On the same day that Ji Kang set out from Jidu to Wuyang, Xiadu.

The King of Chang Guojun led the landing eastern army and arrived at Donglai City, the big city on the eastern coast of Qi.

He also set up camp at Anzhai under the city and sent people to the city to persuade Doctor Donglai to surrender.

Several big cities in Qi State, with the highest administrative and military officials are all named "Dawu". They can be said to be in charge of the army and dismounted horses to manage the people, and have great power. Basically, they are all controlled by the Queen and King Qi, and the relatives of the two tribes.

As for the Yan State's South Army, Wang Shi commanded the Fourth Army.

Then, the attack began to be carried out against Rao'an City, Qi State (now southeast of Yanshan, Hebei).

Arrows emitted from the air flew towards the top of Rao'an City.

The huge rocks emitted by the catapult cart also continued to hit the walls of Raoan City, making a loud "Peng, Peng".

On the top of Raoan City, people were occasionally screamed for being hit by arrows and huge rocks.

The current way of siege in the Yan army is different from the armies of various countries in this era.

For example, under the Rao'an City, the technicians of the catapult cart first watch the city layout of Rao'an City, and then combine information from all aspects to report to the main general Wang Shi whether the catapult cart can smash the city.

Obviously, this Rao'an City is within the ability of the catapult car in Yan State.

At least if the catapult cart can smash the city wall, the Yan army will not use siege tools such as ladders, siege cars, etc. This will undoubtedly greatly reduce the number of casualties of the Yan army's siege army.

The entire Yan army's square formation under the city remained motionless, waiting for the city wall to collapse.

When Rao'an City was about to collapse, the Yan army's various armies issued an order: "Go up and prepare."

All the Yan soldiers who were sieging the city put down the mask on their helmets, clenched the weapons in their hands, and prepared to siege the city.

After a while, the city wall hit by a huge rock fell down.

Wang Shi, the chief general on the podium, waved his hand and issued an order: "Attack."

On the podium, the flags that were sending offensives began to float.

The war drums on both sides of the Yan army's command platform also rang "dong, dong".

All the Yan army under the city shouted: "Kill."

In the order of the square, he ran to Raoan City facing the dust falling from the city wall.

As more and more Yan troops entered the city, fires and smoke were lit everywhere in Raoan City.

A messenger came to the commanding stage of the chief general Wang Shi and reported to Wang Shi:

"Report to the general, come to report to the city that the commander of Qi army in Rao'an City was killed in battle, and our army is controlling Rao'an City."

Wang Shi nodded and then ordered: "Report to the king and the commander Rong Qi from the rear, and said that our army had occupied Rao'an City and asked him to send officials to accept Rao'an as soon as possible."

"promise."

As a general of Yan State, Wang Shi was very clear about the placement of the Yan State court in this attack on Qi.

The army is fighting on the front line, and the nine departments and various systems in the rear court are also actively operating.

For example, the Ministry of Personnel has already selected a group of outstanding officials to be prepared to accept Qi State; the Ministry of War is also actively organizing the reserve army based on the changes on the front line to prepare for reinforcements; the Ministry of Medical Affairs is organizing physicians and nurses to participate in the treatment of the wounded...

Even the Ministry of Commerce actively organized various chambers of commerce to transport military funds, food, grass, soldiers, etc. to the front line.

Wang Shi has followed the current Yan Wang Ji Kang since Liao. He is already very familiar with the current operating system of Yan State. He knows deeply that the current system implemented by Yan State is very different from before.

Even compared with the countries in the Central Plains, this system is obviously different from other countries and is extremely efficient.

As the leader of the front line, you just need to do your best to fight hard.

As for logistics transportation, food and grass security, these issues are no longer considered by the main general.

I thought that in Liao, all the places occupied by the Yan army, whether it was Fuyu, Ji Kingdom, the three northern counties, etc., were completely settled in less than a year later.

This is unimaginable for any country today.

Thinking of this, Wang Shi couldn't help but say to the generals of Yan State beside him: "The king is wise and powerful, and the national system he has practiced has never been seen since ancient times. If we are lucky enough to follow my king, we will definitely be able to unify the world..."

However, when they saw the generals around the podium, they all looked "confused".

Wang Shi couldn't help but stop and sighed.

I remembered what Wang Shangji Kang once said to him: "Life is so lonely as snow!"

But if I remember correctly, Wang Shi's expression at that time was exactly the same as the faces of the current generals.

But the general Wang Shi would never admit these things.

As the Yan army invaded Qi on a large scale, the envoys and even secret spies from various countries in the Central Plains began to move.

They sent people back and reported to the kings of their respective countries.

Zhao State is connected with Yan State, and the capital Handan is closest to Yan State, so it is undoubtedly the earliest news.

After the Yan army entered Qi on the first day, the Zhao envoys and other personnel in Yan State hurriedly sent back the message from Yan State. This information started from the cities on the border of Yan and Zhao, and was relayed by post officials overnight to bring the message back to Handan.

It was late at night when General Wang Shi took Rao An.

Ji Kang's uncle Zhao Wangdan was woken up late at night.

After reading the information brought back from Yan State, he learned that the Yan army had launched a large-scale attack on Qi State.

