The pass in Shangdang County fell quickly, and the Huai army annexed most of Shangdang County without much effort. At the same time, Xu Chao ordered the army to guard the various mountain passes and wait for the soldiers of Qin and Zhao to retreat.

The snowstorm came and went quickly, and after three days, the temperature rose and the ice and snow melted quickly. The besieged armies of Qin and Zhao also couldn't wait to withdraw.

However, in the few days when the ice and snow melted, the army of Huai had already occupied most of Shangdang County, and only a small part of the army of Qin and Zhao had fled, and countless people had died of freezing and disease.

The 400,000 Zhao army and the 200,000 Qin army successfully escaped back under the siege and interception of the Huai State, which can be described as heavy losses. The Huai State broke the 600,000 army of Qin and Zhao in the first war, and all countries in the world were worried about it.

Shangdang County also fell into the hands of Huai State, and the vitality of Zhao State and Qin State was greatly damaged, especially Zhao State, 400,000 troops, only more than 100,000 people were left to flee back, and Zhao State was almost a family wearing linen and filial piety.

At the same time, the reason for the defeat of Zhao and Qin also spread, when I heard that the war had reached a critical moment, I saw that the Huai army was about to be annihilated, but suddenly it snowed heavily, and Qin and Zhao were frozen to death A large number of soldiers, but Huai took the opportunity to occupy Shangdang. Therefore, there are many rumors that the destiny is in Huai.

It's really because the heavy snow in the sky is too bizarre, you must know that this time is just the beginning of autumn, and the season is completely wrong. At this time, these vassal states thought of the several miracles that had appeared on Huai Guo, and they all became suspicious.

So these vassal states blocked these news one after another, but it was said that Qin and Zhao failed to ambush Huai, and were discovered by Huai, and they were taken by surprise, which led to the fiasco of the two countries.

Even the State of Zhao and the State of Qin said the same, and they did not dare to admit that it was the heavy snow that saved the Huai State, and at the same time made them suffer heavy losses. If you really say that, it is a disguised recognition that Huai Guo has obtained the mandate of heaven.

Qin and Zhao were defeated, and the Huai army did not take the opportunity to attack Zhao, after annexing Korea, there was still Wei between Zhao and Huai, and directly attacking Zhao would stretch the Huai line, and even if the land of Zhao was captured, it would be very difficult to hold it.

Xu Chao left a part of the army in Shangdang County to garrison, and then led the rest of the army back to Huai.

The state of Zhao experienced this great defeat, with heavy losses in population and vitality, and the same was true for the state of Qin. In order to fight against Huai, the two countries became more and more closely connected, and at the same time, Yan and Wei were also frightened by the strength of Huai, and they also began to warm up with Qin and Zhao.

The existence of Huai made all the countries in the world tremble. After defeating the Qin-Zhao coalition army, the Huai State did not engage in a large-scale war, and all the countries were very vigilant at this time, if the Huai State attacked, it was likely to trigger a chain reaction.

Although Huai was not afraid of the alliance of the four countries, it was also difficult to defeat, and more importantly, it was likely to cost a lot of money but in vain. On the contrary, after the Huai State is dormant, it will not be long before these countries will make trouble on their own, and when the time comes, as long as the Huai State takes advantage of the situation, it will be able to make this alliance fall apart.

There are many contradictions between the countries, and this alliance is because the threat of Huai is too great, but people are forgetful, and Huai can send people to bribe the favored ministers of the vassal states.

Relax their vigilance, you can send merchants to deliver food, wine, all kinds of rare things, let them let their guard down and indulge in it. Although there are also virtuous ministers in various countries who are aware of Huai's plans, what does it matter? Which of those nobles and kings is not a fine cloth, and the meat eaters despise them.

Even though the same thing has happened countless times in history, they still don't learn any lessons. They don't think they've fallen into a trap, they just laugh at historical figures.

Human nature is to like to enjoy, they can discipline themselves for a day, a month, or even a year, but if you let them go like this all the time, more than ninety percent of the nobles can't do it at all, let alone the king of a country with great power. After all, there are too few virtuous kings, and the vast majority of kings are just ordinary people.

Wei State, Great Liang.

Since the fall of Korea, Wei has faced all the pressure from Huai. In particular, Huai's defeat of the Qin-Zhao coalition army in the first battle shocked the Wei state. The Xinling Emperor Wei Wuji immediately supported Wei and Qin Zhaoyan to form an alliance against Huai.

But not everyone is optimistic about this alliance, the Huai State caravan passes through the world, and everywhere it goes, the Huai State Caravan will cooperate with the local nobles, and the same is true of the Wei State, many Wei nobles have contact with the Huai State Caravan.

In the Wei State, the most prestigious is not the King of Wei, but the brother of the King of Wei, Xinling Jun, who has 3,000 guests, and the King of Wei is very wary of him. Although Wei participated in the alliance with the strong support of Xinlingjun, the relationship was not stable.

Many nobles in the Wei State did not want to fight with the Huai State, and Xinling Jun was very disgusted with these nobles, and wrote many times to ask the King of Wei to cut off the Huai State caravan, but these caravans would bring a lot of profits every time, how could these nobles give up?

And once he fights with Huai, Xinling Jun will gain military power, as the most outstanding general of Wei now, if he defeats Huai Guo, his class will return to the dynasty in the future, will there still be a position for these nobles in the court?

As for the Jiangshan Sheji of the Wei State, let's not say that this Jiangshan Sheji is not theirs, and then say that if it is defeated once, it will not destroy the country. Even if the country is lost, looking at the nobles of the Chu State in Korea, the life is not bad, and they still have land and money, but they have no privileges.

This is better than waiting for Xinlingjun to kill their whole family after he gains power. Therefore, after seeing that Huai Guo reined in his minions, he sent caravans to continue doing business, and gave heavy bribes to the nobles in Wei who were willing to cooperate with Huai Guo.

These Wei nobles gladly accepted the bribes of Huai, and then gave generous gifts to Long Yangjun, the male favorite of the King of Wei. Long Yangjun is also a legend, because he was born beautiful, he is better than a woman, and some people even compare Xizi's beauty to him. And the King of Wei was even more fascinated by it, and even the queen was not favored by Long Yangjun.

This male pet was even more successfully crowned as a king, becoming a figure under one person and above ten thousand people in the Wei Kingdom.

Xinlingjun has always felt that it is a humiliation to be crowned a king with such a male pet, so he is very hostile to Long Yangjun. Therefore, these nobles all gathered around Long Yangjun.

Longyang Jun's Mansion. Longyang Jun is dressed properly, and the people in the bronze mirror are really more beautiful than flowers, as beautiful as peaches and plums, and their beauty is superb, which makes people fall in love with it at first sight.

In fact, whether it is a male pet or a traitor, there is no ugly one, you must know that it is human nature to judge people by their appearance, and if they don't have a good look, how can the king like it?
