Chapter 729 Failure
Meng Guan was wrapped with a cloth belt, and blood was faintly oozing from it.

It wasn't what Sima Yan's scouts said, Meng Guan was caught off guard, but he was defeated solidly.

Chen Qian put his life on the line as soon as he came up, regardless of casualties or costs, concentrated his forces to storm the left front base, and then broke through the entire defense line from the left front base.

The Qin army has an advantage in field battles, but the infantry under Chen Qian's command are also elite.

And when Chen Qian was in his 60s, he entered the battle with a sword, and the Jin soldiers used their lives.

There is also Zhang Fang, the supervisor of the tent, who is very brave. He raised two heavy halberds and charged into the Qin army.

This is the most incomprehensible thing on the battlefield, and you won't cheat with each other. You will be crushed by your strength, and you will die as soon as you come up.

During Feng Sa's battle, Meng Guan raided Baishui City, allowing Yang Zheng to secure the final victory.

His strengths are offense, not defense.

Facing an opponent of Chen Qian's level, failure is inevitable.

If it wasn't for Pang Qing's rescue, Meng Guan would have confessed that he was in Huayin.

"Guanzhong is lost in my hands, how can I see Your Majesty!" Meng Guan sighed.

Looking back, [-] government soldiers died or fled, leaving only [-] routs, many of whom were still wounded, extremely depressed.

"The war has just begun, and it's too early to say defeat at this time!" Pang Qing laughed.

He could still laugh at this time, leaving Meng Guan speechless for a while.

"The generals of the Central Plains first recommended Chen Qian and Shi Bao. If you can keep Chen Qian, it will be enough for you to make up for it. Winning or losing is a common matter in military affairs. Don't worry too much about it. Besides, Duke Lu has already fortified the wall and cleared the field. General Zhang refused to defend Zheng County, Lantian, Ba Ling, Chen Qian and Wang Jun don't have the strength to break through Chang'an!" Pang Qing comforted.

Tongguan is in the hands of Sima Yan, and the east of Chang'an has long been prepared.

As soon as Chen Qian's army entered the pass, the common people and the government soldiers took refuge in the Wubao and the city.

If Chen Qian fought one by one, by the time he reached Chang'an, his troops would have been exhausted.

But if they don't fight, the soldiers in these Wubao and small towns will harass their rear.

Qin's advantage lies in its ability to mobilize the bottom.

As for surrender, it is very difficult to happen in Qin.

Under the instigation of Xuan Yisi, the common people hated the Jin army deeply, and regarded them as blood feuds who came to rob their fertile land, wives and daughters.

The Jin army did exactly that.

Along the way, the smoke and dust billowed, and the villages were burned down, and the fertile fields were trampled on, and the people were captured and beheaded on the spot...

Chen Qian's purpose is very clear, to turn Guanzhong into scorched earth.

Having said that, Meng Guan still felt uncomfortable.

Pang Qing patted him on the shoulder, "It's impossible to cover every aspect of a battle with 10 people. I don't have time to sigh here. If I have this time, I might as well think about how to get revenge!"

Revenge Snow Hate!

Fighting spirit gradually ignited in Meng Guan's eyes, "Chen Qian is at the front, and Wang Jun is at the back, supporting each other, it seems hard to shake with our strength!"

Both Chen Qian and Wang Jun are veterans of using soldiers.

Wang Jun and Meng Guan have been fighting against each other for several years, and they know the basics well, so they are not easy characters to deal with.

However, Pang Qing's calm face made Meng Guan feel at ease. The two had collaborated many times before, and they both came from the youth camp. They were inseparable. Seeing Pang Qing's eyes, Meng Guan's heart moved, "Unless... Let's attack its grain road, or sneak attack Tongguan!"

"That's why His Majesty sent me here!" A stern light flashed in Pang Qing's eyes.

In the past few years, the general faction has risen, Wei Guan, Ma Long, and Wen Yang have shined brilliantly, but those who came from the youth camp have been depressed a lot in the past few years.

Pang was young, and it was the time when he was most thirsty for power.

If this battle can make an indelible contribution, there will be hope for Pingshang Shushi.

