Since the traitor Xiang Kang and the anti-Qin hero Chen Sheng launched a series of rebellions, the Qin army has suffered countless defeats, and there are many who have lost even more miserably in the battle between Wuguan. However, no matter which battle, it is absolutely impossible for Wuguan to lose so cowardly, depressed and unwilling to accept it!

Where is Wuguan? Qin Chu's throat, Guanzhong's key! Although he was broken twice before this, those two battles were not defeated, and those two battles were broken into mountains of corpses and blood flowing into rivers. The attacking city was just a mountain of corpses higher than the city wall. In another historical plane, Liu Laosan ordered a revenge on his army's siege because his army suffered too many casualties in the siege battle. It is conceivable that the hardships and hardships of attacking Wuguan were siege.

In this historical plane, the Young Marshal's resistance to attacking Wuguan was actually greater than that of Liu Laosan. Because of the influence of Xiang Kang's demon moth's wings, the pressure on the front battlefield of Hangu Pass was not very huge. The Qin court also sent Li Cai, the son of the famous Qin army general Li Xin, to lead 6,000 elite Guanzhong troops to reinforce Wuguan, making up for the relatively weak military strength of Wuguan. It was almost in hand and had sufficient troops. Even if the Guanzhong Qin army, which had been distracted for a long time, was not as good as the Young Marshal's army in terms of individual quality and battlefield experience, it should be made to pay a heavier price to win Wuguan.

But the final outcome made everyone fall into glasses. Because of a forged surrender book, a wooden seal, an envoy who could not stand the torture, and all kinds of accidents gathered together. The Qin army in Guanzhong and the Qin army in Wuguan actually fought fiercely and could not get along. When the Young Marshal's Army took advantage of the situation to launch a strong attack, the traitor and scum in the Qin army jumped out to make trouble again, and opened the east gate of Wuguan to welcome the Young Marshal's Army into the city, and completely handed over the Wuguan natural danger to the despicable villain Xiang Kang and Xiang Shaomar.

After the city was broken, the Wuguan Qin army, which was extremely frustrated, resisted hard in the street fighting. Li Cai, who suffered aggrieved, did not take the past grievances and immediately led the Guanzhong Qin army to launch a counterattack, trying to retake Wuguan Guan City. However, the situation was gone. The strong young commander army rushed into the city in an endless stream, killing the Wuguan Qin army that was fighting against the street fighting with a crushing force, and successfully repelled the Guanzhong Qin army's counterattack. He forcibly took Wuguan Guan City at a price far smaller than expected. The Wuguan Guard Wang Bang lost his army and committed suicide. He went to the Jiuquan to apologize to Qin Shihuang. Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Cai could only quickly lead the Guanzhong Qin army to the west and retreat to the dangerous place far west to re-establish a camp. At the same time, he sent a quick horse back to Xianyang to report the bad news that Wuguan had lost.

The fierce street fighting lasted until midnight before it basically ended. The next morning, when Xiang Kang, who was successful in the villain, led the young commander's army and civil and military personnel into the east gate of Wuguan, the narrow Wuguan city was already full of blood corpses. The fire caused by the fierce battle also burned most of the houses and streets in Wuguan city. The people in the city were displaced and could only cry in pain among the ruins, looking very pitiful.

"Didn't kill innocent people indiscriminately?"

According to convention, Xiang Kang was the same as after each time he broke the city. When he entered the city, his first sentence was to hypocritically ask about the situation of the people in the city. When he learned that the young generals did not take advantage of the chaos or kill the people, and he allowed the desperate Qin soldiers to put down their weapons and surrender, Xiang Kang nodded with satisfaction and ordered: "Send the order to help the people, and open warehouses and release relief, so that these poor civilians cannot be hungry."

He had long been accustomed to Xiang Kang's false benevolence and righteousness. Zhou Shen, who was in charge of logistics affairs, immediately agreed and immediately organized people to appease the people in the city. Xiang Kang issued orders one after another to ask the young army soldiers to clean the battlefield as soon as possible to avoid the plague caused by the body. Wang Bang, the guard general of the Qin army who committed suicide and died in his country, also asked for a grand funeral to commit suicide. At the same time, he couldn't wait to arrange for the scout to conduct a detailed reconnaissance to the west, to grasp the situation of the Qin army west of Wuguan. He worked hard for a long time before sitting down to rest.

