On April 16, Zuo Zong led the Second Army to pass by Tongshicheng (now Qin County, Shanxi), and the army still did not stop.

He headed south all the way and passed by Tunliu City on the 18th, but the Second Army still did not attack the city.

On April 20, Zuo Zong led more than 33,000 soldiers of the Second Army and finally arrived at the destination of his army - Changzicheng, Shangdang County Government.

The Liao army led by the commander Rong Fen immediately followed, and did not stop in Tongdu City.

After knowing that Rongyan had captured Nirvana City for half a day, the general Rongfu showed a rare smile on his face.

At the deputy general Liu Sheng, he smiled and said, "This Zuo Zong seems to be unmoved by the city along the way!"

Liu Sheng looked at Rongfu and teased: "General, please leave this Tongzhu City for General Rongyan's troops to attack! The last general dares to guarantee that Rongyan must be cursing in his heart now!"

Rong fur laughed loudly, watching Liu Sheng, who started with soldiers and now became an important general in Liao.

He said to him: "Rongyan usually knows field battles, especially after Junhou asked him to lead the First Army. As a qualified general, it is necessary to have both field battles, defense, siege, etc."

Liu Sheng nodded and affirmed Rong Feng's statement.

Rong Qi turned around and said to Hu Guiliang, the commander of the Third Army, following behind him:

"General Hu, the city of Changzi is of great significance and is related to the success or failure of my army's journey south. General Zuo Zong went south and rushed to his eldest son. Zhucheng, which the Qin army stationed behind him, depends on us."

"Tunliucheng has a great impact on our army's attack on Changzicheng. We ordered our troops to quickly send a large army to Tunliu. We must arrive at Tunliu tomorrow, and take Tunliu City the next day, so there must be no mistakes."

After hearing the orders of coach Rong Qi, Hu Guiliang looked excited and immediately bowed:

"The last general will never let down the general's entrustedness."

After saying that, he hurriedly rode his horse and took a few personal guards to mobilize the troops to set off in Tunliu.

Rong Fen turned around and said to a messenger beside him: "Has Rong Yan's first army set out from Nirvana?"

The messenger reported immediately: "Report to General Qi, General Rongyan sent someone to report that the army has set out from Nirvana today."

Rong Yan had no expression on his face and ordered: "Appoint Rong Yan's troops to lead the army south to attack Tongli City. After taking down Tongli City, his first army did not need to advance south, but was stationed in Tongli City and Nirvana, preparing to fight against Sima Geng's troops who went south to the Qin army."

The messenger bowed and said, "No."

After occupying the city of Nirvana, Rongyan was left to stay in Nirvana and built outside the city. On the way south, he received the military order from the commander Rongqi.

After seeing his father's order, Rong Yan said to the captain who came to pass the order: "When you go back and tell the general, you will say that Rong Yan knows and will take down Tongzhu City. Please rest assured."

After the commemoration officer left, Rong Yan said deeply to the few close confidants behind him: "I now suspect that I am not my son! How could he be so biased! I am leading my first army in Liao!"

These confidants all knew the relationship between their general and their father Rongfu. They wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and their faces were flushed.

Changzi County is located on the southwest side of the Shangdang Basin. It is Yangtou Mountain in the east and connects Changping Pass. The Fajiu Mountain in the west is connected to Wu'an City. It is Antai Mountain in the south. It turns east and connects to Guguan City. The Fangshan in the north and extends to Dingding Mountain Range.

The history of Changzi County is also very long. King Wen of Zhou was named Taishi Xinjia as the eldest son.

In the 12th year of King Wucheng of Yan, the Qin and Zhao armies fought decisively in Changping, and the Huayang Jun Feng Ting finally died in Changzi County.

As the county government of Shangdang County, Changzi County is very important in geographical location.

If the Liao army occupied Changzi County, the Liao army could completely cut off the route after the current Qin army retreated westward under the city of Handan.

Sima Geng's deputy general Fan Meng only learned about the news of the Liao army's advance south four or five days ago.

At this time, there were not many Qin troops stationed in Changzi County, only about a few thousand people.

Fan Meng was very panicked and knew deeply what the current Changzi County meant to the Qin army under the entire city of Handan! If Changzi County was captured by the Liao army, the Qin army under the entire city of Handan would be in danger of being wiped out!

On the one hand, Fan Meng sent people to report to King Yingji of Qin in Xianyang City; on the other hand, he sent people to Sima Geng of Jinyang City and Wang Yi, the commander of the Qin army under Handan City.

At the same time, while ordering the Qin army soldiers to strengthen the city, Fan Meng, the garrison of Changzi County, issued an emergency order to transfer the Qin army stationed in the southern part of Shangdang County to concentrate troops in Changzi County.

Just when the troops of Zuo Zong, the second army of Liao, arrived in Changzi County, Fan Meng was in Changzi County and probably concentrated about 10,000 Qin troops to guard the city.

At this time, Changzi County was used as a transfer station for the important materials of the Qin army under Handan City. The Qin army had no shortage of food, grass, military resources, etc. in Changzi County, and the only thing they lacked were soldiers.

The Liao army was dispatched too suddenly, and no one expected it!

Even if you fight, according to the current strategy, your Liao army should also send a large army to Handan. Why did you suddenly cross the Taihang Mountains and come to our Shangdang?

After Zuo Zong came to Changzi City, he did not immediately order the attack and ordered the Liao army to set up camp and rest for a day.

