Zhao Xing's goal was achieved, 35,000 slaves were transported across the Yellow River and joined in the construction of Shangjun Pass, and the 10,000 soldiers who were born were also arranged for the construction work, and Shangjun Pass was rising at a speed visible to the naked eye. However, it was not appropriate to call Shangjun again, so according to the characteristics of this pass connecting Qin Wei Zhao and Zhou Yuan, Zhao Xing renamed him a very powerful name - Sitongguan - very familiar and casual.

The construction of the Sitong Pass, Zhao Xing did not participate, because he needed to go to Linhu, he had to fulfill the duty of the Linhu Xiang Gang and command the attack on the Qin army, but the fundamental purpose was to make the Qin State incapable of disrupting the construction of the Sitongguan.

After two years of recuperation, Lin Hu became stronger. This time, in order to cooperate with Zhao's rebellion war, but the fundamental purpose was to take advantage of the main force of Qin's army to go east, seize Qin's Hetao, and continue to expand his agricultural production area.

Therefore, he gave up the means of constantly harassing the Qin State with a small force, but condensed all the men and horses into a huge force to carry out a comprehensive attack on the fifteen cities in the Hetao area of the Qin State. It is expected that the opportunity of the Qin State to dispatch 100,000 troops to attack Zhao can break the blockade and drive the Qin people out of the Hetao.

But to be honest, in terms of attacking and defending the city, the Lin Hu people did not have great talent, so the war had been fought for half a year, but not a single city had been taken, which made King Lin Hu and Qin Mo at a loss. As a result, envoys have been sent several times to help Zhao Xing hurry over and support the offensive and defensive plans.

In fact, Zhao Xing is very busy, he should supervise the construction of the four customs clearances, and he should also go back to Daijun to see his good Anda results and the development of his hometown. No detailed information can be obtained on the basis of correspondence alone.

But he is Lin Hu's help, and Lin Hu has difficulties and asks to help him go back, which is also Zhao Xing's responsibility.

Let's go, let's go to the duties of Lin Hu Xianggang, otherwise, Zhao Xing's character will stink among the other princes. So, with Yin Qi and Xu Jie and the newly selected five hundred Junqiu soldiers and three thousand cavalry, Zhao Xing marched all the way west, bypassing Shangjun, which had already belonged to his own country in the future and was still in the hands of the Qin people, and entered Linhu.

King Lin Hu and Qin Mo greeted Zhao Xing at the crossing of the Yellow River.

This time, King Lin Hu and his subordinates were more respectful to Zhao Xing. The exploits are there, who doesn't admire them? Don't you admire it?

King Lin Hu affectionately took Zhao Xing's hand and said, "It's good to help each other come back, it's good to come back." ”

Come back, this is kind, and Zhao Xing also has a feeling of coming back, because, here, he can make the final say.

"How's the war going?" Zhao Xing asked bluntly.

King Lin Hu couldn't introduce himself to Zhao Xing, which was not in harmony with etiquette, and now, Lin Hu is becoming more and more human.

Qin Mo stepped forward and introduced: "Our strategic choice is for Qin to cut into the northern tip of the Hetao to support the county, and then go south to Dingyang, and use the old Great Wall of Qin to hold on, so that the Hetao will be completely in our hands." ”

Zhao Xing nodded: "Who came up with this strategy?" ”

Dong Guoli stood up and gave a salute to the Xiangbang: "It was proposed by his subordinates." ”

Zhao Xing continued to ask: "Then who executes it?" ”

Qin Mo said: "Dongguoli." ”

Whoever proposes and who executes, it's very leading. But is it appropriate for you to let a trencher go to the siege? No wonder now that half a year has been fought, 200,000 horses have no inch and are working in vain.

In fact, this is the case in this era, talent is defined as a jack of all trades. The most tragic representative is the Mao Sui who recommended himself, because he said Chu and became famous, Zhao was in trouble and needed someone to lead troops to fight, so King Zhao thought that since you can say Chu, you can definitely fight a war, then it's you. As a result, Mao Sui objected, saying that he was a fool and did not understand military affairs at all, but King Zhao thought he was modest and was forced to go to the front line, and as a result, the Zhao army was defeated and Mao Sui died in battle.

