The soldiers of the Qin army were horrified: "Fighting like this, wouldn't we be like moths to the fire!"

Bai Qi laughed again: "There is no fire, but water can be used!" He ordered Sima Jin to lead an army of 30,000 to lure the enemy in a virtual battle, but secretly sent 20,000 soldiers to build a dam at a hundred miles from Yanxi to store two waters to irrigate it, drowning hundreds of thousands of Chu soldiers and civilians. Take advantage of the situation to capture Xiling (now Yichang, Hubei). In the following year, he conquered the Chu capital of Ying (northwest of present-day Jiangling, Hubei) and burned the tomb of the king of Chu (southwest of present-day Yichang County, Hubei). Then Bai Qi led his army up the river, Kewu (now north of Wushan, Sichuan), and went south to Dingqianzhong (now western Hunan).

The king of Chu fled and had to move his capital to Chen (now Huaiyang, Henan), still called Ying. After the king of Chu moved the capital to Chen, he gathered the armed forces of the eastern land of Chu, and only got more than 100,000 remnants of the army, although he recaptured the fifteen towns by the river occupied by Qin to the west, but he was greatly injured and lost the ability to compete with Qin.

Bai Qi led the army back triumphantly. King Qin rewarded him with a big deal, especially Bai Qi, which was a heavy reward!

"The bounty is 10,000 taels, the good land is 10,000 tilts, and the knight 'Wu Anjun'......" After the imperial envoy finished announcing the decree, Bai Qi knelt on the ground: "The king, the ministers don't want these rewards!"

At this time, the king of Qin and all the ministers were taken aback: "Wu Anjun, why?

"The king gave a heavy reward, but the minister didn't want it!"

"Then what do you want?" Seeing Bai Qi stumbling, King Qin hurriedly said: "General Bai Qi's merits are world-renowned, just open your mouth if you want!"

At the urging of King Qin, Bai Qi plucked up his courage, bowed to the ground, and muttered, "The minister only needs the princess!"

King Qin's face suddenly changed: "What, what did you say?

Bai Qi shook his head gently: "The king didn't hear it wrong, the minister doesn't want any reward, the minister only needs to marry the princess......"

King Qin laughed and said: "Wu Anjun, everyone knows this, why don't you know about it? The princess already has a family, how can you talk about marriage again?"

Bai Qi's face changed suddenly, and he said in a trembling voice: "I don't know!"

"That's good," King Qin pointed to his ministers and said, "You can ask them in a while, and you'll know!"

The beggar king explained in person. ”

"Oh, so. The widow remembers to tell you a long time ago that the princess has promised to marry King Zhao!"

Bai Qi's eyes suddenly shot at Fan Ju, and Fan Sui smiled: "Although the princess is not officially engaged to King Zhao, the king does have an intention. Xiang Bai Qi nodded slightly, meaning to say, "You asked me to delay the princess's wedding, I can do it!"

Bai Qi said: "How is this possible? Zhao Guo is my great rival of Great Qin, sending the princess to Zhao State, wouldn't it send sheep into the tiger's mouth?"

King Qin suddenly looked angry: "Wu Anjun, you have a lot of care, this is a matter of the widow's family!"

Once the princess becomes a hostage, it will shake the entire Qin State!"

King Qin laughed: "Wu Anjun, thank you for sharing the worries of the widow! It's just that if the princess marries into the Zhao Kingdom, she will become the mother of the Zhao Kingdom, and she will be the mother of the world, and her descendants will be the future monarch of the Zhao Kingdom, how can she become hostages?"

"This is just an assumption, everything is not yet a foregone conclusion, please don't let the princess take this risk!"

King Qin waved his hand: "Wu Anjun, the matter of marriage has been brewing for a long time, and there is only one banquet left!"

Bai Qi widened his eyes: "Great King, at that time, it was my Great Qin and Qiang Chu who were fighting, and I was afraid that Zhao Guo would cause trouble behind him, so I was kind enough to appease." Now that the state of Chu has been peaceful, there is no need to sacrifice the princess anymore......"

