Zhao Yong's ten years, in the capital of Handan, Zhao Yong's ministers, and Feiyi Lechi Zhao Xing's doctors discussed for five days and nights, and finally came up with a perfect plan, Zhao Yong proudly announced in the hall: "Zhao Guo, forbearance for ten years, hard work and development, now we have enough strength to destroy Zhongshan, a big trouble inserted in my Zhao country, now, the widow announced, the battle to destroy Zhongshan begins." ”

Then he said to Zhao Xing confidently: "Tang Hou, take the money." ”

Zhao Xing, who borrowed money from Zhao Yong, replied without hesitation this time: "Fifty thousand iron horses, all the expenses, I will transfer them immediately." ”

"150,000 conscripted soldiers, supplies and grass after three months—"

Zhao Xing gritted his teeth: "I'll take half of it." ”

Zhao Yong was satisfied, and the ministers were all excited, and they were ready to make contributions to the country one by one.

Zhao Yong officially announced: "In the Battle of Zhongshan, we will divide our troops into two routes, and the widow will personally lead the South Route Army, 50,000 cavalry, and 100,000 chariots. The chariots were used to attack the fortifications, and the cavalry chased the north, with Zhao Yuan leading the right army, Xu Jun leading the left army, and Zhao Zhang leading the Chinese army, attacking the hinterland of Zhongshan State. On the north road, 50,000 cavalry of Zhao Xing, the commander of the Daijun Xingjun, and the specific arrangements were presided over by Xingjun. On the first day of the sixth month of summer, the ancestors and ancestors were sacrificed, and the troops were sent to the sky. ”

Originally, the Battle of Zhongshan was supposed to be ten years later, but because of Zhao Xing's reform and Hufu cavalry shooting, Zhao State was launched in advance because of the increase in national strength.

The entire Zhao Kingdom moved again, and Wang Yuxingshi's singing voice resounded all over the Zhao Kingdom again.

Because Zhao implemented the law of emancipating slaves, now, Zhao can recruit a sufficient supply of national soldiers, and there is a system of rewarding military merits, which makes hundreds of people enthusiastically respond to the king's call. They hope that in this rare battle to destroy the country, they will change from the original slaves to commoners, and this time they will kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, become soldiers, and then become nobles.

Dai Jun, Zhao Xing made a huge personnel adjustment in order to destroy Zhongshan. Zhao Hao was transferred back, and Wei Yong was assigned to replace the town guarding the four passes, and he was the commander-in-chief of the whole army, supervising the Chinese army, and Xu Jie was joining the army. The left and right armies, the left army with Zhao Hao as the commander, and the right army with Le Yi as the commander.

The old general Yin Qi is old, and he can no longer go into battle, replacing Zhao Xingdu in charge of the county. With the six histories as subordinates, coordinate logistics and other military affairs.

In the lobby, Zhao Xing said cautiously: "Zhongshan, there are 250,000 soldiers, 9,000 chariots, it is the eighth male after the seven heroes, the four ancestors fought with them for nearly a hundred years, all in vain, this time it is up to us, we must fight to solve this trouble, and then prepare for our unification of the world in the future." ”

Looking at the excited old soldiers and courtiers with red faces, Zhao Xing taught again: "Although this time I and the monarch have joined forces with 200,000 troops, advancing from north to south, we must not underestimate the enemy, we must use troops carefully, fight steadily and steadily, and achieve success in the first battle." ”

The reason why Zhao Xing tirelessly chattered like this was because, to be honest, Zhao Xing had no bottom about the destruction of Zhongshan in World War I. Because he remembers history, Zhao destroyed Zhongshan, and King Wuling of Zhao took a total of twelve years and five expeditions before he succeeded. And for the first time, there was Yan Guo to help attack. 110 eBooks

As a result, Zhongshan first defeated King Wuling of Zhao and then defeated the Kingdom of Yan, which shows how strong Zhongshan is.

