Infinite War Begins with Cao Thief

The new King of Zhao, Zhao Yan, found himself in a state of great joy.

In one word, cool!

It's so cool.

Not only did he inherit the throne as he wished, but he also took back the military power of Zhao's main force in the hands of Lian Po; in addition, Song Ji also introduced four sisters into the palace, allowing him to enjoy unprecedented pleasure; and Wei was actually willing to Yecheng and other places thanked Zhao for sending troops.

At this time, not only did he completely consolidate his throne and enjoy more beauties, he also suddenly gained international recognition, and his international status was greatly improved.

From today on, I am also an international policeman!

The only thing that made him unhappy was Lian Po's rebellion and Li Mu and others' opposition to establishing Song Ji as queen.

After Lian Po learned that Zhao Yan had replaced him with Wu Xiangjun Lecheng, he was furious and led his soldiers to attack Wuxiangjun Lecheng, but accidentally killed Lecheng!

In fact, Lian Po only defeated Le Cheng. Le Cheng was slightly injured and escaped with a few guards. Lian Po had no intention of killing Le Cheng.

But some people want to die.

On the way to escape, Le Cheng encountered assassins headed by Black and White Xuanjian.

Black and white Xuanjian is able to exert his combat power as he has just entered the third level of mythology. Among the mutant assassins around him, one named Jinmu and one named Youma have also reached the second level of mythology. In addition, there are a large number of assassins who are assistants of the first level of mythology. ; And not only were there not enough people around Le Cheng to form a military formation, but almost everyone was injured, so naturally he could only drink his anger on the spot.

The blame for Le Cheng's tragic death was naturally placed on Lian Po's head.

After confirming that Lian Po had gone away, Black and White Xuanjian carefully removed all the dead with other traces on their bodies. He also took Le Cheng's head and set up a pole next to the other Le Cheng family generals who were killed by Lian Po. , put on Le Cheng's head and pretended to be what Lian Po called him.

Disobeying military orders, wantonly exercising power, intercepting and killing angels... these crimes are enough to kill Lian Po ten times.

The king of Zhao will never tolerate this kind of provocation, and the Le family cannot let go of such deep hatred. You must know that the Le family has not only lost its leader Le Cheng, but also a large number of children, almost every family has died. Dai Xiao!

Zhao Yan, who was extremely dissatisfied with Lian Po's domineering behavior, sent Lejian to arrest Lian Po's family members and question them.

Obviously, Zhao Yan was going to kill Lian Po.

In fact, if Le Cheng had not died, Zhao Yan would have definitely left some room, but Le Cheng's death was a slap in the face of him, the King of Zhao, and even more so of the State of Zhao.

Zhao Yan was also forced into the corner.

Lejian immediately took his uncle Lecheng's son, his clan brother, to the Lianpo fiefdom, and then went on a killing spree against the Lianpo clan in the name of the Lianpo family's rebellion.

Because all this happened so fast, many war agents did not react, and in the end only a few branches of the Lianpo family were rescued.

Throughout the whole process of the Lian family's disaster, Li Ru, the instigator, did not take any action.

In fact, if Li Ru took action, relying on the time difference in intelligence, he would be able to rescue several of Lian Po's relatives. But if Lian Po meets his relatives one day, will he suspect that all this is a conspiracy? , are they all planned by Li Ru?

Here, we actually see the difference between Li Ru and his advisers. Li Ru is really vicious.

Li Ru must kill Le Cheng in order to force Lian Po's family to death. If Lian Po's family is dead, Lian Po will have endless hatred for Zhao Guo, and only then can he take revenge on someone who is willing to help him because of his hatred. The monarch is loyal and loyal; only then can he be willing to marry a wife and have children for the sake of the continuation of the family!

In terms of viciousness, Li Ru is actually far better than Song Jiang, Wu Yong and others, but Li Ru is far smarter than Song Jiang, Wu Yong and others. He will do things without leaving any trace, instead of like Song Jiang, Wu Yong and others, who openly killed the whole family and then made people surrender; this world is not a Liangshan hero per capita. After being killed, the whole family still reunites with others. , loyal.

In short, Li Ru is vicious enough and tight-lipped enough. He will not let any unnecessary insiders know the true situation of the matter, not even Dong Huang.

Because Dayu did not take action to save Lian Po's family, there was naturally no possibility of using Lian Po's family to blackmail or show favor to Lian Po. Lian Po could also rule out the possibility of getting the information in advance to plan the plot, or even being the instigator.

In the future, when Lian Po learns of Le Cheng's death and suspects that there is another conspiracy behind the death of Le Cheng and his family, he will not suspect Li Ru or Dayu who have not been seen in the whole process. Instead, he will suspect Those who were smart enough to save some of Lian Po's family members were exposed.

