The colorful flags stand on the top of Aoshan Mountain. The north wind on the other side of the mountain peak is endless. Not only does it blow up the flags of the Chu army, but it also blows all the fireworks that rise when the Fangcang burns to the south of the Great Wall. The Great Wall was finally captured. However, the Chu army calmly retreated to the north of the grain transport canal, intending to let the enemy's corpses fill the grain transport canal again.

"General..." With a tired cry, Yang Duanhe was no longer surrounded by the generals, but Li Xin.

"General, our army's arrows have been exhausted, the food and grass are almost gone, and we can't fight again." The young Feng Jie's face was dark and his lips were chapped. He was complaining to Li Xin, his eyes were dim like a hairy Lu Li.

"General, you may attack the west at night." Wang Ben, who was also young, was unwilling to accept the last failure.

Previously, the Chu army deliberately did not build walls or wire on the west side, in order to lead the Qin army to the hook. When the Qin army attacked this five-mile-wide "gap" along the Great Wall from the west side, the Chu army, which quickly landed on the river, hit the back of the Qin army's array. The killing day and night caused a corpse wall to be built on the west side, which was originally without walls, and the Qin army drifted blood.

"The Jing people's boat master is fierce, and you cannot attack the west side again." Wang Jian sighed. "The last general asks the general to be wary of the Jing people's attack on my tiger prison."

"Report——!" Under the city, the person riding a horse was not a detective cavalry, but a carriage. Li Xin hurriedly sorted out his armor and stepped down from the city.

"The king has news. I ask when the general can take down Ao Cang?" The temple man in the car did not get off the car, he represented Zhao Zheng.

"I would like to advise the King, the Jing people have burned Fangcang and Ao Cang's grain and fodder are gone." Li Xin sighed heavily. His luck is much better than Yang Duan, who has become a city Dan. On the third day of taking over, the Chu army had finished transporting the fodder. Now they are dismantling the cranes on the dock.

"Oh?" In the eyes of the temple people, the attack on Ao Cang was to prevent the Chu army from transporting grain. He didn't know that if Ao Cang didn't take it down, the Qin army would not be able to travel east to rescue Daliang. "Is that true?"

"It's true." Li Xin avoided his body, "Please look at Fang Cang's fireworks."

Standing on the flat ground, you can only see the Ten Mile Great Wall that was obscured by piles of corpses. What is in the north of the Great Wall? It is impossible to see at all. However, the smoke rising from hundreds of square warehouses can still be seen in the south of the city. The temple people looked up and saw that the Great Wall was full of smoke pillars.

"The general's intention is..." The temple nodded.

"Report to the King's envoy, the last general thought that the Jing people would retreat within three days, and attack Ao Cang again would only increase casualties." Li Xin said. "Now, we should leave a hundred thousand troops to guard the Great Wall to restrain the Jing people from escorting our army's food route. The remaining troops rushed to Daliang quickly." Speaking of the food route, Li Xin had to ask again: "The last general asked the King's envoy to tell the King's envoy that the army had been completely arrowed, and the army had only been in five days to collect food and fodder. Please ask the officials who manage grain to increase food and fodder, otherwise the army will be in chaos."

The attack on Ao Cang suffered heavy casualties, but the reinforcements from all over the country continued to increase, and the number of soldiers of the Qin army has increased, and now it has reached 500,000. Because most of them are land transport, the strong men and officials have more than 100,200,000 grains and 70,000 stones of corn per day, and the two-shaft carriages that must be arrived every day need to reach 2,800. The Qin army did not say that there was no such food and fodder, but that there were not many carriages.

Yang Duanhe mentioned it every time, and Li Xin also mentioned it when he met. The king had to agree first and report to Zhao Zheng to solve it. The question was over quickly. The north wind rushed the back truck and rushed to Luoyang. However, before the back truck arrived, the bad news had already reached the Luoyang Palace.

"If the king doesn't save Yan again, Yan State will be destroyed!" Yan Dan, who was crying, bowed to Zhao Zhengda. Yesterday, the messenger of Yandu came to Luoyang and urgently reported that Li Mu led the Zhao army to defeat Juyongsai and had entered the Jicheng Plain. The messenger who asked for help was bypassing the northern end of Zhao's territory and coming from the grassland and Hetao. This road would take more than 20 days to quickly horses, and perhaps Yan State had already been destroyed.

