"The army of Qin came here to save the lives of the people. A fool like Zhao Dan was debauchery, arrogant and arrogant, plotted to murder Ma Fujun, was confused and lazy, killed the people of Zhao, harmed the people, was arrogant and fierce, and thought it was self-righteous, abandoned the legal system of the Holy King, slandered the previous kings, rejected the law, could not obey the will of heaven, could not care for the people, did not stop collecting levies, pleaded for excessive demands, killed innocent people indiscriminately, and rewarded improperly!!!"

"A person like this is the object of God's destruction, the common enemy of the Zhao people and the Qin people, and is not worthy of being the king! We came here with the belief of Ma Fujun, and wanted to kill villains like Zhao Dan and get rid of the enemies of Zhao people... The Qin people are benevolent and righteous army, and will never kill innocent people indiscriminately, nor will they burn houses. We will reduce your taxes, and we will protect you..."

This is the manifesto issued by Qin. Through the spies in Zhao, these manifesto soon spread throughout many cities in the northwest of Zhao. The Qin people secretly posted these manifesto on the wall and distributed them to the people of Zhao in the form of leaflets. The officials of Zhao hurriedly sent people to tear up these manifestoes and searched in the city. Anyone who had private leaflets or those who spread related content would be executed.

After Meng Ao led the Qin army to capture the Zhao city, he followed the new policy, neither killing the people nor destroying local houses and arable land. He opened warehouses and released grain, distributed all the grain accumulated by the Zhao people in these cities to the people, and carried the banner of Ma Fujun, promising to reduce their taxes and distribute land to the people without arable land. The officials of Qin hurriedly began to promote the work in the occupied areas.

They wanted to let the Zhao people know that they came here to save the Zhao people and let them live a better life.

After Meng Ao told the prisoners about Qin's policies, he released them. The changes in Qin surprised the Zhao people very much. The Qin army was still as usual, serious and serious as usual, but they did not kill people anymore... Not only did they not plunder their food, but they even gave them food... So is such a policy fruitful? Of course, there are some. After Meng Ao opened warehouses and released grain along the road and comforted the people, he never encountered any resistance again.

In less than two months, Meng Ao conquered forty cities including Jinyang, Taiyuan, Yuci, Xincheng, Lang Meng, etc., quickly deployed a defense line in Yangyi, and successfully blocked Lian Po's army who came to rescue.

Lian Po did not expect that the Qin people were so fast. When he came to rescue, the northwest part of Zhao had completely fallen. Lian Po's troops had to attack Yangyi. The battlefield suddenly became a tough battle. In Zhao's own territory, Qin became an advantageous city defense. Siege battle was never easy, because the siege needed to have manpower, food, and siege equipment far beyond the city defense, so that these cities could be captured.

Meng Ao probably understood this point. He was indeed very good at siege wars. In terms of marching speed, no one in Qin could compare with him. When Wu'anjun was still there, he often arranged for Meng Ao to conduct raids or involve the enemy. Meng Ao was not very good at large-scale legion battles, but he had unique talents in siege and raids, especially when there was no people resisting, his raid ability was exerted to the extreme.

The army commanded by Lian Po was not as many as Lian Po, and neither food nor siege equipment, Zhao State was as good as Qin State. In terms of morale, the soldiers of Zhao State naturally saw the manifesto, which hit the already depressed morale of the Zhao army again... Lian Po looked at the tall Yangyi in front of him, but had a headache. He did not have enough personnel to attack the city.

Lian Po could not ignore this city. He knew that if he bypassed the city and attacked Jinyang and other places, the garrison here would definitely cut off his own path and surrounded himself in the mountains around Jinyang, and he would be in danger. Just as Lian Po was thinking about his strategy against the enemy, King Zhao could not help it. He ordered Lian Po several times to quickly regain these seized cities!

Lian Po kept his troops in Yangyi and some people told King Zhao that Lian Po had a dissatisfaction and wanted to rebel.

Although King Zhao did not believe such a mess, he was also very anxious. He needed a big victory to inspire the military and civilians of Zhao.

