With the encirclement of Daliang City, two extremely impressive battles began in the north and south of the Yellow River on the Central Plains.

Needless to say, the first battle was naturally the siege of Qi and Wei countries on Handan, while the second battle was the attack of the Zhao and Han alliance forces on Daliang City.

Speaking of which, this is actually a very magical war. Both sides choose to attack the other party’s nest instead of fighting head-on with the other party’s main force.

If we want to use a popular game term from later generations, then the behavior of both should be called a change of home.

In other words, what the two sides are competing at this moment is no longer the way to see who has higher military quality and who has stronger command ability like traditional wars, but to compete with who has faster civilized city.

You should know that there are monarchs of these two countries in these two capitals. If Handan is first captured, then Zhao Dan is likely to fall into the hands of the Wei and Qi coalition forces; and if Daliang City is captured, the King of Wei may be unable to fly.

The bets used by two kings as the bets, and this bet has to be said, is actually very large.

Not no one has raised any doubts about the decision made by Li Mu and Wei Wuji.

For example, Xu Li, the deputy general of Zhao, once said to Li Mu: "General, the city of Daliang is now strong and thick, and it is really difficult to conquer. Why don't we lead our army north to rescue Handan?"

In Xu Li's view, due to the existence of more than 10,000 Zhao cavalry, if the decisive battle with the Wei and Qi coalition forces were launched in the plain, the chances of the Zhao and Han coalition forces were actually not small.

Li Mu, who was holding a lamb leg and chewing his mouth with oil, chuckled for a while, and then gave his answer very happily.

"There are two reasons. First of all, our army currently has only 120,000 people, and the 30,000 troops sent by General Lian Po only 150,000. The Wei and Qi coalition forces outside Handan City have combined more than 300,000. Under such a huge military disadvantage, although our army has the advantage of cavalry, its chances of victory are not very high. And don't forget that Wei Wuji is not as idiot as the king of Yan, but a famous general of the world."

"Secondly, the Koreans are not reliable. After contacting Jin Xiao these days, although Jin Xiao tried his best to cover up, I could still feel that the Koreans did not intend to send troops to help Wu Zhao. They just saw that the current war situation had turned to Zhao, so they took the opportunity to join and wanted to take advantage of it."

Li Mu said this, throwing the lamb leg bone that had just been gnawed aside, and smiled at Xu Li, "General Xu Li, I can bet on you for 100 gold. If we really fight the Wei and Qi armies outside Handan City, then as long as the battle situation is slightly stalemate, the South Korean side may change, and it may even turn against each other. Handan will be really dangerous at that time! So I can't take this risk."

After hearing these words, Xu Li pondered for a while, and finally nodded in convincingly, expressing his agreement with Li Mu's opinion.

After thinking for a while, Xu Li said again: "But now Wei Wuji has been besieging Handan for so long. Can we really take down this Daliang City before Wei Wuji conquered Handan?"

To be honest, considering Wei Wuji's reputation, most people will press treasure on Wei Wuji instead of Li Mu in this confrontation.

That's right, although Li Mu is a rising star recognized by the mainland today, Wei Wuji is a long-known Middle Ages general on the mainland.

In the eyes of many people, perhaps Li Mu may reach the same level as Wei Wuji in the future, but Li Mu cannot be compared with Wei Wuji now.

Therefore, in the eyes of most people, Li Mu and Zhao will lose blood in this battle with Wei Wuji.

Li Mubao laughed out loud about such concerns and then told Xu Li an amazing secret.

"General Xu Li, what if I told you, the king would have already expected the situation today?"

After a while, Xu Li walked out of Li Mu's tent with a refreshing look, but after careful observation, he could still find a little shocked expression on Xu Li's face.

...

When Huang Xie, the commander of Chu State's Yin Chunshenjun, heard that Li Mu planned to use the means of changing families to compete with Wei Wuji, Huang Xie told King Yuan of Chu.

"King, the news of Zhao's defeat is coming soon."

Under the puzzled look of King Yuan of Chu, Huang Xie gave the answer: "If we talk about the strong combat effectiveness of the army, the current coalition of Zhao and Han is not as good as Wei Qi, and it is the turn of command, Li Mu is not as good as Wei Wuji; when it is the strong city, Handan is not as good as Daliang City. In this way, will Zhao have a chance to win? Qi and Wei are almost bound to win."

After hearing this, King Yuan of Chu felt that it made sense, so he asked again: "If this is the case, what should I do?"

Chunshen Jun Huang Xie said to King Yuan of Chu with great certainty: "I have three strategies: superiors, middles and lowers. The best strategy will immediately send troops to attack Qin and recapture the entire Nanyang County. The middle strategy will send troops to help the Zhao and Han coalition forces, and strive to make Daliang City and Handan City be broken almost in time. The worst strategy will directly send troops to reinforce Handan and launch a decisive battle with the Wei and Qi coalition forces."

After hearing Huang Xie's plan, King Yuan of Chu couldn't help but hesitate: "But in this case, if Handan is captured by King Zhao, will Zhao State be destroyed directly?"

Of course, King Yuan of Chu did not have such a kind heart to hope that Zhao would become stronger. He just didn't want to see the two mortal enemies, Wei and Qi, drink too much of the blood of Zhao, which would lead to the end of Chu.

Huang Xie touched the beard on his face and smiled and said, "The king is worried too much. If Handan is destroyed, Zhao can move its capital to Lingshou, Jinyang and even Hedong. If Zhao Wangdan is captured, Zhao can also establish a new king. How can it be dangerous to be destroyed? Moreover, after this battle, Zhao will definitely be in a slump. In addition, Qin is now severely damaged by Zhao. Isn't this a good opportunity for our great Chu to take advantage of the situation to rise? The king must observe!"

After some thought, King Yuan of Chu felt that what his Lingyin said was really in line with his wishes.

So King Yuan of Chu made a very decisive decision: "Mr. Chunshen, I will order you as the chief general, Jingyang of the Shangzhu Kingdom as the deputy general, and lead 150,000 troops to attack Qin. It is necessary to take back all the land that Qin took from our Great Chu in one go!"

So the wheels of war rolled again, and the army of Chu rumbled out, heading westward, preparing to take advantage of the fire to rob the old enemy Qin.

As for the ally Zhao State, Handan, where his ally Zhao State is being besieged... To be honest, the monarchs and ministers of Chu State should be more willing to hear the news that Handan was captured.
