"I heard that Xiong An is General Zhaode, a famous general in Zhengzhou who was personally conferred by the late emperor..." Xu Meng said doubtfully, "However, this person's achievements in his life are very rare, and it seems that he has never had any good achievements."

Um!

Dongfang Yu nodded, not only that, but also for Xiong An, his reputation was pretty good, but he didn't have much courage. Unless he is in a hurry, can he capture Han County? Instead, a trace of amusement flashed across his face.

"It's worthy of the name, but it's just a false name!" Dongfang Yudan said.

Xu Meng was slightly stunned and said: "Han County is an important military location. Whether it is Zhengzhou or Dingzhou, they have fought for this city back and forth no less than ten times. Whether it is Zhengzhou Zhang Han or Dingzhou Liu Xin , all salivate over this place.”

"He must be unwilling to give it up to others."

Dongfang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Xu Meng, "It seems that the military advisor has a plan?"

Looking at Xu Meng's extremely confident look, one can clearly know that the latter is probably already sure of victory against Hanjun.

Um!

Xu Meng said: "We can use Han County as a bargaining chip to lure the two armies to send troops. Han County belongs to Zhengzhou, but it actually belongs to Dingzhou. If we attack Han County, it will inevitably arouse the hatred of the two states."

"Your Majesty...do you understand?"

The former is extremely mysterious, while the latter is instantly understood.

"We have been attacking Han County for a long time and used this as a bait to lure the two states to join forces. By then, the main forces of the two states will besiege our army, and our army will only have to wait for work and annihilate the main forces of the two states in one fell swoop."

"Next, our Qin army will be able to march straight in, unimpeded, and capture Dingzhou and Zhengzhou in one fell swoop."



"This is so wonderful! So wonderful!"

The two of them walked leisurely for a while, and then came up with a strategy to attack the two states.

At this time, in Han County, Xiong An was already panicked by the sudden arrival of the Qin army.

"How could the Qin army come so fast? Three days ago, Qin General Liu Wenqin led an army of 60,000 to attack Dingzhou. On the fourth day, the King of Qin actually led an army to attack Han County, dispatching ten troops at once. An army of tens of thousands is really unbelievable." I don't know whether Xiong An is afraid of Dongfang Yu or is crossing Dongfang Yu.

Anyway, both levels have this meaning.

after all! Dongfang Yu, who was able to defeat the Liao Kingdom and pacify the rebel army, fear has already penetrated into people's bones. Even if he is afraid, it is of no use.

"General... General, the King of Qin's army is approaching. The vanguard army led by Bai Qi alone has 20,000 people. You can imagine! How many troops and horses should the rear army led by King Qin have? With such a Qin army, General, we should wait How is it?" When the deputy general heard about the Qin army, his momentum seemed to have weakened by half, and even his voice was a little shaky and weak.

snort!

Xiong An snorted coldly, and a cold air came out of his body. He glared at the deputy general coldly, "You spineless thing, so what if the King of Qin has an army of 100,000? Our Hanjun city has high walls and thick walls, and we have three soldiers." Thousands, plus the soldiers and horses I have secretly recruited over the past year, the total army is fifty thousand."

"Everyone in the world says that King Qin is brave and resourceful, but I, Xiong An, don't believe it. I insist on meeting him for a while."

actually! The reason why Xiong An was unwilling to surrender. It was still related to the time when I accidentally offended Dongfang Yu a few years ago.

At that time, Dongfang had only tens of thousands of soldiers and dozens of generals. Because he stayed in Beiliang, he offended the five major forces, so! In accordance with the imperial decree, he and Song Yi were asked to lead an army to attack the five major forces as foreign aid.

But he was obsessed with money and took the prince's money to offend the future King of Qin who would rise in the world. However, who could have known that the Sixth Prince, who was ridiculed as a fool at the beginning, would actually become a person who would make all the princes in the world fear him.

"General, that's the Qin Army. It can conquer every attack and win every battle. Is it too hasty to do this? Moreover, there is a saying among the Qin Army that anyone who orders them to surrender but fails to do so will be killed!"

"If the King of Qin accepts a surrender order from our army, and if he does not surrender, I am afraid that the King of Qin will massacre the city because of this."

"The general is beating a drum in his heart." The lieutenant general was really scared, because the Qin army is a tiger and wolf army. Whether he surrenders or not, whether he can win or not is another matter.

"waste……"

"Go and close the four doors tightly. From today on, people are not allowed in or out. Anyone who violates the prohibition will be killed immediately." Xiong An is determined to fight Dongfang Yu.

"Promise! I will obey your orders!"

The deputy general picked up the sword on his waist and hurried out the door.

Just when the whole city of Han County was in panic, Bai Qi's vanguard army was already stationed five miles away from Han County.

"General, the enemy has closed the city gate tightly. It seems that they have no intention of opening the city and surrendering." Zhang Han, Bai Qi and a dozen personal guards were less than two miles away from Han County. He held a telescope in his hand and explored the city.

I saw the Zhengzhou army drawing their bows and arrows, simmering oil on the fire. This series of preparations are all in response to the Qin army's attack.

Bai Qi smiled lightly and said: "No matter how prepared a bunch of clowns are, they can't stop the iron hoof of Da Qin."

really! The Qin army is unparalleled in the world, especially the Qin cavalry and crossbows, which are definitely ranked first in the world.

"General, would you like to send someone to warn me?" Zhang Han asked.

"No need!" Bai Qi shook his head, "Report the situation here to the king and then make a decision."

The battle at Beiliang was the battle that made King Qin famous. Everyone in the world knows how many people and soldiers the imperial court has transferred. And this Xiong An is one of the generals. The army is stationed at the border of Beiliang, sitting and watching Beiliang's tricks. Everyone in the world knows this.

Therefore! Bai Qicai didn't want to attack.

"General, I understand." Zhang Han clasped his fists.

"Go back!" Bai Qitan said, turning the horse's head, and then! Then he returned to the military camp.

soon! Bai Qi's vanguard army sent people to send back the news, saying that the four gates of Han County were tightly closed and they could not get out, vowing to fight to the death with the Qin army.

After receiving this news, Dongfang Yu was dumbfounded. I don't know where Xiong An came from to have the confidence to dare to fight the Qin army.

"Forget it! In that case, let's go as planned." Dongfang Yu secretly said.

"Come here, order Bai Qi to besiege but not attack, and besiege Han County more loosely. All the scouts coming out of Han County only need to chase symbolically, and are not allowed to make any fatal blows." Dongfang Yu ordered.

"promise!"

The messenger received the order and immediately went down to deliver it.

Dongfang Yu's approach was very simple, which was to ask Xiong An to report the news to Zhang Han and order him to send troops for reinforcements.

"Your Majesty, I have a plan to minimize our army's losses." Xu Meng came over with a sinister smile, the expression on his face was full of treachery.

oh!

Dongfang Yu was slightly surprised and looked at Xu Meng. Did this old guy have deceptive ink in his belly again?

"What's the plan? It doesn't matter what the military advisor says!"

"Your Majesty, please write a surrender letter!" Xu Meng said softly and cunningly.
