Chapter 241: Gao Yuan is coming
Yuyang County, Jing'an County.
With the county seat as the center, the camp stretches for dozens of miles, hundreds of thousands of troops gather here, this small city that was not too prosperous in the past is full of people for a while, for this war, Yan Guo Ye Tiannan has long been premeditated, but the real implementation of the action, but it is not satisfactory. Compared with Zhao Guo's mobilization ability and action ability, Yan Guo is obviously not a grade.
The soldiers and horses of Zhao State came first, and the 30,000 standing army of Zhao State commanded by Zhao Qi and the private army of Zhongshan County of his own territory of 30,000, plus 20,000 young and strong troops temporarily raised, a total of 80,000 soldiers and horses, the soldiers were divided into two routes, and the troops were sent from Fangcheng and the whole city, and in a very short time, they crossed the Yishui River and attacked Yuyang County of Yan State.
By the time Zhou Yuan arrived at Jing'an County, Zhao Guang, the general of the Standing Army of Zhao State, had already taken Ci'an County in Yuyang County with the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves. The soldier pointed straight to Jing'an.
Zhou Yuan was extremely dissatisfied with Jiang Dawei, the county guard of Yuyang County. A few years ago, Yan Guo had already set a strategy for fighting against Zhao, Jiang Dawei had several months to arrange defenses, but Zhao Guo was in a hurry to mobilize the army, one to wait for work, and the other to go on an expedition, but the result was a great defeat for the defenders of Yuyang.
In Jing'an County, the general is in charge. Zhou Yuan stood in front of the map with a black line on his face, and two huge black arrows, one left and one right, came straight towards Jing'an County in two huge arcs. Zhao Qi, the general of Zhao State, his intention was to surround the hundreds of thousands of Yan troops commanded by Zhou Yuan in Jing'an, gather and annihilate them.
"Good calculation, although my Yan Kingdom has not fought for decades, it is not something that your tens of thousands of standing troops can swallow in one bite." Zhou Yuan sneered, this decisive battle with Zhao, the Yan Kingdom almost poured out, the standing army alone dispatched more than 80,000 people, and the entire Yan Kingdom, the standing army is only more than 100,000 people, it can be said that in addition to the capital Jicheng, the standing army in other places has almost been exhausted, plus the army of Jiang Dawei of Yuyang County and the young Zhuang who have been raised, the army of tens of thousands of people is a hard stone, Zhao Qi divides his troops to fight, once he can't gnaw it down, it will be a catastrophe.
"The loss of Ci'an County has caused us to lose an important fulcrum, which is also the reason why Zhao Qi dared to divide his troops into two ways." Zhou Yuan glanced at Jiang Dawei, and the other party lowered his head a little ashamedly. This is a bad thing, but it is also a good thing, Ci'an's easy loss also made Zhao Qi misestimate the combat effectiveness of our army, the army is divided into two roads, and the strength of each road will be weak, and then, as long as we concentrate on defeating one of them, the other road will retreat without a fight."
"General, the last general suggested that we concentrate our elite strength and storm the private army of Zhao Qi on the right, and for the army of Zhao Guang on the left, it is mainly defensive, the standing army of Zhao State, fighting with Qin State all the year round, and the combat effectiveness is extremely strong, it is very difficult to eat Zhao Guang, but Zhao Zha's private army is not. As long as Zhao Qi's private army can be defeated and the Yishui River can be crossed, Zhao Guang will have a worrying future, so he will have to give up Ci'an and retreat across the Yishui River, and our army will regain the disadvantage in the early stage." Zhou Yu, the general of the Standing Army of Yan State, stood up and suggested.
"What General Zhou said is good, after recovering the early disadvantage, the next thing is Nengfang City, the attack of the whole city, but at that time, I am afraid that it will have to be tough, and after the other party has suffered losses, it will inevitably shrink its forces." Another general, Tan Fengdao.
"When that time comes, it is estimated that Zhao will have to take care of itself, Qin will attack, the Huns will attack, even if Qi does not take the initiative to attack, they will put on an offensive appearance, once Zhao loses, they will inevitably come out to pick up cheap, at that time, I don't believe that King Zhao is not convinced and bows his head, this battle, we originally only wanted to take back the land of the five cities. When the time comes, Zhao Guo will be soft, and we will accept it when we see it." Zhou Yu said with a smile.
Zhou Yuan nodded slightly, "What the generals said is very true, Jiang Junshou, you may not be able to stop Zhao Guang's army, I will let Zhou Yu lead 20,000 standing troops to help you attack Zhao Qi, Zhao Guang will hand it over to me, can you be confident in defeating Zhao Qi?"
Jiang Dawei stood up, "General, Jiang is confident, the loss of Ci'an is Jiang too careless and improperly arranged, my Yuyang army is not a rabble, if General Zhou helps, he will definitely be able to defeat the opponent and cut off the opponent's right flank."
"Okay, Jiang Junshou, then we will attack on the left, and you will lead the headquarters army, plus Zhou Yu's 20,000 standing army, and attack the right flank of the Zhao army with all your might, and the strength is more than enough, and the rest depends on how you fight. And Zhao Guang, I will deal with it, this general of the Zhao army who is quite famous in the battle of Qin and Zhao, I would like to see only his demeanor." Zhou Yuan laughed.
"The general's sword is not old, Zhao Guang Xiao'er, how can he be the general's opponent?" Jiang Dawei flattered.
