The Zhao army won a great victory in this battle.

Both of these wars were sudden. In the ambush battle, the Zhao army occupied an absolute advantage, but in the battle of siege, the Yan army had no response. The Zhao army attacked at night, and occupied the harmony between the heaven and the people.

The capture of Wuyang was carried out and tens of thousands of Yan troops were captured. The Zhao army suffered less than 8,000 casualties, and only more than 4,000 people were killed on the spot.

Among the more than 4,000 people who died in battle, about 2,000 were thrown under Wuyang City when Jiang Yu was defeated and lured the enemy.

As for the Yan State, except for about 6,000 people who fled, the rest were either killed or captured, and countless food, grass, weapons, and silver were seized.

It can be said that if it were not considered a fallen soldier, Zhao State's attack on Wuyang this time would not only not lose any money and food, but would also make a big profit.

The reason why the Zhao army was able to enter Wuyang City so quickly was that Jiang Yu's two suggestions were of course indelible.

After sorting out all the seized, Pang Nuan ordered the army to rest on site for three days, and at the same time sent a report to Handan.

Jiang Qi slept in a mansion in Wuyang City until noon the next day. After eating lunch from his maid, Jiang Qi began to think about this battle to defeat Yan.

Since the defeat of Yan State last year and the land was cedeed to Zhao State, Yan State's territory has become even narrower. Wuyang City can be said to be the only barrier for Yan State to face Zhao State. If Wuyang is lost, Yan State will have no danger to defend.

However, according to the information, if you want to attack Jicheng, you must first destroy Fangcheng and Zhuo County.

Yan State has heavy troops in Fangcheng and Zhuo County. If Zhao ** team directly attacks Jicheng, the rear route will be cut off by the troops of Zhuo County and Fangcheng.

Jicheng, Fangcheng and Zhuo County are the three cities that support each other, greatly increasing the difficulty of attacking Yan.

But if Zhao cannot win quickly and when Qin joins in, there will be no hope of destroying Yan.

With Qin's current hegemony among the seven countries, only one letter and an envoy can make Zhao retreat.

In fact, Pang Nuan no longer wants to continue to advance. This time, he led his troops to attack Yan, and the battle here is over.

Qin adopted the strategy of getting along with each other in the near and near attack. Yan, Qi and Chu were all within the scope of Qin's win over. Yan Dan, the crown prince of Yan, had also worked as a hostage in Qin. Although he has returned to China now, Qin's minister Zhang Tang entered Yan as prime minister last year.

Letting the ministers of Qin enter Yan as prime minister is another sense of betrayal, but it sounds nice in name.

Therefore, last year was the only chance for Zhao to destroy Yan. If you lose that opportunity, there would be no possibility of destroying Yan again, unless Zhao did not consider Qin's face at all.

Wuyang City is the only military city in Yan's defense against Zhao, so Wuyang must be returned to Yan, but Yan must also cede other land to Zhao.

"Oh! Qin State!"

Jiang Xi sighed softly.

After years of development, the Zhao** team has reached about 400,000 yuan, with a tax revenue of 400,000 yuan. Many ordinary people can only eat one meal a day, and the rest of the time they spend wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger. It is a blessing to not starve to death.

And how many armies did Qin State have?

Eight hundred thousand!

Qin State established its country with military force. After Shang Yang's reforms, Qin soldiers killed the enemy on the battlefield and even obtained titles.

Therefore, every soldier in Qin fights to the death, and even desires war.

The Zhao State's 400,000 troops, of which only about 100,000 are elite, and the rest are just farmers who have taken weapons and trained after a while.

Speaking of grain, Jiang Yu suddenly thought of the military farming system.

Jiang Yu didn’t know when the military farm system emerged, but at least there was no such system in this era.

Jiang Yu planned to personally present the military farm system to King Zhao after returning to this war to ease the food shortage in Zhao State.

In the next half month, Pang Nuan's troops surrounded Zhuo County and did not attack every day. They only confronted the Yan army in the city, waiting for Handan's orders.

Sure enough, half a month later, Handan came to take the order, allowing Pang Nuan to retreat immediately.

It took more than ten days before Jiang Yu returned to Handan.

General Jiang Xu was stationed near Handan, while he followed Pang Nuan into Handan, preparing to accept the reward from King Zhao.

After entering Handan, Jiang Yu washed up and went to Li Mu's house to have dinner with Li Mu, and was stayed by Li Mu for the night.

Xuan Jian was sent by Jiang Yan to receive the information from Xiaocao.

"General!" Xuan Jian handed a bamboo tube to Jiang Yan.

When he opened the bamboo tube, there was a bamboo slip inside. Jiang Yu opened it and saw that the prostitute had already done the matter. In the court tomorrow, King Zhao would be granted the title of Marquis Jiang Yu.

Qin State has twenty-class titles, but Zhao State has not said so much, but the title of Marquis is still very large.

It was as if Zhao State was named the King of Zhao by the Zhou Dynasty royal family and was one of the vassal states.

However, at this time, the Zhou Dynasty royal family had not been destroyed, and King Zhao was not qualified to be a marquis of the state, and even the county marquis would not be a marquis of the state.

The marquis that Jiang Yu is about to receive only rank and salary, but does not have a special fiefdom.

Just like the Blood-clothed Marquis in the Nine Songs of Heaven, he can hold military power, enjoy rank and rights, but he has no fiefdom.

Although the marquis promised by Zheng Ji to Jiang Yu was of high rank, he was still under the command of the general Li Mu in the army. Even how much military power he could get depends entirely on the meaning of Li Mu, the general of Zhao.

The system of Zhao State was very imperfect. At the beginning of its founding, the domestic official system was only imitated by the old system of the Zhou Dynasty and Jin State, and was far less perfect than the reforms of the Qin State.

However, the system is not perfect, and there are also the benefits of imperfection.

In Zhao State, some positions can be said to be inseparable from civil and military affairs, and even the lord and officials are in charge of the government affairs.

In other words, after Jiang Yu received the title, he could not only take charge of military power, but also participate in the government affairs. You can do whatever King Zhao asked you to do, and you don’t even need to set up another official position.

For official positions with the same title or even below, Jiang Yu can do it as long as there is the order of King Zhao.

Putting down the bamboo slips, Jiang Yu smiled faintly and said to Xuan Jian: "From tomorrow, you will call me the marquis."

"Yes, Marquis." Xuan Jian replied.

"You are really boring." Jiang Yu rolled his eyes and decided not to joke with Xuan Jian any longer if he had nothing to do.

"It seems that this prostitute is really working hard. The one thousand gold we pay every month is not in vain." Jiang Yu's face still had a smile. There was no outsider here, and Jiang Yu didn't want to disguise him.

"The greater the power of the marquis, the more stable the position of the young master Qian will be in the future." Xuan Jian said.

"That's true!"

"Xuan Jian, we have saved a lot of money now! In a few days, you will be responsible for helping me train a group of intelligence personnel and killers!" Jiang Qi's smile gradually disappeared. After entering the court, some things were not as simple as the army.

"In the palace, I must firmly grasp any information about this person's information."
