I’m The King Chapter 285: :The curtain falls
;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 a huge risk. His 200,000 army is now completely out of touch, and the generals and soldiers are all scattered Running towards Hangu Pass, the front one has arrived near Hangu Pass, while the last one is still hundreds of miles away from the 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 the Qin State at least Losing Hangu Pass in ten years means that in the next few years, Qin will face passive defense, and this is definitely not what Li Xin wants to see.
Ten years is the goal that Yingteng set for King Wulie of Qin. In Yingteng's heart, Hangu Pass must be lost. Of course, Yingteng closed it with satisfaction amidst the soaring Qin battle song In the eyes of Qin, the strategic goals formulated by Qin State before the war have all 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 of old age Much better in bed.
If Ying Teng knew that Li Xin was adopting such a crazy strategy at this time, he would jump out of **** and beat Li Xin with anger. If Zhao Mu saw through it and attacked him directly, Li Xin's army is in danger, even if it dies with Zhao Jun, it will definitely be unfavorable to Qin.
Looking at the world, the Qin State is full of enemies, and the other six countries in the Central Plains are noisy, but there is no hatred of life and death, but it is different for the Qin State. Once Li Xin's 200,000 troops are lost, The state of Qin is 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 swung his troops and fought to the death with Li Xin, Li Xin would surely be wiped out, but what about himself? How much of Zhao's army would be left?
At present, the six countries have united again in order to fight against Qin, but if the main force of the 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 would laugh and wave their troops to attack, beating Zhao Guo and Qin Guo completely together.
Li Xin is so weak now that he has traveled thousands of miles to fight. Even the most powerful army will become weak, let alone Li Xin fought a battle with the Xiongnu on the grassland?
Knowing all of this, knowing that this is the best opportunity, but Zhao Mu cannot 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, At the most critical time, other countries will lend a helping hand, and only in this way can Zhao be preserved.
Zhao Mu sat blankly in the middle of the big camp, watching the moon set and the sun rise. In one night, he aged too much. No matter how you look at it, he doesn't look like a man in his early forties.
Every quarter of an hour, Qin Jun 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, Zhao Jun standing beside Zhao Mu The generals all looked at Hangu Pass not far away with grief and indignation. At this moment, they really realized what it means that a cooked duck will 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 far away, so far away, he was the first The one who attacked the city wall of Hangu Pass was also the closest to the king's flag, but in the end, he got nothing.
Above the pass of Hangu, more and more elites of the Qin army appeared, and a large flag was fluttering, surrounding the king's flag in the middle.
"Congratulations to General Zhao Mu!"
Suddenly, there was a shout like a tsunami from the top of the city.
"Congratulations to General Zhao Mu!"
Hearing this ironic shout, Zhao Mu swayed and couldn't hold on any longer, his eyes darkened, he opened his mouth, a mouthful of blood spewed out, and fell on his back.
"Great general!" Zhao Jun's camp was in a panic.
"Withdraw the army, withdraw the army, return to the Hedong camp!" Zhou Changshou shouted sharply.
Above 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 **** off, he will definitely make a comeback."
"Very well, I also hope that he will not be **** off, 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 the only time, and this is not an example. If you go into battle naked like this again, Li Xin will leave with his seal." Li Xin cupped his fists, bowed, and said seriously.
"It's the same as uncle!" King Qin Wulie looked at Li Xin, dissatisfied and authentic. "By the way, can that kid Yingying get Ye Mang's head back?"
"Naturally!" Li Xin said confidently. "Your Majesty, 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 Ying Teng 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 hope I want you to conquer the world for me! 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 you 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 step up Just be careful. 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, which can be regarded as a true heart-to-heart.
"I understand!"
"You are temporarily stationed in Hangu Pass, don't go back to Xianyang. I will send my uncle's coffin back to Xianyang for burial."
"The king wants to help the spirit himself?"
"Uncle deserves his credit. You should kowtow to uncle later. Don't go back to his funeral. When the time comes, 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 Yingteng died in this battle. It was the Qin army. It 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' harassment of them, but they were able to focus on dealing with the Central Plains from then on. The Six Kingdoms, moreover, they have kept the Hangu Pass. The worst aspect of the implementation of this strategy is that the Hangu Pass will be lost, and Qin will face a passive situation for several years, but now, none of this will happen.
Ye Tiannan plotted 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 he launched it, Zhao State was caught off guard and the leader of Yan State was changed, but he never expected that, Because of his 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.
However, he does not regret it.
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 the state of Qin gains advantage? The state of Zhao hasn't fallen yet, and the state of Yan will flourish under his own governance. The people of Qin competed in the world, maybe it was the country of Yan! Ye Tiannan has always been very conceited.
For all this happening, Gao Yuan, who is still a small character 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 opportunities to train troops under any circumstances. As a striker, Gao Yuan made a detailed training plan after entering the Zhao country. From Feng Fayong's mouth, Gao Yuan knew that this battle would probably not be fought.
Indeed, it was impossible to fight. Half a month after Gao Yuan entered Zhao State, the order suddenly arrived, and the Yan army was stationed there. Feng Fayong also left in a hurry. A day later, Feng Fayong returned to Gaoyuan with a bitter face. Day camp.
"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, half a day at night, Hangu The gate is ours."
"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, and the Qin State sent envoys, who are on their way to Handan. Li Xin rushed back when he heard that we hadn't captured the Hangu Pass. At that time, the armies of the other countries had all retreated."
Feng Fayong's face was extremely ugly, and Gao Yuan also understood very well. 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, naturally Very sad.
"Gaoxian Lieutenant, I'm here to say goodbye to you. There will be a period 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."
