Chapter 1785: Back Army

"Lord Qiqi, after the last general led the army to the north, he first set up an ambush, defeated the Qin army, beheaded Wang Gui, and then defeated Zhang Xian......"

Wei Zhang knelt down on one knee with his fists clenched, unhurriedly reported the results of the battle, and then pleaded guiltily: "The general could have wiped out the fleeing Zhang Xianbu, and he didn't want to go against Qin Jingzhou to assassinate Shi Qin Zheng and lead the army to help in time, but the general was defeated, so he could only retreat to the general." ”

Hearing this, Liu Xiu's brows furrowed slightly, and he asked, "How many troops did Qin Zheng bring?" Can you defeat Wei Zhang head-on? ”

As far as Liu Xiu knows, there are not many main forces of the Qin army in Xiangyang today, so to ensure the safety of Xiangyang, Qin Zheng should not dare to leave the city with too many troops.

In addition, if Qin Zheng's strength exceeded that of the Chu army, Wei Zhang would not fight him at all, and if the people were less than the Chu army, the Chu army would not have lost so badly?

"Qin Zheng only brought three thousand elites."

Wei Zhang replied truthfully, his eyes were full of unwillingness, after all, it was indeed a bit embarrassing for six thousand to lose to three thousand.

"What? Qin Zheng's 3,000 main force was able to defeat the 6,000 elites of our army? ”

Liu Xiu's eyes widened even more, his face suddenly became ugly, and the rest of the generals also exclaimed.

The 7,000 Chu army that Wei Zhang took away was not an ordinary army, but a real elite army, but now it was defeated by the 3,000 Qin army, which is really a little unacceptable.

Liu Xiu's face became more and more ugly, and then he seemed to think of something, and said with a free smile: "I didn't expect that Qin Zheng is not only good at government affairs, but also not bad in military strategy, and the Qin family's generation is full of talents." ”

Liu Xiu's praise of the opponent is actually covering up the failure, which means that it is not that we are incompetent, but that the opponent is very strong.

Hearing Liu Xiu's words, Li Mi stood up and explained: "Lord, Qin Zheng is Qin Wen's adopted son, he was originally born in the military, he has fought with Qin Wen for many years, and he had a good performance during the Yellow Turban Uprising, but later Qin Hao was too dazzling, in contrast, it seems that Qin Zheng's military talent is mediocre, in fact, Qin Zheng is a good general." ”

"Oh? And what's going on? ”

Liu Xiu suddenly showed a look of surprise, his impression of Qin Zheng was still after serving as the assassin of Jingzhou, and under the governance of Qin Zheng, Jingbei officials ruled Qingming, politics and harmony, and the finances would rise a big ladder every year, so he didn't know Qin Wen's past before he served as the assassin of Jingzhou.

"Lord, although Qin Zheng has the talent of a general, but it is not enough to defeat the six thousand elites of the last general with a main force of 3,000, and the last general is not defeated by Qin Zheng, but by the Beiwei army." Wei Zhang said with a wry smile.

"Betrayal? Yue Fei's back army? Then it is not surprising. ”

The generals exclaimed, and then calmly accepted the defeat.

When the Chu army faced the Beiwei army, it had suffered too many losses and lost too many battles, but now it is no longer strange.

"Yue Fei's back army has actually been reorganized? It's a bit hard to do now. ”

Liu Xiu frowned, his eyes full of solemnity.

Not only did Qin Hui want Yue Fei to die, but Liu Xiu also wanted Yue Fei to die, and when Yue Fei was investigated and imprisoned, Liu Xiu contributed to it.

Liu Xiu first spread rumors in Jingbei and Sizhou, and then spent a lot of money to bribe officials in the DPRK and China to slander Yue Fei for rebellion.

In Liu Xiu's opinion, Qin Hao had already investigated Yue Fei and sent him to prison, so Yue Fei must be dead, but he didn't expect Qin Hao to kill Yue Fei in the end.

