Xianyang actively prepared for war, and even through the influence of the King of Yiqu, he tried to draw the warriors of the Yiqu Kingdom into his Qin camp to fight against the threat of the coalition invasion.

Speaking of which, since the battle between Qin and Chu that year, the Qin State has never been forced into this situation.

Compared with the current defeat of the Qin State, in fact, the current situation of the Five Nations Alliance is not good, after all, it has advanced more than 200 miles in one breath and advanced the battle line from Taolin all the way to the Yinjin area, which is indeed a great challenge for the logistics and transportation capabilities of the coalition army, so it is not surprising that it has fallen into the precipitous situation of insufficient supply of grain and grass.

Of course, the lack of supply of grain and grass mentioned here does not mean that the coalition forces are currently on the verge of running out of grain, but that the grain and grass in the coalition army are constantly decreasing, even if the troops supervising the transportation of grain and grass in the rear are actually constantly transporting grain and grass to this side.

As of the 10th day of September, the grain and grass reserves in the coalition army could only last for about a month - of course, in the case of continuous grain and grass deliveries, the actual number of days that could be maintained was more than estimated, but in general, given that the coalition forces were currently unable to make ends meet, at most two months, the coalition forces would sooner or later fall into the dilemma of running out of food.

Especially considering that it is already autumn and winter will begin in two months, if more food cannot be stocked up in advance, it is unlikely that these more than 200,000 allied troops will die of hunger and cold in winter.

Could it be that no one in the coalition forces saw such a serious problem?

Of course not!

In fact, at the beginning of September, when the coalition forces occupied Baigu without much effort, Meng Zhong privately consulted with the storm kite: "It seems that the Qin army intends to shrink the defensive line, and they continue to take the initiative to abandon the city and lure us deep into the Qin state, on the one hand, it is to cope with the embarrassment of the lack of food and grass supply, and on the other hand, it is not to lure the enemy into the ...... If our side continues to advance, our army's grain transportation route will also be extended, and if it is cut off by Qin's army a day later, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

Storm Kite nodded, and there was no surprise on his face at the point made by Meng Zhong.

Think about it, how can you not even see this thing in your life?

It's just that he is unwilling to give up this great opportunity to hit the Qin State hard.

He said to Meng Zhong at the time: "My brother is right, but this is a great opportunity to hit the Qin State hard. …… In recent decades, Qin's ambition to try to set foot in the Central Plains is clear, for this reason, Qin frequently swallowed the land of our Han and Wei, Wei's Hexi, Xihe, and China's three rivers have been occupied by Qin one after another, although Kuang Zhang once led the army of Qi to defeat Qin, but my brother also knows that it is an external force after all, and Qi will not always help my Han and Wei. If you want to stop Qin's eastward advance, it depends on the ...... of Han and Wei themselves."

"That being said, it's still too dangerous......"

Meng Zhong said with a frown.

He knew what the storm kite meant.

With the current national strength of Wei and Han, it is already quite difficult to organize a coalition army like the one in the Battle of Yique back then, and more importantly, in view of the vigilance and vigilance of Zhao and Qi, even if Wei and Han have the ability to organize hundreds of thousands of troops to crusade against Qin, they may not dare to do this - after all, they must prevent Zhao and Qi from being stabbed in the back.

The countries of the Central Plains could not unite as one, and they took advantage of each other's weakness and fell into the ground, which was the biggest obstacle for Wei and Han to crusade against Qin.

But this time it was different, this time the five kingdoms of Wei, Zhao, Han, Qi, and Yan sent troops together to attack Qin, and to a certain extent, this could also prevent Zhao and Qi from making small moves.

In addition, the Storm Kite hopes to let the countries of the Central Plains share the losses caused by the crusade against the Qin State - the five countries share the losses caused by the war, which is definitely more beneficial than the war losses borne by Wei and Han.

Storm Kite's idea was that instead of hoping that he and Wei and Han would take great risks in the future and organize hundreds of thousands of troops to crusade against Qin again, it would be better to seize this opportunity and use the alliance of the Five Nations to severely damage Qin.

And once this is done, he and South Korea can get huge benefits.

Of course, the most advantageous one is naturally South Korea, which is next to Qin.

Thinking of this, the violent kite persuaded Meng Zhongdao: "The Qin State wants to set foot in the Central Plains, and the Zhao State is not its direct enemy, but I, Wei and Han have a painful skin...... This time, the Qin State must be hit hard, otherwise when the Qin State recovers, our Wei and Han will inevitably suffer heavy retaliation from the Qin State! Although the elder brother is from the Song Dynasty, as far as the elder brother knows, the King of Wei and Zhai Zhang's Da Sima are both highly valued by the elder brother, and the elder brother should put the interests of the Wei State first. ”

It has to be said that Storm Kite is desperate to convince Meng Zhong to support his claim.

