It is said that after the Wei army conquered Tongguan, they rested for three days, and Ran Min continued his westward expedition with 100,000 elite troops and entered Guanzhong.

Tongguan was lost, and the eight hundred miles of Qinchuan were already under the iron hooves of the Wei army.

In the entire pass, the young woman who was like a graceful demeanor and stripped naked was exposed in front of Wei Jun, a hungry and thirsty man.

After the Tong Pass, it is a horse Pingchuan, and there is no danger to defend in the pass.

The Wei army was like a rainbow, and won successive battles, successfully capturing Shangluo (Shangzhou, Shaanxi) and Qingni (Lantian, Shaanxi). When Pu Hong heard that Tongguan was lost, and even his beloved son Pu Jian was killed by the Wei army, and his remains could not be found, he couldn't help but be grief-stricken, and after crying for a long time, he couldn't afford to fall ill!

However, the speed of the Wei army's march was extremely fast, and at the behest of the ministers, Pu Hong finally cheered up and supported the sick body to dispatch troops.

The Wei army then inflicted heavy losses on tens of thousands of Qin troops led by Pu Xiong at Yaoliu (near present-day Lantian in Shaanxi), and marched all the way like a bamboo.

After hearing these bad news one after another, I have to say that Pu Hong's heart is still quite strong, although he is sick, but he can still endure the pain and find Yao Xiang.

"The King's ......"

Pu Hong was originally lying on the bed, but after Yao Xiang arrived, he forced his physical discomfort and walked to the chair and sat down step by step with Yao Xiang's support.

Pu Hong's forehead was wrapped in a white silk scarf, his face was haggard, he had lost a lot of weight, and his whole body exuded a sickly atmosphere.

"Jingguo, do you know why the widow came to you?"

Yao Xiang nodded heavily and said, "I know." The Wei army has captured Shangluo, Qingni and Yaoliu one after another, and the momentum is like a bamboo, and the troops are pointing directly at Chang'an! ”

"Jingguo, then can you solve problems for your father-in-law?"

"The king has orders, and the ministers obey their orders!"

"Good boy." Pu Hong sighed faintly and said, "Actually, my father-in-law has already regarded you as his own. I had already set up Pu Jian as the prince, but Pu Jian had died in Tongguan, and among my sons, the most outstanding was Pu Jian, who could take on the big responsibility, and his ability was not below me, followed by Pu Xiong. ”

"But Pu Xiong is more than enough, but he is not enterprising enough, and under Ran Min's troops, according to Pu Xiong's ability, he may not even be able to keep Guanzhong! Can you understand Jingguo? A hundred years later, his father-in-law was worried that he would hand over the Qin State into the hands of Puxiong and would eventually be annexed by the Wei State. ”

Hearing this, Yao Xiang couldn't help lowering his head, not letting Pu Hong see his face clearly, and said, "King, please rest assured." I will definitely assist Longxi Gong (Puxiong) well! ”

"No, you misunderstood me."

In order to show his cordiality, Pu Hong's self-proclaimed name for Yao Xiang is not "widow", but "me". ァ新ヤ(8)1 Chinese 網ωωω.χ8.1zщ.còм

Pu Hong grabbed Yao Xiang's palm in his hand, and said with true feelings: "Jingguo, I have the wisdom to know people, and your power is slightly no less than that of me and your father Yao Gong." I am the most relieved to put the Qin State in your hands. ”

"No, no, please don't say such things, the king." Yao Xiang was terrified.

Pu Hong said again: "Don't shirk yet. Jingguo, I want to entrust Qin Guo to you, this is my heartfelt words! If it weren't for the resistance, I really wanted to make you the prince, instead of making Puxiong the prince. Jingguo, I may not be dying, but I hope you can promise me one thing. ”

"Please, the king's command!"

"After a hundred years, you should support Pu Xiong to ascend the throne, if Pu Xiong can assist, you will assist, if you can't assist, you will replace him!"

"This ......"

This is a heart-wrenching word!

"The king, the ministers don't dare, they don't dare to be ashamed!"

