Chapter 1032: East Becomes West (25)

In just a few days, Wu Kai seems to be several years old, it was his idea to let Helan Kang Helanjie issue a conscription order, and now it seems that Li Xin's containment is indeed huge, at least until now, Li Xin's army is advancing slowly, and there are still hundreds of miles away from Jishi City, and the soldiers and horses surrounding Helanxiong are also continuing to decrease, although it is not enough for Helanxiong to break out of the Ayagula Grand Canyon, but at least the pressure is greatly reduced.

But the continuous casualties of the Xiongnu herdsmen also made Wu Kai sad, he served as the county guard of Jishi County for many years, under his rule, there were many Huns in Jishi County, and he had already regarded the Huns as his own people, because of one of his own ideas, so that these herdsmen who had not undergone military training were not afraid of death to go forward one after another, one after another fell on the battlefield, which made him suffer in his heart, these ten days, the casualty report kept sending to Jishi City, gathered 20,000 herdsmen, has been killed and injured more than 5,000 people.

"Lord Wu!" Yan Haibo suddenly swept in from the outside, "Good news, good news!"

"What's the good news? Commander Helan broke through the siege!" Wu Kai's buttocks bounced up like a spring, and the whole person suddenly looked energetic.

"No, it's our reinforcements that have arrived. Agu Huaien's Donghu Cavalry Division has arrived!" Yan Haibo's eyebrows fluttered, "Just now the scout sent a report, Agu Huaien has arrived in Fufeng, and will arrive in Jishi City in a few days, that is a powerful cavalry of 20,000 people!"

Wu Kai let out a long breath and clasped his palms together, "Great, great, in this way, we will have enough cavalry to fight with Li Xin on the grassland, and those herdsmen don't need to sacrifice anymore."

"Lord Wu, I'm afraid that you will have to prepare enough military rations soon, and as soon as Agu Huaien arrives, he will be able to devote himself to the battle as quickly as possible." Yan Haibo smiled happily.

"This natural. Jishi City has sufficient reserves of military rations, and even if there are another 100,000 men, I will be able to prepare everything I need in a short time." Wu Kai said proudly.

A day later, a group of more than ten rode into the stone city and went straight to the county guard's mansion, and Wu Kai and Yan Haibo stood at the door of the mansion to greet these comers, when the first person lifted the cloak covering his head, Wu Kai and Yan Haibo's mouths opened sharply into an O-shape.

The first person waved his hand lightly and walked straight into the mansion, Wu Kai and Yan Haibo glanced at each other and followed closely.

It wasn't until they entered the lobby that Wu Kai and Yan Haibo clenched their fists and knelt on one knee, "I've seen the king."

Gao Yuan's face was very haggard, and after running around for a long time, even he looked tired, and He Lanyan's originally smooth face standing beside him also lost its luster and looked a little pale.

"Hurry up, I need to know what's going on!" Gao Yuan waved his hand and pulled the two up.

"Your Majesty, why are you here?" Wu Kai asked.

"I heard that Helan Zhongji was trapped, and he was left the Young Guards Legion, and the light cavalry went all the way forward, catching up with Agu Huaien's troops, and now Guo Laofu and they are only afraid that they have just arrived in Langya." Gao Yuan exhaled, "This way is galloping, and I only rest for an hour every day, but I am really tired and want to die!"

"Your Excellency has worked hard." Yan Haibo said: "The situation is not too bad now, Commander Helan is trapped in the Ayagula Grand Canyon, although he can't get out, but his safety is not safe for a while, but food and drinking water are at stake."

Gao Yuan nodded, turned around and patted Helan Yan lightly on the shoulder: "I heard it, now it's time to rest assured, Helan survived such a difficult situation back then, and now this little difficulty is nothing."

"I know!" He Lanyan said softly, but her eyes turned red in the blink of an eye, she had no father and mother since she was a child, and it was almost He Lanxiong who pulled him with one hand, the eldest brother is like a father, now He Lanxiong is facing danger, how can she not be anxious, but in front of her subordinates, she can't show her feelings too much.

"Sit down, I want to know the specific situation on the prairie now!" Gao Yuan pointed to the chairs around him, then turned to Helan Yan and said, "Yanzi, if you are tired, go and rest first?"

He Lanyan shook her head, "I'm not tired!"

Gao Yuan nodded and said, "Okay, you can listen to it too."

"Xiao Yanzi, come on, you are much more proficient in military affairs than me!" Wu Kai to Yan Haibo.

Half an hour has passed, and in Yan Haibo's narration, Gao Yuan finally has a thorough understanding of the current situation, and the situation is not as bad as he imagined.

"Your Majesty, madam, it's not that I don't want to save Commander Helan, it's because the defense of Jishi City is absolutely negligent, I'm worried that Li Xin will make another move, and use us to save Commander Helan to launch an attack on Jishi City, to be honest, in the face of Li Xin, I really don't have the confidence to win in battle." Yan Haibo was a little embarrassed.

