At first, the sky was dark, and after the lightning and thunder, the torrential rain began to roar down, and the sky and the earth became white. The wind carried the rain and gathered into countless whips, which whipped the ground fiercely. The sound of the wind, the rain, the thunder, nature is full of catharsis. Occasionally, a nearby thunderbolt fell, and the animals shrank in fear and trembled even more.

This weather has been going on for three days in Kannai, and at first, everyone thought it was just a summer shower. No one expected that the rain would be endless. Even if the rain stops for an hour or two, it will soon continue again.

The originally gentle Luoshui became extremely turbulent, and the water naturally became deeper and deeper, gradually submerging the land on both sides. The camp tent of the combined forces of Yan, Zhao and Qi is only a mile away from Luoshui. Making a fire to cook has become a complete luxury, and the armies of the four kingdoms of Qin, Zhao, Yan, and Qi, who are still facing each other, have to gnaw on dry food and chat to get by.

Perhaps due to the heavy rain, the Qin army has never expressed any intention of coming out to attack the camp of the Three Kingdoms Alliance. Even though their strength was 160,000, far exceeding the 90,000 of Yan, Zhao, and Qi, the Qin army was holding its ground. In terms of matter, since receiving the edict of King Qin, Bai Qi wanted to storm the camp of Yan Zhao Qi. But the "luck" of the three kingdoms of Yan, Zhao and Qi was better, and the heavy rain made Bai Qi change his mind. Fire and water are ruthless, maybe you can take advantage of it a little.

The news of the loss of Hangu Pass was tightly sealed by Bai Qi. Now, the entire army is only known to Bai Qi. Even his lieutenant did not know such important information. Therefore, apart from blocking the route of the Yan, Zhao, and Qi armies to break through the encirclement step by step, the Qin army did not have any impatience or uneasiness.

In the military tent of the coalition army, Lian Po, Tian Dan, and Rong Yu were happily discussing the war situation. However, there is a bit of truth in this happy ingredient, and it needs to be carefully distinguished.

"General Lian! The state of Wei has captured Hangu Pass. I think it won't take long for the Qin State to succumb! Rong said with a smile.

"Yes! The last time Kuang Zhang of my Qi State led the allied forces of Han, Wei, and Qi to take Hangu Pass, he was so frightened that Qin State ceded the land and begged for mercy! This time, our six countries have joined forces, where is there room for the Qin State to turn around! Tian Dan rarely agreed.

Lian Po nodded and said, "This time, our six countries jointly attacked Qin, and the Qin State has lost more than 100,000 troops!" If the fight continues, the vitality of the Qin State will be greatly damaged! There is no capital to fight with our six countries in Shandong! But. Ben Jiang hopes that Qin Guo will have more backbone, so that we can also be proud of Xianyang! ”

Rong Yan subconsciously looked at Tian Dan's eyes, and said lightly: "Hangu is in his hand, and his prestige in Xianyang is like probing for things!" Now we are besieged by the Qin army, we must not advance or retreat, if we need to break the siege, we need a large army to enter the Hangu and go to Xianyang! It is very unwise to work so hard and lose money! King Qin and Wei Ran are both well-known people, and they are afraid that they will disappoint the general. ”

This sentence reached Lian Po's heart. The customs are precarious. Hangu Pass changed hands, and his own army contained the main force of the Qin army, so it seems that the Qin army's strategic initiative has been lost, and most of it is necessary to make peace. If you want to be in Xianyang, you can only wait for the next opportunity.

Seeing that Lian Po smiled and admitted, Tian Dan asked tentatively: "If the Qin State seeks peace, how does the general think the interests of all countries should be traded-off?" ”

Tian Dan was the prime minister of the Qi State. At this time, King Qi must have known the news of Hangu Pass's change of hands. Maybe he even sent an envoy to contact him. Lian Po is the first person in the Zhao military, and King Zhao is afraid that he has revealed some information to Lian Po. Before the Qin State formally sued for peace, Tian Dan wanted to test the bottom line of the Zhao State so that he could manipulate it for profit!

Looking at Tian Dan's calm expression and Rong Yan's interested look, Lian Po only groaned slightly and said, "This time all the countries in the Qin attack have made their efforts. Naturally, there will be no favoritism. According to the king's will, the six kingdoms worked together to force Qin to cede land. As for how the land should be distributed, and if the countries dislike the enclave and what kind of land exchange should be followed, I believe that my king and your monarchs will be able to negotiate a result that everyone will be happy with! ”

Tian Dan and Rong Yi looked at each other for a word. They all heard the meaning of Lian Po's words. If Qin ceded land, the distribution of this land was not decided by Zhao itself, in other words, Zhao would not accept Qin's unilateral peace. As for the criteria for distribution, I am afraid that the six countries will have to fight at that time.

