The news of Li Xin's defeat soon reached Xianyang, and Mrs. Huayang was furious and immediately sent her cronies to Yingcheng to rebuke Li Xin.

In the mansion of the general of Yingcheng, Li Xin knelt in front of the envoy, trembling, ashamed and ashamed, and after the envoy finished reprimanding, Li Xin slammed his head on the ground and cried: "The minister has the holy hope of the queen mother, and the crime deserves death." But begging the Queen Mother to give the last general another chance to make meritorious contributions, the ministers will step on Gusu and sword Wu Zixu in their hands to repay the Queen Mother's grace. After speaking, he kowtowed and wept. Seeing this, the envoy put away the silk book, stepped forward and stretched out his hand to help Li Xin and said: "General Li does not need to blame himself too much, although the Queen Mother was very angry this time, she still placed high hopes on General Li, and before leaving, she specially told her subordinates to comfort the general, hoping that the general can regroup and wipe out the southern thieves." Li Xin kept kowtowing and thanking him, and at the same time gave the envoy a large box of gold, silver and jewelry, and the envoy accepted it with a smile after a slight excuse.

After sending off the envoy, Li Xin stepped up his urging of the Qin troops from all walks of life to assemble quickly, and within a few days, all the Qin troops from all walks of life had arrived. I saw that the suburbs of Yingcheng were full of flags, people and horses were boiling, and the Qin army, which had more than 500,000 neat troops, was mighty and mighty, and the company camp was dozens of miles, and the scene was extremely spectacular.

Looking at this 500,000 elite division, Li Xin's confidence surged with pride, and the haze caused by the failure of the day before yesterday was swept away, and at this time he was the high-spirited and young hero Li Xin, of course, he was still the young and vigorous Li Xin who was eager for quick success.

Li Xin led the Qin army to kill the generals with murderous vigour, and everywhere he went, he didn't leave a single inch of grass, and all of them were killed, burned, and robbed. Li Xin learned the lessons of the last defeat and pursued the defeated enemy relentlessly, killing them all at any cost.

Wu Zixu changed his strategy and decided to quickly gather his troops and gather inside and outside Gusu City, preparing to concentrate his forces for a hard-to-head battle with the Qin army.

Outside the city of Gusu, there were clouds and nearly a million troops on both sides of the war, and the swords were tense. As soon as the order was given, thousands of horses suddenly gathered and the crowd was crowded. The sound of shouting and groaning were intertwined, like a ghost crying wolf, and the sky was falling apart. The dirt was soaked in crimson blood, and the stream outside the city was already blood-red, and the corpses had cut off the stream, forming nests of wriggling gel.

Both sides fought from noon until dusk, each suffering heavy casualties, and finally the army was overwhelmed and all retreated into the city. Li Xin was about to lead his troops to pursue, only to see arrows raining down on the city, and the Qin troops in the front row fell one after another, coupled with the fierce battle for half a day, the Qin army was already exhausted, and had no intention of fighting.

That night, Wu Zixu was holding spirits on the high platform of the General's Mansion in the city, and hundreds of daredevils stood below. It turned out that Wu Zixu expected that the Qin army was not on a stable foothold, and had just experienced a fierce battle, so his precautions would inevitably be relaxed, and he was ready to take advantage of the night to send a death squad to raid the Qin camp and burn the Qin army's grain and grass.

The Qin army's tent was brightly lit, and Li Xin was discussing with the generals about the siege of the city tomorrow. A subordinate general said: "In today's battle, more than half of the slippery army has been lost, and tomorrow we will not dare to go out of the city again to meet the battle, and the remaining Chinese army will not be able to hold out, and if our army attacks strongly, I am afraid that it will suffer heavy losses." The last general thought that it was better to besiege them without attacking, trapping them alive, and then Gusu City would naturally be broken without attacking. ”

"No, our army has defeated the Chinese army today, and the morale is strong, we should take advantage of the situation to continue the onslaught, and we will definitely be able to break the city quickly."

There was chaos in the tent suddenly, and the generals were talking about it, and they couldn't agree with each other. Suddenly, the sergeant outside the tent made an urgent report: "General Qiyu, the Chinese army is taking advantage of the night to sneak attack our army's granary." When Li Xin heard this, he hurriedly rushed out of the military tent, only to see a fire in the direction of the granary, as bright as the morning glow, and shouted: "The big thing is not good." Li Xin hurriedly led his troops to gallop to the granary, and when he arrived at the granary, he saw that the grain and grass had all turned to ashes, leaving only a black patch. Li Xindun beat his chest and feet, looked up to the sky and sighed, suddenly felt sweetness in his throat, spit blood in his mouth, dizziness, and fell unconscious. The generals hurriedly helped Li Xin up and brought him back to the tent for medical treatment and recuperation.

In the early morning of the next day, Li Xin slowly woke up and was just about to get up, but he heard an urgent report from outside the tent, and when someone came into the account, he kowtowed and cried: "General, on the way to transport grain, our army encountered a surprise attack by the Chinese army led by Fan Li, and the grain, grass and weapons were completely destroyed."

Li Xin's mouth suddenly spurted blood, almost fainted, the military doctor hurriedly rubbed his chest for him, and poured a bowl of thick ginseng soup into it, Li Xin came to his senses, and hurriedly called someone to summon the generals to discuss.

When the generals heard the report, they immediately panicked, and the six gods had no master. Li Xin gasped and said softly: "Our army's food and grass have been cut off, and I am afraid that things will change, please don't make a noise, and go back to pack up your own troops and horses and retreat quietly." The generals took orders and dispersed. Li Xin immediately collapsed on the bed, staring blankly into the sky without blinking for a long time.
