The alliance of the five nations approached Hangu Pass with great momentum, and set up a decisive battle with the Qin people. Standing on Chengtou Mountain in Hangu Pass, Ying Ji watched the figure drive and waved the flag. The momentum of the five countries cannot be underestimated. Chu General Zhaoyang saw that the Qin people were cowering in the pass, and did not dare to come out to fight. sent soldiers to insult them, and even asked them to open their pants and pee in order to humiliate the Qin people. Qin Wang Yingsi focused on winning the disease, and when he was guarding Hangu Pass, he understood that the biggest advantage of his younger brother was that he was calm. Yingjian Zhen guarded the letter Guguan, conscientiously implemented the strategy set by Zhang Yi, no matter how humiliated and abused by the coalition forces, he could not retreat.

Although the winning disease can be as calm as water, the ears are not heard. But the descendants of the Zhao family could not listen to the abuse of the coalition forces. The descendants of the surname Win will only fight bravely on the battlefield, and will never hide in the city as a turtle with a shrunken head. The generals of the Qin State repeatedly asked for battle, but they were all rejected by victory. All the soldiers were in a restless mood, and they all said how the king had sent a man who was greedy for life and afraid of death to be the main general. For a time, the soldiers of the Qin State in Hangu Pass were in high spirits, and they all said bad things about winning the disease.

Fortunately, he won the battle and set out on the expedition, and Yingsi gave him the power of life and death in front of the soldiers of the whole country. These soldiers only complained a few words, and did not dare to openly disobey the orders of the commander-in-chief. Therefore, the situation in Hangu Pass was all in the hands of Win Disease. Chu General Zhaoyang saw that the soldiers had been scolding under the city for several days, but the Qin army just avoided it, so angry that he scolded: "Qin people, they are as timid as rats. ”

Since you can't provoke the Qin people to come out for a decisive battle, you can only lure the Qin people out. However, winning the disease is not to be fooled, sitting on the city tower and eating mutton and cheering: "Don't bother. I'm not going to fight. ”

General Chu used many tricks, but none of them could seduce the Qin people. Therefore, he summoned the lords and generals of various countries to come to discuss how to break through the Hangu Pass. The discussion was fruitless, and the Chu general Zhaoyang said angrily: "Tomorrow launch a general attack and forcibly attack Hangu Pass." ”

Gongsun Yan once made military exploits for the Qin State, so he naturally knew the topography of Hangu Pass. Hangu Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and if it is forcibly attacked, it will only lose troops and generals. Gongsun Yan suggested that he bypass Hangu Pass and attack Qin. Chu General Zhaoyang said angrily: "Hangu Pass, how can you stop my more than 300,000 soldiers." Tomorrow I will see how the Chu people teach the Qin people. ”

Gongsun Yan saw that General Chu was arrogant and unreasonable, and he didn't say a word. Since the Chu people can't listen to their opinions, let the Qin people clean up their unruly personalities.

The next day, the Chu army had breakfast.

Zhaoyang pulled out his long sword and said to the Chu army: "Soldiers, take out the courage of the Chu people and use your sword to kill the enemy." ”

The war drums thundered, and the Chu army let out a roaring shout and flocked to the Hangu City Tower. The Wei general Sun Yan, the Han general Han Peng, the Zhao general Zhao Xie and the Yan general Ji Ping stood on a high place, watching the Chu army rush towards Hangu Pass. Gongsun Yan shook his head and sighed, "Fearless casualties. ”

When the Qin people saw that the Chu people were coming, they first shot a dense rain of arrows on the city tower to greet the Chu people. Regardless of casualties, the Chu people advanced one after another. The spirit of the Chu people who are not afraid of death is really admirable. However, the resentment that the Qin people had held back for a long time was all vented on the Chu people. The city tower was full of the corpses of many Chu people. Zhaoyang saw that the city tower could not be attacked for a long time, and he folded so many soldiers. Look at the coalition camp again, and the beauties do not come to support. If the fight continues, the Chu army is afraid that it will suffer serious losses. In order to preserve the living force, Zhaoyang had no choice but to order the army to retreat.

Seeing that the Chu people had retreated, the Qin people shouted: "Long live the Qin State, long live the King of Qin." ”

Zhaoyang returned to the lord's tent in a gloomy manner, and when he heard the Sanjin man ridiculing him for not being a Chu person, he was immediately furious. Since the Sanjin man is powerful, he decided not to let the Chu people charge and take the lead. However, the Sanjin men did not prepare to compete with the Qin people, and still stood still.

