Before going on the expedition, Lin Han summoned Mo Qi and handed over the handwritten copies of "Lu Ban's Book" and "Mojia Mechanical Techniques" obtained in Japan, along with the design drawings of "Mirage", to Mo Qi.

Mo Qi was ecstatic when he got the two long-lost secret scrolls of the mechanism.

These two classics representing the highest achievements in the field of mechanisms unexpectedly appeared at the same time, and they also contained the long-lost Mohist mechanical techniques.

With two secret scrolls, their equipment research will advance by leaps and bounds.

There are also design drawings of the [Mirage], the ship that Qin Shihuang sent Xu Fu on when he went out to sea to search for immortals.

"You ordered people to build this tower ship in Kuye State. I need a navy." Lin Han said.

"Okay." Mo Qi agreed happily.

Three hundred thousand soldiers and horses gathered outside Baidan City.

After the destruction of the Xianbei, Daxia went into a dormant period. Now it is raising an army again, with 300,000 elite soldiers, all of whom are special troops and have experienced many battles.

With Lin Han's order, the army set out.

Xu Huang led 200,000 troops to the east where Bailang Mountain was located. Lin Han led 100,000 troops and brought baggage to the west where Shanggu County was located with Yu Du.

The siege vehicles manufactured by the Artisan Department were also included in the baggage. As strategic siege equipment, they greatly improved the efficiency of the siege.

Juyongguan is now being defended by Zhang He. The prefect of Shanggu County, who was tricked back by Jia Xu into going deep into the enemy camp, is now Zhang He.

In this chaotic world, no one cares about Zhang He’s true identity.

With the Han Dynasty's letter of appointment, identity card and prefectural seal, no one can verify who you are.

After Zhang He entered Shanggu County, he used the pretext of trading with Daxia, but in fact he was transporting a steady stream of city defense equipment and materials to Juyongguan to strengthen the pass.

After not seeing each other for many months, Lin Han had no idea how well the Juyongguan City was defended at that moment.

After two days of marching, the army crossed Yanshan Mountain and Gushui River and arrived at Juyong.

Among the nine great passes in the world, the eight passes of Taihang Mountains, and the most magnificent pass in the world is the Juyong Pass in front of us.

The pass is connected to Lulong and Jieshi in the east and Taihang Mountain and Changshan in the west. It is located in an 18-kilometer-long valley. The mountains on both sides are steep and rugged, with clear springs flowing and green peaks overlapping.

Gongsun Zan's base camp, Yuyang, was only separated from it by the Jundu Mountain, and threatened Zhuojun and Guangyang to the south.

Compared to the last time he visited Juyongguan, the city defenses had changed a lot.

The city wall is a hundred feet high, built with rocks and cement. Important places are reinforced with large piles, making it so powerful that one man can block the passage of ten thousand men.

Lin Han could see from just outside the city wall that each of the battlements was equipped with a rotary missile, the city gate was doubly reinforced, and there was a moat and drawbridge in front.

Even a million-strong army is helpless here.

When Lin Han's army arrived, Zhang He came out to greet them in surprise.

…

In Yuyang, Gongsun Zan's brows were furrowed for a long time.

Daxia drove its troops into Shanggu County and entered Juyong Pass, with as many as 100,000 elite soldiers. It was difficult for him not to be discovered.

Daxia came prepared.

The spies reported that the King of Daxia was leading the army in person.

This matter is of no trivial importance.

Earlier, the prefect of Shanggu County led troops to enter Juyong Pass. He was just confused and didn't know where the troops came from. Now the King of Daxia is personally leading the army and leading 100,000 troops to enter Juyong Pass. This action is not concealed at all.

Has the prefect of Shanggu County defected to the King of Daxia?

The arrival of 100,000 elite troops, plus the 50,000 troops already present in Juyong Pass, totaling 150,000 elite troops, made him feel like he was being stabbed in the back, an unprecedented pressure.

The mysterious King of Daxia puts him under more pressure than Yuan Shao.

"Your Excellency," the spy hurried in and bowed before Gongsun Zan. "Your Excellency, I have ascertained the truth. Great Xia is involved. Liu Yu has sent envoys to invite the King of Great Xia to Youzhou to aid him in resisting your clan's offensive. To the east, there are two hundred thousand elite troops led by a general from Great Xia."

"Liu Yu brought him in?"

Gongsun Zan's expression changed slightly, but he did not forget to confirm it again, secretly cursing Liu Yu as a fool.

A typical example of letting a wolf into the house.

That pedantic Confucian scholar only knew pedantic politics and had no idea about military affairs. He was completely unable to see that Youzhou was facing an unprecedented crisis.

There are still 200,000 elite troops in the east, and Daxia has dispatched 300,000 elite troops. This is probably the only number of troops that were used to destroy the Xianbei.

Daxia responded to the situation in Youzhou by taking the attitude of destroying the Xianbei.

"Incompetent people, extremely stupid."

Gongsun Zan couldn't help but curse.

The entire Youzhou fell into unprecedented tension, especially Gongsun Zan. There was Yuan Shao in the south, the Great Xia Dynasty in the north, and Liu Yu in the middle.

When Gongsun Du of Liaodong heard that Daxia had been recruited by Liu Yu and Xu Huang was leading 200,000 troops to Bailang Mountain, he hurriedly withdrew from the captured towns in Liaoxi County and recalled the troops that had crossed the sea to Qingzhou. He was extremely nervous.

The happiest person was Liu Yu.

When the Great Xia Dynasty led its troops to attack, his pressure suddenly decreased, especially after Gongsun Du withdrew his troops. He immediately dispatched troops and began to chase Gongsun Du's army.

Fearing that the Great Xia army would take advantage of the situation, Gongsun Du retreated while cursing, refusing to confront Liu Yu, a pedantic man.

…

"kill!"

"Kill them!"

"Kill him."

On the battlefield, Yuan Shu roared hysterically, his eyes red as he stared at the three leaders.

He recognized these three people. They were the three soldiers who wanted to join the martial arts arena during the Suanzao Alliance. One had a leopard head, one wore green clothes, and the other was a man with big ears.

The big-eared man was Gongsun Zan's junior fellow apprentice, but he couldn't remember his name.

It was these three people whose names were unknown who became the last line of defense blocking his way.

No one can stop the man in green clothes and the leopard head.

All the soldiers were in the hands of the two men, and no one could match them.

Looking at the scene of retreat on the battlefield, Yuan Shu was furious.
