Chapter 35: Lord Xinling raises an army to attack Qin, Duke Biao has reached Hangu Pass



A solemn and murderous atmosphere permeated the land.

Xinling Jun stood on a high platform, looking at the 100,000 Wei soldiers below.

After these days of training, the 100,000 Wei soldiers finally showed some of the style of the Wei Wuzu, which also gave Xinling Jun the confidence to attack Hangu Pass.

But sometimes faith is just faith.

Xinping Jun Lian Po stood aside, looking at the old man in front of him who was as old as him. Time and fate had made the high-spirited Young Master Wuji no longer resemble him at all.

He still remembered how humble and domineering Master Wuji was back then.

That is a kind of temperament, the temperament of a common leader, the gentlemanly style of respecting the wise and humble and speaking his mind.

Wuxiang Jun Le Cheng was not there. He returned to the Zhao capital Handan alone. This was also the intention of King Xiaocheng of Zhao.

King Xiaocheng of Zhao did not want to attack Qin, even if the 400,000 wronged souls in Changping were watching him.

A deep blood feud cannot compare to the so-called territory of the world and endless rights.

But after all, it was proposed jointly by Xinling Jun and Lian Po, and Le Cheng had not yet opposed it. In addition, the ministers in the court also made strong comments, so he sent troops reluctantly.

However, even so, King Xiaocheng of Zhao still recalled Le Cheng. After all, if you can't win, you can just run away!

Today is the day that Lord Xinling has decided to launch an attack on Qin. According to the news that arrived yesterday, the Qin generals Wang He and Lu Buwei have invaded Wei and captured three cities.

King Anli of Wei ordered Xinling Jun to return to defend the city more than once, but Xinling Jun ignored him every time, saying, "A general is not subject to military orders when he is away from the battlefield."

There might be loyal and righteous men among the 100,000 Wei soldiers, but apart from the middle and upper-level officers, how many of those living in the barracks knew that Wei was under siege?

Most of them still thought that Qin was still making moves on the border of Zhao State, and a small number of them didn't know where they had come from or what they were going to do.

Xinling Jun still had a smile on his face as he calmly looked at the 100,000 soldiers below him, his face full of kindness.

This kindness may be false, or it may be something else, but no matter what it is, it is not something that these 100,000 soldiers can afford.

They were sold here for 50,000 taels of gold, thinking they were guarding the border according to the king's orders. Now, even that so-called title is gone.

If they had lost this battle, Xinling Jun would have been remembered for eternity, and so would Lian Po. At the very least, a whole page in history would have been devoted to recording this tragic event.

And what about these soldiers?

Not only would he be regarded as a traitor, he would even be barely mentioned in history books.

Lian Po watched Xinling Jun's deception in silence, and felt the other side of this person in the most intuitive way.

A madman, but also a genius. He had never thoroughly studied military laws and military manuals, but he always managed to give him unexpected insights.

Qin's tactics were nothing more than relying on the advantage of Hangu Pass to sweep through various countries with surprise attacks, forcing the coalition forces to break up and have to retreat to defend.

As long as the troops return to defend, Qin will go out of Hangu Pass again and sweep eastward. The troops of various countries will no longer gather together, so how can they stop the Qin army?

By then, among all the countries, Zhao would probably be the only one that would face the Qin army head-on and be destroyed in one fell swoop. The other countries, fearing the power of Qin, would cede land to seek peace, or pay a large sum of money to assure their crimes, and then leave hostages in Xianyang.

At this point, the six countries had no power to resist, and it was impossible for Xinling Jun to change the situation by himself to save Zhao and delay Qin's eastward advance.

However, now Lord Xinling is not leading his troops to retreat, but instead wants to pass through Zhao State to attack Qin, using the strategy of advancing to retreat.

If this plan is successful, Zhao's crisis can be resolved, Qin's royal family will be wiped out, Wei will suffer great damage, and Zhao will be the one to gain the most.

So, how could he not agree?

Otherwise, given Le Cheng's personality, it would be impossible for him to join him in writing a letter to request King Xiaocheng of Zhao to send troops to attack Qin.

Under this premise, even if Xinling Jun killed all these 100,000 soldiers, Lian Po would not say a word.

As long as the power is strong enough and the benefits are attractive enough, no matter what Xinling Jun does, it is right in Lian Po's eyes.

He would only agree, not object.

The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying. Where can we find brave warriors to guard the four directions?

The strong wind came at the right time, and the raised sand and dust were just like the fate of this group of Wei soldiers, flying up and then dissipating!

It was still cold at Hangu Pass.

Bie Gong has been here for more than a day, and has been walking around this majestic pass for more than a day.

As long as the enemy cannot defeat Hangu Pass, the Qin Dynasty will not perish.

This is the truth that has been learned through countless practices since the founding of the Qin Dynasty.

Several times powerful enemies invaded Hangu Pass to attack Xianyang, but what was the result? They all turned into a pile of bones outside Hangu Pass, while Xianyang remained there, intact.

Chen Xuan was also gazing at this ancient pass. Ever since Qin sent troops to various countries, his body seemed to be getting bigger and bigger, so big that even the Xianyang Palace could not accommodate him anymore.

Ying Zheng was startled at first, but then he became stubborn and insisted that Chen Xuan take him flying for a while.

And then - then Chen Xuan discovered that Ying Zheng could only see him but could not touch him.

We’ll talk about this later.

Now Chen Xuan seems to have more control over Xianyang. He can know all the news, big and small, in Xianyang City with just a thought.

Even the area where the feeling was felt had expanded a bit. For example, now it had expanded to Hangu Pass.

What kind of concept is this?

It is likely that a million soldiers attacked Hangu Pass together. Even if there was only one soldier or civilian guarding Hangu Pass, it could not be broken.

Is this the convenience provided by the beast armor because they are afraid that Qin Kuo will get hurt if he steps too fast?

Chen Xuan didn’t know. All he needed to know now was that this change was good for him and the State of Qin.

At the very least, it's good if he doesn't cheat you.
