On the outskirts of Daliang City, the army is in Dazhai.

After the plateau left the Hezong army, the military and political affairs of the Hezong army were presided over by Tian Kezang, and at this time it had been more than 20 days, and now the total number of Qin troops gathered in Daliang City was close to 400,000, and two villages were stationed outside the city, and the total strength had actually exceeded that of the Hezong army.

And after the plateau left, Tian Kezhang also led the joint column army to launch a second attack on Daliang City, but these two times they still only used lightning strike vehicles to project stones to Daliang City, but did not send soldiers to launch siege operations to Daliang City, and Wang Ben made an arrangement in Daliang City, which also played a big role, although the Qin army was still unable to launch a counterattack on the joint column army, but the losses suffered were much smaller than the first time, which also made the shock of the lightning strike car to the Qin army greatly reduced, at least not to the first time when the lightning strike car was encountered, Many Qin soldiers had the feeling that Daliang City could not be defended.

Wang Ben is also proficient in the art of war, good at using soldiers, from the two attacks of the joint column, but also found some wrong momentum, one is that he seems to overestimate the power of the lightning strike car, the other is that the appearance of the joint column army is abnormal, two times in a row, only use the lightning truck to throw stones at the city of Liang, but did not attack the beam, this is not a big style of using troops on the plateau.

However, suspicion is suspicion, but Wang Ben still did not dare to go out of the city to challenge the Hezhong army, because now there are only more than 250,000 defenders in Daliang City, although it is enough to defend Daliang City, but if he suffers another loss, I am afraid it will not be enough, and he still has a deep fear of the plateau, and he does not dare to take risks lightly.

And then other reinforcements of the Qin army also arrived in Daliang one after another, and Tian Kezhang also followed the instructions of the plateau, once the Qin army had reinforcements arrived, they would not attack Daliang again, but retreated to Dazhai and waited for the news of the Handan battlefield. Because Wang Ben is a famous general in this era, he will never stick to the city, and after the strength of the Qin army is enhanced, he will definitely attack appropriately, so it will be dangerous for the joint column army to attack Daliang again.

The Hezong army did not attack Daliang again, and Wang Ben also did not dare to fight lightly, after all, the strength of the Qin army was still not as good as the Hezong army, and he was not sure what kind of tricks the plateau had.

The two sides held on to each other for seven or eight days, and several more Qin armies arrived in Daliang one after another, making the total number of troops of the Qin army reach about 350,000, and the Hezong army still had no movement, and until this time, no Han and Chu armies had arrived, so Wang Ben's doubts in his heart were getting heavier and heavier, and now the Qin army was strong, so Wang Ben finally led the army to attack and challenge the Hezong army.

Seeing the Qin army out of the city to challenge, Tian Kezang also followed the instructions of the plateau, led the joint column army out of the village to meet the battle, although the plateau was not in the joint column army, but there were still more than 30,000 Han troops, and the 70,000 Chu troops who had just arrived in Daliang were originally full of breath, and wanted to fight with the Qin army, after learning about the battle between the Han and Qi armies in the previous stage, they wanted to show the combat effectiveness of the Chu army, even if it was not as good as the Han army, but it could not be worse than the Qi army.

So the two sides fought a big battle, each with casualties, and the result was another evenly matched, and seeing that the combat effectiveness of the combined column army had not changed, Wang Ben was a little puzzled about what happened to the joint column army. Then Wang Ben led the army to attack twice, and Tian Kezhang also led the army to meet the battle, but no one took anything to make it easy. However, the battle situation in Daliang City also changed, and the Qin army gradually got rid of the passive situation and took the initiative to attack the joint column army, while the combined column army gave up the initiative and turned to defense.

This also made Wang Ben puzzled, what happened inside the Hezong army, the combat effectiveness was still there, and there were sharp weapons such as lightning strike vehicles, but the Han and Chu countries did not increase their troops, so the advantages built in the previous stage were completely buried, and the difficulty was that there were accidents in these two countries, so they could not send follow-up troops in time, if this was really the case, it would be too beneficial to the Qin State.

Although he thought so, Wang Ben didn't dare to be careless at all, after all, these were his own speculations, and they had not been confirmed, anyway, now that Daliang City was as stable as Mount Tai, there was no need for him to take risks, so let's wait for the details to come.

Wang Ben was confused by the abnormal appearance of the Hezong army, and he was in a fog, but Tian Kezang's mood was very good, because these battles were commanded by Tian Kezang alone, and they all fought well, in the absence of the plateau, it was indeed very good to be able to fight like this, whether it was Tian Kezang or the Qi army's expression. Tian Kezang also thought that after the end of this joint expedition against Qin, the Qi army would definitely have a reborn change, regain the military might of the Qi State back then, and he would be able to squeeze into the ranks of the famous generals of the contemporary era.

In addition, Tian Kezhang had just received a message from Asuka on the plateau, knowing that the Han army had captured the two strongholds of Juluze and Mafushan on the periphery of Handan, and approached Handan City, and at this time the defenders of Handan were less than 70,000, so Tian Kezhang also thought that the capture of Handan was just around the corner. As long as the Han army captures Handan, then the success of this joint expedition against Qin will become a foregone conclusion, but the results are big and small.

