Sang Zaichi pondered for a while before he nodded and said, "The battle on Xianyang's side is indeed more important than ours, so do you think Xianyang's side will win?" ”

Sang Qingti shook his head and said, "I don't know, Han Teng and Gao Yuan are higher or lower, and it is not for my intelligence to judge, so I really can't guess the outcome of this battle. However, the result of this battle is nothing more than two results, either Han Teng wins or Gao Yuan wins, or two defeats and fear of injury, as long as we do a good job of two countermeasures. ”

Sang Zaichi was also quite curious, and asked again: "Are those two countermeasures?" ”

Sang Qingti said: "If the battle in Xianyang is won by Han Teng, then we have no choice, because at that time the Jiuli clan will be unstoppable, and it will inevitably reappear in the world, and what is the matter of breaking away from the Jiuli clan, there is no need to mention it again, our Sang clan can only fully support Han Teng, and fight for Han Teng at any cost, only in this way can our Sang clan occupy a place in the new dynasty in the future, the loss may be great, but it can become the founding father of the new dynasty, when it comes to meritorious deeds, At least you can be a marquis and have your own fiefdom, and there may not be great development in the future. And if Han Teng is defeated, then both Han Teng and the Jiuli clan will inevitably fall sharply, and they will no longer be able to restrain the other clans, while our Sang clan can take the opportunity to develop their own strength, and finally break away from the Jiuli clan and become an independent family, although they will no longer be powerful, but they can preserve the vitality of the Sang clan, and with the existing strength of our Sang clan, it is not difficult to develop and grow, and after the world is calmed, it may not be without a future. These are our two countermeasures, and there may be some variables, but in general, it should be eight or nine without ten, and it is better to lose both, so what we need to do now is to wait patiently for the results of the battle in Xianyang. And before that, don't disobey any orders of the Jiuli clan and fight with all your might, even if you bury all these fifteen thousand people, you won't hesitate to do it. But when we transfer troops from the clan again, the battle on the Xianyang side has already been divided. ”

After listening to Sang Qingti's speech, Sang Zaichi also breathed a sigh of relief, and it was only then that he had a comprehensive understanding of the overall situation, and he had to admit that Sang Qingti's judgment on the development of the overall situation was indeed very clear, far beyond his own intelligence, so he couldn't help but sincerely admire: "Qingti, your intelligence is indeed ten times stronger than mine." ”

Sang Qingti said lightly: "So what, I'm just a woman, destined to not be the patriarch, and after this time the matter is over, I will leave the family and no longer take care of things, so you don't have to worry about me, it's you, if your own ability is not enough to be the patriarch, even if your father passes on the position of patriarch to you in the future, you will not be able to sit steadily." ”

When Sang Zaichi heard this, his mood was quite complicated, and he didn't know what to say, so neither of them spoke for a while.

After a long while, Sang Qingti said: "There is no need to say these things again, in short, at this time, we must not stop, but also to participate in the battle with all our might, no matter how big the casualties are, you go to sue Sù Kong Ning and Lian Cheng, this is my order, it is up to them to listen to them or not, but the consequences are at your own risk." ”

Sang Zaichi nodded, and was about to get up to leave, when he saw the tent picked, and a soldier came in and said, "Miss, there is a military intelligence here." As he spoke, he handed a bamboo slip to Sang Qingti.

After reading the bamboo slips, Sang Qingti smiled slightly and said, "Forget it, you don't have to give Kong Ning and Lian Cheng an order, it seems that we can easily take a few days, and someone has taken our responsibility." ”

Sang Zaichi's eyes lit up and said, "It's the Kua Father clan who is here." ”

Sang Qingti said: "Yes, five thousand people came. ”

"Five thousand." Sang Zaichi was also taken aback, you must know that the Kuafu clan is the least populous group in the Jiuli clan, and all the young and middle-aged men are less than 20,000 people, and this time the children have brought in 5,000 people. Therefore, Sang Zaichi said: "Could it be that the Kua Father clan also intends to sacrifice this group of people to preserve their strength? ”

Sang Qingti said: "Just look at the Kua Father Clan's battle, you will know their plans." ”

Although the Kuafu clan has always been a maverick in the Jiuli clan, and they love to listen to the orders of Han Teng, Fengbo, and Yushi, but this time it is related to the rise and fall of the Jiuli clan, and the strength of the whole clan must be mobilized, so Han Teng, Fengbo, and Yushi also issued an ultimatum to the Kuafu clan, if the Kuafu clan does not go to war again, it should be punished as a traitor.

Under such strong pressure, the Kuafu clan finally chose to compromise, after all, although the strength of the Kuafu clan is strong, but the population is too small, it really does not have the strength to resist Han Teng, Feng Bo, and Yu Shi, and the last time Chi You showed a miracle, it also brought a lot of shock to the Kua Father clan, so after discussing it for a long time, the clan finally decided to respond to Han Teng, Feng Bo, and Yu Shi's call to send troops to the war.

This time, the leader of the battle was Fang Lie, the younger brother of the patriarch of the Kuafu clan, who brought a total of 5,000 Kuafu clan warriors, all of whom were young and middle-aged men and women in the clan.

