January 12, 259 B.C., Xingyi Station.

South Taihang is known as "the same party with the sky", living on the ridge of the world and overlooking the Central Plains, so it is called Shangdang County.

This county controls the Shang capital Chaoge and Handan on the left, overlooks the Zhou capital Luoyi, there is Shangdang Xiongfan in the back, and the ancient capital group in southern Jin is connected on the right (Yaodu Pingyang, Yudu Anyi, Shundu Puban, Jindu Quwo and Jiangyi), which is called "Pinghan in Jinnan".

Shangdang County has several roads leading to the outside world, such as Fukou Cheng, Yang Gu Cheng, Bai Cheng and so on.

However, most of the roads in Shangdang County are oriented east-west, and the only north-south road that connects the entire Shangdang County is Taihang County.

Xingyi Station is located in the center of Taihang.

Xingyi, because of the matter of the eight star envoys of the heavenly festival, because the king's envoy is called the star envoy, and the car that the star envoy rides is called Xingyi.

Therefore, the name of the post town in Xingyi, in addition to the use of Dianjiade, also shows the importance of its geographical location.

Due to the influence of the topography of Taihang Mountain, Taihang has made a big bend here, the width of the road is only a few zhang, and the peaks on both sides are low on the left and high on the right to form a narrow and curved canyon.

The Star Station is located at the end of the canyon.

For many years it had been a small inn, with a few old houses, a few not-so-young post men, two fast horses for communication, and most of the day spent in idleness, with the occasional passing caravan moving in.

All of this has changed since the Wild King Castle was breached three years ago.

A team of 100 Qin troops entered this place, and the original few post soldiers turned into a few corpses and bones that were indiscriminately discarded in the wild.

With the efforts of this Qin army, a small pass began to take shape.

It was this small pass that had become the fiercest battlefield in the entire Battle of Changping in the past few days.

Wei Wuji was standing on top of the humble wall of the Xingyi Post at this moment, quietly staring at the northern path.

At this moment, the Star Yi Post was in ruins, with a little blood stains and severed limbs everywhere, obviously having just experienced a big battle.

The path in front of Wei Wuji only stretched a few hundred meters before it was blocked by a towering mountain, but this Xinling Jun was still staring ahead, not knowing what he was thinking.

A moment later, a team suddenly turned out from the path behind the hill and slowly approached the Star Station.

Wei Wuji saw the soldiers, but he was unmoved.

From the style of the armor, Wei Wuji could easily see that this was a soldier of the Wei and Han coalition forces under his command.

A voice suddenly sounded beside Wei Wuji: "The Qin army has retreated to Tianjing Pass on all fronts."

Wei Wuji turned his head slightly and saw Jin Di, the main general of the Han army standing beside him.

Jin Huang and Wei Wuji are both heavily armed with armor and swords, and the only difference is that Jin Huang has blood on his armor.

The blood of the Qin people.

A strong smell of blood emanated from Jin Di's body, and looking at the bloodstains on his body, it was obvious that there were not many Qin people who died under Jin Di's sword.

Not only that, but Wei Wuji could also see that there was a wound on Jin Di's left forearm, and blood was slowly oozing from it.

Wei Wuji sighed and said, "General, as the chief general, why do you bother to go to the battlefield in person?"

Jin Huang snorted, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said angrily: "Punish Qin Man, I want it!"

Wei Wuji shook his head and stopped talking, instead turning his gaze back to the army in front of him that was about to arrive in front of him.

Although Wei Wuji is now nominally the supreme commander of this coalition force, Wei Wuji will not be so stupid as to think that he can arbitrarily dictate Jin Huang's actions, let alone easily interfere with the actions of the Koreans.

So what the Qin army didn't know was that in the battle of Taihang Cheng in these days, the reason why the Han army stood in front and charged into battle was not Wei Wuji's request, but Jin Huang's initiative to apply.

An hour earlier, it was Jin Huang who had taken the lead in attacking the wall of Xingyiyi, and the morale-boosting Wei and Han coalition forces were able to break down the Qin people's defense line in one fell swoop, seizing the pass that had been blocking their footsteps for several days.

At this moment, the team of thousands of people who were slowly returning under the noses of Wei Wuji and Jin Di was the same force that had just been sent out to hunt down the Qin army all the way.

Judging from the fact that many of the men in this force carried their heads in their hands and on their waists, it was clear that the results of this pursuit were very good.

Jin Di took two steps forward, stood side by side with Wei Wuji, and suddenly spoke, "Xinlingjun, do you know why I am fighting so hard?"

Wei Wuji shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Wei Wuji really didn't know, and to be honest, Wei Wuji still felt that Jin Huang was a little stupid.

Although Wei Wuji sent troops to aid Zhao, after all, this was a war between Zhao and Qin, and Wei Wuji's original intention of sending troops was only to protect Zhao and prevent Zhao from being defeated by Qin in a battle.

