The mountain road is difficult and it is extremely difficult to walk at night. The 20,000 army was burned out by the fire. Under the double pressure of spirit and body, they acted more slowly.

Until this time, it was already dawn and I finally saw the scene in the mountains.

Many Zhao soldiers looked back at Que and the city far behind them, and could vaguely see the black smoke slowly drifting from all parts of the city to the sky.

Finally, the army traveled all night and arrived at the foot of Mafu Mountain.

Ran Jin looked up at the mountain.

There are dense jungles on both sides of Mafu Mountain, with dense trees. If you are ambushed, you can hide soldiers in the dense forest. However, once you reach the top of the mountain, it will be a different scene.

On the top of the northern mountain of Mafu Mountain, it is an extremely wide open space with bare rocks everywhere. Even if the fire is burned, the terrain of the open space is an extremely wide flat slope.

Therefore, general army has to attack Mafu Mountain. Even if it forces it to the top of the mountain with several times its strength, it still has to face the terrain of the mountain. Once it is occupied first, it will always be condemned by the first climber.

The defenders are different. There is no fire here. Whether it is arrows or strong attacks, the first climbers are the advantage of the condescending ones and take all the first moves.

"What do we do, General!"

Ran Jin looked at the top of the mountain and said, "After climbing the mountain, you will definitely be noticed by the Qin army in the city. If we are stationed here, the Qin army will be like a thorn on our backs. How can we be comfortable? At that time, the Qin army will lead our army to attack. How can we break through the terrain? When the Qin army cannot capture it for a long time, we will join forces with reinforcements and suddenly come to Que and go down to the city."

"What the general said is extremely true!"

The deputy general immediately ordered the entire army to climb the mountain.

It is said to be mountaineering, but it is actually a huge slope.

In a steep place, you have to touch the ground with your limbs before you can climb.

The 20,000 Zhao troops supported each other and slowly climbed upward towards the beginning of the top of the mountain.

As long as he occupied the top of the mountain, even if the task was completed, Zhao Jun relaxed his vigilance at this time!

At this moment, a strong sound of footsteps suddenly came to Ran Jin's ears on the top of the mountain.

Instinctively, everyone was shocked. They saw that Qin troops suddenly appeared at the concave areas of the mountain top, with green light on their eyes, just like wild wolves in the mountains.

The iron crossbow in his hand aimed at Zhao Jun who was still climbing the mountain.

Ran Jin and the Zhao army were all in danger.

It can be said that the Qin army suddenly appeared was not at all prepared. You should know that this is Mafu Mountain. If the Qin army does not leave the palace, how could it enter the mountains?

Wang Jian suddenly took a step forward, looked down at Ran Jin and the generals, and said with a smile: "General Su predicts that you will abandon the city and occupy the mountain. I will wait for you for many days."

When the Zhao army saw the appearance of the Qin army, they did not wait for Ran Jin to order, and they rolled down the mountain one by one.

Ran Jin was frightened. Neither Que nor the burned city was as surprised now.

"My life is over!"

...

After the battle between Que and the city and Mafu Mountain, they completely fell into the hands of Qin.

If you just go down, it is important, but if you can't go down from Jinyang, it will be useless. If you just go down from Jinyang, you can't go down from Queyu. For the Qin army, it means waiting for the Zhao army's counterattack at any time.

Su Jie lurked into Handan, and the storm that caused was over after being taken down by Que and was brought to an end.

However, in fact, the strategic significance of Que and Cheng in Su Jie's eyes is far greater than that of Jinyang.

Jinyang is the old capital of Zhao State and has great significance to Zhao State. To Qin State, it is a huge city!

However, Que and Jinyang went down to the city at the same time, which means that Que and became the most important strategic path for the Qin Dynasty's eastern expedition.

In Su Jie's mind, before he went to war, he carefully looked at the current territory of Zhao State.

From the perspective of later generations, the territory of Zhao mainly includes two areas in the Taiyuan Basin, namely the Shangdang area and the North China Plain in later generations.

The two territorys are bounded by Taihang Mountain in the middle. From Jinyang to Handan, they all pass through Que and, but Que and belong to the boundary of Shanxi.

What does it mean that Que and Jinyang are lost at the same time?

This means that Zhao State will be divided into two parts, and Qin State will completely strip the Taiyuan Basin from the territory of Zhao State, that is, all the Zhao State land in the entire Shanxi territory. The mountain here refers to the Taihang Mountains, which means that in today's Zhao State, only the North China Plain is left.

In the eyes of Wang Yan and other generals, Su Jie's vision was not bad. He cut it off in half and occupied Que!

Now, the remaining cities in the Shanxi border of Zhao State can be cleaned up one by one.

...

At noon the next day after Que and the fire broke out, Fan Yuqi's army's probing horses rushed towards Tunliu.

Que and Hetunliu are not far away. If a large army operates, they can arrive one day and one night. However, if you ride a fast horse alone, you should be much faster.

Fan Yuqi listened to the suggestion of the deputy general and stationed here for two days. When Wang Cheng led his army to raid, he would definitely not be able to make contributions. He led the army to break through. Everyone is a general. If you can't make contributions, I can make contributions! In comparison, everyone in the Qin State could know that I, Fan Yuqi, was a buried general!

As for military power, it is obvious that I, Fan Yuqi, can win, and naturally have a higher skill.

"General, General, Que Yu's horse prodding is back."

"Oh? Call me in quickly!"

