Chapter 448: Fierce Soldiers Feishui (Hooked)
In the eastern Yuzhou area of Qin, the official roads, small roads, hillsides, and fields, smoke and dust cover the sky and the sun, and the flags continue. (_Bao & Book & Bar)
Sixty-five thousand so-called Qin army surrounded by eight thousand Yulinlang with distinctive armor. These eight thousand Yulinlangs were surrounded by Fu Jian's tall, spacious and gorgeous dragon chariot. Forty-two Di men in front and eight, the front and back were walking forward with a dragon chariot.
Since Wang Meng's death, Fu Jian gradually fell in love with the luxurious life. This dragon chariot is about a meter wide, with a colorful crown cover on the top, and the tassels are drifting in the wind. The veil is hanging inside the crown cover, which can not only see the scenery around, but also block fly insects and filter dust.
This shows a strange scene. The recruits who have been traveling for hundreds of miles are wearing all kinds of strange things. Some wear cloth clothes, some wear bamboo hats, some wear armor and hair scattered, and some wear only a helmet or a pair of military boots.
The ones in their hands are even more bizarre. There are naturally scimitars and long swords, and there are also many wooden sticks and iron branches. Some people even hold lumps of wood, round sticks for pounding clothes, bamboo sticks for blowing fire, and even rope whips for driving pigs.
In contrast, the Eight Thousand Yulin Langs, each with golden armor, a tall horse with a big head under his crotch, wearing a black cloak, surrounded by the imperial carriage, looking majestic and murderous.
This attitude is very similar. This is not because the emperor commanded the army in person, but like Fu Jian took a group of refugees who fled to the famine to beg for food.
In May, the spring is warm and the buzzing discs are making people sleepy. Although the number of 650,000 soldiers is large, they are silent at this moment, dozing off while walking; the voices are not obvious, and only the wheels are rumbling, donkeys and horses are sniffing, and the squeaking sound of the squeaking carts.
Fu Jian himself was also drowsy on the dragon chariot. The 600,000 new recruits looked like this. He wanted to make them energetic. Each of them had a set of armor and was equipped with standard weapons, but where did they get so much money? Even if they had money, they could not buy 600,000 or 700,000 sets of guys at once. More importantly, these people were brought to the scene and they still had to send them back to farm after scaring the Jin people. This time the expenditure of military rations was almost the result of the guys from the Ministry of Revenue. They could not spend money indiscriminately. If they continued to spend, they could not even guarantee the food for the millions of troops ahead.
Smoke and dust rose in front of him, loud shouts and answers came, awakening the sleepy Fu Jian. He raised his body and sat upright. He looked up and saw five Yulin Lang's personal guards leading a Qin army soldier in black clothes and black armor rushing towards the dragon chariot.
"Report to the Emperor, Marshal Fu Rong, Duke Ping of Shouchunyang, sent someone to send a secret letter."
"Come on!" Fu Jian was shocked.
The personal guard took the letter from the Shouchun messenger, opened the seal and looked at the sunshine. After smelling it, he stuck out his tongue and licked it. Then he presented the letter to the eunuch beside Fu Jian. The eunuch opened the letter and handed it to Fu Jian.
Fu Jiangang read the first paragraph and immediately shouted loudly: "Stop, stop."
The Yulin Lang hurriedly sent an order to stop moving forward, and stopped the dragon chariot under a willow shade to guard the situation. Fu Jian frowned and began to read the letter seriously.
"My Message Fu Rong wishes my emperor peace: I have divided 50,000 troops to garrison the west bank of Luojian after taking down Shouchun last month, blocking the enemy coming to Guangling to support him, and trapping the Jin navy in Jiushi. It is planned to be renovated and cross the Feishui River to rush down the army. However, the sudden change in the situation was caught off guard, so I asked the emperor to inform him."
"In early May, the Jin people attacked Liangcheng's troops at night. They defeated all 50,000 Liangcheng's troops in danger of firearms, killed ten of our generals, and immediately quickly approached the east of Feishui and set up camp to confront me. Our army had not yet been settled, but the road to the south was blocked. I originally wanted to attack in the near future, but accidentally captured the secret envoy from the Jin army to send a letter to him. Only then did they know that the Jin people still had 200,000 backups to reach the east coast of Feishui within ten days; and the generals leading the Jin army this time were not Xie Xuan, who we had inquired about before, but Han Mu, the emperor of Jin."
"In view of all the signs that the Jin army wanted to hold my main force and wait for the arrival of 200,000 new recruits, so they swallowed up the 150,000 troops stationed in Shouchun in one fell swoop. The plan was extremely vicious. I thought about it and thought that there was only one way to reverse the decline."
"Now on the east bank of Feishui, there are very few Jin soldiers, and the only thing they rely on is the terrifying equipment and the power of firearms. I am not unable to fight and defeat them, but I am considering that I am trying to cross the river and attack them at a high price. The main force of our middle lane is only 150,000. Once all of them are exhausted, the elite of our country will be gone. Murong Chui's 30,000 Xianbei and Yao Chang's 20,000 Qiang troops cannot be relied on. Not only that, there is also a disaster for Xiao Wall. Therefore, I beg Your Majesty to speed up the march and arrive at Feishui before the Jin army's support arrives. However, I can use the new soldiers to consume the enemy's main force, defeat them in one blow, and take advantage of the situation to move south. Even if the 200,000 new soldiers of Jin meet head-on, the newly recruited soldiers have an absolute advantage over the newly recruited soldiers. How can they stop my front? In this way, Your Majesty's strategy of "restraining the two wings and advancing the middle lane" should be a perfect result."
