After the coalition forces entered Shanyuguan, there was of course more than one way.
Go straight to the left and you will find Qinzhou more than five hundred miles away.
If you go diagonally down to the left, you can reach Tongguan and enter Sichuan from Tongguan.
There was nothing wrong with Huangfu Ye's strategic plan, but he could think of how could the Qin State be unprepared for this strange army.
You must know that this is a critical battle for the Qin Kingdom. Since Xiao Yuan dares to abandon Shanyuguan, it means that he has already calculated everything.
This is absolute.
Prince Qin's Mansion.
Needless to say, the strength of the Qin army's military intelligence was that after He Zhen died in battle, the news reached Xiao Yuan immediately.
Xiao Yuan certainly felt sad for this loyal and stubborn general.
"Congratulations, you are really loyal and brave. You shouldn't have to fight hard. I am deeply saddened to lose a good general..."
He closed his eyes deeply.
Lin Chu stood below and said respectfully: "General He could have retreated, but..."
"I understand." Xiao Yuan interrupted him. Now is not the time to feel sad about spring and autumn.
Taking a deep breath, he looked at Lin Chu again and said: "Send an order to Sun Qi and order his troops to retreat to Pingsha and never fall into a siege. At the same time, if the coalition forces attack Tongguan, there is no need to intercept them and let them pass."
Hearing this, Lin Chu was shocked: "But Your Majesty, if the coalition forces really send out a surprise force to attack Tongguan, Sichuan and Shu will be in danger."
"They will definitely send out this surprise force!" Xiao Yuan said instead.
"Then, the king is still..." Lin Chu was dumbfounded.
Xiao Yuan said seriously: "We have to believe in Wei Qing."
Wei Qing's first division, with an army of 100,000, is in Ningyang.
However, under Xiao Yuan's military order, 60,000 elite troops had been secretly mobilized and rushed to Tongguan. It was okay that Huangfu Ye could not send out this extraordinary army. Once the troops came to Tongguan, they would definitely be attacked by Wei Qing.
After explaining this, Xiao Yuan said again: "Instruct all the troops to stock up on food, grass and weapons. In the winter war, this will be the key to victory or defeat!"
"No!" Lin Chu took the order and left.
All military operations by both sides are proceeding as scheduled.
After the coalition forces rested and recuperated, their main force immediately headed to Pingsha, intending to strategically encircle the city.
However, Sun Qi had already received Wang's order. After blocking the coalition forces halfway, he was also making the final evacuation.
At this time, the army had already gathered and the food, grass and baggage had been sent to the rear. However, before retreating, the generals all found Sun Qi and expressed their dissatisfaction.
"The former Su Yi troops retreated to Shanyu Pass? Withdrew to Wuling? So that the coalition forces entered Qin? Our troops are in Pingsha, and we should have stopped them here? How can we allow the coalition forces to go further!"
"That's right! Retreat again and again! Our Qin army has never fought such a useless battle!"
"Abandoning Pingsha? There is no reason! I am really puzzled!"
The generals were all talking. Sun Qi looked around and took out Xiao Yuan's order. He said in a calm voice: "Sun Qi entered Qin not long ago, and he understood in his heart that there are many dissatisfaction among the generals, but this is the order of the king."
As he spoke, he also handed Wang Ling to the nearest Guan Kui.
When all the generals saw this, they stepped forward one after another. After gathering together, they all looked at each other.
Xiao Yuan's royal order cannot be doubted, and among the generals of the Qin army, no one dares to disobey his order, no matter how serious your doubts are!
In this way, although the generals in Pingsha were unwilling and unwilling, they had to retreat under the king's order. This retreat lasted more than a hundred miles, and they retreated directly to Suicheng.
Not long after, the main force of the coalition successfully entered Pingsha County without any bloodshed.
In the county government, Han Zhou couldn't help laughing and said: "It seems that Sun Qi is self-aware. He must have known that our army was preparing to besiege the city, so he had no choice but to retreat."
"Now, after breaking through the mountains and valleys and conquering the flat sands, our allies' victory is getting bigger and bigger..."
