In the eleventh year of the reign of King Wei of Wei, the state of Qin had been able to annex Yiqu, so the king of Qin and the king of Chu Xiong Heng met again in Yu Sui, and then met with Zhao Wang He again in Zhongyang to negotiate the plan of sending troops to fight the 'Wei, Song and Han Triple Alliance'.

After learning of this, Qu Yuan united with Zhao Ju and Zhuang Xin to resist, but in the end he still couldn't fight Ling Yin Zilan, who controlled the national government, and under the persuasion of Zilan, Xiong Heng, the king of Chu, once again stood on the side of Qin.

In the twelfth year of the reign of King Wei of Wei, Qin discussed the ownership of Hangu Pass with Korea several times but could not get it, so he sent General Bai Qi to lead troops out of Yin and Jin with Wang Di, Hu Yang, Ying Yi and other generals to attack Korea and occupy Hangu Pass, on the grounds that Hangu Pass was the face of Qin and could not be faked.

Qin general Bai Qi knew that once he attacked Korea, Meng Zhong would immediately bring troops to help, so in this war, Bai Qi ordered to recapture Hangu Pass at all costs - after all, Hangu Pass is one of the two routes to send troops to Korea, Hangu Pass was occupied by Korea, and Qin was equivalent to abandoning an arm in attacking Korea, so Hangu Pass must be recovered.

Under Bai Qi's strict orders, the Qin army paid a great price, and finally broke through the Hangu Pass, and the Han army retreated to Yiyang.

Sure enough, Meng Zhong was training 200,000 troops of the Three Kingdoms Alliance in Yingyang and Yingyin at this time, and immediately sent 100,000 troops to Yiyang, South Korea.

But what's interesting is that Qin Guo has a clear purpose this time, after Bai Qi captured Hangu Pass, he did not take advantage of the victory to pursue and attack Yiyang - maybe he felt that even if he defeated Yiyang, he might not be able to hold it, so he simply held Hangu Pass and couldn't get out.

Seeing this, Meng Zhong then used Yiyang as a base to launch a crusade against Qin.

In view of Meng Zhong's special status as the Grand Sima of the Wei, Song and Han Kingdoms, he was fully responsible for the war against the Qin State, and his authority was extremely great.

He ordered Wei generals Gongsun Zhu, Wei Qing, Dou Xing, and Jin Cong to launch an attack from Xihe County, and ordered Han generals Han Zu, Han Xiao and others to attack Wuguan, plus himself in Yiyang, to launch a three-way crusade against Qin.

In order to share the pressure, Qin asked Chu to crusade against Wei's Fangcheng, and Zhao to crusade against Wei's Yecheng, but unfortunately, Chu's general Zhaoju was quickly defeated by Fangcheng Ling in the land of Wanfang, but it was Zhao's Lian Po, Han Xu and others who posed a certain threat to Yecheng defended by Wei's general Tang Zhi.

However, when Yecheng was attacked, Daliang did not panic, and did not have the slightest intention of transferring Meng Zhong to return, but directly transferred troops from China to support Yecheng.

Two months later, the Song State also sent an army of 30,000 troops led by Sima Mengzhi to support Yecheng.

At that time, Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, asked Lian Po: "Can Lian Sima capture Yecheng?" ”

Lian Po nodded and said: "Before the Song army supports Yecheng, I can capture Yecheng; After the Song army came to help, I could too. …… But I didn't dare to go down to Yecheng. ”

Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng nodded in understanding.

You must know that at this time, even in the case that Zhao has made it clear that he will unite with Qin, Meng Zhong, who is also the great Sima of the three kingdoms of Wei, Song and Han, still advocates 'joining Zhao to resist Qin', in view of Meng Zhong's special status, Wei Wangjun listened to Meng Zhong's suggestion, but this does not mean that Wei will allow Zhao's invasion - if it is just like now, Zhao's army is purely in Yecheng to respond to Qin, Wei may not care, but once Zhao captures Wei's Yecheng, I am afraid that Wei will immediately retaliate.

At that time, I am afraid that even Meng Zhong will not be able to withstand the opposition in Wei, so he can only lead an army to crusade against Zhao.

