The mobilization of the army on the front line of the Qin State was soon seen by the old opponent Zhao State.

In late September, Ji Kang's uncle Zhao Wangdan brought Zhao Sheng, the king of Pingyuan, and the two talked about it.

After the Battle of Changping, Zhao Wangdan was very dissatisfied with Zhao Sheng for a while.

Because in the Battle of Changping, Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, made several suggestions that made Zhao lose too much.

In particular, it was suggested that the veteran Lian Po be replaced with Zhao Kuo, so that the entire Zhao army was annihilated, and the national capital was shaken.

But then in the next battle of Handan, Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, played an active role in the face of the crisis of the loss of the country.

not only let his wives and concubines, but also sew clothes for the soldiers of Zhao State.

He also took out all the belongings of his family and distributed them to the soldiers and civilians in Handan, actively supporting the fight against the Qin army.

What is especially important is that Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, also led Mao Sui and others at the door, and actively ran around, persuading the state of Chu and Wei to join the war against the state of Qin, so that the state of Zhao avoided the danger of losing the country.

It can be said that Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, played a very important role in the battle of Handan.

It really made people see him as one of the "Four Great Sons of the World".

This made Zhao Wangdan very satisfied, and he began to respect him very much.

"Uncle Wang, now that King Yingji of Qin has forced the Son of Heaven to death, the world is turbulent. I, Zhao Guo, face such a situation, how should I deal with it? ”

In a side hall of the Handan Palace, Zhao Dan asked Pingyuan Jun Zhao Shengdao.

Zhao Sheng thought about it for a while, and said to Zhao Wangdan: "Your Majesty, now King Yingji of Qin has forced the Son of Heaven to death and stole Jiuding, which has caused the anger of the people in the world. I, Zhao, should take advantage of the situation and make a difference. ”

Zhao Wangdan stood up, came to the map hanging on the wall in the hall, looked at the map, and said to Zhao Sheng:

"Uncle Wang, now the army of the Qin State led by the Qin general Wang Di is still stationed in Ningxinzhong (now Anyang City, Henan), ready to use troops against our Zhao State at any time. The widow now sees clearly, if Yingji Lao'er doesn't destroy my Zhao Kingdom, he will not give up. ”

"Uncle Wang, you're right, although I, Zhao Guo, are very difficult now. But in the face of the current situation, it should be done to the Qin State again. Let Yingji Lao'er see, my Zhao Guo is not so easy to mess with. ”

"Uncle Wang, the widow has just received a secret report from the spies from Luoyi and Ningxinzhong, saying that Qin Wang Yingji has returned to Xianyang, and the main army led by the Qin general Zhao Ji will go back with him."

At the same time, the king of Qin asked Zhang Tang, the deputy general of the Qin army in Ning Xinzhong, to lead an army of 50,000 to the south and garrison Luoyi. Now the Qin army led by Wang Yu, who is staying in Ningxinzhong, is less than 100,000. I, Zhao Guo, face such a form, how to use it? ”

Ning Xinzhong was renamed Anyang by Qin, but Wei, Zhao and other states still called Ning Xinzhong.

Indicates that he does not recognize the occupation of Qin, as did all the countries in Ji Kang's previous life.

Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, also got up and walked to the map hanging on the wall.

Stretched out his right hand and pointed to the Southern Great Wall of Zhao on the map, and said to Zhao Wang Dan: "Your Majesty, what my king said just now is very right, and the minister agrees." For so many years, my Zhao State and Qin State have been a blood feud. King Yingji of Qin will not be willing to destroy my Zhao Kingdom. ”

"My king, please see, the Qin army occupies Ningxinzhong in Wei, adjacent to Pingyang and Wucheng at the southern end of our capital Handan. The Qin army is stationed here, and it is possible to launch a new wave of attacks on our capital Handan at any time, which is too much of a threat to my Zhao State, and my Zhao State must not ignore it. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Sheng's finger then turned south, pointing at Ning Xinzhong, which was occupied by the Qin general Wang Di.

He said to Zhao Dan again: "Your Majesty, the minister suggests that when the main force of the Qin army returns to China, there is not much left of the Qin army in Ningxinzhong. I, Zhao State, should let Lecheng and Qingshe, the two generals, lead the army of my Zhao State in Pingyang and Wucheng, go out of the Great Wall of our southern line, take the initiative to attack Ningxinzhong, where Wang Yi is located, and pull it out. ”

After the Zhao State moved its capital from Zhongmu (now Hebixi, Henan) to Handan, it began to build the Great Wall of the North and South, just like the Yan State.

The Southern Great Wall of Zhao was built earlier than the Northern Great Wall, and was built by Zhao Wangdan's great-grandfather, Zhao Suhou.

The Great Wall is formed by the embankments of Zhangshui and Fushui.

It roughly started from the southwest of Wu'an (now Wu'an, Hebei) and extended southeast to Pingyang (now southeast of Cixian County, Hebei) and southwest of Wucheng (now southwest of Cixian County, Hebei). With Pingyang and Wucheng as the center, it turns northeast and follows Zhangshui to the southwest of present-day Feiyi (now Feixiang District, Handan City, Hebei Province).

After listening to the words of Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, Zhao Dan thought for a while and nodded.

