Even if Li Shimin is alone, in terms of value, his value is still far higher than that of Hangu Pass. But if Qin Hao can really get Hangu Pass, what he can really get is far more than the value of one Hangu Pass.
First of all, after obtaining Hangu Pass, Sizhou's defense can be completely perfected. From now on, there will be Hulao in the east and Hangu in the west. Both the north and the south are their own territory. They can advance, attack, retreat, and defend. They are innately inseparable.
The place of defeat.
Secondly, once Hangu Pass is captured, it will also cut off the food route of the more than 40,000 elite Liang troops of the Wild King. This army of more than 40,000 people has become a turtle in the urn and will surely be wiped out by the Qin army sooner or later.
Finally, Yuwen Chengdu, one of the twelve super generals, was in the army of the wild king Yang Lin.
After Li Shimin transfers Li Yuanba away, with the strength of Li Cunxiao, Ran Min and Jiang Song in Bai Qi's army, he will definitely be able to capture Yuwen Chengdu alive.
The foundation of the Yuwen family can be found in Luoyang, and after the Qin army occupied Luoyang, after many attempts to win over the family, the Yuwen family headed by Yuwen Tuo had defected to Qin Hao.
It is true that Yuwen Chengdu is a loyal person, but his family has already surrendered to Qin Hao. Coupled with Qin Hao's arrangements around him, Qin Hao believes that Yuwen Chengdu will surrender to him sooner or later.
Once Yuwen Chengdu is conquered, Qin Hao will have won six of the twelve super generals. Who else will be his opponent in future battles in the world?
Under the "escort" of Dugu Qiufei, the three brothers and sisters of Li Shimin, plus Li Mochou, a total of four people, left Qixia Town and went to the Ye King's Baiqi Camp.
Bai Qi probably never expected that he would see Li Shimin in his camp and that he would come to help him break through Hangu Pass.
After Li Shimin left, Qin Hao did not leave Tongfu Inn. Although everyone in Tongfu Inn was surprised by this, they didn't think much about it. After all, it was always difficult to guess the thoughts of these big shots.
Unlike others who are big-hearted, Bai Zhantang seems a little uneasy. All the princes in the world are chasing him, which also makes him fear the princes.
Now that the most powerful prince in the world is right in front of him, and he can crush him to death with just a few fingers, how can Bai Zhantang not feel fear.
"This may also be an opportunity. As long as I hand over the Yitian Sword to Qin Hao, I can be completely freed. But will Qin Hao let me go after getting the Yitian Sword?"
Bai Zhantang is well aware of the temptation of the Tiangong treasure to the princes of the world, but the most important issue after obtaining it is to keep it secret, and once it is exposed, it will definitely arouse the fear of the princes of the world.
What's the best way to keep it secret? Naturally, it's to silence it.
Bai Zhantang was chased by the princes and had no way to go. He was naturally full of resentment towards the princes. In addition, Ji Wuming's fate after handing over the dragon-slaying knife was also extremely miserable, which made him even more afraid to expect the princes.
He would rather hide in an inn and work as a waiter than rely on the Heavenly Sword.
Compared with other princes, Qin Hao's reputation is good enough, but Bai Zhantang is not familiar with Qin Hao after all, so he does not trust Qin Hao.
Bai Zhantang was going to test Qin Hao's character first, and then decide whether to hand over the Yitian Sword, but the first words Qin Hao said to him made his heart freeze.
"The dignified thief is willing to stay as a boy. This inn is really not simple!"
Qin Hao narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, and this brilliant smile, in Bai Zhantang's eyes, was simply more terrifying than the devil's smile.
"It's over, it's over."
Bai Zhantang felt despair in his heart. He could not escape the pursuit by relying on his own strength like Chu Liuxiang. He could survive to this day under the pursuit of all the princes in the world. It was not because of how high his martial arts was, but because no one knew his true identity. But once
If his identity is exposed, dozens of county soldiers can arrest him.
"What, Lao Bai is actually the Thief Saint Bai Zhantang?"
After listening to Qin Hao's words, everyone in Tongfu Inn was shocked. Mo Xiaobei's eyes were even full of admiration, but Tong Xiangyu was extremely uneasy.
"Lao Bai, tell us about your glorious deeds." Li Dazui said with a grin.
"Yes, Brother Bai, since you can have the title of Thief Saint, you must have experienced a lot of adventures, right?"
Mo Xiaobei asked expectantly, and then Guo Furong and others also chattered with questions.
Looking at the simple-minded people, Bai Zhantang felt extremely bitter. The title of Thief Saint was just a self-proclaimed one. Ordinary thieves in the world might recognize it, but real masters would definitely sneer at it.
What's more, what if he is a real Thief Saint? In front of the government, let alone a Thief Saint, even a Sword Master is still an ant.
No matter how high one's personal strength is, he cannot confront the country!
"Lao Bai, run away quickly, I'll hold them off for you." Tong Xiangyu came to Bai Zhantang and whispered.
Bai Zhantang's heart was filled with emotion, but he couldn't escape despite everyone else. Regardless of whether he could escape now, if he really escaped, the people in Tongfu Inn would be dead.
.
As soon as he thought of this, Bai Zhantang immediately walked to Qin Hao and knelt down in front of Qin Hao. He said with a decisive look on his face: "Qin Hou, Bai Zhantang is willing to hand over the Yitian Sword. He only asks the Lord to let them go. They were just deceived by me and did not know that I
's true identity."
The time spent at Tongfu Inn was the happiest time in Bai Zhantang's life. There was no intrigue, no conspiracy, just laughter. This is the only pure land in troubled times. Bai Zhantang will never allow the joy of Tongfu Inn.
Broken by oneself.
Seeing this, Qin Hao couldn't help but a flash of appreciation flashed in his eyes, and said with a faint smile: "Oh, won't you plead for yourself? Maybe I will spare your life for the sake of your surrender?"
"No need, as long as the Marquis does not punish their crimes."
Qin Hao couldn't help but feel a little respect for this thief. A small person also has the dignity of a small person!
"I promise you."
When Bai Zhantang heard this, he felt relieved. A person of Qin Hao's level should not fail to keep his promise.
"Hand over the Yitian Sword, it's not something you can own."
Hearing what Qin Hao said, Bai Zhantang did not hesitate, walked to a pillar of the inn, and actually took out a shining sword from the pillar.
After Qin Hao took the sword, he just pulled it out and took a look, and he was sure that it was the Yitian Sword.
When Bai Zhantang saw Qin Hao drawing his sword, he thought Qin Hao wanted to execute him, and looked at everyone with nostalgia for the last time. He thought: Goodbye Xiangyu, goodbye everyone, goodbye Tongfu Inn, because of you, I, Bai Zhantang, will...
