On April 3, the Liaodi army of 100,000 set out from Quyang City (now Quyang County, Hebei), the southernmost part of Zhongyang County.

On April 5, he arrived at Lingshou City (now Lingshou County, Hebei) in Zhao State.

On 6 April, an army of 100,000 men crossed the Hutuo River at the southern end of Lingshou City in one day and one night, and arrived at Fanwu (in present-day Pingshan County, Hebei) on 7 April.

On April 9, the Liaodi army marched to Jingcheng (Hebei Jingcheng) and began to cross the Taihang Mountains along Jingcheng Pass.

Just as the Liao army was marching towards the Shangdang, Yingji, the king of Qin, who was far away in Xianyang, once again received the news that the Qin army was repelled by the Zhao army for thirty miles under the city of Handan.

Yingji, who is in her sixties, is angry!

was so angry that he walked around in the side hall of Afang Palace. In front of Fan Ju, he scolded Wang Di, the commander of the Qin army.

"Xiangguo, tell me, what's going on with this Wang Di? The widow gave him a year's time, and let him lead my elite Qin army of more than 500,000 to capture Handan, which was guarded by the old, weak, sick and disabled of Zhao State. ”

"This is good, my Qin army is under Handan City, and it has been three years. Not only did it not break through Handan City, but it suffered repeated setbacks. Xiangguo, tell the widow, why is this? ”

Qin Xiang Fan Ju, remembering the letter from his confidant Zheng Anping to him, also hated the Qin army commander Wang Di.

For Wang Yi to dare to treat Zheng Anping like this, Fan Ju analyzed and analyzed, and believed that the root still came from Wu Anjun Baiqi.

decided to give Wu Anjun a white rise and put some "eye drops" on it.

Fan Ju stepped forward and bowed to King Qin and said, "Your Majesty, the commander of my Qin army, whether it is the current Wang Di, or the previous Wang Ling, and even most of the generals in the front of my Qin army, are all from the account of Wu Anjun. ”

"Your Majesty, I can't hide it, the fifth doctor, Zheng Anping, led an army of 50,000 to Handan, and he wanted to serve my king. However, he was deprived of military power by the commander Wang Ji and sent to guard the south of Handan City. ”

"As my king said, the Zhao army guarding Handan City is the old, weak, sick and disabled. According to the strength of our army, we should have captured its city and destroyed its Zhao State long ago to relieve our king's worries. ”

"But why can't I capture my army of hundreds of thousands after three years? In the opinion of Weichen, the generals of our Qin army are looking forward to Wu Anjun going to Handan. Therefore, Weichen suggested that my king, can Wu Anjun be the commander again? Go to Handan. ”

After listening to Xiangguo Fan Ju's words, Qin Wang Yingji stopped his wandering in the hall.

After pondering for a while, he shook his head and slowly said to Fan Ju:

"Xiangguo, Wu Anjun's selfish desires are too much! The army of my Qin State is an army of widows, not Wu Anjun's private army! Wu Anjun is white, and he is no longer a widowed courtier! ”

"Well, for the sake of Wu Anjun's many years of service to the country, the widow will give him one last chance. Just listen to Xiangguo's words, let him be the commander-in-chief, and go to Handan! ”

After Fan Ju heard Yingji's words, he was also stunned.

He knew that Qin Wang Yingji went to ask Wu Anjun to go on the expedition twice, but Wu Anjun refused on the grounds that he was unwell, and he would definitely have an opinion about Wu Anjun in his heart.

But I didn't expect that Qin Wang Yingji would not just have an opinion on Wu Anjun now. It's the prejudice in my heart that is very deep.

Fan Ju sighed in his heart:

"Wu Anjun is white, if you go out on the expedition this time, it's fine; If you don't obey the edict again, you will kill yourself! ”

King Yingji of Qin turned around and said to the attendant beside him: "Come on, announce the edict!" Ordered Wu Anjun to be the commander of the front of our Qin army, replace Wang Di, and then go to Handan. ”

The attendant hurriedly bowed down and said, "Obey the edict." ”

Not an hour later, in the hall, Yingji and Fan Ju, who were waiting for Wu Anjun's news, saw the attendant who had just announced the edict coming in, sweating profusely.

