Abide by laws and regulations, be loyal to the country and the king, this is the basic requirement for the Qianshou Head in Zhao Zheng. Specifically, even though the Qin army captured the city yesterday, once the Qin army established counties and set up official offices here, the Qianshou Head in the city would become a subject of the Qin State. He must be loyal to himself and the Qin State, otherwise he would be a traitor who could be punished by the clan.

Unfortunately, there are countless such traitors. As the old Chu land, Nanjun has not been completely assimilated in the past fifty years because of the mother country of Queen Mother Mi and Queen Mother Huayang, and the most traitors were the most; Nanyang County was in the Spring and Autumn Period, and during the Warring States Period, the countries fought each other, and geographically connected to the three places of Chu, Wei and Han. The local people did not obey, and there were many traitors. On the contrary, Xidi's military orders against the Chu army were disobeyed, but unfortunately Xidi was in the west of Nanyang, not in the northeast of Nanyang.

The Qin army had limited grain and fodder, and the 600,000 troops could only rely on Sanchuan County and Yingchuan County to supply corn. Fortunately, Sanchuan County was a land that was annexed last year. Seeing that the Chu army invaded Nanyang, the head of Xinqian would have the intention to rebel. It was too early to harvest grain in June. If their rebellion affected the collection and transportation of grain and fodder, the army withdrew due to no food or was defeated in the war, such consequences would destroy the Qin Dynasty.

Thinking of this terrible consequence, Zhao Zheng wrote on the bamboo slips written by the county magistrate of Yingchuan County, and then placed it on his right side. At this time, the barefoot Wei Liao had just entered the hall.

"What's wrong with Wei Qing?" It's related to the situation of the war. Wei Liao could enter the Mingtang of Qutai Palace without notice. Zhao Zheng was not surprised by his arrival.

Wei Liao was panicked, Zhao Zheng calmed down. Seeing the calm king, Wei Liao smiled bitterly on his face, and he said seriously: "Tell the king, Shangyi urgently: The people of Jing have already taken Tu and the mountains!"

"What is it?!" Zhao Zheng didn't know where Tuheshan was, but he knew where Shangyi was.

"Tell the king:" Wei Liao said again: "Shangyi came from: The people of Jing have already taken Tuhe Mountain ten miles east of the city."

It took Zhao Zheng about a second to react. He slapped the table with a palm and shouted angrily: "Where is Zhao Hai! Where is Wu Guan!!"

"Report to the king, the people of Jing should go up the Danshui and attack from Zhulin Pass to Shangyi." The information transmitted by Qin Feixun is very limited, but all the important places on Wuguan Road are numbered, and Tuheshan is naturally also included. Shangyi came and Wuguan was also reported later, which shows that Wuguan has not been lost. Wei Liao inferred that the Chu army went up the water and traveled from Danshui to Shangyi. From this, it can also be inferred that Danyang and Jingzi Pass were long captured by the Chu army.

"Danshui?" Zhao Zheng knew where the Danshui was and where it flowed, but he still found a map and looked at the Danshui on the map. "When will the Chu army arrive in Lantian?" His voice was a little chilled.

"Report to the king, Shangyi is only four hundred miles away from Xianyang," If Zhao Zheng's voice was a little chilled, Wei Liao's voice would tremble a little. He tried his best to control himself and tried not to show fear. "Although there is a Shiguan, Shiguan..., Shiguan..."

From Wuguan Road to the north of the Qinling Mountains, this is not a road, but several roads. Now we are walking on the road from Lantian - Lanqiao, Lanqiao - Yiguan, and Yiguan - Shangluo. But to the north of this road, there is also a valley, which can also lead to Shangluo through the Puhua Town - Laojun Gorge - Heilongkou Town of later generations.

