Wuguan is one of the four major passes in the Guanzhong area. It occupies the right time and place. Historically, Liu Ji entered the pass from here and captured Xianyang. At that time, he led an army of 20,000.
Some people may think that Wuguan can be captured with only 20,000 troops. This pass is just mediocre. In fact, they are wrong. The reason why they can win is not the pass itself, but man-made.
At that time, Zhao Gao knew that the Qin Dynasty was in danger, so he wanted to please Liu Ji, but Wuguan failed to resist. Of course, it was also the persuasion of Chenliu personnel that caused Wuguan to retreat without fighting.
At this moment, Liu Ji's 20,000 men were captured outside the pass by Zhang Han's prisoner army. They were all in ragged clothes like defeated prisoners of war.
In fact, they were the heads of Guizhou who were forced to rebel by hunger. Their original intention was not for fame and wealth, but for food and clothing. Based on the situation at that time, only by overthrowing the Qin Dynasty could they not starve and their flesh and blood would not be separated.
But it failed in the end. After some time of torture, although he did not starve to death on the spot, he was no doubt like a beggar.
"Military advisor, will the young master really come to save us?"
A man of medium height with a beard, probably in his forties, asked the young man next to him. This man was Liu Ji. His face was full of anxiety, but he tried his best to remain calm, but his brows concealed it. Don't doubt yourself.
Since the uprising, every battle has been going so smoothly. I thought I was capable, but when I arrived at Wuguan, I was unable to fight back. Especially when I saw the Qin army who could not see anyone but could kill them miles away. Things even shattered his self-confidence.
Moreover, the miracle of the inexplicable sudden death of the general of the Qin army seemed to have left him and did not appear at all.
In this way, they were captured before they could solve the problem, making them extremely useless.
When everyone was depressed and thought they were certain to die, the military advisor gave them confidence, saying that the young master would come to save them and he would definitely be able to rescue them.
The military advisor was naturally Zhang Hanlin. With his cleverness and the news brought by the young master, he easily gained Liu Ji's trust and became the military advisor in one fell swoop.
But after waiting for so long, the young master was nowhere to be seen. Some people became desperate and had great doubts about the military advisor.
"Commander, are you deceiving us? This is the Qin Army. How can your young master be so capable?" Some leaders suspected that this was not very reliable. Their behavior was rebellion, and rebellion was a serious crime. Even if the young master's Even their fathers, who were ministers in the court, could not save them.
Their life and death are in the emperor's hands.
"Don't worry, my young master will definitely be able to save everyone. I can guarantee this. The young master is fully capable of this." Zhang Hanlin vowed, and his trust in the young master has reached an unshakable level.
It's not that he trusts blindly, it's that the young master is too perverted. Who can defeat tens of thousands of Guizhou leaders with just a few words, and even use inexplicable means to make thousands of troops disappear inexplicably.
This person is only the young master.
And the Qin army guarding them only has tens of thousands of people, so how can they defeat the young master.
But why didn’t the young master come to save them for so long? Maybe the young master had something important to do!
Aniu, the strongman, also echoed: "Yes, the young master is very powerful. He can kill a person without any movement. Do you think he has this ability?"
A Niu will never forget the way the young master subdued him. How could he not be able to save them with such means? It must be possible.
Moreover, he suspected that the young master was responsible for the sudden and inexplicable death of Qin generals in each battle. In fact, the way they died was too similar to the way he suffered at the hands of the young master.
It was so baffling that he collapsed without any warning. I am afraid that only young masters in the world have such a method.
"If that's true, who is the young master?" Liu Ji had no other choice but to put his hope in Zhang Hanlin.
"The young master is a master, but you are not a young master. I'm sorry Hanlin can't tell you."
The young master's identity is so special that he naturally cannot reveal it.
"But I can still talk about the young master's abilities to allay your worries."
At this moment, Zhang Hanlin changed his previous calmness and became excited.
"I'd also like to hear it." Liu Ji said politely. Although he said this, his interest was not very strong. So what can he do if he understands the young master's abilities? Can he really save himself and others?
The crime of rebellion was so great that no one could save him, even if he begged for mercy.
Of course, as the young master is also a rebel, he has no power to fight back at this moment, because the Qin army has defeated all the princes, destroyed all, captured all, and the army is stationed here, who can still have Such ability?
There is no such person in the world anymore.