Zhao Wangdan's inner shock can be imagined.

Immediately, someone called Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng, and even the veteran Lian Po who had just returned to Handan City to discuss how Zhao should respond to the current battle between Yan and Qi.

In early March, Zhao Wangdan sent general Le Yi to Jinyang City and replaced veteran Lian Po to return to Handan.

After Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng and Lian Po came to the palace, they read the message sent back from Yan State.

The two looked at each other and saw the look of surprise on each other's faces.

The Yan State did a great job in attacking Qi in the early stage, and he had no idea about it!

Zhao Wangdan's voice sounded in Zhao Sheng and Lian Po and his two ears: "Uncle Wang, old general, can you two judge whether Yan State's attack on Qi this time is a small fight? Or is it if Le Yi is planning to completely occupy Qi?"

After hearing what Zhao Wangdan said, Zhao Sheng and veteran Lian Po both bowed their heads and thought about it.

After a while, the Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng stepped forward to Zhao Dan and said, "I believe that Yan State has planned to attack Qi in this way. It must be not a small fight, but a plan to fight with Qi and destroy Qi."

"Your Majesty, my king can think about it. A few years ago, Yan sent Su Dai and Jiangqu to our Zhao State and signed a "Friendly Country" alliance with our Zhao State. It seems that at that time, Yan State was ready to take action against Qi State!"

Zhao Wangdan suddenly realized and said to Zhao Sheng:

"Uncle Wang, that's true! At that time, I thought it was King Kang of Yan who was my relative of Zhao State, so I sent Su Dai and Jiang Qu to come to our Zhao State to have a good relationship. I didn't expect that my nephew had such a deep strategy!"

Then he turned to look at the veteran Lian Po and asked:

"Elder General, what do you think the battle between Yan and Qi will win or lose?"

Veteran Lian Po thought for a while and replied:

"Report to my king, I don't know what the subsequent battle between Yan and Qi countries is. But the Yan army will definitely win a great victory in the early stage, so there is no need to question this."

Zhao Wangdan said "Oh" and asked again: "The old general, what's the reason?"

The veteran Lian Po replied: "The king, as Pingyuan Jun said just now, Yan State had already planned and prepared well; Qi did not expect that Yan State would launch such a large-scale attack on Qi after the new king ascended the throne. This is because of intentionality against unintentionality, which is the military strategy: attack the unpredictable attack."

"The second is that the Yan army's ability to fight is now completely beyond the imagination of the last general. King Shang, the Yan army aided our Zhao State two years ago, and fought with 150,000 elite Qin troops in Shangdang. Both Qin generals Meng Ao and Sima Geng died in battle."

"The 150,000 elite army of Qin was also defeated by the Yan army and captured nearly 100,000 people. It is said that they were sent to Liao. The last general thought that with the above two points, the Yan army would not have to question in the early stage, and it would definitely win. The Qi army was not the opponent of the Yan army."

At this time, the king of Pingyuan Zhao Sheng also said to King Dan of Zhao: "Your Majesty, General Lian Po said so much, I will discuss it."

Zhao Wangdan thought for a while and said to the two: "It seems that this is true? Then will Yan and Qi destroy Qi in this battle? Or will it be the same as Le Yi attacked Qi back then?"

This question stopped Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng and veteran Lian Po. They thought for a long time but could not get the answer.

Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng could only say to King Zhao Dan:

"King, Yan and Qi are both great powers in the world. No matter whether the two countries fight, no matter whether they win or lose, we, Zhao, must prepare in advance. If what I expected is not bad, in a few days, Qi will definitely send envoys to our Zhao State for help."

The veteran Lian Po also said to King Dan of Zhao: "The king, what the king of Pingyuan said, I will discuss it."

After hearing what Zhao Sheng and Lian Po said, Zhao Wangdan sneered twice:

"In the Battle of Changping, Qi State sat on the fight between us, Zhao and Qin. Our Zhao State sent envoys to Qi State many times, but Qi State was unwilling to lend a helping hand to help me Zhao State. Only King Kang of Yan gave me the greatest help."

"My dear ministers, I want to take advantage of the battle between Yan and Qi, and send troops to occupy Tian Dan's affairs and return the 57 cities of Gaotang and Pingyuan in Qi. Can it be done?"

Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng was stunned, thought about it again, and said to Zhao Wangdan:

"Your Majesty, it is not possible at present. Our State of Zhao is ready first and watch the conflict between Yan and Qi. If Yan and Qi win, our State of Zhao will send envoys to Yan and form an alliance with the king's nephew, Yan Wang Kang, to seize the fifty-seven cities that our State of Zhao had originally returned to Qi."

"If Qi State wins, our Zhao State can send troops to attack Yan State, or force Yan State to return to Zhongyang, Lingshou and other cities where our Zhao State had returned to Yan State. In this way, our Zhao State can be said to be invincible."

After hearing what the words of the King of Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng, Zhao Sheng both smiled.

The veteran Lian Po hurriedly said to King Dan of Zhao: "Your Majesty, Pingyuan's plan is very wonderful, I agree with it."

Zhao Wangdan laughed loudly and said to Pingyuan Jun Zhao Shengdao:
Chapter completed!
