Daqin Ghost Valley, makes you vertical and horizontal but not unified

Now that the army is destroyed, the most direct consequence is that almost every house in the city is mourning.

For a time, mourning was everywhere, and the sound of wailing was endless.

The morale of the people was extremely low.

And above the court is no exception.

Inside Zhangtai Palace, the atmosphere was extremely dignified.

On the throne, Qin Wangzheng didn't say a word, his eyes swept over all the officials one by one.

After a long time, a majestic voice sounded from the throne.

"The Han State will send troops soon, don't you have a good strategy to resist the enemy?"

However, when the voice fell, no one spoke.

Everyone tried their best to shrink their bodies and lower their heads, for fear of being called.

Now there are only 3 troops in charge of guarding the front line of the Qinling Mountains, and they can barely resist the offensive from Nanzheng.

Not to mention that the Han army can also go down the Han River, and it only takes three or four days to reach the city of Xianyang.

And all the warships of Daqin had already been put into the battle to attack Chengdu before, and there was not a single one left.

With the destruction of the army, all the warships have now fallen into the hands of the Han army, and they are simply unable to resist the offensive from the Han River.

In such a bad situation, even if Sun Wu and Wu Qi were born again, there would be nothing wrong.

Seeing that none of the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty spoke, Qin Wangzheng's face gradually darkened.

His eyes finally fell on Gan Luo, the head of civil servants.

"Is there any countermeasure for the right minister?"

Gan Luo seemed to have expected to be called, so he had no choice but to come out and say,

"My Majesty, the only way now is to let Wang Jian quickly retreat to Hangu Pass and hold on.

"At the same time, some troops will be dispatched back to defend Xianyang.

"It's late autumn now. If I can hold off the Han army for two months, the Han army will retreat when the cold winter comes."

Gan Luo didn't say what to do if the Han army came again next spring, because if they couldn't withstand this wave of enemy offensives, there would be no future.

After Qin Wangzheng thought for a while, he nodded helplessly.

"Prelude!"

There was a touch of helplessness and exhaustion in the voice, and it no longer had the majesty before.

……

Under Luguan, on the battlefield where the Qin and Han armies confront each other, stumps and broken arms can be seen everywhere, and the cruelty of the war is far beyond imagination.

On the high platform of the Chinese army, even Wang Ben, who has always been brave, showed signs of fatigue.

This is a battle that cannot afford to lose. Once defeated, the Han people can send troops to take Hangu Pass directly.

And once the most important gate of Hangu Pass is lost, the entire Guanzhong Plain will be completely exposed to the eyes of the Han army.

However, in such an important national war, the situation is becoming more and more unfavorable to one's own side.

These days, the returning artillery, archery towers, and eight-ox crossbows of the Han army fired frequently, and the soldiers in front did not dare to raise their heads and hid in the trenches all day long.

If this continues, the morale of the army will collapse.

Fortunately, in recent days, the Han army's offensive has slowed down, allowing them to breathe a sigh of relief.

Thinking of this, Wang Ben subconsciously looked at his father Wang Jian who was at the side.

It was found that the other party's eyes no longer had the original majesty, replaced by full of worry.

Wang Ben's heart moved slightly, and he said in a deep voice,

"General, the Han army's offensive has slowed down in the past few days, maybe their crossbow ammunition is not enough."

There are no father and son in the army, only superior-subordinate relations.

However, to Wang Ben's surprise, his father Wang Jian did not speak, but just took out a secret letter from his arms and handed it to him.

Wang Ben took it and looked at it for a few times, then he was stunned, and said in surprise,

"The army stationed in Xinzheng was wiped out by the Han people!"

No wonder Wang Ben was surprised, there was a whole 30 troops stationed in Xinzheng.

Although most of them were descendants of the Three Jin Dynasty, there were also [-] elite under Wang Lu's men, and there was also General Meng Tian as his deputy.

In contrast, the Han army only sent [-] soldiers to the east, and the strength of the two sides was very different.

