In mid-March, Wang Qian, a general of the Qin army stationed in Yewangcheng, received a secret order from Qin Wang Yingji in Xianyang, telling him to quickly reorganize his army and occupy Jingguan, a fortress in the southern part of the Shangdang region.

Then cooperate with the main army of Qin led by Wang Yi to attack Shangdang from the south. The ultimate goal is to complete the encirclement of the Zhao army in the Shangdang area, so as to form the main force of Qin and Zhao in the Shangdang decisive battle.

Although Wang Jian is very young now, he is not one of the best generals of this era.

After reading the secret letter, he already knew the importance of this battle to the Qin State. Knowing that this was the king of Qin, Yingji, he wanted to complete the battle and completely defeat the main force of the Zhao army in the Shangdang area, so that it could not stop the eastward advance of the Qin State in the future.

Wang Jian did not dare to slack off, and quickly gathered the 100,000 troops in Yewang City, and when the main force of the Qin army had not yet set off from Xianyang, he personally led 10,000 elites to detour to the north of Jingguan and suddenly launched a surprise attack on Jingguan.

Because before, the king of Zhao gave a strict order to the generals of the Zhao army, that is, during the peace negotiation between Zhao and Qin, the Zhao army was not allowed to send troops to attack the Qin army at will, causing disputes, otherwise it would be severely punished.

Therefore, the generals of the Zhao army guarding Jingguan did not expect that when the two countries of Qin and Zhao negotiated peace, the Qin army would come to attack at this time. Suddenly, the Qin army led by Wang Jian occupied Jingguan, and the Zhao army was killed in battle.

At the same time, Meng Wei, the general of the Qin army stationed at Wuling Pass, personally led an army of 100,000 people, and the whole army pressed the Duanshi City in front of Kongcangling to respond to Wang Qian's actions.

After receiving the news of the loss of Jingguan and the arrival of the Qin army in Duanshi City, Lian Po, the commander of the Zhao army stationed in Guangwolf City, was taken aback. Hurriedly summoned Shangdang County Shou and Huayang Jun Feng Ting to discuss the matter.

Feng Ting, who heard the news, was also taken aback, frowned, and said to Lian Po: "Old general, it seems that this time Qin State invited me Zhao State to talk about peace, it is Qin Xiang Fan Sui's poisonous plan!" Like South Korea, our Zhao State has also fallen for Qin Xiang Fan Sui's tricks. ”

Lian Po, a veteran of Zhao State, sighed after listening to Feng Ting's words: "Huayangjun, now that the Qin army has taken it, I will go to the southern fortress of the party." But now my Zhao army has not received the king's order, and I can't send troops, so what can I do? ”

When Feng Ting heard this, he hurriedly said to Lian Po: "Old general, if there is no accident. From the Qin army's raid on Jingguan, it can be seen that the Qin State had premeditated it earlier! I'm sure that now the army of the Qin State has set out from Xianyang and is coming to my Zhao State to the party. ”

"Old general, please report this situation to King Zhao and the court as soon as possible, and ask King Zhao to send troops to reinforce Shangdang as soon as possible, and our army should send troops as soon as possible to seize Jingguan. Otherwise, as soon as the main force of the Qin army arrives, my party Zhao army will face the pincer attack of the Qin army! ”

Lian Po shook his head helplessly, and said to Feng Ting: "Huayangjun, Qin Jun This is a complete set of plans!" At the same time that the Qin army occupied Jingguan, and the Qin army stationed at Wuling Pass arrived at Duanshi City again, intending to attack the Kongcangling defense line. Now my Zhao army is short of troops, and there is nothing to be done! ”

Then he turned around, pointed to the map on the wall, pointed to the area around the Jiebeiling at the southern end of the Shangdang area, and said to Feng Ting: "Now it seems that this can only be the case." Huayangjun, after you go down, immediately organize the military and civilians to build the first-line fortifications at the southern end of the boundary tablet ridge. ”

"Now that the Jingguan has been lost, the old man estimates that the Qin army will soon attack our party from the Jingguan in the south, and we must build fortifications in the area of the southern boundary stele ridge as soon as possible in order to block the Qin army, and there can be no delay in this matter."

Then he said in a heavy tone: "This battle is related to the fate of my entire Shangdang and even Zhao Guo, and it cannot be ignored!" ”

Feng Ting also knew that the matter was urgent, so he didn't dare to slack off, and replied, "No." ”

It can't be said that last year, Qin Xiang Fan Sui's proposal and strategy were very successful. But for Zhao Guolai, it is very vicious.

