Han Wangran nodded and said, "The idea of the widow is to secretly contribute to assist the Wei State in occupying Hangu Pass. In this matter, we in South Korea should not make a big fuss. One is the loss of labor and money, and the loss of soldiers and generals. The two of them are big and windy, and they are afraid that they will be taboo by the six countries, and the widow doesn't want to come out of the six countries to attack South Korea! ”

"The king's words are very true! When our Korea takes Hanzhong, cut off the connection between Qin and Bashu, and Wei takes Hangu Pass, then Qin will be pinned down in Guanzhong by our Sanjin in the east, south, and north. In terms of the difficulty of a breakthrough, Zhao and Wei are the directions in which Qin has the best chance to break through. If we take Hangu Pass, even if it is handed over to Wei, it will cause the world to panic! Storm Kite agreed.

Li Mu also took the opportunity to say: "However, once Hanguguan and Hanzhong change hands, the pattern of the world will change greatly. I'm afraid the alliance between our three Jin will stop here. As soon as the momentum of the alliance decreased, the Qin State might unite with the Zhao State to attack Wei in the south. After all, according to the cleverness of the monarchs and ministers of the Qin State, the casualties in the storming of Hangu Pass were too great, and it was the best choice to go south from Shangjun to the east of the Luohe River! ”

"The widow talked to Wei Qing, the lieutenant of Yingchuan County, a few days ago. Wei Qing is from Xianyang and is familiar with the customs and customs of Guanzhong. He told the widow that one hundred and forty miles west of the Hangu Pass was a narrow passage, and its path was winding through the mountains, and it was as dangerous as a letter, and it was called the Hangu. The east end of Hangu is Hangu Pass, and the west end is Ningqin County (originally Wei State Yin Jin, Qin State was renamed Ningqin) is also suitable for establishing a pass. The widow was thinking that if the Qin State lost the Hangu Pass, it would definitely set up a pass in Ningqin County. ”

After hearing this, the storm kite smiled and said, "If this is the case, it will be a great thing for the Qin State!" Xinguan is closer to Xianyang and is convenient for supply. However, in this way, the Qin state could not maintain the offensive against Shandong. ”

Han Wangran secretly thought in his heart. According to the original history, the Han Gaozu Ning Qin changed its name to Huayin, and the Tongguan was built here at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and then the name of Hanguguan gradually disappeared in the long river of history. In the Warring States period, the Qin state in Guanzhong occupied the offensive, so the Hangu Pass, which was closer to Shandong, was naturally extremely important. Lost Hangu Pass. Qin's eastward advance will be difficult in every way. Tongguan is close to Xianyang, easy to supply, can resist the threat from the east, is a pure defensive function. It now seems that history has gradually changed completely.

"Captain Tyrant, the war in Hangu Pass will be handed over to you. The widow gave you an army of 50,000, and the first task was to alert the Qin army and prevent it from invading Sanchuan County; The second task is to find an opportunity to help the Wei army take Hangu Pass, but it must be done within its means. Do you understand? ”

"Your Majesty, if the Wei army shows signs of collapse, should the minister come to the rescue?" Storm Kite asked.

Han Wangran thought for a while and said: "According to the personality of King Wei, Hedong is in danger, and Daliang must send troops to rescue him as soon as possible." In this way, as long as Anyi is not lost, the Taiwei can watch the fire from the other side. The widow wants to see. How big will the appetite of the Qin people be! ”

"Got it!" Storm Kite nodded, indicating that he already knew what Han Wangran wanted.

State of Qin. Bai Zhaidi.

After crossing the river, the armies of Yan, Zhao and Qi advanced for only one day, and encountered a large number of Qin army scouts. Lian Po knew very well that this was a harbinger of the arrival of the main force of the Qin army. If you go further, you will definitely encounter the main force of the Qin army. When the enemy situation was unknown, Lian Po was unwilling to take risks, so he ordered the whole army to retreat ten miles back and camp. At the same time, hundreds of scouts were sent to search for traces of the main force of the Qin army in the opposite direction.

On the opposite side was Wu Anjun's army of white rising. The Six-Nation Alliance's plan to hide the sky and the sea succeeded in concealing the Qin army, but it was only there. It's just 300,000 enemy troops, Bai Qi thought secretly. Instead of fortifying along a large arc of Luoshui, Hangu Pass, and Yaoguan, it is better to wait for work near Xianyang. Wait for the scouts to inform themselves of the movements of the coalition forces, and then lead the army to surround it!

