Yes, the initiative to attack the Chu army failed again.

Even failed in the hands of a man who was not famous.

The only good news is that because the Qin army has been operating in Chu for a short time, they are not as familiar with the terrain as the Chu army.

Although the Chu army was defeated in the field, it failed to fight a war of annihilation. Also because of the alternation of power in the Qin State, Meng Fu did not pursue the fleeing Chu army.

With dense woods and water networks, although the Chu army was defeated, it did not damage the fundamentals. There were more than 100,000 troops, but only less than 20,000 were left by the Qin army.

However, it took nearly a month from planning to troop transfer, but the rout of the Chu army took less than three days.

This really embarrassed Zhao Kuo, who was still studying the possibility of the battle in Handan.

I haven't felt it here, but I was told that it was done, can you stand it?

After this battle, Zhao Kuo also had to reassess the strength of Chu's ally.

And with the death of the Chu army, the Zhao army also had to shrink the defensive line, and spent a lot of grain and straw to mobilize troops, almost just turning around in Shangdang and Yingchuan County, and then was transferred back to Handan.

There was no way, Zhao Kuo and his Zhao State were not ready to carry out at the same time as Qin and Wei.

Similarly, in the case that his own internal peace was not yet at peace, the Qin State was actually unwilling to fight a decisive battle with the Zhao State over this.

Therefore, on the basis that neither country had the intention of a decisive battle, the battle that took place in the autumn of 254 BC finally ended with the Chu army losing more than 20,000 soldiers.

Only the injured world of the state of Chu has been achieved.

Although Zhao Guo was a little surprised by the rapid defeat of Chu State, in fact, Zhao Kuo was still happy to accept such a result. After all, apart from the loss of some grain and grass, there is not much loss.

Just think of it as a field exercise.

Of course, Wei was equally happy to accept such an outcome.

For the strength that Qin State showed again, as one of Qin's secret allies, Wei State was still very happy.

This also made Zhao Guo dare not speak of a decisive battle easily, and even Zhao Kuo couldn't help but sigh: "There are so many Qin generals!"

Isn't it! Just finally walked a white start, and killed Sima in the city, seeing that there was only one general left in the Qin State, Wang Di, but he didn't expect that after only a few years of hard work, there would be another Meng Fu at this time.

When Meng Qian finally can't kill anymore, counting the days, Wang Jian will almost have good experience and can take over the position of general, and Wang Jian will have his son Wang Ben after him...... ap.

The aggressive spirit of the old Qin people in their bones and blood is destined to make it impossible for the Qin army to lack generals who can fight.

Of course, Zhao Kuo also understands that just a few famous generals can't stop the historical trend of Haohao soup. However, the emergence of famous generals can greatly advance or even delay the process of history.

Don't you see, in real history, how long did the famous general Li Mu delay for Zhao Guo?

And Xiang Yan, the famous general of the Yan State, also added a lot of troubles to the unification of my Qin Shi Huangdi.

Zhao Kuo, who had palpitations, even ordered his secret guards to investigate a person named "Guo Kai" in the territory of Zhao State.

Of course, Zhao Kuo didn't want to use it himself, as the "first" general of the Warring States, of course Zhao Kuo hoped that he could go to the Qin State and give the generals of the Qin State a fatal blow!

And the biggest beneficiary of this battle is naturally undoubtedly the grandson Chu of Qin.

A hearty victory is enough to wipe out no amount of mistrust.

Especially Zi Chu's appointment is still Meng Fu, this young general, at the beginning of the battle, Meng Fu's tactics of luring the enemy into the depths really made everyone sweat.

Even, the letter requesting a change of generals inside and outside the Qin State was sent to the desk of the grandson Chu like snowflakes.

Fortunately, Meng Fu was an auxiliary minister left by his grandfather (King Qin Zhaoxiang), how could he be a mediocre person.

So, under pressure from all sides, Zichu is still strong

The use of the ground is determinant.

In the end, Meng Fu did not live up to the trust of the Qin prince Chu, and won a decisive victory in the battle against Chu at the lowest cost. This undoubtedly caused an uproar in the Qin government and the opposition. While praising General Meng Fu's might, he also praised the unique vision of this grandson Chu.

In any case, with the victory of the Qin army, the position of Zichu Taisun can be regarded as secure.

Of course, this is far from the end, but only the beginning.

A bunch of internal affairs in the Qin State were still waiting for Zichu to take care of, and Meng Fu invested in the construction of heavy cavalry after the class returned to the court.

Everyone knows that the temporary silence is only for further fighting in the future.

And taking advantage of the time when the Qin State finally died down, Zhao Kuo once again ordered someone to sweep away the threat behind him, which was no longer a threat-Lin Hu's people.

To put it simply, when the Zhao State destroyed the Yan State, it did not completely clean up the Hu people area adjacent to the Yan State.

It's not that Zhao Kuo forgot about it, but that he was too impatient to go south at that time, and Zhao Guo naturally didn't have time to clear Lin Hu, who had already been beaten by Yan Guo and didn't dare to raise his head.

