———— the following text————

As the time slowly entered February, Li Ji, the son of Fengyang Jun Li Dui, arrived in Hedong County with his second son Li Ke, and then prepared to cross the river from Hedong County to Yin Jin.

But when they passed through Fengling, Li Ji, Li Ke and his son saw that the Wei army in Fengling was extremely well defended, as if there was an atmosphere of war enveloping this city.

Seeing this, Li Ke, who was only fifteen or sixteen years old, asked his father in confusion: "Father, is the five-nation alliance alliance of my Zhao State still at war with the Qin State this time?" ”

Li Ji shook his head inexplicably.

He received a letter from his father Li Dui some time ago, and Li Dui asked him to bring his second son Li Ke to Yin Jin immediately, so that Li Dui could immediately introduce his grandson to Wei Ran, the minister of Qin, so that Li Ke could find a position in Qin.

According to Li Dui's letter at that time, Li Ji thought that the war of the 'Five Kingdoms against Qin' had ended.

After thinking about it, Li Dui said to his son: "I don't know if I am a father, maybe something has happened in it, and it will inevitably cause trouble, you and I will go straight to see your grandfather first." ”

Li Ke naturally did not object, and nodded in approval.

In view of the fact that Li Ji is the son of Li Dui, Fengyangjun of Zhao State, although Fenglingdu has been completely martial law at this moment, Fei Hui, the Wei general stationed there, still sent a boat to send Li Ji and Li Ke father and son to the Yin and Jin regions on the other side of the river, and informed Fengyangjun Li Dui of his whereabouts.

After learning the news of his father's location, Li Ji did not dare to stop, and Li Ke took his son to the Zhao military camp nearly thirty miles south of Yinjin City.

Knowing that his son and grandson had finally come to the army, Li Dui was naturally happy, although he did not go out of the camp to greet him, but he also waited outside the tent, waiting for his children and grandchildren with a smile.

Thinking about it, for a person of Li Dui's age, in addition to a good reputation, I'm afraid he is more just thinking about his children and grandchildren.

"Grandfather."

Seeing his grandfather Li Dui standing outside the handsome tent in the barracks from a distance, Li Ke hurriedly walked a few steps forward and saluted his grandfather: "My grandson has seen my grandfather." ”

"Hahahaha, good, good." Li Dui said yes repeatedly, touched his grandson's head dotingly, and praised a few words such as 'grown up again' with a smile.

At this time, Li Ji had already stepped forward and saluted his father respectfully: "Father." ”

Behind him, the entourage of the father and son paid homage to Fengyangjun one after another.

For his son Li Ji, Li Dui naturally will not be as spoiled as his grandson, and after nodding, he shushed his grandson for a while, and asked Li Ke if he was tired on the way, but he had eaten and slept well, and the Zhao pawns who saw it from the side laughed secretly in their hearts: This is really 'son is not as good as grandchild'.

After a while, Li Dui led his children and grandchildren into the tent, and after learning that Li Ji and Li Ke had not rested in Fenglingdu because they were in a hurry to see him, he immediately ordered the guards around him to prepare a meal.

During this period, Li Ji asked Li Jidao: "Father, when Ke'er and I passed through Fengling, Fei Hui, who was stationed in Fengling, was actively preparing for war, but I don't know why?" Didn't my father say in the letter that the war between the coalition forces and the Qin State was over? ”

Hearing his son's confusion, Li Dui stroked his beard and explained: "Originally, the war between the coalition forces and the Qin State has indeed ended, and the only dispute is that Meng Zhong and Storm Kite put forward a harsh request to the Qin State to cede land, and the Qin State is not willing to accept it, but you also know this kind of thing, as long as both sides don't want to continue fighting, the two sides will eventually compromise with each other, but the bad thing is that Zhai Zhang came to Yin Jin to convey the order of the King of Wei, and asked Meng Zhong to replace Gongsun Zhi as the ...... of Hedong."

“……”

Li Ji was stunned, and said with a little surprise: "Father means that this matter has stimulated the Qin State?" ”

"What do you think?"

Li Dui glanced at his son, and said with a sneer: "Meng Zhong, this kid is more fierce than Gongsun Xi and Pang Juan in the past, the army of the Qin State has not been able to bargain for anything in the hands of Meng Zhong so far, on the contrary, it has been defeated by Meng Zhong many times with clever tricks...... This time, in order to force the Qin state to cede the West River, the king of Wei threatened the Qin state by appointing Meng Zhong as the defender of the east of the river, which had touched the bottom line of the Qin state. ”

"Qin Guo is so jealous of Meng Zhong? I couldn't ...... think of it."

Surprised, Li Ji couldn't help but think of the past.

In his memory, his deepest impression of Meng Zhong is still stuck in the day when Meng Zhong humiliated Tian Wen with 500 Xinwei soldiers, Meng Zhong at that time was just the guard Sima next to Zhao's father, and there were only 500 Xinwei soldiers under his command, but because of Tian Wen's relationship, Meng Zhong and his 500 Xinwei soldiers were able to become famous in Handan for the first time, and became the talk of Handan people after dinner.

