Now Queen Xuan's message to Lingguo is very clear: she can participate in the destruction of Qin, but she must ensure Xuanling's alliance after the war.
If this is the case, in the end, the pattern of the world will be further clear. After Qin is destroyed, Huan will definitely be the first to be annexed, and then Xuan Ling will fight Wu Chu, two against two.
At least, in the Spirit King's view, things are now developing in this favorable direction.
He was very happy and immediately wrote a letter to Fan Xin, telling the latter clearly that he could represent Lingguo and agree to King Xuan's post-war alliance.
The exchange of letters takes time, and the diplomatic discussions between the two countries also take time.
During this period, because Shanyu Pass could not be captured for a long time and the coalition forces suffered heavy losses, the two kings of Wu and Chu also complained more or less, but in the end, King Ling successfully consolidated the alliance.
The war continues, and diplomatic relations, craft activities, etc. are also extremely frequent.
This time and again, the autumn harvest has arrived.
For the entire Central Plains, there was a slight drought this year, and the harvest was not very good.
The Qin State was no exception, but fortunately Zhang Jingrui once built the Sichuan River Weir and irrigated a lot of farmland, which further illustrates the importance of water conservancy projects at that time.
Farmers everywhere are busy with the autumn harvest, and the war seems to have been temporarily put on hold. In other words, the armies of both sides need a relative rest.
But just after the agricultural issues were completed and the farmland was harvested, Qin Wang Xiao Yuan made a strange move.
With the order of the King of Qin, millions of people from Shanyu Pass to Qinzhou were moved to Tongguan and entered Shu.
To put it simply, all the cities after Shanyuguan are evacuated.
This action is so unexpected!
Many people in various places are puzzled. Now Shanyu Pass is impregnable? It is not that easy for the coalition forces to break in, and the people are not willing to drag their families and give up their place of residence, even though it will be safer to enter Shu.
But this royal order cannot be doubted!
Under the official orders of various local governments, countless people carried luggage, pushed wooden carts, and carried burdens. They began to drag their families with them, forming a mighty team, and walked leisurely towards Tongguan.
At the end, in order to clear out all the cities, Xiao Yuan sent a military order to Sun Qi, ordering him to lead an army of 100,000 people to assist local officials and implement immigration policies, and to take forceful measures when necessary.
This time? The people can't do anything if they don't leave.
In just over a month, all the cities between Shanyuguan and Qinzhou were empty, and all the food and supplies had been emptied out long ago.
Prince Qin's Mansion, in the study.
Xiao Yuan was asking about the relocation: "Are all the residents with the original household registration registered?"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the houses, addresses, and household registrations of the relocated people have been recorded by the officials in various places." Shangguan Wenruo returned.
Liu Yuzhi's face was full of worry: "Your Majesty, do you really want to do this? Is it too risky? Once the coalition forces enter the pass, with the strength of our Qin State? If one of them is not good and fails to hold them down, it will be full. Everyone loses!"
The pressure in Xiao Yuan's heart was greater than him! If we lose this battle, our country will be destroyed!
He fell silent.
After a moment, he said: "The king's order has been issued. The strategy of guarding in spring and fighting in winter is worth the risk."
This spring defense and winter battle was originally proposed by Shangguan Wenruo. To put it simply, it means to defend Shanyu Pass until winter and then engage in the final decisive battle with the coalition forces.
The latter also immediately said: "There is no doubt about the determination of the coalition forces to attack Qin. If we continue to fight like this in front of the pass, the coalition forces will have endless strength and food and grass, which can be transported continuously. Until the end of the battle, our troops will be overwhelmed. Beat it clean.”
"Only by letting the coalition forces enter the Pass and conducting a series of annihilation battles within Qin based on the terrain advantages and weather conditions can we defeat other countries. Otherwise, our national power cannot afford to be exhausted."
"The most important thing about winter warfare is that the northwest is bitterly cold and has four distinct seasons. Our Qin army officers and soldiers are accustomed to heavy snowfall in winter and thousands of miles of frozen land. Wu and Chu are both southern armies, and they fight on the river. , unmatched, but once you enter the hinterland of Qin, the situation is conceivable if the weather is freezing."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jia You followed up: "Although this is dangerous, the war is at this point and must be decided. More importantly, General Su Yi is best at annihilation in the mountains, outflanking, and blindly defending the battle. In fact, Not the director.”
If a famous general leads an elite army of 200,000 people with sufficient food, grass and weapons, and travels back and forth in familiar places, it will be very scary if you think about it.
After hearing this, Liu Yuzhi couldn't help but ask: "Now that the king has made a decision on such a major military and state matter, I dare to ask, do you have confidence?"
"Yes!" Xiao Yuan looked at him and said decisively: "Because, I have a big back-up plan!"
Hearing this, the three people in the study looked at each other subconsciously.
The Qin State was moving its people quickly, and the news soon reached the ears of the kings.
There is no doubt that in the eyes of the world, this is a signal sent by King Qin.
The Qin State was about to be unable to withstand the situation and was preparing a signal to retreat to Shu.
Otherwise, why would Qin move its people to Tongguan?
This shows that King Qin no longer has the confidence to defend Shanyu Pass!
The news spread and the world was in uproar.
The Yuhua Building in Xuandu is even more lively.
With such a huge bet, everyone almost beat all other countries to win. Every day, countless guests would come to learn about the latest battle situation.
A steward said loudly: "Everyone, everyone! The latest news is that the King of Qin has issued a royal order to relocate all the residents in the pass and prepare to retreat to Tongguan!"
"At this point in the war, although Qin's walls are strong and cannot enter, the allies are powerful after all, and the Qin army at Shanyuguan is probably unable to withstand it..."
King Xuan was dressed in brocade clothes, with beautiful eyes, fair skin, and red lips. He was sitting in a secret corner, drinking tea calmly.
She was a little curious about the owner of the restaurant. The source of information was very fast, the information was reliable, and he had a lot of energy.
Spiritual country.
King Ling was even more excited when he heard the news, and even his tone changed: "What does King Qin's behavior mean? It means that he has no choice! He is already thinking about his own way out!"
"Now that the Qin State is defeated, the King of Qin can only retreat to Shu! Let Sichuan and Shu defend it!"
"It is conceivable that the Qin court must be in chaos now! The day when the Allied forces break through Shanyu Pass is not far away!"
"Immediately send an order to Huang Zu! Let him work harder and attack with all his strength!"
King Ling is like this, not to mention the two kings of Wu and Chu. Their confidence was still slightly shaken at first, but after hearing this news, they immediately made a 180-degree turn, and their determination to destroy Qin skyrocketed. .
The Qin army on the front line is still fighting bloody battles to defend.
But at this moment, King Qin Xiao Yuan sent a strange supreme military order.