"What Uncle Wang said is exactly what the widow wants. Since the Qin State wants to destroy my Zhao State at any time, my Zhao State is not so easy to bully. Uncle Wang, let's draft an edict! Ling Lecheng and Qingshe led the southern army of Pingyang and Wucheng of Zhao State with 200,000 troops, and they could go out of the Great Wall and attack the headquarters of Wang Yu in Ningxinzhong. ”

Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng bowed down and said, "No." ”

In late September, in the name of avenging the Son of Heaven Ji Yan, Zhao Wangdan ordered Lecheng and Qingshe, who were stationed in Pingyang (southeast of present-day Ci County, Hebei) and Wucheng (southwest of present-day Ci County), to lead an army of 200,000 to launch a surprise attack on the Qin army stationed at the command of Wang Ji in Anyang.

Wang Yi was caught off guard and lost one after another.

At the beginning of October, Zhao Guo's general Le Cheng and his deputy general Qingshe broke through Ning Xinzhong.

The Qin general Wang Ji was forced to retreat to Luoyi with his lieutenant Zhang Tang.

After the Zhao army occupied Ningxinzhong, their morale was greatly boosted. Immediately, the general of Zhao State, Le Cheng, and the deputy general Qingshe, led the army of Zhao State to chase after Wang Di and prepare to launch an attack on Luoyi City.

In the Wei State to the south of the Zhao State, the Wei Wang Yu was defeated by the Zhao army when he saw the Qin army that occupied his Ningxinzhong. He also began to gather a large army and sent envoys to Handan, preparing to join forces with Zhao and attack the Qin army.

Even Han Wangran, who was afraid of Qin like a tiger, saw this situation and began to act stupidly, wanting to gather troops and recapture the two cities of Yangcheng (now southeast of Dengfeng, Henan) and Chenghuang (now southwest of Dengfeng) occupied by Qin.

And after Chunshenjun Huang Xie led the Chu army to occupy the Lu State, he finally aroused the vigilance of the Qi State.

After the state of Chu occupied the capital of the state of Lu, Chun Shenjun Huang Xie was not satisfied, and while stabilizing the state of Lu, he also sent troops to the border of Feiguo, a vassal state of the state of Qi. Seeing this, King Fei was very frightened and sent an envoy to Qi to ask for help.

The queen immediately ordered the army of Qi to go to the border between Qi and Fei to prevent the invasion of Chu.

The Qin army, Wang Ji and Zhang Tang, led the Qin army to block the Zhao army in Luoyi City, and on the other hand, they hurriedly sent someone to report to the Qin king Yingji, asking him to send a large army to support the Qin army as soon as possible.

After receiving Wang Di's request for help, Qin Wang Yingji was so angry that he threw the silk silk written by Wang Ju to the ground in front of Fan Ju.

Facing Fan Ju, he scolded Wang Di: "Xiangguo, this Wang Ju is a waste!" The widow asked him to fight Changping, but he couldn't beat it; The widow asked him to beat Handan, but he still couldn't beat it; The widow asked him to garrison Anyang, and he lost Anyang. ”

In this way, the widow did not blame him, and let him continue to be the main general. He can't beat the veteran Lian Po, the widow knows that Lian Po is powerful, and this widow can bear it; But now, he can't even beat Lecheng. ”

"Xiangguo, tell me, he has been Wu Anjun's deputy general for so many years, and he hasn't even learned Wu Anjun's fifty percent of his skills; No, it's just that Sancheng hasn't learned anything. What use does the widow want from him? It's better to let him come back. ”

Qin Xiang Fan Ju saw that Qin Wang Yingji began to talk about Wu Anjun again, and he was really scared in his heart.

But knowing that this is not the time to worry about this.

Fan Ju hurriedly dissuaded Yingji and said, "King, don't do it now." Now our army has been newly defeated and lost the city of Anyang. At this time, all the princes of the world are secretly pregnant with ghosts, and they want to be unfavorable to our Qin State. ”

"General Wang Ji has joined forces with General Zhang Tang and is engaged in battle with the Zhao army led by Le Cheng in Luoyi. If Wang Di is replaced, who will replace him? My king can quickly send an army to Luoyi, and reinforcements will be. ”

King Yingji of Qin stood up and wandered back and forth in the hall.

After a long while, he said to Fan Ju:

"Xiangguo, now my generals of the Qin State are withering very much! Wu Anjun was given to die; The two generals, Meng Fu and Sima Terrier, also died in the Shangdang; Even your savior, Zheng Anping, led his troops to surrender to the enemy. It seems that only newcomers can be enabled! ”

Then he said to Fan Ju: "Xiangguo, let's draft an edict!" General Zhao Yi, who was stationed at Hangu Pass, could lead an army of 100,000 troops to send troops to Hangu Pass to reinforce Luoyi. After Zhao Yi led the army to Luoyi to join Wang Yi and Zhang Tang, Zhao Yi was ordered to be the main general and Wang Yi was the deputy general, so that the Zhao army must be defeated and the widow recaptured Anyang. ”

Fan Ju bowed and said, "No." ”

In mid-October, the Qin general Zhao Yi, who had just returned to Hangu Pass, received an edict from King Yingji of Qin.

He immediately led 100,000 Qin troops from the army to Guguan and came to Luoyi City.

Throughout the Central Plains, all countries are deploying troops. There was smoke billowing everywhere, and there was chaos.
