Fifty miles outside the city of Luoyi, an endless stream of black-armored soldiers crawled forward like a dragon.

Only one horse went backwards at great speed.

Before approaching a normal chariot, the horse came to a stop.

"What's wrong?" A middle-aged man standing on the left side of the chariot, dressed in black armor, and no different from an ordinary soldier, asked.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, no one would have thought that this person was the commander of the 100,000 Qin army.

Zhang Ruo's age is slightly older than Bai Qi, but due to the cultivation of the transcendent realm, the years have not left too many traces on his face, and his cold face reveals three points of handsomeness.

If it weren't for the equipment on his body that pulled his hips too much, it would never be too much to call him an old handsome guy.

"General Yu, General Wang Yi is at the front to greet you." The knight did not roll over and dismount, but simply clasped his fists and saluted.

"I see." Zhang Ruo nodded, "Chen Zhuang." ”

"The end will be." A young general rode over from the rear.

"You lead the army to deploy defenses in advance to prevent the Sanjin raid." Although he knew that Wang Yu would inevitably make arrangements, Zhang Ruo still arranged for his subordinates to deploy again.

"No." Chen Zhuang said with his fists clenched.

An hour later, Zhang Ruo saw a canopy standing on the side of the road from a distance, and under the canopy, it was Wang Yi and others who greeted Zhang Ruo.

"The general of the defeated army has seen the general." Seeing Zhang Ruo, Wang Yu hurriedly led the generals to greet him.

In terms of age and qualifications, Zhang Ruo is above him, and Wang Yi has no dissatisfaction with Zhang Ruo taking over as the main general.

"The general never has to." Zhang Ruo turned over and got out of the car and helped Wang Yi up.

"General, fortunately not disgraced." Lü Buwei stepped forward and bowed.

This time, he returned to the Qin State, which was not as smooth as he imagined, and the successive setbacks of the Qin State made Qin Wangji realize that the Qin State no longer seemed to be the invincible overlord in the world.

The conservatives of the Qin State continued to speak out, advocating the abandonment of the Eastern Crusade and making friends with the Three Jin Dynasty, so that the world could be peaceful.

At the critical moment, Fan Ju chose to stand on Lü Buwei's side, or in other words, he had to stand on Lü Buwei's side.

The ministers of the Qin State were mainly divided into two factions, one was the local faction and the other was the foreign faction.

Most of the localists were Qin nobles, with intricate relationships and deep roots.

And the foreign faction has no foundation, and the biggest reliance is King Qin.

If the King of Qin is reused, it is possible to ascend to the sky in one step, and one person is below and above ten thousand.

If the king of Qin abandons him, he can only leave the Qin state like a lost dog.

In order to suppress the aristocracy, almost all the Qin kings chose to appoint foreign factions as ministers.

This has led to an irreconcilable relationship between the two.

The conservatives were mainly from the Qin aristocracy.

When the Qin State was frantically expanding abroad, they had little right to speak.

But when the Qin state was defeated many times and lost its land, conservatives sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

This is also the disadvantage of the military merit system!

Everyone tied their heads around their waists to follow you to mix military merits, and now it's okay, the military merits are gone, and you will be punished for defeat.

Originally, your fucking Qin law was harsh, and squeezed everything we could dry, and the only hope was military merit, and now that we don't even have the only hope, what a fart?

If it was something else, Fan Ju might stand by and watch, but in this matter, he had to join forces with Lu Buwei.

Once the conservatives are victorious, the first thing they must do is to eliminate these outsiders, take power back into their own hands, and even dismantle the century-old military merit knighthood system of the Qin State.

After Fan Ju explained this to Qin Wangji, Qin Wangji immediately suppressed the conservatives and transferred Zhang Ruo from Hanzhong to serve as the coach to attack Sanchuan.

If the Qin State can continue to expand its territory as before, this fluctuation can be regarded as a small setback at best.

If the Qin State continues to be defeated, or even loses its land, it will not be so easy to pacify it.

"The military advisor has worked hard." Wang Yi said gratefully.

Although Lü Buwei did not say it explicitly, he understood that he was not removed from his post this time, but was demoted to a deputy general, and Lü Buwei must have made a lot of efforts.

Otherwise, no matter how biased Qin Wangji is in favor of him, he will have to give an explanation to others.

"Let's go back to the camp first, and we'll talk about the rest later." Zhang Ruo stopped the others from stepping forward to salute and pulled Wang Yu towards the chariot.

Soon, the army moved again.

After entering the camp, Zhang Ruo arranged for each army to go to their respective camps, although he had not commanded the army for many years, he still had no strangeness.

Until nightfall, the 100,000-strong army was finally arranged, and all the generals of the Qin army gathered in the main camp.

"Let's introduce it first." Zhang Ruo sat on the top seat, looked around, and spoke.

Although he was in the same Qin State, he sat in the southwest all the year round and rarely returned to Xianyang, except for a few people in the camp, most of whom he didn't even know.

"No." Wang Yu stood up, pointed to the silk next to him and said, "General Yu." This is Xuan, the transcendent realm, thanks to him before, the losses of our army after the defeat were not so serious. ”

"Hmm." Zhang Ruo nodded at Xuan.

"This is the ...... of Qiang Fistula"

……

Until Zheng Anping was introduced, Zhang Ruo's eyes widened, and Zheng Anping instantly felt a terrifying aura enveloping him.

When he was in Xianyang, Lü Buwei told him the whole battle.

But for many reasons, Fan Ju interceded with his benefactor Zheng Anping, and Lü Buwei was difficult to impeach Zheng Anping because Fan Ju helped him suppress the conservatives.