The Qin army's command center was severely damaged in the street fighting, and there were blood everywhere in corpses and blood. She could not move in yet. Xiang Kang had to lead the young commander's military and civil servants to the city tower at the west gate of Wuguan and sit down to rest. Looking at the mountains and ridges to the west, Xiang Kang felt a lot of emotion and suddenly asked everyone: "Everyone, do you say that we have taken Wuguan, are you already entering Guanzhong?"

"Of course." The young generals and civil and military officials said one after another: "Wu Pass has been the Qin-Chu border for hundreds of years. After we broke through Wu Pass, we are certainly going to enter Guanzhong."

After answering Xiang Kang's question, Zheng Bu, an old accomplice, couldn't wait to say: "Right General, we first entered Guanzhong. According to the order of our King of Chu, those who entered Guanzhong first became kings, and you can directly be named kings. The last general suggested that you, the Right General, might as well call yourself the King of Qin from now on. When we attack Xianyang and overthrow the violent Qin, we will hold the throne ceremony immediately and officially establish a new Qin State."

The young generals and civil and military officials agreed, but Xiang Kang smiled and shook his head, saying, "We just entered Guanzhong and had not taken over Xianyang yet. If I call myself the King of Qin now, it would be too unreasonable. And you also know my temper. At the beginning, I was only to overthrow the violent Qin Dynasty and rebuild the State of Chu. I never had any inappropriate thoughts about the throne."

After a few words of hypocrisy and polite words, Xiang Kang suddenly changed his words and said loudly: "But now, I also figured it out that I am not greedy for the throne, but if I don't call myself king, I can't thank you all the civil servants and generals who are loyal to me and the soldiers of the three armies! So don't worry, for you and for your soldiers under your command, I will never give up the throne again, because only in this way can I have a veritable position of lord (private) marquis to thank you for your bloody battles, and also for your fiefs and fiefs to reward you for your life and death, and have fields and houses to thank our soldiers in the army! So I can also guarantee that all the generals and officials have followed me in the past few years, and will never work hard in vain and end up getting nothing."

After all, Xiang Kang had suffered a great loss of taking over the Huai Si territory. Seeing that Xiang Kang finally showed his fangs, he clearly stated that he wanted to call himself Wang Jianguo and reward the heroes. Of course, all the young generals and civil and military officials were overjoyed. They hurriedly stood up and bowed to Xiang Kang, rushing to bow and said, "The King is so kind, we are so grateful! Please rest assured, we will follow the King to the death, assist the King in achieving the great cause of kingdom and domination, and thank the King for his kindness as the Heaven."

Xiang Kang laughed loudly and hurriedly said, "Everyone please get up quickly, please get up, and I'm still the same thing. Don't rush to call me the king now, and let's talk about it when we take Xianyang."

According to Xiang Kang's instructions, the young generals and civil and military soldiers stood up one after another. Because Xiang Kang finally expressed his intention to become king, everyone smiled and was extremely excited. However, just when the young generals and civil and military soldiers were excited, figures flashed on the steps, and Han Cheng, the bare King of Han, suddenly led Han Xin and Zhang Liang up, and bowed to Xiang Kang from afar, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the King of Qin, congratulations to the King of Qin, the King of Qin, the King of Qin broke through Wu Pass, and completed the order to rebel against the leader of the Qin alliance, and finally soared into the sky and established a foundation that will not be easy forever."

"This guy must have heard what I said just now." Xiang Kang murmured in his heart, smiled and said with a modest smile, "King Han must not hand me this way. I am just taking Wuguan now and stepping into Guanzhong, it is still early to take Xianyang."

"The King of Qin is too humble. With the King of Qin's troops and horses and the use of troops as strong as a god, I will take down Xianyang. Isn't it easy to win over Xianyang?" Han Cheng laughed and said, "Xiao Wang is brave enough to ask the King of Qin to lend a helping hand after he officially ascended the throne and help Xiao Wang rebuild South Korea. Xiao Wang will also thank the King of Qin for his great kindness to restore the country, and to become a brotherly country with the King of Qin for generations."

