Chapter 139 Qin Yan is alienated
Ji Dan fled back to Yan State.
After sobering up, Ji Dan was restless when he recalled what he did at the banquet. He felt like a thorn on his back. Ying Zheng never summoned him again, and Ji Dan knew that he had caused a big disaster.
what to do?
Thirty-six strategies, walking is the best strategy.
Ji Dan learned about the feat of King Qingxiang of Chu and quietly fled from Qin on a dark and windy night.
After returning to Yan State, Ji Dan's attitude changed rapidly and he became a staunch anti-Qin element. Yan Wang Xi was an unintentional person. He also heard from Ji Dan that Qin King Ying Zheng was arrogant and rude, arrogant, and his self-esteem was greatly hurt.
After entering the Warring States Period, Yan became the only remaining Ji country. As a descendant of Zhao Gongsheng, deep down, the people of Yan exuded a strong sense of superiority everywhere.
Back then, the Qin people were just untouchables who let go of horses, and the Han, Zhao and Wei Kingdom were just rioters who usurped the country and seized power.
Over the years, Yan State and Zhao State have fought to the death, and are somewhat jealous.
If it weren't for the purpose of restraining Zhao State, Yan State would not be willing to deal with the former horse herd.
"Since Qin is so arrogant, let them get involved with Zhao by themselves!"
Yan Wangxi comforted Ji Dan with a grievance. To be honest, he didn't want to fight Zhao either.
There were constant conflicts between Yan and Zhao, and the Yan people had almost no record of victory. It should be said that it was not almost, but not once.
The snipe and clam fight, and the fisherman gained profit. This time, Yan State would be a fisherman. King Xi of Yan thought to himself that if Zhao State is defeated, he would not mind and take advantage of the situation again.
The changes in Yan's strategy soon reached Zhao State, and Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Now, we can concentrate our forces against the Qin army."
In the two-line battle, even if the Yan army is equivalent to the role of spaghetti, it will inevitably restrain some of the Zhao army's forces.
The soldiers of Zhao State had strong combat power, not weaker than the Qin army. They were in a war environment for a long time, and the Zhao people dared to fight to the death. This is what is called the tragic sing of Yan and Zhao.
After the Battle of Changping, Zhao's vitality slowly recovered, and Li Mu was full of confidence in the Zhao army commanded. Under the same conditions, he was confident that he could defeat the Qin army. However, Wang Jian, the general of the Qin army opposite, would not give him the same conditions.
The Zhao army has always been insufficient. Li Mu changed his tactics in Daidi and adopted a defensive counterattack.
Wang Jian, who is good at defensive counterattacks, had to take the initiative to attack. After several tests, he did not gain any advantage, and the battle situation was stalemate.
"Transfer to Sima Shang in the north and prepare to fight back against the Qin army!"
The troops quietly transferred back to the east, Li Mu's men were close to the number of Qin troops. Li Mu was unwilling to continue waiting and continued to fight. The first thing that could not hold on was Zhao State.
The battle between Qin and Zhao Changping was not so much defeated by Zhao Kuo, but rather that Qin dragged down Zhao State. Without food, Zhao State had to fight.
Fortunately, Li Mu is not Zhao Kuo. After so many years, Li Mu has experienced countless big and small battles and has rich experience in wars.
······
"Wang Jian is defeated?"
Compared with the news of Yang Duan and the defeat, the news of Wang Jian's defeat surprised Meng Tian even more.
Mr. Wang's lifelong military service, it can be said that he had almost no defeat. Wang Jian was famous for his cautiousness and made steady progress. Few people could take advantage of Wang Jian.
"General Wang was only a small defeat, and the loss was not big." Jing Su's eyes were also unstoppable. "Yang Duan and General in the north suffered a big defeat. Sima Shang pretended to be defeated, and the captain Zhao Ying led his troops to pursue him and was ambushed..."
Thinking of Zhao Ying's arrogant appearance, Jing Su was a little gloating, but thinking of the dead Qin soldiers, a haze rose in Jing Su's heart.
It is really important for ordinary soldiers to follow who to fight.
"Li Mu is worthy of being a person as famous as Lian Po. Sima Shang has a reputation but is quite talented."
Li Mu once defeated the Xiongnu in Daidi and fought in the north for a long time. After Lian Po and Le took the fire together, they fled Zhao State, and the King of Zhao had no more generals, so Li Mu was transferred to Handan to preside over the overall situation.