King Qin said angrily: "The princess is the flesh of the widow's heart, and she would rather sacrifice the country than the princess!" Wu Anjun, you are tired, take a good rest!"

At this moment, the military envoy came to report: "Shangdang County guards Feng Ting and does not surrender to Qin, but to Zhao!"

King Qin's face suddenly changed greatly, and the full hall of civil and military forces was also shocked. King Qin said angrily: "I lost my soldiers and generals, but I let Zhao Guo choose a bargain!"

Bai Qi immediately said: "King, the minister is willing to lead troops to recapture Shangdang!"

King Qin glanced at Bai Qi and said, "Wu Anjun, you are tired from the expedition, you should rest, let General Wang Yi go." ”

In the forty-second year of King Zhao of Qin (262 B.C.), Qin invaded Han and took Shaoqu (now the bend of Shaoshui in the northeast of Jiyuan City, Henan) and Gaoping (now Gaoping City, Shanxi Province). In the forty-third year, he captured Han's Shen (now northeast of Quwo, Shanxi). In the 44th year, he captured Nanyang Land south of Han Taihang Mountain, in an attempt to cut off the connection between Han's Shangdang and the mainland. In the forty-fifth year, he conquered ten cities including Yewang (now Qinyang, Henan) in Korea, and completely cut off the connection between the Shangdang in Korea and the mainland.

King Han asked Shangdang County Guard Feng Ting to dedicate Shangdang to Qin in order to ask Qin to rest his soldiers. Feng Ting didn't listen, but decided to dedicate the seventeen counties of Shangdang County to Zhao Guo.

At this time, King Huiwen of Zhao had died and was succeeded by his son King Xiaocheng. King Xiaocheng wanted to get this land and asked for the opinions of his subordinates, but Zhao Bao, the king of Pingyang, advocated not accepting it, because it would cause the Qin state to attack, and Zhao Sheng and Zhao Yu, the kings of the plains, advocated accepting.

As a result, Zhao accepted Feng Ting's land, Zhao Feng Ting was Huayang Jun, ate three ten thousand cities, sealed three thousand cities, and gave the officials and people three knights. Zhao then sent an army to take the party, and sent Lian Po to lead an army to garrison Changping in case the Qin army attacked.

In this way, the fuse of one of the biggest and most brutal wars of the Warring States period was ignited!

The land of Shangdang entered the state of Zhao, of course Qin was unwilling, and the king of Qin immediately sent the chief of the left to attack Zhao Changping. Zhao Jianglian knew that Qin was attacking from afar, and if he wanted to fight quickly, he adopted the strategy of waiting for the Qin army to be tired and then counterattacking. Lian Po held out for three years without attacking, and the Qin army could not enter.

In this way, the economy of the Qin state was overwhelmed. King Qin asked Ji Yu Fan anxiously: "Fan Aiqing, can this battle still be fought?"

Fan said: "The battle has come to this point, and it can't be easily stopped!"

"What then?"

"Lian Po is a famous general of Zhao, and the king should be a member of the faction who can suppress his generals!"

"That general can do this?"

Fan shook his head slightly.

King Qin suddenly said hurriedly: "How is this possible, my great Qin is like a cloud, and I am still afraid that Lian Po will not succeed?"

"You don't need to be like a cloud, you just need one!"

"You say Lian Po too much, the widow doesn't believe that he can compare to the widow's Wu Anjun!"

Fan smiled and said: "Of course it can't be compared! Wu Anjun Bai Qi is the number one general in the world, and no one can match it!"

King Qin also smiled: "Isn't this done!" King Qin sighed: "I didn't want to use Wu Anjun in this battle, it seems that I can't do without him!"

"You can't use him!" Fan said.

King Qin shuddered: "Why?"

"Bai Qi and Lian Po are both the world's leading generals, and Bai Qi cannot completely suppress Lian Po. Although it is not defeated, it is difficult to win completely. ”

"Oh, Aiqing, who do you say can completely suppress Lian Po?"

"Wu Anjun can't be suppressed, how can he talk about others?"
