Chapter 1365: Han Banner World (55) King Qin
At the beginning of July, Qin's civil strife broke out suddenly, Hangu Pass guard, Qin General Lu Chao, led the main force of 100,000 Qin troops to the Qing Jun's side, punishing the traitor as the slogan, from Hangu Pass to Xianyang, all the way to the momentum like a bamboo, the front of the army approached Xianyang, Hangu Pass Qin Army, has always been the elite of the Qin army, second only to the Xuanyi Guard stationed in Xianyang, but the Xuanyi Guard is only 30,000 people at most, and the Qin border army of Hangu Pass is full of hundreds of thousands, all the way above the county is to forget the wind and fall, Lu Chao marched fast, At the fastest time, the striker advanced more than 100 miles a day.
Lu Chao's blatant rebellion, not only made Xianyang angry, but also frightened them, the hurried Qin State King Yingying only then found that the military power in his hands was really limited, 30,000 Xuanyi guards are the fundamental force stationed in Xianyang, and the largest new army that relied on Bai Qi's training was dragged by the giant Koupi Autumn in Nanyang County at this time, and the peasant army uprising that broke out in Nanyang was surrounded by tens of thousands of people, and the entire Nanyang County was in turmoil, and at this time, Another rebel army led by Niu Teng in Shu County, with Wen Yi as the vanguard, brazenly came out of Shu County, threatening Bai Qi's flank, making Bai Qi struggling in Nanyang for a while, although the combat effectiveness of these two rebels was not enough to threaten Bai Qi, but it also made Bai Qi unable to get out of Xianyang for a while and return to Xianyang to attack Lu Chao's soldiers.
At this time, Xianyang can only count on Tan Feng of Yingchuan County, the messenger of the eight hundred miles of urgency ran dead several horses and rushed to Yingchuan County, Tan Feng promised to be happy, and it was indeed sent to the army, but his army was divided into two roads, all the way to Tai'an, all the way to Wulong, Tai'an was caught off guard, and was drummed down by Sima Yan, the general under Tan Feng, but Wulong's guard Gongsun Kang had already taken precautions. actually relied on the strong city and withstood the strong attack of Yin Cuo, another general under Tan Feng. Gongsun Kang is the nephew of the original Korean nobleman Gongsun Ying, when it comes to relatives, he is in-law with Lu Chao, who married Gongsun Ying's daughter Gongsun Yan, what Lu Chao wants to do, Gongsun Kang naturally knows it, and has been preparing for this, originally wanted to wait until Lu Chao raised troops, he also responded with troops, but he didn't expect to be attacked by Tan Feng's sudden attack. However, Gongsun Kang, who had been preparing for war for a long time, still withstood this sudden attack, after all, his subordinates, as well as some generals who Lu Chao quietly sent to him to guide the army under his command, it was by relying on these people that he was able to keep the county town of Wulong.
The messenger was quite happy, but Tan Feng's next actions made him shocked and angry, because Tan Feng's army did not move, no matter how he tried to destroy and plead. threatened, Tan Feng was unmoved, and left and right excused Wu Long not to go, so his army left. I am afraid that Gongsun Kang will immediately wave his troops to Yingchuan, once he takes Yingchuan and colludes with the Han army, the Han army will inevitably drive straight in. It posed a great threat to Great Qin, so he would never take a step forward before taking Wulong.
The messenger from Xianyang was also a man of knowledge. Seeing this situation, where can I not understand in my heart, Tan Feng is taking advantage of the excuse of King Qin's call, to take the opportunity to occupy Wulong and Tai'an, and expand his territory, as for returning to Xianyang, I am afraid that Tan Feng does not have this mind from beginning to end.
Panicked and angry, the messenger immediately set off to leave, Tan Feng did not hinder him, sent the messenger away with a smile, and asked him to tell King Yingying of Qin, and after he leveled Gongsun Kang, a rebellious minister and thief who colluded with Lu Chao, he immediately waved his troops to Xianyang to contribute all his strength to defend the king.
Facing the smiling tiger in front of him, the messenger really didn't even have the heart to cry, Lu Chao was now a tiger descending from the mountain, but Tan Feng was like a hungry wolf, silently showing his sharp fangs.
And in the south of Qin, another general, Zhou Yu, also received the order of the King of Qin to return to the division to save Xianyang, Lu Chao, Tan Feng, and Zhou Yu are all Yan people, but compared with the first two, Zhou Yu has always been much more low-key, Meng Tian's 200,000 border troops were split into pieces, and in the end, only more than 50,000 people remained on the southern border, and these more than 50,000 people were always led by Zhou Yu. Over the years, Zhou Yu has been diligently leading this team, slowly gathering this scattered army little by little, and after several years, they finally regained their combat effectiveness.
On the table in front of him, there are three letters, one from Lu Chao, Lu Chao, who rebelled, will naturally not forget this low-key general, in the letter, Lu Chao called on Zhou Yu to raise troops to respond to him to clear the monarch's side, and after killing the traitor Fan Sui, he promised to give Zhou Yu the treatment of the waiter, and together to help the king to revitalize the dynasty, but Zhou Yu is not a child, he has experienced several military coups, of course he knows what the meaning is hidden here. Another letter came from Tan Feng, who had been with him since he was in Yan Kingdom, and after Tan Feng killed the former Yan King Ji Ling, the two parted ways and never contacted each other again. But this time Tan Feng also wrote a letter, not to win him over, but to tell him sincerely Zhou Yu that it is not a good idea to raise troops at the moment, and the best way out is to support the army and suspend all actions, but wait until Xianyang and Lu Chao have a victory before making a decision.
The third letter was naturally the king's order from Xianyang.
