First of all, Huo Wuxian first found an inconspicuous small mountain village, settled down, and used the traitor and his own field investigation to understand the internal terrain of Daqin and the defensive situation in various places, and made a plan.

Avoid the place guarded by Wang Lan and Meng Yi, set out from the mountains, attack in a roundabout way, and directly attack the capital of Great Qin. And split the troops into three teams, one team of 10,000 people, and hit the other two places respectively to distract Daqin's attention.

For whether he can succeed in the sneak attack, increase the chance of victory, and according to reliable intelligence, in five days, Meng Yi, the general of the Qin State who guarded the national capital Xianyue, will leave the national capital. In order to pick it up, Qin Feng, the prince of the Qin State who was far away.

Speaking of Qin Feng, he is also a very outstanding young man, but because he was born a few years late, he lost his fate with the crown prince. Now the opportunity has come, as soon as Qin Shan died, he became the best candidate for the crown prince, and the high-ranking Qin Emperor finally saw his other son, who was also excellent. Therefore, he deliberately sent Meng Yi to pick up the people back.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Huo Wuxie, and whether he can succeed depends on this time. In order to ensure the success of the plan, he first ordered people to dress up as civilians and blend into various cities to facilitate the cooperation between inside and outside, and the number of people was controlled at a few hundred. They are all elites trained by Han Zaixing, and they are all top-grade in terms of body shape and temperament.

It was so obvious that in order not to be so conspicuous, a small number of people could only be sent in first, and the rest would be discussed later. Moreover, their current position is still far from the national capital, and they do not dare to take the big road too ostentatiously, and in terms of marching speed, they have to be slower by a level.

According to Huo Wuxie's calculations, at their current speed, it would take at least seven days to arrive. And during this period, there can be no accidents, fortunately, it takes ten days from departure to return. As long as they are fast enough, they should be able to grab three days.

Without further ado, they are on the move. Huo Wuna's order to the two teams was to focus on destruction and to fight quickly. Each attack should end the battle within two hours, so as not to be surrounded by people, and if it is found that it is too late, we should do everything possible to get out, not to fall in love with the war, and strive to make the greatest noise in the shortest possible time, so as to reduce the pressure of the front-line war.

Five days later, in the territory of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Qing's army had begun to bear fruit, and when they came, they were cautious and fearful. After arriving, they began to fight steadily, and the people everywhere were still very resistant to them at first, but after a period of getting along, most of them were moved by Zhang Qing's actions.

First of all, he swept away corrupt officials, exempted everyone from paying taxes, and divided the land. Nothing is more impressive than profit. After that, he also issued an announcement, saying that he was here to seek justice for those innocent soldiers. Those soldiers left their hometowns and went on an expedition to the Chu State, but they ended up with a tragic ending of being killed by their own people.

The official authorities did not give any explanation for this, and they did not even have the proper name.

Zhang Qing took advantage of this psychology to convince everyone, in fact, everyone is also interested, and wants to find the court to discuss an explanation, but there is a lack of a leader, the people's herd psychology is terrible, once someone is the first bird, then the rest of the people will follow without brains. Even if this person is a foreign aggressor, people are selfish, and they may have national feelings, but this has a major premise, that is, they must not harm their own interests.

For example, the weight of family property, family, and these things is much higher than the general righteousness of the country, which is also the support for the survival of the people.

To put it mildly, no matter who becomes the emperor in the end, they have to rely on their own efforts to dress and eat, all they want is a stability, whoever can give them stability is Mingjun. Especially for those peasants who have little education and a relatively narrow vision, for them, family comes first, but when they learn that their sons and husbands have died. And what a blow it would be when he died at the hands of his own people!

In order to gain fame and strengthen the hearts of those people, Zhang Qing planned to have a hard-to-hard face in this first battle. With 20,000 horses in his hand, he made an invincible image of Great Qin. For the current Han Dynasty, there are really not many outstanding generals, but when they learned that the number of people in Zhang Qing's hands was not much, they wanted to use the advantage of numbers to crush the other party. Therefore, everyone is still very brave for the candidates for this battle, and everyone wants to take this credit.

