Chapter 315 315

A year later, the Qin State raised 500,000 troops east of Qinchuan and marched to the west of the river.

Among them, the Qin State trained 10,000 Qin soldiers, which was specially trained by the Qin State for this war, in order to deal with the strong Wei Wushu, although the Qin Zhirui soldiers, the number is not large, but they are all elites, and they are the elite soldiers of the Qin State.

Qin Zhaogong sent the edict of declaration of war to Daliang, and marched on the grounds of subduing the land west of the river and fighting against the tyrannical Wei.

Qin Zhaogong sent an envoy to Zhao to sign an alliance with Zhao to jointly attack Wei.

The Qin State went east out of Qinchuan and declared war on Wei, and it only took two weeks to recapture the land west of the river and enter the Wei State like a no-man's land.

This is mainly due to the fact that King Wei Hui did not attach importance to the land west of the river, and in addition to the heavy troops in the Zhao state, it was very easy for the Qin state to recapture the land west of the river.

If Wu Qi had been in Hexi, perhaps Qin might have to be kept out of Hexi, and even not long after, the Wei soldiers would have been under the city of Wei.

Knowing that Qin had left Sichuan and recaptured the land west of the river, King Hui of Wei was shocked and immediately raised 300,000 Wei troops in Daliang and went to the land west of the river to fight a decisive battle with the Wei state.

Originally, King Wei Hui wanted Wu Qi to lead the army to fight Wei, but Wu Qi led his troops and asked that Wei Wushu must be brought with him, otherwise he would not accept Shuai Yin, but King Wei Hui wanted to use Wei Wushu to fight Zhao, so he rejected Wu Qi's proposal, so King Wei Hui chose Leyang.

Le Yang was recommended by Wei Wuji, this is also a handsome talent, Wei Hui Wang Jue's Youle Yang is in charge, and he should be able to defeat the Qin army.

What's more, in the heart of King Wei Hui, the Qin State is not to be feared, and King Wei Hui also knows that the Qin State is very poor, as long as Leyang holds the Qin State several attacks, King Wei Hui feels that the Qin State will be defeated.

King Wei Hui didn't know that Qin had been preparing grain and grass for the war, maybe Qin's grain output was not as much as Wei's, but Qin's war grain and grass reserves were definitely enough for Qin to fight this war.

Of course, if it is really a protracted war, the Qin State is isolated and helpless, and the Qin State is not the opponent of the Wei State, after all, the Qin State has just recovered from the Central Plains War, although it has a lot of grain and grass reserves, but compared with the powerful Wei State, the reserves of grain and grass are far behind.

After all, Wei won the Central Plains War, and he received indemnities from many countries, and in addition to the fact that Wei occupied the fertile land of the Central Plains, Wei still had a lot of grain and grass reserves.

However, Qin's grain and grass reserves, in this war, grain and grass are enough, after all, Qin is not alone, with the help of Zhao.

Although the State of Qi also promised to help the State of Qin, after all, the geographical location is very far away, one is in the extreme east and the other is in the extreme west, and the State of Qi really wants to help the State of Qin, but it can't help.

After all, distant water can't quench the thirst of the near.

The Qin army is in command, and the newly born general of the Qin State, although he has not been in a war, Qin Zhaogong's expectations and evaluation of him are still very high.

The commander of the Wei State is Le Yang, and Le Yang was recommended by Wei Wuji, but Le Yang's identity and status in the Wei Palace are not very high among the generals.

After all, the Wei State has the military god Pang Juan, the unparalleled Wu Qi, and now this uncle is also in charge.

This made Le Yang's position in the general not very high, but this time King Wei Hui gave Le Yang a very high position and named him the 'commander-in-chief' of the Western Army of Wei.

Of course, Wei is not divided into two armies, but as the war gets bigger and bigger, there are two fronts, and Zhao is in the northeast of Wei, so the Wei army in Zhao is called the 'Eastern Army' and the Qin is in the west of Wei, and the army that is at war with Qin is called the 'Western Army'.

