Yan Yan took Zhao Gao to meet Ying Zheng in the apse of Zhangtai Palace.

"Meet the King."

Ying Zheng: "The two Aiqing are exempt. ”

"King Xie."

Ying Zheng "sits." ”

Yan Yan and Zhao Gao sat down on the table brought by the chamberlain, and then the chamberlain of Shangshi Palace brought delicious food and wine.

Ying Zheng: "Does the Taishi think that the nobles will cooperate with the private soldiers in the palace?" ”

Yan Yan: "King, this matter depends on Lord Chefucheng." ”

Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Gao and said, "Zhao Aiqing, what do you think?" ”

Zhao Gao: "Your Majesty, Luo Wang has already gone to the mansion of the various scholars to find out their truth. ”

Ying Zheng: "Taishi, do you still need to send these people back after this battle?" ”

Yan Yan: "King, since he has been conscripted into the army, how can there be any reason to send it back." ”

Yan Yan continued, "These nobles of the scholar class have already sucked enough blood from the Qin State, and then they need to slowly spit out the benefits they have swallowed, otherwise..." ”

Zhao Gao: "King, the net will become the sharpest blade in the hands of the king, and you can find the handle of the nobles at any time." ”

Ying Zheng nodded, "Zhao Gao, it's up to you to do this!" ”

Zhao Gao: "Command." ”

Yan Yan: "King, this matter should not be rushed, it needs to be done slowly, so as not to let many nobles unite, and then it will be troublesome." ”

"Lü Buwei is firmly on the side of these nobles, so the king should pay attention to the relationship between Lü Buwei and these nobles."

"Next, when the minister leads the army to fight against the Chu army, it is better for the king to take Zhao Fucheng with him at all times."

Ying Zheng looked at Yan Yan, and seeing his solemn expression, he looked at Zhao Gao and said, "Zhao Gao, do you understand what Taishi means?" ”

Zhao Gao: "The minister understands. ”

Ying Zheng: "It seems that this Qin State is about to fall into a storm. ”

Yan Yan: "After this storm passes, it is the time for Hongqiao to appear. ”

"Qin State, after all, will stand at the top of this world."

Ying Zheng looked at Yan Yan with firm conviction on his face, he raised his wine and said, "Xiao Zheng, thank you, teacher." ”

Zhao Gao's heart beat violently, he heard what Ying Zheng claimed to be, he heard it right!

Ying Zheng sat in a high position, raised his glass with both hands, and saluted Yan Yan The picture did not dissipate in Zhao Gao's eyes for a long time.

In the palace of King Qin, the forces of Luo Wang can be said to be low-level personnel, and they can't infiltrate Ying Zheng's side at all, so they only know that the relationship between Ying Zheng and Yan Yan is a teacher-student relationship, and the current scene directly made Zhao Gao understand the meaning of Yan Yan's words at the beginning.

Yan Yan's food table is not wine, but tea, which is a special case.

The maids and maids of the entire Qin Palace's palace understand one thing, that is, this Taishi doesn't like to drink, and a few times they were requested by the King of Qin, and those few times also made the three chamberlains of Shangxi Palace, Shangguan Palace, and Shangshu Palace see the other side of King Qin, and that side King Qin is no longer the king of Qin, like a child.

At the end of a banquet, Yan Yan and Zhao Gao walked towards the outside of the palace together.

In the carriage, Yan Yan looked at the talisman in his hand.

Yan Yan: "Nothing can happen to the king, otherwise your ambitions will be frustrated, and the nets that have existed for hundreds of years will completely disappear from this world." ”

Zhao Gao's body was cold, and Yan Yan's calm tone was full of murderous aura.

Zhao Gao: "Master Tai rest assured. ”

Yan Yan: "I don't know what you want, but one thing will always be there. ”

Yan Yan looked up at Zhao Gao, "That is, everything you have needs a king to give, otherwise everything you have is empty talk." ”

"Cobwebs live on the beams and corners of the house, and the spiders that live on them can capture their prey."

Zhao Gao nodded.

In the next three days, the scholars, nobles, giant merchants, and princes of the entire Xianyang City were all sent to the Lantian camp outside the city under the personal participation of Yan Yan and Zhao Gao, and all the guards in the palace were sent to the Lantian camp outside the city, and these people were more than 16,000 people, which shows how many of these nobles, merchants, and relatives protect and protect Xianyang, and how huge the hidden danger of Xianyang is.

During the three days, Xianyang also issued a recruitment order, and all eligible people were incorporated into the heavy cavalry army, which was enough for 30,000 heavy cavalry troops and 70,000 infantry troops.

Three days later, the Lantian camp outside Xianyang City.

Ying Zheng stood on the high platform of the point general, looking at the strict Qin army below.

The heavy cavalry were each tall and strong, armed with spears, and their men and horses were shrouded in armor.

30,000 foot soldiers carry oxtail knives and hold crossbow machines; 20,000 foot soldiers with a large shield in one hand and a spear in the other; Twenty thousand foot soldiers are divided into groups of ten, and in the center stands a huge crossbow machine with crossbow arrows comparable to spears.

