The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 351: The Furious King Zhao Daoxiang
Seeing the development of the situation, Guo Kai felt satisfied.

Sure enough, under the desperate resistance of the Zhao army, the King of Qin still wanted to use softer means to conquer Zhao.

Well, why fight when you can talk?

Only the Zhao State, which resisted desperately, could get a good price from the Qin State.

We also have to thank the State of Yan. If the State of Yan really wanted to cooperate with the State of Qin, then Qin would have no bargaining chips this time.

It was still the same old rules. In the court of the Great Qin Dynasty, Guo Kai was upright, indomitable, and unyielding. He appealed to the emotions and reason of all the important officials in the court of the Great Qin Dynasty.

As for the price negotiated in secret, Guo Kai's generosity and ability made Ying Zheng amazed.

Now, the five important cities of Zhao State that have been captured can all be abandoned, and the fourteen cities of Yan State captured the year before last can also be returned.

Now that Yan State has been taken back, it doesn’t matter.

We learned that Ying Zheng wanted the cities in Wusui and Wuyi, which are just Hejian areas, so it's easy to negotiate.

The above is the inside, and there is also the outside.

In order to save face, the King of Zhao could dismiss General Pang Nuan and allow him to go to Xianyang in person to hold a meeting and discuss friendship.

I have to say that Guo Kai is really capable. He took advantage of the situation and sold out all the things that the armies of the Three Kingdoms had been fighting for with an army of 500,000 or 600,000.

It's really good to cooperate with this kind of person. He will really do things if you pay him.

Ying Zheng gave him three thousand gold and a hundred treasures on the spot, and sent secret guards to deliver them to his home.

Guo Kai made a small request, asking the Qin State to intensify its offensive, and he would immediately return to the country to negotiate. After all, he sold a little too much this time, so he still needed to go back and ask the master's opinion.

But basically the situation has been decided.

Ying Zheng told Guo Kai that Qin could cooperate with Zhao to negotiate the matter secretly so that Zhao could teach Yan a severe lesson.

Guo Kaixin understood what he meant.

From the surface, it seems that Zhao has suffered heavy losses, and the situation is becoming increasingly critical, and it is in imminent danger.

Originally, the Qin Dynasty temporarily suspended its offensive, and the Zhao State barely took a breath, but the Yan State attacked at the same time, taking advantage of the situation and destroying the entire northeast direction.

However, due to the threat from the Qin Dynasty, they were unable to go to the rescue and were like an ant on hot pot.

As a result, the Qin Dynasty has intensified its offensive, and the situation has instantly become even worse.

Just at this time, Guo Kai came back exhausted.

Brought back some not so good news.

The State of Qin was willing to cease fire and negotiate peace and sign a peace treaty.

However, the asking price is too high.

Now the losses of Zhao State were too great. Not only had all the food been vomited out, but two more pieces of meat had to be cut off.

King Zhao Daoxiang was really reluctant to let her go.

However, as the Qin army's offensive became more fierce, emergency messages from the Zhao army continued to arrive, and even a small number of Qin cavalry appeared near Handan.

Under the persuasion of Guo Kai and Jianxin Jun, King Zhao Daoxiang gritted his teeth and agreed to Qin's conditions.

Guo Kai immediately went back to Qin and signed a ceasefire agreement.

After the truce with the Qin army, the furious King Zhao Daoxiang immediately ordered Li Mu to lead the elite cavalry to attack the Yan army first, with the rest of the large force following closely behind!
The Yan army, which was completely clueless and already busy with looting and reveling, was in disarray and had no fighting power at all.

With the tacit understanding between Qin and Zhao, they were suddenly defeated when they encountered the large army of Zhao, and were completely defeated.

Because the Yan army had looted too much and was unwilling to give up, they suffered heavy losses along the way.

However, it was a blessing in disguise, because they were scattered, so even if Li Mu's cavalry charged, they were not trampled to death or injured in large numbers, and the entire army was not wiped out.

Because King Xi of Yan valued Wusui, he personally led an army of more than 100,000 to Wusui. His caution greatly helped him this time.

When the two armies were defeated and fled back, there was no chaos. With the presence of King Xi of Yan, he quickly gathered the defeated soldiers and stabilized the chaotic situation.

After learning about the situation, King Xi of Yan immediately realized that Qin and Zhao had already ceased hostilities.

Otherwise, Li Mu would never dare to ignore Qin and attack Yan instead.

The remnants of the defeated army kept fleeing back to Wusui. Fortunately, the Yan army was busy looting and had no organization. Because of their absolute numerical advantage, although they fled in all directions and suffered heavy losses, they were not completely wiped out.

Although Li Mu was in an absolute advantage of victory, his troops were few in number after all, and he had to pacify the local people and recapture the city. He did not have enough troops and energy to hunt down these scattered soldiers who were already in a state of disarray.

After seeing the evil done by the Yan army, Li Mu hated the Yan State so much, but before the arrival of the large army, he could only quickly appease the local people.

On the one hand, he urged Qingshe's large army to arrive as soon as possible to teach Yan a severe lesson.

King Xi of Yan continued to gather the defeated soldiers and actively prepared to defend the city. He would never let Zhao take Wusui away this time!
at all costs!
As long as Wusui and Yishui are not lost and the Great Wall is still there, it will not be easy for the Zhao army to attack Yan, and Li Mu's cavalry, which can come and go like the wind, will not be able to come and go freely.

