Emperor Qin Ba Shi

Chapter 277 On the top of the city, Longdu talks about Pingyang (second update)

Long Du is very clear about the current situation of the Wei Dynasty, and at the same time it is extremely painful. He knows that the first choice for the Qin army to go east is the Western Wei Dynasty, followed by the Henan Kingdom.

Because he is very clear about the current situation of the Great Qin Empire, Hangu Pass is a natural and dangerous barrier, and there is a loophole in Hedong County.

It is impossible for Qin Emperor Hu Hai to turn a blind eye, and now Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, is going north to Qidi, and the battle is raging, and it is impossible to fight.And Liu Ji, king of Liaodong, sent troops to Yuyang County.

The world is in chaos, and the constraints on Qin Emperor Hu Hai have reached the lowest level in history.

……

Especially when Julu was defeated, Hu Hai, the Second Emperor of Qin, seemed to wake up.

The blood of hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Qin army awakened Qin Emperor Hu Hai, and the battle outside Hangu Pass caused Long Du to have a trace of unfathomable hidden worries about Hu Hai.

He had never underestimated the wisdom of the emperor who was stunned in the early stage, otherwise, he would not have stood out among the eighteen brothers.

As the youngest son, reach the pinnacle of life and become the second emperor of the Great Qin Empire.

Qin Ershi Hu Hai's performance in the Battle of Hangu Pass was definitely not inferior to anyone in the world.For this point, the dragon is well aware.

He is clear about this person's strategy, and he will not fail to see that the Western Wei Dynasty is the best choice for the Qin army to go east.

From the bottom of his heart, Longdu no longer thought that the Great Qin Empire was precarious, and that it was luck picked up by mistake that it was still able to settle in a corner under the circumstances of the world's enemies.

At this moment he thought it was a well-planned and extremely clever battle.

The natural danger of Hangu Pass is a jeopardy to block the anti-Qin forces in Shandong, and the birth of Tongwuhou Wang Ben basically cuts off their hope.

As for the soldiers to go to Wuguan, they must go to the Taolin Mountains, or they must get into the ambush circle of the Qin army.

In particular, Qin Emperor Hu Hai was able to decisively order the army to besiege Hangu Pass at the critical moment when the Great Qin Empire was over. This is the foundation of the Great Qin Empire's partial security.

For such a sharp opponent, Long didn't dare to underestimate him in the slightest.

Thoughts were churning in his mind, Long Du smiled faintly: "The Central Plains is raging with flames of war, whether it is Western Chu, or Zhao State, Qi State is all aiming at the world."

"The Qin army is heading east, and the anti-Qin forces in Shandong will definitely lead their troops to support them. But they will definitely not come at the first time. Our army will never support until the last moment of the fight with the Qin army."

"call……"

Letting out a long breath, Wei Yue instantly understood Longdu's worries.In a world of great strife, the kingdoms of the world and the kings of the Central Plains are enemies of each other.

In this world, there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests.For Western Chu, Zhao, Qi and other countries, Western Wei is not only an ally but also an enemy.

After a long silence, Wei Yue cupped his hands: "General, what do you think of the Western Wei Dynasty?"

This question is extremely sincere and sincere.Both Wei Yue and Long knew that Wei could only rely on himself at this moment, and could not rely on other countries for support.

It is undoubtedly the most stupid thing in the world to depend on one's own destiny on the help of others.

"war!"

Long Du suddenly stood up and looked in the direction of Hangu Pass: "I have an army of 20 in the Western Wei Dynasty. Not to mention the Qin army going east, even if King Xiang came west, he would have the strength to fight."

"What's more, the current Great Qin Empire is no longer what it used to be, things are different and people are different. If the Qin army goes east, what can I do!"

For the sake of the army and the people of the Western Wei Dynasty, as the general of Longdu, he had to cater to the feeling of expansion in Wei's heart, and he had to show an attitude of not being afraid of the Qin army.

"Prime Minister, Qin's army going east is unstoppable, you immediately gather food and grass, and the old man gathers an army to fight against Qin's army." Long Du's eyes were like a torch, he paused every word, and said: "Qin's army going east, if they attack Wei, they will go to Pingyang."

"it is good!"

Nodding his head, Wei Yue turned and left.At this moment, the power of the Western Wei Dynasty is not in the hands of Wei Wangbao, Wei Wangbao is just a symbol.

He and General Longdu are the ones who really control the real power of Wei.As long as they combine civil and military forces, there is a possibility to decide the fate of Wei.

Wei Yue knew in his heart that the Qin army would go eastward with the shame of defeat, and the more famous general Wang Ben, once the Qin army went eastward, it would inevitably be a protracted war.

In this way, whether it is food, grass or soldiers, there must be sufficient preparations.

Prime Minister Wei Yue collected grain and grass, and at the same time asked for help from all the countries in the world, and issued a decree with the three counties of the Western Wei Dynasty: explaining the danger of Qin's army going east, and calling on the people of Wei to rise up and resist.

At the same time, a series of general orders came from the general's mansion, and Pingyang began large-scale defense preparations.

Large bundles of arrows, spears, swords, countless rolling logs and rocks, butter torches specially used to burn the ladders, and large baskets of dry food and meat were transported up to the four walls and hoarded.

On this day, Wei Wangbao, the general Longdu, and the prime minister Wei Yue were all at the top of the city.Looking at the piles of dry food, rolling logs, stones, arrows, etc., he frowned.

Wei Wangbao's gaze was like a torch, looking in the direction of Hangu Pass, smiled faintly, and said: "General, if the Qin army raises an army of one hundred thousand to attack, what should we do?"

Standing on the city wall, the general Long Du laughed, and for a moment he was full of pride: "If the Qin army raises an army of [-] to attack, I will swallow it for the king!"

Infected by Longdu, Wei Wangbao also laughed loudly: "General, what if Qin Emperor Hu Hai raises the whole world to attack?"

At this moment, Long Du restrained his smile, stared closely at Wei Wangbao every word, and said: "If Qin Emperor Hu Hai attacks the whole world, I will reject it for the king!"

Eloquent words, majestic ambition.This is the oath of Longdu, the general of the Western Wei Dynasty. Even if Emperor Hu Hai of Qin comes in person, he will not be afraid.

"General, Pingyang is the first choice for the Qin army to attack. Do you have a good plan for this?" After a long silence, Prime Minister Wei Yue sighed quietly.

Although Wei Yue was infected by the arrogance of Longdu and Wei Wangbao, he was aware of the danger of doing this, and Qin Jundong's departure definitely cannot be solved by arrogance.

What's more, when the Qin army went east, the most likely commander was Wang Ben, Marquis of Tongwu.Facing the world-renowned invincible commander who once destroyed the country and the clan, Wei Yue didn't think Longdu could easily defeat him.

Hearing this, Wei Wangbao also set his eyes on General Longdu.Although he is not as good as Liu Ji, the king of Liaodong, and Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, he doesn't know everything.

Wei Wangbao knew very well that no matter how proud the general Long was, he would be so arrogant.It is the kingly way to defend Pingyang and ensure that the state of Wei is not broken.

Sensing the gazes of Wei Wangbao and Wei Yue, General Long Du paused, pointed to the Pingyang city wall, and said: "Although Pingyang was not the capital of Wei State during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, and the city is not big, it has two very prominent features. .”

"One is that the city wall is wide and high, and it is all built with stone strips and special large blue bricks, and the female wall watchtower is all built with stone materials."

"Secondly, there is a moat about three feet wide outside the city, and the water source is drawn from the Fen River flowing outside the city. Compared with the small water trickle of ordinary moat rivers, it is simply an insurmountable gap."
