There are Korean boat masters in the north, and the army of Qi in the south has bad intentions, and Rong knows that the Yan army has reached a critical juncture of life and death.

Although on the north bank of Jishui and the two cities of Lixia and Zhangqiu, Yan still has 15,000 soldiers and horses, plus 80,000 soldiers under his command, Yan still has the strength to fight. However, the constraints of the grain and grass problem doomed the Yan State to be unable to fight a protracted war with the Qi State. Carefully testing the other party, finding out the flaws of the other party, and then gaining a little advantage and expanding the advantage, such a safe tactic is not suitable for the current Yan army. Either live or die, the Han and Qi coalition gave Rong Yi such a simple choice.

It is ironic that it was Yan Guo who had the upper hand in the war at the beginning, but in just two months, it was Yan Guo who wanted to urgently get rid of contact and get out of the battlefield.

It is easy to choose life, but it is rare how to fight for the right to live. Rong Hui will never believe that Qi will let himself go! Even if Qi Guo is willing, his life and death will depend on South Korea's face.

Fortunately, although the Korean boat division blocked Jishui, Jishui stretched for hundreds of miles from east to west, and it was by no means possible for a boat division of 350,000 people to blockade it tightly. You still have hundreds of boats that you can use to transport grain, grass or soldiers.

Faced with the huge pressure on the south bank of Jishui, Rong Yan chose to live and left. However, before that, he sent someone to notify the subordinates of Lixia and Zhangqiu and agreed on a time to break through. It is better to break through the siege together than to be broken by the enemy army individually. The situation is better, because it is close to Jishui and is not besieged by the Korean army, so Rong Yan is not worried about this. Rong Yan is worried about Zhangqiu, Zhangqiu, who has 15,000 soldiers, has been besieged by the Korean army on three sides, although the Korean army has been besieging but not attacking, but the 50,000 soldiers and horses of the Korean army are placed there, and the Yan army will never leave easily. Perhaps, only a few thousand people will be able to successfully break through! Even fewer were able to escape to the north shore of Jishui!

Breaking through is for the Yan army trapped in Zhangqiu. It seems particularly unfair. Abandoning the fortified city and the enemy duel with superior forces, in addition to being able to catch the enemy by surprise at the beginning, the back is absolutely subject to others! But in terms of the big picture, such a sacrifice is worth it! At least it can contain the Han army, so that the Yan army can concentrate on dealing with the Qi army!

The so-called Ci Bu was in charge of the army, and the sacrifice of Zhangqiu's army was used to buy time for the retreat of the main force. One word can decide the life and death of tens of thousands of people, which requires great courage! As a veteran on the battlefield, Rong Yi has always known that there is no gain without sacrifice! There has never been a lack of determination and courage!

Half a month later, the Yan army forcibly crossed the Jishui. The Yan army, which was in a desperate situation and fought against the water, exerted its greatest combat power, and everyone knew that this was the first and last breakthrough of the Yan army, and if it did not succeed, it would become a benevolent.

The Yan armies of Lixia, Zhangqiu, and Zoucheng acted in turn, and among them, the Yan armies under Lixia attracted the main attention of the Korean boat divisions. Zhangqiu's Yan army firmly attracted the Han army to himself, and in this way, the main force of the Yan army in Zou Cheng took the lead in successfully crossing the river. Although the successive Qi armies inflicted great casualties on the Yan army, the main force of the Yan army still successfully crossed the Jishui.

In three days, there were 125,000 Yan troops on the south bank of Jishui, and only 90,000 people finally set foot on the north bank of Jishui alive. In order to cover the crossing of the river by the Rong Worm army, 5,000 Yan troops died on the north bank of Jishui. In this way, the entire north shore of Jishui. There are 100,000 Yan troops. The 200,000 Yan army crossed the river to the south in high spirits and invaded the Qi State. Today, only half of the soldiers remain. Although the Yan State seized a hundred miles of land, the price was too great.

The State of Qi can also be regarded as a broken nerve, and the loss of the three cities on the north bank of Jishui is still a trivial matter, and the loss of 80,000 troops is enough to make the State of Qi breathless for a long time. After all. The soldiers of the whole country of Qi are less than 270,000!

Because of this, when Han Teng sent an envoy to the King of Qi, saying that he wanted the division to return to China, instead of helping the Qi State drive the Yan army north of Luoshui, or even north of the river. Although the king of Qi was reluctant, he still ordered Tian Dan to lead the army to garrison the front line of Jishui, and gave up the plan to pursue while he was victorious.

Yan Guo was already frightened and demoralized, and Qi Guo was powerless to follow, and the two sides tacitly chose Jishui as the dividing line and licked their respective wounds.

At the same time, Jinyang in the Qin State was still full of commotion and unrest.

Bai Qi once praised Yang Duanhe several times in front of King Qin, and King Qin also believed it. After Bai Qi and Wang Jian defected to Korea, King Qin promoted Yang Duanhe and consulted him on the use of troops. Yang Duanhe also lived up to expectations and had many military exploits on the border. In the face of the 150,000 invading army of Zhao, the King of Qin did not hesitate at all, and let Yang Duanhe lead the 100,000 army to the front line of Fenshui to defend against the enemy. You must know that the soldiers and horses of the entire Qin State are only 180,000, which shows the importance of the King of Qin on Yang Duanhe.

