Ying Zheng entered the hall, and Wei Ran hurriedly said: "See the king, the king has been for ten thousand years." ”

Ying Zheng replied: "The princes are polite, I have read Sima Cuo's battle report." ”

Meng Ao replied: "Qi my king, I have already seen it, Sima Coo's battle is good...... Well, the annihilation of 150,000 Xiongnu and less than 20,000 casualties were made, and this battle was the biggest victory of the Qin State since the Bai Qi general Changping. Rescuing the robbed people has an explanation for the subjects of Qin, and the destruction of 150,000 Xiongnu makes the Xiongnu no longer have much danger to the north of our Qin State. ”

Zhu Lijian also said: "Yes, after this battle, as long as Sima Cuo can subdue the two Qiang clans, there will be no more disasters in the western part of my Qin State, and then solve the affairs of the Yue Clan, and the Qin State only needs to focus all its efforts on the six eastern countries." ”

Hearing what the Yue clan said, Wei Ran asked: "Gong, what is the strategy for the Yue clan's affairs, you know, the Yue clan is also ambitious, and there is constant friction with Wusun to the west, if there is no Xiongnu attack this time, within five years, Wusun and Loulan may be swallowed up by it, and at that time, my Qin State has another big enemy." ”

Zhu Li shook his head and said, "Although I don't have a plan, Mr. Kong Ming must have a plan. ”

"Alas, Mr. Zhuge was a little reckless this time, and only brought a hundred people to escort him, if there is any accident, my Qin State will definitely lose a great talent. Meng Ao sighed.

"No, I believe that he will return safely and with all the glory of his body, because he is ——— Zhuge Liang. Ying Zheng said confidently.

The day passed quickly, and the day, which had no sunshine, soon ushered in the night.

The sky was getting dark, and in a white world far away in the west, a team of 100 people escorted a car towards the west.

"Whew...... Woo...... Oh...... Woo ......" The howling wolf howl resounded throughout this world, the centurion of a hundred people immediately became alert, and the rest of the soldiers trembled when they heard the wolf howl, and looked at the north in horror, and a black shadow in the north rushed towards them, and the faces of many soldiers became pale, because there were about three or four hundred wolves in the group, and there were only a few or a dozen wolves in general, and they had never heard of hundreds of wolves together.

Four hundred wolves stopped at the call of the head wolf, a pair of bloodthirsty eyes looked at Zhuge Liang and his party, the centurion looked at the wolves with shining green eyes, and his heart was also drumming, but he didn't have the slightest idea of escaping, holding the long sword and his eyes were fierce.

When Zhuge Liang in the car heard the wolf howl, he walked out, and when he saw the black and oppressive wolves, he frowned, a little surprised, he didn't expect that there would be so many wolves. Then he returned to his indifferent countenance, shook his feather fan, and ordered: "The centurion listens to the order, orders all the soldiers to dismount, thirty people form a shield to defend in the front row, twenty people hold the long sword behind the standby, thirty people shoot with bows and crossbows, and the last ten people hold shields to observe the other three sides." ”

"No," the centurion replied.

Four hundred wolves walked towards Zhuge Liang's hundred-person team step by step under the leadership of the head wolf, as if they were slowly approaching their food, the anger of both sides became more and more nervous, Zhuge Liang slowly raised the feather fan in his right hand......

At this moment, the head wolf had just stepped out of his left front and back feet and stopped moving, and his bloodthirsty gaze turned to horror and fear, and he wanted to do something terrible, his eyes became larger, and fear spread in his heart, and he was retreating, one step at a time. The wolves behind him also felt this terrifying aura, a terrifying aura that was even more bloodthirsty and murderous than them, and the wolves retreated in an orderly manner like well-trained soldiers.

Zhuge Liang and the others also discovered this phenomenon, and looked in the direction of the wolves' eyes, and they saw a person, a person dressed as a Qin soldier, this person held a sword in his left hand, and walked towards the wolves step by step, he took a step, and the wolves took a step back.

In the end, the head wolf couldn't withstand the pressure of this person's strong aura, and turned around and wanted to escape, the person dressed as a Qin sergeant sped up his speed and rushed towards the wolves, and the hundred Qin sergeants saw a black shadow flying by, and the people had already arrived in the wolves, and they had just regarded Zhuge Liang and others as a flock of sheep, but at this time they had become a flock of sheep that covered the sun.

