After the end of the Battle of Jucheng, Zhao He announced a series of policies.

Qi State has perished, so the five-duty system will naturally be completely abolished, and the county system of Zhao State should be used.

This part north of the Yellow River adjacent to Yanzhao is Julu County, with Julu City as the county seat.

To the south of the Yellow River, this part, including Pingyuan, Licheng, Luoyin, Jiecheng and other cities is Jibei County, with Licheng as the county seat.

This generation near Linzi was Linzi County, with Linzi City as the county seat.

Jiaodong Peninsula east of Linzi is Jiaodong County, with Jimo City as the county seat.

The southernmost area including Jucheng and Langya City is Langya County, with Langya City as the county seat.

A large number of officials from Zhao State and surrendered ministers from Qi were appointed as officials of the above counties, among which the officials from Zhao State were the chief officials, while most of the officials from Qi State served as deputy and subordinate positions.

In terms of military affairs, all county magistrates and generals were appointed by Zhao people.

Completely abolish the Qi language and language, and implement the Zhao language, language and weights and measures within the Qi country.

After a one-year transition period, the old Qi laws were completely abolished and replaced by Zhao laws.

After announcing these matters, Zhao He threw the specific implementation to Handan. Anyway, he was very relieved to have the master father and Fei Yi in charge.

At this moment, the Zhao army was advancing westward with smoke and dust rolling and flags filled the sky.

Zhao He sat on his king's carriage. It was a very huge carriage, which was no less than the minibus of later generations. It was pulled by eight pure white horses, and a huge white tiger skin was spread on a large seat that was so wide that it could sleep. A huge red umbrella cover was above his head.

Ju Xin, the chief general of the Yan army, just left in front of Zhao He.

Ju Xin came to say goodbye.

During the Battle of Jucheng, the Yan army suffered more than 10,000 casualties.

Considering that only 50,000 Yan troops went south to assist in the war, the casualty rate of more than 20% was already quite high.

Zhao He approved the departure of the Yan people quite happily.

Le Yi, who was standing by, had different opinions on this.

"King, now that Da Zhao is about to go to war with Qin, will there be any problem when he releases Yan army back at this moment?"

Faced with Le Yi's doubts, Zhao He smiled and said, "It's okay, Yan State... there shouldn't be any major problems. Besides, the Yan army has average combat effectiveness. Instead of supporting them, it's better to recruit 50,000 more soldiers from other places in Dazhao."

Le Yi thought about it and nodded in agreement: "What the king said is that Yan Jun... is indeed a little different."

Le Cheng rode his horse and said, "The King, Xue Gongtian Wen, the prime minister of Wei, asked for a visit in front of him."

Zhao He exclaimed, a little surprised: "This hasn't left Tao County yet... let him come over."

A moment later, Tian Wen, a scattered Mengchangjun, indeed appeared on Zhao He's king's carriage and bowed to Zhao He: "The foreign minister has seen the king."

Zhao He blinked his eyes and said curiously: "Why is Mr. Xue in such a hurry?"

Mengchangjun smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, it's not that I want to lose my composure in front of you. It's really... the people of Qin are too arrogant."

Zhao He's heart beat for a moment and said, "Is Daliang City already lost?"

Out of concern for Qin, Zhao He immediately sent Wei general Mangmao to return to the country after the battle in Jucheng. Could it be that he could not defend this?

Mengchangjun widened his eyes and said, "How is this possible? However, if the king came a few days later, Daliang City... might be gone."

Zhao He smiled without comment, looked at Mengchangjun's anxious expression, and quietly muttered in his heart.

It seems that the Qin army put a lot of pressure on the Wei people this time.

You should know that the main force of the Zhao army is still in Tao County, and it is still hundreds of miles away from Daliang City. There are many rivers along the way, which is also a considerable drag on the army's marching speed.

Central Plains Water Town.

Zhao He thought for a while and said, "Come on, go and find Lian Po and Zhao She."

The Qin army was indeed attacking Daliang City fiercely.

The huge rock roared down from the sky and smashed onto the city wall, making a deafening sound.

However, in the extremely fierce battlefield, such a loud voice was just like a slightly larger wave in the sea, and was instantly submerged in the shocking shouts of killing.