Fan Yuqi and a group of generals were discussing matters in the commander's tent. When he heard the news, he couldn't help but be excited. He came back so soon, and it was only one night.

Including the time spent on the way back, this horse stalker probably set off late last night. Will the winner be decided so quickly? How is it possible? I still have to think that something must have happened!

Fan Yuqi said: "The Zhao army has no way to retreat, and is backed by Taihang Mountain Pass. General Wang Feng only wanted to take advantage of the chaos in the morale of Que and the defenders and attack the city. General Zhao must know that the only opportunity for the fight was that General Wang led his troops to arrive and suddenly attacked when our soldiers were trapped in the face of horses. I guess this is the case."

What Fan Yuqi said is quite reasonable. To put it bluntly, everyone has advantages, but it is just that the coach's courage and skill is judging from a certain point. Do you dare to fight or I dare to attack?

After seeing Tanma appear, Tanma scout looked even darker, and the surprise in his expression had not completely dissipated.

Fan Yuqi asked, "Did Zhao Jun break through?"

The explorer was stunned and said, "The Zhao army did not break through. In just two hours last night, Que Yu was taken down by the city. The Zhao army lost more than 20,000 people, and the remaining more than 20,000 people fled from the east gate abandoned city. Now our army has taken Que Yu."

When Fan Yuqi heard this, his face froze.

The rest of the people also stood up, stunned.

"What did you say? In two hours, you captured Que and the defenders? Didn't you resist?"

"Don't fool me, please tell me in detail quickly."

If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it.

He said: "Military affairs are important, how dare you arrange them at will? General Wang Feng arrived ten miles outside the city yesterday, and then ordered the soldiers to dig holes. The strategies used were like Jinyang, and all the soldiers put on velvet clothes."

Before the horse was discovered, Fan Yuqi was shocked and said, "Is it another heavy snow?"

The explorer said, "General Fan thought so, and the guards in the city naturally thought so. Then, the city was in chaos, and the soldiers and generals quarreled on the city tower. I guess this was General Wang's plan. After that, a fire broke out in the city. Because of the east wind, the fire burst into flames and filled the entire city, burning the entire Que Yu. General Wang took the opportunity to seize Que Yu, and it took only two hours."

"What? Fire burns the Que and this! This!"

The generals looked at each other, and everyone was incredible.

Fan Yuqi was also a little confused. After all, even if the 150,000 troops surrounded Que Yu, they would not be able to get off the city in a short time.

As for Fan Yuqi's troops here, everyone actually knew Fan Yuqi's plan, but no one said it out loud, because their interests were consistent.

Moreover, before this happened, each of them believed that the great achievements of the Xiaque and the City must be theirs. How can you fight a 30,000 people and refuse the city to leave? Just one side of the city.

Fan Yuqi waved his hand and asked the scout to go out.

At this moment, he was shocked and melancholy. The garrison was stationed, and the great achievements he had won were gone.

A deputy general said: "Although we don't know the reason for the fire in the next chasm, we guessed it with the actions of our army. It must have been planned long ago. The digging of caves is exactly the same as the Jinyang plan, and it must have been done by General Su."

"Although General Wang is the main general, everyone knows that there is General Su behind this. I never expected that it was a fire attack, and a big fire destroyed a city. General Su is so courageous."

"We have tried our best to seize a city and thought about it. General Su destroyed half of Zhao State by himself, which is really difficult to compare!" A general sighed.

Fan Yuqi was very upset at this moment, so he asked the generals to retreat, leaving behind his confidant deputy general.

He looked at the deputy general, as if asking how to do it.

The deputy general said: "General, I think this burning of the Que and the city is actually a chance for us!"

This person's words immediately attracted Fan Yuqi.

"How do you say this!"

The deputy general continued: "There were snow in June before and the fire burned the city later. These were signs of the gods' anger. The last general believed that General Su would conquer Handan in the next step, and he would use these two things as a basis to disturb the hearts of the people of Zhao. Since this is the case, why can't we use it first?"

Fan Yuqi opened his eyes, murmured as if he was thinking, "Handan is more fragile at this time than when we go to war!"

The deputy general smiled and said, "It's good that the general understands!"

"Handan before was already a trick of being absent from the family. With the ability of a general to command troops, he was worried that he would not be able to go down the city? What's more, Handan is much easier to go to now than before."

Fan Yuqi said: "But, what can we do to pass through Que and openly?"

Because to enter Taihang Mountain to go to Handan, you must enter Que and City. Wang He is one of the three veterans in the court. If he uses his identity and needs military power, he can only be forced to show the tiger talisman, which is not very good-looking. What Fan Yuqi needs is an ambiguous thing and cannot be caught by others.

It means I want to lead the troops, but what I need is your best default.

The deputy general said: "General, I have a way to make Wang Yan willingly let the general lead his troops to Handan."

...

Su Jie didn't sleep all night yesterday, and it was not until dawn that he felt sleepy. He had just woken up at noon.

Then he heard the message saying that Fan Yuqi led 150,000 troops and stationed in Tunliu, but did not leave Yecheng to Jinyang.

In fact, after Su Jie received the secret letter from Lu Buwei, he was careful when he learned that the general was Fan Yuqi, and then immediately sent someone to stare at the movements of Fan Yuqi's army.

Logically, Fan Yuqi's army set out from Shangdang to Yecheng. Based on his horse exploration returns over the past few days, according to time, he should have arrived in Jinyang yesterday.

But now, that's not the case.

At this time, it was not until I heard that Fan Yuqi had stationed his troops in the garrison.
Chapter completed!
