Just when Zhao Kuo captured Zhushan, Ju Xin took his personal soldiers to speed towards Huashan. At this moment, Ju Xin looked particularly embarrassed, and in the end there were no more than a thousand warriors following him... Because of the sudden civil strife, the Yan people killed each other, which led to a very bad result. This is because of the unique military system of Yan State. Because of human resources, Yan State always likes to call the Hu people from the frontier to fight for themselves.

Yan State never thought he was a barbarian because he was a nobleman in the Ji family and was different from Zhao and Qin. Therefore, after conquering Liaodong and other regions, the measures he took were completely different from those in Zhao and Qin. Qin State set up Taoist at Hu people's gathering points, and the Taoist and county were of the same level. The difference was that the Hu people were usually the main officials, giving them titles, allowing them to use cattle and sheep instead of the same amount of food and cloth when paying taxes, encouraging their intermarriage, and allowing them to retain their own holiday customs.

They were also encouraged to learn the law and writing, and the school was open to them. If they encountered famine, the Qin State would hurriedly provide relief.

Zhao State had no way, but it also took considerable care of the Hu people in Senei and even sent a large number of troops to protect them. For example, Li Mu and Li Mu were in the Yunzhong, who protected the herdsmen here. Most of the cavalry under Li Mu were local herdsmen... But in Yan State, the situation was different. The Yan people looked down on the Liaodong people and treated them completely as conquerors.

The Yan people required them to pay taxes such as millet, cloth, etc., but these people did not produce grain and cloth, and they grazed. This caused them to use their cattle and sheep to exchange grain and cloth with merchants whenever they paid taxes. The virtues of merchants... Well, they would deliberately lower the prices of cattle and sheep, raise the prices of grain and cloth, and make huge profits from it.

If the merchants of Qin dared to do this, they would have been pulled out to death long ago... But in Yan State, he did not underestimate merchants. These merchants were related to local officials, so they colluded with each other. If they encountered disobedience, they would send troops to attack them... Moreover, the Yan people did not allow these Liaodong people to serve as officials, and they summoned them to perform labor service, build city walls, and fight... They completely ignored whether these would affect their normal lives.

So who is the barbarian? Who is more civilized?

Previously, they summoned a hundred thousand Hu people to serve as their army.

Because they did not trust them, they sent the nobles from the royal capital to command them. These nobles kept insulting these Liaodong people, causing greater conflicts, causing the Yan army to be defeated in Bai Ren. After that, Yan began to change its military system again. They dispersed these Hu people and served as middle-level officers with Yan nobles, in order to achieve the goal of controlling the army in this way.

Unfortunately, this is not a good way to resolve the conflict.

The aspirants of Yan State, such as Li Fu and Jiang Qu, all saw this problem. Yan State conquered large tracts of land in Liaodong in a short period of time and also gained a lot of population. But the problem is that the time is too short, these people did not become Yan people... Jiang Qu once wanted to change this situation and stabilize Yan State's rule in Liaodong. Unfortunately, after he left Yan State, his policies were banned.

The soldiers of Yan State, except for those Liaodong people who were forced to fight, were also dissatisfied with Yan people living in other places. Because of the unique position of Yan State, many people here suffered from cold and hunger. The reforms of Yan State have always been in the war against Qi State and the win over military talents. They were still very backward in internal affairs, which made the official system in Yan State chaotic, the aristocrats were corrupt, and the administrative efficiency was low.

Under such circumstances, the State of Yan has been building the Great Wall, never stopping corvee service. From the time of becoming the king of Yan to the present, the State of Yan has been using manpower to build the Great Wall of Liaodong every year to stabilize its rule here... When Zhao Kuo first heard about this, he just shook his head and sighed: The time is not as good as the place, and the place is not as good as the people... The internal contradictions of the Yan army are fierce.

When Zhao Kuo fought against Yan State, he allowed the soldiers of Yan State to seize their generals and ask for surrender. Such behavior is rare because most noble generals opposed this point, even if it was the enemy... This is called a crime. How could soldiers attack their generals? The army of Yan State did not have the rewards of Qin State, and they would not get rewards for killing the enemy, nor did they have the same sense of identity as Zhao State Wei State.