——Even if he doesn't doubt it at this time, he will doubt it if someone provokes him in the future.

And once Lian Po returns home in the future and learns the secrets of the war agent, this suspicion will only become greater.

Li Ru spent so much effort and went around in such a big circle, but he had already included Lian Po's reaction in case he returned home and learned the secret of the war agent.

As for which country Lian Po would go to after fleeing, Li Ru was not worried.

As far as the current situation is concerned, Lian Po's only choice is Qi.

Nowadays, the Jiuzhou and Yan Kingdom are almost destroyed, so there is no need to think about it;

South Korea is small in size, and is under the attack of Qin's army. The country is small and the people are weak, so there is no room for Lian Po to display, and it is not within the scope of Lian Po's consideration;

The hatred between Qin and Lian Po was very deep. Lian Po, who had resisted Qin for most of his life, even out of habit and instinct, would not seek refuge with Qin before he got the news that his whole family had been killed; after he got the news that his whole family had been killed, , maybe you will also suspect that this is Qin’s counterintuitive plan;

As for the Wei State, in history, after Lian Po defeated Le Cheng, he defected to the Wei State first and stayed there for a long time. When he saw that he was not trusted and was framed by Guo Kai, he lost his return. After the opportunity of Zhao State, he went to Chu State; Lianpo did not make any achievements in Chu State and finally died in Shouchun; however, the Wei State in this time and space is now being besieged by Qin State and Qi State. How could he possibly die? Lian Po wanted to make a name for himself as a famous general, not a fool who wanted to die;

If you go to Yu State, you have to pass through Qi State, but the crossing is not so easy, and who knows what the state of Yu State is? Naturally, Lian Po would not take risks easily.

Therefore, Lian Po's best and only choice now is to go to Qi.

After Lian Po went to Qi State, Dayu would naturally have a way to get him there, and all of this would be reasonable without leaving any clues.

At this stage, Dayu's lack of action on Lian Po's affairs just shows that Dayu is not aware of Lian Po's affairs. After Lian Po went to Qi State, if Dayu takes any action again, it will show Dayu's desire. The virtuous are like thirsty.

It can be said that Li Ru has calculated everything.

Poor Lian Po could never have imagined that Li Ru would go to this step in order to plot against him and get a chance to conquer him.

Although Song Ji's move was useful at other times besides dealing with Lian Po, it undoubtedly got off to a good start with Lian Po.

After committing the murder in passion, Lian Po went to Qi with his confidants as Li Ru expected.

Lian Po thought it over, and when he arrived in Qi, he persuaded the king of Qi to form an alliance with Qin to jointly destroy Zhao and divide the land of Yan and Zhao; and then to form an alliance with Yu to fight against Qin.

As for whether Qi Guo was so easy to persuade, he didn't think about it carefully.

In fact, Lian Po couldn't understand it either.

He is not a political strategist and does not know how to persuade people.

The second thing that made Zhao Yan unhappy not only made him relieved, but also made him extremely angry.

Zhao Yan was obsessed with Song Ji and worried about public opinion, so some people opposed him to make Song Ji queen. This originally made him relieved and gave him an excuse to explain to Song Ji. But the problem was that the person who took the lead in opposing him It’s the military general Li Mu!

What are you doing as a soldier?

The more ancient times, the less those in power like soldiers intervening in politics, because you can never tell whether the other party's views are personal views or a threat relying on the army under their command!

Especially a fierce man like Li Mu who single-handedly trained 200,000 elite soldiers!

Zhao Yan must take his words seriously, but he will definitely feel extremely unhappy in his heart.

Zhao Yan even speculated with the greatest malice that after Li Mu saw Lian Po's betrayal, he felt that he had become the number one military general in the Zhao Kingdom, so he became distracted.

Precisely because soldiers like Li Mu took the lead in opposing it, Zhao Yan wanted to push this matter forward.

The more you object, the more it means I did the right thing!

This is not a battle of spirits, but that he, the new king, must be able to suppress generals like Li Mu.

The dispute over great etiquette is not a dispute between spirits.

If the king is strong and his ministers are weak, if the king is weak and his ministers are strong, turning against Tiangang can be fatal.

For the monarch, right or wrong is not really important.

Zhao Yan decided to make Song Ji his concubine.

However, in order to minimize the negative impact, Zhao Yan decided not to directly accept his father's concubines, but let Song Ji go home and become a commoner woman, while he remarried Song Ji and Song Ji's sisters.

