Chapter 295: The Failure of Lian Po and Li Mu

"The army of the Qin State came here to save the lives of the people, Zhao Dan is a faint king, he is unmistakable, arrogant, murdering Ma Fujun, confused and lazy, freezing the people of Zhao State, mutilating the people, arrogant and fierce, self-righteous, giving up the legal system of the holy king, slandering the previous king, rejecting the law, unable to obey the will of heaven, unable to love the people, not stopping the collection, exceeding, indiscriminately killing innocents, and rewarding inappropriately !!"

"A person like this is the object of heaven's destruction, the common enemy of the Zhao and Qin people, and he is not worthy of being the king! We came here with the belief of Ma Fujun to kill villains like Zhao Dan and get rid of the enemies of Zhao people... The Qin people are a benevolent and righteous army, they will never kill innocents indiscriminately, they will not burn down people's houses, we will reduce your taxes, we will protect you..."

This is the inscription issued by the Qin State, through those spies in the Zhao State, these inscriptions soon spread throughout many cities in the northwest of the Zhao State, and the Qin people secretly pasted these inscriptions on the walls and distributed them to the people of the Zhao State in the form of leaflets. The officials of the Zhao State hurriedly sent people to tear up these inscriptions and search the city, but anyone who had hidden leaflets and disseminated relevant content was to be put to death.

And Meng Fu led the army of Qin, after capturing the cities of Zhao, also according to the new policy, neither killed the people, nor destroyed the local dwellings and arable land, he opened warehouses to release grain, distributed the grain accumulated by the Zhao people in these cities to the people, and under the banner of Ma Fujun, promised to reduce their taxes and distribute land to the people who did not have arable land, and the officials of Qin hurriedly began to start propaganda work in the occupied areas.

They want to let the Zhao people know that they are here to save the Zhao people and let them live a better life.

After informing the captives of Qin's policies, Meng released the captives. The changes in the Qin State surprised the Zhao people very much, the army of the Qin State was still as old-fashioned as ever, serious, and unsmiling, but they did not kill people anymore... Not only did not plunder their grain, but even sent them grain ... So is such a policy bearing fruit? Of course, there were, and after Meng Fu opened a warehouse along the road to release grain and pacify the people, he never encountered any resistance.

In less than two months, Meng Wei successively captured 40 cities such as Jinyang, Taiyuan, Yuci, Xincheng, and Langmeng, and quickly deployed a defensive line in Yangyi, successfully blocking the Lianpo army that came to the rescue.

Lian Po didn't expect that the Qin people's advance speed was so fast, and when he came to the rescue, the northwest of Zhao had completely fallen, and Lian Po had to attack Yangyi, and the battlefield suddenly became a tough battle, in Zhao's own territory, Qin became the dominant defender, and siege warfare has never been easy, because the siege side needs to have far more manpower, food, and siege equipment than the defender, so that it is possible to take these cities.

Meng Fu probably understands this, he is indeed very good at siege warfare, in terms of marching speed, no one in the Qin State can compare with him, when Wu Anjun was still there, he often arranged for Meng Fu to carry out surprise attacks, or involve the enemy. Meng Fu is not very good at large-scale legion combat, but he has a unique talent in siege and raiding, especially when there is no popular resistance, his surprise ability is exerted to the extreme.

The army commanded by Lian Po did not have so much as Lian Po, and whether it was food or siege equipment, Zhao was not as good as Qin, and in terms of morale, it was even more so, the soldiers of Zhao naturally saw the article, which made the already low morale of the Zhao army suffer another blow.... Lian Po looked at the tall Yangyi in front of him, but he had a headache, he didn't have enough manpower to attack the city.

Lian Po couldn't ignore this city, he knew that if he bypassed the city to attack Jinyang and other places, the garrison here would definitely cut off his own road and surround himself in the mountains around Jinyang, then he would be in danger. Just when Lian Po was thinking about the enemy's strategy, King Zhao couldn't help it, and he gave Lian Po orders several times, asking Lian Po to quickly recapture these taken cities!

Lian Po did not move in Yangyi, and someone told King Zhao: Lian Po has different intentions and wants to rebel.

Although King Zhao didn't believe in such nonsense, he was also very anxious, and he needed a big victory to encourage the army and people of Zhao.