This important place must not be lost!
After ten full days, the Zhao army's main force finally arrived.

Gradually, there were fewer and fewer defeated soldiers fleeing to Wusui. King Xi of Yan counted the losses and found that more than 40,000 people were killed.

This made King Xi of Yan's heart bleed. There were more than 40,000 people.

If I had known this earlier, I would have followed the alliance with Qin. Even if I fought for Qin and went to Hejian, it would be impossible to lose more than 40,000 people!
He wanted to trick the Qin State, but he didn't expect that Qin's revenge would come so quickly.

But it's too late to regret.

King Yan comforted himself that fortunately all the lost territories had been recovered, including the most important strategic locations.

The price is affordable.

But my heart still hurts so much.

Forty thousand! Forty thousand!
The Yan State had a small population to begin with, and considering the losses in the previous two years, it would take at least ten to eight years to recover.

But it’s not over yet.

When the Zhao army that came to rescue saw the miserable state of their own people, they were all filled with rage and hatred!
That's your mother!

There are no bastards like you in the Qin State!

The Qin army only killed people on the battlefield, but never harmed civilians!
After the follow-up large force arrived, the Zhao army immediately disregarded their lives and attacked the city in a rage, which was extremely brutal.

Wusui had just been captured not long ago after a fierce battle. Even with King Xi of Yan's race against time to repair it, there were still many loopholes. In addition, Wusui had already been captured by the State of Zhao for several years, so the State of Zhao knew Wusui very well.

Supported by the Zhao army's anger and hatred, they launched attacks every day.

The Yan army, under the personal supervision of King Xi of Yan, also put up a stubborn resistance.

The Yan army already had an advantage in terms of military strength. Although its combat effectiveness and morale were not as good as those of the Zhao army, it was defending the city after all, and it had no worries and its logistics were stable.

For a time, the two countries were caught in an extremely tragic and terrifying siege war.

The daily death toll was as high as five to six thousand. Such a brutal siege had not been seen in the world for more than ten years.

As the attacking party, Zhao State was furious and had high morale, but it was still an attack after all. After several days, the tragic losses made everyone calm down.

We can't fight like this anymore. No matter how weak the State of Yan is, we are putting all our efforts into it and mobilizing the entire country's army, led by King Xi of Yan himself.

Moreover, this time, King Xi of Yan was very ruthless. Even though he suffered heavy losses, he refused to retreat and did not even ask for peace.

It looks like he is determined to fight to the end.

Unless Zhao State and Yan State fight to the death, it will definitely not be able to be defeated given the current situation.

When the news of the battle situation on the front line reached Handan, the furious King Zhao Daoxiang smashed and looted the palace for a whole day.

The furious king made everyone in the Zhao Palace tremble in fear and silence.

This was the biggest and most frustrating loss King Zhao Daoxiang had ever suffered since he ascended the throne.

Even the most favored queen did not dare to dissuade him in the slightest and sent people to look for Guo Kai, who had just returned from Qin less than two days ago.

Guo Kai was not stupid. He definitely could not go into the palace to persuade the king at this time. He waited until nightfall, thinking that the king's anger had almost extinguished and he had no strength left, and then he entered the palace.

Guo Kai's estimation was correct. After venting his anger for a day, King Zhao Daoxiang had indeed calmed down.

But his stern expression and cold eyes made Guo Kai's heart tremble. It was the first time Guo Kai saw King Zhao Daoxiang like this.

After paying his respects, Guo Kai advised: "Your Majesty, in a time of great strife, occasional gains and losses are common. Your Majesty is still young and strong, so there is no need to worry about the moment. Please take good care of yourself."

"Yan is just taking advantage of the situation. Let's put an end to the situation for now. After Qin is stabilized, we can easily teach Yan a lesson. We could easily defeat Yan and seize the land and cities two years ago, and we can do it now."

"The King of Yan has broken his promise and offended Qin this time. Great Zhao should rest and recuperate for a year or two. It will be difficult to capture Yan easily."

King Zhao Daoxiang nodded slowly: "I understand, but the King of Yan is really not a good son. He took advantage of others' misfortune and trampled on my subjects. He also did not put in any effort in the previous coalition, and even stumbled and deliberately dragged down the coalition forces."

"I will definitely avenge this vengeance!"

Guo Kai solemnly stated: "Don't worry, Your Majesty. Yan State has been so treacherous and has repeatedly committed immoral acts. It will definitely not be tolerated by the world. Just wait a little longer, and there will be a chance."

King Zhao Daoxiang nodded slowly and said: "Let's leave it as it is for now. Let's negotiate peace with the State of Yan, and use the Yishui River as the boundary."

Guo Kai bowed and said, "Your Majesty is wise."

King Zhao Daoxiang said in a deep voice: "Mr. Guo, I'll leave this matter to you to discuss."

"My minister obeys."

After leaving the palace, Guo Kai frowned tightly and exhaled deeply.

"That won't do. The king has become more powerful in recent years. If he knew about my relationship with Qin,

Guo Kai shuddered.

"No, we need to be more stable next time. The king likes beautiful women. After this is over, find someone to send more beauties to the king to wear down his will and energy. This matter cannot be delayed any longer. We can't slack off any longer."

When the news that Zhao State was willing to negotiate peace reached King Xi of Yan, King Xi, who seemed to be determined to fight to the death, also breathed a sigh of relief.

The State of Zhao finally took the initiative to negotiate peace!
I can’t hold on any longer!
