The Qin army retreated to Hangu Pass, and the Three Kingdoms Coalition Army of Wei Chu and Zhao also suddenly stopped their offensive and settled down in Michi, which was only more than 30 miles away from Hangu Pass. The Zhao army faced the enemy head-on, and the Wei and Chu armies spread out in the southeast, strictly blocking the passage of the Qin army east out of the Kunshan Mountain.

Faced with such a crisis, King Qin thought of Bai Qi again. Even though Bai Qi Changping was newly defeated, in his opinion, as long as Bai Qi came out of the mountain, the Three Kingdoms Alliance in front of him would be a group of rabble. Unexpectedly, the messenger sent to urge Bai Qi returned again.

The king of Qin, who received the reward, finally couldn't bear it anymore, and said secretly in his heart: "This king did not treat you for the crime of humiliating the country in vain, and it is already an extrajudicial grace." But you don't want to be grateful, and when the national disaster is at the head, you still say that you can't get sick, how is this different from rebellion? This king doesn't believe that except for you Baiqi, there is no one in Daqin! ”

Thinking of this, King Qin immediately summoned Changshi and issued an edict: "Depose Bai and rise to the title of Wu'an Jun!" Degraded to a soldier and moved to Yinmi! ”

The news that the King of Qin wanted to oust Wu Anjun soon spread in the Qin army camp in Hangu Pass, and the whole army was in an uproar. The next day, a large cloth blood book jointly signed by all the generals above the commander of a thousand commanders arrived in front of the King of Qin, with only eight words: begging for forgiveness, my king thinks twice.

At this time, the king of Qin was discussing with the state lieutenant Sima Terrier and the prime minister Fan Ju, who hurried from Xianyang, in the study of the temporary palace. When the blood book slowly unfolded, everyone's faces instantly changed color. King Qin was also silent for a long time, and then looked up at Sima Terrier: "What does the national lieutenant think?" ”

Sima Terrier did not hesitate at all, and said: "Now Wei Chu Zhao's 400,000 troops are pressing the border, the country is in danger, and it is the time to employ people, and the heart of the soldiers cannot be violated, and the minister asks my king to pardon Wu Anjun for the crime of disobedience." ”

King Qin patiently listened to Sima Terrier finish speaking, but his face became more and more gloomy.

Seeing that King Qin was walking towards him again, Fan Ju hurriedly lowered his head, but he couldn't help but shudder in his heart, the king was murderous.

"Prime Minister, you say." King Qin stood in front of Fan Ju and asked lightly.

Fan Ju bowed his head and was silent.

King Qin comprehended, waved his hand, and said to Sima Terrier: "You go out first." ”

"No!" Sima Terrier bowed deeply towards King Qin, then glanced at Fan Ju, turned around and left the study.

"The prime minister can talk about it now." King Qin returned to the desk and sat down, revealing a nonchalant expression.

"Bai Qi is already deeply ingrained in the army, and the soldiers only know Wu Anjun, but not King Qin." Fan Ju sighed secretly in his heart, "Bai Qi, Bai Qi!" Even if you are a military wizard, but you don't know the power and strategy, and you call yourself a hero? ”

After hearing this, King Qin was silent for a long time, and his brows suddenly wrinkled: "What does the prime minister mean?" ”

"When it is broken, it is broken!" Fan Ju lowered his voice and leaned over to say.

King Qin couldn't help but stand up again, pacing back and forth in the study: "This king can't bear it. ”

"Today's soldiers are forcing the palace, and they are bound to become tigers, if they pardon Wu Anjun, how can the country be embarrassed?" Fan Ju said expressionlessly.

Hearing this, King Qin finally made up his mind, gritted his teeth and said, "Since this is the case, the prime minister will do it." ”

"The old minister will return to Xianyang immediately!" Fan Ju replied, and then hurriedly retreated.

At this time, the alliance forces of Wei, Chu and Zhao outside Hangu Pass were divided. The two joint attacks of the Six Kingdoms on Qin ended in a major defeat, which also made Chun Shenjun and Xinling Jun more or less afraid of the Qin army's combat strength. Chunshen monarch Zhang saw that it was good, and he accepted it, and it was enough to recover the lost territory that was encroached upon by the Qin State. Although Xinling Jun didn't say a word, his intention was also obvious: Hangu Pass was a hard bone, so it was okay not to attack it.

Zhao Kuo knew that although Changping defeated the Qin army in the first battle, he also lost 300,000 elites. After this battle, Zhao's national strength was on the verge of collapse, if Wei Chu withdrew his troops at this time, he would not be able to attack Hangu Pass with his more than 200,000 tired troops alone.

