Judging from the map, Gongcheng, occupied by Jiang Yi's troops, was the only way for the Wei army to withdraw westward, Heyongcheng was the closest way for the Zhao army to return to Yicheng, and the negative city was the key node for the Chu army to flee south.

Obviously, the three-way army arranged by General Wang Yi was rushing to leave all the coalition forces of the three kingdoms behind.

Of course, there are some differences between the three cities.

Of course, this is also related to the topography of Zhou Wangji. Zhou Wanggi is in the middle of the world, sandwiched between the four kingdoms of Qin, Zhao, Han and Wei, Qin in its west, Zhao in its north, Han in its south and Wei in its north, the whole presents an east-west direction, that is, from east to west, narrow and long, from south to north, short and gathered.

Therefore, the Wei army wanted to withdraw westward, and Gongcheng occupied the central part of the north and south, which was almost a necessary place for the army, so this was also where Wang Di was bound to win.

Therefore, Wang Yi sent the elite Jiang Yi to occupy this place first. The purpose is self-evident.

And Heyong City, although it is the closest city to Yicheng, as long as you cross the water from here and go north, it will only take a few hours to reach Yicheng, an important town in Shangdang County. However, because of the long and narrow relationship between the east and west of Zhou Wangji, Heyong may be the best place to cross the river, but it is not the only place to cross the river.

In other words, if Zhao Guo wants to return north, although the best way is Heyong City, with Lian Po's ability, even if he is in a hurry, he will avoid this place.

Therefore, for the Zhao army returning to the north, Wang Yi still relied more on the cavalry of Meng Yu's department to stick to the Zhao army, and the interception of Heyongcheng can only be said to be better than nothing.

The same situation is also in the city of Negative Yellow, although this is also the most convenient path for Chu to return south, but from east to west, there are too many roads that Chu can take.

Therefore, in the south, Wang Yu released only one lieutenant with 5,000 soldiers and horses. Of course, this is also related to the fact that there are only more than 20,000 people left in the army of Chu State. And after the war, this number will drop sharply.

It's really a piece of chicken ribs that "tasteless to eat, and it's a pity to discard". Therefore, Wang Di's meaning is also obvious, it is best to block it, and it is okay if it can't be blocked.

To sum up, looking at the entire layout of Wang Di, his intention is already very obvious.

Its primary target was not the Qin army's biggest opponent, the Zhao army, but the Wei army, which had the most strength and the most fierce jumps. Of course, this is not a decision made by Wang Yi with a pat on the head, but the best choice made by the current military and political situation.

From a military point of view, the existence of Gongcheng made it possible for only the Wei army to be annihilated by the Qin army;

From a political point of view, strangling one of the Wei states jumping up and down would be much more deterrent to the rest of the states than the defeat of the Zhao army;

Even, judging from the subsequent strategic layout, weakening the Wei State can better prepare for the next battle of the Qin army.

What fight? When the war is fought to this extent, how can the ambitions of King Qin and Wang Yi be confined to the land of Zhou Wangji. The defeat of the coalition forces and the loss of forces on all sides were the best opportunity for the Qin army to expand its gains.

The question is where to expand?

The country of Han? Obviously not, not to mention that Han Zhiguo has just defected to the Qin State, and the Qin State will attack him after taking the coalition army, who else is willing to ally with the Qin State in the future?

It doesn't matter if it was before, and the Qin State doesn't need an alliance. But this battle of Los Angeles is a wake-up call for Qin, as long as Zhao is still there, Qin cannot but consider the issue of allies.

And although this battle has consumed the Zhao army, it has not shaken the foundation of the Zhao State, naturally, the country of Han cannot move, at least not now.

On the other hand, Han Zhiguo has always been a piece of meat on the side of Qin Jun's mouth, and he can eat it whenever he wants, so he doesn't have to waste such a precious opportunity.

And what about the Wei State?

The 100,000 troops of the Wei army were beheaded under the horse, which was already a great weakening of the Wei state. It can be said that after this battle, Wei will not be able to recover for at least five to eight years.

Eight years is enough for the Qin army to send troops to take away enough benefits.

There is no need to occupy such a precious moment.

For the rest, the state of Chu is far away, needless to say, the two countries of Yan and Qi are even more distant and have not been involved in the battle, let alone be considered.

Thinking about it, it's better to take advantage of Zhao Jun

's illness, and Zhao Guo's life is the most in line with the interests of Qin State.

Therefore, in Wang Di's timetable, in the first phase of the campaign, the first goal of the Qin army was to eat this Wei army.

Then, concentrate all the forces and pounce on the current Shangdang County of the Zhao State, and at least take back the territory of Hanoi County (the Shangdang County of the current Zhao State is spliced together from the lengthened flat area of Hanoi County. ）

Of course, in order to achieve this goal, while encircling and annihilating the Wei army, Wang Yi will still invest a large number of troops, even more than the encirclement and annihilation of the Wei army, to pursue and consume the Zhao army.

This is also the reason why Wang Yu transferred Meng Fu to the front line of the pursuit of the Zhao army.

If it goes well, it is not impossible for Meng Fu to follow and attack, take Yicheng, or even go straight to Yewang City.

After giving the order, Wang Yi immediately waved his hand, and the generals immediately clenched their fists and led the order.

Immediately, in Los Angeles, the Qin army camp was lively again.

Outside Los Angeles, the main camp of the coalition was still eerily quiet, all the soldiers had already slept, and bursts of snoring continued to resound over the camp.

Nothing seems to have changed, and everything is changing all the time.