"What's not to dare to do? Jingguo, now that the Wei army is pressing the border and approaching Chang'an, do you have a strategy to retreat from the enemy? ”

"This ...... The king, the minister thought that he should stick to Chang'an, and then asked Zhang Jun in Xiliang for help. With the solidity of Chang'an City, the general's intentions, and the soldiers' lives, it is not difficult to hold Chang'an! What's more, now that I heard that the Wei State has been invaded by the three kingdoms of Jin, Yan, and Dai, and the wolf smoke is everywhere, Ran Min should not be able to stay in Guanzhong for too long. ”

Pu Hong shook his head and said: "Guanzhong is already in danger, can we hold Chang'an?" Our war against the Wei army, it was repeated defeats, repeated defeats, almost never won a battle, the soldiers of our Qin army have long been demoralized, will have no fighting spirit, so how to fight? Chang'an stubbornly cares? ”

"This ......"

Yao Xiang hesitated on the surface, but in his heart he was scolding Pu Hong's old fox, an old treacherous and cunning!

said this to him Yao Xiang, didn't he want to arrange for Yao Xiang to lead the Qiang army under his command to fight?

But Yao Xiang couldn't help it, after all, people had to bow their heads under the eaves.

Yao Xiang immediately patted his chest and said, "King, don't worry. There are tens of thousands of horsemen under the command of the minister, on this plain, as long as the Wei army dares to attack, although the minister can't win a big victory, at least let them take advantage of it! ”

"Good!" Pu Hong suddenly couldn't hold back his face, and smiled happily: "Hahahaha!" I have long heard that Xiqiang has a horse, and there is no rival in the plains. Jingguo, with your words, I am much more relieved. ”

And behind the screen on one side, Pu Xiong walked out slowly.

"Father."

Pu Hong glanced at him: "Yuancai (Pu Xiong), are you dissatisfied with your father's promise to Yao Xiang?" ”

"Erchen doesn't dare."

"You don't dare, but you think so!"

"Father, please tell the truth. Although he Yao Xiang is obedient, but the Qiang people are unruly, especially this Yao Xiang, who has both the roughness of the Qiang people and the cunning taste of the Han people, I have to worry about whether this Qin State will change in the future if you entrust Yao Xiang with a heavy responsibility! ”

"Ridiculous!"

Pu Hong snorted coldly and said, "You actually have such an idea? Yuancai, Yao Xiang is indeed not as simple as you think, and because of this, such a talent is worth my use! ”

"Uh...... Father, do you want to use the Xiqiang Xiaoqi under Yao Xiang's command? ”

"Or what do you think? Hmph, we Di people are desperately working in front, how can we let the Qiang people not make some effort? Yao Xiang is also very cunning and silent, he wants to pick up ready-made cheap, wants to be anti-customer-oriented, and wants to occupy the magpie's nest! ”

Pu Hong said with a sinister face: "This time, Yao Xiang is difficult to ride a tiger. In a battle with the Wei army, regardless of victory or defeat, the power of the Qiang people will be sharply reduced and weakened again. ”

"But father, if Yao Xiang's military strength is sluggish, if the Wei army hits Chang'an City, and the soldiers are coming to the city, how can we hold on to it without so many soldiers and horses?"

"Stupid!" Pu Hong reprimanded angrily and said, "I have already asked Zhang Jun for help, maybe Xiliang's reinforcements are on the way now." Can't we do it for half a month? ”

Pu Xiong originally wanted to say that it might not be possible, because the originally impregnable Tongguan was breached by the Wei army so quickly, not to mention Chang'an City, whose fortifications were worse than Tongguan?

But thinking that his father was already sick, it was not appropriate to make a big fuss, so he didn't touch his moldy head.

In May, Pu Hong worshiped Yao Xiang as the Great Sima and led an army of 50,000 men to meet the Wei army from afar at Bailuyuan (near the Bahe River west of present-day Lantian in Shaanxi).

White Deer Plain.

The wind swept the clouds, and the sand and dust were everywhere.

The war drums thundered, and the flags were unfurled.

In front of the mighty Wei army array, a car pulled by six white horses was very conspicuous.

Ran Min can ride a horse, but he wants to show off, he wants to pretend to be 13, so it's really popular!
