Handan.

Zhao He sat in the hall, listening carefully to Su Dai's reward, and after a while, he smiled: "Very good, very good, thank you for your hard work this time, Dr. Su."

After Su Dai retreated, Zhao He breathed a little relieved and turned his attention to the ministers of Zhao State present: "Yan State was convinced, but it saved a lot of trouble now... By the way, the Qin State's mission is still locked up, right?"

Fei Yi said: "Go back to the king, he is still locked up in Jinyang."

Fei Yi hesitated for a moment and said, "King, the so-called two countries are fighting troops but not killing them, this..."

Zhao He waved his hand disregardly and said, "I don't plan to kill these Qin people, I just locked them up. You immediately send an order to go to Jinyang and let them take good care of the Qin delegation, and no one is allowed to escape. After the spring of next year, I will drive all the people back to Qin."

Zhao He himself felt a little funny. The King of Qin had already secretly hooked up with Chu State and took the Chu State to Jucheng to confront the Lord's father. Now he actually wanted to send envoys to cross the territory of Zhao State to contact Yan State. This is to treat me as a fool.

?

Think it would be useful to bypass Handan? Even if you go to Jinyang, I will still make clear arrangements for you. Your mission will never be able to reach Yan State in your life. Unless you want to walk through the grassland occupied by nomadic peoples and walk around a circle of thousands of miles, then you can do whatever you want.

When Zhao He thought of this, he suddenly became much happier and asked, "Has Qiu Qing sent back the news from Xinzheng?"

Fei Yi replied: "In Xinzheng, Qiu Qing seems to have not been received by the King of Han yet."

Zhao He's face darkened and said, "It seems that King Han is determined to do the right thing to me."

Fei Yi thought for a while and nodded, "The old minister also thinks that King Han really has this idea."

Zhao He looked at Fei Yi in surprise, and the last glimmer of hope for Korea disappeared.

People as mature and polite as Fei Yi rarely express any opinions, so when Fei Yi says this, it basically means that there is really no show in Korea.

Thinking about it, although South Korea responded to Zhao's call to fight a battle between Gaotang and Qi, it actually did not get any benefits in the end, and just gained several small cities of Wei.

You should know that during the decisive battle, the main attack direction of the Qi army was the main attack direction. The losses were extremely serious after a big battle. Several small cities, and the small cities that the Wei people had plundered all the oil and water in advance, were simply not worthy of South Korea's losses.

The reason why South Korea has reached this point is on the one hand because South Korea and Qi are not bordered, but the more important reason is because South Korea is too weak.

Because of its weakness, Han could only send troops to work for Zhao and Qin. He could only watch Qin take over the richest Tao County, Wei take over the Song County and Fangyu County, and Zhao take over Hejian Land (Zhao's attack on Linzi was later).

Considering that Zhao State was the leader of the four countries' allied forces to attack Qi, and the war between South Korea and Zhao over Shangdang County over the past few years, it was completely legitimate and even a reversal of the situation.

When Zhao He thought of this, he no longer hesitated and said, "Then let someone go to Xinzheng. It would be fine if King Han met Qiu Qing. If he still put on airs, then let Qiu Qing return to Handan directly."

Before going to South Korea, Qiu Ye went to Daliang City, the closest to Handan, and was received by King Wei and Mengchangjun there.

Unlike Han, Wei State has the benefits promised by Zhao State, and also has the ambition to use Zhao State to defend Hedong and even further take over the Tao County of Qin State. Therefore, Wei State had no intention of changing its mind and chose to stand on Zhao State's side.

After the Wei Kingdom, South Korea was relatively less important.

Zhao He cleared his throat and said, "So, the current situation is that Qin, Chu, and Han can basically be regarded as enemies of the Great Zhao. By the way, there must be a Qi State that will die soon. The remaining Wei State and Yan State are from the Great Zhao State."

Zhao He thought... this situation is actually OK.

A weak chicken like South Korea can be offset almost the same as Yan State, and then Wei State can be offset basically with Chu State. Qi State has nothing to pay much attention to except Tian Dan of Jimo, so now it is actually a war between Zhao State and Qin State.

In fact, this situation is much better than the worst kind of "everyone who is enemies in the world".

But when he thought that he was facing an opponent like King Zhao of Qin and Bai Qi... Zhao He still felt a vague pain in his head.

This is not a native chicken and tile dog.

Zhao He continued: "Now, the biggest advantage of Da Zhao is time, but the biggest disadvantage is also time."

Zhao State has a lot to do now. First, it is to conquer Jimo, annex all Qi territory except Jucheng, and then it must rest as soon as possible to deal with the inevitable arrival of Qin State.

Qin wanted to stop Zhao, but there was no choice except to fight. Even if the King of Qin sent 10,000 envoys, Zhao He would not stop annexing Qi.

However, due to the current weather, Qin State would not be able to send troops until next spring.

Zhao He had a bright eyes and continued, "So, what Da Zhao needs now is to defeat Jimo in the fastest time! As long as Jimo is captured, there will be no more trouble in Qi, and Chu will not dare to send troops to oppose Da Zhao under such circumstances. Then the master's father can temporarily retreat from Jucheng to the rear and let the soldiers rest well. If the soldiers can rest all winter, even if the Qin people come again, I will not be afraid of him!"

The ministers of Zhao State present also expressed their agreement with this.

After all, Zhao State just defeated the Qi State's martial artist, known as the strongest in the world. After defeating the number one, he became the number one. Who would Zhao State be afraid of?

Zhao He said again: "But if you can't conquer Jimo as soon as possible, things will be in trouble."

The worst case is that the Zhao army could not conquer Jimo until next spring.

