The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 174 Chaos adds to chaos
The Hedong area was continuously bled by Zhang Tang. This experienced hunter and veteran who had fought hundreds of battles made the Wei army in Hedong suffer terribly.

After the State of Chu joined the war, Ying Zheng sent Wang Jian to lead an army of 50,000 to garrison in the Yangcheng area, ready to attack the heartland of the State of Wei at any time. The State of Wei had no choice but to send a large army to confront Wang Jian.

The Chu army was doing fine this time, except at the beginning, after which King Kaolie of Chu restrained himself. However, he also attacked the heartland of Suiyang to rescue the State of Zhao!

That's your mother! It's another case of besieging Wei to save Zhao! This time it's your turn, Chu!

The biggest threat and the most brutal battlefield is still the fight with the Zhao army. The two sides have already started a real fight. The Zhao army will fight to the death and it seems that there is no way to retreat.

Retreat is not an easy matter. If we are not careful, we will be defeated. If we retreat now, the war will collapse. How dare we retreat easily?

If the Zhao army refused to retreat, Wei would have no choice.

They had already reached Guiling, which was only a hundred miles away from Daliang. What else could Wei do? They could only fight to the death.

Moreover, King Anxi of Wei was a powerful king for his whole life, so how could he accept such injustice and humiliation in his old age? He was ruthless. Even though there was a food shortage in the country, he still ordered General Gongsun Xiu to fight a bloody battle against the Zhao army, determined to teach Zhao a lesson!
The country that is now most concerned about the attack is Yan State. This time, King Xi of Yan can be considered to be proud, and he has indeed gained a lot by taking advantage of the situation.

The greedy King Xi of Yan did not know what it meant to quit while he was ahead. He sent three urgent letters a day urging Yan Chunjun to take advantage of this opportunity to inflict heavy damage on the State of Zhao and capture as many cities as possible.

At the urging of King Xi of Yan, and with Yan Chunjun's confidence, they advanced triumphantly all the way, attacking unceasingly. Without waiting for a city to be settled, they would immediately march to the next one with only a small garrison. For a while, their momentum was unmatched.

Even though the world was in such chaos, Ying Zheng still felt it was not enough.

Qi and Han are still idle, how can this be possible?

Don't even think of sitting on the mountain and watching the fight between tigers. Even if you have to play a supporting role, you have to get involved.

Qi and Han watched the world fall into chaos in just a few months, and they were initially at a loss, or even terrified.

What's going on?! Why did it suddenly happen?! No one notified us?
Both countries were so frightened that they prepared for war, but they were only prepared for defense. No one dared to help and they just trembled on the sidelines.

It was not until Wei and Zhao sought help everywhere and sent lobbyists and envoys to various countries that Qi and Han finally understood the situation. For a time, the two countries were both eager to take action and hesitant.

Ying Zheng sent a lobbyist with three thousand gold coins to Qi State to bribe Hou Sheng, the prime minister of Qi State.

Since he ascended the throne, Ying Zheng has always maintained good relations with the State of Qi, and has been spending money to maintain the relationship with Hou Sheng. Now is the time to use it.

This time, please ask Hou Sheng to persuade King Jian of Qi to take the opportunity to attack Wei and Yan for revenge, as the opportunity cannot be missed and will never come again.

Knowing that Qi was worried about revenge from Wei and Yan, he also gave a thoughtful suggestion, which was to invite Anping Jun Tian Dan to join Zhao as a general and lead troops to attack Wei and Yan in the name of Zhao army.

In this way, Housheng can have one less big enemy in the court, Qi can take the opportunity to retaliate and recover some lost territory. Wei and Yan, which have been badly damaged, will never dare to retaliate easily. Why not do it?

Housheng looked at the room full of gold cakes and listened to the lobbyist's words.

It only took two breaths to make up my mind.

For Qi! Do it!
The State of Qi was prosperous, and King Jian of Qi learned his grandfather's lesson too much.

