When the Chu army advanced south of Xiangcheng, the Qi army had already abandoned the forefront of Guyi and retreated to Pingyin Fortress (now Guangli, Xiaoli Town, Changqing County). The 150,000 Qin troops led by Wang Jian followed the official road to the outside of Pingyin Pass, and had been attacking the pass for several days.

Pingyin Fortress is formed by the remnants of Mount Tai and Ji River. It is surrounded by mountains in the west, with cliffs and barriers, and the mountains are dangerous; in the east, there are continuous water and silt, which is difficult to move. Not to mention the Qi Great Wall that extends eastward, the wall of Pingyin Fortress, which is only ten miles away, will block all the northward paths, and there is a large trench in front of the gate, "The trench guards the gate and guards it, and the trench is one mile wide.

The Qin army led by Wang Jian was blocked outside this big trench that was one mile wide. The strong soldiers braved the stone bullets thrown out by the Qi people's catapults to fill the trench. Every time every big rock flew over, the strong soldiers who filled the trench smashed like an ant and died. Fortunately, even the stone bullets were limited. The catapults in the Senei were not in a volley state, and the falling stone bullets fell and the significance of deterrence was far greater than actual killing.

This time the order of the Guowei Mansion was very simple. In short, Li Xin attracted the main force of the Chu army and Wang Jian took the opportunity to attack Pingyin. The order was very simple, but it was very difficult to execute.

Although Li Xin's army had 400,000 people, there was no chance of winning the decisive battle with more than 300,000 Chu and Zhao. He could only trade space for time, and use the fact that the Chu army was not frozen, and was unable to pursue this, so he could do his best to drag the Chu people. Wang Jian's army fought against time, filled the chasm without hesitation, rushed to the wall, pulled out Pingyin in as short as possible, and went straight to Linzi, Qidu.

Although Li Xin and Wang Jian fully understood the importance of attacking Qi and tried their best to execute the orders of the Guowei Mansion, as the war unfolded, it became more and more difficult to execute the orders. Li Xin could indeed attract and restrain the Chu army at the beginning, but the space for him to retreat was not unending. Xiangcheng was only more than 300 miles away from the Dahe River, and the Chu army pursued more than 300 miles for more than 10 days. Can Li Xin retreat to the north of the Dahe River?

Once it retreats north of the river, most of Yingchuan County and Sanchuan County will be lost. Even if it is not lost, it will bring great chaos. A place like Yingchuan County that has just been occupied for a few years will definitely return to the hands of the Koreans, and South Korea may use this to restore it. This resumption will be a huge stimulation for Zhao territory. Since South Korea can restore its country, can Zhao State also restore its country?

But if Li Xin and the Chu and Zhao army fight to the decisive battle, it would be fine if they don’t lose, but what if they lose?

Li Xin's dilemma was so bad that Wang Jian's situation was even worse. If the Pingyin Fortress had not been frozen in the Ji River last year, and if the Qi people were not spared, the Qin army would not have been able to attack Linzi. This year, the Qi people sank more ships in the Ji River, and even blocked the route to transport millet into Qi.

Most of the gates were blocked, and even if they were not blocked, the path left behind was winding. The 300,000 troops stationed in the army were completely worry-free, and Wang Jian's entire army could not pull out Pingyin in a short time. Moreover, the river was not sealed at this time, or the transportation of food and fodder was restricted, so he led only 150,000 soldiers.

The Qi people in Pingyin City heard that Wang Jian had only 150,000 people and did not believe it at first. After several confirmations, the scouts also heard from the Zhibing Office of the State of Chu that there were only 150,000 infantry and 7,000 cavalry under Wang Jian. Then they breathed a sigh of relief. The Zhibing Office was worried that the Qi army would go out to the frontier to fight Wang Jian, so they solemnly warned several times that the Qin army still had 40,000 cavalry and must not fight with him.

The Qi people, who learned that the Qin army had only 150,000 people, really wanted to go out to fight with the Qin people. However, the 40,000 cavalry was like a sharp blade hanging above their heads, and no one dared to raise a fight - guarding the frontier. The Qi army had all the advantages of the territory, and the Qi soldiers in the field were several times more powerful than the Qin army. However, except for some flat ground on the west side, the southeast was full of high and low mountains. As the battle was fought, if the 40,000 Qin cavalry suddenly broke out from behind, the field was defeated and defeated.

The Qin people outside the Great Wall were rushing to fill the trenches, and the Qi army in the Continental was basking in the sun and the years were quiet. Just when both sides thought they wanted to spend this year's La Festival in peace, a carriage from Xianyang rushed into the gate of the Qin army camp with wind and dust, and stopped in front of the shogunate.

"See, I've seen the National Guard..." Wang Jian had already brought the generals out of the shogunate. He thought that the visitor would be the king envoy who urged him to attack Pingyin quickly, but he didn't expect that the person sitting in the carriage was Wei Liao of the National Guard of Qin.

"I have met the National Guard/Mr.." Half a beat slower than Wang Jian, the other generals led to bow to Wei Liao with Wang Ao.

Ten years ago, Wei Liao was still a very unsuccessful wanderer. He relied on the support of the Bai family to avoid wandering on the streets. Ten years later, he was already a national lieutenant under the Qin State and above ten thousand people. His every move determines the survival of a country.

Xuan Guan, Xuan Yi, Su Shang, Hei Wu, Wei Liao got out of the car with the help of his servants. The attendant who followed him held a long sword, which was the king's sword. Looking at the sword, the generals' pupils could not help but shrink, and their expressions became a little respectful.

