Chapter 285: The Curtain Comes to an End

Li Xin is back!

In order to protect Hangu Pass and the strategic advantage of Qin in conquering the Central Plains, Li Xin took great risks. His 200,000 army was now completely out of touch. The general and soldiers all ran wildly towards Hangu Pass. The front had already arrived near Hangu Pass, but the last one was still hundreds of miles away from the destination.

If the commander was Ying Teng, he would never dare to do this. Li Xin, who advocated attack more in his bones, had a crazy spirit of adventure flowing in his blood. To protect Hangu Pass, he could save Qin at least ten years. If he lost Hangu Pass, it would mean that Qin would face passive defense in the next few years, and this was definitely not what Li Xin wanted to see.

And ten years, it was Ying Teng's goal set for King Wulie of Qin. In Ying Teng's heart, Hangu Pass would definitely not be able to be saved. Of course, Ying Teng closed his eyes with satisfaction in the soaring Qin Dynasty's battle song. All the strategic goals set by Qin before the war have been achieved. As for himself, in his sixties, a general can die on the battlefield. Is there any better destination than this? It is much better than dying in bed old age.

If Ying Teng knew that Li Xin had adopted such a crazy strategy at this time, I wonder if he would be so angry that he would jump out of hell and beat Li Xin up. If Zhao Mu saw through and rushed the army directly, Li Xin's army would be in danger. Even if he died with Zhao's army, it would be absolutely unfavorable for Qin.

Looking around the world, 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. However, it is different for Qin State. Once Li Xin's 200,000 troops are lost, Qin State will be in danger.

Li Xin knew Zhao Mu, so he did so.

And Zhao Mu did retreat in the end.

Zhao Mu's reputation is not a fame. If he did not see Li Xin's erotic and risky strategy, it would definitely be wrong. But for Zhao Mu, the interests of Zhao State are above everything else. If he attacks and fights Li Xin to the death, Li Xin will certainly be destroyed, but what about him? How many more can Zhao State's army be left?

At present, the six countries united again in order to fight against Qin. However, if the main force of the Zhao army and the main force of Qin were all lost in Hangu Pass, the other five countries would never be grateful for the kindness and courage of Zhao. On the contrary, they would laugh and attack with troops, fighting Zhao and Qin together so that they could not turn over.

Li Xin is now extremely weak and goes on a thousand miles away. Even the most powerful army will become weak. What's more, Li Xin still fought with the Huns on the grassland?

Knowing all this and knowing that it was the best opportunity, Zhao Mu could not issue an order to attack. Zhao State must maintain a strong army and be able to compete with Qin State. Even if it has always been at a disadvantage, as long as this is the case, other countries will lend a helping hand at the most critical moment, and only in this way can Zhao State be preserved.

Zhao Mu sat blankly in the middle of the camp, watching the moon set, watching the sun rise, and overnight, he grew older. He didn't look like a man in his early forties.

Every quarter of an hour, the Qin army would accumulate more people, their combat effectiveness would be restored, and the Zhao army's chances would be reduced. At this moment, the Zhao army generals standing beside Zhao Mu were all looking at Hangu Pass not far away with grief and anger. At this moment, they really realized what it means to fly cooked ducks. They were not stupid people, and they all understood Zhao Mu's pain.

Zhou Changshou walked up slowly, bent down and helped Zhao Mu up, "General, retreat! It's meaningless."

Wu Zeng also walked up and held Zhao Mu's other arm, "General, we do our best."

Zhao Feng, who was a little further away, squatted on the ground, hugged his head and cried bitterly. Victory was right in front of him. He seemed to be only one step away, but it was far away and out of reach. He was the first to attack the Hangu Pass city wall, and he was also closest to the king flag, but in the end, he got nothing.

At the Hangu Clash, more and more elite Qin troops appeared. A large flag was flying, surrounding the royal flag in the middle.

"Give me a visit to General Zhao Mu!"

Above the city, there were suddenly shouts like tsunamis.

"Give me a visit to General Zhao Mu!"

Listening to this ironic shout, Zhao Mu shook his body and could no longer hold on. His eyes turned black, his mouth was opened, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he fell to the sky.

"General!" In the Zhao army camp, there was a sudden panic.

"Retreat, withdraw, retreat to the Hedong Camp!" Zhou Changshou shouted sternly.

Above the city, King Wulie of Qin looked at Zhao Ying opposite him. Although there were still tears on his face, he smiled: "Li Xin, would you say Zhao Mu make us angry to death?"

"Master!" Li Xin's face also had an unconcealed fatigue, "Zhao Mu will not be angry to death, he will definitely make a comeback."

"Very good, I also hope he will not be angry to death. In this way, next time, I will defeat him head-on on the battlefield and avenge my uncle." A trace of hatred flashed in King Wulie's eyes.

