Not only did Zhao Guo not have young generals, but most of the slightly more powerful middle-level generals were people trained by Lian Po when he was still in Zhao State.

Although there are many young generals on the Qin side, this battle is a battle in which the veteran generals invite the shrouds of the horse, so most of the generals are old people.

The veteran's body has decayed, but his experience continues to climb to the top as he ages.

The quality of the regular army of the Qin army and the Zhao army is the pinnacle of the Warring States Period.

Every battle between the Qin army and the Zhao army shows the most simple and typical military skills of this era.

In the end, there was no accident, Qin was still better than Zhao.

The offensive star Xiang Yan faced the defensive star Lian Po, and this battle was quite boring.

As long as Lian Po starts to defend, it is that the fortress forms horns, and the passes are stacked on top of each other.

Qin has money, food and people, Lian Po happily folded obstacles outside the city, and Xiang Yan hadn't beaten yet, just by looking at it, he wanted to vomit.

If Wu Anjun had a spirit in the sky, he would definitely brush his beard and agree with Xiang Yan when he saw this scene.

Even if King Qin Zhaoxiang sent him to replace Wang Di as a general, he would first replace Lian Po from the position of the chief general of Zhao State.

It's not that he can't win, it's disgusting.

For Lian Po, defense is not about winning or losing every battle, but about fighting attrition.

His main thing is a glue, a sticky and lingering.

The national strength of the Qin State is far superior to that of the Five Kingdoms, and Lian Po's style of play is just right for now. He ate and drank well every day, and when he had enough strength, he went to the front of the battle to scold Xiang Yan, and after scolding, he didn't fight, and went back to sleep directly.

Xiang Yan was so angry that he scolded Lian for being a cowardly old horseman, but he dared to fight him.

Lian Po plucked his ears.

What did Zhu Xiang's subordinates bark at? I believe that Ping Junlian is quite a famous general who became famous in your grandfather's generation, you let me go head-to-head with you, are you worthy?

He continued to eat, drink, sleep well, and take people to scold Xiang Yan when he was full of energy, but he didn't fight.

Xiang Yan was so angry that he went to sweep the village, but Lian Po didn't see it.

He built so many forts that most of the villagers were accommodated as logistics. As for the villages and fields, Lian Po had already burned them down, and he didn't give Xiang Yan a chance to burn them again.

Lian Po is also an old aristocrat. He is surnamed Lian, and he is different from the old nobles of the "Southern Barbarian" Chu State who still need to write a family tree to show the glory of his ancestors, and he is a real orthodox nobleman of the Central Plains.

Therefore, when Lian Po fights, he does not care about his face and common people, and he is even more arrogant and arrogant than Xiang Yan, a nobleman.

Besides, didn't he already arrange for the common people outside the city to work in the fortress? Those who don't want to come deserve it.

Defense has to pay attention to a strong wall and clear field, how can Xinping Jun Lianpo give people the opportunity to replenish on the spot?

So the result of Xiang Yan's side was that there were not many casualties, there were almost no results, and the army was about to collapse first due to hunger and epidemic.

When the border war of Qin entered a standoff, Li Mu and Wang Jian made a move.

Wang Jian went out of the three passes of Dabie Mountain, crossed the Huaishui, and went north along the Rushui, not attacking the Chen capital, but directly taking the Xiang fiefdom.

The king of Chu lost most of his country, more than half of the soldiers in the central counties and counties, and the private soldiers of other feudal lords also suffered heavy losses. Now most of the elite soldiers that the King of Chu can send are the elite soldiers of the Xiang clan.

Xiang Yan was willing to send his own private soldiers to the nest this time, because he got the promise of King Chu and Li Yuan that "if you come back, I will give you the title of king".

Wang Jian attacked Xiang's fiefdom to force Xiang Yan to return to help.

If Xiang Yan continues to fight against the Qin army, it is impossible for him to capture the city of Qin as a new fiefdom, and his own fiefdom will be captured again, even if he returns to Chu State and is crowned a monarch in the future, Chu State is now crowded with countless Fengjun surnamed Mi, how can there be a new fief for him? It's probably just a false name of a feudal king.

