The commanders of Qin and Chu gave the order to go to war, and the two armies clashed without a win. King Yingsi of Qin stood on the city tower and was really surprised to see the bravery of the Chu people. The state of Qi was busy dealing with the princes of the Central Plains, as well as the Rongyi to the west. There has never been a fierce confrontation between Qin and Chu. In today's battle, he saw that Chu would become Qin's most difficult enemy.

After Qin Chu attacked several times, the battlefield situation fell into a stalemate. More than 60,000 Chu troops poured out, while Qin still had more than 200,000 reserve forces. Zhang Yi suggested to Yingsi that 10,000 elite soldiers be sent to join the attack on Chu. Once the Chu people are defeated, the situation on the battlefield will be reversed for the Qin state. Ying Si agreed to Zhang Yi's suggestion, turned to a general and said, "Sima Cuo, the widow will allocate 10,000 horses to support you, and you must give the widow a blow to the Chu people." ”

Sima Coo arched his hand and said, "No." ”

Due to Sima Cuo's 10,000 new troops joining the battlefield, the situation on the battlefield suddenly reversed. Under the attack of the Qin people, the Chu people could only take a defensive posture and no longer dared to take the initiative to attack. Gongsun Yan, Zhao Xie, Han Peng, and Ji Ping stood on a high place, witnessing the duel between the Qin and Chu people.

Ji Ping shouted: "Rhino head, the Chu army can't stand it." ”

Han Peng said: "Rhino head, should we go to support the Chu army." ”

Zhao Xie replied: "Zhaoyang is too conceited, let the Qin people teach them a good lesson." ”

Ji Ping had long been unaccustomed to Zhaoyang, so he nodded and said, "General Chu, let's see how he exerts his prestige and how he attacks the Qin people." If we go to support him, General Chu will be unhappy. ”

Han Peng said: "It's hard for us to watch the Chu people fall one after another. ”

Gongsun Yan had been watching the battle situation all the time, and he also understood that if the Chu people lost, it would shake the morale of the Five Nations Alliance. The Qin State invested 10,000 troops to fight, and although the Chu people were tired of coping, the brave spirit of the Chu people was vividly exerted, and there was no sign of defeat. This battle is a battle for honor by the Chu people. Han, Zhao, Wei, and Yan sent troops to help the Chu people, but it would make the Chu people unhappy.

Gongsun Yan opened his mouth and said, "If the Chu people are defeated, they will definitely ask us for help." We are ready to meet the Chu army. ”

Zhao Xie, Han Peng and Ji Ping arched their hands and said, "No." ”

Seeing that he had invested 10,000 troops, he still couldn't defeat the Chu people, and laughed at himself: "The Chu people are so difficult to deal with. ”

Zhang Yi said: "Your Majesty, we must win. ”

King Qin looked around at the generals around him, pointed at Yinghua and said, "Should you make meritorious contributions?" ”

In the first battle of Sanqiu, the Qin State was defeated, and tens of thousands of Qin men died in a foreign land. As the main general, Yinghua should be with the soul of the soldier. However, the deputy general beside Yinghua saw that it was difficult to recover the fate of defeat. did not hesitate to offend the commander-in-chief, knock him out and forcibly take him off the battlefield. The adjutant general led the soldiers of the Qin State and rushed to the camp of the Qi army. Yinghua returned to the Qin State, faced with tens of thousands of dead soldiers, felt ashamed, bought drunk with wine every day, and became increasingly depressed.

After Yingsi saw Yinghua's return, she didn't work hard, and locked herself in a dark room all day long to numb herself with wine. Yingsi didn't want to see him so decadent. When he came to Yinghua's mansion, he kicked in the door, carried his clothes, and said angrily: "Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers. A manly man can afford to lose. You are a good boy whose surname Zhao won me, how can you be frustrated and annoyed by a defeat. Yinghua, you are too disappointing to the widow. You don't deserve to be a good boy with the surname Zhao. After saying that, Yingsi threw him to the ground and didn't look at him.

Yinghua was unmoved, and said in frustration: "Tens of thousands of soldiers, all their lives are lost." I have dishonored your mission, O king. also failed the Great Qin soldiers. I'm damned, I'm damned. ”

Yingsi went up and punched him hard, "How did you lose, just give the widow double to win back." I win the boy surnamed Zhao, and I am not afraid of losing. If you are afraid, you are afraid of losing, and you don't have the courage to stand up. The ancestors of the Great Qin Dynasty were all unable to stand up because of the defeat in the First World War. How can there be today's situation in Daqin. ”

Yinghua shouted: "Your Majesty, can I still win it back?" ”

Ying Si turned her back to him and said coldly: "Gongsun Yan invited Han, Zhao, Wei, Chuyan, and the five kingdoms to join forces, and prepared to destroy my Qin State." If you are a descendant of the Zhao family, put on your armor and go to the country with the widow. At the moment of the national crisis, the man surnamed Zhao will not choose to retire. ”

The next day, Yinghua put on her armor and came to Xianyang Palace.

