Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

At this time, another bad news came, the Qin people were very close to Suiyang City.

In order not to allow the people of Qin to reap the benefits of fishing, Zhao Dan made a decision at Lian Po's request to temporarily abandon the attack on the Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms outside Suiyang City.

The battle situation has thus entered a confrontational state.

Three days later, the 15 Qin army finally arrived outside Suiyang City under the leadership of Wang Lu, and successfully joined forces with other Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms.

So far, the situation on the Suiyang battlefield has changed again, forming a situation where the 45 troops of the Allied Forces of the Four Nations face the main force of the Zhao State with 35 troops.

As a result, the Allied Forces of the Four Nations not only overtook them in an instant, but also surpassed Zhao Guo by 10 people.

After the arrival of the Qin army, the coalition forces, which had been unable to shrink back, finally became active. They even tried to send some small troops to launch some tentative attacks on the Zhao army's defense line, hoping to see if they could achieve any results. .

However, the fighting power of Zhao's main force in the past so many years is not exaggerated. The four-nation coalition's several tentative attacks were all fought back by Zhao's soldiers without any effort.

After going on and on like this, the Allied Forces of the Four Nations did not even carry out such a small attack, and just confronted Zhao Jun like this, and the whole battlefield fell into a strange calm.

For the Allied Forces of the Four Nations, they are actually not in a hurry at all, because according to the prior plan, they are still waiting for another very important Allied Forces, that is, the 15 Qi Army led by Qi Kuangliang to come to join .

Once the 15 Qi army led by Kuang Liang can arrive in time, then the five-nation coalition will have a total of 60 people. Even facing Zhao's 35 elite main force, they will have an overwhelming numerical advantage.

But Zhao Guo is actually not in a hurry, because it is not easy for Qi people to come to Suiyang City. After all, Pang Nuan has already led [-] Zhao troops to Hejian.

Different from the main force in Suiyang City, most of the [-] Zhao troops led by Pang Nuan were soldiers from various counties and young men recruited temporarily. There were only [-] central troops drawn from Handan. Not too much.

But I have to say that there is indeed a reason for Pang Nuan to be called a famous general.Even leading such an army that was far behind the Qi army in terms of combat effectiveness and numbers, Pang Nuan still successfully dragged the Qi people to Hejian.

For half a month, the Qi army under the leadership of Kuang Liang launched several attacks on Yangjin City guarded by Pang Nuan, but they failed to make any breakthrough at all, and were firmly blocked in the north of Onozawa, unable to go south. Even one step.

On the northeast battlefield of Zhao State, the 12 Yan army marched southward like a broken bamboo, conquered cities including Wusui and Zhongren very quickly, occupied all the land of Zhao State north of the Tang River, and further crossed the Tang River Surrounded Gucheng, an important town in the north of Zhao State.

Regarding this point, Zhao Dan was not very worried, after all, it was something that could be expected in advance.

Moreover, in Gucheng, there are also [-] Zhao troops led by Ju Xin defending. Although the Yan people have surrounded Gu Cheng, Zhao Dan believes that with Ju Xin's ability, it is impossible to hold Gu Cheng for at least a few months. what's the problem.

The state of Qi was unable to advance westward, the state of Yan was blocked from moving southward, and the outside of Suiyang was peaceful. The whole war seemed to have reached a deadlock.

In Zhao Guo's Suiyang camp, there was a very intense quarrel over how to resolve this impasse.

Some generals of the State of Zhao believed that they should take the initiative to attack before the people of Qi came to meet up, and fight with the Allied Forces of the Four Nations in front of them. As long as they can defeat the Allied Forces of the Four Nations outside Suiyang City, they will win It is in the pocket of Zhao Guo.

But there are also some other Zhao Guo generals who expressed firm opposition to this view.

These opponents think that in any case, the current military strength and combat effectiveness of Zhao State are at a disadvantage in any battlefield, and Suiyang City is the most important. Once the attack is defeated, then Zhao State will be completely defeated. There is no room for turning around.

Therefore, the opponents feel that Zhao Guo only needs to maintain the current situation and prevent the Six Nations Allied Forces from making any progress.

As long as they can hold on for a few more months, when winter comes, the Allied Forces of the Six Nations will definitely not be able to bear it and will retreat on their own.

These two opinions have their own supporters in Zhao Guo's camp and even Zhao Guo's high-level officials. The constant quarrel between the two factions makes Zhao Dan, the king, very upset.

According to the usual practice, I finally came to ask Zhao Dan for his opinion.

But this time, after thinking for a long time, Zhao Dan did not give any opinion, but said: "Wu Xinjun is the main general of the army this time, and any matter related to the war should be based on Wu Xinjun's order. result."

Zhao Dan's personal expedition this time does not mean that he is about to take command.On the contrary, Zhao Dan knew that although he was a time traveler, he knew nothing about commanding operations.

