"Uncle Zhou! Piff! You shameless thieves, none of them are good things! Xiang Kang'er is treacherous and shameless, I can't imagine that you, a puppet, are so despicable! said that he was fighting Yanmen County, but in fact, he secretly came to fight Taiyuan County, the king! This king has fallen for you this time! ”

"Shameless horseman! This king and you will not stand apart! ”

Shi Sima Xin, the former commander of the Qin army, was born as a civil servant and had a rather elegant personality, and it was difficult for outsiders to see him angry and angry, but after receiving the urgent report of the Han army's sneak attack on Lishi, Sima Xin tore off his elegant mask for the first time, and only scolded with his teeth and claws, and was so angry that he was as if Xiang Yu was possessed by an arrow after losing an eye! The sky-high anger almost burned the ancient city of Jinyang, which had been built in the Western Zhou Dynasty, into ashes!

I really can't blame Sima Xin for being so angry, mainly because the development degree of Taiyuan County in this era is still very low, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and the whole county is only seven county seats. The territory is only Sima Xin, the king of Jin in Taiyuan County, of course, it is difficult not to jump like thunder.

"King, regret is useless." General Zhao Han suggested: "The most important thing at the moment is to make every effort to protect the three cities of Zishi, Wuxian and Jiexiu, and the last general suggested that our main force should immediately go south to rescue and prevent the Han thief army from seizing our city." ”

Sima Xin quickly calculated with a dark face, and said with an extremely ugly face after a while: "We can't take risks, we only have more than 30,000 troops in total, but Uncle Zhou has 40,000 troops, and these places are too far away from Jinyang City, so take the risk of going south for a decisive battle, if there is anything missing, not only will our main force not be able to keep it, but the national capital Jinyang will also be in danger of being taken by the Han thief army." ”

"But we can't just watch the thieves take advantage of the situation to take the Zi clan?" Zhao Han reminded: "The Zi clan is close to Wu County and Jiexiu, if the Zi clan is not protected, Wu County and Jiexiu will definitely not be able to protect it." ”

"I can only hurry up to ask for help from King Dai (Zhang Han) and King Zhai (Dong Peng)." Sima Xin said bitterly: "Concentrate our forces first, keep our most important national capital, Jinyang City, and wait for the reinforcements of King Dai and King Zhai to arrive, help us clean up the Han thief army, and then find a way to recover the fallen southern city." ”

Sima Xin made an absolutely correct choice, in fact, Uncle Zhou was indeed prepared with two hands, one was to lure the main force of the Taiyuan army to the south for a decisive battle, and the other was to first take the three southern cities of Taiyuan such as the Zi clan, seize the grain and grass supply army, and then go north to attack Jinyang. Now since Sima Xin is unwilling to risk sending the main force south for a decisive battle, Uncle Zhou has no choice but to give priority to attacking Zishi and other cities, first clearing the remnants of the enemy in the south of Taiyuan County, and then going north to seek a decisive battle with the main force of the Taiyuan army.

The Han army's seizure of the city certainly gave Sima Xin the opportunity to ask for help from his allies, Jinyang to Yanmen County to govern Shanwu City and there is a gallop to pass, the news was transmitted quickly, Sima Xin sent a messenger for help quickly whipped up, it only took more than three days to send the news to Shanwu, the result was the same as Sima Xin, learned that Uncle Zhou suddenly sent troops to attack Sima Xin, and Zhang Han and Dong Peng, who had rushed to Shanwu with the main force, also scolded together, all hated Uncle Zhou's despicable and cunning to the bone, and shouted that they wanted to fight Yanmen County, In fact, he suddenly stabbed Sima Xin in the waist and eye.

No matter how much you scold, there is no way, Sima Xin is not only a hardcore ally of Zhang Han and Dong Fei, but the relatively wealthy Taiyuan County is also an important source of money and food for Zhang Han and Dong Fei, and there must be no mistakes, so Zhang Han and Dong Fei have no choice but to quickly discuss how to reinforce Sima Xin. The result was also natural, when the troops in his hands were already much worse than before, Dong Fei immediately proposed that Zhang Dong's second army join forces and go south at full speed to reinforce Sima Xin.

