Chapter 1043: East Becomes West (36)
Li Xin sits on the top of the mountain in a large maple forest, dense, the maple trees that cover the sky and the sun are lush, through the gap of the maple forest, you can see the clear Siyang River flowing in the distance, if it is autumn, this mountain forest will become blood-like red, in Qin, it is extremely difficult to see such a large maple forest, if this land can be included in the territory of Qin, in autumn, I came here, enjoy the red maple, fishing by the Siyang River, after nightfall, light a bonfire, and grill the fish caught on the fire, What a pleasant sight it must be!
It's a pity that this qiē is probably impossible for me.
Li Xin came here to set up an ambush, just in the hope of what happened. Gao Yuan personally came to the prairie to command the battle, which shows the importance of Helan Xiong in his mind, and there are no other troops except for the Donghu Independent Cavalry Division that follows him, which gives Li Xin a little hope, if he can successfully set up an ambush in the dark cloud banner and get rid of Gao Yuan in one fell swoop, it will be a huge victory for the Qin State, even if this victory is exchanged for his own 100,000 troops, it will be worth it.
Gao Yuan is the Dinghai Divine Needle of the Han State, Gao Yuan is like going, the Xiongnu, Donghu, these forces that depend on the Han State and exist will inevitably change, and the newly conquered Qi State and other places, those who are unwilling to surrender will definitely be ready to move, which gives the Qin State a chance to make a comeback.
Even if he died, as long as he could drag Gao Yuan to die together, it would still be a victory for the Qin State. A great general for a king, especially a king like Gao Yuan, this deal, no matter how it is counted, is worth it.
It's just that Gao Yuan will come?
This battle, the Qin State was greatly damaged, and he must not be able to go back with 100,000 horses along the way, as for Wang Xiao, who went deep into the Hetao, Li Xin did not count on it, the destruction of the 150,000 army, even the Qin State, could not bear it, in this way, there were only two armies of Meng Tian and Lu Chao left in the country, and Meng Tian's 200,000 horses on this road became a decisive force, the corners of Li Xin's mouth twitched slightly, can Yingying suppress Meng Tian? Lu Chao is definitely not good, although Lu Chao's merits are not low, but his qualifications are too shallow, and his soldiers and horses are far inferior to Meng Tian. Once you know the news of your death in battle, don't you know how Meng Tian will react?
If Li Xin still has anything to worry about, then there is only this one thing left, King Qin Wulie's health is getting worse, and he can't support it for long, once King Qin Wulie leaves, the stability of the country is the top priority of the Qin State, I hope Li Ru can calm the situation at this time, after all, the domestic officials have been purged by King Qin Wulie over the years, and the people in charge are basically people from the Li Ru school.
Li Xin sighed and shook his head, all of this, as far as he is concerned, can only think about it now, if Meng Tian really has two hearts, he with military power in hand, he does have the possibility of becoming the biggest disaster of Great Qin, now that he thinks about it, King Wulie of Qin will divide Meng Tian into his troops in two, it is indeed a wonderful move. Only by transferring Meng Tian away can it be possible to control the troops he left behind and divide them.
"General, general, they're coming, they're coming!" Outside the maple forest, a Qin general rushed over with excitement on his face.
Li Xinhuo stood up, "Is that kind of army, Gao Yuan is not in it?"
The general said: "It's the Donghu Independent Cavalry Division, but I don't know if Gao Yuan is in it?"
"Is there only the Donghu Independent Cavalry Division? What about Helanxiong?" Li Xin asked.
"There is no banner of Helanxiong, only the Donghu Independent Cavalry Division." The general replied.
Li Xin was silent for a moment, Helanxiong was not here, naturally he went to Liu Dacheng, as well as those Xiongnu herdsmen, tens of thousands of cavalry plus Yan Haibo's 30,000 foot soldiers, Liu Dacheng couldn't hold out for long.
"Gao Yuan must be in the Donghu Independent Cavalry Division. Yingzhuo, the time has come for us to be loyal to the country, as long as we can kill Gao Yuan, even if our whole army is destroyed, it will be worth it." Li Xin looked at Ying Zhuo and his tone was sonorous.
"I am willing to follow the general and go to the soup and fire." Ying Zhuo puffed out his chest and said loudly.
Li Xin smiled slightly, "This time, we are not going to the soup to fight the fire, but to die, even if this battle kills Gao Yuan, we will never be lucky, Yingzhuo, are you afraid?"
"Ying Zhuo has followed the general to fight for all these years, and he has never known what a fear word is!" Ying Zhuo said proudly.
Li Xin laughed and patted Ying Zhuo's shoulder, "Okay, okay, this maple forest will turn blood red in autumn, it's a beautiful picture, but unfortunately we can't see it."
"You can see, today, we will use the blood of the enemy to dye this maple forest red." Ying Zhuo said loudly.
"Well said, when the enemy army is shortlisted, immediately raise the flag, beat the war drums, today my 50,000 army, here and Gao Yuan to the death, can not kill Gao Yuan, not a soldier is allowed to retreat, as long as you can kill Gao Yuan, the whole army will not hesitate." Li Xin pulled out his knife, and with a bang, slashed at a red maple in front of him.
