Wang Xiang squinted his eyes and looked at the old man in front of the southwest army. He couldn't imagine who it was. If it weren't for the soldiers of the Western Wei Dynasty behind him, Wang Xiang almost thought that Ziying's reinforcements had arrived.

"Not even the commander-in-chief knows this person?" Zhang Shuo asked curiously.

"Perhaps they are the reclusive sages recruited by the king in Qin." Wang Xiang didn't care much, "Bao Qin should have been destroyed long ago. The sages in the world couldn't stand it, so they came to help."

Zhang Shuo nodded secretly and said with a smile, "By capturing Linjin today, the Wei generals can drive away from Qin. Commander Wang has made such a great contribution, and it is just the right time to file down the sharpness of the halberd man."

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiang smiled on his face, "Haha... Commander Zhang doesn't know yet. Han Xin refused to advance and even used the bag to deceive the king. His betrayal has been revealed. I will return to the throne after today."

The position of the great commander of the Western Wei Dynasty."

"Congratulations." Zhang said, holding back his anger and smirking.

In this battle, Wang Xiang deliberately arrived late, making it clear that he wanted him to lose his troops first and then lead his troops to rescue the formation to achieve the first victory.

Even if Zhang Shuo takes the lead in this battle, Wang Xiang will still take advantage of his status.

Zhang said that the more he thought about it, the angrier he became, but he did not dare to fall out with Wang Xiang. He glanced at the Qin soldiers outside the city with sinister eyes, feeling that the anger in his heart needed to be vented.

"Does Commander Wang know the king's intention to enter Qin?" Zhang said.

"I'm taking Hangu Pass and seizing Qin's land." Wang Xiang was slightly puzzled.

"No!" Zhang said with poison in his eyes, "Back then, the great power of the Wei Dynasty was weakened by the consumption of national power by the state of Qin. Wang Ben flooded the beams with water, and Zhang Han forced Wei Wang Jiu to death. These accounts are the king's true account.

I want to settle things with Ziying."

"Oh? Haha..." Wang Xiang understood what he meant, "Then let's massacre Linjin City today to please the king!"

"That's exactly what I mean!" Zhang said with a cruel smile, and the long beryllium in his hand made a faint sound.

Wang Xiang was full of fighting spirit and couldn't wait, "First slaughter the Qin soldiers, then the Qin people. Commander Zhang, let's see who kills more!"

"kill!!!"

The two men shouted in unison, and tens of thousands of Wei soldiers joined together. With footsteps shaking the ground, they rushed outside Linjiang City like a frenzy.

Zhao Wu and Guan Gao were already sweating. Now if they wanted to open the city gate and enter, they would go to the Western Wei Dynasty and go ashore, giving the enemy an opportunity to take advantage.

"Linjin has been besieged, and the isolated city can no longer be defended. Break out to the south quickly!" Mo Fu shouted.

The two panicked old men were woken up and nodded repeatedly.

"There are enemy troops in the west and north, and there is a river to the east. Go south quickly!" Zhao Wu commanded loudly.

"Want to leave? It's not that easy!"

To the southwest, the white-haired old man pointed his hand, and the army rushed forward like lightning. The Western Wei cavalry rushed forward and blocked the Qin soldiers in an instant.

"Breakout!!"

Zhao Wu shouted loudly, and the Qin soldiers gritted their teeth and frowned, fighting with the old man's soldiers.

Zhang said that Wang Xiang followed the trend and spread his army to surround the Qin army on the north side.

The number of soldiers of the Western Wei Dynasty was many times greater than that of the Qin soldiers, and the encirclement gradually narrowed. In addition to fighting the enemy forces in the south, the Qin soldiers had to deal with enemies attacking from all directions.

The old man from the Wei army leisurely rode his horse forward and stood outside the circle quietly watching the fight between trapped animals.

The Qin soldiers, who had no way to retreat, fought to the death, killing several Western Wei soldiers even if they died.

