The news of Chu's great victory and whale swallowing Langya spread all over the world.

On the side of Qi State, the wind is surging, and the undercurrent is endless.

On the Qin side, although it is at peace with Chu for the time being, and Chu definitely wants to stay out of the matter and sit back and watch Qin, Wei, Han and other countries fight with Zhao...... But all Qin people know it in their hearts - Qin Chu's great enmity is unforgettable.

The soldiers and civilians of the Chu State suffered heavy casualties under the iron hooves of the Qin army.

The previous king of Chu was forced to die in the Qin army.

Xiong Wuliang's ancestor Quyang Jun Xiong Wei died under the sword of the Qin people during the First Danyang War.

Whether it's for national hatred or personal hatred...... Between Qin and Chu, sooner or later there will be a battle of life and death!

Therefore, when the Qin State heard the news that 'the Yue Kingdom surrendered without a fight, and the Miliang soldiers did not fight bloody', they were shocked, and the collective was the expression of the dead parents.

As for Wei and South Korea, they are in mixed moods-

Wei Wanghei's face changed gloomy, and he hesitated for a long time before he slowly sighed: "Widow...... Widow ...... Ay! ”

If you know today, why bother in the first place!

Back then, no matter how powerful and ambitious the Chu State was, it would definitely go to the Qin State first to compete...... Now that I think about it, why would I have to wade into this troubled water?

didn't get any benefits, and it also aroused the resentment of the Chu people.

Tens of thousands of troops were also lost......

Cough!

That's fine.

No matter how invincible Xiong Wuliang is, he must first seek revenge from the Qin State...... Before the Qin State was completely defeated, the Wei State would definitely be safe.

With such thoughts, Wei Si's heart was a little more peaceful.

At this moment, South Korea, Xinzheng - Han Wangcang's mental journey is also similar to Wei Si!

It is said that the Qin State and the Wei and Han countries were originally a feud with constant warfare.

However, for the sake of Chu, they formed an alliance.

And after Xiong Wuliang's victory in Yue this time, the Triple Alliance of Qin, Wei and Han became unprecedentedly close!

……

Zhao Guo, Handan.

In Zhao Wangyong's palace, there are no palace maids singing and dancing, and there is no luxurious decoration.

This person's dormitory has the most unique costume in the palace of the current king - a whole wall, hung with a heavy map of the mountains and rivers of the world, in which at the junction of Zhao and Qin, hundreds of dotted lines, horizontal lines, and arrows of unknown meaning are densely drawn with charcoal...... There are countless place names, rivers, and even mountains that are not originally shown on the map.

Obviously, Zhao Yong had faced this map countless times, pacing back and forth, and conceiving his plan to attack Qin all night.

As for the location of the state of Chu on this 'map of the mountains and rivers of the world', to the south, there are also a lot of handwriting that have been added recently.

Among them, the two big black characters of 'Quyang' were circled one after another by Zhao Yong with charcoal, which was particularly eye-catching on the entire map.

On this wall is this formidable map, and on the other wall, there is a huge military flag with the character 'Zhao' - the ancient characters are majestic and solemn, and the big characters reveal a strong aura of solemnity.

In addition, there is a long case, two rows of shelves full of bamboo slips and Quyang paper, a pair of armor racks with the armor of King Zhao, and a sword rack with six or seven swords on it.

Some of these swords are the swords of a prominent ancestor of Zhao State, some are precious ancient swords collected by Zhao Yong, and there is an iron sword that looks simple but is heavily wounded in battle—it is exactly what Zhao Yong used to fight on the battlefield.

Oh yes, and there's a nondescript bed in this dormitory......

It is worthy of King Zhao Wuling with the word 'martial' in his nickname!

His dormitory - at first glance, it is difficult for ordinary people to tell whether this is a king's dormitory or a shogunate......

……

At this moment, the news of 'Chu State's subduation of Langya' has not yet come, but Zhao Yong's face is not good-looking!

The attack on the Qin State is still over in the end!

It was not a failure - after all, under the personal command of Zhao Yong, the Zhao army fought wildly, killing countless soldiers of Qin, Wei and Han, breaking many cities in a row, and robbing a lot of cattle, horses, livestock, goods, food, and human slaves......

However, after all, Zhao Guo has accumulated strength for many years, and he can't bear it, and now he suddenly made a move, and he originally wanted to be a blockbuster, taking advantage of the defenselessness of other countries, and taking a bite of fat......

According to Zhao Yong's plan before the war - in this battle, even if he can't destroy the Qin State, at least he must drive the Qin people to the Longxi grassland, so that the Great Zhao Whale can swallow thousands of miles of passes!

Outcome......

The strategic purpose was not achieved.

The most unexpected first wave of the offensive did not achieve the most perfect results!

Zhao Yong's face was unwavering. And in front of him, there were several men dressed as generals, who were talking endlessly-

“…… Our army retreated in an orderly manner, and the whole army had safely withdrawn to the territory of Dazhao. Erchen will be divided into five batches, and the soldiers will be sent home, and the rest of the chariots, large ordnance and other items, as well as the remaining military rations, arrows, etc., will be counted within ten days and sent to the Jinyang camp! Zhao Zhang, the eldest son of the armor, reported as such.

After all, the vast majority of the Zhao army were soldiers, and they were not standing troops like the Quyang New Army.

The so-called soldier is to work as a farmer in his spare time and as a soldier in wartime.

Now that the war against Qin is over, the soldiers are back, and they naturally want to let them go home.

Jinyang is an important city of Zhao State, and it is convenient and safe to store the remaining materials after the war.

Zhao Yong nodded slowly, approving Zhao Zhang's arrangement.

Zhao Zhang was encouraged, and continued: "As for the captured war horses, livestock, goods, grain, and population...... The sons and daughters still don't know how to deal with it properly, and ask the royal father to decide! ”

As soon as the words fell, another swarthy man in armor and without a crown beside Zhao Zhang coughed and arched his hand at King Zhao.

Zhao Yong looked at the man: "General Lou Xuan?" ”

Zhao Guo's general Lou reported in a deep voice: "Lin Hu, Lou Fu and other cavalry of the Hu tribe, the last general also ordered them to go back. ”

"In this battle, the Hu cavalry contributed a lot."

"They want livestock, food, and women as a reward—the general doesn't know what to do, and he wants the king to decide!"

Zhao Yong groaned-

After the Hufu cavalry shooting, the Zhao State and the grassland tribes had a basic cultural identity, coupled with the growing national strength and military strength of the Zhao State, and Zhao Yong himself also had a super personality charm - the grassland tribes such as Lin Hu and Lou Fu volunteered to be the eagle dogs of the Zhao State.

First, they can raise horses and graze cattle for the Zhao people.

Second, they can also provide the best cavalry for Zhao State.

It was precisely because of the allegiance of these skilled Hu cavalry that the military strength of the Zhao State was unprecedentedly strong. Many Hu cavalry even served as equestrian instructors and trained Zhao cavalry in the Zhao army, which eventually greatly improved the combat effectiveness of the Zhao cavalry corps.

Of course, the allegiance of these steppe people is not free.

When Zhao fought a war with a foreign country, it was of course natural to recruit soldiers from its own people—it was necessary to pay a price for recruiting troops from the Hu tribes that were attached to the grasslands.

In fact, what the grassland people want is nothing more than that-

Grain!

Iron and bronze!

Money!

Livestock!

Tea! Salt!

Population!

Now, listening to the request of the Hu tribe relayed by Lou Xuan's mouth, Zhao Yong's brows furrowed slightly, obviously in deep thought......