This is the route taken by Xiuxijing Highway in modern times. The reason for avoiding the Lantian-Lanqiao-Yuguan section is because the Lantian-Lanqiao section is really difficult to travel, and it is flooded, so the roads are easily damaged. Now this section is still a wooden plank road, which is chiseled through the mountain wall, inserted into the Zhangliang, and laid wooden boards so that it can pass. The carriage era can be tolerated, but the automobile era cannot bear it.

In addition to the above two roads, there is also a valley road to the south. During the Jinglong period of Emperor Zhongzong of the Tang Dynasty, the Xiangzhou envoy Cui Xi saw that Chang'an City was very crowded and transporting grain from Sanmenxia of the Yellow River was extremely difficult (of course, the bigger thing was that it was to fool the court to establish projects, and only then could it be to make money). The letter said: "The south of the mountain can lead Danshui to Shangzhou, and leave Shimen from Shangguan Mountain and reach Lantian in the north, and can connect to Wandao."

Sure enough, "Zhongzong (the emperor) used the envoy to open Dachang Pass, with tens of thousands of servants and fifteen dead." Cui Xi was fully responsible for this project. After the road was opened, in order to demonstrate political achievements, Cui Xi actually "banned the old path but could not pass", while the new path "due to summer, crushed the county and suffered hardships, and the journey was hard, and the stagnant servants followed one after another, and the entire project was completely failed.

It is natural that Cui Xi is able to open a new road because this road is indeed open. Civilians may not be used, but military use is not impossible in a short period of time. In this way, there are at least three passages from Shangluo to Lantian. Even if the Qin army guards Yuguan, the Chu army can bypass the two valleys of the north and south.

Wei Liao, who knew the benefits and interests, was shocked because after passing Shangyi, there was no danger to defend within 400 miles. Only the Lantian valley entrance where Lantian was located could block the Chu army, but the valley entrance was too large, and the Qin army had no danger to seize.

"Wei Qing!" Zhao Zheng was stunned when he saw Wei Liao, and he was also a little panicked. A quarter of an hour ago, he was still trying to recover Nanyang. After Nanjun, his clan killed the traitors. Now the situation has changed. As long as the Chu army breaks through Lantian, they will face the city of Xianyang.

"My, my..." Wei Liao woke up, "I ask the king to go to Yongcheng to take refuge quickly." Wei Liao advised him. Seeing Zhao Zheng's change in his face, he said again: "Shangyi is only four hundred miles away from Xianyang. Now the Danshui has risen sharply. The people of Jing can take a boat to the bottom of Shangluo City in one day. Shangluo is only three hundred miles away from Xianyang. Jing soldiers are light and brisk, and the soldiers are like the wind, and they can reach them in two days."

Wei Liao said while Zhao Zheng sat down. After he finished speaking, he was shocked and speechless. In Wei Liao's calculations, it took only three days for the Chu army to arrive in Xianyang from Shangyi. For a premeditated surprise attack, three days will not be too long but will be too short.

"I, I..." After a while, Zhao Zheng remembered something. After thinking about it, he said anxiously: "The Guanzhong soldiers have conscripted 300,000, and our army can still fight! I want to come to the battle formation and block the Jing people in Lantian!"

Zhao Zheng said it firmly, and Wei Liao became even more anxious: "The king is not bad! Guanzhong is all old and weak soldiers. If our army is defeated in this battle..."

"Then I will defend Xianyang too!" Zhao Zheng retreated and sought the next best. "Xianyang City is seven or two feet high, and this is a world-class city. When King Jing defended Chencheng to the death, it was only four or eight feet."

"King!" Wei Liao looked at Zhao Zheng who did not want to admit defeat and was almost crying to advise, "Xianyang is a mighty city, but the warehouses are all outside the city. There are 120,000 households in the city and more than 600,000 soldiers and civilians. If it is a besieged, it will take only one month to change the sons and eat in the city. Moreover, the Jing people have the power of witchcraft, and the Hukou Pass can be defeated. Why can't Xianyang be defeated? I ask the king to temporarily avoid Yongcheng in the name of Xia Miao, and then order Li Xin's army to quickly rush to Guanzhong."

