The large tent of the Chinese army of the Five Kingdoms was located in Jicheng, on the border between Qin and South Korea, in the Chu region.
At this time, the generals of the five countries gathered together to discuss the strategy of attacking Qin.
The one coming from the Chu State is Huang Xie, Lord Chunshen.
This prince was also one of the four princes of the Warring States Period. He once aided Zhao in destroying Lu, and his achievements were astonishing, so he was able to become the nominal commander-in-chief of the Five Kingdoms Allied Forces by virtue of his reputation.
However, Huang Xie's most famous thing in later generations was not his achievements, but the fact that he presented a beautiful woman named Li Yan to King Kaolie of Chu.
At that time, Li Yan already had Huang Xie's child in her belly, who would later become King You of Chu.
Using the strategy of occupying magpie's nests and doves to build a country has been extremely successful, which is rare in ancient and modern times.
At this time, Huang Xie, who appeared to be nearly sixty years old, tall and stout, was wearing armor and sitting at the head of the palace of the Jicheng garrison.
On the right side of his head, sitting is Pang Nuan, the famous general of Zhao State.
Pang Nuan is also getting older, but on the surface he is still in his prime, with tiger eyes like torches, wearing black and red armor, and looks majestic.
He is the nominal deputy commander of this joint army.
The Koreans came with Yuhou Han Yi, in addition to Longyang Jun of Wei State and Prince Dan of Yan State.
The Five-Road Allied Forces, with a total of more than 300,000 troops, were massive and powerful.
Lord Chun Shen looked around, feeling quite satisfied, and said slowly: "This time when our five kingdoms unite, we not only want to win, but we also want to kill more Qin troops so that the Qin people will no longer be prosperous."
Pang Nuan said: "That's right. With this alliance, we will definitely defeat Qin and avenge the Qin people for invading our countries for many years."
Han Yi also cheered up: "The alliance of the five countries is a grand event, and the troops should be directed towards it, so that the Qin people can taste defeat."
Prince Dan wore a dark blue robe and said solemnly:
"I went to Qin a few years ago to observe the power of the Qin people, and it was really prosperous. Zhao Huaizhong was quite heroic, so you'd better be cautious.
In this attack on Qin, I suggest that we advance slowly in order to secure victory."
Pang Nuan's eyes narrowed slightly and he said sarcastically: "The five kingdoms have joined forces, but the prince is still wary of the Qin people. How brave he is."
Soon after Yan and Wei Gang attacked Zhao.
Pang Nuan had many battles with people from both countries, and many of his soldiers were killed and wounded. Naturally, he did not like Wei and Yan.
Chun Shenjun was worried that the two sides would quarrel, so he took over the conversation: "The prince's suggestion is a safe strategy, and it is also what I think!"
He then turned his attention to Long Yangjun, who was dressed in white and looked more charming than a woman.
His eyes were looking at Long Yangjun's charming face: "Long Yangjun, what do you think of this coalition?"
Lord Long Yang pursed his lips and said with a smile: "My king said that King Qin has just assumed power, and this alliance is our gift to him for enthroning the throne. We must make King Qin never forget it.
I suggest that Han, Yan, and our three kingdoms of Wei join forces and attack Qin from the center. Zhao attacks from the right and Chu from the left.
Such a three-pronged attack can not only support each other, but also make it difficult for the Qin people to take care of each other."
"good!"
Chun Shen Jun laughed and said: "Long Yang Jun's proposal agrees with mine. If the generals have no objections, we will divide our troops into three groups, coordinate with each other, and advance towards the Qin territory at the same time to see how the Qin people can resist our attack. "
Pang Nuan is the most knowledgeable person here.
The other people's eyes fell on him, and when they saw him pondering for a moment and then slowly nodded, they decided on the strategy of dispatching troops in three directions.
The group of people discussed until the afternoon and then dispersed to do their own business.
————
Xu Huang is thirty-two years old this year, with an ordinary appearance, an ordinary person's body shape, an ordinary person's face, short eyebrows and small eyes.
The most outstanding feature on his face is his nose, which has a high bridge.
No one knew that this seemingly unremarkable young and middle-aged man, who had been a veteran of the Chu army for many years and had a pure Chu identity, would be a secret agent placed by Ye Yufu in Jicheng for ten years.
, deeply rooted in Jicheng.
Xu Huang spent the entire afternoon on duty at the Jicheng garrison mansion. He didn't leave the mansion until the evening, when he came out of the mansion and walked slowly home.
His family lived in a small courtyard on the edge of the city. There was a woman in the family who was also ordinary, silent and not good at talking, but very cheerful.
Naturally, this woman is also a spy under Ye Yufu.
The two had a purely working relationship at first, but as time went by, they developed a deep friendship, and over time, they knew each other's ins and outs.
At this time, Xu Huang wandered all the way home. When he entered the door, he saw the woman bending down to sweep the yard. The home was as peaceful as usual.
But the moment he closed the courtyard door, he became as quick as a rabbit, dodged into the house, and took out a birdcage covered with black cloth from the secret compartment under the bed.
After a while, Xu Huang sealed a piece of paper with only eight seal characters on it and tied it under the bird's claw in the cage.
