After a long journey, Zhao Dan finally led an army of 250,000 to Suiyang City, where he joined the 100,000 Zhao army led by Le Cheng.

By this time, the main force of the Zhao army in Suiyang City had reached as many as 350,000 people.

The figure of 350,000 people sounds very scary, but if you consider the situation of the enemies of Zhao State, it is actually not so optimistic.

The Qin army had already captured Hangu Pass eight days earlier, and now it had just arrived in Xinzheng, South Korea, and was only a few days away from Suiyang City.

On the other side, the 150,000 combined forces of Wei and Chu, as well as the 150,000 main forces of Korea, had already arrived at Suiyang City and set up a large camp, confronting the main force of the Zhao army.

In this way, a situation of 300,000 Triple Alliance troops against 350,000 Zhao troops was temporarily formed outside Suiyang City.

After a simple rest for three days, Lian Po, who had already taken over the command from Le Cheng, immediately led the main force of the Zhao army to pour out and launch a fierce attack on the Three Kingdoms Alliance troops in front of him, intending to defeat the Three Kingdoms Alliance Army before the arrival of the Qin army, so as to win the initiative of the entire battle situation.

But obviously, the commanders of the Three Kingdoms Alliance had already expected this moment, so they did not have any intention of attacking the Zhao army at all, but had already laid all kinds of defensive measures outside their own camp from the first day of camping, that is, they had put on an attitude of defending to the end.

If the Three Kingdoms Alliance really dares to send troops to confront the Zhao army head-on, Zhao Dan can say with great confidence that with generals like Lian Po and Le Cheng, and these 350,000 elite Zhao forces in the southern and northern wars, the Zhao army can definitely take care of all the 300,000 local chickens, tiles, and dogs on the opposite side in one battle.

It's a pity that the Three Kingdoms Coalition Army has made up its mind to retreat, and in such a situation, the Zhao Army has no choice but to press the camp of the Three Kingdoms Coalition Army on all fronts.

No matter what era, it is always easier to defend than to attack, so even with the strength of the Zhao army, after several days of fierce attack and many casualties, it is still impossible to break through the defense line of the Three Kingdoms Alliance.

At this time, another bad news came, the people of Qin were very close to Suiyang City.

In order to prevent the Qin people from taking advantage of the fisherman, Zhao Dan made a decision at the request of Lian Po to temporarily abandon the attack on the alliance forces of the three kingdoms outside Suiyang City.

The battle situation thus entered a confrontational mode.

After another three days, the 150,000 Qin army finally arrived outside Suiyang under the leadership of Wang Yi and successfully joined forces with the other Three Kingdoms alliances.

At this point, the situation on the Suiyang battlefield changed again, forming a situation in which the 450,000 troops of the Four-Power Alliance faced the main force of Zhao with 350,000 troops.

As a result, the Four-Nation Alliance not only surpassed in terms of numbers, but also surpassed Zhao by as many as 100,000 people.

After the arrival of the Qin army, the coalition forces that had been unable to shrink finally began to become active, and even tried to send some small troops to launch some tentative attacks on the Zhao army's defensive line, hoping to see if they could achieve any results.

However, the combat effectiveness of the main force of Zhao State in the past so many years is naturally not blown, and several tentative attacks by the Four-Nation Alliance Army have all been effortlessly beaten back by the soldiers of Zhao State.

After repeating this, the Four-Nation Coalition Army simply did not even carry out this small attack, and confronted the Zhao Army like this, and the entire battlefield fell into a somewhat strange calm.

For the side of the Four Nations Alliance, they were actually not in a hurry at all, because according to the prior plan, they were still waiting for another very important coalition force, that is, the 150,000 Qi army led by Qi Guo Kuang Liang to come to rendezvous.

Once the 150,000 Qi army led by Kuang Liang could arrive in time, the combined forces of the Five Nations Alliance would have a full 600,000 people, and even in the face of the 350,000 elite main force of Zhao State, they would be able to have an overwhelming numerical advantage.

But Zhao Guo is actually not in a hurry, because if the people of Qi want to come to Suiyang City, it is not easy at all, after all, Pang Xuan has already led 80,000 Zhao troops to Hejian Land.

Unlike the main force on the side of Suiyang City, most of the 80,000 Zhao troops led by Pang Xuan were county soldiers from various counties and young men who were temporarily recruited, and only 10,000 central troops were drawn from Handan, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they were miscellaneous troops.

But I have to say that Pang Xuan can be called a famous general, which is indeed reasonable. Even if he led such a force that was quite far behind the Qi army in terms of combat effectiveness and quantity, Pang Xuan still succeeded in dragging the Qi people to the river.

