Chapter 157: Kneel and lick, shame on you!(1/3)
Everything was as Bai Qi expected.
The Yan State has already stationed troops in the enclave of the former Wei State and is ready to go.
After learning that the Qin general Bai Qi had launched an attack on Zhao in the north, the Yan army immediately set out to attack Zhao.
I'm afraid that if I take a step slower, I won't even be able to drink the soup.
On this day, the secret envoy of Zhao also took King Zhao's distress letter and secretly rushed to Chu through Wei to pursue the alliance of the eleven countries in the Central Plains.
......
The coalition army marched to Gangneung City, and the 1.15 million troops stretched for hundreds of miles, which was quite majestic and spectacular.
Viewed from above, it looks like a giant dragon winding.
The king of Chu was in the position of the Chinese army.
At this moment, the king of Chu was sipping fragrant tea.
Putting down the exquisite glass cup, he asked the general beside him, "How far is it from Gangneung City?"
"Your Majesty, there are still two days to go!" the general said respectfully.
King Chu nodded and did not give any other orders.
The coalition forces continued to advance at the same speed.
The King of Chu estimated that the personnel who were now dispatched to deliver supplies should enter the territory of Zhao State.
When the materials are sent to the palace of King Zhao, it will be a month or two later.
Due to the urgency of time, the materials demanded by the Xiongnu were paid in advance by the King of Zhao and sent to the military town in the north to wait for the Xiongnu to pick them up, and then launched an attack on Qin Wei Dao.
The materials that are being sent on the way are used to repay the materials advanced by King Zhao.
In addition, the king of Chu estimated that the 200,000 Hun cavalry corps should be able to reach the border of Zhao in five or six days.
"Your Majesty, the envoy of Zhao State asks to see you!"
Just then, one of the guards ran up and got down on one knee.
The King of Chu nodded: "Let him come to see the widow!"
"No!" the guard stepped back.
Soon, a man with a tired face and a dusty face ran to the King of Chu, knelt down with a puff, and shouted sadly: "King Chu, help, save my Zhao Kingdom!"
"What's going on?"
When the King of Chu heard this, he had a bad premonition in his heart, and he frowned and said, "Stand up and talk carefully!"
"Your Majesty the King of Chu, the State of Qin has sent a large army to attack our Zhao State, and moreover, it is led by General Bai Qi of Qin himself, and my Zhao State cannot resist it at all.
In addition, Yan also stationed a large number of troops in the original Wei enclave, and as soon as they got the Qin army to attack Zhao, they would definitely attack Zhao immediately.
I, Zhao State, can't resist the attack of the Qin-Yan coalition army no matter what!
Please ask His Majesty the King of Chu to quickly send troops to attack Yan, and send an elite army into Zhao to resist the Qin army, otherwise, let the Qin army capture the northern fortress, then the Hun cavalry will not be able to enter the pass.
This is a letter from Your Majesty to you, please take a look at it!"
The envoy of Zhao State stood up and said in an anxious tone.
When the king of Chu heard the news, his face was extremely gloomy, and his whole body exuded a terrifying murderous aura, and he was speechless.
Seeing this, the envoy of Zhao State became even more anxious: "Your Majesty the King of Chu, you send troops quickly, if you send troops a moment earlier, Zhao State will have more hope of persevering!"
"Order the whole army to stop advancing!" King Chu took a heavy breath, raised his hand and said in a deep voice.
The herald immediately went to give the order.
The 1.15 million eleven-nation alliance troops stopped, and the generals couldn't help but wonder.
The generals of various countries came to Wang Ran's place one after another, wanting to ask why the king of Chu ordered the advance to be stopped.
The king of Chu asked the envoy Zhao to explain the situation of Zhao to the generals.
"Damn, why do the Qin people still have so many troops attacking Zhao State!"
"And the damned Yan Kingdom, at this juncture, fight for the tiger! After defeating the Qin State, we will definitely clean up the Yan thieves!"
"Yan Guo's rat feces are really hateful!"
“......”
The generals of the countries scolded angrily.
The envoy of Zhao said: "Qin sent 250,000 new troops into Qin Wei to attack Zhao!"
When the generals learned of this, they did not say anything, and they all looked at the king of Chu.
The other party is the supreme commander of this coalition, so it is natural for the king of Chu to make the decision.
King Chu glanced around at the generals and said, "Everyone, how do you think we should save Zhao?"