Zhang Han only thought about it for a moment, then shook his head and rejected Dong Peng's proposal, and said: "We can't forget the Mausoleum of the Han Thief King in Yunzhong County, he is currently stationed under Yunzhong City, if we find that we join forces to go south, we will definitely take the opportunity to send troops to attack Yanmen County, so that we will suffer from the enemy on our backs, and it will be difficult to take care of the end." The best way is to divide the troops into two routes, you first take the people of your headquarters to the south to reinforce Sima Xin, and I will send troops to attack Yunzhong, first clean up the royal tomb, and then go south to help you. ”

Dong Fei thought about it, immediately nodded and agreed, hurriedly organized soldiers and horses, and took his more than 20,000 troops south along the Chidao on the same day, and hurried to Taiyuan County to reinforce Sima Xin. Zhang Han organized men and horses to prepare for the western attack on Yunzhong, and at the same time sent people to investigate the specific situation of Yunzhong County and grasp the movements of the Han army's royal tombs. However, to Zhang Han's surprise, more than three days later, before he could take action, news came from Yunzhong, saying that Wang Ling had led his army to leave Yunzhong and go south, and took the initiative to withdraw from the battlefield in Saibei.

"Go south to reinforce Uncle Zhou? Ready for a decisive battle with us in Taiyuan? ”

Zhang Han analyzed the reason why Wang Ling went south, and was very suspicious that Uncle Zhou lured all the main forces of himself and Dong Peng to the Taiyuan battlefield for a decisive battle, so as to reduce the logistical pressure of the Han army, but for the sake of prudence, Zhang Han did not rush to lead his main force south, but calmed down, and sent more people to carefully probe the situation in the clouds, so as to prevent Wang Ling from going and returning, and suddenly killing a horse gun. At the same time, because the city in the clouds is strong and difficult to attack, and the Taiyuan County is about to fight, Zhang Han also dispelled the idea of entering the clouds, and is unwilling to waste military strength for a city that is currently insignificant.

…………

Let's take a look at Uncle Zhou's side, the battle of the three cities of Zishi, Wuxian and Jiexiu, the Han army only encountered a slightly stronger resistance under the city of Zishi, and when the soldiers of the Han army spent three days to take the county seat of Zishi by strong attack, Wuxian and Jiexiu Ercheng opened the city and surrendered under the persuasion of the Han army envoy, so that the Han army easily leveled the Taiyuan army in the south of Taiyuan County.

Then, the generals of the Han army and the old men of Shangshan Cui Guang and Zhou Shu who went out with the army proposed one after another, suggesting that Uncle Zhou should seize the time to go north and take advantage of the opportunity that the enemy's reinforcements had not yet arrived to annihilate the main force of the Taiyuan Army as soon as possible. Uncle Zhou decisively shook his head and refused, saying, "Don't be in a hurry, wait patiently for a few more days, and wait until our grain brigade delivers the grain." ”

"General Zhou, is this necessary?" General Ling Jing asked very strangely: "Although the grain we have seized in Zishi, Wuxian and Jiexiu is not much, how can it be enough for us to go north to Jinyang and hold out until our grain and grass arrive at the front line, why do we have to wait for our grain and grass?" If we give Zhang Han and Dong Fei time and let their reinforcements arrive in Jinyang first, wouldn't it be more difficult for us to take Jinyang Jiancheng? ”

"You said the opposite, if we hurry up and go north, it will be more difficult to take Jinyang City." Uncle Zhou smiled and said: "Jinyang is a big city, it is completely possible to accommodate the main force of Sima Xinpifu, if we go north too fast, and rush to Jinyang City before his reinforcements arrive, Sima Xinpifu will definitely choose to retreat into the city in order to preserve his strength, and when we want to take Jinyang, it will definitely be more difficult, and the grasp is very small." ”

