Chapter 774: The Sound of Drums and Horns (46)

After Hetao was calm for more than half a year, the war suddenly broke out again, but this time, it was the Eastern Army that took the lead in provoking the war, and the cavalry division led by He Lanyan was the vanguard, and more than 15,000 cavalry brazenly attacked Jingyuan, and in his rear, nearly 20,000 foot soldiers of Luo Weiran's division of the Second Army followed closely, and nearly 40,000 troops rushed to Jingyuan all the way.

Zhengdong Mansion has been equipped with a complete military and civil affairs system in Hetao, with Xu Yuan as the highest military commander, with Sun Xiao as the highest civil officer, the two cooperated tacitly, mobilized all the troops in a very short time, and prepared all the preparations for a large-scale attack on Donghu, and a large number of people who have settled in Hetao are even more happy about this war. When these people came to the Hetao, they suddenly saw the spark of hope for a better life, and they were all full of energy, and war was a shortcut to accumulating wealth in a very short period of time for them. You can sign up as an auxiliary soldier to help transport logistics, stand guard, care for wounded soldiers, or you can follow closely behind the army, but loot the remaining supplies after the army, and do this, the capital protectorate can even give you credit, after the war, according to the credit you get, you can convert it into money, you can also exchange the field, in short, as long as you participate, there will be a harvest.

It is still the middle of July, and there are still two or three months before the autumn harvest, and all of a sudden, the Hetao is full of county conditions, and a large number of people have joined in this vigorous eastward crusade.

The enthusiasm of the people. It greatly relieved Sun Xiao's pressure on transportation logistics, and also liberated a lot of troops to come out and fight. The Donghu government was far from expecting that the situation would change so quickly, and it seemed that after waking up one night, the situation deteriorated beyond measure, and the allies who had just signed the alliance were beaten down in a blink of an eye, and the Zhengdong army, which seemed to be provoked, pounced on with a thunderbolt.

Since the last big defeat. Thorpe has been increasing troops to Jingyuan and Ningyuan, and by July, there were already 10,000 cavalry from Alendai stationed in Jingyuan, 15,000 cavalry from Ususotan stationed in Ningyuan, and more than 20,000 Yan troops from Kumamoto had to be added. However, these forces were obviously not enough when the garrison of the Hetao of the Eastern Army poured out. Thorpe personally led 10,000 palace guards to Yulin, which was also his old book of pressing coffins. However, the result of the hasty dispatch was that the logistical pressure increased greatly, and in order to supply the tens of thousands of cavalry, the country was already complaining.

The war at the Hetao was cloudy. And Gao Yuan's attention didn't seem to be on this place, and he led the two cavalry divisions of the Young Guards into Yuyang non-stop.

Zhou Changshou knew that he was finished. This time he gambled, he completely lost, and now he and Kong Deshang are in a stalemate. Although Kong De's troops were repeatedly defeated by him, they still did not entangle with him, and when the thousands of Eastern Expeditionary Army led by Naha appeared on the side of the battlefield, he already knew that the whole city and other places were over, and the Eastern Expeditionary Army of Dog Day really betrayed the previous covenant and bit himself.

Just as he began to contact Kong De, preparing to compromise with Kong De in exchange for Kong De joining forces with him and extinguishing Ye Zhen's belongings with one blow, the 10,000 cavalry led by Gao Yuan entered Yuyang and completely extinguished his last illusions.

And with the arrival of Gao Yuan, Ye Zhen also came out with a large army, and now the Zhao army under the command of Zhou Changshou has been trapped under the three sides of Kong De, Ye Zhen, and Gao Yuan.

At this time, Kong De's mood is also complicated, when Zhou Changshou sent someone to contact him, willing to get out of the way and let Kong De leave, the condition is that both sides strike the army, if possible, the two sides join forces, together to deal with the Eastern Army, for now, the Eastern Army has become a common enemy of both sides, he is not without heart, but the Eastern Army has seized the whole city and other five cities, if you want to fight the Eastern Army, it is inevitable to attack the city, this is more than worth the loss, but the other party let go of the road, let yourself leave the mention can be considered, but this matter, It's not so simple, if the other party doesn't give up, he is not so easy to understand, the current Zhou Changshou, although facing a desperate situation, still has the possibility of defeating himself, if he takes Yuyang, then all of them are alive, and the risks involved, Kong De can't help but consider.

Just when he was hesitating, the arrival of Gao Yuan's cavalry into Yuyang and Jicheng's envoy completely extinguished his thoughts, even if Zhou Changshou joined forces with him, under the attack of Ye Zhen and Gao Yuan, they would have no chance of winning. If your troops are exhausted, you will lose all your value, and your future will become bleak. Now, on the order of Jicheng, to preserve the strength and withdraw to Tianhe County, not only does not lose the name of righteousness, but also preserves its own strength, Dayan will see that he will be overwhelmed, the Eastern Army is aggressive, the troubled times have come, in this troubled times, what is more than holding tens of thousands of troops in his hands, and he has a sense of security.

