The betrayal and surrender to the Wei army in Heyangyi made Li He and Ying Qian very angry. When Ying Qian repeatedly emphasized that he would agree to punish Heyangyi in the future, Li He, who was the first to react, suddenly said something to Ying Qian.

"After that being said, how dare Gongsun Yan suddenly invade Heyang?"

Ying Qian didn't care at first, but when he thought about it carefully, he felt that the situation was wrong.

You should know that although Li He and Shao Liang both denied it, he was sure that Shao Liang and Han had an alliance in private, so the question arises. Why did Han Ju, the chief general of the 120,000 Wei and Han coalition forces, sit idly by and watch Gongsun Yan invade Heyang?

You said that Gongsun Yan was determined to act alone?

Don't joke, Gongsun Yan is not a fool, and he is not sure, how dare he do this when Han Ju clearly opposes it? Aren't he afraid that Han Ju will use this as an excuse to withdraw from the battle?

In this way, there is only one answer left, that is, for what reason Han Ju forced to surrender to Gongsun Yan.

So, what is the reason?

"Zhao State?!"

Li He and Ying Qian both expressed their guesses at the same time, and both of them showed a little shock and worry on their faces.

"If this is true, it will be troublesome..." Ying Qian frowned.

You should know that the reason why Qin dared to invade Hexi and even attacked Wei this time was because Zhao dragged down the main force of Wei. However, once Wei ended the war with Zhao, Qin faced Wei alone, it would undoubtedly be more difficult. After all, in terms of comprehensive national strength, Qin was still inferior to Wei.

"I want to go back to Liyang."

He said something to Li He, and Ying Qian immediately recruited Gongsun Jia. After explaining the current situation, he ordered Gongsun Jia to temporarily command the Qin army.

In addition, he also made a new arrangement for the current military deployment of the Qin and Liang coalition forces, and transferred Gongsun Zhuang, who was stationed in Linjin, and Shaoliang troops led by Li He and Wei Zhu, to Xincheng in the north of Herong Kingdom to prevent the Wei and Han coalition forces from attacking Xincheng after obtaining Heyangyi.

After arranging all this, Ying Qian hurriedly took the guards back to Liyang and discussed the matter with King Qin and Wei Yang.

After Ying Qian left, Li He sent Hu Ben to invite Wei Zhu, then climbed up to the city wall, looked at the Wei and Han alliance army far outside the city, and watched the Wei and Han alliance army move northward.

Not long after, Wei Zhu came to the city wall. At this time, Wei Zhu had already learned the news of Heyang's change of ownership from Hu Ben. As soon as he saw Li He, he asked anxiously: "Is Heyang really lost?"

Li He nodded and said, "It was a message sent by Doctor Yin's family's servants. I think Doctor Yin would not make such a joke to us."

Wei Zhu was shocked and angry, gritted his teeth and cursed: "I will kill those damn clans in the future!"

"Let's talk about this later."

Li He interrupted Wei Zhu's words and whispered: "The most urgent task is to reinforce the new city... Ying Qian returned to Liyang to discuss this matter. Before leaving, he asked our army and Gongsun Zhuang to reinforce the new city. The generals of the camp will gather soldiers and we will transfer immediately."

"immediately?"

Wei Zhu looked outside the city and looked at the 120,000 Wei and Han coalition forces that were moving north.

As if he had guessed his concerns, Li He explained: "Wait for the Wei and Han alliance to leave first."

He was not worried that the Xincheng would fall. After all, although Xincheng was not the key garrison of the Qin army before, there were at least 5,000 Qin troops in the city, and the Wei and Han coalition forces did not have siege equipment, so they should not be able to break through the Xincheng in a short period of time.

Moreover, Gongsun Yanxin had Heyang, and he thought he would not attack Xincheng immediately. He would probably choose to station troops in Heyang for a few days and raise his weak morale, which was terrified by Shaoliang's military.

"OK."

Wei Zhu nodded and then left with a curse against the people of Heyang.

About an hour later, when all the Wei and Han allied forces on the east side of Cangcheng left, Li He and Wei Zhuo also brought five thousand crossbowmen and a thousand young Liang soldiers out of the city to the new city.

It is worth mentioning that when they left, Gongsun Jia led generals such as Miao Lin, Gan Xing, Xun Xia to see him off.

To be honest, among these people, Li He had a few more talks with Miao Lin, and the other Qin generals were just nodding. Even out of courtesy, Li He did not expect that these Qins would come together to see them off.

Even Wei Zhuyi sighed: "If the Qin people can face you, in fact, it will not be difficult for the Qin people to deal with, it is much better than the Wei people...uh."

After blurting out his words, he realized that his words had overturned the ship. After all, not to mention that Li He was from Wei, Dongliang Jun, Zhai Hu, etc., they were all from Wei people. He was an official at the level of a doctor at Shaoliang, and only Fanpang Dafu Sima Zhuo was a native of Shaoliang.

Looking at the awkward look on Wei Zhu's face, Li He smiled and didn't care: "Actually it's the same. As long as you have the force to make others afraid of, others will choose to talk to you well. Therefore, the key is that I, Shaoliang, must become strong."

Wei Zhushen nodded with consent.

At the same time, Xia Yangjun and Han Ju led their troops across Heshui and arrived at Heyangyi.

It has to be said that when the Wei and Han Allied Forces entered this prosperous city, they were welcomed by local people led by the Tian family and He family in the city, but Xia Yang Jun could not laugh.

Although this Heyang City once belonged to him, it was assigned to Shaoliang by Qin before and became a city of Shaoliang. Shaoliang was both small and poor, and finally got a prosperous city. How could he give up easily?