"Therefore, we can only do the opposite, deliberately giving him time for reinforcements to arrive in Jinyang first, so that Sima Xinpifu has the courage to confront us head-on." Uncle Zhou smiled and added: "Only in this way, when we go north to Jinyang, Sima Xinpifu will not pull his army back to the city to defend the city, but will only join forces with his reinforcements and fight us head-on, so that we can hope for a quick victory and not fall into a bitter siege battle." ”

The Han army's civil and military forces suddenly realized, but while praising Uncle Zhou's clever calculations, Ling Jing said again: "General Zhou, don't blame the last general for making bad luck, if we are too big and give Zhang Han and Dong Fei the time to rush to the Jinyang battlefield with their main force together, I am afraid that the situation will be very unfavorable to us." After all, our army is all new recruits and inexperienced, and among the puppet armies such as Zhang Han, Dong Fei and Sima Xin, there are almost 40,000 tyrannical Qin veterans in the total attack. ”

Uncle Zhou laughed and said, "If this is the case, then God will help me, and the time for us to completely wipe out the remnants of the tyrannical Qin San will be even shorter." ”

After laughing, Uncle Zhou didn't explain, but just ordered the 40,000 Han troops to be concentrated under the city of Zishi, seize the time to strengthen training, sharpen their guns in battle, let the Han recruits get familiar with the army and accumulate experience, and patiently wait for the arrival of the Han army's grain transportation brigade. In the end, when the Han army's grain brigade sent the grain and grass to the city of Zishi, and let the Han soldiers and grain transporters rest for two days, Uncle Zhou calmly led the 40,000 Han troops to the north and killed Jinyang by the west bank of Fenshui.

Uncle Zhou's friction of course gave Dong Fei time to reinforce Sima Xin, the Han army's partial division from the Zi clan to the north of Jinyang was only halfway through, Dong Fei had already arrived at the city of Jinyang with his more than 20,000 troops, and Sima Xin's main force was in one place, which also made the total strength of the Jin Zhai coalition army reach nearly 60,000 people, completely reversing the disadvantage in front of the Han army's partial division. Needless to say, after making up his mind, Sima Xin not only dispelled the idea of retreating to the city immediately after the situation was wrong, but also gave birth to a plan to fight a decisive battle with the Han army's partial division, wanting to defeat the Han army's partial division head-on and take advantage of the situation to regain his occupied territory.

Dong Peng raised his hands in agreement with Sima Xin's plan for a decisive battle, believing that although there were 40,000 people in the Han army's partial division, they were all newly recruited recruits, who had never seen blood and lacked actual combat experience, and it was impossible to be the opponent of the old pawns in his own army. Sima Xin stopped Dong Fei and said: "There is no need for that, the Han thieves are far away, the grain and grass are inconvenient, and I am afraid that the king will also send troops south to reinforce us, so I will definitely hope for a quick victory." In that case, why don't we wait patiently for them to arrive at the foot of Jinyang City, take the initiative to attack us, and then defeat his thief army with leisurely labor. ”

As soon as Dong Fei heard the applause, he also calmed down, and asked his army to hurry up and set up a strong camp under Jinyang City, and patiently wait for the arrival of the Han army. As a result, Uncle Zhou naturally did not disappoint them, and two days later, the Han army's partial division, which was protecting a large number of grain and grass, finally arrived near Jinyang, and set up a camp in the area of Jiaoyang, which was more than 20 miles away from Jinyang City.

On the day he arrived near Jinyang, Uncle Zhou sent an envoy carrying a war book to the camp to negotiate with the Jin Zhai coalition army, and asked Sima Xin and Dong Peng to lead the army to the decisive battle in Jiaoyang the next day, hoping for a quick victory. Sima Xin, who expected Uncle Zhou's thoughts, refused with a smile and said: "If you want to fight a decisive battle, you can, but we are not interested in running so far to fight a decisive battle with you, if you want a decisive battle, you will go to Jinyang City by yourself, and this king, King Zhai and your army of thieves will accompany you to the end." ”

Seeing that Sima Xin refused, the envoy of the Han army did not force it, and took a bow and left, but it was just night, and Uncle Zhou began to take revenge on the Jin Zhai coalition army for not giving face - it was night, every other hour, there was a group of Han cavalry suddenly rushed to the camp of the Jin Zhai coalition army, beating gongs and drums, and disturbing the Jin Zhai coalition army with the signature action that Xiang Kang copied from Xu Da, and the Jin Zhai coalition army was afraid that the Han army would suddenly come out of the ten fakes, and every time they were forced to send troops to guard the camp, Be careful of the embankment, the Han army suddenly launched a sneak attack, and was tortured quite painfully.

