The plot to eat it was shattered like a bubble.

This spy war made Li Yuan truly feel the cruelty of the intelligence war for the first time, and in the face of the result of Zuihou, Li Yuan felt both relieved and regretted. Fortunately, there is Li Bi's careful Xianyang Order, otherwise, a trial of it will almost bring disaster to himself.

Come and don't be rude.

After Ying Yuman's funeral, Li Yuan immediately ordered Chen Ping to quickly set up a special intercropping team, focusing on infiltrating the areas occupied by Liu Bang, the king of the Han Dynasty, and selecting different personnel to perform different tasks according to the long-term, medium-term, and short-term intercropping tasks, so as to prevent the situation that one place in the Fu'an liquor store was exposed and the entire intercropping network was wiped out.

At this point, Li Yuan had to admit that the famous spy war TV series in later generations gave him a lot of inspiration, allowing him to improve and supplement Chen Ping's ideas.

Due to his outstanding performance in this counter-espionage war, Li Bi was promoted by Li Yuan to be an important member of the secret front in charge of this work, and the position he originally held in Xianyang Ling was concurrently held by Xin Sheng.

This spy war made Li Bi see another kind of interest in struggle, although the battle on this battlefield was not as happy as the battlefield, but it was more tortuous and thrilling.

This is what he likes, and it is what the Qin State needs now.

For this reason, Li Bi has no regrets.

――。

Chen Cangdao.

This mountain road trampled out by the Qiang people, on the first day of the first month of the third year of the Qin New Calendar, was surrounded by bursts of noise and human voices, and after spending a cold winter, Li Yuan officially began to attack Jihua in Hanzhong and Bashu.

In the past, the general of the Qin State Sima Coo-cut Shu, which was from Hanzhong to Bashu by taking the Golden Bull Road, and the roads of Hanzhong and Guanzhong were still dominated by the Bao Slope Road, and the southern end of the Bao Slope Road was still in the hands of Liu Bang. For this wooden plank road built on the cliff, Li Yuan did not have much interest in fighting for it.

From Chencang to Hanzhong, although this road is westerly, the distance is relatively far, but the terrain is relatively flat, as long as it is vigorously repaired, it can completely replace Baogu to become the main road connecting Qin and Hanzhong. Before, the reason why Chen Cangdao was abandoned was mainly because of the Qiang people's war, and now those Qiang people who opposed the Qin State have been frightened by Li Yuan and fled westward. The remaining Qiang people basically had no idea of resisting, and the situation around Chencang was stable, which was the most suitable time to advance south.

The mountains and forests are undulating.

The breeze of the mountains and wilderness blows the weeds on the cliff wall, and the morning sun in early spring sweeps over the tall treetops of the Qinling Mountains, sweeps over the thick and dense canopy, and finally sprinkles on the road that has not seen the sun for a long time.

Under the shouts of a group of Qin army generals and craftsmen, pieces of cold bluestone were melted by the mountain fire. Then it was poured directly with cold water, and so repeatedly burned and hammered, and finally the whole rock was cracked from the middle, and then it was beaten into fine stones. This project is very difficult for everyone involved in the construction of the road.

Feng Xuan was the pioneer in opening up the Chencang Road this time, and it was the main task of the vanguard of an army to open roads in the mountains and build bridges in the water. In the past, this article was just talk, and what the vanguard really had to do was to bravely meet the enemy and defeat all the main forces of the enemy army that came to attack. But this time, Feng Xuan really became the one who opened the way.

Li Yuan's requirement for Chencang Road was that the length of the road could be extended, but the road must be of such a condition that a horse-drawn carriage could pass, otherwise, relying on manpower to carry it on the shoulder, the connection between Hanzhong and Guanzhong would never be smooth.

While Feng Xuan was leading the army to build the road, a reinforcement of the Qin army had already crossed the mountains and marched towards the Fushui Valley in Hanzhong County, which was the force sent by Li Yuan to defend the Fushui Iron and Stone Mine.

It's March.

After more than two months of intense construction, Feng Xuanbu finally succeeded in raising the traffic standard of Chencang Road to a higher level after paying the price of a number of soldiers who unfortunately fell off the cliff and died.

March 11.

Under the personal command of Li Yuan, the 10,000 foot soldiers of the Qin State who had been recuperating for many days went south along the Chencang Road, and arrived at Nanzheng, an important town in the western part of Hanzhong County, through Daoshui and Fushui.

Hearing that a large number of Qin troops were killed, more than 1,000 local county soldiers left by the Han army in Nanzheng surrendered without a fight, and then, the Qin army marched eastward along the Han River all the way with lightning speed, and even broke five cities of Chenggu, Chuyang, Xunyang, and Baozhong, and the soldiers reached the west city where the county seat of Hanzhong County was located.

In the face of the aggressive offensive of the Qin army, Liu Bang, the king of the Han Dynasty, had no choice but to retreat this time, after abandoning the five cities in a row, the Han army stopped the retreat in Xicheng, and Liu Bang, who was not as good as before, personally led a group of Han generals to guard the city.