"I will never order Li Xin to rush to Guanzhong!" Zhao Zheng let out his sleeves, he had lost his final restraint. "This is the plan of the Jing people! This is the plan of the King of Jing! Xiong Jing was about to rush to Guanzhong. In this way, he could restore the old Chu land. How could I let it succeed? How could I!"

It is obviously a sure victory, but due to the loss of Jingzi Pass and Zhulin Pass, it faces a complete loss. If Qin loses this battle, how can he destroy the four countries and the whole world?

If the Chu State wins this battle, Hanzhong, Bashu, Qianzhong, Wu County, and Nanyang and Nan County, east of Shangluo, will all be owned by Chu State, and Chu State will become the largest country in the world.

There is also the situation in the world. Once Xianyang is lost, Qi, Wei and Zhao will all send troops and pounce on them to compete for the counties and counties of the Qin Dynasty in the east. The Han people who had just conquered Han land will also seek to restore the country...

Everything that Qin State conquered by war for a hundred years would be lost because of this defeat. Zhao Zheng could not accept such a result. He had to defend Xianyang to the death and preserve the territory that the kings worked hard to develop for several generations.

Thinking of this, although Wei Liao was still admonishing him, Zhao Zheng could no longer hear what he was saying.

"I have decided, I must guard Lantian!" He seemed to have regained his courage, and spoke calmly and calmly.

"If our army is defeated..." Wei Liao said it, but he still did not convince Zhao Zheng to the west Miao Yongcheng.

"The Qin army will be undefeated." Zhao Zheng was proud, "The Jing people attacked me, but only tens of thousands, so what's there to be afraid of?"

"Although there are tens of thousands of people in Jing, they are all talented soldiers and have witchcrafts." Wei Liao said. "If you can escape the military method at a small scale, you can avoid it. If you can gain a strong enemy, you can capture it by a big enemy. The old and weak soldiers in Guanzhong will definitely be defeated by the Jing people."

"So quickly order Li Xin to send 200,000 troops to move quickly day and night to save Xianyang." Zhao Zheng did not lose his mind. He did not place his hope of guarding Lantian on the elderly and weak soldiers in Guanzhong. "No matter how urgent the order Zhao Hai is to fight to the last person, he will also stop the Jing people."

It has always been the affairs of the National Wei Mansion, but Zhao Zheng is now dispatching troops to express his determination. Wei Liao sighed in his heart and said, "The king has made up his mind, and I know it. I will plan to plan Lantian tonight to resist the people of Jing."

"Good!" Zhao Zheng squeezed a smile on his face. All he wanted was Wei Liao to help him with all his strength.

"Maybe the boat army can be ordered to Bashui." Wei Liao, who was physically and mentally exhausted, finally came up with an idea. "The Jing people came over the mountains and when they were not there, our military boat army can block the Jing people on Bashui."

Zhao Zheng was stunned when he heard this and laughed: "The power of the Jing people's boat master is not to be blocked. Now I will reject the boat master with my son's spear and attack my son's shield with my son's shield. Good. Great good! This great good!"

Zhao Zheng's laughter was extremely abrupt. He needed a great support to win, and the Zhou army became this support. If the Bashui River was not wide, then the Wei River at this time was wide enough. The Qin army could first tour the Bashui River and Wei River to block the Chu army from building bridges; the other could be the Bashui River and Wei River to defend. Once the Chu army crossed the river, it would cross half the cross to attack each other.

However, what he didn't know was that once the Chu army's artillery was on the Bashui River and along the Wei River, dense artillery fire could not only break any boats, but also clear a safe area across the river. At this time, the Wei River was indeed wide, but there were always narrow places. As long as the water surface was less than 800 meters wide, the Chu army could build a floating bridge to protect the artillery.
