Chapter 649: Attack the Sixteen Counties of Dongqi!

Han Xin led his troops to garrison the county town of western Tibet, so it only took one day to get to the county seat. Chen Qingzhi is in Jiangquanzhou, and the distance is long, so he has to be a few days late.

Although Zhang Liang did not clearly state the reason for urgently summoning him to face the saint in the eagle letter, he had already sensed His Majesty's intentions, so he was very excited. His eyes had long been locked on the west, and if he wanted to cross the river, he would meet the soldiers and horses of the Qin State.

Now it's finally time for the opportunity.

The next day, Han Xin rushed to the county seat and entered the capital to meet Xiao Rui.

Xiao Rui asked him to get up and take a good look at him. The two have been separated for three or four years, and he was once a servant, and he has completely transformed into a commander, full of the demeanor of a general.

Among all the characters who came to Xiao Rui, Han Xin's background was the worst, after all, he was a servant of the Princess Mansion of Yan Kingdom, but he was also the most grateful to Xiao Rui, without Xiao Rui's appreciation of him, he would not have today's achievements at all.

"Humble Han Xin to see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Han Xin bowed down, which showed his excitement after seeing Xiao Rui.

Xiao Rui personally helped him up and said with a smile: "No need to give a big gift, hurry up." I haven't seen him for a few years, but I have really become a commander, and it seems that I have sharpened well on the battlefield, and I have not been disappointed. ”

Han Xin stood up and replied: "The lowly functions have today, they are all important to Your Majesty, and the lowly ones are willing to report to Your Majesty for the Great Xia Horse Leather Shroud!" ”

"You don't need your horse leather shroud, you just need to lead the troops and lead the generals well, and open up the territory for me, I don't want anyone to fight the world for me, but no one will accompany me to witness. Last time, the ovary returned to Beijing to report on work, and said that you are studying the formation, how many formations are you now? Xiao Rui said curiously.

Han Xin was a little embarrassed, and said embarrassedly: "I have already studied the Five Tigers and Sheep Formation, and they are all on paper, and it is also a small fight to exterminate the traitors in ordinary times, so I don't need to let it." Let Your Majesty laugh! ”

"Who said you can't use it, it's time for you to show your talents!" Xiao Rui said with a smile.

Han Xin said excitedly: "Your Majesty wants to fight the Qin State? ”

Xiao Rui nodded and said, "It's not a large-scale national war, and the current Great Xia should also focus on savings." However, this is a rare opportunity, so I am ready to send you and Qingzhi's soldiers to divide into two ways and take down the old land of the sixteen counties of Zhao State. I heard that Meng Yi is a famous general of the Qin State, who has won a hundred battles and is proficient in formations, do you have the confidence to defeat him and drive them to the west of the Qinling Mountains? ”

Han Xin said arrogantly: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, the humble post will complete the task!" ”

"Good!" Xiao Rui naturally believed in Han Xin's ability.

Three days later, Xiao He, Shen Wansan, Dian Wei, Chen Qingzhi, Wu Zhanfa and others rushed back to the county seat.

Zhang Liang set up a banquet, this is the first time that Xiao Rui has dined with them since he sat on the throne. It's a pity that the identity has changed, before he was a prince, he could still get closer, but now he has become an emperor, and everyone is in awe.

Except for Dian Wei.

"Your Majesty, I heard that someone broke into the palace and assassinated you? Who is it? Go down and kill him! Dian Wei shouted.

Nie, who was drinking on the side, was choked, and coughed a few times in succession, a little embarrassed.

Along the way, he accompanied Xiao Rui to Yingzhou, to Anbei Prefecture, and then here, he felt a lot, one of which was that there were too many masters around Xiao Rui.

Li Yuanfang and Qinglian swordsman stepped into the super product, Wang Dazhi is a half-step super product, I heard that Li Cunxiao and Yang Youji are also super products, and now they add this big man.

Nima...

Gai Nie couldn't help but sigh.