Ying Zheng handed the other side of the talisman to Yan Yan, who held two pieces of soldiers into a complete tiger talisman and held it high for the soldiers below to see.

Yan Yan" set off. ”

The black flag representing the march in the hands of the herald beside him waved to convey Yan Yan's order.

The snare drum sounded and the trumpet sounded.

The foot soldiers took the lead and began to advance out of the camp, and more than 3,000 improvised machine beasts on both sides began to set off.

These traps are in the form of oxen, with hollowed-out bodies, and are responsible for transporting the army's food and grass.

Naturally, the army could not leave in a day, and the heavy cavalry needed to remove their armor before they could set off.

After Yan Yan bid farewell to Yingzheng and the hundred officials, he summoned Meng Wu to the camp.

After Meng Wu entered, he saluted and said, "Taishi." ”

Yan Yan withdrew his gaze from the map of Neishi County, and he looked at Meng Wudao, "I have something here that you need to do. ”

Meng Wu: "Master, please speak." ”

Yan Yan: "You immediately go to Shang County, organize the county guards to enter a wartime state along the way, and organize the county guards to assist the army in building a defense line. ”

Meng Wu saluted and said, "The last general will do it." ”

Yan Yan "It doesn't matter if Wuguan is lost, but the Chu army must be blocked in Shang County and hold out for seven days." ”

"Can it be done?"

Meng Wudao: "The last general will swear to die, and he will do it." ”

Yan Yan: "Okay, let's go now." ”

"There are 5,000 light cavalry in the barracks, and you take them to go quickly."

Mengwu: "The last general commanded. ”

Meng Wu left and rushed towards Shang County with 5,000 light cavalry.

The army marched as planned.

The defenders of Wuguan were flanked by the Chu army inside and outside, with 50,000 Chu troops directly entering the pass from the land of Baiyue, and 200,000 Chu troops outside.

Yan Fang, the general of Wuguan, stood on top of the city and commanded the Qin army to attack the Chu army.

Fortunately, they are better equipped than the Chu army, and in three years, all the pass fortresses of the Qin State have been equipped with giant crossbows and hand crossbows, and the armor has also been replaced with new models, and their combat ability has been greatly improved.

But after all, Wuguan is only a small pass, and the garrison army is only 5,000 people, and the advantage of guarding the pass has also increased over time, and the casualties of the Qin army have continued to increase, and Wuguan is almost impossible to hold.

At this time, a personal guard ran up to the head of the city and said, "General, the latest military order in Xianyang." ”

Yan Fang took it, removed the seal and took it out to take a look, and after reading it, Yan Fang laughed and said, "Okay, good." ”

Yan Fang ordered, "Pass the order, hold on for two days, and retreat." ”

The herald knew about it, and then began to run towards the various lieutenants to convey Yan Fang's military orders.

Yan Fang looked at the truce Chu army, a happy smile appeared on his face, and the haze that was pressing on his heart completely dissipated.

After Meng Wu arrived in Shang County, he immediately summoned Chen Guan, the captain of the Shang County Guard, and asked him to lead the resident soldiers of the guard to start leading the people of Shang County to start relying on ordinary training to carry out fortifications in an orderly manner.

Han and Wei were in the camp of Mengfu.

Meng Fu received the latest military order from Xianyang, and asked him to send 20,000 Qin troops to the south along the two southern lands, wait for the Chu army to pass the Wuguan and take the Wuguan, and the Qin army led by Taishi to attack the Chu army inside and outside.

Meng Fu asked all the generals among the generals to be called.

Meng Wei looked at the six partial generals in the big tent and said, "Xianyang's latest order, let people lead 20,000 troops south to Wuguan, wait for the Chu army to march to Xianyang, capture Wuguan in one fell swoop, and then flank the Chu army with the reinforcements led by Taishi." ”

"Who wants to go?"

At this time, a partial general said, "General, I am willing to go." ”

Meng Fu looked at him and said, "Ganyuan, you should understand the importance of this trip." ”

The partial general Ganyuan said: "The end will understand." ”

"Okay, then you will lead the army south." ”

Gan Yuan stood up and said, "The last general will take the order." ”

Meng Fu "Set off immediately, the martial guard general Yan Fang will evacuate on the 28th of this month, and you still have five days." ”

Ganyuan" will not live up to its mission. ”

Shangjun, the border between Zhao and Qin, Wang Jian also received an order from Xianyang, asking him to defend the main thing.

Yan Yan led the Qin army after a three-day march, and there were still three days of road dust from Shang County.

At this moment, Yan Fang, the general of Wuguan, had already given up Wuguan, taking away the armaments in the city that could be taken away, and directly destroying those that could not be taken away.

Yan Fang withdrew with the remaining Qin army of less than 1,000 towards Shang County, and the Chu army did not pursue.

Wuguan.

Xiang Yan looked at this small pass, and actually caused the Chu army to lose a full 8,000 people, which was extremely annoying.

Xiang Yan recalled the giant crossbow machine that fired spears at the head of the Qin army, such a war machine, the entire Wuguan city head was densely packed, if it wasn't for the time it took to reload, it would cost two thousand people to take this pass.

