The battlefield of Zhao Kingdom.
Although faced with Qi's surprise attack, Zhao made a timely response.
But after all, Qi had planned for a long time and went to war without declaring it.
In a hasty response,
Except for the eastern battlefield, Zhao State was retreating steadily on other fronts.
Even though Li Mu had immediately mobilized border troops from the northern front to intercept them.
But in the first large-scale cavalry collision between the two sides, Huo Qubing won a complete victory.
The defeat of Zhao’s northern front,
Soon it also spread to the southern front.
Although the southern front faced the Wei State, the main force of the Zhao army was now concentrated on the eastern front battlefield. Under the huge military disadvantage, the Zhao army retreated again and again.
Wei Guo was about to attack Handan City.
Faced with this situation,
Zhao Qian, the emperor of Zhao State, was like an ant on a hot pot.
Wandering around the palace anxiously.
"Trash, they are all a bunch of trash!"
"I trust Li Mu so much, but he gave me this result!"
"One hundred thousand cavalry against one hundred thousand, and they were able to kill 30,000 and capture 50,000? What kind of trash can achieve such a useless result!"
When Zhao Qian saw the battle report coming back from the north,
The anger in his chest was like a volcano erupting.
The uncontrollable anger caused Zhao Qian's facial features to twist together ferociously, roaring his voice, and kept yelling and cursing in the palace. He was completely different from when he was the Lord of the Ninth Five Years, and he was calm and calm in the face of everything. Shocking, the calmness and indifference when controlling the world.
At this moment, he
Just like a naughty child whose toys have been taken away,
He kept smashing all kinds of precious porcelain to vent his anger.
"boom!"
There was another crisp sound,
This time,
Zhao Qian even threw the jade seal to the ground.
The jade seal that had been handed down from the founding of the Zhao Kingdom was broken off at this time.
"Your Majesty, please calm down and don't delay important matters because of impulsiveness."
In contrast, as the prime minister, Lin Xiangru remained calm and collected at this time.
Victory or defeat is standard issue,
Since ancient times, how many generals have never been defeated?
Lian Po and Li Mu were famous generals of Zhao State.
But before that, he was not invincible.
At least when facing Qin, they were often defeated.
and,
As an emperor,
The more critical the moment, you should stay calm.
Instead of being like a child who can't control his emotions and yells here to vent his anger.
Faced with Lin Xiangru’s advice,
Zhao Qian said gloomily: "I recruited elite troops from the northern frontier army. Now they are all buried in Li Mu's hands. Do you still want me to face it calmly?"
Zhao Qianhong continued: "Is there any news about Lian Po's defense line?"
Lin Xiangru said in a deep voice: "Yesterday, General Lian's envoys crossed the river from Julu and outflanked the Qi army from behind. They were discovered by the Qi army in the middle. The two sides finally fought in Julu, and each suffered injuries."
"Everyone is injured?"
Zhao Qianyin sneered and said: "Lian Po holds Zhao's 400,000-strong army, twice as many as the enemy's army, but in the end everyone suffered losses?"
"A bunch of trash, must they squeeze out every last drop of blood from my country, Zhao, before they are willing to do it?"
Lin Xiangru's tone was still very calm: "Your Majesty, Qi has rarely suffered defeat in foreign wars since Han Lin came to the throne."
"Today's Qi State is different from the past. It is no longer the weak Qi State before. I hope your Majesty will be cautious."
"careful?"
Zhao Qian sneered: "Why don't you tell Li Mu to be cautious?"
"They ruined our Zhao Kingdom's 100,000 cavalry, now I can't wait to kill all nine of his clans!"
After roaring loudly,
Zhao Qian's mood seemed to have stabilized a little, and he continued to ask: "Where are the Wei troops in the south now?"
Lin Xiangru replied with two words: "Yecheng!"
Hearing this,
Zhao Qian was extremely angry and laughed back: "Okay, okay, I never thought that my majestic Zhao would be forced into this situation by Qi one day!"
"Now, pass the order!"
"Order all armies from all over the country to assemble towards Handan."
"I want to conquer the city personally and complete my victory in one battle, so that Handan City will become the burial place of the Qi and Wei armies!"
Perhaps he was completely disappointed with Li Mu and Lian Po,
Or maybe the young and energetic Zhao Qian is still full of passion and wants to make great achievements.
but no matter,
A decisive battle in Handan is completely a choice that leaves no escape route for oneself.
Lin Xiangru's face looked a little ugly, and he wanted to speak out for advice.
Zhao Qian said coldly: "I have made up my mind, please stop trying to persuade me."
"Instead of letting Li Mu and Lian Po shed the blood of Zhao's army, it is better to fight to the death under Handan City!"
After Han Lin ascended the throne,
They lost to Qi one after another.
this matter,
In Zhao Qian's heart, there was already countless anger accumulated.
now,
Facing another defeat of the frontline army,
Zhao Qian has lost trust in Li Mu and Lian Po.
The main reason is that this scene has been seen in Qin too many times.
Now, it has happened again and again to Qi.
Unwilling to be reconciled, Zhao Qian was determined to go out in person and fight to the death with the Qi army.
.......
the other side.
The Qi army, which was still waiting in tight formation, saw that the main force of the Zhao army suddenly began to retreat. Yue Yunfei, who was cautious by nature, was full of doubts and confusion.
Zhao Jun retreated,
Wouldn't it be to completely expose one's inner hinterland to oneself?
Or,
Is this Zhao Jun's plan to lure the enemy deeper?
Yue Yunfei, who is cautious by nature, followed up without taking offense.
After the army occupied Julu, they set up camp on the spot, built fortifications, and waited for the arrival of Wei Qing's troops.
Five days later,
Wei Qing's cavalry army, without Zhao Jun's obstruction, made great progress and merged day and night.
From the northern part of Zhao State, go all the way south.
Arrive at Julu and meet Yue Yunfei.
the other side,
Huo Qubing's troops also arrived at Shicheng, and thirty miles further south was Handan.
As for Wei, there was not much progress.
The reason is not that they rowed in the water and did not work hard, but that Handan City was very close to the Wei border.
Watching Zhao's main army return to Handan, Wei dared not attack on his own, so he could only wait for the arrival of Qi's army.
at this time,
Only the generals from all sides can see clearly,
Where is Zhao Guo luring the enemy to penetrate deeply?
Instead, facing a three-way double-team, he planned to fight his own side in Handan.
Faced with this situation,
After a brief discussion with Yue Yunfei, Wei Qing and Yue Yunfei led the army to set off towards Handan.
At the same time, they also conveyed messages to Huo Qubing and Wei Jun respectively, agreeing to meet at Yecheng in the south of Handan.
at the same time,
The news that the Emperor of Zhao State wanted to personally lead the main army to fight to the death with the Qi army also reached Qi State.
Looking at this information,
Han Lin also became interested.
Good guy,
Where can you steal the limelight?
If you want to lead a military expedition in person, then I also want to lead a military expedition in person.
Just right,
I have long heard that the people of Handan have beautiful walking postures, and I also want to see the walking posture of the Emperor of Zhao.
.......
