Daqin: Prince Peerless, guarding Hangu for ten years!

Chapter 236 News reaches the country!

at the same time.

The capital of Xianyang.

A secret report sent by a secret agent from the State of Zhao to be sent back to the State of Qin was passed into the palace, breaking the silence in the palace.

"Urgent report!"

"Urgent report!"

"Urgent report from Zhao State!!! Get out of the way!!"

A cavalry messenger shouted, waving his hand.

The surrounding soldiers who were patrolling the safety of the palace quickly ducked aside when they saw the cavalry detective and took the initiative to get out of the way.

The cavalry detective galloped all the way, no one stopped him wherever he passed.

He quickly arrived in front of the palace, and after handing the secret report to the guard at the door, he took a long breath and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

It only took less than a few hours for this secret report to be sent all the way to Xianyang Palace, which shows the importance of this secret report.

The guards did not dare to stop after receiving the secret report, and immediately ran towards Qin King Ying Ji's bedroom.

"Squeak" sounded.

The door to Ying Ji's bedroom was pushed open, and the guard immediately knelt in front of the bed and said, "Your Majesty, a secret report from the Kingdom of Zhao!"

Hearing the sound, Ying Ji slowly opened his eyes, stood up and sat up, waving to the guards.

The guard hurriedly walked forward on his knees and handed the secret report in his hand to Ying Ji.

Ying Ji picked up the secret report and looked at it with a tired face.

After a moment, his eyes suddenly widened, and then he snorted coldly: "How can it be unreasonable that a bunch of rabble-rousers are trying to attack our country, Great Qin?"

After saying that, he quickly shouted to the guards: "Quickly, let Prime Minister Fan Sui, Wang Jian, Meng Ao and others enter the palace to discuss matters!"

"Here!"

The guard responded, immediately retreated quickly, and ran all the way out of the palace.

After a while.

In the palace of King Qin.

Prime Minister Fan Sui, General Wang Jian, and Meng Ao stood side by side in the main hall, with a trace of worry on their faces.

At present, the troops of the three countries have gathered in Zhao State, and the troops of the four countries will arrive outside Hangu Pass in a few days.

Even Wang Jian, who had always been experienced in combat, could not help but frown with a hint of embarrassment on his face.

If it were before, let alone the strength of the four countries, he would be confident that he would be able to repel these armies if the armies of the six countries invaded.

But today is different from the past. Today's Qin State is seriously short of food and grass, military equipment, and baggage. Once it fights against the millions of armies of the four countries, it will be these supplies that it will fight for.

Especially in city defense battles, a large number of city defense equipment and supplies are needed to resist the offensive of the army and kill the enemy troops under the city. Although the old Qin people are not afraid of life and death, if they wait until the Qin State's supplies are exhausted, , then the soldiers of Qin State will face the situation of hand-to-hand combat with the enemy, and Qin State will be at a disadvantage.

Hangu Pass is located on the plateau in the west, Juejian in the east, Qinling Mountains in the south, and the Yellow River in the north. The location is difficult to defend and difficult to attack. The armies of the Six Kingdoms repeatedly invaded Qin. When they reached Hangu, they were defeated and fled. It can be seen that Hangu Pass importance to Qin.

Once Hangu Pass is lost and captured by the Six Nations, the armies of the Six Nations will march straight in, and there will no longer be any city in the entire territory that can withstand these millions of enemy troops.Seeing that everyone was silent, Ying Ji felt inexplicably anxious.

Now that Bai Qi is old, he no longer has the high spirits of the past.

Even though Wang Jian and Meng Ao have rich combat experience, it is difficult for them alone to compete with the armies of the four countries.

As for Wang Zijun and Wang Zizhu, one was on the grassland to seize supplies for the Qin Dynasty, and the other was at the Shandan Army Horse Farm to tame war horses, train soldiers, and grow food for the Qin Dynasty. They both performed their respective duties.

There are very few advisers like Fan Sui in the entire Qin Dynasty.

It's a waste of time that Daqin has dozens or hundreds of cities, and there are millions of people in the country, but there are only a few available people.

After this battle, it is time to recruit talents for Great Qin. Only in this way can Great Qin continue to be strong.

But for now, we still have to focus on solving the four-nation alliance.

Thinking of this, a flash of light flashed in Ying Ji's eyes, and he looked at everyone with determination on his face: "This time Zhao State has united with Yan, Han, and Wei to attack Qin again. Now they have gathered troops on Zhao, and they will attack Qin soon. The troops are approaching Hangu Pass, do you have any countermeasures?"

After the words fell, everyone fell into deep thought.

Then Prime Minister Fan Sui took the lead to step forward and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Hangu is located in a dangerous place. Even if the four countries join forces with millions of troops, as long as our Qin soldiers fight to the death to defend the enemy, I believe they will not be able to capture it for a while. "

"At that time, the king only needs to send people to recall Wang Zijun to Hangu to defend against the enemy. With the strength of Wang Zijun and his cavalry, it is no problem to break through the enemy camps of the four countries. When the time comes, the soldiers in the pass will also take advantage of the situation to attack, and they will surely defeat the four countries. Coalition forces.”

Fan Sui couldn't help but show a trace of worry in his eyes as he spoke, and his whole face became heavy.

When Ying Ji heard the strategy proposed by Fan Sui just now, he also agreed in his heart.

He had seen with his own eyes the strength of Wang Zijun and his cavalry, and no one in the Six Kingdoms could compare with them.

Even the fact that he was able to return to Qin with Jiuding safe and sound was all due to them.

If Yingjun is transferred back and the officers and soldiers inside the pass cooperate with each other, it will not be a problem to defeat the coalition forces.

But when Ying Ji turned to look at Fan Sui, he saw a heavy look on his face, and a look of confusion flashed in his eyes. He stepped forward and asked, "Prime Minister, what are your concerns?"

Fan Sui sighed and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the State of Zhao and our State of Qin have always had a deep hatred. Zhao State must have instigated the six countries to unite this time. Now the other three countries have sent troops, but only Chu and Qi It is really puzzling that these two powerful countries did not send troops."

Meng Ao heard the sound and walked out. After saluting Ying Ji and the others, he raised his head and looked at Fan Sui and said, "Prime Minister, there are three reasons why Qi State did not send troops to help Zhao among the last generals."

"First, the State of Qi has trade relations with our Great Qin, and we don't want to offend our Great Qin because of a Zhao State, thereby losing the interests of their Qi State."

"Secondly, when the State of Zhao was strong and powerful, it also sent troops to attack the State of Qi, and even captured dozens of cities in the State of Qi. Therefore, the State of Qi hated Zhao State."

"Thirdly, the reason why Qi State did not send troops is to protect themselves. If Qi State sends troops to help Zhao in this battle, once Zhao State is defeated, the king will definitely cut off trade with Qi State, and even send troops to attack Qi State, and they, Qi State, are businessmen How can our country resist our Qin soldiers?"

"In addition, if Qi State does not send troops to help Zhao, Qi State's defeat by Zhao State will be regarded as revenge, and it can also be used to make good relations with Qin State."

Listening to Meng Ao's analysis, Ying Ji looked at him with relief in his eyes and praised in his heart.

The Meng family is indeed the mainstay of the Qin State, and everyone is brave and resourceful.

Fan Sui nodded in agreement, these were in line with what he was thinking, but he was not worried about Qi State, so he immediately said: "What General Meng said is indeed true, but what Wei Chen is worried about is not Qi State, but Chu State. "

"Chu country?"
