Chapter 552
The Yuyang War ended with the Yan army's defeat.
King Zangtu of Yan fled to Yuyang City and looked back, and saw more than a hundred cavalry left behind, and they were all covered with arrows, with blood soaked in heavy armor. Thinking of the defeat of more than 200,000 troops in battle, a huge feeling of annoyance suddenly rose from his chest, and then Zangtu's old face turned red, as if he was about to seep blood.
Then Zangtu groaned and fell down from the horse's back.
When the personal soldiers who followed him quickly turned over and dismounted to rescue Zangtu from the ground, they saw that Zangtu was already as bright as gold paper and was as angry as a wanderer. One of the old soldiers was well aware of medical treatment and reached out to put Zangtu's pulse. His face suddenly changed. The disaster was happening, and the King of Yan was about to collapse.
At this moment, a tide of killing sound suddenly came from behind.
Looking back quickly, I saw that the dark Zhao army was sweeping overwhelmingly. The blue flag on its head was fluttering in the wind, with a big "white" embroidered on it.
"The Zhao army is chasing us!"
"Bai Xuan personally led his troops to kill him!"
"Run, everyone, run..."
From time to time, soldiers shouted and ran past each other. In the distance, they could vaguely hear the sound of Zhao army's horse hooves and the angrily scolding and scolding. More than a hundred relatives looked panicked and did not dare to enter Yuyang City again. They just protected Zangtu and ran away in a hurry to the east.
#############
The Zhao army took advantage of the victory to pursue and captured Yuyang without any effort.
Bai Xuan pressed his sword and strode to the top of Yuyang City. After this battle, more than 200,000 Yan troops were destroyed. Although the remaining 40,000 to 50,000 Northern Diao Cavalry were watching, it was impossible to cause any waves. In short, the destruction of Yan State was just around the corner. He could free up his hands to rescue Handan after the capture of Wushou and ordered his troops.
The only thing that made Bai Xuan feel a little regretful was that he failed to kill Zangtu in front of the formation.
It was going to be late. If you chase it, you might be attacked by the Northern Diao Cavalry. Bai Xuan immediately ordered the troops to be withdrawn and ordered the collection of wine, meat and food from Yuyang City to reward the entire army.
That night, the lights in Yuyang City were brightly lit, and laughter resounded throughout the night sky.
Bai Xuan also set up a banquet in the headquarters and had a banquet with more than a dozen generals under his command. When the wine was in full swing, a personal soldier suddenly rushed into the lobby of the headquarters with a panic expression, bowed to Bai Xuan in a hurry, and said in a panic: "General, the disaster is happening!"
"Nothing is the most common thing, where does the disaster come from?" Bai Xuan frowned and was displeased. More than ten generals also had bad expressions.
The personal soldier calmed down and whispered: "General, I just received a report from Handan. The king has issued an edict to abdicate. The prime minister Zhang Jing has succeeded to the throne as King Zhao and has welcomed the Chu army into Handan City!"
The wine cup raised by Bai Xuan stopped in the air, just staring at his personal soldiers.
More than a dozen generals were stunned when they heard this. They couldn't believe their ears. The king abdicated? The country succeeded to the throne and even welcomed the Chu army into Handan City. Where did this follow?
"What did you say?!" After a long time, Bai Xuan finally came back from his great shock, jumped up, then strode forward and grabbed the breastplate of his personal soldiers. His straight eyes were about to invade the depths of his personal soldiers' eyes, and then shouted loudly, "What did you say just now? You dare to talk nonsense again and delude the morale of the army. You will definitely kill you!"
The personal soldiers were both devastated and said in a trembling voice: "General, villain, villain..."
"Shut up and drag it down with me and whip it eighty times!" Bai Xuan did not allow him to say anything at all. He directly ordered the personal soldiers outside the tent to drag the personal soldiers who came to report the news and execute the execution.
The sound of whips and screams of the personal soldiers soon rang out outside the tent.
More than a dozen generals looked at each other, Bai Xuanqiang smiled and said, "This guy must have drunk too much, so he drank the general's headquarters and went crazy. Come on, generals, drink some more cups..."
More than a dozen generals were suspicious, but they did not dare to show it. They had to raise their wine cups to pay homage to Bai Xuan.
However, after this disturbance, the originally warm atmosphere of the banquet disappeared. Bai Xuan and the generals barely drank a few more cups of wine, but finally lost all their interest. At that moment, the generals stood up and said goodbye. Bai Xuan ordered the personal soldiers who reported the news to sneak into the lobby and asked in detail about the cause of the great change in Handan.
After learning the whole story, Bai Xuan felt as if he was dead.
This is really a way to remove the firewood from the bottom of the pot. Seeing that Yan State was about to be destroyed and Zhao State's strategic environment was about to improve greatly, but unexpected changes occurred in Handan at such a barrier!
Bai Xuan never expected that King Zhao Zhang Ao would choose to abdicate and give way to the wise!
It would be fine if he really gave up the wise, but Zhang Ao gave the throne to Zhang Jing, a treacherous and treacherous person. Zhang Jing, a treacherous and treacherous person, had always secretly colluded with the people of Chu. As expected, as soon as he ascended the throne, he hurriedly welcomed the Chu army into Handan City. With an imperial edict, he turned from a general to a usurpant minister.
The news has not spread yet, so it is still worry-free for the time being, but Bai Xuan could not imagine what choice would his 100,000 Zhao army under his command make? Will they follow him back to Handan City, expel Zhang Jing, and welcome Zhang Ao? Or will they obey Zhang Jing's orders and tie themselves up with Handan?
Just as Bai Xuan and the Heavenly Man fought, the sound of footsteps suddenly sounded outside the plane.
Then another personal soldiers hurried in and reported in panic: "General, the big thing is wrong. General Zhao Deng, the left general, has led a large group of troops to surround the headquarters!"
"Zhao Deng? Hehe." Bai Xuan suddenly burst into tears and then laughed bitterly.
The left general Zhao Deng is therefore the distant nephew of General Zhao Wu, who is quite capable. Bai Xuan boasted of being open-minded and did not kill the company after killing Zhao Wu, so Zhao Deng was able to save his life and military power. If Zhao Deng had a special intention, he would not be able to make any trouble, but at such a critical moment...

