After the end of the offensive and defensive battle of Zhongren City, Qi Xiaobai stationed troops in Zhongren City for a month, because at this time, Zhongren City had become an empty city, and he needed to arrange good people to stay in Zhongren City.

And the atrocities of the Qi army in Zhongren City were also spread to various cities in Zhao State, of course, they were only a few thousand people in Zhongren City at the beginning, and then it was passed on, and the entire Zhongren City was not survived!

When Zhao Minggong heard the news, he fell ill directly, and he ordered Li Mu to return to Zhao with the army to fight to the death with the Qi army.

However, it was stopped by Wei Wugong, because the Central Plains War at this time was at the most critical moment, and Pang Juan and Li Mu joined forces to fight inextricably with the Chu army of King Chu Huai, and if the Zhao army was dispatched from it, it was very likely to make the Central Plains coalition army weak.

In order to block Zhao Minggong's order, Wei Wugong personally came to Handan, the capital of Zhao State, with generous gifts from Daliang.

"Ming Gong!" Wei Wugong looked at Zhao Minggong and said.

"I hate that, this Qi country actually slaughtered the people of my city!" Zhao Minggong said this, said this, and cried.

"I know, when Wu Qi solves the Qin State, I will let him support you Zhao State, and we must let the Qi State pay for its blood debts!" Wei Wugong comforted Zhao Minggong.

"The Central Plains battlefield is now at the most critical moment, if Li Mu comes back, then it will be difficult for the Chu army to resist, and when the time comes, it will not be as simple as being slaughtered in a city, the barbarism of the Chu people is not as good as that of the Qi country!" Wei Wugong persuaded on the side.

"But if you don't mobilize the army from the Central Plains, then it will be difficult for my Zhao State to resist the Qi army!" Zhao Minggong looked at Wei Wugong and said.

Wei Wugong pondered for a while, there is nothing wrong with the Central Plains battlefield being the key, but the Zhao State cannot fall, if the Zhao State falls, then he Wei State will be attacked before and after, and it will be even more difficult to support it at that time!

"Let Zhao Guojing's army come back with 50,000, and I'm arranging 30,000 Wei troops, and I'm asking Korea to send 20,000 elite soldiers to support you!" Wei Wugong said to Zhao Minggong.

It was not possible to withdraw the army, but Zhao couldn't ignore it, so Wei Wugongjue's he and Zhao Minggong had to retreat and mobilize 100,000 troops from the central army to support Zhao and defend.

I don't want to be able to defeat the Qi army, I just want to keep the Qi army out of Zhongshan City, so that the Qi army can't march to Handan, and after solving the Chu army, I will fight a decisive battle with the Qi army!

This is Wei Wugong's strategic thinking, first Chu and then Qi, first solve the strong, and then solve the weak!

And Zhao Minggong also knew that the Chu army was strong and that the central battlefield could not mobilize troops on a large scale, so he also accepted Wei Wugong's proposal.

As for Han Liegong, after hearing Wei Wugong's request, he directly agreed, and Wei Wugong mobilized 20,000 Han troops from the Central Plains battlefield to Zhao State for support.

After all, South Korea was divided into two lines, half of them were stationed in South Korea to defend the Qin army, and half of them were in the Central Plains battlefield to help Wei and Zhao resist the attack of Chu.

Because of the support of Wu Qi, the pillar of the Wei State, the Korean mainland has become much easier......

Originally, Korea wanted Wu Qi to join forces to fight the Qin army in Hexi, but Wu Qi rejected Han Liegong's proposal, and he alone took 50,000 Wei soldiers into the Hexi region to fight the Qin army, and there was no result so far.

The Wei soldiers were the legions personally trained by Wu Qi, with a total of only 100,000 people, and the remaining 50,000 did not enter the Central Plains War to participate in the war, but stayed in Daliang to prevent the rout of the main battlefield in the Central Plains, which directly led to the rout of the whole line, and the Wei State had no troops to defend.

The Qi army passed through the Zhongren City, because the city was not in danger to defend, the Zhao army did not do a big fortification in the city, and the army in this city was also mobilized by Lian Po.

And because the Qi army wiped out the Zhongren City, the next city was Mancheng, and many people in Mancheng fled from Mancheng.

However, there are also some people in Mancheng who do not want to leave their homeland and choose to stay in Mancheng!

And the master of Mancheng is named Liu Dong, he is a person from a small scholar clan, but with his literary talent, he sat in the position of the county guard of Zhao State, that is, the city lord of Mancheng.

When he heard that the Qi army was attacking the city, he called on the people to fight to the death against the Qi army!

At this time, he stood outside the county guard mansion in the city and gave a passionate speech to the people in the city!

When he finished his speech, there was no applause or applause, but a young man glared at Liu Dong: "Are you stupid?" There are so many people in the Qi army, you let us resist, isn't this sending us to death? ”

"As the people of the Zhao Kingdom, how can they tolerate the Qi people trampling on our land?" Liu Dong looked at the young man and said.

However, his words did not make the Zhao people present respond to the call, and another common man stood up and said: "The Qi army has just slaughtered Zhongren City, and you let us resist, doesn't this also want us to turn the city into an empty city?" ”

"Do you want to watch your homeland being invaded by the Qi people?" Liu Dong shouted at the group of people.

"Zhongshan City has suffered from the resistance of the Qi army because of the deception of resistance, we don't want the city to annoy the Qi army because of the death battle, so that the Qi army will also slaughter our city!" Another citizen said.

The people of the city responded in response......

"The city has long been abandoned by the monarch of the Zhao State, and the defenders in the city have been mobilized to Zhongshan City for defense, how can we ordinary people, how can the militia resist the elite division of the Qi State?"

Liu Dong didn't expect it to be like this, he instinctively relied on his talent to give a passionate speech, which would definitely make the people burn with blood and fight to the death with him.

At that time, he will also be able to gain a reputation and greatly improve the status of his family......

"Do you want to commit treason?" Liu Dong glared at the people and said.

"We just want to live!" One of the people replied.

"Come on, arrest these people who are deceiving the people!" Liu Dong shouted, but the people all resisted the soldiers in his county guard's mansion.

Because the army was sent away by Lian Po, in fact, there were not many soldiers in the entire city, and only less than 100 county guards were left.

And the people of the city were afraid that the Qi army would attack the city, and they all fled, and the entire city had a total population of less than 100,000 at this time!

And one of Liu Dong's doormen said: "My lord, let's go back to the house first!" ”

Liu Dong nodded, because the people all chose to make a move, and the soldiers in his Liu Dong Mansion were not opponents at all, and after a while, Liu Dong chose to close the door.

"Say, what are we going to do?" Liu Dong looked at his doorman and asked.

"Surrender!" The doorman said to Liu Dong.

"How can this be? My family is in Handan, if I surrender, what will happen to my family? Even if Ming Gong doesn't kill my family, what place will my family have in Handan in the future? Liu Dong directly vetoed the words of the doorman.

"Do you really plan to fight to the death with the Qi army?" The doorman asked.
