"Your Majesty, General Jia Yan sent a message that the city is empty, and there is no Qin army in the city." A cavalryman galloped over from a distance, and after seeing Zhao Kuo, he hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and reported with his fists in his fists.

"It seems that all the Qin troops have been evacuated from the city." Zhao Kuo looked at the generals below.

"The Qin army marched to the northwest, either retreating to Xicheng and Yuzhong, or retreating from Wuguan to Guanzhong, and the minister suggested that the whole army attack Xicheng and Yuzhong, and then attack Guanzhong from Wuguan after taking the two cities." Li Si said with his fists clenched.

Xicheng and Yuzhong are not big cities, but the Qin army has garrisons in both places, and if the Zhao army does not capture these two cities and directly attack Wuguan, it will face the risk of the grain route being intercepted.

This is also the reason why ancient wars were fought one city after another.

Once Lian Po reacted and cut off the grain route of the Qin army, tens of thousands of Qin troops would not only be defeated and retreated, but also likely to be flanked by the Zhao army.

Therefore, it was not until the last moment that Fan Ju had no choice but to offer this plan.

However, there is an exception, that is, the army does not need a grain road, so it does not need to fight one city after another.

Just like when the nomads went south, as long as they crossed the Great Wall, they could drink the Yellow River all the way, burn and loot everywhere, and the grain they looted was enough to sustain the consumption of the army, and there was even a surplus, and there was no need to transport grain from the rear at all, and there was no grain road to intercept.

"It's better to divide the army into two places and attack the city and Yuzhong at the same time." Gongsun Long said.

"Okay. The order will go down, and tomorrow the army will march out and attack the city and Yuzhong." Zhao Kuo got up and said.

It is impossible to open today, and today we have to pursue the Qin army.

……

Tou Man sat in the tent with a golden sword, holding a book in his hand and reading through it, and when he didn't understand something, he asked the scribe next to him.

The scribe yawned and explained to Touman without a word.

It's not that Touman is diligent to the extreme, and he starts reading before dawn. Rather, he was in charge of the vigilance from twelve o'clock in the middle of the night to twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, and Meng Wu was in charge of the vigilance from twelve o'clock in the middle of the night to twelve o'clock in the middle of the night.

It was his time to be in charge, and he couldn't sleep, so Touman sat in the tent and read.

After living in Zhao for so long, Touman knows that it is not enough to have force, and if he wants to become the boss, or even obtain a fief and manage the fief well, he must have enough wisdom.

So Touman began to read, learn from the hundred schools of thought, learn to command the army, learn the battle formation, and ask others for advice when he encountered something he didn't understand.

Almost all the generals and strategists in the Zhao army were consulted by Touman.

Touman, who was born in the Hu people, has a face that ordinary people don't have, whether he is facing a higher level than him or a lower level than him, he can pull the cheek and ask for advice.

Some people don't want to teach him, and Touman is not angry, and the next time he sees him still smiling.

If he was willing to teach him, Touman became more and more respectful.

Xunzi once commented on Touman, if the Xiongnu were not destroyed, Touman would definitely become the enemy of Zhao.

"Newspaper ...... General, the king has an order for the Qin army to withdraw to the northwest, and orders you and General Mengwu to immediately lead the army to block the Qin army." A herald ran in from outside the tent and said with his fists clenched.

"The Qin army has withdrawn!" Hearing this, Tou Man suddenly stood up from his seat, took Zhao Kuo's summons, and after checking that there was no problem, he immediately ordered, "Gather the drums."

Not long after, Meng Wu and Touman led the Zhao army to rush out of the camp.

……

On the road leading from the city to the city, the Qin army lined up in a long line and slowly marched in the direction of the city.

Even on the march, the Qin army was still closely connected, interlocking, and there was not the slightest confusion.

The cavalry of the Zhao army followed behind, constantly shooting arrows and attacking, but never charged.

Until Lecheng led the Youyun Iron Cavalry to arrive.

"Brothers, go with me!" Without saying a word, Le Cheng waved his horse lance forward, and directly led the Youyun Iron Cavalry to rush towards the Qin army.

"Brothers, rush!"

The war clouds rolled wildly, and the earth trembled

, With the Youyun Iron Cavalry as the front, the cavalry of the Zhao army instantly had the backbone, and closely followed the Youyun Iron Cavalry towards the Qin army.

"Shoot the arrows!" Bai Qi ordered.

Dangdang!

The crisp sound of collision continued to sound, the arrows fell on the body, and the speed of the Youyun Iron Cavalry did not weaken in the slightest, and directly killed the Qin army against the rain of arrows.

