Chapter 184: The Movements of the Qin State
Qin State, Xianyang.
Half a month passed, and the 300,000 troops of the Six-Nation Alliance were stationed in Anyi and did not move a single bit. The depression before the mountain rain is about to come, shrouded in the thousands of miles of fertile soil in Guanzhong. Intelligence services, including the talkatively distorted Black Ice Terrace, are in full swing trying to capture the coalition's movements.
But this time, the Six Nations seem to be playing for real. All the cities within 100 miles of Hangu Pass were under martial law, and any team with less than 10 people would be examined in rounds, except for the people familiar to the local garrison and the huge number of caravans. Even the secret spies that Qin had already arranged could not pass on the news through the usual means. For a while, Qin's control over the six states of Shandong was suppressed to the lowest level.
Having lost its "eyes" and "ears", Qin's intelligence services began to take risks, but what they gained was bloody casualty figures and ominous information. What kind of mystery is the 300,000 Six-Nation Alliance Army selling, whether it is really in Anyi, Qin State knows nothing about this.
The defenders of Hangu Pass could not stand the daily provocations of the Six-Nation Alliance, and asked the King of Qin for permission to lead his troops into battle, but the cautious King Qin refused. Bai Qi also thinks like this, if the Six-Nation Alliance is really dormant and waiting for himself to give himself a fatal blow when he is careless, it will be more than worth the loss. The current Qin State cannot tolerate failure. Once it fails, the confidence that Qin State has rebuilt with great difficulty will be washed away again!
Perhaps, Anyi is indeed a disguise. But it is more likely that the Six Nations waited quietly not far from Hangu Pass, waiting to encircle and annihilate the army sent by their own side, and even take the opportunity to seize the pass.
One day and two days, Qin can wait patiently. Ten days and half a month, Qin Guo still barely had some confidence. But now that it has been twenty days, the Six-Nation Alliance still seems to be holding its ground, and the Qin State is a little uneasy. So. The envoy of war came to Xianyang again and informed the king of Qin of the wishes of the defenders of Hangu Pass, an army of 30,000 men, from generals to small soldiers. Ask the King of Qin to promise that he can test the Six Nations Alliance!
Therefore, today, the king of Qin summoned his ministers to discuss the matter, and this eloquent letter asking for war was once again handed over by Bai Qi.
King Qin's brows furrowed deeply, if it was usual. He would only be happy to see such a letter of war, but now, King Qin would only feel a little bored when he looked at the letter of war.
Throwing away the letter of seeking war at will, King Qin said in a tired tone: "Ladies and gentlemen, the guards of Hangu Pass are going to fight again, do you think the widow should agree?" β
Ministers, you look at me, I look at you, and they are no longer silent. This time, the secrecy work of the six countries is too good! King Qin is another person who will be retribution! If it's right, it's fine, but if it's wrong, it's punished by King Qin. That's really too unjust for yourself!
The King of Qin spoke first and said, "Wu Anjun, you said that our Great Qin is a good creation!" In this uncertain situation, do you think the widow should agree to the request of General Hanya? β
Bai Qi groaned slightly, and said secretly: "Your Majesty, you said that the situation is unclear, and no matter how the minister answers, it is risky!" The war ministers on the front line are not clear, if the ministers are on the front line, they can naturally quickly decide what shape it is. What should be done! Now, the minister didn't know how to answer. What a bitter comparison! β
complained in his heart, but his mouth was very respectful, and he said: "The minister thinks that the guard should send out all the scouts and find out the situation within a radius of thirty miles!" In such a situation, send an army to speed in the direction of Anyi. If you are surrounded by coalition forces, retreat quickly! In this way, the strength of the coalition army can be mobilized, so that I can check the specific situation in Daqin! β
This is a panacea, whether it is possible to mobilize the coalition forces and mobilize the appropriate number of coalition troops. This is the embodiment of a general's command ability. Too much is too dangerous, and less is not effective. This degree needs to be pondered by the Hanya guard.
King Qin nodded, but in his heart he was hesitating whether to send Bai Qi to take over the defenders of Hangu Pass. After all, Hangu Pass is facing Anyi, and if Anyi's 300,000 allied troops are really there, I'm afraid that only Bai Qi can have tens of thousands of troops and return safely!
"Ministers, what do you think?" Sighing in his heart, the king of Qin, who lacked talents, turned his gaze to the ministers.
Qunchen, look at me, I look at you, the first thought that flashed in my heart was that Wu Anjun Bai Qi, the first person in the military, was built like this, and he was not in charge of the military, what else could he say-of course he agreed. So, a loud and neat voice sounded in the main hall, and the ministers shouted: "The ministers seconded the proposal!" β
King Qin nodded, unable to tell whether he was satisfied or said that he knew. "Prime Minister, you are my Great Qin Ding Seagod Needle! This time, the Six-Nation Alliance is acting so strangely, and our Great Qin can't afford to lose too much, what do you think? β
Wei Ran looked at King Qin and said solemnly: "Return to the king!" The minister dared to ask, dare to ask the king, what is the purpose of the alliance of the six countries in Anyi? β
"Purpose?" King Qin was stunned, wasn't the purpose of the Six-Nation Alliance just to confuse the Qin State and make his Great Qin panic? As the saying goes, it's not death that is scary, it's waiting for death. Waiting is the most anxious! The Six Kingdoms can afford to wait, but the Qin State can't afford to wait!