In the first two months, Yang Duanhe faced the famous general Lian Po of Zhao State, and he did not fall behind, and even faintly gained the upper hand. Of course, this is also related to the strategy chosen by Lian Po. In the face of the tightly guarded Fenshui defense line, Lian Po did not force the crossing with scruples, but used a series of tactics in a vain attempt to achieve the effect of tactical deception, but unfortunately they were all recognized by Yang Duanhe.

However, although Yang Duanhe is talented, he lacks experience after all. The veteran Lian Po sent a detachment of 30,000 people to make a detour of thousands of miles and capture the northern city of Taiyuan County, Fenyang. After the fall of Fenyang, the northern gateway of Taiyuan County has been opened. The Zhao army, however, did not love war, and went all the way south to occupy a ferry fifty miles south of Fenyang.

The Qin army originally had 3,000 elites at this ferry, but unfortunately, the Qin army's attention was on the opposite bank, and Lian Po deliberately shrank his forces to Yuci and Chisetai on the other side of Jinyang, which made the defenders of the ferry relax their vigilance. The defenders never thought that they would be attacked from behind, and they were caught off guard and annihilated!

After Zhao's army succeeded, he quickly reported to the other side. After learning the good news, Lian Po remained silent, and once again suddenly mobilized boats and boats to the north, and suddenly mobilized boats and boats to the south, confusing the Qin army's judgment, but in fact secretly sent troops to cross the river through the Guò Zhao army to control the zhì section of the river. It wasn't until ten days later, when a scout informed Yang Duan and Fenyang of the loss, that Yang Duanhe realized that a large number of Zhao troops had entered Taiyuan County!

Limited by grain and grass and the narrowness of the ferry, there were not many Zhao troops crossing the river, only 50,000 people. Counting the previous 30,000 partial divisions, the Zhao army in Taiyuan County is only 80,000! But it was Lian Po who led the troops, and there were nearly 70,000 Zhao troops on the other side of Fenshui, which made Qin obviously suffer from the enemy. If Yang Duanhe dared to mobilize the main force to intercept the Zhao army led by Lian Po, then the 70,000 Zhao army could directly cross the Fenshui and encircle Jinyang. If Yang Duanhe ignores it or divides a small number of troops to meet the battle, it is tantamount to a sheep falling into the mouth of a tiger, and there is no return.

In this way, if the Qin State wants to survive this sudden crisis, it can only increase its troops. Yang Duanhe's 100,000 army alone is not enough.

In order to deal with this crisis, the Qin State has mobilized all the soldiers and horses of Taiyuan County, plus some support from Hedong and Shangjun, and only 150,000 people have been gathered! Among them, there are still 20,000 people who are old and weak, and it is okay to defend the city, but they can only be used as a consuming class in the field.

Jinyang, as the capital of Qin, must also be garrisoned by at least 10,000 troops. Therefore, there were only 40,000 soldiers left at the disposal of the Qin State! Yang Duanhe squeezed out another forty or fifty thousand people in his hands, but it was not a problem. In this way, 50,000 Qin troops held the Fenshui line to prevent the 70,000 Zhao troops on the opposite bank from crossing the river. The 90,000 army went north to prevent the 80,000 Zhao troops led by Lian Po from coming to Jinyang City and hitting the morale of the Qin State, so that the troop arrangement was appropriate.

Speaking of Jinyang, we have to mention the topography of Jinyang. Jinyang is located at the north end of the Taiyuan Basin, on the north bank of Fenshui, on the east side of the Hanging Urn Mountain. Further west of Jinyang is Shaoyang Mountain, and to the northwest is Yashan Mountain. These are mountains that stretch for hundreds of miles. Although the Zhao army captured Lan County, which was only more than 200 miles away from Jinyang, the road was difficult to navigate. Mountains to the west, water to the east, and less than fifteen miles in between are slightly flat land. As long as the Qin army set up a camp on the middle of the road and strictly defended it, the Zhao army really had no good way to attack it.

Time has become the most important thing for both Qin and Zhao! If the army of Zhao State could come to Jinyang City with an infantry in advance, it would definitely greatly damage the morale of Qin State. On the contrary, if the Qin State could set up a camp on the road that the Zhao State army must pass, then it would be the Zhao State army that would be uncomfortable! Jinyang behind him will also be safe!

In the end, Qin seized the opportunity. And Zhao Jun was delayed for too long because of the crossing of the river, and in the end he could only watch a Qin army camp completely block his way forward. It's not that Lian Po didn't think of sending a partial division straight to the front and the troops under the city of Jinyang, but Jinyang is the base camp of the Qin State, with a large number of troops! If you rush forward, if the number is small, it will be eaten by the Qin State, but it will lose the sharp qi, and if the number is too large, it will form a stalemate. What's more, Lian Po still likes to be safe and is not willing to take risks! And the Qin State does not have the courage to take risks, so it is not surprising that the Qin State has the first opportunity!

Lian Po guarded Lanxian with 5,000 elites, and 5,000 elites guarded the ferry to ensure his own back road, and then personally led an army of 70,000 to confront the 90,000 Qin army led by Yang Duanhe a hundred miles north of Jinyang. Although on both sides of the Fenshui River, Qin and Zhao are still fighting wits and courage, and they are very busy. But Qin Guo knew, and Zhao Guo also knew, that the key to the real decision of this victory or defeat lay here. If Lian Po wins, then the Qin State is in danger! Yang Duanhe won, then Zhao Guo can only swallow the bitter fruit of defeat!

The big war is on the verge of breaking out! This is a battle that no one can afford to lose! Although the Zhao army is inferior in numbers, and the Qin army has 20,000 more people, the problem is that the current Qin army is no longer the original Qin army!
