Wang Yu asked, "Where is the Hanoi army?" ”

Meng Fu said: "The Hanoi army of 10,000 people is still based on Li Cheng. The Zhao army was so large that it was surrounded on all sides, but there was no battle. ”

Wang Di said: "Zhao Jun died, and there was an accident. Guanzhong reinforcements are coming, and they can arrive in ten days. ”

Meng Fu said: "He Zhao is a helper, including also." Now that he is dead, what help will the husband have? He said that he should have more food and straw, and less soldiers. Take advantage of their suspicions and strike at them, and they will be broken. ”

Wang Yu said: "Will the plan be released?" ”

Meng Fu said: "Lucheng to Licheng is only fifty miles, its road is narrow, I hit it with elite 10,000 people, inside and outside the attack, it must be broken." As for the soldiers of the bronze dragon, there are more suspicious soldiers to confuse them, and when they retreat and chase them, they will be broken. ”

Wang Yu said: "Good. With you, do you dare to attack Licheng? ”

Meng Fu said: "I am willing to obey the general's order!" ”

It is not easy to make up 10,000 elites from the 100,000 people in the whole army, because most of them are injured, and even if they are not injured, after experiencing such a brutal battle, their spirits are a little trance, and even crazy. Fortunately, when Meng Fu was already adjusting the defense line of the whole army, he noticed these problems and divided the soldiers into three lines, among which the most elite front-line soldiers selected thirty battalions and used them as mobile forces and used them intensively. The 3,000 men who were sent to garrison the three cities were sent from these thirty battalions. After finishing the army the next day, Meng Fu selected 10 battalions from these 30 battalions, and then selected 10 battalions from other armies that were in good mental condition but were somewhat wounded and sick, and formed an attack force to form a detachment and organize themselves at the foot of Beishan with great fanfare. Meng Fu personally set off with the front team. Halfway through, it was already dark, and he camped on the spot. Follow-up troops followed suit one after another. Departing the next day, arriving at Lucheng Castle on the same day. The defenders of Lucheng have set up camp for them at the mouth of the valley. Mong sent out patrols to occupy the high mountains on both sides.

Without waiting for the whole army to arrive, Meng Fu immediately took a few doctors up the mountain, and the deployment of the Zhao army in the Licheng Valley was in full view. The sporadic fires everywhere exposed both their location and their strength. The valley is narrow, and there is no chance to use ingenuity, so it can only be pushed flat in waves. But Meng Fu thought that if the first few battalions of the Zhao army were defeated, the Zhao army would collapse! The rest of the time is the pursuit.

The next day, Meng Fu led his troops to advance for another twenty miles, and the patrol post in front did not encounter the patrol post of the Zhao army, and Meng Fu suddenly became nervous. He told his troops to stop advancing and occupy the surrounding high ground as much as possible. Then he ordered the patrol to spy in the distance. In the afternoon, the sentry reported that he had patrolled to the Zhao military camp, and there was no one in the camp, only an empty camp! Meng Fu was shocked and led a battalion to break into the Zhao camp, and sure enough, it was an empty camp. He transferred back all the troops who had unjustly climbed the high mountains and completely occupied the positions of the Zhao army. Called open the gate of Lê City, inside is the Qin army of Hanoi. When I asked them about the situation, they had no combat experience and couldn't say why, only that the Zhao army was frequently mobilized under the city, and it seemed that they were preparing to attack the city. They were afraid to guard the city, and did not dare to care for anything else. Meng Fu was very helpless: the battle that had been carefully prepared ended like this. He continued to send patrol sentry agents, and sure enough, he found the figure of the Zhao army's rearguard thirty miles away. Meng Fu did not know the situation and did not dare to continue the pursuit, so he set up camps around Li Cheng. At the same time, someone was sent to report to Changping.

As soon as the person he sent to report left, an envoy came to convey Wang Di's order: the Zhao army in the direction of Tongcheng had retreated, and the Zhao army in the direction of Li Cheng might also retreat, so that Meng Fu did not have to pursue and withdrew the troops in Li Cheng and Hanoi as soon as possible.

