Although the divine beasts do not want to meddle in the internal affairs of human beings, it does not mean that these divine beasts like to see a situation of misery. For these divine beasts, Zhang Jiashi has the idea of calming down the troubled times as soon as possible, and they also have the corresponding foundation, so they naturally don't care about doing Zhang Jiashi a small favor at the right time.

As for how to help with this favor, they can only hide their thoughts more.

After all, it's not a good thing for them to be too explicit in their support for a person.

As for Zhang Jiashi being sent to Buzhou Mountain this time, of course, what he gained was not only the support of the divine beasts, but also an opportunity for him to make up for his past regrets at any time.

The girl named Ying'er was entrusted by Candle Dragon to his side after Candle Dragon's many admonitions, or for Zhang Jiashi, more words like a threat from his father.

With such a result, Candle Dragon was actually very reluctant in his heart, but for him, the karma between him and Ying'er was probably over at such a time.

He didn't know if he would have the chance to meet his daughter again in the future, although with the ability of the candle dragon, if he wanted to meet Ying'er, it would be an easy matter.

However, Candle Dragon believes that instead of making himself more difficult to let go, it is better to simply just leave everything in the past into a memory for him to ponder.

And what surprised Zhang Jiashi was that after Zhang Jiashi and Ying'er were sent out of the range of Buzhou Mountain by the candle dragon, the time outside only passed for a few seconds.

This kind of thing is very unscientific for Zhang Jiashi, Zhang Jiashi will not understand, but he knows very well that since there are so many legendary divine beasts, what is more unscientific than this?

However, Zhang Jiashi had some doubts in his heart, that is, who was the person who regarded himself as his future father-in-law, and even did not hesitate to surrender his identity to "threaten" him.

And the blue wolf and the others didn't know either, Zhang Jiashi didn't know who most of the divine beasts between them were.

If the blue wolf and the others and the candle dragon knew about such a situation, I am afraid they would also be very surprised.

And the expression of the candle dragon will be even more exciting. Because he didn't think of one thing, that is, he even entrusted his beloved daughter to Zhang Jiashi, and this bastard didn't even know the identity of his father-in-law, so what else could you let him think???

......

And after Zhang Jiashi left Buzhou Mountain, he appeared in front of Li Ping again, that is, a few seconds later.

But for them, Zhang Jiashi seemed to disappear out of thin air for a while, and then suddenly appeared in front of them......

It's just that Li Ping and Yu Yong quickly knew a place that they could directly find very strange, that is, who was the not-so-beautiful girl who gently leaned on Zhang Jiashi.

They themselves can definitely swear to the sky that this girl will never exist until Zhang Jiashi disappears.

But when they saw such a scene, they just glanced at each other, and then quickly regained their calm. Because for them, Zhang Jiashi's situation is not something that their subordinates can manage.

However, Zhang Jiashi also confirmed a saying circulated among their Liaodong Army, that is, whenever Zhang Jiashi went on an expedition, he would always bring a woman to his home.

They themselves did not take such a situation to heart, after all, in their thoughts, Zhang Jiashi led the army from the mountains to raid the Kanto region this time, and did not encounter any women.

However, now, they can only think that such a statement is indeed very reasonable......

And for Zhang Jiashi, in the face of this gentle woman in his arms, he can only firm up his thoughts, that is, this time he will not let go easily again.

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

Zhang Jiashi, who led the army from the mountains in the west and returned to Guanzhong along the original road, naturally did not know a thing.

That is, he broke through Ao Cang, and now he really provoked Xiang Yu.

The coalition forces stationed outside Hangu Pass, led by the Chu army, began to launch an almost non-stop assault on Hangu Pass two days ago.

Hundreds of ladder trucks, the wreckage of the rushing vehicles, the boarding vehicles that were still emitting a little green smoke, and the dense corpses that almost blocked both sides of the Kunshan Pass showed that the Chu army had lost a considerable number of soldiers and horses in this fierce attack day and night.

According to historical records, in the Warring States Period, the coalition forces were basically defeated under the Hangu Pass.

Because such a place is not like the joint vertical attack on Qin depicted in a certain popular Japanese manga, where tens of thousands of people can be arranged in a phalanx for offensive operations.

According to the study of some circumstances, at that time, Hangu Pass was often only able to arrange a storm front of about 3,000 people in the pass area.

It can be said that it is not an exaggeration to say that this place of Hangu Pass is indeed the easiest place to defend and difficult to attack.

Of course, the defenders of Hangu Pass could not resist the fierce offensive that almost continued and was wave after wave. For example, the Qin officers and soldiers under Huan Feng and Ruan Weng Shao were more likely to rotate with the infantry units commanded by Kong Gang and Jiang Lie in the early morning of the next day.

In the past few days, the troops of Han Xin and others have already rotated to guard the pass, which is also where the Chu army wonders, because they are not facing an enemy army with sufficient equipment, fighting will and physical strength.

And among the Chu army, the most depressed personnel are naturally Xiang Yu, who is bent on going his own way.

