also received the letter of state from Qin Shi Huang, but the mood of King Zhao and King Chu was completely different. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Qin Shi Huang congratulated Zhao Guoping on the destruction of Yan State in his reply, and congratulated King Mourning Xiang on succeeding to the throne as King Zhao, and then changed his words and asked King Zhao directly for the Ding of Yan State, and also threatened to last for one month, if it was not delivered, he would send someone to pick it up.

This is tantamount to Qin Shi Huang declaring war on Zhao under the pretext of begging for Yan Ding.

King Zhao panicked, hurriedly convened the ministers to discuss, the Manchu civil and military heard that Qin Shi Huang forced Yan Ding, although indignant, but no one dared to say the words of refusing Qin Shi Huang's unreasonable demands.

King Zhao asked Ji Lecheng, Lecheng was cowardly, and proposed to give Yan Ding to Qin State, self-mocking, just a Ding, and it is also Yan Guo's, what does it matter if it is given to Qin Shi Huang?

Zhao Wang Na Lecheng suggested that he send someone to escort Yan Ding to Qin State.

When Li Mu, the king of Wu'an, heard this, closed the gate of Handan and refused to pass, he was furious, and slandered Li Mu in front of the king of Zhao for disobeying the military order and disrespecting, if this angered the Qin state, the Qin army was afraid that the army would come to the city soon.

King Zhao issued an order and angrily reprimanded Li Mu, but King Zhao knew that Li Mu was good at fighting and did not dare to strip Li Mu of his military power, but only cut the knight and fined him as a warning.

Li Mu stood at the head of Handan City with tears in his eyes, watching the team escorting Yan Ding to Qin pass under his feet, and two old tears rolled down the city.

Qin Suo Ding, it is really a temptation, give or not, there will definitely be a vicious battle between Qin and Zhao, instead of humiliating the Ding, it is better to prepare the army for war, if Lian Po is still there, he will definitely not agree to such a shameful sending Ding to sue for peace.

Li Mu's guess was right, Zhao envoy sent Yan Ding to Xianyang, Qin Shi Huang just glanced at it, and then laughed and asked people to carry it down to Xianyang Palace, and then repaired a book and handed it to Zhao envoy to bring back.

Zhao returned to Jicheng non-stop and presented a letter from Qin Shi Huang.

King Zhao saw Qin Shi Huang's reply, sat down in a daze, and the reply fell to the ground, his face had lost its blood.

Le Cheng carefully picked up the book from King Zhao's feet, read it carefully, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help twitching.

Qin Shi Huang thanked King Zhao for his gift, but in his words he was proud, and he saw humiliation but not sincerity between the lines, but this is not the point, Qin Shi Huang opened his mouth this time, and went straight to King Zhao to ask for He's Bi, which is also for a period of one month, if you don't agree to send someone to take it yourself.

King Zhao looked at Le Cheng in a panic, and stammered and asked, "General Le, Yingzheng asked for He's Bi, how is this good?" ”

Le Cheng grinned bitterly, and asked King Zhao tentatively: "King, He's Bi is just a stone, is it really that heavy?" ”

Listening to the meaning of Le Cheng, it seemed that he had the intention of giving the He family bi to Qin Shi Huang, Zhao Wang slapped on several cases, glared at Le Cheng and shouted: "There is no need to discuss this matter again, pass on the order, reorganize the army and prepare for war!" ”

Qin and Zhao have been in conflict several times for the sake of the clan, and for this reason, there have been countless people who have been splashed with blood on the battlefield, and the prime minister of the country has even used Ning as a jade crusher, which has been preserved.

He's Bi is not just a piece of rare treasure, it represents the rise and fall of a country.

Looking at the timid appearance of Lecheng in front of him, King Zhao suddenly remembered the iron-clad veteran Lian Po, but unfortunately, Lian Po was already a general in the Qin State at the moment.

Zhao State exerted all its national strength and gathered 300,000 troops in Handan, with Le Cheng as the commander, Li Mu as the deputy commander, more than 100 generals and deputy generals, and 200,000 stones of grain and grass.

The Qin State also gathered 300,000 troops on the Qin-Zhao border, with Meng Biao as the commander, Lian Po and Wang Jian as the deputy commanders, and Meng Wu, Meng Tian, Hengqi and other generals accompanied the conquest.

The battle between Qin and Zhao was about to break out.

On the other side of Hangu Pass, there is a group of singing, dancing, singing, singing and laughing, the Chu people handed over Qi Ding to the Qin people, and the Qin people opened a warehouse and delivered 200,000 stone corn to the Chu people.

200,000 stone corn was transported to Chu through Hangu Pass, and the carriages and horses transporting corn could not be seen at a glance, and they were mighty, like the momentum of a million army marching out.

Chunshenjun Huang Xie personally sat in Nanyang, commanded the county officials who had been waiting for a long time to distribute corn and rush back to their respective territories, and immediately shoveled the corn seedlings that had grown palm-high in the field to plant corn, this time was a little tight, but most of the Chu State was located in the south, and the climate was warm, but it would not affect the two crops of corn.

As long as the high-yield corn can be harvested in two seasons, the state of Chu will completely get rid of the food problem, and there will even be a large amount of surplus grain for winemaking, or even squandering.

Huang Xie had already foreseen the future of the Chu State, the only regret was that he did not expect that the Qin State and the Zhao State would suddenly become hostile, and the two countries would have troops in the border, and a big war would break out.

