Hedong County, Zhao State.

On the plain outside Quwo City, two armies of Qin and Zhao were confronting each other, and the camps on both sides stretched for dozens of miles and were endless.

As the sky was dark, countless lights lit up from the Qin army camp, like stars, reflecting the camp in the darkness into a galaxy on the ground.

Wu Anjun, the commander of the 200,000 Qin army, sat in the big tent, holding a bamboo slip in his hand and watching quietly.

A sound of footsteps came from far to near, towards the big tent.

The voices of the guards came from outside the camp: "The person who came is a common name!"

"Prime General Sima Jin, come on order!"

"General, will Sima Jin be allowed to enter the account?"

Bai Qi did not look up and said lightly: "Let him come in."

The curtain used to serve as the door of the camp was opened, and Sima Jin's tall figure rushed in with a breeze of summer night, making the entire camp seem much cooler.

"The last general Sima Jin has seen the general!" Sima Jin stared at a mosquito that had just landed between his nose. Seeing that the mosquito was about to start sucking blood, Sima Jin finally couldn't bear it and stretched out his hand.

After a crisp sound, a mosquito's corpse appeared in Sima Jin's palm.

Sima Jin reached out and bounced the mosquito's corpse away, then turned his gaze to Bai Qi again and said, "I wonder what the general is doing to summon the last general late at night?"

Bai Qi slowly raised his head. The black and white pupils always seemed to have a look of inexplicable awe-inspiring look. Two strands of white hair hang down from beside his cheeks. Although it looked old, it made people feel that the body was still full of energy.

It's a strange, but harmonious feeling.

"Sima Jin, how long does it take for the Zhao people to break through?" Bai Qi asked.

These days, Sima Jin, as a vanguard general, has fought with Zhao people a lot.

Sima Jin patted his chest with a heroic smile and whispered to Bai Qi: "Please rest assured, these Zhao people are tired. The general only needs to give the last general enough troops. At most, the last general will be able to break through the defense line of the Zhao people in three days!"

"Three days?" After hearing Sima Jin's reply, Bai Qi suddenly showed a strange expression on his face, as if it was sarcastic and as if it was self-deprecating.

"Sima Jin, do you know that we don't have as much time as three days."

"What?" Sima Jin was shocked when he heard this and hurriedly said, "General, why is this? Could it be that Xianyang City demanded to withdraw the troops?"

Although Sima Jin is indeed a powerful general, this does not mean that he has no political sense at all.

On the contrary, sometimes the intuition of a rough man like Sima Jin may be more accurate than many people who have been in the political arena for the rest of their lives.

Since learning that King Qin Zhu had returned to heaven, Sima Jin was a little worried that Xianyang would suddenly send an order to withdraw the Qin army in Hedong County and then negotiate peace with Zhao State.

It has to be said that Sima Jin's intuition is relatively accurate. There is indeed such a voice in the Qin political arena, but it has not yet formed a scale.

Bai Qi shook his head and denied Sima Jin's guess: "You are wrong. There is no order to withdraw troops from Xianyang. Instead, the prince hopes that we will continue to work hard and recover Hedong as soon as possible."

Sima Jin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this and said, "This is of course excellent, but if that's the case, why would the General say that we have no time?"

Bai Qi stood up, walked to the map hanging in the wall in the big tent, and said to Sima Jin: "Come here."

After Sima Jin came over, Bai Qi pointed to a city on the map and said to Sima Jin: "Do you know where this is?"

Sima Jin glanced at it and replied, "Go back to General, this is Anyi City."

Bai Qi nodded and said, "In three days, Lian Po's vanguard troops would appear in Anyi City."

"What?" Sima Jin was shocked when he heard this and couldn't help but urge him: "How is this possible?"

"This is naturally possible." Bai Qi continued to move his hand down and then pointed it on the edge of the Yellow River: "According to the emergency sent by Hangu Pass, the traces of the Zhao army have been found outside the pass."

"Hangu Pass?" Sima Jin was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he said: "Hangu Pass is extremely defensive measures. I believe that it will not be easy for the people of Zhao to break through Hangu Pass."

Bai Qi shook his head and said, "The people of Zhao don't have to break through Hangu Pass at all. What appears outside Hangu Pass now is Lian Po's suspicious soldiers."

As he said that, Bai Qi moved his fingers slightly upwards and landed on Zhongtiao Mountain on the north bank of the Yellow River. He gently tapped in the middle of the Zhongtiao Mountains: "Where is this?"

Sima Jin thought for a while and said, "This is Zhuguanxing."

Bai Qi nodded and said, "According to normal circumstances, Lian Po should have gone to Zhuguanxing to reinforce Hedong, or passed through Duan's family to Baixing, which is the right thing to do. However, Lian Po appeared in Hangu Pass a hundred miles away. Don't you think this is abnormal?"

Sima Jin couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this. After a while, he said, "So what Wu'an Jun means..."

Bai Qi said: "My meaning is very simple. If something goes wrong, there will be a demon. Since Lian Po will appear in front of Hangu Pass, then Anyi may be threatened!"

Sima Jin thought for a long time, finally slapped his thigh and said, "So Wu'anjun thinks that Lian Po is planning to attack Anyi and surround our army's retreat?"

Bai Qi nodded and said, "That's true. Although the Zhongtiao Mountains are difficult and dangerous, since Lian Po has done so, he must have found a way. If Lian Po leads his army suddenly appear under Anyi, then Anyi will definitely be broken. Once Anyi is broken, our army's retreat will be completely lost, and this battle will be difficult to defeat Zhao."

Sima Jin seemed to understand something, and immediately whispered to Bai Qi: "General, the last general is willing to lead his troops back to Anyi!"

"Very good." Bai Qi nodded with satisfaction and said to Sima Jin: "I give you ten thousand soldiers and horses. You must keep you tightly. As long as you keep it for a while, and wait for me to break through Quwo, then this battle can be declared victorious!"

"Here!" Sima Jin didn't say nonsense, and directly received the military order from Bai Qi and said goodbye in a hurry.

The wind in the dark night blew into the tent through the gap, bringing two wings to the big tent.

Bai Qi sat quietly for a while and a sneer appeared on his face.

"Lian Po, Lian Po. It took a lot of trouble for you to do this, but you didn't think about how I would be confused by your simple plan for the rest of my life? I want to see what kind of expression you should look when you find that the city of Anyi is already indestructible?"
