Chapter 64: The War of Nations (7)

On the tenth day of the fourth month, Juncheng (now Jun County, Henan).

The water of the Wei River slowly descends and joins the Qishui River in the west of Juncheng.

The whole Weidi is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, located in the transition zone between the Taihang Mountains and the North China Plain, with a humid and warm climate.

From Juncheng to Diqiu, the land is fertile and gentle.

In ancient times, the Chinese ancestors settled here and multiplied.

Zhao Yi, the main general of the middle road of the coalition army, stood at the head of Juncheng at this time. The chariots under the city went forward one after another. Looking far away, on both sides of the Wei River in the distance, there are also marching armies all the way.

A pole representing the military flags of their respective countries fluttered over this field.

Jin Sui, the main general of the Wei army behind Zhao Yi, looked at this majestic army full of mountains and fields, and his mood was also extremely agitated.

There are more than 10,000 people, boundless; There are more than 100,000 people, and the heavens and the earth are connected.

What's more, this is the 300,000 army of Qin, Wei, and Han.

The 300,000 mid-route army of the coalition army crossed the Qishui River in the west of Juncheng on the seventh day of the fourth month and entered the land of Juncheng.

Here, the coalition army did not encounter any resistance from the Yan army.

The Yan army, which was guarding Juncheng, saw the coalition army coming, but only lit a few beacon fires at the head of the city. Immediately out of the city, he withdrew to the eastern city of Diqiu, leaving the coalition army with an empty city.

Not only that, but in the southwest of Juncheng, Yongyu, Liancheng and other cities, the Yan army also gave evacuation.

Zhao Yi originally wanted to lead a large army and quickly march towards Diqiu City. However, he received a military order from Lian Po, the commander of the coalition army, to rest his army in Jun County, and wait for the reinforcements of the Yan army to reach Diqiu, and then move his army eastward.

Previously, Zhao Yi had already exchanged letters with the veteran Lian Po and discussed the strategy of this war.

Zhao Yi also knew deeply that the coalition commander Lian Po's intentions.

After receiving the news from the secret agents of Diqiu City last night, Zhao Yi knew that the reinforcements of the Yan army had begun to converge on Diqiu City, so he immediately ordered the Three Kingdoms Alliance to march towards Diqiu City early this morning.

Zhao Yi turned around, pointed to the Qin army passing under the city, and said to Jin, the main general of the Wei army:

"General Jin Sui, what do you think of my Qin army?"

Jin Sui's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said to Zhao Yi:

"General Zhao Yi, the army of the Qin State is indeed elite and mighty, and it is not a loss to ......"

Speaking of this, Jin Sui reacted and did not say any more.

Zhao Yi laughed loudly at the head of the city, and said to Jin Sui and even the generals of the Three Kingdoms behind him:

"What General Jin Sui wants to say is that my Qin army is not a tiger and wolf army!"

Jin Sui did not speak, and gave a tacit acquiescence.

Zhao Yi looked at the generals of the Three Kingdoms and said with emotion:

"Ben Jiang has always had a lot of confusion in his heart. Why is everyone in the world called my Qin army the army of tigers and wolves? Why do all the countries in the world call my Qin country the country of tigers and wolves? The world is like this, and it is a big mistake. ”

"In the general's opinion, the people of my Qin State are all down-to-earth, kind, and mellow people; The army of our Qin State is also a brave army that dares to fight to the death. ”

The many generals of the three kingdoms in the city were stunned when they heard Zhao Yi's words.

In addition to the generals of Qin, the generals of Wei and Han all scolded in their hearts:

"Your Qin army is not the army of tigers and wolves, what kind of army is it? Over the years, how many troops have your Qin army killed in our Wei and Han countries? At least hundreds of thousands of troops have been beheaded by your Qin army! ”

Of course, it is not easy to say these words at this time.

Zhao Yi continued to say to the generals: "This time, the countries have successively attacked Yan, and my Qin State has already made great sacrifices. This time, I would have hoped that the soldiers of all countries would come to witness the selflessness of our Qin State. ”

"The general also hopes that the officers and men of all countries can put aside their prejudices in their hearts, work together, and fight bravely to kill the enemy together, so that our five-nation coalition can win and return triumphantly."

When the 300,000 troops of the Central Route Coalition Army marched from Juncheng to Diqiu City. In the eastern part of Diqiu City, Qicheng (in the area of present-day Puyang City, Henan Province) and Dunqiu (in present-day Qingfeng County, Henan Province), the reinforcements of the Yan State had crossed Fancheng and began to march towards Diqiu City.