Qin and Zhao are at war, of course Chu is happy to see it, Huang Xie regrets that he and Xiong Wan originally planned to wait for the corn harvest of Chu State, and wait for the next year when the Chu people take the lead in attacking Zhao State, but now they are robbed by the Qin people, Huang Xie only hopes that Qin and Zhao can fight for both defeats, so that the ending will be more perfect, and then the Chu people can be left and right, and who they want to attack is only between him and Xiong Wan.

Huang Xie personally presided over the distribution of 200,000 stone corn to the counties, and then inspected the counties and counties non-stop, to check the implementation of the sowing situation in the counties, there were several county commanders in the eradication of millet seedlings because of the reluctance to ambush in their hearts, resulting in the distribution of corn was not completely sown, Huang Xie was angry and cut off a few heads, and then the corn promotion immediately became much smoother, some counties and counties even squeezed out the fruit and vegetable fields to sow corn, which made Huang Xie feel very gratified.

With less fruits and vegetables and more grain, it only takes next year for a powerful Chu State to sweep the Central Plains and dominate the world.

Not to mention that the state of Chu is rushing to plant corn day and night, in Handan City, Zhao Jun coach Le Cheng and deputy marshal Li Muzheng are in trouble.

Lecheng planned to display 300,000 troops on the Qin-Zhao border, and the main battlefield was also placed in the border area to defend against the enemy outside the border.

Li Mu and Le Cheng disagreed, Li Mu proposed to let the Qin army enter the pass, the Zhao army refused to defend the city, and 300,000 troops were stationed in Handan City and the surrounding five satellite cities, fighting a protracted battle with the Qin army, waiting for the sky to change.

The two of them broke their heads for this, and each wrote to King Zhao to state his views.

Le Chengyan: Li Mu was timid and did not dare to fight with the Qin army, so he suggested that Li Mu be removed and replaced by someone else.

Li Muyan: Le Cheng adventurous, the Qin-Zhao border area is vast, the Qin people are good at riding and fighting, and the Qin people in the vast land are no less than self-defeating, if this battle is fought with the Qin Plain, the result can be compared to the Battle of Changping, and the Zhao State is in danger.

King Zhao had a splitting headache and summoned his ministers to discuss.

At this time, the general Pang Xuan returned from the Eastern Expedition with 30,000 divisions, and King Zhao was overjoyed and asked Pang Xuan for advice, and Pang Xuan replied: The two generals are not wrong, and they can divide their troops and sustain themselves.

So King Zhao issued an edict to reply to the two generals of Lecheng Li Mu, divide the troops and defend them, echoing left and right.

Le Cheng led 250,000 troops to set up camp on the border of Qin and Zhao and confronted the Qin soldiers, and Li Mu led 50,000 troops to defend Handan.

After hearing the report, Meng Qian laughed, stretched out his hand and patted Wang Jian on the shoulder and said, "General Wang, it depends on you whether this battle can directly smash Huanglong and destroy Zhao State in one fell swoop." ”

Wang Jian responded loudly at Meng Fu in high spirits: "The last general only needs 30,000 horsemen, and he can kill Lecheng and lose his armor and defeat the army." ”

The veteran Lian Po frowned and said: "General Wang must not underestimate the enemy, although Lecheng is cowardly, but the Zhao army is a division of a hundred battles, not a clay sculpture, with 30,000 to break 250,000 ......"

Looking at Lian Po, who shook his head and was silent, Meng Fu and Wang Jian couldn't help laughing.

Lian Po looked at the laughing Meng Qian in confusion, he led the Zhao army to fight for decades, knowing that the combat effectiveness of the Zhao army is not so vulnerable, when it comes to the combat effectiveness of the three kingdom armies, the Qin people are undoubtedly the first, Zhao Cizhi, the Chu people are the weakest, but they are better than the people. If it weren't for the Battle of Changping, the Zhao people would definitely have the strength to compete with the Qin people. Now Wang Jian actually said that 30,000 rode to break the 250,000 Zhao people, and Lian Po naturally didn't believe it.

Wang Jian walked up to Lian Po with a smile and said with a smile: "General Lian doesn't know anything about ......"

Meng Fu on the side hurriedly coughed twice.

Wang Jian smiled and said to Meng Fu: "Right Minister, Gongzi said, suspicious people don't need to be suspicious, although General Lian is a Zhao person, but now he is a general of my Qin State, before leaving, Gongzi told him that General Lian has rich experience in warfare, and he must listen to General Lian's opinions more when marching and fighting, and that matter can also be said to General Lian in advance, so as to better deploy tactics." ”

Meng Fu laughed dryly twice, Tang Dou had also told him this, but in his heart, he had always treated Lian Po as an enemy, even if he was not an enemy, he was not so close, after all, the two had been enemies for decades, and they were still not comfortable with being ministers in the same hall for a while.

In fact, Lian Po also understands Meng Fei's mood, and it is impossible for him to immediately talk to Meng Fu, but what Lian Po cares about at this time is not these, but the incident in Wang Qian's mouth.

Wang Jian laughed, stretched out his hand to grab Lian Po's arm, and said with a smile: "General Lian, please come with me, I will take you to see the 30,000 iron cavalry that I can break the Zhao army's 250,000." (To be continued.) )