"Die!" An incomparably hideous smile appeared on Le Cheng's face, and he waved his horse lance and swept towards the Qin army in front of him.

Burst!

Blood burst out more than a meter high, and a huge human head rose into the sky and fell into the Qin army.

Youyun Iron Cavalry followed closely behind Le Cheng, and rushed into the Qin army unstoppably, and the huge horse hooves instantly trampled the Qin army into flesh, and the Qin army was defeated one after another, and it had long been no longer brave to engage the Zhao army, and fled to the rear one after another.

Bai Qi's face was cold, and the reaction speed of the Zhao army was too fast, and the Qin army was caught up before he could catch up with him before he could catch up, and if he continued like this, when he arrived at Xicheng, the Qin army was almost killed.

Knowing this, he should have evacuated the city half a month ago.

"For now, the only way to do this is to throw away the money, hoping to delay Zhao Jun for a while." Wei Ran walked over and said.

His face was not good-looking, Zhao Jun would send troops to pursue everyone expected, but they didn't expect Zhao Jun to be so fast, which was very different from their previous plan.

"That's all it can be." Bai nodded, and ordered, "Pass the order, scatter all the money in the army on the side of the road, and don't keep a single one."

Soon, boxes of gold, silver, jewelry, and copper coins were lifted up and fell to the side of the road under Qin Jun's distressed gaze.

Although the Qin army robbed a lot of money in Wei, after being defeated by Wei Wuji, most of the money was not taken with them. Fortunately, before leaving the city, the Qin army emptied the entire city, but everything that could be taken away was taken away, and a lot of treasures were gathered.

Zhao Jun looked at the gold and silver treasures on both sides, his eyes suddenly straightened, his legs seemed to be filled with lead, and he couldn't take a step no matter what.

The treatment given to them by Zhao Guo is very good, which is incomparable to all countries in the world.

But it still can't change the fact that most of them are not rich, and they have never seen more money than they have ever seen.

As long as they dismount and grab a handful from the ground, they can catch up with them for several months.

If they had waited for the soldiers to catch up, it would have been impossible for them to get so much money.

However, military orders are like mountains, and if they are violated, they will inevitably be punished, and may even be beheaded.

On the one hand, there are military orders, and on the other hand, there is the temptation of money, and most of them have struggles on their faces.

But no one turned over and dismounted to collect the money from the ground.

They were not recruits who had just been recruited for a few months, and all the cavalry of Zhao State, except for the Hu people, had either followed Zhao Kuo since the Battle of Changping, or the Great Wall Army guarding the frontier, all of whom had undergone at least six years of rigorous training.

They will hesitate because of money, but they will never immediately disobey military orders when they see money.

"The elite of the Zhao army is hard to resist." Seeing this, Bai Qi couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

He couldn't figure out how such a legion could be trained,

After leading the army for so many years, he had never seen such an elite army.

This is not a few hundred thousands, but tens of thousands, or even a hundred thousand troops!

Looking at the world, in addition to the Zhao State, the other six countries ...... No, the five countries combined, it is impossible to make up so many elites.

In the past, he thought that the Qin army was already a strong army in the world, but today he knows what a strong army is.

"What are you doing! Can't walk when you see money? That's all you guys are doing? How does Lao Tzu usually teach you, if the Qin army kills you when you are picking up money, what will you do? Is money or life important?"

"Originally, the money would be distributed to you when it was seized, but now no one is gone. In addition, Ben will report to the king, and everyone today, including Ben general, will be fined for a month, and those who have opinions will go to the king and say. Now, listen to the order, and kill the enemy with Ben."

Lecheng rushed from not far away

came over, his cheeks flushed with anger, and he pointed at all Zhao Jun and scolded.

Zhao Jun lowered his head in shame.

If Zhao Guo shortened their fortunes and lacked their rewards, it would be forgivable for them to see that money could not be walked.

After all, everyone is a human being, and being a soldier is mainly for living, if you can't even afford to eat, you can't even afford to support your wife and children, it's a bit illusory to talk about protecting your family and defending the country.

But Zhao Guo has never shortened their Yulu, nor has he lacked their rewards, as long as they don't take them to gambling or the like, so that the family can eat enough old snacks and add two new clothes during the New Year.

Everyone has a scale in their hearts, and everyone knows how Zhao Guo treats them, so they have always felt that they owe Zhao Guo, and their efforts are not worthy of what Zhao Guo gives.

This makes them even more ashamed.

However, there was no time for them to reflect on the battlefield, Le Cheng had already been killed, and Zhao Jun followed behind, killing Qin Jun even more angrily.

Qin Jun looked at Zhao Jun puzzled, you were detained for Lao Tzu's? Why be angry with Lao Tzu.