It sounds like he took off his pants and farted, but legally, Zhao Yan no longer married his father's concubine, but married a folk woman. At least he had a reasonable fig leaf.

It is the same as Li Zhi marrying Wu Zetian, a monk.

I've given you face, and I've made concessions. If you don't have a good eye at this time, then don't blame me for being rude.

Li Mu did not dare to object anymore at this time.

Even if Li Mu had an average political savvy, he understood at this time that Zhao Yan had already made the biggest concession. Anyone who opposed it would be seeking death.

However, what Zhao Yan did not expect was that after he asked Song Ji to return to her parents' home first, the people who greeted Song Ji were not his real parents and relatives, but the men of the vicious tracheitis Li Ru.

Song Ji, who was getting deeper and deeper, could only pretend that these were all her relatives, and slept with her "mother" at night. The external view was that the mother-daughter relationship was naturally connected.

However, it was Li Ru who really had a emotional connection with her.

"You, let me go, I, I called someone!"

Song Ji was almost crying.

As soon as she entered the room, she was hugged by a strange middle-aged man. Although this middle-aged man was pretty good-looking and far stronger than the two kings of Zhao, she was the woman who wanted to become the queen!

Song Ji struggled hard.

But how could Li Ru let her go?

"Calling someone? Aren't you afraid of ruining your reputation? Aren't you worried about the safety of your family? You don't want to be your queen anymore?"

Li Ru pulled off Song Ji's belt with a smile and threw Song Ji on the bed.

"You...you promised me..."

Song Ji is weak, pitiful and helpless.

Lihua looked at Li Ru with rain.

She was afraid, not of being played with, but of being caught by Zhao Wangyan.

She just drew her bow without looking back. From the moment she was seduced and coerced by Li Ru, she was destined to have no room for regret.

"Don't worry, as long as you get pregnant with my child and let our child become the next King of Zhao, you will be the most powerful woman in the Zhao Kingdom by then!"

Li Ru laughed and grabbed one of Song Ji's feet, pulled her over, and amid Song Ji's weak resistance, slowly pushed her jade legs forward...

Li Ru had the habit of secretly raising concubines outside the world of Song, Liao, Jin and Xia, but this was the first time he played with a queen.

Of course, Li Ru dared to play with this queen simply because he knew that Dong Huang had no interest in this kind of woman who had no name in history and was succeeded by his father after his father died. What's more, he was not playing with this woman for temporary pleasure. But for Dayu!

The war agents' various tricks of borrowing children reminded Li Ru, and made Li Ru realize that he could also have children through surrogacy! Let Song Ji, the future queen, be pregnant with his child until he gives birth to his son, then kill Zhao Yan and make his son the king of Zhao. He will then use Song Ji to control the Zhao court.

At that time, you can do all kinds of tricks.

If done correctly, it might be possible to force Li Mu into Dayu's camp!

Li Mu is an awesome person. Not only is he awesome, but his descendants are also very awesome in history. His grandson Li Zuoche was a first-rate counselor in the Chu and Han Dynasties in the late Qin Dynasty. He provided advice to Han Xin to help pacify Yan and Qi, and gained a great reputation. The Li family of Zhaojun, who was revered as the Hail God and one of the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes, was his descendant. In the Tang Dynasty, there were nine prime ministers, and in the Song Dynasty, there were also prime ministers.

Li Mu is actually far more suitable for having children than Gao Shun and Lian Po.

Binding ten monkeys from Gao Shun and Lian Po may not be as valuable as tying one monkey from Li Mu.

It is worth mentioning that among the four famous generals of the Warring States Period, Wang Jian and Li Mu have very good descendants. Wang Jian is the ancestor of the Wang family in Taiyuan and the Wang family in Langya; Li Mu is the ancestor of the Li family in Zhaojun. Two famous generals wanted to kill each other, but their descendants eventually became allies and married many times. It can only be said that fate played a trick on people.

In addition, Li Ru's ancestors in another time and space are actually related to Li Mu's family, but they are not just Li Mu's family.

Closer to home, let alone different worlds, even if they were in the same world, Li Ru would not be polite to these people who had different dreams from him.

For Dong Huang's great cause, Li Ru had good intentions on the hidden front.

Under Li Ru's careful planning, Zhao Yan, who didn't know how green his head was, finally got his wish and married Song Ji and her four sisters.

And until she got married, Song Ji was forced to serve Li Ru in her wedding clothes, and entered the wedding room with the hundreds of millions of dowries given to her by Li Ru.

During the whole process, although Song Ji stepped out of the house, Li Ru did not make room for King Zhao.

Under the influence of various factors, Song Ji finally got her wish and became the queen, but her heart became even more hung up.

