The Qin army took the initiative to withdraw its troops and let go of Jingchengsai, but of course the acting army would not be polite, so the soldiers occupied Jingchengsai without blood. And because the Qin army retreated in a hurry, although the supplies and military supplies and other items were taken away, the camps, tents, and built fortifications and other fixed facilities were too late to dismantle or destroy, and they were basically retained as they were, but for the Dai army, these fixed facilities were all in use. Because after occupying Jingcheng Fortress, the Dai army will definitely be stationed here for a long time, so it saves a lot of construction effort.

Three days later, Gao Yuan and the others led the generals and the army to enter Jingchengsai. Returning to Jingchengsai, Gao Yuan, Li Yinghong, Yuan Xuan, Zhao Xuan and others couldn't help but have mixed feelings and full of feelings, because six years ago, they were defeated from here and fled to Daijun to settle down, and now they have finally recaptured Daijun, and they have all returned to the starting point.

And the scenery of Jingcheng is still the same, including the military camp built by the Qin army, and many of them are directly using the architectural layout left by the Zhao army, but more than six years have passed, it is no longer a thing, Li Mu, who led the Zhao army to resist the Qin army here, has already done the ancient, but now the plateau has risen, and it can completely replace Li Mu's position, and even do better than Li Mu. After all, Li Mu's ability was limited to the military aspect, and he was greatly restricted by the royal family of the Zhao State; Gao Yuan not only has considerable achievements in administration, governance, diplomacy, etc., but the most important thing is that the current Daijun is completely independent, and he can show his strength as he wishes, without being controlled by others, so everyone also feels that it is much more comfortable than when Li Mu was there.

In addition, everyone is also thinking about a question in their hearts, that is, after recovering Jingcheng, is the next goal to recover Handan, and then restore the entire Zhao region? Although everyone knows that now the Qin army has concentrated the remaining forces and retreated to Handan, coupled with the thick walls of Handan City, it is of course not easy to capture Handan, but now the Dai army has just defeated the Qin army, and the morale is booming, and after the two roads are combined, the total strength can exceed 250,000 people, and more importantly, now the whole army has an almost blind belief in the plateau, after all, before the start of this war, no one would have expected that the Dai army would be able to achieve such heavy results. Therefore, the whole army believed that there must be a way for the plateau to be able to capture Handan.

In fact, Gao Yuan's heart also wants to capture Handan, because the reason is very simple, if Handan can be captured, then it will basically be able to recover the old land of Zhao, so that the land of Yan and Zhao will be enough to fight against Qin. Originally, if the Qin army was resolutely stationed in Jingcheng, the plateau would have more room to exert itself, and it could take the opportunity to capture Jingcheng to eliminate the living force of the Qin army, and create favorable conditions for the next step in capturing Handan; Second, you can lead the army to encircle Jingcheng without fighting, contain the Qin army, let Sima Shang lead the army to attack Handan, and then take Jingcheng after capturing Handan.

But the Qin army gave up the well, 120,000 horses all retreated to Handan, although the army of the generation did not get the Jingcheng plug without blood, but the Qin army was able to preserve a considerable vitality, now the defenders of Handan as many as nearly 200,000, plus the city of Handan is thick and thick, easy to defend and difficult to defend, so the plateau is not absolutely sure to capture Handan.

Of course, this does not mean that the plateau has completely given up the plan to capture Handan, because now the plateau still has a certain opportunity, that is, Daijun has arranged a lot of spy personnel in Handan City, plus some local heroes in Handan, and the clans of Zhao are not willing to be ruled by Qin, and they have always been secretly connected with Daijun, so if the spy personnel can mobilize the powerful clan of Handan City and organize it, then the inside and outside should be combined, that is, the method of capturing Jijing will be used, and it is not uncertain.

However, although it is simple to say, it is a highly technical job. Although the army used this trick to raid Jijing successfully, it began to be carefully planned and prepared in seven or eight months, or even a year ago, not only stationed a large number of personnel to lurk, but also prepared a lot of weapons and armor, and conducted some special training. However, Handan was a temporary idea, and it is difficult to say whether a perfect plan can be formulated and implemented well in a short period of time, and although Daijun also has a lot of spies in Handan, most of them are responsible for collecting intelligence and finding out information, and they are not prepared to launch a surprise attack. Although there are many powerful clans in Handan City who support Daijun, they are all scattered, and it is difficult to organize them in a short period of time. In addition, Qin Jun has suffered a loss, and it is difficult to say whether he will be fooled again this time.

Therefore, after Gao Yuan was stationed in Jingcheng, he ordered the whole army to rest in Jingcheng; On the one hand, he asked Zhao Xuan to immediately contact the Jinyi guards lurking in Handan City to see if the measures that the Qin army had done in Handan City would have any impact on the plan of the army to carry out internal and external attacks; At the same time, he ordered someone to inform Sima Shang and Chen Shi, asking them to rush to Jingcheng immediately, and everyone discussed the next plan together.

Sima Shang and Chen Shi successfully raided Jijing, and then defeated the Qin army in the pursuit, and the army was stationed on the north bank of Yishui, but did not rush to cross Yishui and attack south. On the one hand, it is because after a series of fierce battles, the troops are relatively tired and need a certain amount of time to repair; On the other hand, the losses of the Dai army itself were not small, the combat attrition reached nearly 20,000 people, and the capture of a large area also required a certain number of troops to garrison, so if you want to cross the Yishui River to the south, the troops are somewhat insufficient, and you need to reinforce some troops.

