"boom……"

In Haoyi City, in the Zhao Jun camp, a loud noise broke the silence in the room.

In the hall, all the generals of the Zhao army were silent. You looked at me, and I looked at him. No one dared to speak as they looked at each other.

Seeing the expressions on the faces of his generals, King Zhao Zhong became even more angry.

"Trash, a bunch of trash!"

The roar rang in the ears of the generals, until their eardrums were shattered.

"I have gathered an army of 100,000 people this time in order to defeat the Zhongshan Kingdom in one fell swoop."

"I never thought that the 30,000-strong army in Daidi in the north would not only be blocked outside the Hongshang Fortress and unable to move south, but the grain roads would also be repeatedly threatened by small groups of skirmishers in Zhongshan, making the offensive almost unsustainable."

"The 30,000-strong army outside Fuliu City has launched offensives again and again in the past few days. However, they have only left corpses one after another in vain. Fuliu City has not been shaken at all."

When he thought about the battle reports he had received in the past few days, and when he thought about Zhao Jun's successive defeats on the battlefield, the anger in Zhao Zhong's heart became even more intense.

"boom……"

"boom……"

"boom……"

Burning with rage, three heavy slaps sounded, and the look in Zhao Zhong's eyes became more and more dangerous.

"Generals, do you have any good strategies for defeating the enemy?"

"King Qi..."

Facing Zhao Zhong's wrath, which was like a mountain or a sea, a general of the Zhao army who was standing at the forefront of the generals stood up.

Carefully raising his head and taking a look, the general of the Zhao army was bold but cautious, "Your Majesty, the soldiers of Zhongshan have always been strong in battle, so our army should plan slowly."

"Slow plot?"

After saying this, Zhao Zhong's eyes burst out with endless anger.

"Do you know that while you are slowly plotting, the main force of Zhongshan's army is about to arrive at the bank of Sophora River."

"How long will you continue to plot slowly? Do you want to wait until my Zhao army is defeated by the Zhongshan Army and I am captured alive by the enemy?"

After saying these heart-wrenching words, Zhao Zhong was still angry and threw out the bamboo slips on the table in front of him.

"Snapped!"

Without enough time to feel the pain of the bamboo slip hitting his face, the Zhao Jun general immediately bowed and said, "Your Majesty, calm down your anger, Your Majesty, calm down your anger..."

"Please, father, please calm down."

When he heard the sounds of relief among the generals, the expression on Zhao Zhong's face became even more ugly.

But when he saw the young man who stood up clearly, Zhao Zhong restrained his anger slightly.

Zhao Guogong's son Zhao Ji, who was always paying attention to the changes in Zhao Zhong's expression, saw that the expression on his father's face did not deteriorate, so he immediately boldly stood up.

"To inform my father, I believe that the war situation is currently in a stalemate between the two countries, and our country, Zhao, still has the upper hand."

As soon as Gong Zizhen said these words, the expressions of all the Zhao generals in the hall changed, and the expression on Zhao Zhong's face became obviously much better.

That's it, the current war situation is not as alarmist as what the person just said.

Although Zhao State was blocked by the Zhongshan Army and was stagnant, Zhao Army was still on the offensive after all. This meant that it had firmly gained the upper hand!

The gradual increase in age made the once wise King Zhao become more stubborn and irritable;

The successive victories following the Wei State and the huge profits gained from it filled Zhao Zhong's heart with pride.

If this were not the case, he would not have mobilized an army of 100,000 troops this time to prepare to defeat the Zhongshan Kingdom in one fell swoop.

In Zhao Zhong's view, Zhongshan Kingdom was just a thorn stuck in Zhao Guo's body. Even if it caused Zhao Guo pain, it would be easy to pull it out.

"My son is right."

Looking at the young master in front of him with a satisfied smile, Zhao Zhong continued to ask: "I wonder how my son should respond?"

"Report to my father..."

As he bowed and saluted, Young Master Zhen's face was full of confidence, "What our Zhao country is missing right now is just a big victory, a hearty victory."

"As long as we can defeat the Zhongshan Army that came to fight, our army will not only be able to take advantage of the victory and invade Zhongshan territory, but the other two armies will also be able to make breakthroughs."

"Father..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a look of determination flashed across Gongzi Zhen's face, "My son is willing to be a vanguard and fight for the Kingdom of Zhao in Zhongshan."

"My son is very eager to fight, but..."

As Zhao Zhong spoke, he slowly stood up from the throne, a trace of majesty emerging in his eyes.

"I have decided to personally lead the army to fight in Zhongshan."

…

"The Zhao army in Haoyi City sent a letter of war, stipulating that our army will fight at the bank of Huaishui River in three days. I don't know what General Long Jia, the prime minister, thinks?"

In the Zhongshan Kingdom camp on the north bank of Huaishui River, Zhongshan Gongji Heng looked at the Zhongshan Prime Minister sitting on both sides of him in the music pool and asked Long Jia, the guest general.

"Your Majesty, the general is willing to lead his army to fight." Lechi replied immediately without any hesitation.

"Your Majesty, I have fought against the Zhao army many times. The people under my command this time are also the elites of our Zhongshan Kingdom. Their combat power is definitely better than the Zhao army on the opposite side."

"Even if the strength of our Zhongshan Army is not as good as the Zhao Army on the other side, I am confident that we can defeat it."

"Xiang Guo is indeed my good general in Zhongshan." Extremely satisfied with Lechi's answer, Zhongshan Duke Ji Heng looked at Long Jia on the other side.

"First, since the war began, the Zhao army's offensive has been repeatedly frustrated, while Zhongshan has been victorious."

"Secondly, Zhao Jun was eager to seek a decisive battle, but Zhongshan State responded calmly."

"Thirdly, the Zhao army did not know the combat power of the Zhongshan army, but the Prime Minister knew the combat power of the Zhao army well."

Bowing to Ji Heng, the Duke of Zhongshan, who was sitting above him, Long Jia said bluntly: "For these three reasons, Zhongshan State can fight with Zhao State."

"And don't forget, Mr. Zhongshan, that the Kingdom of Zhongshan is not fighting alone."

"General Long Jia is saying..."

Yes, it refers to the Qi State, Yan State, and the Wei State hiding behind it.

Once Zhongshan wins this battle, Qi and Yan will immediately send troops to seize Zhao's land in the east.

Once Zhongshan State is defeated, Qi State and Yan State will also take action, but they will change from attacking Zhao State to assisting Zhongshan State.

If things really get to the point where they are completely out of control, Wei Guo may also end up saving Zhongshan State, a sharp blade stuck in Zhao Guo's chest.

It can be said that if this battle is won, the Zhongshan Kingdom can take advantage of the situation and seize a large area of ​​land belonging to the Zhao Kingdom.

If this battle fails, the Zhongshan Kingdom will only lose some land at most and will not have to worry about national subjugation.

With such two completely different results before his eyes, Zhongshan Gong Ji Heng did not hesitate much.

"good."

"Since Zhao State wants to fight, then I, Zhongshan State, will accept the fight!"

"Prime Minister, General Long Jia..."

"The end is here!"
Chapter completed!
