Chapter Fifty-Six: Hexi Wins a Great Victory

The protracted battle between Wei and Qin Hexi had lasted for half a year by this time, and both countries had been a little unable to endure it, especially the Great Wei, whose national strength was not as good as Qin's, was obviously a little exhausted, and the day of victory was approaching.

On this day, Wei Si gathered all the main generals and began to arrange for the decisive battle, after all, Wei Si has not rested much for a long time since he returned from Zilian, and he is basically planning how to win the battle of Hexi, and last night Wei Si and Xiangguo Gongsun Yan finally came up with a clever plan.

Just listen to Wei Si's order:

"Zhai Zhang led 50,000 Wei Mang's soldiers to the Qin army Luoshui must be ambushed, and it is not easy to startle the snake again!"

Zhai Zhang also knelt happily immediately:

"Zhai Zhang obeys!

After all, after holding each other for so long, everyone wants to have a good and hearty fight.

Wei Si then ordered:

"Gongsun Xi led 20,000 Wei soldiers to go to the Hanoi area with great momentum, and cooperate with the Hanoi army and the Han army over there to feint to attack Hangu Pass, did you receive it?"

Gongsun Xi also knelt down excitedly:

"Gongsun is happy to receive the king's order!"

Wei Si set his sights on Han Jiang's uncle and baby:

"Uncle Baby?"

Uncle Baby replied:

"Uncle Han is here!"

魏嗣 says:

"General Han Gongshu Ying obeys the order, this king ordered you to detour to Jingshan with 30,000 elite Han troops to cooperate with General Gongsun Xi to attack Qin Guohan Guguan, but it is just a bluff, not reckless, you know?"

Uncle Baby replied:

"General Han's uncle and uncle will definitely cooperate with General Gongsun Xi to attack the Hangu Pass of Qin!"

Wei Si said to Gongsun Yan again:

"Xiangbang Gongsun Yan listened to the order, from now on, you will lead all the rest of the Wei army to cooperate with the remaining Han army to meet the Qin army with the main force, I believe that Lord Xiangbang should understand how to do it, right?"

Gongsun Yan replied loudly:

"Gongsun Yan obeys the king's orders!"

So the Wei army was fully mobilized.

At this time, he also received a war letter from Gongsun Yan, the commander of the Wei army, and it happened that Zhang Yi of Xiangguo also arrived in Dali City, so he discussed countermeasures with Zhang Yi, Wei Zhang, and the three.

I only heard the disease say:

"The Wei army suddenly declared war on our army, I'm afraid it has reached the end of the road, it seems that the time has come for our Qin State to win a big victory, as long as the nail of Wei State is pulled out this time, our Qin State can be unscrupulously annexed for two weeks in the future, and seek the world!"

Zhang Yi said:

"General Victory, you don't have to be so lucky, since the Wei army dares to challenge our army first, it must have the certainty of defeating our army, so our army cannot underestimate the enemy, all the orders of the king must be stable!"

Lyric replied:

"Of course, I've fought countless tough battles, how can I ever lose? Isn't it all a stable word? Now that the Wei army has been dragging on the Hexi battlefield for nearly half a year, the country must have been exhausted, and the transportation of grain and grass for the Wei army is extremely difficult. ”

Wei Zhang also came over at this time and said:

"Yes, it seems that the Wei State will really become the fish and meat of our Qin State in the future, and after we defeat the Wei State, after occupying Yiyang, South Korea, at that time, Lord Xiangbang, the cause of dominating the world that you planned for the king has almost been half completed!"

Zhang Yi also smiled:

"Yes, it seems that my Zhang Yi's wish is really about to be fulfilled, but recently I have been a little worried about the Chu State, because since the Prime Minister returned to Xianyang, those Chu ministers have come one after another, asking the Prime Minister for a land of six hundred miles, and the Prime Minister was originally to deceive them, but suddenly this Wei State will attack our Qin State, which I did not expect, and now the Prime Minister has to rush back to Xianyang to deal with the affairs of the Chu State!"

She laughed out loud:

"I didn't expect the King of Chu to be so stupid and incompetent, it seems that Zhang Xiang, you went to the Chu State, but you didn't make your little lover Zheng Sleeve comfortable, right?"

Zhang Yi smiled and replied to the tree:

"General Yingji, don't listen to those gossip, I, Zhang Yi, have nothing to do with that Zheng Guifei!"

Zhu Liji gave Zhang Yi a strange look:

"I've heard that our Qin State's spies in the Chu State reported to Junshang, so I'm guessing now, will that Zheng Guifei's son Zilan also have nothing to do with Zhang Xiang?"

Zhang Yi's expression suddenly changed:

"Does the king also know about this?"

Lyric replied:

"Yes, otherwise I would ask you like this now, but it's okay, the king understands that your friendship with Concubine Zheng Guifei of the Chu State is also for the benefit of our Qin State, so the king will not blame Zhang Xiang!"

Zhang Yi was a little relieved at this time:

"This is actually no wonder of the true appearance, it is all blamed on the Chu State Zhaoyu, if he didn't insult me Zhang Yi at the beginning, I wouldn't have given them this green hat to the King of Chu!"

After the two talked again, Zhang Yi left, and at this time, he immediately gathered all the generals of the Qin army and began to arrange a battle strategy with Wei.

However, only three days later, before the Wei army agreed to start the war, Yu Lijian received an urgent report from the King of Qin that the Wei State and the Korean army actually attacked the Hangu Pass from both sides in a roundabout way, and the momentum was huge.

Zhu Lijian was shocked at this time, could it be that this Wei army took the opportunity of the war with him to secretly send troops to attack Hangu Pass?