Winter goes to autumn, in the spring of 253 years before the park, Zhao Kuobai Li Mu is the main general, Zhou Qi and Zhao Wei are the deputy generals, leading an army of 100,000 people, from the north of the thistle to the north, with a thunderous attitude, sweeping the grassland tribes, the Hu people have not been able to stop it!

In addition, seven new cities were built with the land of the Hu people and merged into Jibei County!

At this point, Zhao State unified the north, and there were no worries, it can be said that according to the northern continent and the south, the general trend of the world will become a success!

At this time, the trend of the world is also, Zhao is in the north, Qin is roaring in the west, and Qi and Chu are shrinking in the southeast, and Wei is looking up to Qin and Zhao is in the Central Plains.

Zhao has the vast land in the north, and Qin has the fertile land of Bashu and Guanzhong; Zhao Youlianpo and Li Muzhi are wise generals, and Qin has hundreds of thousands of soldiers with armor; It is not yet known who killed the deer!

However, Zhao Kuo's words of "the foundation of eternity" have spread all over the country!

It's also time to think about your next move.

Soon, several giants of Zhao were also called into the palace in the wind and rain.

A discussion about the fate of several countries was born.

"The country of Qi is surrounded by me on three sides, so take the opportunity to take the land of the country of Qi! It's not too late to fight with Qin Weizao again!" Lian Po said with a resolute face: "The land of Wei, although it is known as the rivers and mountains on the surface, but the country of Qi is close to the sea, but the salt industry alone is enough to reach it. Qi people don't have time to use it, and it just happens to be used by me!"

"General! Although the country of Qi is good, there are tens of thousands of people with armor! There are also strong cities such as Linzi and Jimo to defend, and it is not easy to get!" When Li Mu heard this, he shook his head and said, "And if I attack Han Wei, I only need to break through the Xinling Jun's department of Zhou Yi first, then I can reach the Great Liang of Wei, and the strength of the Wei army is only 100,000 so far.

"However, if our army attacks Linzi, then I am afraid that the Qin State will launch an attack on our weak Yingchuan County by the Wei State! If this is the case, then our army will be in the predicament of fighting on two fronts." Li Mu continued.

"What about fighting on two fronts, with the strength of our army, the oil is indispensable?" Lian Po continued to ask rhetorically.

Without waiting for Li Mu to respond again, Lu Buwei on the side immediately interjected: "The realm of Yingchuan, contact the party, and the key to the east of the Qin State, must not be lost.!"

"No, no, no!" Pingyuanjun immediately joined the "Battle Band", and his voice full of anger immediately sounded: "Although Yingchuan County is more important, if you can get the Qi Kingdom, even if you lose it, it will be worth it!"

"When two great powers fight, they will be hurt! ......」

"The land of the three jins, the first to protect the ......"

Several civil servants and military generals in front of them started a new round of controversy, and no one could convince anyone.

True, after 253 B.C., the entire battle scene was almost recorded in an eerie peace.

Of course, under the turbulent situation, the Qin army actually began to assemble silently. It is precisely because of such a secret passage that there is this rather fierce court debate.

Obviously, Zhao Kuo's four-member cabinet is now divided into two factions.

Pingyuan Jun and Lian are quite a faction, thinking that they should follow the story of the destruction of Yan that day, use Yingchuan County to entangle the Qin army with the Wei State, and lead the army to decisively take the Qi State and obtain the benefits of its sea salt, thus forming a comprehensive crushing of the national strength of the Qin State! And then occupy the initiative in the final battle!

And Li Mu and Lü Buwei are the other faction, and the land of Yingchuan will not be able to hold out until the Zhao army breaks through the Qi State!

The Qi State is different from the Yan State, not only has many cities, but also has a large population, and it has the advantage of salt. Even if the Qin army suffered losses after the defeat of Yingchuan County, it would definitely not let Zhao continue to attack Qi, and in this way, Zhao would definitely fall into a difficult situation.

It should be said that the ideas of both sides have shortcomings, as well as advantages.

It is worth affirming that both factions are for the good of Zhao Guo! That's for sure.

Of course, there is also a reason why the two factions put forward completely ideological opinions.

The reason why Pingyuan Jun and Lian Po wanted to attack Qi State in a hurry to gain absolute superiority over Qin was not because they didn't know the risks, but because they were already old, even if the thriving Zhao State injected a lot of youthful vitality into Ping Yuan Jun and Lian Po, but after all, they couldn't resist the invasion of time.

They are old, they have come all the way from the precarious Zhao State, and they want to see the Zhao State dominate the world in their lifetime!

They also believed that under the leadership of King Zhao, the two counties of Yingchuan, which had a complete defense, were enough to resist possible dangers, and this small risk was nothing at all!

And Li Mu and Lu Buwei, as the leaders of the Qingzhuang faction, should take risks, and Zhao Kuo and Lian Po have already helped them take them. They have enough time to accompany Zhao Guo to continue to be strong, and the concept of stability in everything has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

In a word: steady and unwavering, victory is ours.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with this, but giving up danger also means giving up opportunity! And if you give up the opportunity to the opponent again and again, I'm afraid that stability will become unstable!

Zhao Kuo listened to their arguments, and gradually counted in his heart!