Many people in the Yan State army were Liaodong people who were constantly bullied. These people were forced to go to the battlefield, hoping that they would have the idea of ​​defending Yan State? This is just joking.

Zhao Kuo was very famous in Yan State, and his fame came from several aspects. First, he defeated Li Fu, and then he promoted the fire kang to Yan State, and later his horse costume book. It is worth mentioning that Zhao Kuo's "Horse Costume Book" has many statements about equality and the kings should be treated equally. The Yan people were very interested in these ideas... In the era of Jiangqu, Jiangqu set up school rooms in various places to educate the Hu people, and their textbook was "Horse Costume Book".

Zhao Kuo's appearance triggered the resistance of these Liaodong Hu people in the Yan army and some down-and-out Yan commoners. Zhao Kuo would not kill them, so why did they continue to work hard for those enemies who bullied themselves?

"The monarch treats his subordinates as his own brothers and sisters, and the ministers treats his monarch as his own confidant; the monarch treats his subordinates as dogs and horses, and the ministers treats his monarch as passers-by. The monarch treats his subordinates as mud, and the ministers treats his monarch as robbers and enemies." This sentence has spread rapidly in Yan State since the last Battle of Bai Ren. Some people say this is what Confucius said, and some people firmly believe that this is what Ma Fujun said.

However, no matter who said this, they all felt that what they said made sense.

These soldiers who surrendered to Zhao Kuo, many of the Hu people in Liaodong even took the initiative to join the Qin army to fight against the coalition forces.

After Zhao Kuo appeased the surrendered soldiers, he learned a lot of news about Yan State from them. They complained: "Every time the King of Yan held a banquet, the local officials would come to rob our cattle and sheep, saying that they wanted to offer it to the king, but they did not give money, saying that this was our opportunity to serve the King of Yan... In the cold winter of last year, most of our livestock had frozen to death. My brother took people to find the officials of Yan State, hoping to reduce some taxes... But the official said that my brother took the lead in rebellion and killed him."

"We have to build the Great Wall every year, and build endlessly... They only give very little food every day, and the officials also ask us to buy these foods with cloth... Secretly deducted... We go to sue the officials, and this is useless. All the people who reported the news were executed..."

"The Yan people asked us to attack other areas outside Liaodong...their people followed behind and let us fight to the death, but we didn't get any benefits!"

"Those merchants, they asked me to exchange him for three pieces of cloth with a fertile mare!"

Zhao Kuo just listened carefully and nodded from time to time. Wang Feng, who had been listening to the translation, couldn't help it. He said, "How could such a thing happen? Officials colluded with merchants and deducted food and grass?" The Qin generals around him were also a little confused at this moment. Such behavior could be cut to death twenty times in Qin! When the generals of Qin proudly spoke out many policies of Qin's treatment of common people and Hu people, the Liaodong people around him were all straight.

"When will you attack Liaodong?"

Zhao Kuo gathered his troops, immediately left Zhushan, and set out towards Zheng County.

Ju Xin, who fled to Mount Hua, happened to meet the vanguard of the coalition forces who came to rescue him. The vanguard was Wei Qing of the State of Wei. When he saw the old general running from a distance, he knew that he was still one step late. Ju Xin got off the horse panting. Wei Qing hurriedly supported him. Ju Xin said tremblingly: "It's Ma Fujun... Ma Fujun is here."

Wei Qing was stunned and hurriedly looked at the personal soldiers around him, then shook his head at Ju Xin.

Ju Xin also quickly reacted and said, "There are many defeated soldiers. Please send someone to summon...I will meet Xinling Jun." Wei Qing nodded, and then ordered the army to stop and sent scouts to search for the defeated soldiers around. Ju Xin met Xinling Jun in the central army. Xinling Jun saw him and said, "It seems that after he repelled me, he went to attack Zhushan without stopping? Well, what is the casualties?"

"Most of my army surrendered... Less than 10,000 people escaped..."

"What?" Xinling Jun widened his eyes. If Pang Gong said this, he could understand. After all, he knew Zhao Kuo's position in the hearts of Zhao people, but why did Yan people do this? Ju Xin took a deep breath and then said worriedly: "Please retreat quickly... If you don't retreat, it will be too late... When Ma Fujun appeared, I thought I would be defeated, but I didn't expect that the army would mutiny directly... If even Yan's army was like this, what about Zhao's army?"

