Shengzi never dreamed that he finally escaped from the bank of the Yellow River and worked hard to get the jujube boil. I thought that what greeted me was a soft sleep of fine wine, but I didn't think that it was Wei Wushu's cold shield and Changge. And he and the Song allied army were defeated by the Wei army, and he was also captured as a prisoner, and the Wei lands occupied by the two countries were also recaptured by the Wei State one by one.

The Battle of Pushui, whether it was Kuang Zhang or Zhu Liji, showed a sense of the overall situation that the statement was in line with, and it was also commendable in the arrangement of troops. Although Kuang Zhang was the defeated side, his previous strategy was very correct, but due to the persecution of the Song State and the compromise of the King of Qi, the Qi State lost the initiative first, and was beaten by the other party for a time difference, and finally led to the Qi and Song coalition forces being defeated by the main force of the Wei State and recovering the lost territory.

As the attacking side, the Qin-Wei coalition army, under the command of Zhu Liji, did not attack the enemy from the front, but adopted the offensive strategy of attracting from the front, attacking from the flank, and detouring behind the enemy to complete the encirclement. Although this is a dangerous chess, with the tenacious style of the Qin army and the heroic martial arts of Wei Wushu in the past, the command of Zhu Lijian can be regarded as a very wonderful completion.

If you have to say where the gap between the two is, it may be that between Tian Biqi and Qin Wangsi, there is one less King Qi Wei. In any case, the wars of the Warring States Period, from the ceremonial battles of the Spring and Autumn Period to the current soldiers, are vividly reflected in this battle.

Jujube boiled, the camp of the Qin army.

After many days of continuous marching, the physical fitness of the Qin army has reached its peak, and many people have even reached the point where they can fall asleep while standing. At this point, I was finally able to take a good rest. Although the requirements for the soldiers were relaxed, the patrol post still did not relax at all. As a general of an army, he naturally has to consider all aspects of the problem, just as he is also exhausted, but he has to stare in front of the map because of an urgent military situation.

"Wuguan... Shangyi... 峣關... Lantian ..."He held the faint candle flame in one hand, walked on the map with the other, his eyes stayed between Wuguan and Lantian, and after a while, he crossed the Yellow River, crossed Korea, and stopped at Zaojiao. The frowns are getting tighter and tighter, as if they have encountered a big problem.

"General, General Bai Qi is here."

"Let him in."

"General, summon the last general late at night, I don't know if there is a major military situation?"

"Naturally, there is a major military situation." Zhu Li said quickly, handed over the bamboo slip in his hand, Bai Qi took it and looked at it, and was startled, "The Chu army has broken through the Wuguan and is rushing towards Lantian!" ”

"Yes, in the battle of Danyang, the Chu army was defeated, but I didn't expect the king of Chu to be so strong, he immediately recruited 200,000 people to attack Wuguan with all his might, and won this pass in just eight days. In this way, as long as the Chu army is strong, the only ones that can stop the people of Chu are Yaoguan and Weishui. ”

"Indeed, although the road in Shangyi is rugged, easy to defend and difficult to attack, but the Chu army is so imposing, I am afraid it cannot be stopped, and it can only be blocked for a while with the help of the steepness of the pass, if the Chu army really wants to fight hard, it still can't be stopped." Bai Qi also said worriedly, "I don't know what the king means?" ”

"The king's intention is to order a certain person to quickly return to Xianyang to block the enemy's attack. But—" Sakari sighed.

Bai Qi was slightly stunned, and also understood what he meant: "With the current situation of the army's rest, I'm afraid it's too late to return to help, and Xianyang will be in danger." ”

"yes, that's what worries me the most." Zhu Li hurriedly walked to the map, pointed to the direction of Wuguan on the map, and pointed to the jujube boil, "Now our army is too far away from Xianyang, and we have to pass through various mountains and hills in the middle. With the current situation of the soldiers of the Qin State, it is not easy to say if you want to return to the aid quickly. ”

"What's more, there is also a tiger-eyed Zhao Guo next to him, who is putting away his fangs, if he is not careful, the tragedy of the battle of Kun back then, I am afraid it will be staged again."

