The Wei army battalion.

"Marshal, if our army forcibly crosses the river, I am afraid it will cause incalculable casualties." Jin contempt reminded.

He was worried that Zhao Kuo would issue an order to forcibly cross the river in order to support the Zhao army as soon as possible, after all, few generals would take the lives of soldiers from other countries seriously.

He was even prepared that if Zhao Kuo ordered a forcible crossing, he would unite with Wei Wuji to deprive Zhao Kuo of his military power.

Although Zhao Kuo is the general of Wei, he is a native of Zhao after all, and has no foundation in the Wei army, as long as he and Wei Wuji join forces, Zhao Kuo will not want to command a single soldier.

"Why don't our troops cross the river downstream?" One of the generals suggested.

The Qin army only controlled the upper part of the river, and the lower part of the river was still in the hands of the Wei army.

"Nope." Zhao Kuo shook his head.

The Wei army finally fought here, and if it withdrew to cross the river from the downstream, it would be a waste of time, not to mention, if you want to defeat the Qin army, you will also have to cross the Qinshui, and the gains outweigh the losses.

"Otherwise, let's wait for the arrival of the army of Chu and Korea and cross the river together." A general said.

Crossing the river will inevitably cause a large number of casualties, but if it is shared by three countries, then it is not unacceptable, after all, there are no immortals in a war.

Zhao Kuo looked at Liu Ping, and Liu Ping said: "The Korean army has set off, but the state of Chu is still in the process of being requisitioned. ”

"Can't wait that long."

Zhao Kuo sat on the top, his eyes fixed on the map, and kept thinking about what to do.

Things have come to this point, it is necessary to fight, and if you don't fight, you can't defeat the Qin army, but if you fight, you can't let the Wei army lose too much.

The so-called conspiracy is only an alliance of interests.

For Wei, once the losses outweighed the gains, it was possible to destroy the alliance.

Wei was the first country to join forces with Zhao, and once Wei withdrew, Han and Wei didn't have to think about it.

The alliance he had managed to put together would be dismantled.

Therefore, Zhao Kuo had to find a way to reduce the losses of the Wei army.

"I heard that Zhao Fei is riding in Hanoi, so it's better to let Zhao Fei ride to pick us up." Wei Wuji suggested.

If Zhao Feiqi can sneak attack the Qin army from behind when the Wei army crosses the river, it will inevitably be able to share a lot of pressure, and the Wei army can take the opportunity to cross the river and gain a foothold in a short time.

"Nope." Zhao Kuo stood up suddenly.

The faces of all the generals suddenly changed, and Zhao Kuo decided not to treat Wei Jun as a person!

Zhao Guoren is really unreliable as the coach.

Just when Jin Contempt was about to stand up to stop Zhao Kuo, Zhao Kuo shook his head and said, "We don't cross the river." ”

"Don't cross the river? So how to defeat the Qin army? All the Wei generals looked at Zhao Kuo in surprise.

Zhao Kuo pointed to Hangu Pass on the map and said resolutely: "We will attack Hangu Pass." ”

"Attack Hangu Pass? It's no easier than crossing a river. Jin said contemptively.

Hangu Pass is the first Xiongguan in the world, and the Qin State can face the six eastern countries undefeated, relying on Hangu Pass.

Over the years, Hangu Pass has only been breached once, and the commander of the coalition forces at that time was called Kuang Zhang.

However, Kuang Zhang's capture of Hangu Pass also reminded Qin that Hangu Pass was not invincible, so that Qin once again strengthened the defense of Hangu Pass.

"No, it's time to attack Hangu Pass." Wei Wuji said with some excitement.

Hangu Pass is the first Xiongguan in the world, and the Qin army has stationed a large number of troops here!

However, this time, the Qin Wang's soldiers went out to Hangu Pass to attack Yewang, and he was short of major generals, and he would inevitably take away a large number of defenders at Hangu Pass.

For the Qin State, the enemy at that time was only the Zhao State, and all the troops of the Zhao State were in Shangdang and Yewang, even if there was an enemy to attack, the army on the front line could block it, and the enemy could not hit Hangu Pass.

Therefore, at this time, Hangu Pass must be empty.

Hearing Wei Wuji's explanation, everyone's eyes looking at Zhao Kuo were suddenly different from before.

"If the Qin army crosses the river to attack us, we will meet us. If they don't attack us, then we will storm Hangu Pass, and then attack Xianyang. I want to see if it is important for the Qin State to annihilate the 400,000 soldiers of our Zhao army, or whether it is important to Xianyang. ”

Zhao Kuo pressed his palm on the map to the location of Xianyang, and said very resolutely.

……

Early the next morning, the Wei army immediately set out and rushed towards Hangu Pass.

The next day, arrived at the Mianchi where Qin Wangji and Zhao Huiwen met, and Lin Xiangru relied on his courage and resourcefulness to protect the safety of King Zhao and prevent him from being humiliated, and was therefore named Shangqing.

Michi is just a small town, no more than a few hundred soldiers, no more than a thousand, how can it resist the 150,000 army of the Wei army, the defender will see that he did not struggle after being surrounded, and immediately surrendered the city.

Zhao Kuo asked where the place where Qin Wangji and Zhao Huiwen met back then, Jin Wei pointed to a platform not far away that was more than a foot high, the size of a room, and covered with dry grass, and said, "Isn't that?" ”

Zhao Kuo was instantly bored.

On the third day, the Wei army arrived outside the Hangu Pass......

……

Hangu Pass.

There were lingering sounds in the small courtyard, which was annoying.

Qiang was originally a Qiang person, but later the tribe was annexed by the Qin State, so he joined the Qin State, and he thought that his identity would definitely be discriminated against in the Qin State.

However, it didn't.

In the Qin State, whether you are a Zhao, Chu, Qi, Bashu, Qiang, or Yiqu person, as long as you have the ability, you can win enough respect.

Soon, with his brave fighting, Qiang was promoted to the ninth rank of the fifth doctor, and was arranged by the king of Qin to guard Hangu Pass, the gateway of the Qin state.

This is a good errand, the king of Qin personally led an army of 150,000 outside, as long as the Qin army is not defeated, it is impossible for Hangu Pass to be attacked. Therefore, these days, Qiang's life is very comfortable, and he even recruited two new concubines, except for a symbolic search camp every day, almost all of the rest of the time is with the concubine.

On this day, just as the last moment, a soldier suddenly rushed into the courtyard and shouted: "General, something is wrong, Guanwai...... Enemy troops appeared outside the pass. ”

Qiang Qi instantly became a spirit, and then, angrily rushed out of the room, and asked in a deep voice, "Enemy troops? Where did the enemy come from at this time? ”

"General, really, go and take a look, the outside of the pass is densely packed with enemy troops, and you can't see the end at a glance." The soldier was so anxious that he was about to go crazy, and he wanted to rush up and stab him twice.

This Nima Qiang people are really unreliable.

"In that case, then I'll go and see, if it's fake, you're going to be punished by military law."

Qiang Qi said angrily, then went back to the house to comfort the concubine, put on a single coat and walked towards the city.

It's not that he has no money, it's just that Qiang feels that only wearing single clothes in winter can show a man's temperament.

By the time Qiang Qi slowly climbed to the top of the city, the Wei army under the city had already set up a catapult.

"Go quickly, and ask the king for help." A sharp voice resounded throughout Hangu Pass.
