Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1078 Qin Li teamed up with Yang Jian

Chapter 1076: Qin and Li team up to pit Yang Jian

Hangu Pass is located between Yongzhou and Sizhou, and plays an extremely important role in both states.

For Yongzhou, Hangu Pass is the gateway to the east. No matter how many enemies invade, as long as Hangu Pass is not lost, Guanzhong will be as stable as Mount Tai.

For Sizhou, Hangu Pass is like a lifeline.

The terrain of the land of Heluo is almost flat. Although there are several fortified cities that can be defended, they can only hold the city. It is difficult to prevent the cavalry from galloping outside, destroying fertile land, and affecting production.

Therefore, if the Hangu Pass is not obtained, even if Qin Hao completely occupies Sizhou, he will always be in a passive position of being beaten. The cavalry of the Liang army will leave as soon as they come, and Sizhou will not be able to cultivate at all. time.

Only by holding Hangu Pass in your hands and improving Sizhou's western defense in an all-round way can we completely avoid threats from the West.

It is not Qin Hao's style to be passively beaten, so he must take Hangu Pass anyway, but if he wants to take Hangu Pass from Yang Jian, it is impossible for a 10,000+ army to take it down.

Fortunately, Qin Hao still has the trump card of Li Shimin in his hand.

Although the control of Hangu Pass is now in the hands of Yang Jian, Qin Hao believes that with the background of the Li family in Guanzhong, Li Shimin must have a way to get Hangu Pass without any effort.

"Second brother, but why is this?"

Li Xiuning looked puzzled and puzzled. She didn't understand why her second brother had to hand over Hangu Pass to Qin Hao. In her opinion, it was simply drinking poison to stop the bleeding.

"For Guanzhong, Hangu Pass is important, but Guanzhong is not in our hands now."

A deep look flashed in Li Shimin's eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "Xiu Ning, think carefully about how Yang Jian will react if Hangu Pass is occupied by Qin Hao."

"Yang Jian's reaction?"

Li Xiuning frowned slightly, and after a little contemplation, he said firmly: "Once Hangu Pass falls, the food roads of the wild king's more than [-] Liang troops will be cut off, and sooner or later the entire army will be wiped out due to lack of food.

Most of the wild king's defenders are members of Yang Jian's family, and Yang Jian will definitely not ignore them, so Yang Jian will definitely concentrate his efforts to retake Hangu Pass. "

"Yes."

Li Shimin's eyes flickered, and he sneered: "Yang Jian will definitely fight for Hangu Pass. Most of his troops will be attracted by the Qin army, and his control over the pass will be minimized. Isn't it our great opportunity to take back the pass?" .”

Li Xiuning couldn't help but suddenly realized when he heard the words, yes, no matter from which point of view, this is indeed the best opportunity, but Li Xiuning always felt that something was weird.

If it is true what the second brother said, although Qin Hao can get the Hangu Pass, the general of the Li family is very likely to become the master of Kansai Zai, which obviously means that Qin Hao will suffer even more.

Li Xiuning thought she knew Qin Hao quite well. How could this person be so kind?So there must be some conspiracy here.

"Second brother, Hangu Pass is the gateway to Guanzhong after all, you have to be careful."

Li Xiuning no longer objected, but the implication was to remind Li Shimin to be careful of Qin Hao's schemes.

Li Xiuning couldn't figure out Qin Hao's purpose, so how could Li Shimin not be able to see it.

If it really goes according to Qin Hao's design, then the contradictions within the Liang army will be completely detonated, and an unprecedented tragic civil war will be triggered.

In the end, no matter who wins the championship, they will be unable to go east in the next few years, and when the new Liang army recovers, the world may be in a different situation.

This is Qin Hao's real purpose!
Li Shimin thought to himself, and although he knew this, he couldn't refuse.

Yang Jian has achieved a decisive rule in Guanzhong. Even if Li Shimin goes back, he is not absolutely sure that he will win. However, if he joins forces with Qin Hao to beat Yang Jian, he can increase his confidence to [-]%.

Those with bare feet are not afraid of wearing shoes.

Li Shimin's current situation could not be worse.

For Li Shimin at present, the most important thing is to return to Guanzhong and defeat Yang Jian, so even if he knows that Qin Hao has dug a hole for him in front, as long as he can't fall to his death, he can only jump willingly.

Qin Hao also knew this, so he was sure that Li Shimin would not refuse.

This is a conspiracy, a naked conspiracy.

"Xiu Ning, you worry too much. Although Hangu Pass is the gateway of Guanzhong, there is more than one gateway in Guanzhong. The newly built Tongguan behind Hangu Pass is not much less defensive than Hangu Pass. It can also stop the enemies of Guandong. .”

On the surface, Li Shimin's words are comforting Li Xiuning, but in fact, he is telling Qin Hao that even if Hangu Pass is gone, there will still be Tongguan in Guanzhong. Although the strength will be greatly damaged after internal fighting, there are still main forces for self-protection , still not easy to mess with.

Of course Qin Hao understood the meaning of Li Shimin's words, but he pretended not to understand, and said with a smile, "I told you, Brother Shimin, you won't refuse."

Li Shimin turned to face Qin Hao, and asked with a serious face: "Qin Hao, how do you know that I will definitely be able to help you get Hangu Pass? I can be homeless now."

"You are Li Shimin. Although I don't know what method you will use, I believe you must have your own method. Besides..."

Speaking of this, Qin Hao narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "I am bound to win Hangu Pass, when you hand over Hangu Pass to me, you can leave smoothly, otherwise I will not let you go. "

Li Shimin couldn't help sighing when he heard the words, Qin Hao really counted him to death.

After being silent for a while, Li Shimin said shyly, "I have one more request."

"Say."

"Let my brother-in-law go with me."

"impossible."

Qin Hao flatly refused, and said lightly: "I promise at most that I won't kill him, but he can't leave the White Horse Temple for the rest of his life."

Although Xuanzang has lost all his skills, it's not like he won't be able to recover from practice. How could Qin Hao allow Li Shimin to have a great master, even in the future.

What Qin Hao said was extremely firm, but Li Shimin still wanted to fight for it, but Xuanzang said kindly: "Shimin, don't worry about this poor monk. This time, it has brought catastrophe to Buddhism. The poor monk has committed a heinous crime." , the poor monk has decided to stay at the White Horse Temple to repent of his sins."

"Brother, you..."

Li Shimin's eyes were full of sadness, but Xuanzang seemed to see through the world of mortals, and said seriously: "Shimin, please listen to my brother's last words, treat the people well, and don't follow Dong Zhuo's old ways."

"Ah."

Li Shimin nodded heavily.

Seeing this, Qin Hao couldn't help but subconsciously glanced at Li Xiuning, hesitated for a while and said, "I also have a request."

Li Shimin showed surprise, he didn't expect Qin Hao to beg him sometimes.

"I, I think...that's all."

Under Li Xiuning's begging gaze, Qin Hao didn't say anything after all. After all, even if he could force her to stay, he couldn't keep her heart, so why bother to make things difficult for others.

"Dugu begging for defeat, you escort Li Shimin, Li Xiuning and Li Maozhen to Bai Qi's place. Whenever Li Shimin helps our army take Hangu Pass, you will let them go."

"promise."