There used to be a super-grade master in the Shenzhou Continent who did not exceed the number of hands, but now there are five people gathered around the Great Xia Emperor, could it be that Xiao Rui has a panacea?

That's right, there must be!

He had seen Xiao Rui taking an elixir, so his cultivation could improve steadily.

I'm so envious, but it's a pity that I don't have the cheek to ask for it.

Xiao Rui glanced at the embarrassed lid Nie, and then said to Dian Wei, "It was a misunderstanding last time. I heard that Zhang Liang and Xiao He were assassinated several times, and you sacrificed your life to save them, you did a good job! ”

Dian Wei scratched his head and said with a smile: "Your Majesty explained what his subordinates did, and his subordinates had to do it well." By the way, Your Majesty, I heard that the Qin army is going to be beaten, and my subordinates also want to participate, so I implore Your Majesty to agree! ”

"Good! It's going to make you go into battle and kill the enemy! Han Xin, Chen Qingzhi! Xiao Rui took advantage of the banquet and immediately began to give orders.

"Humble duty!" Han Xin and Chen Qingzhi immediately went out to listen to the order.

Xiao Rui ordered: "Han Xin, I ordered you to be the general of Yunlu, and transfer the soldiers and horses of the guards of Western Tibet County and Lingshan County to form an army of 100,000 and cross the Jiangxi Expedition. Your mission is simple, go north to encircle and suppress Meng Yi. The Mongol tribe has Guo Jia as an internal response, and he will persuade Temujin to cooperate with us and encircle and suppress Meng Yi together. ”

"Humble Command!" Han Xin responded.

Xiao Rui looked at Chen Qingzhi again and said, "Chen Qingzhi, I order you to be the general of Guide, and transfer the soldiers and horses of the internal guards of Jiangquanzhou, Jiangzhongzhou, and Yuanzhou to form an army of 100,000 and cross the Jiangxi expedition. Your mission is different from Han Xin's, your goal is to sweep away the Qin army one by one, starting from the south. I want to include all the sixteen counties in the territory of Great Xia! ”

"Humble Command!" Chen Qingzhi also said excitedly.

Xiao Rui looked at Zhang Liang and Xiao He again, and asked, "Before gathering troops, is there a way to make the old people of Zhao State in the sixteen counties revolt and riot?" ”

Zhang Liang nodded and said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, Weichen has a good plan, just spread rumors, saying that Emperor Ying ascended the throne and is ready to add taxes and servitude to the original Zhao people in the sixteen counties, and at the same time, it is rumored that the Zhao people who have not intermarried with the Qin people will not be allowed to enter the court as officials within five generations!" ”

At this time, Jia Xu smiled and said: "Your Majesty, in the opinion of Weichen, you can send someone to burn the imperial tomb of the Zhao royal family, dig up the tomb, and disguise it as the Qin people." ”

If Zhang Liang's plan is to intensify the rebellion of the Zhao people, then Jia Xu's poisonous plan is to provoke the anger of the Zhao people. Now in the sixteen counties, all the brothers of Emperor Zhao are trying in vain to restore the country, and now their ancestral graves have been dug up, and they will be sorry for the ancestors and ancestors underground if they can bear it.

"Okay, just do what you two want, ovary, and leave this matter to you." Xiao Rui said with a smile.

"We're in command." Zhang Liang replied.

After the banquet, Han Xin and Chen Qingzhi retreated with the tiger talisman in their hands, and immediately left the county town at night.

At the same time, Wei Guang took Xiao Rui's handwritten message and rushed to Qijiang County to inform Gan Ning and ask him to prepare to cross the river. Yingxin also flew back to Kyoto with Xiao Rui's order and informed the cabinet and the military department of his arrangements.

The Anxi Prefectures, which had been quiet for more than two years, became active again, Han Xin and Chen Qingzhi quickly dispatched the soldiers of the guard to assemble, and within twelve days, the 200,000 troops were assembled, and the grain and grass were ready, and they set off immediately.