For Yan and Qi, there were 20,000 casualties this time, although it didn't hurt the vitality, but it was also a pain! If not a single piece of land was allocated because the number of Qin troops killed and wounded by the two countries was too small, then the Yan State and the Qi State would have to carefully consider their attitude towards the Zhao State.

Speaking carefully, this time the Qin and Zhao countries did not make much effort. As soon as he crossed Luoshui, he was blocked by the 200,000 army of Bai Qi, and Lian Po should be very aggrieved. In terms of Yaoguan, Chu is playing soy sauce, and the real main force is South Korea and Wei, and in the direction of Hangu Pass, it is also South Korea and Wei that contribute the most.

But Tian Dan and Rong Yi also knew that the land that Qin State could cede was only Shang County, and as for Hanzhong County, they would not consider it, even if they ceded it, they would give Chu State at most one Xun County. Zhao Guo has already surrounded Shangjun Tuantuan, so in fact, the biggest benefit should be Zhao Guo.

However, Tian Dan and Rong Yan didn't mind this. There is no absolute fairness between countries at all, as long as you can protect your own interests!

"So good! Presumably, we will also succeed in the next expedition against Qin! Hahaha! Rong Yan and Tian Dan looked at each other and smiled, and said to Lian Po.

Lian Po nodded, the Qin State had almost been weakened. The next opponent, I don't know if the king chooses Qi or Qi? Qi Guo thought that he was on the side of Zhao State, but Zhao State did not regard Qi State as an ally!

"The king has already sent the national captain Zhao Hao to lead 50,000 troops to support us and others! According to the itinerary, there should be about seven or eight days to arrive. Lian Po first told him the good news.

"It's a thousand two hundred miles from Handan to Luoshui, it seems that Zhao Guo is going to march in a hurry to support!" Tian Dan sighed in his heart.

"It seems that the Zhao army has done everything possible, even if the Qin army is unwilling to surrender, these 50,000 troops are enough to make the Yan Zhao Qi army invincible. The more time passed, the lower the morale of the Qin army became. This is Rong Yan's emotion.

"Two generals, when the rain passes, if the sky clears, if Bai Qi retreats or does not move. Naturally, it proves that the Qin army intends to surrender! But if we continue to attack us, we must be ready to counterattack the Qin army. As soon as Handan's 50,000 troops arrived, the Qin army was only 20,000 more than us. And due to the loss of Hangu Pass, the morale of the Qin army must be low. Winning will not be easy, but it will be enough to maintain the stalemate. At that time, the Wei army feinted at Hangu Pass, and did not worry about the Qin State not yielding! ”

"That's a good plan!" Tian Dan agreed.

"That's as it should be!" Rong Worm responded.

Lian Po smiled. said: "Since this is the case, then it is decided." This rain will not stop for three to five days! I have a lot of private wine, so I took it out to entertain the two! Don't worry, it's just a drink, and you won't make a mistake! ”

After speaking, without waiting for Tian Dan and Rong Yan's reaction, he said to the guards beside him: "Go, bring General Ben's good wine!" ”

"So, it's bothering General Lian!" Tian Dan said helplessly.

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey! Ha ha! Rong Worm, who has a bold personality, reacted differently.

Hanzhong County. Twenty miles north of Baozhong.

Zhang Wei looked around with a horrified face. But the surroundings are too simple and too quiet. He was in the big tent and no one had greeted him since he had been thrown in. This made Zhang Wei feel that he was an outcast in this world.

Although he has a lieutenant in his name, he is neither a county lieutenant nor a metropolitan lieutenant, he is just a small chief. This is still because of the military exploits that I have picked up in recent years. It stands to reason that he should have more opportunities to make meritorious contributions as a scout. But perhaps because he cherished his life too much, he habitually went to the palace every time he fought. When I went out to investigate, I also watched and listened to all directions. If you are not careful, you will run away.

This time, the county guard Yingqu sent himself to Xianyang with his subordinates to report the news. It is required to rest the horses and people, and be sure to arrive in Xianyang as soon as possible. One of his fellow villagers who was on an errand in the county guard house told him that the 100,000 Korean army had already reached Chenggu. Most of the messages I want to send are this!