And facing Meng Zhong and his 200,000 standing Three Kingdoms coalition troops, neither Lian Po nor Han Xu had this confidence.

Even Zhao Hao, who advocated that 'Zhao must be firm in its path of progress and must not be at the mercy of other countries', also suggested at this time that it was not appropriate to provoke Wei too early—before he Zhao sent someone to invite Pang Xuan back, Zhao Hao thought it was not appropriate to tear his face with Wei.

In view of the fact that Zhao and Chu did not contribute to the work, the Qin State once again fought alone, and the above general Bai Qi faced the Wei general Meng Zhong at Hangu Pass.

These two are really old acquaintances, they know each other, they know each other's skills, although Meng Zhong has taken advantage of them many times in the past, but this time Bai Qixue is obedient, after recovering Hangu Pass, he is stunned and no longer fights, and on the side of Menshui, he also asked Wang Yi to take strict precautions to prevent Meng Zhong from repeating his old tricks.

At this time, the Yiyang Order was Gong Zhong's extravagance, and seeing that Bai Qi could not pass the pass, he said to Meng Zhong: "It seems that the purpose of the Qin State this time is to recapture Hangu Pass and facilitate the use of troops against the Central Plains in the future. …… If you can't recapture this level, I'm afraid there will be more trouble in the future. ”

Hearing this, Meng Zhong smiled and looked at Gong Zhong Luxury, and saw that Gong Zhong Hao was a little annoyed and angry, and the latter said angrily: "I am for the Han people, how can I blame for the Han people?" ”

"Good, good."

After appeasing the Emperor Zhong, Meng Zhong ordered the army to build siege equipment.

In view of the fact that there are more than 200,000 or nearly 300,000 troops in Yiyang, Meng Zhong is not in a hurry, and it took two months to build hundreds of stone-throwing vehicles, and then with these stone-throwing vehicles, he bombarded Hangu Pass indiscriminately, and he couldn't help but feel a little hairy when he smashed the ground.

So Bai Qi sent someone to Meng Zhong: "Even if you build more stone-throwing cars, don't think about taking Hangu Pass from me again!" ”

Meng Zhong also sent someone to reply to Bai Qi: "I know, I'm just smashing and playing...... Anyway, Hangu Pass was made by you Qin, and I don't feel sorry if it is smashed. ”

I'm so angry.

But there was no way, the 200,000 combined army of Mengzhong, coupled with the tens of thousands of troops of Yiyang Linggongzhong, the other party was outnumbered, and Bai Qi could only carefully guard the Hangu Pass and recruit prisoners from the country to repair the pass.

And Meng Zhong was just like what he said, he was not in a hurry to recapture Hangu Pass at all, and every once in a while he let the 200,000 army with hundreds of stone-throwing carts go to Hangu Pass for a burst of indiscriminate bombardment, and after throwing all the stone bombs, he withdrew his troops, and simply saved the attack.

The coalition army smashed it, and the Qin people repaired it, which lasted for more than half a year, and Bai Qiqiang endured it without having a seizure.

He said to his subordinates: "The 200,000 troops of Mengzhong are here, and I don't believe that Korea will support the land!" ”

It turned out that he had been waiting for the moment when the grain and grass of the army under Meng Zhong ran out, but unfortunately, Meng Zhong had already thought of this, and at the moment when the 200,000 troops arrived in Yiyang and learned that Bai Qi could not defend it, Meng Zhong had ordered the whole army to plant grain in Yiyang Tuntian, plant grain in spring and harvest in autumn, and plant a handful of beans in winter - Meng Zhong relieved the embarrassment of South Korea to support his 200,000 troops in this way, and even when the autumn harvest came, the military tuntian around Yiyang could also feed back to Yiyang City.

After learning about this, Bai Qi was simply stunned.

The 200,000 army ate in Yiyang for a year, and by the end of the year, there was actually more military food than before? Can you not do this?

Depressed, Bai Qi immediately informed Xianyang of the matter.

After careful consideration, the Marquis Wei Ran suddenly made a shocking decision: he asked the king of Qin, Yingji, to ask for peace with Wei, and sent the crown prince to Wei as a proton.

The State of Qin sent the crown prince to the State of Wei as a proton?