Han Xin went first, he set out from Zangxi County, but did not choose to go west directly, but made a sloppy eye, first let 20,000 soldiers and horses make a momentum and then quickly went north, so as to attract the scouts of the Qin State. After waiting for the soldiers and horses to leave the north, he first led 20,000 soldiers and horses to the west in a low-key manner, and rushed to the east bank of the Qijiang River in a rapid march.

The result of this was that although the Qin side noticed the movement of Han Xin's soldiers and horses, they thought that Han Xin was going north, and before they could react, Han Xin had already rushed to Qijiang with his soldiers.

Since the Qijiang battalion of the Qin State was uprooted by Gan Ning, the Qin army did not form a new naval battalion, but sent troops to defend it on the shore. Originally, Meng Yi sent troops to garrison, but later Meng Yi went north, so he left troops on the opposite bank of the three water military camps in Daxia to defend and avoid crossing the river in Daxia to attack.

Among them, 80,000 soldiers and horses were stationed opposite the Jinfan Battalion, which was stationed on the side of the Qijiang River.

If you cross the river during the day, you will be easily discovered by the Qin army, and although the warships of Great Xia are strong, forcing them ashore will also cause losses to the army. Neither Han Xin nor Gan Ning wanted to suffer losses before winning the first battle.

So I chose to go on a night crossing.

So he first sent elite soldiers to kill the Qin scouts on the west bank, and then on the eve of the early morning, when the sky was still dark, all the warships were dispatched at the same time to transport Han Xin's most elite 20,000 advance troops.

Han Xin, who went ashore, led 20,000 soldiers and horses, and with the cooperation of the Jinfan battalion, took the lead in launching a sneak attack on the garrison Qin army camp.

He was dumbfounded and shouted, "Han Xin? Didn't he go north? It's only been a few days, how could he have killed him from Zangxi County! ”

Han Xin took advantage of the speed of the soldiers, only bringing rations and weapons, just to catch them off guard, and the Great Xia bow was strong and fast, and with the help of gunpowder, the defeat of the Qin army was inevitable, so in desperation, the Qin army could only retreat.

Han Xin pursued for more than 20 miles, then stopped the pursuit, and then returned to the shore, directly occupied the magpie's nest, occupied the camp tents and grain and grass left by the Qin army to escape, and then set up a defensive formation.

After taking the west bank, the follow-up army will be able to go ashore safely and avoid being stuck in the throat by the Qin army. Next, Ganning will also build a camp in the West Bank, so that nothing goes wrong.

After a few more days of waiting, the army arrived one after another.

When all the 200,000 troops crossed the river, the real war began, and Han Xin and Chen Qingzhi's troops divided into two routes, one to the south and the other to the north.

As early as when Han Xin and Chen Qingzhi were rectifying their troops and horses, Zhang Liang sent people to spread rumors in Dongqi Prefecture, which caused the old people of Zhao to panic, and spread the matter of the ancestral tomb of the Zhao royal family being dug up, so the hidden Zhao people began to rebel again.

When Han Xin and Chen Qingzhi crossed the river, there were varying degrees of rebellion in the six counties in the southern part of the Dongqi region. Coupled with the news that the soldiers and horses of Great Xia crossed the river to attack, the people in the sixteen counties were panicked.

The news also came back to Qindu.

Emperor Ying was furious, but he didn't expect that Xia Guo would also come to take advantage of the fire to rob. Because King Xiang and King Zhuang had not yet been suppressed, it was impossible for Emperor Ying to transfer Bai Meng and Meng Tian, so Meng Yi was appointed as the general of Anguo, fully responsible for the military affairs of the sixteen counties of Dongqi, and the soldiers and horses of the sixteen counties were deployed by him, and the Xia army must be driven back.

It's a pity that Meng Yi's situation is not very optimistic at this time.

As Xiao Rui said, Guo Jia naturally persuaded Temujin and reached a tacit cooperation plan with Daxia, Temujin rashly 150,000 cavalry went south, Meng Yi had to fight against the Yuan army in the north, and now he had to face the killing of Daxia soldiers and horses, even if there were 700,000 soldiers in the sixteen counties, he also felt deeply troubled.