Ying Si said happily: "Ying Hua, you are finally back." ”

Yinghua knelt on the ground and confessed: "Your Majesty, Yinghua is back. Please give me a chance to make meritorious deeds. ”

"Okay." Ying Si patted Ying Hua's strong arm, "Tomorrow you and the widow will go to Hangu Pass together." Regain the lost dignity of my descendants with the surname of Win. ”

Ying Si saw that the 10,000 elite soldiers led by Sima Cuo could not defeat the Chu people. So, let Yinghua lead 10,000 elite soldiers and join the battlefield. This battle is a battle for Yinghua to regain herself. Yinghua led 10,000 troops and sent a letter to Guguan to kill the position of the Chu people, for the sake of glory, he forgot his life and death. He was wounded by the sword several times, but he still rushed to the enemy line despite his strength. As a general, he should protect himself, but Yinghua does not care about his personal safety. Yinghua's performance stimulated the bloody nature of the Qin army's soldiers, and the Qin people attacked the Chu people with a roar.

On the battlefield, the Qin State had 20,000 more soldiers, and the situation was unfavorable to the Chu army. Zhaoyang could not withstand the strong attack of the Qin people. But he is a person who cherishes honor, and he can't let go of his face to ask for help from the Four-Nation Alliance of Han, Zhao, Weiyan, and Yan. In order to preserve his living strength, Zhaoyang ordered to retreat.

As soon as Yinghua saw Yinghua come out of the horse, the Chu people retreated, and said with great joy: "Yinghua is worthy of being a fierce general, and the Chu people are terrified." ”

Zhao Xie said: "Rhino head, the Chu people have retreated." ”

"What about us?" Gongsun Yan raised his hand and prepared to deal with the retreat of the Chu army and the attack of the Qin army.

When the Qin army saw that the Chu army had retreated, they wanted to take advantage of the Chu people's morale to capture the opponent's position and break the Chu army in one go. However, as soon as the Qin army arrived in front of the Chu army, they encountered thousands of arrows from the coalition army. One by one, the soldiers of the Qin army fell in front of the dense rain of arrows. Ying Ji shouted, "Yinghua is back." ”

Yinghua used her long sword to push away the rain of arrows, looking very unwilling. Ying Ji commanded the Qin army to return to Hangu Pass, and the gate was closed again. Although the Qin army failed to eliminate the living force of the Chu army, repelling the Chu army was also a major event that boosted morale. King Yingsi of Qin walked down the city tower and personally greeted the returning soldiers of the Qin army.

Ying Ji, Yinghua and Sima Chu bowed and said, "Minister, please meet the king." ”

"Okay." Ying Si looked around at the faces of the Great Qin soldiers and encouraged: "You are all good men of Great Qin. ”

The soldiers of Great Qin shouted in unison: "Long live the Qin State, long live the king." ”

The sound of the mountain roaring and tsunami diffused from Hangu Pass. Yingsi set up a banquet in the big tent to reward the generals who had made meritorious contributions to the battle. Alcohol is not allowed in the barracks, and Yingsi can only replace wine with water, and respects everyone: "On the day of Desheng, return to Xianyang." The widow drank with you for three days. ”

Although the people drank water, they drank it quite happily.

Ying Ji asked, "Zhang Xiang." I lived up to my mission, blocked many offensives of the coalition forces, and held the Hangu Pass. I don't know what strategy Zhang Xiang has to solve the crisis of my country. ”

"The generals have worked hard." Zhang Yi arched his hand and said: "Everyone worked together to repel the attack of the Chu people and boost the morale of our army. Now the strength of the five-nation alliance has also been exhausted by us. Your Majesty, it's my turn. ”

"Yinghua is willing to be a pioneer, at your disposal."

"How dare I dispatch a general. However, if I want to divide the five countries, I will also rely on the power of the general. Zhang Yi pointed to the battlefield situation made of mud and said to the generals: "These days, I have secretly sent scouts to investigate the distribution of the Five Nations Alliance. Zhang Yi took out the bamboo slips from his big sleeve, "Generals, please take a look." This is a strategy I have formulated based on the distribution of the coalition forces and the combat capability of the coalition forces. ”

After Ying Si took the view, he smiled and said, "Okay! Zhang Yi, you have done so much homework without telling the widow. ”

After reading it, he said happily: "Great, now I am confident that I can defeat the Five Nations Alliance." ”

Zhang Yi arched his hand at Yinghua and said, "Can you ask the general to lead 5,000 soldiers and send me to the Yan army's big tent." ”

"Zhang Xiang has a life, and Yinghua should serve himself."

