Chapter 107: The Five Nations Alliance swore to attack Qin, and Zhang Yi offered a plan
The Qin State used Han Wei to crusade against the Qi State and suffered a crushing defeat. Sun Yan, the prince of the Zongheng family, said that the princes were everywhere, and invited Han, Zhao, Wei, Chu and Yan to attack Qin together. After many efforts by Gongsun Yan, the five countries reached an agreement, with Xionghuai, the king of Chu, as the joint chief. The country of Chu is vast and rich, and the national strength is abundant, and it is well-deserved to take Xionghuai, the king of Chu, as the longitudinal commander.
In 318 B.C., the five kings of Han Kang, Wei Wei, Zhao Zhaoyong, Yan Yan, and Xionghuai, Chu Chu, took the stage to worship the mountains and rivers, and concluded an alliance with heaven and earth as evidence. Xiong Huai, the king of Chu, was the chief of the longitudinal group, and read out the sacrificial text aloud: "The widow and the monarchs are on this stage together to announce the princes of the world." The five countries have concluded peace and will always be fraternal countries. Once a war with the Qin State starts, which country dares to make peace with the Qin State alone, the other princes will crusade together. If someone breaks his promise, people and gods will be angry, and the princes of the world will punish him. ”
Xiong Huai, the king of Chu, finished reading the sacrificial text and threw it into the fire. Xiong Huai picked up the wine bottle and made a generous statement to the Five Nations Alliance, saying that he was angry and bloody: "Crusade against the tyrannical Qin." ”
"Crusade against the tyrannical Qin." The roar of the Five-Nation Coalition that shook the earth and the mountains echoed between the valleys, and could not be stopped for a long time.
Xiong Huai, the king of Chu, waved his banner and raised his arms and shouted, "The soldiers sent a letter to the valley to destroy the tyrannical Qin." ”
The five-nation coalition also made a thunderous sound.
To this day, the state of Chu is regarded as a barbarian by the princes of the Central Plains. He had such glory that the princes of the Central Plains not only elected him as the commander, but also let him give orders. The king of Chu commanded 70,000 Chu athletes with his general Zhaoyang to crusade against Qin. Korea took Han Peng, a son of the clan, as the general, Zhao Xie, the son of the clan, as the general, and Gongsun Yan as the general, commanding 70,000 soldiers of the country and crusading against the Qin state. Yan State is located in the north, the national strength is weak, with the crown prince Ji Ping as the general, leading 50,000 soldiers to the battle.
The total number of the five-nation alliance army is more than 300,000 soldiers, and the powerful lineup is enough to move the mountains and rivers and cry the world.
Xiong Huai, the king of Chu, waved his flag and said sharply: "The army is open." ”
The chief general of the five-nation alliance commanded his own men and horses, and drove into Hangu Pass.
Hangu Pass, according to the plateau in the west, borders the absolute stream in the east, connects the Qinling Mountains in the south, and runs the Yellow River in the north, which is a Xiongguan fortress. Because Luoyi to Haojing ancient road in the middle of the mountain to Tongguan is mostly in the valley between the rivers, the deep danger is like a letter, called the Han Valley. The length of this pass is less than 5 kilometers from east to west, and the narrowest part of the valley road can only accommodate one car. Therefore, Hangu Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is known as a husband and a man.
The Five Nations Coalition Army was huge, and it entered Hangu and shocked the Qin State. Faced with the worry of destroying the country, the Qin State was in a panic. King Yingsi of Qin also regretted a little, he should not have taken advantage of Han Wei to start a war against the Qi State. The crushing defeat of the Qin state gave an opportunity to unite the vassal states.
Ying Si stood in Xianyang Palace and sighed: "The rhino head, as soon as he makes a move, he will put the widow to death." The rhino head didn't remember that it was the widow who made him famous. Alas, when the rhino head left Qin, the widow should not let him go. The rhino head is the great talent of the country, and it cannot be used by the Qin State, so the widow should not let him live in the world. If it weren't for this, the Qin State would not be in danger today. ”
Win has the same idea, but now it's too late to regret it. With the strength of one person, the rhino head said that the princes let go of their past prejudices and unite the five kingdoms of Chu, Han, Wei, Zhao and Yan to attack Qin. Faced with the strong troops of the Five Nations Alliance, the Qin State did not dare to compete with it, and even gave up the land occupied by Hedong and returned all its troops to Hangu Pass. Hangu Pass has become a barrier for Qin, and if Hangu Pass is breached, Qin will be in danger of annihilation. The generals of the Qin State, seeing that the alliance of the five countries dared to attack, asked for battle one after another, and their morale was high.