Wei Ran didn't intend to let King Qin answer his questions, and immediately asked himself in a deep voice and replied: "The minister thinks that the six kingdoms of Shandong are either bluffing or waiting for the rabbit!" β
"Whoever bluffs must have a plan! I am afraid that the Six Kingdoms of Shandong want to attract the main force of our Qin State to the front line of Hangu Pass, and they may make a detour to Shangjun or even Nanyang to attack our Qin State behind their backs! Don't forget, the king, how did our Great Qin's Nanyang be lost! β
King Qin nodded, this is a possibility. With the lessons of the past, Qin really can't rule out that the six countries of Shandong want to fish in troubled waters and take advantage of Qin!
"Those who are waiting for the rabbit show that the six countries of Shandong originally wanted us to have a false impression of Daqin, making us think that they were bluffing. In fact, it is lurking in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to move! β
Bai Qi also sighed when he heard this, this was the reason why Qin Guo was in a dilemma at the moment. Both strategies have their own advantages and disadvantages! The state of Qin must take the risk of trying to verify its authenticity. Success is naturally a great joy, and failure is inevitably a pain in the flesh.
"But", Wei Ran's tone changed, and he said with a smile: "No matter how the six countries of Shandong hide their intentions, there will always be a moment when they show their feet. As long as our Qin State is strictly defended, the Six Kingdoms of Shandong will not see our chance to be fooled, and they will naturally fall apart. The six countries of Shandong will either withdraw from the army, or they will have a real confrontation with our Great Qin! β
"What does the prime minister mean is to ignore the tactics of the Hangu Pass guards and continue to patiently wait for the appearance of the army of the Six Kingdoms in Shandong?" King Qin asked suspiciously.
"Exactly!" Wei Ran's answer was crisp and neat!
King Qin's reaction was very fast, his frowning brows were also relaxed, and he turned to ask Wu Anjun Bai Qi in the audience with interest: "Wu Anjun, if the 300,000 troops of the Six Kingdoms of Shandong are not in Hedong County, how many troops do you need to take Hedong?" The widow said that the victory is all the way to the ground, and it will be won within a month! β
Bai Qi immediately understood King Qin's idea. If the Six Kingdoms of Shandong really came to such a bluff, then the Qin State would not mind climbing up the pole and storming Hedong. The so-called siege of Wei to save Zhao, aren't you Shandong Six Kingdoms eyeing our Great Qin's Guannai? All right! Then our Great Qin will attack your henchmen directly along the east of the river!
After quickly estimating the possible strength of Wei in Hedong County and the choice of attack direction, Bai Qi quickly reported a number and said: "Regardless of casualties, give Chen 100,000 troops, which is enough to crush the Wei army in Hedong County!" β
King Qin smiled with satisfaction, turned his head to Prime Minister Wei Ran and said, "Prime Minister, it seems that the widow has to agree to the idea of the Hangu Guard!" β
After speaking, King Qin's tone changed, and he said to Lang Zhongling in the audience with a stern expression: "Draft!" Linghan Valley will lead 8,000 troops to reconnoiter Hedong County. When encountering the Six-Nation Alliance, you must not fall in love with the war. 1. QiΔ to ensure their own strength first! β
"Whoa!" Lang Zhongling nodded solemnly.
The ministers looked at the confident King of Qin, and they all showed thoughtful expressions. It seems that although King Qin is old, he still likes to control and take the initiative! This court meeting is proof of this.
Qin State, Yaoguan.
The 30,000-strong army led by Wang Jian marched for only one day and arrived at the pass. Coupled with the original army of 20,000, Wang Jian had an army of 50,000. Wang Jian is convinced that with this combat power in his hands, he can make a great contribution. Of course, the premise is that the Shandong Six-Nation Coalition does not come to attack itself with all its might.
At the request of Wang Jian, the preparations for the battle at YiqiΔ in Yaoguan were built in accordance with the requirements of the 300,000 allied troops of the Six Kingdoms. The five-foot high walls are enough to scare off many thieves who are not capable of doing their bestβand if the enemy commander is more timid, it is not an exaggeration to call them thieves.
Over the years, everyone has gradually become accustomed to this young and excessively general! Don't look at Wang Jian is only twenty-five years old, but his prestige is enough to suppress more than a dozen lieutenants and lieutenants under him. On the first day of his arrival, a lieutenant crashed into the muzzle of his gun, prevaricating and confronting the commander. For such a stunned young man, Wang Jian was not polite at all, beheaded, and the punishment of showing the public for three days allowed everyone to see the cold-blooded side hidden under his gentle smile.
Wang Jian can't tolerate his own failure, he knows better than anyone else what a rare qualification this is. Although it is unlikely that the Six-Nation Alliance will invest too many troops in the pass, as long as they fight well, they will take the Wuguan and even guide the army. When the time comes, who will dare to underestimate themselves!
"Yaoguan is the key traffic pass from the Guanzhong Plain to the Nanyang Basin, and such a place is perfect for itself! The battle of Yaoguan will be my first step to becoming a famous general in the world! Certain! Wang Jian secretly swore.
(And one more!) (To be continued......)