Therefore, after the annihilation of Sima Terrier's department in the first battle of Yewangcheng, although Wei Wuji also went north according to Zhao Dan's request, Wei Wuji's northward movement was actually neither active nor resolute, especially after the news of Qin Zhao's peace came.

In Wei Wuji's view, since the people of Qin took the initiative to sue for peace, the pattern of Qin and Zhao standing side by side was basically laid, and Wei Wuji's purpose of sending troops at the beginning was achieved.

In that case, why did Wei Wuji use Wei Jun's life to fight to the death, just to give Zhao Guoren a little more benefit at the negotiation table?

But what Wei Wuji never expected was that he was not in a hurry, but Jin Huang was in a hurry.

Since entering Taihang, Jin Huang took the initiative to ask for help as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, leading the Korean army to charge forward, and attacking the city and capturing the pass along the way was really out of death, it was extremely fierce.

Under such circumstances, the number of dead and wounded of the 50,000 Han troops has exceeded 10,000 these days, and the number of dead and wounded of the 100,000 Wei troops has just exceeded 1,000......

But what's the use of you fighting hard? After this battle, Shangdang County will become the territory of Zhao State from now on, and it has nothing to do with Korea.

Therefore, Wei Wuji was very unimpressed with Jin Di's approach, but he didn't bother to care about it.

Jin Di looked at Wei Wuji, a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said, "Xinling Jun must have thought that I had received the benefits of Zhao State, so I fought to the death for Zhao like this, I don't know if it's right?"

Wei Wuji shook his head again: "Wuji doesn't think so."

Jin Huang let out a sigh of relief and said, "Jin Huang's move is not for the Zhao State, but for the survival of South Korea."

"Oh?" Wei Wuji glanced at Jin Di with some surprise.

Jin Huang looked at Wei Wuji, and said with a straight face: "The Qin State wants to annex the heart of the world, and Xinling Jun should have known it."

Wei Wuji nodded.

Jin Huang said: "Since Fan Sui became the prime minister of Qin, he has vigorously advocated that long-distance and close attack. What about a long-range close attacker? It is nothing more than the Yan Qi Chu and the destruction of the Three Jins. Korea was the weakest of the Three Jins, and Qin took the destruction of Han as the first priority, and the Battle of Changping was started from this. ”

Wei Wuji continued to nod.

Jin Huang said: "The three Jin people are also the same qi. If Han is destroyed, then Wei and Zhao will be in danger, and if Zhao is destroyed, then Han and Wei will be destroyed. This letter Lingjun saved Zhao Ye, I don't know if Jin Huang is right? ”

Wei Wuji seemed to understand something when he heard this, and couldn't help but speak: "With the general's intentions, could it be that he wants to join the power of the Three Jin Dynasty to resist Qin?"

"Exactly." Jin Huang said: "Now the Qin country is powerful, if the three Jin Dynasty do not unite and fight as one, then the fate of the fall is determined, I don't know what the son thinks?"

Wei Wuji smiled and glanced at Jin Huang with some sarcasm: "However, the whole world knows that Koreans are also the pioneers of Qin."

That's right, although it is said to be the Three Jins, but since the Battle of Yique, Korea has become the younger brother of the Qin State, and has repeatedly opposed the Zhao State and the Wei State that were originally in the same spirit.

The most typical is the Battle of Huayang thirteen years ago, in which the Wei-Zhao coalition army was defeated by the Qin-Han coalition army, and the Wei army lost as many as 100,000 people.

At that time, it was just when Wei Wangyu had just succeeded to the throne and Wei Wuji had just entered the Wei political arena, so Wei Wuji remembered this vividly, and his hostility and distrust of Korea had already been planted at that time.

Jin Di was not annoyed by Wei Wuji's taunt, but continued: "Childe, in this current situation, all countries are just trying to survive, otherwise how can they come to Qin and Chu? The same is true for South Korea. I have led my troops to fight bravely for several days, just to inform my son, but if I don't die for a day, and the Qin State will not fade for a day, then this alliance of the three Jins, I will advise the king to make it happen. ”

Jin Di's words were extremely sincere, obviously from the heart.

Wei Wuji looked at Jin Huang with a serious face, and couldn't help but sigh softly: "The general's words, Wuji believes them." It's just that Wuji is now a rebel, and it is still difficult to protect himself, so how can he persuade my king to respond to this alliance of the three Jins? ”

Jin Di looked at Wei Wuji seriously, and said: "Childe's words are wrong, in my opinion, Childe is the dragon and phoenix among people, how can he not be sharp for a long time?" In my opinion, within five years, Gongzi will return to Wei and take power. I just hope that the son will not forget what I said today. ”

Wei Wuji shook his head with a wry smile and said, "In that case, then Wuji will trust the general with auspicious words."

In the afterglow of the setting sun, the two fell silent in unison.

Tomorrow, they will continue to lead their army north to attack the last pass in front of them, Tianjing Pass.
