In this battle outside Maocheng, the Qin army defeated more than 40,000 Zhao troops with a division of 50,000 and beheaded more than 20,000 people, and the rest of the Zhao army fled into the valley. Due to the muddy road ahead, the Qin army only pursued for three or five miles before stopping the pursuit and allowing the Zhao army to escape.

By defeating the might of the Zhao army, the defenders of Maocheng abandoned the city and fled, were captured by the Qin army, and attacked the city, and the defenders collapsed without a fight and were killed a lot. Subsequently, the Qin army attacked Ningcheng with great fanfare, but the defenders of Ningcheng did not dare to hold on and took the initiative to open the city and surrender.

Based on the cities of Mao and Ning, the Qin army laid down a number of small surrounding cities, but still did not find reinforcements to follow, so they set fire to the cities and continued to attack the two cities of Gonghefan.

Unlike Mao and Ning, which were only two historic cities, the Gongguo and the two Zhou vassal states, of which the Gongguo was still the Duke, and the Gonggong was once one of the protagonists of the famous "Republican" era. The Gonghe era is recognized as the beginning of China's chronicle history!

A higher vassal state means larger cities and stronger defenses. However, due to disrepair, the once fortified city could not stop the Qin army's attack. After three days of continuous attack, the city of Van was captured. After three more days, the city was also captured. Two cities were slaughtered bloodily without incident!

The next target is Mo, the former capital of the country, which is now called Chaoge. Taken by the Qin army all the way to attack the city, Chaoge's defenders took the initiative to open the city.

From Yongcheng, Shanyang to Chaoge, these areas attacked by the Qin army were actually the land of Wei. However, in this part of Hanoi, it does not matter which vassal state it belongs to, it is actually the local city lords and the big families who have lived here for a long time that are really in power; The attribution of the vassal states was simply expressed in the form of where and how much tribute was paid each year. No matter which country is in the Three Jin Dynasty, it is ruled here with the help of the hands of the city lord. They may send a few officials over, but what is the role of those who are neither literate nor strategic? It was just offered to the gods by the great clans. Even those cowardly officials, after taking office, first have to go to the local clans to get their support!

The Qin army attacked all the way, and those officials of the Wei State naturally did not have any responsibility to defend the territory, and they had already fled, and the people who defended the city were all local clans. Originally, they planned to keep it for a few days, find a middleman to talk together, offer some grain, grass, and money, and the matter would pass. As for why you want to keep it for a few days? Mainly for the convenience of bargaining, the more resolutely it is kept, the greater the loss caused to the other party, and the less things can be paid tribute. This is also learned from past experience.

But Qin Jun's performance completely exceeded the past experience. The Qin army doesn't seem to be rushing for tribute, they are really here to attack the city and seize the land! And they were not afraid of casualties, and dared to rush to the city gate and burn the city! It was not easy to burn the city gates, and almost half of the torch-bearers were about to fall halfway before rushing under the gates. But this force did not care about this, and they even dared to rush to the city gates again and again.

And this army also has a surprisingly large number of arrows, as if there are more arrows than the defenders. The rain of arrows that preceded the siege was a nightmare for the defenders. Due to the cover of the rain of arrows, the casualties of the burning of the city were much smaller - almost no one dared to brave such a rain of arrows to shoot arrows outside the city.

Before he could find an intermediary to make peace, the city was breached. In the slaughter of the city, those big clans were naturally slaughtered first, countless children of the big clans were killed, and the power of the big families was almost wiped out. During the few days they stayed in the city, they did not shy away from living in every household, and the women and children who remained behind were their concubines; Before leaving, a fire will be used to burn the castle tower.

Because the city defenses were burned and the able-bodied men were slaughtered, the cities became lambs to the slaughter. After the Qin army left, thieves would swarm and loot the city again.

The fleeing officials did not need to run far, and after crossing the Yellow River was the boundary of the Wei State. The news of the loss of the cities of Hanoi was reported to Daliang by the post guard.

At the beginning of last year, Xinling Jun stole the talisman and mobilized a large army to rescue Zhao, shocking the princes. The princes are all watching how Wei will deal with such civil strife: punishing Xinlingjun is morally disadvantageous, and not punishing Xinlingjun is unfavorable to royal power. But Xinlingjun found a way to compromise, he lived in Handan and did not return to China, but sent the general Aragaki Yan to bring back the Wei army. And the king of Wei also showed great wisdom, accepted the persuasion of the king of Zhao, and after the autumn harvest, sent all the taxes of Xinling to the king of Xinling! As for Xinlingjun's disciples, as long as they are willing to go to Handan, they will not be hindered.

In the first half of the year, due to the tight financial situation in Handan, Xinlingjun could not afford to support many customers. In the second half of the year, Handan's economy gradually recovered, and the number of visitors to Handan gradually increased. When the King of Wei decided to transport Xinling's taxes to Handan as usual and hand them over to Xinling Jun, those disciples volunteered to escort the ship to Handan.

Without Xinlingjun and his disciples, King Wei also began to let go of his hands and feet. He secretly made a covenant with the state of Chu. After the autumn harvest, the king of Wei ordered the Wei army to assemble in Xingkou, preparing to immediately send troops across the river and sweep the entire Hanoi as soon as the Chu state made a move in Nanyang. However, due to the failure of the plan of Chu and Han to jointly attack Nanyang, the king of Wei did not dare to cross the river easily. Tens of thousands of troops were stationed in Xingkou for almost two months. As a result, not only did they not have the opportunity to cross the river to attack Hanoi, but instead let the Qin army of 100,000 people cross the river and clean up some of the remaining small cities in Nanyang.

