On the second day, before the Han and Wei coalition forces, which had fought all night, woke up, the Qin army was already beating drums and shouting outside the camp. Fortunately, whether it was Shen Cha or Gongsun Yan, they were still familiar with this kind of trick, and they arranged the defenders early and confronted the Qin army in front of the camp. The Qin army beat for a while and began to attack at Han Wei with a rain of arrows, and the defenders of the two countries did not dare to slack off and erected their shields to defend. When the Qin army was tired of shooting, the combined forces of the two countries also began to attack the Qin army. The two sides come and go across the camp in this way, test each other, and every time it is time to eat, they go back to the camp to repair, and then come out to hold each other in the afternoon when the weather is good, and then return to the camp in the evening.

Such days were not until two people came to the coalition camp one after the other.

The prince frowned, looked at the wine lord in front of him, and didn't know what he was thinking, Shen Cha and Storm Kite looked at each other and saw each other's questions. In fact, the two have different ideas, what Storm Kite cares about is why Prince Huan didn't come with the grain and grass, and what Shen Cha cares about is the veteran who is standing behind Prince Huan.

"You don't have to worry about food and grass. Due to the cold weather and the rough roads, the food and grass have not yet arrived. The monarch has already sent 20,000 stone of grain and grass to this place, and it will arrive at the front line in a few days. It can temporarily alleviate the grain and grass crisis of our army. The prince smiled at the two of them.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Storm Kite and Shen Cha answered.

"But the king still has one more thing, let me ask the two generals." The crown prince changed his tone, leaned forward, and looked at the two of them with a solemn expression, "How long will the battle in Hanguguan drag on before it can be won?" ”

"What! The long is one or two years, and the short is three or two months! Hui Shi looked at Gongsun Yan's solemn expression and shouted in surprise, "Why do you have to delay it for so long?" He looked at Gongsun Xi, hoping that Gongsun Xi would give a different answer. But Gongsun Xi turned his face to the side and did not object.

"Lord Rhinoceros, if this battle really drags on for a year or two, then I'm afraid the Wei State won't be able to support it for so long! What's more, Hangu Pass is in front of you, why do you want to close your door and not fight, and let the Qin people insult the reputation of our army there? ”

"Lord Shangqing, the provocation of the Qin army is precisely to provoke our army to attack, if our army really attacks, I am afraid that it will be fooled, who knows what traps are waiting for us?" Gongsun Xi explained to Hui Shi.

"Hangu Pass is in front of you, the 200,000 army is here to spend food and grass without counting, and it has never been able to move forward, two generals, how to explain to the king?"

"Although Hangu Pass is in front of you, it is a one-man pass, and you can't open it. Even though our army has 200,000 troops, it still can't bypass the big river and fly over the mountains, so naturally it won't easily jump over the tall walls of Hangu Pass. Gongsun Yan sneered, "Lord Shangqing, we are leading a group of soldiers, not immortal monks, how can it be as easy as you said?" ”

"Lord Rhinoceros, you must know that if you and Xi Wu can't fight the Qin army here, then even if the immortal Fang Shi is there in person, he won't be able to save the Wei army and the Wei State behind you!"

"If you can't stop the Qin army from coming here, then the Wei army and the Wei state can't be saved!"

"Lord Rhino Heads dares to guarantee that if you defeat the Qin army here, you can sit back and relax?"

Gongsun Xi saw that the more the two of them talked, the stronger the smell of gunsmoke became, and hurriedly came out to persuade them. The two were at odds when King Wei Hui was king, and now the new king has succeeded to the throne, and the two have been appointed as auxiliary ministers.

"Lord Shangqing, although you can't attack at this moment, even if you retreat, it's not the best way out." Gongsun sighed.

"The Qin army called for battle in front of our army every day, obviously to provoke our army to leave the station, but in fact, it also had the meaning of monitoring the movements of our army and preventing our army from retreating." Storm Kite said solemnly: "A certain guess, if our army has a move, then the Qin army will definitely pursue our army." There are more than 200,000 people in the coalition army here, and the Kushan road is rugged and difficult to travel, the chariots and horses cannot be paralleled, and the five people cannot be parallel, and the other side only needs to send light cavalry to delay the speed of our army's retreat, and I am afraid that the number of casualties will be incalculable. ”

"Is there a dilemma?" Prince Huan frowned and muttered.

