Since the defeat of Huan Qi and the annihilation of the 100,000 army of Hu Yuan, the two armies have fallen into an endless confrontation, Pang Nuan did not dare to attack easily, and Huan Qi also only retreated in the city to defend.

Not a single major battle was fought, and small frictions rarely occurred, so the armies of the two countries had been facing each other for more than two months, and the soldiers on both sides were exhausted.

However, just when the two armies were facing each other, Handan, the capital of Zhao State, welcomed an uninvited guest from Xianyang, who was Yao Jia.

After Yao Jia arrived in Handan, he immediately ran back and forth to the homes of officials of Zhao State in Handan City through Lü Buwei's relationship, but he did not go to see King Zhao for a long time, and after he had been in Handan City for a month, he suddenly left Handan, left the territory of Zhao State, and went straight to Chu State with his mission.

After Yao Jia left, several important ministers of Zhao began to write to King Zhao one after another, and their rhetoric was basically of a unified voice.

The military strength of the Qin State is not weaker than that of the Zhao State, and more importantly, the Qin army has no intention of starting a decisive battle with the Zhao army now, if the troops have been piled up on the Qin and Zhao fronts, I am afraid that with the current situation of the Zhao State, the Qin State will not be able to consume the Qin State at all.

In order to avoid the recurrence of the tragedy of the Battle of Changping, Zhao had to withdraw its troops.

Immediately afterwards, after King Zhao decided to withdraw the army, almost all the courtiers of Zhao State, no matter how big or small, as long as they were in Handan, all wanted Li Mu to come out to organize the withdrawal of the army, and not to continue to stay in Yanmen.

Now it's interesting.

King Zhao didn't treat Li Mu very much, but he knew that Li Mu was the god of war of Zhao and could save Zhao at a critical moment, so King Zhao always recruited Li Mu to Handan when he needed him, and when he didn't need him, he put him in Yanmen to deter the Huns.

Now the Zhao army is about to withdraw from the battlefield, and the Qin army has not been able to retreat, but all the ministers want to let themselves recruit Li Mu back to lead the army!

King Zhao slandered for a while in his heart, and decided that it must be Li Mu who wanted military power, so he specially asked these ministers to say so, and Li Mu now has another label in King Zhao's heart - greed for power!

......

"Report! The Zhao army retreated five miles! ”

"When?"

"It must have been last night."

Early in the morning, before Huan Qi opened his eyes, he heard the soldier's report, and Zhao Jun actually retreated quietly for five miles at night without saying a word.

The distance of five miles is not long, but the meaning of this is more, Huan Qi hurriedly went to the city wall to observe, and found that this was indeed the case, and Huan Qi, who realized that the situation might not be right, immediately ordered the whole army to prepare for the siege of the Zhao army.

Immediately after midnight that day, Huan Qi personally led several scouts out of the city quietly, wanting to find out what the hell Zhao Jun was up to.

But what Huan Qi didn't expect was that what he saw was that Zhao Jun was quietly retreating under the night!

"Strange, what's going on?"

Huan Qi really couldn't figure out why the Dao Zhao army retreated suddenly, and it was still at night, and they only retreated three or five miles at a time.

"Is it possible that there is a problem with the grain and grass? I have heard that this year's Zhao country has a severe drought and the harvest has dropped sharply. ”

"You mean that Zhao Jun really plans to withdraw?"

After listening to Yang Duanhe's analysis, Huan Qi still couldn't believe it.

Even if you want to withdraw because of food and grass problems, you have to fight at least a fight, right?

You Pang Nuan held an army of more than 100,000 people around a small Anyang city for three months, and then left directly without a sound?

"Brother Yang, I will leave this place to you for the time being, this matter is very important, I must return to Xianyang as soon as possible and ask the Taifu. In addition, you must pay close attention to Zhao Jun's movements, and you must not act rashly. ”

Handing over the command of the front line to Yang Duanhe, Huan Qi did not stop for a moment, and directly stepped on the fast horse and went straight to Xianyang.

Seven days later, in Xianyang City, in the Taifu Mansion, Huan Qi told Li Ling everything he had seen about the abnormalities of the Zhao army.

"If the Zhao army really has a problem with food and grass, and he has to choose to retreat, then this is definitely a godsend for our army, as long as the boss allows me, I can definitely break the Zhao army and cut off that Pang Nuan's head to give the boss a night pot."

Huan Qi's excitement is beyond words, there is a big crisis in Zhao Jun, so it will be a big turn for Qin Jun!

As long as he seizes this rare opportunity, he has full confidence that he will defeat the Zhao army in one fell swoop and completely bury the Zhao State, and even if Li Mu comes, he will definitely not be able to make any waves.

"You don't have a lot of troops in your hands, although when you attack out, the Zhao army may be defeated because of the instability of the army, but don't think the Zhao army is too weak."

"Boss, do you have a map here?"

"Qiushui, you go and get me the map."

Hearing that Huan Qi asked for a map, Li Ling estimated that this guy must have a specific plan of action, and it just so happened that the most important thing he lacked here was a map, so he directly ordered Qiushui to get a map of the Qin-Zhao border.

"I plan to send a part of the troops led by Yang Duanhe to take the initiative to attack the Zhao army, if it wins, it is the best, if it can't win, it can also completely trap the Zhao army here, so that they can't get out and retreat. Then I will take this opportunity to lead a single force, bypass the main force of the Zhao army, go all the way to the north, and then turn to the east, cross the Taihang Mountain, go straight to the rear of the Zhao State, first hit Chili and then Yi'an, and then Handan City will be close at hand! ”

His fingers kept pointing and drawing on the map, and an extremely risky but very effective plan jumped in front of Li Ling's eyes.

"In this case, I'm afraid that the troops on hand are insufficient, and you must know that if you are so alone, you will definitely not be able to supply food and grass in time, and once Zhao Jun discovers your intentions, I am afraid that you will not last long, let alone Handan, if Zhao Jun finds out early, you may not even be able to reach Chili."

The plan was good, but it was too risky, and Li Ling didn't dare to rashly let Huan Qi send troops.

"I've already thought about this, anyway, now that South Korea has settled down, I want to use Meng Tian's 54th Army and let him supplement Yang Duanhe's hands, and then I will extract the cavalry of all the front-line troops and move forward as quickly as possible to seize the opportunity."

"All cavalry?"

"Yes, all cavalry battles are used, as for the heavy grain and grass, the boss doesn't have to worry, I can completely use the war to nourish the war, and kill the hinterland of the Zhao Kingdom, why worry about the lack of food and grass?"

Huan Qi is full of confidence!

"This matter is very important, I'll go and meet the king first, you go and call Wang Jian immediately, by the way, and Xiong Qi, I'm about to forget about this guy." After you call the two of them, enter the palace immediately! ”

"Okay, I'll go right away!"

Huan Qi was extremely excited, it was obvious that Li Ling had already approved his plan, and now it was a matter of discussing the details carefully.