Unexpectedly, the letter delivery that I thought was extremely safe would actually encounter a "thief army". Zhang Wei shuddered when he thought that his subordinates would be shot into hedgehogs in the blink of an eye! It was so sudden that I didn't know what was going on. An arrow without an arrow knocked itself unconscious. The last scene he saw before he fainted was the last Qin soldier falling from his horse.

Who is the "army of thieves" and why are they attacking themselves? You must know that the place where you were attacked is less than twenty miles away from Baozhong! Is the "army of thieves" so rampant that Cheng dù? Zhang Wei had heard someone say before that in the depths of the Qinling Mountains in Hanzhong County, there were "savages" who had not yet been naturalized. There are also people who are dissatisfied with the Qin State. They specialized in attacking lone people or small groups of Qin troops. I thought it was a joke, but I didn't expect it to be true.

"What are they going to do with themselves? It can't be eaten raw, right? Or take it to feed bears and wolves? Thinking about such a scene, Zhang Wei was even more scared.

At this moment, a figure broke in. This made Zhang Wei, who was in a state of nervous alert, almost cry out, and after seeing that the other party was not a barbarian with bare chests and breasts, but a neatly dressed soldier, Zhang Wei breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart. "It's good that you're not a savage! At least they won't be hungry and will eat themselves! ”

Han Teng didn't know what was going on in the mind of the captive in front of him, but judging by his expression and demeanor, he should be afraid of himself. It's good to be afraid, as long as people have something to fear, they will always say what they want to hear.

Han Teng deliberately touched the saber on his waist, and said with some playfulness: "The army is about to go on an expedition, and there is still a lack of sacrificial flags, are you willing to sacrifice it?" ”

"The general spares his life! The general spares his life! As soon as he heard that the other party wanted to take his own sacrificial flag, Zhang Wei panicked and hurriedly said: "There is an eighty-year-old mother on the villain, and there is a child in swaddling clothes, please ask the general to be merciful and spare my life!" When I go back, I will definitely set up a shrine for the general, and I will be a cow and a horse in the next life! ”

Han Teng only felt a chill in his heart, a big man cried and begged for mercy in front of him, such a scene was too "beautiful", I didn't dare to look at it. Is it Qin Jun who was captured by his subordinates? I have the impression that Qin Jun is a hot-blooded man, and he shouldn't be so afraid of death! What's more, I haven't used the torture yet! The other party begged for mercy, which gave Han Teng no chance to put on a show.

However, this is also a peace of mind. Han Teng asked dryly: "It's okay if I don't kill you, you have to prove that you are useful to me!" Only useful people can live, and useless waste should be taken to sacrifice the flag! ”

Zhang Wei immediately said gratefully: "General! I worked! I'm useful! The pious expression was enough to move the Buddhas of the heavens.

"So what's the use of telling you?" Han Teng said in a good time.

"Uh..."Hearing Han Teng ask, Zhang Wei was a little dumbfounded. What's the use of yourself? Does being good at escaping count? Does equestrian good count? Well, none of this should be what the other party wants to hear. Right. They are messengers, and what they want should be information about themselves. Hey, what about intelligence? As soon as Zhang Wei touched his chest, the information had already been lost. It is very likely that it was taken by the subordinates of the person in front of him, and he didn't have any information to take his own life! For a moment, Zhang Wei only felt that his strength had been hollowed out.

Han Teng really couldn't stand it anymore. It is true that he has information in his hand, but in the recital sent by the county guard of Hanzhong County to the King of Qin, it is only mentioned that a large army has been sent to reinforce it, how many troops have been sent, and how to counterattack in the future, but it is not said. I came here myself to see if the chief would know more. After all, he had just come out of Baozhong, and he was about to attack Baozhong, even if he didn't know the specific movements of Nanzheng's army. You can also reveal the situation in the testimonial.

"Let's talk about your situation first!" Han Teng prompted.

"Back to the general! The small one is named Zhang Wei, a native of Liyang, Guanzhong, and serves as the head of the scout battalion. The family has 30 acres of fertile land, and there are five people with a total of five mothers, wives and children......"

Han Teng immediately stopped Zhang Wei's words, and said unhappily: "It's enough to say this!" I'll ask you a few questions, and if you have a lie, I'll throw you out and feed the wolves!" Do you hear that? ”

Zhang Wei's face turned green, it is better to feed the wolf than to take it to the sacrificial flag! The sacrificial flag is a painful sword. It's better than being eaten alive by a pack of wolves. Swallowing hard, Zhang Wei replied, "Listen... Heard it! ”

"You're from Nanzheng, but you're here to deliver a message?" Han Teng stared at Zhang Wei and said.