Zhao Dan is actually here to be a mascot this time to boost morale. The war has to be done by a professional like Lian Po. After all, when it comes to the professional level of war, apart from Li Mu, there is absolutely no one in Zhao Guozhong now. No one can wrestle with Lian Po anymore.

As for Lian Po's defeat in battle, Zhao Dan didn't think it was a bad thing.

The more you win, the easier it is to be proud and complacent. After experiencing a failure, Lian Po must have learned his lesson and held his breath to prove himself again. Compared with the previous Lian Po, Lian Po will not let everyone in the world In his eyes, Lian Po was even more terrifying.

The reason why Lian Po didn't open his mouth at the beginning was because he was afraid that his own opinion would conflict with that of the great king Zhao Dan. Now that the great king Zhao Dan has confirmed that he will completely hand over the command to Lian Po, Lian Po will naturally no longer be polite. , directly made a decision to hold the position and avoid the battle temporarily.

Lian Po believes that the Allied Forces of the Four Nations outside Suiyang City have just joined forces not long ago, and are in a period of high morale. In terms of momentum, the Allied Forces must beat Zhao Guo, after all, four against one.

But as long as time drags on, the vigor of the Allied Forces of the Six Nations will gradually decrease, and the soldiers of Zhao State, who were originally under great pressure, will find that there are many enemies on the opposite side, but in fact they have nothing to do with themselves. At that time, the period of Zhao Guo soldiers naturally slowly rose.

As a result, the morale between the two sides ebbed and flowed, and the hope of Zhao Guo's victory naturally increased greatly.

Zhao Dan expressed his unconditional support for Lian Po's judgment.

In fact, to be honest, Zhao Dan's thinking is exactly the same as Lian Po's, that is, he should really avoid fighting at this time.

But Zhao Dan's starting point and reason are completely different from Lian Po's. Lian Po's consideration is from the aspect of morale, while Zhao Dan's reason is purely because of one person, who is still thousands of miles away at this moment. Li Mu, the northern economic envoy of Zhao State who entered the territory of Qin State.

Zhao Dan is waiting for Li Mu to make some earth-shattering events in Guanzhong, in the hinterland of the Qin people, and Zhao Dan has great confidence in Li Mu.

Chapter 774 Li Mu Has His Own Claims (Second Change)

What is Li Mu doing now?

At this time, Li Mu had actually just gathered his [-] cavalry soldiers to the territory of Yiqu Kingdom, and joined forces with Yiqu Sheng, the king of Yiqu Kingdom.

For this big battle, Li Mu has also come out in full force, gathering all the troops that can be used in the entire northern army.

In addition to the [-] cavalry in Yiqu Sheng's hands, Li Mu now has a total of [-] cavalry.

For the cavalry, [-] is definitely a considerable number. You must know that the entire Zhao State Frontier Cavalry Corps is only a total of [-] cavalry.

Because the border of Zhao State is too long, thousands of miles from west to east, Li Mu had to keep 2 horses to stay in Zhao State in order to guard against the invasion of Wusun and Huns from the northwest.

This is why Li Mu has been eager to expand. In fact, let alone 2 people, it is impossible for 4 people to defend this long border. The only way out is to replace defense with offense.

When Yi Qusheng saw Li Mu, he was very happy. He first gave Li Mu a big hug, and then smiled at Li Mu who was frowning and kept touching his nose: "My old friend Li Mu, Once again, this king can fight side by side with you!"

Of course, there is a reason for Yiqu Sheng's joy. You must know that before that, the Qin people sent a large army to conquer Yiqu country. For the mighty Qin State, the Yiqu State is ridiculously weak.

But now it’s all right, Qin State didn’t know which muscle went wrong, and even had a war with Zhao State where Li Mu was located. In this way, Yiqu State and Zhao State became allies, and Yiqu’s victory would naturally be guaranteed. I got the chance to fight side by side with Li Mu.

In Yi Qusheng's memory, every time he hung out with Li Mu, he made a lot of money, and he never lost.

Such a thick thigh must be hugged tightly!

That's right, who said that Zhao Guo is the enemy of the whole world?This king's Yiqu country is Zhao's most staunch ally!

Li Mu glanced at Yi Qusheng in front of him, and couldn't help shaking his head.

Li Mu is naturally very clear about Yi Qusheng's mood, but Li Mu is not as optimistic as Yi Qusheng.

Because Li Mu understands very well what kind of threat his own king and Handan, the capital of the State of Zhao, are facing on the battlefield in the Central Plains. That is the combined total of more than 60 troops from the six kingdoms, and they are from the three directions of Zhao State, northeast and south at the same time. What a crazy attack on Zhao Guo.

Although Qin State also dispatched 60 soldiers and horses in the Battle of Changping that year, the 60 troops of Qin State were not like the Six Nations Allied Forces this time, all of them were composed of the main force.

Through the information obtained during this period, Li Mu clearly knew that Qin's main force had left Hangu Pass eastward, and was going to the Central Plains battlefield to fight with Zhao's main force.

Under such circumstances, Guanzhong, the headquarters of the Qin State, inevitably became a very empty place.