After receiving several orders from King Zhao, Lian Po also seemed to be a little angry. He looked at the envoy sent by King Zhao in front of him, and said angrily: "I am here to fight for the king, who is sitting in the palace of Handan, and does not know the situation ahead, so he repeatedly urges me to attack the city!" I have made so many contributions to Zhao Guoguo, and finally got the position of a feudal monarch, and the villain Zheng Anping, who lost to me, can be a feudal monarch like me, I feel ashamed because of this incident!! ”

The messenger was shocked and looked at Lian Po in front of him.

Lian Po waved his hand and ordered the soldiers to arrest the messenger and put him in prison.

Later, he sent one of his disciples to the city with a letter to meet Meng Fu.

Meng Fu smiled, looked at the warriors of Zhao who were escorted by the soldiers, and asked with a smile: "General Lian Po wants to surrender?" ”

The warrior nodded and said seriously: "Xin Pingjun has not been reused in Zhao State, King Zhao previously plotted to kill Ma Fujun, and now he listens to the villain's slander and wants to seek Xin Pingjun, Xin Pingjun is very angry, he decided to serve Qin State, however, he wants you to guarantee that you cannot harm the people of Zhao State, and he must continue to serve as a feudal monarch in Qin State, and also serve as a general..."

The samurai talked about Lian Po's conditions one by one.

Meng Wei listened carefully, and suddenly, he sneered, stood up, and said to the warrior: "Lian Po, he is just an old man with no talent in Zhao State, is it because of his background, can he become a feudal king?" Such a stupid thing, Wu Anjun can capture him with two thousand elites, what conditions does he put forward now? You go back and tell him! Lian Po should have taken off his clothes, carried the wattle tree on his back, and knelt in front of the city and kowtowed to me! I will accept his surrender! ”

"If he doesn't, I'll destroy his clan!"

"General! Father! The generals sitting around Meng Fu shouted, their eyes widened, they didn't know why Meng Fu said this, and the warrior sent by Lian Po, he was also angry because of such an insult, and scolded Meng Fu, but was driven out directly by Meng Fu, Meng Wu hurriedly walked to his father's side, and said helplessly: "Father! I heard that Lian Po killed the envoy sent by King Zhao. ”

"After this doorman came, he also said the conditions first, and it can be known that Lian Po really wants to surrender."

"Lian Po is a famous general of Zhao State, if he can come to Qin State, this is something that is beneficial to Qin State, why do you want to do this?! Why! Are you worried that he will come to Zhao and take your place?! I'm going to write a letter to the King! I'm going to accuse you of your actions! The more Meng Wu thinks about it, the more angry he becomes, Lian Po has always been a big problem for Qin State, this old man is very capable of fighting, even Wu Anjun doesn't dare to be careless in the face of him.

Wu Anjun praised Lian Po many times, thinking that if he was in command of Qin's army and he was in charge of Zhao's army, then he would definitely not be his opponent.

is such a great talent, and now he wants to return to the Qin State, but he was so insulted by his father??

Looking at Meng Wu who was thundering in front of him, Meng Wei also sneered, he looked at his son, and said angrily: "I also want to write to the king, I hope you will never serve as the general of the Qin State!" Otherwise, the Qin State will definitely suffer a great defeat because of you! ”

"What kind of person is Lian Po? Even if he is dissatisfied with the king, he will probably leave the Zhao Kingdom, and it is absolutely impossible to do something to surrender the enemy! You idiot! ”

After being reprimanded by his father, Meng Wu gradually calmed down a little, and he asked cautiously, "Then why did your father insult him?" ”

"He's fierce by nature, and he's insulted like this...", muttered.

When the samurai returned to Lian Po's side and told Lian Po the truth about Meng Fu's words, Lian Po was not angry, he laughed, shook his head, and said helplessly: "It seems that I underestimated Meng Po... Okay, you go back, you can't tell anyone about these things. The samurai nodded and left the tent.

On the next day, everyone saw the irascible Lian Po, the general seemed to be very angry, he immediately ordered people to cut down trees and began to make siege equipment, and the Qin people on the city wall naturally also saw the busy Zhao people, they were trying their best to build siege equipment, it seemed that they were about to start the siege, which made Meng Wu very happy, he felt that his father's plan was successful, and Lian Po was really angered.