"It's strange to blame on the Kunshan Road, if it's the Tongtian Avenue, as long as our army arranges the rear army, the other troops will gradually retreat, and the Qin army will be safe when retreating unless the army comes to attack." Shincha added.

Out of Luoyi to Yiyang in South Korea, along the north bank of the Luohe River to the southwest, to the northwest of the Yongchang River, a tributary of the Luohe River, across the stream and through the Xikuo Mountain, there is the tomb of Xia Hougao, which is the tomb of the emperor of the Xia Dynasty, and his grandson is the famous Xia Wei. This road is along the river valley, naturally it is the road that is cut by the river water to the mountain, it is to circle and twist, rugged and difficult, and climb the mountain and wade the stream, the terrain is complex, and the two are mostly cliffs and steep mountains, which are unclimbable. It was precisely by relying on this road that the Qin State was not isolated from the other six countries, and it was precisely by relying on this road that there was a solid letter of Cuihan, which made it difficult for the six countries to attack Qin. So much so that later, although Cao Cao ordered Xu Zhu to open the North Kunshan Road in the north of this road to conquer Ma Chao Han Sui who was entrenched in Longxi and Guanzhong, this road called the South Kunshan Road still never gave up the use. Of course, Hangu Pass, which is connected at one end of the Cuishan Road, and Yiyang, South Korea at the other end, is an important city for the Qin State, as long as Yiyang is controlled, the Qin State will completely control the key to Hangu Pass, and it is because the Qin and Han armies fought dozens of battles in Yiyang, and never let the Qin army get this city.

Now for the Five Nations Alliance, the attack on the Qin State by the Kunshan Road is the road to heaven, but for the retreat, it has become a desperate road, as long as the Qin State counterattacks, there is only a rout, no victory. As for why Le Yi said that Yiyang was undefendable and had to be stationed in the Tiger Prison, of course, it was because the Qin army pursued the defeated army, and there was definitely no time to capture the city, and if the pursued coalition army entered Yiyang, the city would fall into the hands of the Qin army, and the Tiger Prison Pass was like a lock, which could lock the momentum of the Qin army's attack. This is also why everyone thinks that the tiger prison must be guarded and Yiyang can be abandoned. To put it mildly, if you want to defend the fortress of Yiyang Jiancheng, you can't conquer it with the chasing soldiers.

"Is it all you have to do with it?" Prince Huan finally realized the complexity of the current situation and paced back and forth in the tent. Before coming to the front line, Han Wangkang told him a thousand times, no matter what, he must withstand the attack of the Qin army in front of Hangu Pass, otherwise when Qin retaliates, South Korea will bear the brunt, and at that time, I am afraid that South Korea will have to pay more than a hundred times more than the loss. Of course, Prince Huan knew this, as the main battle faction in South Korea, he knew very well that he had supported Zhang Kai and agreed to send troops to Qin with Wei, which was a big risk. He was very cautious in this matter.

"You know what the king means, fight! At least it hurt Qin Jun's vitality, and he didn't dare to spy on Yiyang for ten years. The prince said solemnly, "If you come here, you will stay here with the two of you." The two were relieved that the king had sent envoys to the states of Chu, Qi and Zhao, asking the three kingdoms to send troops. Qi and Chu are not sure, and Zhao is busy with the war in northern Xinjiang, so he does not know his attitude for the time being. Prince Huan suddenly laughed and said, "However, so-and-so's sister, oh, that is, Zhong Ji, just gave birth to a baby girl for King Zhao." It is said that King Zhao was overjoyed, gave him the name Pengpeng, and sent a piece of jade pendant that King Linhu had dedicated to him to Handan. It can be seen that King Zhao loves it. ”

"Pengpeng? But 'Peng Peng millet seedlings, rainy ointment'? The serious atmosphere was shocked by this good news, and it turned out to be a little light, and Shen Cha couldn't help but ridicule the name.

"According to King Zhao's temperament, maybe it's still 'I go wild, and I can grow my wheat'!" Prince Wan couldn't help laughing, and everyone laughed too.

