Huguan City was a fortified city under the command of Lian Po, a famous general of the Zhao State, and had already defended countless onslaughts by the Qin army. But today, the situation in this fortified city does not look very good.

Bailishi, Wang Di, Qin Wu, and Xiang Yu, four famous generals with A-level strength, attacked the four gates of Huguan City respectively. The Qin State also has B-level famous generals such as Bai Yibing, Li Xin, Wang Ling, and Yu Xunze, and the Wu Army has B-level famous generals such as Xi Qishu, Yusuo, and Feng Zai, and the lineup of the Wu-Qin coalition army can be called a group of stars.

Lian Po can stand one city gate, but can't stand the other three city gates, Huguan City held on for two days, Lian Po in the rear, quickly rushed to support the rescue of 30,000 Zhao troops, broke through the siege and killed Huguan City.

However, as the price of breaking through, the 50,000 Zhao troops defending the city suffered 20,000 casualties, and the 30,000 Wei troops who rescued suffered 10,000 casualties. The Wu-Qin coalition army that besieged the city had a total of only 15,000 casualties, and it still retained its complete strength.

After the fall of Huguan City, Bailishi and Wang Yi continued to chase and defeat the fleeing Lian Po, while Qin Wu led his army to attack Changzhi City, where Zhao Hao was seated.

After getting the news that Huguan City had fallen and Qin Wu had led troops to attack, Zhao Hao had no choice but to abandon the city and flee, and the situation in Shangdang was completely biased to the side of the Wu-Qin coalition army.

"General Qin, the Wu army has always had a good cooperation with my Zhao State, in the past, when Qin General Meng Tian stormed the wild city where the general was sitting, it was my country's support to help the general tide over the crisis, why do you want to repay virtue with grievances now, and join forces with the enemy Qin Army to attack my Zhao State?"

After the fall of Huguan City and Changzhi City one after another, when he was camping on the way to continue the march, an envoy from Zhao State suddenly came to ask for a meeting, and said this to Qin Wu in the commander's tent.

"Zhao Guo's kindness to me Qin, he said that he will repay it, but Shangdang is the land given to me by Han Wang'an, and now that the Zhao army is entrenched on it, Qin will naturally expel you and others. If Zhao Jun was willing to give up the land of Shangdang, Qin would naturally order to stop the attack. ”

Facing the envoy of the Zhao State, Qin Wudao.

"In this case, Qin Guo is a tiger and wolf, and he conspires with it, for fear of being counterattacked, why not unite with my Zhao army, but retreat to the second best thing to cooperate with the enemy?"

The envoy of Zhao continued to ask.

"It's my choice who to work with, so you don't need to ask, please come back."

Qin Wu smiled and invited the envoy of Zhao State away.

The Qin State obviously also knew that the envoy of the Zhao State had come to Qin Wu, and Bailishi sent someone over to ask about the process of the conversation, and Qin Wu replied truthfully.

A few days later, the envoy of Zhao who was invited away went and returned.

"General Qin, General Lian Po of our army has sent a request to the king, hoping to sign an alliance with General Qin, our country's condition is that we recognize Shangdang as General Qin's territory, and the two sides will attack Qin together, and when Qin is expelled from Shangdang, our country will withdraw from the army and give Shangdang to the general."

The envoy of Zhao said.

"Chao Qin and Dusk Chu are not the work of wise men, I will not sign an alliance with Zhao State, please go back, envoy."

Without any intention of continuing to talk with the envoy of Zhao State, Qin Wu quickly invited the other party out.

After the alliance proposed by Zhao was rejected by Qin Wu, the cooperation between the two armies of Wu and Qin suddenly became closer again. At this time, Zhao Guo was also very helpless, losing troops and generals in the land of Shangdang, but he didn't get anything.

If they wanted to resist the Wu-Qin coalition, Zhao also had to seek partners, but the only ones closest to Shangdang were Wei, Chu, Han, Zheng, Wei, and Song.

Wei had just suffered a defeat in Korea, and his vitality was a little injured, and it was unlikely that he would send troops to fight again in a short time.

South Korea's current military strength has reached the point where it can barely maintain domestic law and order, and it has no troops to fight at all.

As for the state of Chu, this is somewhat probable, the state of Qin has always been the western power that the vassal states feared before, and the newly rising Qin Wu, who has risen like a comet, is also deeply feared by everyone, so the state of Zhao sent a request for an alliance to the state of Chu.

As for the three medium-sized vassal states of Zheng, Wei, and Song, Zheng was a vassal state of Chu, Wei was a vassal state of Wei, and Song was a neutral state that tended to be Qi.

If Wei does not fight, Wei will naturally have no reason to fight, Chu will fight, and Zheng will not have much troops in order to guard against the attack of the neighboring Song State.

In the end, Zhao issued an alliance against the tyrannical state of Qin and Qin Wu to the six kingdoms of Wei, Chu, Han, Zheng, Wei, and Song.

The envoys of Zhao rushed to the Six Kingdoms, but Wei did not respond immediately and waited for the overall situation.

After receiving Zhao Guo's invitation, Han Wangan and Xiong Fang were quite moved. Although Han Wangan promised the party to Qin Wu, this did not mean that he really hoped that the party would fall into Qin Wu's hands.

Moreover, Qin Wu united with Qin State, and the Zhao army that fought against the party fell into disarray, which made Han Wangan and Xiong Fang feel fear and unease, so after swaying for a while, Han and Chu agreed to Zhao's alliance invitation and crusaded against Qin Wu and Qin together.

