In the Qin Palace, Ying Ziyi read the military report presented by Nanyang Shou softly, but the faces of the people at the head of the group were a little surprised. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Zhang Liang, what do you think?"

Ying Ziyi put down the military newspaper in his hand, looked at Zhang Liang, and asked.

The three masters of Confucianism are now all officials in the court. Fu Nian, Yan Lu is a doctor, and Zhang Liang is a close minister next to Ying Ziyi.

"Somewhat unexpected!" Zhang Liang has an elegant temperament, picturesque eyebrows and eyes, just standing there quietly can attract the attention of many palace laves.

Ying Ziyi raised his hand and motioned for him to continue.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Zhang Liang bowed his hand, and then said: "Historically, the princes wanted to enter Guanzhong in the west, and they all passed through Sanchuan and passed through Hangu. The Wuguan in the northwest of Nanyang is not so significant. Now the rebels in the east are gathering strength and preparing to break through in two directions: Xingyang in the west and Handan in the north. Nanyang was not their main target, and at this time, Xiang Shaoyu had 50,000 troops and invaded Nanyang, which seemed to be somewhat discordant in the overall deployment of the entire rebel army. ”

"Oh? The meaning of the ovary is that Xiang Shaoyu's action is completely his own initiative, not Fusu's meaning! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty! Among the many rebels, the Xiang clan has always been self-respecting. Fusu usurped the throne as the emperor, Feng Changwenjun was the king of Chu, and the restoration of the Chu State Sheji did not mean to check and balance the Xiang family. It's just that the Xiang family is in the Chu land, with deep roots and lush leaves, and the puppet emperor Fusu can't help it for a while. Wancheng, the capital of a large county, has dozens of cities. It is not easy for the rebels to attack, and if they are abandoned, they have to worry about the future. If the army is raised and taken, it is afraid that the logistics will be insufficient. If the teacher is deviated, it will be useless to work the teacher and move the people. Therefore, from Nanyang to take the military pass, this way, the rebels do not take it. ”

"The meaning of the ovary is not that this young feather is a brave and unscrupulous person." Ying Ziyi said with a smile.

Of course, this is just a joke. Zhang Liang has a special identity and is quite related to the rebels in Kwantung today. He once helped Xiang Shaoyu and Jing Tianming, and taught the two of them. For Xiang Shaoyu, above this hall, no one knows more than Zhang Liang.

"On the contrary, the minister thinks that this young feather has a long-term vision and is not within the reach of a rebel army." Zhang Liang's eyes lit up and said. "Compared to Xingyang, Handan. A county in Nanyang seems to be insignificant, but it is also a large county with more than 200,000 households and more than 1 million mouths, and it is a good place to garrison troops. If they are captured by the rebels, then their troops can go straight to the pass and deter the pass. Even, you can raise a partial division, find Han water to invade Hanzhong, Bashu, and make the deployment of the empire chaotic. Nanyang County seems to be insignificant, but it is the key to the overall deployment of the empire. If we lose, we will not only have to fight on the third or even fourth front, but the logistical supply will also be prolonged, and at the same time the war will be extremely unfavorable, the empire's plan to settle fields will also be destroyed. ”

"The minister agrees with the proposal of the ovary." Chen Ping stood up and said in support. "If the Xiang clan is allowed to gain a firm foothold in Nanyang, we will fall into an extremely passive situation."

Ying Ziyi looked at Chen Ping and asked, "Do you have any strategies to retreat from the enemy?" ”

Chen Ping smiled and said, "Among the many rebels, the Xiang clan has always been unique, and it is extremely united internally. However, Xiang Shaoyu's dispatch of troops this time was obviously not Xiang Liang's intention. We can have people spread the words of the Xiang clan in Chen County, and then riot with fine horses. Cut off the supply of the rebels. Xiang Shaoyu has been invincible for a long time, and Xiang Liang will inevitably ask Xiang Shaoyu to withdraw in order to prove his innocence. In this way, we can win without a fight. ”

Ying Ziyi thought for a while and said, "This plan is feasible. ”

It's just that as soon as he finished speaking, another urgent report came from outside the palace.

Ying Ziyi took the military report handed over by the internal supervisor, frowned, and there were still a little blood stains on the edge of the fire paint seal.

Ying Ziyi opened it and muttered: "On the tenth day of the first month of this month, the leader of the Xiang clan led 3,000 people to attack Lixian County. The city was broken, and the county was killed. The next day, the traitor Yingbu attacked Ye, Ye County ordered a death battle, did not ke, led the army to defend the south, and was defeated by the two thieves of Ji and Yu. The traitors are strong, and the ministers will defend Yangcheng to the death, so please send reinforcements as soon as possible. ”

"It seems that this Xiang Shaoyu only took one day to conquer Li County. It seems that this time, it is not so easy to deal with? Ying Ziyi smiled and put the urgent report on the table.

