Chapter 65 Five Kingdoms Attack Qin
The Qin army was very strong, but if the six Shandong countries jointly attacked, the Qin State would not be able to bear it.
"The King of Qin ordered my Nanyang troops to act cheaply!"
It was a few days after Meng Tian received the news from Xianyang. More information came, and Pang Nuan from Zhao formed a Hehe Zong army and was preparing to attack Qin.
This time, Zhao State was in the north, Chu State was in the south, and Han and Wei State also sent troops to participate.
Surprisingly, Wei Guo, who only had a corner of the land, was unwilling to be lonely and barely formed a coalition of five countries.
The coalition of the Five-Nation Alliance attacked Qin, and when the news reached Guanzhong, the Qin people were in panic. In recent years, the Qin Dynasty has been unfavorable, and the kings have changed one after another. Cheng Jiao's rebellion has caused a group of old Qin people. Even with the support of steady generals in the army such as Wang Jian, the leaders of the Qian Dynasty still lacked enough trust in the young King of Qin.
When the King of Qin was preparing to win the crown, the war between the five countries and the crown was just around the corner. The ceremony of winning the crown had to be postponed. In order to take charge, Ying Zheng was already making preparations in secret, but the Prime Minister and the Empress Dowager were obviously unwilling to win the power of Ying Zheng too early.
"The land of Nanyang is new, and the people's hearts have not yet been completely supported, and the Qin army cannot disperse its troops." In the county magistrate's office, Qu Teng summoned Meng Tian and Shi Lu to discuss the military response of Nanyang County. "As long as the city of Wan is guaranteed to be unresolved, Nanyang will still belong to Qin when the Chu army retreats."
The county magistrates of Qin State had the responsibility of governing the people during normal times and defending the territory during wars. Qu Teng had already led troops and knew the importance of Wancheng.
In ancient times, fighting for cities was often the top priority. As long as the city was captured, a region would soon surrender. If the city was defended, it would threaten the enemy's defense line at all times.
"I will guard Wancheng, Jiyang and Li County to ensure the core area of Nanyang." Meng Tian pointed to the map and expressed his plan. "Li Bi's light cavalry will conduct mobile defense and harass the Chu army."
Meng Tian almost cleared the dangerous elements in Wancheng. The county magistrate's office, the county magistrate's office, the censor's office, and the censor's office. Meng Tian specially sent people to strengthen the protection. He didn't want Xiang Liang to cheat the county magistrate's office when people were upset.
"I have no worries about the land of Nanyang." Meng Tian's fingers crossed the map and pointed to the direction of Wuguan Road. "What I worry about is Wuguan's defense......"
Meng Tian sent someone to remind the generals of Wuguan, but he didn't know how effective it was. After the decline of Chu, Qin obtained the land of Nanjun and half of Nanyang, and Wuguan had never seen any military weapons again.
After years of peace, the quality of the Wuguan Guard was much worse than that of Hangu Pass. No matter how steep the pass was, people still had to guard it. During the turmoil at the end of the Qin Dynasty, Zhou Wen led a group of mobs to capture Hangu Pass, the world's number one pass.
"Wu Pass, when necessary, it is necessary to reinforce Wu Pass!"
Meng Tian made up his mind that he could not only care about the snow in front of his door, but how to reinforce Wuguan, he had to obtain more information. Otherwise, if he was hit by the Chu army's plan to siege the city and fight aid, Meng Tian could only find a piece of tofu in shame and kill him.

"Hurry, hurry up, keep up, I must arrive in Xi County tonight!"
When Meng Tian received the Xianyang military order, the Chu army was also marching non-stop. They avoided Jiyang in the north from afar, took a detour to Huyang in the south, and quietly passed Rang County.
Pu Ye, who was the vanguard, was bold and careful, and interspersed, and the march was extremely fast. South Korea did not send reinforcements to the Chu army, but instead sent a map of Nanyang and a guide.
With the help of the Koreans, the Chu army, except for the commander Jing Wei, were all full of confidence.
