Chapter 342: Step Out of the House and Make Room (10,000 Words, Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket)

The newly appointed King Zhao Yan found himself with four happy things.

In one word, awesome!

It was really awesome.

Not only did he inherit the throne as he wished, but he also took back the military power of the main force of Zhao State from Lian Po; in addition, Song Ji also introduced four sisters into the palace, which made him enjoy unprecedented pleasure; and Wei State was willing to ask Zhao State to send troops with Yecheng and other places as a thank you gift.

This time, he not only completely consolidated the throne and enjoyed more beauties, but also gained international recognition all of a sudden, and his international status has greatly improved.

From today on, this king is also an international policeman!

The only two things that made him unhappy were Lian Po's rebellion and Li Mu and others' opposition to making Song Ji the queen.

When Lian Po learned that Zhao Yan replaced him with Wuxiang Jun Le Cheng, he was furious and led his personal soldiers to attack Wuxiang Jun Le Cheng, but accidentally killed Le Cheng!

In fact, Lian Po only defeated Le Cheng badly. Le Cheng was slightly injured and fled with a few guards. Lian Po did not intend to kill Le Cheng.

But someone wanted Le Cheng to die.

On the way to escape, Le Cheng met assassins led by Hei Bai Xuan Jian.

Hei Bai Xuan Jian was able to exert the combat power of the first myth level three. Among the assassins who were born from mutants around him, one named Jin Mu and one named You Ma also reached the second myth level. In addition, there were a large number of assassins of the first myth level to assist; and the people around Le Cheng were not only not enough to form a military formation, but almost everyone was injured, so naturally they could only die on the spot.

The blame for Le Cheng's tragic death was naturally put on Lian Po's head.

After confirming that Lian Po had gone far away, Hei Bai Xuan Jian was very considerate to clean up all the dead with other marks on their bodies, and beheaded Le Cheng. Next to the other Le Cheng family generals killed by Lian Po, he set up a pole and hung Le Cheng's head on it, disguising himself as Lian Po said.

Disobeying military orders, wantonly abusing power, killing angels... These charges are enough to kill Lian Po ten times.

The king of Zhao State absolutely cannot tolerate such provocation, and the Le family cannot let go of such deep hatred. You know, the Le family not only lost the head of the family, Le Cheng, but also a large number of family sons, almost every family had to wear mourning!

Zhao Yan, who was extremely dissatisfied with Lian Po's tyranny, sent Le Jian to arrest Lian Po's family members and ask for punishment.

Obviously, Zhao Yan was going to kill Lian Po.

In fact, if Le Cheng didn't die, Zhao Yan would definitely leave room for him, but Le Cheng's death was a slap in the face of him, the King of Zhao, and even more so a slap in the face of Zhao State.

Zhao Yan was also forced into a corner.

Le Jian immediately took his uncle Le Cheng's son, that is, his cousin, to Lian Po's fiefdom, and then killed Lian Po's main clan in the name of Lian Po's family's resistance.

Because all this happened too quickly, many war agents failed to react, and only a few branches of Lian Po's family were rescued in the end.

During the whole process of the Lian family's suffering, Li Ru, the initiator, did not take action.

In fact, if Li Ru took action, he could have rescued several of Lian Po's relatives by virtue of the time difference in intelligence, but in this way, when Lian Po met his relatives one day, would he suspect that all this was planned by Dayu and Li Ru?

Here, in fact, the difference between Li Ru and his advisers can be seen. Li Ru is really cruel.

Li Ru must kill Le Cheng in order to force Lian Po's family to death. Only when Lian Po's family died, Lian Po would have endless hatred for Zhao State, and it would be possible for him to be loyal to a monarch who was willing to help him avenge and return to his heart because of hatred; only then would he be willing to marry and have children for the continuation of his family!

In terms of cruelty, Li Ru is actually far better than Song Jiang and Wu Yong, but Li Ru is much smarter than Song Jiang and Wu Yong. He would do it without leaving any trace, instead of killing the whole family of a person and then asking them to surrender like Song Jiang and Wu Yong did; this world is not a Liangshan hero where everyone is loyal and loyal even if their whole family is killed.

In short, Li Ru is vicious and tight-lipped. He will not let any extra insiders know the true situation, not even Dong Huang.

Because Dayu did not rescue Lian Po's family, there is naturally no possibility of threatening or showing goodwill to Lian Po with Lian Po's family. In Lian Po's case, it can be ruled out that he got the news in advance and made arrangements, or even was the initiator.