Because of the urgency of time, the Han Emperor did not think much about it, so he chose a veteran and serious general "Peng Tao" to fight, and ordered nearly 50,000 horses, which is also the authority of the Han Dynasty. For the trust of the Han Emperor, Peng Tao was naturally deeply moved, and when Yang made a military order, he vowed to bring Zhang Qing's head back to restore his life, otherwise he would use his own head to restore his life.

Everyone was envious of this, as if they had seen him return victoriously and become a knight. For this battle, there should be no suspense, but only after the real battle can we know who is higher in the end.

The place Zhang Qing chose this time was also carefully considered, and the village he chose was called "Hekou Village". Directly in front of the village is a valley called "Linxi Valley." "It was the nearest road to the village, and it was said to be a valley, but the road was so wide that fifteen horses passed side by side.

The whole terrain is like a pocket, the village is like a pocket, and the valley is like a pocket mouth, and the rest of the place is mostly mountainous, which is not easy to march, and it is a strategic point that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. In the past, this place was mostly the base camp for grain and grass storage, there was such a natural barrier, no one could capture it in a short time, if it could not be quickly resolved, then within a day, it would be surrounded and killed by the slow army from other places.

This time, they were able to enter so smoothly, thanks to the pressure on the front line, which made the domestic strength of the Han Dynasty far inferior to before. Peng Tao's army had already been assembled, and there was not so much nonsense, so he set off immediately, he had to beat them out when Zhang Qing had just entered and the people's hearts were unstable.

Otherwise, once Zhang Qing has a foothold here, it will be a big trouble for the big man, and his threat is no worse than Bai Yuemian, but in terms of speed, it will take at least two days to get here. Two days of hard work just gave Zhang Qing a chance to prepare.

On the other side, Huo Wuxie's plan, although perfect. But the plan is just a plan after all, and the reality will not be completely according to his script, just after he finished dividing the troops on the front foot, it was less than a day.

A team was discovered on the back foot, and Huo Wuxian was shocked and angry about this, but it was also expected. There were more than 30,000 of them this time, and it was impossible to go completely unnoticed. They must go to the city to replenish their food, otherwise they will not be able to eat enough to rely on the wild fruits in the mountains alone, and this lack of food will affect their combat effectiveness.

The most important thing is that in recent years, Daqin has developed very well, and there are sufficient troops in various places. Since they are wartime, in order to prevent spies, they are all carefully investigated, and as the elite troops of the Han Dynasty, it is naturally easy for people to see the difference. A few times, they were almost discovered, and then they were settled with money.

It's okay to have this situation once or twice, but once the number of times is too much, it is inevitable that you will not meet someone who is not greedy for money. In that case, his plan will be completely frustrated. For this reason, he lived carefully every day, except for necessary purchases, and spent the rest of his time as a wild man in the mountains and forests.

On such a day, it naturally hurt the group of soldiers, no, he had just finished dividing the troops on the front foot, and there were people on the back foot, so he couldn't help but go to the city and wanted to take a good rest.

Such a group of tall and large people, suddenly appeared in the city, and it was easy to become the focus, and then it was discovered, and the local defenders began to resist with all their might, but unfortunately the strength was too bad, and they were advanced into the city.

The city gate was lost, and the back was naturally unguarded, and in just a few hours, a medium-sized city was captured by them, and seeing that things were already like this, they simply went to the designated place to make trouble as planned. Instead, it started here, with this as the center, and marched towards the hinterland of Great Qin, aiming directly at the national capital.

For the willfulness of his subordinates, Huo Wuxian was angry with a tremor in his liver, and he was forced to be helpless, so he could only speed up the march, go to the next place, continue to sneak, and make good use of these people who had been exposed, so as to win opportunities for himself.

Every meter he advances now, there is more hope, if he can do this, sneak all the way to the bottom of the national capital, then he will be considered a victory. For this operation, they have no way back, and the only way is to find a way to capture the imperial city and use Emperor Qin as a hostage in exchange for their safe return to China and victory in the front-line war.