Zhou Yuan smiled, noncommittal to Jiang Dawei's flattery, Zhao Guang can fight for prestige in the battle with the Qin army, naturally he is not a vain person, but he has been in the army for decades, how can he be an easy person, this time he is far superior to Zhao Jun in terms of strength and logistics preparation, if he still loses like this, then does he still have the face to live? Fighting, after fighting the most, it is who is more prepared, not to mention how long Zhao has been preparing for this war, just the enemies they will face on all sides next are enough to make them scramble.
The time, the place, the people, the three themselves are all occupied, if you still don't win, how can there be heavenly principles?
Since the general strategic direction has been determined, all that remains is how to fight, the generals have stood up to express their opinions, for the standing army led by Zhao Guang, everyone in the big tent has no certainty of victory, but for Zhao Qi's private army, everyone is full of confidence.
In the midst of a buzzing discussion, a junior colonel came from outside and saluted back to Zhou Yuan after the big case: "General, the commander of Fufeng County in western Liaoning, Gao Yuan, led his troops to escort grain, grass and other baggage outside the camp, and now requests to enter the camp and deliver it."
"Who do you say?" Hearing Gao Yuan's name, Zhou Yuan was shocked in his heart, and subconsciously asked rhetorically.
"General Hui, it is Gao Yuan, the county lieutenant of Fufeng County, western Liaoning, who led his troops to arrive!" The little colonel thought that his voice was too low just now, so that the general didn't hear it clearly, and he couldn't help but feel a little frightened in his heart, and when he replied again, his voice raised a lot. As soon as the words landed, the buzzing tent fell silent, and the eyes of all the generals focused on the little colonel who came in and returned, and was forced to look at them by these many generals, the little colonel's head buzzed, and the cold sweat on his head fell, he really couldn't figure it out, what was wrong? I'm just coming in to give back a routine business to the general.
"High and far!" Zhou Yuanha sighed, and his eyes had turned to Jiang Dawei. As Zhou Yuan's gaze turned, the eyes of Zhou Yu, Tan Feng and other generals also focused on Jiang Dawei.
Gao Yuan, this person, no one has seen it in the big tent, but his name is like thunder, Ye Jing'er said when I have long hair and waist, you come to marry me can be spread in Jicheng, I don't know how many infatuated women tears ripple for it, these generals are all hand-eyed characters in Jicheng, naturally the entanglement between Gao Yuan and Ye Jing'er is clear, not only that, even Jiang Dawei's request to marry Ye Jing'er, these people also understand it in their hearts. For Jiang Dawei's behavior, although everyone is ashamed in their hearts, but that's all, political marriage, each taking what he needs, is commonplace.
Jiang Dawei wants to take Gao Yuan's life, this is something that everyone knows, where Jiang Xinliang left Yuyang and went, these people also know a thing or two, but Gao Yuan still crossed Yuyang County and appeared in front of everyone in a good manner, everyone couldn't help but be curious, Jiang Dawei didn't make any moves?
"Interesting, interesting!" Zhou Yuan smiled, before leaving, Xun Xiu came to see himself, aside from Xun Xiu's relationship with Ye Tiannan, he himself became a famous academic master in the world, Zhou Yuan is also quite respectful, his words are not clear, that is, Gao Yuan can never leave the Yuyang front, Ye Tiannan wants him to die.
A small county lieutenant will not make Zhou Yuan feel embarrassed, in his opinion, this is just a trivial matter, this time with Ye Tiannan tacit understanding, bring down Ling Hu Chao, and at the same time hit it off on the matter of Zhao using troops, this time the political tide of Yan State, speaking of which, the biggest benefit is the Zhou family, not only brought down Ling Hu, but also took a big step forward in grasping the national military power, in comparison, Ye Tiannan and Ning Zecheng's income is inevitably not as good as their own, it is for this to sell Ye Tiannan a favor, It's not a big deal either.
Later, after hearing that Jiang Dawei asked to marry Ye Jing'er, Zhou Yuan felt that he didn't even have this little trouble, Jiang Dawei would definitely try to take Gao Yuan's life, but there was no need to be this villain himself, but now it seems that Jiang Dawei is not enough to do it, and he didn't even do this little thing well. He shook his head again and again, it seems that he has to tell Zhou Yu well for a while, this time in the battle with Zhao Qi, he must stick to his own ideas, but it is a pity where Jiang Dawei's position is, it is impossible for him to order Zhou Yu to command Jiang Dawei as the left master in the future.
Under the watchful eye, Jiang Dawei's boss was uncomfortable, even if his skin was thick, he couldn't help but be a little hot and red at this time, and he was restless.
Zhou Yuan coughed dryly, and said to Xiao Xiaoxiao, who was still kneeling on the ground in a cold sweat: "This, you, go and call this Gao Yuan in, I will meet him!"
The little colonel sighed, almost couldn't believe his ears, how could a little county lieutenant be qualified to enter this room? What is the origin of this Gao Yuan, it makes so many big guys in the house so interested, remembering that his chief was unkind to this Gao Yuan boss just now, he couldn't help but sweat coldly, and after he went out, he had to remind his head well, to this Gao Yuan, you have to be polite, your own head, even if you want to break your head, I'm afraid you are not qualified to enter this house.
"This lofty reputation spreads far and wide, according to legend, it is both civil and military, I have always been very curious, I thought it was impossible to see him, but I never expected that I could see him today, I want to open my eyes!" Tan Feng laughed, he didn't have many scruples about Jiang Dawei, Zhou Yu smiled silently, he had to cooperate with Jiang Dawei to fight next, but it was not suitable to fall into the ground.
Sure enough, as soon as Tan Feng's words came out, Jiang Dawei's face darkened a little. (To be continued......)
