By the beginning of March, the Wei army had built several military camps in the Hangu Valley and on the mountains on both sides, and these military camps were connected in a line, which was as solid as a pass. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

At the same time, in the southwest direction, about forty miles away from Hangu, the Qin army also built a military camp there that stretched for more than ten miles.

The atmosphere of war suddenly enveloped the land.

For this result, Zhao Hongrun was really helpless.

He thought very well, and with one move, he drove the tiger and devoured the wolf so that the Qin army and the people of the Qian tribe would fight to break the net, and he would sit and reap the profits.

Unexpectedly, someone in the Qin army saw through this, and in turn took this opportunity to reach an armistice agreement with the Qian.

What made Zhao Hongrun even more depressed was that it was no one else who saw through his plan, it was his former friend, Qin Shaojun, who had met in the abandoned watchtower in Huashan in October last year.

“…… So, that's what you agree? ”

Standing on the watchtower of the camp and looking at the southwest direction for a while, Zhao Hongrun turned his head and looked at Ordmer, the great patriarch of the Qiang tribe.

"There's no other way." Erdemer spread his hands and said meaningfully: "We are wolves, and the Qin people are tigers, where can this wolf fight fiercely?" …… There is only one other tiger that can compete with the tiger. Since the other tiger is not prepared to be on our side, we will have to surrender to the other tiger......"

Listening to Erdemer's somewhat mocking words, Zhao Hongrun's face did not change at all, and he asked with a smile: "Have you thought about it?" ”

Hearing this, Erdemo's face changed slightly, and then he said with a smile: "If I really think about it, I won't come." ”

"Huh." Zhao Hongrun chuckled, shook his head and said, "This kind of wall grass is not very happy." ”

Erdemer's face froze for a moment, then he restrained his smile, and said: "Your Royal Highness King Su, you must know that if the Quartet of Yi, Qian, Ling, and Yanjiao Army work together, they can bring some threats to the Qin army, but they can't do it with the strength of our tribe alone. …… At that time, Qian, Ling, and Wang Ting all agreed to the suggestion put forward by that Qin Shaojun, if my tribe objected, then my tribe would be the first to be killed by the Qin army to sacrifice the banner. ”

Speaking of this, Erde Mo saw that Zhao Hongrun's expression was elusive, and said again: "In fact, this situation is also caused because His Royal Highness King Su sees death and does not save him, and wants to use the Qin people to cut off my Qian people, isn't it?" …… The one who is untrustworthy is His Royal Highness King Su! ”

Hearing this, Lu Balon, who was beside Zhao Hongrun, sneered and retorted: "His Royal Highness King Su is untrustworthy? That's ridiculous! …… In the final analysis, you Qian people are incompetent, and you can't beat the Qin people, so what does it have to do with Your Highness? ”

Erdemer frowned and said, "At the beginning, His Highness made an appointment with us, advancing and retreating together......

"That's my Sichuan Alliance!" Lu Baron interrupted Erdmer's words and said coldly: "I remember, the Yi tribe refused to join my Sichuan Alliance. ”

Erdem was speechless, in fact, he was actually very yearning for the Sichuan-Yu Alliance two years ago, after all, with the various trade and peace treaties signed between the Sichuan-Yu and the Wei State at that time, a fool could see that the Sichuan-Yu Alliance would be developed.

The only problem is that there is a prerequisite for joining the Sichuan Alliance, that is, to recognize the status of the Wei alliance leader, which is tantamount to submitting to the Wei state in disguise.

Like the Lun tribe of Lu Balon, it doesn't matter if these tribes of the Qiang people are, because their status in Sanchuan is not high, and they have not looked at the faces of the Qiang people in the past.

The Ke people, in the past, were the real masters of this land - don't look at the Wuxu royal court as a tribe of the Wu tribe, the Ke people are the most powerful force in this land.

And the Yi tribe, as one of the three major tribes of the Qi tribe, how can they bow their heads and surrender to the Wei State?

Although Ordmer is the patriarch of the Yi tribe, he has not been on the throne for a long time, and he does not have enough prestige and power to decide this kind of thing.

Seeing that Erdemo was silent, Zhao Hongrun glanced at Lu Balon, and then smiled and said: "Patriarch Lu Balon don't want to talk so deadly, the Patriarch of Erdmo came to see the king alone at this time, which is enough to prove that the patriarch is the ...... of our side."

Hearing this, Lu Balon put away the coldness on his face, pursed his lips and said, "The heart is on our side, and it doesn't mean that he is a person all the way. …… Let's wait for him to join our Sichuan Alliance first. ”

Seeing Erdmer's complicated expression, Zhao Hongrun said with a smile: "This is not in a hurry, after all, our current priority is to defeat the Qin army." …… As the saying goes, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, and one tiger is destined to quit. Speaking of this, he glanced at Erdemer and said lightly: "Great Patriarch, this king doesn't care about the peace between the Qi clan and the Qin army, but since the arrogant wolf has decided to bow his head to the tiger in the west this time, then this king also hopes that after the tiger in the west is expelled, the wolf will still maintain this humble attitude, otherwise, the tiger in the east will also eat the wolf's ......."

Hearing this, Erdemer reluctantly squeezed out a smile, he knew that in the land of Sanchuan, the previous pattern would be broken, whether it was the victory of the Qin army or the victory of the Wei army, he could no longer be the real protagonist of this land.

"His Royal Highness the King of Zhusu...... A victorious start! ”

Erdemer clenched his fists and congratulated.

"Thanks to the great patriarch Jiyan." Zhao Hongrun laughed.

