is the capital of Yan State.
"I have heard that there are many generous and tragic people in the land of Yan and Zhao, but now I am greatly disappointed when I see them!"
Li Si sighed while drinking.
"The misfortune of Prince Dan is a thing of the past. Qin destroyed his alliance in the past and is now defeated by Zhao. He has come to ask for help from me, Dayan. We should be the ones disappointed!"
The person who was in charge of the banquet was Yan Chunjun. As the younger brother of King Xi of Yan, he held great power in the Yan Kingdom and said that he was right.
But facing the Qin envoy, he did not say a word. Instead, the general Yan Yi spoke and made sarcastic remarks.
"I am from Chu, and I cannot be reused in Qin. I am not here to ask for help from Qin, but for the future of Yan!"
Li Si was not in a hurry and said with a smile: "In the past, King Zhao of Yan used Le Yi to weaken Yan's troops, defeat the strong Qi, and massacre seventy cities. However, King Hui abolished Le Yi and replaced him with plunder, and the soldiers were defeated.
,Destroy seventy cities!”
As soon as these words came out, the hall fell silent.
Later Zhuge Liang, before his debut, compared himself to Guan Zhong and Le Yi, thinking that he had Guan Zhong's talent as a minister and Le Yi's talent as a general.
Guan Zhong and Qi Qi made Duke Heng of Qi become one of the five hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period. Le Yi led Yan and the weak force of Yan almost destroyed the strong Qi.
Although Le Yi was not included in the four famous generals of the Warring States Period, it was actually because the Yan State was really weak, not as good as Qin and Zhao, not to mention that the Yan State War God was finally forced to Zhao State.
Now that Li Si mentioned it, it was undoubtedly a slap in the face.
But his next words changed everyone's expressions: "How does Le Yi compare to Wu Anjun Li Mu?"
Le Yi is no better than Li Mu. He can defeat the strong with the weak and let the powerful Qi country decline until now. If he is replaced by Li Mu, who is invincible and invincible, it will be enough to reverse the situation of all countries.
"If you have something to say, just say it!"
Yan Chunjun finally couldn't hold himself back and spoke in a deep voice.
"Now that Bai Qi is dead, Zhao has Li Mu. When he can destroy the powerful Qin, he can destroy the surrounding countries with his backhand!"
Li Sidao: "If Yan wants to survive, there is only one way: take advantage of the great war between Qin and Zhao and send troops to destroy Zhao!"
Yan Chunjun showed hesitation.
Although Zhao State has the upper hand, it seems unrealistic to say that it can really destroy the powerful Qin, right?
"Report!"
However, at this moment, a retainer hurriedly broke in and brought earth-shattering news: "Lü Buwei has left Qin!"
"presumptuous!"
Yan Chunjun's long and narrow eyes revealed a stern look. He was the most majestic person. This disciple who lost his composure was already committing a capital crime.
As for Lu Buwei's rebellion against Qin, that's not surprising. After all, the King of Qin took back power, and if Lu Buwei didn't run away, would he be waiting to die?
"Wait a minute! Where did Lu Buwei go after he left Qin?"
However, the next moment, a thought suddenly flashed through Yan Chunjun's mind and he asked.
"Your Majesty! Lu Buwei has voted for Zhao!"
The diners shouted hoarsely.
"What?"
As soon as these words came out, Yan Chunjun stood up with a loss of composure, his face turned pale.
Lu Buwei has been the prime minister of Qin for many years and is well aware of Qin's internal intelligence. If he surrenders to Zhao this time, does Qin have any chance of victory?
It’s over!
The balance in his heart was completely tilted, and Yan Chunjun suddenly shouted: "Prepare the army! Attack Zhao!"
…
…
Lu Buwei rebelled against Qin and surrendered to Zhao. The world was shocked and everyone said that Qin's power was over.
A few days later, the allied forces of Yan, Wei, and Han gathered to attack Zhao.
In less than ten days, the coalition forces were overwhelming and attacked Handan City.
