On the vast Longdong Plateau, Wei Ran, the prime minister of Wei, stood proudly on the chariot, looking at the Qin army that was heading north like a long dragon behind him, full of energy.

Wei Ran had a reason to be happy.

The position of Qin Prime Minister who had lost three years had just returned to Wei Ran's hands.

At the same time, under the recommendation of Wei Ran, Qin general Bai Qi and Yique achieved an almost impossible victory, defeating the Han and Wei coalition forces with fewer and more. Three years ago, the humiliation of being threatened by Qi, Han and Wei in Guanzhong.

It can be said that it is a double happiness.

But that's not enough.

Wei Ran was proud. As Bai Qi's Bole, he also had to make some achievements to prove that he was not inferior to Bai Qi and to prove that the decision of the King of Qin to use himself as a prime minister again was correct.

The 20,000 Zhao cavalry led by General Niu Jian of Zhao State is undoubtedly a very good goal to make meritorious contributions.

"Niu Jian did not retreat after hearing that he led his army to come?"

Wei Ran frowned with sword eyebrows, and a smile appeared on his long face: "Does he really think he can defeat the original image?"

Next to Wei Ran, a general of Qin smiled and said, "After all, the three Jin Dynasties are in harmony. Since Zhao heard that Yique and Han and Wei were defeated, they think they would have the intention of restraining our army here and not allowing the Qin to continue to advance eastward."

Wei Ran laughed and said, "That's true, just 20,000 cavalrymen can help you very much!"

The Qin general said, "Mr. Rang, I heard that when the Zhao people conquered Guyang, they used a weapon like a god's help. When it broke out, it seemed like a thunder exploded. Then the Guyang city gate collapsed instantly. Please pay attention to Marquis Rang."

Wei Ran laughed and said, "Nonsense! This is just the rumors spread by the defeated troops, so there is no need to take it seriously!"

Suddenly, a horse came with a scout.

"Marquis Rang, a large number of refugees were found in front of me, saying that they were the people of Shangjun, Daqin!"

Wei Ran was shocked and looked up and found many figures several miles away.

After a while, Wei Ran, who was approaching, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

What appeared in front of him was a long team of refugees from Qin. The team was like a long dragon. Most of them were ragged and dull in their eyes. They looked back from time to time, and their expressions on their faces were obviously terrified.

At a rough look, the number is at least more than 10,000 people!

Wei Ran's expression gradually became angry.

"What's going on?" Wei Ran asked sternly.

A moment later, an old man came to Wei Ran tremblingly: "Luo Yi, the Guyang Cang Order, met Ranghou."

Wei Ran stared at Luo Yi and asked, "What happened?"

Luo Yi's face turned bitter and suddenly cried out: "Marquis Rang, you have to make the decision for me. After occupying Guyang City, the Zhao army not only plundered all the food in the city, but also forced me to leave Guyang City. Otherwise, they would have to kill all of us! I was hungry all the way south, and now there is no food. I also invited Marquis Rang..."

Wei Ran was shocked and suddenly interrupted Luo Yi's words: "Wait, you just said that everyone in Guyang City was driven away?"

Luo Yi was stunned for a moment and nodded.

A very bad idea suddenly appeared in Wei Ran's mind.

"Damn Zhao people... won't do this in other cities, right?"

Somewhere in the distance, a Zhao cavalry was watching this scene from afar.

Niu Jian looked at Le Yi beside him and said, "Driving away the military and civilians of Shangjun will make Qin and Da Zhao a great enemy."

Le Yi smiled and said, "General, if Da Zhao wants to dominate the world, there will be a battle between Qin and Zhao. If that's the case, why bother to make enemies?"

Niu Jian frowned and said, "I know that you drove these Qin people south and destroyed the city of Shangjun in order to weaken the Qin people's foundation in Shangjun, and at the same time put pressure on Wei Ran with refugees. But if this is the case, it would not be enough to defeat Wei Ran's troops."

