Chapter 369 Are you okay?
Guo Kai, who had just become the prime minister, was full of energy and many people came to congratulate him. Guo Kai was naturally very happy to receive these people who came to congratulate him. After many years of planning, Guo Kai finally realized his ideal and became the prime minister of Zhao. Guo Kai had a very close relationship with the queen and prince Qian, which further stabilized his position in Zhao.
After seeing everyone off, Guo Kai welcomed another friend who was doing business abroad.
Of course, my friends came to congratulate him. After giving the gift, Guo Kai took him to the inner room and the two wanted to talk at night. The business friend, with a smile on his face, said seriously: "Wen Xinhou is very happy... It turns out that we will never violate the agreement we have made with you... Shangqing's location and the large area of land outside Yongcheng will all become your back cover."
Guo Kai looked solemn and then said, "I will definitely not let down Wen Xinhou's high hopes... Please rest assured."
"Well, next, you just need to concentrate on dealing with Li Mu, either forcing him away or killing him... As long as you can accomplish this, Qin will definitely give you the highest title after the destruction of Zhao, so that all your descendants can inherit it."
Guo Kai frowned, and he said with a wry smile: "I have always had personal grudges with Li Mu. I don't need to give you instructions. I want to kill him too. Unfortunately, King Zhao trusts him very much, I am afraid I will not interfere..." The merchant was not surprised. He smiled and said: "Marquis Wen Xin also knows that King Zhao loves Li Mu. If he wants to get rid of Li Mu, he has to get rid of the people who protect him, right?"
"I heard that the queen and the prince were very resentful to Li Mu when they moved the capital. I wonder how Zhao Yan's health was?"
When Guo Kai heard this, he was silent for a moment.
Seeing Guo Kai's expression, the merchant was a little surprised. He sneered and said, "Guo Xiang, you are a smart person... Others can't see the situation in the world. Can't you still see it? Qi and Chu no longer dare to be enemies with Qin, and Zhao and Wei, how long can they last in front of Qin? You are still young. If you don't think about your future, your current glory and wealth... I'm afraid you can't keep it."
Guo Kai then laughed. He looked at Shangjia and said, "Zhao... Zhao Yan's health is not very good."
"Yes, that's right. Xiang Guo, you won't regret the choice you made now. Qin will never owe your friends."
.....
Li Mu led his army to confront Wang Jian in Hanoi. Li Mu had the experience of fighting with Wang Jian last time, so he judged in his heart that Wang Jian still did not dare to attack. Therefore, he chose to divide his troops again and guard the place, while he led the most elite 50,000 people to attack directly, wanting to fight with Wang Jian. However, he did not expect that Wang Jian was the best person who was good at summarizing his past experience and improving his shortcomings.
After Li Mu took away the initiative on the battlefield last time, Wang Jian had already made preparations in advance. Wang Jian carefully analyzed the several wars Li Mu had fought. He believed that Li Mu would definitely attack his left and right wings, so he gathered Qin soldiers in many counties on both wings, so he asked them to hide themselves and prevent Li Mu from knowing the distribution of the Qin army. When Li Mu led his army to attack Juancheng and was about to break the city, the Qin people hiding in the surrounding county suddenly came out and surrounded the Zhao army left and right.
Li Mu was startled and hurriedly broke through, but Wang Jian bit off more than 30,000 people in one bite.
Li Mu hurriedly fled and returned to the shore, while Wang Jian directly started an attack. The Qin army launched an attack from Juan, Ancheng, Sourzao, Xu, Yan, Pingyang, Li and other counties at the same time, and their attack directions were also different. At this moment, Li Mu was in a hurry. He led his army to block the Qin army in Juan, Ancheng, Sourzao and other places, and suffered heavy damage. Unfortunately, on the other side, the Qin army in Xu, Yan, Pingyang and other counties directly crossed the river and attacked Zhao.
After they crossed the river, they wanted to surround Li Mu. Li Mu had to retreat again and attacked Qin's army halfway and went to the encircled army. However, the Qin army in the west, which was just repelled by him, began to advance again and crossed the river while he was blocking the enemy... The war between Wang Jian and Li Mu was about to break out. Long Yangjun of Wei was about to lead the army to Hanoi to attack Wang Jian's army from behind, but Meng Wu had already led the Qi army to launch an attack on Wei.
