Novel website...org, the latest chapter of Zhao Weidi of the Warring States Period is the fastest update!

To the south of Handan, this area, which includes the three major cities of Chaoge, Yecheng and Zhongmu, is usually called "Hanoi", which means within the Yellow River.

This was once the capital of the Xia Dynasty and Shang Dynasty, and it was also the area where the great vassal states were once located. It was later occupied by Jin State and then belonged to Wei State when the three families divided Jin State, and finally owned it to Zhao State a few years ago.

It can be seen that every owner of this land has a very knowledgeable origin, which is enough to prove how rich and attractive this area is, just as stunning beauties have always been owned by those who are the most powerful and wealthy.

Lian Po and Zhao She were on the land in Hanoi at this moment. They were surrounded by a 50,000 Zhao army, and in front of them was a ferry called Suxukou.

This is a very historical ferry.

As we all know, after Dayu controlled the flood, the Yellow River was actually very peaceful. It was not until three hundred years ago that the Yellow River suddenly broke from Suxukou and changed its route, which forced the Central Plains to pay attention to the construction of embankments again.

Since then, Suxukou has become one of the extremely important Dadukou in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River.

Looking at the surging Yellow River and the obviously extremely Wei army camp opposite, Lian Po frowned: "It seems that the people of Wei have prepared for a long time."

Zhao She nodded, took out a piece of information from her arms and handed it to Lian Po, and said, "The news I just obtained was that the Wei people arranged a total of 70,000 people on the other side of the river, blocking all the ferries fifty miles upstream and downstream."

Lian Po took the information and found that the above words were indeed as Zhao She said. He couldn't help but glance at the other party suspiciously: "I am the main general, why did this information be delivered to you first?"

Zhao She said very seriously: "Maybe it's because your mouth is big. What if you know first and then yell around?"

Lian Po spat and said, "You are just yelling everywhere. Do you really think that I don't know the importance of doing things? Stop talking nonsense, what should I do now!"

Zhao She sighed and said, "Since you can't think of a solution for a while, then set up camp first and then think of a solution."

Almost at the same time, in the Wei army camp on the other side of the Yellow River, a group of Wei generals also took the stage to watch the Zhao army that was driving in a mighty manner under the leadership of the chief general Wei Qi.

The Wei cavalry is about in his early forties this year and is the half-brother of the King of Wei. He has always been a little famous in the Wei Kingdom and has also participated in major wars such as the Battle of Lianggou. He is a relatively famous general in the Wei Kingdom except for the Prime Minister Mangmao. This time, he was entrusted by the King of Wei to lead 70,000 troops here to set up a line of defense to block the Zhao army.

The Wei Qi glanced at the many Wei generals around him and found that when these Wei soldiers looked at the Zhao army's tidy military appearance and array, their faces had undergone some very bad changes to a certain extent.

This doesn't work.

"Look, the people of Zhao have begun to camp!"

Wei Qi was quite cheerful, so his laughter was filled with the entire platform: "I know that Lian Po had no good idea for this general's defense line!"

The effect of these two sentences by Wei Qi was immediately effective, and the atmosphere on the platform was immediately relieved a lot.

What Wei Qi said was really not a singularity. You should know that the Wei Qi was actually only three days earlier than the Zhao army. However, during these three days, the Wei Qi sent troops to seize and burned a large number of ships. At the same time, they sent troops to cross the river to destroy several villages and ferries of Zhao State on the other side of the river, in order to make the people of Zhao State have no ships to cross.

Of course, it is not too difficult for Zhao State to build a ship, especially a simple ship that can cross the river. But even if the ship is built, the people of Zhao State cannot cross the river in front of Wei Qi.

In this way, it was a foregone conclusion that Zhao State wasted a lot of time on the north bank of the Yellow River, and the Wei Qi could complete the tasks assigned by the King of Wei in advance.

Wei Qi looked around the generals of the Wei State present and said, "Two and three sons, this time our army's mission is to stick to this place for half a month! Half a month later, the right Yin of Chu State Qu Yuan will lead 100,000 Chu troops to arrive, and then reinforcements from Han and Qin will come. At that time, we will not be passively defending, but we will take the initiative to attack! When we break through Handan one day, this general will naturally ask for merit for you in front of the king! What kind of money, wealth, land, and beauty, everyone will have everything at that time."

