Li Chenfeng stayed in Handan City for a total of five days, and during these five days, he did a lot of things and met a lot of people.

However, it was not so easy to get King Zhao to agree to return Yecheng to Wei.

After all, no king is willing to lose the land from his own hands, this is a matter of face, and if you want to convince Zhao Wangyan, you still have to waste a lot of effort.

Fortunately, Li Chenfeng had already prepared and fed the greedy guys under King Zhao, so with them there, King Zhao would inevitably be moved.

Of course, if it was just for a Yecheng, then Li Chenfeng wouldn't need to exert so much effort.

This time, in addition to asking for Yecheng, Li Chenfeng also formed an alliance with Zhao on behalf of Wei, and Wei was willing to send an army of 50,000 to help Zhao resist the Qin army in Shangdang County.

Sangdang County was originally a Korean territory.

In 262 BC, the state of Qin sent troops to attack Yewang (the ancient place name, that is, where Wei Yuanjun is now located) in Korea.

Yewang ordered the surrender of the city to the Qin state, causing the entire Shangdang County to be cut off from the country.

King Han Huan Hui was afraid of the Qin army's soldiers, and decided to take the initiative to dedicate Shangdang County to the Qin State to put an end to the scourge of war. But the Shangdang county guard was unwilling to surrender to Qin.

King Han Huanhui then sent Feng Ting to take over the Shangdang County Guard, and then carried out the relevant matters related to the surrender of Qin.

It's a pity that Feng Ting is also unwilling to surrender to Qin. However, Feng Ting is not an incompetent person, in order to avoid strengthening the Qin State, and at the same time use the power of the Zhao State to resist the Qin, he dedicated the county to the Zhao State, Zhao Xiaocheng Wang accepted, Feng Ting was named Huayang Jun and still served as the county guard of the Shangdang, and sent the Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng to lead 50,000 Zhao troops to receive the Shangdang.

In 261 BC, the Qin state attacked Korea and severed the connection between Shangdang County and the Korean mainland.

In April of the same year, the state of Qin sent Wang Yi to lead troops to attack Shangdang, intending to annex it in one fell swoop. Lian Po led 200,000 troops to rescue the party. At that time, most of Shangdang's land had been captured by the Qin army.

In the end, Feng Ting led the remnants to join the Lian Po army.

I'm afraid everyone is familiar with the things that followed, that is, the Battle of Changping, Zhao Kuo's army was defeated, and 400,000 Zhao troops were killed by Bai Qikeng.

The state of Zhao began to decline gradually, but the struggle between Qin and Zhao in Shangdang County also began, and it lasted for more than ten years and never stopped.

Now that Wei is willing to send 50,000 troops to help Zhao fight against the Qin army, King Zhao is naturally very happy.

Of course, at the same time, Li Chenfeng also has a lot of requirements.

In addition to the fact that the leader of the army this time must be Li Mu, Li Chenfeng also asked Zhao to cede a large area south of Zhangshui and east of Taihang Mountain to Wei.

You must know that although this location is sparsely populated, the area is large enough, comparable to the original East County, and the terrain is dangerous, there is Taihang Mountain to isolate Shangdang County, only a small proportion of a few checkpoints can completely block the possibility of the Qin army of Shangdang County advancing eastward, which is very important for the Wei State that has now recovered a large territory.

This request made Zhao Wangyan a little hesitant, after all, the area of this land was too large, almost equivalent to Zhao giving Wei a county for nothing, which made his heart ache.

However, there are naturally people in the court of Zhao Guo who will persuade him.

Because Li Chenfeng had already fed those favored ministers of King Zhao, and this time the matter was also very beneficial to Zhao Jia, so it was rare for the two factions of Prince Jia and Gongzi Qian to persuade King Zhao to agree to this matter at the same time, and Zhao Wangyan, who was originally a little wavering on this matter, was naturally easily persuaded.

In this way, in five days, Li Chenfeng spent five days in Handan to reach an alliance with Zhao, agreed on the goal of jointly resisting Qin, and also recovered all the land originally lost for Wei, and there were many windfalls.

In this way, the area of the current Wei State has almost doubled, and after the news was transmitted back to Daliang, Li Chenfeng's reputation instantly reached its peak, and hundreds of thousands of people in the entire Daliang City were praising the talents of the second son.

It was at this time that those who wanted to curry favor with Li Chenfeng in the Wei court began to advise the King of Wei and promote Li Chenfeng to the position of crown prince.

As soon as this proposal was put forward, it was immediately hotly discussed, and seventy percent of the officials and nobles agreed that Li Chenfeng was the crown prince of Wei.

It's just that I don't know if I'm afraid that my son will threaten my position, although Wei Wangzeng didn't explicitly object, but he proposed to wait until Li Chenfeng returned to Daliang.

……

……

Li Chenfeng, who had already left Handan and was handing over Yecheng with Yecheng Guard, just laughed and ignored Yecheng after getting the news from Wei Yu.

He was not at all annoyed by Wei Wangzeng's shirk.

Now he has hundreds of thousands of heavy soldiers in his hands, and he has the supreme prestige of opening up the territory, just the name of a prince, whether it is the same or not.

After all, it seems that Wei Wangzeng still has a lot of years to live, and the preliminary preparations for his own reunification battle are still too bad, so let King Wei stand in front first, and he himself can act secretly.

The next Li Chenfeng's focus was to receive the huge territory, and there was a division of 50,000 troops, including 10,000 elite Wei soldiers, with Qiange as the main general, starting from Yecheng, meeting with Li Mu who led the Zhao army in Wu'an, and then driving all the way to the northwest, reaching the front line of Luyang, and fighting with the main force of the Qin army.

And Li Chenfeng himself left 30,000 troops in Yecheng and 10,000 troops in Pingyang and Boyang, and then he himself led the remaining 35,000 people south along Taihang Mountain.

The situation of Taihang Mountain is steep and has always been regarded as an important place for soldiers. From the south of Lushui and Zhangshui, there is a sheep intestine road, rugged and uneven, only need to set up a checkpoint, hundreds of elite soldiers, can be a husband and a man.

Li Chenfeng left 500 Wei soldiers and 1,000 auxiliary soldiers here, the original centurion Wei Qing, promoted to the commander of a thousand soldiers, stationed in the bowl city of Yangjiban Road, to guard against the Qin army.

Next, Li Chenfeng traveled all the way east to Zhongmu City, which was originally the capital of Zhao State. The first capital of Zhao was Jinyang, and the first year of Zhao Xianhou (423 BC) moved the capital to Zhongmu, and the capital was Handan in the first year of Zhao Jinghou (386 BC).

Originally, this city was also a pivotal city in Zhao State, but later it was first conquered by Wei State, and then occupied by Qin State, so at this time it has already declined because of years of war, and the city is full of ruins, originally a big city with a population of more than 100,000, at this time it has fallen to the extent that the population is not more than 10,000.

Li Chenfeng stood on the ruined city wall outside Zhongmu City, looking at the large area of fertile land around him being abandoned because no one was heavier, and he also felt sorry in his heart.

In the decades at the end of the Warring States Period, the Seven Kingdoms conquered immortal years after year, and the number of deaths exceeded one million!

You have to know how many people are there in the whole of China now? In terms of the ratio of the number of deaths to the total population, I am afraid that in the first twenty years of the first emperor's reign, the number of people killed in the war in China was similar to that of Europe during World War II.

You can imagine the tragic situation at that time!
