Thousands of miles away, Handan, Zhao State.

The news that the Qin State had defeated the Yewang and the second defeat of Yique made the entire Zhao State overjoyed. The general Lian Po now sent people 800 miles to urgently send a message to Handan, Bai Qi has led 100,000 remnants of the army to flee into Hangu Pass, and the South Korea skillfully attacked with fire, and took the empty Yiyang City overnight. This marked a complete victory for the Zhao Kingdom! Handan is completely boiling!

With the fall of Yiyang and the defeat of the Qin army, the Battle of the Wild King, which lasted for nearly a month, came to an end.

The battle was an all-out counterattack by Han, Zhao, and Wei against the increasingly aggressive Qin state. The three kingdoms invested a total of 350,000 troops, and the Qin state invested a total of 300,000 troops. The battle ended in a great defeat for the Qin state, and the Qin army lost two important towns of Yique and Yiyang, and lost 210,000 troops.

The speed with which the battle ended and the Qin army's losses were so large that it was rare in a hundred years. When later historians studied this period of history, they all described this strategic decisive battle that decided the fate of the Central Plains as incredible.

The Sanjin coalition army firmly grasped the flaw of the Qin army's early advance of the light enemy, and laid a firm foundation for the victory of the entire battle. In the later period, when the two sides reached a stalemate, South Korea sent spies to plot against Yiqu, and the rear of Qin was in a panic. The Qin army, which originally had a slight upper hand, could only give up the good situation and withdraw to Guannai.

Victory is victory, but Zhao Guo is now arguing about where to send his soldiers. With the main force of the Qin army being pinned down in the pass, the Qin land outside the pass seemed to be within reach. Whether to attack Shangjun or Hexi County or Hedong County, there was a fierce dispute in the Zhao court.

One faction thinks that it is better to attack Shangjun. Shangjun has many grasslands and horse farms, and supporters believe that cavalry has proved its great role in this war, and Zhao can rely on Shangjun to vigorously develop cavalry.

One faction thought that it would be better to capture Hexi County. Once Hexi County was owned by Zhao, Zhao could bypass Hangu Pass and threaten Xianyang. Shangjun was bordered by the Xiongnu in the north and was often harassed by the Xiongnu, and supporters believed that if Shangjun was taken, Zhao would have to allocate a large part of its forces to guard against the Xiongnu. It is better to take the land of the West River directly, and let the Qin army defend the Xiongnu for Zhao.

There is also a faction that believes that it is possible to capture Hedong County and block the Hangu Pass of Qin. In the future, if the Qin State is a soldier out of Hangu, it will be frightened step by step, and it will not be able to advance.

The three factions were at loggerheads, and the overjoyed King Zhao even asked the ministers if they could all occupy the three counties, no way, when did the Zhao State be so majestic, and the ** that expanded the land for thousands of miles was really big enough!

It's just that this time the ministers are unusually unanimous, and they all say that it is more appropriate to capture a county, and if there are more, Zhao will suffer heavy damage. You must know that Shangjun and Hexi County have about 80,000 Qin soldiers stationed in them, and Hedong County has fewer garrisons, with 50,000 soldiers. With the national strength of Zhao State, these more than 200,000 Qin troops cannot be eaten.

This situation lasted only a few days before it was broken by South Korean emissaries. The Han envoy first visited a group of powerful people of Zhao State, and then entered the palace and talked with King Zhao for an hour. The next day, King Zhao announced the decision to send troops to Hexi County.

Daliang City, King Wei is also troubled. Wendi was recaptured, and the Qin army also drove away, but his own losses were still a bit big. The 130,000 troops that were sent to Huayang at the beginning are now less than 30,000 troops left. Fortunately, South Korea was considerate and exempted from the "war reparations" of 400,000 stones, and Wei felt a little comforted.

For the Qin State, the King of Wei hated and feared. After receiving the news of the chaos in Qin, King Wei was happy for a long time. After it was determined that Bai Qibing would retreat to Hangu, the matter of Wei saving Han was over. Jin also sent someone to ask the king of Wei whether he would return to the army of Daliang, but the king of Wei pondered for a moment but did not give an answer immediately.

