There was silence in the big tent, the two rows of generals stood solemnly, everyone looked at Zhao Mu behind the tiger case in the big tent, but they were extremely surprised in their hearts, Zhao Mu sat still, but his face changed, obviously, he was struggling with something in his heart, as if there was something extremely difficult that made it difficult for him to make a decision.

The surprise of the generals is not without reason, in their minds, Zhao Mu has always been a decisive person who does not drag the mud and water, what makes him so hesitant?

Of course, Zhao Mu hesitated in his heart, this is not an ordinary war, if it is not done well, it will affect the national fortune of Zhao State, the information of the iron hammer was sent at the risk of death, but whether it is true or false requires him to make a judgment, is it a scam, or is it true?

He slowly raised his head and recounted the fate to all the generals in a calm tone as much as possible.

Inside the big tent, the pot suddenly exploded. After a brief period of surprise, they were divided into two factions for the next military action. One faction wanted to take advantage of the emptiness of Hangu Pass and attack on a large scale, while the other faction asked to send troops to Daijun in case the Qin army took advantage of the situation to attack Daijun after defeating the Xiongnu.

The two factions of generals represent two different points of view, one is aggressive and the other is defensive.

After arguing for a long time, but no one could convince anyone, and after reaching the worst, everyone turned their eyes to Zhao Mu, at this time, only he could make a final decision.

Zhao Mu took a deep breath, this responsibility has to be borne by himself after all.

"It's impossible to go back to the county." Zhao Mu shook his head slowly, "It's too late in time, even if the Huns can hold out for a while longer, so that we can rush to Daijun, but after a long journey, the soldiers are exhausted, how to fight?" The reason why I hesitate is not because of this, but because I am afraid that this is a scam, and if this is the case, once we send troops, we will inevitably step into the trap of our opponents."

"If all this is true, we only have one way, and that is to storm Hangu Pass, take him, and then force Xianyang, forcing Li Xin not to march into Daijun, but to return to Xianyang as quickly as possible."

"General, if all this is true, then Hangu Guan must have already prepared, if you want to defeat him, I'm afraid it will be extremely difficult, Li Xin is not there, but Ying Teng is still there!" A general said worriedly.

Zhao Mu stood up, "This battle, in the big picture, we have already lost. The onslaught on Hangu is just to force Li Xin to return to help, and it doesn't matter if he can take it or not." He let out a long sigh, "From now on, our competition with the Qin State has fallen into full disadvantage, and Hangu Pass is no longer the only point for the Qin army to attack, in the future, they can pass through the Xiongnu-controlled area, directly enter Daijun, and enter the Zhao State, we can only passively defend everywhere."

The generals were silent.

"I have written to the king and will end the war with the Yan Kingdom immediately. There must be a truce, even if it costs something." Zhao Mu said: "Zhou Changshou, you take 5,000 people from the headquarters to attack Changping Village. Wu Zeng, you also command the 5,000 men and horses of the headquarters to attack Yangfeng Village, and the rest of the troops are ready to attack Hangu Pass at any time." Zhao Mu commanded.

"Yes!" The two generals who were named strode out of the ranks, shook their fists at Zhao Mu, turned around and strode out of the big tent.

"Right and wrong, you will see it right away." Zhao Mu looked extremely tired.

Changping Village, Yangfeng Village, is the two wings of Hangu Pass, Zhao Mu can not take risks, can only be tested first, if the main force of the Qin army is really not in Hangu Pass, from the two villages of the war reflection can be seen clues.

But such a cautious strategy will delay Zhao Mu for several more days, but Zhao Mu has no other way, if he is not careful, once he falls into the trap, with the skills of Li Xin and Ying Teng, it is enough to put him in a state of destruction.

The Hedong battlefield, which had been calm for a long time, suddenly made waves, and when the two troops of the Zhao army rushed to Changping and Yangfeng, in Hangu Pass, the veteran of the Qin army, Win Teng, also got the news.

He laughed, "Zhao Mu still knows the way, be careful, don't change your past nature, herald Changping, Yangfeng, fierce resistance, how many days can last, the whole army is dead, and you are not allowed to withdraw from the stockade one step, now, let's fight for one more day, it will be one day!"

For the sake of the big strategic goal, the defenders of these two military villages are already careless, these are the two most important military villages on both sides of Hangu Pass, the ordinary garrisons are more than 5,000, once the war starts, these two villages can each accommodate tens of thousands of Qin troops, but now, the two villages, each only 2,000 people.

"Rectify Lao Qin, go to war for the country, blood will not be shed, and there will be no truce!" The expression on Ying Teng's face became hideous, "For the sake of Daqin, you will rest until you die!" They go first, and I come later."

"Yes!" In Hangu Pass, the generals of the Qin army roared like thunder.

The sound of war drums, shouts, the land of Hedong, after many years of silence, once again ignited the flames of war, the two great powers in the world, Qin and Zhao once again broke out a large-scale war conflict, in the past the two countries were at war, almost all of them were the main attack of Qin, and the main defense of Zhao, but this time, it was Zhao who suddenly launched a fierce attack on Qin.