I have to say that Qin Jun's secrecy measures are really powerful, and until this time, Xinlingjun has not received any news. Seeing that the weather is getting cooler day by day, Xinlingjun's mood is getting hotter and hotter day by day.

As long as it can be delayed until winter, under the severe cold, it will be even more difficult for the Qin army to attack.

If you wait until after the beginning of spring, you can ask your own king to urge the main force of the Zhao army to go south, as long as the main force of the Zhao army goes south, the protagonist of this battle will be replaced by the Zhao State, and as long as you preserve your strength, no matter what the final result of the battle between the Zhao army and the Qin army is, it will be the result of both defeats.

The two powerhouses compete, and the benefit is naturally the third in the Wei State.

Even if the Qin army finally occupied Zhou Wangji, with its own army of 100,000, it would be able to calmly divide the city with the Qin army.

If the Zhao army wins, then naturally, Zhao Guo, who has greatly damaged his vitality, will not dare to break the contract.

As long as Wei took the territory of Zhou Wangji, he could peek into the homeland of Hedong and Hexi, restore the former glory of Wei, retreat and strictly guard the passage of Cuihan, and completely seal the road for the Qin army to go east.

In a word, as long as you stick to it until next year, everything will be fine.

Thinking of this, Xin Lingjun's heart was also hot, and even the negative sabotage of Han and Chu in recent days, Xin Lingjun no longer took it to heart.

As long as they are still fighting Qin, as long as their troops are still in the coalition army, it will be enough!

Yes, while Qin, Zhao, and Han were each thinking about how to trap their opponents to protect their own interests, Xinlingjun of Wei had already laid the groundwork in secret, and what he wanted in his heart was also to trap Zhao in exchange for his own interests.

Although this foreshadowing still requires a lot of cooperation and many flaws, this is one of the few opportunities for the now weak Wei State.

Obviously, this seemingly ununited alliance has many more gaps in the interior than it seems.

Even the generals of the Chu State, who seemed to be harmless to humans and animals, were also in various military discussions at this time, and the generals who united with Han Zhiguo shouted that they couldn't move!

His purpose seems to be obvious, that is, he wants to instigate the coalition army to fight the Qin army thoroughly.

Fight to the death, the kind where the sky is dark!

To be honest, the state of Chu did not care about the gains and losses of Zhou Wangji, and even the state of Chu would rather Zhou Wangji fall into the hands of the Qin army.

The reason is very simple, if Zhou Wangji is in the hands of the Qin army and the Qin army goes east, then there will be at least two outlets, one is himself at the southern end, and the other is Zhou Wangji at the northern end. Compared to the south of the ditch, the Qin army must be more willing to go east from the north, so wouldn't the state of Chu itself be safe!

What's more, for the sake of their own safety, even if they were defeated in this battle, the three kingdoms of Zhao, Han, and Wei were bound to continue to pay attention to Zhou Wangji, and even garrison troops all year round, in order to recapture this place, which would naturally involve the attention of the Qin army.

On the contrary, if Zhou Wangji came into the hands of the coalition army, although he also divided it into four

One part, but across the country of Han, it is difficult for the state of Chu to implement effective control, at most it is just to collect some taxes.

However, in this way, the catharsis of Qin Jun's eastward exit is very likely to be transferred to his side.

After all, without the foothold of Zhou Wangji, it may not be so easy for the Qin army to attack the powerful Zhao State again. In contrast, the Qin army would obviously be more willing to face the ditches to the south.

Of course, the premise of the gains and losses of the land of Zhou Wangji is to let the Qin army consume enough troops here.

It can be said that the Four-Power Alliance, each with its own plans, can survive in this warring country where etiquette collapses, it can only be said that no country is still an innocent little white sheep, and there is no country that has not dreamed of dominating the world.

It's a pity that some are congenitally deficient, some of the middle way collapse, and now what is left, there is still the strength to compete for hegemony, and only Qin and Zhao are left.

But, even if the facts are there, no country will give up!

The weak want to become strong, the once powerful want to restore their former glory, and the already strong want to dominate the Six Kingdoms, that's just it.

Including Han Zhiguo, the reason why he took the risk of offending the three kingdoms of Zhao, Wei, and Chu, and turned to Qin, was not for interests, not for the slightest possibility of becoming stronger!

This is not only a problem of Zhou Wangji's land, although the Chinese people's attachment to land is almost the same. But King Han obviously won't be such a simple character.

In everyone's opinion, the country of Han is already a dry bone in the grave, but since King Han is the king, he naturally still wants the country of Han to come to life.

You must know that the ancestors of Han Zhiguo are not unbound. At least at the time of the division of the three families, not to mention the most powerful of the three kingdoms, but also felt that it was the richest, the geographical location close to the Central Plains, coupled with the developed iron smelting industry, made the country of Han have a great advantage among the three kingdoms. It's a pity that the kings of later generations didn't grasp it.

Naturally, King Han also wanted to restore the glory of his ancestors.

In the current situation, the only hope is that the two kingdoms of Qin and Zhao will fight to the death, and they will be inextricably beaten, and both sides will be defeated, and there will be a glimmer of hope for the country of Han in the middle of the two countries.

And if you want the two countries to fight to the death, the most important thing is balance.

Qin State lost the Battle of Changping, and King Han naturally wanted Zhao State to lose a game as well, so as not to hurt his vitality, and to continue to accept it with Qin State, and by the way, he could also make some benefits.

Why not?

It's just that King Han obviously underestimated the ambition of the Qin State and the ability of the Zhao State.
