In the camp of Zhao army, Sima Shang received the news from the scout.

"The Qin army recruited the cavalry of Shangjun and passed Gaolang!"

In order to deal with Zhao, did Qin ignore the Huns?

Sima Shang put down the bamboo slip in his hand, rubbed his slightly bloated forehead, feeling a huge burden on his heart.

He was not afraid of the cavalry of the Qin people. The cavalry of Zhao State was born in the country since King Wuling Hufu and Cavalry, and has always been the most powerful cavalry in the Warring States Period. In the Battle of Changping, the infantry of Zhao State suffered a devastating blow, and the cavalry in the north suffered minimal losses, saving their vital strength.

In the northern part of Zhao State, the Luliang Mountains and Taihang Mountains run across the north and south, and the terrain is rugged and uneven, which is not conducive to the development of cavalry. The land in the Fen River Valley between the two mountains is very fertile, but there are many rivers and the terrain is still narrow.

After the three families divided Jin, Zhao actively expanded to the east and moved the capital from Jinyang to Handan in order to gain a broader space for development.

Sima Shang's hand in the terrain is dangerous and guards the important road from Jinyang to Handan. Once the terrain is lost, Handan will inevitably be in danger.

In the 28th year of King Huiwen of Zhao, the Qin army attacked Yanyu. It was precisely because of the importance of Yanyu that King Huiwen decided to rescue Yanyu. In the end, only Zhao She understood King Huiwen's intention. Fortunately, Zhao She fulfilled her mission and won the battle and became famous all over the world.

"Yanyu must keep the Qin army out of Yanyu!"

Sima Shang suddenly sat upright and his eyes fell on the map in front of him. The Qin army's two armies, like two giant pincers of a scorpion, pressed the heart of Zhao tightly.

The Qin army's intentions were very clear, pointing directly to Handan and destroying Zhao State.

In the Fen River Valley, Jinyang Plain, the Zhao army was familiar with the terrain here. The cavalry of Dai was annihilated by Yang Duanhe's cavalry and had a strong morale. Sima Shang knew very well that the better he fought here, the more chance Li Mu had.

Li Mu's talent is much higher than his.

"Hu Zhe!" Sima Shang shouted loudly.

"The last one will be here!"

Outside the camp, a tall and strong general lifted the curtain and walked in. He was about forty years old, with bright eyes and full of energy. A month ago, it was Hu Zhe who led the cavalry and wiped out Yang Duanhe's cavalry.

"The Qin State sent more reinforcements, and had crossed the river and passed Gaolang." Sima Shang pointed at Gaolang's position on the map and pointed to Shangjun's position. "This cavalry is from Shangjun, with about 20,000 people!"

The scouts can only estimate the strength of the Qin army. The scouts of the Zhao army have rich experience and the estimated results are almost the same.

"Does the cavalry in Shangjun beware of the Huns?"

Hu Zhe's face was also full of surprise.

During the Warring States Period, the number of 20,000 cavalry was already quite large. Hu Zhe estimated that almost all the cavalry in Shangjun was put into the battlefield of Zhao State.

"I don't know what the Qin people were thinking." This is also the headache for Sima Shang. Qin seemed to have begun to fight desperately. He would never give up until Zhao. "Maybe the Qin people felt that the defense line of Shangjun was fooled, so they dared to stop like this!"

"Qin State is really so arrogant!"

Hu Zhe accepted Sima Shang's explanation and was looking forward to the fact that when the autumn was high and the horses were fat, the Huns could cause some trouble for the Qin people.

Over the years, the national strength of Zhao State has shrunk and the northern defense line has been retreating. Yunzhong, Jiuyuan and other counties have almost been given to the Xiongnu, concentrating on guarding Dai County. Even so, Dai County has maintained about 20,000 cavalry all year round to prepare for the Xiongnu.

The history of Zhao's fortune was full of passion for fighting with the Hu people. After fighting with the Hu people for so many years, the Zhao people knew very well that without cavalry warriors, it would be difficult to deal with the Huns who came and went like the wind.