As soon as this attendant entered the palace gate, he knelt on the ground and said to King Qin:

"Your Majesty, Wu Anjun said: The sick body has not healed and cannot go on the expedition, please ask my king to withdraw the edict."

King Qin Yingji is so angry!

You Wu Anjun...... Wu Anjun, Niu De...... It's not a little cow!

Patting the table in front of him, he said to the waiter:

"You go to Wu'an Junfu again to announce the edict! Xuanwu Anjun was guilty, demoted to a soldier, and moved to Yinmi (now west of Lingtai County, Gansu). ”

The attendant hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Obey the edict." ”

After waiting for this edict attendant, he went to Wu'an Jun's Mansion again to announce the edict.

Yingji is really angry.

In front of Fan Ju, he scolded Bai Qi: "Xiangguo, this Wu Anjun relies on his merits, and now he doesn't take the widow in his eyes!" What a damn one! Damn! ”

Fan Ju stepped forward and pretended to persuade King Qin: "Your Majesty, don't be too angry! Now that Wu Anjun is in vain, he is unwilling to contribute to my Qin State. My king has already punished him, so there is no need to be angry. ”

Yingji nodded and said to Fan Ju: "Xiangguo, now Handan City, our army can't attack it for a long time, what can we do?" ”

Fan Ju lowered his head and thought about it for a while, knowing that it was no longer advisable to forcibly attack Handan now.

After pondering for a moment, he raised his head and said to Yingji:

"Your Majesty, now that our Qin army has attacked Handan, it has been three years, and the soldiers are tired and the people are lacking. However, our army has now occupied Taiyuan County, Shangdang County, Wu'an City, Pigaoguan and other large areas of Zhao State, which can also be described as remarkable achievements. ”

"Now the countries of the Central Plains, seeing that our Qin army can't break through Handan City in three years, they are all ready to move. Weichen knew that the state of Chu had sent Chun Shenjun to lead an army of 100,000 to rescue the state of Zhao. The 100,000 troops of the Wei State stationed in Yecheng were also eyeing our Qin army. ”

"In the opinion of Wei Chen, it is better for my Qin army to withdraw to the west of Wu'an City, rest for a year, and stabilize the territory occupied by our Qin army. In the future, he will attack Zhao again. This is the advice of the ministers, and I ask the king to adopt it. ”

After listening to Fan Ju's words, Yingji sighed and said to Fan Ju:

"Xiangguo, the widow is unwilling! A few days ago, the son of Prince An Guojun, the son of Handan, Zhao State, who was hostage, actually fled back to Xianyang with the help of a businessman in Zhao State. ”

"According to the stranger, now Zhao Min in Handan City has changed his son and eaten, using bones as cooking, and has reached the Jedi where the mountains and rivers are exhausted! As long as our Qin army makes a little more effort, we can break through Handan City. ”

"But Wang Yi is incompetent, what can he do? What Xiang Guo said just now is an old saying. In the opinion of Xiangguo, I ordered my Qin army to withdraw to the west of Wu'an City, rest and wait! ”

Subsequently, Qin Wang Yingji issued an edict, ordering the commander of the Qin army, Wang Ji, to lead the army to return to the west of Wu'an City and rest in Fencheng (now Xiangfen County, Shanxi).

What Qin Wang Yingji and Qin Xiang Fan Sui didn't expect was that the hundreds of thousands of troops in the front of Handan this time could no longer be withdrawn.

At the same time as the two were talking, the 100,000 troops of Liaodi had launched an attack on the 20,000 Qin troops of the Shang Party.

The allied forces of Zhao, Wei, and Chu also launched a fierce battle with the main force of the Qin army led by Wang Yi under the city of Handan.