Zhaoyang took out the identity of the commander to suppress the generals of the countries, and said angrily: "Our Chu army attacked the city and lost many soldiers. Isn't it time for you to attack Hangu Pass? ”

Gongsun Yan said: "Hangu Guan is known as a husband and a man. Forcibly attacking the city will only lose the army. Sanjin men are not afraid of death, but they will not lose their lives for no reason. ”

Zhaoyang replied: "There are no mountains and rivers that can stop the pace of my Chu people. ”

Ji Ping sneered: "The Chu people are indeed powerful, and if they attack a city, they will leave thousands of corpses behind. ”

"You..."Zhaoyang's sword body was out of the shell, ready to teach Yan Ren a lesson, "You have the ability to come to a duel." ”

Ji Ping's blood surged, and he shouted: "Come on, come, how can I be afraid that you won't succeed." ”

Seeing that the two disagreed, Gongsun Yan drew his sword and stuck it between the two, and stopped, "We are here to attack Qin, not to quarrel." ”

Zhao Yang returned the long sword to its scabbard with an angry face, and a sound of injustice came out of his mouth. Ji Ping saw that the other party had stopped, and he was not pressing. After all, there are only 50,000 Yan people, and there are still more than 60,000 Chu people. If the two countries make a move, he will not be able to take advantage. Zhaoyang asked, "Rhino Head, is there any way to attack Hangu Pass?" ”

Gongsun Yan held up four fingers and said word by word: "Hold your arms still." ”

Zhaoyang's eyebrows were high, "Our Five Nations Alliance didn't come to Qin to see the scenery. ”

Gongsun Yan smiled: "What should the general say." ”

Zhaoyang said sharply: "Fight." ”

Gongsun Yan asked again: "May I ask how the general will fight." ”

"Of course, it is to use wheel tactics to attack Hangu Pass day and night. I don't believe it, more than 300,000 soldiers can't beat the Hangu Pass. ”

"We're tired from the siege." Gongsun Yan sneered: "How to deal with the fierce Qin army. ”

"Rhinoceros, you said you couldn't fight." Zhaoyang raised his voice and said, "Is it possible that we will not be able to withdraw our troops." ”

"Hangu Pass is not impenetrable."

"How to break it."

"We continue to insult the Qin people under the city and stimulate the blood of the Qin people."

"The Qin people can't go into retreat, so what."

"Don't worry! The Qin people will get out. ”

Zhaoyang snorted coldly and left the big tent.

Zhao General Zhao Xie asked, "Rhino Head, what should we do now?" ”

Gongsun Yan sighed: "The Qin people did not go out to meet the battle, because the Five Nations Alliance was huge. If we win the first battle, it will be easy to take Hangu Pass and capture Xianyang. The defeat of the Chu people not only hit the morale of the coalition army, but also boosted the arrogance of the Qin people. Now all we have to do is wait. ”

Han Peng interjected and asked, "What are you waiting for?" ”

Gongsun Yanying glanced sharply at everyone and said, "Wait for reinforcements." ”

Everyone was surprised, would there still be reinforcements coming to break through the Qin State?

Gongsun Yan's eyes told them that there would be.

Zhao Xie and Han Peng were convinced of Gongsun Yan and no longer asked.

Gongsun Yan arched his hand and said: "The new defeat of the Chu people has hit the morale of the Five Nations Alliance. Ask a few generals to go back and appease the soldiers. Otherwise, before the Qin people are out of the customs to face the battle, we will be in chaos and fall into passivity. ”

Zhao Xie, Han Peng, and Ji Ping returned the salute: "No." ”

When everyone left the big tent, Wei Xuan walked up and asked, "Will there really be a coalition army in the rhino head?" ”

Gongsun Yan said: "I have sent someone to invite the Qi State to join forces and attack Qin together. ”

Wei Xuan wondered: "The Qi State is willing to join the trend of merger. ”

Gongsun Yan said with a smile: "At this moment, it is up to the people to choose. If the Qi people do not send troops, they will offend the five countries. The State of Qi will not offend the Five Kingdoms because of the State of Qin. I believe that within five days, there will be news of the special envoy sending the news of Linzi in Qi State. ”

Wei Huan's eyes were still full of doubts, the Qi State claimed to be a great country, the first power in the world, and would bend down to listen to the orders of the Chu people. Gongsun Yan walked out of the big tent, looked at the sky in the east, and seemed to see the army of Qi rushing to Hangu Pass. If the Qi people come, they will break through Hangu and take Xianyang just around the corner.

