"So one of the conditions, and the most important one, is Emperor Qin?" Gui Gu asked.
"That's right, and it may be King Wei who is in charge. After all, an uninvited guest came to his backyard, and he was panicking." Shu Li made a scared expression.
Looking at Shu Li's appearance, Gui Gu, who had always been stern, couldn't help but have a slight smile on his face.
"Eh? Senior brother, you laughed." Shuli noticed with sharp eyes that the aloof senior brother could actually laugh, and suddenly she seemed to have discovered something extraordinary.
Gui Gu instantly lowered the corners of his mouth.
Shuli suddenly felt pity.
"Then what does it have to do with Qi State?" Gui Gu wanted Shuli to get back to the topic, but he was trying to hold back his embarrassment.
Shuli stared at Guigu and found that his senior brother had returned to his previous appearance.
"Since he is the emperor of Qin, it means that he has formed an offensive and defensive alliance and a community of interests with the Qin State, and is even almost completely obedient to the Qin State." Shuli paused and continued, "The last time we were so united with Zhao, Wei and Qin,
Just like last time."
Seeing that her senior brother had no reaction at all, Shuli coughed lightly to ease her embarrassment.
"Well, the last time we united with the Qin State, it was the [Five Kingdoms Conquer Qi] led by the Yan State, which almost destroyed the Qi State. Now it seems that it wants to move closer to the Qin State. Can the King of Qi not be anxious? He
Extremely anxious."
"Then Junior Sister Yi guesses who will be the final winner in the end."
Shu Li thought for a while and then said: "In the battle, maybe the Eastern countries won but also lost. Qin lost, but it has won."
"Oh? How come you can see that?"
"The State of Qin already controls Shangdang. As the "backbone of the world", Shangdang's strategic position is very important."
Gui Gu suddenly stood up, left a message "Wait for me for a moment" and walked into the house.
When Shuli saw Gui Gu coming out again, she found that he was holding a roll of silk in his hand.
Gui Gu returned to his previous position and spread out the silk in his hand.
Only then did Shu Li realize that this was actually a map. Although it was not very accurate, the approximate important locations were marked.
Thinking of the importance of a map in ancient times, my senior brother directly took out a map with the entire world marked on it.
Hiss~
Sure enough, his sect is extraordinary.
Shu Li found the location of Shangdang on the map and pointed it out, "Senior brother, you see, Shangdang is located in a highland. As long as the Qin State firmly holds Shangdang in its hands, then the three Jin areas can be conquered in the future.
Already."
Gui Gu looked at the map and nodded in agreement with Shu Li's statement.
Even though the Qin army suffered heavy losses after the Battle of Changping and the Battle of HD, it had already opened up a whole winning situation by holding the strategic location.
"Not to mention the future, the crisis in Zhao State has not been resolved yet." Gui Gu pointed out.
It means that Wei State was pulled by Chu State.
The Yan State is a faction that sits on the fence, and it has always been Qin. Zhao will force anyone to kiss him. It would be great if they don't take advantage of the situation, but obviously they can't be counted on.
The Qi State was weakened by the five-nation attack on Qi led by Le Yi. What they feared most was the strength of the Zhao State, and they were neither willing nor able to help.
So how should Zhao break the situation?
"Thinking about it this way, it seems that Zhao Guo is really GG." Shuli spread his hands and said.
"Yes?" Guigu didn't understand what Shuli was saying.
"Ah, no, no." Shu Li quickly waved her hands and said, "Actually, the defeat of Zhao State was not in Zhao, but in Wei."
After the First World War in Changping in the Kingdom of Zhao, every household hung white silk ribbons, and the cries never stopped.
"Junior sister seems to be seeing far away? Huh? Where are you going, junior sister?" Gui Gu looked at Shu Li running into the house in confusion.
"I'll be right back." Shuli's voice came from inside the house.
Not long after, Guigu watched Shuli come back carrying the teapot and teacup.
"Come, senior brother, I'll fill it up for you." Shuli put the teacup on the ground, held the teapot in both hands and carefully poured water, and then poured herself another cup.
"Huh~ I've been talking for so long and my mouth is dry." Shuli finished the drink and stood up to fill herself a glass again.
Gui Gu picked up the full teacup, took a sip and then put it down.
"Junior sister, don't pour the tea too full."
"Ah? Oh, okay." Shuli said she understood.
Gui Gu motioned Shu Li to continue the topic.
Shuli changed her sitting position, but she was still not used to sitting on her knees.
"The prince of Wei, Lord Xinling, and his eldest sister is the wife of Lord Pingyuan. I heard that the relationship between them is quite good?" Shu Li said.
Another historical allusion - Lord Xinling stole a talisman to save Zhao.
The original story says that Wei was afraid of Qin and did not dare to send troops. General Jin Bi led the troops but stopped midway. So Xinling Lord stole the military talisman with the help of his charming girl Ruji, and with the help of the warrior Zhu Hai
He killed Jin Bi, and the divine soldiers descended from the sky, defeated the Qin army, and rescued Zhao.
