Chapter 515: Rejecting the Qin Army Outside Yangping Pass

In the 24th year of Qianyuan, on June [-]th, outside Yangping Pass in Hanzhong County, General Qin Wang Feng led [-] elites to arrive here. When Bing came to Yangping Pass, he discovered that the pass connecting Hanzhong and Guanzhong had already been occupied by Deng Jun.

"General, according to reports from the spies, there are about [-] Deng troops occupying Yangping Pass, and a letter written on the banner of the city is Shenwu Wei Xie. If the last general guessed correctly, the leader of Deng Jun at Yangping Pass is the former General Chen Xie Xun. Outside Yangping Pass, Qin Army General Geng Yue said to Wang Feng in the central tent of the Qin Army Camp.

"Xie Xun? If I remember correctly, he should be almost 60 years old." Hearing Xie Xun's name, Wang Feng's first reaction was Xie Xun's age.

Geng Yue nodded, and replied: "Yes, nine years ago, when Chen Guo was destroyed by Deng Wei, Xie Xun surrendered to Deng Guo. At that time, this house was over 60 years old. Now nine years have passed, Xie Xun He is almost [-] years old, and after joining Deng, he has been serving as the general of Deng Guoshenwuwei."

"The former great general of a country is now inferior to a younger generation like Murong Chui. Xie Xun is also unwilling to come here. Let's go and meet this old and strong veteran with Ben Jiang." Wang Feng thought for a while and stood up. Get up and take all the generals to Yangping Pass.

Wang Feng looked at the majestic pass that once belonged to the state of Qin in front of him, looked towards the top of the city, and shouted: "Where is Old General Xie Xun? Please see me again."

Xie Xun on the top of the wall was dozing off with his eyes closed, when he suddenly heard Wang Feng's voice, he opened his eyes instantly, stood up, came to the front, looked at Qin Jun below the wall, and replied loudly: "This old man is Xie Xun, I don't know who Want to see the old man?"

Wang Feng looked at the silver-haired Xie Xun in the city, sighed, and said: "This general, Wang Feng, has seen the old general. The old general was once a person who stirred up the world. Wang Feng really feels worthless for the old general who is above the people, and now he is reduced to be a mere general guarding the gate."

Wang Feng said something inexplicably, Xie Xun was also very confused, so he said: "So it's General Wang, I don't know what General Wang said just now?"

Wang Feng said: "I think that the old general was the great general of Chen Guo at the beginning, and how powerful he was when one person was under ten thousand people. However, Chen Guo, which was kind to the old general in the past, was destroyed by Deng Guo and Wei Guo. , but the old general committed himself to Deng Guo and served as a mere general of the Shenwuwei. It can be seen that Deng Guo's employment is unknown. Besides, Chen Guo died at the hands of Deng Guo. I would have believed that the old general also had hatred in his heart. My great Qin, my king is thirsty for talents, if he can get the help of the old general, he will treat him as a three-legged, and in the future, the old general will personally lead the army to destroy the Deng country, and avenge the hatred of the subjugated country, why not be happy?"

Now, Xie Xun finally understands that Wang Feng came to persuade him to surrender, and he even promised the position of Sangong, and also promised that he would personally lead the army to destroy Deng in the future, and avenge the country's subjugation. To be honest, if it was nine years ago I am afraid that Xie Xun will agree to Wang Feng without hesitation, but things have changed. Now that the situation in Deng Guo has been established, Qin Guo has no chance against Deng Guo. Waiting for famous generals can't bear it, so how can you treat yourself, an old man, as a third prince?

Besides, Xie Xun has been in Deng for many years. Although he is not as loyal to Deng Guo as Yue Fei and others, he is still quite affectionate. How can he see Deng Guo becoming stronger step by step, and his expectations for Deng Guo are even greater. Besides, Xie Xun is already old, and he lives a stable and happy life in Deng Guo, and his descendants will not have any worries, so why bother.

So Xie Xun laughed loudly and said, "Thank you, General Wang, for your kindness. The old man was very happy at Deng, and he didn't intend to change his family. The old man also knew what General Wang was thinking. The old man can tell General Wang very responsibly that with the old man here, Yangping Pass cannot be lost. The old man also advises General Wang to stop thinking about rescuing Wei Song. When the army returns to the north, the land of Hanzhong will no longer be owned by Qin after our army conquered Yangping Pass."

"Why is the old general so obsessed with obsession? Could it be that the old general has forgotten the hatred of subjugation? Has he forgotten the kings of Chen Guo?" Wang Feng continued to persuade.

"General Wang, there is no need to waste any more words. This old man will never surrender. If you want Yangping Pass, then come and I will accompany you to the end!" The soldiers stood ready to guard against the Qin army's surprise attack.

"General, it seems that the old man Xie Xun will not surrender, what should we do now?" asked Xing Cong, a general of the Qin Army beside him.

"Let's go back to the camp first." Wang Feng thought for a while, but decided to go back first.