Wang Jian naturally recognized Zhao Zheng's sword. It was this long sword that killed the assassin of Zhao State Jing Ke. The National Escort came with the King's sword. His purpose was self-evident. He was not afraid, but he smiled bitterly on his old face. "Please enter the tent."

With the respect of everyone, Wei Liao stepped into the shogunate. Wang Jian and others followed behind. The ghosts in their hearts were pale and the people were trembling. However, the National Guard could not kneel down to beg for mercy immediately, so they could only follow the generals into the house like zombies and stand in their usual standing positions. Fortunately, the generals had just stood up, and Wei Liao said, "Don't retreat, the guardian will stay here."

Even the general Wang Jian wanted to retreat. Wang Ben and the generals were even more frightened, but it was useless to be frightened. Wang Jian stepped forward and withdrew, and the rest followed him. It took more than two hours later, Wang Jian and Wang Ao to be summoned to the shogunate by Wei Liao.

When the two entered the shogunate, there were only Wei Liao and Zhao Zhi, the guardian, in the huge tent. The attendant who was holding the king's sword just now was not seen. Wang Ao, who was worried that Zhao Zhi would slander, took the lead and said, "Please listen to your disciple's words, General..."

"Irregular." Wei Liao shouted softly. Wang Ao was his student, not a teacher or student, and he didn't want to listen to his explanation.

Seeing that Wang Ao was scolded, Wang Jian's expression remained unchanged. He bowed to Wei Liao. Although this was his shogunate, Wei Liao did not let him sit down and he could only stand.

"The General thought..." Wei Liao looked at Wang Jian, "Can Pingyin be pulled?"

"Yes, nor can you, they are all in Qi." Wang Jian said.

"Why are everyone in Qi?" Wei Liao's eyes were still staring, and it became sharper, as if he was about to penetrate him.

"When I heard that, I will be ordered by the king, and I will not help but do anything. The army will not attack, the city will not attack, and the land will not fight," Wang Jian, who has always been uncivilized, especially disgusted with literary talent, also cited for a while. Facing Wei Liao's sharp gaze, he continued, "...The king will not accept the order.

Pingyin's blockage is a place that does not attack. Last year, he used the advantage of witchcraft and took advantage of the Qi people's lack of preparation. He could not pull it out again. Therefore, the subordinates believed that Pingyin's blockage can be tempted but not attacked, and loosened but not forced. The people of Qi people have no mistakes, and our army cannot win. If the people of Qi are wrong, our army will definitely win. Therefore, the subordinates said: Yes, but not, they are all in Qi people..."

Facing Wei Liao and Wang Jian, there was nothing to hide. Before he and Pan revealed his plan, Wei Liao had already known from the guardian Zhao Zhi how he would capture Pingyin. This was a very passive method. Whether it was Wei Liao or Zhao Zheng in Xianyang, they all hoped to take the initiative on the battlefield.

After he finished speaking, Wei Liao immediately asked, "If Qi people are not wrong, what can I do about it?"

Wang Jian was silent, and after a moment he also asked, "I dare to ask the National Guard, what's the plan?"

Wei Liao's question left Wang Jian speechless, and Wang Jian's question also left Wei Liao speechless. If Wei Liao had a solution, why would he come to Wang Jian's army? It was because he had no choice that he personally rushed to the front line to urge him.

The two of them were speechless. Wang Ao, who had just been stopped by Wei Liao, said, "Disciple has a plan these days, which may be feasible."

"What's the plan?" Wei Liao looked at him and did not take his words seriously.

"The cavalry and soldiers of Qi are all in Pingyin. Our army can send more than a thousand cavalry around Pingyin and attack Linzi..."

Wei Liao did not take the disciple's words seriously, but Wang Jian had some hope, but he was disappointed when he heard that Wang Ao sent only more than a thousand cavalry. The disappointment of the two forced Wang Ao to tell a long story, and he said, "If you can attack Qi people, Qi people will resent Anping Jun."

"How can more than a thousand cavalry attack the people? Please tell me." Wang Jian was puzzled.

"I dare to ask the general, why is Qi in today's country of victory over the world?" Wang Ao smiled, not saying it clearly.

Wang Jian was led by the lieutenant general. In his opinion, there was nothing worth boasting about in Qi. In terms of land, Qin and Chu were greater than Qi; in terms of people, Qin and Chu were more than Qi; in terms of money, Qin and Chu might not be as good as Qin and Chu, but Chu, which had a sea and boat connection in the world, must be richer than Qi; in terms of generals, leading soldiers, not to mention Qin and Chu, even Zhao was better than Qi; in terms of ancestors' past, this was even more...

In fact, Qi was a second-rate country, but among the Qi people Wang Jian met, none of them were not proud of Qi. They would be called the Eastern Emperor, and they would be called Jixia.

Wang Jian just thought of Jixia, Wei Liao nodded and said, "Jixia."

Wang Ao could be so happy about Wang Jian, but he didn't dare to treat Wei Liao. He said respectfully: "Disciple's stupid plan may not be used."

"Although this plan is available, this matter must be known to the world. Everyone in the world laughs at the same time, and only when one is afraid can one make mistakes." Wei Liao also raised his appetite.

"Sir, please teach me." Wang Ao paused his head, and Wang Jian hurriedly bowed.

"Anpingjun." Wei Liao said these three words after thinking for a while. Wang Jian didn't read them. He only looked at Wang Ao. Seeing that Wang Ao still couldn't understand, he had to say again: "Tian Dan."

Wang Ao kept thinking about Anping Juntian. When he heard Tian Dan’s name, he was shocked and said excitedly: “Disciple, disciples are not as good as teachers.”