Lixian is the Nanyang barrier, while Yexian is an important place for soldiers. These two places were lost, and the north gate of Nanyang was opened. If Yangcheng is lost again, then Xiang Shaoyu's army can directly invade the hinterland of Nanyang and besiege Wancheng.

Chen Ping bowed his head slightly, since Xiang Shaoyu had already conquered the pinch and Ye, it was naturally impossible for him to implement the plan just now. Whether it is operational, or time, it is already too late.

"Your Majesty, the prickly and the leaves have been lost, Yangcheng must not be able to protect it alone, Your Majesty should send a large army to rescue as soon as possible." Chen Ping raised his hand and said.

Ying Ziyi thought about it and looked at the two military newspapers in her hand. The names mentioned above, almost all of Xiang Shaoyu's team have appeared, but they are the only names that are missing.

Since Xiang Shaoyu's offensive is so rapid, it must have been planned for a long time, why is such a vital person missing? No, there's something wrong with that.

While Ying Ziyi was thinking, there was another urgent report outside.

"Nanyang urgently reported that Yangcheng had been lost, and the rebels were marching towards Wancheng."

Ying Ziyi took the military report, opened it, and led more than 1,200 horsemen, taking the southeast desert road of Yangcheng, and detouring behind Yangcheng. Under the attack of the two phases, Yangcheng was lost, and the general was killed in battle. Now Xiang Shaoyu's army has been heading towards Wancheng.

Ying Ziyi touched his lower forehead, and the three battle reports were sent in a row, not far apart, which showed the speed of the opponent's siege. The important thing is that Ying Ziyi has already felt Xiang Shaoyu's faint intention to declare war.

"If Wancheng is lost again, then Nanyang will fall, what are your plans to quell the chaos?" Ying Ziyi asked.

"Your Majesty!" Han Xin stepped forward and said, "It will take at least five or six days for the army in Guanzhong to reach Nanyang. As long as Wancheng can hold on, the siege of Nanyang will inevitably be solved. ”

At this time, only the army resisted, and the rest of the strategies could not be saved.

Ying Ziyi nodded and said, "Wancheng is a big city, with abundant materials, it shouldn't be difficult to stick to these days." So be it! Han Xin, you transfer 10,000 horses from Shanglin Yuan to ride out of Wuguan and rescue Wancheng. ”

"The last general obeys!" Han Xin knelt down on one knee, his eyes full of eagerness, and said.

"Okay, let's discuss Nanyang's reply after the war!" After Han Xin led the tiger talisman and walked out of the hall, Ying Ziyi said slowly.

Everyone looked at each other, could it be that His Majesty was so sure that Han Xin would be able to repel Xiang Shaoyu?

"Your Majesty!" Xiao He said with his hand.

Ying Ziyi knew what they were thinking, raised her hand to stop him from what he was going to say, and said, "Don't worry. These 10,000 cavalry are all new-style cavalry, and Han Xin is proficient in the art of war, which is enough to quell the chaos. It's just that this rebel invasion, how to restore production in Nanyang after the war, do you have a plan? ”

"Your Majesty, Nanyang is an important place, and heavy troops should be sent to Tuntian. If you retreat, you can defend, and if you advance, you can capture Yingchuan. Xiao He said.

Ying Ziyi nodded and said, "Is Wang Li in Jiuyuan at this moment?" ”

"Lord Wang Li is in Jiuyuan at the moment, assisting General Meng Tian in the border."

"That's good, Feng Wang Li is the general of Zhennan, recalled Xianyang, led an army of 100,000, and entered Tunnanyang."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Everyone bowed their hands and spoke.

…….

Nanyang.

Xiang Shaoyu rode on a horse and marched on the gallop road. Next to him was a dragon with long fiery red hair. At this time, Long He smiled and said, "Haha! After the destruction of Yangcheng, only Wancheng was left in Nanyang. Shaoyu, let's just ignore Wancheng, anyway, they were beaten and cowered in the city, and they didn't dare to come out. We might as well knock on the pass, in this way, we will definitely be able to make a name for ourselves in the world! ”

Xiang Shaoyu shook his head and said, "Nanyang Shou is not an easy guy to deal with. After the destruction of Yangcheng, he shrank his forces and hoarded them in Wancheng. If we leave him behind to attack Wuguan, he will surely attack from behind. Then we will be defeated by the enemy on our backs. ”

Although he knew that what Xiang Shaoyu said was right, Long Ji still had a stupid expression on his face. They sent troops this time to conceal Xiang Liang's private troops.

At this moment, all the princes supported Su as the emperor, and the Xiang family was naturally no exception. Fusu's main direction of attack is now Xingyang and Handan. It's just that in these two places, the empire has heavy troops stationed. They made several tentative attacks, but they were all repulsed.

Grain, grass and armaments were mobilized one after another, and Fusu was accumulating strength, hoping to complete the battle. And at this moment, the battle to attack Nanyang is somewhat extraneous.

However, they charged forward all the way, and even counted several cities, but it was a rare victory. Naturally, there is also the obsequious flattery of other princes. But overall, Chen County is quite restrained.

