Ying Zheng consulted with the ministers of the DPRK and China for a month, and finally decided on the final plan for attacking Zhao and the coordination of various aspects.

At the beginning of July, the Qin State secretly mobilized an army of 150,000 troops in the Lantian camp and transferred them to Hanoi County, and formed an army of 250,000 with the 100,000 Killing God Legion in Hanoi County, with Bai Qi as the commander and Wang Jian and Huan Qi as the deputy commanders. As for the 100,000 army led by Jiang Wu in the southwest of Xichuan, the 50,000 cavalry led by the deputy general Jiang Wen went north to detour through the grassland to reach Shangjun in the north of Qin, and then entered Taiyuan County from Shangjun to the east and converged with Sima Cuo's 100,000 army to form a second road attack on Zhao's army, with Sima Cuo (also the deputy marshal) as the main general, Huo Qubing and Jiang Wen as the deputy generals.

The supreme commander of the two armies is Bai Qi, which means that when necessary, Sima Cuo's 150,000 army must obey Bai Qi's military orders.

In August, Zhao raised troops to attack Yan, led by Lian Po and Lecheng, and Yan was defeated. Under the persuasion of the ministers, King Yan sent Prince Dan to Qin as a hostage and asked Qin to send troops to rescue.

At the beginning of September, Yan Dan arrived in Xianyang, Qin State, Yingzheng was busy with government affairs, and did not summon him, so he sent someone to arrange the courtyard as his residence. Zhang Yi of Zhao had received the edict of Ying Zheng and returned to Qin, and he remained in Zhao as an envoy to Qin.

Suddenly received the news and asked to meet King Zhao, but King Zhao was gone. In fact, the power of Zhao is basically controlled by Guo Kai, and only the royal patriarch Pingyuan Jun and others can compete with it. However, Zhao's attack on Yan is a joint decision of both sides, and no one wants to see a weak one, and a weak one is just a show, and no one is better to see it.

Qin replied to Yan and insisted for two months, Qin sent troops to rescue, and King Yan got a reply and scolded Qin for being shameless, which is the attitude of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight. But he couldn't, so he could only recruit new soldiers to fight against Zhao Guo.

The Zhao front was stretched too long, and there was no food to transport in the country, so the offensive gradually slowed down.

Soon, in winter, Zhao had no choice but to cease fighting, and Yan once again asked Qin for help. The state of Qin agreed to send troops in the spring of next year, and King Yan's worried heart was a little calmer.

The news that Qin had already dispatched a large army to Hanoi County and Taiyuan County was exposed, and the State of Zhao was shaken, and King Zhao did not care about anything. The veteran faction of Zhao and the Guo Kaifaction once again cooperated and mobilized the army back to defend Handan and Jingcheng.

What Qin Guo was afraid of was not that Zhao Guo would transfer back the army, but that Zhao State would defend, like a turtle shell, and you must know that the battle damage of the defender is often much smaller than that of the attacker. If Zhao dares to fight against the army of Qin, and fight to the death, Qin will not be able to fight, Qin is very confident, and if the living force of Zhao is destroyed in a war, Zhao can declare the destruction of the country.

The purpose of attacking Zhao was learned by Zhao State, and Ying Zheng's edict was sent back: Bai Qi, Sima Cuo, Wang Qian, Huan Qi, Jiang Wu and other generals returned to Xianyang to discuss matters.

It is necessary to attack the Zhao State, and the countless grain and grass of the Qin State have already been transported to the two counties for hoarding, if the attack on Zhao is abandoned, I don't know how much grain will rot in the two counties, as well as the manpower and material resources used, and the people who have been summoned by the counties. This village is one by one, and there are too many involved, and it is not that if you don't want to attack, you won't attack.

Of course, the main thing is that the Qin State is not afraid of the Zhao State, and if it is defeated, no matter how much resources are used and wasted, it will not send troops.

In the eighth year of the reign of King Qin, November 15.

Xianyang Palace, the main hall of the council.

The Cabinet, the Military Cabinet Pavilion, the Tiance Mansion, the Six Ministries, the Tingwei Mansion, and the generals in the army: Bai Qi, Sima Cuo, Wang Qian, Huo Quzhi, Huan Qi, Jiang Wen, etc., all arrived, which is regarded as the most deliberations of the ministers of civil and military affairs in addition to the court meeting.

