Chapter 870: Sweeping the Ordos Plateau
Today's fourth update
…………………………………………
Zuo Qiu Ming looked at the excited Lu Di in the king's tent, and scolded his mother in his heart: Finally full of your intentions! Sweep the six countries.
In Zuo Qiu Ming's opinion, after the destruction of the Zhao State, this battle should be over, who expected that Lu Di led his troops to the north on the grounds that Donghu and Linhu went south, and the result was that they fought farther and farther, and established five large counties, Shuofang County, Jiuyuan County, Yunzhong County, Dingxiang County and Yanmen County, not to mention, now it's okay, and the Yiqu people are going to war again! Presumably, after defeating the Yiqu people and seizing their land, he will go directly south to destroy Qin, right?
Zuo Qiu Ming sighed in his heart, and added disdain.
He understands that his own king is changing the law to lure the armies to speed up the war of unification!
The people of Yiqu also seemed to sense that something was wrong with the Qi army on the other side of the river, on the one hand, they sent envoys to talk about the old days with Lu Di, saying how their ancestors and Lu Di rebelled against each other's black wings together, and also said that some things about Lan Qi'er were just to impress Lu Di with affection and make him give up thinking about Yiqu.
However, when Lu Di asked his beloved son Lu Qu back and made Tiemer the king of Yiqu, he had already paid off Yiqu's kindness, and he didn't owe anyone.
Besides, it is absolutely impossible for him to lose his dream of unification for the sake of the deceased!
Seeing that Lu Di didn't seem to care about the old feelings, the Yiqu envoy immediately changed his strategy, saying that he was willing to surrender to the Qi State and would make offerings every year.
Lu Di was silent, the Yiqu envoy gritted his teeth, expressing his willingness to cut the land for thousands of miles, Lu Di still didn't speak, the Yiqu envoy was furious, and finally said to Lu Di: "King Qi, do you really want to destroy Yiqu?" ”
Lu Di smiled and said: "Lone's son, that is, the crown prince, Lu Qu, he should have inherited the throne of Yiqu, but back then, Lone was selfish, which made him even more lonely, and now Lone feels that it is time for him to be the king of Yiqu."
The Yiqu envoy was silent when he heard this, and then crossed the river and returned to the gathering place of the Yiqu royal family.
After returning to Yiqu, Lü Di soon received the news of the break between Yiqu and Qi, Lü Di laughed, and ordered 500,000 troops to immediately cross the Yellow River on a raft and go south.
The army slaughtered to the ancient Ordos Plateau, the Yiqu people and the Qi army were close to each other, and they were defeated one after another, and the Yiqu people retreated into the grassland with abundant water and grass.
If it weren't for the 50,000 camels and the surrendered Linhu people, they would all die of thirst in the desert and would not be able to get out.
After getting out of the desert, the soldiers of the Qi army lost more than half.
Lü Di was furious and ordered the 500,000 army to be divided into three parts, three on the left, the center and the right, 150,000 on the left, 150,000 on the right, and 200,000 on the middle.
The Yiqu people suffered the blow of the Qin people many years ago, and their strength was greatly damaged, and they fought with the Linhu people some time ago, and killed many elites, so they were not confident enough when facing the Qi army, and they were defeated in a battle, and finally fled back to Laowo, the Loess Plateau area of ancient northern Shaanxi.
The Yiqu people knew that they could not be the opponent of the Qi State, so he sent an envoy to the Qin State to ask for help, and the Qin State learned that Lu Di had actually gone south from the north, which frightened the entire court into chaos.
In the end, from the battlefield of Yuhan, 100,000 troops were urgently transferred to return to China, and then soldiers were urgently mobilized from all over the country to prepare to go north to rescue Yiqu.
The people of the Qin State went to save Yiqu, not because they were kind, because they knew that saving Yiqu was also saving themselves.
To a large extent, Yiqu is the barrier of the northern part of the Qin people, and with the Yiqu people, the northern frontier of the Qin State is stable.
Now that Yiqu is about to be destroyed by Lu Di, do you say that the Qin people can not be afraid?
At this moment, on the battlefield of Yuhan, the Qin army, the Wei army, and the Qi army are in a horn situation, and no one can help anyone for the time being.
After receiving the military order of the king of Qin, Sima Tang, the commander of the Qin army, immediately visited Wei Du, the Grand Duke of Wei, and finally decided after some discussion, Sima Tang led the army to return to China, although Wei Du was unwilling in his heart, but he also knew the priority of the matter, if the Qin State was destroyed, then the Qin army here would no longer be a friendly army, and it might become a burden, or even a match that would burn on him at any time.
The Qin army secretly retreated 100,000, naturally it would not escape from the eyes of the Qi army, and the Hexi general Bu Shang gathered the whole army to give a lecture, and told everyone the news that the main force of the Qi army Lu Di might have gone south to Yiqu, and everyone cheered after hearing it.
Because they knew that the fact that their own king could go south from the north of Yiqu was enough to show that in the far north, the territory controlled by the Lin Hu and Donghu people had also become the territory of the Qi State.
And sure enough, the news was soon confirmed, and an official letter sent by Linzi said that Qi had built five new counties, and that there was a need for death row prisoners and traitors to move to the border.
Bu Shang's part, plus Sun En's one, has a total of about 350,000 soldiers, but in the face of the 600,000 allied forces of Wei and Qin, they dare not start a war without authorization, because Qi did not declare war on Qin and Wei, and they cannot afford this responsibility.
Sima Tang left 100,000 Qin troops, and now there are 500,000 miscellaneous cards left in the Qin and Wei coalition forces, and Bu Shang wants to start a war, because he is confident of winning this war, so he immediately drafted a battle order to Lu Di, hoping to start a war against Qin, so that the Qi army can attack the Qin army on both sides at the same time, so that the Qin army is difficult to care for each other in the east and north.
Half a month later, Lu Di received this order to fight, at this time he had just fought with the Qin and Yiqu allied forces on the Loess Plateau, and the army was integrating and recuperating, preparing to attack again.
After seeing Bu Shang's letter of invitation to fight, Lu Di passed the letter to everyone to watch, and everyone except Zuo Qiu Ming unanimously agreed with this policy.
Lü Di immediately asked Zhang Mengtan to draft the royal edict and announced the world: "The Qin State has repeatedly disregarded morality and launched a war against Qi, and Qi has now to fight back and declare war on the Qin State, and the special edict will be issued tomorrow." ”
The news of Qi's declaration of war on Qin shocked the princes again.
Qin State, Xianyang City, the old lady Zhao Yi, after hearing the news, stood up from the wheelchair, and then pressed his hand on the ancient city wall, trembling, and did not say a word.
Because he knew his final worries were coming!
The king of Qin once again urgently launched a national mobilization order, this time he asked all men of the Qin state, whether old, young, sick or disabled, to go to the battlefield to resist the invasion of the Qi army.
Wei State, the battlefield of Yuhan, the Grand Duke of Wei Du, heard that Qi declared war on the Qin army, there was no hesitation at all, and announced a declaration of war on Qi on the spot to block the Qi army's westward march into Qin.
In the Qi army, the Hexi general Bu Shang was furious when he learned that Wei was blocking his way, and ordered the general Sun En to lead an army of 200,000 to the west of Qin, while he took the last 150,000 troops to confront Wei on the battlefield of Yuhan, and at the same time asked for help from the prince Touman stationed in Bingzhou County.
