When leaving Gaoyang City, Mingyue's envoys had a lot of armor soldiers, and Zhao Kuo was their leader. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"I heard that when Chang'an Jun went to Qi State, he said a sentence called a weak country has no diplomacy, and now Yan Guo is peaceful, because he is afraid that my Zhao army will threaten his subordinate capital Wuyang, and the army is on the front line, just like a sword against Yan Guo's chest, and he can't relax for a moment, otherwise, Yan Guo will be presumptuous again. Therefore, this time Chang'an Jun entered the Yan peace talks, and the Wu Ben around him must not be missing, and he must not fall into the prestige of our army! ”

After Zhao Hao's words, Zhao Kuo was ordered to go with Chang'an Jun, Zhao Kuo was worried about his father's injury and wanted to take care of him personally, but in the barracks, Zhao Hao erased his father's role, just a general who could not be disobeyed.

Zhao Kuo had to leave with some reluctance, different from the last time he went to Linzi, at that time, he was only happy to be free from his father's shackles, but now, after seeing the real battlefield and his father's general's demeanor, his little young man's self-esteem and pride disappeared.

"The kid must live up to his mission and reach a peace that Ma Fujun can also satisfy!" Mingyue can only promise Zhao Hao like this.

The two didn't know that after they left, Zhao Hao gave another death order to his cronies.

"When the old man left Handan, he promised that this northern expedition, on the day of the division, there will be the glory of death and the shame of life! Although the war is over, we must not relax, if I die, the banner will not fall, and the army will not mourn! Until Chang'anjun completes the peace talks and wins the benefits for our country! ”

A solemn and desolate atmosphere shrouded the center of the army, and everyone had high hopes for Chang'anjun's trip to be able to stick to this front line in the cold winter months. The ordinary soldiers hoped that he would complete the peace talks as soon as possible, so that peace would return to their homeland so that they could disband and return home. The generals hoped that Chang'anjun would be able to cut more cities, so that they would have the opportunity to obtain more land in the newly seized territory.

At this moment, Mingyue and his party had arrived at the city of Yancheng, which was dozens of miles north of Gaoyang.

Yancheng is on the south bank of Yishui, it is one of the five cities handed over by Zhao to Yan in the past, and now with the contraction of the Yan army, it is occupied by the Zhao army, and the border between Yan and Zhao has advanced to Yishui.

When resting in Yancheng for the night, Mingyue was thoughtful, and it was a great blessing to be able to see Zhao Hao on the front line. This made him understand a truth: for him, of course, he thought that everything had to make way for the Battle of Changping four years later, but he must also take into account the will of the military, so he could never cut off a city, otherwise he would definitely be slandered and resented by all sides.

Therefore, getting the five cities of Yan, Gaoyang, Xingtang, Qu Wei, and Spoon Liang, which originally belonged to the hometown of Zhongshan, is the bottom line of the peace talks between Mingyue and Yanguo.

Yan Guo has also already learned the news of Zhao's envoy entering Yan, as the party who asked for peace, he naturally came to greet him in a hurry, and the two sides agreed to meet in Yishui.

……

"The wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man will never return once he is gone......"

The next day, standing on the edge of the rushing water, Mingyue couldn't help but shiver, although it was noon, but the weather was still gloomy, the wind kept blowing from the north, so he felt the chill of the river, and couldn't help but think of this poem in his mind.

It's a pity that Qin Shi Huang has no shadow now, Jing Ke is at most an infant teenager, and it is unknown whether Gao is born or not.

The drumbeat of the Warring States period is about to reach its climax, and it is too early to reach the end.

What is going to get through Yishui today is not Jing Ke, who can only let go in a desperate situation, but Chang'anjun, who is carefully considered and approaching his goal step by step.

They first had to stand on the bank of the river, waiting for the people of Yan to come to contact, Mingyue looked at it, the south bank of Yishui was lonely, probably affected by the war, the people in this area fled, although there was a single cart to transport grain, the efficiency has improved a lot, but Zhao Hao has not less implemented the strategy of "because of the grain to the enemy", what every army must do is to search for food everywhere in the occupied area.

As for the north of Yishui, it is a rammed earth wall that stretches for hundreds of miles, and there is no end in sight, which blocks the sight of Mingyue, so that he can't see the Yan land at a glance, this is the southern Great Wall of Yan - Yishui Great Wall.

