For Handan City and even the entire Zhao Kingdom, this spring in 257 BC is definitely an unforgettable spring.

In this spring, hundreds of thousands of Handan soldiers and civilians of Zhao resisted the attack of the combined forces of Wei and Qi, and held out until the last moment of victory.

After breaking through Daliang City, Li Mu, who had been prepared, successfully intercepted many ships that escaped from the city, and finally found Wei Wangyu and Duan Ganzi in disguise on one of the seemingly inconspicuous small boats.

In fact, it was not only Wei Wangyu who became a prisoner, but also many Wei ministers also fell into the hands of Li Mu.

At any time, as long as they are not faced with a complete desperate situation, it is always much easier for the powerful than the common people to survive.

After all, the resources possessed by both sides are not on the same level at all.

And after catching this big pile of big fish, Li Mu was satisfied with the leader Zhao Guo and the Korean coalition army all the way north, pointing directly at Handan.

It was at this time that Li Mu received the news that the main force of Zhao led by Lian Po had also returned all the way east to Shangdang County, and as long as it took a few days, he would be able to attack Li Mu on both sides and kill the Wei Qi coalition army outside Handan City.

However, just when Li Mu received the news from Lian Po, the order from Zhao Dan of Handan City also arrived.

Zhao Dan's order is actually very simple, that is, the war is temporarily over.

After learning that the city of Daliang had been breached, Wei Wuji immediately issued an order to collect his troops, and sent an envoy to the city of Handan, hoping to negotiate peace with Zhao.

On the other side, Kuang Liang, the general of the Qi army, who was attacking Handan City of Zhao with Wei, saw that the situation was not good, and even retreated directly from the camp, retreating all the way back to the Qi State.

As a result, this great war, which lasted for several months and involved most of the countries in the entire Warring States Seven Heroes, was at least temporarily over for Zhao.

The reason why it is said to be a temporary end is because there is a very important step that has not yet been completed.

This is, of course, the upcoming peace talks between Zhao and Wei.

Of course, if you put it vulgarly, it can actually be seen as Zhao Guo's bloodletting of Wei State.

Of course, the victor wants to enjoy the benefits of victory, doesn't he?

"Since the brothers Wei Wuji and Wei Wangyu dare to betray the covenant between the widows, then they must be mentally prepared to pay the price. The widow must let the whole world understand that betraying the widow and Zhao Guo will not end well! ”

This is Zhao Dan above the Zhao State of Zhao in Handan City. Uttered in a categorical tone.

This time, the Zhao Dynasty was actually very lively.

Because it not only gathers the seven important ministers of Zhao State and many ministers who have been on the stage in Handan City, but also the county guards of the major places of Zhao State, the head of the Northern Frontier Cavalry Regiment, the leaders of the two departments of Lin Hu and Loufu, etc., basically covering all the important figures in the military and political aspects of Zhao State.

After all, Handan City has been surrounded for so long, and it has lost contact with the outside world for a long time, so there are many things that need to be restored, and there are many matters that need to be re-communicated, which is definitely not a simple project.

In order to prevent some things from causing disputes and disputes between the central and local governments because of the isolation of the past few months, Zhao Dan simply summoned all the local leaders and brains back.

After Zhao Dan set the tone for this meeting, the ministers of Zhao scrambled to speak.

"King, since the Wei State is so hateful, and now that Daliang City has been broken by the King's order Li Mu, then the King might as well go south to destroy this Wei State as an example."

As soon as these words came out, they were immediately approved by many people.

After all, all the people present were from Zhao State, and they all hated Wei State's anti-water behavior very much.

Moreover, now that the capital of Wei, Daliang City, has been breached, and the main force of Wei led by Wei Wuji is now blocked by Li Mu and the Korean troops, and it is impossible to retreat to the territory of Wei on the south bank of the Yellow River.

As long as Zhao Dan is willing, he can now let Lian Po and Li Mu send troops together to attack Wei Wuji, who is in a dilemma.

Among them, the most violent ones are undoubtedly Zhao Dan's two uncles, Zhao Sheng and Zhao Bao.

Needless to say, Zhao Sheng has become the Xiangbang of Zhao State in Handan City these days, and he has to deal with a lot of trivial things, so he naturally hates Wei State very much.

Even if Wei Wangyu and Wei Wuji can be regarded as Zhao Sheng's brothers-in-law, Zhao Sheng does not intend to give up this ruthless lesson, and even destroy the excellent opportunity of the Wei State.

Of course, not all of them are the main battle faction.

In this battle, Pang Xuan, who was in charge of Handan's defense, stood up and poured a basin of cold water on the main battle faction.

"Now that the officers and men of our army have fought many battles and returned to Handan from Guanzhong after a long journey, they must be extremely tired, if they fight in such a state, can they really defeat Wei Wuji's troops?"

Zhao Sheng was very unhappy when he heard this, and immediately glared at Pang Xuan fiercely: "Pang Qing, do you think that now my Great Zhao Xiongshi will still be defeated by Wei Wuji?" ”

Pang Xuan nodded slowly, and said in a deep voice: "The arrogant army will be defeated, Pingyuan Jun, although Wei Wuji retreated, but the strength of the Wei army was not damaged, if Wei Wuji led the Wei army to fight to the death and caused our army to be defeated, wouldn't it be a disaster?" ”

It's not just Pang Xuan, but Ji Xin, who served as Pang Xuan's deputy in the defense of Handan this time, also stood up, and also took a clear stand against continuing to send troops.

So the whole court immediately began a big debate.

Zhao Dan looked at the court in front of him, which had already become a mess, and couldn't help but shake his head a little weakly.

To be honest, there is still Zhao Dan, the monarch, who can make up his mind, and the Zhao court has already quarreled like this, and Zhao Dan doesn't even dare to imagine what it will be like for the parliamentarians who are divided into many parties in the Western parliament in later generations to quarrel without a strong leader.

After thinking for a long time, Zhao Dan set his eyes on Lian Po, who had been sitting on the side and did not speak, and asked, "Wu Xinjun, in your opinion, is this battle to be fought or not?" ”

Lian Po hurried back to participate in this great court meeting, and the main force of Zhao State was actually still in Shangdang County at the moment, led by the deputy general Le Cheng, and slowly marched eastward.

In any case, Lian Po is also the most capable general in Zhao now, and even the most famous general in the entire Chinese world today, and he is also the most capable of fighting in Zhao State.

Listen to the opinions of such professionals, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.

Lian Po looked obviously prepared, and after hearing Zhao Dan's words, he immediately stood up, saluted Zhao Dan, and then spoke.

"The king, in the opinion of the ministers, it is okay to fight this battle, and it is okay not to fight."
