Chapter 271: On the occasion of life and death
(1st Update)
The situation in the war of Chu is quite severe, Jing Heng once again decided to find a way to exterminate the source of the river, the geographical situation in the west of West Chu is sinister, since ancient times it has been a land of southern barbarians, there are many cave masters hidden in it, they rely on the familiar terrain from time to time to come out to kill for a while, to wait for work, Dahuan's army can not please good! The Vachu army was faced with a dilemma. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
One day, Jingheng summoned the generals of all departments to gather in the camp of the Chinese army to discuss countermeasures, and finally came up with two methods, on the one hand, to cut off the material exchanges between Langzhou and other places, and to force them to sit on the mountain and eat empty, and on the other hand, take advantage of the dry climate in winter to carry out fire attacks.
This method is very effective, Jing Heng has forced some of the cave masters to come out and surrender, there are one and two, the surrenderers have been hospitalized by the Huan army, this matter has greatly shaken Jiang Yuan's military heart, in addition, Jing Heng used these surrendered cave masters, step by step, with the way of others to govern their bodies, and finally saw the effect.
This was the first time Jing Heng had fought with the Southern Barbarians, and he also realized that these bandits in the southern hills and mountains were not easy to conquer, and finally he made a decree, all the cave masters offered their respects, and they were not to blame for the past, and the court was appeased and treated preferentially, and all the spearheads were pointed at Jiangyuan.
In the end, the Langzhou regime in Jiangyuan was in crisis, and Jing Heng personally led the army to march to Langzhou by land and water from the three directions of Lizhou, Yiyang, and Yuezhou!
Jingheng crossed the Yangtze River from Jiangling, camped in Lizhou, and overlooked Langzhou from the north.
When Yun Qihua's Yuezhou Navy and Yun Mu's Yiyang Army were fighting with Jiangyuan's army, Jing Heng in the north was not in a hurry, he was thinking about a problem.
"Jiang Yuan has been in Langzhou? Didn't you take the jade seal to transfer the army of Sichuan and Shu? Jing Heng asked Qin Xin,
Qin Xin shook his head, "Jiang Yuan has never left Langzhou!" ”
"No, Jiang Yuan must have avoided our eyeliner and secretly contacted Sichuan Shu," Jing Heng pondered, and then looked at Mo Li after speaking, "Is there any movement on the Sichuan Shu side?" Did you send someone to check it? ”
Mo Li replied: "After the check, we should all return to the state area safely!" ”
"Okay, without further ado, it's already spring, and if it drags on any longer, there will be more rain, which is not good for our army, pass the order to go down, and attack Langzhou tomorrow!"
"Yes!"
----------------------------------
Luoyang Kyoto will receive good news from the front every day, and a group of ministers are smiling, and they will capture the capital of Western Chu in half a year, and taking Langzhou is just around the corner. Jing Yao and the prime ministers of the three provinces discussed in Zhongshu Province, and they were relieved to hear the good news, these days the front line is tight, and they are also very difficult in terms of material supply.
"It's been hard to take care of Shangshu these days! When Your Majesty triumphs, the old man must show you your first credit! Meng Yan said to Gu Kaizhi, the head of the household department,
Gu Kaizhi hurriedly bowed his hand, "Don't dare, don't dare, Meng Xiang tortured me, for the sake of Fa Xichu, Your Majesty started to prepare three years ago, I just acted according to Your Majesty's orders, although I am tired these days, I also rely on the dispatch of the prince, Meng Xiang and Chu Xiang!" ”
"Haha, don't be humble!" Meng Yan laughed, appreciating Gu Kaizhi's unarrogant bearing,
"Gu Shangshu is right, it's been really hard work for the past six months!" Chu Xu glanced at Jing Yaodao, who was sitting upright,
"Yes, Lord Wang, I won't tell you anything, at the beginning of your regency, the old man was still worried, after all, you have not been involved in political affairs before, but I didn't expect that the prince would also sort out all the affairs of the court and China for most of the past half a year!" Meng Yan said with a smile,
Not to mention, after Jing Yao was imprisoned in the country, he did not have the idle appearance of the previous game life, but was cautious and restrained, calm and unhurried, and everyone was very appreciative when they saw him standing tall and graceful!
