The clouds were covered with dark clouds and the north wind blew. Snowflakes were rotating and falling onto the vast land, and the world soon turned into white.

Deep in the dense forest, soldiers wearing soft black clothes were particularly conspicuous. They gathered in the depths of the forest and did not dare to make fire. They could only chew the frozen cakes in the snow. These were the dry food they brought before they set off, and they only had enough to eat for a few days.

At this moment, only Diecui followed Hu Hai, and Ren Xiao was sent back by him to inform the three commanders of an important news: Zhou Wen's grain and grass were burned and he could attack.

In fact, such a big disturbance was that Hu Hai did not send anyone to inform him. Meng Tian, ​​Wang Ben, and Zhang Han, several generals who were good at fighting had already realized that there was chaos behind Zhou Wen.

The fighter opportunity was fleeting, and the three armies of the Qin Dynasty had already started to move under the leadership of the three marshals.

Hu Hai took a hard bite of the frozen hard and tough pancake, grabbed the snow and put it in his mouth, and chewed it hard. While eating, he talked with the soldiers around him about the feat of sneaking into Zhou Wen's granary in the early morning.

The soldiers were all very excited. This sneak attack was very small and almost negligible. At this time, the Emperor of Qin accompanied them to chew frozen hard cakes and eat snow water from the sky. These originally reluctant soldiers suddenly felt that the emperor in front of them seemed pretty good, unlike what they had imagined before.

A special feeling permeated the hearts of these soldiers, and the cohesion of this army was unprecedentedly powerful. The soldiers' eyes gradually became different when they looked at the emperor. The emperor killed the enemy together, drank snow water together, and ate big cakes together. There was no special feature in the emperor. Except for a handsome guard who followed him, he was not much different from ordinary soldiers in food, clothing, housing and transportation.

This method of integrating into the army and leading by example has won the morale of the army. Unconsciously, Hu Hai's image was deeply imprinted in the hearts of these soldiers of the Qin Dynasty. At this moment, they were willing to follow the young emperor in front of them to defend the Qin Dynasty.

Hu Hai was waiting. He believed that Ren Xiao would be able to successfully report the news and the judgment of the three marshals. Now, the soldiers of 30,000 people attracted Zhou Wen's 150,000 troops.

Although the situation was dangerous, Hu Hai understood that as long as he persisted in this crisis, it would be the time when Zhou Wenpojun was defeated.

Soon, a group of soldiers wearing soft black clothes rushed from a distance, and it was the scout sent by Hu Hai.

Seeing the serious expressions of these scouts, Hu Hai knew that the situation outside must be extremely dangerous and dangerous.

"Fortunately, I took Zhang Chujun's military uniform in Songxiang. At the critical moment, I'm afraid I have to rely on these things to make a false and real slug out of the encirclement." Hu Hai rubbed his frozen stiff hands and made a 30,000 army of troops break out of the encirclement. It's not easy.

Diecui thoughtfully gave him a fox fur, but was gently pushed away by Hu Hai. He and the soldiers shared the joys and sorrows, and he refused to wear fox fur by himself, so that the soldiers could be frozen.

It was getting late, and the snow that had been falling for the whole day suddenly turned into heavy snow when night fell, falling down. Fortunately, there was snow but no wind, but it felt a little bit more relaxed than usual cold weather.

There were two people who came back with the heavy snow, one was Ren Xiao and the other was Meng Tian’s confidant.

The news brought back by Ren Xiao was that the commander of the three armies had sent troops, and the Qin and Zhang Chu had a decisive battle tonight.

Meng Tian's confidant brought back only more than 50,000 defenders in Hangu Pass. What's even more exciting is that the guard general of Hangu Pass actually sent 50,000 troops from the station to surround Hu Hai and the others.

After receiving this news, Hu Hai could only smile bitterly.

Unexpectedly, he led these soldiers to almost die for the first time in command of the battle. At this moment, Hu Hai suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of responsibility.

These soldiers were loyal to the Qin Dynasty and the emperor. If they could not bring them out of the encirclement safely, even if they escaped alive, Hu Hai's heart would not be safe.

There were 100,000 enemy troops in front, and 50,000 troops in the rear were intercepted by Hangu Pass.

In this almost desperate situation, Hu Hai's eyes suddenly lit up. The news brought by Meng Tian's confidant suddenly appeared in his mind: Hangu Pass was out in full swing and chasing him.

If I really just escape like this, or collided with the 100,000 troops in front, or confronted with the 50,000 Hangu soldiers in the rear.

Maybe he could escape by chance, but he could take these soldiers from the Qin Dynasty with him, and there would definitely be countless casualties.

"We seek wealth and honor in danger!" This sentence popped up in Hu Hai's mind: "Let's change our clothes and go to Hangu Pass."

