Overnight, the state of Qin was in jeopardy; Overnight, Xianyang became the front line of the war. Dozens of horsemen rushed out of Xianyang overnight, tens of thousands of city dans transported the corn in the warehouse outside the city into the city, Shaofu hurriedly opened the seal to check the armor in the warehouse, and the officials went door to door to inform Fu Jiqian that the head of the Qianshou would be levied tomorrow......

This all happened overnight, and when he looked at the court in the early morning, Zhao Zhengyi, who could not hide the tiredness on his face, said that the Chu army had arrived in Shangyi and approached Shangluo, which was four hundred miles away, and the huge Zhengchao seemed to have instantly sucked away all the air and turned into a vacuum that could not transmit sound waves.

The ministers changed color. They know what the concept of 400 li is. The 400-mile journey is only four days, and with the Chu army's lightness, it may only take three days. On the third day, the Chu army came to Xianyang, this was not a surprise attack like the last time, it was an attack by tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of troops.

"The minister asked the king to order Li Xin to save Xianyang quickly." The first to react was Feng Quji, who was more proficient in military affairs than others, and knew that those old and weak people in the pass could not hold Lantian. "Please ask the king to avoid Yongcheng again."

The minister seconded. The minister seconded the proposal...... "The whole court is seconded." "Jing people have thundering weapons, and the king must not stay in Xianyang."

After seconding the proposal, the courtiers once again proposed the policy of temporarily avoiding Yongcheng. Li Xin was hundreds of miles away, and only by temporarily taking refuge in Yongcheng could he wait for Li Xin to lead the army back to help Guanzhong.

"The Jing people attacked Nanjun, and the national lieutenant didn't know it; The Jing people attacked Wuguan, and the national lieutenant did not know. The minister asked the king to send Li Xin back to aid Guanzhong, and the minister also asked the king to temporarily avoid Yongcheng, and the minister asked the king to change the state captain to punish his crimes. Li Si suddenly became difficult, and pointed directly at Wei Yi.

His words aroused a lot of approval among the ministers, and everyone was about to second, Zhao Zheng flicked his sleeves and said: "The widow appointed Weiqing as the lieutenant, with your will, the widow is also guilty?" ”

"The minister didn't say anything." Li Si was shocked in his heart, he was now tied to Xiong Qi on a rope. In line with the inherent hatred of civilian officials for military attachés, he thought that he could bring down Wei Yu. "The minister only said that the national lieutenant was derelict in his duties, if it weren't for that, why did the Jing people pull out Nanjun and Nanyang within a month, and why did they quickly break through Wuguan and enter Xianyang?"

"What the court captain said is very true, and the minister is indeed guilty." As soon as Li Si's words fell, Wei Yi himself came out to confess. "The ministers were incompetent and could not report to Jing Guo, so that the Jing people pulled out the two counties of Daqin within a month; The minister was derelict in his duty and did not know that the Jing people came against the Danshui, causing him to bypass the Wuguan and want to enter Xianyang. The minister is guilty, please punish the king! ”

"Why is Wei Qing here? This is not a crime of war! When the nations attacked, was there a case of breaking a city in one day and more than a dozen cities in a month? Zhao Zheng was excusing Wei Yu, and he was even more lamenting the speed of the Chu army's breakthrough of the city. If the Qin army had half the speed of the Chu army, the Zhao state would have perished long ago.

His compassionate words brought tears to Wei Yi's eyes, and his questioning words shocked the ministers. Breaking a city in one day, what about Xianyang? If Xianyang is also pulled out within one day, it doesn't mean that in three days at most, he will face the great blade of the Chu people - every time the Chu army occupies a place, they will kill officials and traitors, and as a Qin minister, is he also among the beheaders?

"The widow wants to lead the army to fight with King Jing in Lantian ......" was silent, and Zhao Zheng's voice echoed in the court.

"The king must not!" Feng Quji bowed anxiously, "Guanzhong is old and weak, how can he be the enemy of the Jing people?" ”

"The king must not!" Following him, the entire courtiers of the court knelt down and bowed. Once Zhao Zheng defeated Lantian, Xianyang would be finished, and if Xianyang was pulled out, the Qin State might die.