At that time, the Xinwei Army was also jokingly called 'Zhao Wushu' by some good deeds.

Eight or nine years have passed in a blink of an eye, and the young man who was appointed by Lord Zhao's father as the guard Sima at the age of fifteen is now the Yuncheng Jun of Wei, with 50,000 troops in his hands, and now he is even more feared by the Qin State because he is preparing to take over the post of Hedong Shou.

Li Ji still remembers that after the change of the Dune Palace, Meng Zhong was forced to flee back to the Song Kingdom, and the attendants around Zhao's father at that time were scattered one after another, and it was at that time that a news came out that Zhao's father originally wanted to vigorously cultivate Meng Zhong and appoint Meng Zhong as a Jinyang Shou when he grew up.

Regarding this news, the nobles of Zhao who supported Zhao Cheng and Li Dui at that time did not think so, and even laughed at the authenticity of the news, but Li Ji remembered that his father Li Dui did not make fun of it at that time.

And in recent years, Meng Zhong's strength in the Wei State is like a slap in the face of those people......

After thinking about it, Li Ji asked Li Dui: "Father, if the Qin State and the Wei and Han countries continue this war, which side do you think has a better chance of winning?" ”

"I can't eat it for my father."

Li Ji stroked his beard and shook his head and said: "Although the Qin State has broken its muscles and bones against our five-nation alliance this time, and has lost tens of thousands of soldiers before and after, but in the final analysis, the foundation of the Qin State is still there, even if the armies of Wei and Han are commanded by Meng Zhong, they may not be able to easily defeat the Qin State in a short period of time...... But on the other hand, it was not easy for Qin to defeat Meng Zhong. According to my father's guess, I am afraid that this battle will be lost by both sides......"

"That ......" Li Ji's heart moved slightly, and he looked at Li Du with a bit of expectation.

Of course, Li Dui could guess his son's thoughts, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that if the Qin State and the Wei State are both defeated, I, the Zhao State, may take this opportunity to replace the two positions?" Speaking of this, he shook his head and said with a little regret: "The idea is good, but you don't want to underestimate Wei Ran and Meng Zhong." …… These two people are not good people, and they are both calm, such as Wei Ran, obviously the Qin State has been actively preparing for war in the past two months, and even made a move to transfer troops to Linjin to threaten Hedong County, but Wei Ran still dares to stay in Yin Jin and continue to negotiate with Meng Zhong, Gongsun Zhu, and Zhai Zhang, this courage is really admirable! …… And Meng Zhong's kid was not bad, he asked Gongsun Zhu and Zhai Zhang to continue to negotiate with Wei Ran as if nothing had happened, and at the same time ordered the cavalry of the city under his command to harass in the West River, trying to attack the grain route of the Qin army......"

As he spoke, he briefly told Li Ji about the recent confrontation between the Qin army and the Wei and Han armies, and Li Ji, who only listened, broke out in a cold sweat - isn't this on the verge of officially starting out?

"The old man thinks it's almost over."

After thinking for a while, Li Dui stroked his beard and said: "By March at the latest, one of the Qin States and Meng Zhong will definitely have one side that can't help but make the first move, and once one side takes the lead, then this war will break out immediately, from Hedong County of Wei State to Xihe County of Qin State, from Yin Jin to Zheng County, and even Xianyang, the capital of Qin State, this land of hundreds of miles or even thousands of miles will be completely reduced to a battlefield where the Qin army and the Wei and Han armies are fighting......

Li Ji was shocked when he heard this: "That...... Isn't it dangerous for my father to stay here? Father, the Qin State and the Wei and Han armies were at war, and it had nothing to do with my Zhao State, why did my father delay in withdrawing his troops and returning to China? ”

"Returning home? Then I'll have to ask Meng Zhong and Storm Kite to allow me to leave."

Thinking of this, Li Dui felt a little helpless in his heart.

As Li Ji said, Li Dui didn't want to intervene in the war between the Qin State and the Wei and Han armies at all, but the problem was that Meng Zhong and Storm Kite refused to let him go - on the surface, Meng Zhong said that he Li Dui was the commander of the coalition army, and now that the negotiations between the Wei and Han armies and the Qin State broke down, he, Li Dui, as the commander of the coalition army, should stay to persuade peace; In private, although the Wei army has so far been willing to provide grain and grass to the Zhao, Qi, and Yan armies, they refused to provide enough grain and grass for the three armies to return to Zhao or their respective countries.

It was these two soft moves, one bright and one dark, that made the three armies of Zhao, Qi, and Yan nailed to death by Meng Zhong in the Yin and Jin areas, and they could not get out of the matter.

