Wuguan, as the gateway to the south of Guanzhong, its strategic location has always been extremely important.

However, for a long time, with the continuous expansion of Qin's territory, Wuguan was already in the hinterland of Qin, and its strategic significance was greatly reduced.

Rao is like this, Wuguan used to have 2,000 Qin troops stationed all year round.

The previous time the six countries joined forces to attack Qin, and the three kingdoms of Chu, Wei, and Han divided Nanyang County of Qin, making Wuguan important again.

The five thousand Qin troops have also become the standing garrison of Wuguan, even if the Qin State has fallen into such a passive situation at this time, the five thousand Qin troops in Wuguan have still not been transferred.

With the steepness of Wuguan, supplemented by 5,000 Qin warriors, it was difficult for Chu, Wei, and Han to attack Qin from this place.

"Stomp, stomp!"

War horses gallop, flags cover the sky, and dust covers the sun.

After Zhao Jia adopted Wang Qian's suggestion, he immediately led his cavalry and galloped towards the southeast Wuguan.

As Wang Jian expected, after Zhao Jia left Yiyang for more than 100 miles, he found that the counties of Qin State here were not fortified and cleared, and the soldiers and war horses finally found something to eat.

In fact, the fortified wall and Qingye were originally a lose-lose strategy, and Qin State's doing this could be said to be a thousand injuries to the enemy and eight hundred self-losses, if it was not a last resort, it would definitely not make such a decision.

The clear field will not only cause heavy losses to the people, but also ruin the reputation of the monarch.

If you are indecisive or cherish feathers, you may not use the shady strategy of clearing the wilderness.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Liu Bei captured the city, and Liu Zhang gathered officials to discuss.

Engaged in Zheng Du's advice, he said: "Although Liu Bei is attacking the city and seizing the land, there are not many soldiers, the soldiers are not attached, Yegu is a resource, and the army has no baggage. It is better to drive the people of Zitong in Brazil and cross the west of Fushui. Its barns and wild valleys are all burned down, and the deep ditches are high, waiting for them. If he asks for war, don't allow it. There was nothing for a long time, but for a hundred days, the soldiers walked on their own. I take advantage of the false attack, and I can catch it. ”

Liu Bei was horrified when he heard this, and hurriedly asked Fazheng.

Fa Zheng replied: "It can't be used in the end, and there is nothing to worry about." ”

Liu Zhang really told his subordinates as Fa Zheng said: "I have heard that I have resisted the enemy to calm the people, and I have not heard that the people have been moved to avoid the enemy." So he dismissed Zheng Du from his official position, and was finally captured by Liu Bei without his strategy.

Although Liu Zhang is not a hero, he can be regarded as a benevolent monarch who treats the people well, so he knows that Jianbi Qingye can resist Liu Bei, but he still does not do that kind of thing.

In order to deal with Zhao Jia, although the Qin State used the strategy of clearing the wilderness, it was only limited to the area of more than 100 miles of Xianyang, and the retreat of Zhao Jia and others.

As for other places, if all the walls are really cleared, even if the 30,000 Zhao troops are finally wiped out, the Guanzhong with no harvest will inevitably hurt the vitality of the Qin State.

Even, many people in Guanzhong will starve to death.

After having grain and grass, Zhao Jia was no longer fearless, and went down the Danshui River and went straight to Wuguan.

Although Wuguan is steep, it is only for outsiders, and it is not difficult to break through from the inside, which is not only related to the fact that Wuguan is mainly to guard against foreign enemies, but also inseparable from the terrain of Wuguan.

Wuguan is built on a relatively flat plateau between the canyons, the north is dependent on the Shaoxi Mountain, the south is bordered by the absolute stream, the river is surrounded by the east, west and south, and the city site is out of the center of the river.

The circumference of this pass is 1.5 kilometers, the city wall is built with soil, slightly square, the east and west open a door respectively, and the roll hole is covered with bricks and stones.