For half a month, the Qi army, under the leadership of Kuang Liang, launched many attacks on the Yangjin City guarded by Pang Xuan, but did not make any breakthrough at all, and was blocked in the north of Dayozawa, unable to move south even a step.

On the battlefield in the northeast of Zhao, the 120,000 Yan army marched south, conquered cities including Wusui and Zhongren with great speed, occupied all the land of Zhao north of the Tang River, and further crossed the Tang River to surround Gucheng, an important town in the north of Zhao.

Zhao Dan is not very worried about this, after all, this is something that can be expected in advance.

Moreover, in Gu Cheng, there are also 50,000 Zhao troops led by Ju Xin to defend, although the Yan people surrounded Gu Cheng, but Zhao Dan thinks that with Ju Xin's ability, there should be no problem in holding Gu Cheng for at least a few months.

The Qi State could not advance westward, the Yan State was blocked from moving south, and the situation outside Suiyang City was calm, and the whole war seemed to have completely reached a stalemate.

In the Suiyang camp of Zhao State, there was a very fierce quarrel over how to resolve this impasse.

Some of the generals of Zhao Guo believe that now they should take the initiative to attack when the Qi people have not yet come to rendezvous, and fight with the four-nation alliance army in front of them, as long as they can defeat the four-nation alliance army outside Suiyang City, then victory is in Zhao's bag.

However, there were other generals of Zhao who expressed resolute opposition to this view.

These opponents believe that in any case, Zhao State's current strength and combat effectiveness are at a disadvantage on any battlefield, and Suiyang City is the top priority, once the attack is defeated, then Zhao State has no room to turn over.

Therefore, the opponents feel that Zhao only needs to maintain the current situation and not let the Six-Nation Alliance make any progress.

As long as they can hold out for a few more months, when winter comes, the Six-Nation Alliance will definitely not be able to bear it and will withdraw on their own.

These two opinions have their own supporters in Zhao Guo's camp and even among the high-level leaders of Zhao State, and the constant quarrels between the two factions make Zhao Dan, the king, also very big.

According to the usual practice, I finally came to ask Zhao Dan's opinion.

But this time, after thinking about it for a long time, Zhao Dan didn't give any opinion, but said: "Wu Xinjun is the main general of this army, and anything related to the war should be based on Wu Xinjun's order as the final result." ”

Zhao Dan's personal expedition this time does not mean that he is going to go into battle to command. On the contrary, Zhao Dan knew that although he was a traverser, he didn't know anything about things like commanding operations.

Zhao Dan is actually here to be a mascot to encourage morale this time, and the matter of fighting a war has to be done by a professional person like Lian Po, after all, when it comes to the professionalism of the war, there is absolutely no one in the current Zhao Kingdom except Li Mu who can wrestle with Lian Po.

As for the fact that Lian Po has also suffered defeats, Zhao Dan thinks it is not a bad thing.

The more you win, the easier it is to be complacent, after experiencing a failure, Lian Po must definitely learn a lesson and hold his breath to prove himself again, this kind of Lian Po is more terrible than the previous Lian Po who won the battle and ignored everyone in the world.

The reason why Lian Po didn't open his mouth at the beginning was that he was afraid that his own opinion would conflict with the opinion of Zhao Dan, the king, since Zhao Dan, the king, had decided to completely hand over the command to Lian Po, then Lian Po was naturally no longer polite, and made a direct decision - to hold the position and avoid the battle for the time being.

Lian Po believes that now the four-nation alliance army outside Suiyang City has just met and is in a period of high morale, and in terms of momentum, the coalition army will definitely defeat Zhao Guo, after all, four fights and one.

But as long as the time drags on slowly, the sharpness of the Six Nations Alliance will slowly decrease, and the soldiers of Zhao State, who were originally under great pressure in their hearts, will find that there are many enemies on the opposite side, but in fact, they are helpless at all, and at this time, the period of Zhao soldiers will naturally slowly rise.

In this way, the morale between the two sides will be weakened, and Zhao's hope of victory will naturally be greatly increased.

Regarding Lian Po's judgment, Zhao Dan expressed unconditional support.

In fact, to be honest, Zhao Dan's thoughts are exactly the same as Lian Po, that is, he should really avoid war at this time.

But Zhao Dan's starting point and reason are completely different from Lian Po, Lian Po is considered from the aspect of morale, while Zhao Dan's reason is purely because of one person, who is still thousands of miles away at this moment, and I don't know if there is Li Mu, the envoy of the northern economy of Zhao State, who has entered the territory of Qin.

Zhao Dan was waiting for Li Mu to be able to do some earth-shattering things in Guanzhong and in the hinterland of the Qin people, and Zhao Dan was very confident in Li Mu.
