"What?" After hearing the eunuch's urgent report, Liu Heng couldn't believe his ears, "Zhao King Zhang Ao abdicated, the Chu army has entered Handan? General Bai Xuan of Zhao State was also killed?!"

Dou Yifang, who was by Liu Heng's side, was also shocked.

Is this a big change? I just heard that the Chu army was in trouble in Hebei a few days ago and was forced to retreat to Ye County by the bloody battle of Zhao State. Why did such a big change happen in Handan in just a few days?

"This, this is impossible." Liu Heng murmured, "It must be the Black Ice Platform that made the mistake."

The eunuch bowed and retreated. Dou Yifang looked at Liu Heng who had become a little nervous and advised softly: "King, such a big change in Zhao State will inevitably lead to a complete reversal of the entire war. What we need to consider now is no longer to restrain Chu State to rescue Zhao State, but how to protect the Han Dynasty. It is better to recall the Prime Minister from Hanzhong as soon as possible."

"Yes, if it weren't for the Queen's reminder, I almost missed the big thing." Liu Heng woke up as if he was dreaming when he heard this. He immediately wrote a letter and urgently ordered the eunuchs to send them to Hanzhong for 800 miles.

A few days later, Luoyang Chu Palace.

Although it was already late at night, the lights were still on in the study.

King Xiang Zhuang of Chu, General Bi Shu, Grand Tutor Baili Xian, Order Xiang Da, Grand Marshal Xiang Tuo, Huan Chu, Ji Bu, Zhong Limei, Yu Ziqi and other Marshals all gathered together, and their faces were blushed and their expressions were excited.

The good news in recent days has been continuous. First, the crown prince Xiang Zheng threatened the two million people in Zhao. He forced the cowardly King Zhang Ao of Zhao to take the initiative to give way. After Zhang Jing inherited the throne, he immediately tore up the Lianheng alliance and joined the Hezong alliance. Moreover, Zhang Jing's foundation was unstable. In order to suppress the domestic opposition forces, he took the initiative to invite the Chu army to settle in Handan City.

A few days ago, the 100,000 army of Prince Xiang Zheng entered Handan without any effort.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Deng, the left general of Zhao State, successfully killed Bai Xuan, who had just defeated the Yan army with the help of Xuanyi Guard. Most of the 100,000 Zhao troops surrendered to Zhang Jing, while the remaining troops disappeared and the situation in Zhao State was quickly calmed down.

The most surprising thing is that King Zangtu of Yan actually coughed up blood while rushing back to the end and died. More than 200,000 Yan troops were beaten by Zhao's army in Yuyang and collapsed. In addition, the prince of Yan Zangyan had already died in Anqiu, Jiaodong, and Yan's grandson Zangxi was still in his infancy. The power of Yan State fell into the control of the Meng family's father and son.

Immediately afterwards, King Han Xin of Han condemned the envoy and expressed his willingness to join the Union Alliance!

In less than ten days, the general trend of the world has taken a sharp turn from the initial chaos to the slightest tilt towards the Chu State. Now the time for a large-scale attack on the Han Dynasty is ripe. The battle between Chu and Han, which has lasted for more than 20 years, is finally about to decide the outcome!

"King, the time for a large-scale attack on the Han Dynasty is ripe!" Bailixian pointed at the map in front of him with a feather fan in his hand. He said loudly, "I have two strategies to pacify Han Dynasty for reference by the king."

"First, all the soldiers from Jiangdong, Jingxiang, and Bashu were gathered together the soldiers from Han, Zhao, Yan, Wei, Qi and Bei Diao. They attacked Tongguan with thunder and thunder and entered Guanzhong."

"The advantage of this strategy is that it can concentrate its absolute superior forces, earn a contribution from Tongguan, completely destroy the Han army, so as to preserve the vitality of Guanzhong as much as possible, and help the land of Sanqin recover as soon as possible; the disadvantage is that the Han army can defend with the strong pass, and our army will inevitably pay several times the heavy price of the Han army from the front."

