Chapter 275 The Qin army was defeated, and the Yan people were shocked(1/2)

Wei Ran felt dizzy in front of her eyes, her feet softened, and she sat down with a thump.

Several personal guards were shocked when they saw this and jumped into the chariots to support them: "Your Majesty, Youth!"

Wei Ran gasped for some difficulty, and suddenly heard a series of neat shouts.

The sound was a little far away at first, but it quickly approached and became very clear.

"Kill the Qin thief and capture Wei Ran!"

"Kill the Qin thief and capture Wei Ran!"

Wei Ran laughed bitterly, and just as he was about to say something, the loyal captain of the guard finally couldn't help but sternly said: "Why are you still standing there? Take your lord back!"

Wei Ran opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything to fight to the death.

Wei Ran's chariot began to retreat under the escort of thousands of personal guards.

The high and windy Qin army's general flag also began to retreat with Wei Ran. After several miles, the general flag was too conspicuous, which attracted many pursuers. So the awakened Wei Ran had to order the flag to abandon it.

After a few swords and slashes, the flagpole broke instantly, and the black handsome flag landed from the sky to the ground, and was then submerged in countless steps.

As the head coach, Wei Ran's retreat became the last straw that overwhelmed the Qin army.

On the right wing of the Qin army, Bai Qi listened to the scouts' reward in shock, turned around and saw the scene of Wei Ran Shuaiqi retreating.

Bai Qi was completely stunned.

Countless emotions emerged in the heart of the Qin general, angry, shocked, unwilling, resentment... but they were all wiped out by him soon.

Bai Qi punched the handle of his chariot and gritted his teeth and issued an order: "Transfer the order and retreat immediately!"

At this point, unless the gods descend to earth, no one can reverse such a battle situation.

When Wei Ran and Bai Qi, the two top commanders of the Qin army, made the same move one after another, all the Qin army completely disintegrated.

The soldiers of Qin were fleeing everywhere in the mountains, and discarded armor and weapons were everywhere. Behind them were countless soldiers of the Three Jin coalition forces. From time to time, the soldiers of the Three Jin coalition forces chased the Qin army and stabbed them to death with a knife, then cut off their ears as certificates of war merit, and then continued to chase after them happily.

The fields were covered with the bodies of Qin soldiers, and the blood stained the earth red.

Many Qin soldiers ran away and lost their strength, so they simply stopped running. They turned around and knelt down and surrendered to the coalition soldiers who had arrived.

Zhao He quietly looked at the Qin general flag at the end of his sight and finally smiled on his face, which had been extremely serious.

Once upon a time, Zhao He couldn't help but be worried in his heart whether this battle in Lianggou would become the Waterloo of Zhao like the Battle of Changping in history.

After all, the opposite side is the Qin State ruled by the famous King Zhao of Qin, and Bai Qi, who is known as the number one general in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, is in charge.

But the facts proved that even Bai Qi still did not defeat Zhao State!

After all, I and Da Zhao won!

After defeating Qi, the position of the throne of the princes and overlords that Zhao State snatched was finally considered to be realistic and firm.

On this day, the Sanjin coalition forces chased after dozens of miles, and they fought until the sunset before officially declining. Many soldiers chased and started to chase and even returned to the camp one after another late at night and the next day.

In this battle, with the help of the sudden rebellion of the Han army, the Zhao and Wei coalition killed more than 50,000 Qin troops on the battlefield, and captured more than 80,000 enemies. Only a small number of Qin troops successfully fled under Bai Qi's command, and after joining with Wei Ran, they fled all the way back to Guanzhong.

The news came out and the world was shaking.

Handan, palace city.

"Big Father, Big Father!" Xiao Zhaoqian shook and hugged the master's father's calves and laughed.

The master father, who was walking out, stopped, bent down and patted Zhao Qian's little head, and smiled and said, "You and the eldest mother are here first, and the eldest father will have something to do when he goes out."

The master father lifted Zhao Qian up, walked to the empress dowager's couch a few steps, placed Zhao Qian carefully beside the empress dowager's pillow, and smiled apologetically at the empress dowager: "Empress dowager, widow's father will come back later."

The queen mother smiled slightly and said, "Master, let's take care of yourself."

The Lord Father nodded, glanced over the empress dowager's face, sighed lightly, but did not say anything, but walked out of the palace with big strides.

In the main hall of Xingong Palace, Fei Yi and several other ministers were anxiously waiting for the master's father for a while.

After the ceremony was over, the Lord's father sat down and said in a deep voice: "What's the situation?"

Niu Jian looked ugly and said, "King, the old minister is incompetent... The Yan army Qin Kai's headquarters is only thirty miles away from Handan."

Niu Jian really wants to die at this moment.

You should know that when Yan State suddenly turned against the water, Niu Jian followed the order of his master's father to take charge of Zhongshan County to block Qin Kai.

As a result, Niu Jian completely underestimated Qin Kai's intention to revenge and the combat effectiveness of the Yan army.

After using his strong attack, Qin Kai directly chewed Gu Cheng, an important town in Zhongshan County, and beat Niu Jian to abandon the city and flee.

After losing Gucheng, the Yan army drove south on the Hebei Plain, conquering more than 20 large and small cities of Zhao State along the way, penetrated the core area of ​​the plain in the southeast of Zhao State, and directly fought in front of Handan.

As the chief general of the Zhao army, Niu Jian was obviously unreasonable. After fleeing back to Handan from Gucheng, Niu Jian immediately apologized for guilt at home. This meeting was also forcibly brought by Fei Yi.