In his heart, this Hangu Pass, which had been quite dilapidated in the fierce battles of so many months, would naturally be a difficult target for him to defend against under this kind of offensive.

But he is not stupid, whether the officers and soldiers under the command of the other party have been rotated, of course he can see the truth of such a thing.

In the siege of the city during the two days, he paid a considerable price, and was almost able to control the offensive of the Hangu Pass city wall, but was driven down from the city wall by the other party.

How could Xiang Yu, who was quite confident in his own combat arrangements, accept this?

However, even he knew very well that the offensive had to stop, and then let his officers and soldiers rest and recuperate before making the next plan.

He had no intention of giving up just like that, as it was his only chance to maintain control of the force.

......

There are more than 300,000 troops under Xiang Yu's command, even if there are only about 2780,000 left, the officers and soldiers of Chu under his command still do not occupy the majority. Especially the veterans of the Chu army who accompanied him on the expedition to Julu more than a year ago were even more seriously damaged.

At present, among the more than 200,000 people under the command of Xiang Yu, some of them have been forcibly incorporated and the peasants who have been coerced account for a considerable proportion.

Once Xiang Yu really has to retreat from Hangu Pass because of the grain problem, I am afraid that his army, if there are 100,000 people left, it can be regarded as burning high incense.

Xiang Yu himself knows very well that in another two or three days, even if he wants to hide the fact that Ao Cang has fallen, it will be impossible to do it.

His only hope was to break through Hangu Pass within two or three days, and then let his officers and soldiers wantonly plunder the pass and supply it on the spot.

He naturally knew very well that if he did this, he would never be able to win the hearts and minds of the people in Guanzhong.

But even if he doesn't do this, I'm afraid he won't be able to win the hearts of the people in Guanzhong. You must know that the more than 100,000 troops under Zhang Han's command were basically killed by him in the Thorn Plain.

So it doesn't make a difference whether he does such a thing or not. More importantly, he himself never thought of taking the Guanzhong region for himself.

Xiang Yu didn't understand the importance of the Guanzhong region to the whole world, in his heart, what he cared for was still the hometown of Jiangdong Chu that he loved.

He thinks that it is a very stupid thing for Zhang Jiashi to be the first to enter Guanzhong, which has been tossed by Hu Hai and Zhao Gao.

Based on his understanding of Zhang Jiashi, that is, with Zhang Jiashi's strength, he could directly occupy the land of Hebei instead of a dilapidated Guanzhong region.

What Xiang Yu couldn't imagine was that Zhang Jiashi did have such an ability to occupy the area north of the river, but he was unwilling and didn't want to do such a stupid thing. Because the land north of the river, in fact, after the toss of Wuchen and others, is even more unbearable than Guanzhong, and he does not want to form a river division army that will not play too much, but spend too much to consolidate his rule over the Hebei region.

Zhang Jiashi thinks this is a very stupid thing.

Of course, Zhang Jiashi can't deny that the current Guanzhong region is indeed as different as the first emperor period. But so what?

The foundation of the 800-mile Qinchuan is still there, and the Zhengguoqu is still there, so the advantage of the Guanzhong Plain has not been lost.

Zhang Jiashi understood a situation from the Qingyu Spirit Book, that is, those who are in the pass may not necessarily win the world, but those who lose the pass will not be able to get the world.

The importance of the Guanzhong region gradually declined after the Western Jin Dynasty, and after the end of the Tang Dynasty, Guanzhong was reduced to a dispensable area.

However, it cannot be denied that the Northern Song Dynasty owned the Guanlong region, and the Western Xia could only make small fights and could not threaten the safety of Kaifeng. The Northern Song Dynasty only needed to concentrate on the Liao and Jin kingdoms.

The Yuan Dynasty lost Guanlong, and even the connection between Sichuan and Yunnan-Guizhou could only be directly interrupted, losing the advantage of encirclement of the nascent Ming regime, until the Ming army defeated the main army in Henan that was exhausted by civil strife, and declared defeat.

And the Ming Dynasty, also because it lost its control over the Guanlong region and forced the hungry people, didn't it end up with Chongzhen hanging himself in the coal mountain?

(The fall of the Ming Dynasty, to be honest, is not worthy of pity, Zhang Juzheng before his death, he clearly realized the importance of the Guanlong region to the Ming Dynasty, and formulated a series of tax reduction policies to stabilize the already chaotic situation in Guanlong.) And Wei Zhongxian seems to understand this, and once the Apocalypse, the chaos in the Guanlong area has shown signs of improvement. However, after the Donglin Party overthrew the eunuch party led by Wei Zhongxian, with the cancellation of a series of corresponding policies, and even the imposition of heavy taxes on the Guanlong area, as a result, everything was irreparable. ）

(Ben Wolf despises Chongzhen's words, that is: "I am not the king of the dead country.") "At the same time you say this, it is none of your business if you don't know who you employ? Who asked you to reuse those Donglin Party who have been focusing on Qinglou poetry for a hundred years, and even someone who can say that the water is too cold. ）

It can be said that although Xiang Yu is not yet evaluated as a monkey, short-sightedness does exist.