After a year of fighting, Wei has also shown the strength of the first power of his empire, telling the world that the first power of Wei is not in vain.

In the year of the war with the Zhao State, although Handan had not yet been breached, the Wei State had always had the upper hand, and if it were not for the resources of the Qi State, the Zhao State would have collapsed long ago.

Although he got the help of Qi State, Zhao State was only able to defend the city, Li Mu has always advocated attacking, but Zhao Yong did not dare, he was afraid that once he failed, Zhao State would collapse.

is also just as Zhao Yong thought, if Zhao Guo takes the initiative to attack, once it fails, Zhao State will not be able to stop Wei State at all.

However, if you want to defeat the Wei State, you can only make an attack, otherwise you will always rely on the defense, and once the Qi State cuts off the funding, the Zhao State will definitely collapse.

The current Zhao State has put all its hopes on the Qin State, and once the Qin State's eastward advance is smooth, he Zhao State will have the opportunity to break through the encirclement network of the Wei State.

And Qi Guo is very disappointed in Zhao Guo, in the Qi Palace.

"This Zhao State is really disappointing to me, Hu Fu cavalry shooting, as long as they are given enough resources, I thought that I could compete with Wei State, but I didn't expect that in front of the army of Wei State, I could only shrink in the city and dare not fight with it, and pin my hope on other countries!" Qi Xiaobai sat on the throne and said disappointedly.

At the beginning, Qi Xiaobai's idea was very simple, to fund Zhao State, let Zhao State and Wei State fight, weaken the two countries, and then help Zhao State win Wei State.

But Qi Xiaobai didn't expect this Zhao State to be so uncompetitive and was hung and beaten by Wei State, although Handan City was not broken, but this was mainly the help of Qi State.

Of course, Zhao Guo did not show the strength that Qi Xiaobai expected, mainly because Lian Po treated the cavalry as infantry and kept defending the city.

If you take the initiative to attack, you may have a hope of victory, but Zhao Yong and Lian Po didn't dare to gamble, and Li Mu, who dared to gamble, was revoked from his military power.

In the Wei-Zhao War, Zhao only took the initiative once, and that was the Battle of Pingyang fought by Li Mu in one year.

However, it was also because of this battle that Li Mu's position was lost, and the veteran Lian Po was in charge.

"It's also thanks to Tian Ji who persuaded the Qin State to send troops, otherwise it would be really difficult to clean up this situation!" Qi Xiaobai said to the ministers.

If he only relied on Zhao, Qi Xiaobai believed that he would not be able to win against Wei, and before Qin did not send troops, this Zhao State wanted to rely on the funding of Qi and Qi to hold on until Wei retreated.

"It's just that I'm worried that this Western Front won't go well!" Qi Xiaobai looked at the ministers and said.

Qi Xiaobai was afraid that this Qin State would be as uncompetitive as Zhao State, and would be hammered and beaten by Wei State.

Once both Qin and Zhao were in a weak position in the war, then Qi Xiaobai had to choose to abandon Qin and Zhao, make friends with Wei, and help Wei destroy Zhao.

At that time, Qi will have to annex the Song State, so that it will have the ability to resist the Wei State, and I am afraid that after helping the Wei State destroy the Zhao State, the Wei State will break the contract and not help the Qi State destroy the Song State.

Or sit on the ground and start the price and carve up the Song State with the Qi State.

But fortunately, Qi has a good room for maneuver, after all, he signed an alliance with Wei, as long as Zhao has the upper hand, Qi will help Zhao, once Wei has a great upper hand, Qi will definitely abandon Qin and Zhao for its own interests.

And at this time, Tian Ji stood up and said: "The Grand Duke doesn't need to worry, if the Qin State and the Zhao State are not angry, the minister will send an envoy to the Chu State and lobby the Chu State to attack the Wei State!" ”