At the end of last year, Ji Kang's uncle Zhao Wangdan sent his eldest husband Zheng Zhu to Xianyang to negotiate peace. Qin Xiang Fan Sui was a Trinity banquet and a May Day banquet, and Zheng Zhu was entertained meticulously. It's a bit of a, but I just don't talk to Zheng Zhu about the peace provisions of the two countries.

Zheng Zhu didn't know that this was Fan Sui's plan! He was also complacent about Fan Sui's thoughtful hospitality to himself. After the New Year, in the report to King Zhao, the atmosphere was still good, and the matter of peace was being negotiated with Fan Sui amicably with Zheng

King Zhao didn't know that he had been tricked, and when he saw Zheng Zhu's return, he also summoned Yu Qing, who opposed the peace, and said: "Yu Qing, aren't you Qin and me Zhao Guo discussing peace is a strategy?" But now that the Qin State has accepted Zheng Zhu and is negotiating peace with Zheng Zhu, it seems that your prediction is wrong. ”

When Yu Qing heard this, he became anxious, and said to Zhao Wangdan: "Great King, what Qin Xiang Fan Sui did like this proves that Qin Guo is wrong with my Zhao State. King, you can quickly send Xianyang of Ran Qin State to urge Zheng Zhuxun to discuss the matter of peace immediately. ”

"The old minister dares to assure the king that the Qin State will definitely not sign a peace agreement with my Zhao State. On the contrary, this year, I will continue to send troops to attack the Shangdang area, my king, my Zhao country must not be guarded against! ”

Zhao Wangdan didn't care, and said to Yu Qing: "Yu Qing, negotiating peace is a major matter of the country, how can it be child's play, Qin Wangduan will not do such a despicable thing." In this case, will not the nations be ridiculed? You're overthinking. ”

Yu Qing was helpless, so she could only shake her head and sigh, she had no choice about her own king's true thoughts.

Ji Kang's uncle Zhao Dan, although he didn't believe in Yu Qing's law. However, he still sent people to Xianyang, the capital of Qin, to urge his eldest husband, Zheng Zhu, to negotiate a peace agreement as soon as possible.

After Zheng Zhu received King Zhao's urging letter, it was already mid-February. At Zheng Zhu's strong request, Fan Sui said that Qin was not prepared and asked Zheng Zhu to come up with peace terms. Zheng Zhu had no choice but to formulate the terms of Zhao State's peace and give it to Qin Xiang Fan Sui.

Fan Sui took the peace terms formulated by Zheng Zhu, and argued with Zheng Zhu on the terms, tossing Zheng Zhu to death, not knowing what to do.

By the end of March, the main forces of the Qin army were ready to leave for Shangdang. Qin Xiang Fan Sui no longer concealed Qin Guo's intentions, and even Zheng Zhumian was gone.

Zheng Zhu himself already felt bad at this time, but there was still luck in his heart.

Until this time, one of his entourages came back from outside and said to Zheng Zhu anxiously: "My lord, something is wrong. got the latest news, Qin sent Wang Yi as the commander-in-chief, and yesterday he had led an army of 200,000 to go to my Zhao State to join the party! My lord, we've been tricked! I've been tricked! ”

When Zheng Zhu heard this, his face was as pale as earth. I still can't believe that this is true, so I grabbed the placket of this entourage and shouted: "Hu, Qin Xiang Fan Sui will return it to me, and the two will study the terms of peace together!" How could the Qin State send a large army at this time? ”

This entourage cried urgently, and said to Zheng Zhu: "My lord, now the people in the entire Xianyang City know about the Qin State's troops, and we are kept in the dark!" If you don't believe it, you go to the street and ask, the Qin State sent troops to the party, this is already a well-known thing! ”

Zheng Zhu collapsed on the Lin for a while, and only after a while did he recover his strength, and muttered in his mouth: "How is this possible?" How is this possible? Fan Sui, as a prime minister, how can he be like this? How so? ”

This entourage was really anxious, and shouted at Zheng Zhu: "My lord, now is not the time to complain, we will quickly send someone back to Handan and report to the king!" I hope that I, Zhao Guo, will still have time to prepare, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable! ”

Zheng Zhu reacted at this time, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, hurry up and report to the king, hurry up and report to the king!" ”