The little bird in the cage flapped its wings and disappeared in the sky of Ji City in the blink of an eye.
Xu Huang breathed a sigh of relief, returned to his lazy look, came out of the room, and exchanged glances with the woman.
The two of them did not communicate with each other. The woman took out the steamed yellow rice, two plates of pickled vegetables, and a portion of hot sauerkraut.
When the two of them were busy eating, Xu Huangcai said in a low voice: "We have received a reply from the house. Now that this matter is over, you can go back first."
The woman muffled: "What about you, how long will it take?"
"I'm in the Jicheng garrison, and my status is hard-earned, so I won't leave yet.
After you left, I told you that you were in an accident when you went home to visit your relatives. Now that the monster is raging, it won't arouse anyone's suspicion. It's a good opportunity to get away. Don't worry, I will take care of myself. Just wait for me. We will eventually
There will be a time when we meet again." Xu Huang spoke quickly and urgently.
The woman lowered her head and stopped talking.
The two fell silent again.
Later, the woman went to rinse the dishes with well water, while Xu Huang lazily stared at the setting sun.
At this time, a young man wearing a gray robe with a straight and majestic figure walked into the small courtyard where the two of them were.
Xu Huang glanced at the young man and his expression changed instantly.
It wasn't because the young man in gray robe had a mocking expression and obvious hostility on his face, but because in his hand he actually held the little bird he had just used to send the message.
The next moment, the young man opened his mouth, and the bird exploded into a ball of blood mist and was swallowed into his mouth.
"This bird of yours flies very fast. It took a lot of time to catch it back, which allowed you to live a little longer." The young man in gray robe said calmly.
Xu Huang jumped up, and the wooden pillar that was sitting under his butt flew through the air towards the gray-robed young man.
But he saw the young man's hands were like lightning, and he smashed the wooden pillar into pieces with one palm.
Click!
Xu Huang barely had time to dodge, and was slapped on the forehead by the other party, causing his forehead to crack immediately.
The woman not far away had already pounced on him like a female leopard, fearless and fearless.
boom!
The young man in gray robe kicked out, and the woman's chest collapsed, but before she breathed her last, she spat out a mouthful of bloody phlegm, which landed on the young man's instep.
The young man was furious, stepped forward, and kicked the woman until her whole body exploded into bloody pieces.
At this time, Xu Huang's body slowly fell to the ground, his eyes widened.
The young man sneered, turned and left.
A quarter of an hour later, he arrived at a mansion in the city.
In a room of that mansion, Pingyuan Lord Zhao Sheng was sitting.
He was concentrating with his eyes closed, and an ancient clock hung beside him.
"People from Ye Yu Mansion are everywhere. In the past few days, seven or eight people have been picked out and executed. I wonder if we can attract the senior officials of Ye Yu Mansion and kill them to weaken the power of the Qin people." The young man took a sip.
Mouth.
"Many of the spies arranged by the Qin people here have been damaged. After they discover something unusual, someone will definitely come to ambush them." Zhao Sheng looked gloomy.
"Your Excellency is hiding behind the scenes and trying his best to promote this alliance. What is your plan?" asked the young man in gray robe.
"You just need to do your own thing and don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask."
Zhao Sheng said calmly: "You go down, it's time for me to practice."
After the young man left, Zhao Sheng took out a porcelain vase, poured out a blood-colored elixir, swallowed it, and began to practice with his eyes closed.
Night falls.
Xianyang.
King Zhuang Xiang sat silently in Zhangtai Palace.
Zhao Jixing came over in a hurry, took the time to chat with him and said: "Your Majesty has not spoken for the whole hour, why are you worried?"
"When Zheng'er first took charge of the Qin Dynasty, he encountered the alliance of the five kingdoms. If our Qin people are defeated in this battle, I am afraid it will damage the foundation and make me feel uneasy." King Zhuang Xiang said.
"We, the people of Qin, are becoming stronger every day, and Zheng'er is a saint. We will not lose." Zhao Ji said disapprovingly.
"If you don't understand national affairs, if the five countries unite, your combat strength will reach more than 300,000.
And our country, Qin, has been building water conservancy projects in recent years, which has consumed a lot of national power and has many unfavorable factors. The current situation is really unpredictable." King Zhuang Xiang sighed.
Previously, the six kingdoms had united four times to fight against the Qin people.
The Qin people lost two and won one, and did not fight once. They were defeated twice, and the losses were heavy, which is still fresh in the Qin people's memory.
Nowadays, only He Zong can scare the people of Qin.
The coming of the Five-Nation Alliance was the most severe test since Zhao Huaizhong took office.
At this time, in the main hall of Xianyang Palace, Zhao Huaizhong was lighting up the lamp to look at the geography of the border between the Qin people and the Five Kingdoms Joint Army.
Wang Jian, Lu Buwei and other ministers were also there, and the atmosphere was solemn.
Everyone had been discussing how to deal with the five-nation coalition forces until late at night.
After the ministers dispersed, Zhao Huaizhong wrote several letters at his desk and pushed them into the void one after another, disappearing into the distance.