Almost at the same time, Peng Tao's army had already arrived in the valley and sent scouts to investigate. At the same time, he was also patrolling around, and soon he found that something was wrong, that is, in the woods on the inner side of the valley, there were hardly birds rising and falling.

It seems that Zhang Qing is planning to wait for them to go in, and deal with them through ambushes on both sides, from the perspective of the plan, it seems that Zhang Qing's style likes to use terrain and stratagem to win the other party, but Peng Tao sneered at this, and couldn't help but think in his heart: "What generation of famous generals? It's just a name." Such an old-fashioned trick, and I'm embarrassed to show it off, it's really a shame for them Daqin. “

I was thinking about it here, and the following Tanma reported back: "Report, General, there are a large number of people wearing Great Qin military uniforms in the "Hekou Village" ahead, walking back and forth, looking at the number of people should be Qin Army, but they are very strange. ”

"Oh, what's so strange?", Peng Tao asked.

The man replied, "When they saw us, they were very hostile, but they did not arrange their troops or defend themselves, but they were like a bunch of peasants who could not fight." ”

As soon as these words came out, Peng Tao immediately fell into contemplation, and after a while, he understood a little, it must be Zhang Qing who lured those ignorant people to put on Qin military uniforms to be suspicious soldiers. When his own scouting horses and finding out that the Great Qin troops are all in the village, the whole army will enter. At that time, they fought from both sides and caught themselves off guard, which was indeed a good strategy, but it was a pity that his plan had already been seen through by himself.

I can't help but think in my heart, although the plan is good, but he is still inexperienced, if he doesn't expose those birds, maybe he will really rush in, a moment of brain fever, but now...

"Pass my orders...", while thinking, he ordered: "Burn all the mountains and forests around me, doesn't he like to drill the mountains and forests? Then I'll let him have no return!"

"Yes" The people below took the order and left, and then thought of the group of foolish people, and then said: "Send a large army to collect the Great Qin uniform, but those who resist and do not pay will be punished for treason, and they will be killed on the spot!"

"Yes," another man took the command.

Peng Tao didn't have any pity for them, since he wore the military uniform of the Qin State, he was an enemy in his eyes, and he would not be soft on the enemy. It was very difficult for his subordinates to carry out this order, and for the people, the benefits they received were their own property, and it was very difficult to get them back from their hands.

Since it could not be taken back, the conflict naturally occurred, and at the same time, the forests on both sides were also ignited. The people in the valley were even more panicked when they saw that the Han army began to set fire to the mountain, and then the Qin soldiers hidden among the people suddenly said: "The Han has no way, if you want to kill us, let's run!"

As if the words had ignited the fuse of explosives, the whole village was boiling in an instant, and countless people took something to see and ran out quickly. As soon as they ran, the pressure on the Han army increased, and they could only keep sending more people to suppress it, and finally the scene became more and more chaotic, so that they all alarmed Peng Tao, and when he saw the reaction of the people, he couldn't help but be a little stunned, and said in his heart: "I just confiscated my clothes, are they there?"

But he forgot that he was still setting fire to the mountain, and the fire in all directions suddenly doubled the psychological pressure., and the tone and attitude of the Han army when they came to collect the uniforms. If there is more bloodshed, then the matter will be out of control, and there are still people in the middle who maliciously provoke it, and there is the current scene.

For this situation, Peng Tao did not order to send someone to appease, but let it develop, the reason is very simple, he thinks that the Qin army has been trapped in the mountains and burned to death, and before he set off, he boasted that he wanted to go back to Haikou with Zhang Qing's head, and now it is burned to ashes, so go there to find him a head?

If he doesn't have a head, he just uses one mouth to say that he defeated Zhang Qing, even if this is true, then the credibility is not high! Now he has another choice, that is, to cut off the heads of these foolish people to make military merits. This is not the first time he has done this kind of thing, nor is he the first to do it, before he became famous, he once served as a deputy general, and the chief general personally ordered him to carry out this matter for the sake of military merit.

