Chapter 235 Tell the father and king, I will be suppressing thieves!
After Meng Liao left, Ying Gao ordered the shogunate to be sealed off, and no news from the imperial court or the camp outside the pass was received. Only the news from Bai Ze and Jing Yu could be conveyed to the shogunate.
The only people who could enter the shogunate were Jing Yu, Bai Ze, Ying Gao, Meng Liao, Wang Hu and others.
Ying Gao already knew about the failure.
Li Mu was different from the other generals. This man spent most of his time in Daijun, fighting against the Huns. He must be a talented cavalryman. In this era, a single cavalryman was enough to reverse the outcome of a war.
After all, the mobility of the cavalry allows them to be fast, accurate and ruthless!
…
At this time, with Ying Zheng's nod, Huan Lu personally led the camp outside the pass to attack Zhao Guopingyang.
…
"General Ying, news came from Jingyesi: The camp outside the pass captured Pingyang, defeated 50,000 Zhao troops, and beheaded more than 20,000 people." Bai Ze walked into the shogunate and said to Ying Gao.
Ying Gao nodded and said, "It's as expected, continue to pay attention..."
"promise."
Nodding in agreement, Bai Ze turned around and left. At this time, Wang Hu and Meng Liao were both there, looking at the map with solemn expressions.
They all want to get first-hand information about the war, and among the entire Sanchuan County, only Yinggao can meet their demands.
"General Ying, General Fan Yuqi from the middle route has led his army to attack northward, and from the west route has penetrated deep into the hinterland of Zhao State. General from the east route has led an army to attack Wucheng!"
…
In the shogunate, along with news one after another, the map was full of arrows, and on the sand table, the progress of the war was marked one by one.
Although Ying Gao did not go to the battlefield in person, he still knew the war well.
"General Ying, the camp outside the pass is overwhelming. This battle is already a great victory. Could it be that our assumption is wrong?" Meng Liao was young after all. Although he came from a noble family, he couldn't calm down.
Looking up from the sand table, Ying Gao shook his head and said: "There are too many variables on the battlefield. No one can predict the outcome of a war before it is over."
"The war has just begun at this time. It is too early to say victory at this moment!"
…
"General Ying, Huanluan's army conquered Wucheng, beheaded more than 10,000 Zhao soldiers, seized more than a thousand carts of grain, grass and baggage, and have successfully returned to the main camp outside the pass."
When this news came, Ying Gao's eyes were as bright as a torch, but his heart sank. He knew in his heart that the arrogant soldiers would be defeated. Under the victory, the generals of the Qin army would inevitably relax their vigilance.
"General Ying, we have won. The general actually captured Wucheng and attacked all the way to the hinterland of Zhao!" Upon hearing the news, Wang Hu and Meng Liao were both a little excited.
It’s as if they won this battle!
Glancing at Wang Hu and Meng Liao, Ying Gao shook his head. Although these two people had some talent, they were too immature and did not even have an overall awareness.
"Until now, Li Mu has not taken any action..."
Ying Gao said something calmly, and it was like a basin of cold water was poured on the heads of Meng Liao and Meng Liao, and the excitement in their hearts disappeared completely.
"General Ying, what do you mean?"
The pole in his hand fell on the map, and Ying Gao said in a faint tone: "This is Fan Yuqi's position. If this general is Li Mu, he will be killed as soon as he does not come out. Fan Yuqi will be killed here."
kill!"
"In this case, victory or defeat is difficult to determine!"
…
At this moment, Bai Ze just walked into the shogunate. From Bai Ze's face, Ying Gao felt that he was right.
"General Ying, we have just received news that Fan Yuqi's army rushed forward to attack two cities. When he returned to the army, he was intercepted and killed by flying cavalry led by Li Muqin."
"More than 30,000 of our troops died in the battle. The remaining troops are gathering after breaking out of the encirclement. However, the whereabouts of General Fan Yuqi are unknown!"
…
Taking the general's newspaper in his hand, Ying Gao read it over and said in a solemn tone: "After the army captured Pingyang, Fan Yuqi held discussions with Duke Heng and Tu Ju and advocated heading north from the west road to attack Hengshan County of Zhao State, and supported the general to capture it. Wucheng."
Scribing his finger on the map, Ying Gao said word by word: "Fan Yuqi led his army secretly northward from Fenshui River Valley, suddenly turned eastward outside Jinyang Fortress, and penetrated Hengshan County from the southern mountain road away from Jingxing Fortress. Conquer Chili and Yi'an!"
"Judging from the situation between Qin and Zhao, the path chosen by Fan Yuqi is indeed a weakness of Zhao. It is not wrong in itself, but he underestimated Li Mu!"
Hearing this, Meng Liao's heart skipped a beat, and his eyes were as bright as a waterfall: "General Ying, can you explain a few things and let your subordinates and others learn from it?"
Glancing at Meng Liao who looked thirsty for knowledge, Ying Gao nodded, moved his finger, landed on the Fen River Basin, and said: "The defense deployment of Zhao State and Great Qin has always been concentrated in Hedong, Shangdang, and Jinyang. These three places.”
"In the area east of Hedong, Pingyang is the base for the frontier confrontation with Da Qin; in the Shangdang area, the Shangdang Mountains serve as deep barriers, preventing our army from deterring Handan County."
"As for the Jinyang area, Jinyang and Langmeng are used as buffer zones, and Jingxing Fortress is used as a defensive hub to ensure the safety of the northern gate of Zhao State."
"After the Battle of Changping, the Zhao State's military strength was so reduced that it was unable to defend the entire area in this area and could only defend a certain point. This gave Fan Yuqi an opportunity to take advantage of it."
"The main force of the Zhao army in Pingyang was destroyed in the camp outside the pass. This means that as long as they don't go to the party, there will be no obstruction in the entire southern border of Zhao..."
Having said this, when Ying Gao put his finger on Feixia, he said in a solemn tone: "Li Mu has been guarding the Huns in Dai County for many years, and his use of cavalry must be unparalleled in the world."
"In addition, consecutive great victories will inevitably make our soldiers relax their vigilance..."
"In this battle, our army was defeated unjustly..."
…
"General Ying, the latest news: Mr. Lu was hit by three arrows and died in the battle. At the same time, the general Fan Yuqi is missing..."
Just as Bai Ze finished speaking, Tie Ying came in a hurry and said to Ying Gao: "Sir, there is news from the Black Ice Platform that the King and General Wang Jian have rushed to the camp outside the pass."
"At the same time, the king has an order: let the young master immediately go to the camp outside the pass to discuss together..."
…
Hearing this, Ying Gao looked away from the map, a flash of light flashed across his eyes, and he shouted decisively: "Seal the shogunate with an army of ten thousand victors, and no one is allowed to get close."
"promise."
"Wang Hu, declare the Jingxian camp as a military restricted area, and announce to the outside world that our Python Army is destroying an army of thieves. The thieves covet our Zhengzhou coal mine. They are very hateful. No one is allowed to approach until the thieves are eliminated. Anyone who disobeys the order will be punished. Kill without mercy—!”
"promise."
…
At this time, Ying Gao just looked at Tie Ying and said word by word: "Tie Ying, you have also seen that I will not go to the camp outside the pass because I am busy exterminating the bandits."
"Ask Hei Bingtai to tell your father and teacher that when I kill the traitors, I will go north under the stars..."
