Chapter 911: Brilliant Hanwei (36)
Fan Sui said goodbye and left, and King Qin Wulie turned his head to look at Li Ru on the side: "Sir, this time I didn't inform you, so I secretly ordered Lu Chao to launch this operation, but now it looks like a hornet's nest!" Gao Yuan's reaction was so strong that it was really unexpected."
Li Ru opened his eyes and shook his head lightly: "Your Majesty, I have been to the area under the jurisdiction of Zhengdong Mansion, and I have also met Gao Yuan himself, and after I came back, I said two opinions to the king. Either take advantage of the fledgling of the Eastern Army, and concentrate on attacking the Eastern Mansion first, and the specific strategy is to concentrate the army, attack from Shannan County, across the grassland, and directly attack the opponent's core Jishi County. If the first strategy is taken, the war with Wei should be stopped, and peace will be negotiated with Zhao, and we will fight against the Eastern Army.
Li Ru paused for a moment, and then said: "If you take the second strategy, it is to accumulate national strength and fight a decisive battle with Wei after destroying Wei and taking Zhao. It has to take a long time. But instead of adopting my strategy, the king has chosen such a nondescript policy, and now we have stepped into the trap we have dug ourselves, Your Majesty."
King Wulie of Qin smiled bitterly, "I underestimated the war potential of the Eastern Mansion."
"Now the Wei State is dying by us, but because of this incident, they have been given a chance to breathe, if the Eastern Army moves in a big way and attacks the Lu Chao army with the Wei State in front and back, the Lu Chao is in danger. However, the Eastern Army of Shannan County is pouring in, and the troops we can mobilize are limited, and neither Meng Tian nor Li Xin can move lightly, so we can only recruit new troops, and another large-scale conscription will inevitably increase the burden on the country, intensify the financial pressure, and the people's livelihood will inevitably be hit again." Li Ru sighed.
"How can we save the current plan?" King Qin Wulie asked a little surprised.
"As His Majesty said, a few battles are certain." Li Ru pondered for a moment: "If Lu Chao and Wang Jian can win a few battles in the battle with the Eastern Army, it will be conducive to our next negotiations with the Eastern Army."
"What if we lose?" King Qin Wulie asked rhetorically. In the direction of Fengcheng, the Eastern Army invested four divisions of the Young Guards Army of the Eastern Army, and in the direction of Shannan County, Feng Fayong's 20,000 troops, 30,000 soldiers from Daijun, Helanxiong's Eastern Group Army, and the independent cavalry division of the Northern Group Army, the strength is strong!"
"We can only pay the price for the wrong strategy and end this war as much as possible." Li Ru stared at King Qin Wulie: "Your Majesty, if you want to hurry, you can't reach it, the unification of the Central Plains will not end in a short period of time, we must have a long-term plan and patience, and complete this matter step by step."
King Qin Wulie nodded and said: "It's this king who is anxious, and Mr. also knows my body, I think before returning to heaven, I can see that the overall situation has been decided, so I can smile at Jiuquan!"
Li Ru sighed deeply.
"If we lose, what will we pay to end this war?" Seeing that Li Ru didn't speak, King Qin Wulie then asked.
"First, this sudden war needs someone to carry the black pot." LI Rudao.
"Lu Chao?" King Qin Wulie touched his beard, "This is a little wronged by him!"
"If he is not wronged, can he still let the king be wronged?" Li Ru chuckled: "It is also his glory to have received it on behalf of the king, not to mention that it is just a temporary grievance against him."
"I'm afraid this alone can't make the Eastern Army stop!" King Qin Wulie touched his chin, "According to my understanding of Gao Yuan, this person is a master who doesn't see rabbits and doesn't scatter eagles."
"Of course, it is impossible to stop here, Lu Chao fought in the three passes of the field, but he set up an ambush and annihilated thousands of his subordinates, Naha, a heavy general under Gao Yuan, and thousands of his subordinates, of course we have to pay the price for this, your majesty, this price is half of the land of Wei that we have now captured." Li Ru said slowly.
"Half the land?" King Qin Wulie was startled, his brows furrowed, and after a while, he stretched out again, "Woe to him?"
"Naturally!" Li Ru smiled and said: "We will hand over these territories to the Eastern Army, as Lu Chao does not know the overall situation, declares personal vendetta, and provokes the compensation of the Eastern Army for no reason, we can trap the Eastern Army in a dilemma, we have already embodied the sincerity of the armistice, if Gao Yuan accepts these lands, the relationship with Wei will be delicate, Gao Yuan in order to contain us, constantly sell their weapons to Wei, and the relationship with Wei has always been good, but take these lands, will the Wei people ask for him, if the Wei people ask for it, will he give it or not?"
"Given, how did he persuade the top and bottom of the Zhengdong Mansion, you know, the Zhengdong Army has killed a lot of people in this battle, these lands are the compensation given to them by our Qin people, if they don't give it, they will inevitably have a bad relationship with the Wei people, we can easily let the alliance between the two families collapse, and lay a good foundation for our next attack on Wei."
"This plan is very good, but Lu Chao is afraid that he will be very breathless." King Qin Wulie laughed.