When the generals of Wei State responded to this, they immediately responded. After some praise, the atmosphere on the high platform of the Wei State camp began to become warmer, and the previous melancholy was wiped out.

No words all night.

The next day, Lian Po and Zhao She came to the north bank of the Yellow River again.

Looking at the surging river water in front of him, Lian Po, who had just received the reward from the scout, could not hide his annoyance: "These bastards in Wei are really amazing in doing things. Ninety percent of the ships within a radius of 100 miles were stolen and burned by these guys. What should I do now?"

Zhao She shook her head and said, "The boat is still a small matter, how to cross the river is a big problem."

Attacking halfway through is the basic military quality that any general possesses. Of course, Lian Po and Zhao She cannot have thought of this.

Lian Po threw the whip in dissatisfaction and exploded in the air: "Can these Wei people openly fight against me in a head-on battle with me? We must do these messy things."

Zhao She shrugged: "Stop making trouble, only fools will fight our Da Zhao head-on nowadays."

Lian Po snorted and said, "Don't talk about these useless things, news has been heard from Handan. The king will lead the main force to arrive at most half a month. As the pioneers, you and I will not be able to cross the land of Wei at that time, how can we face the king if we can't even cross the river and don't even set foot on the land of Wei?"

Zhao She pondered for a long time and said, "Maybe, there is no way."

Lian Po was excited and asked, "What's the solution?"

Zhao She blinked and smiled and said, "Did you forget that we have ten thousand cavalrymen?"

This time, the 50,000 vanguard troops of Lian Po and Zhao She were composed of 40,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry. This is mainly because Handan is just beginning in spring now, and many places in the northern counties are even hanging on the tail of winter. Although the order was issued, it also took a lot of time to gather south. This 10,000 cavalry, including the 5,000 Longxiang Army, is already the only cavalry force that Zhao State can use in a short period of time.

Lian Po said with a roar and said, "I am the leader of the Longxiang Army. Can I forget the cavalry? It's a joke. But cavalry is useless, and horses cannot fly over."

Zhao She laughed: "The horse cannot fly, but - the horse can run!"

Three days have passed.

If Wei Qi had some point in his heart at the beginning, he led his troops alone to face the tension of Zhao State for the first time, then in three days, Wei Qi's heart gradually became more and more calm.

"The people of Zhao are just like this!" Wei Qi said, not only to cheer himself up, but also to cheer up the many Wei soldiers.

The great military power of Zhao has long been spread throughout the world. It is natural that Wei has always been an ally of Zhao before. Now that he is standing on the battlefield that is hostile to Zhao, which Wei soldier is not afraid?

The only thing that made Wei Qi a little worried was the previous investigation team.

The investigation team led by Su Dai made a lot of trouble in Daliang City, especially after someone broke the incident of Su Dai secretly trying to win over Wei ministers, which made the political arena of Wei even more filled with a strange atmosphere.

Not to mention anything else, it has only been less than half a month since the Wei State attacked Xueyi. The King of Wei has jailed seven officials. Although the charges are different, such as dereliction of duty and corruption, everyone knows that it is just an excuse. The real reason is that the King of Wei suspected that these officials had an affair with Zhao State.

This influence also affected the Wei army led by the Wei cavalry, because the arrested officials all had many relatives and friends, and nearly ten people were now serving as generals in the army. Although these people did not seem to have any signs of rebellion and were not arrested by the King of Wei, who could say whether they really betrayed the Wei Kingdom?

In addition, other news also made Wei Qi a little uneasy.

It is understandable that Qin has not sent troops yet. After all, Qin was locked in Bashu and Hanzhong by the Zhao people, and it is actually very troublesome for the army to reach the Central Plains.

To put it bluntly, if the style of winning or losing in a month or two was determined in the previous few years, the Qin people probably hadn't arrived yet after the war was over here.

But another country is very unpleasant.

Wei's neighbor, Han, had clearly agreed to join the four-nation alliance of Chu as the leader of the alliance, but there was no sign of sending troops until now!