Yingsi asked, "Zhang Yi, what are you doing in Yan Kingdom?" ”

"Among the Five Nations Alliance, Yan is the weakest. It is also the farthest from our country. The minister wanted to go to Yan State, and it was said that the chief general of the Yan army persuaded him to withdraw from the army. ”

Ying Si stopped: "The widow can't let you take the risk. ”

"Your Majesty, let your ministers go! The Yan State retreated, and the coalition camp would also loosen. The crisis in our country is difficult. ”

"Good. The widow promises you. But thou shalt come back alive to see the widow. ”

"Thank you, the king." Zhang Yi said again: "Your Majesty, I will go to the Yan Army's big tent to say." Please send a group of men and horses to continue to attack the Chu army. He also divided a road of men and horses to cut off the grain route of Chu State. The Chu people have no food, so they will naturally retreat. As soon as the state of Chu retreated, the rest was the Three Jins. Between the Three Jin Dynasty, Wei was the most hostile to our country. We concentrated our main forces to attack Wei, and Wei could not withstand our strong attack, and would take the initiative to retreat. When Han and Zhao saw that Wei had retreated, they would also withdraw their troops on their own. ”

"Zhang Yi, you can go with confidence! Widow, it will go according to what you say. ”

Zhang Yi bowed and bowed, and then walked out of the big tent.

Seeing the back of Zhang Yi leaving, Ying Ji asked: "Your Majesty, Zhang Xiang's trip is afraid that it will be more auspicious." ”

"Zhang Yi is this kind of character, always like to challenge things that others can't do." Yingsi soothed her tone and said with a smile: "The widow believes that he will return safely." ”

Yinghua led 5,000 soldiers and made trouble in the Yan army's position. Zhang Yi took advantage of the cover of night to infiltrate the Yan army camp. Ji Ping, the commander of the Yan army, was in the camp tent, staring at the map. Today, the Chu people are at war with the Qin people, and he has witnessed it with his own eyes. The combat effectiveness of the Qin people cannot be underestimated. Suddenly, there was a commotion outside the account. Ji Ping walked out of the account and saw that the soldiers of the Yan Army surrounded a few people, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"General, an assassin has broken in."

"Assassin." Ji Ping waved his hand, "Kill them." ”

"Wait. We are not assassins, but messengers of Qin. ”

"An envoy of the State of Qin." Ji Ping's face was murderous, "Kill." ”

"General, if you kill us, you will regret it."

Ji Ping saw that the man was still quite bold, and asked, "Who are you?" ”

"Qin Xiang Zhang Yi."

"You are Qin Xiang, come to my camp to do something."

"I'm here to help the general."

"What can you help me?"

"The prince is leading the troops outside, and everything is fine in Yan Kingdom." Zhang Yi retreated and said: "If the prince doesn't want to listen, please kill me." ”

"I'd like to hear what you want to say." Ji Ping made a clicking gesture, "If you can't say anything, don't blame the long sword in my hand." ”

Ji Ping entered the big tent, sat on the main seat, and asked, "Zhang Yi, what do you want to help me?" ”

"The kingdom of Yan and the kingdom of Qin are the kingdom of brothers. Qin is not the enemy of Yan State, why does Yan State send troops to attack our Qin State. ”

Ji Ping replied nonchalantly, "Are you here to count the crimes of my Yan Kingdom?" ”

"Definitely." Zhang Yi said, "Yan and Qin are brothers. The daughter of my king, married the first king as his wife, in order to continue the good of Yan and Qin for a hundred years. There were no territorial disputes between Yan and Qin, and there were no wars. The two countries have always lived in harmony. What benefits can Yan gain from attacking Qin. ”

"This..."Ji Ping couldn't answer.

"The new king of Yan succeeded to the throne, and Ren Zizhi was the prime minister. Zizhi manipulated the national affairs of Yan and issued a decree for King Yan to exclude dissidents. At this moment, there is already a heart of disobedience. The crown prince led 50,000 troops to attack Qin, and the country of Yan was empty. Prince, aren't you afraid that Zizhi will collude with Qi and Beihu to carve up Yan Kingdom? ”

"The Qin State is not the enemy of the Yan State. Qi and Beihu are the enemies of Yan. Zizhi is also the prince, your enemy. As long as the crown prince withdraws, Qin will be an ally of Yan. Qi and Beihu attacked Yan, and Qin would also send troops to help. Prince, with the support of the Qin State, Zizhi does not dare to risk the disapproval of the world. ”

In the past few days, Ji Ping has also received news from Yan Kingdom.

Beihu heard that in the Yan Kingdom, the army was empty, and the heavy troops were pressing. The State of Qi also stationed heavy troops on the border of the State of Yan. Yan Xiangzi, continue to exercise power and exclude dissidents. Taifu was also driven away by Zizhi. The court of Yan Kingdom is full of Zizhi's cronies. Ji Ping thought that if he didn't go back, the world of Yan Kingdom would become a son.

In fact, Ji Ping had already moved the idea of withdrawing troops. After Zhang Yi said something, his intention to withdraw his troops became even more acute. He was also very polite to Zhang Yi, "Okay, I promise to withdraw from the army, can what Qin Xiang said today be true." ”

Zhang Yi raised his hand and said: "Zhang Yi swears to the sky that if he breaks his promise, he will not die well." ”
