"kill……"

The cry of killing sounded like a tsunami. Through the open city gate, countless Qi soldiers rushed into the Gaotang City in front of them.

When the scene in front of him came into view, the deputy general of Qi Army was extremely excited.

Over the years, Qi State has been defeated repeatedly on the battlefield, and large areas of land have been lost to the hands of surrounding countries.

Now, seizing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, they were finally able to lead their army northward and regain the lost territory with their own hands.

After watching with joy the footsteps of the soldiers entering Gaotang City for a long time, the deputy general's eyes immediately turned to the Qi army commander Tian Pan beside him.

"General, Gaotang is back!"

"Yes, I'm back."

Although he didn't appear as excited as the deputy general next to him, the smile hidden at the corner of his mouth still reflected Tian Pan's mood at the moment.

As one of the five capitals of Qi State, Gaotang is also an important defense town in the north, so its importance is self-evident.

The recovery of Gaotang not only meant that Qi had once again deeply penetrated its power north of Jishui, but also meant that the confrontation between Qi and Zhao was no longer one-sided.

Not just Jishui, not just Gaotang, Tian Pan wanted to push the border between Qi and Zhao back to the river line.

His eyes gradually became firm, and he pressed the hilt of the sword at his waist with his left hand. Tian Pan said loudly: "Come to Linzi and report the victory to you. Our army has successfully recaptured Gaotang."

Time waits for no one, now is the best opportunity for Qi to mobilize troops.

Zhao State was deeply involved in a war with Zhongshan State, Wei State was attacking Chu State for Yue State, and Qi State had almost no opponents around it that could play a decisive role in the war situation.

At this time, it is time to make an all-out effort to basically recover the land Qi had previously ceded to Zhao.

That is to say, at the same time that the Qi army commander Tian Pan outside Gaotang City was in high spirits and was preparing to regain the lost territory in one fell swoop;

The guard in Wuyuan City of Zhao State in the north was sitting in the city guard's mansion, looking helpless.

After finally pulling himself out of the depression in his heart, the Zhao Jun guard general immediately spoke slowly to everyone present with a face full of bitterness.

"Everyone, the Yan army outside the city has besieged our Wuyuan for many days. Do you have any countermeasures?"

This question from General Zhao Jun immediately caused some difficulties for the generals present.

For the Yan State, the impression of these Zhao generals was that they were closed and independent.

No matter how turbulent the Central Plains has been over the years, no matter what kind of open and covert attacks have occurred between the countries, the Yan Kingdom is like a beautiful lady from the north who has left the world and is independent.

What they never expected was that the Yan State, which originally seemed harmless to humans and animals, would actually send troops to attack Zhao State at a critical moment.

It was precisely because of such an unexpected situation that Zhao State's response to the Yan army's attack was so slow.

Wuyuan City now no longer has enough troops to resist the 30,000 Yan army outside the city. Now the only thing they can do is to support themselves.

"Report..."

"Reporting to the general, the envoy from the State of Yan is already outside the city gate, requesting an audience with the general."

When the envoy from Yan State asked for an audience, the general of the Zhao army instinctively wanted to refuse, but in the end he had to choose to bow his head.

"please."

Time passed by minute by second, and after all the generals of the Zhao army present had waited for a long time, the envoy of the Yan State in blue robes slowly entered the hall.

"Zi'an, the envoy of Yan, has met the general."

"Why did the envoy Yan come here?"

Upon hearing General Zhao's question, Yan envoy Zian did not hide anything and directly stated his purpose of coming.

"To be honest with you generals, Zian is here not for anything else but to persuade you to surrender."

"Come to persuade me to surrender?" After repeating Zian's intention, General Zhao Guoshou's face immediately darkened, and he said with a bit of toughness, "What if I don't surrender?"

"No surrender? How long can Wuyuan City sustain it?"

"If the information Zian received is correct, whether it is military strength or food, grass and baggage, Wuyuan City is not that sufficient, right?"

The way Yan Shi Zian looked at him and the words he spoke softly made General Zhao Jun shudder.

He only felt that he and Wu Yuancheng had been completely seen through in the eyes of the Yan State envoy.

In fact, Zian did receive specific news from Wuyuan City before arriving, but this news was not provided by Yan Guoxinzuo.

According to legend, this news comes from Zhongshan Kingdom, which is fighting against Zhao State. As for who is behind Zhongshan Kingdom...

Even though his true identity had been revealed to his opponent, General Zhao Jun still wanted to fight hard.

"Even if these are true, so what?"

"Envoy Yan, please don't forget that the strength of Zhao State is far greater than that of Yan State. Aren't Envoy Yan and Duke Yan afraid of Zhao State's revenge in the future?"

"Of course I'm afraid."

As the general of the Zhao army said, Yan State is actually a little weaker than Zhao State.

If the two sides just square up and face a head-on battle, the winner will most likely be Zhao Guo.

It's just that this time Yan State is not fighting alone. Yan State has allies like Qi State and Zhongshan State beside it.

"It's just that now the Zhao State has to face not only the main force of the Zhongshan State, but also the fierce attack of the Qi Army, and how much energy is expended on our Yan State."

"The general is always thinking about Zhao Guo. Will Zhao Guo think about the general and Wuyuan City at this moment?"

The words of the Yan envoy Zian immediately pointed out the predicament of the Zhao army guard at this moment. Now the Zhao State no longer has extra energy to deal with the sudden rise of the Yan State in the north.

His eyes were full of solemnity, his face was full of tangled expressions, and General Zhao Jun's heart was full of hesitation.

War? Or surrender?

…

"boom……"

Heavy slaps sounded in the Zhongshan Army camp outside Haoyi City, and Zhongshan Gong Ji Heng's face was full of excitement.

"Color, color, color!"

After cheering three times in a row, Ji Heng looked around with excited eyes, "Prime Minister, General Long Jia, good news."

"Qi's army of 50,000 soldiers marched northward, and now Gaotang has returned to the hands of Qi;"

"The Yan army's 30,000 soldiers went south, and Wuyuan City has been captured by the Yan army;"

"Coupled with our Zhongshan State, the Zhao State now faces enemies on three sides."

"The situation in our country of Zhongshan can be said to be very good, ah, hahaha!"

Listening to Ji Heng's hearty laughter, Lechi and Long Jia also looked at each other and smiled in the big tent.

"Report..."

Just at this moment, a shout came into the big tent along with the sound of footsteps. Soon after, a messenger hurriedly came to the front of the three people.

"Your Majesty, 30,000 Zhao troops have left Handan and are heading towards Fangfangcheng."

Upon hearing this report, the joy on Ji Heng's face immediately stopped.

Then, he turned his attention to the two people beside him, "Prime Minister, General Long Jia, do you have any good strategies to defeat the enemy?"