Song Ji has realized how scary Li Ru is. He is a ruthless bastard with no bottom line, but she has fallen deeper and deeper into the trap. She does not dare to resist at all. Not only does she not dare to resist, she also has to cooperate with him to pretend that she really has four sisters. , let them use poison and incense to gradually control Zhao Yan, and let Zhao Yanyue join the obsession; they also had to secretly serve Li Ru with four people and strive to conceive Li Ru's child.

She even had to compete with four women for the first one to conceive Li Ru's child, and it had to be a boy so that she could be established as the prince.

Only with Li Ru's son being established as the prince, she would not have to worry about being killed by Li Ru.

However, what Song Ji didn't know was that for Li Ru, even if she gave birth to a son for Li Ru, Li Ru would not feel the slightest guilt if he wanted to kill her.

Li Ru is not Dong Huang. In Li Ru's eyes, tools are just tools.

Song Ji didn't know this, and instead tried her best to compete for favor. However, she was very uneasy to find that she was no match for the four women in terms of favor.

What Song Ji didn't know was that the true identities of these four people were experienced oirans in the Dayu Jiaofang Division.

Dong Huang did not allow the common people who returned to him to be trafficked into Jiaofangsi or other similar institutions, nor did he allow the common people women who returned to him to become spies to sell their bodies to obtain information.

This was Dong Huang's insistence.

But Li Ru does not have the nationalistic plot of Dong Huang.

Not only Li Ru, but also Jia Xu felt that Dong Huang was somewhat benevolent as a woman.

For people like Jia Xu and Li Ru, Dayu is not important at all. They are loyal to Dong Huang. As for the country Dayu, it is just a symbol parasitic on Dong Huang.

Dayu and the others don't care much, let alone the hundreds of millions of women.

However, Jia Xu did not need to care about these matters, and Li Ru would not conflict with Dong Huang head-on, but instead had a brush with each other.

Is it okay for me to secretly train Jiaofangsi’s women?

Is it okay for me to train the natives secretly?

Anyway, I don’t touch the red line, and with Dong Huang’s decentralized character, I naturally won’t take care of the rest.

Li Ru's idea was supported by Dong Fei, Dong Yi, Chen Tiao, Zhao Song, Jing Shan and other senior leaders of Baize Listening Organization.

These people, especially the sisters Dong Yi and Dong Yi, do not take women seriously. In their view, shouldn't all the people be tools to sacrifice everything for His Majesty?

It was their blessing to be able to dedicate everything to Dong Huang.

But they would not take the initiative to disobey Dong Huang, but also play the edge.

Friends who often watch the edge female anchors know that playing the edge is a test of ability and skills. If you play less, it is no different from not playing, and naturally there will be no traffic, rich men, and gifts; if you play too much, it is easy to be blocked; those who seem to be playing the edge, and they look normal in dress and dance, and have no bad orientation, but in fact they are advanced at a glance and can fly across the country, are the best.

And those who have just started live broadcasting and have no big guys to give gifts are the easiest to make an appointment.

After the appointment, not only can you play the edge, but you can also play the edge.

There are even some who are asked to be sold.

Let's get back to the point. Li Ru has a lot of special talents under his command, and there are even more women.

Several specially trained women easily fascinated Zhao Yan and made him weak.

This made some war agents of Zhao anxious, and they also wanted to send women.

Sending women can stabilize the relationship!

With Zhao Yan's character, maybe the son born by him and the female attendant of the war agent can become the next King of Zhao!

Lian Po fled, Le Cheng died, and Lian Po's family was destroyed, which caused great losses to the war agents of Zhao. Many people's investments were wasted, but it was not a big problem. Zhao still had Li Mu and the famous ministers and generals under the command of these war agents!

Even if Qin came, they were not afraid, and the longer it took, the less afraid they were.

They were confident that they could develop a unique military formation, form elite legions, and compete with Qin in the future.

These war agents who were deeply integrated with Zhao felt that they were unprecedentedly powerful.

What they are thinking about now is a longer-term layout, such as turning the next King of Zhao into theirs.

This point is what Li Ru thought of together.

However, with Li Ru's overtaking on the curve, they are destined to be losers-Song Ji and other women are pregnant!

The child they were pregnant with was naturally Li Ru's, because every time they were happy with Zhao Wangyan, they had to use drugs to clean up under the supervision of the other four people.

Only after being desecrated by Li Ru could they not be cleaned up.

The pregnancy of Song Ji and others made Zhao Wangyan feel that he was blessed.

It happened that Zhao Wangxie was also overdrawn recently, so he began to care about political affairs strategically.