Zhang Hanlin put on an impressive posture, raised his head slightly, and said with dignity: "The young master is a strong man. This is not what Hanlin said. In fact, everything the young master did was done by a man of God."
So, he told how the young master defeated the head of Guizhou and how he made thousands of troops disappear, so that no one could have any doubts.
A Niu was also beside him to help: "This is true, and A Niu believes that if we can fight from Mangtang Mountain to here and win many battles, it is very likely that the young master is involved."
Hearing Zhang Hanlin tell about the young master's magical powers, Liu Ji and others' eyes widened, and they all showed expressions of surprise and doubt. They seemed to be saying in their hearts: Is there really such a person in the world?
This can no longer be described in terms of humans, as Zhang Hanlin said, "God-man".
But when they heard A Niu's words, they all were speechless and asked hurriedly: "How can you say this?"
A Niu is a simple and honest man who is not good at lying. At this moment, he was very serious and responded with inexplicable admiration: "Don't you think it will be easy for us to win against the Qin army?"
Liu Ji nodded, it was indeed a bit. Except for Wuguan, all other sieges and fortresses were very smooth, as if the Qin army was made of paper.
"The reason why we were able to win was entirely because their general died suddenly and for no apparent reason, which affected the morale of the army. Don't you find it strange?"
Mentioning this, everyone thought deeply, and it seemed a little strange. Every time they attacked a city, a general of the Qin army would die suddenly, which was extremely bizarre. If this was a coincidence, it would be a bit unreasonable.
"Aniu suspects that the young master did it. It's not Aniu's nonsense. The young master has such ability. The young master defeated me inexplicably last time. It was exactly the same as the sudden death of the general of the Qin army."
"Is that true?" Liu Ji and others believed it, because A Niu never lied.
"Of course!" Zhang Hanlin responded, "You must have never heard of the legend of the young master. That is an existence that no one can fight against."
Although Zhang Hanlin was the head of Guizhou Province, he occasionally stepped into Xianyang and heard about the young master's miracles.
Everyone became interested and listened attentively.
"Do you know about the Battle of Xianyang?"
Everyone shook their heads. In fact, they were all from Peixian County and rarely knew what was going on in Xianyang.
Zhang Hanlin did not mean to be disdainful and said with a smile: "The Battle of Xianyang was about a bandit army attacking Xianyang. At that time, there were 100,000 bandits, but the Xianyang city defense army only numbered tens of thousands. There was a huge disparity in strength."
"What do you think the result will be?"
Zhang Hanlin deliberately kept silent.
Everyone shook their heads, and Liu Ji guessed: "The bandit army must have besieged Xianyang, and the imperial court is in danger."
"Exactly!" Zhang Hanlin nodded, his eyes became fiery, and continued, "Everyone thinks that Xianyang will be defeated and the Qin Dynasty will be destroyed, but everyone is wrong, how wrong it is."
"Oh!" Everyone became more interested and couldn't help but move towards Zhang Hanlin. Some people asked in confusion, "Did the Qin army win?"
"Exactly!" Zhang Hanlin clapped his thigh and jumped to his feet and said, "The Qin army won exactly. There was no suspense about the victory. They defeated a hundred thousand thieves, but the Qin army was unscathed."
What!
Everyone was shocked and deeply shocked.
Tens of thousands of people faced off against 100,000 people, and yet they managed to win without any damage, and even defeated an army of 100,000 thieves. It sounds like listening to a book from heaven, but looking at Zhang Hanlin's expression, it doesn't look like he is faking it.
"Could it be that the young master has taken action?"
"Exactly!" Zhang Hanlin recalled the rumors he heard at that time and was immediately in awe. "At that time, the young master was still in Chang'an Township. There happened to be 50,000 thieves who were coveting Chang'an Township and wanted to take it for themselves. Chang'an Township only had a few hundred guards. , to fight against an army of 50,000 thieves is to hit the stone with an egg. When everyone thought that the young master would give up Chang'an Township, the young master did not give up."
He swallowed and paused.
Everyone was listening in rapt attention when a sudden pause gave them an uncomfortable feeling, and they all asked in unison: "What's next?"
Zhang Hanlin suddenly changed the subject, his expression became arrogant, and said: "The young master actually led hundreds of guards to attack an army of 50,000 thieves."
"Wouldn't it be a disaster?"