Meng Fu conveyed Wang Di's order to the defenders of Licheng, and the next day the defenders of Licheng began to retreat, Meng Fu waited in place for a day, and saw that the Zhao army was still continuing to retreat, so he also obeyed the order to withdraw to Shangdang.

When Mengfu advanced towards Licheng, Wang Di had already ordered the Qin army of Nanjun, which was still in Dongling, to withdraw to Gaodu. Nanjun suffered great losses in the Shangdang and did not gain much, but he relied on his desperate efforts to resist Zhao Kuo's final charge and won the evaluation of "Ying". Most of the soldiers in Nanjun were injured and are recuperating from their wounds in Gaodu. Therefore, the withdrawal of the Nanjun soldiers to Gao did not attract the attention of others.

Going to Tongjun was Wang Di's own camp. He took his battalion to climb the high mountain north of Tunliu, and found that the Zhao army of Tongyun had begun to retreat in the direction of Taiyuan. When the Zhao army retreated, Wang Ji sent people to Tongyun to find someone to inquire, and it turned out that there were rumors in the Zhao army that the Qin army had concentrated a million troops in Changping, and more than 400,000 Zhao troops had been completely wiped out. Wang Yi secretly laughed when he heard it: how many troops Changping can accommodate, Zhao Jun has not yet known.

The two Zhao armies retreated, the Qin army in Hanoi and the Qin army in Mengfu had returned, and Wang Yu announced the decree of the king of Qin: all the Guanzhong army stayed in Shangdang, and those who were willing to move to Shangdang in other battalions were all given a knight, and they had land and houses.

There are about two or three thousand Qin troops in the northern and upper counties who are willing to stay, and the Qin troops in the southern counties are still willing to go back: they are fed up with the cold and dry air in the north, and they should go home as soon as possible to eat a bowl of rice and rice and pour some fish soup, which has become the call in everyone's hearts.

Wang Ling took over the defense of the Shangdang. The largest and most important city in the seventeen cities of Shangdang is north of Changping and surrounded by mountains: Changzi, Tunliu, Lucheng, and Xiangyuan. Now these four cities are almost uninhabited, and the fields and houses are overgrown with weeds. Wang Ling left 10,000 soldiers in the Guanzhong Tuntian here.

Both sides of the Changping Danshui River were suitable areas for farming, but now they have been completely destroyed by the war, and the land needs to be reclaimed and houses built. The two or three thousand men left behind in the northern land and the upper county (along with the hundreds of women and children who were given to them) lived along the Danshui.

Tongjun, Licheng, and further afield Nishi were the only way to Taiyuan and Handan, each with a thousand men stationed there. It has not suffered much from military disasters and has maintained a basic population. The garrison here is mainly responsible for military work.

Along the Shaoshui River Valley, there are a series of castles. Despite a series of battles in Changping, they did not seem to understand the situation, and Wang Ling had to send troops to recover them one by one.

As for the farther places, such as Yanhe, Yicheng, and Yushe, they were unable to occupy them, so they could only let them go.

The Nanjun army repaired in Gaodu for two days, took the wounded and went to Mengjin, where they had to cross the river for thousands of miles before they could enter Nanjun. After arriving in Nangun, it will take several days to walk to reach the respective county towns.

At the same time that the Nanjun army left Gaodu, the Qin army of Bashu began to retreat to Hedong in batches through the Duanshi-Yicheng avenue, while the soldiers of Beidi retreated to Gaodu. After they crossed the river, they passed through the Hanhan Valley and entered Qin. Although the two armies traveled different routes, they would both return home via Xianyang. The Bashu army, which has the farthest road, has to walk for three long months on the road.

Shangjun is the closest, although it is a thousand miles away at the farthest, but if it is close, as long as you cross the river from Pishi, you will enter Shanggun. They will be the last to leave.