Just like now. After crossing the river, the Six-Nation Coalition had advanced only forty or fifty miles, and was blocked by himself, who knew their movements in advance. Anyway, the people, grain and grass along the river were transferred to the rear, and the Qin State actually did not lose anything. Instead, they got more rest than the coalition forces.

In Bai Qi's Chinese military tent, the five hundred lords of the scout battalion are reporting the latest military information to Bai Qi. A sneer appeared on Bai Qi's face after hearing this, "What? The number of enemy troops on the opposite side is less than 200,000? ”

"Yes, General! The subordinates dared to guarantee with the head of Xiang Shang, that there were absolutely no 200,000 troops of the Six-Nation Alliance on the opposite side! The Five Hundred Lord said with a solemn expression.

"Got it, keep investigating! Ben will know the enemy's movements! Go ahead! Bai Qi waved his hand and drove the five hundred lords out.

"Whoa!" Five hundred lords took the command and departed.

Adjutant General Yang Duanhe secretly glanced at Bai Qi's expression, and after finding that Bai Qi was as calm and calm as ever, he boldly said: "General! The enemy suddenly has more than 100,000 less, will he sneak attack the pass? ”

Bai Qi nodded and said in a deep voice: "It's possible!" But it is not excluded that these more than 100,000 troops will make a detour from the north to our back! ”

"Then we ......," Yang Duanhe stopped talking.

Bai Qi smiled and replied, "Don't forget, we have an army of 200,000 right now!" Whether these people from the Six Nations are showing weakness to the enemy or have already divided their troops to the pass, we will know if we try it! ”

Yan, Zhao and Qi Three Kingdoms Coalition Army Battalion, Chinese Military Tent.

Lian Po asked in a deep voice: "Are you sure you are not mistaken, it is the army led by Bai Qi himself?" ”

The scout, who fell to his knees, swallowed nervously, but said again: "General! Brothers can't be mistaken! On the other side is indeed an army of 200,000 led by Bai Qi! The brothers also fought with the Qin army scouts a few times, and lost some men and horses! ”

Lian Po nodded at this time, and instructed: "Give this general an eye on the Qin army!" From now on, there can be no less than a hundred scouts patrolling outside the camp at any given moment. Not only to the west and south, but also to the north and east of the camp! Let's go down! ”

"Whoa!" The scout cautiously exited the tent, which was a little tense.

"General Rong! Prime Minister Tian! The shape is not optimistic! Lian Po sighed.

Indeed, as Lian Po said, the shape shì is extremely unfavorable to the Yan, Zhao and Qi coalition forces! According to the original plan, the Triple Alliance army quickly moved south after crossing the river, assembled in Zhengxian, Yaxian, and Xiabu counties, and slowly drew it with its back to the river. Such an advantage is that the opposite bank is Hexi County of Zhao State, so you don't have to worry about the back road being cut off. But now, the main force of the Qin army appeared too suddenly, as if it was a trap deliberately set for the Three Kingdoms Alliance. The Triple Alliance suddenly fell into passivity.

Rong Yan frowned. The army of Bai Qi on the opposite side should be about 200,000, and if you simply compete in numbers, the Three Kingdoms Alliance will have less advantage. But the most critical problem is that the Qin State is fighting on its own, and there will be reinforcements. The Triple Alliance is fighting less and less. Qin Jun can fight to the death, but he is not willing to sacrifice himself to fulfill others.

"General Lian! The state of Qin poured out a third of its forces to attack us, judging by the worms. The Xianyang garrison must be empty! In this way, the alliance forces of Han, Wei, and Chu have a good chance! Worms build yì, stick to and wait for help, and don't have to go back to Luoshui. Rong Zhi Jian yì said.

"Hold on?" Lian Po weighed this building! On the surface, the Qin State came prepared, with an advantage in troops and supplies, and the best way out for the Three Kingdoms Alliance seemed to be to retreat to Shangjun. Anyway, there are Shangjun and the small half of Yanmen County in the hands of the Qin people, and their own side is not worried about fighting! But such a disadvantage will greatly damage the morale of the Six-Nation Alliance! And that's not going to go head-to-head yet! The coalition forces are about to flee without a fight!

"Shan also thinks that the more our coalition forces are at such a time, the more they can't retreat! Now that we have just set foot in the Qin realm, if the general retreats. Not only will our reputation be ruined, but the country will be humiliated! Tian Dan also echoed the words. He's just talking about things! Now, the soldiers and horses of the upper county of the Qin State must have known the news of their own crossing of the river. If the Qin army on the opposite side attacked halfway, their own side would definitely be crushed at the first touch. Rather than take such a risk, it is better to hold on and wait for help. As long as the situation can be opened up in the direction of the southern line, the situation will definitely change greatly! Don't look at Bai Qi's absolute upper hand now, this is only temporary!

