Chapter 1078 Qin and Li join forces to cheat Yang Jian


    Chapter 1076: Qin and Li join forces to cheat 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 attack, as long as Hangu Pass remains unabated, Guanzhong will be as stable as Mount Tai.


    For Sizhou, Hangu Pass is even more of a lifeline.


    The terrain of the Heluo land is almost a flat land. Although there are several strong cities to defend, they can only defend the city, making it difficult to stop the cavalry from galloping outside, destroying fertile fields, and affecting production.


    Therefore, if you cannot get Hangu Pass, even if Qin Hao completely occupied Sizhou, he would always be in a passive state of being beaten. The cavalry of the Liang army would say that he could leave, and Sizhou would not get time to cultivate and rest.


    Only by holding Hangu Pass in your hands and improving the defense of Sizhou’s Western countries in all aspects can you completely avoid threats from the West.


    Passively being beaten is not Qin Hao''s style, so he must take Hangu Pass no matter what, but if he wants to forcibly take Hangu Pass away from Yang Jian, it is impossible to fight without killing more than 100,000 troops.


    Fortunately, Qin Hao still has the ace Li Shimin in his hand.


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


    "Second brother, but why is this?"


    Li Xiuning looked puzzled and puzzled, not understanding why her second brother had to hand over Hangu Pass to Qin Hao. In her opinion, this was simply a drinking poison to stop bleeding.


    "For Guanzhong, although Hangu Pass is important, 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 about it carefully, what will Yang Jian react after Hangu Pass is occupied by Qin Hao."


    "Yang Jian''s reaction?"


    Li Xiuning frowned slightly, and after a little thought, he said confidently: "If Hangu Pass falls, the food supply of more than 40,000 Liang troops of the Wild King will be cut off. In this case, the entire army will sooner or later be wiped out due to shortage of food.


    Most of the Ye Wang Guardians are from Yang Jian''s group, and Yang Jian will definitely not ignore it, so Yang Jian will definitely concentrate his efforts to win back Hangu Pass. ”


    “That’s right.”


    Li Shimin''s eyes flashed with a sneer, "Yang Jian will definitely compete for Hangu Pass. Most of his troops are attracted by the Qin army, and his control over Guanzhong will be reduced to a minimum. Isn''t it a great opportunity for us to regain Guanzhong?"


    Li Xiuning couldn''t help but suddenly realize when she heard this. Yes, no matter from which perspective, this is indeed the best opportunity, but Li Xiuning always feels something strange.


    If it is true as the second brother said, although Qin Hao can get Hangu Pass, the general of the Li family is very likely to become the leader of Guanxi, which is obviously Qin Hao will suffer even more.


    Li Xiuning believes that she knows Qin Hao well. This person is full of bad habits. How could he be so kind? So there must be some conspiracy here.


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


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


    Li Xiuning couldn''t guess Qin Hao''s purpose, so how could Li Shimin not see it?


    If it is really done according to Qin Hao''s design, the conflicts within the Liang army will be completely detonated and will trigger an unprecedented tragic civil war.


    In the end, no matter who wins, he will be unable to go out in the next few years. When the freshman Liang Jun recovers, the world may be in another situation.


    This is Qin Hao’s real purpose!


    Li Shimin said in his heart that although he knew this, he could not refuse.


    Yang Jian has achieved decisive rule in Guanzhong, and even if Li Shimin returns, he is not sure to win. If he joins forces with Qin Hao to cheat Yang Jian, he can increase his confidence to 80%.


    Those with barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes. Li Shimin''s situation is no longer worse now.


    At present, for Li Shimin, the most important thing is to return to Guanzhong to defeat Yang Jian, so even though he knew that Qin Hao dug a hole for him in front, as long as he fell to death, he could only jump down willingly.


    It was precisely because Qin Hao knew this that he was sure that Li Shimin would not refuse.


    This is a naked plot, a naked plot.


    "Xiu Ning, you are worried too much. Although Hangu Pass is the portal of Guanzhong, there is more than one portal in Guanzhong. The newly built Tongguan behind Hangu Pass has no defensive power than Hangu Pass, and it can also block the enemy in Guandong."


    Li Shimin''s words appeared to comfort Li Xiuning, but in fact they were telling Qin Hao that even if Hangu Pass was gone, there would be Tongguan in Guanzhong. Although his strength would be greatly damaged after the internal strife, he still had the main force of self-protection, which was still difficult to mess with.


    Of course, Qin Hao heard the meaning of Li Shimin''s words, but pretended not to understand it and smiled and said, "I just said Brother Shimin, you will not refuse."


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


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


    At this point, Qin Hao narrowed his eyes and smiled, "I am sure to win Hangu Pass. When you hand over Hangu Pass to me, you will be able to leave smoothly, otherwise I will not let you go."


    Li Shimin couldn''t help but sigh when he heard this. Qin Hao really counted him tightly.


    After a long silence, Li Shimin said in a stern voice: "I have another request."


    "explain."


    "Let your brother go with me."


    "impossible."


    Qin Hao flatly refused and said lightly: "At most I promise not to kill him, but he will not leave White Horse Temple for his entire life."


    Although Xuanzang has lost all his skills now, he is not that he cannot practice back. How could Qin Hao allow Li Shimin to have a great master, even in the future?


    Qin Hao said it very firmly, but Li Shimin still wanted to fight for it, but Xuanzang said with a warm face: "Shimin, don''t be like this for me. This time I have caused a great disaster for Buddhism. I am very guilty. I have decided to stay in White Horse Temple to repent my sins."


    "Brother, you..."


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


    "Um."


    Li Shimin nodded heavily.


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


    Li Shimin showed surprise. He didn''t expect Qin Hao to ask him for help.


    "I, I want to...forget it."


    Under Li Xiuning''s begging gaze, Qin Hao finally said nothing. After all, even if the person who could force her to keep her, she could not keep her heart, so why bother to force others to do so?


    "Dugu Qiubai, you **** Li Shimin, Li Xiuning and Li Maozhen to Bai Qi. Whenever Li Shimin helps our army take Hangu Pass, you will let them go."


    "No."
