The army of 100,000 Qin State, under the leadership of Lang Zhong Ling Gong Qi, rushed to Hangu Pass at a speed of 100 miles a day. The Wei army stationed at Hangu Pass had already received an order from Daliang to open and let the Qin army pass guò. Not only Hangu Pass, but also Shaanxi and Jiao Liangyi under the control of Wei did not stop the Qin army that crossed the border, and even provided a small amount of grain and grass.

The guards in various parts of Wei were very calm on the surface, but in fact they were like great enemies. Although the Qin State swore an oath, it was only a transit, and it had absolutely no intention of offending the Wei State. The king of Wei still secretly asked the Wei troops everywhere to raise the alert to the highest level. Fortunately, the Qin army really kept its promise, and did not stop at all under the rule of Wei, and went straight to Luoyang.

However, the people were dumbfounded, and the 100,000 army of the Qin State stretched for dozens of miles, and there was no edge in sight. Everyone thought that they were in trouble, but they didn't expect it to be a false alarm. Such a stimulating experience, many people can't stand it. After secretly getting lucky, many people were very confused. Isn't Wei clearly an enemy of Qin? How could it seem that it had colluded in advance, and the Wei State let the Qin army pass so lightly? Some people who think more long-term silently lament for South Korea in their hearts that the goal of the Qin army is Luoyang. The 100,000 Qin army launched a thunderous blow, can South Korea stop it?

Mikawa-gun, Michi. As the western barrier of Luoyang and the bridgehead to prevent the Qin State from invading the Central Plains after breaking through the Hangu Pass, Korea stationed more than 5,000 elites here. Although in the subconscious minds of many people, the possibility of the Qin army breaking through the Hangu Pass is almost zero, and the Wei State is friendly with Korea, so there is no need to maintain an army of 5,000 people for a long time, but the King of Han is trying his best to override public opinion and run Michi into a fortress. For this reason, he did not hesitate to dismiss several derelict guards on the spot in order to alert the local defenders.

As it turned out, King Han's wise decision played an important role at this time. When the Qin army tried to launch a night attack. The South Korean scouts, who were waiting outside the city every night, gave timely warnings, and the emergency plan for Michi was immediately activated, and thousands of South Korean troops quickly waited for the city to take over the city defenses. Although the Qin army that entered the city early tried their best to create chaos, they were quickly suppressed by the Han army assembled in the city. Those Qin army workers who hadn't had time to jump out had no choice but to lurk and wait for the opportunity. But. They soon discovered that their efforts were in vain. Under the command of the Michi County Commander, the South Korean army launched a detailed investigation the next day. All those who did not belong to the local residents of Michi, even those who came to visit their relatives, were all taken under centralized supervision. The Qin army, who had lost their freedom of action, naturally lost their due role and could only wait for the end of this war like outsiders.

The overnight assault was ineffective, and the Duke did not delay. After leaving 10,000 troops to besiege Michi City, he led the remaining 90,000 troops to Xin'an. In Xin'an, the Qin army achieved the first result of the eastern Hangu Pass, annihilating 2,000 Han troops who were caught off guard. There was no time to celebrate the victory in front of him, and the Duke of Lu rushed to the real goal - Luoyang, Mianchi and Xin'an were just stumbling blocks along the way, and Luoyang was the real feast in the heart of the Duke of Qi. The Qin army must race against time. You can't go away from the two big fish of King Han and King Zhao.

It seems that the heavens intended to complete the Qin State this time, when the army of the Duke of Qi arrived in Luoyang. I just saw countless Zhao troops entering Luoyang City in a hurry, and the Han army in Luoyang City was like a great enemy, commanding Qingzhuang to continuously strengthen the city defense. Gong Qi took a breath a little, knowing that King Han and King Zhao had already entered the palace, and what he needed to do now was to conquer Luoyang as much as possible. This is a consideration of fast and slow. It had to be at the speed at which South Korean reinforcements arrived.

Yique, Yiyang, and Yewang within a hundred miles of Luoyang are all stationed with heavy troops, and the news of his own army attacking, King Han must have sent an envoy to Xinzheng, and Xinzheng is less than three hundred miles away from Luoyang. The only thing the Qin army could use was South Korea's reaction time, and it would take time to contact the Korean army in various places to assemble. It takes time to prepare grain and grass, and if South Korea is fast enough, the first batch of reinforcements will arrive within five days, and it will only be a matter of ten days to gather enough troops of 100,000 troops to fight against them. Therefore, if the plan is to be foolproof, the Qin army must capture Luoyang within seven days, otherwise the best opportunity will be missed, and the further back, the lower the possible odds. The Duke was deeply aware of this.