Because the king of Han sent the guest secretary Chen Xiao to visit the Wei state. Chen Xiao took the letter of King Han, first reviewed the glorious history of friendship between Han and Wei, and then praised Wei for his great contribution in the cause of resisting Qin, and the wisdom and decisiveness of King Wei.

After patting his ass, Chen Xiao changed his words and said that the Qin State was in chaos, and the main force had no time to look eastward, which was a great opportunity given by God to the Three Jins. Korea was willing to help Wei recover the old capital of Anyi and take all the land east of the river. Zhao has coveted Hexi County for a long time, and the general Lian Po of Zhao has agreed to persuade King Zhao to attack Hexi County, plus King Han sent an envoy with a lot of money to facilitate this matter, presumably the news of Zhao's attack on Hexi County will spread soon.

In order to dispel the doubts of the Wei king, Chen Zheng even stated that if the Wei state had no intention of recovering the old capital, he hoped that he would not mind the Korean capture of Hedong County. After all, Hedong County originally belonged to the Wei State, but now it is closer to Korea. South Korea was grateful to Wei for this rescue and did not want to take the lead and damage the diplomatic relations between South Korea and Wei.

King Wei was actually already moved. Hexi County is located in the Central Plains, which is a prosperous place with 300,000 people. South Korea has taken a hundred miles of land on the first line of Yiyang and Yique, and its strength has increased greatly. If Zhao Guo takes Hexi County again, it will also increase the population by 400,000. Only Wei took a small city in Wendi, and lost 100,000 troops for it, and its strength was greatly reduced.

Now, these losses can only be compensated for by taking Hedong County. Although Hedong is the land of four wars, but now that the main force of the Qin State is trapped in the Guannei, even if the Yiqu Rebellion is quelled, the strength will be greatly reduced. Even if Qin Guohui came over a few years later and sent troops out of Hangu, he could rely on Korea and Zhao in the north to get support from three sides.

King Wei's heart blossomed, but he said without being salty, "This matter is very important, and the widow still needs to solicit the opinions of the ministers." Wait until tomorrow to make a decision. ”

There was gold to open the way, and Chen Xiao "convinced" a powerful man of Wei that night. The next day, the whole Wei state agreed with Korea's proposition and decided to send 150,000 troops to attack Hedong County.

When Wei announced the news, Chen Cang of Qin was in the middle of a wolf.

The 110,000 Yiqu wolf riders quietly bypassed Yixian County and raided Chencang, which was only more than 30 miles away from Yongcheng. The 5,000 Qin army was defenseless, and no one expected that the Yiqu soldiers, who were still 400 miles away three days ago, would suddenly attack Chencang. After a hard battle, the 5,000 Qin army was annihilated, and Chen Cang became the sixth Qin city to fall under the Yiqu wolf.

Yongcheng realized that there was a change in Chencang after seeing the fire in Chencang, and immediately sent troops to support. It's just too late, and the Yiqu wolf rider disappeared again after burning nearly a million stones of grain and grass.

With the news of Yongcheng's quick horse, Xianyang finally heard about the movement of the Yiqu wolf rider again. This time, they slapped Yongcheng in the face with heavy garrison. Yongcheng, the old capital of the Qin State, had an army of 40,000 troops, but he still didn't have time to save Chen Cang, who was close at hand. The only thing worthy of Qin's comfort may be the army that worries about Yongcheng, and the Yiqu wolf cavalry did not slaughter the city this time, but only burned thousands of houses.

In Xianyang City, Bai Qi's army immediately rushed to Yongdi after receiving the news of the appearance of the Yiqu wolf horse. During the half-day in Xianyang, Bai Qi fully felt the panic of the Qin people. The Yiqu wolf rode like a demon from hell, killing people when they saw them, burning houses when they saw them, countless fertile fields were destroyed, and the loss of money and food in the Qin State was incalculable.

As a great good worker, Bai Qi has been under tremendous pressure. Especially in this defeat, the king of Qin had no time to hold accountable for the defeat, but ordered Bai Qi to eliminate this Yiqu wolf cavalry at any cost.

Now, with the appearance of the Yiqu wolf rider and the advance of the Baiqi army, I am afraid that the time in the Yiqu Vertical and Horizontal Pass is running out.
