North of the Yellow River.

Zhao Yili people.

A Wei scout shouted in horror on the hillside.

"Gao Liu's cavalry! Gao Liu's cavalry! They are here!"

Several Wei scouts on the top of the mountain jumped up nervously and looked down the hillside. Smoke and dust were already rising in the distance.

The two of them jumped on their horses and galloped towards Handan. The remaining scouts quickly packed their baggage and wanted to leave.

But soon several scouts of the Mo family were targeting them. After several approaching, the scouts of the Mo family did not entangle with these Wei people. Even a few arrogant scouts of the Mo family shouted from afar and asked them to go back and tell Ximen Bao to withdraw their troops.

The people were not far from Handan, only a few dozen miles away. The Wei people had heard of the news of Gaoliu Mo's army sending troops, but they did not expect that this army had just defeated Zhao Gongzi Chao and Que Yujun's troops in Xiawu Mountain last month. In less than two months, it appeared near Handan.

Among the Gaoliu cavalry team that had been promoted to sergeant for a year, Mi, who had made many meritorious prisoners, led his company to six routes. The war horse with the white star on his forehead that had been following him for a long time was biting the belly of a horse next to him. He stretched out his hand and pulled the reins, but he couldn't bear to hit it.

In just one year, the illegitimate prisoner Mi made many more achievements. The Mo family had prepared for the purpose of sending troops today for more than a year. The Hu people north of Gaoliu were stabilized during the expedition that welcomed Soluzan back to China last year. They temporarily swear to them and defeated several Hu tribes, so that Gaoliu would not have any danger in a short period of time.

The sanctioned prisoner Mi Qian heard the news about his sister a while ago, and heard that they seemed to have gone deep into Loufan and went to the clouds north of the Yellow River shape. The Hu people there were now very honest and dared not complain.

The Zhuxia people near Gaoliu have an overwhelming advantage over the Hu people. Those merchants who went deep into the grassland are difficult to use with the battlefield on Si Shang, but the extremely effective "forming chariots" on the grassland rely on firearms and chariot formations, and more than a hundred people can often make the settlement of more than a thousand people helpless.

Crops such as potatoes and corn are fully in line with the climate of Gaoliu. At this time, the weather is warm and the farming and pasture line is already further north. Gaoliu area has been fully adapted to farming life. The new methods of building cities and defending the city have made the Hu people robbed south into delusions.

The development of iron tools in the Han Dynasty made the Han army use one to five. At this time, the development and tactics that transcended the era, confronted Lin Hu, who had not yet formed the imperial organization and the bone tools era, was afraid that he would have to use one to ten more.

Even if there is a intention to loot, if the cavalry in Liu is not raised, they can chase and kill, even those tribes that have obtained the right to trade in Gaoliu would be eager to send troops to cooperate to divide cattle and horses.

This time, the san prisoner Mi was also the company commander of the sergeant, but there were three companies under his jurisdiction. Because this time the troops were mobilized in Gaoliu, a large number of retired soldiers and farmers also participated. After all, this time, the troops were not sent by the Mo family, but Zhao Gongzizhang granted the people of Gaoliu in his nominal land, and used autonomy to exchange for blood taxes from the people of Gaoliu area.

Until now, when the sanctioned prisoner Mi recalled the scene of the day's oath, he couldn't help laughing.

He didn't know how Qu Jiangzi, Hu Feizi and others talked to Zhao Gongzizhang, but because of the horse skills he showed in front of the Hu people, he became the guardian of that alliance and witnessed everything that happened.

Some truths are unknown to Mi.

In fact, since welcoming Soluzan last year to resolve the possible threat north of Gaoliu, the Mohist family has been waiting for opportunities in Zhao State.

Before the war between Qi and Mo began, Hu Feizi came to Handan first because the Mo family had to demolish the Three Jins from the beginning to prevent Wei from interfering in the Qi and Mo war.

More than ten years ago, the Mohist school began to infiltrate Zhao, maximizing the conflict between Zhao Wugong and Zhao Gongzizhang, which put Zhao Gongzizhang in an extremely embarrassing position.