What's even more hateful is that Meng Zhong also tried to draw him Zhao, Qi, and Yan into attacking Qin together in the name of 'the Five Nations Alliance'.

What is the situation on the side of the two armies of Qi and Yan, Li Dui has no intention of paying attention, at least on his Zhao army's side, there are really some fools who have been moved by Meng Zhong's so-called 'advancing and retreating together' proposition, such as Lian Po, who took the initiative to ask for help several times a while ago, hoping to be the vanguard general who attacked the Qin State, and the angry Li Dui scolded this favorite general fiercely.

Help Wei attack Qin? Once Wei defeats Qin, won't he be the next unlucky Zhao!

Don't forget, Wei had a precedent of trying to forcibly merge the Three Jin Dynasty in war, but on those two occasions, the Wei general Pang Juan, who was in charge of this matter, failed in the end.

And now the threat of Meng Zhong is still above Pang Juan!

Let's wait and see what happens, and when Wei and Han are officially at war with Qin, and the fighting is fierce, then forcibly withdraw their troops and return to Zhao, this is Li Dui's current decision.

As for Qin and Wei and Han, he preferred to see who would win and who would lose, but in fact, Li Dui couldn't make up his mind in his heart.

The reason is very simple, if Qin wins, Qin may be able to annex Wei and Han in a short period of time, and then set foot in the Central Plains, posing a threat to his Zhao state; And if Qin is defeated, Wei will be able to divide some of the energy that was once used against Qin and try to restore its former position as the overlord of the Central Plains, which will also pose a threat to Zhao.

And the most frustrating thing is that no matter what he Zhao does, he can't avoid being a direct enemy of one of them in the future - either the Qin state, which annexed a large part of the territory of Wei Han, or the Wei state, which defeated the Qin state.

Based on this, in fact, Li Dui is inclined to persuade peace in his heart and maintain the current balance between Qin and Wei and Han, but the problem is that Wei Ran and Meng Zhong don't listen to him: Wei Ran's request is that Wei cancel Meng Zhong's post as the Hedong Shou, no matter how much Meng Zhong is sent there, as long as he is not at the door of his Qin State; Meng Zhong's request was that Qin cede nearly 200 li of land in Xihe County in an attempt to delay the process of Qin's invasion of the Central Plains.

All in all, the two sides still couldn't negotiate in the end, so they finally decided to meet by force - first fight!

On February 28, the Qin army, which had been transferred to Linjin, suddenly launched an offensive against Puban, which was across the river, and the Wei general Liang Xi, who was stationed in Puban, led the army to defend it strictly, and finally repelled this Qin army with the help of the great river and natural hazards.

Only half a day later, the news that the Qin army was trying to force a force across the river to attack Puban was sent by Wei to Yinjin City.

After learning of this, Meng Zhong immediately issued an order to the three generals Dou Xing, Wei Qing, and Le Jin stationed in Zheng County, ordering Le Jin to force Liyi, posing as a posture of wanting to attack Liyi and threatening Xianyang, and ordered Dou Xing to lead the army to try to cross Weishui from the Zheng County section, and the troops pointed directly at the hub city of Xihe County of Qin, Liyang.

During this period, Meng Zhong ordered Huahu to lead 2,000 square city cavalry to assist Dou Xing.

As for the Yin and Jin side, Meng Zhong left the violent kite to guard the Yin and Jin and led the Wei and Han armies to try to cross the Weishui to attack Dali, which was obviously to cut off the retreat of the Qin army in Linjin, and cooperate with Liang Xi, Fei Hui and others in Hedong to launch a front and rear attack on the Qin army in Linjin.

In the face of Meng Zhong's full-front attack, Qin's response was also very fast, Xianyang immediately ordered Sima Cuo to defend Liyi, block Wei general Lejin, and transfer Bai Qi to Liyang to ensure that Liyang would not fall into the hands of the Wei and Han coalition forces - after all, Liyang fell, and the cities of Xihe County such as Dali and Linjin would be divided and isolated by Meng Zhong, and the Wei army in Hedong would be able to attack Xihe in a big way, which directly led to the forced contraction of Qin's front.

It is even possible to bury the tens of thousands of Qin troops who were transferred to Linjin.

In addition to Bai Qi being transferred to Liyang, in order to ensure that Liyang would not be broken by Meng Zhong, Huayang Jun Mi Rong moved his army to the north bank of the lower reaches of Weishui, and at the same time contained the two Wei and Han coalition armies of Zheng County and Yin and Jin - that is, the two led by Dou Xing and Meng Zhong respectively, to prevent these two Wei and Han armies from breaking into Xihe County.

However, just as Xihe County was about to open the curtain of a big war, and just when the attention of the whole world was on the side of Xihe County, in the far east, King Qi Tiandi learned that the war of the Five Kingdoms against Qin was in full swing, and he thought that other countries had no time to take care of him Qi State, so he brazenly sent hundreds of thousands of troops and launched a third attack to try to annex the Song State......
