On the Wuzhi Peak, Yingbu's face was very pale. He had been stabbed by Guan Ying before, and his body was traumatized. His whole body was extremely uncomfortable. At this moment, his body was slightly relieved after the doctor's diagnosis and treatment.
"Zhong Jin, Zhong Jin!!"
Yingbu called out.
"Your Highness, I am here!"
Zhong Jin quickly walked to Yingbu and bowed.
Yingbu asked: "How many soldiers did we lose in this battle? Have we ever counted the results?"
When Zhong Jin heard this, his face looked very sad.
The losses in this battle were too great.
When Yingbu saw this, his heart sank, and he said again: "Tell me, how many people were killed?"
Zhong Jin sighed and replied: "Your Highness, we lost 3,500 soldiers in this battle. Now the people who have fled back to the mountain are gathered together, and there are still more than 1,500 people. Only these 1,500 people
Most of them were injured, and only a few were intact."
brush!
Yingbu's face became extremely embarrassed.
More than 3,000 people were damaged.
He was entrenched in Wuzhi Peak, and his troops totaled only more than 5,000 people. After such a battle, so many were lost, and he could not bear the result.
Zhong Jin continued: "Huang He died in battle, and his body could not be recovered. Previously, Guan Ying cleaned the battlefield at the foot of the mountain and burned all our soldiers who died in the battle. There should be no bones left of Huang He now."
"ah……"
When Yingbu heard this, he couldn't help shouting.
He felt aggrieved.
This battle was fought too cowardly.
"Guan Ying, I swear that I will crush you to ashes."
Yingbu roared loudly, but he clenched his fists and moved his body, which immediately caused injuries to his body, and his whole body twitched continuously. Under such circumstances, Yingbu grinned in pain, and his expression was extremely painful.
Yingbu regretted and said: "Sir, it's all my fault. If I hadn't been impulsive, this wouldn't have happened. This time, it's all my fault."
Zhong Jin said with relief: "Your Highness, the matter has come to this, and there is nothing we can do. Now, we can only look back and strive for every step in the future, and we must not make any more mistakes."
Ying preached: "Sir, do you have a plan to kill Guan Ying?"
Zhong Jin: "..."
At this moment, Zhong Jin didn't know what to say in his heart. The current situation was very unfavorable. Not to mention counterattacking Guan Ying, even if he could stabilize the status quo, it would be pretty good.
Yingbu said again: "Sir, is there really nothing you can do?"
Zhong Jin: "..."
At this moment, Zhong Jin stared at Yingbu, but his heart was irritable. He really didn't know what to say to such a master. It was just that Yingbu had been kind to him, and he wanted to repay Yingbu's kindness.
When Yingbu saw that Zhong Jin was silent, he could only say: "I also know that under the current circumstances, it is already difficult to defeat Guan Ying. Alas, it is really difficult!"
Zhong Jin had the urge to roll his eyes.
This is nonsense.
Yingbu continued: "Sir, do you really have no plan to turn defeat into victory?"
Zhong Jin thought about it in his mind and said, "There is a way to defeat Guan Ying and take revenge."
"What can I do?" Yingbu asked quickly.
Zhong Jin said: "Under the current circumstances, it is impossible to win by relying on one's own strength. The only way His Highness wants to reverse the situation is to attract foreign aid."
"foreign aid?"
Yingbu asked: "Which foreign aid?"
Zhong Jin said: "Wang Can in the north is a suitable foreign aid. Wang Can occupies the Liangzhou and Sili areas, and his strength is not weak. Guanghan County is close to Liangzhou. If His Highness is willing, it would be quite a task to find foreign aid from Shu.
For easy things.”
Yingbu frowned.
Looking for Wang Can means that he has to be subordinate to others and obey Wang Can.
This made Yingbu a little reluctant.
But Yingbu's hatred for Guan Ying and Liu Bang made him very unwilling.
Ying preached: "I, the king, need to think about this matter."
Zhong Jin said: "Your Highness has been severely injured, so let's rest for the time being. Military affairs will be taken care of by my humble position."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, sir."
Yingbu nodded.
Zhong Jin stood up and left. When he walked out of the room, he summoned the generals in the army, adjusted the generals' assignments, reorganized the soldiers, and encouraged all the soldiers under his command so that the soldiers could station with peace of mind.
As calm gradually returned to the mountain, everything below the mountain fell into calm again.
It's just this situation that makes Zhong Jin very worried. Because Guan Ying clearly took the initiative but didn't take any action. It's precisely this situation that makes people feel hard to figure out.
Zhong Jin could only be more vigilant.
What he can do is to use soldiers to cover up the water and earth.
In the evening, night falls.
Sanshui County, within the city.
At this time, all the troops under Wang Can's command had arrived.
All the broken forces gathered in the city and hid them all. Qifuluo had also arrived under Wang Can and joined Wang Can, Luo Cheng and Mu Guiying.
In the city, in a courtyard.
Wang Can, Luo Cheng, Mu Guiying, Han Xin and Qifuluo, the host and guest took their seats.
Wang Can looked at Luo Cheng, Han Xin and others, and said: "According to our original plan, after gathering our troops, we will wait until both Guan Ying and Yingbu are injured, and then we will reap the benefits."