Has this damn King of Han kicked the donkey's brain? Did he think that after the Great Wei was destroyed by the Zhao people, Han could survive the disaster?

When Wei Qi thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a little irritated.

Why do people in Zhao fight in a war with the right time, place and people. When the Wei Dynasty fights, they have to worry about this and that?

Everyone is all the Three Jins. Why didn’t the Great Wei dominate the world when it was prosperous? But the rise of Zhao has now unified the northern border of China?

Wei Qi sighed.

Suddenly, there was a rapid sound of horse hooves, followed by a long neigh, followed by a sound of footsteps.

"General, Xue Yi urgently reported it!"

Wei Qi was excited and hurriedly said, "Send it to me quickly!"

A moment later, an emergency letter was submitted to the Wei Qi in front of the Wei Qi. After reading it, the Wei Qi could not help but laugh.

A quarter of an hour later, facing the generals of Wei State who were urgently summoned, the Wei cavalry showed his spirit and said loudly: "Two and three sons, Xue Yi has been destroyed, and the rebel Tian Wen has been killed. The prime minister Mangmao will come to join us soon with 50,000 troops!"

There was a silence in the tent first, and then a burst of cheers suddenly broke out.

Three days ago, Xueyi, Palace City.

Tian Wen sat at the top of the palace and completely lost his spirit.

Beside Tian Wen were several guards of Xue, and in front of him were numerous corpses, including soldiers of Wei, but more were the corpses of soldiers of Xue.

Mangmao, the chief general of the Wei State, stood in the center of the hall ten steps away from Tian Wen, surrounded by countless Wei soldiers, and the two exchanged their eyes.

Mangmao said lightly: "Mr. Xue, from the day you betrayed the Great Wei Dynasty, you should think of this scene today."

Although he tried his best to hide it, when Mangmao said this, his complacency was still uncontrollable.

Xue Yi was finally defeated by himself!

To be honest, the process of breaking Xue Yi this time was even smoother than Mangmao himself expected.

Due to the Ranger Rebellion that just happened not long ago, a large-scale cleaning of Xue's country was underway, and this cleaning caused extremely serious damage to Xue's national strength.

It took Mangmao just a few days to attack Xueyi City. After meeting with the 30,000 reinforcements that arrived later, 50,000 Wei troops united as one, and it took only ten days to capture Xueyi!

You should know that last year, Mangmao had been fighting for several months but could not get into Xueyi City. The comparison between the two shows how weak the Xue Kingdom is now.

Tian Wen's face was gray and he stared at Mangmao, saying, "General Mangmao, Xinlingjun case has already been concluded. The matter was done by the Qin people and it has nothing to do with me! Are you not afraid of losing the hearts of the world when you attack Xueyi with such ridiculous reasons?"

Mangmao laughed loudly and said, "Mr. Xue, Mr. Xue, you still say these words at this time. Do you think it is really useful? Yes, the Xinling Jun case was not done by you, but you later tried to start a rebellion in Daliang City, and after failure, you fled back to Xueyi to establish a country. Any of these crimes will be enough to make you die ten times more than ten times! Okay, don't say much, send Xue Gong on the way!"

With a wave of Mangmao's hand, countless Wei soldiers rushed forward.

A moment later, Mangmao looked at the bloody Tian Wenren's head in his hand, and a hint of pleasure flashed across his face.

Tian Wen, Tian Wen, you have fought with me for so many years, but I finally won the victory!

Mangmao handed Tian Wen's head to his subordinates and ordered lightly: "Immediately let someone pretend and send it to the king of Daliang City in a hurry!"

Mangmao can now imagine the ecstatic expression when King Wei saw Tian Wen's head.

As for what's next...

Mangmao said coldly: "I ordered Xue Di Zhucheng to return to the Great Wei within three days. Otherwise, once the Great Wei army arrives, all the people in the city will not be left behind! Three days later, the army will set sail, advance westward to join the Wei cavalry generals, and go to fight against the people of Zhao!"

When saying this, Mangmao's heart was filled with fighting spirit.

Although Zhao State is unprecedentedly powerful, so what?

My Great Wei has been passed down for hundreds of years, and I am no less weak than your Zhao State!
