Chapter 278: Good News from Hedong County
Duanshi City, South Korea.
Three years earlier, the city had been conquered by the Qin state of Wu'anjun Bai Qi, and subsequently became one of the bridgeheads for the Qin army's march into the Nanshang Party.
Two years ago, a detachment of the Qin army set out from here to the south, and with the main force of the Qin army from the east of the Cuihan Pass, under the command of Bai Qi, they conquered the two major fortresses of Yewang and Shancheng, and successfully cut off the communication between the Korean mainland and Shangdang County.
A year ago, the Qin army was defeated in Shangdang County and had to be forced to cede land with Zhao to sue for peace, and at Zhao Dan's insistence, Duanshi City was once again returned to Korean hands.
And now, it has become an important base for the Zhao, Wei, Han and Sanjin coalition forces to counterattack Hedong County of Qin.
A full 100,000 Zhao troops, 80,000 Wei troops and 50,000 Korean troops have been gathered here, a total of 230,000 allied troops have gathered together, and they only need to give an order to cross the Bai Cheng in the Taihang Eight Mountains and launch an attack on the Hedong County of the Qin State west of the South Taihang.
The one who commanded this army was naturally Wu Xinjun Lianpo, the well-deserved number one general of Zhao State.
On this day, Lian Po was sitting in the big tent and meditating.
Although he was known for his fiery temper in his early years, in recent years, especially after the Battle of Changping, this Wu Xinjun seems to like this way of sitting alone and thinking.
A sound of footsteps approached from outside the big tent, and after a few moments, Jin Di, who had passed by, appeared in the tent.
"I've seen the general."
Lian Po raised his head slightly, stared at Jin Di in front of him, and looked slightly puzzled in his tiger eyes, and said, "What's the matter?" โ
Jin Huang hesitated for a moment, and then said, "General, when will you be able to fight?" โ
Jin Huang was still quite polite when he spoke.
But politely to be polite, the meaning of war in these words can still be heard at a glance.
For Jin Di, being in a daze here every day is obviously not a very pleasant choice.
Lian Po said very plainly: "At this moment, it is not yet the opportunity to fight." โ
Jin Di was obviously a little impatient, and couldn't help but ask: "Dare to ask the general, when is the time to go to war?" โ
Lian Po's face sank when he heard this, he snorted heavily, and said: "I am the main general, and it is naturally up to me to decide when to fight, why do you need to say more!" โ
This is a very polite statement.
In Lian Po's view, South Korea is just Zhao Guo's younger brother, and Lian Po is now the chief general of the Three Jin Coalition Army, so there is no need to be polite to Jin Di at all.
Jin Di's face was ugly, and he turned around and left.
Lian Po watched Jin Di's back disappear from his sight, and his mood was also a little unhappy.
If it weren't for the fact that Jin Huang was not a general of Zhao Guo but a Korean general, Lian Po would have taught him a hard lesson with military law a long time ago.
"These soldiers of Han Wei are just some local chickens and tile dogs, and they are not the opponents of the Qin people at all when they fight, the king might as well directly dispatch 200,000 elite Zhao troops to me, I will definitely be able to take Hedong and triumph!"
Lian Po's heart was also full of complaints.
For any general, offense is always something more enjoyable and desirable than defense, and Lian Po is certainly no exception.
If it was according to Lian Po's temperament, he should have launched an attack after the army was assembled a while ago.
But the problem is that Lian Po actually said that this matter doesn't count.
Zhao Dan didn't let him attack.
Zhao Dan is the real supreme ruler of Zhao State, no matter how unhappy Lian Po is, it is impossible to disobey Zhao Dan's orders.
So Lian Po really wants to say to Jin Di, if you have the ability, go to the king of my Zhao Kingdom.
According to Zhao Dan's order, Lian Po must wait for news from the direction of Hedong County before taking the next step to see the situation.
As for what is about to happen in Hedong County, Lian Po, as the main general, is of course aware.