"It's just the news that came back, but it said that Guan Ying almost didn't lose any soldiers, but he severely wounded Yingbu and killed more than three thousand soldiers under Yingbu's command."
"On the contrary, Guan Ying's strength has hardly been weakened."
"Under such circumstances, once we take action to seize arsenals and granaries, we may be immediately counterattacked by Guan Ying. What do you think of this matter?"
Wang Can looked at everyone and asked for their opinions.
Luo Cheng said: "Your Majesty, my suggestion is to attack the arsenal and granary. Anyway, there are Qifuluo's White Horse Qiang troops, so we used the identity of the White Horse Qiang to attack the arsenal and granary, and we evacuated immediately. Then we escaped into the forest.
Hiding in the middle can also cause trouble for Guan Ying, so that Guan Ying cannot go all out to deal with Yingbu."
Wang Can heard this and thought about it carefully.
There are some flaws in this plan.
Because if you take down the arsenal and granary, you have to hide in the forest, which is meaningless after all. It is nothing more than containing Guan Ying for Yingbu. Even if Guan Ying's troops are short of food for a short time, they can immediately make up for it.
.
Wang Can said: "Guiying, what do you think?"
Mu Guiying said solemnly: "Your Majesty, in my opinion, seizing the arsenal and granary is of little significance. However, if it succeeds, it is feasible to force-feed the infant in a disgusting manner."
Wang Can was noncommittal about this.
This advice is useless.
Wang Can's eyes fell on Han Xin, with an expectant look on his face, and asked: "General Han, what do you think we should do after the situation changes?"
Han Xin's eyes flashed and he said: "Your Majesty, fighting on the battlefield always involves plans that cannot keep up with changes. The situation on the battlefield is ever-changing and difficult to predict. This is a normal thing."
"It is necessary to adapt measures to the times and local conditions."
"So when the situation exceeds our expectations, the plan must be changed accordingly. Guan Ying has won this battle, and Yingbu has been in dire straits. Under such circumstances, I think this has formed an excellent situation.
the result of."
Han Xin looked confident and extremely calm.
He has a strong say in arranging troops and discussing strategies.
He is a master in this field.
Wang Can asked: "What should I do?"
Han Xin explained: "Guan Ying's troops are concentrated under Wuzhi Peak, with the intention of annihilating Yingbu in one go. Therefore, it is not difficult to seize the arsenal and granary at this time."
"We can occupy these two places, obtain weapons from the arsenal, and equip the soldiers of the Baima Qiang tribe. Then, we can take away some of the food and immediately leave the county and hide in darkness."
"This is one consideration."
"The most important thing is that on the other hand, His Majesty wants to recruit Yingbu."
"If Yingbo was at the peak of his strength, recruiting Yingbo would be a difficult task. But now that Yingbo has lost his troops and generals, it is no longer possible to hold Wuzhi Peak. Under such circumstances, recruiting Yingbo is just a matter of effort.
A very simple thing.”
"This is an opportunity created by Guan Ying so that His Majesty can recruit Ying Bu."
Han Xin said: "So the general suggested that we immediately mobilize soldiers tonight to quickly attack the arsenal and seize the food. Then, we fought out of the city overnight and hid in secret. The army hid in secret, and your Majesty sent envoys
, rushed to Wuzhi Peak overnight to recruit Yingbu to surrender in the shortest possible time. Otherwise, Guan Ying mobilized part of his troops to return to the county seat, and Yingbu might not surrender to Your Majesty after the pressure on Yingbu weakened."
After Wang Can listened, he carefully deduced Han Xin's suggestion.
This suggestion is a best of both worlds.
Luo Cheng retorted: "General Han, if we attack the arsenal and granary and weaken Yingbo's pressure, wouldn't it be self-defeating if Yingbo will no longer submit to your majesty?"
Han Xin chuckled and said, "General Luo, are you worrying too much?"
Luo Cheng asked: "Why?"
Han Xin explained: "First, I just mentioned a time difference. We attacked the arsenal and granary overnight and withdrew overnight. After leaving the county, His Majesty sent people to Wuzhi Peak."
"Under such circumstances, it is impossible for Guan Ying to get the news in advance. At least if Guan Ying gets the news, the envoys arranged by His Majesty must have already ascended Wuzhi Peak."
"So, there is no impact."
"Second, although we have great confidence in recruiting Yingbo to surrender, it is not certain to succeed. What if Yingbo is unwilling to submit to His Majesty even to the death? Under such circumstances, we have captured the arsenal and granary, and have enough
With the food and weapons, even without Yingbu, we can develop our own strength."
Han Xin said: "Of course, the best result is still to rely on Yingbo to establish a foothold in Sanshui County. In this way, His Majesty's news will not be leaked, and Guanghan County can be quietly established."
"I see!"
Luo Cheng finally understood this time.
Wang Can was also happy in his heart. Thanks to Han Xin, many things became much easier. He no longer hesitated and said: "General Han, now that we have made a plan, you will have full authority to direct the next war. Now.
In this Sanshui County, your orders are equivalent to my orders."
"I obey the decree!"
When Han Xin heard this, he agreed without hesitation.
He would not be modest about such things, nor would he be modest.