"To put it nicely, if there is really one day, you and I won't fight for the city and land within three years, there will be ghosts." Xiang Kang continued to murmur in his heart, but his face still had a kind smile, and he agreed happily: "If there is really one day, please rest assured that King Han will do his best to help King Han restore the country."

Knowing that Xiang Kang has a good credit and has never done anything without trust, Han Cheng was of course overjoyed and hurriedly thanked Xiang Kang repeatedly, put down his airs and tried his best to compliment the important civil and military officials present, and chatted and laughed happily with everyone. Han Xin also tried his best to help and compliment Xiang Kang.

On the contrary, Zhang Liang, who was less and less estranged from Xiang Kang, did not rush to flatter him. He just sat next to Han Cheng with a smile and listened to the people laughing. When Xiang Kang accidentally noticed Zhang Liang, Zhang Liang also winked at Xiang Kang and said to the side. Xiang Kang understood what Zhang Liang meant, so he got up and walked around the wall casually. After a lot of time, Zhang Liang followed him alone, leaving everyone alone and talking to Xiang Kang.

"What do you want to give me advice?" Xiang Kang asked casually looking at the mountains and forests in the distance.

"For the Right General, the words of the Foreign Minister should be unnecessary." Zhang Liang replied in a relaxed tone: "But the Foreign Minister still wants to remind the Right General, although the situation of the Right General is now gratifying, you should not underestimate the enemy. After all, there is an equally steep gate on the west side of Wuguan. In addition, the tyrannical court has an well-equipped lieutenant army in Xianyang, and its strength cannot be underestimated. Right General, you can't guarantee that you will be able to take Xianyang and the entire Guanzhong."

"Thank you for your advice, but I'm relieved. My nephew said those words just now, absolutely not to underestimate the enemy's carelessness." Xiang Kang nodded slightly and said sincerely: "I have to give them an explanation for those words. Since the rebellion of Huai Si, they have been following me loyally. Even when I was in a downturn and lost power, they did not betray the betrayal. Now if I don't give them an explanation for it, even if they have no complaints, they will definitely think about whether it is worth it to continue to follow me."

"What the Right General said is very true. Now you should give them an explanation." Zhang Liang nodded, and also understood Xiang Kang's good intentions. Then Zhang Liang asked again: "General Right, what are you going to do next?"

"Of course, we should advance to the military gate as soon as possible, walk out of the mountain road, and break into the Guanzhong plain." Xiang Kang replied lightly.

When Zhang Liang heard Xiang Kang's words, he looked a little surprised, and he looked a little reluctant to speak. Xiang Kang noticed his reaction and said, "Uncle, please say it directly. You know that my temper is happy if you hear it. If my decision is wrong, it's okay to just say it directly."

"The Foreign Minister doesn't think that your decision is wrong by the Right General." Zhang Liang shook his head and said, "The Foreign Minister just thinks that you can adopt a better strategy for advancing, right general."

"What is a better advance strategy?" Xiang Kang asked quickly.

"Foreign ministers believe that the first thing you should do is to send a partial army to the right general, directly advance to Xunguan from Wuguan, and enter Hanzhong to seize the land of Hanzhong and Bashu." Zhang Liang replied: "Hanzhong Bashu is remote, and the tyrant Qin defenders are empty. You only need to send thousands of partial army to support the war. It is absolutely no problem to take down Hanzhong and Bashu. In this way, you can not only directly obtain a large area of ​​land, cities and a large amount of people, money and food, but also win two benefits."

"What's the benefit?" Xiang Kang asked hurriedly.

"First, weaken the tyrannical Qin, so that the tyrannical Qin court cannot draw manpower and material resources from Hanzhong Bashu to go north, prevent the right general from seizing Guanzhong, and reduce the resistance of the right general to take Guanzhong." Zhang Liang replied directly: "The second is that if you advance to Xianyang, you can also have an extra choice when retreating. After all, foreign ministers suggest that the right general you established Nanyang is a place of four battles, and it is difficult to defend. If the right general needs a stable rear to gain a foothold for a long time, the Hanzhong Bashu will definitely be a better choice than Nanyang."

