However, the Qin army prepared for four or five days in a row, demolished all the houses a hundred steps by the city wall, and moved the residents to other parts of the city, which really took a lot of effort. However, the Hezong army did not attack Daliang City again.

Wang Ben's heart was also suspicious, I didn't understand what was going on, I sent someone to inquire, and the result was that the Hezong army was still carrying stones around, Wang Ben estimated that the Hezong army might want to wait for the follow-up of the Han army to all arrive, and then launch a full-scale attack on Daliang City, because it is said that the follow-up Han army brought a hundred lightning vehicles, as soon as he thought of this, Wang Ben felt shuddering, but now the Hezong army does not attack Daliang, Wang Ben does not dare to fight lightly, so he can only stand still in Daliang City.

And at this time, Wang Ben received a message from Xianyang, it turned out that Qin Wangzheng received Wang Ben's urgency, and was also shocked, because the battle plan formulated by Qin to resist the Hezong army was mainly to rely on the strong city defense of Daliang City, once Daliang was lost, Qin State would face the danger of losing Zhao, Wei and Han, so Qin Wangzheng couldn't sit still, so he discussed with the ministers, and decided to leave Fusu in Xianyang to supervise the country, supported by Prime Minister Wang Xuan, and led other civil and military officials to Daliang to supervise the battle.

It is normal for the monarch to go to the front line to supervise the battle in this era, because the monarch's presence on the battlefield can not only boost the morale of the whole army, but also make decisions on the battlefield and improve efficiency. At the time of the Battle of Changping, King Qin Zhaoxiang personally rushed to Hanoi County (now Qinyang, Henan and nearby areas) to supervise the war, and crowned the local people with the title of first-class, and recruited young adults over the age of 15 to gather on the Changping battlefield to intercept Zhao's reinforcements and grain transportation, it can be said that Qin State was able to finally win the Battle of Changping, and King Qin Zhaoxiang personally came to the battlefield to supervise the battle, which was also an important factor. Therefore, the king of Qin wanted to go to Daliang to supervise the battle, and the ministers of Qin did not stop him, but just sent people to Daliang to prepare Wang Ben to meet Qin Wangzheng and his party.

After Wang Ben received the notice, he didn't dare to be careless, and immediately ordered to clean up the original Wei palace in Daliang City, and prepared to live for Qin Wangzheng, and at this time, he naturally didn't dare to go to war.

It's just that Wang Ben didn't expect that in fact, the plateau was not in the camp of the Hezong army outside Daliang City at this time.

It turned out that on the first day of the Hezong army's attack on Daliang City, 70,000 troops from Chu had arrived, and in Dazhai of the Hezong Army outside Daliang City, the plateau also received the news that 100,000 reinforcements from the Qin army had arrived in Daliang.

At this time, after the battle some time ago, the Hezong Army did cause great pressure on the Qin army, and attracted the attention of the Qin State to Daliang City, and also allowed the Qi army to establish the confidence that it could confront the Qin army, and also built strong fortifications, and in the past few days, the Hezong army has indeed been carrying stones, on the one hand, it is to confuse the Qin army, so that the Qin army thinks that the Hezong army is preparing for the attack on Daliang, and on the other hand, it is also to use these stones to strengthen the defense force of the Hezong army Dazhai, in fact, it kills two birds with one stone.

At this time, the operational objectives of the first stage of the plan set by the plateau to attack Qin were basically achieved, so the plateau decided to immediately start the next stage of the plan, that is, to officially start the implementation of the tactics of dividing and attacking Qin, which is the real goal of the plateau.

So Gao Yuan immediately invited Tian Kezang, Zhong Xuanxiao, Chun Yubo, Zhang Liang and others to discuss.

Because this is a tactic that has been determined before the troops are dispatched, Tian Kezhang and Zhong Xuanyu have no objection to this, and for a period of time, Tian Kezhang has been following the plateau, watching how the plateau arranges the troops, directs the battle, and also asks the plateau for many ways to use the troops.

Tian Kezang's father is Tian Dan, a famous general of Qi State, so it can be regarded as the queen of the general, when Tian Dan was alive, he taught Tian Kezhang some art of war, and Tian Kezhang also read a lot of war books and war books, talking about the art of war is the head of the way, but lack of actual combat experience. Although the time between the Hezong Army and the Qin Army has not been long until now, the two sides have really fought a few battles, and Tian Kezhang participated in the whole process, and he has the words and deeds of the plateau, so he has learned a lot from the middle to the middle, and like the Qi army, he is no longer the Lainiao when he first sent out the army.

Now the 300,000 Qi troops have all been gathered, and there are about 200,000 Qi troops stationed in the Dazhai of the Hezong Army, and the other armies are distributed at the key points from Daliang to Taoyi to protect the logistics transportation and supply line of the Hezong Army. In addition, there are 70,000 Chu troops, and although the plateau left Daliang Dazhai, it only took away the cavalry, and the army left behind was more than 30,000 people, including all the lightning vehicles, even if it was the army stationed in Dazhai, it was not less than 300,000. At this time, the number of Qin troops stationed in Daliang was about 2.67 million, so the strength of the combined column army was absolutely sufficient.

