Less than a quarter of an hour after Su Qin entered the city, from all kinds of strange signs in the city, he had already expected that the Qin army had fled from this place. He didn't even get off his horse, waved his hand to his subordinates, and ordered: "Quickly follow me out of the city, let's pursue the Qin army!" ”

Su Qin arrived at the western outskirts of Mianchi again, and at this time, people from all sides of Mianchi City had already rushed to join the army. Ning Jun, Yan Sui, Zhou Shao and other generals saw the scene of the Chu army camp in the western suburbs, and they all stared at them in surprise, unable to believe that such a big change had taken place overnight.

Su Qin didn't have time to count the men and horses of the combined column, so he ordered generals such as Ning Jun, Yan Sui, and Zhou Shao to lead the troops of the combined column, sort out the order, advance in order, and pursue in the direction of Hangu Pass.

Su Qin himself took the lead and acted as the vanguard of the whole army. He regretted that his intestines were green at this moment, and he regretted that since he saw the danger of Chen Zhi, the deputy general of the Chu army, and reminded the young general Qu Xin to take precautions, but he did not take it personally, get rid of this person, and regretted that he did not seize the time to attack Michi, and break the city and kill the enemy as soon as possible.

This battle of Michi is not the same as the battle of Anyi, the numerical advantage of the combined column army was not obvious, and it was only a small alliance of Zhao, Wei and Qi, and the people were not aligned, so there were too many uncertain factors in the hard fight with the Qin army, and at that time he could only bluff to scare the Qin people in order to maximize the benefits.

However, this time in Mianchi, the combined column army was several times larger than the Qin army in the city of Mianchi, coupled with the unexpected use of troops in advance, the Qin army was besieged in the city, and it was only a matter of time before the combined column army won the victory over the Qin army. But who would have thought that the duck in his hand flew away and fell short.

Su Qin hurried forward, and at the same time ordered his soldiers to march quickly in the direction of Hangu Pass at all costs. Su Qin thought to himself: "Although the Qin army has already fled from the dangerous place, it was only two or three hours ago, if the combined column army is in time, maybe it can still trap most of the Qin army." ”

He no longer had the slightest fear, and decided to let go and chase the Qin army, although there may be a danger of being counterattacked by the Qin army, but what a painful lesson it is to sit back and watch the Qin army slip away from under his nose, Su Qin is remorseful and annoyed, how can he give up!

However, when he arrived at Baishi City, the only place to pass through on his way to Hangu Pass, and found that the Chu army stationed in his southern city had also abandoned the city, Su Qin faintly realized that the greatest victory in the Battle of Michi might have been lost.

Since the Hezhong army went to the Mianchi battlefield, they recovered Jiaoyang City and Baishi City, and also lifted the siege of Shangguan City

As many as 30,000 or 40,000 Qin troops were killed or wounded, but they did not have the great results of trapping the main force of the Qin army led by Sima Cuo in Mianchi.

Such a favorable situation, if it had been successfully completed, the world would no longer have to worry about the strength of the Qin State for decades, and perhaps it would have returned to the era of the first struggle of a hundred years ago.

However, in this short overnight, the elite division of the Qin army that accidentally let go of Mianchi undoubtedly lost a historical opportunity. Su Qin thought bitterly: "This kind of God-given opportunity may never appear a second time." ”

He also vaguely thought that this opportunity of the Qin army would not come so coincidentally, as if they had foreseen the sudden withdrawal of the Chu army, and then drilled through this fleeting gap with purpose and plan.

Even though all kinds of strange things happen in the world, they will never be as consistent and seamless as this time.

"Isn't this a human conspiracy? But if it is a human scheme, who has such an earth-shattering calculation and arrangement? Su Qin thought hard for a long time, and at the same time hurried forward. He thought of his junior brother Zhang Yi, and felt that the person who could break his conspiracy was none other than Zhang Yi's Lianheng, however, Zhang Yi's junior brother had only been in Qin for less than a year, how could he get such trust from the people of Qin.

He knew very well that if Qin Jun Yingsi had not completely handed over the command and disposal power to Zhang Yi, the Qin army would not be able to carry out his orders tightly, and his strategy would be greatly reduced.

"Even though Senior Brother Zhang has the eloquence of a lotus flower, he can impress Qin Jun to win and get an important official position, but how can the power that dominates the entire political and military arena of the Qin State be handed over to him so quickly?"

Su Qin then thought of one of his most unbelievable results, that is, Senior Brother Zhang Yi had been appointed as the minister of the Qin State, becoming the ruling minister of the Qin State under one person and above ten thousand people. It is necessary to have such power in order to mobilize all the power of the Qin State and solve the crisis of the Qin army.

Moreover, the situation of the Michi War was not reversed by simply fighting and competing with each other with the national strength of the Qin State.

The alliance must be broken by the Qin State's continuous and horizontal strategy. It is not at all something that can be dissolved by the retarded struggle, such as being brave and ruthless, simple-minded and well-developed limbs, being reckless for a while, being quick for a moment, impulsive and fantasizing about naivety.

Before, Su Qin thought that Qin Jun was just a monarch who still had perseverance, but was a little paranoid and naïve, and he was ignorant, so it was impossible for him to obey Zhang Yi's junior brother, so he already had a chance of winning the battle in Michi. Now that such a strange and earth-shattering change has taken place, how could he not suspect that it was caused by Zhang Yi's junior brother being highly valued by the Qin State?

Su Qin pursued the Qin army closely from behind, but the speed of the Qin army's retreat was not slow at all, they had discarded most of their baggage under Zhang Yi's arrangement, and all of them advanced lightly, so the speed of the march was greatly accelerated.

As a pursuer, the combined column army can of course move forward with all its strength, and it can move faster than the Qin State Michi combat force as an escapee. However, after all, the Qin army set off more than two hours in advance, and the Chu army got out of the way, the Qin army had no hindrance, and when they finally saw the towering and tall tower of Hangu Pass, the soldiers of the Qin State cheered.

The experience of nine deaths was deeply engraved into their memories, after nearly two months of battlefield torment in Michi, they were locked in an isolated city, and everyone had almost lost the luxury of returning home, thinking that they would say goodbye to their relatives or wives and bury their bones in a foreign land in this life.

This sudden three-hundred-mile escape, and finally returned safely to the door of the Qin State, the towering Hangu Pass, how could it not make every soldier of the Qin State who had participated in the Battle of Michi ecstatic?

After the officers and men of the Qin army learned that the commander of this successful retreat was a new prime minister of the Qin State, Zhang Yi, everyone discussed: "This person is really a clever man, if he is not an outstanding capable person, how can he have such a miraculous pen!" ”