Dozens of generals under the tent also looked at each other one by one, and Zhou Yu did not hide it, and gave these three very different letters to everyone to circulate.
"Generals, the trouble is big, Zhou doesn't dare to make a rash decision, this is related to the lives of our tens of thousands of troops and the generals, so Zhou wants to ask you to come up with an idea." Zhou Yu looked at everyone and said slowly. Unlike Lu Chao and Tan Feng, he never thought of turning the army under his command into his own private army, and in the past few years, what he has done the most is to unite these generals around him.
These generals left behind in the Mengtian era also began to reject Zhou Yu from the beginning, and slowly began to accept this foreign general, as soon as Meng Tian died, other influential people such as Xu Yahua were transferred far away, and these generals who stayed in the south were not convinced by each other, and whoever took the position, everyone else would be unconvinced, but Zhou Yu became a buffer between everyone, and after a few years, everyone was slowly convinced by Zhou Yu one by one, but they also willingly followed this generous general.
At this moment, the letters were circulated in everyone's hands, but no one dared to speak freely.
After the three letters were passed around in everyone's hands, they returned to the big case in front of Zhou Yu. After hesitating for a while, the veteran Tan Wei stood up. "General Zhou, we are all rough people, unlike General Zhou, who is both civil and military, knowledgeable, let's also convince you, you have an idea, Lao Tan seems, this makes sense, Lu Chao made a wish. If you do it with him, if you succeed, you may be able to have a good future, Tan Feng said that it is not bad to support the army and self-respect, no matter who wins in the future, no matter what we do, at least we can hold this territory, but in the end, Xianyang is our royal capital after all, and the king is also the king of our Daqin. We also eat Daqin's Yulu, and we can't say anything if we don't save it, anyway, Lao Tan, I'm confused. ”
"Lao Tan is right, General Zhou will have an idea. Over the years, if we hadn't had the support of General Zhou, we might have been stripped of our armor and driven back to farming. Anyway, I am following General Zhou, and General Zhou is benevolent and will not lose us people. I've seen this through all these years. The other also stood up and said loudly.
"Thank you for your attention." Zhou Yu stood up, arched his hand at everyone, glanced at the generals in the tent, picked up a letter from the table, and said: "What Tan Feng said seems to be reasonable, but in fact, it is the most undesirable for us, we are not Yingchuan here, we do not have a strong foundation like him, our needs are from the supply of the court and the local government, once we support our own troops, no matter who wins in the end, we will not end well." If we only cut off our military salaries and supplies, we will be dead. ”
casually tore Tan Feng's letter to shreds, and as soon as he raised his hand, a burst of paper rain suddenly fell in front of him.
"Lu Chao's wolf ambition, although he is on the side of the Qing monarch and the banner of treachery, but what he wants to do, I think everyone is clear, this person is deeply favored by the country, valued by two generations of kings, at present, the Han country is powerful, aggressive, he went to ignore the country for his own selfish interests, raised troops to rebel, he did this, if there is no collusion with the Han State Gaoyuan, I will never believe it, otherwise how could the Han State take Lu Bin and stand still, and even withdraw a large number of troops? Is it really because of Wang Scissors? Let's not talk about how much strength Wang Jian has, let's just say that Wang Jian wants to attack the Han State and has to cross the vast desert, is it worth Gao Yuan to withdraw most of the troops in his First Military Region? This is just Gao Yuan letting Lu Chao rebel with confidence. ”
"This person has no kindness in his heart, even if we raise troops to respond to him, after the matter is completed, we are definitely the object of his cut-off, he cannot use us with confidence, and, as I said before, we are deeply favored by the country, and the generals don't need to say it, even if I am someone in Zhou, I was just a lost dog ear, but the first king is reused for me, and I want to repay this kindness. Ladies and gentlemen, think about General Meng Tian, General Meng Tian did die unjustly, but General Meng Tian was unwilling to die back then, what could the former king do at that time? General Kemeng still chose to leave with the first king, he would rather die than have turmoil in the Qin State, he would rather die to save your net worth and life, now, it's time for us to do something! ”
Zhou Yu slowly tore up Lu Chao's letter bit by bit, "Zhou is determined to raise troops and return to Xianyang, generals, is there any difference?" ”
"Willing to follow General Zhou!" The generals in the tent shouted together, Zhou Yu mentioned their old boss Meng Tian, which made everyone feel extremely sad, back then the old general Meng would rather die than let the Qin State turmoil, now, how can they violate the old general's will and add another knife to the already scarred body of the Qin State.
"Thank you, generals. We raise troops to Qin Wang, the only thing I can worry about is the people of Chu, since these days, their troops have been frequently mobilized, but they are afraid of plotting against each other, as soon as we leave, the gate of the south of Daqin will be opened, and the Chu people will come, how is it good? Zhou Yu said.
Tan Wei said loudly: "General Zhou, if Xianyang is not guaranteed, the king suffers, then the Great Qin is gone, what if the south is lost, if we can succeed in King Qin, defeat Lu Chao, the Qin State will be unified again, what are the Chu troops afraid of, thirty years ago, the Six Nations Alliance Army fought all the way to Xianyang City, and most of the Qin State was lost, but we did not defeat them in the end, in the following years, they were overwhelmed, if the Chu people dared to come, we will still let him vomit in the future, and we have to pay high interest." Isn't that right? ”
"Lao Tan is right, first calm the civil strife, and then resist foreign insults!" Everyone said in unison.
"Okay, in that case, everyone will go down and make preparations, and after three days, the whole army will pull out the camp and return to Xianyang!" Zhou Yu slammed his palm on the table. (To be continued.) )
