Chapter 177: The Power of the Three Realms of Saints(1/3)
Zhao Huaizhong ordered the attack on Zhao, and Da Qin's ministries coordinated and mobilized supplies and logistics across the board.
Half a month later, to mid-March, spring begins to warm up again.
The Qin army marched out and forced the troops to attack the Zhao territory.
What people didn't expect was that the Zhao people took the lead in issuing a petition against Qin, and the people against Qin were violent and led to constant military disasters;
He pursued the people of Qin for his own selfish interests, regardless of the safety of the world, and all five countries suffered from it;
The emperor of Qin was very ambitious and fought for many years, using excessive force and force.
At the end of Zhao Ren's message, the topic changed and he accused the Qin army of killing Pang Nuan's whole family even when Pang Nuan was old. No one was left alive, and he was no better than humans and animals.
As soon as the news came out, not only Zhao people were in an uproar and indignant.
Other countries, especially the Wei people, also stood up and echoed the Zhao people's appeal, inviting the world to fight against the Qin Dynasty.
On the day when the appeal against Qin was issued, Zhao Yan personally climbed to the top of Handan City with a sad look on his face. In front of tens of thousands of Zhao troops outside the city, he was heartbroken over Pang Nuan's death.
Then Zhao general Li Mu was awarded the military talisman in public, and ordered him to lead the army to resist Qin, protect Zhao, fight for Pang Nuan, and fight for the countless Zhao people who died in the past.
On top of the city, Zhao Yan was even heartbroken over Pang Nuan's death and fell to the ground and fainted.
Zhao Jun was moved when he witnessed this scene.
Pang Nuan once forced Zhao Yan to abdicate, but when Pang Nuan died, the king was heartbroken.
Zhao Jun rushed to the border in silence, and everyone was filled with anger.
Five days later, Handan, Zhao Palace.
In the dormitory, Guo Kai saluted King Zhao Zhao Yan with a look of joy that could not be concealed on his face.
"Right now, everyone in our Zhao army is indignant and saddened by the death of General Pang Nuan. As soon as the king issued a message, this confrontation will definitely kill the Qin army and enhance the power of our country!" Guo Kai said.
Zhao Yan also had a faint smile on his face, and said thoughtfully: "Pang Nuan's body disappeared afterwards. Has the reason been found out?"
Guo Kaidao: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, even if the Qin people discover it first and take away Pang Nuan's body, the matter is already a foregone conclusion.
Having Pang Nuan's body in their hands will only further prove that he was killed by the Qin people."
Zhao Yan nodded slightly, "Have Pang Nuan's family handled everything properly?"
Guo Kai said in a deep voice: "The people of Qin were angry that Pang Nuan led his army to resist Qin many times, and even his family members were not spared.
After the Pang Nuan family returned to their ancestral home in Ling County, the Qin people secretly sneaked into our Zhao territory and killed them. No one in the family, old or young, survived. Then the Qin people set fire to the ancestral home of General Pang Nuan."
Zhao Yan hummed.
What he likes most is that Guo Kai not only understands his intentions when explaining things, but also implements them thoroughly.
Zhao Yan glanced at Guo Kai and said, "When the Qin army is forced to retreat, I will propose to Guo Kai that you be our prime minister."
"No!" Guo Kai was overjoyed.
————
The border between Qin and Zhao.
The Qin army raised 200,000 troops, and another 50,000 rear troops were mobilized for a total of 250,000 troops to attack Zhao.
The Zhao people have always been good at fighting. If we look at the quality of the soldiers alone, the Zhao people are higher than those of Qi and Chu, and can be tied with the Qin army.
But in the Battle of Changping, the King of Zhao at that time changed his generals before the battle and replaced Lian Po with Zhao Kuo. As a result, 400,000 Zhao troops were trapped and killed by Bai Qi, Lord Wuan.
The Zhao people thus became weak and were once short of troops.
More than twenty years later, Zhao's troops gradually recovered. Facing the Qin army this time, they also assembled 150,000 troops and were on the defensive. They could rely on the city to defend, so they had no disadvantage in terms of troops.
At this moment, the Qin army pressed on the border, gathering like a tidal wave outside Wucheng, an important border defense town on the Zhao border, and lined up.
Hundreds of thousands of Qin troops were spread all over the mountains and plains, and as far as the eye could see, there was no end in sight.
