"The army of the Qin State came here to save the lives of the people. A foolish king like Zhao Dan was debauched, arrogant, and planned to murder Ma Fujun. He was confused and lazy, killed the people of Zhao State by freezing, harmed the people, was arrogant, cruel, and self-righteous.
, gave up the legal system of the Holy King, slandered the previous king, rejected the law, could not obey God's will, could not care for the people, did not stop expropriating, made excessive demands, killed innocent people indiscriminately, and rewarded inappropriately!!!"
"People like this are the ones God wants to kill. They are the common enemies of Zhao and Qin people. They are not worthy of being the king! We come here with Ma Fujun's belief to kill villains like Zhao Dan.
, get rid of the enemies of the Zhao people... The Qin people are a benevolent and righteous army. They will never kill innocent people indiscriminately or burn down people's houses. We will reduce your taxes and we will protect you..."
This was the message issued by the State of Qin. Through the spies in Zhao, these messages quickly spread to many cities in the northwest of Zhao State. The Qin people secretly posted these messages on the walls in the form of leaflets.
They were distributed to the people of the State of Zhao. The officials of the State of Zhao hurriedly sent people to tear up these proclamations and searched the city. Anyone who hid the leaflets privately or spread the relevant content would be executed.
After Meng Ao led Qin's army to capture Zhao's city, he also followed the new policy and neither killed people nor destroyed local residences and cultivated land.
The grain accumulated in the city was distributed to the people, and under the banner of Lord Ma Fu, he promised to reduce their taxes and distribute land to the people who had no farmland. The officials of Qin hurriedly began propaganda work in the occupied areas.
They want the Zhao people to know that they are here to save the Zhao people and let them live a better life.
After Meng Ao informed the prisoners of Qin's policy, he released the prisoners. Qin's changes surprised the Zhao people. Qin's army was still as old-fashioned, serious and unsmiling as usual, but they did
They stopped killing people... Not only did they not plunder their food, but they even gave them food... So has such a policy had any results? Of course it has. After Meng Ao opened warehouses along the road to release food and appease the people,
He encountered no more resistance.
In less than two months, Meng Ao successively captured forty cities including Jinyang, Taiyuan, Yuci, Xincheng, and Langmeng. He quickly deployed a defense line in Yangyi and successfully blocked the attack.
Lian Po's army came to the rescue.
Lian Po had no idea that the Qin people were advancing so quickly. By the time he arrived to rescue, the northwest of Zhao had been completely occupied. Lian Po had no choice but to attack Yangyi. The battlefield suddenly turned into a formidable battle.
In the Zhao State's own territory, the Qin State has become the dominant defender. Siege warfare has never been easy, because the siege party needs to have far more manpower, food, and siege equipment than the defenders.
It is possible to capture these cities.
Meng Ao probably understood this. He was indeed very good at siege warfare. In terms of marching speed, no one in Qin could match him. When Lord Wu An was still there, he often arranged for Meng Ao to carry out surprise attacks, or
Involving the enemy. Meng Ao is not very good at large-scale legion operations, but he has unique talents in sieges and raids. Especially when there is no resistance from the people, his raid ability is brought into full play.
The army commanded by Lian Po was not as large as Lian Po's, and whether it was food or siege equipment, Zhao State was not as good as Qin State, especially in terms of morale. Naturally, the soldiers of Zhao State also saw this.
That appeal made Zhao Jun's already low morale suffer another blow...Lian Po looked at the tall Yangyi in front of him, but he had a headache. He did not have enough manpower to attack the city.
Lian Po could not ignore this city. He knew that if he bypassed the city to attack Jinyang and other places, the garrison here would definitely cut off his own roads and surround himself in the mountains around Jinyang. Then he would
It was going to be dangerous. Just when Lian Po was thinking about the strategy against the enemy, King Zhao couldn't help it. He gave Lian Po several orders, asking Lian Po to quickly take back these taken away cities!
Lian Po was stationary in Yangyi. Someone told King Zhao that Lian Po had different intentions and wanted to rebel.
Although King Zhao didn't believe such nonsense, he was also very anxious. He needed a big victory to inspire the soldiers and people of Zhao.
After receiving several orders from King Zhao, Lian Po seemed a little angry. He looked at the envoy sent by King Zhao in front of him and said angrily: "I am fighting bloody battles here for the Lord, and the Lord is sitting in Handan.
