"What did you say?"
After hearing the news that Wei State was sending troops,
first timing,
Emperor Zhao thought there was something wrong with his ears.
Are you kidding?
The mere Wei State, who gave them the courage to take the initiative to attack the Zhao State?
The soldier hurriedly repeated the matter again.
After confirming that he heard correctly,
Emperor Zhao's face, which was already extremely livid, showed a strong sense of anger and humiliation.
"It's too much!"
"Who gave Wei the courage to take the initiative to attack?"
The angry Emperor Zhao kicked the bank in front of him over and said angrily: "Pass my decree and send troops to Wei immediately!"
"I want the Emperor of Wei to kneel in front of me and kowtow to admit his mistake!"
Emperor Zhao was so angry that he
There is no reason at all.
Lin Xianglin hurriedly advised: "Your Majesty, you must not take the initiative to attack."
"Now Zhao's elite army is still fighting Qi's army on the front line."
"Wei's actions must have some influence from Qi's actions."
"If our army takes the initiative to attack, if the battle situation is unfavorable and the enemy troops approach Handan, the siege will be trivial. However, once the food and grass transported to the front line are cut off, the front line army will collapse without a fight!"
If it is normal circumstances,
Although Emperor Zhao was not a wise man, he would still listen to Lin Xianglin's opinions.
But now he
Where is the sanity left?
Originally, because of the war with Qi State, he was angry that he had been passively being beaten.
Now,
I also heard that the Wei State, which they had always trampled under their feet, dared to take the initiative to send troops.
How could Emperor Zhao get so angry?
"It's just the Wei Kingdom that can be crushed with just a raise of your hand. How can the war situation be unfavorable!"
"Tell Zhao Kuo that I will give him a chance to make meritorious service."
"Let him lead an army of fifty thousand and send troops to defend the enemy."
"After the war in Qi is over, I will make Wei regret this decision!"
When Lin Xianglin heard Emperor Zhao's decision, he still wanted to persuade him.
But what greeted him,
It was Emperor Zhao's eyes that were full of anger and left no room for doubt.
However, what they didn't expect was that
Just when the order was issued, Zhao Kuo began to prepare for war.
A Qi army,
He had already passed through Wei State and appeared at the border of Zhao Wei.
The word 'Huo' was embroidered on the black-bordered banner in front of this army.
........
Three days later.
Zhao Kuo led an army of fifty thousand to meet the Wei army.
I thought,
With the strong fighting power of Zhao State, it can be said that it is easy to defeat Wei State.
You can also make meritorious deeds.
But just when the battle was getting tense, Huo Qubing came in from the side, and the balance of victory instantly tilted.
This battle,
Zhao's 50,000-strong army could be said to have been completely wiped out.
Seventeen thousand people were killed and 29,000 were captured.
The remaining thousands are missing.
Only Zhao Kuo led hundreds of soldiers to flee in confusion.
but,
Before they could enter Handan.
Huo Qubing had already caught up.
A cloud-piercing arrow penetrated Zhao Kuo's chest from behind.
the next day,
The army came to the city.
Not only did they surround Handan, but in order to frustrate the Zhao army, Huo Qubing threw Zhao Kuo's head into Handan City.
Emperor Zhao almost fainted because of this.
But now,
The biggest problem facing Zhao State is obviously not the siege of Handan.
As the capital of Zhao State, Handan City is high in the city and deep in the pond, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Of course it's not that easy to break.
The point is,
Now the city is under siege, and food and grass cannot be transported out.
Lian Po's army on the front line will directly lose the supply of food and grass.
For the army fighting abroad, the lack of food and grass supplies is undoubtedly fatal.
a long distance away.
When Wei Qing got the relevant news,
There was no delay.
Directly mobilize the troops and horses, divide into two groups with Zhang Liao's troops, and attack the Zhao army from both sides to win.
Originally, according to Wei Qing's plan,
The Zhao army, which has lost its food and grass supplies, will be vulnerable.
This battle,
The main force of Zhao army will be completely defeated.
But as the commander of the first army, I have to say that Lian Po still has two skills in commanding the army.
In this extremely disadvantageous situation,
Still maintaining their formation, they retreated towards the northern part of Zhao State.
This battle,
Although Zhao Jun's defense line was completely defeated.
The road leading to Handan is also a smooth road.
But in terms of annihilating Zhao Jun's effective force, it was obviously unsatisfactory.
.......
The original Zhao Jun camp,
Wei Qing stood up on his horse, looking at the devastated battlefield in front of him with corpses strewn across the field, his eyes flashed with complex colors, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.
At this time,
The sound of horse hooves came from behind.
Wei Qing turned around and saw that it was Zhang Liao, and asked, "How was the battle damage?"
Zhang Liao replied: "Our army killed 3,700 people and injured 7,400 people. The battle losses exceeded 10,000."
"What about Zhao Jun?"
"Sixteen thousand enemies were killed and forty-two thousand were captured."
Wei Qing looked back at the battlefield in front of him.
"It's a pity that we couldn't completely defeat the main force of the Zhao army."
Zhang Liao frowned slightly and said with a solemn expression: "The army can fight and retreat in an orderly manner despite the lack of food. I can only say that it is worthy of being honest!"
.......
Qi State.
Linzi City.
After two days of rest, Wei Yaoxi's body returned to normal.
Then in the following time,
Han Lin took Wei Yaoxi around the city.
in,
What attracts Wei Yaoxi the most is the two markets in the city.
For the current Linzi City,
The scale of the East Market and West Market has expanded many times compared to before.
Especially as new roads are being built.
The market is not only more spacious than before,
Even many buildings on both sides have been renovated.
The streets were full of people coming and going, merchants gathered, and there was an endless stream of vendors and footmen.
Teahouses and inns can be seen everywhere on both sides of the road, and vendors with big umbrellas stretch from the north end of the market to the south end.
Han Lin was wearing casual clothes, holding a folding fan in his hand, looking like a handsome young man, and accompanied Wei Yaoxi through various streets in the city.
at first,
When Han Lin appeared in front of Wei Yaoxi in this appearance.
Wei Yaoxi's eyes almost popped out.
That small cherry mouth can even fit an egg into it.
Jin robe and jade belt, face like a crown jade!
She never imagined that the ignorant king who was obsessed with beauty in the world's mouth could still have such a temperament.
"You...have you changed someone?"
"Fuss and leave."
Along the way,
Facing the hustle and bustle of the market, which is countless times more prosperous than Daliang City, Wei Yaoxi is like a curious baby.
Wherever you go,
They all had strange expressions on their faces.
I often stand in front of a stall for most of the day.
When the two went to the market,
All with empty hands.
The Jin Yiwei hiding around had only an embroidered spring knife in his hand.
But when people come out,
In the hands of these Jin Yiwei, there are a lot of big and small bags.
When Wei Yaoxi faced Han Lin, she lost her initial restraint and nervousness.
At the back,
More like a couple in love.
The whole person was hung up on Han Lin.
When it gets late,
The golden glow falls on the ground,
When Han Lin returned to the palace, he found that Guan Zhong was already waiting for him.
"Prime Minister, what's going on?"
Guan Zhong smiled and replied: "It's not an urgent matter, but Zhao Guo should be in a hurry."
"The envoy from the State of Zhao has arrived and wants to see His Majesty to discuss peace."