The Qin army in Changping was leaving, while Pusaka Jinkou was concentrated with a large number of prisoners who had arrived from various counties in the Inner History. After crossing the Yellow River, they were set up camp around Kasaka. When Sima Jin and Pi Juan arrived at Pusaka, Pusaka had already reached tens of thousands of prisoners. According to Xianyang's order, these prisoners have been equipped with officials at all levels. The officials who temporarily served as the five doctors and the public servants came to Kasaka early to take over their troops.

Since the Battle of Changping, Pusaka has borne too much military transportation and exchanges, and the burden is extremely heavy. According to the method discussed by Pi Wan and Sima Jin, the Qin army, which crossed the river from Puban, rested for a day, gathered the troops, and immediately advanced towards Pi's. Sima Jin led the pro-camp directly to Pi's.

The mobilization of the Qin State was extremely efficient, and it took only ten days for 50,000 prisoners to cross the Yellow River and reach Pishi.

From the time Qin conscripted and sent prisoners, the princes kept a close eye on the movements of this army. Now that it is found that the Qin army is concentrated in the Pi family, the princes are shocked: this is obviously Changping has not been addicted, and he has to fight Taiyuan!

Sima Jin asked Pi Shi to order a notification to Fenshang Zhucheng to prepare 500,000 stone of grain for the Qin army to fry millet.

South Korea's Pingyang Shouyang Chengjun conspiracy provoked the battle of Qin and Zhao Changping, and finally fought like this, Qin not only was not weakened, but also the victorious cat was better than the tiger, stronger than before, Yang Chengjun naturally did not dare to have a "no" word, all should be inherited. Fenshang Koreans don't fry millet? It's easy to do, Hedong gives technical guidance, and Fenshang only needs to produce women.

In the counties of Fenshang, the distributed grain and women were all concentrated in Pingyang, and Yang Chengjun personally supervised the fried millet! But there are those who don't pass the quality test, but Yang Chengjun is asking! Yang Chengjun asked a little about the movements of the Qin army, and Pi Shiling replied unabashedly: "It will be Taiyuan!" Yang Chengjun listened, and his whole body was cold.

After three days of repairing in Pi's family, the Koreans on Fen could already see the figure of the Bashu Qin army on the mountain. Sima Jin ordered the whole army to set off in turn, with 10,000 men in the front, and marched up along the Fenshui. Around Fenshui, there are many cities and merchants. And the army passed through it, and did not commit any offense in the autumn, and traveled fifty miles, that is, they encamped in the city. The elders of the city also knew the interest and took the initiative to work the army with wine and meat.

The second army of 10,000 men, led by Sima Jin himself, advanced along the vanguard route. In five days, 50,000 people from the Pi family were up, and the striker had arrived in Binh Duong. Sima Jin also led the next 10,000 Qin troops to Pingyang the next day. However, the remaining 30,000 Qin troops did not continue north to Pingyang, but crossed the Fenshui from Xintian and turned to the direction of Yicheng. The Qin army, which came down from the mountain, turned to the Lianshui River valley and advanced in the direction of Anyi.

Front-line troops moved frequently and crowded almost all roads. The king of Qin told everyone not to be in a hurry, and waited for the Beidi army to cross the river, and then crossed the river from Mengjin. He also took advantage of the free time of the Beidi Army to cross the river, summoned Li Bing and Meng Fu to Yicheng, and condoled with them, and discussed future actions with the two again.

No one cared about the wounded camp of the Zhao army, and the wounded and sick men were stroked, and some of them were better and able to struggle to move, and the Qin army allowed them to return on their own, but did not give them food, and whether Zhao soldiers could go back alive or not depended on their own ability to survive in the wild. The rest of the people were cold and hungry, the healthy people could not bear it, not to mention the seriously injured and sick, all of them died. The Shangjun Army, who had not yet left, was asked to assist in the incineration of the corpses, and more than 100,000 corpses were burned for several days.
