In fact, not only the Qin State, but also the Han State did not have a comfortable life in any country in the land of China except for the Han State. Perhaps it should be said that because everyone is not comfortable, and the changes in the general trend of the world have also begun to affect the Han Kingdom, in the face of comprehensive changes in the general trend, it is estimated that no country can live its own small life in peace.

For the Han state, the accident in the south was only a relatively small part of the overall situation, and the biggest impact was that the upheaval that the Qin state was about to face would probably drag the Han state into a larger war.

The First Emperor was seriously ill for three years, and he didn't know what method the imperial doctor of the Qin State used to hang his life to keep Ying Zheng holding on for so long? However, it seems that three years is already the limit of what the imperial doctor of the Qin State can do, whether it is the information from Zhao Gao's side, or the intelligence that Yan Pi spied on himself, or the news from Ang or some Qin clans, leading the Qin State to once unify the world, the first emperor in the world, it seems that it will not last long.

Different from the Qin State in history, the first emperor in the history has not officially canonized the crown prince, and he himself died suddenly on the way to inspection, as a result, Zhao Gao Jiao killed the Su prisoner Meng Tian, and the Qin State came to an end in a series of changes.

In this version of history, the First Emperor did not officially canonize Fusu as the crown prince until he fainted frequently, because various places fell into chaos and division in advance, and the countries also returned to the country one after another early, and the First Emperor naturally did not patrol everywhere. At the same time, Zhao Gao's fate trajectory has also changed, although he also has a bad relationship with Fusu because of Lu Zhecun's relationship, he has no worries about being killed, so naturally he will not be forced to mess around.

Although I don't know whether the countries colluded with the Xiongnu in genuine history (in fact, there were), but the Hu people led by the Xiongnu did go south at about the same time node. So history seems to have not changed only in the fact that the steppe Hu people went south? However, compared with the situation that Meng Tian was able to lead 300,000 Qin troops and received sufficient material support in the genuine history, this version of Meng Tian can be described as a much more difficult situation.

Probably in the first two years, that is, in 218 BC, Touman attacked and retreated from Yinshan in the direction of Shangjun, and invaded Qin from the direction of Zhao last year (217 BC), Meng Tian only used less than 100,000 Qin troops to resist for four months, and finally because the battle between Qin and Qi, Yan and Zhao in the direction of the Central Plains ended early, Fusu led the army to aid Meng Tian.

The Central Plains Army was taken away by Fusu with 200,000, and Xu Yan, the commander of the Central Plains Army, had a force at hand that dropped to 600,000, and the soldiers among the 600,000 were less than 250,000. When facing the combined forces of Qi, Yan, and Zhao, which still had a million troops, he chose to consolidate the front on the Sanchuan County and Dangjun fronts.

Facts also proved the correctness of Xu Yan's decision, because Fusu led the army to support Meng Tian's Great Wall Army, and the tilt of the materials purchased by Qin or from Lu Zhe must have changed from providing the Central Plains Army to supplying the Great Wall Army, and the Central Plains Army, which had enough troops but was short of materials, was no longer suitable for field warfare, and they consolidated the front for less than three months, that is, in the summer of 217 AD, the combined forces of Qi, Yan, and Zhao really launched a counterattack.

Qi, Yan, and Zhao were the direction of attack of the Three Kingdoms Alliance, and as Lu Zhe had guessed, the first batch of about 600,000 allied troops marched from the direction of Dangjun, and their target was Dangxian, the first city on the border line of Surabaya County.

The original city wall of Dangxian was demolished by the order of the First Emperor in 221 BC. When Xu Yan built the defense line, he did not build the city wall again because of the shortage of materials, but only arranged 500 Qin troops in Dangxian as a guard, and the result was, of course, that the combined forces of Qi, Yan, and Zhao captured Dangxian.

The 500 Qin troops arranged by Xu Yan were wiped out after completing their mission of lighting the beacon smoke, and the allied forces of Qi, Yan, and Zhao chose to be noble and fast after winning the first battle. At the first time, he sent troops to Mangxian and captured it lightly again, and then the coalition forces in ecstasy set the next target in Li County, and once again captured it effortlessly.

Within ten days of successive capture of three counties, the combined forces of Qi, Yan, and Zhao were stunned when they did not encounter decent resistance from the Qin army, and at this time, the newly established Han State did something that no one could understand so well. That is, 50,000 Han troops took advantage of the territory of Wei and Han to enter Xiangxian.

At this time, what did the Han army want to do by deploying its army near the battlefield? And it seems that the commander of the Han army came to the Han State First Baron Ji Bu, that is, the new commander of the Northern Han Army.

The alliance of Qi, Yan, and Zhao was too easy to attack and plunder the Qin State, and it was a bit of a mistake in his heart. And the county town captured seems to have been cleared by Qin Guojian, and it seems that there is some conspiracy, and at this time, Ji Bu, a person who can rank in the top ten in the Han State, is approaching with the army, so they can't help but be suspicious.

Tian Rong, who was captured in the Shenhui hunt and was later ransomed, gave two suggestions, one was to send an envoy to Xiangxian to ask the Han army about the intentions of the Han army, and the other was naturally that no matter what conspiracy the Qin army had, it could not stop the march.