The three of them argued for a night, but they didn't discuss any results. Back in the camp, Zhao Kuo was irritable, so he climbed the lookout tower more than three feet high outside the handsome tent alone. Raise your eyes to the west, Hangu Pass under the autumn sunrise, just a small black spot in the mountains, in the pale yellow field outside the pass is the newly constructed camp of the Qin army, the mountains are full of black flags, faintly, but not really. Looking up again, I saw a team of fast horses outside the camp coming in the dust, could it be that Pingyuanjun had arrived? Zhao Kuo's heart moved, and he hurriedly walked down the watchtower.

"Report to the general, and wait outside the camp for the general Lecheng." The military officials hurried to Zhao Kuo and reported loudly.

"Lecheng?" Zhao Kuo's face changed slightly, Le Cheng is the son of the famous general Le Yi, Le Yi, Zhao Kuo is naturally very respectful, but he has an indescribable disgust towards Le Cheng.

"Invite him in." Zhao Kuo straightened his clothes and armor, turned around and walked into the big tent.

The big tent of the Chinese army is very clean, and in the middle of the handsome case is a sword given by the prince of Zhao, on the left is the soldier seal letter, and on the right is the order flag and arrow. Behind the handsome case stands a huge screen, and on one side of the screen, a huge wooden topographic map of Hangu Pass is impressive.

"What happened to the general?" Zhao Kuo sat in the handsome case, and looked at Lecheng who strode into the tent lightly.

Le Cheng came in all the way and didn't see Zhao Kuo coming out, and he was already very dissatisfied in his heart, and now he saw Zhao Kuo with a serious face on top of him, and his face became even more ugly. But after all, he was only a deputy general, and because of etiquette, Le Cheng had no choice but to raise his head and arch his hand and say loudly: "Le Cheng was ordered by King Zhao to take over the post of deputy general of Zhao Zhuang." ”

"Where is the edict?" Zhao Kuo glanced at Lecheng, who was pouting and standing in the tent like a stake, with a smile on his face.

Le Cheng was bored, so he handed over the edict and said, "The general has seen it himself." ”

Zhao Kuo took the edict and glanced at it, then waved his hand, and let the military officer lead Le to the seat on the lower left side of the handsome case. After the music was settled, Zhao Kuo put the edict aside and said with a smile: "There is no wine in the army, does the general drink tea?" ”

"No need! Lecheng was ordered, but galloped to drive the battle array. Up to this point, Lecheng still looked reluctant.

Zhao Kuo laughed, as if he was unconscious: "If the general thinks like this, the country is also fortunate." ”

"The Qin army is guarding according to the pass, and the general thinks, how should our army respond?" After Zhao Kuo smiled, Le Cheng couldn't wait to ask.

"In the general's opinion, what should I do?" Zhao Kuo threw the question to Lecheng.

"The Qin division was defeated in a row and demoralized. Lecheng is willing to lead the army to annihilate the main force outside the pass first, and then break through the pass and advance westward, and go straight to Xianyang. Lecheng almost blurted out.

"The general's idea is solid, but if the enemy cannot be annihilated, the Qin army retreats into the pass, with the narrow and deep between the passes, the pass can accommodate at most a thousand people, but how can the army be at the mercy?" Zhao Kuo gently knocked on the handsome case and asked in a cold voice.

"This ......" Le Cheng was speechless for a moment.

At this moment, the scout went straight into the big tent and hurriedly reported: "General, the Qin army has been dispatched!" Storming my frontier ramparts! The two armies of Wei and Chu did not move! ”

"Oh?" The Qin army has been defeated in a row, but what does it mean to fight at this time? Zhao Kuo was puzzled, so he stood up and walked to the big picture. Le Cheng, who was on the side, couldn't hold it back, and said solemnly: "General, the last general asks for his life, and leads the army to meet the battle!" ”

Zhao Kuo looked at the map and pondered for a moment and said, "That is the case, Lecheng listens to the order!" ”

"In!" Le Cheng swept away his previous gloomy face and agreed loudly.

"Order you to lead 80,000 troops to meet the invading Qin army! Remember to only retreat from the enemy, not pursue the enemy! Zhao Kuo commanded sharply.

"What does that mean?" Le Cheng suddenly returned to his original expression, and asked with great dissatisfaction, but saw that Zhao Kuo closed his eyes and stopped talking. Lecheng stomped his foot helplessly, turned his head and went straight out of the tent to order troops.

"The Qin army has been defeated and is retreating." Half an hour later, Sima of the Chinese army hurriedly entered the account to report.

"Mingjin retreats!" Zhao Kuo laughed, and then passed the general order.

It didn't take long for Le Cheng to walk in and muttered unwillingly: "The Qin army is vulnerable, and is about to take advantage of the situation to capture Hangu Pass, but the general is ......"

Zhao Kuo smiled slightly: "General, don't worry, sit down for a while and you'll find out." ”

Not long after, the scout reported that the two Qin army ambushes had already driven out of the valley and withdrawn to the barrier.