"I...... Underestimate Zhao Jun." Wei Ran silently looked at the scene in front of him, and a storm set off in his heart.

Although he didn't want to admit it, the reality was right in front of him: he helped Zhao Jun complete a growth ......

He was sure that after experiencing today, Zhao Jun would not even look at the money on the ground when he encountered this situation in the future.

An army that is not moved by money, Wei Ran can't think of what kind of army can defeat them.

Bai Qi grabbed the hilt of the sword with his right hand, his face was extremely ugly, and he wanted to lead the troops back several times, but reason told him that this would not solve any problems.

If you are dragged by the cavalry of the Zhao army, when the infantry of the Zhao army catches up, none of the Qin army will want to run.

"I'll come to the palace, and I'll buy an hour for the army." Wei Ran sighed and turned around and walked in the opposite direction to everyone else.

Qin Wangji is old, he is older than Qin Wangji.

He watched the Qin State gradually become stronger and stronger, suppressing the Six Kingdoms, and watched the Qin State gradually decline.

Let him do the last thing for the Qin State.

"Hoho!" Bai Qi said urgently, a rare expression of truth in his cold eyes.

"You lead the troops back to the city, don't worry, after this battle, the king will never want to get rid of you again, you have to assist the king well." Wei Ran said slowly.

In the past, Bai Qi was extremely proud in his heart, and even in the face of Qin Wangji, he was unwilling to bow his head.

But now that Bai Qi sees Qin Wangji, he will unconsciously lower his head.

The destruction of the Fei Lian Army completely destroyed Bai Qi's pride, and made Bai Qi feel sorry for Qin Wangji.

Although Qin Wangji was jealous of him, he did not give him any constraints, the whole army listened to him militarily, and even his old rival Fan Ju did his best to plan for him, and even Qin Wangji handed over the Feilian Army to him.

It can be said that from beginning to end, Qin Wangji did not feel sorry for him.

But he betrayed Qin Wangji's trust, which was unacceptable to Bai Qi, who was arrogant in his heart.

However, in Wei Ran's opinion, it is indeed a good thing.

There are two main reasons why Bai Qi made King Qin jealous, one is prestige, and the other is character.

The prestige is too high!

The character stinks!

If it weren't for Bai Qi's ability to fight, Qin Wangji would have killed him a long time ago, how could he endure him for decades.

Now that both problems have been solved, Bai Qi's life has been saved.

"Marquis." Bai Qi strode after him.

"Leave me alone, go back and tell the king, take care of the families of all the soldiers who died for the Qin army." Wei Ran said loudly.

He and Bai Qi have one thing in common, that is, his prestige in the Qin State is too high.

However, he is Qin Wangji's uncle, as long as he does not rebel, Qin Wangji will not kill him.

But as long as he is in one day, his children and grandchildren will be suppressed for one day.

Only when he dies will his children not be oppressed and will be under his shadow

Skyrocket.

Bai Qi stopped, looked at Wei Ran's back, bowed, and resolutely led the army away.

Wei Ran led an army of five thousand across the road, which happened to be in a valley, although the mountains on both sides were not high, but it was enough for defense.

Wei Ran ordered 2,000 soldiers to guard the slopes on both sides, and led an army of 3,000 alone to block the valley.

"General, the front is blocked by a mountain, so we won't go over." Lecheng led the Youyun Iron Cavalry to kill here, and a soldier pointed ahead and said.

"He's Nainai, where did Zhao Fei go, he won't run the wrong way." Le Cheng said in a deep voice, although this kind of terrain is not steep, but among the cavalry, only Zhao Feiqi can fly over, and even if the Youyun Iron Cavalry breaks the horse's leg, it is impossible to fly over.

What he didn't know was that Zhao Feiqi had already flown over, and now he was blocked in another pass.

In order to block the pursuit of the Zhao army, the Qin army built three passes along the way, although these passes are not easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it is not a problem to delay the Zhao army for a few hours.

However, the Qin army's plan was ruined by the Zhao army's gathering speed far beyond the ordinary army, and the Qin army had not yet reached the first pass, and the Zhao army chased after it from the rear.

Wei Ran could only lead the army to the rear of the palace.

And Zhao Feiqi is now facing the first pass arranged by the Qin army, which is a mountain range extending eastward from the Qinling mountain system, called Funiu Mountain, and the highest peak is called Lingshan, and the turbulent water flows through the foot of Lingshan.

It is said that it used to be called Yunshan, Qu Yuan came here, praised this place is really a spiritual mountain, and then people called it Lingshan.

It was once the border between the states of Qin and Chu, and the two countries fought many wars here.