The State of Wei has always been worried about the rise of the Mo family. Duke Wu of Zhao wanted to establish good relations with the State of Wei because of the existence of Zhao Liehou's son, and thought that his son had come to power. Prince Zhang relied on the support of the old ministers left by Zhao Liehou, and the Mo family took advantage of the opportunity to enter Handan, the fief of Gongzi Zhang, to develop vigorously.

Gong Zhonglian, the old minister of the Liehou, could see clearly this situation, but one thing was that Zhao could no longer be used as a gun by Wei, and the other was that even if Gong Zhonglian knew about the Mo family, he would be happy to do so.

As soon as Duke Wu of Zhao died, Prince Zhang succeeded to the throne under the guidance of a group of old ministers.

Originally, Gongzizhang's choice would be very compromised. He defended Handan. Wei State could not capture the troops for a long time and directly withdrew his troops. The two countries negotiated that Wei State recognized the legitimacy of Gongzizhang and denied that Gongzi Chao had the right to inherit, which was the end.

However, in order to demolish the Three Jins and incite the Zhongshan Kingdom to restore the country, the Mohist family paid money and guns to organize merchants to support Zhongshan Kingdom.

The south sent engineers and artillery troops to support Chu's attack on Prince Ding and forced Wei.

This makes the situation extremely ugly:

It is difficult for Wei State to attack, and Gongzi Zhang cannot trust Wei State, and it seems that there are many advantages to make money, and there is no second option except to start fighting.

Gongzi Zhang was full of confidence. This was not a situation where Wei and Zhao turned against each other in history, but a situation where Chu, Zhongshan and Zhao started a war against Wei. Gong Zhonglian believed that this was a rare opportunity to get rid of Wei's interference, and at the same time dealt with the nobles within, and continue to deepen reforms.

Before the battle between Qi and Mo began, the Mo family started a war of unjust war. The Mo family made great efforts to incite public opinion for the later hegemony of Si Shang.

Before, when Wu Qi defected and passed by Si Shang, the Mohist family made a big announcement in newspapers that Wu Qi entered Qin, and provided technical support such as iron smelting to benefit the Qin people.

There were a group of rebels in Qin, which always sounded a bit incense; Wei Hou was not unaware of what kind of person Wu Qi was.

The war between Wei and Zhao began, and the State of Wei interfered with the inheritance of Zhao. Later, the Mohist and Qi went to war. Wu Qi was opposed by the nobles in Qin. At this time, there was no city of Chongquan and Luoshui, and he made an attitude of managing the Xihe River.

Wu Qi was opposed by the Qin nobles, and Wei could feel at ease to mobilize the Wushu of Xihe to interfere in Zhao. Ximen Bao from Ye was able to start besieging Handan; Leyang in Zhongshan did not commit suicide at that time, Gongshuzhu wanted to see Leyang as the shadow of Wu Qi to prove that it was right to drive Wu Qi away, and supported Wei to start a war from all sides to show the strategic initiative of Wenhou. In order for Wei to agree to him to annex Zheng State and continue to form an alliance with Wei State, he went south to harass Nanyang of Chu State.

The Mo family learned from Duke Xiang of Song. Because the people of Lu were innocent, they allowed Liang's father to enter Fei State through Lu. Prince Zhang of Zhao began to hesitate, suspecting that the Mo family was about to finish. Wei State might not be able to create another Wenhou, and win from all sides.

However, Qin State tacitly hoped that Wei and Zhao would continue to fight, and immediately released a rumor that Wu Qicheng would be the peak of the Xihe River, which made Wei State able to mobilize the military soldiers at this time, but had to guard against Qin's revenge.

Gongzi Zhang became a little firmer again from the hesitation and felt that he could continue to fight.

Subsequently, the Pingyin Legion of Qi State was destroyed in the battle of Nanji River. The Zhongshan Di Leyang thought it was an insult and committed suicide and gave the Lingshou he had run to his grandson, the Le family and Zhongshan Jun, plus the funds provided by Si Shang and the mercenaries invested by merchants defeated Gongzi Zhi in Zhongshan Kingdom, and the Wei State was defeated step by step; the Chu State resolved the Prince Ding Rebellion; the Mo family soldiers headed to Lucheng and arrived straight to Linzi.

