Chapter 738: The Sound of Drums and Horns (10)
Qin Capital, Xianyang, in the huge black marble paved palace, King Qin Wulie was still sitting cross-legged on the cold ground, and the map under him had changed a lot, and the entire Korea had been included in the territory of the Qin people. In a few years, King Qin Wulie's temples had a lot of gray hair, and a large part of them were added after Wang Xiao's defeat. That battle made the Qin people very painful for a while, and the 20,000 elites of the Qin State were not something that could be practiced by practice. More importantly, the defeat of this battle made the situation of the host and guest of the Hedong front of the Zhao State easy to turn, the Zhao people were aggressive, Jing Rufeng would attack from time to time, and small groups of troops would bypass Hangu Pass from time to time and attack the Qin people themselves. Even if Li Xin arrived at Hangu Pass, this situation was only slightly reversed, and on the Hedong front, the Zhao people still took the initiative.
Although Jing Rufeng has been stinging for many years, he still deserves to be one of the people who know Qin Bing best, even if it is Li Xin, in front of Jing Rufeng, who has passed the age of sixties, he is only a junior, when Jing Rufeng became a general, Li Xin was just a schoolboy, and Jing Rufeng has devoted himself to studying the combat characteristics of Li Xin, Zhao Mu and others in the past few decades, so that when he fought against Li Xin, he could be regarded as a confidant and a stranger. Li Xin finally stabilized the situation.
As always, in front of King Qin Wulie, sitting were the ministers he relied on the most, Emperor Li Ru, Li Xin who came back from Hangu Pass, Zhong Li, the supreme head of the Black Ice Platform, and Meng Tian who rushed back from Qin Chu Border Pass, in addition to these people, the prince Yingying also sat behind King Qin Wulie. As King Wulie's health deteriorated day by day, Ying Ying had begun to gradually participate in governance.
The meaning of King Wulie of Qin was already obvious, and the support of Li Xin and other generals also gave Ying Ying a huge political bargaining chip.
"Let's listen to Zhong Hou first." King Qin Wulie turned his head to look at Zhongli in the gate.
Zhongli nodded, "Everyone, let's talk about Gao Yuan, the general of Yan Kingdom's expedition to the east. Although this person is only in a corner, there is no doubt that this person's every move can completely stir the pulse of the world. ”
"Guan Neihou said this well, this kid is sharp and aggressive, which makes people have to be impressed!" King Qin Wulie sighed, "At the beginning, I really underestimated this kid. ”
"The most shocking thing about this person was the battle with Donghu last winter. We, I believe that everyone in other countries, are not optimistic about Gao Yuan, thinking that if he can hold a few strongholds in the Hetao, it will already be a great achievement, but this is not the case, after several months of the battle of the Hetao, and finally ended in Gao Yuan's complete victory, Donghu paid more than 50,000 iron cavalry. There are also several of their generals, including the famous Yan Qi. This battle has completely laid the foundation of Gao Yuan on this land, and now. We can no longer see him as a remote prince, but as a king who can be our enemy. As soon as Zhong Li opened his mouth, he suppressed Meng Tian, who had just returned from the Qinchu border pass, and he didn't know Gao Yuan very well.
"Kannai Hou values this person so much?" He asked.
"Gao Yuan now occupies Liaoxi County. Hejian County basically controlled the entire steppe, and most of the Huns worked for him. Now that he has taken the Hetao, the area he occupies is already larger than the entire Yan State, and his hands have been extended to the Daijun of the Zhao State, and the general infantry under Gao Yuan commanded six thousand cavalry to assist the Daijun soldiers in the Daijun to resist the elite attack of the Zhao army, and now the war has lasted for several months. ”
After hearing this, Meng Tian said thoughtfully: "In this way, this Gao Yuan is basically being attacked on three sides now, the Yan people regard him as a rebel, Donghu and his endless fighting, and he defended his interference in Zhao's internal affairs, how could the Zhao people give up, is this the work of a wise man?" If the three parties work together, how can he hold on? ”
King Qin Wulie laughed, "In Meng Tian's words, this is also what Master Li and I have been puzzled about, in our opinion, it is really unwise for Gao Yuan to interfere in Zhao's domestic affairs now, after thinking for a long time, Master Li and I have come to a conclusion that is unbelievable." ”
"I wonder what the king saw?"
"Gao Yuan will launch a final attack on the Yan Kingdom in a very short period of time."
"It can't be!" Li Xin was shocked and said: "He has no soldiers and horses. Most of his troops were pinned down in the Hetao, between Liaoxi and the river, it was just an empty shelf, and although Yan Guo lost 100,000 troops in the big battle with Donghu, but in the past few years, Yan has trained 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers and horses, plus soldiers from all over the country, 100,000 troops can still be made. ”
"I don't know!" King Qin Wulie said calmly: "But looking at Gao Yuan, this person is not stupid, his advisor Jiang Jiaquan is a junior brother of Senior Li, and he is an amazing person, do you think they will be crazy?" ”
Li Xin shook his head, he naturally didn't believe this conclusion.
