Zhao Jun Li Mu led tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to gallop at a long distance, and the journey that was supposed to take several days was more than half of the march in just one day, and the generals were already slightly tired after walking, and the soldiers behind were also sleepy and tired.

After a long journey, a big mountain appeared in front of the soldiers of Zhao Jun, Liu Xiang felt a stone tablet inserted in the ground at the foot of the mountain from a distance, so he walked into the past and saw two big red characters embedded in it "Xishan".

After reading it, Liu Xiang walked up to Li Mu and said: "General, our army has arrived at Xishan, and the soldiers are already exhausted, and their combat effectiveness has been greatly reduced, so let's take a little rest before marching to the Great Wall."

Li Mu agreed to order the soldiers to rest on the spot, and then gathered Liu Xiang, Ye Zhao, Sima Shang and other generals together, and said: "The captain sent by Guo Yue just now said that Lingchuan's Qin army has conquered Ge Xin and is now approaching Pingyang, Wang Peng concentrated a large army to attack Wucheng has conquered more than 100 military camps outside Wucheng and near Zhangshui, and our army must speed up in the future to relieve Wucheng Pingyang."

After finishing speaking, Li Mu's expression was much more solemn, and Han Chao said: "General, I heard that Qiu Hao in Nawu City is both civil and military, and there are more than ten generals and more than 20,000 elite soldiers under his command, so he should be able to withstand it for a while."

Jiang Chen said: "Otherwise, Wang Peng and Li Xin joined forces, and the King of Qin transferred some soldiers and horses, and now their troops have reached a total of more than 80,000, even if he Qiu Hao has great ability, if we rescue him one minute later, he may die."

Liu Xiang heard Li Mu and these people mention the name Qiu Hao, and asked puzzledly: "Who is Qiu Hao?"

Li Mu said: "Qiu Hao is the nephew of General Zhao Hao, the nephew of General Zhao, the son of the hussar general Qiu Hong, Qiu Hao I met him in Handan when he was a child, when Qiu Hong pointed to him and told me that he could shoot a hundred stone bows and hit the target a hundred steps away.

I saw that he was only six or seven years old and didn't believe what Qiu Hong said, just at this time a line of geese flew in the air, Qiu Hao didn't say a word to raise his bow and lead the arrow, and an arrow shot down a wild goose in the middle, I cut the wild goose that fell to the ground and saw that the arrow shot through the head of the wild goose.

At this time, I never dared to believe that a six or seven-year-old child could have such great ability, so I had the idea of letting him join the army, and it happened that Qiu Hong also had this idea, and he had read many military books since he was a child.

Three years later, when he was ten years old, his strength was enough to defeat an adult officer in the army, and the average ordinary soldier was no match for him, because his father was a military general, and he was already as good as an ordinary fierce general.

Five years ago, he and his father Qiu Hong fought against the Qin army, when he was only thirteen years old, when the Qin and Zhao armies were defeated, he led more than 100 cavalry Pegasus to leap into the enemy formation to defeat the Qin army, which also made Li Xin frightened when he heard his name, so he was appreciated by the king of Zhao and named him the general of Huwei."

As soon as Li Mu finished speaking, Sima Shang continued: "When he was fifteen years old, he guarded Luyang with his father Qiu Hong, and the Qin generals Li Xin and Zang Chao led an army of 50,000 to surround Luyang on all sides, and Zhang Guang Xinsheng and two Qin armies intercepted all the reinforcements of our army.

Li Xin sent people into the city to persuade him to surrender, and the people who persuaded him to surrender were killed by Qiu Hong as soon as they entered Luyang, Qiu Hao threw his head from the city tower, and Zang Chao saw that the persuasion could not be successful, so he pretended to retreat to lure our army to attack.

Qiu Hong saw that the Zhao army in the city had held out for more than 20 days, although he repelled hundreds of attacks by the Qin army, but he also suffered heavy casualties, so he decided to lead the army to pursue and let go.

Qiu Hao had no choice but to take advantage of the withdrawal of the Qin army overnight, and secretly sent all the people in the city into the mountains and forests outside the city, and because he was relieved that his father could not explain it, he went out of the city with the army to pursue.

Sure enough, as Qiu Hao expected, Zang Chao led the army back and instantly devoured the Zhao army, Qiu Hong knew that the entire army would be wiped out soon, so he handed over the elite more than 1,000 people of the Qin army under his command to Qiu Hao to let him break through.

Qiu Hao was not pulled away by Qiu Hong's subordinates, Qiu Hao shed tears and broke through to the east, and after a while, Qiu Hong and more than 500 people under his tent all died in the chaos, Zang Chao cut off Qiu Hong's head and asked for credit.

Li Xin led the Qin army to the city of Luyang, when he saw the city gate wide open, but he didn't think so, after entering the city, he found that the city was empty, and he only thought that the Zhao army had evacuated the people in advance, and he didn't think much about it.

In the middle of the night, Qiu Hao's arrangement of 500 elite soldiers set fire to all around, and they disguised themselves as Qin soldiers to assassinate the wandering Qin soldiers, and soon the entire Luyang became a sea of fire, and the 500 Zhao soldiers took advantage of the turmoil in the city to quietly leave the city.

After leaving the city, they attacked more than ten Qin army transport teams, and finally this Zhao army caught up with Qiu Hao, who broke through the siege, and Qiu Hao swore revenge after learning that his father had died in battle.

Han Chao continued: "After that incident, Qiu Hao's personality changed drastically and became cold, he rarely smiled, he was usually expressionless most of the time, he took the initiative to attack the small army of the Qin army countless times, and the Qin army that he attacked was all killed without leaving a single living mouth.

Because of his merits, the king of Zhao promoted him to the general of the expedition to the west, and stationed him in the three cities of Wucheng, Pingyang, and Gexi, and now he is only eighteen years old."

After listening to what everyone said, Liu Xiang said: "This person is really a talent who is one in a hundred, I really want to make friends with him."

Jiang Chen secretly thought: "If I can get the assistance of this person, the eldest brother will definitely be like a tiger, and soon after I left the eldest brother's side, with Qiu Hao's presence, I will definitely be able to turn evil into good fortune."

Li Mu got up and waved his hand to signal to continue moving forward, all the generals got on their horses together, and the soldiers behind also picked up their weapons again, and people thought of Wucheng roaring away.

Twenty miles outside Wucheng

Wang Peng rode a high-headed horse and said to Li Xin beside him: "Look, even if you say how powerful this Qiu Hao is, the Zhao army in front of us is so vulnerable, and Qiu Hao's soldiers and horses are simply hitting a stone with an egg."

"Yes, I didn't expect our army to break through the thirty-mile defense line outside Wucheng arranged by Qiu Hao so soon, and the defense line on the south bank of Zhangshui, the defense line on the north bank of Zhangshui, the fifty-mile defense line outside Wucheng, and the thirty-mile defense line outside Wucheng arranged by Qiu Hao have all been conquered by us, and the remaining ten or so military camp strongholds are not to be feared at all."

After Li Xin finished speaking with a smile, the expression on his face darkened and continued: "I will personally capture Qiu Hao this time, and I will avenge the shame of defeat a few years ago."

"It seems that we can capture Wucheng without Ling Chuan's help, and I don't know what the progress route of Ling Chuan's side is, Pingyang is not as easy to be captured as Ge Xian."

As he spoke, Wang Peng turned his head and glanced twice in the direction of Pingyang in the northwest.

Qiu Hao's 10,000 soldiers and horses have been assembled and are ready to burn with the Qin army.
