Zhang Yi asked about the situation of the battle in Mianchi. Chu Liji couldn't help but frown. He glanced at Brother Jun Ying Si and asked him how he would answer Zhang Yi.

Ying Si's face was gloomy and serious. He was determined to put his posture lower at this moment, but in front of his younger brother, he was reluctant to let go of shame.

Because when the imperial meeting discussed the Battle of Mianchi, Chu Liji advocated a temporary cession, which was the peace. Ying Si himself heard that Su Qin was indulging in pleasure, and he himself was angry with the two ends of the Korean rat, so he rashly launched the war against South Korea regardless of the risks.

But the facts proved that Chu Liji's opinion was correct. Now in the battle of Mianchi, the emergency situation encountered by Qin State is far greater than that of Anyi before. It is full of dangers and there is a tendency to not even protect Hangu Pass.

Ying Si kept silent and clearly wanted Chu Liji to tell Zhang Yi, and Chu Liji had a lot of opinions about his brother Jun. Not only did he refuse to listen to the advice, but he was also about the issue of Zhang Yi's appointment, if he could reduce his doubts and decisively appoint him, Zhang Yi might have put forward different views on the battle of Mianchi.

Because of Ying Si's stubbornness, Chu Liji, Gao Sheng and others went to great lengths to urge Zhang Yi's original wife to return home and marry a woman from the Qin royal family, which made Jun brother Ying Si completely relieve others. However, at this time, the battle in Mianchi had reached a very critical moment.

Tonight, the two brothers ignored the late night, one king and the other ruling minister, condescending to the nobles and came to Zhang Yi to ask for advice. Isn’t it too shameful? Why bother with this!

Thinking about the unpleasant situation in the past two months, Le Liji really wanted to let go completely and let Brother Jun Ying Si clean up the mess. However, after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't bear it. Out of family affection and concern for the state affairs of Qin, he had to take it on for Brother Jun.

Zhang Yi had actually seen the problem from the expressions and simple words of Qin Jun Ying Si and Chu Liji. He calmed down and listened quietly to Chu Liji's explanation of the Qin army's dilemma in detail.

It turned out that more than a month ago, after the imperial meeting, Qin State urgently mobilized 150,000 troops and besieged the Mianchi area in South Korea in three directions according to the scheduled plan.

Sima Cuo was the leader of the battle against South Korea. He launched an attack on Mianchi City from the middle. At the same time, Gongsun Yan led his army to attack Jiaoyang City, the right wing of Mianchi, and Ji Fen led his army to attack Shangguan City, the left wing of Mianchi.

The three armies advanced in unison. Once they left Hangu Pass, they were like tigers descending on the mountain and rushed towards the Mianchi area of ​​South Korea.

As expected, the early stages of the battle were very smooth. Sima Cuo took Mianchi City within five days, and Gongsun Yan later captured Jiaoyang City. Only Shangguan City attacked by Ji Fen, because the Korean military and civilians in the city were united and fought to the death, and they actually stood for nearly a month.

During this period, in order to support Ji Fen, Sima Cuo mobilized troops from the right and middle roads to reinforce Ji Fen on the left wing. He assembled nearly 80,000 Qin troops under Shangguan City. He arched hard crossbows day and night and shot at the top of Shangguan City. There was almost no complete roof tiles left in Shangguan City, but he refused to surrender.

Shangguan City is located on the north side of Mianchi, built along the mountain. The terrain is very dangerous and easy to defend but difficult to attack. The defending general was named Li Qi. He made full use of the terrain conditions and guarded the two entrances east and south of Shangguan City. Although the Qin army was crowded, it was too large to face the narrow entrance, but it could not be used.

Li Qi and the military and civilians poured water over the facade of Shangguan City's wall. In winter, a layer of thin ice immediately formed outside the wall, which was very smooth. The Qin army's ladders, winches, hooks and other siege tools were unable to be focused. The Korean defenders blocked the Qin army's siege back with a rain of arrows.

Moreover, because the Qin army was eager to attack the city, it shot a large number of crossbow arrows into Shangguan City in the early stage. The Shangguan City defenders were the most lacking arrows and crossbows, so the Qin army stared at the slightest and could not do anything.

If Shangguan City cannot capture it for a long time, the Qin army cannot cross Mianchi and launch a deeper attack on the hinterland of South Korea, because like a thorn on the back, leaving behind a "nail" that is difficult to pull out, which may evolve into a defeat that will be defeated thousands of miles away.

The war ahead was in a stalemate, and Gongsun Yan gloated and wrote a secret letter to Qin Jun Ying Si, accusing the chief general Sima Cuo of failing to take a sudden attack with great force, which led to the Han army in Shangguan City's desperate resistance.

Sima Cuo also learned from the close ministers in the court that Gongsun Yan's secret memorial was reported. He was furious and wrote to Qin Jun Ying Si, criticizing Gongsun Yan for being narrow-minded and unable to cooperate with his actions. He was obviously disloyal to Qin and had two hearts.

Qin Jun Ying Si received a secret memorial from Gongsun Yan, but before he could figure out what to do, he received Sima Cuo's memorial. He was very unhappy at the time and was very dissatisfied with the two of them.

However, with more than 100,000 troops outside, the two generals were all men who led the troops. Ying Si had to break his teeth and swallow them into his stomach, and dared not speak out without saying anything.

Ying Si was anxious, so he called his younger brother Le Liji, placed two memorials in front of him, and asked, "Brother Ji, what do you think, what should I do?"