As soon as his mind was decided, Kong De immediately reached an agreement with Gao Yuan and Ye Zhen, and the three parties worked together to force Zhou Changshou to force the other party to surrender, and then Gao Yuan let Kong De return to Tianhe, although he lost Yuyang, but he preserved his strength, and easily pitted Zhao Jun, Dayan's old enemy, why not? As for the future, we can only take one step at a time, as long as we still have soldiers in our hands, there is room for advance and retreat. Whether Jicheng gains power or takes power in the future, for himself with heavy troops, he will have to give some face after all.

"Ben will never surrender, even to the last soldier, he will never surrender to you." Facing the envoy sent by Gao Yuan, Zhou Changshou roared and roared.

"In the spirit of benevolence, Gao Dudu can't bear to have deaths and injuries on both sides, General Zhou, in the current situation, you also know that although your department still has soldiers to fight, it has been deeply surrounded, there is no food and grass outside, and there are no reinforcements inside, how long can it last? Will General Zhou just watch these sons who follow you die in a foreign land? This is the kindness of the governor of my family, as long as your department is willing to surrender, our department has no intention of leaving difficulties, and will inevitably protect the life safety of the general, down to every soldier, but since General Zhou refuses to accept it, I can only go back to return to my life, I only hope that General Zhou will not regret it. The messenger sneered and dropped these words, and walked away.

Zhou Changshou's reason was on the verge of collapse, he was originally a cautious and cautious general, but with Zhao Mu's unexplained death, after the big tree covering his head collapsed, the worry about the future finally made him take a risk, the only thing in his life was this adventure, but this time, it made him doomed.

He will never surrender, this will not only make Da Zhao lose face, but also make the dead Taiwei Zhao die, not to mention, once he surrenders, even if he saves his life, after returning to Zhao, he is afraid that what awaits him is a more terrible fate than dying in battle, if he dies on the battlefield, maybe King Zhao will treat his family well in order to appease the domestic soldiers.

Fight to the death! This is Zhou Changshou's last wish.

Zhou Changshou wanted to work hard, but Gao Yuan was not very willing. The trapped beast is still fighting, and in the face of an opponent who is already in a desperate situation, Gao Yuan is more willing to take it without blood, not to mention, Zhou Changshou's bargaining chip, he has to make good use of it!

Daijun, Nanzhang, and Zhao Qi met with the envoys sent by the Eastern Army.

In Daijun, Zhao Qi is already difficult to ride a tiger, although after the center of gravity of the Eastern Army was moved, he gathered heavy troops, once again conquered Hefeng, Jianli, and took the important town of Nanzhang in Daijun, which seems to have achieved a great victory in the military, but he himself understands that it is already wishful thinking to take Xiling City.

Hefeng, Jianli, Daijun people now regard the Zhao people as enemies, small-scale riots have come and gone, the cavalry led by the infantry of the Zhengdong Army is uncertain, and they can't grasp the opponent's main force at all, and they will pounce on it and bite it if they are not careful, and in Xiling City, the county town of Daijun, has begun to assemble and train more and more soldiers, and Daijun has been beaten up, but because of the support of Zhengdong Mansion, Daijun can fully support a long-term large-scale war with him on top of logistics materials.

The question is, can you still sustain yourself?

Hedong, the Qin army led by Li Xin is moving more and more, Jing Rufeng must deal with it with all his might, and he is completely unable to support him here, and Zhao Jin of Hedong County has repeatedly asked him to immediately end the war against Daijun, and turn to deal with the Qin people with all his might, and in the direction of Wei, the Qin people will lead tens of thousands of troops to attack Wei, and within a few months, they have occupied half of the Wei country, and Wei has almost a messenger to Handan every day, begging Zhao to send troops to rescue.

If the Wei State still exists, it can still contain a large number of Qin troops, and once the Wei State is completely destroyed, the Zhao State will also be in danger.

No matter from which aspect, this war against Daijun must be concluded, and what Zhao Qi needs now is to end this war with dignity, so that he can give an explanation to King Zhao.

How to end it decently has become the most important issue for Zhao Qi now.

It was at this time that an envoy from Xiling City came to him. The person who came was called He Tianju, a civil official sent by Zhengdong Mansion to Xiling City to assist Zhao Yong in handling government affairs.

With the deepening of the war, Daijun's dependence on Zhengdong Mansion is getting deeper and deeper, which also makes Zhengdong Mansion's penetration of Daijun deeper and deeper. (To be continued!r527.)
