Zhao's retreat policy was a big surprise, in the eyes of many people, Zhao was digging his own grave, an order to transfer assets and population, more than seventy percent of the feudal lords in various places were no longer loyal to Zhao Wang Xie, and all the strange gestures were shown.

It looks like Zhao Guo is finished? But it just looks like it's over. In fact, the retreat of the initiative made the materials and manpower that Zhao was able to take out to fight was greatly strengthened, and at the same time, the two spectators of Qi Yan were officially brought to the stage of fighting against the Qin army.

Qi and Yan added quite a lot of counties to the civil strife in Zhao, and some people in the two countries were happy about the expansion of the country's territory, but those who understood knew that Zhao's shrinkage was to bring the two countries to the forefront, forcing them to compete with the Qin army when they were not prepared.

Things have come to this point, Yan Qi drama can't stand it anymore, they don't care that it is winter, they quickly gather troops and drive to the front line, and part of the army also entered the area where Zhao Guo Fengjun surrendered, and the result was that Zhao Guo's court was a voice of scolding.

Chen Yu was in favor of getting out of the way, but Zhang Er was in a position of disagreement, and the two brothers quarreled in the court because of this matter, and they all shut up under the persuasion of Zhao Wangxi who said, "The wood is already in the boat, and there is no point in arguing again".

Zhao State, except for the Handan Army and Julu County (most of them), is really completely chaotic, the five counties have been ceded to the land, the Qin army has not yet come to the situation of smoke everywhere, the feudal monarch and the mob fight, the feudal monarch and the feudal monarch fight, and the gradually retreating Zhao army fights with the feudal monarch and the mob, and the chaos is a mess.

At this point, Zhao Wangxie also simply tore his face, he ordered the retreating troops in each county not only to collect supplies, but also to force all the young and strong people he saw, and at the same time all the people who could move were forcibly withdrawn to Handan.

Zhao Wangxie's actions made the countrymen of Zhao State stunned at first, and then they cooperated, which really made Zhao Wangxie, who was about to be scolded, inexplicable and extremely proud of his actions.

Chen Yu understood it. If the Qin army called the abandoned counties, it was destined to be unlucky, and the earlier resistance was because Zhao State put on a posture of giving up on them, and Zhao Wang Xie forced all the counties to retreat to Handan or Julu together, indicating that the Zhao royal family did not abandon them, and the Qianshou moved just to take valuable things and run, and those feudal monarchs who couldn't move would scold their mothers, otherwise they would be willing to move to avoid the Qin army's retaliation.

Of course, not all Zhao people are grateful because Zhao Wangxi does not seem to have given up on protecting his country's Qiantou, so in some ways, quite a few Zhao people are extremely disappointed in Zhao Wangxie's heart.

Taking advantage of the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity of the chaos of the Zhao Kingdom. Chen Sheng also stepped out of Guangyang County and occupied the five counties of Hengshan in less than a month.

Chen Sheng's large-scale deployment of troops did not encounter any criticism, Qi Yan wished that this guy who raised hundreds of thousands of troops would quickly get out of Guangyang County, but when Chen Sheng sent troops, Liu Bang fled with more than 10,000 people to the east of Julu and took refuge in Tian Rong, the defender of the eastern part of Julu under the command of King Dan of Qi, and provoked Wu Guang to pursue Liu Bang with 30,000 people who did not go out to expand.

The men and horses on both sides encountered on the edge of Yishui, and the envoys who didn't have time to fight Chen Sheng and Qi Wangdan arrived.

Of course, the envoy of Qi Wangdan came to solve the problem of Liu Bang's refuge, and Chen Sheng sent someone to recover Wu Guang.

Qi State helped Chen Sheng take the entire Hengshan County as a condition, in exchange for Liu Bang and Chen Sheng to break off the subordinate relationship, and Chen Sheng, who was squeezed in Guangyang County, had no reason not to agree. I wanted to find another place to go, and used a flamboyant Liu Bang in exchange for the support of Qi State's grain, grass and equipment to win Hengshan County, which was not an unacceptable deal.

When more than 10,000 people led by Liu Bang and Fan Hao were caught up, they originally thought that they were finished, and they did not have the blessing to become the courtiers of Qi and return to Pei County to be the prime minister of Pei. After listening to the talks between the envoy of Qi and the envoy Chen Sheng, I was relieved.

To tell the truth, Liu Bang thought that he was forced to do so under Chen Sheng, and now all the countries have been restored. The Central Plains is also a place of war, and he really can't see how much room Chen Sheng has for development, so he will hook up with Qi State. Being able to serve as the prime minister of Peiguo is a surprise among surprises.

Of course, Liu Bang also knew that the reason why Qi State appointed himself as the Minister of Pei County was nothing more than that he was a native of Pei County, and appointing him as a local after Qi State invaded a part of Surabaya County could alleviate the rejection of Qi State by a large part of the people of Surabaya County.

Qi State's funding of Chen Sheng naturally also has its own intentions, Zhao State to get out of the way so that the Qin army can gallop down is too unexpected, Qi State is not ready to fight with the Qin army now, and the intention of supporting Chen Sheng to occupy Hengshan County is just to let Chen Sheng be able to block the Qin army for a period of time, and buy more time for Qi State's troop transfer and preparation of materials.

Yan Guo also adopted an attitude of recognition on Chen Sheng's matter, Hengshan County and Yan State and Qi State are bordered, Yan State is more weak than Qi State when the Qin army is about to kill, it is a good thing to have Chen Sheng in front of it, especially after Chen Sheng moved to Hengshan County, the territory in Guangyang County was clearly marked with a price, how could Yan Guo disagree?

