"Send an army of 400,000 to attack Yan State, divide the army into two routes, lead 100,000 troops by Wang Jian, attack Yan State, lead 200,000 troops led by Han Teng, stationed in Jingcheng, Mengwu sits in Handan, and responds in two ways, it seems that this time the blood of Qin is not small."

"Are you boasting about yourself? You must know that at least two-thirds of these 400,000 troops are used against your Daijun? It shows that you are more valued by your father than Yan Guo. ”

Gao Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid there is nothing to be proud of in this kind of thing." ”

Sure enough, as Han Teng expected, although Gao Yuan left a book overnight, he actually did not leave Xianyang, but slipped into the palace overnight and hid in the temple. Although the temple is also part of the palace of the Qin king, it is also the area where the Qin king's political control is the smallest, and with the cover of the red pine and Hehua, the plateau does not have to worry about its own safety at all.

Although Han Teng later realized that he had made a mistake in judgment, he had completely lost the whereabouts of the plateau, and at this time, the king of Qin Zhengjing officially issued an edict to send troops to attack Yan, Han Teng was busy with military affairs, and he had no time to look for the plateau anymore, and he didn't know that the plateau was still in Xianyang City at this time.

Although Gao Yuan hid in the Zongmiao for more than ten days in a row, he did not hide in the Zongmiao all the time, and he could still go out from time to time to contact Zhang Liang and the spy personnel of Daijun who were lurking in Xianyang City. Discuss with them to study what happened in the Qin State, and let them send their news back to Daijun first, so that Daijun can begin to reorganize and collect troops to prepare for the attack of the Qin army. Of course, Gao Yuan also changed his makeup, and his previous appearance of Xia Wuhe was completely changed, if it wasn't for someone who was familiar with him, it would be impossible to recognize it.

On this day, Hehua came to tell the plateau that the king of Qin had already determined the number of troops to be sent, the plan of the march and the general of the army, and discussed with the plateau with Chi Song. At this time, Guiguzi had already taken a step in advance, left Xianyang, and returned to Daijun, because although there were spy personnel who could send the news back, but the spy personnel did not know much of the inside story, so it was still Guiguzi who went back to Daijun, and it was easier to say something if he had something to say, in addition, after Feng Boyushi appeared, Gao Yuan was also a little worried, the strength of these two people was too strong, if Han Teng sent them to Dai County, relying only on Zhao Xuan and Jiang Huanwu, I am afraid it would be difficult to protect the safety of others, and with Guiguzi sitting in Dai County, Gao Yuan can also rest assured.

After listening to Hehua's introduction, Chi Songxiao said: "I don't know much about the military situation, and now the Qin army stationed on the front line of Jingcheng has reached 200,000, I don't know if your Daijun can withstand the Qin army." ”

Gao Yuan smiled, as soon as he heard this, he understood that Chi Songxiao was really not very good at military affairs, if it was changed to Guigu Xiao, the situation would be different, he must be able to see that although the Qin army had more troops on the Jingcheng line, the actual purpose was not to attack Daijun, but to contain Daijun's strength, so that the other Qin army could calmly attack Yan, which also shows that Qin does not plan to start a full-scale war with Daijun now, although Daijun's strength is not strong, But it's not a bone to gnaw on.

Therefore, Gao Yuan said: "Don't worry, I see that although the Qin State is huge, it may not dare to launch an attack on Dai County, although Dai County is not a large place and the population is not large, but if all of them are mobilized, they can also collect three or four hundred thousand troops, just in terms of military strength, it is not worse than the Qin army; And after several years of development, now Daijun has accumulated a considerable amount of grain and grass materials, at least enough to supply 300,000 troops for two years of war, and now Qin is the time when the national strength is weak, in order to cope with this dispatch of troops, the king of Qin has begun to raise taxes in the country, which also shows that the current national strength of Qin has been difficult to support a long war, and our logistics supply line is easier than the Qin army, even if it is a long-term competition, we can afford to consume it than Qin, so in my opinion, The main purpose of the Qin State this time was to fight a quick battle, to destroy the Yan State and end the war, rather than to fight head-on with Daijun, and even to destroy Daijun, which can be seen from the fact that the Qin army was only deployed on the front line of Jingcheng. If the Qin army really wants to attack Daijun, then it should be stationed in Quyang and Danqiu, and the Qin army garrison in Jingcheng obviously just wants to contain Daijun and destroy the Yan Kingdom calmly. ”

After a pause, Gao Yuan said: "And when I left Daijun, I had already made some arrangements, so I still have a considerable degree of certainty in this battle, I can defeat the Qin army, and occupy the land of Yan State, if the situation is good, I may be able to seize part of the Zhao land, and after this defeat, how will Qin State be honest for a few years, I can also have enough time to stabilize the territory I occupy, accumulate strength, and obtain the ability to confront Qin State." ”

Chi Songxiao nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, it's me who is too worried, I have long heard from my senior brother that your ability to use troops is not under Li Mu, it seems that you have indeed considered these situations for a long time." ”

