During the head-on confrontation between the two sides, an elite unit of the Zhao army suddenly came out from the flank.
Fan Yuqi was caught off guard and was defeated by the Zhao army. Li Mu took the opportunity to recapture Qiuyang, once again leveling the confrontation between the two armies.
By the time Wang Jian's troops heard the news and came to support, the grain and grass that the Qin army had hoarded in Qiuyang and that Fan Yuqi's troops were responsible for guarding had all been burned and destroyed by the Zhao army.
When the news came back to Handan, King Zhao was overjoyed.
He personally issued an edict to inform the world, telling Li Mu's troops to kill the Qin army, Fan Yuqi, who had more than 50,000 Qin troops under his command.
After Li Mu learned the news, he said to his deputy general Hu Zhe (hu, zhe): "We fought with Fan Yuqi and defeated him by taking advantage of his rash advance. However, our army only had time to burn the Qin army's food and grass, and Wang Jian returned to the rescue in time. There is no theory that tens of thousands of Qin soldiers were killed.
This is a false report of merit and will only make the people of Qin laugh at you."
The deputy general Hu Zhe said: "I think the king came here to stabilize the morale of the army and to boost the momentum of our country, Zhao."
Li Mu was silent.
He thought of the letter Zhao Huaizhong gave him again, and thought to himself: I have repeatedly used my tactics to deliberately avoid what was stated in King Qin's letter. The situation in this battle should not happen again as predicted in King Qin's letter...
But for some reason, Li Mu still had a lingering haze in his heart.
At the end of May, after losing the battle with Li Mu, most of the Qin army's grain and grass were destroyed. Fan Yuqi was so ashamed that he coincided with the historical trajectory. He did not dare to return to Qin and chose to flee to Yan...
In contrast, Yang Ruihe's troops frequently conveyed good news that nine cities had been conquered in Zhao.

Zhao Guo, Handan.
Deep in the palace, Zhao Qian asked Guo Kai: "Is there any result in choosing a sword boy for Ji Fu?"
Guo Kai said happily: "I have never found a suitable person among the people. However, when I was screening the daughter of the clan master Jia the day before yesterday, I found that she could warm the stone sword Ji Fu took.
Sect Master Ji was overjoyed and has stored the sword in his body."
Zhao Jia is the elder brother of Zhao Wangqian and a member of the Zhao clan.
But at this moment, he no longer cares about Zhao Jia's identity. As long as it can be detrimental to the people of Qin, let alone Zhao Jia's daughter, Zhao Qian will not hesitate if his brother Zhao Jia himself is involved.
Zhao Qian said: "My brother has suffered so much that I have to give up a daughter.
Guo Kai, you will go and deliver the imperial edict to my brother later, naming my brother’s daughter the Queen Concubine, and granting my brother a fiefdom and a fief to appease me.”
"promise!"
Guo Kai: "Master Ji Fu is very happy and said that he will kill Master Qin soon."
Zhao Qian hoped: "I wonder where Sect Master Ji is now. How sure can I be?"
"Sect Master Ji has left with the sword boy and is nowhere to be found. But when he left, he left a message telling him that the Immortal Killing Sword was born and could break both heaven and earth. Lord Qin will die this time."
Qin, Xianyang!
In the afternoon, Zhao Huaizhong took a break from his busy schedule and rode a unicorn for a walk among the clouds.
Fan Yuqi has arrived at Yandi, and he can attack Zhao with all his strength next... Zhao Huaizhong pondered silently.
Qilin rolled his melancholy eyes and carried him, finally falling from the sky and arriving at the Flower and Grass Residence.
When it fell from the sky, Qilin saw the Chaos Five-needle Pine.
It seemed to be taken aback, and asked in a vibrating voice: "King of Humans, is this tree a five-needle pine with innate spiritual roots and chaos?"
"Well, do you know this fairy seedling?" Zhao Huaizhong said.
"I naturally recognize that I was born with the spiritual wisdom passed down by my ancestors. There are more than ten innate spiritual roots in the world, and they are all divine creatures created by chaos.
Among them, the whereabouts of one spiritual root is unknown, it is the Chaos Five-needle Pine. Unexpectedly, it fell into the hands of the Human King and took root in Xianyang."
Qilin's big eyes were full of shock, joy and disbelief.
It stands under the five-needle pine tree: "When I came to Xianyang, I had a feeling that something was drawing me closer.
I originally planned to leave after giving Ziyu as a gift, but because I sensed a ray of qi in Xianyang City that attracted me to stay, I entered your Xianyang Palace. However, the heavy qi in your palace disturbed my perception.
After searching for several days, I still couldn't find the source of the aura, it turned out to be here."
Qilin kept talking: "I never thought that I would be imprisoned by the King of Humans, so the opportunity should be here."
"Does the human king know the true mystery of this innate spiritual root?"
"I don't know." Zhao Huaizhong glanced at Mu Yangjing who came out.
She also shook her head. Although the Chaos Five-needle Pine was a property of the Shennong clan, there was very little information left behind.
Qilinxing said hurriedly:
"The King of Human Beings will draw out the Qi from the purple jade I donated and use it to water this five-needle pine, so that you can see its mystery."
Ps: Let me tell you, I haven’t forgotten the leader’s update, I’m working hard...