To tell the truth, Ji Bu led the army to Xiangxian to urgently get an order from Lu Zhe, because the Qin army at this time had not yet arranged the army, and the mobilization of some armies and material preparations were in the passive stage, so the menacing Qi, Yan, and Zhao coalition forces were very likely to directly capture Suiyang, the capital of Dangjun, without the Central Plains Army having time to complete the mobilization, which was something that the Han State was absolutely not happy to see.

Why did the Han state under LĂź Zhe's rule sell supplies to the warring parties? It's not about gaining time and at the same time letting Qin and Qi, Yan, and Zhao fight the premise that the materials are not troubled. The previous battle between Qin and Qi, Yan, and Zhao in Chenjun stopped too suddenly, and it didn't reach the expected goal of the Han State at all, but this time the three kingdoms of Qi, Yan, and Zhao took the initiative to rise up, but the Qin side that had to resist with all their might was out of touch, how could this work!

At that time, Lu Zhe still overestimated himself, thinking that the majesty of the hunt would scare Qi, Yan, and Zhao...... It seems that there is a mistake in the wording? Qi and Yan were indeed frightened by Lu Zhejun at that time and the current Han army, but it did not reach the point where they peed their pants as soon as the Han army appeared, and how could Qi, Yan, and Zhao invest so much manpower and material resources that Ji Bu led the army to frighten Qi, Yan, and Zhao to stop and continue to march as soon as they showed their faces?

The allied forces of Qi, Yan, and Zhao sent envoys to leave another 150,000 troops for fear of accidents, and the rest of the troops rushed straight to Sui County without dividing their troops, and this time they encountered resistance from the Qin army.

Ji Bu was not dissatisfied when he saw that he had not succeeded in deterring the allied forces of Qi, Yan, and Zhao from moving forward, wasn't Qi, Yan, and Zhao so frightened that they left 150,000 when there was a shortage of troops? At that moment, not only Ji Bu, but also the vanity of all the soldiers of the Han army was greatly satisfied, after all, it was Qi, Yan, and Zhao who thought that only three soldiers could match the combat strength of a Han army.

The envoy sent by the King of Qi asked Ji Bu why he was leading his army close to the war zone, and of course Ji Bu couldn't just say that he was here to scare people into buying time for the Qin army or dragging down some of the coalition forces. Ji Bu's answer was that the Han army had been invited by both the Wei and Han kings to ensure that the wars between Qi, Yan, Zhao, and Qin would not be repeated in Wei and Korean soils as they had done last time.

As soon as the envoy of Qi heard Ji Bu's answer, he was immediately embarrassed, the last time they fought was in the territory of Wei Korea, to be honest, it was indeed a very trampling on the dignity of other countries. The last time they dared to fight on the territory of Wei and Han, they actually didn't take Lu Zhe very seriously, and even ignored the feelings of Wei and Korea.

Since that hunting was beaten all over the ground to find teeth, Qi, Yan, and Zhao dared to despise Wei Han as always, but they never dared to despise Lu Zhe (Han State) anymore. The route chosen by the coalition forces this time was closer to the territory of Wei and Han, but they had already ordered the officers and men of the coalition forces not to set foot on the territory of Wei and Han.

Although it is clear that things are not so simple, the reason given by Ji Bu is impeccable, and the envoy of Qi can only go back to tell him in a gloomy manner, as for the advice of the Han army, he didn't do anything at all, after all, the Han army is close to the war zone, but the location of the camp is Wei Han soil, what reason do they have to let the Han army leave? In this way, it is inevitable that the coalition forces will leave 150,000 troops to ensure that there will be no accidents.

Naturally, it is impossible for the 450,000 allied troops to arrive at the battlefield in Sui County, the capital of Dang County, at the same time, and the Qin army in Sui County was the first to break out of battle with Tian Heng's former army, and the 50,000 Qi army encountered 30,000 Qin troops in Suishui, ten miles away from Sui County, and both sides did not hesitate to attack as soon as they found each other, and a total of 80,000 soldiers had been fighting until Zang Di approached with the Yan army, and the Qin army took the lead in leaving the battlefield and was terminated.

After Zang Di finally arrived at the battlefield with the Yan army, he saw the river beach full of corpses, and he was a little dumbfounded when he found Tian Heng and asked. It turned out that the 50,000 Qi army was beaten extremely miserably against the 30,000 Qin army led by Su Jiao, and Tian Heng himself was almost killed by Su Jiao if he hadn't seen the opportunity quickly.

The first time it was intercepted by the Qin army, the forward of the Qi army led by Tian Heng was a little head after the retreat of the Qin army, and less than 20,000 of the original 50,000 soldiers remained, and the casualties could be counted after cleaning up the battlefield, that is, more than 3,000 Qin troops were killed, more than 12,000 people were killed in battle, more than 7,000 people were seriously injured, and the rest were missing.

According to Tian Heng's description, the Qin army's fierce battle was far beyond the Qin unification period, and often the Qin army would definitely drag a person to accompany the funeral even if it was about to die, as long as it had a strength, and the soldiers of the Qi army were not suitable for such a battle at all, and the battle loss ratio between the two sides was the result that Zang Tu saw.

Tian Heng's encounter with Su Jiao's volley was only the first case, and after that, the Qin army also appeared in all directions, and the combined forces of Qi, Yan, and Zhao distributed to a range of about thirty miles encountered the enemy everywhere, and the previous initiative was gone, and at that moment they realized that they were missing the 150,000 troops who were guarding against the possible surprise attack of the Han army, and they actually found that the army was not enough!
