It is said that Han and Wei were almost overjoyed when they learned that Qin and Chu were at war!
South Korea, in particular, has always been worried about Qin's brazen seizure of the important land of Yiyang... Now that the two great powers of Qin and Chu have turned from alliance to hostility, South Korea is immediately ready to make a move!
The capital of South Korea, Xinzheng.
The fluttering snowflakes fell one after another, turning this historic city into pure white.
This is a city with a very long history, and it can be regarded as one of the birthplaces of Chinese culture. During the middle and late Yangshao Culture (5000 BC to 3000 BC), [Zheng] was the "bear country".
By the middle period of the Longshan Culture (2500 BC to 2000 BC), [Zheng] was also known as the 'country of the Zhu Rong clan'.
During the Xia and Shang dynasties, [Zheng] was even more incredible, and it was the capital region of these two dynasties.
After the Zhou Dynasty, from the Spring and Autumn Period to the Warring States Period, Xinzheng was chosen as the capital by several vassal states. It was not until the fall of the Zheng Kingdom that South Korea moved its capital to the old capital of the Zheng Kingdom and renamed [Zheng County] [Xinzheng], which is the origin of the name Xinzheng.
Facing a snowstorm that has never happened in a century, Xinzheng is struggling in the heavy snow.
In the palace of Xinzheng, there was another scene - King Han Cang of Han Xiang was smiling broadly, and he was grandly entertaining the envoys of Qin.
"The envoy of Qin came from afar. It's not easy with the heavy snow blocking the road. Come, give me some wine!" Han Wangcang waved his hand.
This Han Wangcang has only been on the throne for seven short years, and he has already been beaten on the head several times by Qin Guo.
At this moment, looking at the Qin envoy with a solemn face and seemingly melted snow on his body, he was very embarrassed... Han Cang felt almost happy.
Tigers and wolves hate Qin, and you are still here?
Han Cang also understood the purpose of the Qin envoy's visit - it was just to stabilize South Korea and try to avoid being attacked on all sides.
After Han Cang gave him the wine, he waved his hand and said, "We will not discuss state affairs today - the envoy of Qin will go back to the inn first and have a good rest. I will discuss state affairs with you again in a while."
The envoy of Qin had no choice but to return to the post house...
On the other hand, Wei's attitude was similar to that of South Korea - facing Qin's envoys, it was just a 'delay'. The Qin envoy's several requests for an audience were ignored.
The ambiguous attitude of South Korea and Wei really worried Empress Dowager Xuan who was far away in Xianyang.
The Second Danyang War between Qin and Chu has now become the focus of attention from all countries... Envoys from various countries did not hesitate to brave the cold wind and snow to trudge on the official road. The monarchs of various countries frowned and exchanged opinions secretly...
…
Qi State, Jimo.
Outside Jimo City, Yan State General Le Yi was sitting in the camp, playing the piano alone.
Le Yi is a very busy man nowadays... He doesn't have much leisure time to play the piano alone.
The battle of the coalition forces against Qi organized by the State of Yan was really brilliant - there was only one isolated city left in the State of Qi, Jimo, which existed in name only.
The land area controlled by the Yan State suddenly expanded - while Le Yi continued to command the Yan army to besiege Jimo, he also took on the important task of governing the old lands of the Qi State and turning the occupied Qi State land into the possession of the Yan State.
Fortunately, Le Yi is not the kind of general who only knows how to fight - "mounting the horse can manage the army, dismounting the horse can manage the people", which is the true portrayal of this Yaqing of the Yan Kingdom.
It was Le Yi who presided over the reform in the Yan State at the beginning, which made the poor and backward Yan State strong, able to have 200,000 elite soldiers, and realize the strategic concept of revenge against the Qi State.
"Yaqing, why are you so relaxed and elegant today?" General Yan Qi Jie pushed open the door and came in. When he saw Le Yi playing the piano, he couldn't help but joke.
This qijie is a veteran of the Yan Kingdom - his eyebrows are straight up, he has a leopard head with eyes, and he is tall and tall.
Le Yi smiled: "How's the snow situation?"
"Reporting to Yaqing - it's okay for now."
Le Yi nodded and warned carefully: "A large area of land in Qi has just been transferred to me, Dayan, so we must try our best to appease the emotions of the people of Qi. This snow disaster came suddenly, which just allows our Yan army to perform well."
"To evacuate the victims and distribute food... this is a good time to win over the people's hearts!" Le Yi said.
Qi Jie was a little disapproving and agreed: "Yaqing, don't worry, the general has already made arrangements."
Then, Qi Jie took out a bamboo tube from his arms and handed it to Le Yi: "Yaqing, this is what you want."
Le Yi opened the bamboo tube and took out a scroll filled with words... all the details of the battle between Qin and Chu.
General Qin! Bai Qi!
Great Sima of Chu State! Xiong Liang, Marquis of Quyang!
Both are top talents that Le Yi is optimistic about... Now that they have met, who can be better?
…
Jimo City.
The soldiers and civilians of the whole country worked together to clear the snow under the leadership of Tian Shuang.
Since Tian Dan successfully resisted several large-scale attacks by the Yan army, the soldiers and civilians in Jimo City have truly admired this young man with a business background.
Being able to persist for such a long time under the siege of the enemy... He has even begun to engage in construction to promote production, and pursue sustainable development in the small Jimo City for long-term operations... Even with the foreign aid of Marquis Quyang, It is also extremely rare.
King Qi Tiandi in the city lord's palace also received the news of "Qin Chu confronting Danshui" and couldn't help but hold his breath.
Now Chu State is the thigh of Tiandi!
If the Chu State was defeated, then his Qi State, which existed in name only, would definitely not be in trouble.
The moment he opened the letter, Tian Tian took a closer look, breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help laughing.
The surrounding palace people were puzzled: "Your Majesty, now Qin and Chu are at odds with each other. It would be okay if the Chu State wins... But if the Chu State is defeated, then the Qin army will march straight in, and the Chu State will definitely be seriously injured."
"At this time, our Jimo defense relies heavily on the assistance of the Chu State... If the Chu State's vitality is severely damaged, it is unknown whether this assistance can continue and how long it can last."
"Why is the king laughing at such a critical time?"
Tian Tian put the letter aside and said without any doubt: "I laugh at the Qin State for not overestimating its own capabilities!"
"Do you know who leads the army in Chu?"
The palace people shook their heads.
Tian Di: "The general of Chu State is my adoptive father! Great Sima Xiong Liang!"
"It's ridiculous that little Qin dares to compete with his adoptive father!"
"I predict that by the beginning of spring, Qin will be defeated!"
"Perhaps then, it will be the time for Qi to overthrow Yan!" Tian Di thought about this and couldn't help laughing.
Tiandi has always kept Xiong Wuliang’s words in mind——
Let him defend Jimo, and Jimo did! With the maritime support of Quyang Hou, the small Jimo City was managed like an iron barrel.
Let him reuse Tian Dan. Tian Dan is indeed reliable and a great talent.
At the beginning, Xiong Wuliang also said that Tiandi would 'wait for the opportunity', and then Xiong Wuliang would have his own way of defeating Yan... In Tiandi's view, it would be the best 'opportunity' for Chu to defeat Qin and dominate the world!
"Heaven! Can we really revive the country and return it to the old capital?" Tiandi let out a long sigh, and then looked to the west from a distance, full of hope in his heart——
Foster father! Come and save me!