Wang Jian has dealt with the nobles of Chu for more than ten years and knows the character of these people very well. He firmly believed that Xiang Yan would definitely come back to help.

Before he sent troops, he sent people to lobby Li Yuan and Chen Du's Mi surnamed Fengjun.

Xiang Yan has suddenly risen to the top, I am afraid that he is the second Chunshenjun, and even because Xiang Yan is powerful in leading troops, he is more threatening to the status of you and the king of Chu than Chunshenjun.

The state of Chu now depends on Xiang Yan, is this state of Chu Xiang Yan's or the king of Chu?

If Xiang Yan's fiefdom was broken and his clansmen were captured by the Qin, even if the Qin army retreated, the Xiang clan would suffer heavy losses and could only rely more closely on the Qin king and other nobles. In this way, the power of the nobles of the Chu State is balanced.

Moreover, if Xiang Yan returns regardless of the attack on Qin, it means that in Xiang Yan's heart, the Xiang family is more important than the King of Chu, which requires even more vigilance.

Chun Shenjun is a thorn in Li Yuan's heart. Even though Chun Shenjun is dead, Li Yuan, who imitates Chun Shenjun everywhere but does not get the fame of Chun Shenjun, but is ridiculed by others, is also extremely disgusted with "Chun Shenjun".

Xiang Yan was very popular with the King of Chu and was relied on by the King of Chu, which originally made Li Yuan dissatisfied.

Now that Xiang Yan and Chun Shenjun are on a par, Li Yuan immediately joined forces with his vassals to slander Xiang Yan and asked the king of Chu to give Xiang Yan an edict, and he must not let Xiang Yan come back.

But at this moment, the king of Chu is awake.

Even if he didn't care about Xiang's fiefdom, he knew that Xiang's fief was in Chu.

The Qin army has attacked the state of Chu, so what do you care about attacking Qin? Xiang Yan hurried back to protect the widow!

Seeing that the King of Chu actually had his heart set on Xiang Yan, Li Yuan was ruthless.

So, he and the queen of Chu should cooperate with the outside, first put fierce medicine in the pill that the king of Chu ate, and then asked the queen of Chu to send many beautiful women to have a good time with the king of Chu, and finally the king of Chu fell asleep after being cold for half a night.

Xiong Yuan, the king of Chu, died violently, and the crown prince succeeded to the throne.

The new king of Chu immediately pursued the edict of the previous king, ordering Xiang Yan not to return to help, and he would send someone to save Xiang Yan's fiefdom.

Xiang Yan was in a dilemma, and under the persuasion of his clansmen, he divided half of his troops to help.

Wang Qian, who was besieging the city for reinforcements, waited for a long time.

On the other side, Li Mu took a sea boat directly and went north along the coastline.

Although he encountered some troubles along the way, Li Mudu, who has rich sailing experience, easily overcame it.

He even docked along the coast for supplies, and made it clear that the Qi State knew that the Qin army was coming from the sea.

This was the first time that the Central Plains had encountered a boatman who had crossed a long coastline.

The state of Qi often watched from the wall because it faced the sea several times, and there was only one land passage through the army. There were other five countries blocking the passage in front of it, so the nobles of the Qi Kingdom thought that they were at ease.

Now the boat division led by Li Mu told them that it was no longer safe to rely on the sea, and the Qin army could come from the sea.

Although the state of Qi sent troops and generals to jointly attack the state of Qin, after the death of the empress dowager, the king of Qi was persuaded by the domestic nobles, especially his uncle Hou Sheng, not to repair armaments and take the lead in enjoying himself.

The extravagance of the nobles of Qi is prevalent, and whoever has the money and the biggest shelf will have more prestige; The Qi Guojixia School Palace has also lost its former academic prosperity, and has become dominated by empty talk and debate.

When the Qin army approached the state of Qi, the king of Qi asked the court officials blankly, and the secretary of Qi also asked the king of Qi blankly what to do.

They have been thinking about how to make money and spend money for decades. I don't know if it's a war or something.

It's just that the Qi generals and soldiers they sent out were just to pick up benefits, and they didn't think about attacking the city. Qi couldn't find anyone who could lead the troops at all.