Wei Yigong's younger sister has been beautiful and colorful since she was a child, smart since she was a child, and when she became an adult, Xu Guo and Qi Guo came to propose marriage at the same time. Mrs. Xu Mu felt that the State of Qi was strong and close to the State of Wei, so she wanted to marry the State of Qi, but Wei Yigong thought that Xu Guo was very polite and married her to Duke Xu Mu, and she was also called Mrs. Xu Mu. Later, Weiguo was attacked by the Di people, and Wei Yigong, who was greedy for enjoyment, was killed, and Mrs. Xu Mu heard that she hoped that Xu Mugong would send troops to help defend the country, but Xu Mugong was too timid to raise troops, so Mrs. Xu Mu led the woman who married from Weiguo to Caoyi, where the Wei royal family stayed, scattered all the financial support for the people, and asked Qi for help with her other brother, and finally rebuilt Weiguo. And this first ride was made by Mrs. Xu Mu on the way back to Xu Guo.

Therefore, the crown prince said that Zhao Yong had great hopes for this princess of Zhao Kingdom.

"In this case, our army can hold on here, but I am afraid that the Wei side will ....." Shen Cha did not finish speaking, but looked at the camp of the Wei State, Gongziwan nodded, and also looked at the camp of the Wei State.

"Lord Rhino Head, a certain person naturally supports the attack on the Qin State." Hui Shi calmed down, and looked at Gongsun Yan who was also angry, "But national affairs, can't be child's play, if the rhino head is not sure of victory, a certain general advises the king to retreat from Hangu Pass!" ”

After Hui Shi finished speaking, Gongsun Yan and Gongsun Xigu were surprised. Once the Wei State retreats, then the Korean army will definitely not be able to withstand the pressure of the Qin army, and at that time, the Qin people will definitely launch a strong attack on the Koreans when they see that the Wei people have escaped, and at that time, the Korean army will face annihilation. Not only that, I am afraid that the Han-Wei alliance will break down, and the Wei State will not be allowed to join other countries.

"Lord Shangqing, please respect yourself when you speak!" Gongsun Yan finally got angry, "If Wei flees like this, he will be spurned by other countries, and I am afraid that when the time comes, even if Qin does not hold Wei responsible, Chu will definitely retaliate against Wei." ”

"At this point, Lord Rhino doesn't have to worry." Hui Shi said coldly, "The last time I went to the Chu State, I had already discussed with Yin Zhaoyang, the commander of the Chu State, that once Hangu Pass was unstoppable, then the Wei State would leave the Five Nations Alliance. This is known to the State of Chu. With that, Hui Shi stood up, lifted the tent and was about to leave.

"Wait!" Gongsun Yan drank coldly.

"I don't know Lord Rhinoceros, what else do you have to teach?" Hui Shi said coldly.

"Two months." Gongsun Yan gritted his teeth and said, "Within two months, if you can't win, Gongsun Yan is willing to resign as the prime minister of Wei, and when the time comes, whether Wei withdraws its troops or not, will never interfere again." He raised his head and looked at Hui Shi, "Please also ask Lord Shangqing to explain this to King Wei." ”

Hui Shi stood outside the tent and looked at Gongsun Yan, his eyes full of complicated meanings. He didn't know why Gongsun Yan was still insisting at this time, and he did not hesitate to gamble on his current status and his future. If it is to be angry with Zhang Yi, it doesn't have to be like this, and it may not be necessary to start over, but obviously, Gongsun Yan is not for this reason.

There is a kind of person whose life is not actually for glory and wealth, nor for personal glory, but purely for an ideal. This kind of person is very lonely, the former Shang Ying, who died of this ideal, and Gongsun Yan, who took Shang Ying as an example, is also such a person. This kind of person is something that Hui Shi can't understand.

"So, a certain is in the beam, waiting for the triumphant return of Lord Rhinoceros!" Hui Shi said, disappearing out the door.

Gongsun Xi looked at Gongsun Yan with complicated eyes, and Gongsun Yan set his eyes on the northwest direction, where there was also a strange army, "Yiqu, don't let someone down!" ”

It's rubbish to write these two days.,I'm really sorry.。