In fact, it was Hedong County that Lian Po sent Zhao Kuo to.
Zhao Kuo has been going for half a month, but he has not replied for a long time, which makes Lian Po feel a little impatient.
It's winter, and if you fight in the winter, the non-combat attrition will become very serious.
For Lian Po, who loves soldiers like a son, he actually doesn't want to fight any siege warfare at this time, which will definitely make the attacker suffer heavy losses.
Attacking the city in winter, it's really stupid.
If you can smoothly take Hedong County with a surprise attack, it would be the best.
Anyway, Lian Po is also a feudal monarch now, and the title has reached the top, so he actually doesn't have such an urgent desire for military exploits.
Besides, as long as Hedong County is taken, Lian Po, as the commander of the Three Jin Alliance, will his exploits be so small?
Just when Lian Po was distracted, a rush of footsteps suddenly came from outside the tent.
"General, urgent, Hedong urgent!"
Lian Po suddenly stood up and said in a loud voice: "Where is it?" Quick, get people in! โ
Soon, a young man dressed in the uniform of a Qin soldier appeared in front of Lian Po, and a chill poured in from outside the tent.
This is obviously the messenger from Hedong.
Lian Po hurriedly asked, "How is the situation?" โ
Although the envoy's face was red from the cold, his words revealed incomparable joy when he spoke: "General, Meng Fu is dead, and now the 50,000 county soldiers outside Anyi City are under control. The captain ordered me to report back to the general, and asked the general to march into Hedong County as soon as possible, and there will be changes later! โ
As soon as this sentence came out, Lian Po was suddenly overjoyed, and patted the person on the shoulder hard: "Okay!" โ
With a bang, the person who came was directly slapped by Lian Po and fell to the ground.
ยทยทยท
Lian Po coughed dryly, and with some embarrassment, he helped the immobile messenger up, handed it over to the guards to take care of, and immediately couldn't wait to give an order.
"Order the generals, all of them must be assembled within a quarter of an hour, otherwise the military law will deal with it!"
A quarter of an hour later, all the generals were gathered in Lianpo's big tent, including the generals of Wei and Korea.
Lian Po looked around at the generals in the tent, and then said: "Today I want to tell you a good news, Hedong County is already in our pocket!" โ
As soon as Lian Po said this, the faces of the generals in the tent immediately showed surprised expressions.
Lian Po didn't explain much, and shouted directly: "Where is Lecheng? โ
Le Cheng immediately flashed out from among the generals: "Le Cheng is here!" โ
Lian Po nodded, and said to Le Cheng: "You immediately lead five thousand elite soldiers to advance in the starry night, and you must rush to Pigao City as soon as possible!" After the capture of the leather prison, you will lead the army to continue to advance, and only take the Qin army camp in Anyi! โ
Le Cheng was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately saluted Lian Po, and said loudly: "The last general will be ordered!" โ
Lian Po continued to speak: "Where is Jin Huang? โ
Jin Huang also walked out and said, "Jin Huang is here." โ
To be honest, the current Jin Di is still a little unclear about the situation, less than half an hour ago, Lian Po still looked reluctant to send troops, why has it changed now?
Lian Poke didn't care what Jin Huang was thinking in his head, and directly issued an order: "Jin Huang, you also led 10,000 Han troops to follow after Lecheng, take over the leather prison city for Lecheng's subordinates, and then hold the city and wait for the arrival of the army!" โ
Jin Di's face was straight, and he said the same: "Order!" โ
After Le Cheng and Jin Huang left, Lian Po continued: "The rest of the generals will return to the camp immediately, and the whole army will immediately set out to attack Hedong!" We will definitely win this battle! โ
The camp of the Sanjin Alliance, which had been silent for many days, finally woke up slowly like a sleeping beast under Lian Po's order.
Bands of allied soldiers hurried out of the camp and braved the snow and wind to head west.
There, there is an immensely fertile land waiting for them to conquer!