"King of Chu, since the Qin State has even sent 250,000 new troops, his homeland must be empty, and the general suggested that we divide a large army to attack Qin Chu Pass. ”
“......”
After the king of Chu and the generals discussed for a while, he ordered in a deep voice:
"1.15 million allied troops from eleven countries, divided into four routes:
The first road of 200,000 horses, led by the general of the Yue Kingdom, went straight to Qinchu Pass, and won this pass in one fell swoop and entered Xianyang;
100,000 horses on the second road, led by General Daiguo, directly aided Zhao;
The third road of 200,000 horses, led by the general of Qi, cut down Yan, forcing Yan to attack Zhao's army to come back;
The fourth road, 650,000 horses, led by King Gu, besieged Jiangling City, waited for the Xiongnu to enter Zhao to launch an attack on Qin Wei Dao, and then attacked Jiangling City. ”
"No!" the admirals respectfully received the order.
The next time, the coalition forces are ready to divide their forces.
"Report!" At this moment, another guard ran to the king of Chu and knelt down.
King Chu said, "What's the matter?"
"King Yuchu, the envoy of the Yue Kingdom has something urgent to see!" the guard said.
The king of Chu frowned slightly: Could it be that something big happened in Yueguo?
"Let him come to the widow!" he said, though.
Soon, the envoy of the Yue Kingdom arrived, and he made it clear that the Wu State was preparing to attack the Yue State, and the King of Yue would transfer back 150,000 Yue troops to fight the Wu State!
When the king of Chu learned of this, his fists clenched and he was furious.
However, in the end, it could only be agreed that the Vietnamese army would return to aid the country.
Even if the king of Chu did not agree, the general of the Yue Kingdom would return to Vietnam with 150,000 Vietnamese troops.
In this way, of the 1.15 million coalition troops, only 1 million remained.
The army besieging Gangneung City has changed from 1.15 million to 500,000, and the other 500,000 troops have been divided into other three places.
Although there were some twists and turns in the coalition forces, they still had to continue to fight against Qin.
This battle is inevitable, if the Qin State is not defeated, the Central Plains States will only be annexed by the Qiang Qin one by one in the future.
Two days later, 500,000 allied troops marched to the outside of Gangneung, but they did not attack the city, but were only divided into two large battalions on the left and right.
Surround but not fight!
The king of Chu was waiting, waiting for Zhao to lift the siege, and 200,000 Xiongnu heavy cavalry corps would enter the pass and attack Qin Wei Dao from the north, and the 500,000 coalition troops would move.
On the closure of Jiangling City, Xue Rengui, who was wearing silver armor, holding Fang Tian's halberd and carrying the heaven-shaking bow, was extraordinary, standing there, and the wind blew his cloak to hunt.
Xue Rengui looked at the allied forces of the nations camped a few miles away, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:
"You think you are hunters, but in fact, you are prey!"
......
Within the territory of the State of Zhao.
General Bai Qi led 100,000 new troops, 20,000 hoplites and the Shenji battalion, invincible all the way, God blocked and killed God, Buddha blocked Buddhas.
In just five days, the two military fortresses in the northernmost part of Zhao State bordering the Xiongnu: Hulan City and Beibei City were taken, and new troops and Shenji battalions were sent to station.
Bai Qi stood at the head of the city of Beibei, looking at the vast grassland in front of him, and all his worries were put down.
Originally, he was worried that if he did not capture Hulan and the two cities of Zhubei, the Xiongnu would enter the customs.
In that case, it will be much more troublesome to destroy Zhao.
Fortunately, what Bai Qi was worried about did not appear.
Another thing is that after Bai Qi attacked the northern city, he found that a large number of materials were piled up in the city: there were 10 million taels of silver alone, not to mention other cloth, grain and grass, pig iron, salt, etc.
Later, when the city guards here were interrogated, they learned that these materials were used to kneel and lick the Xiongnu, hoping that the Xiongnu could deal with the Qin State together with the Central Plains countries.
When Bai Qi and the generals learned of this, they couldn't help but despise the Central Plains countries.
Didn't they call themselves the upper kingdom of the Central Plains and the state of etiquette, and looked down on the barbarians such as the Dog Rong and the Xiongnu?
Now, it's the other way around!
What a shame for the Central Plains!
Now, these materials naturally belong to Daqin!
