When Fusu, Han Xin and others returned to the prefect's mansion, they saw that Meng Tian was about to go out with thousands of troops.Fu Su hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "General Meng doesn't have to go out anymore." Meng Tian felt relieved when he saw him come back safely, and said: "The last general has been away to see the prince for a long time, and there is no one from General Han. When I came back to report the letter, I didn’t feel relieved, so I wanted to take people to have a look. Since the prince is ill, let the soldiers go back to rest.” Then he asked the soldiers to dismiss and go back, and he went in with Fusu and Han Xin Just as Zhang Liang came out of the mansion, the five of them went into the main hall and sat down while talking.

"... Just like that, Mo Jiuxing and Le Ding were all shot to death under the random arrows of the sergeants brought by General Han." Fu Su told the whole story .

"I didn't expect that Leding's surrender this time had another purpose. He wanted to trick the prince into their trap, and his heart would be punishable." Meng Tian said bitterly, "If Brother Peng Hong didn't arrive in time, this time it would be too late." Too bad." There was still a trace of fear in his tone.

Peng Hong smiled and said: "If it wasn't for General Han leading the army here, I wouldn't be the opponent of Mo Jiuxing. It's surprising that there are such people in the world. I used to think that my martial arts are already good. Unexpectedly, compared with such a master, it is still too far behind."

"As long as one's martial arts can protect oneself, it is enough. No matter how high your martial arts are, when you are really facing the attack of thousands of troops and random arrows, you still have to die?" Fusu said indifferently.

Zhang Liang asked: "Didn't the prince never kill Le Ding in the past few days, why is he so motivated today?" Zhang Liang also admired Le Ding's ability, and wanted to take him in as Fusu did. Fight by yourself.

Fusu looked at the wound on Peng Hong's shoulder and said, "I killed him for three reasons. First, I had some scruples about him a few days ago. If I killed him, it would cause dissatisfaction among the people in Sanchuan County. He has been an official here for a long time, and the relationship with the people here is very good. But now the people of Sanchuan have returned their hearts, even if he dies, the people will not be our enemies in order to live a good life for themselves. Second , because he first surrendered to me and then betrayed me, the person I hate the most in my life is the person who betrays me, no matter how good he is, I can't use him." Speaking of this, Fusu thought of his own past before time travel. That action was because of someone's betrayal that led to the death of some comrades in arms. At the same time, he also thought of the fact that Li Heng, whom he had always trusted, finally betrayed him and was executed by him, and his face darkened.

Among the people present, only Meng Tian and Peng Hong knew about Li Heng, but Peng Hong didn't know about the relationship between Fu Su and Li Heng, so Meng Tian, ​​who knew Fu Su the most, guessed that Fu Su had thought of this mistake as soon as he saw Fu Su's appearance. The person who wished to think, so he diverted his train of thought and said, "I don't know what the third point is?"

Sure enough, his question brought Fusu back from his thoughts. He sighed and said, "The third point is because Mo Jiuxing is too difficult to deal with. If he is allowed to leave, there will be danger by my side at any time." , and if you want to kill him, you must use Leding as bait. This is also to prevent the person who protects me from being hurt again. So this Leding must be killed." Speaking of this, Fusu's eyes were full of murderous intent.

Peng Hong glanced at Fu Su movedly, knowing that Fu Su was referring to not wanting others to be hurt.

Zhang Liangdao: "The prince is really a person who does great things, he will break it when he is ready, and he will never be muddled. I really admire it. I don't know what the prince plans to do next?"

Fu Su looked at Meng Tian and Han Xin and said, "Now Sanchuan County can be regarded as completely taken down. According to the information sent from Chu, Zhang Han brought a large number of troops to rush here, even though he suffered a disadvantage in Chu. , we must capture Xianyang first before him. Otherwise, it will be dangerous for the Qin army to flank us. I don’t know which of the two generals would like to attack Hangu Pass first?”

Han Xin glanced at Meng Tian and said: "General Meng is the general of Qin State, he should be very familiar with Hangu Pass, why don't you lead the troops to attack first.

Meng Tian said without hesitation: "Okay, although this Hangu Pass is notoriously easy to defend and difficult to attack, I still have the confidence to take it down. After all, the elite Qin army guarding Hangu Pass are no longer in the pass. Relying on those old and weak soldiers is impossible to defend the most powerful pass in the world."

"Okay, since General Meng is so confident, I'll give you 3 troops to go ahead. It's not too late. The soldiers will send a letter to Guguan tomorrow morning, and I will finish all the matters in Sanchuan County Bring the army to help." Fu Su said happily.

So several people decided on a countermeasure to take Hangu Pass, and then went back to rest.

