Gongsun Yan himself is not a mediocre person who is willing to be lonely. He is determined to be the chief minister of Qin, the most powerful country in the world. From then on, he can command the world and dominate the heroes. How powerful!

However, the situation is always better than that of people, and people are not as good as God. Gongsun Yan thought of his years of struggle in Qin State, and couldn't help but sighed several times. He thought to himself: "It seems that I should send someone to inform my family in Xianyang City to let them avoid the limelight. My Gongsun Yan might be there tomorrow? We must find a way out early."

Gongsun Yan shouted, "Hold on! Resist to the end!" He actually turned a blind eye, retreated numbly without hearing, holding the thought of evading wherever he wanted, and retreated without stopping.

On another road, Ji Fen also retreated. He led the Qin soldiers who had not returned to Jiaoyang City and went straight to Mianchi City along a fork. Xu Lu was ordered by Ning Jun to pretend to pursue him behind him. He also ordered the pursuing troops to chase and scold him while chasing, and continued the "swearing carnival" under Jiaoyang City in the morning.

The soldiers of Zhao State were proud and all used all the skills to curse. All kinds of sarcasm were endless, and they were amused by their own scolding. Xu Lu cursed at Ji Fen, who was running away: "You are here, you are scolding you. If you have the ability to turn back, let's fight another battle."

Ji Fen had no intention of entangling Xu Lu at this time. He left the city with confidence and drove away the swearing coalition led by Xu Lu. Unexpectedly, even Jiaoyang City could not go back. At this time, he regretted his heart and retreated to the safer Mianchi City dejectedly.

Ji Fen knew that he would be punished by Sima Chou when he retreated to Mianchi City, but he had no other way to escape, so he had to bite the bullet and rush there.

Xu Lu received Ning Jun's instructions in advance. After chasing him for about ten miles, he ordered his soldiers to stop.

These "carnival" soldiers scolded and ran away, and were already exhausted, but everyone felt relieved. How could the soldiers of the six countries have ever exhaled their resentment so happily? Therefore, everyone was happy.

Sima Cuo, the chief general of the Qin State's Mianchi battle, was at the west gate of Mianchi City. He commanded the Qin army to build hidden positions. Sima Cuo also wanted to imitate the feather arrow wheel arranged by Su Qin in Xibei. He was fashionable and did not know that Jiao Yang and Baishi had encountered the attack of the Hezong coalition forces, and was waiting with confidence that the Hezong coalition forces attacked Mianchi again, so that the hidden positions under the city could allow the coalition forces to taste the power of Qin's crossbow arrows.

Since Lu Ji swore to send people to send intelligence, saying that Su Qin's next combat plan was to use Xibei as a base and continue to attack Mianchi, Sima Cuo nervously prepared an ambush position in the eastern suburbs of Mianchi.

Just yesterday, Lu Ji once again used the Wei army's sudden position to conveniently send a second letter of intelligence, indicating that the coalition forces of the Union have arranged the order of attacks and sent Wei's army as the vanguard force, which has already set off in advance.

Sima Cuo received the second letter of intelligence sent by Lu, and he was convinced of Su Qin's intention to directly take Mianchi. He knew that Qin's troops in the Mianchi area were at a disadvantage in terms of number of troops, so he had to take action one step ahead, use the favorable terrain, and prepare for the defense under Mianchi City.

Sima Cuo still had great expectations for the combat effectiveness of the Qin army, which was also the confidence that the Qin army established in years of fighting with the Eastern princes. The Qin army rarely tasted defeat. When the Qin army soldiers heard that they were going to fight with the Eastern princes, they were all ready to fight for the first place.

Although the Qin army suffered a small setback at the city of Anyi since the establishment of the Alliance of Su and Qin, they finally got rid of the crisis. In the subsequent Battle of Mianchi, the Qin army had the upper hand at the beginning. Even though they encountered trouble in pursuing deserters, the overall situation of the battle did not change significantly. Therefore, Sima Cuo and his soldiers were still full of expectations for victory and were very optimistic.

This is also the reason why Sima Cuo refused to ask the monarch to increase his troops to Mianchi. He believed that his Qin army in Mianchi City was enough, and in the rear, through the connecting road between Mianchi City and Baishi City, the Qin army in Hangu Pass could be continuously transported to the front line of Mianchi at any time.

There is no worries behind, and Jiaoyang City and Mianchi City are also supporting each other, so they can also help. Sima Cuo thinks he needs to worry about the coalition forces led by Su Qin, which are "moons" in his opinion.

Sima Cuo was not planning to launch an active attack again because the hidden risks were too great. He thought to himself: "We Qin people occupy most of the cities in Mianchi and have a stable defense line. I want to see how the coalition forces led by Su Qin broke through?"

