Chapter 1377: Han Banner World (67) Xianyang's Strategy
The Qin army that was in front of Zhou Yu was defeated by Zhou Yu's subordinates, and when the news came, not only Zhou Yu, but even his generals couldn't believe it, could it be so easy to take Xingping? Opened the gateway to Xianyang? Why is it so simple?
Detailed news came quickly, in Xingping to intercept them, it was only the local guards that Lu Chao recruited when he came all the way, whether it was equipment or combat effectiveness was not worth mentioning at all, and Lu Chao's Wang Chaoyong, who was close at hand, had 20,000 elites, and there was not a single soldier who went to Xingping to participate in this battle. There was no intention of attacking Zhou Yu's subordinates.
Things were too weird, but it made Zhou Yu worried, although Xingping was defeated, he did not give the order for the whole army to go to Xianyang.
It's so unusual. For a veteran like Zhou Yu, abnormal things mean traps, and there are things that he can't master. Is it to be stationed on the spot, or to enter Xianyang, or to attack directly to Wang Changyong's subordinates? For Zhou Yu, he has three choices.
Of course, in Zhou Yu's opinion, the best choice is to attack Wang Changyong, so that he can still alleviate the crisis in Xianyang. The opponent directly moved out of the way to Xianyang, but Zhou Yu didn't dare to go.
Xianyang, Fan Sui hurriedly ran up the high steps of the Black Ice Terrace Hall, and the gloomy face that had been gloomy for a long time showed a rare smile, and the good news just came that Zhou Yu's Qinwang's army had arrived, and crushed the enemy of Xingping, occupying Xingping, making Lu Chao's troops surrounding Xianyang reveal a gap.
"Good!" Hearing Fan Sui's report, Ying Ying finally breathed a sigh of relief, as long as there is the first Qinwang division to arrive, then there is no need to worry about the second and third. "They occupied Xingping and annihilated thousands of enemies? Well, it's so good, it's unexpected. Unexpectedly, the first person to come to King Qin was Zhou Yu. ”
Ying Ying sighed with emotion in her heart, in the Qin State, Lu Chao, Tan Feng, and Zhou Yu were all Yan people, Lu Chao is now the biggest anti-thief, and although Tan Feng did not raise the anti-flag, he did not have the slightest intention of coming to King Qin, but took the opportunity to capture Tai'an. Wu Long is also a real ill-intentioned person. Of course, Yingying at this time has not yet received Tan Feng's lair and has been taken by the Han army. On the contrary, Zhou Yu, who has never been valued by Yingying, actually led the army all the way to kill him when he was in the most difficult time.
The wind knows the grass, and the board knows the hero! Ying Ying sighed in her heart. "Since Xingping has been laid, why hasn't Zhou Yu arrived in Xianyang yet?"
"Returning to the king, although Xingping was taken, the 20,000 troops of the thief king Changyong were still watching. Therefore, General Zhou did not dare to rush into the army for a while, and wanted to march after Xingping was stabilized. The meaning of the report written by General Zhou was to prepare to launch an attack on Wang Changyong's troops in order to contain the enemy besieging Xianyang. Fan Sui said.
"Wang Changyong is just a partial teacher. He was on the side of Xingping, and since he did not dare to attack General Zhou, he was obviously afraid that General Zhou was powerful, and General Zhou should not entangle with him. Our main enemy was the frontal Lu Chao's department, and he immediately issued an order for General Zhou to lead his troops to Xianyang. General Zhou has 50,000 iron troops under his command, plus 30,000 Xuanyi guards, which is a decisive battle with road thieves, and he is not afraid. As long as Lu Chao is defeated, what kind of climate the rest of the rebels can become, it will naturally be determined by the time comes. Ying Ying waved her hand, and said majestically. He was originally a soldier leader, and he had been immersed in the army for many years, and now that he had enough troops at hand, his thoughts of confronting Lu Chao head-on were immediately exposed.
"King, what General Zhou said is not unreasonable, General Zhou's 50,000 troops, if he attacks Wang Changyong with all his strength, he will definitely be able to defeat him, and then the flank of the road thieves will be exposed in front of General Zhou." Fan Sui said.
Ying Ying laughed: "Shoufu, you don't understand military affairs, since Wang Changyong is afraid of General Zhou's military might and dare not attack, then General Zhou wants to find him for a decisive battle It will not work, General Zhou moves, he will inevitably retreat, and the road thief will inevitably turn to the division to find General Zhou's decisive battle, our 30,000 Xuanyi guards in Xianyang City, but they can't go to the rescue at will, Xianyang must be our root, if Xuanyi Wei goes to the rescue and let Lu Chao sneak attack succeed, then wouldn't it be the end of the sacrifice." At present, our first priority is to hold Xianyang and strive for a decisive battle against the road thieves under Xianyang. If Lu Chao mobilizes a large force to attack General Zhou, we will be passive. ”
After a pause, he continued: "There is no peace in the city, these days, Mingtai has discovered and arrested many people, there is no shortage of families here, Daqin treats them well, they actually want to collude with road thieves inside and outside, it is really unbearable!" Ying Ying said indignantly: "This is also one of the reasons why I dare not mobilize the army out of the city, there are Xuanyi guards in the city, and those with bad intentions can be suppressed." ”
"Since this is the case, then Weichen will immediately go and send a message to Zhou Yu, asking him to immediately raise troops and rush to Xianyang!" Fan Sui said.