He is very clear about this series of processes, even if this group of fools is not guilty, he can find a way to make up charges for them, not to mention that now, they are wearing Great Qin military uniforms and intend to escape. It's not easy!

As time passed, the escape rate of the people became higher and higher, and the forced Han had to march forward and defend the valley mouth, and Peng Tao was in the army, watching them run in the fire, crying, without the slightest expression. At this moment, Tan Ma came to report: "Report, General! When something is wrong, Zhang Qing has led an army of 10,000 and rushed out of the mountains and forests on the south side! Now he is heading towards the "Linxi Valley," and in about half an hour, we will be able to reach the mouth of the valley and surround us all here!"

"Ahh In fact, he was wrong.

At this time, Zhang Qing was watching this battle on the mountains thousands of kilometers away from here, as the commander, he was not willing to risk his life and do something to charge. These are naturally completed by the soldiers, and he only needs to command properly, looking at Peng Tao, who is cocooning himself at the moment, his heart has no waves.

He had already thought of this plan, and from the beginning all kinds of kindness to the people was a bureau, and then began to give them free clothes. Human nature is greedy, there is the advantage of free and no money, everyone will want to make a profit, as for the consequences, that is a matter of the future, they will not think about it.

In Daqin's military uniform, there is nothing to say in terms of quality, these people, maybe in their lives, have never seen such a good thing, naturally they are full of joy and can't put it down. And for the general who participated in this battle, Zhang Qing got the news through special channels first, judging from his past records, this person is a person who has no one in his eyes and is so happy.

often regards self-righteousness as a treasure book of life, and the best way to deal with such a person is not to ambush him ordinarily, but to lure him to guess. Give him all the hints and let him guess according to his own train of thought, so that he will be convinced.

For example, he deliberately sprinkled some medicinal powder in the forest in the valley, which would make the birds very uncomfortable, so as to leave the forest, to create a false impression that there were ambushes in the mountains and forests, and then to encourage the people to wear Daqin military uniforms for activities.

and promised to give them a new one, then they were naturally reluctant to get rid of it, and in Peng Tao's eyes, all this became a military feat that could move, and in terms of his character, he would definitely not let go of these people.

Coupled with the huge pressure in the country, he didn't have so much time to think, so he obediently fell into the trap, for his actions, Zhang Qing can grasp it very accurately, and the older generation of Peng Tao, but only know to live with a thin credit.

Daqin was in a hurry, and it took less than half an hour to come to the mouth of the valley. In order to find this Tibetan military place, Zhang Qing really took great pains, not only to hide, but also to be close to the battlefield. This in itself is a very contradictory problem, and if you want to hide, you must stay away from the battlefield.

Otherwise, people are not blind or deaf, and if you are more than 10,000 people hiding in this vicinity, people will not be able to find out?

For this reason, he found many people in the village to explore, and finally chose a natural karst cave on the south side of the mountain as a hiding point. In fact, this is also a big gamble, if Peng Tao can be a little more patient, ask the local people, then Zhang Qingke will be finished. As a result, Zhang Qing won the bet, and now he can be regarded as a winner.

Half an hour, whether it is long or not, is enough for the Han army to run out of some people, including Peng Tao, as the main general, he naturally has to command in the rear, so he is closer to the exit.

This time, he only came out with more than 10,000 people, and he confronted the people of Great Qin, one side came prepared, and the other side fled in embarrassment, for such a situation, Peng Tao secretly said: "Not good! Hurriedly ordered: "Order, hold the exit! We must not let the Qin army capture this place, and do not have to defend until all the soldiers come out!"

"Yes!" shouted the Han soldiers who had escaped.

Zhang Qing watched from a distance, and then gave an order to let everyone release "rockets", the so-called rockets are nothing more than arrows, wrapped with flammable materials such as strips of cloth, and then ignited and launched, which is a common trick used in wars everywhere.

Together with the rockets, the Han army suddenly felt the pressure, and there were fires behind and on both sides, and now there were rocket attacks even in front, which made them all scared at once.