He felt: "This is called using static to control the movement, defeating the more with less, and unexpectedly, allowing the Hezong coalition forces to return in a defeat. This ensures the fruits of the victory of the Mianchi Battle. How could the Hezong coalition forces not be able to break the situation for a long time, and how could the princes of their country be willing to let their soldiers stay outside for a long time, and they would soon disperse."

When Sima Cuo was urging the construction of a position outside Mianchi City, he still thought of the beautiful prospects of the Qin army. He sat on the couch in front of a military cart, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and happily waving the horse whip in his hand, wishing to hum a familiar Qin ballad.

Unfortunately, he is a military general. He doesn't like art and elegance very much. He can't remember the lyrics when he talks, so he has to give up.

Sima Cuo thought to himself: "It seems that I will learn one or two songs in the future. I'm so happy that I sing a few lines when I'm happy. I heard that Su Qin is a slut who lingers in music and dance, but he will enjoy it! But I asked you to suffer a lot in this battle in Mianchi, which will cause your so-called alliance to collapse, and see if you are in the mood to sing and dance in the future."

It was noon, and Sima Cuo saw that lunch time had come. He was about to instruct his followers to withdraw their troops and return to the city. At this moment, almost all the Qin soldiers outside Mianchi City saw the dust and fog rising from the southeast, followed by rumbling horse hooves and footsteps.

Sima Cuo was shocked and thought: "That's the direction of Jiaoyang City. It's so good. How could a strange movement come from there?"

Sima Cuo hurriedly ordered a captain riding a war horse beside him: "Take someone to come and see what the situation is, and report it to me quickly."

He then asked the messengers to come and ordered the soldiers who built the positions to stop their work and prepare their weapons to take care of the unexpected situation.

The captain sent out quickly rushed back with a man. The man arrived in front of the chariot that Sima Cuo was riding, slammed off his saddle, rolled off his horse, knelt on the ground, and reported in a crying voice: "Report to General Sima, something is wrong. Jiaoyang City, which was stationed at the last general, was attacked by the gang soldiers led by Ning Jun, and the city has been lost."

The person who came was Ji Fen. He knew he was guilty, so he dared not wait for the lieutenant's report. He took the initiative to complete the apology in one go, and knelt in front of Sima Cuo, and didn't dare to raise his head.

Sima looked at Ji Fen in shock and looked at the series of lightning-like apology that he had completed almost instantly, and then listened to what he reported. His eyes widened to the maximum, his mouth opened, and he couldn't even understand what Ji Fen was talking about.

Sima was stunned for about a quarter of an hour, and then he realized, and he said, "What did you say? Are you saying true? You said that Ning Jun has occupied Jiaoyang City! How is this possible?"

Sima Cuo was also extremely anxious, so he seemed incoherent. The news was like a bolt from the blue, leaving him without any preparation for accepting it.

Ji Fen lowered his head, kowtowed three times in a row, cried out completely, and replied: "Ning Jun led the Hezong Army, which was far more than the Jiao Yang defender, suddenly appeared at the city of Jiao Yang. The last general led his troops to fight hard, but in the end he was outnumbered. In order to protect the strength of our army, I led the large army to retreat."

In order to avoid crime, Ji Fen certainly had to exaggerate the strength of some of the enemy troops that had attacked Jiaoyang City. He also deliberately stated that his withdrawal of Mianchi was for the reason of retaining the vitality. In this way, Ji Fen was not only innocent, but also had achievements.

But Sima Cuo was so easy to get away with it. After understanding what Ji Fen did, he cursed in anger: "You can't attack Shangguan City, but you can't capture it. If you go to Xipi to ambush Su Qin, you will be beaten back to Jiaoyang City. Now you can't even defend Jiaoyang City. What kind of face do you have to say and save your strength."

Sima Cuo became more and more angry as he spoke. He ordered his followers to say: "Come here, tie up this candle for me and take it aside. After I find out the battle situation in Jiaoyang City, I will deal with it."

Ji Fen knew that he was in the wrong, so he accepted the bondage with tears in his eyes. He did not argue too much. At this time, he really wished he could die to relieve this great humiliation.

Behind him, a large number of Qin soldiers who had retreated from Jiaoyang City gradually came up. These people were abandoned and ran away in panting. Among the deserters, there was another person who was supported by everyone and walked towards Sima Cuo weakly.

Sima Cuo looked carefully and found that this person was Pang Ci, who followed Ji Fen's troops and served as deputy general for Ji Fen. Sima Cuo hurriedly ordered the messenger to find Pang Ci.

Pang Ci came to Sima Cuo. He ignored his physical injuries and knelt down for Sima Cuo like Ji Fen, and said directly: "I will be guilty, but I will be guilty."

Sima Cuo still admires Pang Ci very much, and when he sees that he is seriously injured, he feels a little sympathetic. Sima Cuo said, "General Pang doesn't have to kneel on the ground, you get up and talk."
