In the spring of the fourteenth year of the Tang Dynasty, Le Yi led 100,000 iron horsemen to set off from Hetao and kill the northern frontier of Qinzhi, where a plain was suitable for iron horsemen to gallop.

Zhao Hao led 100,000 Tang infantry soldiers to attack Qin Zhihan Valley, here, there will be blood and fire.

Lian Po, with the 100,000 former Zhao army and the current Tang army, who had a deep hatred for Qin, killed Bai Qi of Shangdang to complete his fateful battle and end his historical regrets.

Zhao Xing is an idle person, he didn't sit in Tang City, handed over the governance of the court to the cabinet, let Xu Jie and Yin Qi Qin Mo worry about it, anyway, with his own shrewd and capable wife watching them, there will be no chaos.

And he sat in his luxurious four-wheeled carriage, running leisurely on the three battlefields, and did the duty of a military advisor.

Le Yi's direction, he is not worried, because Le Yi is the god of war, and because he participated in the battle against Yan Guo, the battle of Zhongshan in Zhao, and the battle of the coalition forces in Hangu Pass, he already has rich experience in tempering war, and the art of commanding the cavalry has reached the point of perfection, so he is now attacking the most smoothly, and he is backed by his own Tang Empire, so there is nothing to worry about.

Lian Po is facing the god of war Bai Qi along the way, which is actually the most worrying, and at the same time, Lian Po is still young and lacks experience in actual combat, so this is what Zhao Xing is most worried about. For this reason, Zhao Xing decided to take his little brother side by side.

However, while the brothers were side by side, Zhao Xing still decided to go to Hangu Pass first, because as long as the gap was opened there, he would realize the north-south advance with Le Yi, and his two-way army would be directly inserted into the heart of the Qin State. In this way, it will be a little easier for Lian Po here.

So when he broke up with Lian Po, Zhao Xing repeatedly told his eager little brother: "Now your task is to defend, one is to recuperate, and the other is to consume the grain and grass from Baiqi, as long as you keep the son, and when I come back and don't lose it, you will be credited as the first merit." ”

In the face of his brother's mother-in-law, Lian Po repeatedly assured that he would resolutely defend himself, and even if he lay down in front of my army and slept in vain, I would never go out of the city for half a step.

Facing his brother who is still chattering, Lian Po has to swear a blood oath.

After receiving Lian Po's sincere assurance, Zhao Xing then instructed Lin Xiangru, who was proud of him: "I still have to work hard, sir, please take a generous gift and go to various vassal states again." ”

Lin Xiangru asked curiously: "Originally, the task of my envoy has been successfully completed, and the annexation war between the various princes has been in full swing, and the fight is very chaotic, and the fight has reached the point where we do not distinguish between the enemy and the enemy, our goal has been achieved, in the three-way attack, the front line is the time when there is a shortage of people, although the lower officials do not know much about military affairs, but they can still be competent to help the commanders along the way to give advice, such as General Lian Po here, I think I can be his army, help him manage logistics." ”

The meaning of Lin Xiangru's words is already obvious, that is, Jun Shang has always been worried about his young brother, so it is still very necessary to have his own help.

Zhao Xing smiled and said: "I know what Mr. means, you are self-recommended, by the way, there is no self-recommendation now, you recommend yourself like this, it is a performance of courage to take responsibility, which I am very pleased." Then the conversation changed: "Don't worry, I believe my brother will do a very good job, and there should be no problems here." So it's important that you now have another responsibility on your shoulders. ”

When Lin Xiangru heard this, he hurriedly bowed solemnly: "The subordinates will resolutely complete the important tasks assigned by the king, if there is any mistake, if there is a head guarantee." ”

Zhao Xing smiled and shook his hand: "It's not that serious, I just want you to use the fastest time to meet the important ministers of the various princes, please come to Hangu Pass to see how I attack Hangu Pass, if you can invite their monarch to the pass, it will be the best." Bringing these people in a month, a month, is your big task. ”

Lin Xiangru immediately understood Zhao Xing's purpose, he did not invite these people to watch the play in front of Hangu Pass, but to show them in front of them the means of the Tang Dynasty's attack on Xiongguan, to deter them, make them frightened, and then mentally prepare for the future unification war.

"Your Majesty, Hangu Pass is the world's first Xiongguan, think back then, several times before the Five Nations Alliance, all defeated, although our Datang soldiers are strong, but in the face of such a Xiongguan, it will not be easy to succeed, if we are also defeated in front of this Xiongguan, not only can not achieve the effect that the king wants to achieve, but will greatly lose our face. Losing face is small, making the world laugh at us and strengthening their will to resist is the big one. ”

Zhao Xing smiled indifferently: "You don't know, I don't do things as a person, and I never do things that I am not sure of, so you can do things according to my instructions." Remember, within a month, I must be invited to watch the battle by important figures from all the vassal states, and no one will be left behind. ”

Lin Xiangru saw that his lord was so sure, so he couldn't say anything more, so he immediately rode a fast horse and ran among the princes in the starry night to invite visitors.

After sending Lin Xiangru away and receiving 500 trucks of materials from Datang, Zhao Xingcai took his Junqiu Shi to cross the iron chain bridge of the Yellow River, passed through the four passes, and came to the front of Hangu Pass.

Hearing the arrival of his brother Tang Hou, Zhao Hao hurriedly greeted him, and after the visit, he welcomed Zhao Xing into the customs.

Zhao Xing asked about the battle situation, and Zhao Hao showed bitterness: "Your Majesty, this Hangu Pass really deserves to be the first Xiongguan in the world, I have attacked for 3 days, paid a heavy price, but there is no half inch of progress, according to the current progress, if you want to take this Xiongguan, it is estimated that it will take half a year, and you will need 100,000 lives." ”

Seeing that Zhao Xing was silent, Zhao Hao suggested: "It's better to tell me to withdraw to our north, through the passage opened by the Le Yi brothers, give him an inner flower, then it will be much easier, why waste the lives of our soldiers and this precious time here?" ”

Zhao Xing smiled: "It's just the beginning, you guy who shouted out the narrow road to meet the brave wins, you began to complain, this is not your character, you should feel ashamed of your performance." Then he looked at the ashamed brother: "Don't don't, it's okay to be ashamed, if you don't need to be ashamed, you have to draw your sword and kill yourself, alas, I'll tell you my original intention." ”

Zhao Hao asked curiously: "Is there any other means in the group?" ”

Zhao Xing laughed and said: "In a few days, the dignitaries of the vassal states will rush to Hangu Pass, and when the time comes, I will put on a big show for them here, you just wait and see." ”
