Bai Zhanpeng was imprisoned, which caused political turmoil in the Yan Dynasty.
The last retainer of the Bai family desperately sent the news out at the last moment when his house was ransacked.
"Tongguan, the defense is weak, we can fight!"
This is also the last struggle of the Bai family.
Tongguan has always been the sphere of influence of the Bai family. It is located on the border of the Yan Kingdom and has an important strategic location.
The Bai family has been operating here for many years and has deep-rooted influence.
Even after Bai Zhanpeng was imprisoned, the forces entrenched here still existed.
Now that he has become the target of public criticism in Dayan, it is better to show all his last cards and fully cooperate with Chu State's attack.
Maybe there is still a glimmer of hope!
However, in a place unknown to the Bai family.
Mo Yi stared at all the movements of this retainer and smiled slightly.
Mr. Su really has a clever plan!
He had already expected that the Bai family would not give up just now.
Sure enough, after waiting for a while, the Bai family's information was intercepted.
Su Ye listened to Mo Yi's report with a sneer on his face.
The Bai family is already at the end of its rope.
If Chu State captures Tongguan, it will undoubtedly be a serious threat to Dayan.
"It's better to use the strategy and ask you to enter the urn." A cold light flashed in Su Ye's eyes.
"Let this secret report go where it belongs."
He turned to Mo Yi beside him and said in a deep voice:
"Send the order and ask the generals at Tongguan to stand ready and be sure to hold on to Tongguan."
"Secretly notify Linyang Pass and let Gu Lingyun be prepared to immediately cut off Chu's retreat if Tong Pass is lost."
Mo Yi took the order and left.
Su Ye's eyes were fixed on Tongguan on the map, and he was thinking a lot.
Soon, the Bai family's secret report was successfully submitted to Chu State.
Chu Muxue was furious when she learned that the Bai family had been raided by the whole family.
For the internal support of the Bai family, the Chu State secretly made a lot of efforts.
Including allowing the Bai family's business route to pass through Chu State in the most convenient way.
However, decades of hard work were ruined this time.
Empress Dayan and Su Ye are simply the biggest stumbling blocks on Chu Muxue's way forward!
She immediately summoned the senior generals and counselors of Chu State to discuss how to deal with this unexpected incident.
"This time the Bai family was raided, it was obviously premeditated by Yan State."
"We cannot let them succeed and must find a way to fight back."
Chu Muxue's eyes were as bright as a torch and her tone was firm.
"Your Majesty, our country's current military strength is still weak, and a head-on conflict may not be a wise move."
"Why don't we use a surprise force to recapture Tongguan outwitly."
A counselor suggested.
"Yes, there must be a reason for the information that was released before the Bai family was ransacked."
"This Tongguan Pass is not far from Linyang Pass. The Yan State will never anticipate our surprise attack in advance."
All the ministers of the Chu State believed that attacking Tongguan was the best choice at the moment.
A military commander reported:
"We have investigated the battle of Linyang Pass. Tong Pass is the Bai family's sphere of influence. The guards are weak and can be coordinated from the inside out."
Chu Muxue nodded: "This plan is feasible. This time we will find the weakness of Dayan Kingdom and defeat it in one fell swoop!"
Tongguan became the key to this struggle.
It is located at the junction of the Yan State and the Chu State. The terrain is dangerous and easy to defend but difficult to attack.
It echoes Linyang Pass and stands together on the border of Dayan.
Night falls.
The Chu army began to gather secretly.
Under the cover of night, we quietly approached Tongguan.
In order to attack quietly, the Chu army did not dare to hold torches.
Under the faint moonlight, move forward slowly.
At the top of Tongguan City, the remnants of the Bai family looked nervously into the distance, their hearts beating like drums.
They knew that joining the Chu army was their last hope and the only chance for revenge for their family.
At the same time, Su Ye also paid close attention to the movements in Tongguan.
He had already arranged everything, just waiting for the Chu army to step into the trap.
He had already anticipated Chu's attack, so he was fully prepared in advance.
As the night wore on, everything seemed to be going well.
The Chu army stopped a few miles away from Tongguan City.
They quietly lay in wait for the opportunity to attack.
However, what they didn't realize was.
Dayan has secretly mobilized Dayan's elite and is waiting for the Chu army to attack.
At Tongguan City Tower, the bell rang at midnight, which was particularly clear in the night.
The Chu army began to take action. They quietly approached Tongguan City and prepared to launch an attack.
However, just as they were about to approach the city.
Suddenly, the flanks of Tongguan City Wall lit up with dazzling light.
In an instant, the Chu army fell into chaos.
The lights are bright, the arrows are like a forest, and the momentum is like a rainbow.
Sharp arrows pierced the night sky and landed accurately among the Chu troops.
Screams broke out everywhere, the Chu army fell into chaos, and the attack plan was instantly disrupted.
At the same time, the remnants of the Bai family in Tongguan City were also alarmed.
They stared at the sudden appearance of Dayan's army with wide eyes and were horrified.
"rush!"
The sound of war drums shook the heaven and the earth, and Dayan's army surged out like a tide and rushed towards the Chu army.
Faced with the sudden attack, the Chu army's position was suddenly in chaos.
Casualties were heavy, morale was low, and the army was quickly defeated.
Dayan's army did not relax at all, and kept advancing in pursuit of the victory.
Their footsteps did not stop, and their eyes flashed with determination.
The sword in his hand was swung, and every movement of swinging the sword was filled with desire and persistence for victory.
Drawing a beautiful arc in the air, it rushed straight towards the Chu army.
The morale of Dayan's army was even higher, and they charged forward with overwhelming momentum.
The Chu army was frightened and fled in all directions, in chaos.
The Yan army took advantage of the victory and pursued it, but the Chu army was driven near the border of Zhao like a bereaved dog.
There has always been an alliance between Chu and Zhao, and Dayan will not invade Zhao rashly.
In this battle, the Dayan army made full use of Tongguan's terrain advantages and resource advantages.
He cleverly laid a dragnet to catch the Chu army by surprise.
He forced the Chu army back dozens of miles and successfully defended Tongguan.
The remnants of the Bai family were also captured under the attack of Dayan's army.
"This is impossible!"
Chu Muxue looked at the guards kneeling in front of her to report the battle situation, her eyes full of shock, anger and unwillingness.
She couldn't believe that the carefully planned surprise attack could fall apart overnight.
Please enter the urn, this battle of Tongguan must be Su Ye's handiwork!
Chu Muxue gritted her teeth, her heart filled with anger and helplessness.
"Our army has now retreated to the border of Zhao State."
The guard who reported the battle situation continued to report cautiously.
Chu Muxue clenched her fists and looked firmly:
"This failure is just a temporary setback. I, Da Chu, will never give up so easily!"
She paused and continued:
"It's better to join forces with the Zhao State and repel the Yan State together!"
