In late February of the 21st year of Qianyuan, the wind and snow in the north gradually melted. After learning that the Chu army had raided Pei County and tens of thousands of elite Zhao troops were wiped out, the Zhao State felt that Zhao State was facing a major crisis. Qin and Chu were invading, and they frequently found benefits from Zhao State. This was a very bad phenomenon. If Deng State had the intention to get benefits and rush the army northward, Zhao State would be in danger.

Faced with such a situation, the king and minister of Zhao believed that they had to show off their muscles and let the people of the world see the strength of Zhao and retreated in a difficult situation. Therefore, Zhao mobilized 200,000 troops into Shangdang County, and the army stationed in the northern border also showed signs of mobilization, which was greatly beyond the expectations of Bai Qi, Deng Sheng and others.

The 200,000 Zhao troops from the Central Plains, plus the 40,000 elite troops under Zhao Xin, gathered 240,000 Zhao troops in Shangdang County, with far superior to the Qin army. Facing such a situation, Bai Qi made a quick decision, gave up attacking, and defended Changzi City to the death.

At this time, Bai Qi knew that his plan to acquire Henan County had gone bankrupt, because as the Chu army raided Pei County, Zhao's anger was completely ignited. Under such circumstances, it was already very good for the Qin army to be able to protect the Southern Shangdang.

In Changzicheng, in the Qin army's main camp, Shelitu was cursing, but he was not cursing Bai Qi, nor the Zhao army, but the Chu army that was thousands of miles away. It was this raid by the Chu army that caused Zhao to be angry and mobilized many main forces to Shangdang County. If it were not for the Chu army, why would the Qin army be so passive?

"Okay, stop arguing!" Bai Qi sat in the main seat, listening to Shelitu's chatter, and felt very annoyed, so he stopped and said, "Now that things have come to this point, it is useless to pursue them again. It's better to think about how to deal with Zhao Jun in front of him."

Although Bai Qi is still young, he has great military achievements. He is the Grand Marshal and the commander of the army. So he immediately shut up as soon as he opened his mouth. Bai Qi is right. Now that things have happened, what is the point of pursuing them? Besides, the Chu army is far away thousands of miles away, and he can only complain. How to deal with the current Zhao army is the key.

"What should the general think our army should do?" Qin general Ma Sheng told Bai Qi that dealing with the Zhao army is an urgent task, but how should we deal with it? After all, the gap between the two armies is getting bigger and bigger, and the Qin army, which originally had the advantage of military strength, was instantly at a disadvantage. How should we break the deadlock?

However, even the famous general Bai Qi had no choice. He shook his head and said, "The enemy is strong and we are weak, and the enemy has famous generals no less than us. This battle is difficult and very difficult. At this moment, I might as well tell you that before the war, the strategy we formulated to seize Shangdang County and Henan County had failed."

Although the Qin generals had long been mentally prepared for the failure of the Qin army, when these words came out of Bai Qi, everyone was also angry. After the failure to seek Bashu, Shangdang County and Henan County were the last chance for Qin. They also gave up all their efforts for this battle, but the result was contrary to their wishes. Under the thunderous anger of Zhao, all the efforts of the Qin army were gone.

"But!" Bai Qi saw that everyone was a little discouraged, so he raised his head and said, "The Qin people will never give up. Although the Zhao army is powerful and it is difficult to win, it does not mean that our army has no possibility of victory. I, Daqin, went through thousands of difficulties and dangers from the remote place of Xiliang, and finally took back the land of Guanzhong that belongs to us. This time, I believe that we can still win!"

"The Great Qin has won thousands of victories!" Everyone was ignited by Bai Qi's bold words. The Qin people would never give up. When Xiang Yu attacked Xianyang and slaughtered the Qin people. In order to survive and to revenge, the Qin people fled far away to Xiliang. After more than two hundred years, they finally took back Guanzhong, which belonged to the Qin people. This is the Qin people, the Qin people who never give up.

Bai Qi walked to the map and pointed to the map and said, "There are more than 100,000 Zhao troops gathered in the Tunliu area. In addition to me, there are also a large number of Zhao troops in the Central Plains area. Conservatively, the final force of the Zhao army will be more than 200,000, so it is very unwise to confront the Zhao army head-on. Therefore, I think our army should take defense as an offensive. Now our army has occupied the Southern Shangdang. Although there is no hope of capturing Henan County, the Southern Shangdang will never give up."