However, for Fusu, his courtiers hid from themselves and were private. This is not just as simple as supporting the army and respecting himself, this is simply not taking him seriously.

In fact, Xiang Shaoyu really didn't take him seriously.

No matter how benevolent he is, the mustard in Fusu's heart has been born. The reason why there was no seizure was undoubtedly because the Xiang clan called Hou Dongnan and had a very heavy army, which was difficult to deal with for a while.

"This time we mobilized troops, Uncle Liang was already extremely dissatisfied. Shaoyu, we won't have a good time after we go back! Long He said with a bitter face.

"No, after conquering Wancheng, we will be stationed there. I'm not going back. Xiang Shaoyu said affirmatively.

"Why?" Long asked. You must know that if you stay here for a long time, you will inevitably be besieged by the Qin army.

"First, Nanyang is the old land of our Chu State, Yingdu is the south of Nanyang, and King Xianhuai is even more obsessed with Wuguan. For us Chu people, Nanyang is a scar. When I recapture this place, I will show the world that our Chu State is determined to destroy Qin. ”

Xiang Shaoyu rode on the horse and said slowly. When Long heard this, he nodded yes again and again.

"Come on! Nanyang County is Yingziyi's weakness, as long as it is opened here, it can threaten Wuguan. As soon as the Wuguan Pass is broken, our army can reach Guanzhong, garrison troops to dominate, and march to Xianyang. It is impossible for Ying Ziyi not to know this. We are here, it is like a sharp blade, so that Yingzi Yi can't sleep peacefully. ”

Long He said: "Yes, at this moment, in the land of the Three Jins, the two armies are holding each other. If Yingziyi is sent to the soldiers in the pass, once Xingyang is in a hurry, he will not be able to respond. And we are different. ”

Xiang Shaoyu looked at Long Ji's appearance, smiled, and said in a long voice: "Three!" ”

"And three?" Long He turned his head and looked at Xiang Shaoyu with a surprised expression.

"Of course!" Xiang Shaoyu said: "Yingziyi supports the people of Xingyang and has the Rao of Handan, but why didn't he send troops to the east to recover the lost territory? ”

"Your Majesty has an army of 200,000, plus the soldiers and horses of the princes from all walks of life, there are also 450,000. Ying Ziyi is afraid that it will be difficult to recover it for a while, so she is waiting. Long Ji guessed.

"How could Yingziyi be afraid!" Xiang Shaoyu said disdainfully: "He not only pardoned 700,000 prisoners in Guanzhong, but also gave amnesty to the world, dismissed the county soldiers and exiles, and allowed them to return to their hometowns." It's just that now that things are holding each other, how can these people go back? Most of them were in the fields, and the empire even helped them marry wives and have children. Just imagine once they put down roots locally. What happens after that? ”

"Shaoyu, what do you mean, Ying Ziyi is ready to accumulate strength and go east in one fell swoop." Long He said with a surprised expression.

"That's right, maybe you won't be able to see it in a year or two, but what if it's five or ten years from now? Fusu occupies a rich land in the east, has a very heavy population, and has the help of Qi and Chu. However, within the territory, the princes of all walks of life have different intentions, and it is difficult to unify. Compared with Ying Ziyi, it is more than a step worse. Xiang Shaoyu looked at Wancheng, which faintly appeared in the field of vision in the distance, and said: "Conquering Nanyang will greatly consume the power of the empire." The empire has been built to close the warehouse, and has consumed a large amount of grain reserves. Once we gain a foothold in Nanyang, they will either lead their troops south to hold on to us, or they will hoard heavy troops at Wuguan. Either way, the empire will be unable to make ends meet and fall into a state of reckless militarism. ”

Long He had a look of sudden realization and said, "So that's the case. ”

"Little Brother Xiang, your eldest brother and I are here, and I haven't come out to greet you yet."

In the distance, a loud roar was heard.

"Who are you? Dare to be rude to Lord Hou! Xiang Shaoyu's personal guard stopped the cloth-clothed young man in front of him and scolded angrily.

Xiang Shaoyu waved his hand and stepped forward quickly, and the sergeant in front separated the two sides. Xiang Shaoyu walked in front of the cloth-clothed boy and said, "Why did you kid come?"

"You conscienceless." Jing Tianming looked at Xiang Shaoyu and complained, "How many supplies did our Mo family help you transport, and how many Qin army scouts did we clear. I'm a giant, and I'm helping you before, and you still complain about me coming late? ”

"Okay, okay, I know you've worked hard, okay!" Xiang Shaoyu jumped off the horse, patted Jing Tianming's shoulder, and said.

"Look! What is that! ”

With a shout, everyone looked back and saw a woman in blue standing on the top of the mountain, shrouded in clouds and mist, like a fairy in a legend.

"Shi Lan?"

Xiang Shaoyu's face was still surprised. He left behind the army and Jing Tianming and rushed over. (To be continued.) )