The next day, Wang Jian led his army to leave Xianyang and went straight to the front line to join Meng Ao in order to deal with the power of the five-nation coalition.
In mid-May, the five-nation coalition officially raised troops and launched the fifth joint attack on Qin.
The war is about to break out.
The five-nation coalition attacked Qin. The enemy and we, with a total of more than 500,000 soldiers, fought fiercely on the border of Qin.
The five-nation allied forces were divided into three groups as planned. In the middle group, Wei, Han, and Yan united to fight fiercely with the Meng Ao tribe, and they were evenly matched.
Zhao Jun and Chu Jun followed closely behind, attacking from both sides.
The total strength of the Five Route Allied Forces was nearly twice that of the Qin people. Meng Ao was surrounded by enemies on three sides and his soldiers were also in a weak position. He was immediately defeated and retreated.
However, the five-nation coalition had different opinions on whether to pursue and how to pursue.
Chu, Zhao, and Wei all agreed to take advantage of the situation to pursue, while Yan believed that they should advance steadily.
The Koreans are the weakest, always shrinking back and wavering.
Finally, Chun Shenjun, Zhao generals Pang Nuan and Wei Longyangjun joined forces and led the army to pursue them all the way.
In the recent months since then, the coalition forces have fought against the Qin army four times, winning consecutive battles.
By mid-June, the unstoppable trend of the five countries was approaching the Yougu Pass line, and the troops were approaching Xianyang!
The news spread back to all parts of the five countries, and the clans of the five countries were overjoyed and their fighting spirit became even higher.
At this time, in the Five Nations Allied Forces camp, Huang Xie, Pang Nuan and others were also aggressive.
"The Qin army has been defeated in consecutive battles and has retreated to Yougu Pass. There is no place to retreat."
Huang Xie sat in the main seat of the military tent and spoke calmly.
As the commander-in-chief of the Five-Nation Alliance, personally leading the army to defeat the Qin people at the height of their power was undoubtedly another highlight moment in his life.
The consecutive days of victories and the defeat of famous Qin generals such as Meng Ao increased the ambition of the Hezong Army.
Pang Nuan said in a deep voice: "As long as we win one more battle and defeat the Qin army gathered at Yougu Pass, it is not impossible for our combined army to attack the center of the Qin people and shake the foundation of Qin."
"good!"
Huang Xie and Long Yangjun nodded at the same time, looking excited.
Everyone knew the military affairs and had several battles with Meng Ao along the way. They were sure that the Qin people were not showing weakness to the enemy and that the coalition's victory was a real victory. Therefore, everyone had great confidence and expectations in destroying Qin.
"We have gone deep into the Qin territory and prepared our military supplies such as food and grass. Is it safe?"
Pang Nuan had rich experience in commanding troops and knew that if the Qin army wanted to counterattack, the best way would be to attack the coalition's heavy supply of food and armaments to disrupt the coalition's momentum, so he asked in advance and was cautious.
"General Pang, don't worry. The food, grass and military equipment will be escorted by heavy troops from the five countries of our country. We will prepare from all sides and there will be no problem." Huang Xie said firmly.
"good!"
Pang Nuan looked in the direction of Xianyang, the capital of Qin, and said slowly: "When we defeat the Qin army tomorrow, we can go straight to the capital of Qin!"
The next day, the Hezong Army and the Qin Army faced off in front of Yougu Pass, with their flags fluttering.
Hundreds of thousands of soldiers lined up in a queue with no end in sight.
In the sky, the totems derived from the intertwined military formations of both sides slowly rose into the sky.
The three kingdoms of Zhao, Wei, and Han all inherited the fire virtues of the Jin Dynasty. The three kingdoms are all red giant birds, one is a red bird, and the other two are fire phoenixes.
The totems of the Chu people are quite complicated. In addition to a nine-headed bird, there is also a fire phoenix rising into the sky, which is extremely gorgeous.
There are also two totems of Yan, a flying fish with wings and a running tiger.
These mythical totems, which gathered all the efforts to evolve, started fighting after taking off.
More than 10,000 people in the Qin army were connected by strength and gathered into a black bird.
There are more than ten black birds in total, fighting against the military totems of the five countries.
The fluctuations caused by the confrontation of the power of these totems are vaguely greater than those of elementary saints. Under the collision of these mana totems formed by the gathering of thousands of people, the void creates ripples one after another, as if it is about to be broken.
"Drumming!" Pang Nuan said solemnly.
Dong~dong dong~!
In the direction of the coalition forces, the sound of drums shook the sky and the earth trembled.
Prince Dan stood on a chariot, at the forefront of the 60,000 Yan army, staring at the movements of the Qin people with burning eyes.
"The people of Zhao are beating drums to send a message that they are about to launch an attack on the Qin army. Do we, Yan, follow?" A Yan general asked.
"Our army will hold back and slow down, allowing Zhao and Wei to rush forward." Prince Dan said.
If the Zhao army goes forward and is consumed by the Qin army, the Zhao people will suffer heavy losses, which will benefit Yan even more.
"promise!"
At this time, the three armies of Wei, Zhao and Chu joined forces and began to approach the Qin army.