Qin Wangji needs Wang Ji to stay as a deputy general, if Zheng Anping is disposed of, then Wang Di must be dealt with first, after all, Wang Ji is the first person responsible for the defeat of the Qin army, and Zheng Anping is at most after the defeat of the Qin army, and he did not recover his disadvantages in time.

In addition, after Hu Yang, Sima Terrier, and Yang Xiong died in battle, there were not many middle and high-level generals in the Qin State, and Zheng Anping could lead an army alone no matter how capable he was.

For various reasons, Zheng Anping's matter could only be stopped.

Qin Wangji did not deal with Zheng Anping, and Zhang Ruozi would not slap Qin Wangji and Fan Ju in the face.

However, Zhang Ruo still gave Zheng Anping an unbearable label in his heart, and if he was forced to do so in the future, he should not arrange tasks for him, and he should give Fan Ju a face.

"I'm Zhang Ruo, you should all have heard my name. Without further ado, from today onwards, I will be your commander-in-chief, and there is only one requirement, obey orders. Did you hear it all? After everyone was introduced, Zhang Ruo slowly stood up, and the momentum of the Lord of the First Army emanated from his body.

"No!" Everyone stood up and spoke in unison, and no one showed dissatisfaction.

"Before I came, the king told me. Take Luoyi at all costs. Only by taking Luoyi can we occupy Sanchuan, and only by occupying Sanchuan can we suppress Han Wei. Only by subduing Han Wei can I, the Qin State, become the overlord of the world. Zhang Ruo turned around and pointed to the location of Luoyi and Sanchuan and said.

Sanchuan is located in the middle of the world, and its geographical location is particularly important.

It is bordered by Wei to the east, Korea to the southeast, and Hanoi to the north.

Sanchuan's Tiger Prison Pass, Yin Que Pass, Xuanyuan Pass and other passes are the only ones in Han Wei that can resist the natural danger of Qin.

Sanchuan is to Han Wei, just as the party is to Zhao State, and it is where the ridge is located.

As long as Sanchuan and its surrounding Luoyang Eight Passes are taken, Han Wei, who does not have any natural danger to defend, is like fish on the chopping board, at the mercy of the Qin State.

In the past, the Qin State was afraid of the status of the co-lord of the Zhou State, and the strength did not reach the level of crushing the Six Kingdoms, and at the same time, the Zhao State in the north provoked two times in three days, ignoring the status of the overlord of the Qin State.

Therefore, the Qin State chose to send troops to the party, although it was South Korea that was attacked, but the real threat was the Zhao State.

Now there is no way, Hedong was recaptured by Wei, and Qin no longer borders Shangdang, even if it borders, taking the initiative to attack is not Zhao's opponent.

The only way out was to occupy Sanchuan, suppress Han Wei, and separate Sanjin from the middle so that it could not be united.

At that time, the Qin State will be able to attack Han Wei at any time, and I don't believe that you Zhao State will take the trouble to support the two countries every time.

As long as there is no support once, our Qin State will be able to pull the two countries to the chariot of our Qin State.

It's a difficult road, and if you're not careful, you'll lose all your efforts, but it's good that it's at least going in a good direction for now.

Although the Qin army suffered a great defeat, it can be seen from the fact that the reinforcements were only three Jin, and the princes of the world no longer took the Zhou State in their eyes at all

That's a good thing!

This is also the main reason why Lü Buwei was able to convince Qin Wangji.

If he was now faced with the Six Kingdoms attacking Qin, Qin Wangji would not say a word, and immediately withdraw his troops and retreat back to Hangu Pass.

"The last general will do his best to help the general capture Luoyi." Everyone said in unison.

"Okay, let's go back and rest, and attack the city with all our might tomorrow. Today, Ben himself will guard the camp for you. Zhang Ruo said loudly.

Everyone bowed their hands, and only Zhang Ruo remained in the tent, looking at the map in the faint light.

It was pitch black outside, there were no stars in the sky, the moon was hidden in the clouds, and the thin oil lamp could not illuminate the entire camp, but with the strength of the transcendent realm, as long as there was a little light, it would not affect the vision.

"Did the general say that Sanjin would choose a night attack?" After the generals left, Wang Di asked.

"Is there a difference between a night attack and a night attack?" Zhang Ruo glanced at Wang Di.

"The last general means...... Maybe you can lure the Sanjin night attack. The art of war is cloudy, and the law of siege is a last resort. Repair the oars, with instruments, and then complete in March; It's been three months. It will be overwhelming and the ants will possess it, kill one-third of the soldiers, and those who will not pull out the city will also be attacked by this disaster. 'Our army, though it is strong, cannot be outnumbered ten times by the enemy. If you can lure Sanjin out of the city, even if you win more than a thousand, you can also reduce the pressure of attacking the city. Wang Yi said.

"General Wang must not be eager to win." Zhang Ruo sighed, and it could be seen from Wang Di's haggard face that he was already a little stunned in order to win, otherwise he would never have said such a thing at his level.

"Sanjin is a reinforcement, do you think they will fight hard for the Zhou State? What can they get by working hard for the Zhou Kingdom? ”

If Zhang Ruo is the third Jin, he will definitely defend the city honestly, and he can hold it for as long as he can, and if he can't hold it, he will leave the Western Zhou Kingdom and run away.

This is the normal way to do reinforcements.

Risking your life for a night attack? Only fools do it.

Even if it was a night attack, it would be a night attack by the Western Zhou Kingdom.

However, at the level of the Western Zhou Kingdom, even if it is a night attack, it is only a head.
