The early morning sun, lazily sprinkled from the air, shone on the official road outside Xianyang City, as if sending warm care to those pedestrians.

There was a group of 100 people riding horses to the north on the official road, there was a carriage in the middle of the team, and a middle-aged man riding a horse next to the frame asked the people in the frame: "Dare to ask Mr. which country he is from, with his talent, it must have spread all over the Seven Kingdoms, wrong, he should have heard of it, but he has never heard of the name of Mr." ”

This team is Sima Cuo's personal guard, and he accompanied Sima Cuo to the Lantian camp, and the person in the car was Zhuge Liang. Yesterday, when he went to court, Meng Ao of the Military Aircraft Pavilion privately told Sima Cuo: Zhuge Liang's military talent is not under him, and he may not be as good as him in terms of strategy, this expedition let him listen to Zhuge Liang's advice more, don't snub Zhuge Liang. These words can surprise Sima Ao, who is Meng Ao, who once served as the general of the Qin State, and has fought dozens of battles in his life, he Sima Ao also asked himself if he could compare to Meng Ao, but Meng Ao said that he was not as good as Zhuge Liang, which made him even more curious about Zhuge Liang. That's why I asked that sentence.

Zhuge Liang's words came out calmly from the frame, and he said: "Liang is just a mountain village man, and he is not worthy of such praise from the general." ”

Zhuge Liang didn't say that he didn't ask anymore, he knew that Meng Ao would not deceive him, since Zhuge Liang's military ability was extraordinary, it must be the truth, and he talked to Zhuge Liang about military aspects. Sure enough, the more the two chatted, the more speculative they became, and then Sima Coo, who didn't like to ride in a car, ran into the car and talked to Zhuge Liang freely, which was the case for three consecutive days. It was incredible for the guards who knew him, if it weren't for the fact that he had a wife and son, the guards would still think that he was good at Longyang.

"General Qiqi, we have arrived at the Lantian camp a hundred miles away, and we can go to the Lantian camp after tea time. Sima Coo, who was still chatting in the car, was interrupted by the guards who came to report.

A little surprised: "It's here so soon." However, then he reacted and instructed the guards outside: "Fix it in place." ”

The guards took the order and left, and Sima Coo saluted slightly to Zhuge Liang on the front and said: "Thank you Mr. for your advice in the past three days, I have benefited a lot, and I am grateful." ”

Zhuge Liang replied with a salute: "The general is polite, and Liang also learned a lot from the general." Bright, thank you General. ”

The two exchanged polite remarks, and were sincerely grateful to each other for some of the art of war, and Sima Coo left the car, rode his batch of brown horses, and shouted, "Let's go." ”。 The guards followed, and the dust was flying, and Sima Cuo and the others rushed towards the camp.

Soon, Sima Cuo led Zhuge Liang and his personal guards to the Lantian camp, and handed over the military power to Wang Ling, the 250,000 main general of the Lantian camp. After the handover, he went directly to the barracks of 100,000 cavalry with Zhuge Liang.

"Roar...... Roar...... Kill...... Kill...... Kill ......" can be heard from afar.

When I arrived outside the camp, I saw the Qin army on the training ground, which was divided into several areas, some of them fought on training horses, and some of them were ...... of cooperation between the three of them after dismounting. The soldiers who trained were all energetic and magnificent, and the momentum of the training alone gave people a sense of invincibility and unstoppable.

"What an elite army, a division of tigers and wolves. This expedition to the west will definitely be the beginning of their myth......" Zhuge Liang exclaimed on the side.

In the big tent of the Chinese army of 100,000 cavalry, Sima Coo sat on the top position, Zhuge Liang sat on his left side, the feather fan in his hand was still shaking, Sima Co saw the corners of his mouth twitch, the weather became colder, and he knew that it was going to snow, he wanted people to make a brazier, but Zhuge Liang didn't seem to feel the slightest.

