Chapter 348 Before Hangu Pass

In the spring of the 14th year of the Tang Dynasty, Le Yi led 100,000 cavalry to set out from Hetao and rushed to the northern border of Qin, where a plain was suitable for the cavalry to gallop.

Zhao She led 100,000 Tang Dynasty infantrymen to attack the Hangu of Qin, where there would be blood and fire.

Lian Po, with the 100,000 former Zhao army who had a deep hatred with Qin, and the current Tang army, rushed to Bai Qi from Shangdang to complete his destiny battle and end the regrets of his history.

Zhao Xing is a person who can't stay idle. He did not sit in Tangcheng and handed over the governance of the court to the cabinet, so that Xu Jie and Yin Qi and Qin Mo would worry about it. Anyway, if his smart and capable wife looked at them, there would be no trouble.

He sat in his luxurious four-wheeled carriage, running leisurely on the three battlefields, fulfilling his duties as a military advisor.

He was not worried about Le Yi's direction, because Le Yi was the god of war, and because he participated in the battle against Yan State Fujun, Zhao's Zhongshan Battle, and Hangu Pass that year, he had rich experience in war training, and his command art against cavalry had reached the level of perfection, so his attack pace is the smoothest, and he was leaning against his own Tang Empire, so there was nothing to worry about.

Lian Po faced the war god Bai Qi along the way, which was actually the most worrying thing. At the same time, Lian Po was still young and did not have enough practical experience, so this was what Zhao Xing was most worried about. For this reason, Zhao Xing decided to take his little brothers side by side.

However, while the brothers were standing side by side, Zhao Xing decided to go to Hangu Pass first, because as long as the gap was opened there, it would be able to fight against Le Yi from north to south, and his two armies directly penetrated into the heart of Qin. Not only did the north and south support each other, but the Qin people were attacked from both sides, but it could also shake the foundation of Qin and make Bai Qi in the rising area worry. In this way, Lian Po would become easier here.

So when he broke up with Lian Po, Zhao Xing repeatedly reminded him, the young brother who was eager to try: "Now your task is to defend. First, we should raise our energy and second, we should consume Bai Qi's food and grass. As long as you keep your son and don't lose it when I come back, you will be remembered as the first meritorious person."

Facing his brother's mother-in-law and mother, Lian Po repeatedly promised to defend himself. Even if Bai Qi lay in front of my army and slept, I would never leave the city.

Faced with his brother who was still talking and giving advice, Lian Po had to swear blood.

After receiving Lian Po's sincere guarantee, Zhao Xing then ordered Lin Xiangru, who was following him with pride: "Thank you for a hard work, sir, please bring a generous gift and go to various vassal states."

Lin Xiangru asked puzzledly: "The mission I had originally done was successfully completed. The annexation war between the princes had been in full swing, and the battle was very chaotic, and the battle had reached the point where the enemy and us were inseparable. Our goal had been achieved. When the three routes attacked, the front line was short of people. Although the subordinates did not know much about military affairs, they were still competent to help the commanders along the way out for advice. For example, General Lian Po, I think I could be his army and help him manage the logistics."

The meaning of Lin Xiangru's words was already very obvious, that is, the king has always been worried about his young brother, so it is still very necessary to have his own help.

Zhao Xing smiled and said, "I know what sir means. You are so self-recommendation like this. By the way, there is no self-recommendation yet. Recommending yourself like this is a sign of courage to take responsibility, which I am very pleased." Then the topic changed: "Don't worry, I believe that my brother will do a very good job, and there should be no problems here. So you have to shoulder another important task now, which is very important."

When Lin Xiangru heard this, he quickly bowed and bowed solemnly: "I firmly fulfill the important tasks assigned by the emperor. If there is any mistake, if I use a cap to guarantee it."

Zhao Xing shook his hand with a smile: "It's not that serious. I just let you use the fastest time to meet the important officials of the various princes. Please go to Hangu Pass to see how I attack Hangu Pass. If you can invite their king to the front of the pass, it will be the best. Inviting all these people in a month or a month is your major task."

Lin Xiangru immediately understood Zhao Xing's purpose. He did not invite these people to watch the show in front of Hangu Pass, but to show them the Tang Dynasty's means of attacking the Xiong Pass in front of them, to shock them, and then prepare them spiritually for the future war of unification.

"Your Majesty, Hangu Pass is the most powerful pass in the world. Thinking back then, the five-nation coalition forces were all defeated before this pass. Although our Tang Dynasty was strong, it would not easily succeed in facing such a powerful pass. If we were also defeated in front of this pass, it would not only not have the effect that the king wanted to achieve, but would also greatly lose our face. Losing face is small, and letting people in the world laugh at us and strengthening their will to resist is great."

Zhao Xing smiled indifferently: "You don't know that I never do things that I am unsure of. Just do things as I told you. Remember, within a month, I must invite important figures from all the vassal states to watch the battle, and no one can be left behind."

Seeing that his emperor was so sure, Lin Xiangru couldn't say anything else, so he immediately rode a fast horse and ran among the princes at night to invite the spectators.

After seeing off Lin Xiangru and receiving 500 trucks of supplies transported from the Tang Dynasty, Zhao Xingcai took his Junqiushi to cross the iron chain bridge of the Yellow River, passed the four passes and arrived in front of Hangu Pass.

When Zhao She heard his brother Tang Hou coming, he quickly greeted him. After meeting him, he welcomed Zhao Xing into the pass.

When Zhao Xing asked about the battle, Zhao She looked bitter: "Your Majesty, this Hangu Pass is indeed the most powerful pass in the world. I have been attacking for 3 days and paid a heavy price, but there is no progress. According to the current progress, it is estimated that it will take half a year to win this pass, and 100,000 lives will be needed."

Seeing Zhao Xing silently, Zhao She made a suggestion: "Let me retreat to our north, and give him a flowering inside through the passage opened by the Le Yi brothers. That would be much easier. Why do you need to waste our soldiers' lives and this precious time here?"

Zhao Xing smiled and said, "It's just the beginning. The guy who yelled out a narrow road to win and the brave man started to complain. This is not your personality. You should feel ashamed of your performance." Then he looked at the ashamed brother: "No, don't be ashamed, just be ashamed. There is no need to be ashamed and you have to draw your sword and commit suicide. Oh, let me tell you my original intention."

Zhao She asked puzzledly: "Is there any other means in the group?"
