In the central army tent.
Cao Cao, Zhao Kuo and four provincial governors were discussing the next military plan.
The former said to the crowd: "According to reliable information, the reinforcements from Chu will arrive at Hangu Pass in at most half a month.
In other words, our army now has no way out and can only risk everything to capture Hangu Pass within half a month."
Zhao Kuo said, "An informant reported that Xiang Yan is almost recovered.
However, I heard from a man named Li Yuan that Xiang Yan will die in a few days at most. I don’t know who to believe, whether it is true or not.
If Xiang Yan could really die in Hangu Pass in the next few days, then it would definitely increase our chances of capturing Hangu Pass."
Ying Yuan appointed him as deputy commander of the three armies, actually with only one idea in mind.
That is to let this man who is only good at talking about war on paper drag the Qin army into the abyss step by step.
But he forgot the simplest truth.
Those who are good at talking about military affairs on paper must at least know about military affairs. At the very least, they must be proficient in military books.
"The successful killing of Ying Chengjiao this time was also thanks to the intelligence provided by Li Yuan. His words can be trusted, but not completely.
If you want to win this battle, it depends on us. Your Majesty is still waiting for news from us day and night, so this battle can only be won, not lost! "
Cao Cao punched the feng shui map in front of him.
The place where it was hit happened to be Hangu Pass.
After the decisive blow, hundreds of thousands of troops advanced towards Hangu Pass.
A war that will go down in history has officially begun.
The Chu army was unaware that Li Yuan was providing intelligence to the Qin army.
In addition, when the Qin army surrounded them, Li Yuan cut himself in order to survive.
Therefore, it did not arouse Xiang Yan's suspicion.
Just think that this matter was controlled by Cao Cao from beginning to end.
In other words, the success or failure here has nothing to do with Li Yuan.
It was a game between the two commanders, and Xiang Yan failed to defeat Cao Cao.
.......
at this time.
Hangu Pass.
Xiang Yan's health gradually improved. Not only could he get out of bed and walk, he could even ride and shoot.
Almost no different from normal people.
This is all thanks to Zhu Danxi's prescription.
Therefore, in recent days, his status in the Chu camp has risen rapidly.
Not only does he have delicious food and fish every day, but even when he feels empty, lonely and cold, Xiang Chao will find a way to satisfy him.
There's nothing he can do, after all, he saved his father's life.
But as time goes by, Xiang Yan will sooner or later fall from grace.
So, Zhu Danxi was very panicked at this moment.
Without waiting for Li Yuan to take any action.
He then went to find Xiang Chao in person.
When the latter saw that it was the other person who walked into his tent, he immediately smiled and said, "It turns out to be Doctor Zhu. I wonder if you have been getting used to living here these days?"
He vaguely remembered that the other party had said something.
That is, never do anything to kill a patient.
It's true that no one has been killed.
Use the potential effects of tonic to slowly poison Xiang Yan.
This is called poisoning, not killing.
Anyway, Old Man Zhu felt very at ease.
He felt that he had not violated his professional ethics as a doctor.
What's more, I have been practicing medicine for many years and have never killed anyone.
But when I was young, I was a poisoner, not yet a doctor, and I poisoned people to death every day.
"Thank you for your kindness, General. I am deeply grateful. However, I have been bothering you for many days, and Marshal Xiang has recovered. I am thinking of leaving Hangu Pass from today. I hope you will let me go."
Zhu Danxi bowed and said.
Hearing this, Xiang Chao frowned deeply and said unhappily, "Mr. Zhu, have you suffered any injustice in this barracks? Or has I, Xiang Chao, done anything wrong?"
Zhu Danxi quickly shook his head and said, "Everything is fine."
"Then why did you leave, sir?"
Xiang Chao really wanted to keep Zhu Danxi.
After all, with such a miracle doctor around, who knows how many soldiers in the barracks will be saved in the future.
But we can't just let him go like this.
Zhu Danxi said bluntly, "His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Qin ordered me to come to Hangu Pass to heal Marshal Xiang. Now that Marshal Xiang is no longer seriously injured, I have fulfilled His Majesty's instructions. It is time for me to return to Xianyang to report."
Xiang Chao waved his hand and said, "I believe it won't be long before our army can capture Xianyang. What difference does it make whether you leave or not?
Since there's no difference, there's no need to leave. I have to go to the Marshal's tent to discuss matters, so I won't be with you. If Mr. Zhu needs anything, just send someone to let me know."
As soon as he finished speaking, he left the tent.
Only Zhu Danxi was left sighing.
Xiang Chao came to Xiang Yan's tent.
It happened that at this time, the latter was discussing matters with the generals.
Xiang Yan said worriedly, "In the battle of Lingbao Mountain, almost all of our troops were annihilated. Afterwards, the Qin army sent us Ying Chengjiao's body. This was truly excessive."
Our army has suffered repeated defeats, and morale has plummeted. If we want to hold on to Hangu Pass before reinforcements arrive, we must find a way to win a battle first."
Xiang Chao asked, "Does the commander-in-chief have a plan in mind?"
Xiang Yan nodded and said, "There are 100,000 Qin army vanguards in the Lingbao Mountain area. If we can wipe out all of them, our army may be able to turn the tide."
"How to eat it?" Xiang Chao asked again.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the tent fell into silence.