Inside the camp in Hedong, the tense wartime atmosphere shrouded every corner, and from outside the camp, there was an endless stream of sentinels and messengers, rushing into the camp one after another, and rushed straight to the location of Zhao Mu's Chinese army tent.

Zhao Mu launched an attack on Changping and Yangfeng on the first day.

The Zhao army attacked fiercely, the Qin army resisted stubbornly, under Zhao Mu's request, every hour, a messenger came to the camp to report the military situation to Zhao Mu, listening to the report of a group of sentinels, Zhao Mu's brows were tightly locked, and the generals who were waiting for the day were also very anxious.

As night fell, the Zhao army that attacked the two villages made no progress, and the two villages were still under the control of the Qin army.

"You mean that the Qin army has never gone out to fight?"

"Yes!"

"Are they showing signs of retreat?"

"Nope! The fighting is extremely fierce, and every step our army takes has to pay a great price."

Listening to the messenger's words, Zhao Mu's frowning brows slowly relaxed, "Go back and tell you two generals, stop the attack, monitor their movements, if they don't leave the village, they don't have to fight anymore." Zhao Mu waved his hand and said to the two messengers on the ground.

"Yes!"

The other generals of the Zhao army in the tent didn't know why, and they all looked at Zhao Mu in surprise.

In Zhuo Li's big tent, Zhao Mu's face had already regained his usual inherent self-confidence, "The whole army is attacking, and the target is Hangu Pass!"

"Yes!" Although I don't understand why Zhao Mu suddenly made up his mind, but it is much more comfortable to attack than to stay in the big tent and passively listen to the military situation in front of him, and many generals responded with a bang, and trotted out of the big tent of the Chinese army one by one.

After a while, one after another fire dragons came out of the eastern camp, divided into several roads, and rushed straight to Hangu Pass.

Zhao Mu didn't dare to be sure whether this information was true or false, but he couldn't wait until the grassland, the news came from the Huns, and when that time came, he was afraid that the daylily would be cold, and he sent two armies to attack the two fortresses that were vital to Hangu Pass.

In the middle of the night, in Hangu Guanzhong, Ying Teng had just slept for a long time when he was awakened by a quick knock on the door.

"General, after Zhao Mu finished the Hedong camp, he came straight to Hangu Pass." Outside the door, a member of the Qin General's tone was full of anxiety.

Ying Teng turned over and got up, hurriedly put on his armor, "Changping, has Yangfeng been lost?"

"No, the two defenders have just sent back messengers, and the Zhao army stopped attacking soon after it was dark."

Win Teng shook his head for a while, "Zhao Mu is Zhao Mu after all, such a little trick can't fool him for long. Come on, come on, I was going to duel it out at Hangu Pass."

"General, do you want to withdraw the defenders of Changping, Yangfeng and Changping?"

"I can't get back!" Ying Teng said: "Zhao Mu must have an arrangement, they stay in the village, maybe they can live longer."

In the Hangu Pass, the alarm bell rang for a long time, on the city wall, countless torches were suddenly lit, the entire Hangu was illuminated clearly, the city gate was wide open, a war horse galloped out, and stopped at a distance of thousands of kilometers from the wall, more foot soldiers lined up, relying on the wall, lined up in formation, and a bed crossbow was pushed out and placed in front of the military formation.

The Qin army defended the city, and it has always been not based on the city, but fought according to the city. Even if the Zhao army now has an absolute superiority in strength, the Qin army will not change their proud nature.

Less than an hour after the Qin army put down the formation, a series of fire dragons appeared in their field of vision, and the banner of Zhao Zi was particularly eye-catching in the eyes of the firelight.

On the city wall, Ying Teng smiled with a smile on his face, "In my lifetime, I can fight Zhao Mu again, I am lucky."

Dai County, Xiling City is already in sight, the Xiongnu Wang Ye Lu Cheng whipped and laughed, this time the Xiongnu took advantage of the Zhao foreign troubles, in one fell swoop into Dai County hundreds of miles, the more the army forward, the more rich the invaded area, compared to the border of those poor border people, the Zhao people in the interior, all of them can be regarded as rich people, full of cars full of looted gold and silver treasures are constantly marching towards their hometown, the patriarchs of each Xiongnu tribe are happy.

Xiling City is tall and majestic, although it is only seen from a distance, but it also gives people a great sense of oppression, but they have no ambition to lay down this city, as long as they loot around Xiling City, they can go home satisfied, Xiling City is the capital of Dai County, this area, that is rich and oily.

The cavalry came and went, the Huns almost did not encounter any effective resistance in Daijun, the standing army of Zhao State withdrew, and the soldiers of Daijun retreated in one city after another, not daring to fight at all, and the Huns almost entered the realm of no one. After so many years, there has been a war that can be so comfortable and smooth as this one!

Every Hun did not expect that the catastrophe of annihilation was just around the corner, and behind them, the powerful Qin army had already set a trap and was waiting for their return. (To be continued......)