"It's not your problem, there's nothing wrong with your decision with Lord Wu!" Gao Yuan waved his hand, "Stone City must not be lost, the first priority is to defend Stone City, at that time Helan wants you to retreat all the way to Stone City, it is based on this, if you go out to save Helan and fall into Li Xin's trap, then Helan's hard work will fall into the water, he fought with Li Xin on the grassland, isn't it just to buy time for you, so that you can return to Stone City to do a good job of city defense?" Xiao Yanzi, Master Wu, don't think too much about it, whether it's me or Yanzi, I think your decision is not wrong."

He Lanyan bowed her head slightly on the side.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Madame for your understanding!" Wu Kai hugged his fists, to be honest, it is not for nothing to say that he is not worried about He Lanyan's dissatisfaction at all, because Wu Kai's decision at that time did put He Lanxiong in danger.

"By the way, I forgot to tell you, the matter of Qi has been settled!" Gao Yuan picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip gently, "Bai Yucheng took Linzi in one fell swoop, and then attacked Zhangjiadian District, and Zheng Xiaoyang attacked before and after, and annihilated more than 20,000 Chu troops in Bianyang, and finally used Tian Dagongzi and King Qi to lure Tian Jingwen out of Pinglu and annihilate it, Tian Jingwen died in battle, Zou Zhang led the last Qi army in Pinglu to surrender after the King of Qi and Tian Dagongzi both persuaded him to surrender under Pinglu City, my Han has destroyed Qi State, now Bai Yucheng's Qilu Army, Meng Chong's Southern Field Army, Zhang Hongyu's new First Army, three armies with a total of more than 100,000 people, have been transferred to Linyi, and after taking Linyi, they will swing directly into the state of Chu, King Huai of Chu wants to take advantage of me, this time I will let him lose his wife and soldiers." Gao Yuan placed the tea cup heavily on the table and made a clang.

"Great!" Wu Kai and Yan Haibo both cheered in unison, and Wu Kai's beard was even more joyful, "In this way, the crisis we are currently facing has actually been solved by most of it. According to the temperament of King Chu Huai, as long as he folds for a few moments, I am afraid that most of his hard-won confidence will be dispelled, and if we force it again, his peace envoy is afraid that he will be on the road."

"It's not that cheap." Gao Yuan snorted, "I have ordered Shangguan Hong to command the two infantry corps of the Young Guards Regiment to attack the three counties of Handi, and the Qin people will send these three counties to the Chu State in exchange for the Chu people's troops, the Chu people are not stable at this time, I will take him over."

"Shangguan Hong went to the three counties of Handi, what about the Wei Kingdom?" Wu Kai was taken aback.

"Ye Zhen also led the Central Group Army to aid the Wei State, this way of the army, my goal for them is to be able to keep the rules, not to retreat, just need to delay as much time as possible, waiting for the end of our battle with the Chu people and our decisive battle on the grassland, after the battle in these two places has a result, even if we lose the Wei State, when the time comes, the Qin people will still have to spit it out to me obediently." Gao Yuan sneered. What's more, in the Wei State, the infantry already has 30,000 new Wei troops, Zhou Changshou's more than 20,000 subordinates, plus his own 10,000 troops, this is 60,000 people, after Ye Zhen arrived here, we already have an army of more than 100,000 people in the Wei State, Xu Yuan will also follow with him, an army of more than 150,000 people, Meng Tian and Lu Chao want to swallow it, do they have the ability?"

"Meng Tian, Lu Chao?"

"Your concerns are good, the skills of these two people, Ye Zhen and Xu Yuan are indeed incomparable, so my goal for them is to never fight, never fight with the opponent until the last resort, there is only one strategy, that is, to defend, and then to delay. Fortify step by step, and kill time with your opponent little by little." Gao Yuan smiled and said: "Okay, let's not talk about the situation over there, let's talk about this side, Lord Wu, I need 20,000 sets of Xiongnu herdsmen's clothes, give you three days, and send me to Fufeng."

Wu Kai's eyes widened, "Your Majesty, what do you want these herdsmen's costumes for?"

Yan Haibo on the side suddenly realized, "Your Majesty, are you trying to trap Li Xin?"

Gao Yuan laughed, "Li Xin bullied the herdsmen who had no military training and no unified command to make trouble with him on the grassland, I really want to see what kind of face his cavalry unit will look like when it meets the independent division of the Donghu cavalry under my personal command on the grassland?" I'm going to destroy all his cavalry. Then I slowly packed up Li Xin's large infantry unit without cavalry cover on the grassland, God of War? Hmph, this time I'm going to make him fall off the altar!"

"The king has been through a hundred battles, and he has never been defeated, Li Xin, what kind of god of war, this time he will become a stepping stone for the king to go further!" Yan Haibo laughed.

Gao Yuan smiled slightly, "The commander of the Supervision Yuan's branch in Jishi County, I remember that his name is Tang He, summon him, I have something to tell him!"

"Yes!"

After a while, Tang He trotted all the way into the lobby, "The commander of the Supervision Yuan in Jishi County Branch, I have seen the king!"

"Tang He, send all your men who can get out and contact the herdsmen who are fighting on the grassland." Gao Yuan said: "If you want to give Li Xin a big surprise, this time I have to use the power of these righteous people!" (To be continued......) R1292
