"Is the Chu army defeated?" Zhao Dan was shocked when he heard this and hurriedly said, "What is the specific situation? Come quickly!"

From Miao Xian's expression, Zhao Dan understood that what Chu State had to face must have been a very heavy failure.

This made Zhao Dan couldn't help but want to complain.

It would be fine if these Chu people could not resist Bai Qi, after all, Bai Qi is a cheater.

But now, can the Chu people even be able to resist Wang He and Wang Ling?

What about the might of the Warring States Period's Southern Heavenly Bald?

The bloody and fighting spirit of Jingchu men were thrown into Java?

Faced with Zhao Dan's questioning, Miao Xian showed a wry smile on his face: "Return to the king, a few days ago, the Qi general Kuang Liang led 200,000 martial artists to show his weakness to the enemy, and lured Huang Xie, the Chunshen Jun of Chu, to take the initiative to attack, defeat the Chu army in Lanling, and annihilate and capture more than 70,000 Chu army in one battle. Now Huang Xie leads the remaining troops to retreat to Pengcheng, and is then pursued by Kuang Liang to completely surround Pengcheng. Pengcheng is already in danger."

"What?" Zhao Dan widened his eyes again, and the shock on his face became even stronger: "Do you say that the people of Qi defeated Huang Xie?"

Miao Xian nodded with certainty.

Zhao Dan was even more speechless at this moment.

It would be fine if you say that Chu could not defeat Qin, but even Qi could not defeat Mao!

Zhao Dan waved his sleeves and stepped onto the carriage: "Go back to Longtai quickly and summon all the officials to come and discuss matters!"

The four ministers of Zhao State soon gathered in Longtai.

Facing this latest information, the ministers' faces were not very good-looking.

Yu Xin was the first to speak: "King, now that Chu State is defeated in Lanling, the east road can no longer stop Qi State from advancing westward, Pengcheng falls, and Chen Ying is surrounded. It is possible that it may happen at any time."

Zhao Bao also said: "The troops of Jingyang on the western front of Chu were already attacked by the Qin army. If there was another news that Chen Ying was besieged, then the Chu army on the western front would be defeated like a mountain."

Zhao Dan listened to the analysis of several ministers, knocking on the table with his fingers constantly, his face solemn.

Since the outbreak of this war, the reason why Zhao State was able to dispatch troops to attack Qin State without rushing is that the flesh shield of Chu State has been carrying the damage in front of it.

But now the Chu State suddenly began to collapse, and this situation is not what Zhao Dan and Zhao State hope to see.

You can just collapse if you say it, it’s okay to collapse slowly and let me have some time to react.

Even if it is about to collapse, you have to wait for the Sanjin coalition to completely capture the entire Hedong County before collapse.

But now the Chu State looks like it is like a flying waterfall of three thousand feet. Once it collapses, I will collapse to the end.

It's a cheating father!

Zhao Dan thought for a while and asked to the ministers in front of him: "In the opinion of all the ministers, will Chu State make peace with Qin and Qi in the near future?"

Zhao Shengdao: "In my opinion, the situation in Chu State is not favorable now, and the King of Chu will have the idea of ​​making peace."

This is actually a foreseeable thing. If the war is lost, what can I do if I don’t cede land and pay compensation? It’s impossible to wait until someone breaks through the capital before asking for peace.

Zhao Dan snorted and slapped the table hard: "The State of Chu will never make peace with Qin and Qi at this time!"

Although it was only a short moment, Zhao Dan had actually thought everything clearly.

Once the Chu State seeks peace and withdraws from the battlefield, Qin State's 250,000 main forces can immediately return to Hedong and have a last battle with the Sanjin coalition forces.

Then Qi might also take advantage of the situation and launch an attack against Handan from the east.

In addition, the Three Jin Alliance is not a solid piece, and Wei was restless and had been secretly dating to Qin.

If Wei also betrays at a critical moment, then Zhao will have a lot of fun.

If you want to stop all these chain reactions from happening, you must first stop the possible peace action of Chu State!