After listening to the compliments of the two prime ministers, Jing Yao wiped his sweat and smiled bitterly: "Adults, don't say such things, Jing Yao is walking on thin ice every day, for fear of making mistakes and living up to the expectations of the imperial brother, it all depends on the hard work of all the adults!" Jing Yao bowed,
Everyone returned the salute, "Haha, the prince is polite!" It's our job! ”
It's just that as soon as everyone's laughter fell, the right attendant of the military department hurriedly ran from outside,
"My lord, eight hundred miles is urgent!"
Hearing such a panicked voice, the ministers hurriedly got up and looked at him one after another.
"What's the matter!" Jing Yao hurriedly asked,
The right squire gasped and said, "Lord Wang, my lords, the Chinese army is trapped!" ”
"What!" Everyone mentioned the throat in their hearts, and the Chinese army naturally referred to Jing Heng's army, if something happened to him, even if he pacified Xichu, it would not be interesting!
"Hurry up and tell me more!" Meng Yan pointed at him and said,
The squire of the military department hurriedly informed everyone of the reason for the incident, it turned out that after Jing Heng led the army to attack Langzhou, he was like a bamboo, and when he attacked Jiangyuan in a battle, he thought that he could trap Jiang Yuan to death, but unfortunately the sky was not beautiful, and it rained heavily to save Jiang Yuan, but Jing Heng was trapped.
Not only that, after Xia Ronghua was disguised from Langzhou, he mobilized the Sichuan and Shu army, and the patriarch of the Wang clan led by him quietly pretended to be a caravan and broke into pieces, went straight down the Yangtze River from the upstream, and attacked Jing Heng's Chinese army from the rear.
Due to the heavy rain, Yun Qihua's Yuezhou naval army was forced to retreat to the Yuanjiang area, and was ambushed by the Langzhou army.
In other words, the original three-way army formed a corner with each other and supported each other, but now it is divided by the Langzhou army and falls into a quagmire!
"You mean Your Majesty is under siege?" Meng Yan asked in a trembling voice,
"Yes!"
"Who is the leader of the Nawang clan headed by Sichuan Shu?"
"Zhuge Ke!"
A trace of horror flashed in Meng Yan's eyes when he heard this, and he let out a long sigh, "I have heard of this person, his father was defeated in the hands of Brother Yun, but I didn't expect that it was they who supported the founding of Sichuan and Shu back then, and the Zhuge clan was in business, no wonder His Majesty has not been able to find them for so many years, so it is indeed troublesome!" ”
Hearing this, Chu Xu stood up and said, "Lord Wang, we must send troops to save Your Majesty!" ”
As soon as these words came out, he was immediately slapped by Meng Yan, "Chu Xiang can't help but be in a hurry!" ”
"Your Majesty is in distress, are we waiting here?" Chu Xu's voice was raised a little higher,
Meng Yan looked cold, "No matter what, let's not act rashly, Your Majesty once said when he left Beijing that without his jade order, the six guards in the capital cannot be moved!" ”
Seeing that Meng Yan was categorical, Chu Xu flicked his sleeves and went out angrily!
Meng Yan looked at his back with a thoughtful expression, what did Chu Xu have in mind when he was in a hurry to lead the troops to the battle? Does he believe that he really wants to save Jing Heng?
The situation is not good! Meng Yan was secretly worried, and then he comforted the courtiers: "Don't worry, Your Majesty has been crisscrossing the territory for so many years, and he has never encountered any difficulties, he will definitely be able to turn evil into good fortune!" ”
All the ministers nodded but didn't dare to say anything, this time it was not as good as in previous years, Xichu was not good to fight not because Xichu was powerful, but because of the particularity of Xichu, the terrain of Xichu is complex, and there are too many cave people and barbarians living in the mountains, they will hide if they win, and if they can't win, they will flee, Dahuan, these men who fight happily are not their opponents! I'm afraid that for His Majesty, who has experienced a hundred battles, such an opponent is also the first time he has encountered it!
With such a heavy heart, the ministers returned to their respective posts.
It's just that three days later, the situation is already very critical, and Jing Heng is worried about his life! (To be continued.) )