"Second, the troops are divided into ten directions and attack the Han Dynasty at the same time from all directions!"

As soon as the words finished, a whisper suddenly sounded in the study room.

Obviously, the civil servants and generals present were shocked by Bailixian's "Ten Ways to Defeat Han". Xiang Zhuang was also a little curious. He waved his hand to suppress everyone's whispers and signaled Bailixian to continue talking.

Baili Xian smiled slightly and continued: "The first route was to attack Han, with the general leading 200,000 troops to attack Hanzhong; the second route, Gao Chu of Wei led 50,000 troops to attack Tongguan; the third route, the crown prince Xiang Zhi led 20,000 troops to attack Jinniu Pass and attack Hanzhong sideways; the fourth route, the Qiang guard Pang Zheng led 20,000 troops to attack Longxi; the fifth route, the Qin Duke Meng Feng led the Northern Diao Cavalry out of the frontier, and attacked Jiuyuan from the south of Yangshan; the sixth route, the crown prince Xiang Zheng led 50,000 troops to attack Linjin, and threatened the side and back of Tongguan; the seventh route was the Han army, passing Lishi and attacking Shangjun; the eighth route was the Yanzhao coalition, passing Yanmen and attacking Yunzhong; the ninth route was the navy, going up the river water, and the Wei River directly knocked on Xianyang to intercept the food route of the Han army; the tenth route was the Yuezhi people, so they could be ordered to attack the north side!"

Silence, the whole study room suddenly became silent like a dead person, and it was quiet enough to be heard by the needle.

Xiang Zhuang and Bi Shu pondered without saying a word, while the other civil and military ministers such as Xiang Tuo, Xiang Ha, Huan Chu were stunned and looked at Bailixian with extremely surprised eyes. The situation was like looking at a monster. The king often said that the Grand Master was extremely smart and the enemy was destroyed in ashes while talking and laughing. They didn't believe it very much, but today they believed it.

Just as the Grand Master just spoke, there was a shocking arrangement of ten ways to attack the Han Dynasty!

Ten armies advanced in unison and launched attacks on the Han State from different directions. Even though the Han Prime Minister Bai Mo had the ability to reach the sky, he was definitely unbearable.

#############

Xianyang, Weiyang Palace.

Zhou Guanfu stepped forward with his sword and pointed to the map hanging on the wooden rack and said to Bai Mo: "Prime Minister, according to the information provided by the Hei Bingtai, the soldiers of the county governments of Jiangdong, Bashu and Jingxiang under the rule of Chu were all gathering on a large scale. South Korea, Zhao, Yan, and the Yuezhi people in the west were also secretly gathering their troops, which seemed to be a bad move."

King Liu Heng of Han was shocked and said, "Why did the Yuezhi people get involved with Chu?"

Zhao State and South Korea successively defected to Chu State, which is no longer a new thing. Now, the Chu army has already divided its troops into Wuzhong. Handan, Anyi, Han, Zhao, and Yan State have actually become vassal states of Chu State. Therefore, Liu Heng was not surprised that these three countries would send troops to attack Han, but the Yuezhi people were a little beyond his expectations.

Bai Mo, who was sitting at the lower head, sighed and said, "The Yuezhi people will collude with the Chu State. As expected by me, the Han State will soon usher in an unprecedented crisis. Whether to live or die, they will fight here."

Liu Heng looked pale and said in a trembling voice: "Xiangfu, the situation is like this, how should we deal with it?"

Bai Mo stood up and walked to the wooden frame, pointed to the map and said, "Due to the pressure of Chu, King, Han, Yan, and Zhao may not do their best even if they send troops. It is not worth worrying. The Yuezhi people are near the side of the bed, which is extremely threatening. However, I have ordered people to build beacon towers all over Hexi, so that General Cavalry can lead 30,000 cavalrymen to station in the north. If the Yuezhi people come, they will defeat them."

Liu Heng nodded slightly, but Zhou Yafu frowned and said, "Prime Minister, I want to guard Shangjun."