"Someone," Sima Cuo commanded outward.

"The Admiral has an order?" said one of the guards.

"It is rumored that Huo Quai, the general of the upper army, Wang Qian, the general of the lower army, and Gan Mao, the deputy general of the Chinese army, came to the big tent to discuss the matter. Sima wrongly commanded.

"Nuo" personally guarded and left.

After the reform of the Qin military system: five people for one army, with one captain, two armies for one tithe, one chief, ten tithes for one hundred, a centurion, ten hundred for one thousand, a thousand commanders (also known as partial generals), three thousand for a battalion, with the post of captain, ten battalions of 30,000 for one army, with the post of general (also known as the superintendent), and a deputy general to assist the general in commanding 30,000 people, 90,000 people of the three armies plus 10,000 elites, a total of 100,000 people for a legion, with the post of corps commander and two deputy corps commanders, the corps commander can be called a general, and the deputy corps commander is called a general.

Qin now has only one legion, and when Yingzheng ascended the throne, he promised Bai Qi to build a god-killing legion, but the god-killing legion was not full, and there were only two armies of 60,000 people. The first army was 30,000 cavalry led by Huo Quzhi, and the second army was 30,000 cavalry led by Wang Qian.

Huo Qubing and Wang Jian were both selected by Bai Qi to join the God Killing Legion, and after that, they rarely cared about the affairs of the God Killing Legion, and Wang Qi, another deputy commander of the God Killing Legion, was originally in charge here, but he was transferred back to Xianyang by the Military Machine Pavilion a few days ago.

Of the 100,000 cavalry, 40,000 were commanded by Gan Mao, another general of the Qin State, who did not belong to the Killing God Legion. However, the 100,000 cavalry were all under the command of Sima Cuo, and he naturally had to obey Sima Cuo's dispatch.

In a few moments, the three of them asked to see each other outside the tent.

"Come in. Sima Cuo said lightly.

The guards outside the tent opened the tent, and the three of them rushed in, came to the middle of the big tent, and said to Sima Cuo, who was sitting down: "See the general!"

After finishing speaking, he saluted Zhuge Liang on the left and said, "Mr. is polite." ”

Zhuge Liang got up and saluted back before sitting down again.

Sima said in the upper position: "The three generals are polite, the three generals should have received the military order from the Military Aircraft Pavilion and the edict from the king." ”

"The last general and others have already received the military order and the king's edict, and we should obey General Sima's dispatch. However, before that, the general is also asked to show the military order of the Military Aircraft Pavilion and the edict of the king, as well as the tiger talisman. The three of them said respectfully.

Sima Cuo showed the edict of leading the troops, the order of military aircraft and the tiger talisman given by Ying Zheng to Huo Quzhi and the three of them for inspection.

The three of them passed each other to watch, and there was no problem, so they returned it to Sima Cuo, and the three of them sat down separately and began to deliberate.

Seeing that the three of them were seated, Sima asked Zhuge Liang wrongly: "Mr. thinks it's good for our army to leave tomorrow." ”

If he hadn't talked to Zhuge Liang along the way, Sima Cuo would not have asked Zhuge Liang's opinion on this kind of matter, Zhuge Liang had given him a great shock in the past three days, and he was ashamed of himself for many insights. So I want to ask Zhuge Liang's opinion.

"Please also ask the general to march west again in five days!" Zhuge Liang suggested.

"Why is that?" asked Sima Cuo, a little puzzled.

Even Wang Jian and the three of them didn't know what Zhuge Liang meant, there was not much difference between tomorrow and five days later, but Zhuge Liang said that after five days, the army would be mobilized. Could it be that there will be a good day after five days, the four of them looked at Zhuge Liang, hoping that he would give a reasonable explanation.