On the northern suburbs of Yuyang, Gushui left bank.
The 50,000 Northern Diao Cavalry who was killed in Meng was stationed here. The Northern Diao Cavalry also participated in the battle during the day, but it could not change the outcome of the Yan army's defeat. After all, the Northern Diao Cavalry who was killed in Meng was all Qing cavalry. The Zhao army, who was pushing over flat like a wall, also had a long bow with a range far exceeding the cavalry. The Northern Diao Cavalry did not have many solutions.
When Meng Liao strode into the central army's tent, he saw his father and brother surrounding him in front of the map to discuss matters. He said immediately: "Father, brother, just got the news that King Zangtu of Yan died on the way back to Wuzhong!"
"Is Zangtu dead?" Meng Feng and Meng Yuan looked at each other in shock and relieved.
Mengliao paused and said, "Also, General Bai Xuan of Zhao is also dead!"
Meng Feng was stunned when he heard this, but Meng Yuan screamed in shock: "What, Bai Xuan is dead too?"
"Well, Bai Xuan is dead, too." Meng Liao pointed his head and said, "And he was killed by the left general Zhao Deng. This Zhao Deng is said to be Zhao Wu's distant nephew, and this time he avenged his uncle."
"How could this happen?" Meng Yuan said in confusion, "Is this not consistent with common sense?"
"I don't know what the specific situation is." Meng Liao smiled bitterly and shook his head, and said again, "But the Zhao army in Yuyang City has begun to fight with each other. Just now, a Zhao army had already taken the South Gate and fled to Ji County."
Meng Feng thought for a while and ordered Meng Liao to say, "Liao'er, immediately collapse the Zangtu halfway, Bai Xuan was killed by his generals, and the news of the Zhao army's fire in Yuyang was reported to Luoyang."
"Here!" Meng Liao replied with a loud bang and took the order.
Watching Meng Liao's figure go away, Meng Yuan said again: "Father, did you take the opportunity to attack Yuyang?"
"No, before you figure out the whole story, it's better not to act rashly." Meng Feng was very serious and would rather give up some immediate interests than act rashly. He immediately ordered Meng Yuandao, "It's better to send more scouts to closely monitor the movements of Zhao's army in Yuyang City."

King Han Xin of Han was gently woken up by the eunuch from his sleep, breaking away from Feng Miaonu who was wrapped around him like an octopus. King Han Xin of Han Xin of Han stepped out of the bedroom with sleepy eyes, and asked while wearing his clothes: "What's the matter? This is a deep and midnight disturbing me of my dream."
The eunuch bent slightly, followed behind King Han Xin with all his steps, and said, "King, you have just received a report from Handan Fei. King Zhang Ao of Zhao has abdicated and given up the wise!"
"You mean?" King Han Xin of Han was shocked and his sleepiness disappeared. "Zhang Ao abdicated?!"
"Yes, Zhang Ao has given up his throne to Zhang Jing!" said the eunuch, "not only that, Zhang Jing also abolished the Lianheng alliance and instead joined the Hezong alliance. The 100,000 troops of the Crown Prince Xiang Zheng have also entered Handan City! It is said that King Zhao Zhang Jing has condemned the flying cavalry to Yan State and secretly ordered the left general Zhao Deng to capture and kill Bai Xuan."
"Why, why is it so suddenly?" King Han Xin of Han couldn't help feeling a little upset.
After calming down, King Han Xin of Han ordered the eunuchs again: "Hurry up, summon the prime minister, the military advisor and the general enter the palace. If I want to see them, I will see them soon!" Such a big thing happened in Zhao State. The strength comparison between the two major camps of Chu and Han has become unbalanced, and its momentum is as bright as the sky, and South Korea must also choose the side as soon as possible.

Xianyang, Weiyang Palace.
The night was as cool as water, and King Liu Heng of Han was leaning on the attic looking up at the bright moon in the starry sky.
Amid the light footsteps, a graceful figure walked out from the attic, but it was Queen Dou Yifang. Dou Yifang put the light fur in his hand on Liu Heng and said softly: "King, the night is cold, are you going back to rest?"
Liu Heng turned around and smiled faintly at Dou Yifang, saying, "Queen, please go to bed first, I want to stay here for a while."
Dou Yifang sighed helplessly. She understood Liu Heng's mood at this moment. She suddenly learned the bad news about the Grand Tutor and Grand Tutor Chen Ping. How could he not be sad? After Chen Ping's death, the old ministers left to the King by the previous king became increasingly withered. The King witnessed such a full moon, and it was normal for him to touch the scene and be sad.
At this moment, a noise suddenly came from the attic.
Dou Yifang frowned and leaned out of the tower and looked down. When he saw an eunuch moving his fat body, he ran over the round arch bridge panting and heading straight to the attic. Seeing the eunuch's rushing look, Dou Yifang suddenly paused in his heart. No, I'm afraid something happened again. (To be continued.