After learning the news, Wei Wangjun was very surprised, you must know that in contemporary times, although it is a very common thing for countries to exchange protons, no, a while ago, Qin also sent An Guojun Yingzhu to Zhao as a proton, but the problem is, although it is also the son of the king, but the prince is a minister, and the prince is the prince, unless it is forced to be helpless, how can countries let their princes go to other countries as protons?

"Qin State...... Is this going to exchange the prince for Hangu Pass? ”

Wei Wang Yun was also confused, thought about it, and asked Duan Ganchong to take Prince Qin to Korea.

After all, Hangu Pass, which was recovered by the Qin State, was previously the territory of Korea, so it was up to Korea to decide the ownership of the Qin prince - this was exactly what Meng Zhong had suggested to Wei Wangjun at the beginning, that is, to protect the face and interests of the allies.

I have to say that Wang Wei sent someone to send the prince of Qin to Xinzheng, and Wang Ji of Han was still very happy, after all, it meant that Wang Wei respected him, but how to settle this prince of Qin was really a headache.

Considering that Meng Zhong was also the great Sima of his country, Han Wang Ji asked Storm Kite to go to Yiyang for several days to discuss the matter with Meng Zhong.

After discussing, Meng Zhong said to Storm Kite: "Actually, I also feel quite strange about the matter of Qin State's peace sue this time, maybe there is some trick in it...... As for Prince Qin, I don't think he can exchange Hangu Pass, to put it mildly, who would dare to really kill this Prince Qin? Isn't that hated to death by the Qin people? ”

At this time, Gong Zhong said on the side: "Anyway, there is Bai Qi in Hangu Pass, and we won't be able to recapture it for a while, so it's better to accept Qin's request for peace first and see what Qin wants to do." ”

After returning to the storm, he informed Han Wang Ji of Meng Zhong and Gong Zhong, and Han Wang Ji thought deeply about it and decided to agree to Qin's request for peace - anyway, with Meng Zhong's 200,000 combined army in Yiyang, he was not afraid of what Qin State would do to him next.

As for the crown prince of Qin himself, under the advice of the minister of state, Gong Zhongmin, the king of Han still returned the Wei state, on the grounds that the Wei state is the leader of the alliance and should 'hold' the prince of the Qin state of another country.

To put it bluntly, South Korea also doesn't want to provoke Qin too much.

Han Wangjiao's thoughts naturally can't be concealed from Wei Wangfu, who is also the monarch of a country, but Wei Wangfu doesn't care, after all, South Korea may still be a little afraid of Qin, but he Wei is not afraid - how many soldiers does Qin have and how many generals? Isn't it that Meng Zhong blocked Hangu Pass and didn't dare to come out for a single step?

Therefore, the prince of Wei placed the prince of Qin in Daliang, and according to Meng Zhong's suggestion, he wanted to see what the Qin state wanted to do.

After all, Qin sent the crown prince to Wei as a proton, and in a sense, it was also equivalent to submitting to Wei - although with Qin's strength, there was no need to do so.

The prince of Qin went to Wei as a proton, and the two countries of Qin and Wei reconciled again, but Meng Zhong and the 200,000 combined army under his command simply stationed in Yiyang and did not leave, and from time to time ran to Hangu Pass to provoke them.

Subsequently, Zhao also learned of this, and although he did not understand Qin's actions, he immediately withdrew his troops from Yecheng.

In this way, the Central Plains returned to calm again.

About two months later, a rumor spread in Yecheng.

Yecheng ordered Tang Zhi to also bow to the beam, saying that there seemed to be someone in the city who could instigate the people's hearts and instigate hatred for the Zhao people.

Tang Zhi believes that it may be the spy of the Qin people.

Minister Tian Wen suddenly realized: "I understand, Qin State intends to let my Wei State free up his hands to retaliate against Zhao State this time, he hopes to completely destroy the relationship between Wei and Zhao, and make Zhao State stand more firmly on Qin's side." ”

Wei Wang Yan thought so, and sneered when he heard this: "Do the Qin people think that the widow will be tricked? ”

Afterwards, he immediately sent the former great Sima Zhai Zhang to pacify Yecheng on his behalf, to comfort the soldiers and city residents who died during the Zhao State's attack on Yecheng, and at the same time ordered Tang Zhi to arrest the Qin State spies in Yecheng City.