Ying Zheng entered the hall, after the monarch and the ministers saluted, Wei Ran of the Military Aircraft Pavilion got up and saluted Ying Zheng first, and then said: "You all know that the news that my Qin State wants to start a war with Zhao State has been discovered by Zhao State, and now it has been transferred back to defense. ”

Ying Zheng saw that no one spoke, and said: "You ministers can speak freely, and there is no need to worry too much. ”

Wei Yu said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Zhao can be attacked in three ways. ”

Ying Zheng said: "Lone has already said, there is no need to be polite, just speak freely." ”

Wei Yu was no longer polite, and said: "There are 50,000 troops left in Yunzhong County in the north of Zhao State, and these 50,000 troops are the elite of Zhao State, which was trained by Li Mu, and now he is the commander of Sima Shang. One is to prevent it from going south to support Handan. Second, if Jingcheng is captured by our army, it will not fall into a situation of being attacked by the enemy before and after. The third is that the army of Jiuyuan County can become the third army to attack Zhao and support the Jingcheng army at a critical moment. ”

"Color. The general of the hall shouted.

Wang Jian got up and said: "Very good, the three-way attack has made the main force of Zhao have to fight." ”

Huo Quzhi said: "If there is a change in Handan, Zhao Guo will definitely transfer back the 50,000 troops of Yunzhong County, and then Jiuyuan County and Jingcheng will attack from the two sides to destroy its elite, and there will be no threat for our army to attack Handan from the north and south." Good idea. ”

After some deliberation, the generals reported on the siege of the city, weapons, armor, bows and arrows, etc.

After everyone had no objections, the main army was still Bai Qi led 250,000 troops from Hanoi County to the north, Sima Cuo led 100,000 east out of Jingcheng, and Huo Qubing led 50,000 troops to Jiuyuan County, responsible for containing the 50,000 army of Sima Shang of Zhao State.

The plan for attacking Zhao was decided, and then it was time to discuss the mutual cooperation between the armies. In addition, the transportation of grain and grass is in charge of the Ministry of War, and Meng Wu is responsible for transportation, and Yingzheng has already said that there must be no problem with the supply of grain and grass.

All the matters were discussed, the Qin court was running rapidly, and all the grain and grass equipment needed in the back were prepared and continued to be transported to the outside of the customs.

Wang Qian, Huan Qi, and Sima Cuo waited out of the palace, and they were all invited to their mansions by Bai Qi.

In the study.

Bai took the main seat, and the generals sat in two columns.

Bai Qi said: "The army is about to be dispatched, you all know, the martial style of Zhao is no less than that of my Qin State, attack Zhao in the spring, and the power of the whole country in order to destroy Zhao, after entering Zhao, everywhere is a battlefield, don't underestimate the people of Zhao." ”

"In the battle to destroy the country, the people of Zhao will definitely resist to the death, and the danger is lurking, and the last general will understand. ”

A cadre of generals replied.

Bai Qi continued: "Qin and Zhao's decisive battle: quit Jiaojiao and quit dryness, and destroy Zhao in one fell swoop. ”

"Quit coquettishness and dryness, and destroy Zhao in one fell swoop. The generals said loudly.

Bai Qi said: "Remember: divide the troops, you need to take 'stability' as the first thing to march into, and before issuing the order, you must consider the overall situation of destroying Zhao, and you must not weigh the pros and cons for the sake of the gains and losses of one city and one place." ”

"No. The general said again.

"The affairs of each army shall be determined by themselves and shall bear their own merits and responsibilities, and if there is a small loss of majority, military law shall be carried out. ”

"Scattered. ”

Bai Qi finally said.

"The last general commands the army. The generals arched their hands.

Bai Qi and the generals returned to the army, reorganized the army, and waited for the spring of the next year, and sent troops to Zhao and destroyed Zhao.

Ying Zheng gave them a lot of autonomy, knowing that marching and fighting are changing rapidly, and if every decision has to be reported to the king, the military cabinet, and waiting for approval and reply, the journey alone will take several days, which is too inconvenient. Therefore, Ying Zheng affirmed that he only knew the military situation, and the rest was all decided by the generals. In order to destroy Zhao with one blow.