The king of Wei still remembers that twenty years ago, when the Qin army suddenly occupied Kaifeng, he had not yet mastered the government, and at the instigation of a group of ministers, he handed over almost all of Wei's cities in Nanyang, Hanoi. Then, the main Korean city in Nanyang was also captured by the Qin army, triggering the Battle of Changping between Qin and Zhao.

If only now...... King Wei felt pain in his heart when he thought about it! What can I do now? Naturally, it is a position of strength to negotiate with the Qin army: there is a kind of you who will attack my beam! If you can't attack it, then get out of here! Just like Handan, the Qin army stayed outside Handan for a year, didn't he also leave in disgrace! He is confident that if the Qin army wants to attack Daliang, it will not be able to attack it in a year, and there will be heavy losses!

The biggest mistake that year was to let Wuji take over Mangmao's troops, and as a result, quite a lot of military officers got involved with Wuji, causing a lot of passivity for themselves. At that time, if you let Mangmao hold on a little longer......

The Battle of Huayang was fought by Mangmao with the army, and the result was like that! It seems that it is not as good as Mowgli.

But in any case, Mowgli should not be allowed to show his face. As soon as he comes out, he will definitely attract a group of people to do things for him and leave me aside! Hum! Since then, he has a long memory, no general, Xiangguo, no position to him, just let him be the king's brother. In this way, he didn't stop, stole the talisman and took the soldiers to Handan!

But you didn't expect it, in fact, I asked you to steal the talisman! Otherwise, I would have put the talisman in the bedroom, and I would have found Ru Ji to pamper me? …… That little slut!

I have already sent troops to rescue Handan, I asked them to stop in Dangyin, I just let you steal my talisman, so that you can't stay in Wei State...... I didn't expect you to destroy that Jin contempt by the way. You sing and harmonize at the court, thinking I don't know? I already knew! But I'm not going to break it. Wouldn't it be beautiful to kill two birds with one stone now!

King Wei was unrestrained, jumping from one question to another, and thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile on his face.

Since Xinlingjun left, King Wei often had a smile on his face, and he seemed to have changed and become brave and decisive.

Long Yangjun, who was accompanying him, saw this smile and knew that King Wei remembered the pride of Zhiqi Xinlingjun in his heart, and sighed secretly in his heart.

In the past 20 years, King Wei has kept his promise to Long Yangjun and has not found other male favorites, but in recent years, he has not shared a bed with Long Yangjun, who is in his forties. Long Yangjun still accompanies him every day, and can even enter the harem with him. Since King Wei began to favor women, Long Yangjun also had some good looks in the harem, and King Wei turned a blind eye to this, only secretly wrote down these good things, and no longer favored them; I still thought in my heart that if one of them got pregnant, I would give her to Long Yangjun.

King Wei returned to the main hall from the imperial court, took off his court clothes, changed into civilian clothes, and then pointed to a large pile of documents on the case and said: "I have to work with you again!" ”

Long Yangjun also sat down skillfully in front of the case, and an attendant had already served sake, and the two of them drank it, and they approved the official document on the side of the case. Longyang Jun read, and the King of Wei dictated the instructions, which were then recorded by the attendants and handed over to the various lawsuits to handle.

It was busy until the afternoon that these documents were completed. Long Yangjun said: "Xinling Jun has retired, Wang Ke ordered Wei Xiang to take care of political affairs to divide Wang Lao!" ”

King Wei said: "The widow has been in charge of the government for 20 years, and he does not fake others. I don't want to be in power without a taboo, and I don't want to belong to others, but I want to share it with you! You quit your hard work! ”

Long Yangjun said: "How dare you! ”

King Wei said: "100,000 troops, gathered in Xingkou, it has been February, it should be dispersed, and it should be returned to the war, may the king have a duel!" ”

Long Yangjun said: "100,000 troops, but the lotus ten days of the glue, now it is February, the public money is raised, the daily food is ten thousand stones, and the warehouse is empty!" It is better to let it enter Luoyang, and the grain will be in other countries. ”

King Wei said: "I have an agreement with Chu, he enters Nanyang, and I enter Hanoi." How to enter Luoyang? ”

Long Yangjun said: "Wei was summoned by the Son of Heaven to enter Luova Qin. Now the army of the princes is gathered in Luoyang, just entering Luoye. ”

King Wei said: "The first battle of King Han was unfavorable, and he did not send troops. Zhao Ren also did not come out. I went out of the army into Luoyang, would I rather be laughed at? ”

Long Yangjun said: "There are few soldiers in Luoyang, and I don't have a plan. If the Wei army arrives, he will be the master, and everything will be done! ”

King Wei said: "According to what I have seen, there is no gap to cut down the river, so it is better to return to the army to prepare for spring ploughing." ”

Long Yangjun said: "No." The king conquers the people to fight, the people gather and the king does not fight, and the king will reconquer the people? The Son of Heaven has no jokes, and the Son of Heaven speaks, then the history books, the work recites, and the scholars call it. The king's order to fight without fighting is a play. In the past, the king of Youyou played the princes with beacon fire, and the country was ruined, but he was not careful! ”