In the same way, all over the mountains; In the same way, the flag covers the sky.

Compared with the combined forces of Qin, Wei, and Han, the ranks of the Yan army had fewer chariots but many cavalry.

The monarch of Changguo, as well as many generals of Yan Kingdom, stood on the east tower of Diqiu City at this time, and everyone raised the binoculars in their hands and looked into the distance.

I saw that on the horizon in the distance, a thick cloud of smoke and dust was rising.

Columns and columns of cavalry and infantry gathered.

The soldiers of the Yan Kingdom, the red tassels on their helmets, the red robes they were wearing, and the big red cloaks they were wearing, including a large number of hunting and flying flags, rendered the entire eastern world into a sea of red.

In the pre-set military camp under Diqiu City, a large number of soldiers have begun to enter. In the binoculars, Rakuma saw the soldiers who entered the camp, all wearing the same armor and with a resolute expression on their faces.

The front army has already entered the camp, and the rear army is still hundreds of miles away in Qicheng, Dunqiu and other places.

Rakuma put down the binoculars in his hand, and his face was already flushed.

At this time, I only heard a general behind him, who was excited and said loudly:

"Great! I Yan Guo; Great! My soldier of Dayan. ”

Standing at the head of the Emperor Hill City, Lejian did not look back or speak.

If you look closely at the music room, if you look closely, you will find that the music room has both hands clenched tightly.

His mood was as excited as the soldier who shouted loudly just now.

"This is my current Yan Kingdom; This is the current army of my Yan Kingdom. ”

After calming down his mood, Rakuma turned around and said to the herald behind him:

"Pass my general order, wait for the reinforcement of the army, after all of them arrive at the Diqiu camp, rest for one night. Inform the generals above the brigadier general level of all armies to come to the military headquarters for a meeting tomorrow morning. ”

The herald behind the music room bowed down and answered, "No." ”

With the 300,000 allied troops of Qin, Wei, and Han, as well as the more than 400,000 troops of the Yan State, they all converged on the city of Emperor Qiu. The eyes of the whole world are fixed on this.

Just when everyone's attention was on Diqiu City, Lian Po, a veteran general appointed by the kings of the Five Kingdoms as the commander of the coalition army, secretly came to Yecheng (now Linzhang County, Hebei) at night.

During the Battle of Handan, the local soldiers and civilians were almost killed by the Qin army led by the Qin army general Zhang Tang, and they were sparsely populated.

But at this moment, in the heart of a large area designated as a military control zone, a clearing near the southern guard, there were military tents and the whole camp was heavily guarded.

After Lian Po arrived at the Chinese army's tent by car, many generals of Zhao were already waiting outside the tent.

With a wave of his hand, Lian Po stopped the generals from paying homage and entered the big tent.

After the generals finished paying their respects, Lian Po looked at the many generals in the tent and said:

"Generals, I think you also know that I, the Zhao State, have participated in the war of the Five Kingdoms to attack Yan; Presumably, the generals also know that the old man was jointly recommended by the kings of various countries as the commander of this expedition. ”

"The five countries have been cutting down swallows in a row, and it seems that the scale is unprecedented. To tell you the truth to the generals, the old man does not agree, and I, Zhao Guo, participated in this coalition. But since I, Zhao Guo, is involved, there is no way back. ”

"Everyone knows that the current Yan country, which is different from the Yan country in the past, is a real big country and a strong country. is compared with the current Qin State, the old man believes that the national strength and military strength of the Yan State far exceed that of the Qin State. ”

Hearing the veteran Lian Po say this, the Zhao generals in the tent felt a pang in their hearts.

The veteran Lian Po continued to sigh:

"Since the battles of Changping and Handan, my Zhao State has not recovered so far. Therefore, this time the Yan can only win, not fail. My Zhao State participated in this battle to defeat Yan, and Yan State will no longer regard my Zhao State as a country of relatives, but a country of enemies. ”

"Once they fail, all countries still have moments to catch their breath, because they are far away from Yan Kingdom. Only, my Zhao State and Yan State are fully bordered. I think all the generals also understand that the Yan State will inevitably do everything they can to take revenge on our Zhao State after the Great War. ”

"At that time, the land of my Zhao State will be annexed by the Yan State; I am afraid that the lives of our family members will not be guaranteed; My Zhao country's Jiangshan Sheji is also in danger! ”