In the future, if Lian Po learns of Le Cheng's death and suspects that there is another conspiracy behind Le Cheng and his family's death, he will not suspect Li Ru or Dayu, who has never shown up, but those who are smart enough to save some of Lian Po's family branches.

- Even if he does not suspect it at this time, he will suspect it if someone provokes him in the future.

And once Lian Po returns to his loyalty in the future and learns the secret of the war agent, this suspicion will only become greater.

Li Ru spent so much effort and went through so many circles, in fact, he has already taken into account the reaction of Lian Po if he returns to his loyalty and learns the secret of the war agent.

As for where Lian Po will go after escaping, Li Ru is not worried.

As far as the current situation is concerned, Lian Po's only choice is Qi.

In the current Kyushu, Yan is almost destroyed, so there is no need to consider it;

Han is small in size and is under the military attack of Qin. The country is small and the people are weak. There is no room for Lian Po to play, and it is not within Lian Po's consideration;

Qin and Lian Po had a deep hatred. Lian Po, who had resisted Qin for most of his life, would not surrender to Qin even if it was out of habit and instinct before he got the news that his family was killed. After getting the news that his family was killed, he might even suspect that this was a counter-espionage plot by Qin.

As for Wei, in history, after Lian Po defeated Le Cheng, he first surrendered to Wei and stayed in Wei for a long time. Seeing that he was not trusted and framed by Guo Kai, he lost the opportunity to return to Zhao, so he went to Chu. Lian Po did not make any contributions in Chu and finally died in Shouchun. However, Wei in this time and space is now being besieged by Qin and Qi. How could he go to die? Lian Po wanted to make a name for himself as a famous general, not a fool to go to die.

If he went to Yu, he would have to pass through Qi, but the crossing was not so easy, and who knew what the state of Yu was like? Lian Po would naturally not take risks easily.

Therefore, Lian Po's best and only choice now is to go to Qi.

If Lian Po goes to Qi, Dayu will naturally find a way to get him to Dayu, and all of this will be reasonable and will not leave any handle.

At this stage, Dayu has not taken any action on Lian Po's affairs, which just shows that Dayu is not aware of Lian Po's affairs; after Lian Po goes to Qi, Dayu will take action again, which shows Dayu's thirst for talents.

It can be said that Li Ru has calculated everything.

Poor Lian Po could never have imagined that Li Ru would do this to calculate him and to get a chance to conquer him.

Although Song Ji's move was very useful in other times besides dealing with Lian Po, it undoubtedly made a good start on Lian Po.

After the passionate killing, Lian Po, as Li Ru expected, went to Qi with his confidant.

Lian Po had thought it through. When he arrived in Qi, he would persuade the King of Qi to first form an alliance with Qin, jointly destroy Zhao, and divide the land of Yan and Zhao; then form an alliance with Yu to jointly resist Qin.

As for whether Qi was so easy to persuade, he did not think about it carefully.

In fact, Lian Po could not figure it out.

He was not a diplomat, so he did not know how to persuade people.

The second thing that Zhao Yan was unhappy about was both a relief and an anger.

Zhao Yan was obsessed with Song Ji and was a little worried about public opinion, so some people opposed him to make Song Ji the queen, which originally made him feel relieved and gave him an excuse to explain to Song Ji, but the problem was that the one who took the lead in opposing him was Li Mu, a general in the army!

What are you, a soldier, getting involved in?

The more ancient it was, the more the people in power did not like the military to interfere in politics, because you could never judge whether the other party's views were personal views or based on the threat of the army under their command!

Especially Li Mu, a fierce man who trained 200,000 elite soldiers!

Zhao Yan must take his words seriously, but he must be extremely unhappy in his heart.

Zhao Yan even speculated with the greatest malice that Li Mu felt that he had become the first military general of Zhao State after seeing Lian Po's betrayal, so he was arrogant.

It was precisely because soldiers like Li Mu took the lead in opposing that Zhao Yan wanted to push this matter forward.

The more you oppose, the more it shows that I did the right thing!

This is not a dispute of will, but he, the new monarch, must be able to suppress military generals like Li Mu.

The dispute over great etiquette is not a dispute of will.

The monarch is strong and the ministers are weak, and the monarch is weak and the ministers are strong. On the contrary, Tiangang is fatal.

For the monarch, right and wrong are not important.

Zhao Yan decided to make Song Ji his concubine.

However, in order to minimize the negative impact to the greatest extent, Zhao Yan decided not to directly take his father's concubine, but let Song Ji go home and become a commoner, and he remarried Song Ji and Song Ji's sisters.

It sounds like taking off pants to fart, but legally, Zhao Yan is no longer marrying his father's concubine, but marrying a commoner woman, at least there is a reasonable fig leaf.