After receiving several orders from King Zhao, Lian Po seemed a little angry. He looked at the envoy sent by King Zhao in front of him and said angrily: "I am fighting bloody battles for Shangjun here. Shangjun is sitting in the palace in Handan. He didn't know the situation ahead, so he repeatedly urged me to attack the city! I have made so many contributions to Zhao State, and finally got the position of a throne. Zheng Anping, the villain who was defeated, was able to be a throne like me. I feel ashamed of this matter!!"

The messenger was shocked and looked at Lian Po in front of him.

Lian Po waved his hand and ordered the soldiers to arrest the envoy and put him in prison.

Then, he sent one of his disciples to the city to pay homage to Meng Ao with letters.

Meng Ao smiled and looked at the Zhao warrior who was escorted by the soldiers, and asked with a smile: "General Lian Po wants to surrender?"

The warrior nodded and said seriously: "Xinpingjun was not valued in Zhao State. King Zhao had previously plotted to murder Ma Fujun, but now he believed in the slander of villains and wanted to plot against Xinpingjun. Xinpingjun was very angry. He decided to submit to Qin State. However, he wanted you to guarantee that you cannot harm the people of Zhao State. He must continue to serve as a vassal in Qin State and also serve as a general..."

The warrior talked about Lian Po’s conditions one by one.

Meng Ao listened seriously, and suddenly, he sneered, stood up, and said to the warrior: "Liang Po, he is just an old man without any talent in Zhao State. Could he become a monarch because of his origin? Just such a stupid guy, Wu'anjun can capture him with two thousand elites. What conditions do he have to put forward now? Go back and tell him! Lian Po should take off his clothes, carry a thorn on his back, kneel in front of the city and kowtow to me! I will accept his surrender!"

"If he doesn't do this, I will destroy his clan!"

"General! Father!", the generals sitting around Meng Ao shouted. They widened their eyes, not knowing why Meng Ao said that. The warrior sent by Lian Po was also furious because of such insults. He cursed at Meng Ao, but was driven out by Meng Ao. Meng Wu hurried to his father's side and said helplessly: "Father! I heard that Lian Po killed the envoy sent by King Zhao."

"After this visitor came, he also stated the conditions first. It can be seen that Lian Po really wanted to surrender."

"Liang Po is a famous general of Zhao State. If he could come to Qin State, it would be beneficial to Qin State. Why would you do this?! Why! Are you worried that he would take away your position when he came to Zhao State?! I want to write a letter to the king! I want to accuse your behavior!" Meng Wu became more and more angry as he thought about it. Lian Po has always been a big concern of Qin State. This old man is very capable, and even Wu Anjun dares not be careless when facing him.

Wu'anjun has praised Lian Po many times, believing that if he was the army of Qin and he was the army of Zhao, he would definitely not be his opponent.

Such a talented man now wants to surrender to Qin, but his father is so insulted??

Looking at Meng Wu who was furious in front of him, Meng Ao also sneered. He looked at his son and said angrily: "I also want to write a letter to the king. I hope you will never be the general of Qin! Otherwise, Qin will definitely suffer a great defeat because of you!"

"What kind of person is Lian Po? Even if he is dissatisfied with the king, he will probably leave Zhao State. It is absolutely impossible to surrender the enemy in the face of battle! You stupid guy!"

After being scolded by his father, Meng Wu gradually calmed down a little. He asked carefully: "Why did my father insult him?"

"He is strong by nature and is insulted like this..." Meng Ao pondered.

When the warrior returned to Lian Po and told Lian Po truthfully about Meng Ao's words, Lian Po was not angry. He laughed, shook his head, and said helplessly: "It seems that I underestimated Meng Ao... Okay, go back, you can't tell anyone these things." The warrior nodded and left the tent.

The next day, everyone saw the irritable Lian Po. The general seemed very angry. He immediately asked someone to cut down trees and began to make siege equipment. The Qin people on the city wall naturally saw the busy Zhao people. They were making siege equipment with all their efforts. It seemed that they were about to start siege, which made Meng Wu very happy. He felt that his father's plan was successful, and Lian Po was indeed angry.

However, Meng Ao realized something and ordered general Wang Jian to leave Yangyi with an army and deployed it in a dangerous position to go to Jinyang and other important places to prepare for the enemy. Wang Jian had just walked out of the city and was about to reach his destination, and was ambushed by Lian Po. Lian Po surrounded Wang Jian's army and began to attack fiercely. On the one hand, Wang Jian asked for help from the defenders in the city, but on the other hand, he was with all his strength to resist the enemy's attack.

