In early May, the 200,000 troops urgently convened by Zhao State, under the leadership of the deputy general Zhao Jia, came to Shangdang from Handan, the capital of Zhao State. At this time, the battle situation of the party, Zhao Guo also reached the most dangerous moment, and the form was extremely unfavorable to Zhao Jun.

At the end of last year, Qin Xiang Fan Sui's plan to negotiate peace was very harmful to Zhao State. Except for the reinforcements promised by Wei and Chu who did not attack the Qin army, even the Zhao army stationed in Shangdang was caught off guard. Tianjingguan in the south of Shangdang and Duanshi City in the west were both attacked and occupied by the Qin army.

Before the arrival of Zhao's reinforcements, the Kongcangling defense line in the west of Shangdang, which had been held by the Zhao army for two years, had been broken through by the main army of Qin led by Wang Di. Especially the Gaoping Pass at the middle end of the Kongcangling defense line, after it was taken and occupied by the main force of the Qin army led by Wang Yi, the Kongcangling defense line was equivalent to collapse for the Zhao army at this moment.

After that, Wang Di did not stop the pace of the Qin army's attack, but led the main force of the Qin army to continue to launch a fierce attack on the Zhao army to the east, in an attempt to completely take the light wolf city and defeat the Zhao army led by Lian Po before the arrival of Zhao reinforcements.

As the Qin army advanced eastward, it captured Gaoping Pass to Guangwolf City, and the east and west two barrier cities built by the Zhao army, and the soldiers came to Guangwolf City. The Zhao army can be said to be west of the Danshui River, and has fallen into a bitter battle.

The commander of the Zhao army, Lian Po, was forced to be helpless, and led the Zhao army to retreat to the Danshui River defense line, waiting for the arrival of Zhao army reinforcements. At the same time, Lian Po did not abandon the Light Wolf City west of the Danshui River, and built fortifications in the area of the Boundary Monument Ridge with the Light Wolf City as the front and extension, and repeatedly fought with the Qin army for the defense line of Kongcang Ridge.

The general of the Qin army, Wang Qian, who occupied Tianjing Pass, led 100,000 Qin troops to storm the defense line of Jiebeiling that the Zhao army had just built in the south.

After Wang Ji occupied Gaoping Pass, before the Zhao army reinforcements arrived, he sent Wang Ling to lead a partial division and occupied two cities in the west of Shangdang. Trying to force Lian Po to divide his troops to rescue as he did last year. However, Lian Po was unmoved, and continued to hold the defense line around Guangwolf City and Jiebei Ridge, and delayed the Qin army to the west of Guangwolf City and south of Jiebei Ridge, so that it could not advance an inch.

After the reinforcements of the Zhao State led by the deputy general Zhao Qi arrived in Shangdang, the veteran Lian Po, who retreated to the Danshui River defense line, finally breathed a sigh of relief. A military meeting was held in Hyun City, next to the Danshui River, to discuss the next military action of the Zhao army with the generals.

In the hall of the military conference, the veteran Lian Po sat on the main seat, and on either side sat Zhao Qi, who had just been appointed as Lian Po's deputy general by Zhao Wangdan, and Feng Ting, the Shangdang county guard and Huayang Jun of Zhao State.

Other Zhao generals Wang Rong, Tie Leopard, Su Shot and others sat in the hall, and many generals gathered together, with strong armor. Sitting in the hall, they all listened attentively to the veteran Lian Po's analysis and deployment of the party's battle situation at this moment.

Lian Po came to the map of Shangdang in front of the wall in the hall, pointed to the defense line of Kongcangling, and said to the generals: "Generals, the current situation is very unfavorable to my Zhao army. Taking advantage of the weakness of our army and the arrival of reinforcements, the Qin army had already broken through the Kongcangling defense line and occupied Gaoping Pass, an important pass in the Kongcangling defense line, as well as the east and west barriers to the Guangguang Wolf City. Our army counterattacked several times, trying to recapture Gaoping Pass and the east and west barriers, but they did not succeed. ”

turned around and looked at the many generals of the Zhao army under the hall, and saw that the deputy general Zhao Qi, who had just arrived, frowned, and did not do much to deal with it.