Although the Zhao army was uneasy because of Lian Po's attack on Lecheng and the extermination of Lian Po's family, Zhao Wang still decided to send troops to help Wei.

Zhao Wang called the generals Pang Nuan, Lejian, Hu Zhe, Fu Di, Qing She, Zhao Cong, Yan Ju and others to discuss.

The above people are all the most important generals in Zhao State. Except for Pang Nuan and Lejian, they are all the real confidants of Zhao Wang.

For example, Hu Zhe and Zhao Cong have always been the generals of the most elite cavalry and archery corps of Zhao State. The core of Li Mu's current 200,000-strong flying general corps was also the 50,000-strong cavalry and archery corps stationed on the border at the beginning; Fu Di, Qing She, Yan Ju and others are the generals of the elite infantry corps and the chariot corps.

Among them, Fu Di and Qing She are still old people in Zhao Yan's palace.

As for Pang Nuan and Le Jian, the trust of King Zhao in them is between yes and no, but after all, they are the talents of great generals or descendants of famous generals, and their abilities are still very strong.

The reason why Li Mu was not called was because Li Mu was sent by Zhao Yan to fight against the northern foreign tribes. The foreign tribes in the north are not only the Xiongnu, but also Loufan, Donghu, Linhu, etc., and there is Yan State further away. Li Mu, you can go to the north to play first.

In fact, during the reign of Zhao Yan in history, facing the attack of Qin State, Li Mu had almost no opportunity to show his ability, and was not even as important as Pang Nuan. Li Mu was always pressed on the border, and at most he fought against Yan State. It was not until Zhao Yan's son Zhao Qian succeeded to the throne and General Hu Zhe was defeated and killed by Qin General Huan Ji, after 100,000 people were beheaded, that Li Mu was forced to be transferred back.

Li Mu was not very trusted. In addition to his character and his opposition to Zhao Wang Yan's taking his father's woman as a concubine, there may be a more important reason - Li Mu was from Qin.

Li Mu's grandfather was Qin Si Tu Li Tan. Li Tan's second son, Li Ji, who was also Li Mu's biological father, was Qin's Taifu. Li Ji had three sons: Li Yun, Li Mu, and Li Qi. Since Li Mu, this branch of the Li family settled in Zhao County.

Li Mu's grandfather Li Tan also had an eldest son named Li Chong. That's right, he was Li Chong, the prefect of Longxi in Qin. Li Chong was Li Xin's biological grandfather and Li Mu's biological uncle! In terms of seniority, Li Xin of Qin had to call Li Mu of Zhao his uncle, and he was an uncle within the fifth degree of mourning.

Today, Li Chong is still serving as a deputy general in Meng Ao's army.

So, how can you let Zhao use Li Mu?

It is difficult for the King of Zhao, especially in this war against Qin. Li Mu should go wherever he wants.

It is precisely because of this relationship that Zhao sent Li Mu to Qin in history; it was not willing to believe Li Mu's loyalty when the country was about to be destroyed, but would rather believe that Li Mu was ready to surrender to Qin.

There is no way, Li Mu's background is too Qin.

Many war agents do not know Li Mu's family background, and always complain about Li Mu, but in fact, the King of Zhao is not necessarily really stupid, and he must not use the famous general, but he really has no other way.

It is naturally no problem to use Li Mu, a Qin man, to fight against the northern foreign races, but if he is used to fight Qin, it is inevitable that people will hesitate.

Because of the previous experience of Lian Po, everyone in the military meeting agreed with King Zhao Yan's plan to save Wei.

"If we can take this opportunity to contact South Korea, Yu State and other countries to send troops and cut off Meng Ao's retreat, we might be able to encircle Meng Ao's troops in Daliang! Once Meng Ao's troops are destroyed, we, Zhao, might be able to take advantage of the situation. Recover the territory occupied by Qin!"

Pang Nuan said.

He could see at a glance the biggest problem of Meng Ao's troops - they attacked Wei first without destroying South Korea, which was closer to Qin. This could easily cut off South Korea's retreat.

"Even if it doesn't work, we can conquer the Wild King and other places, right? Moreover, this is actually a good opportunity to conquer Qi. Even if we cannot completely annihilate Meng Ao's troops, our country can still contact Wei, Yu and others to take advantage of the situation to conquer Qi. Qi This move of the state has angered the state of Wei, and the state of Yu is probably also very interested in Huaibei and other places that originally belonged to the state of Chu, right? "

Le Jian also proposed a way out.

Lejian's proposal immediately made Zhao Wangyan's eyes light up.

As a king, he is certainly not satisfied with carving up the Yan State with Qi State. If he can take advantage of the situation to attack Qi and seize the Yan State's land occupied by Qi State and even all the land of Qi State north of the river, he has always been pressed in his heart. ambition.

