Xihe County, Yuanli City.

Wang Jian stood on the top of the city of Yuanli City, quietly looking at the land in the east.

This is the Hexi Land of the Qin State and the Xihe County of the Zhao State.

The footsteps sounded, and Wei Yu walked over and reported to Wang Qian: "General, the second and third sons have been prepared and can retreat." ”

Wang Jian nodded and said, "In that case, then according to the previous plan, except for leaving five thousand soldiers to guard this place, all the others should retreat." ”

Wei Yu responded, and then said a little unwillingly: "General, now that the situation is very good, why do you want to retreat?" ”

What Wei Yu said is really not a lie, the current situation of the Qin army is really very good.

In the duel with Pang Xuan, Wang Jian successfully used the means of attacking the east and the west, using the main force to attract Pang Xuan's attention, and at the same time let Wei Yi lead a strange army to suddenly cross Luoshui and conquer Wang Cheng and Yuanli City.

After owning these two cities, the Qin State had two bridgeheads east of Luoshui, and the entire strategic situation was suddenly reversed.

Having lost these two cities, Pang Xuan was forced to retreat, and one-third of the entire Xihe County was controlled by the Qin army.

In such a situation, Wang Jian began to attack more actively.

Although it is said that in the field battle, the Zhao army has the earth-shaking thunder and grenades made of gunpowder as the main material, but the Zhao army's sky-shaking thunder needs to be buried, and the grenades need to be projected at close range, which has its own shortcomings, so the Qin army is not completely invincible.

Under such circumstances, the Qin army, relying on the excellent command of Wang Jian and Wei Yi, fought several small-scale victories in a row, which greatly boosted the morale of the Qin army.

Although the Zhao army, under the command of Pang Xuan, was also not to be outdone, and gave the Qin army a lot of setbacks, but considering the fact that the Qin army has always been defeated and invincible against the Zhao army over the years, it can be said that it is zero and ten open, and the current five or five open is undoubtedly completely acceptable to the Qin army.

After gaining confidence, the perseverance of the old Qin people also began to be brought into play, and the balance of war was slowly tilting towards the side of the Qin army.

Under such a good situation, Wang Jian suddenly ordered the withdrawal of troops back to Xianyang, which was obviously a little unacceptable.

This is not only the idea of Wei Yu, but also the opinion of a considerable number of generals in the Qin army.

Wang Jian glanced at Wei Xuan, and suddenly said, "Do you think that if you continue, will our army be able to defeat Pang Xuan?" ”

Almost without thinking, Wei Yu said, "That's natural! ”

Wang Jian nodded and said, "Yes, I think so too." ”

Wei Yu said with some puzzlement: "In this case, why did the general withdraw the army?" ”

Wang Jian sighed and said, "This is not what I mean, but what the king means." I just got the news that the Qi State has died. ”

Wei Yi's body was shocked, and his face was very surprised.

The demise of the Qi State was almost a foregone conclusion for Wei Yu, but the problem was that the speed of the Qi State's demise was beyond Wei Yu's expectations.

"Qi Guo...... Perishing so quickly? When Wei Yi spoke, the expression on his face was somewhat incredulous.

"Yes." Wang Jian looked at Wei Yu calmly: "As soon as the Qi State dies, then the main force of the Zhao army has been completely liberated, if the war continues, then the Zhao State will definitely mobilize a large army to enter the Guanzhong West." At that time, what our army will have to face is not the second-rate troops of the Zhao State led by this Pang Xuan, but the main force of the Zhao army led by Lian Po or Li Mu! ”

Wei Yu finally understood.

After hearing the news of the demise of the Qi State, the high-ranking people of the Qin State were afraid.

They were afraid that they would become Zhao's next target, so they decided to withdraw their troops for a temporary truce in order to avoid Zhao's edge.

After thinking it through, Wei Yu suddenly felt a little angry.

This anger was not directed at the enemy of the Zhao State, but at the cowardly Qin high-ranking people in Xianyang.

He was very unconvinced and said: "But General, even if I don't retreat, Zhao State may not let go of Daqin, and Daqin may still become Zhao's next target!" If that's the case, then this retreat doesn't make any sense at all! ”

Wang Jian nodded and said, "What you said naturally makes sense. But don't forget that the autumn harvest is coming soon, and after the autumn harvest comes winter, and even if you have to continue fighting, this season is not the right season. It is better to withdraw the army first and let the soldiers go home to participate in the autumn harvest, and reserve more food, even if the Zhao army comes to attack next year, Daqin will have more materials to meet the war with the Zhao State! ”

Wang Jian stared at Wei Yu calmly: "I know that you are dissatisfied in your heart, but don't forget that the Zhao State we are facing now is an unprecedentedly strong enemy!" In the face of such a formidable enemy, it is impossible to pay too much attention to and prepare for war with it. Now is no longer the time to investigate the gains and losses of one city and one place, because soon, a war that will decide whether Great Qin will die or not is coming! ”

Wei Yi was silent for a long time, and suddenly spoke: "General, now that the Zhao State has leveled the Central Plains, there are only three of the seven warring states of the past left, and the Great Qin ......."

