Ma Fujun led his army to Xinzheng from Yangcheng and Shiqiu. Zhao Kuo personally led his main army out of Yangcheng, while Meng Ao took his side troops out of Shiqiu. After actually coming to South Korea, Zhao Kuo saw the pain suffered by the Korean people. The arable land in various places was deserted, and there were even white bones on the road. Many people were kneeling on the side of the road and begging.

They were completely numb. Sitting beside the corpses of their relatives, they looked at the distance in a daze. Whether it was the Korean army or the Qin army, they turned a blind eye. They no longer cared about it. Even life and death, they no longer cared about it. Hunger was probably not the most painful. Watching their relatives starved to death in front of them is the most painful. Those who lost their parents and children had long died of their hearts.

Many cities in South Korea are blank at this moment. The coalition forces do not even need to burn down houses, do not have to bury the well water, or dismiss the local people. The cruel disaster helped them do all this in advance. Zhao Kuo was in the chariot and looked at the tragic situation on the side of the road, and felt even more heartbroken. As a son, a father, and a good man, he could not imagine how painful it was to look at his parents, children, and his wife starve to death in front of him, but he was powerless.

Zhao Kuo was extremely guilty of himself. If he had made up his mind earlier, perhaps so many innocent people would not have died.

He looked at the soldiers around him and issued an order to bring these poor Koreans to a nearby city, give them a place to live, provide them with food every day, and prepare them to participate in next year's spring planting as soon as possible. Zhao Kuo even took out military rations to settle these people, and told Lu Buwei in the country that he asked him to send more supplies and send officials to appease the newly occupied areas in time.

South Korea was originally weak, and with these years of disasters, they were no match for Qin. Zhao Kuo captured several cities in a short time without any resistance. After Zhao Kuo repeatedly rescued the people of South Korea, there was even a situation where people were uprising, and they captured local officials to serve Qin. Those hungry Koreans were more eager to look forward to the day when the city was captured than Qin.

At this time, the coalition forces gathered in the territory of Wei and headed by Pang Gong toward Xinzheng.

Pang Gong ordered Lian Po to lead 100,000 elite troops to go north to block Meng Ao's advance, while he went to rescue the New Deal, hoping to block the Qin people's attack through the tall and strong Xinzheng. Lian Po was attacked as soon as he arrived in South Korea's territory, but the people who attacked him were not the Qin army...but the Korean people. Lian Po had just arrived in Guan with his army and was preparing to rest here. At night, the local Koreans suddenly launched an attack.

They set fire outside the military camp, burned food and grass, and launched an attack on the coalition forces with wooden sticks, even hoes. After Lian Po woke up, he thought it was a sneak attack by the Qin people, so he immediately stood up to command the army to fight back. However, when he saw the angry Korean people holding the farm tools, he was stunned. These farmers were not opponents of the coalition forces. Lian Po quickly repelled them and even killed many people.

But Lian Po's heart was particularly complicated. Not only Lian Po, but also the soldiers in the coalition army. It was obvious that the Qin people came to conquer them, but they came to help the Koreans. Why did the Koreans treat themselves like this? That night, flames were burning everywhere and the ground was full of corpses. Lian Po was worried that the Qin people would take the opportunity to attack, so he could only sleep all night and send scouts to inquire about the situation.

Pang Gong also encountered the same thing. The Koreans here were unable to go out because of the orders of the King of Han. When they heard that Ma Fujun was helping the people from all over the country, they were eager for Ma Fujun to come earlier and save them, but they waited for these coalition forces. The coalition forces would not go to help the people, and they did not have that much food. On the contrary, they would ask the people from all over the country to help them build fortifications...

These forced the angry Korean people to take up their weapons and began an attack on the coalition forces.

Before the coalition forces met Zhao Kuo, the losses were already considerable.

When Mr. Pang arrived in Xinzheng, King Han came out to greet him. Mr. Pang paid homage to King Han and then to the Han general Teng. Then he followed them into the palace. When King Han saw these people reaching Xinzheng, he no longer had the worries of the past. The coalition forces had more than 200,000, with a number far exceeding Qin. What else can I worry about? Sitting beside them was Xiang Yan, but his reputation was not obvious and he did not receive the attention of King Han.

