Chapter 409: 400,000 Soldiers Destroy Zhao

What happened on this day was quite absurd and magical. Although I couldn't find where the Luowang was hiding in the palace, the stolen money collected alone was enough for the entire Zhao army's annual military pay, which made Zhao Yan feel a little bit of joy for the Luowang.

That night, thanks to the map hanging in Lu Yan's mind, the trait of the tide banshee's charisma as aided, and the secret passage that Zhao Yan carefully prepared for his search for flowers and willows, Luowang and others fled out of the palace with Li Mu.

Walking out of the secret passage, Lu Yan jumped onto a branch, looked at the ripples not far away through the moonlight, and immediately knew his current location in his mind. "This is... the trench river in the southern suburbs of Handan. Zhao Yan really worked hard to go to Nulu."

He sighed: "From another perspective, Zhao Wangyan is pretty good among the many kings. Although he is a little willful, he also knows how to take into account the face of the country."

At this moment, the person who was behind the end also rushed up and said, "Sir, the traces have been cleaned up."

"Let's go to the planned location to meet with one party." Lu Yan nodded and quickly disappeared with the team.

At the same time, Qin State had already made a real act, and the previous actions of national preparations and food mobilization were immediately entered into a real state of war.

General Wang Jian led 200,000 to one branch, and general Wang Ben led 100,000 to two branch, and two soldiers were sent to one place and sent troops from Taiyuan.

First, he attacked Zhao's most important hub, Yanyu. After capturing Yanyu, Wang Jian's army took Jingxing to cross the Taihang Mountains, cutting off the Zhao State at this time to block the return of the 200,000 main force of destroying Yan in Zhao State; Wang Ben's army went straight to Wu'an from Jingxing and threatened Handan.

Yang Duan and a hundred thousand troops sent troops from Hanoi, attacking Yecheng, Anyang and other places all the way, and heading straight for Handan from the south.

The three armies had a total of 400,000. Taking advantage of the fact that Zhao State had just been alert, they advanced quickly, and the whole journey was unstoppable. In just ten days, the border defense line of Zhao State was ruthlessly torn, and the Qin army officially invaded Zhao State.

Wang Jian and Wang Ben and his son attacked Yanyu with 300,000 troops as quickly as possible. After taking them down, they divided the troops into two groups and implemented the initially agreed military strategy. The battle of the demise of Zhao State broke out, the most critical period was entered in just over half a month.

The military situation flew from all over the place to Handan like snowflakes, and the defeat of the storm meant that Zhao was no longer able to organize a military counterattack connecting the whole country, and could only be played out by the Qin army.

Wang Ben rushed to Wu'an, Handan was in danger; Yang Duanhe went south, Handan was in danger!

After receiving military information from various places, Zhao Wangyan looked at the miserable situation of the third line blossoming on the map, and his eyes were blurred and he fell straight down.

It's over, the front line's 200,000 main force cannot come back, Wang Ben, Yang Duan and these two routes are approaching Handan. Apart from sticking to Handan, there is no room for Zhao to operate.

As for asking for help? Who can I ask for?

Yan State was just attacking other people's capital; Qi State was the younger brother of Qin State; Chu State was in civil strife; Wei State had no strength.

There is only one way to refuse to defend. If you can defend the Qin army's offensive in the battle to defend the city, there may be a turning point!

Yes! There is still a turning point!

Zhao Yan shook his head, and Guanjian had long since flew to the place. He lay on the case, stared at the remaining military centers, and began to think:

Who can bear the great responsibility in China?

Suddenly, he figured out a joint, stared straight, and slowly stood up, his hands unconsciously covering his chest.

"Puff~"

A mouthful of blood spurted out, Zhao Yan burst into tears, and his fist beat him madly, "Li Mu...Li Mu! My Li Mu! Ying Zheng, it was you who did a good job, the battle for succession, Li Mu went south and robbed the prison and disappeared... My General Li Mu~ Ying Zheng~ You are a god-killer! My General Li Mu~"

He made a big noise, and the palace maids and eunuchs who served him knelt down one after another, and the personal guards immediately went to invite the imperial doctors.

When the doctor came to the hall, he saw him crying and shouting, and quickly walked over and persuaded him: "King, it's important to take care of yourself. I have said before that you must not have such severe physical and mental turmoil anymore."

Zhao Yan pushed the doctor away, "Get out, get out, get out of here! Contact Pang Nuan and Le Cheng, and let them quickly lead their troops back to save the country. Summon important officials and discuss matters in Longtai Palace, go quickly!"

"Yes, yes, king."

The military situation was urgent, and the important officials of the Zhao court arrived in a short while.

Zhao Yan didn't want any vain, and sat on the throne and asked directly: "The Qin general Wang Jian and Wang Ben have captured Yan Yu and inserted into the hinterland of our Zhao State; Yang Duanhe is approaching from the south, and has left three cities in more than ten days, forcing him toward Handan. You all tell me, how can I save myself at this time?"

this……

A group of people in the hall looked at each other, and there was no way to find any solution.

Prime Minister Guo Kai was the first to give some comments, "King, my main army is far away in Yan State. At present, there are only two generals on the front line to give up destroying Yan and returning to the country. We are stationed in a strong city and refuse to fight, so we can stand until the main force returns. At that time, the Qin army will not be able to capture for a long time, and the main army will be ordered to throw themselves into a rat and be afraid of weapons, so they can only retreat."

Zhao Yan had expected this, staring at Guo Kai like an eagle and a falcon, and then staring at the important officials, "According to the news, there are 300,000 Qin troops attacking Yanyu, of which Wang Jian brought 200,000 to block the way back our main army. If the main army cannot come back, is there any other way besides defending the dead?"

At this time, someone in the crowd finally stood up, "King, Qin has been planning for this battle for a long time, and the battle has left no soldiers everywhere in our country. If you want to break the situation, you can only rely on external forces."

When everyone saw that the person who spoke was a guest, he was suddenly weak.

Zhao Yan asked, "What external force? The rest of the countries?"

"It is the border army in the north. The king, only by quickly summoning the border army in the north to attack the Qin army's northern route, and with the return of the main force of Yan, can the Qin army be severely damaged and return to nothing. Otherwise, the King of Qin would not withdraw his troops easily after so many days of destruction of the country."

The method Dun Ruo said was that Zhao State can do the best solution at present, but unfortunately, the things that happened before made the border army no longer trusted.

"Border Army...Li Mu..." Zhao Yan hesitated in his heart.

"Master, no. Now it's rumored that Li Mu has rebelled and has been executed. The morale of the army over there is unknown. If he had a different intention towards Zhao State, the consequences would be unimaginable."

"Yes, king, the border troops should not move lightly."

He was suddenly weak and had no intention of persuading him, and the old god was free to retreat to his position.

Zhao Yan thought about it over and over again, and finally made up his mind and said word by word: "He did not rebel for Li Mu. His judgment was right. He was a pillar of Zhao State, and he was wrong.

He posthumously named Li Mu as Wu'an Jun and asked Li Mu's son Li Hong to inherit the title. The Prime Minister went to issue a royal edict and asked the border troops to quickly go south to save the country."

Guo Kai nodded quickly and agreed, "Yes, the king."