Zhao Kuo walked on this battlefield in the past few months, once pursued the enemy army to Yishui, and was very familiar with this area, so he said to Mingyue: "This Great Wall was built fifty years ago, when the Zhongshan Kingdom was strong, and fought with the Yan State many times, taking advantage of the rebellion of the Yan Kingdom, the King of Zhongshan sent troops to seize the southern border of the Yan Kingdom for more than ten years, occupied its territory within a radius of 100 miles, and also plundered many of the Yan Kingdom's property and ritual vessels, so the Yan Kingdom built the Great Wall on the north bank of the Yishui to defend its capital. ”

The Great Wall of this era is not only in the north of Qinyan and Zhao, but almost all of the countries have Great Wall, and Zhao is no exception. Because Handan was too close to Yedi, which was controlled by Wei, Zhao also built the Great Wall on the north bank of Zhangshui to prevent accidents.

However, after visiting this place in person, Mingyue also figured out one thing, that is, why did Yan Guo hurriedly sue for peace after a small defeat, they could completely rely on Yan Guo's cold winter to defeat the Zhao army. However, seeing the dark clouds and the sky that seemed to be snowing at any time, and then thinking of Yanxiadu, which was carefully guarded behind the Great Wall of Yishui, Mingyue suddenly realized.

"The people of the Yan Kingdom are probably afraid that the water will freeze next month, and the Zhao army will be able to attack the Great Wall unimpeded and directly threaten Wuyang, right?"

Just like the description in the poem of later generations, Yuan Jia was hasty, sealed the wolf Juxu, and won the Canghuang Beigu. The Yan army has been like a tiger for a few months, but now it has been defeated repeatedly, I knew it was like this, why bother in the first place? If in history, the Yan State and the Qi State can still fight five or five times, against the Zhao State, the Yan State is basically defeated......

The military reform of King Wuling of Zhao is still effective, and at present, although the Zhao army is a little difficult to compete with the Qin army, it can basically win more with less against the other five countries. This is also one of the reasons why Mingyue felt that Zhao still had a glimmer of hope, did not give up hope, and simply surrendered to Qin......

Thinking of this, Mingyue couldn't help but feel amused at the war of Yan Kingdom, and asked Zhao Kuo instead: "Brother Kuo, do you think, why did Yan Kingdom go to war with Zhao State?" ”

"Didn't it happen because of Chang'anjun's assassination?" Although Zhao Kuo devotes his energy to strategy and tactics, he has little interest in the causes of a war, and as a general, he does not need to think about how the war was fought, he only needs to find ways to end the war! In a winning way!

Mingyue said with a smile: "My assassination was just a scoop of oil poured on Yan Zhao's already bad relationship to make the fire more intense, long before the assassination, the Yan army had invaded the border." ”

"Is that because Yan Guo is greedy for my territory and does not declare war?"

"Not exactly."

Mingyue said: "After having a deep talk with Ma Fujun the day before yesterday, I know a little more about the internal situation of Yan Kingdom, it turns out that King Yan is the son of King Yan Zhao, but he is not the orthodox successor, but after King Yan Hui was killed, he was supported by Gongsun Cao, the minister of the king, and he succeeded to the throne for several years, and the territory has not grown in size, and the people's livelihood in the country has not improved. In order to maintain his prestige, this King of Yan made people feel that he was doing better than King Yan Hui, and urgently needed to expand his territory, and it happened that Zhao Guo was mourned, and was invaded by Qin, and at the same time came the news that Zhao Qi was about to turn against his goal, and King Yan thought that Zhao Guo had no time to look north, so he took the risk of launching a war. ”

"Not only the King of Yan, but the Gaoyang Jun Rong, who was entrusted with the important task, is a native of the Song Kingdom, and he has never been accepted by the Yan people, and he also needs to prove himself with a great merit, so that he can suppress the generals of various factions within the Yan State and sit firmly in his position as a general."

"So the pair of monarchs and ministers hit it off, and this is how this farce war is born." Mingyue also shook her head while speaking, the Hebei Plain has no danger to defend, and can only allow the existence of a big country, although geography determines that it is impossible for Zhao Yan to be friendly forever, this battle is indeed too child's play for Yan State, too risky, and now Zhao Jun's soldiers are in Yishui, and the Qi army is going north along the Bohai Sea, all of which occupy a lot of land.

However, within the Yan Kingdom, there may be people who are secretly happy about the prestige of King Yan and the loss of Rong Oyster......

While he was talking, at the ferry on the north bank, there was a boat that broke through the water and slowly sailed towards this side, looking at the flag, it should be sent by Yan Guo to pick up Chang Anjun.

Zhao Kuo's subordinates had been fighting with the Yan people for several months, and they suddenly became nervous and tense, but Mingyue stopped them, because he saw that there seemed to be no soldier weapons on the boat except for the rowers, and a tall general stood on the bow of the boat, and when he aimed with a bow and crossbow here, he did not move rashly.

After the ship docked, the young man in his early twenties clasped his fists and saluted Mingyue and Zhao Kuo: "But Chang'anjun? In the lower Yanchang monarch room, on the orders of the king and queen, come to greet him! ”
