Chapter 617 entered the west of the Kou River and shocked Xianyang

Of course, the first to know the news of Zhao Jun were still Qin Guo and Xianyang!

The land west of the river was still the territory that the Qin people had been operating for a long time, although Sun Gu led the Zhao army to cavalry, and almost with lightning speed captured the city of Pingshan on the border of Hexi.

But the news of Zhao's army entering the west of the Kou River was quickly spread.

Of course, Sun Gu didn't think about hiding it from the Qin State. After all, the purpose of his coming here was to muddy the waters.

It is not a bad thing to let King Qin know about his existence a few days earlier.

After getting Pingshan City to be attacked and occupied by the Zhao army, the entire Hexi County became a sensation. It's a pity that Hexi hasn't experienced the baptism of war for too long, and apart from closing the door and waiting for the king's order, the county guards of Qin can't think of a better way.

And this is the situation that Sun Gu wants most, and the road to the west of the army is almost all the way smooth.

At the same time, emergency documents from all over Hexi flew to Xianyang like snowflakes!

King Qin looked at this sealed emergency document, and he was also puzzled.

Where did this Zhao Jun come from? Isn't Hedong County still in the hands of the widows? How did Zhao Jun pass quietly from Hedong County, which has dozens of cities, without any news? Could it be that they fell from the sky?

The King of Qin, who couldn't figure it out, had no other way, even if he summoned Xiangguo Fan Sui into the palace to discuss.

At this time, Fan Sui can be said to be very busy.

The reason is not because of Zhou Wangji, although Zhou Wangji's territory is not large, but it is all a place of ointment!

In particular, several fires of the coalition army also helped him sweep away the aborigines of Zhou Wangji, which is simply not too cool.

In the past few days, Fan Sui has been busy arranging for the people and officials to go to the land of Zhou Wangji. This is all a shortage of fat. The King of Qin handed over this right to Fan Sui, which was also a reward for Fan Sui's advice to attack Zhou.

Naturally, in order to get the opportunity to get out of Zhou Wangji, the major clans almost broke the threshold of Fan Sui. came to run for the official, and the family family naturally did not come empty-handed, but in just a few days, Fan Sui had already eaten a lot of money.

Of course, this is a victory for the Qin State, but it is not a victory for Fan Sui.

Of course, the moment he heard the summons on the Internet, Fan Sui let the visiting family go unattended, hurriedly climbed into the carriage and headed for the Qin Palace.

Obviously, Zhou Wangji's incident once again told Fan Sui a truth - following the king is the only way to get promoted and make a fortune.

Soon, the carriage drove into the palace.

The palace gate guards who had already received instructions were also allowed to go all the way, and when they arrived at the square in front of the palace, there was a eunuch order waiting here.

Fan Sui suddenly realized that the matter of King Qin is probably not small!

Immediately, Fan Sui asked the eunuch Ling about the reason for his incident. It's just that it is a matter of military affairs, and the eunuch Ling dare not put his beak, so he immediately bowed slightly and said to Fan Suiyan: "If you are not a subordinate official, it is really a big matter, please forgive Xiangguo."

Fan Sui naturally didn't dare to persecute when he heard this, but his doubts in his heart were a little worse.

Could it be that the Battle of Los Angeles has been repeated?

It shouldn't be! The armies of Chu and Wei have been destroyed, and the Han army is even more on their side, only one Zhao State, with the ability of General Wang Yi, even if he can't take Yicheng and open up the Hanoi checkpoint, he will not be defeated by Lian Po, at least it is not a problem to hold the land of Zhou Wangji today!

What else could it be?

Could it be that he committed the matter of selling his official beard?

That shouldn't be, if it's really a crime, it's not the eunuchs of the palace who come to me, but the cool officials of the court, even if the king just wants to suppress himself, he shouldn't let the eunuch Ling come to greet him in person!