A month later, Meng Zhong also learned about what had happened in Yecheng, and also made the same judgment as Tian Wen, that is, this was a plan of discord by the Qin State.

In the case of Meng Zhong and Tian Wen's consistent attitude, Wei Wangjun naturally did not hesitate at all, as if to deliberately embarrass the Qin State, half a month later, the Minister of State Tian Wen sent an envoy to Zhao State again, and pointed out Zhao Wang He Dao: "Today, some people in Yecheng City in our country instigated public opinion, so that the Wei people in Yecheng hated Zhao State, who does King Zhao think this did?" ”

Zhao Wang He is not stupid, how can he not hear it?

After ordering the king of Zhao, Tian Wen said the purpose of his visit: "This time Tian came to Zhao in the name of the king of our country, and wanted to marry the princess to the brother of King Zhao, Pingyuanjun. ”

After Tian Wen left, Zhao Wang He immediately summoned Zhao Hao, Han Xu, and Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng to discuss.

At that time, Zhao Wang He said to the three of them: "Today, Tian Wen came to Handan to inform the widow that there are spies of the Qin State in Yecheng to instigate public opinion, and want to provoke the Wei State to crusade against my Zhao State, but the King of Wei was unmoved and wanted to marry the princess to Zhao Sheng......"

Zhao Sheng's eyes widened in surprise.

Everyone smiled, and immediately, Zhao Hao said: "I hoped to use the power of Qin to weaken Wei, so I formed an alliance with it, but I didn't expect that Qin would regard my Zhao State as a sacrifice, and I thought that the king really needed to make another plan." ”

"Hmm."

Zhao Wang He frowned and nodded, of course he knew that the Qin State was as unreliable as the Qi State, but the problem was that he didn't want to surrender to the Wei State.

At this time, Han Xu suggested: "Since the Qin State regards my Zhao State as a sacrifice, and the Wei State wants to win over my Zhao State, why don't you take the opportunity to keep my Zhao State neutral?" …… Chen believes that since the alliance with Wei is not conducive to the future, and the alliance with Qin is not credible, it is better to strengthen diplomatic relations with Yan, today's Yan State, the national minister of the drama Xin, the king of Chang Guo Le Yi, are all wise people, and I have some roots in the Zhao country, the king is better to remove Fengyang Jun, make Pingyuan Jun the prime minister, please Pingyuan Jun in the name of Zhao Xiang to envoy Zhao State, I believe that you will be able to get the goodwill of Ju Xin and Le Yi. …… Of course, the ministers were still more supportive of Pingyuan Jun's marriage to the daughter of the Wei king, after all, it was more conducive to dealing with the Wei State. ”

King Zhao He nodded thoughtfully, and immediately turned his head to look at his younger brother Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng.

At this time, Zhao Sheng had also come back to his senses, and said with a smile when he heard the words: "The King of Wei wants to marry the princess to me, how can I, Zhao Guo, retreat?" Brother Wang, the younger brother is willing to marry the daughter of the prince of Wei as his wife. ”

In view of Zhao Sheng's own consent, Zhao Wanghe immediately sent Feiyou and Zhao Sheng to Daliang and accepted Wei Wangyun's kindness in person.

When Wei Wangjun saw Zhao Sheng in person, he was also happy in his heart, and called out his daughter to meet Zhao Sheng, and made an appointment with Fei You.

The intermarriage between Wei and Zhao diluted the hatred of the Wei people in Yecheng towards Zhao, and even if there were still Qin spies stirring up trouble in Yecheng, they could not shake the situation.

After learning the news, Marquis Wei Ran was furious, he originally wanted to separate Wei and Zhao again, but he didn't expect Wei and Zhao to get married, and in anger, he immediately sent someone to Zhao to try to get Zhao to end the marriage.

With the support of Zhao Ben, Zhao Xi, Zhao Yuan, Zhao Hao, Han Xu and other courtiers, He Yanci, the king of Zhao, refused Qin's rude demands.

At the beginning of the fourteenth year of the reign of King Wei of Wei, Qin sent troops to attack Zhao and seize the land of Lin.

The Qin-Zhao alliance broke down.