The Chu people failed to attack Qin, but the battle situation was still biased in favor of the Five Nations Alliance. Although the Qin people won the first battle, they did not dare to go out to meet the Five Nations Alliance. For a time, the Five Nations Alliance and the Qin Army were in a stalemate. If you don't attack me, I won't fight you. At this moment, the Qi State in the East has become the object of the two parties' wooing. No matter which side co-opts the Qin State, the Heavenly Scales will tilt that side. At this time, the representatives of the two sides came to Linzi, the capital of Qi State.

Tian Poppy asked, "Your Majesty, the Five Kingdoms and the Qin State have all sent people. Are we seeing or not seeing. ”

Qi Wangtian said: "Of course, the widow wants to see it. ”

Tian Poppy frowned and said, "Are we going to see the envoys of the Five Kingdoms, or are we going to see the envoys of the Qin Kingdom." ”

Tian Bibi said: "The widow should be summoned at the same time. ”

Tian Poppy hesitated: "Summoning the envoys of the two countries at the same time, is this kind of approach inconsiderate?" ”

Tian Bibi said coldly: "The Five Kingdoms and the Qin State are all here to see the widow. Oligarchs don't take their feelings into account. Qi Xiang, you don't want to see what it will be like to meet the enemy. ”

Tian Poppy moved his brows and said, "It must be interesting." ”

Tian Bibi high-fived and said, "That's not right. It's hard for you to bring the envoys of the Five Kingdoms and the Qin State into the palace. Remember, they must enter the palace at the same time. ”

Tian Poppy understood what King Qi meant, and arched his hand: "No." ”

The envoys of the Five Kingdoms and the Qin State appeared in the main hall of the Qi State at the same time. As soon as the two sides met, a fierce fight ensued. If it weren't for Tian Poppy maneuvering around, the two sides would definitely fight to the death. Seeing that the envoys from both sides were stirring up, Tian Bibi ordered someone to bring a plate of melons and fruits, and said impatiently: "What's the use of arguing. The widow advises you to divide the winners and losers first, and then talk about state affairs. ”

Seeing that King Qi was dissatisfied, the two sides suppressed the anger in their hearts and accused: "There was a lot of offense just now, please don't blame King Qi." ”

"Is that right?" King Qi said with a smile: "Fight to the death, that's on the battlefield." As a diplomatic envoy, be gracious. How can they meet and threaten to put people to death? Besides! Are you willing to fight to the death and pick a good place! Choosing to be in the widow's hall is too unusual. Haven't you taken the widow into account? ”

King Qi's words seemed calm and easy-going, but in fact they were full of anger. The envoys on both sides naturally understood the meaning of King Qi's words, and said in unison: "King Qi should not blame. ”

King Qi said: "You reconcile!" ”

The envoys on both sides didn't know what King Qi was thinking in his mind. Reconciliation? Will they be able to reconcile?

King Qi urged: "If you don't reconcile, the widow will be angry." ”

The Qin envoy arched his hand and said: "Please forgive the king of Qi, I will not reconcile with him." ”

The envoys of the five countries also said: "I will not reconcile either. ”

"You don't want to reconcile, how can I talk to you about state affairs." King Qi said with a headache: "Two, you tell the widow, what the widow should do, and you can reconcile." ”

The Qin envoy said: "King Qi, please allow me to retire." ”

The envoys of the five countries also said: "King Qi, please allow me to retire." ”

While speaking, the two looked at each other coldly, snorted, and left the Qi State Hall.

"How did you go?" King Qi shouted: "It's too disrespectful! ”

Tian Poppy asked, "Your Majesty, what should we do?" ”

The king of Qi asked His Royal Highness's ministers, "Tell me, whether the widow is saving Qin, or supporting the five kingdoms to attack Qin." ”

His Royal Highness's ministers had different opinions.

"The five kingdoms are powerful, and the Qin country is lonely. It is easy to take Hangu Pass and break through the Qin State. Your Majesty, we might as well join the Five Kingdoms to attack Qin and take the opportunity to get a piece of the pie. ”

"If the attack on Qin goes well, how can the Five Kingdoms send envoys to our country to ask us to join the camp of Hezong."