Sitting at the banquet, Pang Gong said seriously: "If you want to beware of the attack of the Qin people, you can only station the army in the three cities of Xinzheng, Shanshi and Maling, and you can't stand it. Wait until Qin withdraws its troops..." The young man stood up and said: "If you stick to these three cities, then what should the Qin people take a detour to cut off the supply of the coalition forces? Wouldn't these 200,000 people be annihilated? The coalition forces still have to worry about the siege of Qin."

Pang Gong glanced at him and then said, "What Ma Fujun is good at is mobile warfare, not tough battles. Besides, I brought enough food this time... If I go out of the city to fight, I am afraid that we will all be defeated by Ma Fujun, so I can only hold on. In addition, if the soldiers of Zhao State meet Ma Fujun in the wild, they are likely to choose to surrender. Only when they are defending the city can they prevent them from rebelling..."

"What if the Qin people were walking around the back?"

"Then we will just bypass Hangu Pass and attack Qin's abdomen...", Mr. Pang said, then looked at King Han and said seriously: "Please don't care about the gains and losses of a city and a place. The current situation can only be to choose to stick to it. If the general of Qin is not Ma Fujun, he can take the initiative to attack..." Mr. Pang didn't know what he remembered and fell silent. The young Xiang Yan actually didn't agree with Mr. Pang's suggestions very much.

He clearly has an advantage in terms of number of people, but he still has to stick to it?

However, he was not qualified to make his own suggestions in front of Pang Gong. Even Chunshen Jun once asked him to obey Pang Gong's military orders and not act without permission. Pang Gong said he would stick to it, so naturally the others did not dare to have any opinions, and the same was true for the King of Han. After saying these things, Pang Gong made formal arrangements. He brought the soldiers of Zhao to defend Xinzheng, while Xiang Yan and Teng took the troops of Chu and Han to defend Maling.

As for Lian Po, of course he had to switch to Shanshi for defense.

The King of Han disagreed a little, and he hoped that Teng could stay in Xinzheng. After all, this was the capital, and he did not want the troops stationed here to be stationed here were from other countries. However, Mr. Pang sternly rejected his request. Even if the King of Han was unhappy, there was no way. Lian Po also received the order from Mr. Pang and hurried to Shanshi City. Shortly after he left, Meng Ao brought the army to Guan, and opened the warehouse and released grain as rumored.

Mr. Pang was on the city wall all day long, watching the situation in the distance. Finally, four days after coming to Xinzheng, Ma Fujun's army finally appeared outside Xinzheng. The mighty Qin army appeared here. Wu Chengjun's flag was flying, and Mr. Pang seemed to be able to see him. Zhao Kuo was standing there and staring at him. The appearance of the Qin people did cause riots in the Zhao army on the city wall.

The other party is Ma Fujun.

How did Zhao accept this?

Perhaps it was pain or anger. The soldiers of Zhao State were noisy, and some were roaring at the city at the top of their lungs. Pang Gong did not stop him. He just looked at the Qin army in the distance. The Qin people did not prepare equipment for siege. It seemed that they did not want to attack the city forcibly. What exactly did Ma Fujun want to do? At this moment, Zhao Kuo was at the front army, calmly looking at the city in the distance.

Pang Gong is also courageous. He knew that he had never participated in any tough battle, so he placed the soldiers of the coalition forces on three cities and could not stand. Indeed, such a city is really hard to chew, especially the locations of these three cities, which can help each other. If he continues to advance with his army, these people can cut off their supplies, and maybe they can repeat the highlight moment of Xinlingjun.

The veteran is worthy of being a veteran.

Zhao Kuo was not in a hurry to attack the city, but ordered Wang Jian to go to Maling and Meng Ao to go to Shan clan, forming a confrontation with the coalition forces. At the same time, Zhao Kuo was also constantly making siege equipment.

After a while, Zhao Kuo took the lead in attacking. Wang Jian brought his army to attack Maling. The soldiers of Chu State were Xiang Yan and Teng. Step by step, the Qin State soldiers approached the city, and the archers began to suppress the city wall. When Xiang Yan could only raise his shield to counterattack, Xiang Yan finally realized the power of Qin State. Although there were more troops than the enemy, the enemy could suppress himself through arrows.

