Chapter 300: Defeated
The two decisive battles between Qi and Yan and Zhao were both won by less and more, and they won a complete victory. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Therefore, the hundred officials and even the people have great confidence in Gu Min and Zhao Yan's dispatch of troops this time.
But on the tenth day after the dispatch of the army, the battle report was transmitted back to the Qi State, and the hundred officials were stunned, and the 50,000 army led by Gu Min was actually defeated in the hands of Qin Baxian, and it was a battle, and 20,000 Qi soldiers died in battle, and Gu Min, who was the general of the army, died in battle.
Although Gu Min was a general of the Zhao State, the art of war he mastered was not weak, not to mention, Song Yan taught him the method of cultivation, and he reached the innate level under his cultivation, but he was still defeated by Qin Baxian.
Baiguan only got the news of Gu Min's defeat, but he didn't know how he was defeated.
But what Song Yan got was detailed information, and after reading the battlefield news sent back by the spies, he had to sigh that Qin Baxian was worthy of being the son of the plane, and that luck was really good.
Gu Min is a veteran with a calm personality.
When he led his troops into the territory of Yan State, he did not rush to attack Qin Baxian, but adopted a step-by-step combat method, and within a few days, he recaptured a county town.
But unexpectedly, Qin Ba had already dug a tree in this county to lead to the outside of the city.
Therefore, after Gu Min's army was stationed in the county seat, Qin Baxian ordered people to sneak into the city through the tunnels and secretly burn the grain and grass of the Qi army.
I have to say here that Qin Baxian's luck is so good.
After igniting the grain and grass, he actually ignited the powder magazine.
And because the grain and grass were burned, Gu Min personally went to command the troops to extinguish the fire, and the powder magazine happened to explode at that moment, even if Gu Min cultivated to a high level, he couldn't withstand the power of tens of thousands of catties of explosives to explode together, so he was killed on the spot.
At the same time, none of the thousands of soldiers fighting the fire were killed.
There was a big explosion in the city, Qin Ba saw the opportunity first, took advantage of the civil strife among the troops, and opened the city gate and rushed into the city in one fell swoop.
When the commander died, the Qi soldiers were like losing their backbone, and Qin Baxian happened to enter the city at this time, so the Qi soldiers did not form an effective resistance at all, so they lost the city and left.
Fortunately, Gu Min still has a capable lieutenant general, barely collecting 30,000 remnants.
However, he lacked food and grass and could no longer fight against Qin Baxian, but fled to Qi with 30,000 remnants of soldiers.
Putting down the information, Song Yan sighed secretly, what kind of shit luck did this Qin Baxian take, he actually sent someone to burn grain and grass and set fire to the powder magazine.
However, Zhao Yan's side did not disappoint Song Yan.
Ten days later, he had recaptured the two counties for Zhao State, and defeated the veteran Meng Feng of Qin State one after another.
Thinking of this, Song Yan felt the need to remind Zhao Yan to let him fire and waterproof the powder magazine, so as not to repeat the mistakes of Gu Min.
Gu Min's defeat made the whole Qi country very disappointed.
The ministers and generals gathered again at the General's Mansion and begged the General for advice.
At this meeting, Song Yan issued two orders.
First, send 50,000 soldiers and horses to meet the 30,000 remnants, and second, send another 30,000 elites to Zhao Yan's side.
However, in this meeting, some people put forward the hope that the general would lead the troops to recruit in person.
However, Song Yan refused, he would leave this world as long as he completed the task, so he didn't want Qi Guo to rely on him too much, which was why he chose to delegate power in the past few months.
Otherwise, when the hundred officials will develop the habit of relying on him, after he leaves, what will Qi Guo do?
On the other hand, Qin Baxian also defeated Gu Min, the general of Qi, and his fame rose to a higher level, faintly surpassing Song Yan's limelight.
A few days later, the remnants of the 30,000 soldiers of the Qi State were brought back to the Qi State.
Song Yan personally met with these remnants and gave them some encouragement.
As for the dead soldiers, Song Yan was not stingy, and ordered the local officials to complete the statistics within ten days and distribute the compensation to the deceased's family.
At the same time, the envoys of the Qin State came to Linshui County.
The envoy of the Qin State is called Wu Yan, who is the deputy minister of the Qin State, and this person is not small in the Qin State, and he is famous for his eloquence.
After Wu Yan met Jiang Dan, the king of Qi, he came to the General's Mansion alone.
General's Mansion, meeting room.
Song Yan took a cup of tea and drank it slowly, but Wu Yan, who was sitting under him, talked eloquently, spitting everywhere, and his tone was sometimes excited, sometimes high.
If you put it into the real world, you will definitely become a very famous speaker.
After talking for an hour, Wu Yan stopped, looked at Song Yan and said, "What does the general think of the suggestion?"
In this hour, Wu Yan mainly emphasized how powerful the Qin State was, and the Qi State and the Qin State were enemies, and they would only lose both, so he persuaded Song Yan to cooperate with the Qin State and jointly carve up the two countries of Yan and Zhao.
"Not very good. Song Yan said lightly.
"General, please listen to ......!"
Seeing that Wu Yan had a tendency to talk at length again, Song Yan raised his hand, and at the same time, his slightly lazy body also sat up straight: "I have exhausted the troops of Yan and Zhao, why should I be cheap to your Qin State, in a word, if the soldiers and horses of Qin State return to Qin State, and return all the land of Yan and Zhao countries, and then hand over Qin Ba to my Qi State first, I can not blame the past, otherwise, Qin State will wait to destroy the country!"
"What?"
Hearing Song Yan's request, Wu Yan couldn't help but be angry no matter how good he was: "General, don't you think your conditions are too much?" You must know that my Qin State is not weaker than the Qi State, and once a war starts, it will not be beneficial to both countries!"
Song Yan said lightly: "Then you can do whatever you want! In short, I will only give you a chance to think about it for ten days, and if this time is exceeded, I will mobilize the power of the whole country to attack the Qin State!"
Hearing Song Yan's threat, Wu Yan couldn't help but turn blue with anger: "General, you are too arrogant, although I admit that you have a good way of leading the troops, but I also have military wizards in the Qin State who don't need you to be weak......!"
"Someone, send off!"
After listening to Wu Yan's nonsense for an hour, Song Yan was already impatient, how could he be in the mood to continue listening.
"General, you will regret your decision today!"
Before leaving, Wu Yan shouted at Song Yan.
The next day, Song Yan sent a thousand wolf cavalry to the battlefield, handed it over to Zhao Yan, and gave him a fateful order that the Qin army led by Meng Feng must be beaten out of Zhao within ten days.
Zhao Yan did not live up to Song Yan's expectations, and with the help of wolf cavalry, in just seven days, he recaptured all the lost territories of Zhao State, and in several battles, he killed no less than 20,000 Qin soldiers.
Meng Feng's defeat made Qin realize that Qi was not as easy to bully as he imagined.
In desperation, the King of Qin issued an order, ordering Qin Ba to temporarily stop attacking Yan and let him lead his troops into Zhao to deal with Zhao Yan.
Under the attack of Qin Baxian, in addition to the national capital, there is only one county town left in the Yan Kingdom, and in ten days at most, the Yan Kingdom will be officially destroyed.
But the King of Qin came to the will.
In this regard, Qin Baxian felt very unwilling, and was planning to go against the will of King Qin and defeat Yan Guo first.
At this moment, the female minister Ji Yuxi also ordered someone to send the news.
Qin Baxian could not listen to King Qin, but he would not disobey Ji Yuxi's orders, so he had no choice but to withdraw his troops and turn to Zhao State.
