Hedong County, Zhaoguo.

On the plain outside Quwo City, the two armies of Qin and Zhao confronted each other, and the camp tents on both sides stretched for dozens of miles, as far as the eye could see.

The sky had just darkened, and countless lights lit up from the Qin army camp, like a little star, reflecting this camp in the dark night into a galaxy on the ground.

Wu Anjun, the commander of the 200,000 Qin army, sat in the big tent with a bamboo slip in his hand and watched quietly.

There was a sound of footsteps coming from far and near, towards the big tent.

Outside the tent, the voices of the guards were heard: "The name of the person who came! ”

"General Sima Jin, come by order!"

"General, do you want Sima Jin to enter the account?"

Bai Qi didn't look up, and said lightly: "Let him come in." ”

The curtain that the tent used to act as a door was lifted, and Sima Jin's tall figure rushed in with a fresh breeze of a summer night, making the entire tent seem to become much cooler all at once.

"The last general, Sima Jin, has seen the general!" As Sima Jin spoke, he stared at a mosquito that had just landed on his nose, and seeing that the mosquito was about to start sucking blood, Sima Jin finally stretched out his hand unbearably.

"Smack!" After a crisp sound, the corpse of a mosquito appeared in Sima Jin's palm.

Sima Jin stretched out his hand and flicked the corpse of the mosquito away, then moved his gaze back to Bai Qi and said, "I don't know what happened when the general summoned the last general late at night?" ”

Bai Qi slowly raised his head, the black and white pupils always seemed to have a little inexplicable awe-inspiring eyes, two strands of white hair hung down from the side of his cheeks, although he looked old, but he made people feel that this body was still full of energy.

It's weird, but it's a harmonious feeling.

"Sima Jin, how long do you think it will take for this Zhao Guoren's defense line to be breached?" Bai Qi asked.

These days, Sima Jin, as a forward general, has been fighting with Zhao Guoren.

Sima Jin patted his chest and smiled very heroically when he heard this, and said loudly to Bai Qi: "Please rest assured, the general is tired, these Zhao people are tired, the general only needs to give the last general enough soldiers and horses, and at most the end of three days will definitely be able to break through the defense line of the Zhao people!" ”

"Three days?" After Bai Qi heard Sima Jin's reply, a strange look suddenly appeared on his face, which seemed to be sarcastic and self-deprecating.

"Sima Jin, you know that we don't have as much time as three days."

"What?" Sima Jin was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "General, why is this?" Could it be that Xianyang City is asking for a retreat? ”

Although Sima Jin is indeed a fierce general, this does not mean that he has no political sense at all.

On the contrary, there are times when the intuition of a crude person like Sima Jin may be more accurate than that of many people who have spent their lives in politics.

Ever since he learned that Qin Wangzhu had returned to heaven, Sima Jin was a little worried in his heart that Xianyang didn't know when an order would suddenly come from Xianyang, asking the Qin army in Hedong County to retreat, and then negotiate peace with Zhao State.

I have to say that Sima Jin's intuition is still relatively accurate. There is indeed such a voice in the political arena of the Qin State that wants to negotiate peace, but it has not yet formed a scale.

Bai Qi shook his head and denied Sima Jin's speculation: "You are wrong, there is no withdrawal order in the direction of Xianyang. On the contrary, the prince hopes that we will make persistent efforts to recover Hedong as soon as possible. ”

Sima Jin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this, and said, "This is naturally excellent, but if this is the case, then why does the general say that we have no time?" ”

Bai Qi stood up, walked to the map hanging on one side of the wall in the big tent, and said to Sima Jin, "Come here." ”

After Sima Jin came over, Bai Qi pointed to a certain city in the map and said to Sima Jin: "Do you know where this is?" ”

Sima Jin glanced at it and replied, "General Hui, this is Anyi City." ”

Bai Qi nodded and said, "Within three days, Lian Po's vanguard will appear under Anyi City." ”

"What?" Sima Jin was taken aback when he heard this, and couldn't help but rush out: "How is this possible?" ”

"It's naturally possible." Bai Qi continued to move his hand downward, and then pointed to the edge of the Yellow River: "According to the information urgently sent by Hangu Pass, the traces of the Zhao army's large army have now been found outside the pass. ”

"Hangu Pass?" Sima Jin paused for a moment before he said: "The defensive measures of Hangu Pass are extremely in place, presumably it will not be easy for the people of Zhao to break through Hangu Pass. ”

Bai Qi shook his head and said, "The people of Zhao don't have to break through Hangu Pass at all. What appears outside Hangu Pass now is simply Lian Po's suspicious soldiers. ”

As he spoke, Bai Qi's fingers moved up slightly, landed on the Zhongtiao Mountain on the north bank of the Yellow River, and lightly tapped in the middle of the Zhongtiao Mountain Range: "Where is this?" ”

Sima Jin thought for a while and said, "This is Yiguan. ”

Bai Qi nodded and said: "Under normal circumstances, this Lian Po should have come to reinforce Hedong through the Yiguan Pass, or it was only right for Lian Po to go to Baicheng through the Duan clan, but Lian Po appeared in Hangu Pass, a hundred miles away, don't you think this is abnormal?" ”

Sima Jin couldn't help but be a little stunned when he heard this, and only said after a while: "So Wu Anjun means ......"

Bai Qi said: "My meaning is very simple, there must be a demon when things go wrong." Now that Lian Po will appear in front of Hangu Pass, then Anyi may be threatened! ”

Sima Jin thought for a long time, and finally slapped his thigh and said, "So Wu Anjun thinks that Lian Po is planning to attack Anyi and outflank our army's rear road?" ”

Bai Qi nodded and said, "That's right, although the Zhongtiao Mountain Range is difficult and dangerous, but since Lian Po has done this, he must have found a way." If Lian Po and his army suddenly appear under Anyi, then Anyi will definitely be defeated. Once Anyi is broken, our army's rear road has been completely lost, so it will be difficult to defeat Zhao Guoyi in this battle. ”

Sima Jin seemed to understand something, and immediately shouted at Bai Qi: "General, the last general is willing to lead the troops back to Anyi!" ”

"Good." Bai Qi nodded with great satisfaction, and said to Sima Jin: "I give you 10,000 soldiers and horses, you must defend Anyi to the death, as long as you hold it for a period of time, when I break through Quwo, then this battle can be declared victorious!" ”

"Whoa!" Sima Jin didn't talk nonsense, he received the military order directly from Bai Qi and left in a hurry.

The night wind blew through the cracks into the tent, bringing wisps of wings to the tent.

Bai Qi sat quietly for a long time, and a sneer appeared on his face.

"Lian Po, Lian Po. Thou hast made such a calculation, but thou hast taken great pains, but thou hast not wanted to think about how thou shalt be deceived by such a simple scheme in my life. I want to see, what kind of expression will you have when you find that the city of Anyi is already impregnable? ”

"As long as Anyi is not broken, then no matter how resourceful Ru Lianpo is, it is impossible to change the defeat of Zhao State in the Hedong battlefield!"