He led the generals of the Second Army to a mountain not far from Changzi City and looked at Changzi City.

Putting down the telescope in his hand, Zuo Zong looked at the Liao general behind him, and saw that the generals were still holding the telescope, and then carefully checked the status of the guards in Changzi City.

Although Changzi City is tall, it has been in ruins over the past few years after war.

Many sections of the city walls can be seen at a glance, which are the newly built cities of the Qin army recently, and are not very reliable.

Zuo Zong laughed and said to the generals of the Second Army: "Dear generals, the ultimate goal of our army is the Changzi City. Changzi City is of great significance to our Liao army. As long as you occupy the city and defend the city."

"This time our Liao army was cut off. The Qin army's hundreds of thousands of troops under Handan City retreated to the west completely realized the strategy of Junhou's move south this time. It's of great significance!"

After hearing Zuo Zong's words, the generals of Liao land put down the telescope in their hands, looked at Changzixian in front of them, and nodded.

Especially Liu Shou, the commander of the First Division of Shangdang, came all the way and saw the once prosperous homeland, which was ruined everywhere, and the anger in his heart had already burned.

Major General Liu Shou took two steps forward, bowed to the army commander Zuo Zong:

"Chief, the last general asks for an order to attack Changzicheng. My First Division is willing to be the vanguard. If you cannot take Changzicheng, the last general is willing to be dealt with by military law."

Zuo Zong looked at Liu Shou and naturally knew Liu Shou's past. He nodded and said to Liu Shou and the generals:

"In order to avoid the long nights and many dreams, our army must take the city in one go tomorrow and cannot give the Qin army any chance to breathe. After returning, we will assemble the catapult cart and instruct the soldiers to have a good rest."

"Team Commander Liu, your request will be approved. Tomorrow, your First Division will take the eldest son city as the vanguard of our army."

After hearing what the commander Zuo Zong said, Liu Shou was overjoyed.

He bowed together with the other generals of the Second Army and said, "No."

Just as Zuo Zong was preparing to attack Changzicheng, Wang He, the commander of the Qin army under Handan City, received a report from Fan Meng, the defender of Changzicheng, and learned the news that the Liao army went south to attack Changzicheng.

After seeing the urgent letter from Fan Meng, the guardian of Changzicheng, Wang Yan suddenly turned black and almost fell to the ground.

He hurriedly summoned the Qin generals under the city of Handan to discuss countermeasures.

At present, the situation of the armies under Handan city is very clear, and the situation of the Qin army is extremely steep.

The 80,000 Wei army led by Xinlingjun of Wei State was in the eastern part of Handan City; the 100,000 Chu army led by the Chu ruler Huang Xie, the 100,000 Chu army led by Chunshenjun of Chu, had reached the southwest of Handan City; plus the 250,000 Zhao army in Handan City.

The Qin army at the city of Handan is no longer able to attack Handan City, but is surrounded by the three-country alliance forces of Zhao, Chu and Wei. Now, with the operation of Liaocheng Jun Ji Kang, this time, this is the situation of destroying the entire Qin army under Handan City!

Deputy General Meng Ao, young generals Wang Jian, Zhao Rong and other Qin generals looked at the map hanging in the tent, and their faces were heavy and silent.

Meng Ao stepped forward and bowed to the head general Wang He who was still standing next to the map:

"General, now our army has been surrounded by the three coalition forces of Zhao, Wei and Chu, and the Yan army attacked Shangdang in the back. Now our Qin State has nearly 500,000 troops under the city of Handan, and we are in danger. We must make a quick decision! Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"The last general suggested that our army will withdraw quickly to Wuguan City in an emergency, send a large army to Changzicheng, defeat the Liao army, and open up the road for our main force of Qin army to retreat westward and return to the country. This is the last general's view, and I hope the general will consider it."

Wang Yan turned around and looked at the many Qin troops in the Central Army's tent. He knew that at this time, he could not hesitate and said to Meng Ao:

"General Meng, what he said is the most. Now our army no longer needs to fight with the three coalition forces of Zhao, Wei and Chu at the city of Handan..."

At this moment, a small school outside the tent reported: "I reported to the general, Xianyang envoy, and the king issued an edict."

Wang Feng frowned and led the Qin generals to come out to receive the imperial edict.

Only then did I realize that this order was King Yingji of Qin, who ordered King He to lead the Qin army back to the west of Wuguan City and stationed in Fencheng for rest.

After hearing the imperial edict of King Yingji of Qin, Wang Yan sighed to the sky and said to the generals of the Qin army:

"If my king's edict could be half a month earlier, then it would be fine if it would be ten days earlier! Now..."

Speaking of this, Wang Ying shook his head and immediately ordered: "Dear generals, I will give me the order and order my army to give up the siege of Handan City. You can retreat to Wuguan City."

"This Liaochengjun is so brave that he dares to cut off the Qin army's retreat. General Meng Ao, I ordered you to lead a large army of 100,000 to head towards Changzicheng quickly. Be sure to repel the Yan army and open up the way for the main force of our Qin army to return."

"Everyone can go down and prepare. Our army will set off and return to China tomorrow."

Meng Ao, Wang Jian, Zhao Rong and other Qin generals stood up together and obeyed in unison: "Promise."

As usual, the military meeting held by the Qin army did not invite Zheng Anping, the confidant of Qin Prime Minister Fan Ju, to attend.
