Chapter four hundred and seventy-seven: the six countries unite, the bad news (1)
In the mid-autumn year of the 19th year of Zhaoshi.
After the Battle of Changping, all the six countries were afraid, so they met again and talked about the alliance mentioned by Su Ji. As Wei Wuji had expected, within a month, another large army gathered again to send troops to Qin.
This time, the troops were sent out in great might. The troops of the six countries came in full force. Birds and beasts dared not stay wherever they passed, and they all avoided them. The army united to recreate the style of the six countries when they had not declined.
The armored clothes of the Qin army and the Wei army were the same color, but the styles were different. Even if the two armies fought one place, they would not be hurt, let alone the purple of South Korea, the white of Luo State, the white of Qi State, the red of Zhao State, and the blue army of Chu State.
By just looking at the number of troops sent, we can see that Chu is the leader and the most sent troops. Luo State has been arguing without fighting or robbing in recent years, so it has sent the least.
Except for Zhao, there are not many soldiers to go out. Han, Zhao and Qi are all similar in number, with a population of up to 30% fewer than Chu. Even so, they are still a huge army.
The Qin army, who had also lost about 2,000 cyclists in Changping, was undoubtedly a worse matter. If you were not careful, you would be doomed. Fortunately, Qin Wenjin, Wang Jian and others were prepared for a long time and would not be caught off guard.
After many years, the Six Nations Alliance attacked Qin. After the destruction of four thousand soldiers of the Zhao army, they were threatened with destruction. Su Ji came forward to pull him and completed the joint coalition.
Flags were flying, and the flags of the six countries were wide open, rushing towards Hangu Pass of Qin.
The guard Gong Shang saw that the army of the six countries had come to Hangu Pass first, and was not afraid at all, and there was an expression of excitement in his expression.
Under the leadership of Leng Shuai, the soldiers who broke into Korea and surrounded him in front of Hangu Pass and became a caught fish. They caught the Han army off guard, fled everywhere, and surrendered to Qin in a hurry.
Since that battle, Gong Shang believed that he understood the combat power of the Korean soldiers. The Qin and Zhao army also realized that Zhao was not as good as Qin. Although there are soldiers from the six countries, in Gong Shang's view, they were not enough to compete with the Qin army. Otherwise, why would the six countries join forces?
Seeing the army of the six countries, he discussed with the city guarding generals of Hangu Pass to send troops to meet the enemy. He completely forgot the order that the king had issued: If a large army of the six countries attacked at Hangu Pass, he would refuse to fight.
In Gong Shang's view, refusing to meet the enemy was very similar to Lian Po of Zhao. He was futile to fear the reputation of the Qin army and was replaced. It was impossible for him, Gong Shang to see Lian Po's old scene again.
Therefore, despite the dissuasion of the generals, the Gong Shang insisted on going out to fight. The general who could not resist had to follow him. However, after the shogunate discussion came out, the generals returned to their own tents.
One of the generals was worried and always felt that something was going to happen, so his confidant personally sent a letter out.
The generals of Qin also understood why the first attack on Hangu Pass of the six countries was.
Hangu Pass is a barrier for Qin. This place can be attacked and retreated or defended. When Qin was in a strong state, all troops were sent out from here, attacking cities and plundering the land. If Qin failed in one day, he would immediately retreat to Hangu Pass. If people outside could not enter, he could rest safely.
The Hangu Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is a powerful force for one man to be able to open ten thousand men, which almost teaches Qin to be invincible. However, the veterans here understand that Hangu Pass is not impossible to break.
Today's guard Gong Shang, who was fighting with the army, had his titles increased day by day. Because of his youth, he could serve him for longer years. Therefore, he received the important task of protecting Hangu Pass.
When I was in the first selection, forgetting my youth also means restlessness. I have been here all year round and I have no battlefield to go on. It is very uncomfortable for a brave enemy to fight.
Especially when every time I send troops to the six countries, they all come out from here. I always watch others waving the spear in my hands, and if I have not moved my mind, it will definitely be a lie.
When Leng Shang came here to welcome the Korean army, he also brought Gong Shang out to greet him. However, in Gong Shang's eyes, everything was attributed to Leng Shang. For Gong Shang, it was over before it even started.
Therefore, the battle of the six kingdoms ignited the blood that had never been extinguished in Gong Shang's body. Regardless of Wang Jian's orders, he did not listen to the dissuasion of the generals, and insisted on leaving the pass to meet the enemy.
When he saw the generals of the six countries, his anxiety reached the highest point.
The leader was Su Ji, the prime minister of the Six Kingdoms, and the State of Wei was the King of Xinling. One of these two people was very smart and close to the demons, and the other was good at plotting and fighting. However, when they were good at fighting, they would mention the generals from Qi.
The general of Qi State was a veteran. King Ping of Qi rarely asked him to fight. Although this person fought few times, he was thrilling every time and had no great defeat.
The first person who became famous was when King Huan of Qi was in the first battle with Lu Qingchen and Qin's reforms, and the Qin army was defeated.
Later, under the quiet action of the Qin army, the conflicts between the six countries became increasingly deeper. Qi and Luo were at war. Within 50 days, Luo State almost destroyed the country and lost half of its land. Fortunately, Luo State was now under the control of the Luo State, which gradually recovered its vitality.
Later, he had a dispute with Chu State and sent troops to Chu State, using the advantages of mountains, rivers and terrain, to go south and defeat the elite Chu army and kill Tang Mei, the prime minister of Chu State.
After the Chu army was defeated, the land north of Wan and Ye of Chu was captured by Han and Wei. After the Prime Minister of Chu died, his subordinates rebelled and once captured Yingdu, the Chu State, and the Chu State ruled by several places.
Now this man and the soldiers of the six countries came to attack Qin together. How could he be at ease? In the eyes of the side-born guards, he could only think of fighting with the six countries and could not listen to anything.
No one who can control Gongshang is here.
For example, Leng Shuai is far away in Yulin, so he is unable to catch up. Wang Jian is still in the Lantian camp to prepare for the six countries to raid other places, and Qin Wenjin is far away in Xianyang, so he is unable to reach his hand.
Therefore, after seeing off his confidant, the general thought about it but was still uneasy, so he turned to the shogunate again.
When Gong Shang saw people leaving and returning, he wanted to suppress them. The beating heart was unable to understand the method, so he did not restrict it and let it beat. Instead, he asked, "Is there anything else left behind by General Wang Yi?"
The general who called Wang Yi replied: "Wang Yi really wants to talk to the general if he has something to do."
Gong Shangqi asked, "What's the matter?"
"The six countries are coming in full force this time. Do the generals really want to face the enemy? Hangu Pass can rely on this pass and defend it here. If you go out to meet the enemy, it will be inappropriate." Wang Yi said with consideration.
However, Gong Shang changed his face instantly. He said, "This pass can be defended and advanced. How can there be something wrong? None of the six countries can defeat our Qin army. Besides, Zhao was defeated soon, and the morale was at a low point.
General Wang Yi should not mention this again, to enhance the ambition of other countries and destroy the prestige of our Qin State.”
After saying that, he turned around and left the shogunate, leaving only the king alone.
