Qin Wu and Gan Mao joined forces to repel the anti-Qin alliance's two-sided attack on Hangu Pass.

Lian Po over there launched a fierce offensive, attacking for two days in a row, with 40,000 or 50,000 casualties, but he got the news that the war was unfavorable over there and retreated to defend, and for a while Lian Po couldn't help frowning and stopped the offensive.

After killing only 150,000 of the 200,000 Chu troops on the Xiong side, and repulsing them, Qin Wu stayed behind to contain the Xiong side, while Gan Mao left Hangu Pass with 200,000 Qin troops and headed towards the hinterland of Qin, intending to flank Qi Huan Gong's 650,000 anti-Qin coalition forces with the 500,000 Qin troops of Qi Liji.

In this way, a full 700,000 troops were gathered in the hinterland of Qin, which was 50,000 more than the 650,000 people of the anti-Qin coalition army, although among these 700,000 people, there were 150,000 new soldiers, and there were nearly 100,000 elite soldiers in the anti-Qin coalition army, but this was the hinterland of Qin, and any situation in which Qin could turn the tide of the war could happen.

Duke Qi Huan did not dare to support it, so he issued an order as the leader of the alliance and transferred the main force of the 200,000 Wei army on the third road to continue to maintain superior forces.

After the third road blocking the battlefield drained the 200,000 troops of the Wei army, the third road suddenly left only 190,000 people from Korea, Zhongshan, Wei and Zheng.

"The rear of the anti-Qin coalition army is weakened."

After knowing the latest movements of the enemy, Qin Wudao.

"Lord, can we start acting now?"

Xi Qishu said with some excitement.

"The preparations are not yet complete, where is the time to act? There is an irreparable contradiction within the anti-Qin alliance, and this contradiction is like a time bomb, we must first detonate this bomb and weaken the anti-Qin alliance from within before we have a chance to jump out of this battlefield. ”

Qin Wudao.

"What does the lord mean about the contradiction between the Qi Kingdom and the Yan Kingdom?"

Feng went to the fast road.

"Not bad. Qi Huan Gong believed that the eleven-nation alliance of the anti-Qin alliance was more than enough to defeat the Qin state, so he moved the idea of using power for personal gain, wanting to take the opportunity to weaken the power of the Yan State, and even obtain the name of attacking the Yan State. Yan Guo must also know this, and it has always been convenient for Qin State to have no enemies, and this time it was also forced by Qi State to join the anti-Qin alliance. ”

"The same is true of Zhongshan Kingdom, Zhao State is their enemy, and the enemy's enemy is a friend, and it obviously doesn't make sense to help the enemy fight a friend, so Zhongshan Country can also instigate to join our anti-Zhao alliance."

Qin Wudao.

"Zhongshan and Yan are persuaded by me, when I leave, the Wu army is led by Xiang Yu, Feng Quji is the military advisor, and the army is to preserve its strength first."

Looking around at the generals in the tent, Qin Wudao.

"Yes!"

The generals in the tent responded in unison.

After discussing everything, Qin Wu Pegasus left Hangu Pass through the trail and entered the Wei State to the east, and then from the Wei State to the north to the Zhao State, and then to the northeast, into the Zhongshan State, where the land was completely wrapped in the Zhao State.

Zhongshan Guo can indeed be said to be a big problem for Zhao Guo. Because the territory of this country is all within the scope of Zhao State, from the map, it is just a small circle in a big circle, and Zhongshan Kingdom is like a tumor, existing in the territory of Zhao State. Therefore, it can be said that these two countries are complete mortal enemies, and Qin Wu is very sure to persuade Zhongshan to withdraw from the anti-Qin alliance.

After coming to Xianyu City, the capital of Zhongshan Kingdom, and reporting his identity outside the palace, after waiting for nearly an hour, Qin Wu finally met Zhongshan Henggong in the palace hall of Zhongshan Kingdom, before the civil and military officials.