With doubts in his heart, Fan Sui quickly came to the outside of the council hall under the guidance of the eunuch order.

After packing up his mind a little, Fan Sui calmly stepped into it.

After a salute, King Qin was not polite, and moved the mountain of documents and letters to Fan Sui, and said, "Zhao Bing has tens of thousands of soldiers, like soldiers descending from the sky, they have entered the west of the Kou River!"

Fan Sui was also shocked when he heard this!

The Battle of Los Angeles has just ended, the Battle of Yicheng is in full swing, and the entire Qin State is cooking oil with fire, why did such news suddenly come out?

Fan Sui, who took the silk book, couldn't believe it, and after hurriedly reading the silk book in his hand, Fan Sui also frowned.

"Where did this Zhao army, which has tens of thousands of people, come from?" Fan Sui muttered the same question as King Qin's heart.

Although Fan Sui's words were very light, they were still heard by King Qin in this empty hall.

It's just that King Qin didn't discuss this issue with Fan Sui, although he himself was very surprised.

"The most important thing now is not to find out where this Zhao Jun came from, but how I, Great Qin, will deal with it." King Qin frowned and said, "From Pingshan City to Hangu Pass, if the Zhao army breaks through all the way, it won't take three or five days to reach the pass."

I have to say that King Qin is the British lord who has controlled the Qin State for decades.

Although the situation was very unfavorable, he still maintained a clear head and was able to quickly grasp the main contradictions.

Where did Zhao Jun come from, there was almost no suspense, it was nothing more than coming from Hedong in silence, and it was meaningless to pursue these now, and it would even cause turmoil in Hedong and Hexi.

The most important thing is to keep Hangu and ensure Guanzhong, the basic plate of the Qin State!

Hearing this, the old Fan Sui quickly calmed down, but the panic in his heart was deeper.

"My king, dare to ask how many troops does Hanguguan still have?" Forcibly suppressing the trembling heart, Fan Sui still asked this crucial question.

Taking a deep breath, King Qin replied, "Less than five thousand."

"How can it be so little?" Fan Sui asked in surprise.

It is no wonder that Fan Sui was so surprised, Hangu Pass, as the most important pass of the Qin State, almost hoarded heavy troops at any time to ensure the safety of Guanzhong and Xianyang.

Since Fan Sui became the prime minister, he has never seen less than 10,000 soldiers in Hangu Pass, even if Wang Di's army went east, almost on the day the army left, a force of nearly 10,000 people had already arrived at Hangu Pass from Xianyang.

Now, the strength of Hangu Pass should be at least 15,000 people, right!

"The Battle of Los Angeles ended, and the widows escorted the grain and siege ordnance to the front line of Yicheng with the soldiers of Hangu." King Qin sighed lightly and said briefly.

Obviously, after the victory of the Battle of Los Angeles, the King of Qin was a little careless. I only thought that the only opponent Zhao Guo was already too busy to take care of himself, and it was impossible to threaten his Hangu Pass, so out of economic considerations, King Qin directly dispatched Hangu's soldiers and horses to the front line to transport supplies.

Of course, the soldiers of Hangu sent can also make up for the loss of front-line combat power and help break through the city faster.

It should be said that such a "carelessness" is understandable, but at this juncture, the troops of the Zhao army did not relieve the siege of Yicheng, but came to the direction of Hangu Pass.

This is simply a copy of "Wei Wei to save Zhao"!

At this moment, it made King Qin's actions seem so stupid.

Of course, Fan Sui would never dare to say such words as "stupid".

Frowning, Fan Sui tried hard to calculate the chips in his hand in his heart: there are still nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses in Xianyang City, but in order to defend the palace city, at most 5,000 to 10,000 soldiers and horses can be transferred.

It's just that in the face of the tens of thousands of elites of the Zhao army, even if there are 15,000 people, they may not be able to withstand it!

