Chapter 57 Section 3 speed battle

The King of Yan had no choice but to send envoys to lobby the King of Qin when he got the information that Zhao Guo was about to commit an attack.The envoy passed through the state of Zhao and was detained by Zhao Wangyan.The envoy said: "Qin and Zhao are one, and the world obeys. Now the minister envoys Qin, and Zhao is attached to him. Qin and Zhao have Qi. Qin and Zhao have Qi, the world will not obey, and Yan will not be ordered. And the minister It is no harm for Zhao Zhi to attack Yan." The envoy's words are simply looking for words without words, and they are not convincing.Fortunately, Zhao Wangyan was full of ambition and showed the demeanor of a winner in advance. He thought that the prisoner who had just been captured had the right to make a phone call, so he released the envoy.

When the envoy arrived in Xianyang, he saw King Qin Yingzheng, and said: "The King of Yan heard that Qin merged with Zhao, and the envoy of King Yan congratulated Qianjin." Yingzheng pretended to be surprised and said, "Husband Yan has no way, my envoy Zhao Youzhi, what's your congratulations?" The envoy replied: "I heard that when Zhao was in full swing, the south neighbor was Qin, and the north was Quyang, Yan. Take it. Now the king sends Zhao Bei to unite Yan, and Yan and Zhao work together, so they will no longer be subject to Qin. Stealing is the king's trouble."

Ying Zheng nodded solemnly, but his heart was full of joy.As expected, the envoy of Yan State came to ask for help.The widows of Yan State need to be rescued, but as for how to save them, it is up to you, Yan State. Yingzheng and Li Si's plan is: Back then, Sun Bin besieged Wei and rescued Zhao.Now, Qin is attacking Zhao and saving Yan. Hearing this plan, the envoy sighed, "Qin bullied Yan. Qin attacked Zhao Zhishi in the name of saving Yan. Now that Zhao is destroyed, how can Yan survive? I humiliate my mission and have no face to return." He drew his sword and committed suicide. Do not return to Yan.

Qin Jun got the reason, so he aggressively attacked Zhao.Huanjuan and Yang Duan reconciled with the army and left from Dongjun.Wang Jianjun, from Shangdang.Attacked from both sides, the military situation was critical, Zhao Wangyan hurriedly called Pang Nuan back to the army. At the beginning of Zhao Wangyan's accession to the throne, he made Le Cheng replace Lian Po as a general, but Lian Po ignored the king's order and attacked Le Cheng openly. Le Cheng was defeated, and Lian Po also fled to Wei.Now, Pang Nuan is self-reliant as a famous general, as arrogant and indulgent as Lian Po, and also has a large army deep into the territory of Yan. The Yan army is weak and unable to resist.The achievement of destroying a country is an ultimate temptation for any general.Therefore, Pang Nuan disobeyed the king's order and refused to return to his teacher, making it even more urgent to attack Yan.He also knew that Zhao Guo behind him was being attacked by the Qin army, but he was willing to take a gamble to see who could attack faster.

On Pang Nuan's side, the momentum was indeed overwhelming, but the progress of Qin Jun's side was not slow at all. When Pang Nuan captured Shaoliang of Yan State, Wang Jianjun captured Yanyu and Fuyang of Zhao State. When Pang Nuan conquered Li in the State of Yan, Huan Jue and Yang Duan and his army captured the six cities of Hejian in the State of Zhao. When Pang Nuan conquered Yangcheng in Yan State, the Huanju army captured the two cities of Zhao's Ye and Anyang. As a result, Pang Nuan didn't dare to gamble any more, and hurried back to Shi Nan Yuan, but it was too late.Under the tenacious resistance of the Qin army, Pang Nuan's tragic efforts to regain the lost ground could only end in failure.

From the abstract text description alone, we may not be able to feel the results of Qin's battle concretely.Only when we turn over the map will we realize how brilliant Qin's achievements are.Qin State obtained Yanyu and Fuyang, and completely controlled the Zhangshui Basin to the west of Handan.After obtaining the six cities in Hejian, all the cities in Hejian will also belong to Qin.After obtaining Ye and Anyang, Qin's army is only a hundred miles away from Handan.After this battle, the outlets to the west, south, and east of Zhao State have been blocked by Qin State. It can be said that Zhao State has since lost the ability to actively attack and can only be in a passive defense situation.

Pang Nuan couldn't escape the blame for Zhao's defeat.A generation of famous generals has been abolished since then.After dealing with Pang Nuan, Zhao Wangyan was still indignant.He has great ambitions. He originally planned to use the power of Qin to annex Yan, so as to strengthen Zhao and accumulate strength so that he can compete with Qin for hegemony in the future.Unexpectedly, the advantage was not taken, but the soldiers were humiliated and the capital was eroded.He cannot forgive himself, he must punish himself.To commit suicide or to commit suicide, that is the question. The battle between Qin and Zhao also had a profound impact on the international situation at that time.Zhao Guo was originally the initiator of He Zong, but he took the lead in betraying He Zong and attacking the allied Yan State.Not to mention that Yan Guo hated it to the bone, even Qi and Chu did not dare to trust Zhao Guo any more.The image of Zhao Guozhi plummeted, and he has been isolated internationally since then.In comparison, although Qin Guo's behavior is not authentic, it is easier to be forgiven than Zhao Guo's treachery.

In deep remorse and self-blame, not long after, Zhao Wangyan died in depression, and his son moved to the throne as Zhao Wang. In the eleventh year of Yingzheng, major events in the world are generally as above.