The terrain to the west of Wuguan is relatively flat, belongs to a high and low plain, only Shaoxi Mountain can be used as a barrier, but out of the pass to the east, the mountain road is to stretch the mountainside and winds through, the cliff is high and the valley is deep, narrow and difficult to walk.

There are four ridges on the east side, especially the suspension bridge ridge, which is high and steep, and is known as 'going up the mountain together, not allowed to ride together'.

It is precisely because of this that it is extremely difficult for the rest of the countries to attack the Wuguan from the east gate.

"Your Majesty, there is Shaoxi Mountain in front, if you want to conquer Wuguan, you must first take this mountain."

Zhao Jia asked, "Do you have a good plan to capture Shaoxi Mountain?" ”

Zhao Jia had already understood the terrain of Wuguan, although it was much easier to attack the west gate of Wuguan from within the Qin State, it was not really easy to obtain.

Not to mention anything else, it's just that the rock walls and cliffs on Shaoxi Mountain are all places where one man can not open them.

If it is a strong attack on Shaoxi Mountain, even if the Zhao army can win in the end, the casualties will definitely not be few.

"Don't worry, my uncle has been a general in the Qin State for many years, even if he is finally killed by Lu Buwei and Meng Fu, there are still not a few protégés in the old department."

"Although the vast majority of people have been suppressed, there are still some people who don't have a deep relationship with their uncle on the surface, and they are lucky to escape."

"Wei Ancheng, the capital stationed in Shaoxi Mountain, is my uncle's old department, as long as the king asks me to see this person, I will be able to persuade him to give up resistance, so that our army can capture Shaoxi Mountain without much effort."

"Without the barrier of Shaoxi Mountain, Wuguan is at your fingertips!"

Obviously, Wang Jian belongs to the kind of person who plans and decides, and since he suggested that Zhao Jia go south to attack Wuguan, he naturally had a countermeasure.

didn't think about it, but Zhao Jia hesitated: "Since this person doesn't have a deep friendship with General Wang on the surface, and now he has escaped the purge of Lu Buwei and others, he must have started a new life." ”

"People's hearts are unpredictable, now that General Wang is not here, you are letting the other party betray the country and surrender to the enemy, and it is difficult to guarantee that that person will not ignore the past friendship, not only will he not come to surrender, but he will take you to ask for credit."

"Compared to Shaoxi Mountain and even the entire Wuguan, your Wang Jian is more important in my heart, and I can't let you go on an adventure!"

What Zhao Jia said was deeply meaningful, and in fact, it was indeed heartfelt.

Compared with just a martial pass, Wang Qian, as one of the four famous generals of the Warring States, has greater potential value.

If you can only choose one of the two, Zhao Jia will not hesitate to choose Wang Qian.

Wang Jian lowered his head when he heard this: "Thanks to the love of the king, Wang Jian is grateful, but since Wang Jian is willing to go, he is naturally very sure that he will be able to say that he will surrender this person!" ”

Zhao Jia looked at Wang Qian's confident appearance and asked, "Then do you need me to do anything?" ”

Wang Jian said: "The king can promise high-ranking officials, mansions, and money. ”

For these things outside his body, Zhao Jia was naturally full of promises, but he had some doubts in his heart, if that person really coveted these things, I am afraid it may not be credible.

Just out of trust in Wang Qian, Zhao Jia didn't say anything after all, and let Wang Jian go to act as a lobbyist.

In this way, Wang Jian took off his armor and changed into civilian clothes, and immediately walked towards Shaoxi Mountain alone.

Entering the mountain, Wang Jian suddenly stopped.

He turned his head to look at the location of the army and muttered to himself: "People's hearts are fickle, after such a long time, An Cheng is still not the same An Cheng as before, who can say?" ”

"It's just that the king is like a national soldier on my behalf, even if the road ahead is unpredictable, I am willing to go through it for the king!"

After speaking, Wang Jian did not return to Shaoxi Mountain.