Meng Ao left Meng Wu to defend Yangyi, and led his army to move forward quickly towards Wang Jian's troops. Halfway through, Meng Ao quickly returned with his army and hid in the mountains on the left side of Yangyi. After Meng Ao left Yangyi with his army, Wang Jian's pressure suddenly decreased. Outside Yangyi City, the real main army of the Zhao people appeared, and began a fierce attack. Meng Ao suddenly led his army out of the left side, and the two sides fought in a melee.

Lian Po's army was already less than Meng Ao. After several divisions of troops, the gap in military strength was even more obvious. In terms of combat effectiveness, Qin State was also firmly victorious. Lian Po was immediately at a disadvantage in the war between the two sides. Lian Po commanded with all his strength and called the army to attack left and right. He rode the military in a military carriage and continued to advance towards the Qin people. With his courage and command, he actually forced the Qin people who were stronger than him to retreat repeatedly.

Lian Po's use of the chariot has reached a level of superb level. He divided the chariot troops into three strands. After opening the gap on the left, he directly cut the Qin people's army into three parts along the border. The infantry quickly followed and surrounded the Qin people's front and central troops... Meng Wu on the city wall was stunned. He watched Lian Po use 30,000 troops to surround his father's 50,000 troops... He was about to send troops, but suddenly he saw his father posed a banner and let him continue to hold on!

In the shocking sound of war drums, General Lian Po roared angrily, and the spear in his hand kept killing one enemy after another. He kept raising flags to order the chariot army to continue to cut the Qin army diagonally along the right side, and strive to divide the Qin people into smaller troops and annihilate them all! The battle situation was very unfavorable to Meng Ao, and Meng Ao was also a little anxious. The Qin army had more chariot troops than the opponent, but he had no way to keep up with Lian Po's operations.

At this moment, behind Lian Po, a Qin army appeared. Wang Jian, who had a expressionless face, wiped the blood on his face, and raised the spear in his hand to Lian Po's rear.

In the second year of the Qin King, Zhao and Qin fought with Yangyi.

Qin State won a great victory, killing more than 10,000 people and capturing 20,000 prisoners.

The Zhao general Lian Po, with the rest of his troops, was defeated and retreated to Maling.

Qin State made a concerted effort and captured the surrounding cities, and then took a defensive attitude. King Zhao was furious and immediately ordered Li Mu in the clouds to support the battlefield with his elite soldiers. Qin State also sent Wang He, Hu Yang, Sima Geng, Qiang and others to support him. Qin State's troops in Jinyang area reached 150,000, while Zhao State's army only had more than 60,000 people.

Meng Ao led his army to fight against Li Mu and Sima Shang's army in Xincheng.

The army brought by Li Mu was indeed elite, but in terms of military strength, it was too different from Meng Ao... On the battlefield, Li Mu adopted the method of concentrating elite troops and attacking the central army. However, Meng Ao used a huge chariot force to directly interrupt Li Mu's attack. He pressed on the left and right wings and swallowed all of Li Mu's troops. The two sides fought in a melee. Li Mu gave up his original strategy, fought and retreated, and continued to harass him, eating Qin's army bit by bit.

Unfortunately, Meng Ao's advancement speed was too amazing. He directly attacked near Yanmen County and captured many cities.

The State of Zhao was not prepared for a full-scale war, and it was still an old problem and lacked food.

Zhao did not have enough food to support the full-scale war with Qin, and Zhao was unable to recruit a large number of troops. Even the food consumed by the army now has become a big problem. Since the Battle of Changping, Zhao has experienced a shortage of food. Although it eased a little in the following years, Zhao did not stop the war. Years of war and civil strife have not completely eased.

In the end, Zhao State passedably began to defend, and Qin State stopped continuing its attack. Qin State won the war. General Meng Ao captured more than 50 cities in Zhao State and defeated Lian Po, Li Mu and others, making him famous all over the world.

When the news reached Xianyang, the King of Qin clapped his hands excitedly.

However, Zhao Kuo looked confused. Meng Ao defeated Lian Po and Li Mu?