It's the same as Li Zhi marrying Wu Zetian, who was a nun.

I gave you face, I also made concessions, if you don't have eyes at this time, don't blame me for being rude.

Li Mu didn't dare to object at this time.

Even if Li Mu was politically savvy, he understood at this time that Zhao Yan had made the biggest concession, and whoever opposed it would be courting death.

However, what Zhao Yan didn't expect was that after he asked Song Ji to go back to her parents' home first, it was not his real parents who greeted Song Ji, but the men of the vicious tracheitis Li Ru.

Song Ji, who was getting deeper and deeper into trouble, could only pretend that these were all her relatives, and slept with her "mother" at night. The external statement was naturally that the mother and daughter were in touch with each other.

However, the one who really connected with her was Li Ru.

"You, you let me go, I, I'll call for help!"

Song Ji was about to cry.

As soon as she entered the room, she was hugged by a strange middle-aged man. Although this middle-aged man looked good and was much stronger than the two kings of Zhao, she was the woman who was going to be the queen!

Song Ji struggled hard.

But how could Li Ru let her go?

"Call for help? Aren't you afraid of your own disgrace? Aren't you worried about the safety of your family? Don't you want to be your queen?"

Li Ru smiled and pulled off Song Ji's belt and threw Song Ji on the bed.

"You...you promised me..."

Song Ji was weak, pitiful and helpless.

She looked at Li Ru with tears in her eyes.

She was afraid, not because she was afraid of being played with, but because she was afraid that Zhao Wangyan would see the clues.

But once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. From the moment she was seduced and coerced by Li Ru, she was destined to have no room for regret.

"Don't worry, as long as you get pregnant with my child and let our child become the next King of Zhao, then you will be the most powerful woman in Zhao!"

Li Ru laughed and grabbed one of Song Ji's feet, pulled her over, and slowly pressed her jade legs forward in Song Ji's weak resistance...

Li Ru had the habit of secretly raising concubines outside in the Song, Liao, Jin and Xia worlds, but it was the first time to play with a queen.

Of course, Li Ru dared to play with this queen purely because he knew that Dong Huang had no interest in this kind of woman who had no name in history and was inherited by her father; what's more, he played with this woman not for the pleasure of the moment, but for Dayu!

The various operations of the war agents to give birth to children by surrogacy reminded Li Ru, making Li Ru realize that he could also have a surrogacy by surrogacy! Let Song Ji, the future queen, get pregnant with his child until she gives birth to his son, then kill Zhao Yan and let his son become the King of Zhao. He will then use Song Ji to control the court of Zhao.

At that time, he can do all kinds of tricks.

If the operation is done properly, maybe Li Mu can be forced to the Dayu camp!

Li Mu is a very awesome person. Not only is he awesome, but his descendants in history are also very awesome. His grandson Li Zuoche was a first-class counselor in the late Qin and Chu-Han dynasties. He offered advice to Han Xin to help pacify Yan and Qi. He was very famous and was revered as the God of Hail. The Zhaojun Li family, one of the five surnames and seven families, is his descendant. In the Tang Dynasty, nine prime ministers were born, and in the Song Dynasty, there was also a prime minister.

Li Mu is actually far more suitable for having children than Gao Shun and Lian Po.

It may not be as valuable to tie up ten Gao Shuns and Lian Pos to give birth to monkeys as to tie up one Li Mu to give birth to monkeys.

It is worth mentioning that among the four famous generals of the Warring States Period, the descendants of Wang Jian and Li Mu are very good. Wang Jian is the ancestor of the Wang family of Taiyuan and the Wang family of Langya; Li Mu is the ancestor of the Li family of Zhaojun. The two famous generals who wanted to kill each other, their descendants eventually became allies and intermarried many times. It can only be said that fate is playing tricks on people.

In addition, Li Ru's ancestors in another time and space are actually related to Li Mu's family, but not just Li Mu's branch.

Back to the point, let alone different worlds, even if it is the same world, Li Ru will not be polite to those who have different dreams from him.

Li Ru has good intentions on the hidden front for Dong Huang's great cause.

Under Li Ru's careful planning, Zhao Yan, who didn't know how green he was, finally got his wish and married Song Ji and her four sisters.

And until she got married, Song Ji was forced to serve Li Ru in wedding clothes, and entered the wedding room with the several hundred million dowry given to her by Li Ru.

During the whole process, although Song Ji stepped out of the house, Li Ru did not make room for King Zhao.

Under the influence of various factors, Song Ji finally got her wish and became the queen, but her heart was hanging even more.

