Although the Korean army took Nanyang County, this was not the end of the matter, on the contrary, it was only the beginning of the matter.

At first, Nanyang County was owned by Korea, and later it was captured by the Chu State. Five years ago, Bai Qi led his army to take the land of Nanyang, and then went all the way south, even Keyan City and Yingdu, forcing Chu to move the capital to avoid the edge. Now South Korea has made a comeback and recovered Nanyang.

This series of turmoil directly stirred up the hearts of the people of Nanyang. Every time there is a war, a large number of fertile fields will be damaged, and every time there is a battle, Nanyang's soldiers will be killed. Fortunately, in this battle, most of the Qin troops annihilated by the Korean army were old Qin people in the Guannei, and only more than 8,000 people were local young people. Otherwise, Nanyang County Province will not have to raise the county to wear linen and filial piety, and it will be more difficult for South Korea to regain the hearts of the people.

Even so, there was some turmoil in the hearts of the people in Nanyang. In order to stabilize the hearts of the people as much as possible, the prince endured the pain and directly opened his mouth and exempted 100,000 households in Hejun from paying taxes this year. If there are war dead in the family, they will be exempted from taxes in the coming year, and they will be pardoned from forced labor.

All injured local people are treated free of charge. The damaged fields shall be compensated according to the yield per mu of the year. At the same time, the prince urgently dispatched a group of officials who were familiar with adjudicating cases, and held court hearings day and night to interrogate and interrogate, and punished corrupt officials and landlords who were extremely resentful of the people, and punished them one by one, deterring the young people with bad intentions. This series of measures has enabled the people of Nanyang County to initially establish a sense of identity with South Korea.

Zhao Guo, Jin Yang.

The two armies of Qin and Zhao have been fighting for more than a month. At first, Zhao Jun closed his door and guarded Jinyang. The Qin army took advantage of the situation to occupy a large area of land west of Jinshui (i.e., Fenshui). By the time Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, led an army of 100,000 to the east bank of Jinshui, the Qin army had already occupied all three crossings of the river, and had set up fortresses and garrisoned them with heavy troops. The Zhao army attacked for five days, suffered heavy damage, and could not be overcome.

Every day, the 100,000-strong army from Handan could only watch Jinyang, across the river, being attacked by the Qin army and unable to do anything. The deputy general Pang Xuan made a plan to feint with an army to attack the ferry, and the main force went north, choosing a place where the river was gentle and forcibly crossed. Unexpectedly, this plan was seen through by Bai Qi, and the Qin army took advantage of the Zhao army to cross the river, and attacked halfway, and the front army of the Zhao army collapsed and was defeated. Zhao Sheng led the army to retreat thirty miles to avoid its edge.

On July 27, Lian Po's 80,000 troops rushed to Tushui City and joined up with Zhao Sheng's remnants. After the whole army, with Lian Po as the main general and Zhao Sheng as the deputy general, he gathered 150,000 soldiers to attack Fenglingdu and break it. The Zhao army then entered the land of Taiyuan County.

On the second day of the eighth month, Zhao's army marched to a distance of seventy miles north of Jinyang and met the main force of the Qin army. Lian Po and Bai Qi were cautious, and only sent a small army to test the other party, and the Zhao army won a small victory, killing 2,000 Qin troops and losing 1,000 themselves. In the evening, the two sides retreated ten miles and set up camp.

On the third day of August, Zhao Jun went out of the camp to challenge, and Bai Qi responded. The two sides fought fiercely for two hours, regardless of victory or defeat, and fought again in the afternoon.

On the fifth day of the eighth month, Bai Qi was defeated because his troops were less than those of the Zhao army (note: Bai Qi had 120,000 soldiers and horses, and the rest was used to defend the Jinyang garrison and garrison the captured city), but he was defeated by fraud, retreated five miles and camped, and no longer took the initiative to fight. Zhao Jun thought that the Qin army was cowardly and repeatedly provoked him, but Bai Qi was unmoved, and beheaded a captain who asked for battle. The Qin army no longer dared to raise the matter of war.