The Qin army was like a black tide, hitting the tall Daliang City wall again and again.

The moat has been filled, and the tall arrow tower is being built tensely. The Wei army went out of the city several times to rush to stop the Qin army from making arrow towers outside the city, but was defeated one after another by the Qin army. Once, he was almost bitten by Qin Ruishi and rushed into the city with a defeated army.

In the city of Daliang, there was a panic of wind and cranes.

It has been decades since the Wei State moved its capital to Daliang. This is the first time that other countries' army surrounded Daliang and launched such a large-scale attack.

Even though he had made mental preparations in advance, when the King of Wei sat in the palace and listened to the shouts of killing outside the city, it was too difficult to calm the King of Wei, who had never experienced war himself.

Linzi was just captured not long ago. Although it was Zhao who captured Linzi, the one who besieged Daliang is now recognized as the only Qin State that is capable of confronting Zhao State.

The King of Wei grabbed Mangmao, the general of Wei who was responsible for the defense of the entire Daliang City, and asked repeatedly: "General, can this Daliang be still protected?"

Not only the King of Wei, but several other ministers also looked at Mangmao nervously.

Mangmao was also a little pounding in his heart, but Mangmao was a man who had led the army after all, but his face was quite calm and comforted: "Don't be impatient. Although the Qin army's offensive is huge, I have already prepared for it. It is impossible for the Qin people to break through the city defense of Daliang. When the Zhao army arrives, it will be the day of the Qin army's defeat!"

Not to mention anything else, Mangmao's words undoubtedly played a very good role at this time, and immediately calmed down the atmosphere in the hall.

The King of Wei wiped the sweat from his head and said gritting his teeth: "These damn Qin people first planned to seize the Hexi and Hedong of the Great Wei, and now they are planning to plan the Central Plains of the Great Wei! Sooner or later, I will give the Qin people a good look!"

Outside the city.

Wei Ran stood on his coach's chariot, frowned and looked at the siege in front of him, and said to Bai Qi beside him: "This Daliang City... looks difficult to fight."

If we compare the two capitals of the Wei Kingdom, Anyi and Daliang, to make a comparison, Anyi has an absolute advantage in defense. Anyi is located in the Hedong Basin, surrounded by the Taihang Mountains in the east and north, and the surging Yellow River in the west and south, as a natural danger, and has a very superior geographical location.

On the other hand, Daliang City is located in the plains in the central part of China. Within a radius of hundreds of miles, there are endless plains, with only a few small hills and numerous rivers as embellishments, but these are not enough to stop the attackers. As Zhang Yi and the King of Wei said back then, "The land is four flat, the princes are four connected, and the lines are full of speeches, and there is no obstacle to famous mountains and rivers. From Zheng to Liang, it is only a hundred miles; from Chen (Qi State) to Liang, it is more than two hundred miles. The horses gallop and people go to Liang without waiting for tiredness."

During the heyday of Wei State, Daliang City's well-connected transportation allowed Wei Wushu to conquer everywhere and suppress all kinds of disobedience. However, when Wei State declined from its hegemony, the situation became that it was beaten everywhere without the power to fight back.

Just like now.

But even so, Daliang City is still a very difficult tough trick for the Qin army.

The monarch and ministers of Wei may not have enough talents, but they will never be able to see such a simple geographical factor.

Therefore, the Wei people invested a lot of energy in the city defense itself.

First of all, there is a wide moat outside Daliang City. This flow of people was built when King Hui of Wei moved the capital. It was completely dug by manual digging. The river surface is five meters wide and can even accommodate building ships in the river. On weekdays, it is densely packed with ships, making ship transport an extremely important way of transportation in Daliang City and various parts of the Central Plains.

Wei Ran mobilized tens of thousands of soldiers and soldiers to fight against the arrows of the Wei people for five days before finally filling a small section of the area, allowing the Qin army to launch an attack.

It is precisely because of this that the Qin army was unable to launch an attack on the four walls of Daliang City at the same time before this moat was completely filled.

After passing the moat, there is still the most important part of the city defense - the wall of Daliang City, waiting for the Qin army.

The wall of Daliang City is the highest wall that Wei Ran saw in his life. It is roughly estimated that it is at least six feet long. Even if he stands several miles away, such a tall and spreading city still gives people a very amazing sense of oppression and heaviness.