"In addition, I have heard from the secret report of the enemy army that the Jin people wanted to attack Chang'an on the west side and lead Your Majesty back to help, delay the time. Please do not deceive him. Chang'an is occupied by Xiangyang for thousands of miles. There are tens of thousands of soldiers in our prefecture in the middle, and the prince in the capital also leads 30,000 troops to take charge. It is safe."
"I think this is the best strategy at the moment. Besides this, I will only stop the troops and stop the battle. I hope Your Majesty will think deeply about the sage. My Fu Rong bows his head and bows again."
Fu Jian finished reading the letter in one breath, and a hint of redness appeared on his pale face. He wanted to curse, but he had no way to speak. He was trying his best to siege Jin and conquer Shouchun, and he was complacent. Although he paid a price of 50,000 people, he killed 30,000 Jin soldiers in Shouchun City and obtained a strategic city, which was a victory in the first battle.
The next path was completely based on his design. Sixty thousand people on the west road successfully restrained the enemy's 100,000 troops, and Liang Cheng also arrived in Luojian smoothly. Everything went so smoothly, but unexpectedly, the situation suddenly changed overnight. Liang Cheng, a fool, relied on Luojian to defend, but failed to stop the Jin army's front. It was Peng Chao's second copy.
Fu Jian still didn't know that Liang Cheng was actually defeated by Liu Laozhi's Five Thousand Northern Prefecture Army. If he knew about this, he might have vomited blood.
"Report to Your Majesty, Luozhou urgently reported it." A general ran over panting.
"Luozhou?" Fu Jian's brows frowned: "I miss."
"Yang Geng, the governor of Luozhou, urgently reported that 30,000 Jin soldiers crossed the Han River and rushed north to attack our Luozhou. The messenger had captured Weixing County before leaving and headed straight to our Luozhou City."
"What?" Fu Jian was shocked and came indeed. The enemy's western generals said in Fu Rong's letter were pretending to attack Chang'an. It seemed to be true, but Luozhou is the gateway to Chang'an. If it is really like Fu Rong said that he ignored it, then the feint attack may not be able to turn the virtual into real and turn it into a direct attack.
Fu Jian cannot take this risk.
"Murong Chui divided his troops to support him, and Murong Wei, Yao and Zhu led 40,000 troops to defend him in front of him."
"Your Majesty, there are 100,000 Jingzhou troops on the west side. General Murong Chui took away 20,000, so there will be 40,000 to 70,000 in front of you. I am afraid that the enemy will break through and attack Luoyang." A minister with his servant quickly spoke.
"What do you think? Do you let it go?"
"The siege of Wei and rescue Zhao may solve the urgent problem." The minister muttered.
Fu Jian suddenly understood why Fu Rong didn't let him save him. As long as the army broke through the natural danger of the Yangtze River in one fell swoop, even if the enemy attacked the city of Chang'an, he had to return to his army to rescue him. It was Gao Ming's plan to siege Wei and save Zhao.
"I ordered the entire army to speed up the pace of the march. You must arrive at Shouchun City within three days. If anyone delays military information, he will be executed immediately." Fu Jian ordered with a high order, turned around and waved his hand, and the army accelerated and advanced southward.
In front of the Jin army camp, on the banks of the Qingshui River, green willows swaying and whispering in the drizzle.
The drizzle of cow-like raindrops fell from the sky. Two men wearing straw raincoats and bamboo hats were sitting on the big rocks by the river, fishing. A hundred steps behind them, dozens of guards stood in the wind and rain, without a moment of sight.
"Xiao Xuan, after this battle is over, we will have to rest for a while. We are so tired." Han Mu spoke.
"Third brother, I feel the same way. I just want to find a quiet place to sleep for three or five days, fish and practice martial arts every day. That is the life of a god." Xie Xuan sighed.
Han Mu stared at the lake and smiled: "Xiao Xuan seems to have family legacy, and he also likes a quiet and mysterious lifestyle. Unfortunately, in this chaotic world, you and I may not have free time."
Xie Xuan said: "The third brother is wise and powerful. The Great Jin Dynasty has shown unprecedented prosperity in recent years. After this war, we must sweep the Qin land and complete the great cause of great unification. Wouldn't the world be peaceful in the future?"
Han Mu laughed and said, "Xiao Xuan, I am so old, why are they still immature? The country and the country are like a piece of fat. No one can hold him in a bowl for a long time, and they always fight for each other and snatch him. Do you think that the unification of the world is the peace of the world? As the saying goes, the world will be divided for a long time, and we will be separated for a long time. What we are doing now is to let the turbulent and divided world unite, and for as long as possible. Yu Gong said that it is for the people of the world to not be poisoned by the war. In private, we are responsible people, and we can also take a break from busy enjoying life. Do you think so?"
Xie Xuan nodded and said, "The third brother's words do make sense. My sister scolded me for not improving after sending a letter last time. I will never learn the third brother's way of thinking, so I can only learn some basics."
Han Mu said with interest: "Oh? Did Daoyun write a letter to scold you? What did you say?"
Xie Xuan learned from Xie Daoyun and said calmly: "Why don't my brother be diligent? Is it because he is stupid or has too many common things?"
Han Mu laughed and sighed: "Your sister can see it, but who said we are men? She can let go of mundane affairs, but we can't let go of even if we want to."
Xie Xuan nodded and said, "Fishing, fishing, fishing, fishing a few big carp with dried and sent back to health. Let my wife and sister taste the fish on the battlefield."
Han Mu smiled and said, "This is the truth. Listen to my poem. Egrets fly in front of Xisai Mountain; peach blossoms flow in the water and mandarin fish are fat. Green bamboo hat and green straw raincoat; there is no need to return when the wind and drizzle is slanting."
Xie Xuan Youran was fascinated, and suddenly felt the fishing line in his hand tugging. He quickly lifted the fishing rod, and a big fish jumped in the air.