"No, you have to leave here before the news spreads."

Seeing Ju Xin's fearful appearance, Wei Wuji suddenly burst into laughter, "Hahaha~~", Ju Xin was startled by him, and hurriedly looked at him, asking angrily: "Are you laughing at me?" Wei Wuji shook his head and said, "Why are you so frustrated? This time, we won a great victory, burning down the enemy's food and grass supply, and losing the combat effectiveness of Wang's army... After we return, there will be an army with sufficient food and grass to fight against the tired army of Qin..."

"The war with Qin has just begun... You don't have to be so frightened... In fact, I have always been looking forward to fighting with this friend of mine... Now, it is the best opportunity. I will defeat his army, I will capture him, tie him back, and let him accompany me to drink all day! If he dares not drink, I will lead my troops to attack Xianyang!" Xinling Jun said proudly, and then said to Ju Xin: "Quickly summon the defeated troops, we will return from the same route, and attack Meng Ao with General Jingyang!"

The coalition forces quickly retreated, Xinlingjun led his army back to the river bank, and the army once again rushed to Hedong through water and continued to advance from Hedong towards the Yewang... At this time, Zhao Kuo also quickly recovered Huashan and other areas. There were still some granaries left here and were not completely captured. Wang Feng successfully delayed their speed of capturing Huashan granaries, while Zhao Kuo continued to lead his troops and set out towards Hangu Pass.

At this moment, Meng Ao led his soldiers along the river bank and quickly marched towards Hangu Pass. Sure enough, the two sides officially met near the Yewang. Xinlingjun and his army suddenly came out and siege the Qin army on the other side. Meng Ao hurriedly stopped and continued to march, split the soldiers and crossed the river to support. While the two sides were fighting, Jing Yang also saw through Meng Ao's reality and the army covered the killing. After three days, he successfully defeated the Qin army.

The seriously injured general Zhang Tang was captured and then he continued to chase and kill him.

Meng Ao was constantly crossing the river and fighting Xinlingjun, he also understood Xinlingjun's intention. He wanted to involve himself and attack him with the 200,000 troops in the Central Plains. Meng Ao immediately arranged the defense line and commanded the war in both directions. After Jing Yang came here, he directly entered the battle. The Qin people were forced to fight on both sides of the river, and at the same time there was no food and food, which quickly put the Qin army at a disadvantage.

The war was very unfavorable to the Qin people, and Meng Ao's food supplies were interrupted... While the journey was rushing, the soldiers actually began to starve, and the morale of the coalition forces was rising again. This was the first time they had repelled the Qin people head-on, and even attacked near Hangu Pass. Even the Koreans who saw their hometown became extremely brave and continued to attack. Jingyang also cherished this opportunity very much.

It has been a long time since he was so cruel in front of the Qin people. He attacked desperately. Xinlingjun surrounded the Qin people on the other side of the river, refusing to annihilate them all. He deliberately seduced Meng Ao to rescue him, and kept suppressing him. At the same time, he also sent a ship to carry out a small-scale attack to continuously harass Meng Ao's main army. The two sides fought on both sides of the river for three days, and Qin gradually became dissatisfied, and a large number of casualties occurred. Jingyang continued to approach, causing the Qin army to retreat.

Meng Ao had already seen the trend of defeat, but fortunately he was not a hesitant general. He made a quick decision and immediately gave up the army on the other side of the river, began to organize a large army, retreated calmly, and successfully retreated to Hangu Pass by setting up multiple defense lines, and immediately hid in Hangu Pass and began to rest. Wei Wuji cooperated with Jinyang to swallow up nearly 100,000 Qin troops on the other side of the river, severely injured the Qin people, and then continued to advance towards Hangu Pass.

The coalition forces showed off their power outside Hangu Pass and continued to send troops to attack the surrounding cities. The Qin people who were defeated on the other side of the river were also tied up and pulled them to the front of Hangu Pass to execute them. This became a new way for the coalition forces to demonstrate to the Qin people.

Pang Gong looked at all this and his face turned paler.