Although the plan to drive away the tiger and devour the wolf was exploited by that Qin Shaojun, on the other hand, this is also an opportunity for Zhao Hongrun to settle accounts with the Lu family's various departments.

Of course, the premise is that the Wei army must win this battle beautifully, otherwise everything is empty talk.

On the seventh day of the third month, Zhao Hongrun received a battle post from the Qin army, and they agreed to meet the next day to fight in the flat area southwest of Hangu.

"In such a hurry? Isn't the Qin army's camp still unbuilt? ”

Zhao Hongrun muttered while carefully looking at the battle post.

The handwriting of this battle post was very correct, which made him a little suspicious if it was from the handwriting of that Qin Shaojun.

Although this suspicion does not make much sense.

I have to say that Zhao Hongrun didn't plan to take the initiative to attack at first, after all, the reason why he was stationed in Hangu was not only to use the hands of the Qin people to weaken the Qin people, but also to consider the huge number of troops of the Qin army.

But now, due to Qin Shaojun's relationship, the Qiang tribe has withdrawn from the battlefield, watching the fire from the other side, and watching the two tigers fight, Zhao Hongrun feels that it is still necessary to show the strength of the Wei army, lest those Qiang people fall to the side of the Qin army.

So, Zhao Hongrun sent someone to send a reply to the Qin army, agreeing to this covenant.

The next day, that is, on the eighth day of the third month, Zhao Hongrun ordered the Shang Shui Army and the Yanling Army to send 10,000 men each to set up a formation on the west side of the Hangu Wei camp.

In this regard, Qin Shaojun and Wang Di, the general of the Qin army, were stunned.

Because the location of the Wei army's formation was too close to their Hangu Wei camp, this meant that once the Wei army was defeated in this battle, the steep Hangu would immediately fall into the hands of the Qin army.

It stands to reason that the prince of Wei, who has made great achievements, would not commit such an omission, right?

Or has the other side decided that this battle will be won?

"What a haughty boy!"

Wang Yi, the fierce general of the Qin army, was enraged, and in his opinion, Zhao Hongrun's deployment of troops like this simply did not take their Qin army into account.

Is it tolerable or unbearable!

In a fit of rage, Wang Yi ordered more than 100,000 troops, pressed towards Hangu, and arranged troops about five miles away from the Wei army's array.

The Wei army has 20,000 soldiers, while the Qin army has more than 100,000 soldiers.

He felt that Zhao Hongrun was too trusted, and with 20,000 Wei troops to fight against more than 100,000 Qin troops, not to mention, just that this battlefield was only a stone's throw away from the Hangu Wei camp, once the Wei army lost, there would be no chance to save the situation.

Regarding Lintaojun Wei Ji's persuasion, Zhao Hongrun didn't care, and explained with a smile: "This is the bait. …… If I don't lay a heavy bait, I believe that this battle of the Qin army is at most a temptation, what's the point? The strength of our army was exposed, but it was not possible to achieve the expected results. …… But now that this king is in such a formation, the Qin army will not only think about testing the strength of our army. ”

Lintao Jun Wei Ji suddenly realized when he heard this, but he was inevitably still a little worried: "With 20,000 to resist more than 100,000 Qin troops, is Your Highness sure?" ”

"Resist?" Zhao Hongrun glanced at Lintaojun Wei Ji, then shook his head and said lightly: "Today, it will be a massacre!" ”

Just when Zhao Hongrun and Wei Ji were talking in a low voice, the Qin army in the distance had already begun to make a move.

The first to attack, sure enough, was the Ge Dun soldiers, who were the backbone of the Qin army, these strong Qin soldiers, with neat steps, slowly advanced towards the Wei army, and then gradually stopped at a distance of about two miles.

And as the Ge Dun soldiers pressed forward, the Qin army as a whole also slowly moved forward.

"Almost......"

Zhao Hongrun estimated the distance, waved his hand, and said, "Let Qin Jun see my Great Wei's repeater." ”

At the same time, Qin Shaojun was riding a war horse in the rear formation, looking at the Wei army without movement with a puzzled expression.

He...... What exactly do you want to do?

Qin Shaojun was thinking about it, and suddenly saw that the formation of the Wei army in the distance had changed, and the Wei army in the front row spread out to both sides, revealing rows of strange giant crossbows behind them.

"Put!"

With a loud slogan coming from the Wei army's side, all of a sudden, black shadows attacked the Qin army's Ge Dun soldiers from the Wei army's defense line.

What is that?

A hint of doubt flashed in the eyes of one of the front-row shields.

However, at this moment, he suddenly felt a numbness in his hands, and then there was a loud bang, and the solid bronze shield in his hand was torn apart.

How...... What's going on?

The shield soldier looked ahead in confusion.

Where's my giant shield?

He lowered his head, only to see a pile of bronze shards scattered in front of him.

At the same time, he also found that a large hole had been broken in the leather armor on his chest, and red blood was hissing from the inside.

When a sharp pain hit, he lost consciousness.

During that period, the Ge shield soldiers, who were the backbone of the Qin army, fell down one by one as if they were like wheat swept by a strong wind, and one by one, slender crossbow arrows as thick as knuckles easily pierced their proud shields, and then pierced their flesh and blood, and then even the Ge shield soldiers with shields penetrated the back row.

In the blink of an eye, this shield army was almost completely wiped out.

How can it be?! The giant shield of the shield soldier actually ...... Actually......

Qin Shaojun, who was watching the battle in the rear formation, only felt creepy, and involuntarily bit the nail of his thumb, looking at the Wei army on the opposite side with a complicated expression.

"Liar ......" (To be continued.) )
