The war between Qin and Qi.
Li Mu's troops retreated from the Yan area after pursuing Prince Dan, and sent their troops southward via Jicheng, the former capital of the Yan people, forming a third line of troops to attack Qi.
The Qin army marching eastward from the west was led by Lian Po.
On the south road, Wang Jian is the commander.
In addition, Meng Ao was responsible for the follow-up settlement of the attack on Yan and other matters.
In this case, the Qin army attacked in three directions and attacked Qi with all its strength.
Of the three armies, Wang Jian had the largest number, with 170,000 elite troops. Lian Po and Li Mu each commanded between 100 and 150,000 troops, totaling 450,000 Qin troops...
The three routes were deployed concurrently, giving full play to Qin's advantage of having many soldiers and generals at this time.
Previously, Tian Dan felt extremely strenuous from having to deal with Wang Jian and Lian Po at the same time. He stayed up all night and was stretched thin in deploying troops and generals.
When Li Mu again led his troops to join in, with Tian Dan's talents, he also began to attack left and right, struggling to cope with the situation.
Zhao Huaizhong gave the three generals a high degree of freedom and trust, allowing them to perform freely.
Therefore, all three groups regard themselves as the main force.
Subtly, the three of them are also competing with each other, wanting to be the first to break through.
Linzi.
In Tian Dan's mansion, he was watching the battle report he had just received.
The Qi people's battle situation, which was originally barely able to remain undefeated, was already in danger.
Battle report: November 28th.
Wen Qi, the general of the Qi army's northern route, fell into Li Mu's plan of luring the enemy. When he was on the march, he was ambushed by the Qin army. His retreat was cut off, and more than 6,000 Qi troops were beheaded!
In the afternoon of the next day, Lian Po captured a border city on the west road of the Qi army, and lost nearly 4,000 generals.
Compared with Li Mu and Lian Po, the Qin veteran general Wang Jian, who knew the Qin army better, made full use of the Qin army's military strength.
When the Qin army under his command was advancing north, they suddenly turned eastward, with the purpose of encircling them in one fell swoop and cutting off the retreat of the 60,000 elite troops of Qi who had entered Chu.
What worries Tian Dan is Lian Po and Li Mu's battlefield sense.
As soon as Wang Jian changed direction and marched eastward, Lian Po and Li Mu immediately pushed their troops forward, increasing the pressure on the Qi people. They were thousands of miles away from Wang Jian, forming an exquisite coordination.
In early December, the Qi army was forced to retreat and began to shrink its defenses.
The Qi army that had entered Chu before, before Wang Jian actually completed the encirclement, took the initiative to withdraw from Chu and fully returned to defend Qi.
In this way, the dozens of cities that Qi had previously captured from Chu were spit out again and all returned to Qin.
Qi people tightened their defense lines and temporarily stabilized the decline.
Xianyang.
Zhao Huaizhong was reading the battle reports sent back from the front line. In addition to the good news from Wang Jian's southern route, Lian Po and Li Mu also entered the country.
The Qin army's advantage gradually grew.
The study was very quiet. After Xin Wu became the deputy commander of the Dragon Armor Forbidden Army, the guards around him were withdrawn by Zhao Huaizhong, and they followed Xin Wu and were incorporated into the Dragon Armor Forbidden Army.
At his current level, the guards are just decorations, so he simply withdraws them and has a higher degree of freedom.
Liu Qi was waiting outside the door to hear the announcement. In the study, there was only Bao Si sitting on his knees beside a low mat, helping Zhao Huaizhong organize the finished memorials on the desk.
It's afternoon time and the day's work is over.
Zhao Huaizhong had quite some time and looked at the secretary.
Bao Si likes to wear a white dress, with a palm-wide jade-colored apron tied around her slender and flexible willow waist. The top and bottom are round and plump, with an attractive figure.
Under the skirt, slightly shapely calves are exposed, with delicate ankles and delicate bare feet.
Sensing Zhao Huaizhong's gaze, the little secretary's neck and ears slowly turned red, her eyes with thick eyelashes raised, and she secretly glanced at Zhao Huaizhong.