This even made the Qin army's craftsmen misjudgment. The length of the ladders made at the beginning was completely insufficient, which made Wei Ran furious and executed hundreds of people on the spot.

In addition, trenchers are also a problem. As the heaviest siege weapon of this era, trenchers cannot be transported for long distances due to weight problems, and are usually manufactured by craftsmen after arriving at the battlefield.

Although the catapult is large, it is also a fine job when manufacturing. The number of craftsmen who can make catapults is quite limited. In addition, there are other siege equipment that needs to be made, so the Qin army has only barely owned five catapults.

Judging from the siege in the past few days, the damage caused by the five catapults to the Daliang City Wall is almost always repaired quickly, which is equivalent to no use.

As for the most critical factor in the war - people, the Qin army obviously had the upper hand in this regard. The Qin soldiers surpassed the Wei army in terms of quantity, combat effectiveness and morale.

However, although Wei State is weak, it can still be regarded as a country that is the middle-class and fights for four and three among the six major warring countries. In addition, the bonus of defending the country's local battle, the combat effectiveness of the Wei army cannot be underestimated.

"This won't work." Wei Ran said to Bai Qi: "If we continue fighting, our casualties will be too high."

Before the city is broken, the siege will often pay several times or even ten times the casualties of the defending city. It will not be instantly rewritten in the city after the city is broken.

If we were to attack this Daliang City alone, Wei Ran would certainly not be stingy with military strength, but the fact now is that the people of Zhao are about to arrive, which is the great enemy that the Qin army really needs to deal with. The Qin army should not consume its strength here in vain.

Wei Ran looked at Bai Qi, hoping to get Bai Qi's explanation.

Wei Ran’s original plan was to siege but not attack, but Bai Qi’s suggestion changed Wei Ran’s mind.

Bai Qi did not explain.

In other words, what Bai Qi said was not an explanation: "Your Majesty, it's time to stop attacking Daliang City."

Wei Ran raised his eyebrows in dissatisfaction and said, "So, have we done these useless efforts so careless these days?"

Bai Qi shook his head and said, "Your Majesty doesn't know that this is not useless work. Through these days' attacks, Daqin has at least figured out the entire city defense system of Wei in Daliang."

Wei Ran snorted and said, "What's the use of this?"

Bai Qi looked at Wei Ran and said very seriously: "In this case, as long as the Qin Dynasty can defeat Zhao in the next battle, Daliang will be in just around the corner."

Wei Ran was stunned for a moment, looked at the beam and high wall in front of him: "Are you sure?"

To be honest, even if he really defeated Zhao State, as long as there are still 40,000 or 50,000 troops in Daliang City, Wei Ran felt that he had to count them in the years to conquer Daliang.

Bai Qi said: "Bai Qi can guarantee to the emperor that as long as he defeats the Zhao army, no matter how many defenders there are in Daliang City next, Daqin can take Daliang City within half a month."

Wei Ran was in a good mood when she heard this and patted Bai Qi on the shoulder hard: "Very good, you did a good job! Then, just send an order and prepare to withdraw your troops. By the way, where are you planning to fight the people of Zhao?"

Bai Qi said: "The forest land thirty miles away from the west can be used as a battlefield."

Wei Ran recalled the place, which was a large plain, a small part of hills and forests, which was the most suitable place for the decisive battle of the large corps. He nodded and said, "Okay, let's do it."

The news that the Qin army suddenly withdrew from the siege undoubtedly made the King of Wei breathe a sigh of relief.

For this reason, the King of Wei specially praised Mangmao.

However, the King of Wei soon learned the new news, that was, the Qin army did not go far away, but set up camp thirty miles away and waited quietly.

The King of Wei said to the ministers around him: "The Qin people, this time I really want to share my life and death with me!"

When saying this, King Wei felt a little depressed.

The King of Wei knew exactly what Qin came for.

Why did Qin and Zhao fight to the decisive battle, but instead use the land of Wei as a battlefield?

This made King Wei very unhappy, but he was helpless.

Who made Wei even weaker? The weak can only obey the strong.

The King of Wei gritted his teeth and made up his mind that he would revive the Great Wei in the future and would no longer repeat the shame of today!