In fact, not only the king of Qi, whose territory expanded rapidly, but also the king of Zhao, Yan.

"The State of Qi has taken in that thief Lian Po! Sooner or later, we will attack Qi!"

Zhao Wangyan said it confidently.

The retreat was ready, and Zhao Wangyan finally made the decision to attack Qin.

Zhao Wangyan took Pang Nuan, who had a good reputation among the princes, as his general, and Hu Zhu, the son of Leyi, who had fought for many years with the famous general Lian Po, as his deputy generals. He led an army of 300,000 people and marched southward, and then fought on the front line of the wild king. , was stopped by Li Chong.

Meng Ao would not make the fatal mistake of not caring about his retreat. Meng Ao knew very well that as long as he blocked the front line of the Yellow River, Zhao would be helpless.

Seeing that the Qin army was indeed on guard, Pang Nuan left his troops to confront Li Chong. He personally led the army to quietly attack Qi, and unexpectedly attacked Qi's Rao'an (southwest of today's Yanshan, Hebei). At this time, Rao'an , located south of the river, is an important hub connecting the core areas of Qi State with the newly acquired land of Yan State.

Now that Rao'an is under attack, Zhao's army can advance to threaten Linzi, the capital of Qi, and retreat to attack the lands occupied by Yan. The situation suddenly becomes extremely unfavorable for Qi.

Zhao State used the strategy of "surrounding Wei and rescuing Zhao" invented by Qi State to surround Qi State and rescue Wei State. A piece of ironic black humor was staged.

News of Pang Nuan's attack on Qi was still brewing. On another battlefield, Qi also encountered setbacks.

Yongqiu.

After Qi's commander-in-chief Tian Zhang easily defeated the Yongqiu defenders, he encountered Wei Liao's troops who came for reinforcements.

Tian Zhang took Qi warriors as the vanguard and fought against Wei Liao's troops, winning all three battles.

Tian Zhang, who had won successive victories, targeted the Wei Liao Army, the last field force of the Wei State, and launched a frantic pursuit.

In Tian Zhang's opinion, as long as Wei Liao's army is completely defeated, the southern territory of Wei will undoubtedly fall into the hands of Qi, and he will become a great hero of Qi.

The fact was just as Tian Zhang thought, the Qi army was invincible. Not only did Wei Liao's troops dare not fight anymore, but the cities along the way also surrendered one after another.

Tian Zhang was overjoyed. On the one hand, he divided his troops to capture and occupy Chengkuang, Shou, Yue, Yangxia and other places south of Yongqiu. On the other hand, Wei Liao's troops were pursuing him, and the pursuit crossed the chasm.

Honggou is the earliest man-made canal connecting the Yellow River and the Huaihe River in ancient China. It diverts the Yellow River water from Xingyang in the west, turns southeast through Daliang City to Chendu, and injects the Yingshui River in the south, successfully connecting the Ji and Pu rivers between the Yellow River and the Huaihe River. , Bian, Sui, Ying, Wu, Ru, Si, He and other major rivers are connected to form a chasm water system.

At the same time, because the Huaihe River passes through the Hangou and is the same as the Yangtze River water system, so the divide can be regarded as connecting the Yangtze River water system to a certain extent.

The Chu-He-Han boundary in chess also refers to the gap.

As soon as Tian Zhang's army crossed the chasm, they realized that the situation was not good.

Although Wei Liao's army did not cross the border and attack them, a large number of enemy troops appeared on the opposite side. The main force of the enemy army was wearing fiery red armor and was the famous blood-coated army.

“What does Korea mean?”

Seeing that the Korean army did not take the initiative to attack, Tian Zhang couldn't help but want to send someone to negotiate. Unexpectedly, at this time, there was a cry of killing from behind.

Tian Zhang stood in panic and looked back, only to find that an elite cavalry emerged from nowhere and directly overwhelmed his rear army, burning not only the baggage but also the bridges.

(The blue arrow indicates the direction in which Wei Liao's army retreated to lure the enemy, the dark red arrow indicates the direction in which Huang Zhong's troops are advancing, and the dark red arrow on the far left is the direction in which Xia Houyuan's troops are advancing)

"Fell into a trap!"

Tian Zhang was shocked.

Such elite cavalry is naturally only found in the Yu State. It is obvious that the Wei State, South Korea, and the Yu State have been connected in series at some point, and the Wei State has voluntarily become a bait.

What should we do?

Tian Zhang was extremely panicked when facing the situation where his elite were divided.