Zhao Zheng was unmoved, and only said: "For more than 80 years, the Jing people also attacked Lantian, did the first king Zhaoxiang avoid Yongcheng?" How can the widow avoid Lantian and ignore the temple and the community? The widow has made up his mind, so you don't need to persuade him again. ”

Once Zhao Zheng brought out King Qin Zhaoxiang, once he brought out the Taimiao and Taishe, the ministers did not dare to persuade him even if he wanted to. Zhao Zheng was very satisfied with the silence of the ministers, and he announced: "The Jing people are attacking this time, and there is a strange plan to stop the Jing people from Lantian, and they will be rewarded heavily." ”

Last night, Zhao Zheng and Wei Yi discussed until dawn, and wrote down a plan every time they thought of it. Zhao Zheng rewarded him for his calculations, saying that it was a rush to seek medical treatment, or that it was a wide range of words. In any case, the Qin army had to defend Lantian and wait for reinforcements.

*

When Zhao Zheng announced the heavy reward, 600,000 Qin troops were passing through the Kunsai in the southeast of the Kunshan Mountain. This ancient road has been opened since the summer and has survived for thousands of years. In the dog summer, the Qin army only marched in the early morning and morning, and had to camp and rest after noon. In this way, you can only walk for four or five hours a day, fifteen miles per hour, but only sixty or seventy miles.

As the temperature gradually rises, even if you walk for four hours in the morning, more and more soldiers are suffering from heat stroke and fainting. After crossing the river, the army could only walk for four hours a day, and if it was a mountain road, each hour was only ten miles, and barely forty miles.

The marches were all in a queue, and under normal circumstances the army marched in separate columns, but the road in the valley was rugged, and the narrowest part was less than twenty paces wide. A number of columns can only become one column. Walking forty miles a day, even if the column is wide and fifteen people, it will take three days to pass through the fortress. Therefore, from the second day, Li Xin ordered Liekuan to be reduced to 20 people, in order to pass through the fortress as soon as possible.

The width of the twenty column basically blocked the Kun plug, allowing only one rider to pass through. At noon, Xianyang's royal order was finally sent to Li Xin, and the generals were shocked.

"How can this be?" Xin Sheng is the most urgent, he is a cavalry general, and the cavalry can be reached in four hundred miles and two days.

"The last general thinks that our army should return to Guanzhong as soon as possible, otherwise Xianyang will be lost!" Meng Tian's face is black and bearded, and he has long since taken off his youthfulness after several battles, and he is becoming more and more like a general.

"If Xiang Yan leads the army, Jing Ren can arrive in three days." Feng Zheng was surprised that Chu Jun suddenly appeared behind Wuguan, and he asked, "Who is stationed in Wuguan?" Why don't you block the Danshui to stop the Jing people? ”

The power of the Chu army's boat division Qin Jun has already been taught, and the terrible thing about the boat division is not that it has collision angles, but that it can work hundreds of miles a day. The fact that the Chu army was able to invade Nanjun so quickly and induce the Qin army to assemble in Gongyi was all due to this kind of maneuver, and Feng Zai resented that the guards of Wuguan did not know the might of the Chu army's war boat.

"What's the good of saying that at this point?" Li Xin glanced at him. "The king has an order: Meng Tian led an army of 200,000 and rushed to Lantian to save him."

"Minister......" Meng Tian didn't expect that the king would let him lead the army to save him, he was shocked and shouted: "Respectfully!" ”

"This is ......" 600,000 troops, of which 200,000 returned to the Guanzhong, then there are 400,000 left, how many tens of thousands of the Chu army entered the Guanzhong, and how many tens of thousands defended Nanyang is still unknown. If more than 200,000 Chu troops all entered Guanzhong, the 200,000 people who relied on Meng Tian might not be able to stop them.

Li Xin, the general's concerns, saw it in his heart, and he said: "The king has made up his mind, General Meng can lead the army back to help, and the mission of our army is still to recover Nanyang Nanjun and refuse the Jing people from outside the Qin realm." ”

A king's mandate is a king's command. The king ordered that as long as Meng Tian led 200,000 people to come back to help, it would only be Meng Tian who led 200,000 people to come back to help, and the generals would no longer speak when they heard the words.

