Since defeating Zhao Jun,
Wei Qing and Zhang Liao led the main force of the Qi army to pursue them all the way to the territory of Zhao.
As for the pass,
There are now 20,000 Qi troops guarding it.
At the same time, he was also responsible for managing more than 80,000 Zhao army prisoners.
As for Han Lin, he originally wanted to go back to Linzi directly.
However, the rewards from the system have not been distributed for a long time.
So we can only continue to stay in the customs.
During this time,
Han Lin, who has nothing to do,
Every day I can only play games with the harem concubines and play in the courtyard.
The unpretentious and boring days passed like this day by day.
Within the territory of Zhao State,
Although the Qi army was fierce and ready to win, they defeated Zhao Kuo again and captured Wucheng.
But it doesn’t stop there.
As reinforcements led by Lian Po arrived in time, Zhao Jun's defeat was stopped.
Let the Qi army stop here.
With the reinforcements from Zhao State, a steady stream of troops were added to the front line.
Zhao Kuo also led his defeated generals and joined forces with Lian Po.
Now the number of Zhao's army has reached 170,000.
On the other hand, Qi Jun,
Only 80,000.
More than twice the strength difference,
In addition, Lian Po's defense was flawless, without any flaws.
Even Wei Qing felt a little headache.
period,
Lian Po also tried to take the initiative, and Wei Qing was able to easily resolve them as expected.
Now,
The two sides directly entered a stalemate stage.
And on the other side,
Two days after the end of Changlin Pass.
Emperor Yan heard two pieces of bad news.
First,
It was the news of the disastrous defeat of the Zhao army in the battle of Changlin Pass.
When Emperor Yan heard the news, he immediately thought that the information was wrong.
Shouldn't it be Qi Jun who suffered a disastrous defeat?
Zhao Jun's cavalry is one of the best in the world.
Even the State of Qin did not dare to say that it was sure of victory in front of the State of Zhao.
The result is final.
Zhao State was defeated by Qi State in a dramatic manner.
Look at the description on the battle report,
Or after Zhao Kuo led his army to Changlin Pass,
No rest was taken, and no manpower was organized to guard the defense.
Set up camp in a swaggering manner directly under people's noses.
Is this something that a general in his right mind can do?
Emperor Yan was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
I heard before that Zhao Kuo is the son of Zhao She.
As the old saying goes, a tiger father has no dog sons.
This also led them to subconsciously feel that Zhao Kuo had inherited his father's talent.
Now look at the results,
Isn’t this just pure straw?
It can't be said that he is a pure idiot. At least he can lead troops in battle, but does it have anything to do with the word "famous general"?
Good guy,
Isn't this the famous general that Zhao Guo himself boasted?
Now Zhao is defeated miserably,
Qi State directly invaded the territory of Zhao State.
Emperor Yan naturally also knew that Zhao and Qi were currently in a stalemate.
But the problem is,
You two are at a stalemate.
There is also a Qi army in Laozi's territory.
This is also the second bad news for Emperor Yan.
In just these two days,
News came one after another.
So-and-so city fell,
There were traces of Qi Jun again.
That army had marched several miles last night, and was now getting closer and closer to Jicheng.
Emperor Yan knew that he could no longer wait for Zhao's reinforcements.
Whenever I see such news, I feel deep despair.
Why did I end up in this situation?
It seems like this time last year,
The Qi army was defeated at Zhuohe River.
Then they forced Qi to cede Changlin Pass to them.
that time,
How high-spirited I am.
In his eyes, Qi State is an ant that can be destroyed at any time.
The Yan Kingdom is about to reach its peak in his own hands.
But now,
This ant can already ride on his head and do whatever he wants.
Even the State of Zhao was overthrown by this former ant.
"Why?!"
"what is this!!!"
Emperor Yan roared angrily and unwillingly.
As more and more unfavorable news came, Emperor Yan's mood became increasingly violent.
If he feels slightly unhappy, he breaks things and yells angrily to vent his anger.
Prime Minister Su Tai slowly walked into the palace.
Seeing the out-of-control Yan Emperor, he just sighed.
Then he clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, currently all the people around Jicheng have moved into the city."
"As for some of the food and baggage outside the city, they are also in the process of being moved."
"It is expected that everything will be moved into the city tomorrow, and all items that cannot be taken away will be burned."
"The enemy troops are all composed of cavalry and are not good at attacking cities. As long as we strengthen the walls and clear the fields, we will retreat when the enemy troops reach the old city."
After listening to the report,
Emperor Yan's mood also calmed down a little.
Regarding the matter of defending the city,
He really wasn't too worried.
It has been a consensus since ancient times that cavalry is not good at attacking cities.
Moreover, the main force of Qi State is still being restrained by Zhao State.
With Huo Qubing's cavalry, it was simply wishful thinking to attempt to conquer Jicheng!
Jicheng, the city is high and the pond is deep.
There is a moat outside, and there are urns and countless defensive equipment inside.
In the hundreds of years since its establishment, Yan State has been attacked by the enemy many times.
But in the end he was still safe.
After so many life and death crises, is it possible that a group of cavalry will break through now?
What a joke.
After his hanging heart fell, Emperor Yan, filled with confidence again, laughed wantonly.
the other side,
Five miles south of Jicheng.
Huo Qubing stood up with his spear drawn and was listening to the scout's report.
After listening,
He let out a disdainful sneer.
"Putting a vertical wall to clear the field?"
"Do you think this will be useful?"
A deputy general next to him said worriedly: "But general, Jicheng is easy to defend but difficult to attack. We are cavalry, so I'm afraid it won't be good..."
What he said was very clear.
Although in the plains, they are invincible.
But when it comes to siege,
It was almost nothing but a blank stare.
We can't just let them dismount and attack the city directly like the infantry, right?
If it's from a small town or a small gate, forget it.
Jicheng is the capital of Yan State.
They have survived hundreds of years of wind and frost, but they can't defeat it even if their heads are made of iron.
Huo Qubing smiled confidently and took out a few letters from his arms.
"See for yourselves."
took the letter,
Several generals around him hurriedly turned their heads to take a look.
It doesn't matter if you look at it.
Their eyes widened with disbelief on their faces.
"General, this...how is this possible..."
these letters,
It turned out that they were all ministers of the Yan State and sent them letters of trust.
The current situation,
It was obvious that the ship of Yan State was about to capsize.
These powerful people naturally did not want to be buried with the Yan Kingdom.
Ever since,
Huo Qubing hasn't arrived in Jicheng yet.
They have already started writing letters expressing their intention to surrender.
This ugly behavior is exactly the same as that of Yuan Kang back then.
Huo Qubing sneered and said: "A good bird chooses a tree to roost in, and a good minister chooses his master to work. He is clearly betraying his master and surrendering to the enemy, but he speaks righteous words."
"But these people have helped me a lot."
