It turned out that the right-wing coalition army led by Ning Jun was not easy to fight, and Gongsun Yan was not a pure straw bag, and he had his own set of methods for commanding operations, fortifying at all levels, and was unwilling to retreat easily.

On the way to attack, the coalition forces on the right encountered many blockades from Gongsun Yan's troops, and Ning Jun advanced steadily and steadily all the way in accordance with the pre-war deployment.

He divided the right coalition army into three echelons, and the armies of Han, Wei, and Yan took turns to attack and advance around the front, and Ning Jun himself was also stubborn, and every time he took the lead and charged at the front.

The Qin army was fierce and stubborn at first, but because of the lack of superiority in numbers, it was defeated and retreated under the repeated attacks of the coalition forces on the right.

The fierce battle between the coalition army on the right and the Qin people lasted until the night, and Ning Jun did not give the Qin army any room to breathe, he took the lead and constantly shouted the order to attack, inspiring the soldiers of the coalition army to fight bravely to kill the enemy.

Li You, who was trapped in Shangguan City, found that the coalition army that had broken the siege had been killed under the city, and he also led his troops out of the city to flank the Qin army. After the last battle, Gongsun Yan's troops finally couldn't resist the enemy, gave up their position under Shangguan City, and retreated in defeat.

Su Qin listened carefully to the messenger's report, and couldn't help but think in his heart: "This Ning Jun's ability to execute the battle plan is really first-class. If it was an ordinary general, he might have stopped his attack long ago when he encountered the stubborn resistance of the Qin army. There is that weak and incompetent person who even threw away his armor and fled, just like the previous Korean captain Xu Mu, the difficult situation of the battle of Michi, which has something to do with him. ”

Ning Jun opened up the connection with Shangguancheng, which meant that this combat operation was at least a small part of the success.

If the right-wing coalition army led by Lian Ningjun is also forced to withdraw like the left-wing coalition army, then all the allied forces involved in the battle of Michi may face a "dead end".

At that time, the Xipi Valley was also bound to give up, because this place was connected to Mianchi, Shangguan and Jiaoyang through mountain roads, and it was a dangerous place to be attacked on three sides, in that case, how could Su Qin dare to put an army of more than 100,000 in such a narrow place.

Su Qin listened to the report of the messenger of the Right Army, and his mind also had a new eyebrow for the future battle. And this new eyebrow is undoubtedly based on the basis of having already achieved control of Shangguan City.

Under this situation, the geographical location of Xipi has become very important, and you can retreat to Shangguan City, or return to Sogo City. Advance can threaten the Qin army in Mianchi and Jiaoyang.

Su Qin thought of this, and couldn't help but smile, he said in his heart: "It is estimated that after Sima Coo got the news of the defeat of the Qin army under Shangguan City, he was so angry that his lungs were about to explode, right?" At the same time, he may also regret his intestines, because the Qin army lost the strategic fulcrum of Xipi. ”

Just like the chessboard when playing chess, an inadvertent change caused a sudden change in the overall situation. This victory under Shangguan City just highlighted the importance of Xipi and revitalized the entire "chess game" of Mianchi.

The messenger who reported the news observed Su Qin's expression while talking to Su Qin, and found that the coach couldn't hide the joy in his heart, pursed his lips for a while, and laughed out loud for a while. He said in his heart: "The boss's expression is really strange. Even if it's a victory, it won't let him get out of control so much. ”

Where did the messenger know that in fact, Su Qin's joy was not only because he was happy about the victory of the Right Route Army, but also because he saw the great hope of turning the tide of the battle in Michi, how could he be happy?

The letter took more than half an hour to talk about the combat situation of the right-wing coalition army, and Su Qin patiently listened to him, and then called the lieutenant military commander and ordered: "The messenger of the right-wing coalition army came overnight, and it was very hard. Take him to breakfast, and settle him well, and do not neglect the messenger. ”

The lieutenant commander agreed again and again, and left the big tent with the messenger. Only then did Su Qin realize that he hadn't picked it up after getting up, so he washed his face, rinsed his mouth, and ate some breakfast with a happy mood.

In the morning of the same day, Su Qin once again beat drums to gather the generals, and gathered the generals of the left road column army composed of Zhao, Qi, and Chu into the big tent of the Chinese army.

Su Qin first announced to everyone the good news of the victory of the right-wing coalition army, and then ordered the left-wing coalition army led by him to rest in the west for five days and wait for the next move. On the one hand, the troops of all walks of life should rest and recuperate, and at the same time, they should also strengthen their vigilance to guard against a sneak attack by the Qin army.

When the generals learned the good news of the Right Route Army, they were all overjoyed, and felt that General Ning Jun had taken a bad breath for himself. The heavy pressure on the hearts of the generals due to the unfavorable combat has also been greatly reduced. They left one after another after receiving the order, but Yan Sui stayed.

Su Qin knew that Yan Sui stayed, there must be something to say, he watched the other generals come out of the tent of the Chinese army, so he invited Yan Sui to sit beside him, and asked, "General Yan must have something to tell me." ”

Yan Sui was very polite when he heard Su Qin's words, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "The prime minister is too modest, how dare the last general tell me?" I just have some small doubts and want to ask the prime minister. ”

Su Qin said: "General Yan has something to say, I will listen carefully." ”

Yan Sui smiled innocently and scratched his head embarrassedly. Su Qin looked at his demeanor, and found that Yan Sui was very straightforward, don't look at him when he fights bravely, like a cheetah with teeth and claws, but on weekdays, he is a simple person who may blush when he says three sentences, and he is not good at words. Therefore, when Su Qin and Yan Sui spoke, they always had to give more words of encouragement.

Yan Sui listened to Su Qin's advice, and then said: "Prime Minister Rongyu, I feel that we are stationed here in the west now, I'm afraid it won't be a long-term plan." The western part of the country is narrow, and the army of more than 100,000 cannot be used here at all, and once it is besieged, our army has no advantage in numbers. Moreover, the west is sparsely populated, and it is inconvenient to communicate with the rear, so the supply of grain, grass and supplies is very laborious. ”

Su Qin heard Yan Sui's worries, and he deliberately stayed to admonish out of concern for the safety of the joint column. With Yan Sui's honest personality, if he wasn't really uneasy in his heart, he wouldn't have casually thrown this question to himself.

Of course, Su Qin already had a full consideration for the next battle in his heart, but he was once again faced with a choice: that is, should he say his thoughts? In fact, this is also testing whether he can trust the generals around him.

Su Qin pondered for a long time, his heart was struggling, and he wanted to tell Yan Sui his calculations in one go, but the lessons from the past were so painful.

Su Qin couldn't make up his mind for a while, and he didn't know whether it was better to say it or keep it a secret, so he was silent.

Later, he also felt that he was embarrassed not to reply to Yan Sui for a long time, so he casually responded with an "oh" and politely replied: "What General Yan said is also very reasonable. ”