"Since the Jing people have entered the pass, they should be rescued by the sergeant of the pass." Yang Duanhe, who didn't know that his nephew Yang Xiong had committed a big crime, said. The 600,000-strong army gathered the soldiers of the entire Qin State, with the largest number of old Qianshou in Guanzhong. To rescue Guanzhong, it is advisable to take Sergeant Guan.

"Yes, yes. If you save Guanzhong, you should be the pawn of Guanzhong. The commander nodded repeatedly.

"No." Zhao Zidao, who is a doctor in the army, said, "Most of the soldiers have already passed the fortress, and if they return, it will take one more day." ”

Time is urgent, and the Qin army can only go to the west to rescue Guanzhong with the soldiers who have not yet left the fortress, and the soldiers who have already left the fortress continue to go east and south to Nanyang. Most of the soldiers and pawns in Guan have already left the fortress, and if they are asked to go to Guanzhong, they will have to go through the fortress again. With the ruggedness and difficulty of the road, it will be delayed by a day. Rescuing soldiers is like fighting fires, and one day is enough to affect the situation of the battle.

"The Protector Doctor is also mistaken." Wang Ao argued. "The fortress of Cuihan is more than 30 miles long, only enough for one car wide, and 200,000 troops pass through Cuihan for at least two days. In this case, we can first send a pawn to the west of 100,000 Kunsai, and then send a pawn to the east of Kunsai tomorrow. ”

The Cuihan Valley Road is narrow and has limited instantaneous passing capacity. Thinking of the narrow valley road that did not see the light of day, Zhao Zi was stunned, and he said: "You can't take a boat up the river." ”

"Is there a boat of 200,000 soldiers?" Wang Ao asked rhetorically.

"None." There is no need for Zhao Zi to answer, the strategists in the shogunate and the governor of Zhisu have already helped him answer. The Qin army either advanced westward from the Cuihan Valley Road south of the Yellow River, or crossed the river from Maojin and returned to Anyi, and then from Anyi to the southwest and crossed the river from Pusaka.

The place of rescue is not Xianyang, but Lantian, one hundred and fifty miles east of Xianyang. Not only is it shorter than taking the Kasaka Road, but there is no need to cross from Weibei to Weinan. According to Wang Ao's calculations, even if the Cuihan Valley Road is delayed for two days, the 600-mile journey can be reached in nine days at most. If you throw away all your burdens and burdens, then seven days will come. If you want to go faster, it's going to be hard. The Qin army was already very tired after a long march, and the weather was very hot, so if you want to be able to fight when you reach Lantian, a hundred miles a day is already the limit.

Seven days. Although Xianyang did not tell the Chu army about the situation, nor did he explain how the Chu army broke through the Wuguan, everyone knows that the Chu army is the boat division, and the boat division is the Chu army. The Chu army can go against the Danshui to Shangluo, and then cross Lantian from Shangluo to Xianyang, so that it will take three days to Lantian and five days to Xianyang.

After the generals retreated, there was silence in the shogunate. Li Xin and Wang Ao didn't finish speaking, but when they looked at each other, they could understand each other's gaze: Meng Tian's help couldn't catch up at all.

After looking at each other, Wang Ao bowed lightly and said goodbye to Li Xin. Wang Zhizhong, who came from Xianyang last night, not only wanted Meng Tian to lead an army of 200,000 troops to aid Guanzhong, but also asked Wang Ao, a military division, to go to Qi State.

Although it is the battle of Qin and Chu at the moment, the co-optation of Qi and Wei cannot be ignored. Especially in the State of Qi, once the monarchs and ministers of the State of Qi judge that the State of Qin will die, and send all the troops of the whole country to attack Qin, the consequences will be unimaginable; On the contrary, if Qi can be persuaded to be neutral and not send troops to attack Qin or even Chu, it will be like the Battle of Lantian that once happened, and the Chu army hurriedly retreated.

After Qi Xiang wins, this plan may be feasible, and after the victory is not, this plan is as difficult as climbing to the sky. Wang Ao knew that he, like Meng Tian, was doing an impossible mission.