You must know that judging from the information from the silk book, almost all of the people who attacked Pingshan City were elite cavalry. And there are twenty or thirty thousand fine horsemen alone, plus foot soldiers, not to mention fifty or sixty thousand. Although there is a natural danger in Hangu, it is extremely difficult for only 15,000 men and horses to block the attack of the Zhao army's 50,000 or 60,000 troops.

We have to increase our troops!

But where do you get the troops up?

Conscription in Guanzhong?

Not to mention the combat strength of the temporarily conscripted soldiers, even if they are to be recruited, they can't be completed in just a few days!

Mobilize the soldiers of Shu and Yan Ying?

The troops of Shuzhong and Yan Ying are quite enough, even if tens of thousands are transferred, they are not too worried about the bordering Chu State daring to make any moves, after all, they have just wiped out the tens of thousands of troops of the Chu State.

The king of Chu no longer has a long memory, and he will not have just lost tens of thousands of troops, and he will dare to provoke my Qin State.

But the problem is that in the land of Shuzhong and Yanying, the mountains are high and the roads are far away, and it is difficult for carrier pigeons to pass.

If someone is sent to deliver the letter, this time of coming and going is enough for the Zhao army to break through Hangu and advance into Xianyang.

The Army of the Righteous Canal?

It has only been more than ten years since Yiqu was annexed, although some Yiqu people gradually assimilated with the Qin people, but there are more Yiqu people who want to restore the country. Such an important matter is not to be handed over to the Yiqu people.

After calculating and thinking about it in this way, the only one who can solve the current crisis is Wang Di's army in Yicheng.

With the speed of the cavalry horses under the command of General Wang Di, the fastest is seven days, and the slow is ten days, and you can return to Hangu Pass. Fifteen thousand men guarding the mere area for three to five days should still be enough.

When the cavalry returned, there were tens of thousands of cavalry on the side, and it was almost impossible for the Zhao army to break the city again.

In this way, the siege of Hangu was solved, and the Zhao army was bound to retreat.

And if General Wang Yi led his army to block the road to the east, tens of thousands of Zhao troops would be in the middle, and the victory or defeat would be different.

Of course, it is not easy to block this Zhao army, but even if General Wang Ji fails to block the Zhao army, the worst result is just to give up the attack on Yicheng.

Although he lost an opportunity to defeat Zhao, with the land of Zhou Wangji entering Qin, it was worth the battle.

As long as the land of Zhou Wangji is still in the hands of Qin, the road to the east has been opened, and after the armaments are sorted out, it is not too late to raise the army!

Thinking of this, Fan Sui immediately bowed to King Qin and said, "My king, for today's plan, the first is to immediately strengthen the strength of Hangu Guanzhong, which can make Xianyang Wei send 10,000 troops, and travel to Hangu day and night."

"Yes." King Qin nodded slightly, and then continued: "It's just that these more than 10,000 people, most of them are old and weak, and they may not be the elite opponents of the Zhao army."

"Yes, of course." Fan Sui continued to nod and said, "You don't need them to hold on for too long, just hold on for five to seven days. With the danger of Hangu, there are more than 15,000 soldiers, how can they hold on to these few days."

"Five to seven days?" King Qin frowned and continued to ask, "What happens after seven days? Guanzhong is recruiting troops on a large scale?"

"Of course not." Fan Sui shook his head and said, "Not to mention that the time spent on a large-scale conscription is by no means something that can be completed in more than ten days. Besides, Guanzhong, the cornerstone of my Great Qin, once a large-scale conscription, it will also damage my Great Qin foundation, even if it is a battle in Changping, my king has not requisitioned the people of Guanzhong on a large scale, and now things are slowing down, why do you need to work in Guanzhong."

"What does Xiangguo mean?" King Qin seemed to have guessed Fan Sui's thoughts, but he was still frowning.

Obviously, King Qin did not want to give up this golden opportunity to attack Zhao.

It's a pity that there are some things that are not a matter of whether you want to or not......
