Daqin: Zulong's Traveling Frog

Chapter 78

Qin Wangzheng opened the system mailbox, only to see silk in front of him.

Spreading out the silk, Qin Wangzheng's eyes flashed with surprise, and he immediately smiled.

The specialties sent by the little slaves were sent to the Handan Mansion of the State of Zhao, and the State of Zhao was able to map them.

On the map, rivers intersect, mountains rise and fall, and cities of all sizes are all under the eye of King Qin.

Qin Wangzheng caressed Kanyu map lightly, could no longer restrain the joy on his face, and laughed loudly: "God help me too!"

A large-scale attack on the State of Zhao, and the main force of the State of Zhao has been transferred to the State of Yan, and the Qin army will hardly encounter much resistance.

Since there is no large-scale battle on the battlefield, the role of spies is highlighted.

Sun Tzu pointed out in the Art of War that in addition to the right time, place and people, the five types of spies (causal, internal, anti, dead, and living) must be used rationally in order to win every battle.

Because of the time, that is to use ordinary people in the enemy's country to know the whereabouts of the enemy's troops, know the nearby mountains and rivers, know the local customs, know the weather conditions, and so on.

On the other hand, that is to buy the enemy's spies for my use, not only to know the other party's actions, but also to spread false news to confuse the opponent.

Dead time, that is, risking death, passing our intelligence to our spies.

In life, it is equivalent to scouts, spying on local actions.

Wang Jian and Huan Jue, two veteran generals, in addition to strategizing on the battlefield, they are also good at using spies and spying on intelligence, which is why they have won every battle.

The Qin army attacked Zhao State on a large scale. Without being confronted by the main force, they reused the countryside to spy on geography, weather and other information.

But to buy the countryside, it is natural to lure them for profit, and Xiaozhinu's geomancy map properly solved this problem. Qin Wangzheng can know the geography and cities of Zhao State without spending a penny.

When Qin Wangzheng was happy, he ordered people to copy many copies and send them to the military camp to prepare for the next year's war.

Zhao Wangyan was completely unaware of the potential crisis and was still transferring the effective forces in Zhao State to the banks of the Yishui River.

Pang Nuan held a military talisman, and was about to pour his blood into the war to pacify Yan State in one fell swoop.

King Xi of Yan was dumbfounded when he heard the news that the Qin State had stopped moving, and repeatedly sent the prime minister to lead him to discuss peace.

But they were all rejected by Zhao Wangyan. What Zhao State wanted was not just a mere hundred miles of Yan State, but thousands of miles of land!
And the Xinzheng Palace in South Korea.

After learning that Qin Wangzheng was determined to annex South Korea, Han Wangan's eyes darkened and he collapsed to the ground.

Zhang Ping rushed up to the high platform, helped Han Wangan up, and shouted, "Where is the imperial physician?"

More than a dozen imperial physicians dressed in sackcloth and carrying herbal baskets rushed into the palace and carried Han Wangan out of the hall.

After an hour of treatment, Han Wangan woke up from the hospital bed. He entrusted the power of the court to Zhang Ping and asked him to help South Korea through the crisis.

Seeing Han Wangan's seriously ill body, Zhang Ping coughed from time to time, and his voice became hoarse, so he agreed.

But Zhang Ping had no way to retreat from the enemy. He had no choice but to pay tribute.

Back in his mansion, Zhang Ping was out of breath and smashed around.

Zhang Ping's wife raised her eyebrows and asked the reason. Zhang Ping's eyes glowed coldly, and said: "Qin Wangzheng recruited a large army into Hangu, and in the spring of the coming year, he will annex South Korea in one fell swoop!"

After hearing this, Zhang Ping's wife also turned pale with fright, knelt on the ground without saying a word, her whole body trembled.

But Zhang Ping's eldest son, Zhang Liang, smiled faintly.

