Needless to say, Zhao Kuo's order to return the army to start the spring ploughing industry withstood a lot of pressure.

After easily taking the land of Shu, almost all of the Zhao court's court advocated taking advantage of the situation to go north, directly wielding Guanzhong, and solving the problem of Qin's henchmen.

This seems to be the Zhao court being carried away by the sudden victory, but in fact, Zhao Kuo knows that this is the sequelae of fear of Qin after being suppressed by Qin for a long time.

To put it simply, it is the Zhao State after turning over, and they are desperate to completely solve the Qin State to prevent the Qin State from revival.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with this, but it is still a little unconfident.

Of course, in the face of the raging remarks of "let the tiger return to the mountain, there will be endless troubles", Zhao Kuo also gave a clear reply: the so-called release of the tiger to the mountain, the focus is not on the tiger, but on the mountain.

Only the dense and vast mountain forests can accommodate the return of the tigers and form future troubles.

And today's Qin State, from south to north, from east to west, has been completely restricted by Zhao State, and there is no way to draw strength. Therefore, there is no such thing as "returning to the mountain".

In the current situation, the Zhao army continued to attack, which would only make the Qin people more united, thus forming a situation where the trapped beasts were still fighting.

It is better to continue to besiege it, in order to maintain sufficient military strength to resist the Zhao army, it is almost inevitable that the Qin army will be reckless.

In a short period of time, in order to deal with the danger of losing the country, the Qin people may be able to understand and persist, but if it is a long time, even if they understand again, they will inevitably feel resentful.

Once resentment arises, the contradictions will gradually be exposed.

And as the contradictions within the Qin State gradually became acute and exposed, only by making a move at that time could we get twice the result with half the effort.

Obviously, Zhao Kuo's rhetoric persuaded the high-level officials of Zhao State. Not only that, according to this theory, Zhao also formulated a strategy for advancing against Qin: the soldiers were rotated and the opportunity was waited.

Waiting for the right time, it goes without saying.

The rotation of soldiers was to regularly rotate the troops besieging the Qin army. The purpose is self-evident, that is, to make full use of the whetstone of the Qin army to build more elite troops for the Zhao State.

What do you want so many elite troops for?

You must know that Chu still has a vast land!

Historically, it took 600,000 troops for the Qin army to defeat the Chu State, and now there are no 600,000 troops in the entire Zhao State combined.

Although the strength is insufficient, but tactically, Zhao Kuo can find a way to encroach step by step.

Yes, against the vast land of Chu State, Zhao State's method is to encroach step by step. The elite troops withdrawn from the Qin-Zhao front line will be deployed on the border of Zhao and Chu after repairs. Then, through the encroachment of a small city today and a small town tomorrow, the territory of the Chu State was constantly devoured.

As for Qi Guo, if they were honest enough, Zhao Kuo didn't mind continuing to put them in the last position.

In this way, with the issuance of Zhao Kuo's royal order, hundreds of thousands of troops returned to the countryside, and the vigorous spring ploughing immediately arose in the land of Zhao.

Compared with the lively Zhao State, the Qin State at this time was a little gloomy.

As Zhao Kuo expected, in order to prevent a breakthrough by the Zhao army, maintaining enough troops to confront the Zhao army became the top priority of the Qin State.

It's just that it is not easy to use the power of one state to resist the power of one country.

Zhao Guo's side was almost effortlessly blocked, and Qin Guo was already about to use all his strength.

The army of 300,000 has almost drained the blood and bones of the entire Guanzhong, Rao is Guanzhong has thousands of miles of fertile soil, but only women and children are left in the cultivation, and there is no young and strong figure.

Cutting production is almost inevitable.

And this 300,000 army that was scraped together from east to west was a heavy burden that the Qin State could not lose. The daily eating of horses was enough to overwhelm the treasury of the Qin State.

But when the Zhao army is pressing, who would dare to reduce the troops!

The more we dare not reduce our troops, the more we will have to consume a large amount of manpower and material resources, and the more we lack manpower and material resources, the worse the results of cultivation will be, and the worse the cultivation will lead to a grain harvest, and the poor harvest will further aggravate the reduction of troops

of urgency.

Obviously, the Qin State has fallen into a vicious circle that is out of control, and as the cycle continues to deepen, the collapse of the Qin State is already predictable.

Of course, this is what Zhao Kuo and the courtiers of Zhao State are willing to see.

As a result, with the arrival of the scorching summer, the whole of China fell into a rare calm - there was no bloody fighting, no transfer of the army, and only an undercurrent surging under the calm.

Hundreds of thousands of troops of Qin and Zhao are still facing each other at Hangu Pass and Dasan Pass;

And part of the military strength of Zhao has been transferred to Huaisi County, and the Zhao army in Shu has also divided part of its troops into Chen County, ready to cut into the territory of the Chu army from different angles.

Summer finally faded, and Zhao once again ushered in a grand harvest.

With enough soldiers and food, the Zhao army immediately began to dismember the Chu State.

For a while, urgent reports and letters for help from all over the country flew into Shouchun's palace like snowflakes. It's just that the Chu army, which has not yet recovered from the defeat of last year, does not dare to leave Shouchun at all.