Always pay attention to your wings.
Jing Wei remembered that when he first started learning military tactics, the military gentleman reminded him like this at all times.
The Qin army occupied the land of Wancheng and greatly threatened the flanks of the Chu army. After careful consideration, Jing Wei divided up a group of troops to guard against the Qin garrison in Nanyang.
The strategy formulated by Chunshen Jun requires the Chu army to move forward bravely, attract the attention of the Qin army, and create conditions for Pang Nuan to attack Guanzhong.
With experience of living in Qin, Chunshen Jun was extremely clear about the potential for war in Qin.
Han and Wei had long declined, Zhao State had a bad geographical location, Qi State pursued pacifism, and only Qin State was the real enemy of Chu State. As long as Qin State collapsed, Chu State had the opportunity to achieve revival and become the largest country again.
A mature politician was willing to sacrifice the small profits in front of him for a lofty goal. In order to solve the threat from Qin, Chunshen Jun placed a big cost and never deliberately preserved his strength like the previous Hezong.
Chunshenjun wanted to fight a battle with the Qin army desperately, but his generals did not fully understand his intentions.
What Jing Wei was thinking about was how to achieve the goal of attacking Qin with the least sacrifice.
After dividing the troops, Jing Wei felt much safer after defending the retreat. He handed over the battle of sneak attacking Wuguan to Pu Ye directly.
By chance, Pu Ye, who was born in a small clan, had never had the opportunity to lead troops independently. He went deep into Qin and attacked Wuguan, and many Chu generals regarded it as a fear of their own way. This glorious task fell on Pu Ye, who always advocated courage.
After Pu Ye received the military order, the front army did not take off their armor and quickly left the army. Jing Wei could not catch up no matter how hard he drove it.
The principle that war is of speed is applicable to all worlds.
When Meng Tian learned about the fall of Wuguan, Xianyang's military order also arrived.
"I'll order the Nanyang Army to rescue Wuguan!"
The messenger who sent the order was expressionless. After reading the decree of the King of Qin, he went to other places to pass the orders.
In the newly conquered Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Xin Sheng led his army to guard Han and Wei, and could not move.
The land of Nanjun, the old land of Chu State, the people of Chu were eyeing each other, and the troops of Nanjun should not be moved lightly.
While Xianyang decided to increase troops to Yuguan, he decided to mobilize Meng Tian's army in Nanyang to advance towards Wuguan, and strive to attack the Chu army from front to back.
"Has the guards of Wuguan got into the mind? They took advantage of the right time and place, and in less than a quarter of an hour, the people of Chu captured Wuguan!"
Meng Tian couldn't help but feel a little angry. He had already sent someone to remind the Wuguan Guard, but he did not raise any idea.
The Qin army had extremely high quality, and almost all the generals who led the troops were promoted step by step from low-level titles. It should be said that they would not make big mistakes. But the forest was so big that there were all kinds of birds.
The generals who defended the city were not at high status. After Confessing the Concubine of Chu, they soon became the exile place for the generals who made mistakes.
When Meng Tian sent someone to convey the news, the Wuguan Guard General thought that Meng Tian was young and was just a mess when he caught the wind. Was he scared? The Chu State peace consortium returned to the country through Wuguan. The Wuguan Guard General heard the news that Qin and Chu were going to marry again. How could he think that Chunshen Jun would try his best to join the Hezong!
However, the generals of Wuguan were destined to have no room for regret. After Pu Ye attacked Wuguan, almost all the soldiers guarding the pass were wiped out. Only a hundred people fled to Shang County.
After this battle, Pu Ye of Chu gained a great reputation. Many years later, when the Qin people heard the name of General Pu of Chu, they would act like they were facing a great enemy.
When Wu Pass was lost, Meng Tian could only shrink his defense line to ensure the safety of Wancheng.
After leaving Feng Wuze to help Qu Teng defend the city, Meng Tian led the Nanyang garrison army that had been trained for a year and began another southward journey.