The situation changed the next day, in order to lure the Jin Zhai coalition army south to the decisive battle of Jiaoyang, Zhou Shu simply sent a thousand cavalry to the Jin Zhai coalition army camp to insult and fight, Sima Xin and Dong Peng were furious and sent cavalry to meet the battle, but just after seeing the Jin Zhai coalition army send troops, the Han cavalry immediately turned their horses' heads and fled directly back to the Jiaoyang camp in a smoke. I used such a shameless method three times in one day.

The next night was the same, the cavalry of the Han army took turns to go out in units of 100 people, and every once in a while they ran to the camp of the Jin Zhai coalition army to shout and beat gongs, disturbing the rest of the Jin Zhai coalition army, and the soldiers of the Jin Zhai coalition army complained, and the anger of Sima Xin and Dong Peng also began to accumulate in their hearts.

On the third day, Uncle Zhou's tricks were renovated again, and he sent someone to send a book to fight in Jiaoyang as soon as he was bright, and after being refused, the Han cavalry ran to insult and fight like the previous day, seducing the Jin and Zhai coalition forces to send troops, constantly adding fuel to the fire, burning the anger of Sima Xin and Dong Peng. And in the evening, Uncle Zhou actually sent an envoy to make an appointment for the second time in one day, and openly threatened in the war book, saying that if the Jin Zhai coalition still refused to accept it, he would definitely try his best to make the Jin Zhai coalition army live day and night.

I have never seen a person who is shameless to this point, Sima Xin and Dong Fei were furious, with the intention of fighting a decisive battle anyway, and simply agreed to Uncle Zhou's appointment to fight, and agreed to meet the Han army in Jiaoyang the next day. And then not to mention, Uncle Zhou really fulfilled his promise, and did not send cavalry to harass him that night, so that An Sheng, a soldier of the Jin Zhai coalition army, rested for the night.

In the early morning of the fourth day, in order to repay Uncle Zhou's words and letters, Sima Xin and Dong Fei also led the main force of the Jin Zhai coalition army to the south to the terrier, fulfilling their promise to fight a decisive battle with the Han army, but to Sima Xin and Dong Fei's surprise, their troops had already lined up outside the Han military camp, and the Han army was still quiet and did not move, and did not see a single soldier out of the camp to fight. And just when Dong Peng and Sima Xin were inexplicable, their extremely familiar singing suddenly sounded in the Han army camp......

"There are cars next to each other, and there are horses and horses. I didn't see the gentleman, the order of the temple people. Han has lacquer, and Yu has chestnut. See the gentleman, and sit on the drum. The present is unhappy, and the deceased is old. Han has mulberry, Xi has Yang. When he saw the gentleman, he sat on the drum spring. The present is unhappy, and the dead are dead. ”

Hearing this Qindi folk song that they have been singing since childhood, Dong Fei and Sima Xinyifa's Zhanger King Kong were confused, but after singing the song "Che Lin", the melody in the Han military camp changed, and countless Han soldiers sang another Qindi folk song in a neat manner......