In a rage, Zhang Ping wanted to take off Zhang Liang's pants and beat Zhang Liang, but Zhang Liang shook his head and said, "Father, you are wrong, the Qin army will not attack South Korea!"

Zhang Ping questioned and told about the signing of the agreement between Qin and Zhao, but Zhang Liang didn't think so, and shook his head one after another: "Father! The covenant is only virtual, and the benefits are real!"

Zhang Ping and his wife were slightly taken aback, their eyes focused on Zhang Liang, but Zhang Liang did not feel nervous, and continued: "Although South Korea has violated King Qin's prestige, South Korea is no longer able to fight anymore, and it is no longer a threat to Qin State!"

"But once Zhao State annexes Yan State, its territory will double, which is a threat from Qin State!"

"Although the two countries of Qin and Zhao reached an alliance agreement, Zhao State gave Qin the two cities, but Qin State did not want it. From this, it can be seen that what Qin State wants is not just fifty miles, but five hundred miles of Zhao State's fertile land!"

The facts are also just as analyzed by Zhang Liang, once the two countries of Yan and Zhao go to war, the Qin army will renege on the covenant and annex the lands of Zhao.

Zhang Ping was shocked. He didn't expect Zhang Liang to be able to see Qin's true purpose at such a young age. He couldn't help sighing: "My son is very talented, and he is very similar to your father!"

Zhang Liang showed an embarrassed smile, and said, "Father's words are absolutely true! South Korea only needs to continue to profess its vassals and cede land to negotiate peace!"

Zhang Ping sent envoys to the state of Qin to lobby the king of Qin.

Qin Wangzheng saw that South Korea gave him land and gold, silver and jewelry, so he agreed temporarily.

The cold winter is coming as expected, and the majestic Zhangtai Palace has already been covered with heavy snow. Besides the civil and military officials, there are also young slaves and briquettes who accompanied Qin Wangzheng through the cold winter.

The improved briquettes were also popularized in the Qin State under the order of Qin Wangzheng, allowing the people to survive the winter safely.

Although winter is cold, it is fleeting.

After a winter of recuperation, Zhao Wangyan quickly reorganized the army and ordered the army to cross the Yishui River.

Pang Nuan once entered the court as an official during the reign of King Wuling of Zhao. Later, Li Dui of Zhao State took control of the government, causing many wise ministers to stay away from Zhao State.

Later, Pang Nuan studied under He【he】Guanzi, and followed him to learn the art of Huang Lao.

After coming out of the mountain, Pang Nuan was no longer the generation who sat around and talked about the Tao and talked about wars on paper. When Ju Xin attacked Zhao Guo, it was the best proof.

Therefore, Zhao Wangyan confidently handed over the military power to Pang Nuan, and handed over the main force of Zhao State except the Great Wall Army to Pang Nuan, and asked him to attack Yan State.

Yan Wangxi also sent troops to guard Yishui, but the 60 main force of Yan State had already been wiped out by Zhao State, and Lejian, the famous general of Yan State, was also detained by Zhao State.

Therefore, Pang Nuan's momentum was like a broken bamboo, and he took down the important military towns of Yan State-Li and Yang in one fell swoop.

Yan Wangxi sent envoys to seek peace several times, but Pang Nuan refused. In desperation, Yan had no choice but to fight to the death.

It's a pity that Yan State didn't have a main force, and the shit was beaten by Pang Nuan. When Yan State was about to perish, the Shandong countries were indifferent!
Yan Wangxi was on the verge of despair, and asked the wizard to pray in the palace every day, and the gods descended from heaven.

Those who were far away in Zhangtai Palace learned that Zhao State was attacking the city and seizing territory all the way, and a fierce battle was going on. Qin Wangzheng keenly grasped the opportunity and sent out tiger and wolf troops.

The 20-strong army of the Qin Army was divided into two groups, one led by Wang Jian and the other led by Huan Jue, and invaded the State of Zhao.