"When we save Qin, we are tantamount to offending the Five Kingdoms. The Five Nations will inevitably transfer their anger to us. ”

"My Qi country is the first power in the world, how can I be afraid of the five countries."

"No, no, no. If the five nations attack us. How can our country withstand it? ”

The ministers discussed for most of the day, and they didn't know whether to support the Qin State or choose the Five Kingdoms. King Qi shouted impatiently: "Have you finished discussing it, who should the widow choose?" ”

Tian Poppy arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, who are you willing to support in your heart." ”

The king of Qi replied: "If the widow supports the Qin state, he will offend the five kingdoms. The widow supported the Five Kingdoms, and he couldn't destroy the Qin State, which was also a loss-making deal. The widows did not want to offend the Five Kingdoms, nor did they want to attack the Qin State. However, China was able to see the greatest benefits in the game between the Five Kingdoms and the Qin State. ”

Tian Poppy smiled and said, "Your Majesty, this is easy to do." Five countries win, and we support five countries. Qin Guosheng, we support Qin Guo. ”

"Will it be too late for the widow to wait for the news of victory and then choose who to support."

"Wang, let's deduce the strategy of encircling Wei to save Zhao and encircling Wei to save Han."

"What kind of trick is this, to the widow."

"Wei relied on the national power to bully Zhao and Korea. The first king did not want Wei to threaten himself with a great increase in strength after destroying Han Zhao, but also wanted to weaken the strength of Han and Zhao. Tian Poppy thought of the glory of the past, and his heart surged, "We agreed to Han Zhao's request to give them the confidence to resist." In the first battle of Handan, Zhao was defeated, but Wei was also injured. South Korea lost five battles and five defeats, which also made Wei pay a heavy price. However, my king saw that Wei and Han Zhao were almost fighting, and gave Wei a hard blow. not only rescued Han Zhao, but also fought in Maling and Guilin, annihilating the main force of Wei. The former glory of Wei is gone. The prestige of our country resounded among the princes of the Central Plains, and the First World War achieved the position of a great power in our Qi country. ”

"That's a good idea." King Qi nodded and said: "The momentum of the Five Kingdoms, you can attack Qin in the west, and why can't you attack our country in the east." If the Five Kingdoms destroy the Qin State, the next thing to suffer is our Qi State. No, the widow can't make the five countries happy, and they should be put a little pressure on them. The widow won the Qin State, and Han Zhao Weiyan did not recommend me as the chief of the alliance, but chose to promote the Chu people. If the widow supports the five countries, the widow will not be able to swallow this breath. Qi Xiang, your idea is good, the widow was angry, and he also taught the five countries a lesson, which is really relieving. King Qi changed his words and asked, "What should we do?" ”

"Your Majesty, we told the envoys of the Five Kingdoms that we were willing to join the Five Kingdoms, and when the Five Kingdoms saw that they had no worries, they would boldly let go of the attack on Qin." Tian Poppy said with a smile: "We will also give a message to the Qin envoy and ask him to bring back a hope to the Qin State." When the Qin State saw it, it would not ask for peace with the Five Kingdoms, cede the land and beg for mercy, and the Qin people would also fight bloody battles to the point of a single soldier. The Five Kingdoms fought with the Qin State in order to weaken the strength of both sides. ”

"Great." When King Qi heard this, he was overjoyed, "How can we convince the five countries that they are willing to participate in the joint alliance?" ”

"Let's let the envoys of the five countries, see our army, and go to Hangu Pass."

"We sent troops to help the five countries, and the situation in Qin is not worrying."

"Definitely." Tian Poppy said carefully: "Your Majesty, Hangu Pass is thousands of miles away from the Qi Kingdom. Although we sent troops, we moved slowly. This is the words of the soldiers, which are made clear and not dark. When our army arrives at Hangu Pass, the victory must have been divided. Let's go get another piece of the pie. ”

"What if the five nations wait for our army to arrive before going to war?"

Tian Poppy smiled deeply, "Time is the most precious thing in the matter of attacking. We can wait, and neither can the five countries. ”

"Okay, that's it." King Qi raised his voice and said: "The five countries compete with the Qin State, and our country is the biggest winner. ”
