Chapter 109 Post-war reflection

The Qi and Zhao armies discovered that the Chu army had retreated, and rushed out of the city to pursue them. However, along the way they could only see the ruts and horse hoof prints left by the Chu army. It seems that the Chu army not only left in the middle of the night, but also

Moving very fast. In this case, the Qi army's goal in September was no longer to pursue, but to send troops to recover the lost areas.

Counties, along the way, they brought Jibei, Xuejun and Dongjun back under their control, but now the people's livelihood in the three counties is in decline, with ten houses and nine empty houses, and only some old, weak, women and children are left.

.Looking at the several formerly prosperous counties that were destroyed by the Chu people, the Qi people wished that the Chu people would show up now and let them kill them.

Lian Hai looked at the current situation of the three counties of Qi State and said to the commander-in-chief of the Qi army: "Since the Chu people have retreated, our Zhao army should go back. I hope that in the future, Qi State will not forget the promise we made when we asked for troops."

Food, farewell!" After saying that, he led tens of thousands of troops and left. The Qi envoy mentioned a few days ago that he would cede Dongjun to the Zhao people.

He didn't mention anything about it. Because he knew that the current Dongjun was just empty land, with a population of less than a thousand, and the city had been robbed by the Chu people. If he took Dongjun now, not only would he not get any benefits, but he would also suffer

It left Handan with a heavy burden, so he simply threw the burden back to Qi people.

At this point, the first war between Qi and Zhao finally ended, which also strengthened the confidence of both sides in joining forces. The myth that the Chu army had been undefeated since the uprising was also broken by this war. What awaits them will be

More and bigger wars.

A pigeon flew across the sky and entered the city of Shangjun. After Peng Hong took off the letter tied to the pigeon's leg, he went straight to Fusu. "Prince, I didn't expect that Qi and Zhao really joined forces to fight against Chu Yi.

War, and also defeated the Chu people." Peng Hong handed the letter to Fusu and said happily.

Fusu received the news from Linzi of Qi State, read it over and said: "I can't believe that Zhao people will muster up such courage this time. It seems that Qi and Zhao can indeed defeat Qin and Chu by joining forces.

When the powerful countries have a battle, please come and invite General Meng, Mr. Chen, and General Han."

After a while, three people arrived one after another, and Fusu handed the letter to the three of them. After all three of them had read it, Fusu asked: "The reason why I revealed the alliance between Qi and Zhao to the Chu people that day was to make Chu

People can send troops to destroy Qi or Zhao, and at the same time let Chu's own strength

The strength of the Three Kingdoms was greatly damaged, and Qin saw the strength of Chu's military and was afraid of them. In the end, Qin and Chu fought so that we could reap the benefits. But now it seems that although the three kingdoms are at war, Qi and Zhao defeated Chu.

There is a deviation in what we imagined, what do you think?"

Chen Ping said with a smile: "Actually, the Chu people gave the Qi people a huge blow. Dongjun, Xuejun, and Jibei counties used to be prosperous places, but now they have been devastated by the war. Within a year and a half, there will be no hope of returning to China."

Returning to the old view, with only the two counties of Jiaodong and Linzi remaining, the people of Qi can only defend but not attack."

Meng Tian also said: "Moreover, the Chu people will definitely be dissatisfied when they are defeated. After they rest, they will definitely raise their troops and launch another attack on Qi and Zhao. Even if the Chu people swallow this breath, I am afraid that Qi, Zhao and Chu will not be able to accept it in the future."

It is bound to become a conflict. As long as their relationship remains like this, the threat from the three countries to us will basically be non-existent."

"It's just a small profit for us, won't we get bigger benefits this time?" Fusu asked.

Han Xin always gave way to Meng and Chen first, and then he finally asked the questions that neither of them had asked. This time was no exception: "Although the Chu people were defeated at Linzi City this time, their

However, the military strength and ambitions have been completely exposed, which may attract the attention of the Qin people. The Qin people certainly do not want to see the Chu State threatening their own existence. If Qin's previous attacks on Chu were just to conquer rebellion, then this

This time they will definitely see Chu as their biggest enemy and send troops to attack. In this way, the Qin people will temporarily put aside your actions, prince, and my going to the county to conquer several border counties.

This is one opportunity to continue to grow; secondly, once Qin and Chu start a war, the strength of both sides will be greatly depleted. I, Shangjun, can just watch the pros and cons of both sides clearly, and make adequate preparations to deal with them in the future.

Prepare; thirdly," Han Xin looked at a few people who were listening to his analysis carefully and said with a smile, "Judging from the conflicts within the Qin court that I have seen these days, Zhao Gao and Hu Hai are already incompatible with each other.

Once Qin sends a large army to attack Chu this time, it will inevitably lose its internal balance. Qin will be the most vulnerable when there is a struggle both internally and externally. And the prince just happens to raise troops to take advantage of the situation, and then Xianyang will be at his fingertips.

Already."

"Okay, I didn't expect that General Han would give us so many opportunities for the same thing." Fusu and others laughed, and then Meng Tian asked: "Then what should we do next?