In the palace, not knowing the situation ahead, they repeatedly urged me to attack the city! I had made so many contributions to the State of Zhao, and finally got the position of a lord, but the villain Zheng Anping, who lost to me, was able to follow
I am still a feudal lord, and I feel ashamed because of this matter!!"
The envoy was shocked and looked at Lian Po in front of him.
However, Lian Po waved his hand and ordered the soldiers to arrest the envoy and put him in prison.
Later, he sent one of his disciples to visit Meng Ao in the city with a letter.
Meng Ao smiled, looked at the Zhao warriors being escorted by the soldiers, and asked with a smile: "General Lian Po wants to surrender?"
The warrior nodded and said seriously: "Mr.
However, he wants you to promise that you will not harm the people of Zhao State. He must continue to serve as a prince in Qin State and also as a general..."
The warrior then talked about Lian Po's conditions one by one.
Meng Ao listened attentively. Suddenly, he sneered, stood up, and said to the warrior: "Lian Po is just an old man in Zhao State with no talent. If it were not because of his background, he could become a feudal lord."
Lord? For such a fool, Lord Wu An can capture him with two thousand elites. What conditions does he propose now? Go back and tell him! Lian Po should take off his clothes, carry Jingmu on his back, and kneel down
Kowtow to me in front of the city! I will accept his surrender!"
"If he doesn't do this, I will destroy his clan!"
"General! Father!", the generals sitting around Meng Ao shouted, their eyes widened, wondering why Meng Ao said that, and the warrior sent by Lian Po also died because of such an insult.
He was furious and yelled at Meng Ao, but Meng Ao drove him out. Meng Wu hurried to his father's side and said helplessly: "Father! I heard that Lian Po killed the envoy sent by King Zhao."
"After this retainer came, he also stated the conditions first. We can know that Lian Po really wants to surrender."
"Lian Po is a famous general of the Zhao State. If he can come to the Qin State, it will be beneficial to the Qin State. Why are you doing this?! Why! You are worried that he will come to the Zhao State and take away your
Position?! I want to write a letter to the king! I want to accuse you of your behavior!" Meng Wu became more and more angry as he thought about it. Lian Po has always been a serious concern of the Qin State. This old man is very capable of fighting. He is the face of Lord Wu An.
Don't dare to be careless with him.
Lord Wu An once praised Lian Po many times and believed that if he commanded the army of Qin and he commanded the army of Zhao, he would definitely not be his opponent.
Such a great talent, now wants to submit to Qin, but is so insulted by his father??
Looking at the furious Meng Wu in front of him, Meng Ao also sneered. He looked at his son and said angrily: "I also want to write a letter to the king. I hope you will never serve as a general of Qin! Otherwise, Qin will
The country must suffer a great defeat because of you!"
"What kind of person is Lian Po? Even if he is dissatisfied with the king, he will probably leave Zhao. It is absolutely impossible for him to surrender to the enemy in battle! You idiot!"
After being scolded by his father, Meng Wu gradually calmed down. He asked cautiously: "Then why did father insult him?"
"He has a strong nature and was insulted like this..." Meng Ao pondered.
When the warrior returned to Lian Po and told Lian Po truthfully what Meng Ao said, Lian Po was not angry. He laughed, shook his head, and said helplessly: "It seems that I underestimated him."
I'm sorry...Okay, you can go back, you can't tell anyone these things." The warrior nodded and left the camp.
The next day, everyone saw the irritable Lian Po. The general seemed very angry. He immediately ordered people to cut down trees and started making siege equipment. Naturally, the Qin people on the city wall also saw the busy Zhao people, who were working hard
He built siege equipment, and it seemed that he was about to start siege. This made Meng Wu very happy. He felt that his father's strategy had succeeded, and Lian Po was indeed angered.
However, Meng Ao realized something and ordered General Wang Jian to leave Yangyi with an army and deploy it in strategic positions heading to Jinyang and other important places to prepare for the enemy. And Wang Jian had just walked out of the city and was about to attack.
When they arrived at their destination, they were ambushed by Lian Po. Lian Po surrounded Wang Jian's army and began to attack fiercely. On the one hand, Wang Jian asked for help from the defenders in the city, but on the other hand, he tried his best to resist the enemy's attack.