"It's his blessing to be able to share his worries for the king, he is not a person who doesn't know the general situation, but he is just idle for a while, when the king wants to use him, it's just a matter of words." Li Ru said with a smile.
"Well, Lu Chao has worked hard in the past few years, and it has been hard, so let him go home to recuperate for a period of time, and accompany his mother, wife and children well, well, my little junior brother has no children yet, so let him take advantage of this time to work hard, he still only has a wife for that Korean woman, and I will quietly reward him with a few palace maids as concubines." King Qin Wulie laughed.
Li Ru laughed it off.
"Sir, what is the best way to deal with Zhou Yu, who was escorted back by Lu Chao this time?" King Wulie of Qin changed the topic and no longer dwelled on this matter, over the years, there have been many victories and defeats in the Qin Kingdom, and he didn't take it to heart at all.
"Zhou Yu is a general, compared with Tan Feng, in fact, I appreciate this person more, Tan Feng is too scheming, the city is very deep, it is really difficult to see what this person is thinking! And Zhou Yu is more of a pure general, so it is better to transfer this person to General Meng Tian. General Meng Tian is tolerant, thinking that he can get along well here and give full play to this person's leading expertise. The reason why our Great Qin can have today's situation is precisely because of the eclectic use of talents, the Chinese generals of the DPRK, and there are not a few people from other countries, and they have all made great contributions to Great Qin."
"Zhou Yu, Tan Feng are both talents, two days ago, Zhong Li came to me and wanted to ask Tan Feng to pass."
"Did the king agree?"
"Why don't you say yes? Yan Lingwei in Tan Feng's hands still has some residual strength, and it can also be annexed to make the Black Ice Platform stronger, and you just said that Tan Feng is scheming, let him join the Black Ice Platform and make a sharp knife is not bad, Zhongli must be my Great Qin people, and he has a lot of scruples, many things do not make me happy, if this Tan Feng goes, it will definitely change a lot!" King Qin Wulie turned the jade wrench on his finger and said casually.
Li Ru nodded, what King Qin Wulie said was true, Zhongli was indeed not ruthless enough, especially when it came to many things in the country, Tan Feng was on the throne, but he didn't have this concern.
"As for that Ji Ling, let's keep it, and when we need to confront the Eastern Army, this person can still be thrown out and have a righteous reputation, but this person's safety must be paid attention to, I think Gao Yuan wants this person to die as soon as possible, first, he can come and go, and second, he can also smear a handful of black ash on my face." King Qin Wulie laughed, "Gao Yuan's Supervision Yuan is also very powerful, I heard Zhong Li say that those spies they sent out are collectively called Wolf County, there is a difference between wild wolves and lone wolves, Zhong Li has put a lot of effort, but has gained little."
"Tan Feng may be able to break the game, he has a much deeper understanding of Gao Yuan and the Supervision Yuan than we do." Li Ru said with a smile.
"That's right." King Qin Wulie nodded and said: "Above the court, let them fight, Fan Sui is a smart person, he should have understood what I mean, wait for the news of the king cutting them first, I hope he has the ability to thwart the Eastern Army."
In the process of retreating to the Jiuyuan county, Wang Jian adopted the strategy of gradually dividing the troops, and withdrew the most combative five thousand horse infantry army under his command in batches and hid it outside, and the rest of the large army retreated to the Jiuyuan county town, posing as a frame to fight an offensive and defensive battle with the Jiuyuan county city as the core, in fact, he wanted to attack the city with the eastern army, and the five thousand horse infantry army cut off Feng Fayong's back road. Then he attacked from behind, and he went out of the city, attacking back and forth, and taught Feng Fayong a hard lesson.
If this plan is successful, it will not only solve the danger of Jiuyuan County, but also recover the lost territory and drive Feng Fayong back to Shannan County, but he never expected that Feng Fayong deduced that the number of troops that Wang Jian withdrew to the county town was wrong according to some information from Jiuyuan County, so he guessed Wang Jian's intentions.
Feng Fayong planned the plan, set a trap, and lured Wang Jian into the middle, a big battle, Wang Jian's 5,000 horse infantry army lying outside was not only defeated, but even Wang Jian was also surrounded.
With the most elite personal guards, Wang Jian finally fought a bloody way and fled back to the city, more than 20,000 Qin troops, this battle, actually went half, but Wang Jian didn't have time to regret it, most of the Eastern Army chased after him and began to attack the city.
In the past few years, Feng Fayong has been preparing to attack the Qin State, this time to attack, he carried all the siege equipment, dense siege vehicles, Meng Chong car, ladder car appeared outside the city, just defeated the Qin army of the Eastern Army morale is high, facing the rain of arrows at the head of the city, launched a charge.
The county town of Jiuyuan ushered in a bloody battle. Regardless of the scars on his body, Wang Jian personally went to the city, brandished a broadsword, and launched a bloody battle with the eastern army that landed in the city.
Feng Fayong's plan succeeded, and his heart was excited, Wang Jian lost the soldier he could fight the most, if he took the Jiuyuan County City, the blow to the Qin people would be unprecedented. R1152