When the plateau left Daliang, he said to Tian Kezhang that the Han army captured Handan, less in February, more in March, but now there is no time, and the Han army has reached the edge of Handan, so it seems that there are more than two months, and one and a half months is almost enough.

Therefore, Tian Kezang's mood was naturally very good, and he even began to think about how far he could fight the Qin State this time, and it was best to drive the Qin army back to the west of Hangu Pass and take back the land of the Three Jins, so how to divide the land of the Three Jin Dynasty in Han, Qi and Chu still needs to be seriously considered. And from the standpoint of the Qi State, it is best to be able to incorporate the Great Liang into the territory of the Qi State, but will the plateau agree to such a distribution.

Just when Tian Kezhang was thinking about it, he saw the tent picked, Zhong Xuanyu walked in from outside the tent, gave Tian Kezhang a salute, and said, "An Pingjun." ”

Seeing that it was Zhong Xuanzi coming in, Tian Kezhang hurriedly stood up and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhong Xuanzi is here, please take a seat, please take a seat." Although Zhong Xuanzi defected to Tian Kezang for a short time, he made a lot of contributions to Tian Kezang's advice, and urged Tian Kezhang to join the joint expedition and conquer the Qin State. It can be said that these battles of the Hezong Army fought well under the command of Tian Kezang, and Zhong Xuanzi also made great contributions, and several times it was Zhong Xuanzi who spoke to Tian Kezang at the time of Guan Jian during the war, so that the Hezong Army stabilized the battle situation, so Tian Kezang's reliance on Zhong Xuanzi was also increasing, and he naturally respected Zhong Xuanzi more.

After entering the account, Zhong Xuanzi did not sit down, but said with a smile: "An Pingjun, I want to recommend a wizard for An Pingjun today." ”

Tian Kezang listened, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, now there is a lack of talent around him, since he is a person recommended by Zhong Xuanxiao, he naturally will not be sent there, so he immediately said: "What kind of wizard does Mr. want to recommend for me, I don't know how his talent compares to Mr.?" ”

Zhong Xuanzi said with a smile: "Recommended by An Pingjun below, it is naturally a big material, this person knows astronomy, geography, embroidery, and good strategy, compared to below, such as the bright moon is better than the fire; The good horse is better than the inferior horse, and it is really unattainable in the next. ”

Although Zhong Xuanzi said very exaggeratedly, Tian Kezang still heard his eyebrows fluttering, and hurriedly said: "This person is there, but do you want me to go to the ceremony in person?" ”

Zhong Xuanxiao shook his head and said, "This is so much that you don't need to work An Pingjun, I have already invited someone here, and I am outside the tent, I don't know if An Pingjun will be free to see it." ”

When Tian Kezang heard this, he couldn't help but be taken aback, and hurriedly stood up again, and said, "Sir, why didn't you say it earlier, let me snub the Magi, wouldn't it be rude, please hurry up." As he spoke, he walked out of the tent.

Zhong Xuanzi smiled slightly, and said to the outside of the tent: "Come in, don't let An Pingjun wait for a long time." ”

The voice fell, and I saw that the curtain was lifted, and a person flashed into the tent.

Originally, Tian Kezang was ready to go out of the tent to welcome people, and when he saw that the person who came had already entered the account, of course he couldn't go out again, so he hurriedly stepped forward to give a gift to the person who came, but after seeing the person who came clearly, Tian Kezhang couldn't help but be stunned, only to see the person with a high crown on his head, wearing an official uniform, with a middle-aged figure, about fifty years old, full of red light, and dignified appearance, but it was ninety percent similar to himself.

Tian Kezang never expected that the wizard recommended by Zhong Xuanzi to himself looked very similar to himself, and he was also wearing the clothes of Qi Xiangguo, so he was speechless for a while, not knowing what to say, and turned his head to look at Zhong Xuanzi, wanting to ask what was going on. But seeing Zhong Xuanzi's face as if he was smiling, mocking, and contemptuous, since Zhong Xuanzi defected to Tian Kezang, he had never seen him with such an expression.

And seeing Zhong Xuan's expression, Tian Kezang's heart couldn't help but feel uneasy, and he couldn't help but say, "Mr. Zhong Xuan, this is ...... It's ......"

Before the words fell, I saw Zhong Xuanzi's figure move slightly, and suddenly came to Tian Kezang's approach, and Tian Kezhang only felt a huge pain, coming from his chest and abdomen, looking down, he saw Zhong Xuanzi's right hand holding the hilt of the sword, and the blade was up to his chest.

Tian Kezang screamed a few times in his throat, but he couldn't say a word, only felt that his throat was sweet, a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth, and then his eyes turned black, and he no longer felt a little more.

Zhong Xuanzi pulled out the short sword from Tian Kezang's body, kicked Tian Kezang's body to the ground, and said with a smile: "Tian Kezang, you are useless to our Jiuli clan. He turned his head and said to the person who was similar to Tian Kezang: "From now on, you are An Pingjun, and you will follow the plan, and now Han Teng has probably succeeded in Xianyang, and in a few days, we should shake hands with Qin Jun and make peace."