"I'm not saying that Dongguoli is incompetent, but that the talent is not right, you let a person who is good at digging ditches to lead troops to fight, just like I asked you, who is good at governing the country, to be a veterinarian, is this appropriate?" Zhao Xing criticized Qin Mo, but he even told King Lin Hu about it. Weichang

Hearing such criticism, Qin Mo was ashamed, King Lin Hu was embarrassed, and Dong Guoli was relieved.

Dongguoli stepped forward and pleaded guilty with sincere fear: "My subordinates are incompetent, and I am tired of the three armies, please help me relieve my military position, let me dig a ditch." ”

Zhao Xing smiled and helped him up: "It's not your fault, it's Qin Mo's pretense that he doesn't know anyone." Now, I will exercise my authority to help you, remove your military power, and transfer you to the field peasant envoy. Then he turned around and asked King Lin Hu: "And because Qin Mo doesn't know the person, he will punish him for a hundred miles of land, and the king thinks it is feasible?" ”

King Lin Hu looked at Qin Mo and really couldn't bear it.

Qin Mo said calmly: "The rewards and punishments for each other are clear, and they should be done." ”

You can't do things that offend people: "But Qin Mo is conscientious and can accept virtuous words, when he is promoted to a false appearance, when I am not there, he will help the power." ”

King Lin Hu was overjoyed at the time: "When the minister suggests, since Qin Mo is a fake, he should increase the fiefdom of two hundred miles of food." ”

Zhao Xing clapped his hands, "Good." ”

As a result, it is an atmosphere of joy and harmony between the monarch and the minister.

"The battle ahead is urgent, I will go directly to the front line, and take advantage of the fact that the 100,000 exhausted Qin troops who have been dragged by me have not yet eased up, and open the stalemate of the war, please allow the king." This is a clear request for military power from King Linhu.

King Lin Hu said movingly: "I helped each other all the way, but I didn't rest for a moment, I really couldn't bear it." But the war on the front line is really urgent, so please help with everything. ”

"Take leave to walk with me and mobilize grain and grass supplies in the rear."

"Yes."

This is an excellent opportunity to weaken Qiang Qin, and it must not be delayed. Bidding farewell to King Lin Hu, Zhao Xing and Qin Mo rushed to the front of the army, and then, Zhao Xing directly appointed General Yin Qi as the former commander of the army, and Xu Jie joined the army before the army, and readjusted the attack strategy.

Now that the Great Wall of Qin Xin has been half built and is about to be completed, Zhao Xing's army is facing five of the fifteen cities of Qin in the north.

And Yicheng is connected to the other ten cities, as long as he is taken, it is equivalent to opening a gap in the middle of the Great Wall of Qinhetao, separating the other four cities from Qin. Then Bingfeng pointed directly at Fushi, and he could realize that Dongguoli would take Dingyang and recapture the entire Hetao again, weakening the important grain-producing areas of the Qin State and strengthening Linhu's materials.

As for the huge difficulties caused by the expansion of Lin Hu and the subsequent occupation of Lin Hu by the Zhao State, it was not for Zhao Xing to consider for the time being. If you think about it then, the strength of the Qin State is even more worrying. As the saying goes, the lesser of two evils is the top priority. Besides, the current Lin Hu's real help Qin Mo is already his own Zhao Xing's intermediary, and the talents introduced by Lin Hu have slowly infiltrated into Lin Hu's power center and key departments because of their ability, so what are you afraid of?

In order to truly feel Lin Hu's siege skills, Zhao Xing launched another siege after the Lin Hu people paused for ten days in the siege battle, he wanted to actually see their methods of attacking the city, so that they knew themselves and knew their opponents, and came up with new ways to attack the city.

The siege started in the morning, and it was vigorous at the beginning, but looking at it made Zhao Xing feel drowsy.

Because, such a siege is monotonous and outrageous, that is, a group of people, shouting, carrying shields, carrying ladders and starting to charge, after crossing the Qin people's arrow rain covered area, they began to climb the city.

Climb the city to attack, this is one of the most clumsy methods of siege warfare. Then, after heavy casualties, they retreated and prepared for the next attack, and so on and so forth, until the evening, when everyone gathered their troops and went back to the camp to sleep, waiting for the next day to continue doing so.