"Your Majesty, this is only once, and I will not be an example. If you go into battle with your hands as bare-handed as you are now, Li Xin will leave." Li Xin clasped his fists and bowed, and said seriously.

"It's just a sarcastic statement to uncle!" King Qin Wulie looked at Li Xin and said dissatisfiedly. "By the way, can that boy Yingying take back Ye Mang's head?"

"Of course!" Li Xin said confidently." The king was waiting for the good news!"

King Wulie of Qin laughed, "You said that, I naturally believe that you are optimistic about this guy Yingying?"

Li Xin thought for a moment, "Returning to the king, it's like General Ying Teng was optimistic about you back then."

King Wulie of Qin nodded slightly, "Li Xin, you are different from Ying Teng. Ying Teng is a royal family, you are not, so, there are some things that you should not get too deeply involved, which is not good for you. I still expect you to conquer the world for me! This time I came to Hangu Pass, and left my will. If I died in Hangu, Ying Ying would be the king, not because I am optimistic about Ying Ying now, but because of your 200,000 army. In Xianyang, everyone understands this truth. But now that you have passed this level, it is different. You will be suspicious and plotted against others. I believe in you, but you must be careful every step of the way. This is not a confrontation with the hostility on the battlefield. You can plan and win a thousand miles. This time, you don't even know who your enemy is."

Li Xin stood up, and his back was covered in cold sweat. King Wulie of Qin was so open to him that he had no suspicion about him, which was really heart-to-heart.

"I understand!"

"You are temporarily stationed in Hangu Pass, don't go back to Xianyang first. I will send my uncle's Lingshu back to Xianyang for burial."

"The king wants to help the spirit himself?"

"Of course, I deserve it. If you look back, you kowtow to your uncle a few times. Don't go back to his funeral. At that time, there will inevitably be some storms in Xianyang."

"I understand!" Li Xin nodded.

The battle of Hangu Pass came to an end. The Qin army died tens of thousands of people at Hangu Pass. Even the general Ying Teng died in this battle. Hangu Pass almost changed hands, but when everything was over, it was the Qin army who won. It was not that they won in this battle, but that they had gained great advantages in strategy. Not only did they clear the harassment of the Huns on them, they could focus on dealing with the six Central Plains countries from then on, but they also saved Hangu Pass. The worst side of the implementation of this strategy was the loss of Hangu Pass, and Qin would face a passive situation for several years, but now, none of this would happen.

Ye Tiannan planned to restore the kings supported by Zhao State and the Linghu family. In order to overthrow the former kings supported by Zhao State, he planned to contact all parties for ten years. Once the launch was launched, Zhao State caught Zhao State off guard and the king of Yan State changed his position. However, he never expected that because of his actions, the Qin State who benefited the most in the end was Qin State. When the Qin people did not attack Zhao State but went straight to the grassland, he thought that Ye Tiannan also understood this.

However, he did not regret it.

Because he didn't do this, he would not be able to go to power, and how could he show his ambitions be considered as Qin's advantage? Zhao has not yet fallen, and Yan will flourish under its own governance. In the future, he will compete with the Qin people in the world. Maybe it will be Yan's country! Ye Tiannan has always been very arrogant.

Gao Yuan, who is still a small character, naturally cannot think about it or think about it. He is now focused on making his new army improve his combat effectiveness as soon as possible.

He could always find opportunities to train under any circumstances. As a vanguard, after he advanced to Zhao State, Gao Yuan formulated a detailed training plan, practicing while walking. Just think this is a training game! From Feng Fayong's mouth, Gao Yuan knew that this battle would probably not be able to fight.

It was indeed impossible to fight. Half a month after Gao Yuan entered Zhao State, the order suddenly arrived and the Yan army stationed on the spot. Feng Fayong also hurriedly left. A day later, Feng Fayong returned to Gao Yuan's camp with a bitter face.

"It's over?" Gao Yuan looked at Feng Fayong's face, knowing that the result must be not very good.

"It's over. General Zhao did not capture Hangu Pass. The Qin army on the grassland rushed back at the last moment, so we could only withdraw our troops!" Feng Fayong was so upset, "I heard that it only took half a day to kill, and in half a day in the evening, Hangu Pass was ours."

"In other words, I can go home!" Gao Yuan was not very concerned about the outcome of this battle, as it was too far away from him.

"Yes, you can go home!" Feng Fayong nodded, "The war was over, and Qin sent an envoy on his way to Handan. When he heard that we had not captured Hangu Pass and Li Xin rushed back, the troops of the other countries had already retracted their heads."

Feng Fayong's face was extremely ugly, and Gao Yuan understood it very well. In this war, Yan State took advantage and Qin State also took advantage. Only Zhao State suffered a great loss. As a Zhao person, Feng Fayong was naturally very sad.

"Prince Gao, I'm here to say goodbye to you. There will be a date later. I hope you remember what Prime Minister Zilan said to you."
