After Zhao Chen and his party withdrew to the Qin State, Li Mu also began to focus on the offensives of the Qin army in the north and the south and the Han and Wei countries.
In the fifteenth year of Qin Shihuang and the fourth year of Zhao Wangqian (232 BC), Qin sent out two armies from the north and the south and joined forces with Han and Wei to form a coalition to attack Zhao.
? Li Mu, the commander-in-chief of the Zhao army, decided to concentrate his forces first to attack the Qin army invading from the north. After winning, he would attack the Qin army and the Han-Wei coalition army in the south.
The Zhao army commanded by Li Mu was flexible and fast. It first dealt a heavy blow to the Qin army attacking Fanwu, followed and chased them, drove the Qin army out of the Zhao border, and immediately returned to the south. According to the news, the Qin army left without fighting, and the Qin army in Shangdang and other places also retreated one after another, daring not to fight, and the Qin army failed in its third large-scale attack.
Although the Zhao army was defeated repeatedly under the command of Li Mu, it was difficult to replenish its troops after losses. The existing troops alone could not fight against Qin for a long time, so they had to seek foreign aid immediately.
At this time, Chu and Wei have been weakened, and the relationship between Yan and Zhao is not good. Only by uniting Qi and gaining the support of Qi's manpower and material resources can it compete with Qin.
Qin also noticed Zhao's attempt, and immediately sent a group of strategists to Qi to lobby for activities, trying their best to destroy the alliance between Qi and Zhao, and isolate Zhao.
Qin didn't miss the opportunity, and then launched another large-scale attack.
Under the command of Li Mu, this attack was also resisted with difficulty.
However, at this time, Zhao Jun also had very little military strength left, and the logistical supplies and the replenishment of troops could no longer keep up.
In addition, under the instigation of Qin State, the Han and Wei countries also launched a large-scale attack. They have a large number of troops, but unfortunately they lack generals. It was originally planned that the Qin army and the Han-Wei coalition army would divide into two groups and attack the northern and southern parts of Zhao respectively. As a result, under Li Mu's strategy, the Zhao army concentrated its forces first, and with the momentum of lightning speed, first concentrated its forces to defeat the Qin army's northern offensive.
However, the Han and Wei coalition forces were blocked by the Zhao army in the south and could not advance an inch, and could not support them. As a result, Li Mu turned around after defeating the Qin army. coalition forces.
As a result, it lost its troops and generals, and its strength was greatly damaged, so it had to withdraw to the border of its own country in embarrassment.
In this battle, the Zhao army struggled to resist Qin's offensive with huge casualties. The two countries temporarily stopped their offensive and remained unchanged to the current situation, forming a confrontational scene.
The Qin army occupied most of Zhao in the north and a part in the south. The rest were all withdrawn, deployed in these places, strengthened their defenses, and prepared for the next war against Zhao.
Zhao Guo also stopped the war, and the country's military strength and national power were also greatly damaged this time. The treasury was empty and the national power was greatly reduced. There was no way but to stop the actions of the soldiers and maintain the current situation.
At this time, Zhao Chen also returned to Qin State early after three consecutive days of hard work, joined Wang Jian's army at the frontier, and reported in detail the battles encountered in this reinforcement. Return to camp to rest.
As time passed, Zhao Chen rested in the army camp for more than a month and did not participate in any battles. He could only train soldiers with Gao Shun, Xu Rong and others every day, and replenish the lost troops to send them away. leisure time.
This morning, as usual, Zhao Chen personally supervised the cavalry training on the playground, while Gao Shun and Xu Rong trained the infantry on the other side. Suddenly a messenger sent Wang Jian's military order to command him to command the tent, and he had something to say.
Zhao Chen had no choice but to put down the work at hand, give orders, and go to meet General Wang Jian alone.
At this time, Wang Jian was discussing a new battle plan with a group of generals.
He heard the soldiers tell that General Zhao Chen had come and was waiting outside the camp.
"Let him in quickly! You go down first, the plan is set like this, you should prepare early." Wang Jian asked Zhao Chen to come in, and let the rest of the people retreat.
After they saluted, they took their leave.
"I have seen all the generals." Zhao Chen happened to enter the tent, saw these generals were about to leave the tent, so he quickly saluted and said hello.
"Don't dare, General Zhao is really young and promising, I will resign now, please!" The others did not dare to be careless, and hurriedly returned the courtesy.
"please!"
Do you think why these senior generals are so courteous? Is it because Zhao Chen is loved by Wang Jian?
No, strength is the only way to be respected in the military.
Initially, Zhao Chen gave people the impression that he was a mighty general with high military strength. Now, after a year of fighting in the South and the North, he has made countless meritorious deeds, displayed superb military talents, and astonishing strategies of war.
Li Mu, who is still the most troublesome famous general in Zhao StateHe rescued Qin Jun who was ambushed by his subordinates, and fought with him to the death under his subordinates, so as not to lose the wind, how can we not let them look at you with admiration?
Now Zhao Chen's name can be said to have spread throughout the Qin army, and even the Six Kingdoms have heard of him.
? Even Li Mu introduced him emphatically when he reported to King Zhao, calling him the country's unparalleled general, with impeccable combat power, strategy and art of war.
The evaluation is very high, and he is attached great importance to him, which also makes him enter the eyes of all the big shots.
"General, what is your order?"
After Zhao Chen and the generals had seen the ceremony, they came to Wang Jian and asked respectfully.
In his heart, Wang Jian is Bole, a teacher, and a confidant like a friend who forgets years, so he respects him very much, and he is not disrespectful at all because of his outstanding military achievements. He maintains a very good mentality and is very peaceful. .
"Boy Zhao, here you go, do it, you're welcome." Wang Jian asked him to sit down, Zhao Chen didn't hesitate, sat down directly, and waited for Wang Jian's order respectfully.
"Early this morning, Your Majesty sent an imperial edict asking you to lead your personal guards to visit the capital and reward you for your current military achievements. You must enter Beijing as soon as possible tomorrow morning."
Wang Jian also told him the matter straight to the point.
"General, what about my two lieutenants, Gao Shun and Xu Rong?"
"They still have to stay in the camp and train their soldiers. They can't go together. I will lead the army to go out in a few days. The camp can't be guarded by no one. In addition, the king didn't let them go together. You are the only one. Theirs The reward will be issued directly by edict. You don't have to worry."
Wang Jian also knew what he was worried about, so he spoke directly to dispel his worries.
"General Xie, I finally understand." Zhao Chen said to Wang Jian gratefully.
After formally speaking, they chatted about the current situation and the deployment of the battlefield. After an hour, Zhao Chen retreated to the tent.
As soon as he returned to the camp, he told all the generals what had happened, and told them to train hard and not let him down.
Then began to gather the guards, pack up things, prepare everything, and wait for the early morning of the next day before leaving immediately. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