It's just that Meng Fu realized something, and ordered the general Wang Jian to leave Yangyi with an army and deploy it in a dangerous position to Jinyang and other important places, ready to guard against the enemy. And Wang Jian just walked out of the city, about to reach the destination, when he encountered an ambush by Lian Po, Lian Po surrounded Wang Qian's army, began to storm, Wang Jian on the one hand to the city defenders for help, on the other hand, is in the best efforts to resist the enemy's attack.

Meng Fu left Meng Wu to defend Yangyi, and he took his army with him... Quickly advancing towards Wang Qian's department, and halfway through, Meng Biao quickly returned with the army, hiding in the mountains on the left side of Yangyi, after Meng Biao left Yangyi with the army, sure enough, Wang Qian's pressure was suddenly reduced, and the real main army of the Zhao people appeared outside the city of Yangyi, and began to attack, Meng Biao suddenly led the army to kill from the left, and the two sides fought.

Lian Po's army is less than Mengfu, after many divisions of troops, the gap in strength is even more obvious, in terms of combat effectiveness, Qin is also a steady victory, the two sides of the war, Lian Po suddenly fell into a disadvantage, Lian Po full command, call the army left and right assault, he rode in a chariot, constantly advancing towards the Qin people, with his own bravery and command, he actually forced the Qin people who were stronger than himself to retreat again and again.

Lian Po's use of chariots has reached a point of supernatural proportions, he divided the chariot troops into three strands, and after opening the gap on the left side, he directly cut the Qin army's army diagonally into three parts along the edge, and the foot soldiers quickly followed, surrounding the Qin people's front army and the Chinese army.... Meng Wu on the city wall was stunned, and he watched Lian Po surround his father's 50,000 army with 30,000 troops... He was about to send out the army, when he suddenly saw his father raise the banner and let him continue to hold on!

In the earth-shattering sound of war drums, General Lian Po roared angrily, the spear in his hand continued to kill one enemy after another, and he continued to play the banner, ordering the chariot army to continue to cut the Qin army diagonally along the right side, striving to divide the Qin people into smaller troops and annihilate them all! The battle situation was very unfavorable to Meng Fu, and Meng Fu was also a little anxious, Qin had more chariot troops than the other party, but there was no way to keep up with Lian Po's operation.

At this time, behind Lian Po, an army of the Qin State appeared, and Wang Qian, who was expressionless, wiped the blood on his face, and raised the spear in his hand against Lian Po's rear.

In the second year of King Qin, Zhao and Qin fought against Yangyi.

Qin won a complete victory, killing more than 10,000 people and taking 20,000 prisoners.

And Lian Po, the general of Zhao State, took the rest of the soldiers and horses and retreated to Maling.

Qin Guo took a defensive posture and captured the surrounding cities in one go. King Zhao was furious and immediately ordered Li Mu in the clouds to bring elite soldiers to support the battlefield, and Qin also sent Wang Yi, Hu Yang, Sima Terrier, Qiang and others with more troops to support, and Qin's troops in the Jinyang area reached 150,000, while Zhao Lian Po, Li Mu, and Sima Shang's army was only more than 60,000 people.

Meng Fu led his army to meet the army of Li Mu and Sima Shang in Xincheng.

The army brought by Li Mu is indeed elite, but in terms of strength, it is too different from Meng Fu... On the battlefield, Li Mu used the method of concentrating the elite and directly attacking the Chinese army, but Meng Mu used a huge chariot force to directly interrupt Li Mu's attack, and the left and right flanks were pressed, and they were about to swallow all of Li Mu's troops.

It's a pity that the speed of Meng's advance is too amazing, and he directly attacked the vicinity of Yanmen County, and captured a lot of cities.

The state of Zhao was not ready for a full-scale war, it was still an old problem, and there was a shortage of food.

Zhao did not have enough food to support a full-scale war with Qin, Zhao had no way to recruit a large number of troops, and even, even the food consumed to maintain the current army has become a big problem, since the Battle of Changping, Zhao has had a food shortage, although there was some easing in the following years, but Zhao has never stopped the war, and years of war and civil strife have not allowed Zhao to completely alleviate it.

In the end, Zhao passively began to defend, and Qin also stopped continuing to attack, Qin won the war, the general Meng Wei captured more than 50 cities of Zhao, and defeated Lian Po, Li Mu and others, famous all over the world.

When the news reached Xianyang, King Qin clapped his hands excitedly.

But Zhao Kuo was at a loss, Meng Biao defeated Lian Po and Li Mu??

How is this possible???
