Chapter 516: First Meeting
Although Qin Huan did not make an alliance, both armies came to attack Liang, so they can be regarded as friendly forces.
After Xiao Yuan nodded, he said, "Don't worry about Huan Jun first, Nie Xing, where is it now?" ”
Nie Xing's army of 50,000 was not behind Yanzhou, and he couldn't fight behind it before.
Lin Chu returned: "It's not far from here, and I am about to meet the main force of our army." ”
Xiao Yuan thought for a while: "Tell him, don't let him come, let him lead the troops, rush back to the vicinity of Shanyu Pass, obey Su Yi's orders, and support the domestic battlefield." ”
"No!" Lin Chu took the order and left.
Nie Xing, this guy, turned to fight thousands of miles, and didn't fight a few big battles, but he was transferred back and forth by the highest order, which also made the later generals of the Qin Army ridicule him more: marching general.
However, every time he changed battles, he played a great role in the main battlefield.
At this time, it is also very necessary to let him rush back to the country, with this 50,000 army, the domestic situation will undoubtedly be more stable.
Next, the Qin army carried out a symbolic attack on Yanzhou, intending to test the reality of the Liang army, and after only fighting for a while, the troops were hastily withdrawn.
A few days later, the Huan army arrived.
After arriving here, Sun first found a place and ordered the soldiers to cut down wood and camp, and he himself, with a general, went to the Qin army camp, preparing to meet with the king of Qin first.
Knowing of his arrival, Xiao Yuan personally greeted him out of the camp, and after meeting, he was also hearty and smiled: "I have heard of the general's name for a long time, and I have seen it today, and I have never greeted him from afar, so forgive me for the rudeness." ”
He was so peaceful, Sun Qi was a little flattered, and hurriedly bowed over: "His Royal Highness King Qin is too polite, how can he be in the next place." ”
"General, please, speak in the tent." Xiao Yuan smiled again and stretched out his hand.
"Your Highness, please." Sun Qi was busy giving gifts.
This is the first time the two have met.
Sun Qi is very young, a standard general, and he has no power to tie the chicken.
You must know that there is a great difference between a strategist and a general.
A strategist who can devise aggressive strategies for the king, offer advice, and have a certain strategic vision.
Just like Shangguan Wenruo, he will advise Xiao Yuan on when to take where, when to march, and what strategy to use to break the enemy, but if you let him personally lead the troops into battle, he will not be able to do it, and he will not be able to command the army.
But Sun Qi is different, this person not only has strategy, but also has first-class command ability, and can even reach millions of people.
This is handsome.
Such a commander will undoubtedly be appreciated by the monarch.
Xiao Yuan was very polite to him, and after inviting him into the camp tent, because it happened to be a meal, he ordered the sergeant to bring wine and food.
The two sat down separately, Xiao Yuan was in the handsome position, and Sun Qi was located at the bottom of the side, with a case in front of him.
The army is hard, different in the city, after waiting for three or two dishes to come up, Xiao Yuan also picked up the bronze cup: "The camp is simple, if the hospitality is not good, don't blame the general, please drink this cup." ”
"Where is His Royal Highness the King of Qin, I am really tormented, respect His Royal Highness." Sun Qi hurriedly took the cup.
When they met for the first time, the conversation between the two was not bad, and Xiao Yuan asked him some military views, but Sun Qi didn't say much about it, or he hadn't thought of a countermeasure yet.
The two armies of Qin and Huan, where they were stationed, were not far apart, and the next day, Xiao Yuan took a group of civil and military forces, and Sun Qi also took a group of generals of the Huan army, and they all came to Yanzhou to observe the situation.
Looking at this majestic city pass, and the lofty mountains and steep mountains on both sides, Sun Qi couldn't help but sigh: "What a majestic pass." ”
As he spoke, he also stepped on the soil under his feet hard, and then shook his head slightly: "The ground is too hard, I'm afraid there are many rocks, and digging tunnels won't work." ”
In fact, Qin Jun had already studied this method, Xiao Yuan heard this, smiled and did not speak.
Looking at the surrounding terrain and mountains again, Sun Qi also took out the map he carried with him and compared it, and then said to the generals of the Huan army: "Let's go back." ”
As he spoke, he also arched his hand towards Xiao Yuan: "His Royal Highness King Qin, go first." ”
"Okay." Xiao Yuan nodded, he had seen it many times here, and after observing it again, he also returned to the camp.
In this way, a few more days passed, and since the Huan army was stationed, there was no movement at all.
On this day, Xiao Yuan gathered all the generals and prepared to discuss the troops again to determine the strategy for attacking Yanzhou, but as soon as everyone arrived, before he could speak, a sergeant hurriedly ran in, knelt down on one knee and said, "Your lord, Huan Shuaisun is up." ”
"Oh? Ask him to come over. Xiao Yuan didn't think much about it.
Not long after, Sun Qi entered, he came alone, and when he saw that all the generals of the Qin army were there, he was slightly stunned at first, and then saluted Xiao Yuan and said: "His Royal Highness the King of Qin, I am fighting bravely, I don't know if the two armies of Qin Huan can discuss the army together?" ”
"Of course, you and I are both here to capture Yanzhou, discuss together, and we can also communicate with each other." Xiao Yuandao.
Sun Qi nodded, and then went straight to the point: "Dare to ask your army if you have attacked Yanzhou." ”
Without waiting for Xiao Yuan to speak, Peng Shuang replied: "I have been tried several times, but they have all been fiercely resisted by the Liang army, which shows that the other party has a heart to defend." ”
"Yes." Sun Qi said: "Now the two armies of Qin Huan together are less than 400,000, and the Liang army has 300,000 people, if they stick to it desperately, it will never be feasible to attack." ”
"Then what do you do?" Peng Shuang asked directly.
"What if a large number of troops suddenly appear behind Yanzhou?" Sun Qi said.
Hearing this, Xiao Yuan couldn't help but move in his heart, and couldn't help but walk to the sand table and stared down.
Peng Shuang asked in a muffled voice, "How did it appear?" Falling from the sky? ”
"Who's to say you can't?" Sun Qi smiled faintly, and then pointed to the sand table: "Your Highness, please look, after Yanzhou, it is Wutong, there, the transit place for the rear of the Liang army to transport grain and grass, will inevitably hoard a lot of baggage, if there are 100,000 troops, fall from the sky and quickly seize this place, then no matter how many Liang troops in Yanzhou are, it will be a dead end!" ”
"At that time, General Xue Wu will not be able to advance or retreat, and more than 300,000 troops, the supply of grain and grass will be cut off, and they will be trapped alive in Yanzhou City!"
When the generals of the Qin army heard this, they couldn't help but glance at each other.
He said it nicely, but how can we achieve it?
Xiao Yuan also looked up at him and smiled: "What the general said, our army has not considered it, but Yanzhou City, the mountains on both sides, is not so easy to climb, even if it goes up, with Xue Wu's ability, he must have already set up many traps there, and he will only throw himself into the net." ”
"Your Highness is right, Xue Wu must have taken this into account."
Sun Qi said: "But there is still a way to let the army reach the rear of Yanzhou." ”
When Xiao Yuan heard this, his spirits perked.