Song Ji had realized the horror of Li Ru, that he was a ruthless bastard with no bottom line, but she had fallen deeper and deeper and dared not resist at all; not only did she not dare to resist, she had to cooperate with the other party to pretend that she really had four sisters, so that they could use drugs and incense to gradually control Zhao Yan and make Zhao Yan more addicted; she had to secretly serve Li Ru with four people and strive to get pregnant with Li Ru's child.

She even had to compete with four women for the first child to get pregnant with Li Ru, and it had to be a boy, so that she could be made the prince.

Only if she had Li Ru's son and was made the prince, she would not have to worry about being killed by Li Ru.

However, what Song Ji did not know was that for Li Ru, even if she gave birth to a son for Li Ru, Li Ru would not feel the slightest guilt if he wanted to kill her.

Li Ru is not Dong Huang. In Li Ru's eyes, tools are just tools.

Song Ji was not aware of this, but tried her best to win favor. However, she was very nervous to find that she was no match for the four women in this aspect.

What Song Ji did not know was that the true identity of these four people was the experienced courtesans in Dayu Jiaofangsi.

Dong Huang did not allow the people who returned to the country to be sold to Jiaofangsi or other similar institutions, nor did he agree to let the women who returned to the country become spies to sell their bodies to obtain intelligence.

This was Dong Huang's insistence.

But Li Ru did not have the nationalist plot like Dong Huang.

Not only Li Ru, but even Jia Xu felt that Dong Huang was a bit womanly.

For people like Jia Xu and Li Ru, Dayu was not important at all. They were loyal to Dong Huang as a person. As for the country of Dayu, it was just a symbol parasitic on Dong Huang.

They didn't care much about Dayu, let alone the hundreds of millions of women.

However, Jia Xu did not need to care about these things, and Li Ru would not confront Dong Huang head-on, but would play around with them.

Is it okay for me to secretly train the women of the Jiaofangsi?

Is it okay for me to secretly train the natives?

Anyway, I will not touch the red line, and Dong Huang will not care about the rest with his decentralization character.

Li Ru's idea was supported by Dong Hui, Dong Yi, Chen Diao, Zhao Song and Jingshan, the top leaders of the Bai Ze Di Ting organization.

These people, especially the sisters Dong Hui and Dong Yi, take women the least seriously. In their view, what kind of people are they? Shouldn't they be tools to give everything for His Majesty?

It is their blessing to be able to give everything for Dong Huang.

But they would not take the initiative to disobey Dong Huang, but also play the edge.

Friends who often watch the edge female anchors know that playing the edge is a test of ability and skills. If you play less, it is no different from not playing, and naturally there will be no traffic, rich men, and gifts; if you play too much, it is easy to be blocked; those who seem to be playing the edge, and they look normal in their outfits and normal dances without bad orientation, but in fact they are advanced at a glance and can fly across the country, are the best.

And those who have just started live broadcasting and have no big guys to give gifts are the easiest to make an appointment.

After the appointment, not only can you play the edge, but you can also play the edge.

There are even some who are asked to be sold.

Let's get back to the point. Li Ru has a lot of special talents under his command, and there are even more women.

Several specially trained women easily fascinated Zhao Yan and made him weak.

This made some war agents of Zhao State anxious, and they also wanted to send women.

Sending women can stabilize the relationship!

With Zhao Yan's character, maybe the son born by him and the female attendant of the war agent can become the next King of Zhao!

Lian Po fled, Le Cheng died, and Lian Po's family was destroyed, which caused great losses to the war agents of Zhao. Many people's investments were wasted, but it was not a big problem. Zhao still had Li Mu and the famous ministers and generals under the command of these war agents!

Even if Qin came, they were not afraid, and the longer it took, the less afraid they were.

They were confident that they could develop a unique military formation, form elite legions, and compete with Qin in the future.

These war agents who were deeply integrated with Zhao felt that they were unprecedentedly powerful.

What they were thinking about now was a longer-term layout, such as turning the next King of Zhao into theirs.

This point was the same as Li Ru's idea.

However, with Li Ru's overtaking on the curve, they were destined to be losers-Song Ji and other women were pregnant!

The child they were pregnant with was naturally Li Ru's, because every time they had fun with Zhao Wangyan, they had to use drugs to clean up under the supervision of the other four people.

Only after being desecrated by Li Ru could they not be cleaned up.

The pregnancy of Song Ji and others made Zhao Wangyan feel that he was blessed.

It happened that Zhao Wangxie was also overdrawn recently, so he began to care about political affairs strategically.