Even if the gentler Dongliang Jun was willing to return it, I believe that the young sects such as Li He and Zhai Hu would not agree, let alone that Dongliang Jun had returned the seal and cut off his former friendship with the Wei Kingdom.

Under such circumstances, Gongsun Yan's rash invasion of Heyang City would only further intensify the conflict between Shaoliang and Wei State, prompting Shaoliang to stand firmly on the side of the Qin army.

Some people may ask, as an important official of the Wei State and former commander of the garrison in Hexi, does not want to regain Heyang?

In fact, he also wanted to, but he advocated taking the Yo-Yang from Shaoliang in a gentle way, such as through negotiations and exchanging cities instead of sending troops to forcefully retake them, further intensifying the conflict between Shaoliang and Wei.

With a stern face, she took a car from the street where people were welcomed by Heyang. Under the leadership of Rang Ni, Xia Yang Jun came to the place where Yin Qi, a doctor from Heyang in front of Shaoliang, was imprisoned.

Having said that, it may be because of unwritten rules, or because Yin Qi is over fifty years old, Wei general Rang Ni did not take Yin Qi anyway after capturing Yin Qi. He just put him under house arrest in the residence of the Dafu, including Yin Qi's clan, with a total of one or two hundred retainers.

When Xia Yangjun walked into the Dafu Mansion surrounded by his Wei army, he saw Yin Qi sitting in the front hall with a cane.

If Xia Yang Jun and Yin Qi had some friendship before, then today, Yin Qi would have no good face when he saw Xia Yang Jun. He sarcastically said with a expressionless face: "Congratulations to Xia Yang Jun for regaining Heyang. I wonder how Xia Yang Jun will treat our prisoners below?"

Xia Yang Jun naturally did not want to take the blame for Gongsun Yan, and sighed and said, "Old Yin, this time he was seeking Heyang was because Gongsun Yan was determined to act alone. I have repeatedly dissuaded him, but Gongsun Yan refused to obey... Although Heyang is crucial to our Wei State, please believe that I hope to exchange Heyang back from your country with a gentler method."

Hearing this, Yin Qi's face cleared a little, and then he thought of another thing, and tried Xia Yang Jun and said, "Can you... not dissuade General Han Ju?"

Xia Yangjun certainly knew Yin Qi's temptation and said without any concealment: "I don't hide it from Mr. Yin. Yesterday, Han Ju almost broke up with Gongsun Yan, but in the end he compromised because..."

He took two steps forward and whispered to Yin Qi: "It was because Gongsun Yan got the news from Daliang that he learned that our Wei general Pang Juan had captured Handan."

Even though Yin Qi lived for most of his life, he changed his expression slightly when he heard this. After all, he also understood what it meant to capture Handan by Wei.

He was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked Xia Yangjun, "Xia Yangjun revealed this matter to me, I don't know what the purpose is?"

Xia Yang Jun carefully considered the words and said, "I have been stationed in Yuanli for many years and have fought side by side with Shaoliang to fight against Qin. Please believe my kindness to Shaoliang. If Shaoliang is willing to withdraw from this battle and no longer block our army from attacking Qin, I will do my best to persuade the king to give up punishing Shaoliang."

Yin Qi looked at Xia Yangjun in a flash, and suddenly said with a smile: "It's not that I am despising Xia Yangjun, but I think Xia Yangjun can't do it... Xia Yangjun cannot even dissuade Gongsun Yan, so how can I dissuade King Wei?"

"..." Xia Yangjun was speechless.

Seeing this, Yin Qi became more and more convinced of his judgment and shook his head and said, "I can send someone to convey Xia Yangjun's meaning to the country, but I cannot decide whether to withdraw from this battle. I also have to discuss and decide if I want to go out of this battle."

"Okay." Xia Yangjun nodded.

From the side, Rang Ni wanted to stop him, but was stopped by Xia Yangjun with his eyes.

After leaving, Rang Ni frowned and said to Xia Yangjun: "This old man doesn't believe Xia Yangjun's promise at all. The reason why he pretended to agree was simply to spread the story of Pang Juan's capture of Handan to the country..."

"What's the matter?"

Xia Yangjun said calmly: "Is there anything wrong with letting Shaoliang be afraid of withdrawing from this battle? Or do you want to continue to be harassed and attacked by Shaoliang's soldiers endlessly?... Besides, even if our army can keep the secret, Han Ju will send someone to inform Shaoliang of this matter."

Rang Ni suddenly realized, but still said with some concern: "I can't make the decision on this matter, I need to ask Xiangbang for instructions."

Hearing this, Xia Yangjun couldn't help feeling a little sad. After all, Rang De's reaction once again proved that his prestige in the Wei army was far less than that of Gongsun Yan.

However, as Xia Yang Jun concluded, Gongsun Yan, who was good at calculating, did not reject the news that Wei State had captured Handan and scared Shaoliang. After all, just as Xia Yang Jun said, if Shaoliang army withdrew from this battle, it would be much easier for his Wei and Han coalition forces to deal with the Qin army.

Of course, this does not mean that Gongsun Yan gave up the idea of ​​punishing Shaoliang. However, compared with Shaoliang, Qin State's threat is even greater. It is not too late to clean up Shaoliang after finishing Qin State.

With Gongsun Yan's permission, Yin Zhi sent two tribes again to inform them of the news that Wei had captured Handan.

When these two men returned to Shaoliang, it happened that Zhai Hu had led 15,000 troops to dispatch troops in Xushui.

After thinking for a while, Zhai Hu ordered the troops to remain unmoved and to build a camp on the north bank of Xushui. At the same time, he sent people to Shaoliang City and Linjin to inform Dongliang Jun and Li He.

Only one day later, Li He also learned about this incident, thus confirming the fact that Wei State had indeed captured Handan.
