Qin Wangdang instantly understood what Zhang Yi meant.

This is related to the situation in Zhao State.

In the past, the three families were divided, and the strength of Zhao was the strongest, and the expansion direction of Zhao at that time was to defend the country in the south, which was the goal established by Zhao Jianzi when he was a child.

As a result, Wei Wenhou intervened sideways and built Yecheng in the south of Handan, blocking Zhao's southward route.

Then, Zhao Guo had no way to defend the country, as long as he focused on the Zhongshan Kingdom in the northeast, unfortunately, the Zhao State invaded the Zhongshan State and suffered a fiasco, in order to repel the invasion of the Zhongshan State, Zhao Guo asked Wei to help, and even more unfortunately, Wei Guo helped too much, and destroyed the Zhongshan State in one go.

This was not over, not long after, Wu Qi fought against the Rong people and took Shangjun in one go.

From then on, Wei blocked the direction of Zhao's development to the east, south and west.

As for the north, it was the territory of the Hu people.

By now, Shangjun has become the territory of Qin, and at this moment Qin and Zhao are fighting in Shangjun, and Wei is still under the protection of Wei, if Zhao wants not to turn his face with Wei, it will go west or northeast.

If Zhao State challenged Qin State alone, Qin Wang Dang was conceited that the Qin army could defeat the Zhao army.

If Zhao Guo plans to attack Zhongshan, then the growth of Zhongshan State, or the connection between Zhongshan State and Qi State, this is unbearable.

Once Zhongshan borders Qi, the worst-case scenario is that Zhao is interfered with by Qi.

The second is that Zhao and Qi are equally divided into Zhongshan State, but the strength of Qi State is stronger than Zhao State, and Zhao State will definitely not be able to win Qi State...

After thinking about this, King Qin sneered: "In this case, let's wait for the defeat of Yan and let King Yan cry to King Zhao!" ”

Zhang Yi arched his hand: "The king is wise! ”

Qin Wang Dang smiled bitterly twice when he heard this.

Seeing this, Zhang Yi was about to say goodbye and leave, when suddenly, a messenger ran in from the outside: "Report, King, two days ago, the people in the city of Fushi rebelled, and the Zhao army seized the city with foreign cooperation. ”

"Now that the Shangjun guards the city and died, the chief has retreated to the western capital when he sees this."

"What?"

King Qin was dizzy, his face was bloodless, and he almost passed out.

Zhang Yi reacted, and when he saw that King Qin was silent for a long time, he immediately spoke: "The king already knows about this, you immediately retreat." ”

"No."

Then, after a while, Qin Wangdang recovered, but it was still difficult to accept it for a while, his head was in chaos, and he couldn't help but ask Zhang Yi: "Father, the skin is lost, and the door of Shangjun is wide open, how is this matter good." ”

Zhang Yi's face flashed a hint of melancholy, and then quickly regained his composure, and replied: "Great King, the western capital is small, which is not conducive to defense, and Shu Changjian will definitely not trap the western capital, so we must be prepared to divide the county equally with the Qin State." ”

"Divide the county equally?" Qin Wangdang nodded.

Not only the western capital, but also the other county towns in Shangjun are also not strong, and they will definitely not be able to hold in the face of the attack of the Qi-Zhao coalition army.

Seeing Qin Wangdang nodding, Zhang Yi suddenly had a plan, and after careful deliberation for a while, he spoke: "King, the minister has a plan to separate the two countries of Qi and Zhao. ”

King Qin was stunned for a moment, and immediately spoke: "Dare to ask what the plan of the father is?" ”

Zhang Yi replied: "The king, since the counties of Shangjun are no longer defensible, then the minister's strategy is to use the counties in the north of Shangjun to divide Qi Zhao. ”

"Qi State didn't really want to strengthen Zhao State when he helped Zhao State, but just wanted to use Qin State to lure Zhao State, after all, the strength of Zhao State is also a disaster for Qi State."

"The minister's plan is to let Shu Changjian retreat to Gaonu County, which is dark in Yanshui, abandon all the cities north of Yanshui, and face Zhao across the water."

"There are more than ten counties in the north of Yanshui, and the State of Qi will definitely not divide troops to garrison, and the State of Zhao will definitely leave troops to garrison after seizing the counties, so as to weaken the strength of the Zhao army, plus the Great War of the State of Zhao, especially when crossing the river and attacking the city of Fushi, the losses are not small, so the strength of the State of Zhao will be dwarfed."