After saying that, Bai Qi glanced at everyone and said, "Wang Feng obeyed the order!"

"The last one is here!" Wang Feng hurriedly bowed his hand when he heard Bai Qi see him.

"I will order you to lead 20,000 elite troops to guard the Shishi City, and at all costs I will defend the Shishi City!" Bai Qi said.

"Here! Please don't worry, the general is here, and the city of Shi is here!" Wang Feng responded and issued a military order, and the city is here, and the city is here!

"Geng Yue obeyed the order!" Bai Qi ignored Wang Feng's military order and continued to order.

"The last one is here!" Geng Yue replied.

"I will lead 20,000 elite troops to guard Fajiushan, and I will also protect me at all costs!" Bai Qi said.

"Here!" Although Geng Yue did not issue a military order like Wang Feng, it can be seen from his eyes that if he could not defend Fajiushan, Geng Yue would die at will.

"Ma Sheng obeyed the order!" Bai Qi continued to order.

"The last one is here!" Ma Sheng replied.

"I'm going to order you to lead 20,000 elite troops to guard Li Ting, can you know?" Bai Qi said to Ma Sheng.

Ma Sheng nodded with a serious look on his face and said, "The General of Mo understands that the General of Mo will block Zhao Jun from Li Ting at all costs!"

"Very good!" Bai Qi nodded with satisfaction. After giving the order, Bai Qi said to everyone: "The rest of the people follow me to take charge of the eldest son and fight against the main force of the Zhao army. Everyone, this battle is extremely dangerous. I hope you will do your best to win the victory and return to the court. I will ask for me!"

"The Great Qin Dynasty has won thousands of victories!" everyone said loudly.

Just as the Qin army was divided into several groups, Zhao Xin also welcomed generals from various groups in Tunliu City. This time, the generals of the Zhao army who came to Tunliu this time were Leyun, Zheng Tuo, Tu Gao, Dong Zhong, Kou Fei and others, and other generals were still on the way.

"Greetings to the General!" Everyone saluted Zhao Xin in unison.

Zhao Xin waved his hand and signaled that everyone would not have to be polite. Then he said with an embarrassed look: "You don't have to be polite. I'm ashamed of saying that the Qin army is powerful, so I'm sorry for you to come and help!"

"The general laughed when he saw this. They were all ministers of the Great Zhao, just their own affairs!" Everyone responded!

Zhao Xin nodded and said, "You are here from afar. You should have had a good rest, but the war is in a hurry. When you arrive, I have already received the news that the Qin army has divided its troops to guard the Shishi, Fajiushan and Liting, and connect with Changzicheng to block our army's southward journey. If the Qin army is fully arranged, it will be much more trouble for our army to recover the lost territory!"

"What do you think the general?" asked everyone.

"The city of Changzi City is high and deep. Even though the Qin army has divided several troops, there are still tens of thousands of elite troops stationed. Moreover, the enemy generals are still Bai Qi, who is famous for his strong attack, and it is not easy to succeed. The four Qin army routes have Li Ting's terrain, so the general plans to use this place as a breakthrough point, and Zheng Tuo obeys the order!" After analyzing the Qin army, Zhao Xin decided to use Li Ting as a breakthrough point and try to tear open the Qin army's defense line.

"The last one is here!" Zheng Tuo said out of the list!

"I will order you to lead 50,000 elite troops to attack Li Ting, but you must not fight to the death. If you fail to do anything, you should protect your strength!" Zhao Xin said.

However, this made Zheng Tuo a little puzzled. Since he planned to use Li Ting as a breakthrough point to tear open the Qin army's defense line, why should he protect his strength by himself? So he asked: "General, the Qin army's troops stationed in Li Ting are not as strong as the last general's. If the last general attacks at all costs, he can definitely break through. Why do he still need to protect his strength?"

Zhao Xin smiled and said, "Yes, the Qin army's troops stationed in Li Ting will definitely not exceed 20,000 people, and a fierce attack of 50,000 troops will definitely be taken. However, since Bai Qi dares to divide the troops, he will definitely rely on it. When Bai Qi's trump card is not clear, it is not rational to attack rashly. Therefore, at present, we should focus on preserving our strength. Even if our army's strength is better than the Qin army, we should still not underestimate Bai Qi's strength!"
