Chapter 923: Proposal to Destroy Zhao

"Newspaper—"

Qi County.

At this time, Qingji had already received the information that the five countries of Qi, Song, Lu, Wei, and Yan were preparing to join forces to rescue Zhao together, and when he was thinking about countermeasures, suddenly a junior colonel hurriedly came in to tell him.

"King, the scout has come to report that the Zhao army in the direction of Changping is coming towards the side of Qi County, and it is confirmed that it is the main force of the Zhao army! It's only thirty miles away from Qi County!"

"Order, beat the drum and gather the troops!"

"No!"

Without further ado.

Qingji can guess that Changping's Zhao army must have chosen to take the risk of breaking through when the grain and grass were exhausted and they were isolated.

And the direction of the retreat of the Zhao army is undoubtedly Jinyang.

The only way for Zhao Jun is Qi County.

It is true that the Wu army has experienced a series of battles and is sleepy, but what about the Zhao army?

Zhao Jun, who has been traveling for a long time, may not be much better than Wu Jun in terms of physical strength.

"Winter! Winter! Winter!"

Accompanied by the dull and murderous sound of war drums.

Inside and outside the city of Qi County, no matter what they were doing, the soldiers of the Wu army gathered one after another, formed several phalanxes, and waited for Qingji to give an order.

Due to the haste of the incident, Qingji did not have time to think about countermeasures.

However, Qing Ji could guess that Zhao Jun was so desperate, it must have been when the mountains and rivers were exhausted.

In order to completely defeat or even annihilate the main force of the Zhao army, Qingji had to consider blocking the Zhao army first, and then annihilating them in one fell swoop after Wu Zixu led the main force of the Wu army.

"Wu Zhang."

"The retainer is here!"

"Order you to lead 10,000 cavalry, rush to Banshan, be sure to block the Zhao army, the longer the better!"

"No!"

"Xumen's Nest."

"The minister is here!"

"Order you to lead 10,000 cavalry and rush to Baiwuling, be sure to block the Zhao army, the longer the better!"

"No!"

After Gongzizhang and Xu Menchao took the order to leave, Qingji looked around again, looked at the generals of the Wu army present, and waved his big hand: "The rest of the tribes, go to the field of Fenshui with the widows, if there are any Zhao troops who escape, kill them all, or drive them to the river!"

"No!"

This is a war of resistance, not annihilation.

Due to the haste of the incident, the Wu army did not have time to build a camp in Qi County to block the attack, so it could only block the Zhao army by annihilation.

When Wu Zixu arrived with his troops, the Zhao army, who was wrapped in dumplings, would definitely be wiped out.

……

"Kill!"

After a day and a night of fierce fighting, part of the Zhao army fought out of the encirclement from Qi County, but more Zhao soldiers were stranded here.

When Wu Zixu led the army to arrive, the Zhao army, which was attacked by the enemy on its back and was in a hungry state, was finally unable to resist and was wiped out one by one.

Surrender or die in battle.

There are very few Zhao soldiers who can really escape.

In this battle, the Wu army beheaded 50,000 and captured more than 20,000 people, not including the Zhao army who had died in Changping before.

[The app that has been running stably for many years is comparable to the old version of the book-chasing artifact, which is used by old bookworms.]

It's not a game, the soldiers in the game can be resurrected even if they die.

After this battle, the state of Zhao has been completely crippled, and even Han and Wei are inferior.

"Soldier Jinyang City!"

After the Battle of Qixian, Qingji issued another order to attack Jinyang City, and did not even give the Wu army any rest and respite.

Just like the Changping War between Qin and Zhao in history, all 450,000 horses of Zhao were killed and killed, and more than half of the Qin army was lost.

At that time, Bai Qi suggested that King Qin Zhaoxiang take advantage of the great victory to attack Handan and completely destroy the Zhao State.

However, Xiangbang Fan Ju was jealous of Xian and thought that after Bai Qi destroyed Zhao, the credit would be above himself, so he advised King Qin Zhaoxiang to negotiate peace with Zhao and stop marching into the army.

So the Qin State missed the opportunity to destroy Zhao.

When King Zhaoxiang of Qin reacted and ordered to attack Handan again, Bai Qi refused to obey his orders and was finally given death, and Qin also suffered the defeat of the Battle of Handan......

Of course, it is undeniable that King Qin Zhaoxiang, as a generation of heroes, is eloquent and strategic, and at that time, it was considered that the Qin State could not be sustained, and the countries were still eyeing the side, so he did not dare to immediately send troops to attack Handan.

Now that it is a celebration, there is no such concern.

He already knew that the five kingdoms of Qi, Lu, Song, Wei, and Yan were organizing a coalition and planned to send troops together to rescue Zhao.

But, so what?

If they dare to come, Qingji will be able to fight them together!

……

The capital of Zhao State, Jinyang.

At this time, in the main hall of the council, there was silence.

Deathly silence.

The monarchs and ministers of Zhao are all gloomy and miserable!

Even Zhao Ying, who was sitting on the throne, had nothing to do.

Zhao Ying's resourceful ministers were also silent.

Zhao Wuxian gritted his teeth and said, "Father, my sons heard that the five kingdoms of Qi, Lu, Song, Wei, and Yan are preparing to send troops to rescue Zhao, and they will meet Yu Chaoge."

"If I, Zhao Guo, can hold on to Jinyang City for a month, I think I will definitely be able to wait for reinforcements to arrive, and then turn defeat into victory."

"The worst thing, Wu Wangqing has lost his courage and does not dare to start a war with other countries, and he will choose to negotiate peace with me Zhao Guo and settle the matter......

Hearing this, Zhao Ying shook his head and said, "No mercy, you don't have to comfort the widow."

"Now, the fall of Jinyang City is a foregone conclusion."

"100,000 Wu troops besieged Jinyang City, and in my city, there are only 5,000 soldiers who can fight. Even if Li Shu is temporarily recruited to defend the city, what good will it be?"

"The young and strong people were all killed in battle or captured by the Wu army, and the rest were old and weak women and children."

"For Jinyang City, if the Wu army can go down with one drum, how can I, the Zhao State, hold on to the national capital for a month?"

「……」

Zhao Wuxian was silent.

Even Zhao Ying couldn't do anything, so depressed, could it be that the Zhao Kingdom was really going to perish?

At this time, Xiang Bangyou came out and said, "Monarch, the minister thinks that since I can't resist, I, Zhao State, should send someone to ask King Wu for peace. No matter how harsh the conditions of King Wu are, I, Zhao State, should promise it!"

"If you can survive the country, there is hope. If the Kingdom of Zhao is destroyed, everything will come to naught!"

"Please think twice!"

Hearing this, Zhao Ying sighed faintly and said, "If the Wu people can accept my Zhao State's request for peace, why is it like this?"

"Perhaps, at the beginning, the State of Wu just wanted to weaken our State of Zhao, just as the two countries of Han and Wei were weakened before."

"However, in the round of battles between Changping and Qi County, my Zhao State is already withered and unbearable, and for Wu Shi, it can be wiped out with a snap of a finger."