However, Xiang Yan also showed the style of a general. He first encouraged the soldiers of Chu and promised them that the generals who killed the Qin people would receive generous rewards. Then, he arranged for the soldiers who dared to leave their defense area to be executed. Then, he personally led the soldiers to fight back and the siege lasted for more than two hours. With his strong suppression, Qin climbed the city wall many times, but unfortunately they were pushed back by Xiang Yan.

After several repeated climbs to the city, the Qin people's front began to become chaotic, and soldiers fled from the battlefield in many places. Looking at the chaotic scene under the city wall, Xiang Yan immediately realized that this was a good opportunity... Teng laughed and said, "You can attack!", but Xiang Yan hurriedly stopped him and said, "You can't attack. General Jingyang once told me that Wang Jian of Qin was a very cautious person. His actions today were a bit abnormal, and this defeat might be to seduce us to attack..."

When all the Qin people fled the battlefield and the outside of the city became empty, Teng said unhappily: "You have lost a good opportunity." After saying that, he ignored Xiang Yan and turned around and left. Xiang Yan looked at the food and supplies discarded by the Qin people in the distance. After struggling for a long time, he decided not to stick to it. He believed in his judgment that the Qin people were definitely seducing themselves to attack. The Qin people could not be defeated so easily!

Wang Jian waited in the mountains outside the city for a long time, but did not wait for Xiang Yan to attack. Then he said helplessly to the people around him: "I originally thought that after Jingyang's death, the general of Chu was not worth mentioning. Unexpectedly, Xiang Yan could be so cautious. It seems that it is not easy to defeat Chu." After Wang Jian's plan failed, the two sides could only continue to have a stalemate.

Mr. Pang knew that he was not a match for Ma Fujun, so he chose to use a method that he could not stand and delay Ma Fujun's attack.

At this moment, Lian Po discovered that the main army of Qin had bypassed the Shan clan and advanced towards the rear. Faced with such abnormal behavior of Qin, Lian Po also made arrangements at the first time. He hurriedly sent an envoy to find Pang Gong to prepare for Pang Gong, and left another army to defend this place, while the rest of the army pursued the Qin army.

At the same time, Zhao Kuo's main army stationed outside Xinzheng also began to move towards the Shan Family City. Pang Gong could not sit still. He first sent an army to rescue the Shan Family, and he was also ready to attack the Qin local area. If Zhao Kuo wanted to join forces with Meng Ao to attack Lian Po, he could choose to join forces with Lian Po to attack Zhao Kuo, or simply advance towards the Qin local area.

This certainly means that Pang Gong's persistence strategy has failed. Faced with Zhao Kuo's risky actions, Pang Gong has no way to remain calm.

Sure enough, Meng Ao, who bypassed the Shanshi City, suddenly fought back and fought with Lian Po. Zhao Kuo was also leading the main force, preparing to attack Lian Po forward and back. When Pang Gong led his army to attack Zhao Kuo's main force, he was ambushed by Zhao Kuo halfway. Zhao Kuo's purpose was not Lian Po, but Pang Gong's main force. When the Qin people rushed out from both sides and the chariots rushed into Zhao's army, the two sides immediately began a cruel battle.

Zhao Kuo stood in the military chariot, looking at the Zhao and Qin people who were constantly dying in the distance, enduring the pain in their hearts and commanding. Zhao Kuo's strategic direction was simple, and the chariots were torn up with the wings, and then the infantry advanced to advance. However, such a simple strategy was also played with in Zhao Kuo's hands. Zhao Kuo's attack was very rhythmic. The chariots fought back and forth, but did not make breakthroughs, constantly attracting Zhao's troops to reinforce the two wings, and the infantry on the front also advanced in turn.

Lian Po wanted to return to the rescue, but Meng Ao led his army to bite him tightly and prevented him from leaving the battlefield.

The soldiers of Zhao State had almost no morale and retreated repeatedly in the battle. Fortunately, Pang Gong arranged a backup plan in advance and played a role. He originally sent the army to reinforce the Shans and the garrisons within the Shan clan to reinforce the battlefield quickly. At this time, Zhao Kuo chose to retreat, and the Qin army quickly disappeared on the battlefield. This caught Pang Gong off guard and hurriedly brought the army back to Xinzheng. Meng Ao also stopped entanglement with Lian Po and immediately began to detour again.

At this moment, when Xiang Yan heard that Mr. Pang was in a tough battle, he asked Teng to stay in Maling, and he led the Chu army to leave the city for rescue.