"The leaves are pale, and the white dew is frost. The so-called Iraqi people are on the water side. Tracing back to it, the road is obstructive and long. Tracing from it, it is like being in the middle of the water. The leaves are green, and the white dew is not dawning. The so-called Yi people are in the water of the Mae. Tracing back to it, the road is blocked and climbing. Tracing from it, it is like being in the water. The leaves are picked, and the white dew is not over. The so-called Yi people are in the water. Tracing back to it, the road is blocked and right. Tracing from it, it is like being in the water. ”

The poignant and ethereal "Pu Jia" made Sima Xin and Dong Fei, who were standing under the flag array, couldn't help but think of a lot of their past events in Qindi, and then when the soldiers of the Han army were about to finish singing all this song, Sima Xin and Dong Fei suddenly realized that something was wrong - the soldiers of the Jin Zhai coalition army around them, there were many people who wiped their tears, and many soldiers couldn't help but sing the folk songs of their hometown with the soldiers of the Han army.

"Fooled!" Dong Fei and Sima Xin finally understood Uncle Zhou's vicious intentions - the core backbone of the Jin Zhai coalition army, all of whom were Qin soldiers who had surrendered to the princes' coalition army with them, had not returned to their hometown to reunite with their relatives for several years, and then heard the folk songs of their hometown, the old Qin soldiers in the Jin Zhai coalition army were naturally homesick, and their morale and fighting spirit were affected together!

"Deliver the yellow bird, stop at the thorns. Who from Mu Gong? The car is dying. This is dying, the special of centurions. In its hole, I am worried. The sky of the sky, annihilate my beloved! If it can be redeemed, a hundred people will ....... ”

At this time, another Qindi folk song "Yellow Bird" was sung in the Han army camp, Sima Xin and Dong Fei of course did not dare to let their soldiers continue to appreciate, and decisively urged the army to launch a strong attack on the camp of the Han army, but the Han soldiers still refused to fight, and they only retreated with random arrows, and the Jin Zhai coalition army was shot back by random arrows several times, and whenever the battle rested, the shouting stopped, and the Han soldiers in the camp immediately sang the Qin song together, so as to arouse the homesickness of the old Qin soldiers in the Jin Zhai coalition army- The recruits of the Han army were all recruited soldiers in Qindi, and it was certainly not difficult to sing a few folk songs that they had been familiar with since childhood.

Keenly found that the morale of the army had been significantly affected, and seeing that Uncle Zhou was playing a bad word and refused to send troops to a decisive battle, Sima Xin and Dong Peng discussed it for a while, and could only scold and quickly retreat back to the camp to rest, so as not to shake the army's morale and give the Han army a chance to take advantage of the fire to rob. The generals of the Han army saw that they all ran to Uncle Zhou to ask for battle, and asked to take the opportunity to send troops to chase and kill, but Uncle Zhou shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't worry, now Sima Xin and Dong Fei must be angry, anxious to find an opportunity to vent, and the old soldiers of Qin Di in their army have just remembered their hometown, and they still have morale and fighting spirit to continue fighting." At this time, the decisive battle is not very sure of us, and even if we win, the loss will definitely not be small, so there is no need to fight hard now. ”

After that, Uncle Zhou beckoned to call Worm Da and Yang Xi to the front of him, and instructed them: "You each take the men and horses of your headquarters to hurry up and rest, prepare dry food and drinking water, after dark tonight, Yang Xi you take 3,000 elite horsemen and ambush them in the dense forest of Luliang Mountain ten miles away from Jinyang, and Worm Da, you take 5,000 infantry and ambush them in the mountains and forests fifteen miles away from Jinyang." Be careful not to hide your tracks from the enemy. ”

"Tomorrow morning, I will personally lead the troops to the city of Jinyang to fight, deceive the enemy to chase after the defeat, and the enemy will definitely divide into two ways and pursue back and forth. Yang Xi, remember, when the enemy's front army passes by your position, you must not attack, let them go and let the worm clean them up, and when the enemy's rear army arrives at your position, you will send troops to attack their waists! Wormda, you too, wait for the enemy's front army to pass a part, and then you send troops to attack their waists! ”

That night, in the camp of the Jin Zhai coalition army, there were Qin folk songs humming low everywhere, and many Qin soldiers of the Jin Zhai coalition army who had not returned to their hometowns for several years still shed tears when humming their hometown folk songs, and then wept silently. And when Dong Fei and Sima Xin found out about these situations, they also became more and more angry in their chests, and they hated Uncle Zhou even more.