King Yingsi of Qin is not so optimistic. The national strength of the Qin State will not be difficult to deal with any of the five countries. The Qin State was quite tired of dealing with Han and Wei with the strength of one country, and if it directly confronted the five countries, it would be like hitting a stone with an egg. Today, the people of the five countries are all elite people, and there are more than 300,000 people. The Qin State poured out the strength of the whole country, and the military strength that could fight a war was less than twenty-five. These 250,000 soldiers are the old capital of the Qin State. Without the certainty of victory, King Yingsi of Qin would not rush to war.
"Rhinoceros, rhino head, the widow treats you well. The widow made you famous in the first battle of Hexi, and the divine power spread all over the princes, but you don't remember the old friends, are ungrateful, and oppose the widow everywhere. Qin Wang Yingsi also felt a headache in the face of the mountain of military information in front of him on the desk. Suddenly, he thought of someone in the depths of his mind and shouted, "It would be nice if Zhang Yi was there." ”
While speaking, Ying Ji walked in and said happily: "Your Majesty, look who has come back." ”
Yingsi looked up and saw a person with tattered clothes and a disheveled head, completely downcast. Ying Ji couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, don't you see who he is?" ”
Ying Si looked at the person in front of her again, and snickered: "Zhang Yi, you are finally back, but you want to be widowed." As she spoke, Yingsi opened her hands and gave Zhang Yi a big hug. Zhang Yi took a few steps back unappreciatively, and said embarrassedly: "Your Majesty, the minister's body is too dirty. ”
Ying Si smiled and said, "Zhang Yi, you love makeup the most in your life." How could it be so landed? ”
Zhang Yi didn't feel shy, and said eloquently: "I'm ashamed to say that the heir of the prince of Wei asked me to get out of the Wei country." Your Majesty, you say I'm embarrassed. ”
Ying Jian sighed and said in surprise: "Zhang Yi, your mouth is known as invincible in the world, and it can repel millions of heroes." You can't help it. In this way, Zhang Yi, you are just in vain. ”
Zhang Yi laughed at herself: "Isn't it? Wei Poppy returned the gift and gave me three points, and Wei Hei dared to shout at me to get out of Wei. I came all the way to the west, and I had no money on me, I was hungry and cold, and I relied on begging to come to the Qin State, enter the Xianyang Palace, and see you, the king! ”
Zhang Yi's voice was moved and deliberately said that he was extremely pitiful, and he almost shed a few tears to render the atmosphere.
Seeing that the person who could speak the Tao also ended up in such a field, Ying Si couldn't help but smile, patted him on the shoulder, and said solemnly: "The Wei State doesn't want you, and the widowed Qin State welcomes you." ”
Zhang Yi's eyes lit up and said: "The king really doesn't dislike Zhang Yi. ”
Ying Ji said: "The position of Qin Xiang has been vacant, just to wait for your return. ”
"The head of the rhino is your mortal enemy." Ying Si asked loudly: "The rhino head attacked me with the combination of the five countries, and the momentum was huge, and the Qin country panicked. Zhangzi, what is your solution? ”
"Your Majesty, I rushed back to Qin for this matter." Zhang Yi straightened her dirty long hair, and regardless of her messy image, her eyes bloomed with confidence, "Gongsun Yan attacked me with the combination of the five countries." Lord, see how I have overcome the rhinoceros' strategy. ”
Ying Si had been disturbed by the Five Nations Alliance, and seeing that Zhang Yi had a solution, he hurriedly said: "Tell the widow quickly." ”
"The five-nation alliance is fierce and powerful, and if we want to save the country, we need to do our best." Zhang Yi walked to a sheepskin map hanging on the wall, pointed to a pass, and said: "If the Five Nations Alliance wants to enter Xianyang, it must pass through... Hangu Pass. Zhang Yi stared at Hangu Pass with both eyes and looked at it for a moment and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, if you keep Hangu Pass, you will guard the Qin State." ”
Ying Jian lowered his eyebrows and pondered: "The Five Nations Alliance is fierce, how can we hold the Hangu Pass." ”