Gongzi Zhang's attitude changed again, and he felt that this battle could not only continue, but also completely weaken the Wei Kingdom and most thoroughly deal with the nobles of Gongzi Chao. On the one hand, he fought against Handan and on the other hand, he beat Gongzi Chao a group of nobles.

But then, as soon as the battle between Nanjishui ended, Wei and Han were in conflict with Mojia in private. The Mojia said that he would not want Chengyang or Linqiu, and he was preparing to make peace with Wei.

The reform of Qin State was launched, and many nobles opposed it, and chaos in Qin was imminent.

The State of Chu basically quelled the Prince Ding Rebellion, but the Wei army confronted the Chu army without fighting. The State of Chu seemed to be unable to continue to go north and wait for the alliance to mediate.

The determination made by Gongzi Zhang before was too ruthless.

The Zhongshan Kingdom was successfully restored, the Mo family won a great victory on Si, and the Chu Kingdom did not advance or retreat on the southern front, which made the strategic situation of Wei extremely ugly. The original strategic situation could be accepted to sell Gongzi Chao, as long as we continue to maintain the friendship between Wei and Zhao, there is still a lot of potential.

The current strategic situation is that if you don’t solve the Zhao State, you won’t take the opportunity to weaken the Zhao State... There is the Mo family on Si, the Chu State in Nanyang, the Chu State in Daliang, and the Qin State in the west. If there is another Zhao State who is ready to start a war against Wei at any time, the Wei State will really not be able to withstand it.

On the one hand, it made peace with the Mo family, and on the other hand, it confronted Chu. Taking advantage of the opportunity when Qin State started a reform and began to have an imminent civil strife, the Wei State had to fight to the death: making peace with the Mo family means that the Mo family, which had not been in the Gaoliu area, might not be involved in the dispute between Wei and Zhao.

Immediately, Gongshu Zhuo led the Xihe tribe through South Korea and went straight to Taihang Mountain; the Wei army in Anyang area cut off the connection between the capital of Zhao and Handan along the Zhang River, and used the enclave of Wei to cut the essence of Zhao into two parts; Ximen Bao continued to besiege Handan; he began to negotiate with Zhongshan to recognize Zhongshan to disgust Zhao in the future, and Gongzi Zhi began to gather the remaining forces and advance southward to Juluze; Zhao's prince Chao tribe rebelled with his fiefdom and called himself a marquis.

The situation for Gongzi Zhang was a little stretched.

The old minister Gong Zhonglian in the era of Liehou passed away.

The continuous situation between Handan City and Zhongmu was cut off, and the Wushu in Xihe continued to advance. More importantly, the Prince Chao had already called himself a marquis, and the Wei State was determined to interfere with the support of a pro-Wei regime to solve the strategic situation where the enemy was on all sides, and at the very least, it would weaken the Zhao State.

The current situation is that Gongzi Zhang can’t even talk about it, so he can only fight with his teeth.

Hu Feizi helped defend the city in Handan City. He could fight but did not move. He teased each other across the city wall with Ximen Bao. Anyway, Ximen Bao could not conquer Handan, but Hu Feizi did not send troops to fight. When he was defending the city, Hu Feizi had a tiger talisman in his hand, and Gongzi Zhang's confidants could not transfer troops. Besides, they were all peasants and merchants from Handan City. They all wanted to bargain with Gongzi Zhang for war under the instigation of the Mo family.

The Mo family also "praised" Prince Zhang and said directly, "It is difficult to prosper the country. This time it is an opportunity for Zhao State to prosper. As long as the powerful princes can be eradicated, Prince Zhang Zhao will have the merits of Xiangzi. Jianzi. When Xiangzi Jianzi started the military merits, it was the Mo family's righteousness to respect the virtuous." Then the Mo family was in Jishui and Wenshui land reform, which made many hereditary nobles start to wait and see.

To this end, there was a large army of Wei in the south, a noble inside watched, and a cousin proclaimed himself a marquis. Qin had no time to seize the Xihe River, and the Mo family announced that it would not take Chengyang Linqiu... The only force that Prince Zhang could ask for was the Mo family troops on Gaoliu.

The Mohist family has been carefully planning to demolish the Three Jins and seeking Hetao, but in fact they have been waiting for a price.