Meng Wu was also helpless. He finally knew why his father left Qi. After he arrived at Qi, the King of Qi and his ministers, including Hou Sheng, were very polite to him. However, the army he commanded almost pirated Meng Wu to death. When Meng Wu ordered the march, the generals asked for leave and refused to join the war. Meng Wu was furious. During the march, the soldiers kept falling behind. The 100,000 Qi troops were left when they arrived at their destination.
Meng Wu never commanded such an army. He found that the Qi army had not been trained for many years. After asking, he realized that in Qi, practice was not necessary. You can avoid training by paying money. When the prime minister of a country took the lead in asking for bribes, the local situation would naturally not be much better. The later victorious party members made trouble everywhere.
They only need money, and everything can be solved through money.
This led to the Qi army being disbanded for a long time, and the generals were all promoted through bribery. Several generals could not even ride horses, and even more did not know how to shoot arrows. Meng Wu could only endure the anger in his heart, give up the impulse to rectify this army, and launched an attack on Wei. The combat effectiveness of this army was very low, but fortunately, the materials were sufficient and the city of Wei was too weak.
Mengwu won consecutive battles and captured many cities.
Long Yang Jun had no choice but to put aside the war in Hanoi first and turn to deal with Meng Wu.
Jiyang City is the most important key to Qi and Wei. Long Yang Jun left a lot of elite troops here, so he was not worried that Meng Wu would directly threaten Daliang. Just as he thought, Meng Wu brought these people with him, really could not conquer Jiyang in a short period of time. When Long Yang Jun returned to Jiyang, he did not make a big fuss. He wanted to suddenly come out and cause severe damage to Meng Wu.
Unfortunately, before Long Yangjun came to Jiyang, Meng Wu knew about his coming to Jiyang.
When Long Yangjun was hiding in the city, the Qi army indeed launched an attack. Just as Qi was attacking the city wildly, the Wei army suddenly opened the city gate. Long Yangjun led the main force of Wei to fight out. Suddenly, the Qi army threw away his armor and fled to death. Long Yangjun did not expect that the Qi army was so weak. He hurriedly launched a pursuit, trying to wipe out the Qi army. However, when he led his army to pursue Qi, he came to the ambush circle prepared by Meng Wu.
Arrows flew over everywhere, and the Qi people roared loudly and rushed up to attack. Long Yang Jun was frightened and turned around and left with his army. After many breakthroughs, he came to Jiyang. Unfortunately, after he left, Meng Wu sent people to capture Jiyang. Long Yang Jun suffered a great defeat and had to take a detour... Meng Wu won the victory, but he was not happy. If he commanded the Qin army, he could completely wipe out the Wei army.
Long Yangjun did not know about military service, which was good news for Meng Wu.
Subsequently, Meng Wu took Jiyang as a bridgehead and launched an attack on Wei step by step. These Qi soldiers gradually got used to war and their combat effectiveness was improved. The number of troops led by Long Yangjun was not large, and he was not good at fighting. Facing Meng Wu, he had almost no power to fight back. What's even more terrible is that at this time, Zhao Kuo led a hundred thousand elite Qin troops to attack Wei from Yingchuan County.
In this war, Qin used a total of 250,000 soldiers, Qi used 100,000, Zhao and Wei. The strength of both sides was not at the same level at all. When they learned that Zhao Kuo came from Yingchuan with a 100,000 army, the Zhao and Wei coalition was already a little desperate, especially Wei. Today, Wei State, Wang Jian is in the north, Zhao Kuo is in the west, and Meng Wu is in the east, and the real three-sided battle.
And they can't beat anyway, and this is the worst.
When Zhao Kuo started the attack, he did not encounter any decent resistance along the way, because the army of Wei was following Long Yangjun to resist Mengwu, while the army of Zhao... Well, Zhao's army was even worse. Wang Jian didn't know what was going on, but changed his previous style and began to become offensive. Wang Jian's attack was not as fast and powerful as Li Mu's.
He is full bloom. For example, Li Mu clenched his fingers into fists and hit the vital points, but Wang Jian stretched out his hands and rushed forward to knock down all the enemies in front of him... The more troops Wang Jian used, the more exciting his tactics were. Wang Jian had extremely strong command ability, and he could order more than 100,000 people to launch an attack in an orderly manner. He commanded every battle situation himself, which was really hard to match.