Because of the hurry, the Qin army did not prepare enough siege equipment, and seeing that it was impossible to directly attack Luoyang City, Duke Qi's heart calmed down. The first is to divide the troops, divide the 90,000 army in his hand into four parts, and besiege the four gates of Luoyang. This naturally dispersed the strength advantage of the Qin army, and through Guò's earlier intelligence, the Duke of Lu learned that the Han and Zhao coalition forces in the city should have 30,000 people, and if the Han and Zhao coalition forces identified a direction to break through, then the Qin army's strength in this direction would be at a disadvantage. After all, the Duke of Qi only sent 20,000 troops to garrison each city gate, and the remaining 10,000 were reserved for mobile troops.

However, Duke Qi was eager for the Han and Zhao coalition forces to break through, because the terrain of Luoyang determined that even if the Han and Zhao coalition forces broke through, they would not be able to run far, but would lose the cover of the city wall. To the north of Luoyang is the river (Yellow River), and to the south and east are Luoshui and Yishui. Breaking through to the west is almost the only option for the coalition forces to break through, which is not only known to Korea and Zhao, but also to Qin. Since Qin Guo knew, he would naturally make complete preparations.

Moreover, because Luoyang is surrounded by water on three sides, if South Korea wants to send reinforcements, it will face the risk of Qin waiting for work and attacking halfway. Unless the army conscripted by South Korea has a decisive numerical advantage, or if the army is mobilized from the direction of Yiyang, the immediate crisis cannot be broken. This bought Qin Jun enough time.

The second thing the Duke did was to set up watchtowers in the four directions of east, west, north and south to observe the movement of the Han and Zhao coalition forces in the city. In this way, any abnormal movement of the Han and Zhao coalition forces could not be hidden from the eyes of the Qin army. Regardless of whether the Han and Zhao coalition forces break through or not, the Qin army can adapt to the situation.

The news of the siege of Luoyang began to spread at a flying speed, and at this time, it was no longer the time to think about how the Qin army would break through the layers of defense lines, but to consider how to save the two people who were under siege, King Han and King Zhao. If the 30,000 troops in the city could be exchanged for the peace of the kings of Han and Zhao, Han and Zhao would definitely agree without blinking an eye. However, the Qin army took great risks and provoked wars in Taiyuan, Hanzhong, and Nanyang, mobilizing more than 400,000 troops, and finally launched a thunderous blow with 100,000 elite soldiers. No one can see that the Qin State will not give up this time. Either capture the king of Han and the king of Zhao. Forced Han and Zhao to agree to Qin's conditions, or kill the king of Han and Zhao. To create chaos, the Qin State wrote their endings for the King of Han and the King of Zhao at the very beginning.

During the two days of making siege equipment, the Duke of Qi was not idle. On the one hand, he sent people under the city to plot against the soldiers of the Han and Zhao armies. It was announced that there were those who killed the king of Han and the king of Zhao, sealed the marquis of the pass, and rewarded ten thousand gold. On the other hand, they kept shooting arrows tied with paper into the city, coaxing the defenders that Qin had been connected with Yan, Qi, Chu, and Wei, and now Handan was being attacked by Qi and Yan, and Xinzheng was being attacked by Wei and Chu.

In order to ensure his own back, Duke Qi also sent people to take down several small towns around Luoyang, among them. There is Henan. The Korean army in Yiyang posed the greatest threat to the Qin army and was also the most convenient to rescue Luoyang. If the Yiyang defenders received Xinzheng's order to rescue Luoyang, they would definitely go east along the Luoshui River, and Henan was the only place for Yiyang's reinforcements.

This made Zhou Tianzi suffer, and not long after Zhou Tianzi returned to Henan from Luoyang, he was driven out by the Qin army again. The thousands of soldiers under Zhou Tianzi did not have the courage to resist the wolf-like Qin army, after the five thousand Qin troops arrived in Henan. surrendered directly and sacrificed Henan City. But. Fortunately, the Qin army did not embarrass Zhou Tianzi and his party, Zhou Tianzi was desperate, and felt that although the world was big, South Korea could take him in, so he took dozens of followers and rushed to Xinzheng. The kings of Han and Zhao were besieged in Luoyang. Zhou Tianzi naturally knew that now Luoyang was a land of four battles within a radius of 100 miles, and no matter how bold Zhou Tianzi was, he would not dare to stay for a long time. According to the strength of South Korea, Luoyang should be able to hold out until the arrival of reinforcements from South Korea! Zhou Tianzi only hopes. After arriving in Xinzheng, South Korean Prime Minister Zhang Ping can take care of himself. After repelling the Qin army, Zhou Tianzi could return to the old capital of Henan.

