The four kings did not expect Xiao Yuan to dare to fight, and neither did the other countries.
You know, the Great War in the Central Plains has just ended. I don’t know how many small vassal states have been annexed and eliminated, and finally formed the eight great powers. At this time, another Qin suddenly appeared, and the four countries wanted to attack Qin again. It is conceivable that all the countries are not immune. concerned.
This battle can be said to have attracted the attention of the whole world.
Liang country.
After listening to the minister's report, King Liang couldn't help but smile on his face and said: "Okay, okay, Lord Qin fought well. If we don't fight, how will our country, Liang, stand a chance."
Hearing this, Cai Yan was shocked and asked quickly: "Your Majesty, do you want to use troops?"
"No, it's too early to talk about using troops now." King Liang waved his hand and said: "The four countries will allied to attack Qin. We can indeed take the opportunity to attack Jin and seize some cities. But if Qin is quickly wiped out, wouldn't it be possible to force Jin? Are you going to turn around and attack me?”
"Therefore, only when Qin withstands it, only when their war becomes stalemate, and the large numbers of troops from the four countries are restrained by the Lord of Qin, can we really start to take action."
The words of King Liang were in line with the considerations of a king. When Cai Yan heard the words, he couldn't help but salute and said: "My king Yingming——"
The attitude on the Liang Kingdom's side is not much different on the Ling Kingdom's side.
Among the kings of the countries, no one would offend the four countries in order to save Qin, and all they considered were their own interests.
Let’s talk about the Four-Nation Alliance.
After meeting in Baize and deciding on the war, the four kings returned to their capitals, leaving behind their respective commanders and troops.
King Wu's side marched from Ningyang and had already taken the lead. The Huan, Chu and Jin Dynasties had an army of 300,000. The Jin general Ren Ying was the commander-in-chief of the coalition. Huan General Xiang Ge and Chu General Hanzhou As deputy commander.
More than half a month later, the coalition forces approached Shanyuguan and set up camp fifty miles outside the pass.
In the large tent of the Chinese army, the generals of the three countries were discussing the war.
Ren Ying is about thirty years old, with a short beard and thick eyebrows. He is wearing the armor of the Jin army commander and a cape behind him. He said in front of the military map:
"Shanyu Pass is the only pass into Qin. As long as this place is broken, the entire territory of Qin will be in danger. Therefore, I plan to advance the army two days later, approach the city, and then conduct a tentative attack on the Qin army at Shanyu Pass."
What he said was the most basic battle plan. When the generals in the tent heard what he said, they naturally had nothing to object to. However, no one had a voice to say who would fight in the first place.
This is not to say that everyone is afraid of the Qin Army. On the contrary, almost all the generals in the tent look down upon the Qin Army. The reason for this is because they all have their own little thoughts.
Because it is not one country, but an alliance of three countries. I will fight, but will you watch the show from behind?
The commanders-in-chief of each of the three countries will think about this issue. This is undoubtedly and inevitable.
Seeing that neither Xiang Ge nor Han Zhou expressed their opinions, and there was some silence in the tent, Ren Ying couldn't help but cough slightly, then glanced at the two of them, and said: "Since everyone has no opinions, well, I will serve as the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces. In the name of the emperor, I issued a military order, ordering Huan Jun to attack Shanyuguan in two days!"
"This!" Hearing this, Xiang Ge became a little anxious. Why should Huan Jun take the lead?
He wanted to say something to argue, but Ren Ying looked at him and said, "What? Does General Xiang have any questions? Don't forget, this is my commander's military order."
What he said was nothing more than telling Xiang Ge that I am the commander-in-chief of the entire army, and you have to listen even if you don't want to.
Hearing this, the latter had no choice but to hold his fists in frustration: "I understand."
"Okay, let's do this for now. After the battle, we can make plans again." Ren Ying waved his hand directly.
Everyone clasped their fists and saluted one after another, and then exited the camp.
To say that Ren Ying is actually not a mediocre person, he can be a general of the Jin Kingdom, and he can also be appointed as the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces during the alliance of the Four Nations. It is also conceivable that he has the ability to command troops.
Xiang Ge and Han Zhou are also famous generals in their respective countries.
The key question is not here either.
If any one of these three people came out to command a battle or command an army alone, it would be a very terrifying existence. But now that they are united together, they are not that strong.
After exiting the camp, Xiang Ge returned to the Huan Army camp, and his deputy general couldn't help but come up and express his dissatisfaction: "Xiang Shuai, that Ren Ying relied on himself as the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces to command our army everywhere, instead of letting us do it. This is what we are asked to do. This time we attack Qin, we are even asked to fight the Qin army, but they sit back and watch the show. Why?"
Although Xiang Ge was a little dissatisfied, he still glared at the deputy general: "What nonsense! The overall situation is more important!"
After all, he is a general of a country. When the deputy general heard this, he couldn't help but shrink his neck: "Yes, Xiang Shuai taught him a lesson."
Two days later, Huan Jun took the lead in approaching Shanyuguan. Before reaching the pass, the news had reached Xiao Yuan.
At this time, all the generals of the Qin army were present in Shanyu Pass. After listening to Lin Chu's report, Xiao Yuan waved his hand: "Explore further and report again."
"No!" Lin Chu saluted and left.
Immediately afterwards, Shangguan Wenruo stood up, raised his hands and said: "My lord, Xiang Ge is quite talented in military affairs and has fought many famous battles, but in this battle, he is of no use in front of Shanyu Pass. In the land of martial arts, and the coalition commander Ren Ying uses the Huan Army to take the lead, dissatisfaction will inevitably arise within the Huan Army. Therefore, our army must severely defeat the Huan Army in the first battle to allow the dissatisfaction to continue to spread."
"Well..." Xiao Yuan pondered for a moment, and then said: "Then take advantage of their contempt for our army, switch to face the enemy, fight the Huan army on the plain, and defeat them in one fell swoop!"
Under his military orders, the Qin army faced the Three Kingdoms' division of 300,000 troops. Instead of being afraid, they opened and closed to delay the enemy. In the afternoon of that day, they opened their formations on the vast plains outside the pass and started a battle with the Huan army. Face to face confrontation.
The two armies faced each other, with a total of 200,000 troops on both sides. For a time, the flags blocked the sun, and a murderous atmosphere filled the entire place.
Perhaps he did not expect that the Qin Army would dare to take the initiative to attack the enemy. Xiang Ge was quite surprised. Looking at the formation on the opposite side, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? This is the Qin Army? They look good. According to rumors, they are not Wearing cloth and holding a farming tool?"
"Xiang Shuai!" General Youbiao was riding on one side and started to clasp his fists and said: "The last general is asking for orders to go to battle!"
"Well..." Xiang Ge nodded. Although the Qin army looked very strong, in his opinion, he didn't take it too seriously. Instead, he said to the general: "Forget it, let General He Yong go into battle and behead him." Enemy general, first strengthen our army's prestige."
"Got the order!" General He Yong immediately shouted and then rode out.
Horse hooves trampled the ground. In front of the two armies, He Yong tightened the reins, raised his sword and shouted:
"Qin Jun across the way, listen! I am Xiang Shuai's subordinate He Yong! Who dares to fight with me!"
