Chapter 181 181
Under the attack of Tian Dan's army, Handan City was not supported for even three days, and this capital, which had never been breached since the state of Zhao, was breached in this way.
Zhao Guoguo Gong 'Zhao Ming Gong' died in bed with hatred the moment he learned that Handan City was broken!
Zhao Yong, who was evacuated to Liyang, inherited the throne after learning the news of Zhao Minggong's death, and called him Zhao Wulinggong!
Le Yang mobilized 200,000 Wei troops in the Central Plains and went to Zhao to support Zhao and ensure that Zhao was not destroyed......
After Leyang entered Liyang, mourning was heard in any corner of Liyang City, and the people lowered their heads, feeling sorry for Zhao Minggong's death, and their hatred of Qi became even stronger.
Le Yang entered the county guard mansion of Liyang City, and now it is the new Zhao Palace, entering the palace, Le Yang looked at the very powerful man in his prime: "Meet, Zhao Gong!" ”
Zhao Yong nodded and looked at Le Yang and said, "I heard that 200,000 troops were dispatched this time to support my Zhao State?" ”
"That's right, when I learned that the Qi army was coming to Handan, Wei Wu Gongma wrote a letter asking Pang Juan to send 200,000 from the central army to support Zhao State!" Le Yang said to Zhao Yong.
The army led by Le Yang is the elite army of the main battlefield of the Central Plains, this time Wei Wugong also knew that he underestimated the Qi State, originally he thought that he could resist the Qi State by sending Han Cheng and 100,000 troops, but what he didn't expect was that the Qi State still broke through Handan City, and also forced his former old friend, the former Guogong of Zhao State, Zhao Minggong to death.
Zhao Minggong was sent to Zheng Guoli as a hostage when he was a child, in order to maintain the alliance with Zheng Guo, and Wei Wugong was also sent to Zheng Guo as a hostage when he was a child, the two were in the same situation in Zheng Guo, so they naturally became friends, and later after the two returned to their own country, they did not forget the original friendship, and later Wei Wugong and Zhao Minggong inherited the throne, and the covenant between the two countries was even more indestructible!
When he learned that Zhao Minggong had died, Wei Wugong also unconsciously shed tears, sighing that Zhao Minggong's wise life actually died like this......
He lamented the pity that Zhao Minggong died, Zhao Minggong can be said to be a rare capable monarch in the empire, Zhao State can be said to be thriving under his governance, and he reformed the Hufu cavalry shooting, so that Zhao State has a new type of elite army, such a strong person, but in the end he died in such a nest!
At this time, when Tian Dan learned that Le Yang entered Zhao with an army of 200,000, he was very helpless, originally he planned to destroy Zhao Lianpo's army with Qi Xiaobai's army, sweep away the last obstacles of Zhao State, and complete the plan to annex Zhao State.
But Le Yang brought 200,000 troops from the front line of the Central Plains, which limited his plan to attack Lian Po, Liyang was not very far from Handan, if he attacked Lian Po from behind, who dared to guarantee that this Le Yang would not attack him Tian Dan from behind?
At this time in Zhongshan City, Lian Po knelt on the ground with tears in his eyes: "Ming Gong, the old man will definitely avenge you!" ”
After Lian Po learned of Zhao Minggong's death, he would bow down in the direction of Handan City every day, and then shout to avenge Zhao Minggong!
Han Cheng pulled up Lian Po: "General Lian, the death of Zhao Minggong is not your responsibility, you don't have to be so guilty!" ”
"No, this is my responsibility, I have always thought that relying on Zhongshan City to resist Qi Xiaobai's army can ensure the safety of Handan City, but I didn't expect Qi Xiaobai to open another road and attack Handan City!" Lian Po said to Han Cheng.
When he learned that Tian Dan had arrived in Xishan, Lian Po was actually shaken and planned to abandon Zhongshan City and go to Handan to protect Zhao Minggong, but was stopped by Zhao Yong's secret letter, and Zhao Yong ordered him to defend Zhongshan City all the time to prepare for a future counteroffensive!
When the Qi army arrived in Xishan, it was actually too late for Lian Po to support Handan, if he still chose to support Handan, Qi Xiaobai's army would definitely attack, delaying his plan to go to Handan, so after learning of Zhao Yong's secret letter, he chose to obey and let Handan City be forced.
When he learned the news that Handan City was forced, Lian Po cried and fainted in Zhongshan City on the spot, almost dying somewhere, but fortunately, the military doctor's medical skills were good, so Lian Po woke up!
Otherwise, this is a great news for the Qi State, the famous general of the Zhao State, Lian Po, is dead, so who else in the Zhao State can resist the Qi army?
But it's a pity that this Lian Po should not be killed!
And Guan Zhong lowered his head, blaming himself for disrupting the strategy, Wu Zixu and others were originally suggesting to open up a new route to destroy the main force of Lian Po, but because of Guan Zhong's prevention, Tian Dan attacked Handan City, although Zhao Minggong was killed, Handan City was also broken, but Lian Po's main force still did not solve.
More importantly, it also attracted 200,000 troops into Zhao, and the 200,000 troops that came in, including 70,000 standing armoured troops of Wei, 30,000 elite standing troops of Wei, 50,000 reserve regiments of Wei, and 50,000 cavalry soldiers of Hufu of Zhao!
This can be regarded as attracting a wave of firepower to the Chu State, and Lian Po still has nearly 300,000 legions there, so that there are 500,000 in total......
Although the total number of Qi troops is as high as 500,000, they still have advanced weapons such as Korean ballistas, and the elite standing army of Wei is referred to as the 'Fen Army', which is very powerful, and there are 50,000 elite soldiers of Zhao who are cavalry and shoot in Hufu......
Although the generals of the Qi State, except for Tian Dan and Sun Wu, have not learned the elite soldiers of Hufu cavalry and archery, this group of elite soldiers is claimed to be stronger than the Yan State Iron Cavalry, and this Hufu cavalry and archery is an elite army with both cavalry and foot.
It was Guan Zhong who attracted 200,000 troops into Zhao and put Qi into an unfavorable situation, and Guan Zhong had to bear this responsibility!
If Guan Zhong doesn't take this responsibility, how will Qi Xiaobai rule the Qi State in the future? If you have merit, you will be rewarded, and if you have faults, you will be punished!
Guan Zhong put Qi Guo in a disadvantageous place, this is a big mistake, and he has to accept punishment, but Guan Zhong also has a better attitude of admitting guilt, when he learned that his strategy made Qi Guo unfavorable, he did not hesitate to stand up and say his mistake and admit his guilt!
Qi Xiaobai looked at Guan Zhong: "Father Zhong, the wise man must make a mistake, Father Zhong should not blame himself so much!" ”
"Bai'er, if you pass, you will be punished, and your merit will be rewarded, this is the most important article after the reform of Qi State, you can't be gracious because I am the prime minister and your middle father, otherwise what should I do after others have committed a crime? Do you still have to be gracious? Guan Zhong said to Qi Xiaobai.
Qi Xiaobai looked at Guan Zhong and muttered in his heart, should you be punished? I can't kill you, can I? You are Lao Tzu's brainchild......
However, what Guan Zhong said is very reasonable, if you have merit, you will be rewarded, and if you are wrong, you will be punished!