Qin Wangdang's eyes lit up: "If the Qi army sees that Zhao State has captured most of the upper counties in a short period of time, they will definitely worry that Zhao State will be difficult to govern, so they will not help Zhao State continue to gamble and attack Gaonu City." ”

"And Uncle Wang still has more than 100,000 Qin troops in his hands, and Zhao has lost the help of Qi State, and he has to divide his troops to defend the counties, and his strength is definitely insufficient, so he will stop marching troops."

Zhang Yi nodded, and said with a cold light in his eyes: "This is the first step to divide Qi Zhao with Shangjun, and then after the defeat of Yan State, King Yan asks Zhao State for help, then when it comes to Zhongshan Kingdom, Zhao State will definitely make a move to destroy Qi State's plan, this is the second step of dividing Qi Zhao." ”

"As soon as these two things happen, then it will be difficult for the Qi-Zhao Alliance to maintain, and even if it can be maintained, the Qi army will definitely withdraw. As soon as the Qi army withdraws, then even if Zhao and Wei join forces, our Qin State will not be afraid. ”

"Okay." Qin Wang Dang responded: "Then plan to act, notify the counties to transfer the elite soldiers, and then when the counties face the attack of the Zhao State, as long as they can hold on for half a day, then even if the county orders do their best, when the Qin State recovers the counties of the upper counties in the future, the widow will pardon them." ”

"The king is wise."

······

Luoyi.

Xiong Huai held the battle report of the recent period, and his heart was worried and happy.

Not long ago, Zhao conquered the city of Fushi, and then the army was divided into three ways, and the main force of the Lechi Shuai looked for a decisive battle in the city, and then the city avoided without fighting, and retreated all the way south to the Gaonu City on the south bank of Yanshui, and held it across the river from the Lechi. The other two Zhao armies attacked the counties of Shangjun in the south and the north.

In less than ten days, more than ten counties north of Yanshui all fell into the hands of Zhao State.

Xiong Huai's heart is full of worries about Zhao Guo's big seat, and when things come to this point, I am afraid that it will not be long before Chu's voice in Wei and Han will plummet, and Chu will no longer be the only one in the alliance.

And what made Xiong Huai secretly happy in his heart was that as soon as the two countries formed an alliance, there was an immediate dirty affair.

According to the news from Shangjun, after Zhao swept through the northern part of Shangjun, he wanted to make persistent efforts to go south to fight a decisive battle with Yuliji, but was rejected by Kuang Zhang, who rested on the spot and stopped on the grounds that he was tired from the war.

Now more than 100,000 Zhao troops and 100,000 Qin troops are in a stalemate in Yanhe.

Just as Xiong Huai was thinking about how to further centrifuge the two countries of Qi and Zhao, Chen Zhen walked in from outside and said, "Great King, there is news from the north. ”

"A few days ago, 100,000 Zhongshan troops suddenly appeared in the rear of the Yan army, cutting off the retreat of the Yan army. At the same time, the 100,000 Qi army crossed the river and had already invaded the territory of the Yan State, and the soldiers pointed directly at Yangcheng Qu Rebellion, intending to completely trap the 100,000 Yan troops in the territory of the Zhongshan State. ”

"What?" Xiong Huai was taken aback.

The matter of the 100,000 Qi army is good to say, these days the Qi country has been gathering troops in the north, and the time is calculated, it is about the same.

But the appearance of the strength behind the Yan army in Zhongshan was really unexpected.

Xiong Huai asked: "Xianqing, didn't Zhongshan gather troops in the capital Lingshou before, what is going on with these 100,000 troops." ”

Chen Zhen sighed and said, "King, according to the intelligence, this time it was Yan Guozhong's plan. ”

"The forces of Zhongshan had been ambushed before the conflict, and after the conflict broke out, Zhongshan was defeated and led the Yan army to Zhongren City. After the Qi army was ready, the two countries attacked together and besieged the Yan army in Zhongshan. ”

Xiong Huai was stunned and said: "That is to say, the 100,000 Yan army is over." ”

Chen Zhen nodded: "If there is no accident, these 100,000 Yan troops will definitely be finished." ”

Xiong Huai was silent for a moment, shook his head and said: "No, the enmity between Qi and Yan is as deep as the sea and there are many contradictions, and Yan is an important chess piece to contain Qi." If the 100,000 Yan army was wiped out again this time, then the Yan country will be completely weakened, and it will be difficult to do anything in more than ten years, and it will not be able to achieve the goal of containing the Qi country. ”

"If the State of Qi has no worries, then once a big war breaks out between the Widow and the State of Yue, then the State of Qi may attack with all its might, and at that time, it will be a disaster for the State of Chu."

"Therefore, if the widow wants to rescue the Yan Kingdom, even if the 100,000 Yan army cannot be saved, at least half of it must be saved."