Wei State, Great Liang.

On the one hand, Wei was treacherous, pitted Korea and Zhao, and made Qin easily surround Luoyang, and his conscience was a little uneasy. On the other hand, Wei is not as decisive as Qin, and is worried that it will fall short at the most critical moment.

Fortunately, the Qin State was indeed angry, and after receiving the news that the Qin State had successfully surrounded Luoyang and that the King of Zhao and the King of Han had trapped Luoyang, the King of Wei breathed a sigh of relief. Now that the wood has been completed and the Qin State has achieved the miraculous effect it wants, the King of Wei released the grounded Xinling Jun to discuss how to deal with the aftermath. After all, Xin Lingjun is the prime minister of Wei and the younger brother of King Wei, and in many things, King Wei still needs to rely on Xin Lingjun.

Seeing that King Wei was flatteringly toasting and apologizing, Xin Lingjun couldn't laugh or cry, but he still said with a straight face: "The king is a little anxious!" ”

King Wei nodded again and again, of course he was anxious, and he wanted to destroy the two behemoths in front of him in one battle, which was also the biggest obstacle to the rise of Wei - Korea and Zhao. But in this era, isn't it just starving the timid and supporting the bold? The most critical step of this plan - the siege of Luoyang has been successful, and Xinlingjun's biggest worry has been eliminated, and the next thing is to make King Han and King Zhao hate Luoyang in one go.

"The widow knows what's wrong! However, the wood has been completed, and the Qin army has surrounded Luoyang. We in Wei can't regret it if we want to! At the moment, we can only hope that Luoyang will be conquered by the Qin army, so that Korea and Zhao will inevitably be chaotic, and our Wei will also plot against the Central Plains! King Wei said with some flattery.

Xinling Jun let out a long sigh and agreed with King Wei's statement. Today's Wei and Qin are both prosperous, and if Qin finally fails, then Wei will definitely have no good end. Wei could only fully assist Qin to succeed, and then use the news that Qin's army was involved in Guannei and Taiyuan to seize enough benefits to facilitate the follow-up confrontation with Qin. After all, once Korea and Zhao declined, Wei and Qin would have no common interests, and for the sake of interests, they could only fight.

"Qin State's strategy has now succeeded most of it, and there must be no deviation in this Luoyang. Just in case, let's send troops to help! Xin Lingjun said helplessly.

King Wei was stunned for a moment, a little worried that Qin Guo's black would eat black, and said, "Wouldn't this offend Korea and Zhao Guo?" ”

Only then did Xin Lingjun hear that King Wei still had the idea that neither of them would be offended. wants to wait for the dust to settle in Luoyang before revealing his sharp minions. Qin succeeded, and Wei naturally immediately sent troops to attack Korea. When Qin failed, Wei pretended not to know anything and belatedly went to support Korea.

"Wang Shang has promised to make alliances with South Korea and Zhao before. Now that the kings of Han and Zhao are in trouble, if our Wei State does not send troops, won't it offend South Korea and Zhao State as well? What's more, the minister always felt that if the Qin State was defeated, he would ask for Hangu Pass. To use this to cover up for our Wei State is actually ill-intentioned. If the Qin State is in trouble, after getting the Hangu Pass, it will be rumored that we, the Wei State, are also involved in this matter. When our Wei State is attacked by Korea and Zhao State, and Qin State plots against our Hedong again, what can we do in Wei State? ”

Cai Ze swore in Daliang that if the Qin army could not conquer Luoyang in time, it would have to retreat. In order to prevent Wei from being suspicious of Korea and Zhao, Qin hoped to ask for Hangu Pass. Pretending that the Wei army was unaware for a while, they were attacked by the Qin State and occupied the Hangu Pass, so as to round the Qin State raid. King Wei was carried away by the interests at that time, and actually agreed.