For Liu Bang, the importance of Xicheng is self-evident. As long as the county seat of Xicheng is still in the hands of the Han army, he, the king of Han, is justified, even if he loses more small cities, it is nothing, and once Xicheng is lost, then, once someone makes trouble, Liu Bang's name as the king of Han is likely to be deprived.

In this regard, Zhang Er is a living example. Soon after the unfortunate prince who lost in the infighting defected to Liu Bang, he was canceled by the overlord Xiang Yu because of the loss of all his fiefdoms and the lack of soldiers and generals in his hands, and King Changshan was immediately crowned on Zhong Liwu's head.

As far as the current strength is concerned, Li Yuan doesn't talk about him, this is an outlier, even if he knows the strength of the Qin army, Liu Bang has no way to measure what kind of combat power the Qin army will break out under Li Yuan's command.

In terms of all the princes, there is no doubt that the strength of the overlord Xiang Yu is the first, last year's Tiger Prison Pass, although Xiang Yu lost his troops and generals, but at least, on the surface, the Chu army did not suffer too much loss, and the subsequent series of military operations to consolidate Donghai County, Dongjun County, and Dangjun also made Xiang Yu's prestige go to a higher level.

Comparatively speaking, Liu Bang has been relatively quiet recently, which really can't blame him, the treasury has no food, no money in his hands, he has nothing to want, guarding a broken stall, Liu Bang can take advantage of the opportunity of Qin and Chu to compete for the South County of Han is already a great luck.

This time the Qin army went south to Hanzhong, Liu Bang couldn't react, and he tried to eat his reckless move, exposing Liu Bang's intercropping network under ambush for many years.

How to deal with the attack of the Qin army, Liu Bang and Zhang Liang and other ministers were puzzled, and they were also extraordinarily contradictory in their hearts, compared to the strength, the gap was too big, and the courage of the soldiers, the Han army saw the Qin army and couldn't help but bow their heads.

And more importantly, the Han State began a year ago, preparing to launch an offensive against Linjiang Wang Gongao in the area of Nanjun, compared with Hanzhong County, which is vast and sparsely populated and located in the remote area of the southwest, Linjiang County is densely swamped, but it is the former capital of the Chu State, Yingdu, this place has been operated by the Chu State for several generations, and the number of people, the scale of cultivation and other aspects are not much weaker than the Central Plains.

With the two counties of Linjiang and Nanyang, Liu Bang at least has the confidence to fight against Xiang Yu and Li Yuan, which is what he needs most at present.

Is Xicheng to defend or abandon?

In the midst of his uncertain thinking, Liu Bang, the king of the Han Dynasty, ushered in the biggest bitter hand on the road to hegemony - Li Yuan.

Inside the city.

Han Wangfu.

For several days in a row, the lights were bright, and all night long, Liu Bangqiang supported his sick body and summoned Zhang Liang, Cao Shen, Xiahou Ying and other Han army generals and strategists to discuss countermeasures.

"King Han, the army in the area of Ba County has been ordered to retreat to the Shangyong area, but the general Li Shang of Shu County wrote that he was unwilling to give up, and he was willing to lead an army to hold on to Shu until the King of Han counterattacked one day." Cao Shen's voice was low, and there was a hint of blood in his hoarse voice, which was a slight symptom of the body caused by continuous exhaustion.

The Han army lost cities in a row, and as the general of the Han army, Cao Shen had a lot of pressure on his shoulders, and what made him feel even more heavy pressure was that the opponent he faced this time was Li Yuan, who had made him suffer enough.

The road is narrow.

Cao Shen no longer had the heart to complain about God's injustice, and the news of Li Shang's reluctance to retreat made him feel a kind of sadness that was sluggish and cold.

Li Shiqi's death had a great impact on Li Shang.

The relationship between the uncle and nephew is very deep, and Li Shiqi is also the guide of Li Shang's defection to Liu Bang, and he died unexpectedly while lobbying Zhang Han.

For Li Shang, the Qin people are his enemies, and now, there is a chance to compete with the Qin people, how can he be willing to retreat from the fertile Shu County.

"Tell Li Shang that there will be a day when I, Liu Ji, will definitely recover the blood debt for Mr. Gao Yang, I promise-." Liu Bang snapped the case with hatred and said loudly.

"King Han, we have fought with Li Thief several times, but we have to give up because of the difficulty of fortifying the city, this time, it was replaced by Li Thief to attack Xicheng, why don't we fight back against the Qin people with the same perseverance, so as to boost the morale of the Han army." Zhang Liang's expression was gloomy, and there was a trace of indescribable madness in his eyes.

"King Han, what Mr. said is reasonable, if Xicheng is not guarded, how can he control the world?" Xiahou Ying nodded and admonished.

"King Han, war, war, war, even if you die in battle, you can't let Qin Gou easily get the city." The baby was also angry and shouted. Listening to what Xiahou Ying and Guan Ying said, the generals of the Han army who were holding back the fire in their stomachs were also excited.

"Okay, I have made up my mind to defend the West City and live and die with the city, please help me." Liu Bang stood up and shook it to the ground, and when he raised his head again, his eyes were bright and firm, and his eyes rekindled infinite fighting spirit. (To be continued.)
