On the wall of Hangu Pass, Lin Ze found Han Xin and briefly told what he had just experienced, and then asked a question that he was very concerned about: "Can you know that kind of fusion secret technique?"
Han Xin's face wrinkled after hearing this: "The perfect fusion of general strength and martial arts power can achieve the effect of doubling combat power. If the Marquis hadn't seen it with his own eyes, the general would really not believe it."
"As far as I know, the secret art of the military strategist has long been lost since the death of Wu Qi, the master of the military strategist. It seems that the military strategist disciple that the Marquis met is most likely a descendant of Wu Qi."
"Wu Qi?"
There was a hint of understanding on Lin Ze's face: "If I remember correctly, Wu Qi, the military master, died in Chu's civil war. It seems possible that his disciples will assist Chu."
"Han Xin, if you meet this person, are you sure you can defeat him?"
Han Xin showed a confident smile on his face: "Please rest assured, Lord Marquis, the general is not just a disciple of the military strategist who sticks to the rules, let alone the disciple of Wu Qi, the senior military strategist opposite, even if Wu Qi comes back to life, the general will not be afraid of him."
Lin Ze was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Yes, I believe in you."
After the laughter subsided, Lin Ze said with a serious face: "The opponent also has a grandmaster in this battle. I have to take action to contain him. The next battle can only rely on you."
"Don't feel too much pressure. I will let Mo Daofu fully assist you in this battle. His strength is not inferior to that of a grandmaster, and his city defense methods are even better than those of ordinary grandmasters. He will definitely be a powerful help."
Han Xin looked serious and said: "I will obey your orders."
…
A few days later, another large army appeared outside Hangu Pass. The big flag with the word "Liu" fluttering in the wind made the identity of the visitor obvious.
Xiang Ji also didn't expect that the first person to come over would be Liu Ji, not Zhao Weihan who was closest to Hangu Pass.
After the death of the military minister of the Zhao Kingdom, Chen Er and others found Zhao Xie, a royal disciple of the Zhao Kingdom who was living among the people, and supported him to succeed as the King of Zhao.
Chen She proclaimed himself king and sent Zhou Shi to occupy the former Wei and Han lands. Originally, the survivors of Wei and Han did not dare to return to their kingdoms under Chen She's power.
After Chen She was killed by Lin Ze, the Qin army regained control of the land of Wei and Han, but the survivors of the two countries still did not dare to return to their countries.
Then Hu Hai forcibly recalled Lin Ze. Lin Ze believed that the land of Guandong could not be defended without him, so he asked Chen Ping to move most of the people in the Wei and Han lands into Guanzhong, causing the lands of Wei and Han to wither and become almost a wasteland.
At this time, Xiang Ji was eager to consolidate the Chu territory, Zhao Xie was busy controlling Zhao State, Qi State was working hard to restore its strength, and Liu Ji was trying hard to regain the trust of the people.
For a time, no force paid attention to the land of Wei and Han, which had little short-term value and was not very safe.
In this way, the survivors of Wei and Han observed for several months and found that no one cared about their homeland, so they gathered a group of people to return to the country.
Although the strength of the two countries is far less than that of the other parties, they are one of the six countries after all. One of the princes, Pengcheng Alliance, Xiang Ji also sent people to invite the two countries.
King Jiu of Wei and Wangcheng of Han, the two monarchs, did not dare to neglect after receiving Xiang Ji's invitation. They personally led people to participate and promised that the Six Kingdoms would attack Qin and they would send a large army together.
Now it seems that the courage of the two countries is still as timid as ever. This is what Xiang Ji couldn't help but think after seeing Liu Ji.
Liu Ji actually didn't want to participate in this alliance, especially when he had to face Lin Ze.
The experience of the last brief confrontation with Lin Ze was still vivid in his mind, and Liu Ji did not forget how embarrassed he was at the beginning.
The more than 100,000 troops that were finally recruited were completely wiped out. The newly conquered territory was severely cleaned by the Qin army, and the people still resented themselves.
If it hadn't been for the Confucian master's desperate efforts to save him, he would have fallen into Lin Ze's hands.
