In July, the sun is blazing and the weather is very hot.

At the head of Pingzhou City, Captain Su Mo stood with his sword pressed, looking at the mountains in the distance, his face was extremely solemn.

"Stomp, stomp!"

The sound of hurried footsteps came from far and near, and the scouts came in the dust, with a little fear in their eyes.

"Captain Qiyu, the army under the command of Meng Fu is already less than twenty miles away from Pingzhou!"

Su Mo looked at the tired scout, and after asking for information in detail, he immediately signaled the other party to retreat.

"Is it finally here?"

"It's just that I didn't expect that Meng Fu didn't focus on attacking the Turkish army fortress, but instead made a detour of hundreds of miles to attack Pingzhou."

Su Mo, born in a big family, has studied literature and martial arts since childhood, and likes to read military books.

In the war against the invasion of the Yan Kingdom, Su Mo resolutely joined the army, and it was not too brilliant at first.

It was only after accumulating experience that Su Mo emerged, combining the art of war he had learned with practice, and then began to accumulate steadily.

Last year, when Su Mo followed Zhao Jia to attack the land of Shenqi, his performance was extremely good.

In addition, Su Mo was born from an extraordinary background and was also quite powerful in the court, so Zhao Jia also took advantage of the situation to woo Su Mo, made him serve as the captain, and handed over the Pingzhou fortress to Su Mo to garrison.

In the face of Zhao Jia's respect and trust, Su Mo also tried his best.

It's just that now that Meng Fu is commanding 100,000 elite Qin troops, Su Mo, who has never commanded a large army alone, is still a little nervous.

"Recall all the soldiers outside the city, close the city gates, and prepare for battle!"

Su Mo took a deep breath, barely calmed the tension in his heart, and commanded the herald beside him.

Then, Su Mo turned his head to look at Qi Xuan and asked, "Have all the people in the city been expelled?" ”

Qi Xuan was Zhao Qian's fox friend in Handan City, and he followed Zhao Qian to humiliate Zhao Jia, but he was slapped in the face on the street.

After that incident, Qi Xuan also became a lot more mature.

Later, Yan Guo tried his best to attack, and Qi Xuan, a gentleman, actually resolutely joined the army, and happened to be assigned to Zhao Jia.

Friendship on the battlefield is always remembered.

The lame veteran's teaching and desperate help also made Qi Xuan begin to gradually transform, no longer the tyrannical gentleman, but a fierce general in the army who kills with iron and blood.

After winning the battle against Yan, Qi Xuan did not choose to disarm and return to the field, but stayed in the army and was promoted for merit.

When Zhao Jia captured the land of Shenqi, Qi Xuan also followed.

Zhao Jia naturally did not remember the hatred of Handan City that day, but had a very strong affection for Qi Xuan, the former little fat man.

Therefore, Qi Xuan was appointed by Zhao Jia as the deputy general of Pingzhou to help Su Mo defend the city.

Today's Qi Xuan, the excess fat on his body has disappeared, and his figure has become extremely well-proportioned, and the skin that has become tanned due to too much sun exposure also makes Qi Xuan look more manly.

"The people of the city have been completely expelled."

Hearing this, Qi Xuan hurriedly stepped forward to answer.

At this time, Qi Xuan knew that the military order was like a mountain, and knew that there was a difference between dignity and inferiority in the army, and he was no longer the gentleman he used to be.

It's just that Qi Xuan had a look of hesitation on his face.

"What's wrong?"

Su Mo saw the expression on Qi Xuan's face and asked with a frown.

Qi Xuan hesitated for a long time, but finally gritted his teeth and said: "Gongzi once said that you must treat the people of Shenqi land well, only in this way can you give them a sense of belonging." ”

"My subordinates don't know why the governor moved all the people in the city out of the city, and even forcibly expelled those who didn't want to move out of the city."

"Wouldn't this make these people resentful?"

"What's more, mobilizing the people to help defend the city can also greatly relieve the pressure on the soldiers to defend the city, and drive them all out of the city, isn't it weakening yourself?"

Su Mo glanced at Qi Xuan deeply and explained, "Before Ping Zhou, it was owned by the Qin State, and most of the people here had a deep sense of belonging to the Qin State. ”

"If these people are allowed to remain in the city, and when the army is led by Meng Fu to attack the city, what if the people are in trouble?"

Seeing that Qi Xuan was about to speak and stopped, Su Mo directly interrupted: "Everything must be prepared in advance, even if the possibility of this kind of thing happening is very small, you must take precautions." ”

"After all, whether or not Pingzhou can be held is related to the life and death of the entire Shenqi land, even if those people who were driven out of Cheng hold grudges against me, the slightest accident will never be allowed."

When Qi Xuan heard this, he was silent for a long time, and then bowed solemnly to Su Mo.

Outside the city, there was a sea of 100,000 Qin soldiers.

Meng Wei stood on top of the chariot, looking at the towering mountains and cities in the distance, and there was no relaxation on his face.

Today's Mengfu is in the year of the sixtieth year, and he is almost about to reach the age of ancient rarity.

At this age, Meng Fu was not very suitable for the southern and northern wars, but the elderly Meng Fu still had great ambitions.

In addition, after the death of Zi Baiqi, the outstanding generals of the Qin State were a little unable to make ends meet, and they were in the three dynasties of King Qin Zhaoxiang, King Qin Xiaowen, and King Xiang of Qin Zhuang, and their influence even exceeded that of Qin Xiang Lu Buwei.

Therefore, almost all the major battles related to the fate of the Qin State are personally driven by this veteran.

Beside Meng Fu, there was also a man in his forties who looked six points similar to him, holding a sword and looking into the distance.

"Father, Pingzhou is surrounded by mountains and rivers, easy to defend and difficult to attack, plus the Zhao army has been prepared for a long time, and if you want to attack it, I'm afraid you will lose a lot of soldiers."

This man is called Mengwu, the son of Mengwu.

Historically, Meng Fu once followed Wang Jian to attack the Chu State twice, killed the famous general Xiang Yan of the Chu State in the first battle, captured the King of Chu in the Second Battle, and destroyed the Chu State.

Although those two wars were dominated by Wang Qian, Mengwu also made a lot of efforts.

"It would be a blessing if we could storm and win Pingzhou."

Meng Wei glanced at his son, but shook his head, with a little worry on his face.

Meng Fu had a detailed understanding of Zhao Jia and knew that although this person had just won the crown, whether it was wisdom, bravery, or the art of war, all of them should not be underestimated.

After half a year of operation, the land of Shenqi will not be so easy to capture.

Don't look at Meng Biao now as the official and the secretary, even Lu Buwei has to give him three points of thin face, but after the big defeat not long ago, Meng Biao's prestige has been somewhat hit.

Historically, Meng Fu captured 37 Zhao cities, and after Qin Shi Huang ascended the throne, he first captured 13 cities, and after Wei Wuji's death, he successively captured 20 cities of Wei.

In history, there have been four dynasties and great achievements.

It's just that now, due to the appearance of Zhao Jia, Meng Fu failed to capture the thirty-seven cities of Zhao State, missing a great feat.

Ying Zheng did not succeed to the throne, let alone capture Korea and the cities of Wei.

At this time, Mengfu's prestige cannot be compared with the peak period in history, and the big defeat not long ago still has a lot of impact on Mengfu.

Meng Wei was originally a Qi person, and if he wanted Meng to continue to gain a foothold in the Qin State, he could only go through war and be disgraced.

Therefore, this war is not just a war between countries for Mengfu and even Montessori.