He continued to say to the generals: "Generals, now that the Shangdang area has gathered, I have more than 800,000 troops from Zhao and Qin. The old man believes that this battle is different from the past, it is a decisive battle between the main forces of our Zhao and Qin, and it is related to the national fortune of our Zhao country, and the responsibility is heavy. If the Qin army wins, my Zhao country is unimaginable; If our Zhao army wins, then our Zhao State may dominate the world, and the Qin State will decline. ”

"Although the Qin army used the Wei River and the Fen River waterways to transport soldiers, grain, grass and military supplies, they came from afar after all. Therefore, for this battle, the old man thinks that our Zhao army should not be in a hurry, and should not be in a hurry to fight a decisive battle with the Qin army. Instead, we should make painstaking preparations for a protracted war and a tug-of-war. If you stay for a long time, the soldiers of the Qin army will inevitably be tired. At that time, it will be the best time for our Zhao army to counterattack, and we will definitely be able to defeat the Qin army with one drum. ”

After a pause, he looked at the generals with his eyes and said: "With the current situation, the old man advocates that our Zhao army should retreat to the Danshui River defense line with the whole army, abandon the Kongcang Ridge defense line, and take the line from Guangwolf City to Jiebei Ridge as the front line, and prepare for a long-term battle with the Qin army." What do you think? You can come one by one. ”

After that, he sat back on the main seat and looked at the general Zhao Jun under the hall to express his opinion.

Wang Rong, the general of Zhao State, stood up, bowed down and said to Lian Po: "General, a certain general supports your opinion." Compared with the previous two years, the scale of Qin's elite army is no longer the same, which shows that it has been planned for a long time. As long as our army sticks to the defense line of the Danshui River, it can completely block the Qin army to the west of Shangdang and prevent it from moving forward. ”

Many generals such as Zhao Jun's generals Tie Leopard and Su Shot all stood up, bowed down and said to Lian Po: "The general's plan is very good, and some people will obey it." ”

Shangdang County Guard, Huayang Jun Feng Ting also stood up and said to Lian Po: "General, last year's peace negotiation now seems to be the Qin State's delaying tactics. Now our army is retreating to the Danshui River defense line, which is more advantageous than the Kongcangling defense line. As for the general's deployment and proposition, the county guard agreed. ”

Then he took a few steps forward, came to the map in front of the wall of the hall, pointed to the Danshui River defense line where the Zhao army is now, and said to the generals: "The Danshui River defense line of our Zhao army is now wide and deep. At the same time, the commanding heights of Daliang Mountain and Hanwang Mountain can have a bird's-eye view of the Danhe River valley for dozens of miles, and the movements of the enemy and us are almost all controlled by our Zhao army. ”

"And with the arrival of our army, this line of defense is as stable as the Taihang Mountains. As long as our army sticks to the defense line of the Danshui River, don't say that the Qin army is now 400,000, even if he comes to millions, what is my Zhao army afraid of? As the general said, the Qin army came from afar, as long as our Zhao army and the Qin army can confront each other for a long time, the Qin army will inevitably be tired, and when our Zhao army attacks, we will be able to defeat the Qin army in one go. ”

Before Feng Ting's words fell, he saw that he led the army to reinforce the party, and Zhao Ji, the deputy general appointed by King Zhao, stood up and said to Lian Po: "General, when a certain general first came from Handan this time, the king repeatedly told me that my Zhao army can attack, and I must recapture the defense line of Kongcangling, as well as the two cities occupied by the Qin army. ”

Then he looked at Lian Po, Wang Rong and other generals, regardless of the ugly expressions on everyone's faces, and continued: "The old general's arrangement may not match the king's trust. Originally, our Zhao army was insufficient, so this arrangement was acceptable. But my reinforcements have arrived, and if I don't fight, I am afraid that it will affect the morale of my Zhao army. A certain general is not talented, and he is willing to lead my Zhao army to launch a counterattack against the Qin army, please ask the general for approval. ”

After that, Zhao Qi clenched his fists and bowed to Lian Po.

After listening to Zhao Ji's words, all the generals in the hall were stunned. The veteran Lian Po advocated holding on to fatigue the Qin army; And Zhao Ji came with the order of King Zhao, and now he is asking for an attack, which ...... It's not going to be easy!

Wang Rong, who accompanied the veteran Lian Po, bound leopard, Su Shot and many other generals, also knew it in their hearts. In the past two years, Zhao Wangdan has been extremely dissatisfied with the veteran Lian Po's practice of joining the party. If you don't agree to the request of the newly arrived deputy general Zhao Ji this time, this statement of disrespect for the king's order will really fall on the head of the veteran Lian Po.

The generals looked at Lian Po, who was sitting on the main seat, and found that Lian Po's old face was iron-blue.

Lian Po and Feng Ting glanced at each other, then lowered their heads and pondered for a moment, raised their heads, sighed, and said to the deputy general Zhao Ji: "Since the king has ordered General Zhao to lead his troops into battle, this general will naturally be unstoppable. General Zhao Ji led the army, just came to the party, how about resting for two days first, and then sending troops to Kongcangling the day after tomorrow? ”

Zhao Qi was not only relieved to see that the veteran Lian Po had promised to fight himself. Although Zhao Ji had the dictates and orders of King Zhao this time, he was still under a lot of pressure in the face of Lian Po, a veteran who was famous all over the world and had great achievements.

Seeing that the veteran Lian Po agreed to his request, he hurriedly replied: "A certain general will obey the order." ”.