"

"There is nothing to do, just wait for the opportunity to come, defend our territory at the same time and train our troops to prepare to attack Qin. In short, just one word - wait!"

Fusu nodded and said, "What General Han said is true, so let's wait a little longer."

Therefore, Fusu Fang continued to keep a low profile after Qi Zhao defeated the Chu army, waiting for the opportunity to come.

Nearly half a month after the war between Qi Zhao and Chu ended, Qin people knew the result of this battle.

"Hahahaha, well fought, well defeated, and well won!" Hu Hai burst into laughter after hearing the news. "It will be really satisfying if all these rebels kill each other." He said loudly.

Laugh.

Ziying, who was on the side, stepped forward after Hu Hai's laughter finally stopped and asked: "Why is the emperor so happy about the war between their three kingdoms?"

"Shouldn't I be happy? The Chu people were so arrogant because they thought they defeated the White Squad. This time they finally tasted the taste of defeat. Even if Qi and Zhao won, it would probably be a miserable victory. I also heard that Qi and Zhao had a miserable victory.

The three counties of Chu have all been slaughtered by the Chu people. Doesn't this make me happy?" Hu Hai glanced sideways at Ziying and asked, feeling a little dissatisfied that Ziying disturbed him while he was in the mood.

But Ziying didn't seem to see Hu Hai's face and continued to ask: "But the emperor needs to know that these are rebellious officials and traitors. It is indeed gratifying that they attack each other, but it also shows that they do not take our country, the Qin Dynasty, in their eyes at all.

Let me ask you, if they really regard me, Da Qin, as their opponent, why would they attack each other and fight to the death?"

"Huh?" Hu Hai was stunned after hearing this, and then he understood the meaning of Ziying's words. He turned from joy to anger and said: "Indeed, they really don't take me, Da Qin, in their eyes. They dare to show up under my eyes."

They are still attacking each other down there, it seems that I, Da Qin, want to show them how powerful we are."

"The Emperor's Holy Judgment!" Ziying immediately praised, "In my opinion, this is a great opportunity for our Great Qin to regain Qi, Chu, and Zhao."

"How do you say this?" Hu Hai was a little confused.

"Let's talk about Zhao first. Although the Zhao people won this time, the army must have suffered a lot of damage. In addition, the Zhao people now only have one county in Handan. It is the best thing to destroy them at this time; and Qi

As the emperor said, all three counties were destroyed by the Chu people. Now there are only two counties. Both the people's morale and the military's morale are far worse than before. Wherever our Qin Heavenly Soldiers go, they will definitely be unable to resist; as for Chu

After this great defeat at the hands of Qi and Zhao, the people of the country must have been shaken, and I heard that their country was also divided into two forces, one headed by Xiang Liang and the other headed by Qu Dou. Originally, they had always been

In the past, Xiang Qiang surrendered to the weak, but this time Xiang Liang's nephew Xiang Yu was defeated in Qi. This will definitely give Qu Dou an opportunity. They have lost the external battle, and the internal fighting is endless. As long as my army suppresses the situation, they will definitely be defeated.

They made a big mess."

"What you said makes some sense, but in your opinion, who should I send to conquer the Three Kingdoms?"

"Although these three countries all have their weaknesses, they cannot be defeated by just sending any general. Therefore, I believe that General Zhang Han should be sent there."

When Hu Hai heard that he was about to send Zhang Han there, he shook his head and said, "No, General Zhang is the most important force that ensures the stability of Xianyang. How can we just send him out casually? If he leaves and Zhao Gao takes the opportunity to murder me, then I will regret it."

It’s too late.”

Ziying had long known that Hu Hai would react this way after hearing his suggestion, and said hurriedly: "In fact, the emperor doesn't want to think about why General Zhang was able to suppress Zhao Gao and others? He relied on his military exploits back then. But the emperor

However, General Zhang has been allowed to sit in Xianyang these days. His military exploits will gradually be forgotten. One day, General Zhang's power will weaken, and Zhao Gao will still be disadvantageous to the emperor by then. So why not let him go now?

He has made many military exploits. And now that there are ministers in Xianyang City, the emperor's safety will be guaranteed." Seeing that Hu Hai was still hesitant, Ziying continued: "The emperor can also issue an edict first and ask Zhao Gao to send people to help him.

To get rid of this trouble in Su, he can send his own strength to the city before ordering General Zhang to go out. In this way, with his ministers by his side and Zhao Gao's strength weakened, the emperor won't have to worry about him."

Hu Hai was moved by his words and nodded: "Okay, let's do what you said. You can convey Zhao Gao's intention to deal with Fusu on my behalf." After saying this, Hu Hai suddenly thought of

What did he say, and then asked: "In your opinion, which of the three kingdoms of Qi, Chu and Zhao is better to be destroyed first by our great Qin?"

After hearing this, Zi Ying just wanted to laugh. Before he sent out the troops, he thought about how to fight. The emperor was really anxious. But he didn't dare to let Hu Hai see his smile, so he lowered his head in thought. After a while,