Among the other four generals of the coalition army, the one that Storm Kite hopes to persuade the most and is most sure of is Meng Zhong.

Meng Zhong pondered for a long time, nodded slowly and said to the storm kite: "If you want to continue to conquer the Qin State, you must get the support of Fengyang Jun...... Only when our Sanjin coalition forces advance and retreat together can it be possible to continue this war against Qin. But after all, Li Dui is also a person who leads troops to fight all year round, and he will not fail to see the hidden dangers of our army at present......"

"Then before he reacts, continue to go deep into the Qin State ......"

Meng Zhong frowned when he heard this, and asked, "What about the transportation of grain and grass?" ”

"Don't worry, brother, I will send someone to contact Zheng Cheng and ask the king and the prime minister to send a large number of grain trucks immediately......"

"This ...... Still very reluctantly. ”

"Brother, this opportunity is excellent, you and I must seize it."

Under the persuasion of the tyrant, Meng Zhong was finally convinced.

To be honest, the strategic depth of the Qin State is too wide, so in Meng Zhong's opinion, it is a very dangerous thing to rush into the Qin State, but the violent kite is right, if he does not seize the opportunity to hit the Qin State hard, when the Qin State takes a breath, it will definitely be the first thing for him and Wei and Han to suffer.

Considering the terrible potential of the Qin State, it is best to take this opportunity to directly press the Qin State to death, even if the Qin State cannot be destroyed, it will also cause the Qin State to suffer heavy losses, so that he will not be able to send troops to the east for several years, or even more than ten years, so as to win precious peace time for Wei and Han.

In the next few days, under the tacit understanding of Meng Zhong and Storm Kite, they urged Li Dui, Tian Touch, and Le Yi to march quickly.

At this time, the five generals of the coalition army, Storm Kite and Meng Zhong, had the same attitude, and had been privately communicated, advocating to continue to march into the Qin State, but the attitude of the other three was not like this.

For example, Fengyangjun Li Dui, who represents the interests of Zhao State.

At first, Li Dui saw that Bai Qi and Sima Co had given up Taolin and Baigu, coupled with the bewitchment of a violent kite from the side, which made Li Dui full of confidence in defeating the Qin State.

He felt that this time the Qin State might really be planted, no, he was forced to connect and give up the two cities of Taolin and Baigu, which can be imagined the weakness of the Qin State at the moment.

But as Bai Qi and Sima Cuo abandoned several cities one after another, Li Dui gradually felt that something was wrong.

As Meng Zhong said, during the period of Lord Zhao's father, Li Dui also led troops to fight for Zhao State, how could he see this strategy of luring the enemy into depth?

It's just that there are violent kites bewitching from the side, so that when Li Dui reacted, the coalition army had advanced all the way to the Yin and Jin areas.

At this time, Li Dui finally reacted: in order to defeat his coalition army, the Qin army dug a trap at a huge cost and waited for them to jump; In order to use his five-nation alliance to hit the Qin State hard, Storm Kite and Meng Zhong did not hesitate to take great risks to take the initiative to jump into this trap, and the damnful thing is that these two people jumped by themselves, and they had to pull him Zhao Jun to jump together.

It can't go on like this......

On September 11, when Li Dui sent someone to count the grain and grass of the army, he said secretly in his heart.

Although in the past few days, there have been dozens of grain transport armies in the rear to continuously transport grain and grass to the army, but the grain and grass reserves in the coalition army are still only a month's surplus grain, and because of the large number of soldiers and soldiers in the coalition army, the grain reserves in the army are decreasing sharply.

However, in this case, the storm kite was still agitating him to march against the Qin state.

Those two guys are crazy......

Brushing his beard, Li Dui thought secretly with a headache.

Just like what Storm Kite said, whether it is Li Dui or Zhao State, their belief in fighting against Qin is far less firm than that of Wei and Han, the reason is very simple, because Zhao has not tasted what is called skin pain on the side of Qin, unlike Wei and South Korea, which have been frequently attacked by Qin over the years, and have lost a large amount of land and a large number of troops before and after.

What the?

Last year, Bai Qi crusaded against Zhao State?

That incident was actually an exception, after all, in that war, although Zhao lost tens of thousands of troops, there was no loss of land - maybe Zhao was naïve to think that Qin would not pose a real threat to them for the time being.

Therefore, in this case, Li Dui actually did not want to completely anger the Qin State.

Previously, Qin and Wei put pressure on him Zhao State, hoping that Zhao Wang He would remove him from Li Dui's position as Zhao Xiang - afterwards, the King of Wei promised Gu Mi and other two fiefdoms to his son Li Ji as an apology, and Li Du accepted the gift, so this grudge ended here - but Qin did not have the slightest intention of making amends, so Li Dui wanted to take revenge on Qin.

But it is enough to retaliate against the Qin State and defeat the Hangu Pass of the Qin State, so that it will not hit the capital of the Qin State, right?

Wouldn't that be completely unending with the Qin State?