The Central Plains was in turmoil because of Zhao's unexpected moves, but the Qin army stationed in Taiyuan and Dangjun was in a dilemma.

In the north, Wang Ben's partial division fought more fiercely, although it was replenished with successive troops, but the number of troops on hand was only 130,000. Their forces have been replenished, but their supplies have not been replenished, especially the arrows that have been consumed the most have always been in a state of urgency.

The military rations in Wang Ben's hands were only enough for the 130,000 troops to survive the winter, and the premise was that all the troops were in the garrison and did not fight, and if they attacked, the food would be exhausted within a month.

In the face of the chaotic situation of Zhao State, Wang Ben couldn't help but not shoot, the lack of arrows to use melee combat, Qin pawn was not afraid of Zhao pawn, but food was a problem. Under the premise of lack of food and wanting to take advantage of this good opportunity of Zhao State to send troops, Wang Ben did a major thing to accelerate the escape of the Zhao people in various counties, he ordered the Qin army to disperse to raise grain, robbing the people of Zhao State was frightened, and countless conflicts broke out in the process of raising grain, the result was that Qin soldiers opened a killing ring, and in just half a month, the Qin army raised 200,000 stone of grain and grass, but nearly 100,000 Zhao people fell under the slaughter of Qin soldiers.

It took half a month to raise 200,000 stone grain and grass, although it was only one month more military rations, but Wang Ben was inspired by sending troops to grab grain, thinking that the army was originally fighting with the enemy, as long as the army has been expanding, there is no need to worry about the lack of grain and grass, so with a wave of his hand, in addition to the necessary remaining troops, 100,000 Qin soldiers rushed to Shangdang County.

Xu Yan, who was far away in Dangjun, learned that it was ten days after Wang Ben sent troops, and in these ten days, Wang Ben used the advantage of cavalry to reach Huguan, if it were not for a Zhao general named Wuchen who led his troops to defend the pass, Wang Ben would have almost reached the border of Handan.

The Qin State gathered the strength of the whole country to prepare for the offensive after the spring of the next year, and there were quite a few supplies that had not yet had time to be sent to the front line, and most of the materials were concentrated from all over the country to Xianyang, and then Zhang Han of Shaofu was deployed to various army corps.

The supplies of the Great Wall Army were sent from Xianyang to Yangzhou (Suide) in Shangjun, while the Central Plains Army was sent to Sanchuan (Luoyang) and Dingyang (Ganquan) for transit.

In wartime, the flow of materials is not fast in many cases, especially since Zhang Han alone has to be responsible for logistics in three directions, so naturally there will be urgent and slow transportation.

Because the Hu people in the northern grassland were imminent to go south, and Meng Tian was the first emperor's hair, Zhang Han often gave priority to the supply of Meng Tian's Great Wall Legion, and the Central Plains Army on Xu Yan's side was only maintained at the time of stationing, after all, the Central Plains Army was not so compact after the spring of the next year.

Under Shaofu's delivery strategy of giving priority to the Great Wall Legion, not only Wang Ben, the partial division of the Central Plains Legion, but also the main force of Xu Yan, the Central Plains Legion, was actually in a dilemma of lack of food and equipment.

Xu Yan is different from Wang Ben, when Zhao was in turmoil, what Xu Yan thought about was to wait for Zhao to be chaotic for a while, and wait for Zhao to kill enough people to capture Zhao County, but Wang Ben didn't even ask for instructions before sending troops, disrupting Xu Yan's beautiful arrangement.

Wang Ben was very fierce, and the rapid advance was based on the premise that Wang Ben's partial division cavalry was sufficient, although they hit Huguan, but the territory behind them was not completely combed. The reason why he sent someone to inform Xu Yan was because although he had hit Huguan, there were countless Zhao people behind him who were attacking the back road, and Xu Yan was urgently needed to lead his troops to relieve the siege.

The materials were insufficient, and he was not ready to send troops, Xu Yang scolded on the spot when he received Wang Ben's notice.

The main force of the Central Plains Army? Xu Yan's command is almost all foot soldiers, even if he wants to send troops, it is impossible to quickly join Wang Ben, after all, the two armies are separated by nearly five hundred miles, not to mention the enemy territory in the middle, the most tangled thing is that the soldiers can't be allowed to run over in the heavy snow and hunger, right?

Wang Ben led the army to attack Huguan too suddenly, and scared the Zhao Wangxie family in Handan to the point that chickens and dogs jumped, and it was simply that Wuchen was worthy of being a famous general who had held Jinyang for a month, and he actually relied on 30,000 people to block the Qin army.

Zhao Wangxie, who had reacted, immediately sent Zhang Er with reinforcements to Huguan to support Wuchen after calming down, but at this time Chen Yu said a different strategy.

Chen Yu thought that it was naturally necessary to increase the troops for the military ministers, but Wang Ben was obviously reckless, and only Wang Ben's more than 20,000 cavalry were beaten to Huguan, and the rest of the people were still behind. He also heard that there were quite a lot of righteous soldiers of Zhao State attacking Wang Ben's back road, and Zhao Wang Xie sent Zhang Er to lead people not to support the defense of Huguan, but to attack Wang Ben's foot soldiers who did not personally command.

Zhang Er was actually a little unhappy because of Chen Yu's dirty last time, but he was in favor of Chen Yu's construction.

As soon as the two important ministers said that, Zhao Wangxie, who had no understanding of military affairs, naturally listened to whatever he wanted, and this agreement actually allowed Zhao to achieve its first major victory since the war with the Qin army...... (To be continued......)