Meng Ao left Meng Wu to defend Yangyi, and he led his army... and quickly advanced towards Wang Jian's tribe. Halfway through, Meng Ao quickly returned with his army and hid in the mountains on the left side of Yangyi.
After Meng Ao led his army and left Yangyi, sure enough, Wang Jian's pressure suddenly decreased. The real main force of the Zhao people appeared outside Yangyi City and began a fierce attack. Meng Ao suddenly led his army out from the left.
A scuffle broke out between the two sides.
Lian Po's army was originally smaller than Meng Ao's. After many divisions, the gap in strength became even more obvious. In terms of combat effectiveness, Qin also had a steady victory. In the battle between the two sides, Lian Po suddenly fell into a disadvantage. Lian Po
He commanded with all his strength, mobilized the troops to attack from the left and right, and rode in military chariots, constantly advancing towards the Qin people. With his bravery and command, he actually forced the Qin people, who were stronger than himself, to retreat continuously.
Lian Po's use of chariots has reached a superb level. He divided the chariot troops into three groups. After opening a gap on the left side, he directly cut the Qin army into three parts diagonally along the edge, and
The infantry quickly followed up and surrounded the Qin people's front army and middle army... Meng Wu on the city wall was stunned. He watched Lian Po use 30,000 troops to surround his father's 50,000 troops...
.He was about to send troops when he suddenly saw his father raising a flag and asking him to continue to hold on!
Amidst the thunderous sound of war drums, General Lian Po roared angrily, killing enemies one after another with the spear in his hand. He kept raising flags, and ordered the chariot army to continue cutting the Qin army diagonally along the right side.
, strive to divide the Qin people into smaller troops and annihilate them all! The battle situation is very unfavorable to Meng Ao, and Meng Ao is also a little anxious. Qin has more chariot troops than the opponent, but there is no way to keep up with Lian Po's.
operate.
At this time, an army of Qin State [Literature Hall www.wxguan.info] appeared behind Lian Po. Wang Jian, expressionless, wiped the blood on his face and raised his hand towards Lian Po's rear.
He picked up the spear in his hand.
In the second year of King Qin's reign, Zhao and Qin fought against Yangyi.
Qin won a great victory, killing more than 10,000 people and capturing 20,000 prisoners.
However, Zhao State General Lian Po, with the rest of his troops, retreated to Maling in defeat.
The Qin State made great efforts and captured the surrounding cities, and then took a defensive posture. King Zhao was furious and immediately ordered Li Mu from Yunzhong to bring elite soldiers to support the battlefield, and the Qin State also sent Wang Lu and Hu
Yang, Sima Geng, Qiang and others brought more troops to support. The Qin State's troops in the Jinyang area reached 150,000, while the troops of Zhao State's Lianpo, Li Mu, and Sima Shang only had more than 60,000 troops.
Meng Ao led his army to fight against the armies of Li Mu and Sima Shang in the new city.
The army brought by Li Mu was indeed elite, but in terms of strength, it was far different from Meng Ao... On the battlefield, Li Mu adopted a strategy of concentrating the elite and attacking the Chinese army directly. However, Meng Ao used huge weapons to attack the Chinese army.
The chariot troops directly interrupted Li Mu's attack. The left and right wing pressed forward, trying to swallow up all Li Mu's troops. There was a melee between the two sides. Li Mu gave up his original strategy, fought and retreated, and continued to harass.
Eat the Qin army bit by bit.
Unfortunately, Meng Ao's advance speed was too alarming, and he directly attacked the vicinity of Yanmen County and captured many cities.
Zhao State was not prepared for a full-scale war, and still had the same problem of lack of food.
Zhao State does not have enough food to support a full-scale war with Qin State. Zhao State cannot recruit a large number of troops. Even the food consumed to maintain the current army has become a big problem. Since the Battle of Changping,
There was a food shortage in the State of Zhao. Although it eased somewhat in the following years, the State of Zhao never stopped fighting. Years of wars and civil strife prevented the State of Zhao from completely alleviating the situation.
In the end, Zhao State passively started to defend, and Qin State also stopped attacking. Qin State won the war. General Meng Ao captured more than fifty cities of Zhao State, and defeated Lian Po, Li Mu and others.
Famous throughout the world.
When the news reached Xianyang, King Qin clapped his hands excitedly.
But Zhao Kuo looked confused. Meng Ao defeated Lian Po and Li Mu??