King Qi was at a loss: "What should I do?" ”

Doctor Qi Guoqing: "Set up a boat division first?" ”

King Qi nodded: "Okay." So who will form the boatmaster? ”

Doctor Qi was at a loss again.

Your Majesty, you ask us, who do we ask? Who knows who in Qi is good at water warfare?

So they abandoned this plan and chose to set up defenses on the coastline to prevent the Qin army from going ashore.

King Qi felt that his words were reasonable, and then asked who would lead the troops.

Dr. Qi began to discuss again.

They don't know about that.

There were few Qi generals, and the few who could fight went to Qin, couldn't they go to dangerous places by themselves?

So they immediately asked the King of Qi to recall the Qi generals who had gone out on the expedition.

This King of Qi felt that it was too reasonable, and hurriedly issued an edict to let the Qi army who went to Qin come back quickly.

And then he just waited.

The purpose of Li Mu's battle this time was to force the king of Qi to withdraw the Qi army from Qin.

He knew that he was going north alone, and as long as the Qi State was deployed along the coastline, it would be difficult for him to break through the defense line and attack the hinterland of the Qi State.

But when he arrived at the coast of Qi State, Li Mu was puzzled and found that what about the defending Qi army?

He thought there was a deception, so he specially circled the coastline of Qi and landed in a relatively open place to avoid encountering an ambush.

As a result, he went around in a circle, and he didn't see the Qi army coming to stop him.

Although Li Mu didn't know why this was the case, he immediately seized the fighter plane, led the army to land in a column, marched towards the hinterland of Qi State, and soon surrounded Linzi, the capital of Qi State.

Li Mu sat in the big tent with a puzzled face.

With the soldiers he is bringing now, he will definitely not be able to capture Linzi. He surrounded Linzi, just to force the Qi army to return to help.

But apart from the Qi army in Qin, what about the other Qi troops? The country of Qi is so big, it can't send a Qi army into the alliance of the five countries, and there will be no defenders in the country, right?

Li Mu landed from the sea and did not encounter any resistance along the way. The gates of the cities in various places were closed, and the defenders watched nervously from the city towers, and none of the troops went out of the city to stop the Qin army from going to Linzi.

Could this be that the county guards and feudal lords of Qi all rebelled and waited for the king of Qi to die? Otherwise, how could the Qin army have all arrived at Linzi City, and no one has stopped it?

Li Mu looked at the towering city wall of Linzi and felt very regretful in his heart.

I knew that this would happen, so he brought more people here, how good would it be to directly knock down Linzi?

Prince Chu of Qin interrupted his hegemony because of the famine, and he must have felt very aggrieved and uncomfortable. If he can capture the King of Qi to Xianyang, he may be able to reduce some of Zichu's regrets.

Li Mu thought for a long time, patted his leg, and prepared to withdraw his troops.

Linzi is surrounded, and the Qi army must be on the way back.

He took only fifty thousand people with him, of which only a few thousand logistics. In other words, he went to war this time to scare the Qi country, and he didn't even bring much logistical baggage, and it was impossible to attack the city.

Now that his goal has been achieved, although he is not reconciled, it is time to go back.

Li Mu asked the army to move out the thunderbolts and catapults, use up all the ammunition that could be fired, and then march back to the port that had been occupied.

There was only smoke and noise, but in fact, the gunpowder jar that barely damaged the stone-made city wall exploded indiscriminately, and Li Mu hugged his arms and wandered, and left after the "unloading" of the baggage.

The gates opened.

The king of Qi was built in the most trusted Xiangguo, the younger brother of the empress dowager, and under the persuasion of his affectionate uncle Hou Sheng, he opened the city gate and surrendered, hoping to get the treatment of a Han king.

Hou Sheng said that if the surrender is late, there may not be a good life. Surrender now, and you can still go to Xianyang City to be a rich idler.

Qi Wangjian, the eldest giant baby mother, was frightened by the thunderbolt car, and he could only fall asleep at night holding the tablet of the Queen Mother.

When the other Qi nobles saw that Li Mu could summon the thunderbolt, they also completely lost the idea of resisting.