Le Yi smiled heartily and said, "Did the General forget the sixteen-character mantra I said the day before yesterday? Now, this has not officially begun."

Niu Jian curled his lips slightly.

This guy, Le Yi, is just like the young king, and what he says always feels... unreliable.

...

Wei Ran found that his premonition had come true!

In Shangjun, the Qin soldiers and civilians in the Qin State were violently driven away from the city, and under the threat of Zhao's bows and arrows and swords, they fled to the south to Guanzhong land with difficulty.

In order to shelter these refugees, Wei Ran had to temporarily stop the march, set up a large camp, and began to resettle these refugees.

It must be resettled. If these people are not available, who will rely on to guard Shangjun in the future?

"Niu Jian, a person with a dark heart, actually used such a despicable strategy!" Wei Ran jumped into the commander's tent and cursed.

Obviously, the people of Zhao clearly didn’t want to go to the county, just to turn Shangjun into ruins!

Not only that, in the past few days, many small groups of Zhao army cavalry have begun to appear near the Qin army's camp.

Most of these Zhao army cavalrymen used fifty or one hundred cavalry as their squads, and at least a dozen squads wandered outside the camp.

They came and went like the wind, and when they met a Qin refugee outside, they would follow him and harass him, and even shot him directly from a long distance.

If the Qin army sent troops to support the troops, in the small number, these Zhao army cavalry would quickly gather and instantly defeat the Qin army's support troops with the advantage of high impact.

If the Qin army sent a large group of troops, these Zhao army cavalry would instantly disperse and turn into very annoying flies, constantly hovering around the Qin army and refugees, occasionally rushing up to release a few cold arrows, and then laughing away.

The Qin army was mainly infantry as the auxiliary chariots, with only a small number of about two or three hundred cavalry as messengers and scouts. Such a few cavalry was not enough for the Zhao people to attack.

Faced with this situation, Wei Ran was so angry that she was itchy, but she didn't have any good solutions.

Using strong arches and crossbows is also a way, but if the crossbowmen do not line up and shoot intensively, the damage to the Zhao army's cavalry can be ignored. However, once the Qin army's crossbowmen form a formation, the Zhao country's cavalry will instantly disperse and run away.

"This is the enemy who is disturbing me!" Le Yi said to Niu Jian.

The Zhao army cavalry appeared day and night. Although the Qin army was protected by a large camp, it was still unlucky.

Finally, Wei Ran couldn't stand it anymore.

"Come on, send orders to let these refugees go south to Guanzhong first, and let Xihe County be responsible for resettlement. The army is ready to decapitate the camp and continue to go north!"

We must push the front north and move towards the territory occupied by the Zhao people.

By that time, if the people of Zhao defended the city, everyone would have a fight.

If the people of Zhao do not defend the city, Wei Ran can also recover the city.

Wei Ran believed that no matter how the people of Zhao chose, the Qin army he led was in a relatively active situation, which was much better than the passiveness of the present.

In order to better fight in Shangjun, Wei Ran also absorbed thousands of local Shangjun men who were strong and familiar with geography from the refugees as soldiers to assist the army in fighting north.

Two days later, all the refugees left and continued to move south under the order of Wei Ran, while Wei Ran led an army of more than 50,000 to head north.

Although the Zhao army's small cavalry still appeared and harassed from time to time, Wei Ran was prepared for a long time. As soon as the Zhao army's cavalry approached several times, Wei Ran immediately ordered the crossbowmen who were advancing to suddenly come with a wave of arrows covering them, causing the Zhao army's cavalry to leave behind a few bodies and leave in a hurry.

Gradually, the Zhao cavalry did not dare to come forward to harass him.

"What should I do now?" Niu Jian asked Le Yi: "Your harassment strategy seems to have almost failed."

Le Yi blinked his eyes and said, "Now, it is naturally time to 'the enemy advances and I retreat'."

"Retreat?" Niu Jian asked, "Where to retreat?"