Gao Yuan said: "Now I'm just worried about one thing, that is, although the national strength of the Qin State is weakened, but after all, it is a superpower, with a population of no less than 20 million, and the population of Daijun is only 2 million, the difference is too far, if the Qin army is defeated on the battlefield, it will be difficult for Qin Wangzheng to explain in the country, maybe he will make a desperate bet and attack Daijun regardless of the strength of the whole country, so that Daijun is difficult to be the opponent of Qin." ”

Chi Songxiao smiled and said: "You can rest assured at this point, I still have some influence on the King of Qin, as long as you can achieve a certain advantage on the battlefield, so that the Qin State has no chance of winning without increasing troops, I can exert influence on the King of Qin, let the King of Qin order the withdrawal of the army, and return to the Qin State, it should be done." ”

Gao Yuan also nodded, because Qin Wangzheng once believed in the theory of ghosts and gods, and Chi Songzi was Qin Wangzheng's most trusted magic stick, of course, Qin Wangzheng did not blindly believe in the god stick, if it was before the army, even if the result of the red pine nut divination was unfavorable, Qin Wangzheng might not stop the army, but if the Qin army was defeated on the battlefield, and at this time, Chi Songzi would be able to play a role in divination, and it was indeed very likely to stop Qin Wangzheng from continuing to increase his troops and fight again.

So Gao Yuan said: "Okay, it's just that now I should rush back to Daijun to arrange it, it's the most important thing, I don't know how you are prepared." ”

At this time, He Hua frowned and said: "What you just said does sound very reasonable, and I don't know much about military affairs, and I can't say anything wrong, but this time, Han Teng took the initiative to ask for an order and asked to be the chief general stationed in Jingcheng. And the truth you just said, Han Teng may not be unaware, but he still took the initiative to ask for war, it is definitely not unreasonable, you must know that the Qin State attaches great importance to military merits, once this battle fails, it will greatly affect Han Teng's status in the Qin State, so Han Teng will not take the initiative to ask for war, and he will not be without a certain degree of certainty. Although the national strength of the Qin State is not strong now, how much power is still hidden in Han Teng's hands, the remnants of Chi You have been lurking for thousands of years, even if it is counted from the Shang and Zhou dynasties, there are seven or eight hundred years, and we don't know how much power has been accumulated, so you must not be careless. ”

After Gao Yuan listened, he couldn't help but think of the Nanyang Army led by Han Teng at the beginning, although the Nanyang Army had been wiped out in the Battle of Wei, but who can guarantee whether Chi You's widow will help Han Teng train a new Nanyang Army, or whether there are other forces, it is also uncertain, maybe there will be any other powerful army, I am indeed a little careless, fortunately it was He Hua who reminded him, otherwise if he didn't make some preparations, Maybe he will really be caught off guard by Han Teng.

Therefore, Gao Yuan nodded and said, "Don't worry, I won't be careless, it's just how the matter of my return to Daijun is arranged." ”

Originally, Gao Yuan planned to hide in the Zongmiao for a few days, and after Han Teng's goal of blocking and chasing him failed, he left Xianyang alone and returned to Daijun, with his own stealth ability, there would not be much of a problem. But Chi Songxiao and He Hua insisted on not letting Gao Yuan leave Xianyang alone, because no one dared to guarantee that Han Teng completely gave up tracking the Gao Yuan, and Han Teng was one of the main generals of the Qin army, on the way to send troops, he could arrange enough manpower to pay attention to the strict investigation on the way, and prevent Gao Yuan from returning to Dai County, if Gao Yuan returned to Dai County alone at this time, he would still take a big risk. Therefore, Hehua decided to make certain arrangements for the plateau, so that the plateau can return to Daijun safely, although it will be a little later, but the safety of the plateau can be guaranteed. And after Dai Jun listened to Gao Yuan's words, He Hua smiled and said, "Don't worry, do you think I'm just idle and haven't done anything in the past few days?" I'm running your business every day, I have arranged it yesterday, you prepare, you will leave the palace tomorrow, at most three days, you can leave Xianyang, and you will never be discovered by others. Don't worry about the matter here, I will try my best to help you find out the movements of the Qin army, and as soon as there is news, I will inform you immediately. ”

Gao Yuan said: "Now Han Teng's side has also known the secret of Jiuding, the last time they didn't succeed, I think they will never stop, they will definitely find other ways to snatch Jiuding, Han Teng's five god generals, there is a person who is good at digging tunnels, and it is very likely to use the method of underground raids." When he attacked Li Mu at the beginning, he used this trick, you have to be careful. ”

Chi Songxiao smiled and said: "You can rest assured about this, last time it was because we had transferred the guards of the Zongmiao that Master Feng Boyu could calmly sneak into the Zongmiao, and I would ask the King of Qin to strengthen the defense of the Zongmiao, and all the palaces have facilities to listen to underground movements, so it is not so easy to figure out the Guò underground raid." ”

Gao Yuan listened to it, and he was also relieved, and said, "That's good." ”