Bai nodded from the beginning, the current situation is indeed as Zhu Li Ji said, if Zhu Li Ji led his troops back to Xianyang, it would be easy to be attacked by the Zhao army, but I am afraid that Zhu Li Ji has not returned to Qin, he will be buried in another country, and Qin will be defeated in Xianyang.

"Then with the general's intentions, how should our army behave?"

"I want to give you a very important matter, if this matter is successful, then the difficulty of my Qin State this time will be solved. You have become a great hero of the Qin State. ”

Bai Qi was indeed a little excited when he heard that he was going to hand over important things to himself. However, this person was born for war, even if he was afraid, he was also conceited, thinking that although he was a hero in the world, he was not far behind, and he was afraid of others, and when he came to him, he became very excited.

"Please show me the general."

Zhu Liji nodded, since the day he met Bai Qi, he found that this person was a general, no matter what difficulties he had, he was quite confident, which made him impressed, and he was trained with great effort. Whether or not the rescue of Qin can be completed this time can only be handed over to him in vain.

"What does it mean is that you lead five thousand Qin troops, cooperate with the troops of Han and Wei, go south from Yongshi City, break through the Fang City of Chu, occupy Wan and Deng of Chu State, and strangle the back road of the Chu army."

He said it over and over again, and told Bai Qi his plan on the map over and over again. This plan is not a strange conspiracy, if you really want to talk about it, it is nothing more than eight words, the voice is attacking the east and the west, and the enemy will be saved.

Wan is a very important smelting place for the Chu State, which is not only a very important geographical location, which can effectively prevent the attack of South Korea, but also rich in various strategic materials, and is also an important grain producing area of the Chu State. Deng Yi is more important than Zhiwan, and even more important than Danyang, if you control here, it will completely cut off the connection between Chu and the Han River, and Ying, the capital of Chu, will be exposed to the front of the army. The method of the disease was to force the Chu army to retreat by cutting off the back road of the Chu army. He naturally didn't think that with the combined forces of Han and Wei, he could break through the capital of Chu, but if he could pose a threat, he would have completed the task.

"If this battle is successful, then the whole Qin State will definitely be grateful to the general." He said repeatedly.

"Dare not serve your life!"

Early in the morning of the second day, Bai Qi, who had already ordered all the soldiers, retired to the Han Li Ji early, and took the order of the Han Li Ji to inform the Han and Wei coalition forces of the next plan of action, and the Han and Wei coalition forces went abroad to attack Korea. For Qin's request, Han and Wei were not embarrassed to retreat, after all, both countries relied on the arrangement of the disease to solve the invading enemy, and at this moment Qin was in trouble, so they naturally had to help. What's more, the strategy of the disease, whether it is South Korea or Wei, is a vested interest, so there is no reason not to take advantage.

The main force of the Qin State led by Yu Liji immediately set off and hurried to Xianyang, hoping to solve the danger of Xianyang.

On the other hand, the Chu army, which had occupied Wuguan, still took a stormy offensive and launched an attack on Shangyi. Shangyi is the most important city on Wuguan Road, and it is also the closest big city to Xianyang. This was originally the fief of the famous Daliang Shang Martingale during the Qin Xiao Dynasty, and it was obtained by Shang Ying by virtue of his exploits in the Battle of Hexi, and Shang Ying changed his name Gongsun Martingale to Shang Martingale from then on.

Shangyi is called Chengchi, and its scale is also huge, but because Wuguan Road is located in a remote and steep area, it is difficult to drive, so that although this place is a necessary place to go out of the Qin State, it is not so easy to walk. The 200,000-strong army walked for two days before reaching the city of Shangyi.

The news of the Chu army's breakthrough of Wuguan had already arrived here, but Xianyang had no troops, and it was impossible to strengthen the defense of Shangyi. What's more, after the deliberation of the ministers of the Qin State, instead of fighting hard with the Chu army in Shangyi, which had no danger to rely on, it was better to concentrate superior forces and snipe the Chu army at Yaoguan and Lantian with all their might, so Shangyi can be said to have been abandoned.