Wei Zhang also said next to him at this time:

"General Victory, if this Hangu Pass is broken by Han Wei, then our capital Xianyang will be a wisp of Pingchuan without danger to defend? Moreover, Lord Xiangbang has just deceived the king of Chu, in case the state of Chu also takes this opportunity to attack our Qin state with Han Wei, and the main force of our Qin army is dragged by the state of Wei in this west of the river, the capital of the country is in danger! ”

Yu Lijian immediately motioned to Wei Zhang not to continue, and then called the soldier who had just reported the message to come in and ask:

"How many soldiers and horses are there in Han and Wei to attack Hangu Pass now?"

The soldier replied:

"According to the news of the soldiers of Hangu Pass, the soldiers and horses of the two countries are huge, countless, it is speculated that there are nearly 300,000 people, but our Hangu Pass guards are only more than 30,000 people!"

He was shocked:

"What? The Han and Wei troops on both sides of Hangu Pass had nearly 300,000? ”

The soldier said with certainty:

"Yes, three hundred thousand!"

樗里動 was a little incredulous and said:

"How is this possible? If the Han Wei army in Hangu Pass really has 300,000, then could it be that all the soldiers and horses in Hexi have been transferred over there? It seems that this Gongsun Yan is a pretext for a war with me, and if he wants to delay me with more than 100,000 people, I can't fall for its tricks and cause the loss of Hangu Pass! ”

Thinking of this, Zhu Liji immediately ordered Wei Zhang:

"Wei Zhang, General Ben ordered you to immediately mobilize 300,000 Qin troops to Hangu Pass for reinforcements, and General Ben led 100,000 Qin troops to fight the Wei army here!"

Wei Zhang immediately replied:

"Okay, so-and-so will obey!"

He hurried out and began to urgently gather the 300,000 Qin troops nearby to start leaving Dali City and rush to Hangu Pass in a roundabout way.

The 50,000 Wei Mang soldiers led by Zhai Zhang, who were ambushed near Luoshui, saw that the 300,000 Qin army was retreating, and they did not have any more impulses, so they hurriedly ordered someone to report the news to the King of Wei.

Wei Si was overjoyed when he received the news that the Qin army had transferred troops from the Hexi battlefield to Hangu Pass, so he hurriedly began to plan the next step with Gongsun Yan.

When the 300,000 Qin troops approached to Hangu Pass, the Wei and Han troops suddenly stopped attacking Hangu Pass, and when the 300,000 Qin troops arrived at Hangu Pass to search for the traces of Wei and Han armies, they found that the Wei and Han troops that attacked Hangu Pass had actually withdrawn back to Yiyang and Hanoi, and the Korean army that attacked from the inside of Hangu Pass was also missing.

In the Hexi battlefield, the remaining 100,000 Qin troops under the leadership of Zhu Liji, the same approximate number of only 100,000 on the opposite side, and all of them looked old, weak, sick and disabled, set up a decisive battle formation.

With the sound of war drums on both sides, the forward troops of the two armies first rushed into the other camp, but the Qin army, which was strong and strong, was naturally unstoppable.

After a while, the Wei army's vanguard was defeated and returned, so the Wei army began to retreat in a demoralized state under the leadership of Xiangguo Gongsun Yan!

Because he was worried about the battle at Hangu Pass, he was naturally a little anxious, so he wanted to fight a quick battle, and take down these vulnerable Wei troops in Hexi earlier, so he ordered the Qin army to start chasing the Wei army!

And the Wei army also fled all the way to the northeast, and when the Qin army pursued to Linjin Pass, suddenly these Wei troops disappeared all at once.

When he realized that something was wrong and hurriedly ordered people to withdraw his troops, countless Wei troops suddenly appeared from all sides and attacked and killed the Qin army.

Where did the Qin army stop, so they had to struggle to break through and flee westward, and when they retreated to Dali City, they found that Dali City had been occupied by the Wei army at this time, and Sun Yan, the Duke of Wei, persuaded him to surrender on the city tower.

The Luoshui pontoon bridge had already been destroyed by the Wei army, and at this time Zhai Zhang, who was ambushed here, was also excited to lead 50,000 Wei Mang's soldiers to rush over and kill the remnants of the army.

With the Wei army led by Gongsun Yan chasing after him, and cooperating with Zhai Zhang's army After a while, almost all the remaining 30,000 Qin troops were killed, and the main general Yu Lijian was also captured by the Wei army.

After this great victory, the morale of the Wei army was naturally high, and Gongsun Yan immediately asked for orders like Wei Si, who was accepting the surrender in Dali City, to lead his troops to take Xianyang directly, but was stopped by Wei Si, only to hear Wei Si say:

"Although our Wei army defeated the Qin army and recovered the entire Hexi, but now the main force of the Qin army is still there, I am afraid that it already knows about the war in Hexi and has begun to retreat to the Qin capital Xianyang, even if our Wei State now rashly occupies the Qin State, the Eastern countries may not agree, so let the soldiers repair it first!"

Gongsun Yan was obviously a little unhappy at this time, after all, this was an excellent opportunity to destroy Qin.

Wei Si naturally saw that Xiangbang Gongsun Yan was in a mood, and persuaded:

"Gongsun Xiangguo, have you heard the story of a snake swallowing an elephant? The widow has heard that even if a giant snake can devour sheep and even cows, it cannot devour an elephant, because the elephant is too large And now our Wei State is like that giant snake, and Qin State is indeed that elephant! ”

Gongsun Yan also seemed to understand a little and calmed down:

"Thank you, Great King, for reminding me, it was Yan impulsive just now, and now Yan understands that our Wei State is indeed not strong enough to eat the giant elephant of Qin State at this time."