He secretly praised Zhang Liang's strategic gaze, indeed, was long-term. Xiang Kang nodded and said, "My uncle just said that the first is to send a partial army to capture Bashu Hanzhong, what about the second?"

"Right General, the foreign minister has a bold idea. Don't blame the foreign minister for his whimsical thoughts after hearing this." Zhang Liang first gave Xiang Kang a shot, and then said: "Right General, you might as well send secret envoys to Xianyang while advancing to contact Zhao Gao, a powerful minister of the tyrannical court, and persuade Zhao Gao to surrender to you secretly, act as an internal supporter for you, help you break through the throne and take down Xianyang."

"Please Zhao Gao be an inner supporter?" Xiang Kang almost wanted to pinch his thighs and asked in surprise: "Uncle, how is this possible? How could Zhao Gao be an inner supporter?"

"Right General, why is this impossible?" Zhang Liang asked back, and said, "Right General, why don't you put yourself in the shoes of Zhao Gao? What is his situation now? Outside Hangu Pass, the coalition of princes has defeated the main force of the tyrannical Qin to only be able to resist, without the power to fight back, and there is no hope of winning. Now, you, the Right General, have broken through Wu Pass, entered the Qin territory in Guanzhong, and fought to the Lantian Mai Pass, the gateway to Xianyang. If the tyrannical Qin Emperor Hu Hai holds his ministers responsible, Zhao Gao, as the prime minister, will be the first to be the first to be affected. He is not afraid that Hu Hai will kill him to vent his anger like he killed Li Si, and use his head to give the tyrannical Qin soldiers and civilians an explanation?"

It was still necessary for Zhang Liang to give advice. Xiang Kang suddenly realized that Zhao Gao's current situation was indeed very bad. The situation in the Qin court was so bad that if Hu Hai wanted to find a scapegoat to give an explanation to the people of the world, Zhao Gao was indeed the first to be unable to escape. Zhao Gao was desperate and might choose to surrender to himself. No matter how bad history is, Xiang Kang still remembers that Hu Hai was killed by Zhao Gao himself.

Seeing the words and expressions, seeing that Xiang Kang had already understood the mystery, Zhang Liang continued: "Foreign ministers suggested that you should choose an eloquent envoy to sneak into Xianyang to secretly contact Zhao Gao, and tell him the benefits and interests, and promise him to use the king's fief to lure him into surrender. If this move fails, you will only lose an envoy, but if this matter is successful, you will enter Xianyang and will be a smooth road. There is no need to worry that the tyrannical court will completely give up the land outside the pass and withdraw all the land inside the pass to guard the mountains and rivers. Such a huge profit, why can't you try it?"

Xiang Kang calculated and said after a while: "It's worth a try, I'll arrange this in person."

After thanking Zhang Liang for his advice, Xiang Kang asked Zhang Liang again: "Uncle, is there anything else to guide my nephew about the strategy of advancing to the army?"

"No, the foreign minister is stupid. At present, they can only think of these two strategies that can be dedicated to the Right General." Zhang Liang shook his head, then moved his heart and asked hurriedly: "Right General, there is another thing, do you know that the current tyrant Qin Shiguanguan General, or is that ordinary man Chen Qiu?"

"It's too far away, and the road is seriously blocked, I don't know." Xiang Kang shook his head and asked again: "What? Uncle, do you know Chen Qiu, the general of the tyrannical Qin army?"

"I don't know, I just know this person a little." Zhang Liang shook his head and said, "Let's do it, General Right, when it comes to Shiguan Pass, if the tyrant Qin Shiguan is still Chen Qiu, please be sure to tell the foreign ministers, who may be able to help you a little."

When Xiang Kang agreed and quickly asked Zhang Liang what he could do to him, Zhang Liang shook his head and kept him in a silence, and said with a smile: "Let's talk about it then. If you say it now, the tyrant general of the tyrant Qin at the Shiguan Pass has changed again, and the foreign minister will make the right general happy in vain."

