In the Xuandi War Zone, if you use 100,000 troops to block more than 400,000 troops, unless there is a natural barrier, it will have to be a must-pass road, such as the Shanyuguan of Qin and the Yangtze River Ferry of Wu and Chu.

The territory of the Xuandi is very similar to the previous Jin State. It is located in the southeast of the central part, with many plain areas. The cities are also well connected and have many roads. Once the Spirit Army comes in, the situation can be imagined.

Sun Qi did not dare to divide his troops easily, otherwise he would be divided and encircled.

Therefore, after Jianyang, without any danger to defend, he could only retreat again and again, and fought a large-scale guerrilla war with the Ling Army throughout the entire war zone for several months.

On the basis of adopting the tactics of the enemy advancing and retreating, and the enemy is exhausted and attacking, although it has caused effective heavy damage to the Spirit Army, the loss of the city is inevitable.

In a few months, although the Ling Army had suffered severe losses, it successfully advanced into Xuandi 600 miles. The 600 miles here was not a straight attack, but a 600 miles across.

All three counties have fallen into the enemy's hands.

At this time, many people, including the Ling King, believed that the main force of the Qin army was very likely to mobilize Xuandi, but Xiao Yuan was trapped in Xiangyang and refused to change his decision.

He was like he was living and dying regardless of Xuan. Of course, for the Spirit King, he was very happy to see this.

The Qin court had already been shocked by this incident.

On this day, in the back garden of the palace.

The Secretary of State Yao Tingyu was asking to see Lu Yunyan.

This is the former Xuan Xiang and the old minister of the two dynasties of the Xuan Kingdom.

When facing him, Lu Yunyan's attitude was naturally very polite. After indicating that he didn't have to be polite, he said calmly: "If you have anything, just say it."

"Empress." Yao Tingyu stood respectfully outside the pavilion, with a worried look on his face: "Now, hundreds of thousands of Ling army have embezzled Xuandi. At this point, our country has lost several counties, but the king still surrounds Xiangyang and has no intention of sending troops. Do you have any plans to give up Xuandi?"

"I'm sorry, my dear," Lu Yunyan said: "How could the king ignore his territory? It's just that due to the situation on the entire battlefield, he had to temporarily avoid the spiritual army's edge."

"But the empress, Xuandi has been in a century of foundation, and is now swallowed by other countries. We should first defeat foreign enemies and then take the south of the Yangtze River." Yao Tingyu said.

"What do you mean?" Lu Yunyan's beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly.

"The old minister thinks that the king has been siegeing Xiangyang for a long time and cannot be taken again. In the current situation, we should first cease the war with Wu and Chu first, and then repel the spiritual army. Then we will make plans for him." Yao Tingyu said: "As long as the king is willing to cease the war, the two kings of Wu and Chu will definitely be very happy. After the empress, she can write a letter to persuade the king..."

Xiao Yuan decided to fight to the end and never retreated. Of course, many people from the Qin ministers had already passed on letters, but they were directly refuted.

Now, the only one who can persuade Xiao Yuan is probably the only Queen Qin.

But as soon as he said this, Lu Yunyan interrupted him: "What are you talking nonsense! How can I interfere with the front-line military resolution?"

"Empress, the old minister means, in the form of a letter from home..."

"Nonsense." Lu Yunyan interrupted him again and said a little displeased: "This war has not been completed yet!"

"But Empress..." Yao Tingyu's face showed sadness, and she knelt on the ground again, and said in a trembling voice:

"If Xuandi does not get support, if you fight again, the Spirit Army will attack Xuanzhou!"

"Xuanzhou, the century-old foundation of the entire Xuandi..."

"It is also the Lu royal family, where the royal tomb of the ancestral temple is located..."

The ancients were very respectful and respectful in their attitude towards their ancestors. Under the ritual system, there is no need to say more about what the ancestral temples and tombs represent.

When he mentioned this, Lu Yunyan's face changed suddenly, "Stop talking."

"Empress..." Yao Tingyu continued to say sadly. He was not wrong, but his military views were different. If Xuanzhou was really captured by the Spirit Army, it would be completely unacceptable to him, the old prime minister of Xuanguo, although Qin and Xuan had already merged.

Lu Yunyan also closed her eyes and clenched her pink fists hard.

At the same time, Xiangyang War Zone.

Xiao Yuan knew the situation in Xuandi very well.

In the big tent, Wang Su moved his mouth and said, "Your Majesty, it doesn't matter if you throw some cities, but if Xuanzhou is in danger..."

Speaking of this, he paused and said, "It is the Lu royal temple, where the tomb of the King Xuan of all dynasties is located, and the Queen..."

Xiao Yuan raised his hand to stop him and said seriously: "I can indulge the Ling Army into Xuan, but I will never allow myself to set foot in Xuanzhou. I will immediately send an order to tell Sun Qi that Hengyang is his last retreat! Even if I die, I cannot let the Ling Army come to Xuanzhou!"

Why choose Hengyang? It is because there is not only a pass, but also an acropolis in Xuanzhou. If you don’t capture this place, you will not be able to enter Xuanzhou.

This is the last throat position.

The Qin army had strong military intelligence, and his king's orders were quickly spread to the Xuandi War Zone through the Falcon.

At this time, Sun Qi was more than 200 miles away from Hengyang, but after the loss of three counties in Xuandi, Tang Yue and other generals were already dissatisfied.

In the tent, a general proposed that he could not retreat again and fight to the death with the enemy.

Tang Yueyi said: "In just a few months, we fought back and forth, but we still lost three counties. How can we fight this battle?"

"If this is not the case, we will probably lose more land and our troops will be more severely damaged." Sun Qi said.

He was right. The enemy and us have a huge gap in strength and are easily surrounded by roundabouts. Once the other party makes such a military move, you have to find a weak point to avoid being caught in a shortlisted battle. Therefore, the army has been fighting back and forth during this period, and both sides are exhausted.

If the head coach of the Lingjun is a good deal, he can defeat the more with less and make many plans. However, the old coach of Huang Zu on the battlefield is definitely not a mediocre talent, and Sun Qi can only fight with him like this in order to get an opportunity to annihilate the enemy.

The ability of both sides to command troops should be similar. In this case, the party with the advantage in force will naturally have great initiative.

At this moment, a snow clan member hurriedly walked in, knelt on one knee, clasped his fists and said, "Report to Sun Shuai, the king passed on the letter."

"Quick." Sun Qi quickly stretched out his hand.

The latter took out the letter and handed it respectfully with both hands.

After Sun Qi took it, after opening it and reading it, all the generals couldn't help it. Someone asked curiously: "Sun Shuai, I wonder what the king's letter is explained?"

Sun Qi put away his letter and said bluntly: "The king strictly ordered Hengyang, which is the last place for our army to retreat. Even if the entire army is killed in battle, we should not take another step back!"

Hearing this, the generals not only did not feel worried, but were shocked.

Tang Yue said: "I have long wanted to fight the spirit army to the death! This time, I will fight them to the death!"
Chapter completed!