In fact, from the beginning of the war to the present, Lu Xiuhong breathed a sigh of relief, because only after the Sang, Tuyong, and Jiang Li clans participated in the war, the war situation began to develop in the direction favorable to the Qin, Qi, and Chu three kingdom alliances, first of all, the out-of-town positions in the west of Handan City were cleared, and most of the out-of-town positions in the north and south of Handan City were disabled, and they could immediately start attacking Handan City.

It's just that the armies of Sang, Tu Yong, and Jiang Li also suffered more than half of the casualties, and Lu Xiuhong's heart that he had just put down was a little hanging. First, they were worried that the three clans would refuse to fight again because of too many casualties; Second, they are worried that even if the three clans agree to continue the battle, due to the great losses, it will be difficult to defend the effect of the previous battle in the next siege battle.

Originally, Lu Xiuhong also wanted to discuss with Wang Ben whether to slow down the attack on Handan City, so that the armies of the Sang, Tu Yong, and Jiang Li clans could recover, at least some wounded soldiers could return to the team after their injuries, and there were many people. And the Kuafu clan came to Handan at this time, which also made Lu Xiuhong breathe a sigh of relief, and finally there was an army to stand up. Therefore, Lu Xiuhong immediately came to Wang Ben and told Wang Ben about the arrival of the Kuafu army.

Seeing the army of the Kuafu clan, Wang Ben couldn't help but be overjoyed, the army of the Sang, Tu Yong, and Jiang Li clans had already brought a lot of surprises to Wang Ben, but he didn't expect that there would be a bigger surprise later, just look at the soldiers of the Kuafu clan are all big men who are more than nine feet tall, even the women are much taller than the average man, so you don't need to go to the battlefield to know that the combat effectiveness of such an army will never be worse than the army of the three clans, and even much stronger.

Although Wang Ben didn't know where Lu Xiuhong found such an army, it obviously wouldn't be the Qi State, if the Qi State really had such an army, how could it not fight for forty years? But now Wang Ben only felt confident, so he immediately began to formulate a plan to attack Handan City.

At first, Wang Ben planned to launch an attack on Handan City immediately, although the outside positions in the north and south of Handan City were not all cleared at this time, although the threat to the Three Kingdoms Alliance was greatly reduced, but it was still quite useful to contain Zuò, and the outside positions in the west of Handan City were still intact, in fact, it was not the best time to launch an attack on Handan City.

But Wang Ben was also forced to be helpless, because the losses of the armies of the Sang, Tu Yong, and Jiang Li clans were too great, and if they continued to remove the positions outside the city, they would only make the armies of the three clans suffer greater losses, and when they attacked Handan City, I am afraid that there would be no one available, so although it was not the best time to attack Handan City, Wang Ben could not take care of it. And when the Kuafu army arrived, Wang Ben immediately changed his mind, after all, there are more troops now, and he decided to first clear the positions outside Handan City, completely remove the threat outside the city, and then officially attack Handan City.

So on the second day, Wang Ben continued to attack the positions outside the city north and south of Handan City with the army of the Kuafu clan as the core. As a result, the combat effectiveness of the Kuafu warriors was really amazing, the Kuafu clan only dispatched 4,000 soldiers, 2,000 in the north and south, and it was in the case of the Han and Qin coalition forces that had been prepared, but they still achieved heavy results, breaking through four military villages in the south city, and destroying three military villages in the north city, and the soldiers of the Kuafu tribe also killed nearly 400 people. After the battle, the Han and Qin coalition forces withdrew from their positions outside the city in the north and south overnight and retreated to the city of Handan.

Later, Wang Ben led the Three Kingdoms Alliance Army to attack the out-of-town positions in the east of Handan City, and after three days of fierce fighting, the Han-Qin allied forces finally abandoned the out-of-town positions in the East City and retreated into the city.

Wang Ben ordered the whole army to repair for three days, and then began to officially attack Handan City.

The battle went so smoothly that Sang Zaichi was also a little breathless, and hurriedly came to Sang Qingxi, saying: "If the results of the victory and defeat on the Xianyang side have not come out, and our side has already captured Handan City, then what should we do?" ”

Sang Qingti smiled and said, "Don't worry, there won't be such a result, it's still too early to capture Handan City?" ”

Sang Zaichi said: "From the beginning of the battle of the army of our three clans to the arrival of the Kuafu clan, it has only been a few days, and we have cleared all the positions on the periphery of Handan City. ”

Sang Qingti said lightly: "You underestimate Handan City too much, not to mention that the walls of Handan City and the positions outside the city are not the same; It is only necessary to fill in the trenches, tunnels, military villages, and moats dug outside the city, so that the tower carts can attack the outside of the city, and it will take at least ten days and eight days; And this battle has been fought so far, the Han and Qin coalition forces don't seem to have used all their strength, I don't know the Qin army, but I heard that the Han army has three trump cards, the back army, the heavy armored cavalry army, and the beast army, but I haven't seen any of them now, so if you want to capture Handan City, I'm afraid it's not so easy. ”
