Chapter 726: Entering Qin Pass

"Grandpa is the one you killed! I want to kill you!" The young man roared angrily, his eyes red, like a crazy little wild beast. Zhao Yun put the young man down. The young man immediately wanted to take action again. Zhao Yun cried out, "Stop!" The young man was captured by his power and couldn't help but be stunned on the spot.

Zhao Yun squatted down in front of the boy and said, "Little brother, you must have misunderstood! We have just arrived at this place. We are the Qin army under the command of the King of Qin! Tell me, what exactly happened here?"

The boy was stunned for a moment and hurriedly looked at the big banner behind Zhao Yun. The embroidered on it was indeed a big word "Qin"! The hatred on the boy's face disappeared without a trace. He sat on the ground with a plop, burst into tears...

Ailang led a large army to Mianchi County. Zhao Yun caught Ailang. Ailang looked at the empty and messy city and couldn't help but frown, "What's going on?" Zhao Yun frowned and said, "It's Liu Bei. He should have received the news of our army's upcoming arrival, so he forced all the people to move westward. Not only that, those who resisted were killed by them on the charge of collusion with the enemy. Hundreds of corpses were found inside and outside Mianchi!" Then he said angrily: "I really didn't expect! The great Han emperor uncle, full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, was so violent and cruel! What Dong Zhuo did when he moved westward was just like this!"

Ai Lang cursed inwardly. Then he thought of a statement he had read in modern society, that is, when Liu Bei retreated from Xinye and other places, he forced the people to retreat with him like Dong Zhuo, and thousands of people died on the way. However, later Confucian scholars completely embellished this matter. The people who died were either said to be accidental deaths on the road, such as falling into the water, or they were killed by Cao's army. In short, Liu Bei's royal orthodox is not at all wrong. He was completely out of benevolence and righteousness, and out of the heart of saving these people, he did not allow them to harm Cao Cao, and took them to escape with them. However, this statement was completely incompatible with what Ai Lang and his friends saw.

In fact, this kind of thing cannot be said to be noble or cruel. Whether it is Dong Zhuo or Liu Bei, the migration of the people is nothing more than because the people are the most important resource of this era. With the people, there are soldiers, and there are people to reclaim fields and weave cloth and spin. In short, the resource of the people is the basis for all the princes to achieve hegemony. Everything is for themselves, so what is the absurd thing like benevolence, righteousness and morality.

After hearing Zhao Yun's words, Ailang couldn't help but curse, "Liu Bei is really a kind and righteous gentleman!" Guo Jia said sarcastically, "Liu Bei has always deceived the people with benevolence, righteousness and morality. In fact, how much difference is there between the people and pigs, dogs, cattle and sheep in his place!" Ailang nodded and asked Zhao Yun, "Where is Liu Bei's army now?" Zhao Yun said, "The last general has sent scouts, but there is no reward yet." Guo Jia said, "According to the current situation, Liu Bei must have planned to give up all areas east of Qin Pass, including Hongnong. They want to rely on the natural danger of Qin Pass to resist our army." Ailang immediately said, "Leave two thousand people to clean up the mess, and the rest of the troops will immediately follow me to Qin Pass!"

Ailang's army advanced westward and arrived at Hongnong a few days later. However, Hongnong in front of him was already an empty city. Although the people were missing, even the various supplies in the city were moved cleanly. The Hongnong City had completely become an empty shell.

Ailang led the army into Hongnong. That night, the scout came to report: "Report to the King of Qin, Liu Bei's flag appeared above Qin Pass!" Ailang was a little surprised and looked at Guo Jia and said: "Liu Bei actually came to guard Qin Pass in person!" Guo Jia thought: "Liu Bei attaches so much importance to Qin Pass? It seems that they are planning to use Qin Pass to destroy our army's spirit and then find an opportunity to defeat our army!" Ailang smiled and said: "I think it's pretty, but I won't let them get what I want!"

Early the next morning, Ailang led his army to Qin Pass. Before noon, the army arrived outside Qin Pass. Ailang sat on the Red Rabbit Horse and looked at Qin Pass. He saw that the originally abandoned Qin Pass had been renovated by Liu Bei. A tall wall of bricks and stones lies across the towering mountains, completely blocking the access of his own army. On the hills on both sides of Qin Pass, there were flags and figures of people, and Liu Bei's army was waiting for battle.

Ailang was not in a hurry to attack Qin Pass, and ordered the army to set up camps under Qin Pass.

When Qin Pass came to Qin Pass, Zhang Fei laughed loudly and said proudly: "That boy Lu Bu is scared!" Then he clasped his fists at Liu Bei who was beside him and said, "Brother, the enemy is tired from afar. Tonight I will lead an elite force to rob the camp, which will definitely scatter their spirits!" Liu Bei shook his head and said, "Third brother should not be reckless. The Qin army has been through a long battle formation, how could it be without preparation? Then Lu Bu is fine, but Guo Jia is a talent comparable to Kong Ming Shiyuan. With him by Lu Bu, we must not act rashly." Zhang Fei felt depressed and stopped talking. Liu Bei ordered: "Tell all troops to guard against each other! Without my order, no one should go to fight without authorization! Dispose of military law by violators!"