Zhuge Liang said lightly: "This is a matter of the secret of the Military Aircraft Pavilion, Liang can't say too much, he can only tell a few generals that not only me and General Sima came from Xianyang City, but also a secret order went out of Hangu Pass and spread to Taiyuan County and Sichuan County, and the edict was just four words, and it was not allowed to enter or exit." As for the other Liang, it can't be said, and the four generals haven't known yet. ”

Sima Coo and the four of them were shocked, Taiyuan County and Sichuan County are the two counties of Qin State out of Hangu Pass, Taiyuan County is in contact with the border of Zhao State in the north, and Wei State is in contact with Wei State in the east, as for the Sichuan County in the south, and Sichuan County is in contact with Korea in the south.

There are two roads between the Qin State and the Six Kingdoms, and the northern road is the two counties that must be passed, and they are allowed to enter and exit, which is to block the news, and as for what the news is, it is what they have to do - the expedition to Xirong.

The four of them had already understood in their hearts the intentions of the Military Machine Pavilion, but Wang Jian and the three of them still felt that something was wrong in their hearts, because the Qin State sent 100,000 cavalry to conquer Xirong, and the Six Kingdoms were afraid that they had already received the news, and now the blockade is still useful.

"Sir, my country sent 100,000 cavalry to attack Xirong, and I'm afraid that the dark saucer of the six countries would have already sent the news back, is it still useful to block the news now?" Huo Quzhi asked a few people with doubts.

"That's right, how did the imperial court announce it?" Zhuge Liang said with a smile.

"In the spring of the next year, my Great Qin will send 100,000 cavalry to conquer Xirong and seek justice for the people of our Qin State!" Wang Jian replied.

"Spring ...... next year," Sima Coo muttered, and then his eyes lit up, and Wang Jian and the others also thought of something, and when they looked up, they saw the smiles in the eyes of several people.

It's all in plain sight.

Taiyuan County, Jinyang City.

Jinyang City is located in the north of Taiyuan County, which was originally an important town of Zhao State, and was captured by Qin State after the Battle of Changping and set up as a city. If it is not detoured from other countries, it is the only way for Qin and Zhao to travel between the two countries. Since it is a territory of the two countries, the Qin State naturally has garrisons, and 10,000 defenders are stationed in this county.

At this time, the county town had just received the military order from the military machine pavilion, and the garrison generals had already sent some more soldiers to guard the city gate, only allowed to enter and not allowed to leave, although it caused some people's dissatisfaction, but no one dared to stand up and make trouble, and there was a feeling that the storm was coming.

Of course, Jinyang City is the only way for the two countries to pass, which means that merchants and armies must pass through it. There are naturally some remote paths near Jinyang City that can bypass Jinyang City, but those trails generally need to go over the mountains and mountains, not only the road is difficult, the road is farther, there are many poisons and birds of prey in the jungle, and if you are not careful, you will die, and no one chooses to take that kind of road until the last resort.

Of course, these paths are also guarded by Qin soldiers, and it is not so easy to pass.

Emerging City!

Located in the east of Taiyuan County, it is the border city of Qin and Wei, out of the east gate of Xinxing City, there is half a day's journey from the territory of Wei, and if you want to enter Wei, you also have to pass through a city of Wei.

Xinxing City also implemented the order of allowing entry and exit, and a thousand people had already been sent to guard the nearby trail.

At this time, a car came from the Wei Kingdom, and in the car was a young man and an old man with white hair and a goatee. The car stopped at the gate of Xinxing City, and several soldiers carefully checked it one by one, and then let it enter the city.

After the car drove into the city, the young man in the car heard the dissatisfaction of the people who couldn't leave the city at the city gate, and said to the old man: "Teacher, what happened to this Qin country, and the news was completely blocked?"

The old man said lightly: "When you should know, you will know, you don't need to think about it." ”。

The middle-aged man said respectfully: "The student understands!"

The car gradually drove towards Hangu Pass, and when he entered Hangu Pass, he was the land of Qin, and it seemed that he was a guest of Qin.
