Chapter 285: The Curtain Comes Down

; Li Xin is back!

In order to keep Hangu Pass and Qin State's strategic advantage in conquest of the Central Plains, Li Xin took great risks. His 200,000 troops are now completely out of touch. Running wildly through Hangu Pass, the front ones have already arrived near Hangu Pass, while the last ones are still hundreds of miles away from their destination.

If the commander is changed to Yingteng, he will never dare to do so. Li Xin, who is more advocating offense in his bones, has a crazy adventurous spirit flowing in his blood. Keeping Hangu Pass can save Qin at least ten years. , Losing Hangu Pass means that in the next few years, Qin will face passive defense, and this is definitely not what Li Xin wants to see.

And ten years is exactly the goal that Yingteng set for King Wulie of Qin. In Yingteng's heart, Hangu Pass must be lost. Of course, Yingteng closed his eyes contentedly in the midst of the soaring Qin battle song , all the strategic goals set by Qin State before the war have been achieved. As for myself, I am in my 60s, and a general can die on the battlefield. Is there a better destination than this? It is better than dying in bed Too much.

If Yingteng knew that Li Xin was adopting such a crazy strategy at this time, I wonder if he would jump out of hell and beat Li Xin up. If Zhao Mu saw through it and attacked him directly, Li Xin's The army is in danger, even if it dies with the Zhao army, it will definitely be disadvantageous to Qin.

Looking around the world, Qin State is full of enemies, and the other six countries in the Central Plains are quarreling, but there is no life-and-death hatred, but it is different for Qin State. Once Li Xin's 200,000 troops are lost, Qin State will be in danger.

Li Xin knew Zhao Mu, so he did this.

And Zhao Mu did retreat in the end.

Zhao Mu is famous all over the world, it is not for nothing, if he did not see Li Xin's sternness and risky strategy, then it must be wrong, but for Zhao Mu, the interests of the Zhao country are above all else, if he wields The soldiers attack and fight to the death with Li Xin. Li Xin will certainly be wiped out, but what about himself? How much of Zhao's army is left?

At present, the six countries have once again united to fight against Qin, but if the main force of Zhao army and the main force of Qin are lost at Hangu Pass, the other five countries will never feel grateful for Zhao's benevolence and bravery. On the contrary, they will Laughing loudly, he waved his troops and attacked, beating both Zhao Guo and Qin Guo completely unable to stand up.

Li Xin is very weak now, moving thousands of miles to fight, even the most powerful army will become weak, not to mention Li Xin fought a battle with the Xiongnu on the grassland?

Knowing all this, knowing that this is the best opportunity, but Zhao Mu could not give the order to attack, Zhao State must maintain a strong army, able to contend with Qin State, even if it has always been inferior, as long as this is the case, in the most critical Only then will other countries lend a helping hand, and only in this way can Zhao be preserved.

Zhao Mu sat blankly in the middle of the camp, watching the moon set and the sun rise, he had aged too much overnight. No matter how he looked at it, he didn't look like a man in his early forties.

Every quarter of an hour, the Qin army will accumulate more manpower, their combat effectiveness will recover by one point, and Zhao Jun's chances will decrease by one point. At this moment, the generals of the Zhao army standing beside Zhao Mu, They all looked at Hangu Pass not far away with grief and indignation. At this moment, they really realized that a cooked duck can fly away. They are not stupid, and they all understand Zhao Mu's pain.

Zhou Changshou walked up slowly, bent down to support Zhao Mu, "General, retreat! It's meaningless."

Wu Zeng also came up and supported Zhao Mu's other arm, "General, we did our best."

Zhao Feng, who was a little farther away, squatted on the ground, hugged his head and cried, victory was in front of him, he was only one step away, but it was so close, so far away, he was the first to attack Guguan city wall, he was also the closest to the king's flag, but in the end, he got nothing.

Above the Hangu pass, more and more elite Qin troops appeared, and the banners were flying, surrounding the king's banner in the middle.

"Congratulations to General Zhao Mu!"

Above the top of the city, there was suddenly a shout like a mountain roar and a tsunami.

"Congratulations to General Zhao Mu!"

Hearing this ironic shout, Zhao Mu swayed, unable to hold on any longer, his eyes darkened, he opened his mouth, a mouthful of blood spewed out, and fell on his back.

"General!" Zhao Jun's camp was in a panic.

"Withdraw the army, withdraw the army, return to the Hedong camp!" Zhou Changshou shouted sharply.

On the top of the city, King Qin Wulie looked at Zhao Ying on the opposite side. Although there were still tears on his face, he smiled: "Li Xin, do you think Zhao Mu will make us mad?"

"Your Majesty!" Li Xin couldn't hide the tiredness on his face, "Zhao Mu won't be pissed off, he will definitely make a comeback."

"Very well, I also hope that he will not be mad at him, so that next time, I can defeat him head-on on the battlefield and avenge my uncle." A gleam of hatred flashed in King Qin Wulie's eyes.