More than two months ago in Qi, Zhou Yafu suffered consecutive losses under the leadership of Prince Xiang Zhi of Chu, which led to the inequality of dirt within the Lianheng Alliance. This led to the fact that the South Korean alliance was against the alliance and the South Korean alliance was not long ago. The Han Dynasty suddenly lost the largest barrier in the east. Jiuyuan, Yunzhong and Shangjun counties were directly exposed to the enemy's troops.

Zhou Yafu has to bear great responsibility for the reason why the external environment of the Han Dynasty has become so bad today.

After Zhou Yafu returned to China, King Liu Heng of Han and Prime Minister Bai Mo did not blame him, but the more he did this, the more guilty Zhou Yafu felt, and he felt a stronger idea of ​​purging his former shame. This time, when he heard that Prince Xiang Zheng of Chu was gathering troops in Handan, his attack direction was directed to Puyang and Jin, Zhou Yafu had the idea of ​​competing with Xiang Zheng in Shangjun again.

"No." Bai Mo shook his head apart and said, "With your current mentality, it is not appropriate to face Xiang Zheng."

"Prime Minister!" Zhou Yafu was very anxious when he heard this, Bai Mo Deng said without hesitation, "You don't have to say much, your task is to guard Hexi well, and you must not let a cavalry of the Yuezhi Hu cavalry enter the northern part." After a pause, Bai Mo said to Liu Heng again, "King, as for Lin Jin's defense, I think it's better to hand it over to General Li Zuoche."

Since Li Zuoche returned to Guanzhong 16 years ago, he has lost Liu Bang's trust and has been idle since then. Even in the Mianshui Battle against Chu, Li Zuoche did not go out with the army. However, Bai Mo knew that Li Zuoche was still loyal and righteous, and was mature and polite. He could be said to be the best candidate to guard Lin Jin and fight Xiang Zheng.

"According to the Prime Minister's advice, the veteran General Li Zuoche guarded Lin Jin." Liu Heng paused and said, "However, the army of the Crown Prince Xiang Zheng was mostly just a partial army. I thought that the main force of the Chu army to attack Han must be Tongguan and Hanzhong. But I don't know what Xiangfu's plan to deal with it?"

Bai Mo said: "The king is wise, and I also think that the two Chu troops invaded Tongguan, Hanzhong are the main forces. Moreover, I can even assert that the one who leads troops to attack Hanzhong must be my junior brother Bishu. Hanzhong is the biggest barrier in Guanzhong. If Hanzhong loses, Guanzhong will be destroyed. Therefore, I decided to lead the army to Hanzhong to fight."

"As for Tongguan, it is the key to protect Xianyang. It is not a peerless general to guard it." At this point, Bai Mo turned his gaze to Zhou Guanfu, and then said, "I'll ask the champion to go to Tongguan."

Zhou Guanfu immediately bowed and said, "Prime Minister, don't worry, as long as I, Zhou Guanfu, still breathe a sigh of relief, I will never let a Chu soldier cross Tongguan!"

Liu Heng then breathed a long sigh of relief.

Bai Mo said again: "King, compared to Hanzhong and Tongguan, I am actually more worried about Jiuyuan!"

Liu Heng's heart suddenly raised again and said anxiously: "Xiangfu, will Jiuyuan be attacked too?"

Bai Mo nodded and said, "Even if the Han, Yan and Zhao army invaded Yunzhong and Shangjun, I am not worried at all, but if the Northern Diao Cavalry crosses Yangshan from Mobei and sinks to Jiuyuan, they can go straight to Xianyang." After a pause, Bai Mo said, "The situations of Northern Diao Kingdom and Yan, Zhao, and South Korea are different. The Northern Diao General Meng Fu is simply the general of Chu!"

Liu Heng was shocked and said, "Xiangfu, Meng Ruozhen led the Northern Diao Cavalry from Jiuyuan to the frontier. You can rush to the city of Xianyang in ten days along the straight road. What should I do?"

Bai Mo sighed and said, "Master, I can only lead the wolf into the house." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations, monthly votes, and your support is my greatest motivation.)