"Yes!"

"What message?" Han Teng asked.

"There were 100,000 Korean troops in Chenggu. The Yingjun guard asked me to rush to Xianyang to ask for reinforcements! ”

"How many reinforcements did Yingqu send to Chenggu? Who is in charge? Han Teng continued to ask.

"Win the county guard sent an army of 20,000, and the leader of the troops is the county lieutenant Ren Yu!"

"How many troops does Nan Zheng still have now?" Han Teng didn't give Zhang Wei a moment to hesitate, and asked.

"And five thousand!"

"How many more troops are there?"

"Seven thousand!"

"You're lying! Yingqu clearly ordered Baozhong to quickly reinforce Chenggu! Where will there be an army of seven thousand! Han Teng pretended to be angry.

"What a small wrong! I heard that the county keeper did have this idea! But it wasn't me who sent the message! Even if you want to send reinforcements, it can't be so fast! Zhang Wei replied very wrongly. Seeing that the other party drew his sword and wanted to cut himself, Zhang Wei felt that his heart was about to jump out.

"Are the 7,000 troops of Baozhong defending the city during the day?" Han Teng's tone was slightly relaxed and asked.

"Nope! On weekdays, only 3,000 troops are stationed at the head of the city! ”

"How many troops are there at the North Gate?"

"When the little one came out just now. Only a thousand! ”

"Where are the rest of the four thousand troops?"

"In the south of the city! There are barracks there! ”

"Good! I'll believe you for once! Later, if you find out that you are lying, you will still have a chance to feed the wolf! Han Teng said threateningly.

Zhang Wei was relieved when he heard that the other party believed in him, and immediately received a new threat, only to feel a little depressed. I hope that the Qin army in praise will not play to death. If they have strengthened their garrison because of the attack on Chenggu. Then he really died unjustly.

Wait a minute, they said that they would sacrifice their own flags, and they also inquired about the situation in the praise. Could it be that their goal is to win?! There are enough 7,000 elite Qin troops stationed there! They are not as greedy for life and afraid of death as they are! It doesn't matter if they take the initiative to die, the important thing is that they will be dragged to the funeral!

"General! Who are you? Zhang Wei said with luck.

If you want to avoid becoming a funeral object, you can only convince them to give up attacking the fortified city of Baozhong! If you can gain their trust, you may be able to get the information back and rush to Xianyang. I hope they are not the undying enemies of the Qin State! Otherwise, no matter how fanciful he is, there is no way to do it.

Han Teng smiled and said a little proudly, "What? Can't hear my Xinzheng accent? ”

"Ahh Are you Han Jun? Zhang Wei said in shock. Impossible! How so?! Han Jun is obviously in Chenggu! There are 100,000 Korean troops there! How could there still be a South Korean army popping up in the north of Baozhong! It's not scientific! If this is a small detachment of the South Korean army, Lieutenant Zhang can understand it! But listening to the tone of the other party, he wants to attack the praise of the garrison of the 7,000 army! There must be thousands or even more than 10,000 troops!

"Congratulations! That's right! But alas, there are no rewards! Han Teng said with a smile.

At this time, Zhang Wei didn't think about the reward at all, but still said suspiciously: "General! There are definitely 7,000 troops in the praise! Even if you flew here, there wouldn't be many of them! Wouldn't that be too risky?! ”

Regarding Zhang Wei's thoughts, Han Teng guessed clearly. The other side is just worried that they will kill people and vent their anger after their defeat or be accidentally injured by friendly soldiers. However, Han Teng is a trustworthy person, and he just said that as long as the other party confesses honestly, he will spare his life! Anyway, he said so much, and he lost the information, even if he returned to Xianyang, it would be a capital crime! It's just a small chief. King Qin will never be gracious because of this!

"You don't need to worry about taking risks or not! Do you think that I came here with troops on a trek of mountains and rivers just to send me to death? Rest assured! To my army, it's just a matter of probing for something! Our goal is to win the entire Hanzhong County! If anyone stops it, I will block and kill people, and the Buddha will block and kill the Buddha! When you take Nan Zheng, you will definitely be free! Han Teng looked like he was swearing.

Zhang Wei wanted to cry without tears! What an ambition! I'm afraid I won't have to go to Xianyang again! (To be continued......)