"Obey!" Ying Zhuo bowed and retreated.
The horse's hooves stepped on the shallow water by the Siyang River, the cool water droplets splashed, shining with colorful light in the sun, Gao Yuan believed in the horse's reins, slowly moved forward, and asked Agu Huaien beside him with a smile while walking.
"Wynne, knowing that there is a trap ahead, you still have to step into it without hesitation, have you fought such a battle before?"
"Back to the king, such a battle, Wynne really has never fought, if we knew that the enemy was buried in the past, most of us would go around behind the enemy, launch a surprise attack, pick a stick and run, and then see the right time to catch up and pick another stick. It won't take long for the enemy to collapse naturally." Agu Wynn said carefully.
Gao Yuan laughed, "You're right, I could have done this to deal with Li Xin, but I can't wait, Li Xin has an army of 50,000, and it has dragged on for too long with your style of fighting."
"Your Majesty, is something wrong?" Agu Huaien asked cautiously, for Gao Yuan's arrangement this time, he was in a state of confusion, cavalry is not this way of use!
"Wang Xiao's 50,000 army stands out from the Hetao, and we are in the Hetao, only Kumamoto has withdrawn from the three counties of Liaodong 10,000 soldiers, but most of them are new troops, defending the city, naturally they can hold it, but the vast area of the Hetao is only afraid that it will suffer, and in the Central Plains, Meng Tian, Lu Chao two armies go hand in hand, one sweeps the Wei State, the other has entered our Yuyang, one more day long, more people will suffer in these places, so, I want to use my body as bait, as much as possible to end this war, it is rare for Li Xinken to cooperate with me, actually thought of such a way to die with me, I naturally wanted to accompany me. However, this is a little unfair to your Donghu Independent Cavalry Division, because you will suffer the greatest losses, do you have any complaints in your heart?"
Agu Huaien was taken aback, "Huaien is loyal to the king and does not dare to complain in the slightest."
Gao Yuan smiled slightly: "It's normal to have complaints, and it's normal for you to disagree with the cavalry if you use it like this, otherwise it's really abnormal. I am the king of a country, not the general of an army, all look at problems, sometimes I can't look at it from the perspective of the leading generals, but from the perspective of the whole country, now by my side, only your Donghu Independent Cavalry Division can withstand Li Xin's deathly blow, Guli's army is not much stronger than the stragglers, Helanxiong's soldiers and horses have lost too much, and they are also tired, so I can only take you."
"I, Dong Hu Jian'er, am willing to die for the king!" Agu Wynn said loudly.
"Don't worry, after this battle, I will have compensation, and I won't go to the east Hu Jian'er's blood in vain!" Gao Yuan stretched out his hand and patted Agu Huaien's shoulder: "You are good, very good!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Agu Huaien was flattered, he knew that Gao Yuan was going to do what he said to his subordinates. said that if you want to compensate the Donghu people, then you will definitely do it, and to compensate the Donghu people, the first to bear the brunt are these Donghu generals and leaders headed by themselves. Thinking of this, I can't help but boil my blood.
Gao Yuan pointed forward with a horsewhip: "See the red maple forest in front, every autumn, its leaves are like fire and blood, such a large red maple forest, it is really a great wonder between heaven and earth, but it's a pity that we came a little early, I can't see this grand scene!"
Agu Huaien laughed: "Your Majesty, then we will use the blood of the Qin people today to dye this maple forest red, I, Agu Huaien, will definitely let the king see this unique fire maple forest."
Gao Yuan smiled and nodded, "Go, inform Mu Gulu and Gao Che, after this battle, you can wait!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Agu Huaien couldn't hide his excitement, clenched his fists, and beat his horse away.
The 20,000 Donghu cavalry, divided into three parts, slowly stepped into the semicircular land of the Ulan Banner, and walked towards the maple forest.
He Lanyan held the hilt of the knife tightly in her hand, leaned against Gao Yuan's side, and walked forward slowly, "Big brother, don't stay too far away from me later, Su Raula, you two must follow the big brother closely, understand?"
Gao Yuan rolled his eyes, "Could it be that I still want them to protect me?" Let them protect you!"
Helan Yan snorted, "That's not good, this time when I go back, Jing'er will definitely scold me to the blood, and when she left, she also told me that I must watch you and not let you take risks, you are good, first provoked me to accompany you to fight, and now she is risking her life. What can a king do?"
"Why not? You know the battle of Hangu Pass ten years ago, right? King Wulie of Qin led his Xuanyi guard to fight a bloody battle with Zhao Jun and Zhao Mu, in that battle, Zhao Jun had already killed in front of him, and Li Xin was a little late, and he would die at that time. He is much more noble than me, what he can do, I can't do? Besides, I can fight better than him!" Gao Yuan waved the Mo knife in his hand.
"Just blow it! Ten thousand armies are from it, and there is a chance that there will be an accident if you are stunning. Bah, when I didn't say it." Helan Yan spat on the ground a few times, causing Gao Yuan to laugh. R1152