"Yes, let Zhou Yu be careful all the way, the journey from Xingping is not short, and the road thief will definitely not let him reach it so easily." Yingying nodded and admonished.
Reinforcements have arrived, the tense Xianyang City, finally relaxed, there are more people walking around the street, among the people who come and go, more or less also show some smiles, 30,000 Xuanyi guards, facing several times the attack with their army, everyone in the city was originally uneasy, the king has issued a mobilization order for the whole city, all the men who are more than the height of the horsewhip must be ready to go to the city to defend against the enemy, the shopkeeper Su at the gate of the city, also went to the arsenal to receive a spear, his shop is not far from the city wall, will be the first batch of people to step on the city wall guards, These days, the mother-in-law in the house cries like a tearful person every day, and she is afraid that the shopkeeper Su will never be able to return home if she walks on the city wall.
Reinforcements came, Su shopkeeper also showed a smile on his face, as long as the troops are sufficient, those of them who have never been soldiers, those who have fought will naturally not have to go to the battlefield, he looked at the soldiers who walked in front of the shop, and greeted loudly: "Good evening, everyone, we will definitely be able to hold Xianyang and defeat the rebels." ”
The officer who was walking in front of his shop looked up at him in some surprise and smiled at him, "Good evening, of course I can hold it." ”
"Work hard, we will definitely be able to hold it!" Shopkeeper Su clenched his fist and waved, lifted the spear leaning against the door with his other hand, slammed it on the ground, and said loudly.
"It seems that the fighting spirit of the people in Xianyang City is quite high!" Next to the officer, a pro-soldier man whispered.
"Expensive? It wasn't like this a few days ago, didn't you hear that Zhou Yu was coming? The officer showed a sarcastic smile on his face, "Lord Gou has been stuffy for a while, it's about to end, Zhou Yu is here, and this big drama has officially kicked off, hey, hey, my long-cherished wish of Mingtai is about to be fulfilled, how fast!" ”
These two people, one is the commander of the Black Ice Platform, Mingtai, and the other, at first glance, is very different from Gouyi's appearance, but if it is a person who is very familiar with Gouyi, if you look closely, you can still recognize his outline, this Lu Chao's henchman, appeared in Xianyang City with a swagger.
The two returned to Mingtai's mansion, closed the door, put on a banquet, and Gou Yi also went to disguise and returned to his original appearance.
"Brother Ming, I salute you, the revenge is about to be avenged, congratulations!" Gou Yi smiled.
"Thank you Brother Gou, but the one who travels a hundred miles is half ninety, the more you get to the last moment, the more you can't make a mistake, Brother Gou knows, the further back this goes, the more difficult it is to do, the front is all foreshadowing, and finally this is a fatal blow, if this step is not good, the front is in vain!" Mingtai's face was very unhappy, "But to borrow your auspicious words, I drank this glass of wine." ”
"The general absolutely believes that with Brother Ming's ability, there is no problem in handling this matter, otherwise we will not raise a large army to come, Brother Ming also knows that if Xianyang wants to attack hard, it is really not certain, even if there are no tens of thousands of military horses in Zhou Yu, only 30,000 Xuanyi Guards, it is difficult to take it, we seem to be fierce now, but in fact, it is dangerous, the key is tied to Brother Ming, otherwise when he comes back from the predicament, we will be attacked from several sides, but I am afraid that we will run back to Hanguguan." Gou Yi Dao.
"I have been planning painstakingly for decades, just for this dynasty, every step, every link, I don't know how many times in the dark night, and now every step is in our calculations, and I will never have any problems when I stab at the door." Mingtai stood up, raised the wine glass in his hand and looked at the sky, bent down, and spilled the wine on the ground: "The ancestors of the Chen family, in the spirit of heaven, please bless the child to achieve great things and avenge the Chen family." ”
Seeing Mingtai like this, Gou Yi also quickly stood up, looked at the sky and spilled the wine on the ground.
Sitting down again, Mingtai filled Gou Yi's wine glass, "There is one thing I didn't understand, in our original expectation, Hangu Pass at this moment should be struggling with the Han people, but why is it calm there now?" I don't believe that one king scissors can contain tens of thousands of arrogant soldiers in Jinyang. Not to mention what Wang Jian's strength is, just say that he needs to cross the desert to attack, and six or seven percent of his troops will be used for logistics support, how much of a threat can he have? ”
"Sure enough, I can't hide it from Brother Ming." Gou Yi said with a smile, "I came this time, and the general also said that if Brother Ming asked, just tell Brother Ming directly, this matter, now except for the Han people, only the general, General Xu and Gou on our side know." Speaking of which, there will definitely not be more than ten people in the world who know about this matter now. But the general said that Brother Ming is an absolutely trustworthy person. ”
Mingtai smiled slightly: "I guess you must have reached an agreement with Gao Yuan, but I really can't guess what the content of the agreement is, what kind of temptation actually made Gao Yuan willing to let go of the great achievement of taking advantage of this great opportunity to take Hangu Pass and defeat the Qin State in the civil strife in one fell swoop?" ”
Gou Yi smiled, put his head to Mingtai's ear, and whispered, Mingtai's eyes widened as he spoke. (To be continued.) )
