Just as the envoys from various countries were busy dealing with each other, Zhao Kuo made new moves.

The next day after the war, Zhao Kuo ordered Zhao Zhuang to lead 50,000 elite light cavalry to go east to Wukou Xing and enter Henoi, then turn southwest to attack the Yewang Fortress.

Since the Zhao army had been a Hu Feng since Hu clothing, riding and shooting, they had already become Hu Feng. Everyone brought horses with dry meat, so they could have a light battle for ten days. To ensure that the lords such as Di Chen took the initiative to contribute a full 400,000 military ration pills, and all handed over to the Zhaozhuang army. In this way, Zhaozhuang led a 50,000 army army to go east with light equipment, without any signs of food and grass mobilization. It was really unaware of it.

The Yewang Fortress is the Qin Army General Logistics Base and is the only fortress leading to Shangdang in South Korea.

Three years ago, Bai Qi ordered the Wangling to conquer the Yewang Fortress. The army stationed in Ding Ding, and immediately built a large granary for long-term storage of grain. At the same time, the Yewang advanced north to Shangdang and went south to the official road of the river to prepare food, grass and supplies to transport it. In the following year, the carts were endless, and the rivers were endless, and all the military grains in the granaries in the country were transported to the Yewang.

After three years of confrontation, the Qin army's food and grass transportation has never stopped, and the wild kings have already hoarded it into several large warehouses.

After Bai Qi joined the army and replaced Wang He as the general of the Qin army, the strategic center of the Qin army had moved north to Duanshi Town west of Laomaling.

The Wang Tomb, which had previously stationed at Yewang Fortress, also led his troops to enter the Changping War Zone under Bai Qi's order.

As the battle progressed, in order to be foolproof, Bai Qi transferred the rear army to Changping several times until he besieged the Zhao army. The Yewang Fortress was already a few major generals.

Zhao Zhuang led 50,000 light cavalry, traveling day and night, and arrived at the Yewang Fortress in ten days.

The defenseless Ye Wang Fortress, facing the sudden arrival of the elite Zhao army, although the fortress defenders rose up to resist and tried to seize the city, they were really outnumbered.

In addition, the accompanying Wolf Warrior and others used storage bags to bring a lot of siege equipment. After a fierce battle, the Qin army was finally defeated, and all the members were killed, and no one survived.

After capturing the fortress, Zhao Zhuang immediately ordered a big fire to ignite the granaries in the fortress.

The blazing fire was red and most of the sky. Because there was too much food in the granaries, the fire burned for three days and three nights, but it had not yet been extinguished. A burnt fragrance spread throughout the fields.

When the Qin army in Hanoi received the news and rushed to reinforce, Zhaozhuang's army had already evacuated. Seeing the Yewang Fortress burned into ruins, the Qin army soldiers looked pale.

***************

If the Zhao army escaped from the trap and Wang Ling died in battle, it would not be enough to make the Shandong countries make up their minds, then the fall of the Yewang Fortress would allow the princes in the world to see hope of defeating the Qin army.

Among all countries, Wei and Chu were the most active.

The Xinling Jun of Wei State and Chunshen Jun of Chu State tried their best to lobby their respective kings and requested to send troops to attack Qin together. Even Han was not willing to be lonely and re-activated Feng Ting, the former governor of Shangdang County. The profound meaning of this is self-evident.

The three Jins teamed up again, and it was so close. For a moment, the world was covered with clouds.

The Battle of Changping brought together more than 90% of the troops of Qin and Zhao countries. Both sides fought to the forefront. If either side was defeated, they would fall into a state of doom.

***************

Handan, Zhao Kingdom Palace.

King Zhao Xiaocheng's mood suddenly improved after a month of gloomy mood. He said happily: "The horse coquettish did not disappoint me. He is really a famous general in the world!"

The ministers agreed, but Lin Xiangru, who was beside him, felt mixed feelings.

The Zhao army was determined to win this battle.

The Qin army's food and grass were cut off, so they could only be forced to withdraw. Shangdang returned to Zhao, which was not far away.

Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng was still a little worried and said carefully: "Your Ma Fuzi is young and energetic. This great victory is probably to regain arrogance. If the Yewang Fortress falls, our army will only be defended by the pass, and the Qin army will naturally retreat. I am afraid that Ma Fuzi will advance lightly again and fight the Qin army again. It is very bad."

Pingyuan Jun’s words were like a cold wind blowing through the court, making the court feel cold.

When the ministers thought of the Zhao army being surrounded again, all the ministers shivered. Bai Qi's reputation was too great. Even in such a situation, no one could say that the Zhao army was sure to win.

Once Bai Qi seized the opportunity, the turnaround would be in an instant.

Like Pingyuan Jun, King Zhao Xiaocheng was still scared of Zhao Kuo's previous underestimation of the enemy. He had previously learned that Zhao's army was surrounded, he could not sleep all night.

After hearing what Pingyuan Jun said, King Zhao Xiaocheng felt nervous and said, "Uncle Wang's words are reasonable. I immediately drafted an edict, and Uncle Wang personally took it to the military camp to restrain the horse and cowardly, and should not go out of seclusion and fight easily."

"No!" Pingyuan Jun finally felt relieved.

***************

Handan, Lianpo's mansion.

After being removed from his post as general by King Xiaocheng of Zhao, Lian Po did not obey the arrangements of his good friend Lin Xiangru and went to Chu to work. Instead, he returned to the mansion of Handan and stayed in the door and ignored guests.