Wang Jian raised his head and stopped Wei Yu from continuing: "As an old Qin person, I should fight for Great Qin until the last moment, as for the victory or defeat, it all depends on the will of heaven." Okay, let's go, crossing the river is also a troublesome project, and you should keep an eye on it, and don't let anything go wrong. ”

Wei Yi wanted to speak again and again, but in the end he chose to obey the order.

Seeing Wei Yi leave with heavy steps, Wang Jian couldn't help but sigh softly.

Of course, Wang Jian could hear that Wei Yu actually had no confidence that he could defeat Zhao Guo.

To be honest, facing such a powerful opponent as Zhao Guo, even Wang Jian himself doesn't know what the future will be.

"But there are some things that always have to be faced...... Wang Jian sighed, and his expression slowly became firm.

Qin's military campaign came to an end for the time being, but Zhao's military campaign continued.

In addition to the sporadic resistance of the Qi people who were still sweeping away all over the country, the direction of the main force of the Zhao State this time was placed in the Chu State.

The civil strife in Chu not only deprived the Chu people of the opportunity to rescue the Qi State, but also gave the Zhao people a great opportunity to successfully intervene in the Chu State.

What few people know is that this civil strife in the Chu State did not actually occur naturally, but Zhao Dan, who was thousands of miles away in Handan, made a decision, and through the Hu Yiwei head Mao Sui personally carried out, a super plan that used almost the strength of the entire Zhao State's intelligence network.

Behind this conspiracy, the Zhao envoy swaggered as a savior, and was able to slaughter the two major political factions of Chu without psychological pressure, squeezing more benefits beneficial to Zhao from them.

After having a secret conversation with Li Yuan and Jingtong, Yu Xin and Zheng Zhu led the Zhao delegation to leave Yingdu and rushed back to Zhao day and night.

As soon as the Zhao State delegation left, Li Yuan, who had already been notified, immediately shrank the defensive line and put on a posture of stubborn defense.

Five days later, 15,000 private troops from the three major families arrived in Yingdu.

Jingtong almost didn't hesitate for a quarter of an hour, and immediately led the armies of the three major families, which had already gained superiority in strength, to launch a huge attack on the one controlled by Li Yuan.

This time, the war between the two sides was extremely fierce, and each side suffered heavy casualties.

Fifteen days later, the 100,000 troops of the Zhao army, which had been stationed on the border of Zhao and Chu, began to advance rapidly southward under the leadership of Lian Po, aiming directly at Yingdu.

After the news of Zhao's southward movement came out, the battle in Yingdu City immediately became more intense.

Li Yuan, who had no way to retreat, had to hold the line before the Zhao army arrived, while Jingtong, who had the upper hand, wanted to end the war before the Zhao people arrived.

Twenty-seven days later, 100,000 Zhao troops arrived at the city of Yingdu.

At this time, it was also the time when Li Yuan was about to be unable to support it and was about to fail.

The achievement of Lian Po brought the war to a temporary standstill.

To the surprise of both sides, Lian Po did not move and did not join either side, looking as if he was waiting for something.

After three days passed, the three major families finally made a desperate decision, on the one hand, they used a small army to guard the Zhao army, and on the other hand, they invested most of their troops to attack Li Yuan, wanting to kill Li Yuan first, causing the established fact.

In addition, Li Yuan's troops began to fall into a desperate situation, and signs of mutiny appeared.

So Li Yuan had to go to the Zhao State military camp to see Lian Po in person, and met his old acquaintance Mao Sui there.

No one knows how Mao Sui and Li Yuan talked, but the result is well known.

In this conversation, Li Yuan, who had to make concessions again in order to survive.

In addition to the conditions originally agreed, Li Yuan ceded the two cities of Yunyang and Yanling south of the Yangtze River and all the territories under these two cities to Zhao in exchange for the Zhao people to send troops to help Li Yuan.

The day after Li Yuan made this decision, the Zhao army officially entered the war and launched an attack on the three major families.

The three major families originally poured out of the nest, mobilized all their strength, and fought with Li Yuan for almost a month, and they were already tired of being a veteran of the division.

Therefore, under the extremely sharp offensive of the army led by Lian Po, the troops of the three major families were completely difficult to resist and retreated.

Five days later, Jingtong had to lead the troops of the three major families to withdraw from Yingdu and head east.

In this way, Yingdu officially fell into the control of Li Yuan and Lian Po, a pair of allies.

Due to Li Yuan's heavy losses, the strength of the Zhao army in Yingdu had already occupied a decisive advantage.

This means one thing, that is, as long as Lian Po is willing, he can capture Yingdu at any time.

For the sake of Yingdu, a small controversy broke out in Handan.