In fact, he also knew that Yang Zheng had this intention long ago.

The purpose is to balance the power of the gradually rising Shuzhong scholars and Yongliang scholars.

A general line is too thin.

The children of Qingying are still growing up. Whether Pang Qing can stand out and become the eighth Pingshang Shushi depends on this battle.

"Your Majesty has high hopes for us, you and I must not miss this opportunity!" Pang Qing said in a deep voice.

Meng Guan's whole body was shocked.

He vaguely understood what Yang Zheng sent Pang Qing to come.

Huayin's soldiers suffered heavy losses, but the [-] elite Chinese troops brought by Pang Qing still had high morale.

Many of these people were from Qiang, Di, and Cong, and they were good at fighting in mountains.

"I'm afraid Wang Jun is blocking Huayin to prevent our army from attacking Tongguan!" Meng Guan asked a very realistic question.

Pang Qing's eyes became deep, "Your Majesty has hidden General Zhang for so many years, maybe it is for today. A good fighter has no great achievements. How can I know that Chen Qian will not die under the city of Chang'an like Wang Ji? If Chen Qian loses, I guess Wang Jun will Won't you stand by and watch?"

If something happened to Chen Qian, Wang Jun would be alone.

What shrewd hunters are best at is to lie silently, wait for the opportunity, and then kill them with one blow...

At this moment, Chang'an was already tense.

The soldiers boarded the city wall, and all the scouts were scattered.

The young and strong in the city were also organized.

Prince Yang Xu followed Lu Zhi to condolences to the soldiers and the people, so although the city was tense, there was no panic.

It's just that the black smoke rising to the sky from the east made Yang Xu a little uneasy, "The Jin bandits trampled on good fields and burned villages, it's extremely hateful."

Lu Zhi said in a warm voice: "Fine land is destroyed, so it can be plowed again, and villages are burned, so they can be rebuilt in the future. The way to govern the country is to rule people's hearts first, and people are united. Why don't you worry about Daqin not being able to cheer up?"

Yang Xu, Yang Wu, and Yang Hong at the side were all thoughtful.

At this time, there was a sound of hooves coming from the east.

A dark red cavalry came rushing forward and shouted at Chang'an City: "Qin Bandit Yu Yu, listen, Yang Bandit has been defeated and captured at Hedong, Your Majesty has led millions of Central Plains kings into the pass, and you will surrender as soon as possible!" , If it is too late, no one will be left behind, no one will be left behind, no one will be left behind!"

The voice became louder and louder.

The cavalrymen on horseback waved their banners one by one, and the smoke and dust billowed, quite impressive.

The defenders on the city suddenly fell into silence, all looking at Lu Zhi and Prince Yang Xu.

"Father, father..." Yang Hong's face was pale, and he was frightened back by Lu Zhi's sharp eyes as soon as he opened his mouth.

Different from Yang Yi and Yang Wu, Yang Hong has been following celebrities such as Ji Kang.

I have never seen such a battle before, the general Jin army was so aggressive that he lost his sense for a while.

Yang Wu was calm and impermanent.

Yang Xu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly he burst out laughing, and a childish voice sounded on the city wall, "Father is invincible in the world, this must be to cheat the city!"

Every father is a mountain in the hearts of children.

Lu Zhi smiled very gratified, "What Your Highness said is true!"

Yang Wudao: "Sima Zhao is not the father's opponent, let alone Sima Yan? Chen Qian's deceitful technique is not the work of a real man!"

Lu Zhi and the prince did not panic, and the defenders on the city settled down.

The cavalry below the city roared for a while, but when there was no movement, they retreated.

"Teacher hasn't said how to cure people's hearts." Yang Xu asked.

"If you want to cure others' minds, you must first cure your own mind. When your mind is upright, your body will be upright. If your body is upright, your actions will be upright. If your actions are upright, your hearts will return!" The longer you spend with Yang Xu, the more you will be full of expectations.

"Why did the Sima family have a bad heart and a bad body, so they were able to stabilize the country?" Yang Xu asked curiously.

"That's why the heaven sent your father to overthrow the Sima family." Lu Zhi laughed.