The Western Wei army, which had the upper hand, thought they were sure of victory, but did not dare to fight with their lives. As they retreated and dodged, they were stabbed to death by halberds.

"It's easy to expose! Who allowed them to surround us so tightly!" The old man frowned and cursed secretly, "Every king needs to surround himself with three towers when hunting!"

The old man galloped on his horse and rushed to Wang Xiang's side.

"Two commanders!" the old man pulled the reins and said, "Please give me the order to open the siege from the north."

"Why?" Wang Xiang was a little dissatisfied when he saw that the old man was not polite.

The old man almost choked, stared and asked in shock, "The commander doesn't know about the three towers?"

"In a siege, we should open some openings to let the enemy think they have a way out, so as not to fight to the death. But..." Wang Xiang sneered, "Why is it not the south direction of my father-in-law, but the north direction?"

"What Commander Wang said makes sense!" Zhang said with an evil smile and agreed, "To the north is Chongquan. Commander Wang didn't send heavy troops to guard it. It would be bad if it was captured by the Qin people again. But it is feasible from the south. I think we should come from the southwest to Huaide.

If the Qin soldiers retreat to the southeast, they will encounter the Wei River and Han Xin. Is this the right way to go?"

The two of them were eager to kill more Qin soldiers and were determined not to open a siege northward.

"Ziying is south of the Weishui River. Is it possible to let these people meet up with him?!" The old man's chest heaved with anger.

"What?" Wang Xiang looked at the old man like a fool, "Ziying is clearly in Bashu and Yueyang has been lost. Even if he comes back, he shouldn't be on the south bank of the Wei River, right?"

"Han Xin is at Hangu Pass, my father-in-law thinks that Ziying is Han Xin's opponent? What can he do even if he is here?" Zhang said with a smile, secretly mocking the two of them.

"In short, we can't encircle anymore! The Western Wei soldiers have suffered too many injuries. Ziying's Bashu soldiers have returned, and the Wei King's troops are weak. All previous efforts will be wasted!" the old man said anxiously.

Wang Xiang and Zhang Shuo had lost patience with the old man talking nonsense in front of him and hoped that the attacker would die soon.

Zhang said he knew in his heart that the old man would not give in, so he thought about it for a moment and pretended to sigh helplessly.

"Then can I trouble you, sir, to persuade the Qin army to surrender with ease? I can wait until Lin Jin is a great achievement, and I don't bother to fight anymore."

Wang Xiang guessed what Zhang meant and echoed, "I didn't expect the Qin army to be so good at fighting. The guards of Chongquan City are still lax. I have no intention of fighting here. I can only trouble the old gentleman to persuade him to surrender. How about that?"

The old man was suspicious and saw that the faces of the two men were extremely sincere. They were also kind people and had already accepted the strategy of persuading them to surrender.

"The King of Wei captured Yueyang a few days ago and will send troops to Xianyang. After this battle, one person needs to be sent to lead troops to assist the King of Wei." The old man turned his horse's head and warned.

"Thank you sir!"

The two of them raised their hands together and ordered the Western Wei army to stop the fighting. Seeing the old man riding his horse to the south, they smiled in acquaintance.

"Humph! Old thing. When he sees Guan Gao and Zhao Wu, we will order a war and let him be killed by the Qin army!" Wang Xiang said with a cruel smile.

"Isn't Commander Wang going too far? I still want to kill the Qin army when they are disarmed, but I have never thought of killing my father-in-law." Zhang said with a smile.

"No delay, hahaha..." Wang Xiang was not angry, "Then I want to kill the Qin soldiers and then the old man. I will tell the king later that he was killed by the Qin soldiers who were unwilling to surrender!"

He showed no signs of cowardice while fighting the Qin soldiers in full swing. When he saw the enemy, he stopped and stabbed several Western Wei soldiers to death.

"Stop! It's so impolite!"

