With the siege of Daliang City, on the land of the Central Plains, two extremely eye-catching battles unfolded in the north and south of the Yellow River.

Needless to say, the first battle was naturally the siege of Handan by Qi and Wei, and the second major battle was the attack of the Zhao and Han coalition forces on Daliang City.

Speaking of which, this is actually a very magical war, and both sides invariably choose to attack each other's lair, rather than fighting the main force of the other side head-on.

If we want to use a popular game term in later generations, then this behavior of the two should be called - changing homes.

In other words, the competition between the two sides at this moment is no longer to see whose army is of higher quality and whose command ability is stronger as in traditional warfare, but to compete whose Miyagi is faster.

You must know that there are kings of these two capitals in these two capitals, and if Handan is the first to be breached, then Zhao Dan is likely to fall into the hands of the Wei Qi coalition army; And if Daliang City is breached, Wei Wangyu may also be unable to fly.

Using two kings to make a bet, this bet has to be said, in fact, it is very large.

For the decision made by the two coaches Li Mu and Wei Wuji, it is not that no one has raised doubts.

For example, Xu Li, the deputy general of Zhao State, once said to Li Mu: "General, now that the walls of this Great Liang City are thick, it is really difficult to overcome, why don't we lead the army north to rescue Handan?" ”

In Xu Li's opinion, due to the existence of more than 10,000 cavalry of the Zhao State, if there is a decisive battle with the Wei Qi coalition army in the plain, the chances of victory of the Zhao and Han coalition forces are actually not small.

Li Muhehe, who was holding a leg of mutton and gnawing on his mouth full of oil, laughed for a while, and then gave his answer very happily.

"There are two reasons for this. First of all, our army is only 120,000 at present, plus the 30,000 horses just sent by General Lian Po are only 150,000, while the combined Weiqi coalition army outside Handan City has exceeded 300,000. In such a huge disadvantage of troops, although our army has the advantage of cavalry, the chances of victory are not great. And don't forget, Wei Wuji is not a fool like Yan Guorong, but a famous general. ”

"Secondly, Koreans are actually not reliable. After coming into contact with Jin Huang in these days, although Jin Huang tried his best to cover it up, I could still feel that the Koreans did not intend to send troops to help Zhao Guo sincerely, they just saw that the current war situation had fallen to Zhao's side, so they took the opportunity to join and wanted to take advantage of it. ”

When Li Mu said this, he threw aside the leg of mutton bone that had just been gnawed clean, and smiled at Xu Li: "General Xu Li, I can bet a hundred gold with you, if we really fight a decisive battle with Wei Qi and the two armies outside Handan City, then as long as the battle situation is a little stalemate, the Korean side is likely to change, and it is even possible to defect, and Handan will be really in danger at that time!" So I can't take that risk. ”

After hearing these words, Xu Li pondered for a long time, and finally nodded convincingly, agreeing with Li Mu's opinion.

After thinking for a while, Xu Li said again: "But now that Wei Wuji has besieged Handan for so long, can we really take this Great Liang City before Wei Wuji breaks through Handan?" ”

To be honest, considering Wei Wuji's fame, most people would put the treasure on Wei Wuji instead of Li Mu in this confrontation.

That's right, although Li Mu is now recognized by the mainland as a rising general, but Wei Wuji is a famous Mesozoic general on the mainland for a long time.

In the eyes of many people, perhaps Li Mu may reach the same level as Wei Wuji in the future, but the current Li Mu cannot be compared with Wei Wuji.

Therefore, in the eyes of most people, Li Mu and Zhao Guo will lose in this big battle with Wei Wuji.

For such worries, Li Mubao laughed heartily, and then told Xu Li an amazing secret.

"General Xu Li, what if I told you that the king had already expected today's situation?"

After a long time, Xu Li walked out of Li Mu's tent refreshed, but if he looked closely, he could still find a little shock on Xu Li's face.

……

When Yin Chun Shenjun Huang Xie, the commander of the State of Chu, heard that Li Mu planned to use the means of exchanging families to fight Wei Wuji, Huang Xie told Chu Wang Yuan this.

"Great King, the news of the defeat of the Zhao State is about to come."

Under Chu Wangyuan's puzzled eyes, Huang Xie gave the answer: "If it comes to the strength of the army's combat effectiveness, the current Zhao and Han coalition forces are not as good as Wei Qi, and when it is the turn of command, Li Mu is not as good as Wei Wuji; When it comes to the solidity of the city, Handan is not as good as Daliang City. In this way, does Zhao Guo have a chance of winning? Qi Wei is almost a sure winner. ”

After hearing this, Chu Wangyuan felt that it made a lot of sense, so he asked again: "If this is the case, what should the widow do?" ”

Chun Shenjun Huang Xie said to Chu Wangyuan with great certainty: "The minister has three strategies: upper, middle and lower. The best strategist immediately sent troops to attack the Qin State and recapture the entire Nanyang County. In the middle strategy, send troops to help the Zhao and Han coalition forces, and strive to make Daliang City and Handan City be breached in about a while. The next strategy is to directly send troops to reinforce Handan, and start a decisive battle with the Wei Qi coalition army. ”

After listening to Huang Xie's plan, Chu Wangyuan couldn't help but hesitate: "But in this case, if Handan is broken and King Zhao is captured, will Zhao State fall directly?" ”

Of course, Chu Wang Yuan was not so kind to hope that Zhao would become stronger, he just didn't want to see the two sworn enemies of Wei and Qi drinking too much of Zhao's blood, which would lead to the final disaster of Chu.

Huang Xie touched the beard on his face and said with a smile: "The king is too worried." If Handan is broken, Zhao can also move the capital to Lingshou, Jinyang and even Hedong, if Zhao Wangdan is captured, then Zhao can also set up a new monarch, how can there be a danger of collapse? And after this battle, then the Zhao State will definitely collapse, and the Qin State is now also hit hard by the Zhao State, isn't this a good opportunity for my Great Chu to take advantage of the situation? The king must not be overlooked! ”

After thinking about it for a while, Chu Wangyuan felt that what his Ling Yin said was too much to his liking.

So Chu Wang Yuan made a very decisive decision: "Chun Shenjun, the widow ordered you to be the main general, Shangzhu Guo Jingyang as the deputy general, lead 150,000 troops to crusade against the Qin State, and be sure to recapture all the land that the Qin State took from my Great Chu at one time!" ”

So the wheel of war rolled again, and the army of Chu roared out, heading all the way to the west, preparing to take advantage of the fire and rob the old enemy Qin State.

As for Handan, where the ally Zhao State is under siege...... To be honest, the monarchs and ministers of the Chu State should be more willing to hear the news of the attack on Handan.

This is the Warring States Period of deceit and deceit.