"Your Majesty, this is only this time, and this is not an example. If you go into battle naked like this again, Li Xin will leave with your seal." Li Xin clasped his hands, bowed, and said seriously.

"It's the same as my uncle!" King Qin Wulie looked at Li Xin and said dissatisfiedly. "By the way, can that kid Yingying get Ye Mang's head back?"

"Of course I can!" Li Xin said confidently. "Your Majesty, just wait for the good news!"

King Qin Wulie laughed loudly, "You said it, I naturally believe that you are very optimistic about this kid Yingying?"

Li Xin thought for a moment, "Going back to the king, just like General Yingteng was optimistic about you back then."

King Qin Wulie nodded slightly, "Li Xin, you are different from Yingteng, Yingteng belongs to the royal family, you are not, so, there are some things, you should not get involved too deeply, it will be bad for you. I still count on you I am going to fight the world! This time I came to Hangu Pass, and I left a will. If I die in Hangu, I will make Yingying king, not because I am very optimistic about Yingying now, but because of your 20 Wan Dajun. Everyone in Xianyang understands this truth. But now that you have passed this level, it will be different. You will be suspected and plotted against. I believe in you, but you have to be careful every step of the way. Yes. This is not a confrontation with the enemy on the battlefield, you can strategize and win thousands of miles, this time, you don't even know who your enemy is."

Li Xin straightened up, his back was full of cold sweat, King Qin Wulie had no doubts about him, so he opened up and said to him, it can be regarded as a real heart-to-heart.

"I understand!"

"You are temporarily stationed at Hangu Pass, don't go back to Xianyang. I will send my uncle's coffin back to Xianyang for burial."

"Your Majesty wants to help the spirit himself?"

"With uncle's merits, he deserves it. You should kowtow to uncle later. Don't go back to his funeral. At that time, there will be some troubles in Xianyang."

"I understand!" Li Xin nodded.

The first battle of Hangu Pass came to an end. The Qin army died tens of thousands of people in Hangu Pass. Even General Ying Teng died in this battle. Hangu Pass almost changed hands, but when everything was over, the victor was The Qin Army does not mean that they won this battle, but that they gained a great advantage in strategy. Not only did they clear up the Huns' raids on them, but they were able to focus on dealing with the six countries of the Central Plains from then on. Moreover, they have kept Hangu Pass. The worst aspect of this strategy is that if Hangu Pass is lost, Qin will face a passive situation for several years, but now, none of this will happen.

Ye Tiannan plotted for restoration. In order to overthrow the former king and Linghu family supported by Zhao State, he planned for ten years and contacted all parties. Once it was launched, Zhao State was caught off guard and the leader of Yan State was changed. But he never thought that, because of his From this action, it was Qin who benefited the most in the end. When the people of Qin did not attack Zhao, but went straight to the grassland, Ye Tiannan would have understood this point.

However, he has no regrets.

Because if he doesn’t do this, he won’t be able to come to power, and he won’t be able to come to power. How can he display his ambitions? So what if it’s Qin’s advantage? Zhao hasn’t fallen yet, and Yan will flourish under his own governance, and will compete with the Qin people in the future The world might be the country of Yan! Ye Tiannan has always been very conceited.

For all this happening, Gao Yuan, who is still a small role now, can't think about it, and he can't think about it. His current focus is to let his new army improve its combat effectiveness as soon as possible.

He can always find an opportunity to train troops under any circumstances. As a striker, Gao Yuan worked out a detailed training plan after entering the Zhao Kingdom. In his mouth, Gao Yuan knew that this battle would probably not be fought.

It was true that they could not fight anymore. Half a month after Gao Yuan entered Zhao State, the order suddenly arrived, and the Yan army stationed there. Feng Fayong also left in a hurry, and a day later, Feng Fayong returned to Gaoyuan's camp with a bitter face.

"It's over?" Gao Yuan looked at Feng Fayong's face, knowing that the result must not be too good.

"It's over. General Zhao didn't take down Hangu Pass, and the Qin army on the grassland rushed back at the last moment, so we had to retreat!" Feng Fayong was very annoyed, "I heard that it was only half a day's work, and half a day at night, Hangu Pass is ours. that's it."

"In other words, I can go home!" Gao Yuan didn't care much about the outcome of this battle, it was too far away from him.

"Yes, you can go home!" Feng Fayong nodded, "The war is over, Qin sent envoys, and they are on their way to Handan. The armies of several countries have already withdrawn their heads."

Feng Fayong's expression was extremely ugly, and Gao Yuan understood very well that in this war, Yan State took advantage, and Qin State also took advantage, and only Zhao State suffered a big loss. Feng Fayong, as a Zhao person, was naturally very sad .

"Captain Gao, I'm here to say goodbye to you. We'll meet later. I hope you will remember what Prime Minister Zi Lan said to you."

"Yan will not fail me, I will not fail Yan!" Gao Yuan said indifferently: "Thank you, Prime Minister, for your attention."