Even Peng Tao himself was a little scared of this, and several of the arrows almost hit him, forcing him to retreat.

The so-called soldier bear, a bear, a bear, a nest of bears.

This is the truth, the more at this critical moment of life and death, as the main general, the more you should work hard and move forward bravely. Even he is so greedy for life and afraid of death, so how should the rest of the people get along with themselves? Zhang Qing, who was in the distance, couldn't help but show a smile on the corner of his mouth when he saw this scene.

Because he knows that he has won this battle, he is afraid of the hard, and the hard is afraid of not dying, and the current Qin army is a group of people who do not want to die. The Han side is very afraid of death, for this kind of psychological gap, Daqin is naturally as imposing as a rainbow, and the Han is losing and retreating.

In the end, Daqin retreated back to the valley, looking at the smoke and fire on both sides, Peng Tao regretted not being at the beginning, if he was so eager for quick success, how could he end up like this now. At this time, Zhang Qing was already at the mouth of the valley, erecting a pile of wood, it seemed that it should be a line of defense, in case the big man dared to break through, he would set fire to them and burn them back.

There was a fire on all sides, there was no way to escape, and now they were already forced into a desperate situation, Peng Tao was now nervous, and then a voice came from the valley mouth: "Those who surrender will not die!."

And this voice is getting louder and louder, and after Peng Tao heard it, he fell into deep thought, and then called everyone over, held a meeting, and said: "Please general, we have reached a desperate situation now, and now our decision will affect the lives of our 50,000 soldiers and the people." Whether it is a war or a surrender, please come and discuss. ”

Everyone discussed this, but there was no result, and finally Peng Tao spoke: "My proposal is to surrender, now we are facing Zhang Qing, who is famous for his benevolence and righteousness, he has never killed innocents indiscriminately, if we surrender, as long as the emperor pays some price, then we still have hope of returning to China."

But if we resist to the end, it will really be a dead end!"

For death, everyone is afraid, because of them, the generals who finally got out of the way, have not lived a good life, they are going to die, they are not reconciled. It's just that for the sake of face, no one can say it first, and now someone has put it forward, and it is the supreme leader, then they are naturally desperately attached to fight for a chance to survive for themselves.

Everyone is still convinced of his orders. Then he went out to arrange, Peng Tao, as the main general, naturally wanted to be the first to go out, such a humiliating thing, he was very unwilling to face it, but the situation was like this, he couldn't make a choice, he could only move forward with difficulty.

But one of his advisors stood up and said: General, we can't surrender! We are already the last force that the country can mobilize! Once we surrender, the entire Han will no longer have mobile troops available, and can only defend passively.

Since it is a number of natural dangers and important towns, they are all key places that cannot be lost, can you really bear to see the hinterland of my Great Han Dynasty reduced to a blank place for its Great Qin to act at will?"

For all this, how could Peng Tao not know, but he had a reason to surrender, just glanced at him indifferently, and then ordered someone to take him down and press him to the back of the line, so as not to make trouble.

This person is his confidant, and the two are classmates and friends, but later because of their different family backgrounds, Peng Tao became a general, and he became a strategist, but Peng Tao has always been polite to him, and he has indeed made a lot of contributions. This time, he dared to risk the world's great disregard to confront him face to face, and it was not a big deal.

At most, it just made Peng Tao feel a little unhappy, this person's name is Weng He, who is in his fifties like Peng Tao, but he is wearing Confucian clothes, with a square face and a righteous body, and because of eagerness in his eyes, there seem to be two flames burning. Regarding Peng Tao's move, Weng He protested dissatisfied.

It's a pity that he is just a small strategist after all, and he can't influence everyone's opinions, so he can only be forcibly put behind by the soldiers. This little episode did not affect their surrender, everything was carried out step by step. Peng Tao appeared in person, and Zhang Qing, who was the chief general of Great Qin, naturally had to greet him in person.

