In July, the sun is scorching and the weather is hot.

At the top of the city wall of Pingzhou, Su Mo stood with his sword, looking at the mountains in the distance, with an extremely solemn expression.

"Tait!"

The rapid footsteps sounded from far to near, and the scouts came over and there was a hint of panic in their eyes.

"Qi reported to the commander of the capital, Meng Ao's army is less than twenty miles away from Pingzhou!"

Su Mo looked at the tired scout, asked in detail about the information, and immediately signaled the other party to retreat.

"Are you finally here?"

"I just didn't expect that Meng Ao would not focus on attacking the Turkish Army fortress, but instead detoured hundreds of miles to attack Pingzhou."

Su Mo was born in a big family. He learned literature and martial arts since childhood and liked to read military books.

In the war against the invasion of Yan State, Su Mo resolutely joined the army, but at first it was not very outstanding.

After accumulating experience, Su Mo made his mark, combined the military tactics he learned with practice, and then began to accumulate strength.

Last year, Su Mo performed extremely well when he followed Zhao Jia to attack Shenqi's land.

In addition, Su Mo was born in an extraordinary way and was quite powerful in the court. Zhao Jia took advantage of the situation and ordered Su Mo to serve as the chief lieutenant, and handed over the Pingzhou Fortress to Su Mo to guard.

Faced with Zhao Jia's respect and trust, Su Mo also did his best.

However, now that Meng Ao commands the 100,000 elite Qin army invades, Su Mo, who has never commanded the army alone, is still a little nervous.

"Recall all soldiers outside the city, close the city gates and prepare for battle!"

Su Mo took a deep breath, barely calmed down the tension in his heart, and ordered the commander next to him.

Then, Su Mo turned to look at Qi Xuan and asked, "Have all the people in the city been expelled?"

Qi Xuan was Zhao Qian's friend in Handan City. He also followed Zhao Qian to humiliate Zhao Jia, but was slapped in the face on the street.

After that incident, Qi Xuan became much more mature.

Later, Yan State attacked with all its might, and Qi Xuan, a playboy, resolutely joined the army and happened to be assigned to Zhao Jia's command.

Friendship on the battlefield can always be remembered.

The teachings and desperate help of the lame old man also made Qi Xuan gradually transform. He was no longer the domineering playboy, but a fierce general in the army who was in charge of the blood.

After winning the battle against Yan State, Qi Xuan did not choose to get rid of the army and return to the field, but stayed in the army and was promoted for his merits.

When Zhao Jia captured Shenqi's land, Qi Xuan also followed.

Zhao Jia naturally would not remember the grudges of Handan City that day, but instead had a very strong favor to Qi Xuan, the once fat man.

Therefore, Qi Xuan was appointed by Zhao Jia as Deputy General of Pingzhou to help Su Mo defend the city.

Now Qi Xuan's excess fat body has disappeared, but his figure has become extremely well-proportioned. The dark skin caused by excessive sunbathing also makes Qi Xuan look more masculine.

"The people in the city have been completely expelled."

Upon hearing this, Qi Xuan hurriedly stepped forward to answer.

At this time, Qi Xuan knew that the military order was like a mountain, and that the superiority and inferiority in the army were no longer the playboy.

However, Qi Xuan's face was hesitant.

"What's wrong?"

Su Mo saw the expression on Qi Xuan's face and frowned and asked.

Qi Xuan hesitated for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "The young master once said that we should treat the people in Shenqi well. Only in this way can we make them feel a sense of belonging."

"I don't know why the lieutenant moved all the people in the city out of the city, and even forcibly expelled those who did not want to move away."

"Will these people not be resentful?"

"What's more, mobilizing the people to help defend the city can greatly alleviate the pressure of soldiers defending the city, and drive them all out of the city. Wouldn't it weaken yourself?"

Su Mo glanced at Qi Xuan deeply and explained: "Before Ping Zhou, the people here had a deep sense of belonging to Qin."

"If these people are allowed to stay in the city and wait for Meng Ao to lead his troops to attack the city, what should they do if there are people who cause trouble?"

Seeing Qi Xuan want to speak but stop, Su Mo interrupted directly: "Be prepared for anything. Even if the possibility of such a thing happens is extremely small, you must prepare for the future."

"After all, whether Ping Zhou can defend it depends on the life and death of the entire Shenqi land. Even if the people who were driven out hold grudges with me, there will never be any accidents."

When Qi Xuan heard this, he was silent for a while, and then solemnly bowed to Su Mo.

Outside the city, there were 100,000 Qin soldiers.

Meng Ao stood above the chariot, looking at the towering mountains and cities in the distance, without any relaxation on his face.

Meng Ao is now in his sixties and is almost at a rare age since ancient times.

Meng Ao of this age was not suitable for fighting in the north and north, but the elderly Meng Ao still had ambitions.

In addition, after Confessing the death of Confessor, the outstanding generals of Qin were somewhat unable to make ends meet. Meng Ao served in the Qin Dynasty, King Zhaoxiang, King Xiaowen of Qin, and King Zhuangxiang of Qin for three dynasties. He was promoted to the Shangqing, and his influence was even greater than that of the Qin Prime Minister Lu Buwei.

Therefore, almost all the wars related to the fate of Qin are personally led by this veteran.

Next to Meng Ao, there was also a man in his forties who looked sixty-sixth-like, holding a sword and looking into the distance.

"Father, it's easy to defend but difficult to attack when the Zhou Dynasty is pacified. In addition, the Zhao army is prepared for a long time. If you want to attack for a strong force, you may lose a lot of soldiers."

This person is called Meng Wu, and he is Meng Ao's son.

In history, Meng Wu followed Wang Jian to attack Chu twice, first fought to kill Xiang Yan, a famous general of Chu, and captured King Fu Chu of Chu in the second world, and destroyed Chu.

Although both wars were dominated by Wang Jian, Meng Wu also made a lot of efforts.

"It would be a blessing if we could attack and win the Piao Zhou."

Meng Ao glanced at his son, but shook his head, with a little worry on his face.

Meng Ao learned about Zhao Jia in detail and knew that although this person had just won the championship, he was not underestimated, regardless of his wisdom, courage or military tactics.

After half a year of operation, Shenqi's land will not be so easily captured.

Although Meng Ao is now at the Shangqing, even Lu Buwei has to give him three points of weakness, but after experiencing the big defeat not long ago, Meng Ao's power suffered some blow.

In history, Meng Ao captured thirty-seven cities of Zhao State. After Qin Shihuang ascended the throne, he first captured thirteen cities. After Wei Wuji passed away, he captured twenty cities of Wei State one after another.

In history, Meng Ao served in four dynasties and made great achievements in military achievements.

However, now, due to Zhao Jia's appearance, Meng Ao has failed to seize the 37 cities of Zhao State, and has a huge achievement.

Ying Zheng did not succeed to the throne, let alone conquered the cities of South Korea and Wei.

At this time, Meng Ao's prestige was simply not comparable to that of the peak period in history. The big defeat not long ago had some significant impact on Meng Ao.

Meng Ao was originally from Qi. If he wanted the Meng family to continue to gain a foothold in Qin, he could only use war to avenge his previous shame.

Therefore, this battle is not just a war between countries for Meng Ao and even the Montessus.