And the plateau is like Tian Kezang assured that this time he left Daliang and attacked Handan, at most three months, at least two months, he must be able to capture Handan, and then the Chu State will attack from the south, and the Qin army will probably take the initiative to give up Daliang, so the Qi army will only use it in Daliang and the Qin army for three months at most. With the current state of the Qi army, this is not a difficult task.

So Gao Yuan immediately handed over all the military affairs of the Hezhong Army to Tian Kezang for management, and at the same time, Gao Yuan instructed Tian Kezhang and Zhong Xuanyu that there was no need to attack Daliang, as long as Dazhai was guarded. In addition, Gao Yuan also imagined several ways to deal with the story, and explained Tian Kezang and Zhong Xuanzi in detail one by one. And the plateau also left more than ten beast training soldiers, to maintain contact with Lingshou's flying birds, once there is a danger, it will be notified to the plateau in a very timely manner, and Gao Yuan wants to deal with it.

After doing this kind of arrangement, Gao Yuan also thought that there would not be too much of a problem, and he could basically leave Dazhai with confidence, so he took Chun Yubo, Chun Yu Zhongxiu, Zhang Liang, Ling Feng and others, as well as all the cavalry, took advantage of the dark night to quietly leave the Dazhai of the Hezong Army in front of Daliang City and returned to Lingshou.

Because Gao Yuan and the other group were all cavalry, and they hurried along the way, the journey was very fast, and it only took nine days to rush from Daliang to Lingshou. However, this time the plateau returned secretly, without much fanfare, quietly entered Lingshou, and quietly entered the palace with Chunyu Zhongxiu.

Although since the beginning of the Triple Alliance, the plateau has not returned to Lingshou, but basically every day and Lingshou will carry out bird communication and contact, inform the situation of both sides, and give orders to Lingshou, so what happened in Taoyi, Daliang and other places on the plateau, Li Yinghong, who was in charge of Lingshou, and the ministers of the Han State all knew everything, and they were waiting for the plateau to return so that they could attack Handan.

After returning to the palace, Gao Yuan did not alarm the civil and military officials of the Han State, and even did not see other concubines, but was in Li Yinghong's Kunning Palace with Chunyu Zhongxiu, and secretly summoned Ning Qi, Shen Shen, Yuan Xuan, and Zhao Xuan.

After everyone arrived, seeing that the ceremony was finished, Gao Yuan was not polite, and said: "We are about to send troops to attack Handan, how is Lingshou's preparations." ”

Yuan Xuan said: "Hui Yu Wang, a qiē is ready, the Qin and Han borders have secretly gathered 180,000 troops, led by Sima Shang and Jiang Huanwu, and outside Lingshou City, in the name of participating in the joint column, 150,000 troops have been collected, as long as the king gives an order, within three days, the 300,000 troops can all be mobilized, and another 100,000 troops are also ready to be recruited in case of contingencies." ”

Ning Qi said: "The king, he has all kinds of food, grass, materials, and military supplies, which can support about two years, and he has also recruited 200,000 civilian servants, and once the war begins, he can recruit another 400,000 civilian servants within a month, and more than 200,000 donkeys and horses, and more than 20,000 vehicles of various kinds." ”

Gao Yuan nodded and said: "Very good, you have all worked hard, so don't hesitate, start preparing immediately, three days later, the widow will take an army of 100,000 from Lingshou, and inform Sima Shang and Jiang Huanwu." ”

Yuan Xuan and Ning Qi said in unison: "Yes." ”

Gao Yuan turned to Zhao Xuan again and said, "General Zhao, are we ready in Handan City?" ”

Zhao Xuan said: "Don't worry, the king, since the beginning of this year, we have successively sent people to infiltrate Handan in batches under various identities and hide them, a total of about 800 people, and we have more than 500 people in Handan City, so it can add up to more than 1,500 people, and Wu Lie sent back a report, once we launch it in Handan City, he promises to mobilize another 1,000 to 2,000 people, which is enough to help us do the internal response." ”

Gao Yuan said: "There are quite a few people, but how are the weapons and armor prepared, and are they enough?" ”

Zhao Xuan said: "Don't worry, the king has always been collecting weapons and armor in Handan, and now we have about 16,700 sets of armor, more than 200 shields, 300 bows, more than 150 crossbows, more than 20,000 arrows, and more than 100 war horses. ”

After Gao Yuan listened, he was completely relieved, although he was not in Lingshou for nearly three months, but Lingshou's preparations were not relaxed at all, and now Gao Yuan also has absolute confidence that he can conquer Handan in a short time.

At this time, Ning Qi said: "The king secretly returned to China this time, I don't know if he will officially show up?" ”

Gao Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Just three days later, when the widow led the army to the expedition, he officially appeared, and even if the spies of the Qin State knew that the widow had returned, it would be too late. ”

Ning Qi said: "The king thinks about it. Then the ministers resigned themselves to the court and left the palace.

After the ministers left, Li Yinghong said: "Husband came back secretly this time, do you want to sue the other sisters?" ”

Gao Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Since you are back, you must meet them, and they are about to go on an expedition, so call them all to your palace." ”