Zhao Dan raised his head, looked at the ministers present, and said in a deep voice: "I am preparing to use the Northern Army as the main force, draw troops from various counties, and form an army of 100,000 people to go south to reinforce the Chu State!"

Zhao Dan originally did not plan to fight on two sides, but now it seems that it is probably not possible to fight on two sides.

The ministers of Zhao did not have much objection to this point, and Chu would definitely save him.

But some people have put forward some different opinions on the rescue method, such as Zhao Sheng said: "King, why don't you directly attack Qi State and force the Qi army to return to the aid?"

In terms of distance, Zhao State Handan is very close to Qi State, but is separated from Chu State by Wei State. Obviously, it will be more convenient and closer to attack Qi State.

"No." Zhao Dan flatly denied Zhao Sheng's opinion and said, "Mr. Pingyuan, what I want now is not Qi's withdrawal, but Chu's state will continue to stay in this war!"

That's right, it seems that "surrounding Qi and saving Chu" is a more economical choice, but the problem is that if Qi ignores it, just like Wei when he surrounded Wei and saved Zhao, he would have to fight the enemy in front of him before returning to the army, then it would be difficult to deal with it.

At that time, Zhao Dan's great-great-grandfather Zhao Chenghou had the courage and steel will to fight with Pang Juan until the city was broken, but today's King Yuan of Chu may not have the courage of Zhao Chenghou to fight to the death.

Zhao Dan thought that the situation was likely to be that the Qi general Chen Ying was surrounded, and then the Chu army on Jingyang on the western front collapsed when the news was heard. Then Qin and Qi met together to encircle Chen Ying, and Chu was forced to cede territory and seek peace, and it was even possible to join Qin and Qi to fight against Zhao.

It's a domino-style avalanche.

Therefore, Zhao State had no time to attack Qi State slowly, but instead directly sent troops to Chu State to help Chu State extend his life first!

Zhao Dan said in a deep voice: "Although the war situation in Chu is not good now, at least Pengcheng is still in the hands of the Chu people! As long as Pengcheng is not captured by Qi, the situation will not be that bad. So once the troops are sent, be sure to rush to Pengcheng as soon as possible to help Chu people stabilize the defense line. We must not let Qi people continue to pass the Danshui to force Chen Ying!"

Zhao Dan's words convinced the ministers present, and then Li Bo asked again: "King, this time the troops are mainly sent by the Northern Army. Should we summon Pang Qi, the General of the Northern Army, to return to Handan?"

Pang Qian is still on the border between Zhao and Yan, and is ready to lead the border soldiers from the five northern counties to interfere with the throne of Yan.

Zhao Dan thought for a while and shook his head flatly: "It's too late, so he will complete the assembly within three days and go south immediately!"

The military situation was like fire, and it would take five or six days no matter how fast it was from Handan to the northern Yanzhao border. When Pang Yan came back and set off, the daylily was cold at that time.

Zhao Dan then said: "Send an envoy to appease the State of Chu and inform me that the State of Chu has sent troops south and arrive soon. Be sure to calm the heart of the King of Chu and not make peace with Qin and Qi!"

"Also, I will immediately send a message to Lianpo, the king of Wu Xin of Hedong County. No matter what method Lianpo uses, I must conquer the entire Hedong as soon as possible, so as not to miss the opportunity after the main force of the Qin army returns to the aid!"

Zhao Dan said several orders in one breath, and then turned his attention to the ministers present: "What else do you need to add?"

Zhao Sheng of Xiangbang blinked and suddenly spoke, "King, Wei Wuji, the king of Xinling of Wei, wasn't Wei Wuji leading 20,000 Wei troops to fight in Tao County. Why didn't the king order Wei Wuji to lead the army to aid Chu? With the benefit of the Wei navy, you only need to go down the Heshui River and Si River, and you can reach Pengcheng in just a few days, which is much faster than the king sending troops from Handan."

When Zhao Dan heard Zhao Sheng's words, he slapped his thighs suddenly: "That's right, I will immediately spread the Wei State to me... No, I will send an envoy to Taoyi directly, and order Wei Wuji to immediately remove the siege of Taoyi and go south to aid Chu!"