However, although Yue Fei did not die, he also left Jingbei completely, and Qin Qiong, who succeeded Yue Fei, was far worse than Yue Fei, and the threat to Chu was far less than Yue Fei.

In addition, Yue Fei was dismissed and investigated for no reason, which made many people in the Qin army in Jingbei resentful, and some troops wanted to wash away their grievances from the commander-in-chief, and protested against the imperial court's decision to detain Yue Fei.

Under the deliberate instigation of the secret agents under Liu Xiu's command, some troops became more and more troublesome, especially the Beiwei Army founded by Yue Fei, if it were not for Zhang Xian and Wang Gui's efforts to persuade them, they almost reached the point of mutiny, which also forced Qin Zheng and Qin Qiong to disband the Beiwei Army.

Qin Zheng and Qin Qiong did this is also a helpless move, the Beiwei Army is an army founded by Yue Fei, only recognize Yue Fei and not them, Yue Fei's life and death are still difficult to protect, and if the Beiwei Army is really reversed, then Yue Fei will die.

As the most elite Beiwei army in Jingbei Qin, after Yue Fei was imprisoned, it became the most unstable factor in Jingbei

Therefore, for the sake of the stability of Jingbei and to save Yue Fei's life, Qin Zheng and Qin Qiong decided to disperse the Beiwei army and distribute it to the whole army.

In order to make Jingbei chaotic, Liu Xiu's various dirty and dirty methods were frequent, while Qin Zheng saw the moves, dismantled Liu Xiu's schemes one after another, and finally guaranteed the stability of Jingbei.

Now that Yue Fei has been reinstated, Qin Zheng reorganized the Beiwei Army, but because it has been scattered for a long time and has not practiced the battle formation for too long, the soldiers are a little rusty, and they have to carry out some training, so the Beiwei Army did not go to the Yiling battlefield.

The strongest elite in the Jingbei Qin army, the Beiwei army has the most sophisticated equipment, the best soldiers, and the training time is only half a month, and it has recovered to the peak of combat power.

After the reorganization, the Beiwei army faced Wei Zhang, the general of the Chu State, in the first battle, and finally defeated the elite of the 6,000 Chu army with 3,000 people under the command of Qin Zheng.

"For the time being, don't care about the Beiwei army, Xiangyang, as the seat of Jingzhou, has a more important status than Jiangling, Qin Zheng doesn't dare to send the Beiwei army, let's think about how to break through Jiangling first."

After that, Liu Xiu looked at the article and asked, "I don't know if General Wei Zhang has a strategy to break the city?" ”

Wei Zhang didn't have much to do, but he still said: "Lord, we can leave Jiangling aside first and go to attack the other cities in Nanjun, so that Jiangling will become a lonely city, the lonely city cannot be defended, and it is only a matter of time before Jiangling is attacked." ”

Liu Xiu nodded after a little contemplation, and said helplessly: "I can only do this first."

Wei Zhang and Cen Peng ordered the two of you to lead 10,000 troops each, divided into left and right roads, and go to collect the rest of the counties in Nanjun, and be sure to give this king to take the entire Nanjun in half a month. ”

"No."

Liu Xiu broke through Han Shizhong's water village and suffered nearly 2,000 casualties, another 1,000 in the attack on Jiangling, and 3,000 casualties in Wei Zhang's 7,000 elites.

So far, the Chu army has lost 6,000 troops, and there are still 44,000 left of the 50,000 army.

The 44,000 Chu army divided its troops again, and it was still divided into three, and continued to besiege Jiangling all the way, and went to collect the rest of the counties in Nanjun on two roads.

The rest of the counties in Nanjun did not have a small number of troops at all, so where could they stop the army of Wei Zhang and Cen Peng?

The counties were either breached, or took the initiative to open the city and surrender, and in just half a month, Nanjun was no longer owned by the Qin army, leaving only the last isolated city of Jiangling.
