Although Shangdang County, Zhao State, and Hedong County, Qin State, is adjacent to Hedong County, Shangdang County is located in dense mountains and is very inconvenient for the army to operate. This is also common sense.

During the Battle of Changping, Zhao State did not choose, but now, as the side that took the initiative to attack, Zhao Kuo decisively gave up the route of marching from Shangdang to the Hedong of Qin State, and chose to cross the Zhang River first and enter the territory of Wei State, pass through Yecheng, Chaoge and then enter the territory of South Korea.

There is another advantage of doing this, that is, it can meet with two allies of Zhao's attack on Qin, Wei and Han, along the way.

Looking at the history of hegemony in the Warring States Period, it is actually a sentence that ultimately comes down to one sentence - those who have Han and Wei gain hegemony! This is because Han and Wei are located in the Central Plains, bordering Qi in the east, Chu in the south, Qin in the west, and Zhao in the north, and are an unswerving central hub four battles.

Therefore, what any overlord country does after its rise must be to take Han and Wei two younger brothers to attack other countries, such as King Wei of Qi, Qi in the era of King Xuan of Qi, and the current Zhao State.

Qin is the most greedy overlord. Qin King Yingji did not intend to take Han Wei's two younger brothers to attack the enemy, but planned to swallow Han Wei directly! Due to Bai Qi's existence, Qin's plan was almost successful until he met Zhao Kuo.

The Battle of Changping, the Battle of Li, and the two battles of Zhao Kuo defeated Qin State to lose its territory. Now he has to re-take the path of hegemony and take Han and Wei’s two younger brothers to attack Qin State! Zhao State is not without Qi State, Yan State and Chu State issued invitations, but among these three countries Qi State and Chu State are self-deprecating and unwilling to follow Zhao State to be younger brothers, while Yan State is located in a remote northeastern place and is completely lazy to get involved in the Battle of Hedong County, thousands of miles away, so only Zhao, Han and Wei, the "Three Jins" united to attack Qin.

Zhao Kuo was not dissatisfied with this. You should know that Zhao Kuo’s initial request was actually simpler - as long as no one interfered with the single-handed challenge between Zhao and Qin.

That's it, but Zhao Kuo, the helper of Han and Wei, naturally would not refuse.

Just as he brought the Zhao army across the Zhang River, Zhao Kuo saw the Wei general Jin Bi who had already been waiting here with 50,000 Wei troops.

Although there is a despicable word in the name, Jin Bi is not despicable at all, but tall and handsome. When she smiles, she is even more infectious: "Jin Bi has long admired Wu Xinjun's name, and it is really a blessing to be able to play under Wu Xinjun's command in this battle!"

Zhao Kuo looked at Jin Bi in front of him, his face a little complicated for a moment.

This Jin Bi is a famous historical book. It is a villain who was shot directly by Xinlingjun's disciple Zhu Hai with a sledgehammer in the story of the famous Xinlingjun's "stealing the talisman to save Zhao".

However, in this time and space, Zhao State has won the Battle of Changping, so the Qin army cannot take advantage of the victory to march to encircle Handan, and it is even more impossible for Xinlingjun to save Zhao.

From this perspective, Zhao Kuo did save Jin Bi's life! The strange thought in Zhao Kuo quickly disappeared, and a smile appeared on his face and held Jin Bi's hand affectionately: "Where is it, the Great Zhao and Wei are called the Three Jins together, and they are brothers, so they should support each other.

What are you not under your command? You are so serious, but you are so serious!"

The two sides made some polite decisions and then joined forces, and the 250,000 troops were in a mighty way towards the southwest.

Six days later, the Zhao and Wei coalition forces arrived at the Yewang City of Han.

Here, Zhao Kuo was naturally warmly welcomed by the Koreans, and South Korean general Han Zhou led 50,000 Korean troops to join Zhao Kuo.

In this way, the army under Zhao Kuo reached a total of 300,000! The number of 300,000 seems to be 100,000 less than the 400,000 in the Battle of Changping, but you should know that during the Battle of Changping, the country's efforts were the ones that Zhao had sent all the men who could be recruited to Changping, so 300,000 is actually a very amazing number.

Take Bai Qi as saying that during the Battle of Yique, Bai Qi had only 150,000 Qin troops under his command, and during the Battle of Yan and Ying, Bai Qi had only 80,000 people under his command. It was not until the Battle of Changping that Bai Qi commanded a war of more than 200,000 for the first time.

Therefore, Zhao Kuo was very satisfied! After the Three Kingdoms coalition forces completed the joint command, Zhao Kuo immediately summoned all the generals in the army and began to study and arrange the next march route.

In the main account, Zhao Kuo stood in front of a giant map, looked around at the generals present, and talked freely with the wooden stick in his hand as an instruction.

"Everyone, first of all, we must continue to march southwest, cross the river from Mengjin, pass through Luoyi of the Emperor of Zhou and continue to march westward."

Zhao Kuo's wooden stick fell at the next place: "At this point, it is Mianchi.

We want to divide the troops here!"

After Zhao Kuo finished speaking, the many generals present couldn't help but look unexpected on their faces.

Someone couldn't help asking: "General Zhao Kuo, isn't our goal to attack Hedong?

Why divide the troops?"

Zhao Kuo smiled slightly and said, "This question is a good question.

In fact, the reason is very simple, because everyone sees it here - Wusai! Have you seen it?

This is the easternmost border of the Qin people today. I need a reliable general to take this place for me! Where is General Le Cheng!"

General Zhao State Le Cheng came out of the line in response and said in a deep voice: "The last one is here!"

Zhao Kuo stared at Le Cheng and said slowly: "Once our main force crosses the river from the Mianchi area and enters Hedong County, the Qin army is likely to leave from Wusai East and block the retreat of our army directly! So I will give you 30,000 troops. You have to take Wusai down and hold it firmly, so that the Qin people have any chance to cut off our retreat. Can you do it?"

As the saying goes, you should think about defeat before you have to worry about victory. This is exactly what Zhao Kuo did at this time.

No matter when you can leave a way out, you still have to leave a way out.

The courage to burn the boat is of course worthy of praise, but the result of the failure of burn the boat is that people are directly killed and there is no chance to make a comeback! Faced with Zhao Kuo’s questions, Le Cheng thrust his chest and said loudly: “Please rest assured Wu Xinjun, the general must guard this passage and will never give Qin people any chance!” Zhao Kuo nodded and smiled and said, “Very good, as long as you block this passage of huhan, we can enter Hedong County with confidence and boldness!”

After waiting for a while, the chief general of Wei, Jin Bi couldn't help but ask: "Wu Xinjun, what about the combat plan after crossing the big river (Yellow River) and entering Hedong County?"
Chapter completed!
