Chapter 299

In the two decisive battles between the state of Qi and the two countries of Yan and Zhao, they were both victorious with less victory.

Therefore, hundreds of officials and even all the people have great confidence in Gu Min and Zhao Yan sending troops this time.

But on the tenth day after the dispatch of troops, the battle report was sent back to Qi State, and all the officials were stunned. The 50,000-strong army led by Gu Min was actually defeated by Qin Baxian. General Gu Min died in battle.

Although Gu Min was a general of Zhao State, his art of warfare was not weak. What's more, Song Yan taught him the method of cultivation, and he reached the innate level under his training, but he was still defeated by Qin Baxian.

Baiguan got the news that Gu Min was defeated, but he didn't know how he was defeated.

However, Song Yan obtained detailed information. After reading the battlefield news sent by the spies, he had to sigh that Qin Baxian was indeed the son of the plane, and he was lucky.

Gu Min is a veteran with a calm personality.

When he led his troops into the territory of Yan State, he did not rush to attack Qin Baxian, but adopted a step-by-step method of fighting, and within a few days, he regained a county town.

But he didn't expect that Qin Baxian had dug a tunnel from a tree in the county town to the outside of the city.

Therefore, after Gu Min's army was stationed in the county town, Qin Baxian ordered someone to sneak into the city through the tunnel and secretly burned the Qi army's food and grass.

It has to be said here that Qin Baxian's luck is beyond heaven.

After igniting the grain, the gunpowder store was ignited.

And because the food and grass were burned, Gu Min personally went to command the Qi soldiers to put out the fire, and the gunpowder depot exploded at that moment. Even if Gu Min had a high level of cultivation, he could not withstand the power of the explosion of tens of thousands of kilograms of explosives, so he was bombed on the spot. die.

At the same time, thousands of Qi soldiers fighting the fire were also killed.

There was a big explosion in the city. Qin Ba saw the opportunity first. Taking advantage of the civil strife of Qi soldiers, he should open the city gate and throw the soldiers into the city in one fell swoop.

With the death of the head coach, Qi Bing seemed to have lost his backbone. In addition, Qin Baxian entered the city just at this time, so Qi Bing did not have any effective resistance at all, so he defeated the city and left.

Fortunately, Gu Min also had a capable lieutenant who managed to gather 30,000 remaining soldiers.

But lacking food and grass, he could no longer fight against Qin Baxian, but fled to Qi with 30,000 remnants.

Putting down the information, Song Yan secretly sighed, what kind of shit did Qin Baxian have, to send someone to burn food and grass and set the gunpowder store on fire.

On the other hand, Zhao Yan did not disappoint Song Yan.

On the tenth day, the two counties have been retaken for Zhao, and Mengfeng, a veteran of Qin, has been defeated.

Thinking of this, Song Yan felt that it was necessary to remind Zhao Yan to make him fireproof and waterproof for the gunpowder store, so as not to repeat the mistakes of Gu Min.

The defeat of Gu Min made Qi very disappointed.

The ministers and generals gathered in the General's Mansion again, asking the General to make up his mind.

At this meeting, Song Yan issued two orders.

First, send 50,000 soldiers and horses to meet the 30,000 remaining soldiers. Second, send another 30,000 elites to Zhao Yan's side. Since Gu Min's side is defeated, he will give up temporarily and use his strength first. Recover the land for Zhao State.

However, at this meeting, some people expressed the hope that the general would lead troops to expedition in person.

However, Song Yan refused. He would leave this world as long as he completes the task. Therefore, he did not want Qi to rely too much on him, which is why he chose to delegate power in the past few months.

Otherwise, when all the officials and the general public have developed the habit of relying on him, and after he leaves, what will Qi State do?

On the other hand, Qin Baxian also gained a new level of fame because of his defeat of Gu Min, the general of the Qi State, and faintly surpassed Song Yan in the limelight.

A few days later, the 30,000 remnants of Qi State were led back to Qi State.

Song Yan personally met the remnants of the soldiers and gave them some encouragement.

As for the dead soldiers, Song Yan was not stingy, and ordered the local officials to complete the statistics within ten days and distribute the compensation to the deceased's home.

At the same time, the envoy of the Qin state came to Linshui County.

The emissary of the Qin state was Wu Yan, the vice-chancellor of the Qin state.

Wu Yan came to the General's Mansion alone after meeting King Jiang Dan of Qi.

General's Mansion, the parlour.

Song Yan took a cup of tea and drank it slowly, but Wu Yan, who was sitting next to him, talked freely, spitting everywhere, and his tone was sometimes excited and sometimes high.

If you put it into the real world, it will definitely become a very famous speaker.

After talking for a full hour, Wu Yan stopped and looked at Song Yan and said, "How do you feel about the advice given by the general?"

In this hour, Wu Yan mainly emphasized how powerful Qin is. Qi and Qin are enemies, and they will only lose both. Therefore, he persuaded Song Yan to cooperate with Qin and jointly divide up the two countries of Yan and Zhao.

"Not much." Song Yan said lightly.

"General, please listen to me...!"

Seeing Wu Yan's tendency to talk at length again, Song Yan raised his hand, and at the same time, his slightly lazy body suddenly sat up straight: "I've exhausted all the troops of Yan and Zhao, why do you cheapen Qin State? In other words, if Qin's troops and horses are returned to Qin, and all the territories of Yan and Zhao are returned, and Qin Ba is handed over to Qi for disposal, I can let go of the past, otherwise, Qin will just wait to destroy the country!"

"what?"

Hearing Song Yan's request, Wu Yan couldn't help but get angry no matter how well-mannered he was: "General, don't you think your conditions are too excessive? You know, my country of Qin is not weaker than that of Qi, once the war begins. It's not good for either country!"

Song Yan said indifferently: "Then do whatever you want! In short, I will only give you the opportunity to consider for ten days. After this time, I will launch the power of the whole country to attack Qin!"

Hearing Song Yan's threat, Wu Yan couldn't help but turn pale with anger: "General, you are too arrogant. Although I admit that you are good at leading troops, I also have military geniuses in Qin who don't need you to be weak...!"

"Come on, see off!"

After listening to Wu Yan's nonsense for an hour, Song Yan had long been impatient, and was in the mood to continue listening.

"General, you will regret your decision today!"

Before leaving, Wu Yan shouted to Song Yan.

The next day, Song Yan sent a thousand wolf cavalry troops to the battlefield, handed it over to Zhao Yan, and gave him his life. Within ten days, the Qin army led by Meng Feng must be driven out of Zhao State.

Zhao Yan did not live up to Song Yan's expectations, and with the help of the wolf cavalry, in just seven days, he recaptured all the territory that Zhao State had lost, and in several battles, he killed no less than 20,000 Qin soldiers. .

Mengfeng's failure made Qin realize that Qi was not as easy to bully as imagined.

In desperation, the King of Qin issued an order, ordering Qin Baxian to temporarily stop attacking the State of Yan, and let him lead his troops into the State of Zhao to deal with Zhao Yan.

Under Qin Baxian's attack, in addition to the capital, the state of Yan was left with only one county town, and in ten days at most, the state of Yan would officially perish.

But the King of Qin had a message.

In this regard, Qin Baxian felt very unwilling, and was planning to go against the will of the King of Qin and beat down the State of Yan first.

At this moment, the female prime minister Ji Yuxi also ordered someone to send the news.

Qin Baxian could ignore King Qin's orders, but he would not ignore Ji Yuxi's orders, so he had no choice but to withdraw his troops and turn to Zhao.