"General Qin, the war in the Qin Kingdom is fierce, I don't know what you are doing in my Zhongshan Kingdom at this time?"

Zhongshan Henggong asked knowingly.

"Heng Gong, Zhongshan and Zhao are old enemies, Qin and Zhao are old enemies, you know, the enemy of the enemy is a friend, now Heng Gong joined the anti-Qin alliance, is to help the enemy fight his own friend, how can there be such a reason?"

"Moreover, the Qin State was defeated by the anti-Qin alliance, and the Zhongshan State and the Qin State were separated by the three kingdoms of Zhao, Wei, and Han, and there was no land at all, and the Zhao State was close to the Qin State, and it was the main vanguard of the attack on Qin, and it was bound to get a large area of land after the war and expand its strength."

After this war, even if the Qin State does not destroy the country, it must be a huge loss of strength, and many agreements have been signed with the countries to lose power and humiliate the country, and there will be no more strength to send troops within ten years. Without the Qin State to contain the main force of the Zhao army, and the powerful Zhao State has become more powerful, once the Qin State is defeated, the Zhongshan State will not be destroyed by the Zhao State. ”

Qin Wu didn't bother to argue with him, directly stated the interests and disadvantages, and left the right to think to Zhongshan Henggong.

General Qin's words are reasonable. It's just that the current strength of the eleven countries of the anti-Qin alliance is too strong. Although the current situation seems to be that the two sides cannot hold out, and the difference in strength is not absolute, the Qin state has done its best, and the vassal states still have spare strength in order to save the consumption of military rations, and once the battle drags into the attrition stage, the winner must be the anti-Qin alliance. Our country is only a small country, and if we withdraw from the alliance halfway through, it will cause public anger and will inevitably be besieged by many countries. ”

After pondering for a while, Zhongshan Henggong shook his head and said.

"Duke Qi Huan served as the leader of the anti-Qin alliance halfway, his motives were not pure, as soon as he joined the alliance, he killed the general Liwei for no reason, and his heart of coveting the Yan country was known to the world. In this war, the Yan army will definitely be ordered to carry out the mission of death, consume the strength of the Yan army, and wait for the Qi country to swallow Yan after the destruction of Qin. ”

"And the state of Qi is far away from the state of Qin, and even if the state of Qin is defeated, it will not be able to get land. In order to win over the Qi army to destroy Qin together, all countries will definitely stand by and watch the order of the Duke of Qi Huan to send the Yan army to death. The Duke of Qi Huan is still like this, and the Zhao army of the anti-Qin coalition army will also coerce the Zhongshan army to carry out some orders that must die, and when the Zhongshan State loses these 70,000 troops on the battlefield of the Qin State, the national strength must be weak, and it only needs the king of Zhao to send the general Li Mu to destroy Zhongshan, why do you need all countries to attack? ”

Looking at Zhongshan Henggong sitting on the throne, a chuckle appeared on the corner of Qin Wu's mouth.

"Standing on the sidelines is absolute death, but standing up and resisting can win a glimmer of life!"

Looking at Heng Gong with an indifferent expression, Qin Wu said slowly.

After Qin Wu finished speaking, the hall was as silent as death. Zhongshan Henggong's eyes flickered, obviously Qin Wu said that the sore spot, the establishment of the anti-Qin alliance had indeed forced Zhongshan to the edge of the cliff.

Duke Qi Huan can use his power for personal gain, and blatantly murder Yan generals, so naturally he will not let go of the 150,000 new and old weak soldiers of Yan State. Duke Qi Huan can do this, and King Zhao Wuling, who is a raccoon dog, will definitely not let go of the opportunity, and will instruct Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng, Lian Po, and Zhao Hao to frame the Zhongshan Army together.

As Qin Wu said, the enemy of the enemy is a friend, could it be that after he killed this friend and expressed his loyalty, Zhao Guo would still let go of Zhongshan Guo's henchman?

Taking a deep breath, his eyes no longer flickered, and Zhongshan Henggong had already made up his mind.