Even so, the Shangyi City was also hard and tight, and he was not afraid in the face of the 200,000 Chu army, and calmly commanded the defenders to deal with the Chu army. The defending Qin army also brought the tenacious blood of the old Qin people to the extreme, and the enemy who was several times their own was in front, and no one said back.

However, it is like a praying mantis blocking the car, even if it is very strong, it is still weak and cannot stop the anger of the chariot of the Chu State. In just three days or so, Shangyi became another step on the road of Chu's attack, watching Chu continue to march towards Xianyang.

Wuguan and Shangyi were broken one after another, and the Chu army had already reached the door of Xianyang, and there had never been a time when the danger was so close to the Qin State. The Chu army made the Qin people feel their anger and toughness thoroughly, and on this mad beast, all the shackles became obstacles, and what he wanted to devour was another giant beast, and as far as the current situation was concerned, the victory was more inclined to the Chu state.

Qin Wangsi and his subordinates had to arrive at Lantian in person and command and supervise the battle. Wei Zhang and Gan Mao, who had just returned from Hanzhong, were also among them, plus the temporarily recruited troops and the troops of the King of Qin, the number of Qin troops also reached about 200,000. But compared with the morale of the Chu army, which was at its peak, the hastily organized troops were more chaotic and frightened than calm and united. Many people are worried that even if they rely on the natural danger of Yaoguan and the current situation of the Qin army, they may not be the opponent of the Chu army. The Qin people must be prepared to rely on Weishui and Xianyang to fight another decisive battle with the Chu army.

Lantian, the camp of the Qin army.

Qin Wangsi leaned on the throne listlessly, his eyes closed, as if the quarrel in front of him had nothing to do with him, but from the subtle expression on his face, it could be known that he was also constantly considering the two sides of the quarrel. Gongzi Yingdang peeked at Qin Wangsi, while watching the quarrel of everyone in the audience, and at the same time, he was also thinking about how to deal with it if he was asked for a while, after all, he has never been very good at answering questions.

However, Yingdang's idea is inclined to Gan Mao's said decisive battle with the Chu army in Yaoguan and Lantian, in Gan Mao's words, step by step, there will be room for each step, and eventually there is no way out. The mountain road is dangerous, although it is not a desperate situation, but fortunately, there is a danger to defend, and it can be delayed to the return of the disease.

In comparison, Wei Zhang and Sima made a mistake to make him a little disgusted, according to the two of them, retreating to Weishui and using the wide front to deal with the Chu army, although it can reduce casualties, but the risk exists. Because no one is sure where the Chu army will cross the river from, the people of the Qin State can't block the entire river, right?

The generals who supported Gan Mao quarreled with Wei Zhang and Sima Cuo, and the whole big tent was particularly noisy. Although the onlookers did not know how the gods they had long been familiar with communicated with these witch blessings, no one would doubt that perhaps the Qin State at this moment really needed to pray to these great gods and bless the Qin State.

The quarrels inside the tent and the hustle and bustle outside the tent all gave Qin Wang Si a headache. He was originally an extremely conceited person, and he never blindly followed and listened to the advice and suggestions of his ministers, but had his own calculations. However, there are always one or two people whose words are very important to him, and this person is not around at the moment.

Just when everyone had no intention of stopping, a fast horse galloped into the camp, and the soldiers of the Qin State all paid attention, not knowing what bad news would come at this moment.

The fast horse stopped outside the tent, and the herald knelt on the ground and shouted, "Yan Jun's military intelligence report!" ”

Qin Wangsi cheered up, snatched the report from the eunuch's hand, and quickly browsed it, and the people in the entire camp did not dare to come out, and they all stared at Qin Wangsi. In fact, they also knew that the controversy at the moment was just for this military intelligence report from thousands of miles away, and what King Qin's decision was in the end all depended on the rhetoric of this report.

After looking at the bamboo slips, Qin Wangsi closed his eyes, and after a while, he slowly stood up, it was obvious that his body had not yet healed, and now he was just coming to the front line to supervise the battle despite being seriously ill. Yingdang was about to step forward to help him, but he was pushed away by him. This commanding old man, his eyes flashed fiercely, and he said with full anger: "The whole army is fighting to the death, and those who dare to retreat will be killed!" ”