Although the Zhao army was uneasy because of Lian Po's attack on Lecheng and the extermination of Lian Po's family, Zhao Wang still decided to send troops to help Wei.

Zhao Wang called the generals Pang Nuan, Lejian, Hu Zhe, Fu Di, Qing She, Zhao Cong, Yan Ju and others to discuss.

The above people are all the most important generals in Zhao State. Except for Pang Nuan and Lejian, they are all the real confidants of Zhao Wang.

For example, Hu Zhe and Zhao Cong have always been the generals of the most elite cavalry and archery corps of Zhao State. The core of Li Mu's current 200,000-strong flying general corps was also the 50,000-strong cavalry and archery corps stationed on the border at the beginning; Fu Di, Qing She, Yan Ju and others are the generals of the elite infantry corps and the chariot corps.

Among them, Fu Di and Qing She are still old people in Zhao Yan's palace.

As for Pang Nuan and Le Jian, the trust of King Zhao in them is between yes and no, but after all, they are the talents of great generals or descendants of famous generals, and their abilities are still very strong.

The reason why Li Mu was not called was because Li Mu was sent by Zhao Yan to fight against the northern foreign tribes. The foreign tribes in the north are not only the Xiongnu, but also Loufan, Donghu, Linhu, etc., and there is Yan State further away. Li Mu, you can go to the north to play first.

In fact, during the reign of Zhao Yan in history, facing the attack of Qin State, Li Mu had almost no opportunity to show his ability, and was not even as important as Pang Nuan. Li Mu was always pressed on the border, and at most he fought against Yan State. It was not until Zhao Yan's son Zhao Qian succeeded to the throne and General Hu Zhe was defeated and killed by Qin General Huan Ji, after 100,000 people were beheaded, that Li Mu was forced to be transferred back.

Li Mu was not very trusted. In addition to his character and his opposition to Zhao Wang Yan's taking his father's woman as a concubine, there may be a more important reason - Li Mu was from Qin.

Li Mu's grandfather was Qin Si Tu Li Tan. Li Tan's second son, Li Ji, who was also Li Mu's biological father, was Qin's Taifu. Li Ji had three sons: Li Yun, Li Mu, and Li Qi. Since Li Mu, this branch of the Li family settled in Zhao County.

Li Mu's grandfather Li Tan also had an eldest son named Li Chong. That's right, he was Li Chong, the prefect of Longxi in Qin. Li Chong was Li Xin's biological grandfather and Li Mu's biological uncle! In terms of seniority, Li Xin of Qin had to call Li Mu of Zhao his uncle, and he was an uncle within the fifth degree of mourning.

Today, Li Chong is still serving as a deputy general in Meng Ao's army.

So, how can you let Zhao use Li Mu?

It is difficult for the King of Zhao, especially in this war against Qin. Li Mu should go wherever he wants.

It is precisely because of this relationship that Zhao sent Li Mu to Qin in history; it was not willing to believe Li Mu's loyalty when the country was about to be destroyed, but would rather believe that Li Mu was ready to surrender to Qin.

There is no way, Li Mu's background is too Qin.

Many war agents do not know Li Mu's family background, and always complain about Li Mu, but in fact, the King of Zhao is not necessarily really stupid, and he must not use the famous general, but he really has no other way.

It is naturally no problem to use Li Mu, a Qin man, to fight against the northern foreign races, but if he is used to fight Qin, it is inevitable that people will hesitate.

Because of the previous experience of Lian Po, everyone in the military meeting agreed with King Zhao Yan's plan to save Wei.

"If we can take this opportunity to contact Han, Yu and other countries to send troops and cut off Meng Ao's troops, we may be able to encircle and annihilate Meng Ao's troops in Daliang! Once Meng Ao's troops are destroyed, our Great Zhao may be able to take advantage of the situation to recover the territory occupied by Qin!"

Pang Nuan said.

He saw the biggest problem of Meng Ao's troops at a glance - they actually attacked Wei without destroying Han, which was closer to Qin. This could easily be cut off by Han.

"At the very least, we can conquer Yewang and other places, right? Moreover, this is actually a good opportunity to attack Qi. Even if we cannot completely annihilate Meng Ao's troops, our country can also contact Wei, Yu and other countries to take advantage of the situation to attack Qi. Qi's move has angered Wei, and Yu is probably also very interested in Huaibei and other places that originally belonged to Chu, right?"

Le Jian also proposed a way out.

Le Jian's proposal immediately made Zhao Wangyan's eyes light up.