As night fell, there was still a busy scene in the Qin army camp. The officers and soldiers in the army were cutting down trees and making various siege equipment under the guidance of technicians.

In the big tent, Ai Lang was talking to everyone. Zhao Yun said: "The terrain around Qin Pass was investigated, and it was as dangerous as historical records would be described! Although there may be a small path to go around, looking at the mountain, even if there is a small path, it can only pass through light troops with a small scale. This will not play any role in the current war, but will fall into danger! The terrain feels that if you want to enter Guanzhong, you can only break the Qin Pass now!"

Guo Jia couldn't help but say, "The danger of the sacredness of the sacred Han is not ordinary. The Qin State used this to resist the attacks of the six-nation coalition forces many times! If it were not for the sacred Han, there would be no Qin Shihuang who would later unify the Liuhe!" Everyone couldn't help frowning when they heard him. Wen Chou raised his eyebrows and shouted, "He Liu Bei is not Qin Shihuang! We are not the useless sacred coalition forces at that time! I don't believe that we can't break the Qin Pass!"

Guo Jia gave Wen Chou a thumbs up and praised: "General Wen Chou is no longer right!" Then he clasped his fists at Ailang and said: "King Qin, I have a trick." Ailang smiled and said: "Guo Fengxiao has a trick! Tell me quickly!" Guo Jia smiled and said: "The King of Qin has been too much. Actually, this is not a trick." Then he said his trick. Ailang laughed and praised: "Good plan! Good plan!" Then he returned to the command case and sat down, picked up his pen and wrote an order. He stood up and shouted to Dian Wei: "Old Dian!" Dian Wei immediately stepped forward, clasped his fists and said: "Lord, what are the instructions?" Ailang walked to Dian Wei, handed the order to Dian Wei, and ordered: "Transfer it to the commander's fast horse immediately, and send it to Hanzhong as fast as possible!" Dian Wei took the order, responded to promise, and hurried down.

After Qin Guan, Liu Bei paced back and forth in the hall, frowned slightly, looking a little worried.

At this time, Zhang Fei stepped in from outside, clasped his fists at Liu Bei and said, "Brother, the food and supplies transported from Chang'an have arrived..." Liu Bei nodded and continued to pace there, looking absent-minded. Seeing this, Zhang Fei was very surprised and couldn't help asking, "Why are you so worried?" Then his heart moved, he laughed loudly, and said carelessly: "Brother, don't worry about that boy Lu Bu! With me here, he can't enter Qin Pass!"

Liu Bei shook his head and frowned and said, "I'm not worried about Lu Bu, I'm a little worried about Ma Chao's movements in Hanzhong!" Zhang Fei was stunned and then smiled and said, "What's there to worry about? Didn't Kong Ming say that Ma Chao must be careful of his second brother's army at Jiameng Pass? Besides, Kong Ming has already arranged troops in a dangerous place in the south. Even if Ma Chao comes to raid our Guanzhong, he can only return with blood and blood. Don't worry!" Liu Bei felt that what Zhang Fei said made sense, and he was originally worried.

I couldn't help but let go a lot. Zhang Fei laughed and said, "This is not good for my brother, I'm always too cautious!" Liu Bei was unhappy, but he smiled slightly. Then he remembered what Zhang Fei said just now and asked, "The third brother said that the food and supplies have been transported?" Zhang Fei nodded, clasped his fists and said, "The 200,000 food and supplies have been transported. Brother, you have to go and see it." Liu Bei smiled and said, "Third brother has to see it. Can I feel anything else to worry about Brother Yu?" Zhang Fei smiled.

Liu Bei thought of Lu Bu's army outside the city and asked, "Did the enemy troops outside the city have any movement?" Zhang Fei showed a contemptuous expression and said, "Isn't it just knocking and rushing to build siege equipment? That's useless!" Liu Bei nodded, with a look of thought on his face.

Early the next morning, war drums sounded in the mist in the morning. After receiving the report, Liu Bei hurried to the city wall and suddenly saw that hundreds of thousands of Qin troops were already arrayed before Qin Pass! The overwhelming momentum was even more amazing than yesterday!

Liu Bei was secretly shocked. He couldn't help but look at the soldiers around him. Seeing that the officers and soldiers were so scared, he felt that the situation was a little bad. He immediately shouted: "My men of the Han Dynasty! Don't be afraid! This Qinguantian could resist the millions of coalition forces of the six Eastern countries back then. What is the hundreds of thousands of troops of Lu Bu's rebels? The final victory must belong to us!" When the soldiers heard this, their originally panic-like mood could not help calm down. Liu Bei continued to say

: "Lu Bu is a jackal, and his army is all cruel and violent! If they break Qinguan and enter Guanzhong, I will not be willing to die. However, our parents will die tragically under the sword of the Qin army, and our daughter and wife will be ravaged by them! We must not let this happen!" Such words immediately aroused great fear in the hearts of the soldiers, and then made them feel desperate. The atmosphere at the scene was completely different from before.
