Things became clear all of a sudden, Chu threatened Qi with peace with Korea, and Qin and Zhao jointly put pressure on Qi, Qi had to agree to join forces with Zhao to attack Dongjun!

On the 21st day of the lunar month, Linzi sent two groups of envoys, one wave to Taojun, asking Prime Minister Hou Sheng to lead a large army to conquer Chengqiu within ten days; Another wave went to Handan with a handwritten letter from Xinlingjun, asking the army of Zhao to rush to the area of Onozawa as much as possible, and the two countries should join forces and pass through Luodong County!

On the 26th of the lunar month, Luoyang, South Korea.

The news of the Xiongnu's dispatch of troops finally reached Luoyang City, and the Korean monarchs and ministers breathed a sigh of relief when they learned the news. Among the four kingdoms of Qin, Zhao, Qi and Chu, Zhao was blocked in Hanoi and stopped at Shangdang, Qi did not move, Chu had Han Teng's 60,000 troops threatening Yingdu and 50,000 Dongyue troops to make trouble in Jiujiang, all of which were not to worry, and only Qin was the only one who really posed a heavy threat to Korea, and now, Qin faced 200,000 Xiongnu troops, I am afraid that it will be anxious!

Qin Guo still didn't know that the Korean reinforcements transferred from Luoyang to Hedong were actually old and weak soldiers, and it was really predictable how much combat power such an army could have. It's ridiculous that he was afraid of the heavy casualties of the past few days, and after the several temptations launched were defeated by the few elites of the Korean army, he stopped the temptation!

Today, although South Korea has 100,000 troops in Hedong, only 30,000 can be called elite, and the remaining 70,000 can only defend the city and use it for field battles, which is vulnerable. In South Korea's plan, Hadong can actually be abandoned. Hedong is surrounded by water on three sides and mountains on one side, and even if Jujun is taken by the Qin State, it is difficult to enter the Central Plains. It is not that South Korea cannot compete with Qin for the east of the river, but after losing the river moat, South Korea wants to drive 100,000 Qin troops to the other side of the river, and the price paid is not ordinary!

Zhao, Qi, and Chu were eyeing each other, and the casualties of the Korean army were too large. The three kingdoms of them are definitely willing to fall into the ground, and fight with the Qin army to lose both, and they will only lose big because of small losses. Therefore, the Korean monarch reluctantly made the decision to give up Hedong, but this kind of renunciation is not unconditional! That is, the Qin army can take the whole county of Hedong. But it will also cost three or five months, fifty or sixty thousand people! There is a period of time, enough for Korea to wait until the shape shì changes!

There are two parts to this change, the inner is that South Korea has won a great victory on the local battlefield, and the external is that the Dongyue State or the Xiongnu army has made a breakthrough.

However, the king of Han would not sue his ministers, and he never expected the Xiongnu army or the Dongyue army to turn Qin and Chu upside down. Instead of pinning your hopes on others, you should turn to yourself! This is a creed summed up by King Han! When the Battle of Huayang occurred, King Han secretly admonished himself. When it is not extremely difficult, South Korea will definitely not ask for help from other countries, and as for giving in, it is even more impossible!

Therefore, the king of Han was willing to give up Hedong in order to draw enough troops to put pressure on the state of Chu. Although the Xiongnu's dispatch of troops greatly relieved the pressure on Korea on the Hedong battlefield, it was just a surprise for King Han!

"Your Majesty. The minister thinks that the 200,000 Xiongnu army attacking Qin is our God-given opportunity! Prime Minister Zhang Ping said loudly.

King Han smiled. Motioned for Zhang Ping to continue. God-given opportunities, it also depends on how to grasp them!

"In the past two months, the Qin State has lost more than 50,000 soldiers in Hedong! The 200,000 Xiongnu army bypassed Xiaoguan, Xianyang must be shaken, and it is almost inevitable to transfer the army from Hedong back to Xianyang! In this way, we can gather a large army to recover Hedong! Zhang Ping said excitedly.

Few people know. Storm Kite and Zhang Ping's private relationship is very good. This time, as the main general, Storm Kite bears unshirkable responsibility for South Korea's defeat in Hedong. If Hedong can be recovered, the storm kite can be regarded as atonement! Therefore, Zhang Ping is doing both public and private affairs together!

King Han smiled but did not speak. Just look at the other ministers.

"Your Majesty! The minister seconded the proposal! On this occasion, we can also support each other with the Huns when we send troops! Otherwise, if the Qin State was allowed to draw troops from Hedong in an orderly manner, although the number of Xiongnu was large, it would be impossible to escape defeat! Taichang Wang Fang also spoke.

Fan Sui shook his head and sighed: "The Qin State finally won half of Hedong, how could it be easy to give up?!" Judging from the ministers, in addition to the 100,000 troops in Hedong, the Qin State still has 300,000 troops available! Even if the Qin State drew a large army from Hedong out of prudence, it would leave no less than 50,000 troops behind! Siege of the city, casualties are not small! ”

King Han nodded secretly at this, Qin Guo's ambitions for Hedong were so deep that few people would have thought of it. Now it must be clear that the purpose of South Korea's war in Hedong is to drag Bai Qi's army so that Bai Qi cannot return to Xianyang or go all out to recover half of Hedong!