He wanted to retreat, but with the current water level in the chasm, it was still possible to cross the river without his chariot and armor. He would definitely not be able to cross the river with these; but if he abandoned his chariot and armor, what would be the use of crossing the river?

【Fight! 】

Tian Zhang gritted his teeth and loudly encouraged his subordinates: "Soldiers, there is a chasm behind us. There is no way to retreat, and all the food, grass and baggage are in the rear. They have been burned. If we want to survive, the only way to survive is to fight with our backs against the water and face the front." Only by defeating the Korean army in front and seizing their food and grass can we have a glimmer of hope! Soldiers, charge forward!"

Tian Zhang's words undoubtedly inspired Qi Jun's last bit of courage.

Looking at the Qi army officers rushing towards them, Guo Jia and Wei Liao smiled.

Want a decisive battle?

Only a fool would accompany you in a decisive battle at this time!

The allied forces of South Korea and Wei retreated in an orderly manner.

It was only then that Tian Zhang discovered that there were barracks behind the Han and Wei coalition forces.

Obviously, the Korean and Wei coalition forces were prepared in advance instead of hastily setting up an ambush.

Tian Zhang's heart sank to the bottom.

Tian Zhang subconsciously looked around, and as he expected, in the three directions outside the chasm where the Qi army came out, the Han and Wei coalition forces had built forts.

But when it comes to this, what can he do?

He could only command the army to rush forward and see if he could create a miracle.

It turns out that miracles are not so easy to create.

Guo Jia had been repairing this fortress for half a month, not for anything else but for today's battle.

When the Qi army rushed over, thousands of arrows were fired in the camp. Behind the camp, the army sacrificed by Guo Jia, their combat effectiveness in all aspects soared. Relying on the camp, they launched a life-and-death struggle with the Qi army.

The bloody battle lasted for three hours. In order to survive, the Qi army showed extraordinary fighting power and fighting will. Qi's martial arts warriors even relied on their extraordinary personal abilities. Some even jumped up and wanted to jump into the camp. , but most of them became targets, and the few who succeeded were quickly eliminated by the blood-coated army.

By this time, the Qi army's baggage troops, which were isolated on the east bank of the chasm, had long been eliminated. Xia Houyuan, who was responsible for the surprise attack on this troop, ordered the prisoners to cross the chasm to persuade them to surrender.

At the same time, the aroma of food also came from the Guo Jiajun camp. The Bloody Clothes Army and the Wei Army, which had been taking turns resisting the Qi Army's attack, began to take turns eating.

The unbreakable fortress, the persuasion of their comrades to surrender, and the hunger caused by the smell of food made this army completely lose the will to fight.

Tian Zhang looked at the dejected soldiers and the corpses of Paoze everywhere, and sighed helplessly.

He knew that this army was desperate and did not even have a chance to wait for reinforcements because they had no reinforcements.

The Qi army's separated troops and horses could not assemble at all in a short time, and they might even have faced Dayu's attack in other directions.

They have become a completely lonely army, and they are still a lonely army without food and grass.

Tian Zhang knew very well that the enemy has not launched a large-scale attack so far, not because the opponent is incapable, but because the opponent wants to completely starve the Qi army to death so that they can capture this army at the minimum cost. .

"Your Majesty, I have betrayed your trust!"

Thinking of the inevitable demise of this army, Tian Zhang felt sad and ordered a halt to the attack. He asked Guo Jia to surrender on the condition that the lives of all Qi soldiers be saved.

Guo Jia was overjoyed.

This is exactly the result he wants.

To be honest, Guo Jia was shocked that this army was able to continue fighting for three hours in such a desperate situation.

There is no doubt that this force is already considered a strong force.

If he hadn't been ambushed, he would have to pay a heavy price if he wanted to defeat this force head-on.

The morale and fighting will of this army were not as high as those of the Qi army. Guo Jia wanted to see who the leader of this army was.

However, what Guo Jia did not expect was that after reaching the surrender agreement, Tian Zhang actually drew his sword and committed suicide.

After Tian Zhang died, more than 500 people followed Tian Zhang and committed suicide.

This made Guo Jia sigh.

After hesitating for a while, Guo Jia finally did not rush to deliver Tian Zhang's body to Cheng Yu. Instead, he ordered Tian Zhang to be buried generously and accepted the surrender of the Qi army in accordance with the previous agreement.

In this battle, Guo Jia surrendered more than 100,000 Qi troops, including 50,000 martial arts soldiers.

After the great victory, the coalition forces took advantage of the situation to counterattack. It only took half a month to recapture the cities occupied by the Qi people and plant the flags of Han and Wei on these lands.