Entering Pingsha here, at the same time, Huangfu Ye also led 150,000 Wu troops to avoid the main battlefield and prepare to sneak attack Tongguan.
Just looking at the deserted city, Huang Zu frowned secretly.
He always had a bad feeling in his heart.
Although the Qin army's retreat step by step seemed reasonable and the King of Qin was retreating to Sichuan and Shu, he always felt a little strange.
But he couldn't grasp this strangeness, and he couldn't describe it.
After resting in Pingsha, Hanzhou once again suggested continuing to march towards Sun Qi's tribe, giving priority to eradicating this Qin army, and then implementing a tactical double-team on Qinzhou.
Although Huang Zu felt that Han Zhou was right, he was still worried. He frowned slightly and said, "Brother Han, this advance is too fast. Based on my many years of battlefield experience, there are many strange things in it."
He expressed his concerns, but he couldn't explain them clearly.
How could Hanzhou be satisfied with such an opportunity to destroy Qin? He couldn't help but said: "Shuai Huang, we can't let the allies stagnate because of your hesitation, right? You know, now General Huangfu has rushed towards Tongguan all night long. If we don’t march here, wouldn’t it give King Qin a chance to breathe?”
"This..." Huang Zu couldn't stand it anymore.
Because from the current point of view, there is indeed no problem. If the Shanyu Pass is broken, the coalition forces will only continue to enter Qin, and Qin will have no strategy at all.
After thinking about this, Huang Zu temporarily gave up his doubts and agreed to Hanzhou's proposal.
Subsequently, the coalition forces continued to use troops against Qin.
Just when the main force of his army was more than two hundred miles deep into the Qin State, Xuan's army finally moved, gathering an army of 200,000, and marched directly towards Shanyuguan at a rapid march.
There is no doubt that Xuan Guo's action was taken by other countries to take advantage of the opportunity.
Previously, King Xuan promised to form an alliance to unite to weaken Qin and destroy Qin, but he hesitated to send troops. Now that the mountain valley pass has been broken, Qin can no longer withstand it, so there is no reason not to divide the territory.
When the news spread, King Ling in Ling Kingdom was immediately laughed out of anger. He couldn't help but said: "This Queen Xuan really knows how to find opportunities. She doesn't want to contribute to the battle to destroy Qin, but she still wants to gain benefits. It's simply ridiculous. pole."
But after all, he was still happy to see Xuan's army participating in the war. After all, with the addition of a country's military strength, Qin could be destroyed more quickly.
The two kings of Wu and Chu also had the same idea.
Including Minister Xuanguo and Xuanjun himself.
The border of Xuan Kingdom was not far from Shanyuguan. King Xuan had already mobilized troops on the northern front. The 200,000-strong army quickly arrived at Shanyuguan.
At this time, of course, Huang Zu's remaining general, Nailing General Bai Qin, commanded 30,000 troops, was here to ensure the delivery of supplies to the rear.
Upon learning of the arrival of Xuan's army, Bai Qin naturally regarded it as allied reinforcements, because all the countries had already been united before.
He quickly asked someone to turn it on and off, and even personally welcomed Yan Qi into the pass.
"General Yanqi, I haven't seen you for a long time, but you still look like you."
"No, General Bai is too polite."
"please."
"please."
When the two sides met, they first exchanged greetings and then entered the meeting hall. The two hundred thousand soldiers of the Xuan Army also began to enter the customs.
However, as soon as the generals arrived in the hall and before they could take their seats, a Xuan Army soldier hurried over, knelt down on one knee, raised his hands high and said, "Commander Yan, I have the king's order."
"Oh?" Yan Qi raised an eyebrow and quickly took it.
Yan Qi opened the sealing wax of the bamboo tube and took out the secret letter inside. Yan Qi raised his eyes and read it.
"General Yanqi personally initiated the secret execution of the remaining troops of Lingguo, blocked the news, occupied Shanyu Pass, refused to give in, and blocked all military operations of the coalition forces..."