The servant Huang Bo also said: "The minister thinks that what the imperial doctor said is very true! Even if the Qin State drew 50,000 troops from Hedong, there would still be 50,000 troops! These 50,000 troops are holding on to various cities, and our Korean army still doesn't know how many soldiers and horses it will have to lose to recover! More importantly, the minister thought that the most important thing now was to let the Qin State divide its troops and weaken the strength that the Qin State could use to resist the Xiongnu! The Xiongnu invaded in a big way, and the guards of Xianyang were the most important thing in the eyes of the Qin State! ”

"If we attack Hedong immediately, wouldn't we be able to contain Qin's 100,000 army?" Taichang Wang Fang raised his own questions.

The servant Huang Bo shook his head and sighed: "If Bai Qi insists on returning to Xianyang, how can we stop it?!" Sending troops to attack Hedong, the best thing is to recover the whole county of Hedong! In exchange, the Qin State calmly survived this crisis! It's not worth it! ”

Prime Minister Zhang Pinglu said solemnly: "If we feint to attack Tongguan and Yaoguan, can we also contain a lot of attention from Xianyang?" At this time, if you storm Hedong again, the Qin State will be attacked on all sides, and it will not be easy to deal with the Xiongnu! ”

"The Xiongnu is the henchman of the Qin State today, the pass and the Tong Pass are the most dangerous places, the terrain can be described as a pass and ten thousand people are not open, if we do not attack, the Qin State is afraid that it will not pay attention, and will only be regarded as a disease of ringworm! But if you storm, the casualties will be very large! Fan Sui said.

"If you want to achieve great things, how can you care about casualties?! Hedong can't be attacked, Tongguan and Yaoguan are not easy to fight, can it be that they watched the Xiongnu and Qin fight and lose both, and let Qin go without their eyes? Zhang Ping retorted.

King Han smiled and played a round and said, "How did the widow gather all Aiqing today, how did it make the situation worse for the Qin State?" The Qin State is firmly related to the Central and rarely faces direct threats, and now the invasion of the 200,000 Xiongnu army in Guanzhong is the greatest danger since the Qin State! If one is not handled well, the Qin State may be destroyed, and at worst, it will plummet, and it can no longer threaten our country! Although the casualties should be as few as possible, they should not over-preserve their strength, if they can hit the Qin State hard in a few months, the Zhao State will inevitably be daunted, and Qi and Chu will also retreat! ”

Only then did everyone realize that King Han was deliberately attacking the Qin State, considering that King Han had chosen to severely damage the Chu State in order to achieve the goal of dividing the Four Kingdoms Alliance, it was obvious that if a safe method was discussed, maybe the 60,000 troops in Lantian would be of other use!

"Your Majesty! Han Teng's army of 60,000? Fan Sui stared at King Han and said uncertainly.

King Han nodded, his meaning was self-evident, and said: "Yingdu is close at hand, whether it is from Bashu or Nanyang, you can go down the river, threaten Yingdu, and hit the Chu State hard!" This is not the case with the Qin State, where the Qin State is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and if we in Korea want to attack Guanzhong, we will inevitably suffer heavy losses. Even if the Xiongnu hit the Qin State hard this time, as long as the Qin State is given enough time, it can recuperate and meddle in the affairs of the Central Plains! In that case, why not take advantage of the 200,000 Xiongnu army to invade Qin and attack Qin?! ”

The ministers secretly thought about it for a while, and quickly agreed with King Han's opinion. The reason why South Korea chose to start with Chu was because the strength of Chu was relatively weak, on the other hand, if it attacked Chu, there was Dongyue as a support, and the Chu State stretched for three thousand miles from east to west, and the heavy troops gathered by Huaisi could not rescue Yingdu in a short time.

But with the Xiongnu sending troops, Qin became the weakest link in the alliance of Qin, Zhao, Qi, and Chu! Defeating the Chu State is obviously not as good as defeating the Qin State, which can shock the world more! If South Korea can fight with huge casualties and concessions to its other countries, it may be able to destroy the Qin State in one battle!

If you want to use troops on a large scale against the Qin State, attacking Hedong is not only slow but also unable to directly threaten Guanzhong, so it will naturally become the next policy! In comparison, it is better to use troops from the three directions of Hanzhong, Nanyang, and Sanchuan.

In terms of troops, in the direction of Shangdang and Hanoi, because the 300,000 army of Zhao State was pressing step by step, the 150,000 army under the command of Meng Fu naturally could not move! In the direction of Huaisi, Li Mu has nearly 400,000 troops under his command, but the combined forces of Qi and Chu still have 400,000 losses over time, but Qi is afraid of casualties, and in fact it does not play a big role, South Korea can send some troops and horses to attack Guanzhong in this direction! In the direction of Yingdu, the 60,000 army under Han Teng is now an important reason to force the Chu State to transfer a large army from the Huaisi Valley back to Yingdu! If it is transferred, the state of Chu will have no worries to solve the threat of the Dongyue state! If it is not mobilized, it will continue to contain the state of Chu. In the direction of Hanzhong, if the 100,000 army goes north with all its might, the pressure on the Qin State will be unprecedentedly great!

These troops are all the forces that South Korea has already put into the battlefield, if you really care, South Korea can still draw 150,000 troops in the Nanyang and Yingchuan areas, and in the direction of Bashu, there are also 100,000 troops! It is used to cut down Qin, and the troops are more than enough!! (To be continued......)