King Jian of Qi has never been warlike and lives very comfortably in his own little piece of land, but even a clay man has a temper.

In the past twenty years, Wei, Chu and Yan had been too aggressive towards Qi. They lost land in the west and then turned around to grab it in the east. Although Zhao also did this, it was much better than Wei and Chu. Zhao was not so aggressive.

Besides, Qi and Yan are blood enemies, and Yan and Zhao are also blood enemies. The enemy of my enemy may not be my friend, but they can definitely be allies.

As for the State of Yan, it is its mortal enemy. As long as Yan is unhappy, Qi will be very happy.

Seeing such a good opportunity, King Jian of Qi was already eager to make a move. With Hou Sheng's firm support, King Jian of Qi made up his mind and did it!

He personally invited Anping Jun Tian Dan to lead an army of 100,000 into Zhao.

Tian Dan was in a confused mood when King Jian of Qi came to visit him, as he was already too old.

He started from humble beginnings, became famous in one battle, and now he has a clear view of the general trend of the world.

It was because he saw it clearly that he finally accepted the order.

I am destined to see no future, so let's attack Yan State again.

King Zhao Daoxiang, who had been unable to sleep or eat, was overjoyed and immediately cooperated with King Qi Jian in acting.

Tian Dan was immediately appointed Lord Duping and given lavish rewards, and was asked to deal with the State of Yan. As long as the State of Yan was delayed, the State of Zhao could deal a heavy blow to the State of Wei!

Tian Dan had always been able to deal with the State of Yan, so he happily led the army.

The Yan army had been advancing with unstoppable force and had already become arrogant. Suddenly, they were attacked and killed by Anping Jun Tian Dan, no, by Duping Jun Tian Dan. They suffered heavy losses. No one could have imagined that Qi, which had always been the victim of attacks, would dare to send troops to attack.

The Yan army had already committed the great taboo of penetrating deep into the enemy's territory. They were also arrogant soldiers, and there was a blood feud between Yan and Zhao. The actions of the Yan army since attacking Zhao had not only angered heaven and man, but also made the people of Zhao hate them to the core. It would be a miracle if the Yan army, led by Yan Chunjun, could do anything good.

Unintentionally, it was Tian Dan who led the army.

Even though they were outnumbered, they still defeated the Yan army. If Yan Chunjun had not been protected by an expert and escaped quickly, even he, the commander-in-chief, would have been in great danger.

It was a pity that the Qi army was poorly prepared, had no advantage in manpower, and had few cavalry. After winning a great victory, they were unable to pursue and defeat the enemy, and failed to achieve the greatest results.

Yan Chunjun had a hard time gathering the defeated army, but after counting the troops of 200,000, only a little over 100,000 were left. The rest were either killed or scattered and no one knew where they were. For a moment, he felt like crying but had no tears.

This was not the end. After the defeat of the Yan army, the cities that had already been captured rebelled one after another because of the Yan army's previous anthropomorphic behavior. These cities had not had time to be digested and occupied, and for a time Yan Chunjun could only retreat in defeat.

All the cities that had been captured previously were lost at once, leaving only the last five cities struggling to hold on. Yan Chunjun had no time to think about the future and hurriedly sought help from the country.

As for Han, seeing the chaos, Han was also ready to make a move. King Huanhui of Han was not very ambitious. He just wanted to take Shangcai of Wei. It was such a good opportunity, so he should take advantage of it.

We were beaten too hard by the Qin State on a normal day. Now we can replenish our blood, and we must seize the opportunity.

Both Chu and Han have been eyeing Shangcai for too long. In order to maintain a certain balance, Chu is now attacking the heartland of Wei to share the pressure for Zhao. This golden opportunity must not be missed!

Anyway, looking at the current situation, Wei and Zhao will not be able to recover in a few years. Even if Wei retaliates, the worst that can happen is that they will cede a few small cities to Qin and ask for Qin's protection.