As a king, he was certainly not satisfied with sharing Yan with Qi. If he could take advantage of the situation to attack Qi, seize the land of Yan occupied by Qi and even all the land of Qi north of the Yellow River, it has always been his ambition.

In fact, it was not only the King of Qi who was arrogant because of the rapid expansion of his territory, but also King Yan of Zhao.

"Qi still took in the thief Lian Po! Sooner or later, we will attack Qi!"

King Yan of Zhao said confidently.

The retreat route was ready, and King Yan of Zhao finally decided to attack Qin.

King Yan of Zhao appointed Pang Nuan, who had a good reputation among the princes, as the main general, and Hu Zhe, the general who had followed the famous general Lian Po in battle for many years, and Le Jian, the son of Le Yi, as deputy generals, and led an army of 300,000 to the south, and then was stopped by Li Chong at the line of Yewang.

Meng Ao would not make the fatal mistake of ignoring the retreat. Meng Ao knew very well that as long as the Yellow River line was blocked, Zhao would be helpless.

Seeing that the Qin army was indeed prepared, Pang Nuan left Hu Zhe to confront Li Chong, and led the army to attack Qi quietly. He unexpectedly attacked Rao'an (now southwest of Yanshan, Hebei) in Qi. At that time, Rao'an was located south of the Yellow River and was an important hub connecting the core area of ​​Qi and the newly acquired land of Yan.

After Rao'an was taken, the Zhao army could threaten the capital of Qi, Linzi, and retreat to attack the land of Yan occupied by Qi. The situation suddenly became extremely unfavorable for Qi.

Zhao used the "encircle Wei to save Zhao" strategy invented by Qi to encircle Qi and rescue Wei. It was a black humor that made people laugh and cry.

While the news of Pang Nuan's attack on Qi was still brewing, Qi also encountered setbacks on another battlefield.

Yongqiu.

After Qi's commander Tian Zhang easily defeated the Yongqiu defenders, he met Wei Liao's troops who came to help.

Tian Zhang used Qi's martial arts warriors as the vanguard and fought against Wei Liao's troops, winning all three battles.

Tian Zhang, who had won a series of victories, aimed at Wei Liao's army, the last field army of Wei State, and launched a crazy pursuit.

In Tian Zhang's view, as long as Wei Liao's army was completely defeated, the southern territory of Wei State would undoubtedly fall into the hands of Qi State, and he would become a great contributor to Qi State.

The fact was just as Tian Zhang thought. The Qi army was invincible. Not only did Wei Liao's army dare not fight again, but the cities along the way also opened their cities and surrendered.

Tian Zhang was overjoyed. On the one hand, he divided his troops to capture and occupy Chengkuang, Shou, Yu, Yangxia and other places south of Yongqiu, and on the other hand, he chased Wei Liao's army relentlessly, and this pursuit crossed the Honggou.

The Honggou is the earliest artificial canal in ancient China that connects the Yellow River and the Huai River. It draws water from the Yellow River from Xingyang in the west, turns southeast through Daliangcheng to Chendu, and flows southward into the Yingshui River, successfully connecting the main rivers between the Yellow River and the Huai River, such as Ji, Pu, Bian, Sui, Ying, Wo, Ru, Si, and He, forming the Honggou water system.

At the same time, because the Huai River flows through the Han Canal and the Yangtze River system, the Honggou can be regarded as connecting the Yangtze River system to some extent.

The boundary between Chu and Han in chess also refers to the Honggou.

As soon as Tian Zhang's army crossed the Honggou, they realized that the situation was not good.

Although the Wei Liao army did not attack them halfway across the river, a large number of enemy troops appeared on the opposite side. The main force of the enemy army was wearing flaming red armor, which was the famous Blood Clothes Army.

"What does Han mean?"

Seeing that the Han army did not take the initiative to attack, Tian Zhang could not help but want to send someone to negotiate. Unexpectedly, at this time, a shout of killing came from the rear.

Tian Zhang stood on a high place and looked back in panic, but found that a group of elite cavalry came out from nowhere and directly broke through his rear army, not only burning baggage, but also burning bridges.

(The blue arrow is the direction of Wei Liao's retreat to lure the enemy, the crimson arrow is the direction of Huang Zhong's troops, and the crimson arrow on the far left is the direction of Xiahou Yuan's troops)

"It's a trap!"

Tian Zhang was shocked.

Such elite cavalry, naturally, only the State of Yu had them. Obviously, the State of Wei, the State of Han, and the State of Yu had been linked together at some point, and the State of Wei had volunteered to be the bait.

What should we do?

Tian Zhang was extremely panicked when he saw his elite troops being divided.