The boss Chu Guo agreed to the alliance, and Zheng Guo naturally joined the anti-Qin coalition together.

The three countries here joined the anti-Qin coalition army, and the Wei state, which was watching the overall situation, no longer hesitated, and agreed to the alliance with his younger brother Weiguo and joined the coalition army.

After the establishment of the anti-Qin coalition army, Zhao immediately announced that it would send 300,000 troops, and Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, would go out as the commander of the Zhao army.

The state of Wei announced the dispatch of 200,000 troops, with Wei Wuji, the king of Xinling, as the commander of the Wei army.

The state of Chu announced that it would send 300,000 troops, with Xiong Fang, the son of the king of Chu Zhuang, as the commander, and Huang Xie, the son of the king of Chuzhuang, as the deputy commander.

Secondly, South Korea sent 20,000 troops, and Storm Kite served as the main general, and participating in the anti-Qin coalition army was purely a soy sauce. The defense of the country sent 50,000 troops, and the main general called for the state. Zheng Guo agreed to send 50,000 troops, with the doctor sacrificing his feet as the main general.

When the alliance swore an oath, the monarchs of the six countries saw that the allied army was so strong, so they took the destruction of the Qin State and the military army as their goal.

The establishment of the anti-Qin alliance, Qin Wu's military army did not have a fixed territory, and it could be regarded as a guerrilla force, so although it was a little stressful, it did not touch much.

And Qin Mugong, as the lord of the Western power, felt tremendous pressure this time.

After a period of silence brewed within the Qin State, Su Qin, Zhang Yi, Wei Ran, and Fan Sui rushed to the four kingdoms of Yan, Qi, Yue, and Wu respectively to persuade the four countries to join the anti-Zhao alliance and resist the six-nation alliance of the anti-Qin alliance.

But what shocked Qin Wu and Qin Mugong was that the plot of the vassal states fighting against the tyrannical Qin in history seemed to have been triggered.

Historically, although Qi was close to Qin, in the early stage, Qi and Qin, as two overlords in the east and west, were very hostile and jealous of each other.

Historically, the State of Qi once set off an anti-Qin coalition, which was also a six-nation army, but it was only six countries: Qi, Chu, Zhao, Wei, Han, and Yan.

And this time, in order to eliminate the strong enemy of Qin in one fell swoop and demonstrate the military prestige of his country, under the persuasion of Zhang Yi, instead of joining the anti-Zhao alliance, he joined the anti-Qin alliance and announced that he would send 300,000 troops, with the last of the four princes of the Warring States - Meng Weijun Tianwen as the main commander to crusade against the tyrannical Qin.

Song and Lu responded to the call of the bigwigs and jointly sent 100,000 troops, with Hua Yuan and Cao Mo as the main generals.

Wu was now facing off against Yue in the southeastern corner of the Zhou dynasty, so the two states did not join the anti-Qin alliance or the anti-Zhao alliance.

The Yan and Zhongshan kingdoms were horrified by the might of the anti-Qin coalition and chose to remain neutral.

As a result, because of the accession of Qi, the anti-Qin coalition army expanded to nine countries, the army expanded to 1.22 million people, and the external claim was 1.5 million troops.

For a time, the Zhou Dynasty was full of discussions about the anti-Qin alliance and the Wu-Qin alliance. Forced by the military situation of the anti-Qin alliance, Bai Qi, Bailishi, Wang Di, Meng Tian, Qin Wu and others had to withdraw their troops from Shangdang and withdraw to the back of Hangu Pass for defense.

At the end of July at the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, the vast fields outside the Hanguguan River began to pass through the army day and night.

Cavalry, chariots, and hoplites rumbled through the freshly harvested fields in formations.

Ox carts laden with heavy grain and grass creaked over from all the official avenues and field paths, and countless scouts and rangers shuttled between the fields like meteors.

The smoke and dust are filled, the flags are unfurled, the war horses are neighing, the horns are echoing, and the ground within a radius of four or five hundred miles is rumbling and heavy thunder rolling at night, and the smell of choking earth is wafting at night.

In the middle of the day, a continuous stream of various military camps were set up on the Sanchuan Plain.

This military camp is unprecedentedly vast, from the westernmost fortress where Lin Xiangru was not afraid of the king of Qin and protected the peace clan to return to Zhao, to the easternmost fortress where the eighteen princes were gathered in history, and Lu Bu fought against the heroes.

From the northernmost river to the southernmost Rushui, more than 300 miles from east to west, more than 400 miles from north to south, and a large number of military camps with flags of different colors and names are stationed in the places where soldiers must fight, such as the mountains and rivers of the pass fortress.

There are more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, overwhelming. With an army of 1,320,000, how great is the military might?

As soon as the letter came out of Guguan, but I saw that the mountains were all over the field, and the banner camp tents were stacked on top of each other, and it was difficult for ordinary military horses to fly even if they had wings.

There are too many troops, and the consumption of food is the biggest problem.

The consumption of 1.32 million troops, as the hosts, Wei, Han, and Zhao must not be able to bear it, so everyone proposed that Wei, Han, Zhao, and Chu pay the grain and grass first, and wait until after the war, Qi, Lu and other countries will repay.

However, the player knows the drawbacks of this method, and the failure of the first joint attack on Qin in history lies in the fact that the army is too consumed, the battle is protracted, and the vassal states that supply food are overwhelmed.

Therefore, with the joint efforts of the players of the nine countries, the commanders and generals of the anti-Qin coalition forces finally gave up the method of paying grain and grass in advance by the central vassal states, and each country brought its own grain and grass.