The sun covered the sun and pulled out the sun-covering sword, the sword emitted a red light, shaking the eyes of the head wolf, and before the head wolf could react, he was beheaded by the sword, and the screams were not in a hurry. The wolf's eyes next to the head wolf turned red, and he pounced on the sun, and with a flick of the scabbard in his left hand, he smashed the head of a wolf, fell to the ground, and twitched twice, and died.

Zhuge Liang and the others saw the sun covering and breaking into the wolves, and they only heard the screams of the wolves endlessly, and the red light flashed. After a while, the snow was full of wolf corpses, with the corpse of the head wolf as the center, a full half a mile away, and not a single wolf escaped. The soldiers' eyes widened and their mouths widened, completely unable to believe that this was done by one person.

Occult Sun glanced at Zhuge Liang and the others, and a few jumps disappeared.

A hundred people looked at the direction where the sun disappeared and were speechless for a long time, but Zhuge Liang said: "All the soldiers of the army, gear up and set off!"

"No"

Zhuge Liang and his party once again embarked on a journey to Yue's!

Xianyang Palace!

Only Ying Zheng was holding a bamboo slip and reading quietly, except for the two guards and a waiter outside the door, there was no one else.

In the study, there was a cloud of black gas wandering on the wall of the study, just behind Ying Zheng, the black gas was slowly changing, as if it was about to become something.

I don't know how long later, the black mist turned into a human figure, like the shadow of a person, and Ying Zheng's shadow was illuminated by candlelight on the ground on his left hand.

This black shadow actually bent down and saluted, and said, "See the lord, my subordinates have received news that the armies of the six eastern countries are secretly gathering towards the Wei State, and this matter should be related to the secret contact between the six countries a few months ago. ”

Ying Zheng was not surprised by the extra voices in the study at all, put down the bamboo slips, and said as expected: "After all, it is still here, and this news must be transmitted back to the Qin State Military Machine Pavilion by the hidden piles and nets in the Six Kingdoms." ”

The black shadow bowed and said, "My subordinates understand!"

"Let's go down!"

After Ying Zheng finished speaking, he continued to pick up the bamboo slips and looked at them.

After the black shadow of "Nuo" saluted, it disappeared out of thin air, leaving no trace. At the same time, a cold wind blew outside the hall, and the two guards on duty and the three attendants all had a cold war, and for some reason a cold wind suddenly blew.

Three days later, an army of the six countries secretly gathered in Wei, and secretly transmitted the news of the attack on Qin back to the Military Aircraft Pavilion, Wei Ran and other ministers of the Military Aircraft Pavilion seemed to have been prepared, and quickly summoned Bai Qi and Wang Qi, who was transferred back from the Lantian camp, to the Military Aircraft Pavilion, and the two received the military aircraft order and the edict of Ying Zheng, and secretly left Xianyang City that night.

Longxi County!

After more than ten days of marching, Sima Cuo led 100,000 cavalry, 20,000 people, and countless grain and grass to return to Didao. The people along the way were laughing and laughing, and some of the people who came back were looking for their relatives, while others did not know what was wrong.

After Gan Mao handed over these people to the Taishou of Longxi, he went to the big tent of the Chinese army to discuss matters.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Sima Cuo saw that all the generals had arrived, and said: "You should all know the purpose of our coming to Longxi, this is a good time for you to expand the territory of Qin, and it is not far from to be knighted and marquised." ”

The soldiers below heard this, their eyes lit up, and they were eager to kill the enemy immediately and make meritorious contributions, and one captain couldn't wait to stand up and say: "General Qiqi, I don't know when our army will be pulled, and the last general is willing to be the vanguard." ”

"The last general is also willing to be the vanguard of the army. ”

"The Last General ......"

A few more people came out to ask for war to be the vanguard, Sima Cuo saw that the generals were high-spirited, and said: "This time to attack the Qiang people, our army will no longer carry grain and grass baggage, and all the grain will be solved by the army itself." ”

As soon as Sima Cuo's words came out, the generals in the tent were dumbfounded, there was no military food transportation, how could they fight this one, the soldiers who had no food in the army would be panicked, and if the war was unfavorable, the deserters would mutiniate in endlessly. At that time, the army will be defeated in only a moment. Gan Mao took the lead and said: "General, this matter is not allowed, there is no food in the army, the soldiers are uneasy, if you are not careful, our army will fall into a place where there is no return!"