After returning to the camp, Wang Feng sighed and said, "I never thought that Xie Xun would be so stubborn that he could even let go of his hatred of subjugation. I really don't know what kind of ecstasy soup Deng Guojun and his ministers poured into him to make Xie Xun so determined."

"General, it's actually not difficult to understand. Xie Xun has been in Deng for many years, and he has already taken root in Deng. For Xie Xun, Chen Guo is a thing of the past. Besides, Xie Xun is old, and now it is more important. Most of them still think about their children and grandchildren, Deng Guo is in full swing now, why would Xie Xun turn his back on Deng Guo for a Chen Guo that has been dead for nine years?" Geng Yue thought for a while and said.

"Then what should we do? There are ten thousand people under Xie Xun's command, and Yangping Pass is very steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is undoubtedly a dream to succeed in a strong attack with our army, but if we cannot take Yangping Pass, we will not be able to rescue General Wei Song." , what should I do?" Xing Cong said with a sad face.

"Yangpingguan is now the fastest way for our army to enter Hanzhong County. It may be feasible to enter from other places, but there is no time at all. The leader of Deng's army is Yue Fei. With Yue Fei's means, he will never leave Wei Song alone. In too much time, if we can't rescue in time, I'm afraid Wei Song and his [-] elites will be defeated by Deng Jun, no matter, send troops to attack Yangping Pass tomorrow, and try Deng Jun's strength." Wang Wang Feng thought for a while and said.

As the No.1 general of Deng Guo, Yue Fei has never been defeated since his debut, and he can predict the enemy's opportunity. Since Yue Fei personally led the troops to Hanzhong County, it means that Yue Fei has a comprehensive plan, even if Wei Song can block it. For a while, it can't be stopped for a long time, so no matter how dangerous Yangping Pass is, Wang Feng has to take a risk.

"Here!" The generals responded.

Inside Yangping Pass, Xie Xun called his lieutenant immediately and said, "According to what we observed today, there are about 5 Qin troops outside the pass. , the Qin army has very little hope of taking Yangping Pass with a strong attack, but 2 is not afraid of [-], just in case, Wang Feng can replace Bai Qi as the general of the Qin State and take charge of the military power of the Qin State. You have to take precautions, you immediately go to Anyang City to meet General Murong with this handwritten letter, and inform the general of the situation here, and ask the general to decide how to proceed."

Although Xie Xun was very confident in defending Yangping Pass, his cautious personality prompted him to tell Murong Chui in Anyang City about the situation here. However, he did not ask Murong Chui to send troops to reinforce the pass. After all, 1 people were guarding the pass. It's still relatively safe. If there is no accident, even if Wang Feng throws all 5 people at Yangping Pass, he may not be able to succeed. Under such circumstances, how could Xie Xun take the initiative to ask for reinforcements? He simply handed over the decision to Murong Chui, it is up to Murong Chui to decide whether to increase troops or not.

"Here!" The lieutenant general responded, then turned and left, this matter is not a big deal, but the lieutenant general decided to rush to Anyang City as soon as possible, and report the situation here to Murong Chui.

The next day, the Qin army set up a formation under the pass, but due to the narrow terrain outside Yangping Pass, it was not suitable for large troops to display, so the Qin army could only deploy 300 soldiers and horses under the pass. Onslaught, facing the onslaught of the Qin army, Xie Xun was very calm, and only placed [-] troops on the top of the city. Facts have proved that Yangping Pass is really easy to defend and difficult to attack. Ten thousand Qin troops fought hard for a day, and more than a thousand soldiers were lost. However, Deng Jun's casualties were less than [-], and only a few dozen were killed.

Wang Feng, who returned to Daying, was very depressed. It was the first time he had encountered such a powerful pass as Yangping Pass. Long Pass, which was called the biggest obstacle for the Qin army to enter the pass, was not as good as Long Pass. The Han army resisted to the death. I am afraid that it will be very difficult for the Qin army to take all Hanzhong County.

"General, in today's battle, our army suffered more than a thousand casualties. Although the root cause has not been injured, the casualties of Deng's army are very small. If this continues, I am afraid that it will be difficult to shake Yangping if all 5 people are thrown under the Yangping Pass. It's half a point." Geng Yue said to Wang Feng helplessly.

"This general also knows, but if we can't take Yangping Pass, our army will not be able to rescue General Wei Song. At that time, Hanzhong County will fall into the hands of Deng Guo, and even General Wei Song and the [-] elite will be killed in Hanzhong County." "Wang Feng also said with a bitter face, he never thought that Yangping Pass would be such a hard nut to crack, it stands to reason that when Wang Feng went out for an expedition, the King of Qin told him that if the Hanzhong County Guard could not hold it It is important, the most important thing is to preserve the soldiers and horses. That is to say, after the attack on Yangping Pass is blocked, even if Wang Feng retreats, King Qin will not say anything, but Wang Feng is not reconciled. Since he became the general, he has fought repeatedly Defeated, without a record, if he retreated under Yangping Pass, Wang Feng really didn't know if he would have the face to continue to occupy the throne of the general.