Seeing that Zhang Liang insisted on keeping a secret, Xiang Kang did not insist, and said a few words to Zhang Liang before going back. Zhang Liang remembered another thing and hurriedly said, "Justice Right, there is another small thing. Just now, I saw your soldiers opening warehouses and releasing grain in Wuguan City to help the Guizhou people in the city. I felt that this was not a solution. Wuguan is located in the canyon, with few land and soil, so it is impossible to support so many Wuguan residents. The left and right Nanyang is vast and sparsely populated. The right general might as well organize people to move them all to Nanyang to live. In this way, they do not have to worry about future food and clothing issues, but also eliminate hidden dangers in Wuguan City."

Xiang Kang felt a little nervous and hurriedly thanked Zhang Liang: "Thank you for your advice. Wu Guan is in a serious way, so you cannot leave hidden dangers, and you must be firmly grasped in your nephew's hands."

Seeing that Xiang Kang obeyed his own words and had never had the chance to show his strength, Zhang Liang was of course very pleased. He couldn't help but complain about his friend Xiang Bo again in his heart, and said to himself: "Brother, if I hadn't been blessed with you, I really don't know how many detours I would have to take."

Xiang Kang has always been a good person. He thought Zhang Liang's suggestions were very reasonable. After returning to the camp of the Young Marshal's Army, he immediately summoned a few confidants and told them Zhang Liang's suggestions. As a result, Zhou Zeng, Chen Ping, Zhou Shu, Li Shiqi and others all applauded and thought that Zhang Liang's three suggestions were long-term and the most secure. However, Xiang Kang immediately made a decision and decided to fully adopt Zhang Liang's three suggestions.

Next, of course, it is easy to organize the people of Wuguan to move to the hinterland of Nanyang. It is easy to send an auxiliary army to do it. Selecting a reliable general directly from Wuguan to enter Hanzhong was a big problem. What surprised the young general was that after careful consideration, Xiang Kang decided to send Li Shiqi's younger brother Li Shang to lead 5,000 troops to Hanzhong. His deputy joined the civil servants of the young general army as early as the time of the prime minister.

Seeing Xiang Kang attaching his brother so much, Li Shiqi was of course overjoyed and thanked Xiang Kang for his younger brother. Xiang Kang smiled and waved his hand to say no, and said that this was the reward for Li Shang to lead his army into Wuguan. However, he said in his heart: "Only your brother is the most suitable. He has little experience and no prestige. He cannot take away the army I assigned to him, and you stay by my side as a hostage. Even if he conquers Hanzhong, Bashu, there is no need to worry that he will be the king and become my opponent."

After the decision of the general of the partial division in Hanzhong, Xiang Kang of course found Mr. Shusun Tong as soon as possible. When Xiang Kang decided to send someone to Xianyang to persuade Zhao Gao to surrender, Mr. Shusun of course he collapsed on the ground and begged with sweat: "Right General, it's not that the lower officials are unwilling to serve, but that the lower officials have too many acquaintances in Xianyang. It's definitely still that he has been recognized before he saw the old thief of Zhao Gao, which will delay your military affairs!"

"Don't worry, Mr. Shusun, I didn't ask you to go there." Xiang Kang smiled and said, "I want you to recommend a disciple who is eloquent and familiar with Xianyang's situation to me, and let him go to Xianyang for me to contact Zhao Gao."

"You said it a long time ago, I'm scared to death." Mr. Shusun breathed a sigh of relief, wiped his cold sweat again, and immediately jumped up and said in a constant stream: "Don't worry, General Right, please go back and summon my disciples, know the truth and understand the righteousness of them, let them volunteer to volunteer, and volunteer to go to Xianyang to persuade the old thief Zhao Gao to surrender secretly! The official can also guarantee that the disciples of the official will definitely volunteer to take office without fear of hardships and dangers, and repay the right general for your long-term support for them. Thank you..."

"Okay, okay, go and do it quickly. If you choose someone, you will bring me to see me immediately." Xiang Kang interrupted impatiently, and muttered in his heart: "I don't have the courage to go to Xianyang to see Zhao Gao, and ask my disciples to take risks. If Kong Laoer knew that Confucianism had produced a scum like you, he would definitely be angry."