King Wei thought about it for a while, and quickly accepted Xinlingjun's suggestion. On the one hand, sending troops can stifle Qin's bad intentions and supervise Qin's fulfillment of the agreement, and on the other hand, it can increase the chances of victory and let Wei win the game. Wait for Wei to press the army on Xinzheng. Even if South Korea wants to rescue Luoyang, it must weigh it carefully. South Korea wants to gather more troops. It doesn't take much time. Come to think of it, the timing is too good. South Korea sent an additional 130,000 troops to Taiyuan, and another 100,000 troops were involved in Hanzhong and Nanyang, half of South Korea's troops could not move, and most of the remaining elites were busy farming, so it was too late to increase the army.

"How many troops should we send?" King Wei asked.

Xinlingjun thought about it. At present, Wei and Chu have stopped fighting, and it will take at least half a month for Yingdu, the capital of Chu, to respond from receiving the news of the siege of Luoyang. At least for half a month, Wei should not worry about the threat from the south. The distance from Daliang to Xinzheng is only one hundred and fifty miles, and the Wei army can rush to Xinzheng within two days. Soldiers are fast. The Wei army could pour out of the nest and force Korea not to dare to mobilize the army of Yingchuan. Without the reinforcements from Yingchuan, it would be even more difficult for the Han and Zhao coalition forces to hold Luoyang, and the pressure on the Qin army would be reduced a lot, and they only needed to guard against reinforcements from the direction of Shangdang and Sanchuan. However, Wei also had tens of thousands of troops in Hedong, which could not be wasted. Now that we have decided to attack South Korea, we need to make a big move. Otherwise, if you fight a snake, you will not die, but you will suffer from it!

Thinking of this, Xin Lingjun said: "The king might as well mobilize an army of 100,000 to attack Xinzheng and contain the defenders of Yingchuan. Then he ordered the soldiers and horses of Hedong to move south to contain the Korean army in Sanchuan County. In this way, nothing goes wrong! As long as Qin Jun is willing to die, within half a month, Luoyang will change hands. ”

King Wei was a little distressed and dispatched so many troops at once, and said euphemistically: "This army in Hedong, there is no need to deploy it!" After all, if we contain the Han army in Sanchuan and Yingchuan counties, the pressure on the Qin State will be too small. After capturing Luoyang, if the Qin State goes back on its word, what will we use to check and balance? ”

Xin Lingjun nodded appreciatively and explained: "The Hedong army is going south, on the one hand, to contain the Han army in Sanchuan County, and on the other hand, it is also to deter the Qin State, so as not to play any tricks. The king can imagine that our Hedong army plus the defenders of Hanguguan, Shaanxi, and Jiaoyi are 60,000 or 70,000, and we not only cut off the back road of the Qin army, but also prevent the Qin State from investing too many troops in Hedong, and grab territory with our Wei State. ”

King Wei suddenly realized at this time, and laughed loudly: "The prime minister is thoughtful, and few people are taught!" ”

After the two highest decision-makers of the Wei State reached a unified opinion, the war machine of the Wei State was quickly set into action. The generals who sent troops were the generals who were not to be disgraced. Although Jin contempt privately thought that it was a bit unkind to fall into the well, he still accepted the appointment of the king of Wei. Soon, an army of 100,000 set off for Xinzheng. In order to cause unnecessary trouble and achieve strategic deception, the king of Wei specially sent an envoy to Xinzheng in advance to inform Korea that Wei learned that the king of Han and the king of Zhao were besieged in Luoyang, and decided to raise 100,000 troops to aid Korea, and asked Korea to take care of Yunyun.

But in private, Jin Contempt gathered more than 1,000 officers in the army to do their ideological work. Sue them for the determination of the King of Wei to attack Korea. In the face of the heavy rewards that the King of Wei moved out, especially those who took the lead in attacking Xinzheng, they were rewarded with a thousand gold; Those who took the lead in attacking the palace, were given the treatment of being crowned kings and rewarded with ten thousand gold, and the soldiers of the Wei army turned from doubt to madness. How about Korea being an ally of Wei before?! How about fighting side by side with the South Korean army?! In the face of huge interests, morality has become the most worthless thing, and everyone only knows that South Korea has become an excellent stepping stone to change its destiny and soar.

After learning that the Qin State had sent 100,000 troops to surround Luoyang, the King of Han and the King of Zhao were besieged in Luoyang, and the armies from all over Korea were constantly driving to Luoyang, and the news that Xinzheng was empty, the Wei army broke out with a strong war spirit! In order to maximize the morale of the Wei army, the king of Wei not only announced the reward for the first merit, but also announced that after the army invaded Xinzheng, there would be an hour to loot. As long as the soldiers get their hands on it, it's theirs! King Wei didn't believe that after making such a complete plan by himself, there was still a turnaround in South Korea!