"Why is this?" Yan State has always been an ally of Qin and an assistant to curb Zhao State. Qin State will never allow such an ally. Zhao Zheng stood up and found a case to ease Yan Dan. "After taking down Ao Cang and rescue Daliang, I ordered the army to save Yan."

"King..." Zhao Zhengyi comforted, and Yan Dan finally cried with grief and beat his chest and said, "However, the king's army is in Henan, Jingren Zhoushi, Jingren Zhoushi..., it is too much to save it, it is too much to save it!"

Yan Dan's crying surprised Zhao Zheng. Yes, the army was all south of the river, and the Jing people were all sailing across the river, and they could not go north to attack Zhao and save Yan. After the country recruited 500,000 troops again, the manpower was exhausted - Qin officials, officials and ministers, and common people who used hard labor to pay for their crimes. These people were huge. If they really wanted to recruit them, they would only increase the military achievements of the Zhao army.

"The Jing people's boat army is evil!" Zhao Zheng said angrily. The 800,000 army will fall into this situation when it attacks Chu, because of the Chu army's boat army. Relying on the warships, the Chu army will attack wherever they want, and will not have a head-on confrontation with the Qin army at all, and will always fight at the node of the Qin army's war machine. This is the case of the Battle of the Great Gobang, and the Battle of Ao Cang.

"Tell the King," the military officer who rushed in first paused his head, and then said: "The people of Jing have pulled out the beam."

"Ah!" Zhao Zheng's expression changed. He let go of the crying Yan Dan stare at the military officer: "Is it true?"

"Yes." The military officer's face was covered with dust. "This villain saw with his own eyes that Lian Po hung the flag in the northern city of Daliang, saying yes, saying yes..."

"What do you think?" Yan State was still separated by Zhao State, but Daliang was in front of him, and the blue veins on Zhao Zheng's forehead were already tense.

"The Wei people said that it was Xinling Jun who sent Wei generals to sacrifice to the city." The news about the military officers was not accurate, but at least some information was found.

"Xinling Jun?! How about the King of Wei? What about the royal city?" Zhao Zheng asked again, what he was most worried about was that the King of Wei surrendered to Chu.

"The villain doesn't know." The military officer couldn't answer Zhao Zheng's question, so he had to retreat. The one who retreated was Yan Dan who was crying loudly.

"King, it doesn't matter how King Wei is. Since Xinling Jun has sent Wei generals to sacrifice the city, Wei State will surely join forces." The veteran general gradually withered. Wen Xinhou, who had left Xianyang without authorization, was expelled from Xianyang and was sentenced to death after being driven out of Xianyang. He was killed by himself. Among the ministers, only the censor Feng Quji was the oldest, and he was also the most familiar with the war.

"What do Feng Qing thinks I should do?" Zhao Zheng restrained the irritability in his heart. He knew that this was the time to accept advice humbly.

"I think that if General Meng retreated from Jing State to the Song County of Wei State according to the pre-war plan, our army should stop the battle." Feng Quji said, with the only voice in Mingtang, the prime ministers on both sides were silent.

"Can you attack Daliang?" Zhao Zheng spoke these words after he was silent, but he was still unwilling to fail.

"No." Feng Quji shook his head. "The attack on Daliang in the west is protected by the Great Wall and obstructed by the Chize. Our army attacked several times but failed. Now Jing and Wei are in charge. How can we go down? Before the river is sealed, the Jing people's boat troops can attack Hangu from afar, Luoyang from afar, and Hulao from afar, where can our army's food routes exist? If the river is frozen, Yan State will be destroyed at that time."

Feng Quji was the son of Feng Ting, the governor of Shangdang County. Zhao State was granted the title of Feng Ting as the Lord of Huayang, but after the loss of 450,000 Zhao troops in the Battle of Changping, the king and ministers of Zhao State all blamed Feng Ting, completely forgot his joy when Feng Ting offered Shangdang. After Feng Ting's death, his fiefdom was taken back by Zhao State, and his descendants had to join Qin as ministers and generals. Feng Quji, with such a background, believed that Zhao Zheng, so he could listen to his words.