And this may also be related to Xiang Yu's understanding that he himself has lost the basis of his rule over the Guanzhong region, so there will be such a result.

......

In contrast to Xiang Yu's situation, in a village a few miles west of Hangu Pass, where civilians had already been evacuated and military was requisitioned, under the order of Zhang Jiashi, Huan Feng, who was in charge of the defensive operations of Hangu Pass, said with a tired expression:

"Ladies and gentlemen, at the moment we are holding off the onslaught of rebellion, but our situation is not much better. ”

Huan Feng said this, more of a fact.

Hangu Pass is certainly easy to defend and difficult to attack, but not to mention that in the previous battles, he and Nguyen Weng Shao's defending troops had already become the end of the crossbow, and now, the tens of thousands of troops under the command of several members who came to support also paid quite heavy casualties.

They even had to use their precious knights and charioters as infantry to defend the city.

Although Zhang Jiashi took away most of the knights in the Guanzhong area, there were still three or four thousand knights in the tens of thousands of knights they gathered near Hangu Pass.

Many of the knights had lost their masters after two days of defending the city, and their mounts were wailing in the stables with grief......

Many knights and their crotch mounts have been companions for many years, and the horse, a psychic animal, knows very well what it means if his master doesn't even show up to feed them at the end of the day.

However, compared with the knights, the light chariot soldiers, who numbered less than 3,000 people, were even more miserable, and among many light chariot troops, only one chariot was left behind......

Whether it was the crossbow chariots in Liaodong County, or the old chariot units in the Northern Xinjiang Army and the Guanzhong Army, they all paid a very heavy price.

What they got in exchange was the result that Hangu Pass was still controlled by them.

After Han Xin and the others heard Huan Feng's words, they could only be silent.

Especially Han Xin, when he had just received the order and was ready to replace and pay a heavy price, and had to let him lead the army to resist, the defenders of the city head of Hangu Pass were suppressed by the Chu army, and after the Chu army had begun to occupy more and more passages of the city wall, he could only let a thousand knights under his command take the lead to support.

Han Xin didn't expect that the thousand knights under his command, and most of them had begun to follow him in Liaodong County, were almost all wiped out on the walls of Hangu Pass......

Han Xin knew very well that these knights should not have died, they should not have died in this place. Especially in the kind of fierce battle of the Battle of the Great Deer, none of these knights paid this price......

This made Han Xin's heart continue to drip blood.

But he knew that he himself could not blame anyone......

Even Jiang Lie and Kong Gang, who seem to be the most responsible.

......

Jiang Lie died, and after the first wall passage of Hangu Pass was lost, he led his personal guards to seal the widening gap.

But Jiang Lie did this, more in vain.

Jiang Lie's entourage of forty or fifty people was simply unable to stop more and more Chu army onslaught, and after resisting for less than a few minutes, all the personal guards around Jiang Lie died in the weapons of the Chu army.

Jiang Lie was still able to hold on, but in the face of the Chu army that almost surrounded them, Jiang Lie, who was wounded in many places, finally died under the weapons of more than a dozen Chu troops......

By the time Jiang Lie's body was found, his head had already been cut off by the Chu people......

Kong Gang's fate was not much better, although he did not die, but according to the diagnosis of the military medical worker, although Kong Gang could still be saved, but the other party jumped down from the city wall more than ten meters high with several Chu troops, although he did not fall to death, but even if his left leg was healed, I am afraid he can only walk on crutches......

Such a sentence also announced Kong Gang's military career, which can be regarded as an imperfect end.

And after this battle, almost all of the 500 officers above the main rank under the command of Kong Gang and Jiang Lie were killed, and less than 40 of the 130 100 generals survived......

This unit was, so to speak, almost directly crippled.

But in the past two days, including the thousands of baggage teams in the Nangong period, they also paid about one-third of the casualties.

And Nangong Qi himself, although he attended this meeting, he couldn't wear armor at that time, because the other party's arm and left body were even wrapped in cloth that exuded a strong herbal smell......

Many people didn't understand why Chu Jun was so desperate, but after hearing an answer from Han Xin, they could only be silent:

"I'm afraid that the king's battle has been successful, and the Chu army, which has lost the grain of Aocang, will not play with us for their lives, so they can only retreat. For Xiang Yu, only breaking through Hangu Pass and our army and plundering the materials in the pass is his best choice. ”

The people who heard this, even Huan Feng, a high-ranking officer who could be counted under Zhang Jiashi, could only be silent.

Because he didn't think that Han Xin had said anything wrong, and he didn't think that Zhang Jiashi had done anything wrong.

Xiang Yu wanted to play with them, and they had no way not to accompany them. Once the Chu army outside Hangu Pass enters Guanzhong, then Guanzhong will really be finished.

Perhaps, they can use Hangu Pass to slowly drag down the Chu army, but Cao Shen, who has transported grain and straw these times, has more and more gray hair on his head, and he will not deceive.

Everyone, including Huan Feng, knew that Cao Shen's deployment of materials to support their battle at Hangu Pass was already the limit......

In other words, if they really want to drag down the Chu army, then it must be them who will collapse......

...