But the problem now is that both Storm Kite and Meng Zhong advocate continuing to crusade against Qin, as if they really want to hit Xianyang, the capital of Qin, not to mention whether this can be done for the time being, even if it can be done, in fact, Li Dui doesn't want to do this.

The reason is very simple, after all, since the Jin State dominated the Central Plains, the Wei State also dominated the Central Plains for a hundred years, and during this hundred years, the Wei State did not care about the feelings of the Three Jin Dynasty, relying on his strong national strength to attack Zhao and Han.

This situation remained unchanged until the rise of the Qin state in the west, until the Qi state in the east intervened and defeated the Wei state twice.

During this period, the Wei State suffered huge losses, and was frequently annexed by the Qin State, such as the Hexi County established by Wu Qi in the early days of the Wei State, and then the later Xihe County, all of which were occupied by the Qin State one after another.

All in all, it is precisely because it has been suffering huge losses in the war with the Qin State that the Wei State is now so peaceful.

The so-called Wei-Han Alliance, was this also based on the fact that Wei was unable to annex Korea?

To be precise, the current Wei State actually still has the ability to annex Korea, but South Korea will not sit idly by, as long as Wei dares to send troops to South Korea, South Korea will definitely fall to Qin, so Wei does not dare to do this.

If it is said that Wei is so peaceful now because Wei's strength is far inferior to Qin's, and it must rely on its neighbors to fight against Qin, then what if Qin is hit hard this time? Will Wei take this opportunity to threaten him Zhao again?

Don't look at the strength of Wei and Zhao is almost inseparable now, but you must know that Wei has Mengzhong, while Zhao does not.

And every time he sees this Meng Zhong, Li Dui inevitably thinks of one person, that is Pang Juan!

Pang Juan's period as the general of Wei was the time when Wei ushered in a short period of prosperity, when the Wei general Pang Juan led the Wei army to fight in the south and the north, and attacked Zhao and Korea twice.

Pang Juan, there is still a Sun Bin to stop him.

What about today's Mengzhong?

If, after removing the threat of Qin, the King of Wei insisted on ordering Meng Zhong to lead an army to conquer his Zhao State, would anyone in his Zhao State be able to stop Meng Zhong?

Unstoppable!

He Zhao Guo did not have a handsome talent comparable to Meng Zhong.

Except for Bai Qi of the Qin State, Li Zhen has not heard of anyone who can hinder Meng Zhong - and even the Bai Qi of the Qin State has been repeatedly defeated by Meng Zhong.

With this in mind, Li Dui believed that the Qin state should not be dealt a heavy blow.

Wei was harmless to Zhao on the premise that Wei still had a great threat from Qin, and Li Dui allowed Wei to occupy Hangu Pass—it was better to put Meng Zhong here specifically to defend against Qin—but for the sake of Zhao's interests, Li Dui did not allow Qin to be beaten down, even if only briefly.

If the Qin State was defeated for more than ten years and was unable to send troops to attack Wei and Han, so that the Wei State took the opportunity to restore its old strength, such a Wei State would not be a threat to his Zhao State.

Although Meng Zhong also has feelings for Zhao Guo, but for national events, you can't always hope for personal feelings, right?

Considering these points, combined with the current embarrassment faced by his coalition forces, Li Dui believes that the troops should be withdrawn!

However, it is a pity that the two of them have two votes, and he Li Dui only has one vote, if Li Dui does not want this joint attack on Qin to end up in the fragmentation of the coalition army, then he must get more support to force the two to give up the idea of continuing the crusade against Qin.

With this in mind, Li Dui decided to draw Tian Touch and Le Yi to his side.

It is true that Tian Touch and Le Yi, to be precise, the two armies of Qi and Yan are indeed the unstable factors of his coalition army, and instead of trusting these two, Li Dui trusts the two of Storm Kite and Meng Zhong even more - at least, in the matter of confronting the Qin State, the two of Storm Kite and Meng Zhong will not betray him and will not betray the Zhao State, but Qi and Yan can say for sure.

But there is no way at the moment, after all, if they can't stop the Storm Kite and the Storm Kite, these two will have to pull the whole coalition army together to fight the Qin State.

lost, and all of his five-nation coalition forces suffered;

Having won, Wei and South Korea have benefited the most.

No matter how you look at it, this is not a good thing for him Zhao Guo.

On September 13, Fengyang Jun Li Dui summoned four generals from various countries, Storm Kite, Meng Zhong, Tian Touch, and Le Yi, to discuss whether to continue to march against Qin in the camp of the coalition army.

At the same time, in the Great Liang of Wei, Wei Wangjun and State Minister Tian Wen had just received the news that Meng Zhong had sent people day and night, and learned the current location of the allied forces of the various countries.

Yin Jin!

That is, after the founding of the Wei State, the great Sima Wu Qi led the first generation of Wei Wushu to break the Qin army.