Although Li Mu could defeat one place, the Qin army in other regions would continue to attack... Under such circumstances, the ferocious Li Mu was beaten to retreat continuously by Wang Jian. Over the years, Wang Jian has learned a lot of useful things from Bai Qi, Meng Ao, Lian Po, Zhao Kuo, and even Li Mu. Until today, he finally figured out the tactic that suits him the most. Not long after the war continued, he advanced to the hinterland of Zhao.
Now, let alone let Zhao come to rescue Wei, he is still unable to protect himself. To be precise, if Li Mu did not have any subsequent reinforcements, Wang Jian, a partial army that should have involved Li Mu, would destroy Zhao... In the face of such a situation, King Zhao was naturally scared to death. Regardless of the domestic food problem, he summoned his soldiers again, took Uncle Le as his general, and took Tian Yue, Sima Shang and others to support him.
Wang Jian advanced all the way to the former Zhao Great Wall, and the Qin people had already seen Handan City not far away.
The main force here of Zhao Kuo became the most useless army, because no one was to stop them at all. Zhao Kuo was marching, marching, and then approaching Daliang. Longyang Jun helplessly gave up the battlefield in the east and returned to Daliang with the participating soldiers, wanting to resist his enemies through the strong Daliang City. Meng Wu accelerated the attack speed and wanted to join forces with Zhao Kuo to completely destroy the Wei Kingdom.
Zhao Kuo easily came to Daliang.
He stood in the chariot and looked at the city in the distance. Daliang City was very tall and strong. Zhao Kuo and his army quickly surrounded the city. Before that, Long Yang Jun brought all the people outside the city to the city and stored a large amount of food in the city. He did not know the situation on the battlefield in the north, so he could only place his hope on Li Mu, hoping that he could last until the day when Li Mu came to rescue.
Meng Wu naturally swept the rest of the Wei State and finally came to Daliang.
Meng Wu came to visit the chief general Zhao Kuo. Meng Wu was really exhausted. He had many strategic deployments in his heart, and these Qi people could not complete them at all. Meng Wu felt like he was driving a tattered carriage, which made him very tired. Zhao Kuo gave him a few days off and at the same time ordered the entire army to create various siege equipment... to prepare to attack Daliang City. The Daliang City was particularly chaotic, and the people were also very scared.
After sufficient preparations, Zhao Kuo launched an attack on Daliang.
Long Yangjun stood on the city wall and killed one soldiers who had climbed the city after another. He shouted, motivating the soldiers to kill the enemy and began to defend Daliang City to the death. The Daliang city wall was tall and after several generations of kings, the Qin army could not easily capture the city. As more and more people died in battle, Zhao Kuo could not sit still. Then, Zhao Kuo discovered something. Daliang was on the edge of the Yellow River, and the river water whistled by several miles away from the city. The terrain of Daliang City was not high.
Zhao Kuo frowned and stopped attacking Daliang.
Meng Wu was a little confused. There were not many guards in Daliang. If you continue to attack, you will be able to break the city sooner or later. Why did Wu Chenghou stop attacking the city? He saw Zhao Kuo's face hesitant, and he took his soldiers around the river all day long, not knowing what he was hesitating. Two days passed, and finally, an envoy of the Qin army came outside Daliang City with Zhao Kuo's letters and asked to pay homage to the King of Wei.
Long Yangjun originally didn't want the Qin army to enter the city, but after thinking about it, he thought that the other party suddenly stopped attacking these days, so he guessed whether the Qin army wanted to negotiate peace, so he put down the hanging basket and let the Qin envoy enter the city. However, the Qin envoy seemed very tough and said that the letter was to be watched by the King of Wei, but he was unwilling to tell Long Yangjun that Long Yangjun was ineffective in intimidation and could only take him to the palace.
King Zeng of Wei sat decadently in the palace, with wine in front of him.
"Meet Mr. Wei... This is a letter written by Marquis Wu Cheng to you." The messenger leaned over and bowed for a long time, and then handed the letter to Long Yangjun. Long Yangjun delivered the letter to King Wei and stood beside him curiously. Wei Zeng opened the letter tremblingly.