The rest of the generals also came out to persuade and said: "Please think twice, general!", only Huo Quzhi and Wang Jian remained silent, and Sima Cuo General had no intention of persuading, and asked: "Wang Qian, do you know what the general means?"

Wang Jian came out and said: "General, the Qiang clan now has less than 30,000 soldiers, our army has just destroyed the 150,000 cavalry of the Huns, and the momentum is flourishing, and the 30,000 enemy soldiers of the Qiang clan are not to worry, and they can be easily defeated." As for the food problem, the Qiang people have many war horses, cattle and sheep, are they still afraid that the officers and men in the army will not have enough to eat?"

"What do you think?" asked Huo Quzhi next to Wang Jian again.

Huo Quzhi said: "The last general's view is the same as that of General Wang Qian, and the soldiers are treacherous, what the general wants is to be fast, and take it down before the Qiang people have time to react and gather the soldiers of all ethnic groups to form combat power." What the last general is worried about is that the Qiang tribe is composed of more than a dozen tribes, large and small, although it is effortless for our Qin army to capture it, but if each tribe sends soldiers to defend it, our soldiers will be scattered all over the grassland, and the troops will be scattered.

After listening to the answers of the two, Sima Cuo laughed and said, "Haha...... , those who know me, Wang Qian, go to the sick. What you're worried about is that the Qiang clan will send the 80,000 troops of the Yue clan in the north and the Yue clan to intervene, and the clan in the south of the Qiang clan will come to the rescue, right?"

"Exactly. Huo Quzhi said.

"You are right, the grassland is empty, no matter how fast our army is, we can't do it without letting go of a person who reports the news, you should know that Mr. Zhuge took a hundred horsemen to the Yue clan 20 days ago, and the Yue clan and the 80,000 Qiang cavalry were solved by Mr. Zhuge . As for the clan, don't forget, my Great Qin still has 100,000 troops stationed in the land of Bashu, and if the clan dares to act rashly, it will definitely go west to destroy the clan. However, the 'trick' is endlessly changing, and there are thousands of changes on the battlefield, only if its own strength is not damaged, can it have the confidence to face all strong enemies. The general did not intend to disperse his forces to suppress the Qiang tribes. ”

"I don't know what the general's plan is?" Huo Quzhi asked curiously.

Sima Cuo, who was in the upper position, asked Wang Jian instead: "Wang Qian, in your opinion, what should our army do?"

Wang Jian thought for a while: "General, Wang Jian thinks that as long as our army can catch Shan Yu of the Qiang tribe, with him in hand, those who do not respect the order will be wiped out along with their tribes." ”

Sima Cuo shook his head and said: "It's not enough, if you want to take the territory of the Qiang people, you can easily expel them and flee, what our king wants is the Qiang people and this grassland, and collect them as Qin people." ”

"This ......"

The generals in the tent were stunned, Sima Cuo didn't care what they thought, and continued: "Bring the map of the Qiang tribe." ”

One of the "No" guards placed the map on a long table.

Sima Cuo consulted with Huo Qubing and other generals for several hours to finalize the battle plan and deployment in all aspects.

After the discussion, Sima Cuo ordered: "Wang Jian listens to the order." ”

"The end will be. ”

"If you lead the second army from Longxi to the south of the Qiang tribe, you will only have two requirements: first, be fast. Second, the chiefs of the Qiang tribes and their relatives and subordinates will be arrested together, and you will be limited to rush to the Qiang tribe to meet in the king's tent on the 15th. Sima Cuo ordered.

"No" Wang Jian stepped forward to take the token.

Sima Cuoyou picked up a token and said, "Huo Qu's illness listens to the order." ”

"The end will be. ”

"Let you lead the first army, set off from Longyou, attack the Qiang Shan Yu tribe directly, and capture the Qiang Shan Yu alive. Sima said again.

"No," Huo Quzhi said as he took the token.

"Ben will lead the Chinese army from the north of the Qiang people, and the three armies will meet in 20 days. ”

"I'll understand. The generals replied.

"Go down and give orders to the armies, and set out on a certain day. Sima wrongly ordered.

"No, the last general will retire. "A cadre of generals came out of the big tent in an orderly manner.

Sima Cuo muttered: "Huo Quai, this time you went deep into the enemy's Forte, and there are many dangers." However, your ability will be seen in your eyes, and there is Mr. Zhuge 's recommendation, who else can you be. ”