On the sixth day of August, the Zhao army began to attack the Qin camp. After attacking for five days in a row, it could not be broken, and only three strongholds on the periphery of the Qin army were taken, killing 5,000 enemies.

On August 11, the Zhao army pulled out all the strongholds on the periphery of the Qin army, fought several battles with them, and won many victories, and the Zhao army gradually became proud and did not regard the Qin army as an enemy.

On August 15, the Qin army raided the southwest camp of the Zhao army and broke it. Lian Po made people first aid, and Qin Jun returned. After the war, the captain of the battalion counted the battle losses---- in this battle, the Zhao army lost 5,000 troops and 2,000 horses, and the Qin army left less than 2,000 corpses.

Sixty miles north of Jinyang, the Qin army camp.

Bai Qi looked at the map in front of him and thought hard about how to defeat the enemy. The strength of the Zhao army is understood by itself, especially after occupying half of Hexi County, the Zhao army prides itself on being the division of a hundred battles, and its morale is high, not weaker than the Qin army. Since the main forces of the two armies fought, their own side has lost more than 11,000 people, but the Zhao army's losses are even greater, and more than 20,000 people should have died at their own hands. If you count the losses caused to the Zhao army since he left Shangjun in the east, the Zhao State has actually lost 60,000 troops, which can be said to hurt the vitality.

Relying on the geographical advantage, he strictly guarded the walled city, and now he has achieved initial results. The fighting spirit of the Zhao army is no longer as high as it was a month ago, especially after last night's night attack, the morale of the Zhao army has plummeted. From the fact that the Zhao army has only launched a few small-scale attacks on its own side today, it can be seen that the Zhao army's will to attack itself is no longer so firm.

"General! Upper County Emergency! The adjutant general, Wang Ling, walked into the big tent and respectfully handed over the military book.

Bai Qi unfolded the military book and looked at it, and said happily: "Shangguan Juan led the army to take Puyang. ”

"Congratulations General! Puyang, our army no longer has to worry about the future. Whether the prime minister leads the army north or the general leads the army south, the two armies can be combined into one. In this way, my Great Qin is enough to be invincible. Wang Ling also felt very excited.

Bai Qi nodded, and continued: "Now that the Prime Minister has sent troops to take the two places of Anmen and Pi, plus Shangguan Juan has taken down the most difficult bone, Puyang, the two armies can indeed support each other. Eight hundred miles from Jinyang to Hangu Pass, our army can go as far as possible. ”

It's not easy! King Qin finally agreed with his opinion, but he was only willing to give himself an army of 30,000. How can these 30,000 troops be enough for a strategic decisive battle with the Zhao army! But fortunately, Shangguan Juan, the captain of Shangjun, does have some talents, and he has taken the important town of Puyang in just one month, which is really God's help to Daqin! However, although he can't fight a decisive battle with Zhao Jun at the moment, he can kill and weaken Zhao Jun step by step. When the king of Qin changed his mind and sent a large army to reinforce, it would not be too late to fight again.

"General, although the Zhao army has lost its troops, it still has nearly 130,000 troops. On the other hand, we have less than 110,000 troops left. If Zhao Jun can't hold out, what should we do? Adjutant General Wang Ling said worriedly.

The reason why the Zhao army suffered so many casualties was because they chose to take the initiative to attack the Qin camp. Relying on the advantage of the defensive side, the Qin army can maintain the damage ratio at a ratio of 1:2. Now that the Zhao army has given up the initiative to attack, how should the Qin army choose?

"Wait! The next thing is to wait. Whoever can't hold out first loses. Adjutant General Wang, contact General Shangguan and ask him to keep our army's food route unimpeded, understand? Bai Qi said coldly.

"Whoa!" Wang Ling clasped his hands into fists and replied solemnly.

At the same time, in the camp of the Zhao army opposite the Qin army, Lian Po sighed. Handan sent a letter, because of the heavy rain, the convoy transporting grain and grass was trapped halfway. At the same time, King Zhao implied that Lian Po would be able to defeat the Qin army within three months, and no more than six months at most. Otherwise, the country's grain and grass will not be sustainable.

"Six months, is that enough?" Lian Po was secretly worried.

(Two more sent, ask for a collection!) ）