After more than ten days of repair, the 50,000 troops from Daijun also arrived in Jijing and joined the army, at this time the time was ripe to cross the Yishui to the south, Sima Shang and Chen Shi assigned men and horses, stationed in various parts of the Yan realm, and then led 80,000 horses to cross the Yishui and attack south.

Although it dragged on for more than ten days, after the Dai army crossed the Yishui, there was still no obstacle. It turned out that after the defeat of the Qin army, Yang Duanhe and Wang Ben led the remnants of the army to retreat to Wusui on the south bank of Yishui, but because the Qin army had lost too many troops before, although the two of them recruited some remnants of the army and mobilized some local defenders, but their subordinates only had more than 10,000 men, and the real combatable soldiers were only six or seven thousand.

Although the two also sent people to the direction of Jing Cheng for help, but because at this time the Qin army on the front line of Jing Cheng had been defeated by the Dai army, Jing Cheng was also in danger, Han Teng and Meng Wu were considering giving up Jing Cheng and retreating to Handan, of course, they were not able to send troops to reinforce Yang Duanhe and Wang Ben, so Meng Wu wrote a letter to the two of them, explaining the situation on the front line of Jing Cheng and unable to send reinforcements, on the contrary, they also persuaded the two to abandon the south bank of Yishui and retreat to Handan to join forces.

After receiving the letter from Han Teng and Meng Wu, Yang Duanhe had no reaction, but Wang Ben was so angry that he stomped his feet and beat his chest, because in Wang Ben's view, giving up Jingcheng and retreating to Handan is clearly the act of fearing the army and abandoning the land to avoid war, and Han Teng and Meng Wu themselves want to escape, and they also wrote a letter to persuade themselves to flee with them, which is really hateful, which means giving up all the places in the northeast of Handan, so Wang Ben in a fit of anger, will Han Teng and Meng Wu's letter, and then reorganize the people and horses, ready to defend Wusui, desperately protected the defense line on the south bank of Yishui, but Yang Duanhe couldn't resist him, so he had to sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman.

In fact, Wang Ben is also proficient in the art of war, not that he does not understand, now the Qin army has no ability to resist the Dai army, but since Wang Ben joined the army, he has never suffered a major setback, and he has also developed his thinking of using troops has always been brave to attack, instinctively refusing to retreat, because it retreats without a fight, and Wang Jian died, which also made Wang Ben full of resentment towards the Dai army, and only wanted to mobilize troops, fight a decisive battle with the Dai army, and avenge Wang Jian, so it also affected Wang Ben's correct judgment.

The result can be imagined, the 80,000 troops of the Dai army crossed Yishui in good spirits and high morale, and launched an attack on Wusui. Although Wang Ben was very determined and wanted to desperately protect the defense line on the south bank of Yishui, there were only 10,000 remnants left, and it was impossible to resist the attack of the Dai army, and he was defeated by the Dai army, and Wang Ben also wanted to defend the defense line on the south bank of Yishui, but he was pulled by Yang Duan and Lian to take Wang Ben away and evacuate the battlefield.

After seizing Wusui, the Dai army took advantage of the situation to advance south, all the way like a bamboo, successively captured Gaoyang, Anping, Yi'an, Fenglong, Shangyuan and other places, Zhao's Dongyang County and Julu County were recovered by the Dai army, pointing to the north of Jingcheng, wanting to cut off the system between Jingcheng and Handan. Yang Duanhe and Wang Ben could only flee all the way to Julu, about twenty miles northeast of Handan, and at this time the army led by the two was less than a thousand.

Fortunately, Han Teng obeyed Mengwu's Jianyi and withdrew his troops from Jingcheng at the very time, so he was not intercepted by Sima Shang and Chen Shi's army, and successfully retreated to Handan, and Sima Shang's army advanced to Lincheng Xiazhai about 70 miles away from the north of Handan, and built fortifications to prepare for the next attack on Handan, and the war between the two sides came to an end temporarily.

In desperation, Yang Duanhe and Wang Ben had no choice but to come to Handan, join Han Teng and Meng Wu, and prepare to hold on to Handan and resist the Dai army.

After receiving the order from the plateau, Sima Shang and Chen Shi left the army to garrison in Lincheng, and the two rushed back to Jingcheng overnight to meet the plateau.

After coming to Jingcheng, Sima Shang and Chen Shi were also warmly welcomed by the plateau, because in this battle, the two did make great contributions, raiding Jijing, pursuing the Qin army, crossing Yishui, and seizing a large area of land in succession, although they were implementing the plan of the plateau, and on the front line of Jingcheng, the plateau also attracted a large number of troops of the Qin army, but the two of them were really indispensable. At the same time, a sumptuous banquet was arranged to entertain the two, and it was also to celebrate the victory of the previous stage of the army.

However, the two rushed to Jingcheng, not to eat and drink, but to make a plan to attack Handan as much as possible, and immediately launched an attack on Handan.

However, at the banquet, Gao Yuan also mentioned the attack on Handan, of course, all the generals could understand that at this kind of celebratory banquet, it was indeed not an occasion to talk about military affairs, so it was not too late to talk about it after the banquet was over.

After the banquet was over, for three days, Gao Yuan did not gather all the generals to meet to discuss the affairs of attacking Handan, so the generals also felt a little strange and did not understand what was going on.