As the old man frowned and stared, the murderous Qin soldiers suddenly calmed down.

"Hmph! The Western Wei Dynasty invaded Qin, and the Qin soldiers defended the country and killed the enemy. What is the etiquette of a commander on the battlefield? You should go back to your hometown to teach." Zhao Wu wiped the blood on the back of his hand and stood opposite the old man on horseback.

The old man was slightly unhappy, "Your Excellency, you are Zhao Wu, the minister of King Changshan? King Changshan is originally from Wei. Your Excellency helped Qin fight against Wei. Have you forgotten your country?"

As a chivalrous man, Zhao Wu hated literary Confucians the most. He was very angry and said, "Old rotten Confucian, I tell you that when Chen Yu destroyed Changshan, King Bao of Wei, King Xie of Zhao, and Tian Rong all had a share! It's just that Chen Yu has returned to his old ways with King Changshan.

Well, King Xie of Zhao listened to Chen Yuzhi again. Tian Rong was attacked by Xiang Yu. The blame should be placed on the Western Wei Dynasty! Who cares about Wei people and Qin people!"

"It seems that I guessed it right." I chuckled, "Your Excellency is not just helping Qin. You can't forget the old grudges from the past."

"Nonsense! How can you forget this kind of hatred?" Zhao Wu cursed, bowing his back.

"I can!" the old man said with a smile, "Back then, the First Emperor destroyed my family and country, but I still served Qin. If not for the cruelty of the First Emperor, I would not have left Qin."

"Who are you?!" Zhao Wu couldn't stand the roundabout rhetoric.

"An old minister of King Zhuang Xiang, Wei Zhe from Wei!" The old man raised his face and said, "The countries are in disputes, and the world should be unified. Ziying will perish if he goes against nature. Only after Qin is destroyed can he reappear as a benevolent king, stabilize the world, and protect the people.

.Even if you hate the King of Wei very much, you should still let him destroy Qin. To support him by force is to go against heaven."

"Don't talk nonsense, charlatan! Even if I die in battle today, I will kill the Wei soldiers! If you dare to cause trouble again, don't blame me for killing you!"

Zhao Wu couldn't bear it at all, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.

"Fool!" Wei Zhe shouted loudly, "I have no regard for the soldiers. If I die here, you will all die! The Qin army has been defeated in this battle. Only by surrendering can you survive."

Wei Zhe pointed at the Qin soldiers around him and said, "Some of these people have not passed their thirties. You regard yourself as a knight, how can you just watch them die? Put down your halberd and don't go against the trend!"

Zhao Wu was slightly moved, but he knew Zhang was sinister and cunning, so he didn't dare to believe the old man's words.

"Wei...Mr. Wei Zhe..."

A timid girl's voice came from behind the approaching Guan Gao.

Wei Zhe recognized the person and breathed a sigh of relief, "Mo Shao?"

"I've met... I've met Mr. Wei Zhe."

Mo Fu hurriedly dismounted his horse and was about to salute, but was stopped by Wei Zhe.

"Does Marquis Ming Ni recognize this person?" Guangao asked curiously.

"Mr. Wei Zhe has lived in Qi for a long time, but he once gave me guidance, so he can be regarded as a mentor." Mo Fu said respectfully.

Wei Zhe reestablished his old friendship, but there was no joy on his face.

"The title of the queen is too high." Wei Zhe said with a cold face, "I dare not go against the will of heaven and help the marquis who violently suppresses the Qin Dynasty."

"This..." Mo Zhe didn't dare to look directly at Wei Zhe, he lowered his head and hesitated.

"What? Is what this old man said true?!"

Zhao Wu didn't believe Wei Zhe, but he didn't dare to doubt Mo Hui.

"The days...the days have changed..." Mo Fu muttered softly.

"If the weather changes, we shouldn't get involved!" Wei Zhe scolded, "If you act against nature, you will be punished by heaven!"
