On the first day of March, Mengchangjun represented the State of Wei and formally signed an alliance with Zhao.

According to the contents of the alliance, the State of Wei presented five southern Shangdang Passes, including Changping Pass, Yangcaiban, and Dakou Pass, to Zhao as a friendly witness to the friendship between the two countries.

On the third day of the third month, a rebellion broke out in Zhongshan County, Zhao State. General Niu Jian, the Zhao State, was ordered to take charge of Zhongshan County and suppress the rebellion.

On the tenth day of March, General Le Yi of Zhao led his army of 70,000 from Shangjun, Zhao, and entered the territory of Shangjun, Qin. On the same day, the King of Qi took Shizi as his general and led an army of 150,000 to attack Song.

On March 15th, the King of Qin once again appointed Wei Ran as prime minister of Qin, and at the same time ordered Wei Ran and general Sima Cuo to lead 100,000 troops north to fight against Zhao's army.

On the Guanzhong Plain, black flags fluttered, and the big "Qin" character was flying in the wind. Countless Qin soldiers had resolute faces and eager eyes, forming a rolling black torrent, heading north.

Wei Ran was wearing military uniform and stood on the chariot, looking at the army beside him, full of confidence.

Since the Shangjun reform, generations of people have worked hard to cure things. Only then can the current prosperous era of the Great Qin and this world-famous powerful Qin army be established!

Wei Ran smiled at Sima Cuo beside him and said, "General Sima, how about this marquis leads this heroic army compared to Le Yi?"

Beside Wei Ran, there was Sima Cuo, a veteran of Qin State who was bearded.

Sima Cuo's body was straight. After hearing Wei Ran's question, he said in a deep voice: "With this powerful army, the world can go!"

Wei Ran laughed loudly.

Le Yi, Le Yi, this time, I will definitely return all the shame you gave to me!

Sima Cuo was silent for a moment and said again: "But Le Yi defeated Ranghou after all the last time. Ranghou needs to be careful when he leads his troops this time."

Wei Ran's smile suddenly frozen on his face, and he glared at Sima Dou with a fierce look.

Can't speak, can you say less?

Sima Cuo faced Wei Ran's gaze, not afraid.

As the leader of the local sect of Qin, Sima Cuo was the Grand Marshal of Qin and was in charge of Qin's military, and his status was only under Wei Ran.

Conquering Bashu, defeating Chu, and conquering Han and Wei, Sima Cuo made great achievements in military affairs. He did not think of being a second person in the current Qin State, and was highly valued by the King of Qin.

If it weren't for Wei Ran's strong suppression, Sima Cuo would have led a large army to conquer Wei, Chu and other countries, and it would have been no way Bai Qi's turn.

Although Bai Qi has achieved the achievements of the Battle of Yique, he is still too young in front of Sima Cuo!

Thinking of this, Wei Ran felt better again.

So what if you are Sima Chou’s seniority? This time I defeated Zhao Jun, this marquis is the first contribution!

So, Wei Ran's mood became happy again, and waved his right hand hard: "Send the order, the whole army will speed up and continue to go north!"

On the other hand, Le Yi also led the 70,000 Zhao army to head south in a mighty manner.

Later that day, Le Yi summoned the generals of the Zhao army to hold a meeting in the commander's tent.

Many eyes fell on Le Yi, some admiration, some scrutiny, and some vague contempt.

Not everyone is convinced of this leader who is the only one on his own for the first time.

Le Yi knocked on the map hanging on the wooden rack and said seriously: "Two and three sons, Wei Ran is now in a fierce manner, and wants to defeat our army in one fell swoop and recover the cities of the Shangjun of Dazhao last year. What if you are a general?"

Someone whispered: "Fight!"

Le Yi smiled heartily: "Yes, I'm summoning two or three sons today to tell you that this time, our army will fight against the Qin army head-on and win it!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the generals of Zhao who were present were immediately delighted, and many people showed a sense of fighting in their eyes.

In this era, what the generals are most afraid of is war!

Some people also showed unexpected expressions.

Everyone knows that the last time Le Yi defeated Wei Ran with a strategy.

The name of guerrilla warfare has either participated in it or heard of it.

This time, Le Yi actually gave up guerrilla tactics and dared to fight Wei Ran head-on?

This is indeed a manifestation of great courage.

Thinking of this, the general who was originally a little dissatisfied with Le Yi also improved a lot.

Three days later, the Qin and Zhao armies met in an open grassland thirty miles north of Guyang City and each set up a large camp.

Wei Ran climbed the lookout in the camp and looked towards the Zhao army camp in the north.

Wherever you see, red flags are waving, and the tents are arranged neatly and staggered in an orderly manner.

Wei Ran snorted softly and said, "This Le Yi seems to be quite capable."

Sima Cuo narrowed his eyes and said lightly: "Le Yi is a famous general! Looking at this camp, it is indeed not unfair to Marquis Rang to Le Yi last time!"

Wei Ran suddenly felt that it was a completely wrong decision to lead Sima to make a mistake.

This old guy’s mouth is really thrusting!

Wei Ran sneered and said, "General Sima, if you are the chief general, how should you deal with Le Yi?"

Sima Cuo said calmly: "Strange plans can be either one or two, but they cannot last long. Those who are good at making strange plans are often not good at fighting head-on. Therefore, you only need to find a way to fight Le Yi head-on, and I should be able to defeat it!"

Sima Cuo's words are full of confidence. This confidence is not arrogant, but comes from Sima Cuo's confidence in his past glorious achievements!

Wei Ran's face moved slightly and she tasted some taste.

Sima Chou, this is actually a satirizing Bai Qi who Wei Ran used.

Didn’t Bai Qi use standard tricks in the Battle of Yique?

Wei Ran curled his lips and said nothing.

What's wrong with using a strange strategy? Just win!

The record is amazing. You have to be the deputy general for this marquis?

No matter how you say it, Wei Ran was still very careful.

After both sides set up camp, Wei Ran did not choose to fight immediately, but took several days to prepare.

During these days, Wei Ran clearly understood the surrounding terrain and conducted some tests through several small-scale battles between the two sides in the wild.

Finally, Wei Ran felt safe.

The Zhao army did not show any qualities that surprised Wei Ran. Simply put, the Zhao army was still the same Zhao army.

So, Wei Ran no longer hesitated and sent people to the Zhao army camp to issue a letter of war.

The Book of War is a custom in the Spring and Autumn Period and earlier, and few people actually did this during the Warring States Period.

The reason why Wei Ran did this was because he felt that this would make his revenge battle seem formal!

Le Yi's reply was delivered soon.

"war!"

The next morning.

The camp gates of the two camps were opened almost at the same time, and countless soldiers of the two armies lined up from the camp gate and lined up on the grassland outside the camp.

The Qin army was like a black tide, with countless black flags waving and a stern military appearance.

The Zhao army was like red waves, with countless red flags flying, with amazing momentum.

Wei Ran stood on the chariot and stared at the Zhao Junshen Banner several miles away in front of him.

Although I couldn't see it, Wei Ran knew that Le Yi must be under the handsome flag.

Sima Cuo was next to Wei Ran. At this moment, the old general suddenly said: "I heard that Le Yi was suddenly promoted by the King of Zhao. He had never had the experience of leading troops alone before. Marquis Rang should be careful this time, and don't be taken advantage of by Le Yi."

Wei Ran sneered and said, "The strange strategy cannot last long. Isn't this what General Sima said? King Zhao is only seventeen this year. Even if he is really a wise man, I don't believe that he can win over me for two consecutive battles by just promoting one person! Come on, pass on the order and beat the drum to advance!"