Previously, Huang Zhong's troops, who could not bear the betrayal, also used the banner of the Qi people to occupy the land that the Wei State occupied from the Chu State when it carved up the Chu State. Then, they directed and staged a battle between Dayu and Qi to defeat the Qi Army. The drama of liberating these lands.

Because these places were originally Chu lands, and a large part of the officials and troops sent by Huang Zhong to govern and guard were Chu people and generals, so these Chu people did not have any objections and naturally integrated into Dayu's system. .

After completing the carve-up task, the allied forces of Huang Zhong, Guo Jia, and Wei Liao divided their forces into two groups. One way was along the chasm, the other was on Yongqiu, and Shi Shiran went north. As a result, halfway through, they encountered the defeated troops of Daliang - Daliang City. broken.

Wei Da, who escorted the family of King Wei to escape in embarrassment, reported to Guo Jia the reason for the destruction of Daliang City: Meng Ao was preparing for a water attack, but secretly contacted Wei Yong, the commander-in-chief, and coerced Wei Yong, but Wei Yong gave in. , opened the north gate.

The city gates were all opened, and the Wei army was naturally unable to resist. King Wei Anli and his family members, under the desperate protection of Weida, almost killed all the remaining Wei soldiers before barely escaping.

However, King Anli of Wei, who had only a few years to live, fell ill and died of grief and anger after escaping from the city. Lord Long Yang died for him.

Before his death, King Anli of Wei passed the throne to Prince Wei Wu.

However, the pass at this time does not have much meaning.

"Meng Ao still has something."

The corners of Guo Jia's mouth curled up, and he was smiling.

Guo Jia really didn't expect that the beam would be lost so quickly. If that's the case...

Guo Jia called for his son Guo Man: "Go to Mr. Cheng Ge personally and tell him that Meng Ao has captured Daliang."

Guo Jia did not arrange any specific tasks, because under normal circumstances, Cheng Yu's ranking is still above him. Cheng Yu should be specifically responsible for South Korea's affairs, but Guo Jia believes that with Cheng Yu's ability, he will definitely understand his mean.

Of course Cheng Yu understood what Guo Jia meant.

For this kind of thing, his son actually came to deliver the message in person, which already shows that Guo Jia attaches great importance to it, and even has a little bit of a sense of taking the blame and taking the blame.

As for who should be blamed, just look at the geography of Daliang.

The terrain of Daliang is low-lying, and the north side is not far from the Yellow River. It is also surrounded by many water systems such as Chasm, so it is very suitable for water attack.

In this era, the Yellow River has become an above-ground river. Historically, the Qin State threatened the Wei State to attack Daliang with water, and when Wang Ben attacked Daliang in history, Wang Ben used water from the Yellow River to divert water from the divide.

Now the new rainy season is coming soon. If Yu's army breaks the embankment at a suitable location on the Yellow River, not only Daliang and other places will be finished, but Meng Ao's army will be finished as well.

Cheng Yu, on the other hand, could do this without anyone noticing. For example, he could bury the corpse soldiers in the river in advance and then activate them at the critical moment.

There is no doubt that when the rainy season comes, the Qin army will definitely strengthen its defenses on the river embankment. If the Korean army makes any movement, they will take action immediately, but what if the action is corpse soldiers?

[This plan by Mr. Guo is really vicious! Does he want to form a yellow flood zone? Your Majesty will definitely not agree to this strategy, so Guo Fengxiao will play such a charade. However, if it is really successful and a yellow flood zone is formed, then Qin will have to fight against South Korea and Yingdu if it wants to attack Dayu. Once there are two lines, Dayu's defensive pressure will drop sharply. You can even take this opportunity to free up your hands to deal with the weak Qi State...Tsk, tsk...]

[If corpse soldiers are used, Your Majesty will definitely not be able to guess that I did it. Perhaps in the process, Guo Fengxiao can pretend to be unprepared and lose some troops. Dian Wei and I can also take the initiative to lead troops in other directions. Eliminate the suspicion, and in this way, the yellow area will not matter. After all, this kind of thing may be done by other war agents who are crazy about military glory! 】

[Jia Wenhe can definitely see it, but it doesn’t matter. He might even be having fun! 】

【You can give it a try! 】

Cheng Yu couldn't help but be eager to give it a try.

Cheng Yu didn't take human life seriously, let alone human life in the mission space.

What he was worried about was that Dong Huang would be angry.

[As long as Your Majesty doesn’t know! In short, be prepared! 】

Cheng Yu, who understood Guo Jia's intention, decided to arrange his backup plan first.

The decision whether to use or not depends on changes in the situation, but backup is like a nuclear bomb, you can use it, but you can never live without it!