"What's the matter with the general?" Hu Zhe saw Sima Shang frowned, and his fingers were sometimes pointed at Gaolang's position, and sometimes pointed at Jinyang, back and forth, without stopping.

"The Qin army has no cavalry, so our army enjoys the advantage of mobility, but if the reinforcements from Shangjun meet with Yang Duanhe, it will be difficult to deal with."

"Whether the general said, no matter whether he came from Shangjun or from Longxi, I, Hu Zhe, destroyed them!"

The Qin cavalry has a long history, but it is still worse than the cavalry in the Dai area of ​​Zhao State. The cavalry of the two countries has few opportunities to fight on a large scale. Hu Zhe just won a big victory, so he naturally feels full of confidence.

"Kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred of them. Even if our army can win again and again, Zhao State cannot afford to consume it!"

Sima Shang shook his head with a wry smile and sighed quietly. The general under his command was in a good mood. He should be happy, but the news from Handan was not happy.

Shortage of people, shortage of food, shortage of equipment...

The supplies that Sima Shang asked for from the rear were never given to him in time. After the Changping War, the Warring States Period did not restore national strength, and wars continued, and the country was dragged down.

"I got the news that the commander of this cavalry was Meng Tian, ​​the third generation of the Meng family. He used to fight against the Chu people in the south, and later garrisoned Shangjun and guarded the Xiongnu, but never set foot on the land of Zhao......"

"In other words, Meng Tian is probably not familiar with the terrain of Taiyuan."

Hu Zhe was very smart and instantly understood Sima Shang’s plan, “General wants to deal with Meng Tian first?”

"That's right, defeat them while they have not joined forces!"

After coming out of Sima Shang's tent, Hu Zhe had a faint, faint smile on the corner of his mouth. After the King of Qin took office, he liked to appoint young generals, but young people always had to pay tuition. On the battlefield, tuition was a defeat, or even a defeated army and killed the generals.

Zhao Ying, Yang Duan and the young generals under him, almost killed him. It was only when the soldiers fought to protect him that Hu Zhe failed to succeed. Now there was a better chance. In front of him, Hu Zhe's entire body was excited.

"Meng Tian? Wasn't it the child who came to welcome Zhao Ji back then?"

Hu Zhe remembered it, but he didn't expect that more than ten years have passed, and the boy from that time has now become a general of the Qin army.

If I could kill Meng Tian or capture Meng Tian alive, I, Hu Zhe, would be famous all over the world!

Hu Zhe thought this way, it was not that he valued Meng Tian too much, but that the reputation of the Meng family had long been famous all over the world. The Meng family was a general for three generations and was loyal to the Qin State. For Qin, the Meng family was a pillar of the Qin State's army.

The descendants of the Meng family were defeated and killed, captured alive, and brought to the battlefield for the Qin people to see, which would greatly damage the morale of the Qin army.

"So what can the Mengshimen do? Let Qi Zhidi become Meng Tian's burial place!"

Hu Zhe chopped on the ground with a fierce kick, trampling a big black ant to death, and turned his feet hard, as if the black ant under his feet had become a Qin army soldier wearing black clothes wearing black flags.

Among the many generals of the Zhao army, Hu Zhe liked to kill black ants. Whenever the ants were crushed to pieces under his feet, he could feel an inexplicable pleasure.

When the Zhao army cavalry quietly headed towards Qizhidi, Meng Tian's cavalry had just passed the Zishi and was heading towards Qizhidi. Riding on the black war horse, Meng Tian looked at the map while observing the terrain, and carefully looked at Zhao's Longxing Land.

"The terrain of Guanzhong is dangerous, and the terrain of the Fenhe Valley is not bad. Luliang Mountain is blocked from left and right, Dai County is located in the north, and guarding the mouth of the Fenhe Valley to the south, which can also achieve hegemony!"
