Five days later, a news reached Handan.

The 100,000 Chu troops, led by Chu's commander Yin Chunshen Jun Huang Xie, had already entered the territory of Lu, and officially began the Chu's war to destroy Lu.

Judging from the information obtained by Zhao Dan, the current Lu State is completely incomparable to the Lu State, which crushed Qi's invasion attempt several times. The current Lu State is just a small, surviving country.

Although the king of Lu sent out a call for help from all over the world, anyone with discerning eyes knew that no country on the Chinese mainland would provide help to Lu.

Everyone is busy.

The Chu State sent troops to Lu State officially opened the prelude to this war.

With the Chu State's troops sent, the Zhao State's troops were completely assembled and began to cross the Pujin Ferry under the leadership of Lian Po, and the troops were under a city called the royal city in the eastern part of the central and central Qin State.

Once the royal city falls, the Zhao army can take advantage of the situation and head south toward Yinjin City, Dongdamen in Guanzhong area.

Yin Jincheng is the hub connecting Guanzhong and the Wuhan passage. If Yin Jincheng falls, the connection between Hangu Pass and the local Guanzhong of Qin will be completely interrupted.

Qin was obviously prepared for Zhao's preemptive action.

King Ji of Qin ordered Wang He and Wang Ling to confront Zhao's army near the royal city.

On the contrary to the Battle of Changping, this time Wang became the defensive side, while Lian Po became the offensive side.

The two armies broke out in an extremely fierce battle since they first contacted each other. The Zhao army launched an extremely fierce offensive against the Qin army under the leadership of Lian Po, but the Qin army also stood firm under the command of Wang Yi.

The two sides have fought countless fierce battles in recent days, but the Zhao army has never broken through the defense line of the Qin army's royal city.

Shortly after the news of the stalemate between Qin and Zhao armies reached the Central Plains, Wei and Qi sent troops one after another and began to attack Zhao from the east and west with Qin.

Under the order of King Jian of Qi, Qi army general Kuang Liang led 150,000 Qi martial artists to attack from Gaotang City, crossing the two main streams of the Yellow River in succession, and pointed directly at Julu in the north of Handan.

On the other hand, Wei Wang appointed Wei Wuji, the prime minister of Wei State, as the head commander, and also led 150,000 Wei troops to attack from Yecheng and attacked the defense line of Zhao's South Great Wall north of Zhangshui.

In less than half a month, the wars on the Central Plains, which had been peaceful for a year, have resurrected. Except for South Korea and Yan, there is no movement, the other five powerful countries have been involved in the war.

Zhao Dan sat in the main hall of Longtai, his face very calm.

"Han Fei, if we calculate based on the General Staff, can the two Qi and Wei troops break through the defense line of Julu and the South Great Wall?"

Since Pang Xian had personally rushed to the South Great Wall to deal with Wei Wuji, and another general, Ju Xin, rushed to the north to defend Kuangliang, the leadership of the General Staff once again returned to the hands of the founder Han Fei.

After hearing Zhao Dan's inquiry, Han Fei bowed and said, "By the King, according to the calculations of the General Staff, if Kuang Liang and Wei Wuji do not make too much mistakes, then once any of the two defense lines of the north and south are broken, the soldiers on the other defense line must return to Handan. From this point of view, it is highly likely that Handan will be surrounded."

After hearing this, Zhao Dan's pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly.

This answer is really not what Zhao Dan hopes to get.

Seeing that Zhao Dan was in deep thought, Han Fei couldn't help but persuade: "King, if you can't do anything, it's better to temporarily retreat to Shangdang or Jinyang. Even if Handan is lost, as long as Guanzhong wins, Zhao will definitely not lose any territory in this war."

Zhao Dan snorted heavily and said, "I am the king of Zhao. If an enemy attacks, I should be in charge of Handan City. How can I be the reason for being a deserter? There is no need to mention this matter!"

After a pause, Zhao Dan continued to ask: "If we look at the inference of the General Staff, what is the situation in Guanzhong?"

Han Fei said: "Now Qin has been defeated by Zhao twice. If Qin does not allow reinforcements this time, then General Lian Po from Guanzhong will definitely be able to return in triumph!"

Zhao Dan said: "What I want is time to win!"

Han Fei hesitated for a moment, then said: "At least three months."

"Three months..." Zhao Dan's brows frowned deeply.

Three months, in fact, only one hundred days.

If we were to fight in a large army, it wouldn't be too much in just one hundred days.

But Zhao Dan was also very clear in his heart that the answer given by Han Fei was actually calculated as soon as possible. If the war was not as optimistic as imagined, time would have to be delayed for a long time.

Besides, although war can be used to estimate the winning rate and strength of both sides through pre-war deductions, it is absolutely impossible to completely perfectly and perfectly. Many times, a small link may have a problem, which will lead to a collapse of a large army, and even endanger the fate and future of a country.

But there is no turning back when you draw the bow. In this great battle, even a powerful country like Zhao, there is no possibility of a failure.

After all, before Zhao State, Wei State, Chu State, Qi State, and Qin State, defeated by Zhao Dan, were all pulled down from the throne of the first place.

Any war is gambling!

If you win, you can succeed one step closer. If you keep winning, you will keep getting closer to your final goal.

Zhao Dan felt that the Zhao State he led was actually in line with the conditions for unifying the world in terms of potential.

Why do you say so?

If you open the map, you will find that in its heyday, all the overlords of the Spring and Autumn Period, Jin, who had beaten up all the dissatisfied people, had 80% of its territory had fallen into the hands of Zhao.

Not only that, Zhao State has more than the former Jin State, and two Hetao County counties in the former place of Zhongshan State.

Therefore, the current Zhao State is much higher than the original Jin State in terms of territory, population, military equipment, general level and overall combat effectiveness.

This is a Zhao State, which was split from Jin State, but is far more powerful than Jin State back then!

But it must be admitted that the wheel of history is moving forward and the times are constantly developing. Although Zhao is stronger than Jin, the opponents faced by Zhao are also much stronger than the opponents faced by Jin back then!

So the dilemma Zhao Dan faces now is actually similar to the dilemma faced by Jin State back then, and may even be even worse.

After all, Jin State had an ally like Wu that restrained Chu State, but now Zhao State has no ally and has to face the attack from the other three powerful neighbors.

Moreover, Zhao Dan had no doubt at all. Once Zhao State showed a defeat, then the still swaying South Korea, Yan State and even Chu State would immediately change their positions and join Zhao State's enemies, step on Zhao State's corpse to have a super grand carnival party, just like what the heroes of the Warring States did against Qi State more than 20 years ago!

"Bang!" Zhao Dan's face was as deep as water, and he punched heavily on the table.
Chapter completed!