He wanted to retreat, but with the current water level of the Honggou, it was possible to abandon the chariots and armor and cross the river, but it was absolutely impossible to cross the river with these; but if the chariots and armor were abandoned, what would be the use of crossing the river?

[Let's fight! ]

Tian Zhang gritted his teeth and encouraged his subordinates loudly: "Soldiers, there is the Honggou behind us, and there is no way to retreat. Moreover, the food and supplies are all in the rear and have been burned. If we want to survive, the only way now is to fight with our backs to the water, defeat the Han army in front head-on, and seize their food and supplies. There is only a glimmer of hope! Soldiers, charge!"

Tian Zhang's words undoubtedly inspired the last bit of courage of the Qi army.

Looking at the Qi army soldiers rushing over, Guo Jia and Wei Liao, the master and apprentice, smiled.

Want to fight a decisive battle?

Only a fool would fight a decisive battle with you at this time!

The Han-Wei coalition retreated in an orderly manner.

It was not until then that Tian Zhang discovered that there were actually camps behind the Han-Wei coalition.

Obviously, the Han-Wei coalition had been prepared for a long time, and it was not hastily set up an ambush.

Tian Zhang's heart sank to the bottom of the valley.

Tian Zhang subconsciously looked around, and as expected, in the three directions outside the Honggou of the Qi army, the Han-Wei coalition had built camps.

But what can he do now?

He can only command the army to charge and see if he can create a miracle.

Facts have proved that miracles are not so easy to create.

Guo Jia spent half a month building this camp, not for anything else, but for today's battle.

When the Qi army rushed over, thousands of arrows were fired in the camp. Behind the camp, the army that received Guo Jia's sacrifice had a surge in combat effectiveness in all aspects. Relying on the camp, they fought a desperate battle with the Qi army.

The bloody battle lasted for three hours. In order to survive, the Qi army showed extraordinary combat effectiveness and fighting will. Qi's fighters relied on their extraordinary personal abilities. Some even jumped up directly and wanted to jump into the camp, but most of them became targets. The few who succeeded were quickly eliminated by the Blood Clothes Army.

By this time, the Qi army's baggage troops isolated on the east bank of the Honggou had long been cleared. Xiahou Yuan, who was responsible for the surprise attack on this unit, ordered the captives to persuade them to surrender across the Honggou.

At the same time, the aroma of food came from Guo Jia's camp. The Blood Clothes Army and the Wei Army, who had been taking turns to resist the attack of the Qi army, began to eat in turn.

The unbreakable camp, the persuasion of surrender by comrades, and the hunger caused by the aroma of food made this army completely lose the will to fight.

Tian Zhang looked at the dejected soldiers and the corpses of his comrades all over the ground, and sighed helplessly.

He knew that this army had reached a dead end, and there was no chance to wait for reinforcements, because they had no reinforcements.

The troops that the Qi army had sent out could not be assembled in a short time, and they might even be facing the attack of Dayu in other directions.

They had become a completely isolated army, and an isolated army without food and grass.

Tian Zhang knew very well that the enemy had not launched a large-scale attack until now, not because the other party had no ability, but because the other party wanted to starve the Qi army completely to no strength, so as to take down this army at the lowest cost.

"My king, I have failed your trust!"

Thinking of the inevitable fate of this army's demise, Tian Zhang was sad from the bottom of his heart, and ordered to stop the attack, and surrendered to Guo Jia on the condition of saving the lives of all the Qi army soldiers.

Guo Jia was overjoyed.

This was exactly the result he wanted.

To be honest, Guo Jia was shocked that this army could still persist in fighting for three hours in such a desperate situation.

There is no doubt that this army is already a strong army.

If it had not been ambushed, it would have cost a heavy price to defeat this army head-on.

The morale and fighting spirit of this army were not like the Qi army. Guo Jia wanted to see who the commander of this army was.

However, what Guo Jia did not expect was that after reaching a surrender agreement, Tian Zhang actually drew his sword and committed suicide.

After Tian Zhang's death, more than 500 people followed Tian Zhang to commit suicide.

This made Guo Jia sigh.

After hesitating for a while, Guo Jia did not rush Tian Zhang's body to Cheng Yu, but ordered Tian Zhang to be buried with honor and accepted the surrender of the Qi army according to the previous agreement.

In this battle, Guo Jia accepted the surrender of more than 100,000 Qi troops, including 50,000 martial artists.

After the great victory, the coalition took advantage of the situation to counterattack. It took only half a month to recapture the cities occupied by the Qi people from the hands of the Qi people and planted the flags of Han and Wei on these lands.