"How have you been practicing lately?"
"It's okay." Bao Si whispered back.
"Are you being perfunctory by saying it's okay every time you ask?" Zhao Huaizhong frowned slightly.
The ghost secretary was timid and frightened, and stammered: "It's just not bad. I'm afraid the king will be unhappy if I say it's slow in practice. Compared with the king, it's not really fast, so I can only say it's not bad.
Don’t be upset, Your Majesty.”
In terms of time, Bao Si is hundreds of years old, but most of the time she was imprisoned in the formation and slept, her mental age has stagnated, and she is no different from a young girl.
Well, there are hundreds of years old girls who wake up in a world with no acquaintance around them.
She probably has a different kind of dependence on Zhao Huaizhong, which includes family, friendship and love.
Zhao Huaizhong's feigned anger was just a joke.
Bao Si's cultivation speed was extremely fast. In less than two years, he had entered the holy realm, second only to Zhao Huaizhong.
"What are your plans for the future?"
"I don't know, I listen to your Majesty." Bao Si lowered her neck and replied softly.
"I sold you and you still listened to me?"
Bao Si quickly raised his head, looked at Zhao Huaizhong, and rested his chin on the deep valley in the middle of the mountain peak again: "Your Majesty will not sell Bao Si."
"Oh, you still have to rely on me." Zhao Huaizhong teased.
Baosi nodded: "How about I become your concubine? Many people used to say that I am good-looking."
"I don't want it."
Bao Si fell into silence with some sadness. Her confession was rejected in person, and her heart was shocked. She also stopped arranging the memorial, put her hands down to pinch the corners of her skirt, and lowered her head.
Zhao Huaizhong smiled: "You practice hard, and when you reach the realm of saints, you will think about it.
The cultivation method of the Yinnu Sect is that you cannot break your body at least until you reach the saint level, otherwise your practice will be in vain, have you forgotten?"
"oh!"
Bao Si became happy again and raised her head, with a bright smile on her face that brought disaster to the country and the people, "Then I will go back to the painting to practice now?"
When Zhao Huaizhong agreed, she stood up in small steps and ran into the space in the painting on the side with her hips swaying.
Lieutenant General Zhao Huai took the scroll back into the small gourd.
The new male gourd he got was tied under the original small gourd, and he carried two gourds side by side.
The new gourd is currently used to hold a few immortal weapons that I carry with me.
The original small gourd would have been difficult to load several pieces of immortal weapons, especially with the thick ground hammer, it seemed as if a huge mountain had been put into the gourd, which was so full that it could hardly bear its weight.
Just got a new gourd.
After leaving Xianyang Palace, Zhao Huaizhong left the city and came to the Ministry of Creation.
There has also been progress in the study of origin texts, and new ordnance has been derived from this, which can be used to equip the Qin army for attacking Qi.
In the evening, Zhao Huaizhong returned to Xianyang Palace.
After turning over the Queen's sign, the old couple returned to Wuying Palace to study a wave of new knowledge.
Time passes.
In December, the temperature dropped sharply.
After Tian Dan reduced his troops, he rearranged his troops and deployed his generals.
The generals of the Qi army successively received orders from the King of Qi and Tian Dan and rushed to the three battlefields.
Tiger General Yan Ji is one of them.
Yan Ji was originally a hunter. When he was twelve years old, he went into the mountains and encountered a pack of wolves. He tore the wild wolf with his hands, drank its blood and scared the pack away.
Tian Dan heard of his name and asked people to look for him and train him. Yan Ji became more and more brave as an adult, and was sent to Jixia to learn various kinds of cultivation. He joined the Qi army at the age of twenty-one.
He was loyal to Tian Dan, and his personal bravery ranked first among the three armies.
At this time, he commanded 20,000 elite Qi people, and in cooperation with Cao Qing, the Jixia instructor holding the Academy Sword, he rushed to the western front of the Qi border to carry out Tian Dan's order.
Among the three Qin troops, Lian Po was the oldest and seemed easy to bully, so Tian Dan decided to use him as a breakthrough.