The Qin army had never fought with Li Mu, and in fact they didn't know Li Mu's background, but Li Mu defeated the Qin army in the first battle, just like Zhao She.
"But Li Mu will fail in the end." Meng Tian looked at the map in his hand, Shangdang Highlands, and Wang Jian held it firmly in his hand.
The battle between Qin and Zhao was fighting for national strength and consumption. Wang Jian could fail once, even twice or three times, but as long as Li Mu failed once, Zhao would be finished.
Although Li Mu won, the military's consumption could not be quickly compensated.
"I just don't know if the king is patient?" Jing Su was in charge of the intelligence and had more information, and he agreed with Meng Tian's judgment very much.
"If the king replaces the elder General Wang, will the elder General Meng become the head coach?"
"Our king is a sensible person in my heart." Meng Tian smiled and shook his head, "Don't worry, Wang Jian's position as a handsome man is stable!"
When Ying Zheng launched the Unification War, he fully delegated power to his generals and tried his best to ensure the logistics of the army. In every war, the Qin generals on the front line had no shortage of soldiers, food, and weapons. Just arrange the troops well.
The combination of Ying Zheng and Wei Liao is quite similar to Roosevelt's partner Marshall, fully developing the country's war potential.
Sure enough, Ying Zheng did not replace Wang Jian, and even Yang Duanhe did not replace him. He just continued to increase his troops and transported grain to Wang Jian.
The 400,000 army was fighting abroad for a long time. Wang Jian held Shangdang tightly, and did not stop. Ying Zheng did not send envoys to urge Wang Jian to fight with Li Mu as soon as possible, without any concerns about the autumn harvest in the country.
After the Zhengguo Canal was built, irrigated 40,000 mu of fertile land in Guanzhong. Guanzhong truly became a fertile land of thousands of miles, and there was no need to transfer grain from the CD plain.
"The best result of Wang Jian's strategic goal in this battle is to destroy Zhao. If he really cannot destroy Zhao, he will consume Zhao's vitality."
Ying Zheng faithfully implemented the strategic plan formulated by Wei Liao. Ying Zheng ignored any impeachment of Wang Jian with a large army and had ulterior motives.
Meng Tian originally planned to sit in Shangjun with peace of mind and quietly watch the battle between Wang Jian and Li Mu, but he waited for Ying Zheng's envoy.
"Cai Bo?"
When I saw the messenger, Meng Tian discovered that it was Cai Ze's son Cai Bo.
"I entered the palace and became a Langwei. When the king saw that I was doing my best, he promoted me to become a Zhonglang."
Cai Bo's tone was plain, as if he was narrating a very ordinary thing, but his eyes were full of brilliance.
The Zhonglang of Qin was equivalent to the personal guards of the leaders of later countries, guarding Zhongnanhai. Unlike the Langzhong who guarded the palace and the Wailang outside the palace, the Zhonglang who guarded the imperial edicts and could see the king at all times. The closer the distance is to the king, the more opportunities you will be appreciated by the king.
During the Warring States Period, the monarchs were often released from the country and became county magistrates and county magistrates in the local area. After gaining political achievements and being transferred back to the central government, they became officials in the court. The secretary of later generations went to the local area for training, which was almost the same.
However, Qin's laws are strict and the officials cannot achieve results, and it is difficult for them to stay in Ying Zheng's sight for a long time.
Before the exile, Lang Guan often served as Ying Zheng's special envoy, went to the local area to convey orders, inspected secretly, and tested Lang Guan's ability.
"Why would the king let you come to Shangjun?"
After the greetings, Meng Tian invited Cai Bo to take the seat and got to the point.
After the Huns retreated, the defense line of Shangjun was always stable, and there was no war along the Great Wall. It was plain and Ying Zheng should not pay attention to it.
"The king is preparing for his full efforts to move eastward, and the country has already started demographic statistics. The defense lines of Longxi, Northland and Shangjun were unsure, so the king asked me to come and investigate on the spot."
Before entering Meng Tian’s military camp, Cai Bo secretly visited the Great Wall defense line, which can be said to be as solid as a rock. He met Meng Tian, but he did not dare to be careless in his work.
"There is no problem with the defense of Shangjun. However, when General Yang fought with the Zhao army, the cavalry was almost wiped out. Now he is very passive. The king asked me to ask you, if you are transferred to Zhao State to fight, can you ensure the safety of the Great Wall......"