"According to the information obtained by the Black Ice Platform, the Ji Mausoleum of the Yan Kingdom is already preparing to move to Gaoyuan, judging from the movement of their materials and baggage transportation, the focus of their attack should be Anlu in Yuyang, and they first want to cut off Gaoyuan's mineral resources."
"Now that we know, we must know if we want to come to Gaoyuan." Li Xin shook his head and said, "After all, I am still not confident and a little stingy." ”
King Qin Wulie smiled and said, "Li Xin, if it were you, what would you do?" ”
"Look at Ji Ling's meaning, I'm afraid this attack, more of a temptation, rather than a determination to fight to the death with the other party, it seems that they are still counting on something, if they hold this mentality, I am afraid that they will lose this battle is undoubted, since they want to fight, then naturally have to gather the strength of the whole country, and strive to complete the battle, if it is me, since I am determined to tear the last bit of face with Gao Yuan, it is natural to gather all the soldiers and horses, take Liaoxi, and then attack Jishi City." Li Xindao.
King Qin Wulie laughed, "Stingy! You use this word well, whether it is Ji Ling or Tan Feng Zhou Yu, although it is a generation of heroes, but after all, the pattern is smaller, they are indeed tempting, they are also counting on someone else, Zhong Hou, you can talk about it. ”
Zhongli nodded, "Donghu's envoy just left Jicheng a month ago, although we can't find out what they agreed, but it is conceivable that they must form an alliance to deal with Gao Yuan together." ”
"Both families want to destroy Gao Yuan, but they have their own ghosts, for fear that their strength will lose too much in this battle, so that they will cheapen each other, so how can they win at both ends of the rat? If Gao Yuan is really as I and Master Li think, and if he goes straight in, Yan Guo will be in danger. ”
"The king's words are true, but I really can't think of where this man came from. The soldiers and horses in the river will definitely have to resist the attack of Kong De's department from Anlu, and Ye Zhong in Liaoxi will also be restrained by Langya Hu Yanchao, is it possible that Gao Yuan will mobilize Helan Xiong's department? ”
"Because I can't think of it, I'm looking forward to it." King Qin Wulie said with a smile, "No matter what Gao Yuan does, but I can be sure that if he doesn't move, he will definitely be earth-shattering, so this is also our chance!" ”
"The king is going to do something to Wei?" Meng Tian was immediately moved.
"Yes, do it to the Wei State. If Gao Yuan really launched a war of annihilation against Yan this year, the world would inevitably be in chaos, where did the Zhao people take care of the Wei State, if Gao Yuan took the Yan State, with what Gao Yuan did in Daijun, I am afraid that the Zhao people will have to worry about themselves next, so their forces will inevitably move in the direction of Yuyang, and the Wei State will lose its support. ”
"Who does Your Majesty want to lead this offensive?" Li Xin's eyes were blazing.
"What, General Li cares?" King Qin Wulie said with a smile.
Li Xin shook his head, "The minister wants to fight against Jing Rufeng in Hangu Pass, this person knows the inside story of my Qin soldiers and the fighting style, and if you change someone, the minister is really not at ease." ”
Meng Tian said excitedly: "Your Majesty, the ministers are willing to go, our Great Qin has just signed an alliance with the Chu people, with the character of King Chu Huai, he will never come to provoke us, and the ministers are willing to go to Korea."
In the war of annihilation, that general was unwilling to be this commander?
"You can't go." King Qin Wulie shook his head and said: "Although King Chu Huai is a little mediocre, Chu is also full of talents, and the national strength of Chu is not inferior to Zhao in any way, if they suddenly turn their faces, if you are not there, how can you resist, not afraid of 10,000, just in case, we can't take this risk!"
"The king is ready to reactivate General Wang Xiaowang?" Li Xin asked.
"Wang Xiao humiliated the country, and he was defeated by Jing Rufeng, and the whole country was angry, if he was enabled at this time, wouldn't it be a bad thing?" King Qin Wulie still shook his head. I am ready to use Lu Chao as a general and fully command the battle to destroy Wei."
"What?" Li Xin and Meng Tian both opened their mouths in surprise, "Lu Chao?"
"Your Majesty, please think twice, although Lu Chao is talented, but this person is too young, and secondly, he has never led troops, and to destroy the Wei State, at least he has to use more than 100,000 troops, such a large-scale corps battle, and hand it over to a person who has never had military experience to command, it is too risky, we just had the defeat of Hangu Pass two years ago, if we lose again, it will inevitably be turbulent in the country."
King Qin Wulie smiled, "Li Xin, when you first commanded the battle, I remember that you didn't have any experience, how sharp you were back then, why are you conservative now?"
"Your Majesty, the minister only led more than 10,000 men and horses at that time, and he was only a partial division." Li Xin argued.
"Lu Chao's ability in Korea gives me reason to believe him, and this time to attack Wei, our Qin people will only send 10,000 cavalry, led by Ying Ying, and the rest of the soldiers and horses are from Han Land." King Qin Wulie looked at Li Xin, "Li Xin, in a few years, Lu Chao not only completely let our Great Qin hold the Han Land, but also trained an army of 50,000 people, you say, do I have reason not to believe him?" Although he is a scholar, who said that a scholar cannot command a large army to fight? I'm not going to let him charge!" (To be continued......)