Chu Liji read the two memorials carefully several times, and he was also worried about the Qin army. As the saying goes, "The king will not accept the orders of the general outside." It is not good to favor either of these two people.

At this time, Chu Liji suddenly understood what the hidden worries in his heart were. During the imperial meeting, he was still not very clear. He held the two memorials in his hands at the same time, and he suddenly realized.

The one who was worried about in the hearts of Chuli was the battle between the two generals Gongsun Yan and Sima Cuo. The scramble between the two could certainly inspire morale and conquer the city when the battle was going smoothly.

However, when the situation of the war is not going well, the conflict between the two generals just causes mutual constraints and mutual ruling, causing the situation to develop in a more unfavorable direction.

Anyone who only sees the favorable side and only focuses on the good side and lacks foreseeing possible adverse situations will most likely suffer a big loss, or even leads to the situation being out of control and failing in a mess.

This is the mistake that Qin Jun Ying Si made. Chu Liji was also "contagious" by his absolute confidence. He did not expect that the situation might occur when the war was not going well.

However, since things have come to this point, Chuliji has no better way to deal with the dispute between Gongsun Yan and Sima Cuo.

He thought for a long time and suggested to Brother Jun Ying Si: "Brother Jun, why not comment, just pretend that they did not see their secret memorials and strictly order them to step up their attack on Shangguan City."

Qin Jun Ying Si obeyed his younger brother's advice, so he came to deal with it coldly. He did not scold Gongsun Yan and Sima Cuo himself, nor did he praise him. He just ordered them to find ways to break through Shangguan City as soon as possible and then quickly attack forward.

The king's order arrived at the front line of Mianchi, but Sima Cuo was at a loss. He summoned Ji Fen and other generals to discuss. Some of the generals wanted to attack and some had to rest, and there was no consensus.

Ji Fen was already overwhelmed by the war in Shangguan City. He did not expect the Korean defenders in the city to be so difficult. He opposed the opposition and advocated siege Shangguan City and siege it without attacking. When the ice melts in the spring of the next year, the city will become much easier to attack.

Sima Cuo saw that the Qin army was very hard to attack the city, and he sacrificed himself in groups of arrows, rain of crossbows and arrows under Shangguan City. He knew that the Qin army would suffer even more heavy losses under the attack.

He deeply agreed with Ji Fen's view. Ji Fen's subordinates had a commander named Pang Ci, named Pang Ci, who proposed a more complete plan. He suggested: "For the current plan, our Qin army must remember to be impatient, and should use slowness and not rush."

When Sima Cuo heard this, he felt that his plan was interesting, so he hurriedly asked: "Pang Duwei, what is the use of slowness? I would like to hear it carefully."

Pang Ci's face was fair. Although he was a general, he looked very literary and cunning. He explained in detail: "The so-called slowness means that our Qin State will temporarily consolidate the existing achievements and wait for the changes of the Korean army. If South Korea sits on Shangguancheng and does not send reinforcements to rescue him, we will trap the defenders in the city."

"If South Korea sends troops to rescue us, we will face South Korea's reinforcements with our main force. Instead, our army is waiting for work, and I believe we will gain a lot. Isn't it a great achievement to eliminate South Korea's large-scale reinforcements?"

Sima misunderstood after hearing Pang Ci's analysis, he was overjoyed. He walked down the commander's case and stepped forward to hold Pang Ci's hand, saying, "Pang Duwei is so smart, he is really a resourceful man. His words made me suddenly enlightened. Tonight I specially set up wine for you to repay you for your plan to siege and help. If our Qin army in the future pacify South Korea, I will report to the wise king and remember your first contribution."

Sima Cuo decided to siege the city and attack aid, and it was indeed effective soon.

When Han Hou Han Gu first heard the Qin army's troops leaving Hangu Pass and quickly launched an attack on the Mianchi area, he was panicked and his face turned pale and panicked all day long.

Han Hou himself also had a clear judgment on the military strength of his country. He heard that Qin State had dispatched 150,000 troops at once, and knew that it was even more difficult to defeat the Qin army with the inherent military strength of South Korea.

In desperation, Han Hou remembered Su Qin and the Union Alliance he advocated, which was the only solid backer he could use. Han Hou spent a lot of money on the Union Alliance of Su Qin and Union Alliance. Not only did he reward Su Qin's mission, but he also personally sent troops to send Su Qinrong back to his hometown. It was so thoughtful and meticulous that he could not be more important.

Now that South Korea is facing an emergency, Han Hou’s first reaction is to seek help from Su Qin.

Therefore, on the one hand, Han Hou mobilized 100,000 Han troops to prepare to go to Mianchi to resist the attack of the Qin army. On the other hand, he sent envoy Shen Zhi and a large number of entourages to enter Luoyang City urgently to report the situation to Su Qin, and seek support from other countries in the Union Alliance for South Korea.

When Su Qin saw Shen Zhi in Mingjian Garden in Luoyang City, he was filled with joy on the two new wives, Meng Ting and Wei Jia. He was intoxicated by the indulgence of the moon in front of the flowers, singing and dancing all day long, singing and enjoying the wind and moon. Zhang Yi asked about the situation of the battle in Mianchi, and Lu Ji couldn't help but frown. He glanced at Brother Jun Ying Si and asked him how he would answer Zhang Yi.

Ying Si's face was gloomy and serious. He was determined to put his posture lower at this moment, but in front of his younger brother, he was reluctant to let go of shame.