Previously, Huang Zhong's troops, who could not bear to betray their loyalty, also occupied the land occupied by Chu when Wei divided Chu under the banner of Qi people, and then directed and acted out a drama in which Dayu defeated Qi army and liberated these lands.

Because these places were originally Chu lands, and a large part of the officials and troops sent by Huang Zhong to govern and guard were surrendered generals of Chu people, these Chu people did not reject them and naturally integrated into Dayu's system.

After completing the task of division, the coalition forces of Huang Zhong, Guo Jia, and Wei Liao split into two groups, one to Honggou and the other to Yongqiu, and went north leisurely. As a result, they encountered the defeated soldiers of Daliang halfway - Daliang City was broken.

Wei Da, who was escorting the family of King Wei to escape in a panic, reported to Guo Jia the reason why Daliang City was broken: Meng Ao openly prepared for a water attack, but secretly contacted Wei Yong, the Grand Marshal, and coerced and lured Wei Yong, and Wei Yong surrendered and opened the north gate.

The gates were opened, so the Wei army could not resist. King Anxi of Wei and his family, under the desperate protection of Wei Da, almost killed all the remaining Wei Wu soldiers before they could barely escape.

However, King Anxi of Wei, who had only a few years left to live, died of illness and anger after escaping the city, and Longyang Jun died for him.

Before his death, King Anxi of Wei passed the throne to the crown prince Wei Wu.

However, the passing of the throne at this time did not make much sense.

"Meng Ao still has something."

Guo Jia's mouth curled up, smiling.

Guo Jia really did not expect that Daliang would be lost so quickly. If that was the case...

Guo Jia called his son Guo Man: "You go to Cheng Ge Lao in person and tell him that Meng Ao has captured Daliang."

Guo Jia did not arrange any specific tasks, because under normal circumstances, Cheng Yu's ranking is still higher than his, and Cheng Yu should be responsible for the affairs of South Korea, but Guo Jia believes that with Cheng Yu's ability, he will definitely understand what he means.

Cheng Yu certainly understands what Guo Jia means.

This matter actually made his son come to deliver the message in person, which has already shown that Guo Jia attaches great importance to it, and even has a little bit of the flavor of taking the blame and entrusting the orphan.

As for what to take the blame, you can see it from the geography of Daliang.

Daliang is low-lying, and the north side is not far from the Yellow River. It is surrounded by many water systems such as the Honggou, which is very suitable for water attack.

In this era, the Yellow River has become a river on the ground. In history, the Qin State threatened the Wei State to attack Daliang by water, and Wang Ben's attack on Daliang in history was Wang Ben using the Honggou to divert the Yellow River water.

Now the new rainy season is coming. If the Yu army breaks the dike at the right position on the Yellow River, not only Daliang and other places will be finished, but Meng Ao's army will be finished.

And Cheng Yu can do this without anyone noticing, for example, bury the corpse soldiers in the river in advance and launch them at the critical moment.

There is no doubt that when the rainy season comes, the Qin army will definitely strengthen the defense of the river bank. If the Han army moves, they will take action immediately, but what if the action is the corpse soldiers?

[This plan of Mr. Guo is really vicious! Does he want to form a flood area on the Yellow River? Your Majesty will definitely not agree with this strategy, so Guo Fengxiao will play this kind of riddle. However, if it really succeeds and forms a flood area on the Yellow River, then if Qin wants to attack Dayu, it can only fight hard on the two lines of Han and Yingdu, and Dayu's defense pressure will be reduced sharply. I can even take this opportunity to free up my hands to clean up the weak Qi State... Tsk tsk...]

[If I use corpse soldiers, your majesty will definitely not guess that it was me. Perhaps in the process, Guo Fengxiao can pretend to be unprepared and lose some troops. I can also take the initiative with Dian Wei to lead troops to fight in other directions to eliminate suspicion. In this way, the Yellow River flood area will not matter. After all, this kind of thing may be done by other war agents who are crazy about military merit! ]

[Jia Wenhe will definitely be able to see it, but it doesn't matter. He may even be secretly happy! ]

[You can give it a try! ]

Cheng Yu couldn't help but be eager to try.

Cheng Yu didn't take human lives seriously, let alone the lives of people in the mission space.

He was only worried that Dong Huang would be angry.

[As long as your majesty doesn't know, it's fine! In short, be prepared! ]

Cheng Yu, who understood Guo Jia's meaning, decided to arrange a back-up plan first.

Whether to use it or not will be decided based on the changes in the situation, but the back-up plan is like a nuclear bomb. You can use it, but you must not have it!
