Are you unreasonable in Qin? Aren’t you stunned? You dare to go to war with two countries at the same time.

King Zhao is now looking desperate, just to make Qin retreat first because he is afraid and then restart the peace talks.

Since King Zhaoxiang of Qin strengthened the royal power, he appointed Fan Sui, a native of Wei, as prime minister. In view of the situation at that time of the Warring States Period, Fan Sui proposed the strategic idea of ​​"communicating far and near and attacking nearby".

Qin State jointly launched a joint campaign against the distant princes Qi and Chu, and carried out military strikes against neighboring Wei, Han, Zhao and other countries, and eroded territory. Qin State entered a new era.

King Zhaoxiang of Qin had already gained the sweetness, and Qin's strength became stronger and stronger, which inspired his ambition to unify the world.

This time the attack on Zhao State was originally a situation set up by Fan Ju, and he kidnapped South Korea to the chariot of Qin State.

In fact, it is not very difficult for Qin to destroy South Korea. The problem is that the rabbit dies and the fox is sad, and several other countries will join forces.

The reason why South Korea has been surviving is that Qin did not want the battle to destroy the country so early, which would trigger a complete confrontation between other countries, so that Qin would be enemies all over the world.

Qin wanted to first consume the power of various countries, to dampen their morale, and prevent other countries from rescuing the countries that Qin attacked.

The effect of Qin's move was surprisingly good! He sent troops to attack South Korea many times, eroding a lot of territory, and no country dared to rescue him.

Every time South Korea was beaten, it would cede land and seek compensation for peace. This time, the condition proposed by Qin was to ced Shangdang County and compensate the army for food and grass.

The original intention of Qin State was to be condescending to Shangdang County and to attack Zhao State, which had the most powerful military power at that time at any time.

As for wanting to go to war with Zhao in the future, it is quite simple to find a reason at any time!

As for the refusal of Shangdang County to hand over to Qin and Feng Ting's Xiancheng, South Korea played a little trick, which was to pull Zhao onto the chariot, and then the two countries of South Korea and Zhao joined forces to fight against Qin, which was also for the benefit of South Korea.

This trick must be hidden from Qin State. Their army has already reached Shangdang, which is very good at soldiers and food, and has also occupied favorable terrain.

Originally, Qin could have forcibly occupied it, but they could just argue with South Korea there and wait for Zhao to take the opportunity to hit Zhao!

Therefore, Qin allowed Zhao to occupy Shangdang County, but they themselves occupied the moral commanding heights. Although it brought some difficulty to the war, other countries were definitely unwilling to rescue Zhao.

This is why the Qin soldiers, who have always been very powerful in war, have been slow to occupy Shangdang. They are just consuming with Han, and it depends on whether Zhao State dares to accept it.

Because of its lack of strength, South Korea presented Shangdang County to Zhao, in order to pull Zhao into the water. This is an open conspiracy.

The ministers of Zhao could see their intentions, but after Shangdang County was occupied by Qin, the threat to Zhao was too great, so they could not help but be moved!

With the character of King Xiaocheng of Zhao, as long as Qin did not come to capture Shangdang County, he naturally did not dare to seize Shangdang County from Qin.

But King Zhao also had his logic. He made the plan as he wished. Even if Feng Ting had a city in succession, he did not think about accepting it all, and would not force the city from Qin.

King Zhao was naive and thought that if he was careless, he could evade responsibility, pretend to be ignorant, and return it to Shangdang County if it really didn't work, and bargain with Qin. At worst, he could return all Shangdang's city to Qin.

King Zhao first sent Lian Po to lead his troops and set up his own defense line on the border line. Then he followed the border line and slowly accepted the city of Shangdang County and placed strict defenses.

But Qin was not a reasonable ruler? Before Zhao could fully accept Shangdang County, he was hit by Qin.

Although he was prepared for it, because the Qin State's attack was too sharp, the Zhao State's army had no intention of fighting and could not resist it. Lian Po could only fight and retreat, and used the terrain to deploy defense, and still saved most of the city in Shangdang County.

With these cities, Zhao State has the danger to defend and will not be attacked by Qin State at any time, and will drive straight into the capital Handan.

Therefore, when Shangdang County was in a tight spot, King Xiaocheng of Zhao did not seek the help of the Allied forces and fought to the death with the Qin army, but directly sent Zheng Zhu to Qin for peace.

He no longer dared to seek the city and land of Shangdang County, but just wanted to leave a small city on the high ground of the border of Zhao State, which was equivalent to a post and served as a beacon tower.

According to King Zhao's logic, these cities in Shangdang County were stolen from the Koreans and had little to do with Qin!

If Qin State says it is yours, I will give it back to you. There is no need to fight to the death!

Who knew that the King of Qin wanted to fight with Zhao State to the death, and torture this country, which is known as the most powerful military force among the six countries, was destroyed and conquered, and then he could control other countries at will!

King Zhao could no longer provide enough food and supplies for the stalemate 200,000 army, and wanted to end the war as soon as possible.

King Zhao first changed his tricks and changed his coaches, and used the young man Zhao Kuo to replace the veteran Lian Po.

In fact, King Zhao also used a compromise method, and asked Lian Po to lead the troops there, but he had to formulate a plan to counter-defense and attack based on Zhao Kuo's tactical ideas, and caught the Qin army off guard.

Lian Po knew that Zhao Kuo's method was better than being passively beaten, but with Lian Po's reputation and status, he was embarrassed to use the method proposed by Zhao Kuo, which forced King Zhao to change his commander!

Now there was suddenly no opposition in the court. King Zhao was not used to it and felt uneasy. For a while, he really couldn't make up this decision.

At this time, Lin Xiangru, who had been recuperating at home for a long time due to illness, came to court and firmly opposed the use of Zhao Kuo to replace Lian Po. The main reason was: "Guotu can read the books and biography of his father, but he does not know how to change."

Although King Zhao disagreed with Lin Xiangru's conjecture, he still respected Lin Xiangru's conclusion very much on the surface!

He asked the minister in charge of finance to tell the situation that the army's food and grass were unsustainable because the war lasted too long, and Lian Po refused to go to war, and asked Lin Xiangru to come up with an idea to solve the problem of food and grass in the army!

Although Lin Xiangru has been recuperating due to poor health, he is also very clear about the situation in the court.

The reason why he came out to oppose Zhao Kuo as the coach was not only to show his presence, but also Zhao She once told him before his death that his son Zhao Kuo was not suitable to serve as the chief general.

Although Lin Xiangru was a wise man, he could not produce food, so he naturally had no choice but to retreat in a bad mood on the grounds of being unwell!