I used to be stupid and believed in all the historical stories. I thought Lord Xinling was too handsome.
Now do you think this is really something a prime minister of a country can do?
Putting personal emotions above national affairs?
It is true that Jin Bi is leading the army but he is not far away from the Qin army.
By carefully observing the location of Jin Bi's garrison and the size of Wei's troops, its combat intentions become clearer.
Yecheng is located in the south of Zhanghe River, only 40 kilometers away from HD, which is equivalent to 96 miles from Han Dynasty.
According to what is recorded in "Xunzi: The Military Review Chapter", "Wei's warriors were taken with due force. They wore armor with three attributes, wielded a twelve-stone crossbow, carried fifty arrows, placed a spear on top of it, and wore a crown and a belt.
"Sword, win three days of food, and march a hundred miles at noon." With the rapid marching speed of the Wei army's fully armed troops, it only took half a day to reach the gates of HD City.
In other words, if the Qin army launches a general attack on HD, the Wei army of Jin Dynasty can rush to HD in only half a day. It can happen that at the most embarrassing moment when most of the Qin army has invaded the city and the city is about to be broken, they can use field battles
The posture appeared behind the Qin army.
What if the Qin army goes south to attack the Wei army first? Then Jin Bi can also rely on the Zhang River to implement a strong defense, and the HD Zhao army will also attack from behind the Qin army. The Qin army will still be in the same embarrassment.
At this time, the climate in the Central Plains was still warm, and the Zhang River was deep and wide. For example, when Ximen Bao was in control of Ye, he threw the punished witches into the Zhang River. The Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty personally conquered Chen Xi, and he once said that "Xi cannot go south to capture the Zhang River."
, guarding HD in the north, knowing that there is nothing he can do." These two historical materials mentioned in "Historical Records" fully prove that the Zhanghe River at that time was suitable for organizing river defense.
Then couldn't the Qin army maintain the siege of HD and at the same time divide their forces to attack Jin Bi's reinforcements?
This involves Wei's basic judgment on the strength of the Qin army in this battle.
Judging from the Battle of Changping, the total force that the Qin Army can invest is only 400,000 to 500,000. However, the Qin Army lost more than half of its troops in the Battle of Changping, and the total force is now only around 200,000. And because the Battle of Changping happened to happen
On the occasion of the autumn harvest, the Qin State mobilized a large number of laborers to participate in war or logistics support, thus missing the farming season. Therefore, it can be judged that the Qin State must have experienced a huge reduction in grain production (that is why hundreds of thousands of prisoners were killed and even abandoned.
Abnormal behaviors such as taking advantage of the opportunity to destroy Zhao.)
Therefore, under the city of HD, the Qin State could only devote about 100,000 people to the battle at best, and its weak military strength was not even enough to form an encirclement against HD. Lord Pingyuan could repeatedly send envoys to Wei to ask for help, and even went to Chu in person to lobby the King of Chu to send troops.
This is clear evidence that the Qin army is insufficient in strength.
Based on the judgment of the actual difficulties and possible strength of the Qin army, Wei only mobilized 100,000 troops - the final result of the war also proved the accuracy of Wei's judgment.
As a huō jiè general with rich war experience, in order to keep abreast of the Qin army's movements, Jin Bi must have sent a large number of scouts to move around and cause trouble behind the opponent's formation.
Wang Ling and Wang Lu, who successively served as commanders of the Qin army attacking the city, were also famous generals in the world. Naturally, they were not unaware of the Wei army's strategic intentions, especially the Wei army scouts who were active behind the lines all day long, which gave them a headache.
But they must wait patiently.
Since Jin Bi's reinforcements were watching behind him, Wang Ling never dared to launch a fierce attack on HD City, and the war fell into a protracted siege. Due to extreme dissatisfaction with "poor fighting", Qin Zhaoxiang King Ying Ji replaced him at the beginning of the next year
The king's mausoleum was removed and replaced by Wang Lu, a famous general whose prestige among the Qin army was second only to Bai Qi's.
But faced with the same unsolvable battlefield stalemate as Wang Ling, Wang Hao could only continue to adopt siege tactics.
Jin Bi's Wei army was patiently waiting for the opportunity, and Wang Lu's Qin army was also waiting patiently - waiting for the country to gradually recover and send more reinforcements and food until they could ensure that they could attack HD City at the same time.
Start a two-front battle with Jin Bi.
Wang Lu is not hopeless. After all, in terms of national strength, Qin still has a crushing advantage over Wei.
He just needs some time.
This is why the search for a capital for Zhao has never been broken.
But it is the Zhao people in the city who are suffering.
Therefore, Mr. Pingyuan was not allowed to play the emotional card with tears streaming down his face. He was really crying, and he was as pitiful as he was.