The first official meeting between the two sides began, and out of respect for Peng Tao, he did not let Peng Tao kneel down as a defeated general, but was very enthusiastic as if he had seen a comrade-in-arms who had not seen him for many years. The two sides clasped hands tightly together and smiled at each other.

Then he laughed and entered the big tent, which was a makeshift tent and relatively rudimentary, but both sides ignored it with great interest. It's just talking about surrender, and since the battle is over, we must quickly organize people to put out the fire, and if the fire is allowed to burn like this, then I don't know how long it will burn.

After the surrender is completed, according to the rules, the party that accepts the surrender should get some good wine and good food for a banquet to welcome the newcomers to join. Because they had to send someone to extinguish the fire, the banquet had to be set for the evening, and both sides had to prepare for it, and then they went back.

During this period, Weng He asked to see Peng Tao many times, but without exception, he was refused. At this time, Weng He also came back to his senses, from the time he set out to the present, Peng Tao has been deliberately avoiding him, is there any conspiracy here?" Weng He couldn't help but secretly guess.

But it's just a conjecture, in the evening, the generals sat together, and Peng Tao and Zhang Qing sat side by side on the main seat, which was also a sign of mutual respect, and the two toasted each other, and toasted to the generals under them. For a while, the scene was lively and the atmosphere was harmonious, and Weng He, as a strategist, naturally had a seat.

It's just that he is relatively dull, and occasionally looks at the two people on the main seat with some resentment. If there is drinking, there will naturally be a toast, and the generals on both sides, as long as they are qualified to sit here, are not exempt from vulgarity.

In the end, it was Weng He's turn, only to see him stand up unwillingly, straighten his waist, walk to the center of the big tent, hold wine in his hand, and stare at Zhang Qing with firm eyes: "I have seen the general in Xia Wenghe, today I have 50,000 horses and horses, and I was defeated by the general, which is a pity." I wonder if the general can tell me about your strategy for using troops?

Zhang Qing didn't expect that there would be such a number one person in the Han army, and he would have such courage to question himself, is he really not afraid of death? Now that the two sides have become a family, if he openly tells about his success, it will be too much to slap the other party in the face. For future cooperation, there will definitely be cracks.

If he didn't answer, it would be too rude, which really made him a little embarrassed, as if he saw Zhang Qing's difficulties, Peng Tao continued: "Brother Weng, if you lose, you lose, there is nothing to say, if you say too much, it will inevitably hurt everyone's harmony, so it's better to forget it." ”

Zhang Qing saw that there were steps to go down, and immediately agreed: "Yes, what General Peng said is very true, everyone is their own people, don't hurt the harmony because of these things, come and come, drink this cup full!

The rest of the people dared not to give him face, and they all immediately echoed and toasted, and they all wanted to quickly expose this topic, but there were really people who did not give him face. That is Weng He, for their behavior of trying to change the topic, he saw through it at a glance.

I saw him sneer and said, "General, it's too stingy for you to say that, are you afraid that your art of war will be spread?"

Well, since you don't want to say it, then you have some foolish opinions, so please analyze it and see if what you say is reasonable?"

"Not good!" Peng Tao almost immediately stood up against him, and tried his best to give him a look, hoping that his friend would understand his good intentions, but Weng He stood up with the determination to die, and turned a blind eye to his friend's warning.

Seeing that he couldn't hint at it, he hurriedly ordered: "Come on, Lord Weng is drunk, quickly help him down to rest!" said that he was helping him down to rest, but everyone could see that this was simply to catch him.

At this moment, Weng He didn't know where to go, pulled out a dagger, and put it against his neck.

Seeing this scene, Peng Tao was immediately stupid, out of concern for his friend, he immediately stopped the next person, and looked at Zhang Qing with a nervous expression.

Zhang Qing didn't expect things to come to this point, and he was also very curious, Weng He knew what he knew, so he let it develop. In short, no matter what he said, he would be dead today, if it weren't for Peng Tao's attitude, just by the fact that this kid pulled out a dagger, he could be killed immediately.

Seeing that everyone had stopped, Weng He relaxed, sorted out his thoughts, and began to say his own opinions.