This time, without Yan Guo replacing himself, can he change the overall situation? Zhao Xing quietly waved his fist a few times: "I am a traverser, I can do it." ”

After several encouragements, Zhao Xing took a full set of ancient military etiquette on the first day of the sixth month of the agreed date, and then led an army of 50,000 to the old enemy Zhongshan.

After the victory of the war to expand the territory of Yan, Zhongshan entered an unprecedented period of prosperity in history, and its national strength can be described as thriving.

When Daijun was developing hotly, Zhongshan Wangcuo was eyeing the fat of Daijun, if he could take down this Daijun who was isolated in the north by himself, not only eliminated the disadvantage of being attacked by Zhao Nanbei, but also won the rich Daijun strong Zhongshan.

Of course, he also knew that Zhao Xing of Daijun was also eyeing him, anyway, both sides wanted to destroy each other in terms of strategy and actual needs, and it can be said that heroes see the same thing.

However, Lou was annoyed with several harassments, which made him unguardable, and the most important thing was that when Gongsun Yan was the prime minister of the Five Kingdoms, Cuo was young and vigorous, and he also wanted to mix it up. As a result, if Qi wants to restore the dream of hegemony, it is unwilling to see an alliance between the five countries. At the same time, the State of Qi has always supported Zhongshan, with the aim of using him to contain the State of Zhao, if Zhongshan is also recognized as the king by the Five Kingdoms, won't it be out of control? As a result, the State of Qi issued the most solemn warning to Zhongshan: "If you become king, I will join Han Wei to beat you." ”

As a result, Cuo sent his own shopkeeper Zhang Deng to lobby the Minister of Qi to help Tian Ying, so that a big war was avoided. But the young and vigorous Cuo finally became the king, although the monarch of Qi ignored him under the persuasion of Tian Ying, but also cut off his support for Zhongshan. And Yan Guo, who was originally out of the same heart to contain Zhao Guo, was robbed of thirty cities by Zhongshan in this civil strife, and he had a great hatred for Zhongshan. Now, Zhongshan is isolated and can only face the north-south attack of Zhao alone.

But because Zhongshan is a Bairong person, his army of 250,000 is both chariots and their nomadic traditional cavalry. In a strict sense, Zhongshan's soldiers were the earliest cavalry, and why King Wuling of Zhao specialized in the name of military reform of Hufu cavalry shooting was because the princes of the Central Plains did not regard Zhongshan as Chinese at all, so his cavalry did not count.

In the face of the vigorous battle of Zhao to destroy the country, Zhongshan Wang Cuo was not surprised, and immediately decided with Zhang Deng, a minister who helped Sima Xuan, to mobilize the strength of the whole country, and Sima Ling, the minister of the country, led a team of 200,000 chariots and cavalry to personally meet Zhao Yong, and the general Sima Lishuai had an army of 50,000 to meet Zhao Xing. The strategy of the King of Zhongshan is to block the north and fight in the south, and each one is broken.

This arrangement is because the south of Zhongshan is a plain or hilly area, which is not only suitable for the battle of a large corps of chariots, but also the offensive direction of Zhao Yong, the main force of Zhao State. Zhao Yong's 150,000 troops entered Zhongshan, which is a force to destroy the country, and they must be kept out of the country.

And the north is the Taihang Mountains, easy to defend and difficult to attack, as long as you hold a few passes, you will block the enemy outside Zhongshan, and according to the worst plan of the King of Zhongshan, Zhao Xing is only 50,000 horses, even if he rushes through the Taihang Mountain, for Zhongshan, he can also rely on the cities along the way to gradually resist, and there is no great harm to the Zhongshan army. The two are the lesser of the two, and it is prudent to deal with the big threat first.

The strategy is certain, immediately recruit the soldiers of the whole country, rectify the chariot and horses, after some action, Zhongshan Wangcuo sacrificed to the ancestors and ancestors, and after walking a complete set of rituals for the expedition, the army marched south violently, blocking Zhao Yong's three-way army.

This will be a hard-fought battle to destroy the country, and its tragedy can be expected.