It's a pity that when the Qin army withdrew, there was no complete armament in the entire city, otherwise it would have been possible to study and study.

Meng Wu saw Yan Fang, he listened to Yan Fang tell the information about the Chu army, and immediately sent it to Yan Yan after listening to it.

Yan Yan received Meng Wu's report and gave the latest order, telling Meng Wu to return to the car when he couldn't resist and lead the Chu army to a plain area behind Shang County.

Next, Yan Yan ordered to speed up the march, and he had to get to the place he designated within two days.

The speed of the Qin army has increased, and the speed of the Chu army is not slow.

After Xiang Yan asked the Chu army to rest in Wuguan for a day, he left 2,000 people to garrison and led the Chu army towards Shang County.

Along the road, the Chu army saw that the houses were demolished, and it was difficult to take away what could be taken, and those that could not be taken were destroyed on the spot.

The Chu army arrived in Shang County.

Meng Wu held out for a day under the offensive of the Chu army, and then withdrew with the Qin army towards the designated plain.

Xiang Yan began to command the Chu army in pursuit.

Yan Yan had already set up a large camp, and the Qin army was neatly dressed, waiting for the arrival of the Chu army.

A day later, the news of the Qin army and the Chu army led by Meng Wu was delivered to Yan Yan's eyes, so Yan Yan ordered to set up a formation and wait for the arrival of the Chu army.

Xiang Yan received information that the Qin army was coming to help, and ordered the pursuit to be stopped, and he sent someone to find out the news.

The reprimands of both sides fought together first, and then sent the information they heard back to their respective barracks.

In the big tent of the Qin army.

Yan Yan looked at Meng Wu and more than a dozen partial generals below and Yan Fang, the general of Wuguan, and he said, "General Yan, you and the Chu army have been facing each other in Wuguan for the longest time, you can introduce the general situation of the Chu army." ”

Yan Fang: "Taishi, the Chu army has the leadership of Xiang Yan, the general of the Chu State this time, and there is also the figure of Chunshenjun Huang Xiemenke Zhao Shi in the army, who is responsible for making suggestions. ”

"The number of the Chu army is about 230,000, and the soldiers in the main battle are about 150,000."

"Among them, there were 70,000 cavalry, 3,000 chariots, and the rest were foot soldiers and conscripts."

Yan Yan nodded, "Sit down." ”

Yan Yan: "General Guo, you lead 10,000 heavy cavalry to be responsible for the chariot soldiers in the Chu army, as long as the chariot soldiers in the Chu army are dispatched, then you will directly charge them." ”

General Guo, who was named by Yan Yan, stood up and said, "The last general will take orders." ”

Yan Yan: "The two generals Feng and Hu obeyed the command and could not attack at will. ”

The two of them got up and said, "The last general will take the order." ”

Yan Yan "General Meng. ”

Meng Wu: "Master, please speak." ”

"You're in charge of front-line command."

Meng Wu stood up and said, "The last general will take orders." ”

Yan Yan: "General Yan Fang. ”

Yan Fang: "The end will be. ”

"You first rest and reorganize the surviving soldiers of Wuguan, and when the time comes, you will be allowed to fight."

Yan Fang: "The last general commanded. ”

Yan Yan "Tonight, we will increase the warning to prevent the Chu army from attacking at night." ”

"Yes."

The Great Tent of the Chu Army.

Xiang Yan was also arranging military operations, and after arranging tomorrow's war one by one, he issued the same order.

The night was peaceful, and the smoke was everywhere in the morning.

At noon, the drums of war beat and the two armies confronted each other on the plain.

On the high platform of the two armies, Yan Yan and Xiang Yan were observing the front at the same time.

The Qin army was under the command of Meng Fu, with shield soldiers in front, spears in front diagonally, crossbowmen in the back, and giant crossbows in the rear.

With Meng Fu's order, the ten people around the giant crossbow began to load the spear-like giant crossbow arrows, and with the operation of the Qin army, the bowstring of the giant crossbow was full, and then the angle was calibrated.

Meng Fu looked at the Chu army, which had been slowly advancing, and ordered, "Launch." ”

Red flags fell in the Qin army, and the shield and crossbowmen standing in front made way for the gap.

Then the sound of collapse, collapse, and collapse continued to sound, and even the footsteps of the Chu army could not be covered.

Two thousand giant crossbows made the sound of reaping life.

The crossbow bolts of the giant crossbow passed through the Chu military array, penetrated the bodies of several people, and then strung up a string of sugar gourds, which were red and bright.

The sugar gourds were still wailing, they knew they felt their lives were being lost, but no one could save them.

After firing a round, the crossbowman began to fire a crossbow into the sky, and the crossbow arrows, which were too short for bows and arrows, fell from the sky like raindrops, and smashed on the heads, shoulders, and bodies of the Chu soldiers, splashing water and flowers.

The giant crossbow launched another wave, and the distance of the Chu army was no longer enough for the giant crossbow to continue firing, so only raindrops could fall in the sky, washing away the belief of the Chu army.

Meng Wu ordered the shield soldiers at the front to advance in formation, and the crossbowmen, under their cover, followed forward, and the sky continued to drop crossbow arrows.
