When the army left Jinyang, he counted the soldiers under his command and found that including the newly recruited soldiers and civilians, there were only 30,000 soldiers at his disposal. Han Xin couldn't help but cursed.
"The counselors of the Wing Camp have really ruined my life!"
From March to June, when the main force of the Qin army in the south gradually pressed against Chu, the situation on the northern battlefield also changed dramatically.
At the end of March, Zhao general Li Zuoche made a decision. The 40,000 Zhao troops who were trapped in Taiyuan County and could be surrounded by Han Xin at any time launched an attack on Jingxing. After defeating the thousands of troops deployed by Chen Sheng, they entered
Hengshan County was involved in "rebellion".
At the same time, Chen Yu also summoned the Hengshan Zhao people to oppose Chen Sheng in Kuxing. Under attack from both sides, Chen Sheng was defeated by Li Zuoche and had to abandon Hengshan County, go north to Yan territory, and separatize Yi County, the capital of Yanxia.
There are gains and there are losses. The direct consequence of this is that Zhao State completely abandoned Taiyuan County, and Han Xin took over it without bloodshed, and once again captured a large number of Zhao soldiers who had previously escaped in Changping.
In April, after Han Xin occupied Taiyuan, he added troops to Jingxing and sent Guan Ying, who was promoted to "Captain" after seizing Lishi, to leave Taihang east. It turned out that Xia Gong had left from the east of Hangu Pass, and Hanoi Zhao
When Sima Yan was surrendered to the Qin Dynasty, Han Xin wanted Guan Ying to go north from Hanoi. If so, Li Zuoche would have to face a pincer attack from the north, west and south.
This is the plan to completely destroy Zhao State.
However, just as Guan Ying, Zhou Bo and others arrived in Hanoi with the cavalry troops from Xin Qinzhong, they received an order from Luoyang from Duke Xia, asking him to attack Dongjun from Baimajin and cooperate with Dongmen Bao, the Marquis of Guannei.
, destroy Wei first!
This is the strategy formulated by Xia Gong and Yu Yiying. The theory sounds good. "Puyang's north and south tunnels, now Dongjun, are the heart and belly of the world. Destroying Wei and taking Dongjun will break the backbone of Shandong!"
"
But in Han Xin's view, Chu and Wei can be eliminated by relying on the main force of the Central Plains. He can mobilize his troops and generals to focus on sweeping the Zhao Dynasty in the north and surrendering the so-called "Fusu" King Zhao regime. It is said that the actual person in power
, is Liu Ji, an old official of Xia Gong and a native of Peixian County...
What's more, Han Xinsu had a rift with Dongmen Bao and transferred his subordinates to Dongmen Bao. It looked like Duke Xia was trying to deviate from the generals' battle to destroy the country.
Same.
"In fact, it was me who annihilated the main force of the Wei army in Hedong, but in the end, the name of destroying Wei was easily obtained by Dongmen Bao." Han Xin was indignant about this.
However, even though Han Xin was the commander-in-chief of the entire Hebei War Zone, the priority of military orders was still under the Duke of Xia. The Duke of Xia had already made up his mind and forced Guan Ying to attack Wei. Han Xin suddenly lost more than 10,000 men, and he had to divide his troops to occupy Taiyuan.
, Shangdang, Hanoi, there will be much fewer soldiers to attack Handan, and his plan to destroy Zhao will undoubtedly be greatly delayed.
Han Xin couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable. He couldn't complain that the invincible Duke Xia "can't fight", so his anger was transferred to the guys in Wing Camp, thinking it was their bad idea. Even while cursing, he blurted out a
A new idiom created by oneself.
"That generation talks about war on paper! It's really like Zhao Kuo!"
Guan Ying then gave up on going north. In late May, he forcibly crossed Baimajin and launched a fierce attack on Wei, which had only one Dongjun left. In mid-June, he joined Dongmen Bao in Puyang, the capital of Wei...
…
In everyone's eyes, Guan Ying is a star that has risen rapidly this year.
"After all, he saved my little master..." Someone in the army whispered, but they didn't mean to look down upon him, but were very envious of him.
Because of his contribution to protecting Xia Gong's eldest son Polu in the North, Guan Ying, who was little-known in the past, has been labeled as a "big son party". Guan Ying's rapid promotion is certainly due to a series of merits, but it must also be related to it.
related.
In July and August last year, during the battle to rescue Xinqinzhong, he covered the transfer of Shuofang soldiers and civilians to Henan. Afterwards, he went to Xianyang to receive a knighthood, and became the fifth official and military commander in one breath. He was also summoned by Xia Gong alone and praised him for his "sharpness"
, can be the vanguard of the army", so he handed over the chariot and cavalry troops organized by the people of the New Qin Dynasty to his command, and then left Zhang Han's command and was transferred to Han Xin's service.
In the winter of the first year of the regency, during the Battle of Hedong, Guan Ying crossed the river and captured Jiangyanchi, conquered several counties, and cooperated with Han Xin to outflank the Puban Wei army. He achieved a great victory and was promoted to captain, and to the title of right concubine.
After the beginning of spring, Guan Ying returned to Shangjun and crossed the river from Lishi to attack Zhao. Although he did not achieve great success, he defeated Lou Fanqi who was subordinate to Zhao army. He gave birth to ten generals in Loufan and beheaded two thousand in the field. He was promoted to the rank of Zuo again.