Hangu Pass is one of the earliest Xiongguan fortresses built in Chinese history. Because it is closed in the valley, it is as deep and dangerous as a letter, so it is called Hangu Pass. It is known as "one man guards the pass, and ten thousand men cannot open it".It occupies the plateau in the west, Juejian in the east, Qinling in the south, and the Yellow River in the north. It is the throat of Xianyang. Therefore, if the six Shandong countries want to attack Qin, Hangu Pass is the most important barrier.In the third year of King Zhou Shenliang, the five kingdoms of Chu, Zhao, Wei, Han, and Yan attacked Qin, and Qin defeated the armies of the five kingdoms according to the natural danger of Hangu Pass.In the sixth year of Qin Shihuang, the five kingdoms of Chu, Zhao, Wei, Han, and Wei attacked Qin, but they were also defeated by Qin at Hangu Pass, so it is not an exaggeration to say that Hangu Pass is a natural danger.Now Fusu's goal is to take it down, the difficulty can be seen.

The few remaining troops of the Qin State have been brought to Hangu Pass, and fortunately, it took a lot of time for the Leding Defender to help the Soviet Army to attack, so that the Qin Army can calmly arrange here. Everything was properly arranged, and many traps had already been laid on the roads outside the customs, just waiting for the Fusu army to come and die.

It's a pity that what they met was Meng Tian, ​​who knew the terrain of Hangu Pass well, and was calm and cautious, so as soon as he led his troops to the valley road, he ordered them to slow down and advance slowly to prevent being attacked.In this way, some of the traps of the Qin army were quickly discovered and destroyed by them, and then 3 people came to Hangu Pass.

After deploying the troops, Meng Tian ordered people to send two letters of persuasion and challenge to Guanzhong, just waiting for their response.But the Qin general in the city neither agreed to surrender nor paid any attention to the battle outside the city. He just ordered his soldiers to strengthen their defenses on the city in case of a sudden attack by the Fusu army.Seeing that the other party didn't react at all, Meng Tian knew that they knew that their soldiers and horses were not enough to confront him head-on, so they focused on defense.Since the opponent was only on the defensive, Meng Tian stopped being polite and launched an attack on the Xiongguan Pass on the second day after arriving at Hangu Pass.

For a while, the arrows came and went intensively, and the defenders on the city had been prepared. In order to prevent the Fusu army from rushing to the city wall to build a ladder, they blocked the advance path of the Fusu army with arrows. The first step is to withstand the sharp arrows flying towards him.Fortunately, these soldiers were well equipped, so although they were hit by arrows, they did not hurt their lives.But even so, they still couldn't attack and set up a ladder under the city wall.

However, the crossbow arrows fired by the Fusu army towards the gate were too far away and the gate wall was too high, so not many of them could be shot up. flew.

The two sides continued to attack and defend for more than half a day. Finally, Meng Tian saw that the soldiers were exhausted, but the arrows of the closed Qin army did not stop. Fight again in two days.After returning to the camp, Meng Tian found that 3000 people had been killed and 2000 people had been injured. He lost so many horses without even touching the city wall of Hangu Pass in one day. Meng Tian couldn't help being furious.I was full of words in front of the prince, but unexpectedly it was so ineffective.

In the early morning of the next day, Meng Tian continued to urge the soldiers to move forward bravely, but the arrow rain on the city seemed to be exhausted. No matter how they charged, they were still blocked by the arrows, and thousands of corpses were thrown away.

In this way, for three days in a row, Meng Tian's army lost nearly 8000 troops, and finally rushed to the pass when Qin's army was short of arrows, and set up a ladder.But before Meng Tian had time to be happy, the closed ring fell down like raindrops, and the soldier who had just climbed up the ladder was quickly smashed back to the ground. up.

Seeing the soldiers rushing forward bravely, but soon died under the rocks and trees, Meng Tian, ​​the general of the Great Qin Dynasty, realized that the reputation of Hangu Pass was not fake.He hadn't looked at the terrain carefully when he came here before, but now he has suffered a big loss.If so, the stalemate continued for another day, and the Fusu army lost more than [-] people, and they were unable to climb the wall. After they withdrew their troops, the Guanzhong Qin army honestly pulled the ladder built by the wall into the pass. , Waiting for the next day to use them to cause new troubles for the Fusu Army.

On the fifth day, Fusu finally brought his troops to Hangu Pass.In Fusu's impression, the first time I knew the name of Hanguguan was because Lao Tzu, the founder of a TV program preaching Taoism, said that he said that he rode a green bull here to get out of the pass and become an immortal, so in Fusu's heart here It's a wonderland.But when he saw Meng Tian heard from him that his army had lost more than ten thousand people, he realized that this Hangu Pass was also a Shura field.After he watched his soldiers' charges and attacks completely defeated by the enemy, he could confirm the difficulty of attacking here.

"This Hangu Pass is indeed difficult to attack. It seems that there are not too many guards in the pass, but it can be defended as solid as gold, making it difficult for us to advance." Zhang Liang also sighed.

"It's too narrow here, and it's sandwiched between two mountains, so we can only attack from the front. In this way, no matter how large our army is, we can only advance in batches, so that they can deal with it calmly." Meng Tian bitterly said with a straight face.

For a while, the few people present were silent, and they didn't know what to do.
