At the border of Zhao and Wei, in the military camp of the five kingdoms.
The huge barracks were endless, with tall buildings and sentry posts.
Only under Lord Xinling's command could the armies of these countries live in peace and obey orders.
In the middle of the camp, in the main tent.
Lord Xinling summoned Wei Qing from the State of Wei, Pang He from the State of Zhao, Jing Yang from the State of Chu, Gongsun Ying from the State of Han, and General Qu from the State of Yan.
"Everyone, the Qin army is powerful. Although we have more people than the Qin army, we cannot let our guard down. Our chances of winning are not high if we fight them head-on.”
"Thus, I plan to split my forces into two groups. One group will stay here, and the other group will follow me to the southern foot of Taihang Mountain. We will attack the Great Qin's Yinjin City and Huashan Granary to cut off the retreat of Meng Ao's army.”
Lord Xinling described his plans on the map.
Pang He, Wei Qing, Jing Yang, Gongsun Ying, and Jiang Qu all agreed. They trusted Lord Xinling's ability to lead troops, and this was indeed a good plan.
In order to ensure his safety, Lord Xinling decided to keep the Chu army led by Jing Yang and the Wei army led by Wei Qing, a total of more than 200,000 people. At the same time, he planted his flag in the army to confuse Meng Ao.
This was to deal with Meng Ao's army.
He led the Zhao, Han, and Yan armies from the southern foot of Taihang Mountain to Yinjin City and Huashan Granary.
After the battle plan was confirmed, the alliance army of the five nations immediately took action.
Lord Xinling led the army and set off. Jing Yang and Wei Qing stayed behind in the camp. They did not need to go out to fight, but they had to defend the camp. It was fine as long as they were not defeated by Meng Ao.
Very soon, Meng Ao found out that the Five Nation Alliance had split up.
However, he could not confirm which path Lord Xinling was in.
Although Zhao Mu and Meng Ao had already analyzed and guessed that Lord Xinling was most likely in the army heading towards Yinjin City, this was only their speculation.
Meng Ao decided to wait for news from Zhao Mu.
No matter which army Lord Xinling was in, as long as Zhao Mu blocked the alliance army, Meng Ao was confident that he could defeat them.
Zhao Mu's position was very important. Because the Qin army's grain was transported through the Wei River and the Yellow River, Meng Ao could not divide his forces to help Zhao Mu attack the army that was going through Taihang Mountain.
Zhao Mu could only depend on himself.
Zhao Mu became the key to victory or defeat in this world-renowned battle.
Lord Xinling led the armies of the three kingdoms, passing through Yewang and Wusui without attacking, and soon arrived at the 2nd Chiguan Pass. Lord Xinling originally planned to pass through the 2nd Chiguan Pass, cross Hedong County, and reach the junction of the Wei River and the Yellow River.
The grain of the Qin army was transported to Meng Ao through the Wei River and the Yellow River.
Lord Xinling could cut off the rations of the Qin army without shedding a single drop of blood, replenishing himself and achieving the goal of nurturing the war through battle.
Unfortunately, they couldn't pass the second pass.
Lord Xinling frowned as he looked at the sturdy camp.
He did not expect his plan to be completely within the enemy's expectations.
"Who is the general of the Qin army guarding this camp?”
"It's Zhao Mu, the God of Killing who has risen to fame in the past two years."”
Lord Xinling said," So it's him. This person has always been the vanguard and has never led an army on his own. I didn't expect Meng Ao to be so assured to let him lead this army. It seems that this person must have something extraordinary."”
Lord Xinling never dared to underestimate anyone in this world. Zhao Mu had stood out among the Qin army and earned the title of the God of Killing in just two years.
Now that Meng Ao had given the 2nd Blazing Pass to Zhao Mu, he must have some extraordinary abilities. If he underestimated him, he would be defeated and become the laughing stock of the world.
"The Qin army only has 50,000 men, but the terrain of the Blazing Pass is dangerous and the roads are narrow.”
"As the saying goes, one man can hold off ten thousand men.”
Pang He looked at the sturdy camp with an ugly expression.
Gong Sun Ying and General Dao Tong also had a troubled expression.
They had thought that Lord Xinling would lead them to a great victory, but they did not expect to encounter obstacles at the 2nd Blazing Pass.
"Let's set up camp first."
"Since Zhao Mu has led his army to stop us here, our plan must have been known by Meng Ao. Meng Ao can't split his forces, but Wei Qing and Jing Yang can also stop him. Now, we have to see if we can break through Zhao Mu's camp.”
Lord Xinling said in a deep voice.
He decided to see if there was any other way. If there was no other way, then he could only attack forcefully.
If they were to attack in such a terrain, coupled with Zhao Mu's unparalleled bravery, the alliance army would probably suffer heavy losses and might not be able to break through this camp.
While Lord Xinling was leading the army to set up camp, Zhao Mu was watching Lord Xinling's army from the camp.
He smiled. According to Meng Ao's orders, as long as he blocked Lord Xinling, it would be a great merit.
However, Zhao Mu wanted more than that. He wanted to defeat Lord Xinling, a famous figure in the world.
"Defend carefully. You can't relax at all!”
Zhao Mu ordered.
The Qin soldiers bowed in agreement.
Not only did the people of the Third Jin Kingdom fear this God of Killing, but even the Qin soldiers themselves were extremely afraid. It was as if they would be killed by Zhao Mu if he looked at them.
When Zhao Mu returned to his tent, a man in his forties, whose left hand and feet were made of bronze, was already waiting for him.
This person was the most outstanding leader of the Gongshu family in this generation, Gongshu Chou.
Although his hair was now gray, he was not the old man he would be in the future.
After all, it was still the third year of King Zhuang Xiang's reign, and Ying Zheng had yet to succeed the throne.
"Greetings, General."
Gongshu Chou respected Zhao Mu very much. A year ago, Zhao Mu took the initiative to look for Gongshu Chou and invited him to come out of the mountain to help him. At that time, he was only an official doctor. He could be said to have visited Gongshu Chou three times. In the end, Gongshu Chou was moved and served Zhao Mu wholeheartedly.
Moreover, some of Zhao Mu's ideas from the later generations made Gongshu Chou feel like he had met a confidant, so he treated Zhao Mu with even more respect.