Even.
But now, Guan Ying, who a year ago was still a small cavalry general with only two hundred people under his command, could not have imagined that he would now have achievements of the level of "destroying the country" in front of him...
"Puyang will fall at dusk, and Wei will perish!"
Dongmen Bao is gearing up. Although the six kingdoms are broken, none of them have been destroyed by the Qin army so far. Even Han Xin has only annihilated the main force of Zhao and Wei. Now this honor will fall on him.
Therefore, Dongmen Bao ordered his soldiers to set up siege equipment and attack Puyang day and night. This big city named "Diqiu" was originally the capital of Wei State. Later Wei was vassalized by Wei State and moved to Yewang, and Qin State seized this land.
Later, it was named "Dongjun" because it lived east of the river. Throughout the reign of Qin Shihuang, the most famous thing about this county was that a meteorite fell in Dongjun in the thirty-sixth year!
The seven words "The First Emperor died and the earth was divided" carved on the stone show that there are many people in this county who hate Qin. It was they who supported Zhang Er and Wei Bao and restored Wei for the second time.
Now, these die-hard anti-Qin elements are trapped in Puyang City, led by Zhang Er, the prime minister of Wei, who has been running eastward, in a final fight against the trapped beast...
Now Zhao State to the north of the river and Chu State to the south are unable to protect themselves. Peng Yue in the east has recently defected to Qin. Puyang is isolated and helpless. The only variable is that there is Zhang Ao, the son of Zhang Er, in Dunqiu a hundred miles to the north.
, and the more than ten thousand light knights armed by Mr. Wei ignorantly.
Dongmen Leopard looked down upon them: "I wish Zhang Ao and Wei Wuwu would come to my aid so that the remnants of Wei could be completely annihilated. What can they do?"
Guan Ying was careful, but reminded Dongmen Bao: "I dare to speak to you, after I crossed east from Baimajin, I heard the locals talk about an incident in the past. The trapped beasts were still fighting. If they were desperate, they must be on guard...
"
…
"Zhao and Chu are both fighting on their own. They can't protect themselves. They can't save Wei. What can we do?"
In Dunqiu City, Wei Wuwu, the grandson of Lord Xinling, had no idea.
Since the withdrawal of troops from Xihe last year, the Six Kingdoms have been heading toward destruction step by step, especially the Wei State. Zhang Er and his son coveted Hedong, Shangdang, and sent troops there, thinking they could hold on for a while. Unexpectedly, within a few months, the main force was lost, and the Qin army
The attack has arrived at Dongjun.
Collapse is like a river bank in midsummer, collapsing little by little, and eventually being invaded by water.
The reason why Wei survived was because the Qin army's Xihe division brutally retaliated in the east of Hedong, massacring Wei soldiers and killing more than 20,000 prisoners. This made the light knights in Wei dare not surrender even though they were trapped after hearing the news.
The city is in danger, but we still fight to the death.
Now that both the Prime Minister and the King of Wei are trapped in the city, Wei Wuzhi has gathered several county knights, but they only have more than 10,000 people, and they are a ragtag group with little training. They have to face more than 30,000 Qin troops and feel that they are invincible.
There was a precedent of the Qin army massacring the Wei people, so he did not dare to surrender lightly. In desperation, Wei Wuwu was already thinking about crossing the river and seeking refuge with the Zhao State, which was still struggling to survive.
Zhang Ao was furious: "You are the son of Wei, and you have inherited the name of Lord Xinling, but my father was just an ordinary Wei citizen back then. Now my father is willing to live and die with Wei, but you want to abandon him. What's the truth?"
"
Wei Wuzhi argued: "I will not be able to save Puyang until I cross, and I will only destroy the dead army. If we blindly save it, it will be like giving meat to a hungry tiger. What's the point?"
"No, there is another way!"
Zhang Ao took Wei Wuzhi to the top of Dunqiu City and pointed to the Taotao River more than ten miles away to the west.
A hundred miles south of Dunqiu, there are sections of thick gullies that separate the plain from the river. It is midsummer, and hundreds of rivers are flooding the river. The river water has surged, and the turbid water has soaked into the gullies and is constantly lapping - this is not only
It was the barrier built by Qi and Zhao in the past, and it was also a shackle to prevent the sleeping dragon that stretched thousands of miles from becoming angry again.
And if you look carefully, you will find that in some sections of the river, the water level of the river is already higher than the plain...
"Do you really want to..."
Wei Wuzhi suddenly understood Zhang Ao's plan and looked horrified.
"This is the only way left."
Zhang Ao's eyes were sinister and his words were decisive:
"Since manpower can no longer save my father, we cannot save Wei."
"Then we can only rely on the power of nature, use water instead of soldiers, and die together with them. Let alone 30,000, even 100,000, they will all be buried in the belly of the fish!"
…
ps: Well, there is only one chapter today, and besides...
Good news, good news! The "Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms" next door has 10 million words. You read that right, 10,000,000 words, everyone is celebrating!
This is not a promotion of a book, it is not a promotion of a book. The book is watery and the author is poisonous. In order to survive the catastrophe, he has to sacrifice 73 books in one go. I am also on the list, so don’t read it.
