From the beginning of the fight to conquer the world

Chapter 208 Untitled
Winning two countries in succession, Li Chenfeng's action scared many people in this world.

Today's Wei State, after obtaining the land and population of Yan State and Qi State, has become the veritable largest country in the late Warring States period.

After the war ended, Li Chenfeng immediately selected 50 young men from all the Qi and Wei armies in the name of a general to fill them into the army, and all the others were sent back to their hometowns.

In the next six months, Li Chenfeng deployed 30 soldiers on the border between Wei and Chu, while trying to digest the war resources obtained from the two countries.

As for the war between Qin and Zhao, Li Chenfeng had already made up his mind to be a spectator.

In March of the second year of Zhao Wangqian, the Qin State sent an additional 15 troops to Shangdang County to wipe out the rebel army Chengyu's troops, and collected [-] remnants. Then, under the command of General Wang Jian of the Qin State, the [-] troops went straight from the east of the river to the east. party.

Zhao Wangqian hurriedly dispatched Sima Shang to the north who was resisting Meng Wu and Li Xin with Li Mu to go south to resist, but he didn't want Wang Jian to order Qin general Yang Duanhe to divide his troops to attack Langmeng and Panwu. The Zhao army suffered heavy losses and had to retreat to the capital Handan.

It was also in this year that Zhao Guo encountered severe drought, the country was short of food, and people's hearts were fluctuating...

After stabilizing the situation in the occupied area, Qin State immediately transferred its troops to Handan, and sent troops to attack Zhao State from two directions one month later, taking advantage of Zhao State's famine.

General Wang Jian led the Qin army's elite army, Qiang general Qiang Yan led a total of 25 Qiang soldiers out of Jingxing; Qin general Yang Duanhe led his troops out of Langmeng, crossed Maling, and attacked Handan from the west and north.

Zhao Wangqian could only send Li Mu and Sima Shang to lead the army to resist.Li Mu still adopted the policy of building fortifications and avoiding hasty decisive battles, which made the Qin army invincible repeatedly and formed a stalemate.

Wang Jian, who had been unable to attack for a long time, knew that King Zhao had been asking for help from the state of Wei. In order to avoid accidents after a long time, he took advantage of Zhao Wangqian's mediocrity and ignorance, and his favored minister Guo Kai's weakness of greed for money and profit, and jealousy of talents and abilities, and used countermeasures to separate Li Muhe. The relationship between Zhao Wangqian.

Zhao Wangqian originally hated Li Mu because he supported Zhao Jia, the abolished prince, and finally listened to the slander, so he ordered Zhao Cong and Yan Ju to replace Li Mu and Sima Shang as generals.

Li Mu knew very well that the state of Zhao was at a critical moment, so he refused to accept the order.The angry Zhao Wangqian directly ordered Li Mu to be executed...

Seeing this, Sima Shang immediately persuaded Li Mu to obey the king's order, which made Zhao Qian put away his murderous intentions, and finally just took the two of them into custody in Handan.

Of course, it's not that Zhao Wangqian was reluctant to kill them, but because Li Mu managed the army well, cared for his subordinates, lived and fought with officers and soldiers in the border defense for many years, and was quite popular among soldiers. If he killed them, it would probably cause a mutiny, so It can only be temporarily detained until the siege of Handan is lifted.

But what he didn't know was that it was a big taboo for military strategists to change generals just before the battle. Now that Li Mu and Sima Shang were being imprisoned at the same time, the army's morale was instantly slackened and there was no fighting spirit.

In June of the second year of Zhao Wangqian, Wang Jian's army took advantage of the momentum to attack, defeated Zhao Jun in one fell swoop, killed Zhao Cong, and occupied Dongyang.Yan Ju was afraid of fleeing, and because he was afraid of being punished by King Zhao, he went south and joined the Wei State garrison in Hanoi County.

When Li Chenfeng got the news, Wang Jian's 30 troops had already surrounded Handan like an iron barrel, and it was only a matter of time before the city was broken.

On June [-]th, Wang Jian and Qiang Yan led an army to attack Handan and captured Zhao Wangqian.None of the Zhao clan was spared, and even Zhao Jia, the deposed prince who had fled with his clan to Daicheng and established himself as king in history, became a prisoner of Qin State...

After the demise of the Zhao Kingdom, apart from the 15 Zhao troops led by Yan Ju who fled and the veteran Pang Nuan who guarded the border of Yanzhao, the other hundreds of thousands of Zhao troops either fled into the mountains or were killed by the Qin army. The original national strength was strong In just a few months, the population of the Zhao Kingdom dropped by half...

Even Li Chenfeng, who already claimed to be used to seeing life and death, couldn't help but twitched in his heart when he heard this number.

Sure enough, every battle to destroy the country is a huge meat grinder...

On this point, Li Chenfeng felt that he had done a pretty good job, neither Qi nor Yan encountered too much resistance, so this also indirectly saved the population of these two places from a large-scale reduction.

However, the fiercer the fight between Qin and Zhao, the more beneficial it would be for Li Chenfeng now, so after he got the news that Handan City was broken, he launched the war against Qin without hesitation!

Li Chenfeng personally led the generals Sima Kai and Mei Sanniang, and led an army of 25 out of Jicheng. Dianqing, who was originally guarding Yique, was transferred back by Li Chenfeng. In the past, the Xuanwu army gathered Wei's only 30 troops out of Hanoi, and attacked and wiped out all Qin troops in Zhao from the north and south.

When Wei's army moved, Qin Wang Yingzheng, who was still happy to destroy Zhao in Xianyang, was taken aback.

No matter Qin King Yingzheng or Prime Minister Li Si, no one in the state of Qin thought that the state of Wei could mobilize such a huge force.

You must know that Wei Guo is still on the Wei-Chu border with 30 soldiers!
In addition, now that Zhao State has been destroyed, South Korea has almost become a vassal of Wei State, so the 30 coalition forces in Yique City are actually almost the same as Wei State's army.

If calculated in this way, the army that Wei Guo can use now exceeds one million!
And what about Qin?

Even if the army in central Shu is counted, the army of Qin now does not exceed 60.

As for Wang Jian's 30 people, facing the two sides of the Wei army, there was no chance of winning at all. Thinking of this, Ying Zheng quickly sent someone to send a message to Wang Jian, telling him to retreat immediately!
But Ying Zheng was worried about this for nothing.

Wang Jian was able to achieve the position of general, and fought hundreds of battles in his life. He still has this insight. Before the Wei army surrounded him, he had already ordered the troops to abandon Handan City, and then headed west all the way without looking back. I ran to Shangdang...

In this way, Li Chenfeng conquered all the territory of Zhao State to the east of Taihang Mountain without any effort, and then the two sides fell into a confrontation with Taihang Mountain as the boundary.

At this time, the territory of the entire Wei State has already occupied half of the entire Kyushu in the world. Whether it is population, food, war horses, or even various metal minerals, it can be said that it has far surpassed the Qin State in terms of war potential.

At this time, Qin and Wei are like two giants standing in this world, each with a gun and a shield, ready to fight a life-and-death struggle at any time.

But before that, these two giants will take the lead in killing the fat pig next to them, and then use their skills to snatch more meat, so that they can eat enough to prepare for the upcoming war.

In this way, the two families agreed to divide the southern state of Chu...