When Lao Lianpo heard the news that the Zhao army had captured the Yewang Fortress, he murmured to himself: "Are you really wrong? Are you really not as good as Ma Fuzi? I hope the Zhao army will win a great victory, and there will be no regrets in this life."

***************

Qin State, Xianyang Palace.

King Zhao of Qin frowned and looked at Fan Ju opposite him, saying, "Yinghou, what is the situation of various countries?"

The fall of the Yewang Fortress caught the king and his ministers off guard. Fan Ju seemed to have a few more white hairs and said bitterly: "Your Majesty, the battle situation is reversed, no matter how you attack the diplomatic relations, it is useless. The key is Wu'an Jun, let's see how he reverses the unfavorable situation of our army."

King Zhao of Qin had previously been in the logistics department of the Governor of Hanoi. Before returning to Xianyang, he had met with Bai Qi. The conversation between the king and his ministers was unknown to outsiders. The only change was that after the secret talks, King Zhao of Qin looked much more relaxed, and he was no longer as solemn as when he first received the news of the fall of the Wild King.

Bai Qi's words before leaving echoed in King Zhao of Qin again: The loss of a city and a place is not enough to influence the outcome of a war. What really determines the success or failure of a war is on the front battlefield.

"The Prime Minister continues to be in charge of Xianyang, manages the government affairs, and does his best to collect food and grass and transport it to Duan Town. The king will go to Hanoi again to mobilize men over 15 years old to form reinforcements and rush to Changping." King Zhao of Qin said decisively.

"No!" Fan Ju replied solemnly that the Qin Dynasty's domestic and foreign affairs were at a time when the king and his ministers worked together. This situation made Fan Ju unable to help but say: "God old Qin and go to the national crisis together."

"Yes, this is the most difficult period for us old Qin people. I believe that we can withstand the difficulties and overcome this difficulty." King Zhao of Qin was passionate.

Compared with Zhao State, the monarch and ministers of Qin State are even more tenacious in adversity.

***************

The outside world is changing, but the battlefield in Changping is silent.

After successfully taking down the Yewang Fortress, Zhao Kuo mobilized 50,000 infantry from the 150,000 army outside the Guguan City to increase the Huguan Fortress. He must stick to the only level fortress between Guguan and Handan to ensure smooth food access.

At this point, the Zhao army formed a vertical defensive front of hundreds of miles along the Huguan Fortress - the Guguan Fortress - the Wangling Camp, forming a vertical defensive front of hundreds of miles in Mianyang, completely cutting off the possibility of the Qin army siege of Zhao.

Huguan and Guguan echo each other. If the Qin army wants to run north of the Great Wall, they will have to face the front and back attacks of the two passes. Unless the main army is dispatched, it will be difficult to break down.

Langshan, the Central Army Shogunate.

After introducing the arrangements of the Zhao army opposite, the Central Army Sima introduced the latest military situation: "Xinling Jun of Wei led a 150,000 army, set out from Daliang, and advanced to Hanoi County, with the troops heading directly to Changping. In addition to Wei, the rest of the countries were also mobilizing wars, and the momentum of the coalition was gradually formed."

"Damn it, a bunch of fencemen!" Wang Yan, who was irritated, couldn't help but curse.

There was no food and grass inside and strong enemies outside, which was an unprecedented crisis in the Qin army. Even so, the generals were not depressed. The reason was that Wu'an Jun Bai Qi, who was sitting behind the commander's case, was the god of war in their hearts.

"How much food and grass are there in the army?" Bai Qi asked in a deep voice.

"In addition to the Yewang Fortress, Duanshi Town, Laomaling and Guanglang City, some food and grass are stored, but the amount is not large. Together, it is enough for the army to consume for 20 days. In addition, Yinghou has begun to collect food and grass from the country and transported it to Duanshi Town one after another. Also, due to the long journey, it is impossible to count on in a short period of time."

Bai Qi nodded, looked around the generals, and said calmly: "The Zhao army has four leaders. First, there is sufficient food and supplies. Second, reinforcements are coming. Third, the positions are shrinking and the defense is effective. Fourth, the defeat is turning into victory and the morale is strong.

However, the Zhao army also had four shortcomings. First, the vertical defensive front built seemed unbreakable, but in fact the front line was too long, and the army could not take into account both the head and tail, and lacked horizontal extension. As long as we make up our minds, we could easily cut it into two pieces. Second, after the Zhao army captured the Yewang Fortress, it was unable to pursue the victory, and did not completely block our army's grain transportation channels. The tactical implementation was not thorough, giving us a chance to turn the tables. Third, successive victory, and the Wei army was about to come to reinforce, and the desire to underestimate the enemy in the army gradually arose. Fourth, the army retreated to the old gate, and the tactical choice was single, from active attack to passive defense."

The cave was quiet and breathing sounds. The generals knew very well that every time a war, Wu'an Jun had to clarify the general trend of the two armies first, and after clarifying the enemy situation, he would make drastic strategies to defeat the enemy. The generals were waiting with their breath and were waiting for this most heart-wrenching moment.

"Our army defeats the enemy, and it is sixteen big characters." Bai Qi paused every word, and every word was like a rock. "Encircle the points and attack the reinforcements, strengthen the walls and clear the fields, kill the snakes seven inches, and block the encirclement and suppression!"

Wang Yi bowed: "Please make clear to Mr. Wu'an!"