Lian Po didn't think so, and his own question was just a test of the attitude of various countries. If the three countries cannot reach a unified agreement. Then there's really no way. Now, although the situation is a bit bad. But there is a turnaround in the end!

"General Rong! Prime Minister Tian! Ben thinks the same way, and the best thing to do now is to hold on and wait for the situation to change. The army carried enough food and grass for two months, so there was no need to worry about logistics. The three of us are here to have a good fight with Shiro! Let's see if it's the sword of the Qin State or the sword speed of our coalition army! Lian Po said excitedly.

Rong Yan and Tian Dan were in high spirits after hearing this, and now it is the Qin State that can't afford to lose. If you can defeat the 200,000 Qin army in front of you! The Qin State directly became one of the weakest countries in terms of national strength - the countdown.

Tian Dan was happy, but he thought of a strict question, and said with some anxiety: "General Lian! Now that the Qin State has discovered us. That would certainly be of interest to our remaining army of more than 100,000! If I were white, there would only be three guesses. The first is that the army is hiding behind us or trying to ambush us from a long distance, the second is that the army is concentrated in Hangu Pass, and the third is that the army runs to the pass! What Bai Qi was able to do. One of them should be to send a large army out of Guguan to test it! So, Hangu Pass ......"

Lian Po nodded and comforted: "I've also thought about this question!" But the Qin army in Hangu Pass was only 30,000, and the Wei army had 50,000 troops in Hedong! In terms of strength, Wei should be more than self-preservation! Don't worry! ”

Tian Dan nodded and stopped talking, but the uneasiness in his heart was even stronger. He vaguely felt that maybe this division of troops was a mistake. Although he wanted to take the opportunity to weaken the Zhao State and the Yan State, if the Wei State was in chaos first, it would be difficult to achieve this.

At the same time, the state of Qin, the pass.

The relationship between Yaoguan and Wuguan is like the relationship between Tongguan and Hanguguan. Since the loss of Wuguan, the Qin State has begun to carefully manage this last barrier in the pass, and now, it is as impregnable as an iron wall. The pass is located in front of the mountain range, leaning on the mountain in the back, and the terrain is precipitous. The Qin State had already made up its mind to let the Six-Nation Alliance, especially the Korean army, bleed their heads in this place.

The last rays of the setting sun fall on the head of the castle, reflecting the intoxicating golden yellow. In April, the vegetation grows luxuriantly, and the vigorous vitality is no longer displayed to the world all the time. It's picturesque, but no one is in the mood to appreciate it. At least, the tall figure standing at the head of the city didn't.

Wang Jian squinted his eyes slightly, and looked at the army that suddenly appeared more than ten miles outside the city with an expressionless face! The banners of the army are very mixed, but if you look closely, you can still see that the banners of Han, Wei, Chu, Qi, Zhao, and Yan are among them. There is no doubt that it is the Six-Nation Alliance, Wang Jian secretly thought in his heart.

Meng Yu, who was sitting in the command car, suddenly raised his right hand, and the herald, who had been observing him, immediately raised the flag and shouted: "The general has a life!" All the army stopped! ”

As they arrived, the slow and orderly pace of the coalition soldiers came to an abrupt halt, and the long line kicked up a huge cloud of dust. Like a yellow dragon, it instantly devoured the pass several miles away. Wang Jian frowned when he saw it, but he didn't pay attention to the dust coming to his face. I like the Qin army, but I don't like the enemy army. Originally, I thought that most of the Six-Nation Alliance was a rabble, but now it seems that my opinion needs to be withdrawn. At least. In the face of this large army in front of you, it needs to be retracted.

Meng Xi looked at some lonely and tall shadows in the distance, and knew that it should be Wang Qian, the main general of the Qin army. According to the information, the other party is the same age as himself, and he became famous at the same young age and suddenly occupied a high position. The same is promoted from the bottom of the ranks. Two equally proud people really have too much in common, but fate has set the first scene of their meeting on the battlefield!

"Go! Pass my orders! According to the original agreement, they set up camp separately! Meng Yu quickly looked away from the head of the city. Said to the Chinese officer on the side.

"Whoa!" The lieutenant officer apologized, and the general's order was quickly conveyed.

Wang Qian, who had been observing the city, soon found that the large and small hills ten miles outside the city were occupied by the flags of various countries, and the flags followed by the evening wind swaying wantonly, just like the six-nation alliance army under the city now!