Seeing that the Zhao army was invading his land from all directions and in various postures, the king of Chu had no way at all.

Last year's "tribute" looked so ridiculous at this time, and the grain of 100,000 stone was even only exchanged for half a year's sleep. That's just because Zhao Jun was busy farming.

Of course, in the face of the invasion of the Zhao army, the nobles under the Chu State also showed an extremely heroic side.

After all, if the land was occupied by the Zhao State, then they, the nobles, would really be nothing.

It's a pity that without the tandem of the king of Chu, the strength of the nobles is limited after all, and in the face of the powerful Zhao army, even if the nobles of Chu do their best, they still can't stop the pace of the Zhao army's advance.

Of course, the king of Chu was not a fool, in fact, it was not that he was unwilling to gather the forces of Chu to fight against the Zhao army, and it was not that he had turned a blind eye to Zhao's aggression.

In fact, the king of Chu also waited in patience.

What to wait for?

Waiting for the advance of the Zhao army and forcing the large and small nobles of the Chu State to a dead end, the king of Chu must let them see the cruelty of the Zhao people, and must also make everyone realize that only by uniting as one and driving the Zhao people out can they have a good life.

Only by twisting the nobles up and down the Chu State into one heart can the Chu State be able to make moves and break wrists with the Zhao State that is now in full swing.

At the same time, the king of Chu did not forget to recruit and train troops, and even contacted Qin and Qi to try to make a last ditch.

It's a pity that a series of actions of the King of Chu did not escape Yu Linwei's eyes.

To be exact, there is no need for Yu Linwei to investigate more, and there are already people in the Chu Dynasty who can't wait to report the movements of the King of Chu to the Zhao State.

After all, there are still smart people among the Chu people who have seen the current situation clearly - no matter how much Qin, Chu, and Qi jump, they will not be the opponents of the Zhao State at all.

The last chance has been completely lost in the last year.

Now, even if Zhao Kuo died suddenly, he still couldn't stop Zhao from dominating the world.

Some people see the future clearly, and naturally some people are not satisfied with such a future.

Needless to say, Zi Chu, who has just become the real King of Qin for less than a year, is one of them.

Faced with Chu Guo's invitation, Zichu agreed almost without thinking about it.

Yes, the State of Qin is going to take the initiative again, uniting with its ally of the last year, the State of Chu.

Fortunately, under Wang Di's painstaking advice, the last reason still prevented Prince Chu of Qin from conducting a full-scale attack.

"Defend the north and attack the south", this is the last order given by Zi Chu, and recapturing Dasan Pass and Yangping Pass, and driving the Zhao army out of Hanzhong is the final task that Zi Chu handed over to Wang Di.

I also want to know how outrageous this task is.

Speaking of this Dasanguan alone, the strength of the Zhao army is nearly 100,000 people, and just with the 1120,000 patchwork troops under Wang Yi's hands, they are not opponents at all.

But once the king ordered it, Wang Yi could only stubbornly take the belt

The team launched an attack on the Great Scattered Pass.

It's not that Wang Yi doesn't want to refuse, it's just that in the Qin army, with the death of Meng Fu in battle, there is no general who can still be alone. Defensive battles may be fine, but offensive battles are even less competent.

In particular, it was a doomed battle.

To put it simply, even if he comes, even if he doesn't win, he won't be defeated too badly, and if he changes others, the 120,000 army that he managed to put together will probably be lost in a short time.

King Qin was already hot-headed here, but King Qi over there was unusually calm, and he didn't want to have anything to do with King Chu at all.

If it weren't for maintaining the demeanor of a great country, King Qi would not be able to throw the envoy out of the palace directly.

After decades of hard work, the 140,000 yuan of family funds that he finally saved were lost in the first battle last year, which still makes people continue to fight with Zhao Jun?

Are you crazy or am I crazy!

Very simply, the king of Chu refused the invitation of the envoy of the king of Chu. Of course, this is not unrelated to the fact that there is almost no soldier under the King of Chu.

But no matter what, Qin Chu and the two old enemies hooked up again.

It's just that the general trend has gone, and with Qin Chu's few troops and combat power now, he will not be the opponent of Zhao's army at all.

In the face of Qin Chu's alliance, Zhao Kuo didn't even have the idea of mobilizing troops to fight the fire. Look at the book

Without him, the existing forces in various places would be enough to deal with.

Before the Great Dispersion Pass, the ladders lined up by the Qin army seemed so small and clumsy, and the stone bullets accurately smashed down among the layers of ladders, and the narrow passage instantly became the tomb of the ladders of the Qin army.

Between the shattered cloud ladders collapsing, countless fragments instantly smashed the Qin army column.

With such a dense number of stone bullets, let alone attacking the city, it seems so difficult to even get close to the front of the pass.

Not to mention that even before breaking through to the pass, there was still a dense rain of arrows waiting for the Qin army. And without the servants of the arrow tower, the Qin army instantly became the live target of the Zhao army's arrows.

In the face of such a majestic pass, he can only fill it with his life.

It's just a pity that the number of Qin troops under the gate today can't withstand such consumption at all.

But even so, Wang Di, who was standing in the middle of the Chinese army, had no intention of Mingjin withdrawing his troops......
