Yin Jincheng.

Zhao He's king's carriage slowly entered the city surrounded by countless Zhao and Han soldiers.

The geographical conditions of Yinjincheng are quite easy to defend and difficult to attack. To the south is the Qinling Mountains and to the north is the Wei River. Only narrow passages in the east and west directions can be passed by the army.

However, after Bai Qi's defeated soldiers passed here, the guards in the city suddenly became panic and fled with Bai Qi, leaving only an empty city.

It sounds like the sad place of Qin. One hundred years ago, Yin Jin still belonged to the Xihe County of Wei. At that time, Qin raised 500,000 troops to attack Yin Jin, but was led by Wu Qi, the most famous general of Wei in the Warring States Period, and defeated the Qin army with a few defeated the city of Yin Jin.

It is precisely because of this that the Qin State seized this city decades later and immediately changed the name of Yinjin City to Ning Qin City.

Beside Zhao He was Bao Yuan and Le Yi. Bao Yuan was also standing on the chariot, frowning tightly. I wonder if it was because of an arrow on his shoulder.

Zhao He looked at Yin Jincheng in front of him and smiled: "Since Wu Zi, no one of the princes of the Central Plains can enter Yin Jincheng. I am here today, which is to show my prides of the Three Jins to be proud."

Bao Yuan let go of his eyebrows and smiled and said, "Wei was the leader of the Three Jins back then, and now Zhao is the leader of the Three Jins, which is also a kind of reincarnation."

Zhao He laughed and said, "Wu Zi's Art of War is also a masterpiece I have read many times. Now that I can come here, I have lived up to Wu Zi's teachings between the lines."

There are three major military books in this era, namely "The Art of War" written by Sun Wu, "The Art of War" written by Wu Qi, and "The Art of War" written by Sun Bin.

Among them, "Sun Bin's Art of War" is a family tradition of Sun Bin and has not been circulated in the world. Only "Sun Tzu's Art of War" and "Wu Zi's Art of War" that were presented to the princes have become must-read troops for generals in the world. These two are also recognized as the masters of military strategists.

While speaking, a messenger arrived quickly and delivered a letter to Le Yi, who was escorting Zhao He's car.

Le Yi opened the letter and saw a smile on his face, and said to Zhao He: "Master, you have contacted Lian Po."

Zhao He said oh, laughing, "Where are they?"

Le Yi said: "It's not far from the west of Xianyang, about a day away."

Zhao He nodded and said, "Very good, they are still relatively close to Xianyang. Immediately ask them to inform them to surround Xianyang immediately and don't let those guys who shouldn't escape escape!"

At the beginning, Zhao He's goal was not very big. The best situation was of course to win Guanzhong, but if Guanzhong was not won, it would be a good idea to win places like Hedong and Yiqu.

But as the saying goes, the plan did not change quickly. After Ji County and Hangu Pass won consecutive victories, Zhao He suddenly discovered that although the war had some twists and turns, it was much smoother in the end than he thought.

In the current situation, Qin State has almost been defeated by Zhao State.

Not to mention taking Guanzhong, or even taking Hanzhong further, or conquering Bashu and destroying Qin, it seems...isn't it impossible?

From this perspective, the most important thing next is not to conquer cities and territory, but to remove the entire ruling center of Qin.

As the saying goes, the snake cannot do without a head. As long as the ruling class is destroyed, no matter how large the Qin State is, it will be a mess, and there is no capital to confront Zhao State.

The "snake head" of Qin is naturally the King of Qin in Xianyang City.

Although King Yingji of Qin was defeated by Zhao He one after another in this time and space, Zhao He knew very well what a troublesome opponent this was.

In the time and space he had not traveled through time, Yingji won the battle between Qin and Zhao Changping, and almost unified China before his grandson Qin Shihuang.

If it weren't for Bai Qi's refusal to go to war, it wasn't for Pingyuan Jun's bravery to save the country, it wasn't for Xinling Jun's stealing of the talisman to save Zhao, Yingji's great cause of unification should be unstoppable.

Later, Qin Shihuang's unification was actually more on the shoulders of giants. This giant was undoubtedly Yingji, who had been in power for forty years, defeated the two hegemonic powers of Chu and Qi, and defeated the challenger Zhao, who challenged Qin's hegemony, and laid the foundation for Qin's unification of the world.

As long as such an opponent does not see the day when he is actually killed, Zhao He will never relax his vigilance.

Not to mention that there is Bai Qi, the Qin State, who is also a man who can create miracles.

Zhao He thought for a while and said, "If you pass the order, Lian Po can be anxious, but I will continue to advance steadily. The situation is very good at the moment. Don't make a rash move, don't give Qin any chance to turn the tables!"

Bao Yuan couldn't help but speak, "King, if this is the case, it will give Qin people some breathing opportunities to gather their troops."

For Bao Yuan, Qin is also a nightmare opponent. The disastrous defeat in the Battle of Yique is still vivid in his mind. He has never lacked the urge to revenge against Qin.

Zhao He smiled and said, "It's okay. If the King of Qin really plans to gather all the troops in Xianyang to defend the enemy, it would be better for me!"

Bao Yuan was stunned for a moment, then was stunned.

I have to say that this tactic of gathering the enemy and making dumplings is really in line with the domineering style of the King Zhao in front of me.

Bao Yuan is not the only Korean who is silent.

In Xinzheng City, King Han was also shocked by the news that Han Qi brought back.

"What, do you say that the people of Zhao have already broken through Hangu Pass?"

The Grand Tutor Han Qi stood in front of King Han and said very seriously: "Yes, the king, Zhao State has conquered Hangu Pass, and this matter will soon be known to everyone in the world."