"General Qin, I don't know if you have a more detailed plan?"

After making up his mind, Zhongshan Henggong's words were no longer as indifferent as just now, but became eager.

"Henggong, please find a quiet place, you and I will discuss it again."

Qin Wu said with a smile.

Obviously, this has happened.

After persuading Yan Guo to join the anti-Zhao alliance and Qin Wu's plan to lead the Wu army to open up a second battlefield was revealed, King Heng was like taking a reassuring pill.

With the help of the Yan army and the Wu army to attract firepower, even if Zhongshan withdrew from the anti-Qin alliance, it would not be possible to encounter the siege of various countries, and once this biggest worry was removed, King Heng would have nothing to fear.

After persuading King Heng of Zhongshan, Qin Wu went to the Yan Kingdom, which was adjacent to the territory of Zhongshan Kingdom.

King Yan Zhao is easier to convince than King Heng of Zhongshan, the reason why he confessed his guilt in the face of Qi Huangong's questioning before was the trend of the times, and in order to protect the country, King Yan Zhao had to sacrifice his personal face.

And now the opportunity for revenge has arrived, and if this opportunity is missed, King Yan Zhao will not only have no hope of revenge, but also may be wiped out by the 150,000 Yan troops harmed by Qi Huan, and the Yan Kingdom will also face the disaster of annihilation.

Compared with King Heng of Zhongshan, King Yan Zhao had no choice at all, and Qin Wu did not waste much of his tongue at all, so he persuaded King Yan Zhao to agree to withdraw from the anti-Qin alliance, and temporarily concealed this fact, so that when the time came, he would give the enemy a strong blow.

After completing the task of persuasion, King Yan Zhao sent Le Yi, a famous general of Yan State, to lead the Yan army, and King Heng of Zhongshan sent Wuqiu Jiu to lead the Zhongshan army, so as to facilitate the action of obeying Qin Wu's orders.

Taking Le Yi and Wuqiu Gu back to Qin State, Qin Wu first went back to the Wu army's station, and found that Xiang Yu and Feng Quji had been hiding in the mountains and forests on both sides of Hangu Pass with the Wu army in the past few days, and did not fight with the coalition army, Qin Wu took Le Yi and Wuqiu Gu to Xianyang on a fast horse.

rushed to Xianyang to meet Qin Mugong, before Qin had been discussing the matter of persuading Yan and Zhongshan to withdraw from the anti-Qin alliance, but I didn't expect that this side was still discussing, Qin Wu immediately completed the matter, not only persuaded the other party to withdraw from the anti-Qin alliance, but also let them join the camp of Qin.

Qin Wu's move really surprised and delighted Qin Mugong, and he saw the hope of victory.

Secretly took a good hand of cards, and after seeing hope, Qin Mugong was ready to stud.

100,000 forbidden troops secretly left Xianyang and rushed to the main battlefield of Kunshan. At the same time, he led 500,000 Qin troops and put on a posture of wanting to fight a decisive battle with the anti-Qin coalition forces.

For a time, the Qin army and the anti-Qin coalition entered the silence before the storm.

"The Qin army was on the defensive before, and took the initiative to actively seek battle, could there be any conspiracy in this?"

Seeing the changes in the Qin army in the past few days, in the tent of the main force of the anti-Qin coalition army, Meng Weijun Tianwen said with some doubts.

"The Qin soldiers are brave, it may be that they have gained an advantage in the battles in the previous few days, so it is not surprising that the soldiers are arrogant and take the initiative to fight. The coalition army sent a huge number of troops, the grain transportation route was too long, the Hangu mountain road was inconvenient for carriages and horses, and it was inconvenient to carry out a war of attrition. ”

Xiang Yandao, the commander of the 100,000 Chu army.

"Well, prepare for war with the main force of the Qin army!"

After listening to the generals of the countries in the account expressing their opinions and analyzing the battle situation, Qi Huangong, who was sitting in the first place, took the case and said.
