The capital of Wei State is Anyi, and the residence of the general.

In an open space in the backyard, brothers Pang Juan and Sun Boling stood facing each other.

When their eyes met, the long swords in their hands were emitting a cold glow under the sunlight.

A long time passed, and neither of them had the intention to initiate an attack. Instead, they just stood there silently in a silent confrontation.

Suddenly, a gust of breeze blew up, blowing up the robes of the two brothers, and breaking the balance between them.

A fighting spirit burst out from his eyes, and his right hand holding the sword suddenly exerted force. As a senior brother, Pang Juan chose to strike first.

"kill……"

The cry of killing exploded in his ears like a thunder, and the long sword emitting light was about to strike at the next moment.

At this time, there was no fear in Sun Boling's eyes, but on the contrary, he showed a calm composure.

After pressing the long sword held in his right hand for a few moments, Sun Boling exerted force on his feet, and his whole body directly faced the long sword thrust out by Pang Juan.

"clang……"

The next moment, the sound of metal clashing as the two swords collided sounded in their ears.

Feeling the numbness that passed from the sword blade to the hilt and then to the arm, their eyes converged on one place again.

A smile appeared at the corner of the two people's mouths at the same time, and everything in front of them made them seem to have returned to their school days in Yunmeng Mountain.

"Come again!"

"good!"

Between the sound and the answer, as the swords in their hands separated, the two of them retreated towards the rear.

When they stabilized their bodies again, almost in an instant, the two men's retreat immediately turned into an attack.

"clang!"

"clang!"

"clang!"

…

In the next period of time, the long swords in the hands of Pang Juan and Sun Boling collided countless times, and the sound of metal clanking sounded over and over again.

Perhaps because of their relationship as senior brothers, both Pang Juan and Sun Boling knew the other's swordsmanship too well, including both the other's strengths and weaknesses.

It is precisely based on this understanding that the swordsmanship of the two is often resolved by the other, which leads to the anxiety of the situation at this moment.

And if we look at the swordsmanship styles of both sides, senior brother Pang Juan is in the army, so his swordsmanship absorbs more of the techniques of formation battle, and he pays attention to the wide opening and closing;

As for Sun Boling, who has been in the court these years, his swordsmanship is less straightforward than in the army, and more changeable.

There is no distinction between the two swordsmanships used by the brothers. It is just that the styles of the two are different due to their different situations.

"clang……"

He didn't know how many times the collision sounded, but this time Sun Boling only felt a huge force being transmitted to his arms.

Although as a master of swordsmanship, he quickly stabilized his posture, this was tantamount to giving the opposite Pang Juan an opportunity.

With a flash of light in his eyes, Pang Juan used his strength with both feet, and stabbed Sun Boling with the sword in his hand without any hesitation.

This battle between the brothers seems to be about to decide the winner.

But Pang Juan, who was already confident of winning, showed a bit of surprise on his face the next moment.

Before the long sword in his hand could hit Sun Boling's vital part, the opponent's killing move had already arrived in front of him.

Looking at the sword edge so close at hand, and then at Sun Boling who still looked calm and calm across from him, the astonishment on Pang Juan's face quickly turned into a smile.

"Berling, this time, I lost."

"Senior brother, I accept it."

After a sword fight, the two brothers looked at each other and smiled, then put away their swords and returned to the study.

After sitting firmly on his seat, Sun Boling looked at Pang Juan opposite with a smile.

"In this way, I can repay you with peace of mind. The sword on my senior brother's waist is still sharp and can still make contributions to the battlefield of Wei Kingdom."

"Bo Ling, to tell you the truth..."

Looking at Sun Boling across from him, Pang Juan felt infinite emotion in his heart when he thought of everything he had spent in Hexi over the years.

"Over the years, there has never been a day when I was not prepared in Hexi, and there was never a day when I dared to slack off."

"I know that your Majesty has always regarded the State of Qin as a serious concern, and I, the State of Wei, will definitely send troops to the State of Qin one day."

"At that time, the soldiers under my command, Pang Juan, will become the sharpest arrows in the Wei Kingdom."

"Wherever your Majesty points, we will shoot."

Facing Pang Juan's words, the expression on Sun Boling's face gradually darkened.

As the Sima in charge of the military affairs of the Wei State, he has also been paying attention to the movements of the Hexi army and the Qin State all the time in these years.

As Pang Juan, who once commanded the elite soldiers of the Wei Dynasty, he naturally mastered some of the essence of military training that others could not access.

After arriving in Hexi and becoming the commander-in-chief of all Wei's armies west of the river, Pang Juan used everything he had on the Hexi army.

It is no exaggeration to say that the original Hexi Army of Wei State has become more elite in the hands of Pang Juan over the years.

Sun Boling just listened to Pang Juan's words silently, and then slowly uttered a sentence.

"I know, I know everything."

"No, there are some you don't know."

Pang Juan's denial immediately attracted Sun Boling's eyes, and at the same time, a trace of astonishment flashed across his face.

It seemed that he was very satisfied with Sun Boling's expression at this moment, but a bright smile appeared on the corner of Pang Juan's mouth.

"Do you think I, Pang Juan, only did military training in Hexi?"

"Come and see."

After saying something quite contentedly, Pang Juan called Sun Boling to a map in the study.

It was only then that Sun Boling discovered that the map depicting the mountains and rivers in the west of Wei in Pang Juan's study seemed to be a little different from the others.

In addition to the clearer locations of some rivers and mountains, a special road was also drawn with cinnabar on the map.

This road started from Hexi in Wei State and went all the way north, passing through the large grassland that originally belonged to Yiqu, and finally turned south in the territory of the original Wushi State.

Following the route drawn by this road to the end, the name of a city appeared in Sun Boling's eyes.

Uzbekistan.

Seeing this, Sun Boling suddenly realized something, and his eyes immediately turned to Pang Juan beside him, "Brother, this is the old way of serving the public."

"It is the old road of Xiangong. The first king of Qin State, Xiangong, followed this road across the entire Yiqu, and went south along Longshan Mountain to Yongcheng, the old capital of Qin State."

This is the second thing Pang Juan did in Hexi, to find out the way to attack Qin from the land of Yiqu.

Fortunately, someone had walked this road before, and this person was Qin Xiangong, Ying Shixi.

Thirty years ago, that is, in 386 BC, Qin Xiangong Ying Shixi saw the turmoil in the domestic situation of Qin, so he prepared to return to the country to regain his original position as King of Qin.

The young lady who was in power in the Qin State at that time, facing Duke Xiang of Qin who had returned from the Wei State, immediately transferred the army to Hexi in an attempt to prevent the opponent from advancing.

Seeing that he could not return to Qin from Hexi, Qin Xiangong decisively changed his direction and headed north, crossing the entire grassland at the risk of being discovered by the Yiqu people.

Qin Xiangong and his party were finally able to enter the Qin State at Yanshi Fortress and successfully arrived at Yongcheng, the former capital of the Qin State.

It can be said that for Qin Xiangong's lineage, this road is the road to victory for them to regain the throne of Qin Jun.

And thirty years later, what role will this road play in the hands of Wei Jun?