Liu Ji actually doesn't understand. Everyone just stays on their own territory, develops their strength silently, and wants to dominate. Isn't it good? He must tease that ruthless person.
Liu Ji didn't want to come, but Zhang Liang, Xiao He, Cao Shen, and even the Confucian master strongly suggested that he lead the army.
Zhang Liang even made it clear that he did not expect to win the battle with Qin, but the lord must show his face.
According to Zhang Liang and others, this is an excellent opportunity for Liu Ji to quickly integrate into the circle of princes and not be rejected by others.
Liu Ji listened for a long time and didn't understand much, but he clearly remembered Zhang Liang's words, "Please show enthusiasm, Lord, and just save your own life."
Isn't it just paddling? I'm very familiar with this. In my early years, when I was hanging out in the market and participating in gang fights, wasn't this what I always did?
So when Liu Ji saw Xiang Ji, he immediately rode up to him with a smile on his face and shouted: "Alliance leader Wan'an, Liu Ji followed the alliance leader's order and mobilized 120,000 troops to come to obey the order. Today he successfully defeated the alliance leader.
Let’s meet up and ask the alliance leader for instructions.”
Liu Ji's excessive enthusiasm made Xiang Ji very happy. He didn't expect that he was so attractive and worthy of his allies to follow him so hard.
A smile appeared on Xiang Ji's face and he said: "Brother Liu is truly a righteous man. On behalf of the six countries, I would like to express my gratitude here."
Liu Ji cursed in his heart: "The military advisor (Zhang Liang) is right, the Six Nations do not regard themselves as their own at all."
Thinking so, Liu Ji's face did not show any displeasure. Instead, he said with excitement: "Alliance leader, please don't say that. Being able to overthrow the violent Qin and restore a bright world to the world is a long-cherished wish in the next life."
"Liu Ji is not talented and cannot overthrow the violent Qin Dynasty, but the alliance leader is a top figure in the world and can definitely realize Liu Ji's wish. Liu Ji is willing to wing the alliance leader to achieve this wish."
Now it was Xiang Ji's turn to be shocked. Is this showing his loyalty? Is he really that strong?
"Brother Liu, don't worry, I can definitely overthrow the violent Qin Dynasty," Xiang Ji's face also looked a little excited, perhaps influenced by Liu Ji.
Fan Zeng on the side always felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere. Liu Ji's performance felt very strange.
He took the initiative to cough lightly and interrupted: "My lord, General Liu has come all the way. Due to circumstances and reasons, my lord deserves to have a banquet. It seems a bit rude to stand outside the camp like this."
Xiang Ji nodded with approval: "Brother Liu, hurry up and follow me into the camp. I will ask someone to arrange a banquet immediately."
Liu Ji remembered Zhang Liang's words and said to the three people behind him: "The leader of the alliance has invited me to a banquet. It is difficult to refuse the hospitality. The military advisor will accompany me to the banquet. I would like to trouble Mr. Xiao He and Cao Shen to arrange for the army to camp. If there is any problem,
If there is any important matter, we will talk about it after I come back from the banquet."
Xiang Ji saw Liu Ji's behavior of abandoning military affairs and accompanying him to the banquet, and he became more and more satisfied.
It would be nice if the other party was also a noble, otherwise it would be good to be a sworn brother. Xiang Ji suddenly felt a little regretful.
In the next few days, Xiang Ji sent people to invite Liu Ji to banquets every day in order to win over Liu Ji.
Liu Ji also enjoyed it. Every time he called for "Bida", he went in and out of the Chu army's camp all day long, enjoying himself happily.
Every time Xiang Ji tentatively mentioned the attack on Hangu Pass, Liu Ji patted his chest and said, "As long as the leader of the alliance orders us, we will do whatever it takes, whether we go up the mountain of swords or go down into the sea of fire."
Fan Zeng, who was originally somewhat wary of Liu Ji, lost his wariness after a few days of contact.
This guy is just a lucky gangster. I really don’t know what wise men like Zhang Liang like about him. Is it because he is easy to control?
The arrival of Liu Ji's army did not cause trouble to the Qin army.
After a while, a total of 500,000 troops from Zhao, Qi, Wei and Han arrived on the battlefield, and the war was about to break out.