Ten out of ten will lose even one. Are Wang Yan and Meng Tian pigs?

Compared with Wang Ben's shock and anger, Wang Jian's performance was much calmer.

He looked at the garrison of the Han army with deep eyes, and said unhurriedly,

"Not surprisingly, the Han army intends to let us relax our vigilance, so that we can wait for the reinforcements from Xinzheng to attack our army from both sides!

"This set of tactics seems familiar, and it looks like the method of an old friend."

While speaking, Wang Jian recalled a figure in his mind.

During the battle between Qin and Zhao, this person had used the strategy of luring the enemy to go deep and defeated the Qin general Wang Ling.

Later, he took office by himself, relying on the advantage of military strength to deal with the opponent many times but failed to win.

In the end, it was necessary to transfer this person away from the front line by means of alienation, and the army was able to destroy Zhao smoothly.

It was only later that I heard that this person had been executed by the Zhao royal family, so how could he appear here again?

Just as Wang Jian was thinking, Wang Ben's voice came from beside his ear.

"General, since Xinzheng can't count on it, what are we waiting for?

"Quickly withdraw troops!"

Wang Ben was in a hurry.

Xinzheng is only a few days away from Luguan. If the Han army is reorganized and goes northward, they will really be attacked by two sides.

"Stupid, do you think you can withdraw if you want?"

Wang Jian withdrew his gaze, glanced at Wang Ben, and reprimanded,

"Believe it or not, once my army retreats, the enemy on the opposite side will immediately rush over and bite!"

"This……"

Wang Ben has been through the battlefield for a long time, so of course he knows how to take advantage of the victory to pursue and beat the dog in the water.

It was just a moment of impatience that didn't remind me of it, but now that my father scolded me, I immediately calmed down.

He gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice,

"Since this is the case, the last general is willing to lead the troops to stay here and defend to the death, covering the general to retreat first."

"Oh?"

Wang Jian looked at the other party and said in a deep voice,

"Tell me about your plan."

"The last general intends to confuse the Han army with the strategy of increasing the stove, making them think that the main force of our army has always been here.

"In this way, the general can lead the main force of the army to escape easily."

Hearing this, Wang Jian didn't speak, but looked at his son carefully.

He has been fighting north and south for these years, and the two father and son did not have many opportunities to meet each other.

It wasn't until this time that he led an army of 30 to fight that the two father and son had the opportunity to meet in the army.

Wang Jian couldn't help feeling a burst of emotion in his heart.

After not seeing each other for several years, his son Wang Ben has faded from his youthfulness, and he is no longer the reckless boy he used to be.

Even though staying would mean dying in battle nine out of ten, Wang Ben resolutely chose to stay.

This made Wang Jian look at him with admiration.

The young eagles will finally spread their wings and fly high!

After all, the son has grown up and become a man of indomitable spirit!

"Well done, you are indeed a descendant of my royal family!

Wang Jian stretched out his hand and patted his son's shoulder heavily, with a rare tenderness in his eyes.

"I will leave [-] elites with you, and you only need to stay here for three days.

"After three days, you lead the troops back immediately, don't hesitate!"

Feeling the deep concern in his father's tone, Wang Ben was moved.

This represented his father's recognition of himself, and he said loudly under excitement,

"As ordered!"

Chapter 848 Subduing Wei Liao

At the same time, in the sky prison, a group of people came to a certain cell under the leadership of the jailer.

The iron gate was slowly pushed open, and Cao Chao walked in slowly.

As far as I could see, a middle-aged man was sitting on the ground.

Seeing that the other party closed his eyes tightly and remained unmoved, Cao Chao began to size up the other party.

This person has a handsome face, a high forehead, and a slender figure, giving people a calm and wise feeling.

So he opened his mouth to test,

"I heard that the reason why the people of Qin were able to sail against the water was because of your hand, and it was also because of your plan to sneak attack on the capital of our great Han country. I don't know if it is true or not?"

"Not bad!"