Then, as soon as the Qin people sent troops, Zhao fought for a whole year and froze outside Jimo City for a whole winter. The combat power was absolutely severe. When they met the Qin's new force... they basically didn't need to fight, and Zhao He felt that he could consider surrendering.

In that case, Qin and Chu would not have to think that they would definitely support Qi's restoration. Then Qi's retorts, and Zhao's failure to succeed... Isn't it equivalent to a repeat of history?

Zhao He's face was extremely serious and said, "So, Jimo not only needs to fight, but also needs to fight as fast as possible, otherwise... the overall situation will be affected!"

Jimo is the key to the entire battle situation!

Outside Jimo City, Zhao army camp.

Lian Po rode on a horse, his body straight, and he stared at Jimo several miles away.

Jimo was still in the hands of the people of Qi, which made Lian Po very upset.

That day, after seeing Tian Zhan, the leader of Qi, attacked rashly, Lian Po tried his best to burst out all his potential and finally killed Tian Zhan in one fell swoop.

Originally, Lian Po thought that the Qi people were at a loss now and the main general was killed again. Wasn’t that just defeated the enemy?

During the expedition to Qi State, Lian Po had seen too many such situations, and many local leaders even opened their doors to surrender.

As a result, Lian Po never expected that Jimo City was really different from other cities.

After Tian Zhan's death, Jimo City did not surrender, but instead became increasingly united and stubborn, repelling the Zhao army's attacks again and again.

At present, Lian Po was watching countless Zhao soldiers fighting bravely on the city wall, but because of the rampage of various arrows, falling rocks, wood, gold juice and other weapons on the city wall, he could only lose his life in vain.

Lian Po looked at it with a burst of dissatisfaction and wanted to rush forward and kill everyone.

However...it's not possible.

That day, Lian Po was actually injured, both inside and outside.

In addition, in terms of the result, Lian Po's aggressive behavior of killing generals did not win the Zhao army, and even led to the shattering of the Zhao army's most hope of breaking the city so far.

So when these merits and demerits were compared, Le Yi didn't say anything, just let Lian Po recover well and was not allowed to fight!

This is the time to recover from the injury...

When Lian Po thought of this, he couldn't help but take a look at the Zhao army commander Le Yi on the chariot just a few steps away.

Le Yi stared at the battlefield in the distance with a blank expression, and couldn't tell what he was thinking.

Lian Po hesitated for a moment and decided not to touch Le Yi's bad intentions.

This guy is really cruel. Lian Po has heard Zhao She say that the order that the catapult bombarded the city with all his strength that day was Le Yi.

Although Lian Po also knew that this was Le Yi who wanted to find an opportunity to kill the opponent's main general, and those trenchers objectively played a role in helping Lian Po kill the general, if Lian Po was not lucky, he might be killed by his own trenchers on the spot.

Don't talk to him.

Lian Po turned his head and looked at Zhao She beside him with a serious look on his face: "Brother Zhao She, this battle is not easy to deal with."

Zhao She is now a general, but Zhao She is a partial general, one level lower than Lian Po, a superior general.

But no matter what general, he is a general. Since he is a general, he has to lead his own army. So now Zhao She is no longer a subordinate of Lian Po, but he commands a group of 5,000 infantrymen.

Of course, the relationship between the two is still very good, after all, they are comrades-in-arms who are close friends of life and death.

After hearing Lian Po's words, Zhao She nodded, sighed, and said, "Yes, these Qi people seem to be growing constantly."

Yes, grow.

If the Qi garrison in Jimo City was still a group of busy croakers when they were siege, then after so long siege, the Qi garrison in Jimo City had grown up quickly.

The most obvious fact is that since Lian Po's ascendance to the city and killing generals, Zhao Jun has never been able to climb to the top of Jimo City again.

Thinking of this made Lian Po even more depressed.

Lian Po said unhappily: "I don't know who is leading the army in Jimo City now. It's a promising general who can train these soldiers to look like now."

Zhao She nodded and said, "Yes, I heard that the general who is leading the army in Jimo City is a man named Tian Dan. I have never heard of this name before."

"Tian Dan?" Lian Po wrote down the name and said very seriously: "When you have the chance, you must cut off his head."

At this moment, on the chariot not far away, Le Yi's very calm voice had already come: "Ming Jin."

Lian Po and Zhao She were stunned at the same time, looking at each other, showing helpless expressions between them.

After a moment, the sharp sound of gold sounded, and the Zhao soldiers on the battlefield retreated like a tide.

Le Yi left with many Zhao army generals, but only Lian Po and Zhao She remained there.

After a while, teams of Zhao soldiers passed by the two and entered the Zhao army camp behind them.

Lian Po frowned and couldn't help but say, "It won't work like this. This is a day when the fight is worse than the day."

Lian Po said the facts. The so-called "one-strike" will decline again and again, and the first few waves that come up during any siege must be the most violent. Now that the siege of the city has been siege for a long time, the combat effectiveness of the Qi army in Jimo City has increased instead of decreasing, which has led to the Zhao army's attack becoming increasingly weak and powerless.

Zhao She sighed and said, "There is no way, have you heard of it? The envoy from Handan came a few days ago. It is said that the king gave the death order to attack Jimo no matter what, General Le Yi was helpless."

Lian Po glared at his eyes and said, "Then you can't joke about the lives of the soldiers! No, I have to talk to General Le Yi, I can't fight like this anymore. I have to let everyone rest for a few days before launching an attack!"

Zhao She was shocked and said, "No, General Le Yi is the main general, how can you... Hey, wait for me!"

Before Zhao She could finish her words, Lian Po turned around and left with such a straight temper.

Zhao She had no choice but to rush the horse to catch up.
To be continued...