In Wucheng, Zhao Jun had Li Mu as the commander-in-chief and Sima Shang as the deputy.
Both of them looked solemn, looking at the Qin army's array, the murderous intent conveyed by them was shocking.
The Qin army's military power was stronger than they expected. This is related to the Qin people's increasing national fortunes in recent years, and they are invincible in every battle.
The Qin army has developed an invincible spirit that looks down upon the world.
However, Pang Nuan's death also completely inspired the bravery of the Zhao soldiers.
Although the Qin army was strong, the Zhao army had no fear.
"This battle is not only for our great Zhao and the death of General Pang, but also for all Zhao people. The Qin people have bullied our great Zhao too much."
"Li Shuai, the last general invites you to fight."
"We are all willing to fight to the death and will defeat the Qin army!"
The Zhao army did not huddle inside the city. There were tens of thousands of Zhao soldiers in the open area with their backs to Wucheng. They were neatly arrayed and fought against the Qin army.
Both armies are waving their flags, and the battle is about to begin.
"kill!"
A general of the Zhao army suddenly rushed out on horseback and yelled: "For my great Zhao, repel the violent Qin!"
However, at the moment when the Zhao army was full of murderous intent and the whole army was preparing to press forward.
Behind the Qin army, a wooden boat more than ten feet long flew into the air.
On that boat, the incantation carved by the Yellow Emperor himself flashed.
Li Mu glanced at the people standing on the boat from a distance, and instantly felt a chill coming from the bottom of his heart.
On the boat, stood a middle-aged man, but he was the son of Pang Nuan, who was supposed to die.
The smaller half of his face was burned by the flames, and the scars were hideous.
When the news of Pang Nuan's death spread back to Handan, Li Mu became suspicious.
However, the Qin army subsequently attacked Zhao, and it was impossible to conduct a thorough investigation during the emergency period.
At this time, Li Mu's heart sank when he saw Pang Nuan's son ascending from the rear of the Qin army's camp.
The confrontation between the two armies is also a game and confrontation in the heart.
Whichever side has the mental advantage will be able to gain greater morale and gain greater fruits of victory.
Why did Pang Nuan's son appear behind the Qin army?
When they issued an appeal to Qin before, the Qin people did not refute a single word. They were just waiting for the moment of confrontation before the war to destroy the morale of our army in one fell swoop... Li Mu's mind was racing, and he had already thought of the truth of something.
Just when he guessed what the Qin people were going to do, Pang Nuan's son, who was carried by the emperor's boat and appeared out of nowhere, suddenly burst into tears and knelt on the bow of the boat in front of the two armies.
There was also a coffin on the boat.
It goes without saying that among them is Pang Nuan's body.
"I am the son of Pang Nuan, Pang Yi...my father died in old age, and after we returned to Ling County, we were attacked and killed. The murderer was me, Zhao Ren.
My father was also killed by my Zhao people, and the murderer... is the current King of Zhao."
Pang Yi's words were like thunder striking on the heads of tens of thousands of Zhao soldiers, and everyone's eyes turned black.
Among the Zhao army, a general stood up and shouted: "This is the plan of the Qin people. How can our Zhao army be fooled?"
How can we prove that this is really the son of General Pang and not arranged by the Qin people?!"
"Jing Ji, you once served as the vanguard deputy general under my father. The year before last, you came to my house and I had a drink with you.
Three months ago, you came to my house to report the military situation, and I went out to see you off... A few days ago, my father passed away, and you also came to see me off and the Pang family. You once said that you would pay me a visit when we settled down. …
If I don’t know these things, can it possibly prove my identity?”
Pang Nuan's son stood on the human emperor's boat, standing in mid-air between the two armies, sobbing uncontrollably.
General Zhao who spoke just now was speechless and looked dull.
Obviously, the middle-aged man on the Human Emperor's boat is indeed Pang Nuan's son.
Pang Nuan wanted to go to Chu to invite Lian Po, so he traveled quickly and passed by the border of Wei and Qin. Ye Yufu was aware of it.
That's why Yu Gui appeared and took away Pang Nuan's body.
After that, Fan Qingzhou considered that Pang Nuan's family might also be attacked, so spies from Ye Yufu rushed to Ling County, rescued Pang Yi in time, and replaced it with a corpse, disguised as Pang Yi's remains.