King Han only felt his head buzzing suddenly, as if the whole world in front of him suddenly became unreal.

The Han King knew how difficult it was to fight Hangu Pass.

Because Hangu Pass itself is located on the border between Qin and Han, and ten years ago, the three countries of Qi, Han and Wei besieged Hangu Pass, the prince at that time, King Han, who was still the crown prince, also assisted his father in handling many affairs about Hangu Pass, and was also witnessed by the war ten years ago.

After three years, the Qi, Han and Wei coalition forces finally broke the Hangu Pass with the powerful national strength and military strength of the three kingdoms combined with the combined power of the three kingdoms.

What's the result now?

Zhao Guo actually brought a South Korea with him, and he was also a South Korea who was half-hearted and obviously unwilling to cooperate well. It took less than half a year to break the Hangu Pass?

Is it weaker than ten years ago?

That is definitely not.

You should know that Qin State now won the Battle of Yique, defeated Qin State, and defeated the overlord Qi State, and Qin State, which won the Battle of Yan and Ying State. Such Qin State will only be stronger than ten years ago!

But now...

King Han took a deep breath and suddenly remembered something very terrible.

Zhao State had just broken through Hangu Pass, but at this time I asked Bao Yuan to withdraw his troops from Hangu Pass?

King Han suddenly felt a little dizzy and had the urge to slap his two big ears.

He couldn't help but ask, "Where is Baoyuan?"

His heart was completely raised to his throat.

This storm must not be at this time...

Fortunately, the next moment, Han Qi's answer made King Han calm: "Please rest assured, King, Bao Yuan rejected the old minister and did not choose to withdraw his troops."

King Han immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Bao Yuan is a little brainy, and now he doesn’t need to worry about the anger from King Zhao.

etc.

King Han suddenly felt something was wrong.

After thinking about it, King Han asked, "What do you mean is that Bao Yuan refuses my order to withdraw the troops?"

Han Qi nodded very seriously and said, "By the king, that's true."

King Han asked: "Is it before Zhao State breaks through Hangu Pass or after breaking through Hangu Pass?"

This order of the front and back is actually very particular.

If Bao Yuan rejected the order of King Han to withdraw his troops before breaking through Hangu Pass, what does this mean?

This shows that Bao Yuan is determined to be a lackey in Zhao State, and he is not even willing to listen to the orders of King Han.

But if Bao Yuan chooses not to withdraw his troops after breaking through Hangu Pass, then he is considering the future of South Korea and a Korean hero who can judge the situation.

King Han stared at the Grand Tutor Han Qi in front of him, waiting for Han Qi's answer.

Han Qi said with great certainty: "When I came back to the king, I rushed to the camp outside Hangu Pass to see Bao Yuan, the night before Hangu Pass was captured. There are many famous witnesses to testify for this matter. Please understand the truth."

With a bang, King Han's fist hit the table in front of him, his face full of anger.

"This Bao Yuan was a shame before. I thought he was confused for a while, but I didn't expect that. It seems that he must be a lackey of Zhao people!"

King Han was so angry.

The King of Han actually attaches great importance to the talent of the King of Han. Otherwise, with the King of Han's personality, even with the support of Zhao, he would have already found a way to deal with the King of Han.

If you cannot remove Baoyuan's position openly, it does not mean that you cannot kill Baoyuan.

It was because of his more or less talent in his heart that he knew that South Korea still needed a powerful general like Bao Yuan, so the King of Han kept his dissatisfaction with Bao Yuan within a certain range and did not choose to take action to the death.

But now this situation...

King Han really regrets it. He should have killed this bastard!

Han Qi advised from the side: "Your Majesty, don't be angry anymore. Now that Bao Yuan has followed King Zhao into Guanzhong, he has no choice but to do it for a while. He can only wait until Zhao will try to find a way to deal with him."

King Han sighed long and said, "That's all. By the way, Grand Tutor, do you think I want to go to see King Zhao?"

Although he was reluctant, the King of Korea knew very well that in this situation, South Korea's admission was necessary.

Han Qi said: "The king is so good, that's right. Now Wei's unauthorized withdrawal of troops has angered King Zhao. As long as the king takes a humble attitude, the king of Zhao will definitely have greater dissatisfaction with the King of Wei. If Zhao attacks Wei at that time, Wei will definitely not sit still and wait for death. It will inevitably offer many generous conditions to ask the king for help. At that time, Dahan can get along with both sides, advance, attack and retreat, and defend."

King Han's brows then spread and praised: "Very good, then you go down and ask someone to start preparing gifts. When Zhao State is in charge, I will go and have a play with King Zhao."

Not to mention how the Han monarchs and ministers were secretly intrigue, they said that in the capital of Wei, the tense atmosphere had completely spread.

After Xue Gong Tian Wen of Xiangbang suddenly chose to escape, the King of Wei ordered the blockade of Daliang City almost immediately, followed by a large-scale raid.

Most of Tian Wen's confidants escaped from Daliang City with him, but there were also many less important minions who worked for Tian Wen, such as officials in the Xiangbang official office, who usually walked closely with Tian Wen, or liked to curry favor with Tian Wen, etc., and some wanderers in the market, and many people were there.

Then, the open space outside the vegetable market in Daliang City became very busy.

Hundreds and thousands of people are beheaded here every day. Without exception, the charges are "Tian Wen's rebellion accomplices". Many people and their families are implicated. The bodies of abandoned cities in the streets are piled up into a small hill. It is the hot summer season. Countless flies and strange nauseous bugs are crawling on the corpses. The scene is extremely disgusting.
