Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

After half a day's rapid march, the [-] Zhao army who had gone back and forth launched an attack on the Chu army that had been fighting fiercely for half a day with lightning speed.

The Chu army, whose physical fitness and willpower had reached their limits, was completely unable to resist Zhao Jun's frenzied counterattack, and was immediately defeated.

In just two quarters of an hour, the 20 Chu army retreated across the board, and countless defeated soldiers scattered and fled in all directions.

Behind these defeated soldiers, groups of soldiers from Zhao State were like tigers entering a flock of sheep, chasing and killing them while waving their weapons, driving them towards Chencheng.

Seeing that the situation was not going well, many soldiers of the Chu army dropped their weapons and knelt down on the ground, trembling with fear, and became prisoners.

There was a dead silence above the city of Chencheng. Hundreds of Chu kings and ministers stood there like clay statues. Everyone's face was pale, and they couldn't believe what they saw.

Chu Wangyuan trembled all over, almost fainted, raised his hand tremblingly and wanted to say something, but suddenly staggered and fell directly to the ground.

Standing beside Chu Wangyuan, Huang Xie quickly supported Chu Wangyuan: "Is your lord alright?"

"Widow, widow..." Chu Wangyuan's lips trembled, and he was speechless for a long time.

Huang Xie knew that the situation was urgent at this moment, so he hurriedly shouted: "Come here, Chencheng is about to fall, quickly escort the king and evacuate this place!"

Chapter 561 Bright and dark lines, a mess (first update)

Handan.

"My lord, great victory in Chencheng, great victory in Chencheng!"

The cheers from outside the hall immediately made Zhao Dan and several ministers of Zhao Guo who were discussing in the hall stand up at the same time.

It was obviously just a piece of ordinary paper, but Zhao Dan turned the paper over and over several times, with a smile almost overflowing his face.

Under the careful design of Lian Po and others, the monarch and ministers of Chu State were finally fooled and left the city rashly. Then they suffered a big loss in the field battle and were defeated by Lian Po. 10 people.

In addition, Lian Po also took advantage of the victory to march, and completely captured Chencheng, which had not been captured for two months, from the Chu people in one fell swoop.

Good news, out-and-out, good news that makes people feel happy!

The only thing that makes Zhao Dan feel a little pity is that Chu Wang Yuan and many important officials of Chu State including Chun Shenjun Huang Xie are missing, and they have apparently fled. Also run successfully.

If Chu Wangyuan could be captured, the result of this battle could not be more perfect.

Although Zhao Jun also paid a heavy price of 3 casualties in this battle, this battle completely defeated the main force of the Chu Army, which is completely worth the money.

After the Battle of Chencheng, the entire Chu State was like a piece of fish on a chopping board to Zhao Dan.

The overall situation in the southern battlefield has been settled so far, and Chu State can no longer turn around.

Zhao Dan let out a long breath, and threw the battle report in his hand to Zhao Sheng, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, to pass it on to other important ministers of Zhao State.

Needless to say, there was a wave of flattery coming, but Zhao Dan was obviously used to it, so he laughed it off.

"Okay, my lords, now that we have finished reading the battle report from Chu State, it is time to continue discussing the next thing."

Zhao Dan said that he paused for a moment here, and then continued: "The widow is going to negotiate peace with Chu, and then let General Lian Po lead his troops back to help Hedong. I don't know what you think?"

Zhao Dan's proposal did not surprise Zhao's ministers.

Judging from the current situation, it is obviously not allowed by Zhao Guo to lose Hedong County.

After all, Qin is well known for its strength and longevity. Once Qin is allowed to take back Hedong, the situation where Qin and Zhao stand side by side will reappear. This is definitely not what Zhao wants to see.

Compared with Qin's resurgence, Chu's really came second.

The reason why it was necessary to wait for Lian Po to break through Chencheng before negotiating peace with the Chu people was also very simple.

If Chencheng is not breached, then the Chu people will definitely not make peace.

Just like five years ago, if Changping did not lose Zhao Guo, there would be no peace meeting.

"Who can travel with me?" Zhao Dan asked.

This time Zhao Dan doesn't plan to call any alliance, although it is really cool to see other monarchs come to see him every time the alliance is held, but no matter how cool it is, it will not solve Qin's problems The problem is more important.

As soon as Zhao Dan's words fell, Zheng Zhu and Yu Xin said at the same time: "I am willing to travel for the king!"

Zhao Dan glanced at Yu Xin, and after a moment of contemplation, he said: "Now that the army is out fighting, Yu Qing, as an internal history, should not leave Handan. This diplomatic matter is already in the hands of the Daxing, so let Zheng Qing go. "

The affairs of Chu State can be temporarily put aside here.

But in this chaotic war, the affairs of Chu State are actually only a part of it.

The envoys sent to the country of Yan also came back, and at the same time they brought back the euphemistic refusal of the people of the country of Yan.

Obviously, this time the Queen Mother Yan did not intend to give face to Zhao Dan, her biological brother, for the benefit of the country of Yan.

"How is the battle between Yan and Zhao?" Zhao Dan asked.

"The Yan army has already occupied all the land north of Linzi, and is now confronting the Qi army under the city of Linzi, and a war may break out at any time."

Zhao Dan snorted: "It seems that Le Jian really has confidence in himself. I want to see if he can inherit his father Le Yi's skills and be able to defeat the army of Qi people!"

To be honest, Zhao Dan was somewhat annoyed.

The Empress Dowager Yan and Le Jian are both from the Zhao country, but now they stand on the opposite side of the Zhao country because of the interests of the Yan country.

Although he knew that what these two people did was understandable, Zhao Dan was still very upset.

What kind of family affection or motherland, to the people of this era, especially the dignitaries of this era, I am afraid that it is not much different from straw paper.

Interest, this damn interest!

Zhao Dan let out a long breath, and decided to put the affairs of Yan State aside.

Originally, the purpose of pulling Qi to fight against Chu was to prevent Chu and Qi from forming an alliance against Zhao. Now that Chu has been defeated, Qi is no longer important to Zhao Dan.

Anyway, it is impossible for the Qi State to send troops all the way to Hedong to help Zhao Dan fight the people of Qin State, isn't it?So let Yan Qi's two mortal enemies fight themselves into a pot of porridge.

The most critical problem to be solved right now is Hedong, or Qin.

"By the way, what's the news from Li Mu's side?" Zhao Dan slapped his thigh, suddenly thinking of his confidant.

After all, Li Mu went deep into the enemy's rear alone, so the transmission of information was quite inconvenient.

So Zhao Dan now only knows that Li Mu intends to attack Liyang according to a certain plan formulated by the previous staff department and Hu Yiwei, but Zhao Dan is really concerned about how far the plan has progressed and whether the result is successful or not. I don't know.

This is the biggest backwardness of this world compared to future generations, the transmission of information is too inconvenient.

Zhao Dan shook his head, gave up his attempt to continue to explore Li Mu's information, and instead asked the most important question at present: "How is the war going on in Hedong County?"

According to Zhao Dan's order, the news of Hedong County must be reported three times a day, and the second report of today should have arrived.