Hu Hai immediately asked Ren Xiao to take out a total of 30,000 Zhang Chujun's military uniforms. These were all the spoils of Songxiang. When Hu Hai snatched these military uniforms, he didn't think much about it. He just thought that these were all military supplies, and a little change could be turned into the Qin military uniform. Unexpectedly, this time it came in handy.

Driven by Hu Hai and Ren Xiao, nearly 30,000 people immediately changed into Zhang Chu's military uniform. However, each of them had a black scarf around their necks, which seemed to be used to cover the cold.

With Zhang Chu's equipment, they immediately caught fire in the woods and no longer hid their traces.

As soon as the sky was bright, Hu Hai walked out of his tent.

He looked at the direction of playing in the water from afar, wondering if the situation of the war was as good as history. Ren Xiao stood outside, looking at the direction of playing in the water from afar. Seeing that the second emperor was so worried about the country, he felt even more awe in his heart. Diecui, who was always holding a fox fur in his hand, but Hu Hai refused to put it on.

Thirty thousand people were ready to go very early.

In the army, the Zhang Chu flag was waving in the wind. Several flags embroidered with the word "Zhou" were interspersed among the large group of people.

Ren Xiao was riding on a horse and carrying a gun, standing under the banner of the word "Zhou", while Hu Hai was dressed in a side of Ren Xiao, riding a horse.

"Go to Hangu Pass and set off." Ren Xiao was like a general. With a wave of his hand, he immediately led his horse to the direction of Hangu Pass along the road. Behind him, 30,000 people followed closely.

The general of Hangu Pass led his troops out. At this moment, the guard was left to guard a young general who was recruited by Zhou Wen by the former Zhao State border. The young general was named Li Yuan. The white robe and white armor made him good at shooting skills, and the general was full of anger and furious.

The emptiness of the city of Guancheng is a taboo in military strategists. Li Yuan desperately advised the general, but was criticized as a coward and stayed in Guanzhong of Hangu.

There were only 5,000 left-behind soldiers, and their combat power was the weakest in the army, and they were directly led by Li Yuan.

It was not that Li Yuan had thought that the Qin army would attack Hangu Pass, but there would not be too many people on the other side. Hangu Pass was easy to defend but difficult to attack. Five thousand troops were stationed, and even if there were 50,000 Qin soldiers, they could not predict that Hangu Pass could not be captured. With what he learned, Li Yuan believed that the Qin army would come and kill as many soldiers.

There was a heavy snow last night, and Li Yuan did not sleep all night. According to spies, the Qin army sneaked into the granary of Song Township at night. The heavy snow this night was hard to guarantee that the Qin army would not repeat the same trick. Li Yuan was with the soldiers on the city all night. The soldiers loved this young general very much because he knew how to lead by example and share the joys and sorrows at such a young age.

Almost since entering Hangu Pass, Li Yuan has been hiding with the soldiers, kind and majestic, generous and strict. He should be human and rigorous. He should be human and rigorous. In this irregular Zhang Chu military camp, there are few generals like Li Yuan who are famous as a general.

After a night of heavy snow, the sun finally showed a dismal face from behind the clouds.

After sighing, Li Yuan knew that this night had passed, which meant that Hangu Pass was safe for another day, and the Qin army could not attack in any way.

Just as he turned around and was about to leave the city tower, he suddenly found a huge group of people and horses appeared in the white world in the distance. The team of people was moving slowly, as if they were not in a hurry.

"All soldiers, climb to the city to guard." With Li Yuan's order, the soldiers guarding the city immediately climbed to the top of the city, and the archers were even hiding behind the battlements of the city wall. For a moment, Hangu was closed, and the bow was lifted out of the sheath. The fighting spirit spread from Li Yuan's body to every soldier.

Soon, the team came to Hangu Pass.

Li Yuan found that the other party was under the banner of his own, relaxed, and lay on the top of the city and asked, "Where are you from?"

Ren Xiao looked at the city with his hands and replied loudly: "General Li, I am a general under General Zhou Wen. The general heard that the Qin army had attacked Songxiang, and was afraid that Hangu Pass would be in trouble, so he ordered me to come and obey the general's orders."

Li Yuan was arrogant when he was young and thought that Zhou Wen was too long-winded. Zhang Chu had no talent in this regard. I heard that Liu Bang, who called himself Pei Gong, was a hero, and he would be the one who had the chance to join him in the future.

"Li Heng, go down and take a look at their official articles." As Li Yuan greeted, a strong figure had disappeared from the city.

A gap was opened in Hangu Pass, and the young Li Heng flashed and rushed out. The huge city gate closed again with a bang behind him.

Ren Xiao, who was under the banner, looked at Li Yuan on the top of the city and smiled in his heart. Since he had the courage to come and cheat the city, he had already prepared it.

Li Heng was Li Yuan's entourage since childhood. He had good skills and was very good at writing and writing. He took Guan Wen and looked carefully, turned around and shouted loudly at the top of the city: "It's true, let it go."

"Kaicheng." Li Yuan passed the order.

"Kaicheng." A soldier shouted to the city.