Zhang Yi came prepared, took out a sketch from his big sleeve, and unfolded it on the table, "Chen just came back from Hangu Pass, and by the way, he inspected the topography of the Hangu Pass Mountain Range. China is directly at war with the five countries, and it will not have the upper hand. When the five-nation coalition encountered Hangu Pass, it was difficult for them to form a formation to launch an effective attack, and they could not give full play to the advantage of the coalition army's large number of generals. However, fighting alone is the advantage of our Qin State. We must take advantage of the terrain of Hangu Pass to block the coalition forces and annihilate their living forces. The Five Kingdoms have always been jealous of the military might of our Qin State, and they will not work together in order to preserve themselves. Once the five countries cannot attack Hangu for a long time, the five countries' armies will be in turmoil, and there will be a gap. At this time, it is time for me to talk about the princes. ”
Ying Si nodded and said with a smile: "Zhang Yi, you are sure to persuade the five countries to withdraw their troops." ”
Zhang Yi patted his chest and swore solemnly: "If the king can guard the Hangu Pass, I will have a way to persuade the dissolution of the Five Nations Alliance." ”
Ying Si glanced at Ying Ji, "Hangu Pass is the barrier of my Qin State, and the widow entrusts you with your safety." Zuo Shu, don't let the widow down. ”
Ying Jian hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty, it is a great responsibility to guard Hangu Pass, and you give me such an important place." Many veterans of the Qin State were not convinced. For the sake of prudence, the minister suggested that he should change to a respected veteran of the battlefield. ”
"The country of Qin is a country of widows. Whoever guards the gate of the widow will consider the opinions of others? If anyone dares to disagree, look at the methods of the widow. "Yingsi is not angry and arrogant," Hangu Pass is related to the life and death of the Qin State, how can you rest assured that it is handed over to them. Zuo Shuchang, the widow believes in your ability. ”
Seeing that he couldn't get rid of it, he gave it up: "No." ”
Zhang Yijin said: "Your Majesty, if we want to deal with the national crisis, we need to arouse the hearts of the people to share the same hatred and hatred. The minister suggested that the king personally promulgate a letter of martyrdom in Xianyang City. ”
Ying Si said: "This is natural. ”
Zhang Yi said: "Chief Zuo, when you were guarding Guguan, the incompetent Five Nations Coalition Army provoked and insulted, and you ignored it. No matter how tough the Five Kingdoms are to attack Hangu Pass, you have to defend it desperately. It must not be switched to meet it. ”
Win Ji asked: "With me winning, the Five Nations Alliance Army does not want to set foot in Hangu Pass." ”
"Okay." Yingsi encouraged: "What the widow wants is your words." ”
Ying Ji asked, "I have held the Hangu Pass. I don't know what Zhang Yi has to divide the five countries and persuade them to withdraw their troops. ”
Zhang Yi smiled wryly: "The five countries are divided, and the help of the Qi country is indispensable. ”
Win said: "The five countries attack me, what does it have to do with the Qi country." ”
Zhang Yi pointed to the map on the wall and said: "Chu, Han, Wei, Zhao and Yan are combined, and they can attack our Qin State to the east, and they can also deter the Qi State to the west." We sent people to appear in Linzi in Qi State. What will the five countries react to when they see each other? ”
"The five countries thought that the Qi State was allied with our Qin State." Win said: "The five-nation alliance army is attacked by the enemy on its back, and if it attacks our country, it will also be afraid of Qi State." Isn't it that the country of Qi was dragged into the water by us. ”
"When the Qi country won the battle against our country, it thought that it was invincible in the world. Gongsun Yan invited the King of Qi to participate in the joint attack on Qin, and the King of Qi categorically refused to join. Zhang Yi smiled evilly: "Now that the momentum of the Five Kingdoms has been achieved, the Qi State is not on the same line as us." Then, after the five kingdoms break through the Qin State, they will turn their guns and aim at the Qi State. ”
Ying Si smiled and said, "With the help of Qi Guo, we can make a big fuss." ”
Win said: "Not bad. First, the Qi State was used to disrupt the Five Nations Formation. ”
Zhang Yi said: "The minister went to say that Chu and Yan persuaded the two countries to withdraw their troops. With 250,000 Qin troops, we attacked 210,000 people in Sanjin, and the national problem could be solved. ”
Ying Si laughed loudly: "With Zhang Yi here, the widow can sleep peacefully." ”
Zhang Yi faced Xianyang Palace and said in his heart: "Rhino, you have the Five Kingdoms to attack Qin, and then you will see how I break your alliance." ”
The battle between Han Zhao, Wei Chuyan and Qin Guo was not a contest between Gongsun Yan and Zhang Yi. These countries are just pawns in the game between the two. Gongsun Yan and Zhang Yi, who is the one who stirs up the storm.