The master's father glanced at Niu Jian and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

These old guys who have been fighting with me for so many years need not be mentioned loyalty, but this ability...ah.

The master father said, "Wu Chengjun doesn't have to blame himself. Speaking of which, the widowed father didn't expect that Qin Kai was so fierce and fearless, and could give tens of thousands of soldiers' lives to forcibly attack the city... Hey, I really underestimate him. How many troops are there in Handan City now?"

Fei Yi replied: "There are about 20,000 people who can use it. Please ask the Lord's father to issue an order immediately to recruit young and strong men to join the army to defend the city."

The master's father nodded and said, "Okay, after the meeting, I will send an order. Anyone who wishes to join the army to guard Handan can be exempted from taxes for five years. The military merits he earned when defending the city will be doubled!"

Fei Yi said: "Here!"

The master father looked at Niu Jian again and said, "Wu Chengjun, you have had a fight with Qin Kai, and you must have a very good understanding of his way of siege. Then you will be responsible for the city defense. The widow's father doesn't want to see any mistakes again, do you understand?"

Niu Jian's body was shocked and he said in a deep voice: "Please rest assured, unless the old minister dies, Qin Kai will definitely not be able to enter Handan City!"

The Lord's father laughed and asked again, "By the way, what's going on over Anping?"

Fei Yi looked embarrassed and said, "Return to the master's father, because Qin Kai went south in a big way, his contact with Anping City has been cut off. The latest spy's return was three days ago, when Anping City was still holding on."

The master father nodded and said, "It seems right to let Zhao Qi go to Anping now. Anping can hold Ju Xin for a while, and the pressure on Handan will be reduced a lot."

Fei Yi responded and said, "Master, the news I just received was that Tian Zhou, a native of Qi, launched a rebellion in Donglai County. He had organized an army of thousands of people and was looting everywhere in Donglai County. It is said that he was still preparing to attack Jimo."

The master father yelled and said, "These remnants of Tian Qi are really terrified. Forget it, don't pay attention to him at this moment. Just let the officials from Donglai County stick to Jimo!"

Since the news of the sudden attack of Yan State spread, this is the fifth rebellion among the counties in the Qi area of ​​Zhao State in this period.

The centripetal force and sense of identity brought by the hundreds of years of rule of the kings of Jiang Qi and Tian Qi, after all, it was impossible to be destroyed by Zhao State with a victory so simply.

However, the Zhao king and ministers present also knew very well that the source of all the chaos lies in the stalemate of the war in the Central Plains of Zhao. Once Zhao wins in the Central Plains, there is no need for any worries about everything.

Si Kou Zhou, who was standing by, hesitated for a long time, finally couldn't help but say, "Master, the king...why, let the king discuss peace with the Qin people and lead the army back to aid?"

When Zhou Qi said something, the hall suddenly became quiet.

Zhou Zhi's meaning is actually very simple. Zhao State has actually made enough money now. On the premise of stabilizing the situation, even if it gives in to Qin State, it is not impossible to give in to Qin State and give out some benefits to Qin State.

As long as most of the results can be preserved, then for a few years, Zhao Guoan will still be afraid that countries like Qin and Yan will not be able to be beaten up?

It has to be said that there are actually quite a lot of ministers from Zhao State who support Zhou Zhi's opinion, otherwise Zhou Zhi would not have dared to put forward such opinions when Zhao He's prestige could almost be said to be at its peak.

However, just as Zhou Zhi put forward his opinion, he was neatly denied by the master's father.

"This matter is absolutely impossible, Zhou Qing."

Zhou Zhi was a little anxious: "Master, the situation is so critical now, and the Central Plains cannot open the situation. If Handan is opened by Qin..."

"There is no in case." The master's father calmly interrupted Zhou Zhi's words: "Widow's father said it again. All you have to do is help the widow's father guard Handan well. After the king's victory, everything will naturally come..."

The Lord Father's words were also interrupted by a sound of footsteps.

A messenger appeared at the palace gate, panting, but his expression was extremely excited: "Master, Lianggou is a great victory, Lianggou is a great victory!"

"What?" The Zhao king and his ministers present were overjoyed and stood up at the same time.

A moment later, the Lord's father held the letter of victory written by Zhao He in his hand and couldn't help laughing to the sky.

"My son's achievements are better than me!"

Thirty miles outside Handan City, more than 60,000 Yan troops were heading south in a mighty manner.

Qin Kai, the chief general of the Yan army, did not ride a chariot, but rode a white horse, his eyes gathered in points and stared at the distance to the south.

There, the outline of a majestic city was already vaguely visible, and it was the capital of Zhao State Handan.

Looking at Handan in the distance, Qin Kai's smile gradually became a little distorted.

He used to be a proton in the Donghu for many years, so he was inevitably infected with the barbaric habits of some nomadic peoples on the grassland.

After conquering Gucheng, Zhao State, Qin Kai led his army to kill in the city. The entire Gu city was bleeding. Countless soldiers and civilians who surrendered after the city was broken fell under the butcher knife of the Yan army.

If the situation in Gucheng could be reproduced again after conquering Handan...

Qin Kai licked his lips and suddenly laughed, with extremely obvious expectation in his eyes.

A Yan army messenger rushed over, looking extremely in a hurry.

"General, it's not good!"

Qin Kai frowned and said, "What's wrong?"

The messenger said: "I just received the news that the main force of the Zhao army united Han and Wei to defeat the Qin army in the Battle of Lianggou, beheading countless people!"

Qin Kairu was struck by lightning, grabbed the messenger's shoulder and shouted: "This is impossible!"
To be continued...