"The defeat of our army is due to the Jing people's boat army." Feng Quji continued, "The Jing people's boat army can travel four or five hundred miles a day, but our army is not at a loss. Therefore, the Jing people will defeat more and attack the land of my heart in every battle. If our army sets up defenses everywhere, the troops will be weak; if our army gathers troops in one place, they will not fight with me. In the past, the Qi people fear Yue as if they are afraid of tigers, which is why.

The people of Jing were as fast as warships, as strong as spear formations, as powerful as precious swords, as solid as huge armor. If they attacked Jing again, Zhao would take advantage of this to destroy Yan and become stronger again. I would not repay my gains and losses. Moreover, our army suffered consecutive defeats, and the five countries in Guandong would definitely be inferior to me. Once they were inferior to me, they would have to join the clan. Once they joined the clan, all the countries respected the King of Jing as the leader, and all the coalition forces all used the spear formations, and the Qin army did not go east."

After Feng Quji finished speaking, Zhao Zheng's unwillingness and anger disappeared, and replaced by a panic. He stood up and bowed to Feng Quji and said, "Please teach me Feng Qing."

"I dare not." Feng Quji did not be proud of Zhao Zheng's politeness. He avoided Zhao Zheng's bow and said again: "I think the three strategies should be implemented, and the first priority is to respect Jing."

"Respecting Jing?" Even though Zhao Zheng was mentally prepared to accept advice, he still couldn't stand the strategy of respecting Jing.

"That's right." Feng Quji said. "The nature of Jing people is to show but not believe, love but not be kind, deceitful but not wise, resolute but not brave, straight but not loyal, and not righteous, like a monkey in the mountains. Monkeys are not humans, and even people dressed in clothes and clothes will not be convinced. The Qin Dynasty is the domineering of the world. If you respect the Jing people humbly, you can become arrogant and arrogant. The Jing people will definitely not be able to achieve the same kindness. If the Jing people are arrogant, they will not be able to do it. Only when the Qin Dynasty is not able to separate and destroy it."

"I would like to ask Feng Qing's second strategy." Zun Jing couldn't accept it, but this was indeed a feasible strategy.

"The second strategy is to attack Zhao, save Yan, preserve Han, bribe Qi, and intervene Jing Wei." Feng Quji said again. "Yan State cannot be lost. Zhao State is no longer strong, so it is the first priority to attack Zhao; Han obeys, destroys and indestructions are not hindered from the overall situation. If it is not destroyed, our great Qin will be harmless. If Qin is not harmless, all countries will forget their previous hatred and have false thoughts, and regard Qin as a friend; the King of Qi has always been timid, so bribing his close ministers can prevent them from joining the army; Wei State was the overlord of the past and would never be willing to submit to the Jing people. Now that the Jing people have taken the lead, they are not convinced, so they should be separated.

The ancestor King Huiwen relied on Zhang Yi. Zhang Yi was the one who used Lianhe to break the Lianhe Zong. Although Jing State was stronger, Jing State could fight only more than 200,000 troops, and the country's people were less than 500,000 households, and there were fewer people. However, if they could combine, there were many people. Therefore, it was said that victory or defeat was not on the battlefield, but in the temple. The importance of the temple was not on the ranks of the superiors and inferiors, but on the unity or the formation or failure."

"May I ask Feng Qing's third strategy?" Zhao Zheng asked again. He finally returned to rationality and looked at the current war with another perspective.

"I heard that in the past, the Zhou people repeatedly attacked Xu Fang, but they were not victorious. King Mu of Zhou attacked him, but they were not victorious. The Xu people usurped and proclaimed kings, and practiced benevolent and righteousness, and went to the land to pay thirty-six countries. King Mu was worried about it, and the country in Xiji turned into a plan to defeat Xu, and King Mu then traveled westward and met the Queen Mother and obtained eight horses. After returning to Xia, King Mu took the horse of the eight horses and sent Zaofu to defend him. He ran a thousand miles a day, defeated the people of Xu and killed his king."

Feng Quji's words were like a myth, but the king knew the mystery. Zhao Zheng, who remembered some things, his pupils shrank, and he thought of it: "A country that is the extreme west?"