"Is this yelling at me? It's boring! Wang Jian said to himself.

The adjutant general behind Wang Jian didn't think so, he knew that if the mountains were crowded with enemy troops, plus there was something invisible behind. The number of enemy troops should be more than two hundred thousand, at least. To know. The army of the six nations assembled this time was as much as 300,000. If all the brains come to the pass, then it's worth it!

The lieutenants behind Wang Jian also had this attitude, although they were not afraid of the enemy army like mountains and seas, but once the number of enemy troops was too large, they should sensibly ask Xianyang for help! After all, no one wants to be surprised. No one wants to prove their greatness by sacrifice when they have a chance to live!

Meng Yu looked at the shadow on the head of the city with some pride, and the banner was just a suspicious tactic. Presumably, soon, the pass side will know its true strength. However, for Meng Xuan. It doesn't matter if it's exposed. As early as a few days ago, the scouts who came out reported that the Qin army was heavily guarded at the pass, and even if he attacked secretly, he would not succeed! Therefore, Meng Xi had already decided in his heart that there was no other way but to attack.

I just want to give the other party a dismount. Thinking about the other party's calm expression on the surface, but actually a little worried, Meng Yu felt very happy in his heart.

"Go! Sent a person to the city of Yaoguan, and said that he was going to invite General Wang Jian to drink! Meng Xi thought about it, but decided to greet his opponent.

The herald was stunned, and although he did not know what he meant, he quickly passed on the order.

Wang Qian, who had not yet left the city, soon found that a cavalryman rushed over with a command flag. Wang Jian ordered people to repel the archers, and if one person and one horse forced his own archers to fire ten thousand arrows, it would be a joke to spread the word. The person who came must have conveyed the meaning of the other party's main general, so you might as well listen to it.

"Where is General Wang Qian?" The visitor stopped when he was a hundred paces from the city gate, but the first sentence of the exit was not very polite. It seems that he is a little unappreciative of the "gift" that Qin Jun did not release arrows.

The deputy general of the Qin army, Yingde, was angry and scolded: "Who is the rat generation, dare to call my general by his name!" Do you think my crossbow bolts are not good?! ”

The person who came was not afraid, and said loudly: "I am a pawn of the Shandong Six-Nation Alliance, and I am ordered by my general to invite General Wang Jian to drink!" How dare General Wang Qian? ”

In the face of the other party's obvious agitation, Wang Jian will certainly not be so lightly fooled. He said lightly: "I am Wang Qian!" Who is your general? Why do you hide your head and show your tail and dare not meet General Ben! ”

The person who came arched his hand, made a gesture, and said without changing his face: "I've seen General Wang!" My general is Lang Zhongling! Now, my general has prepared wine and food, and it is in a gazebo five miles away! If the general is interested, he may wish to go and have a drink with his humble position. My Xinzheng's wine is all good wine! Presumably the generals must have heard of it! ”

Wang Jian smiled and nodded, Xinzheng's wine is a good wine, but although the wine is a good wine, the banquet is not a good banquet! How could I say yes! So, Wang Jian replied lightly: "Meng Lang Zhongling came from afar, and I, Wang Qian, am the master here, so I should entertain you!" Go back and sue your general! Let's just say that Wang Jian understands his intentions. Although there is good wine in Korea, I also have good wine in Daqin! The guest is as good as the host, if Meng Lang Zhongling has the heart to drink with this general, it is better to come to my pass! Wang Jian must not get drunk with him! ”

"Hahahaha! Have the ability to come to us! We're here waiting! From the top of the city, there was the sound of Qin Jun's wanton laughter. Facing a powerful enemy army several times their own, the Qin people took this opportunity to vent the panic in their hearts! Qin Jun can't retreat this time! Because behind is Lantian and Xianyang!

The person who came arched his hand and said without humility or arrogance: "Since General Wang can't pull away, then my general can only express deep regret!" In this way, my general will bring 200,000 elite soldiers to the pass to drink with the general! I hope the general is still there at that time! I hope that at that time, I can still find the wine of Qin and drink it! ”

After speaking, without waiting for Wang Qian's response, the people who came quickly ran back to the camp in the rear!

"Archer!" The lieutenant general Yingde felt that he had been greatly insulted, and immediately ordered the archers to release their arrows!

Wang Jian stopped it again, looked carelessly at the enemy camp waiting for the fire in the distance, and said, "Deputy General Ying, don't worry! It's a long time to come! It's a long time to come! (To be continued......)
