Chapter 75: Reminder
If the king has something to say, just say it! Li Xin saw his expression and gestured.
"Yes. In response to the Guanzhong Rebellion, this 10,000-strong army is indeed not much. I don't disagree on this. There may be no problem in a short period of time, but if it takes a little longer, I am afraid that this army of 10,000 people will not be able to raise it. You have to think long-term in this matter! Wang Meng looked at him for a moment, and then said.
"I know, I've thought about it carefully. After the expansion of the army, it is only necessary to wait for the opportunity to come, and once the time is ripe, it will naturally come in handy. Fu Qin and Huan Wen are fighting, which is naturally a good thing for us, and we can take the opportunity to do our own thing! Li Xin nodded, telling him not to worry too much.
"General, this time Huan Wen attacked Guanzhong, can our Huashan Army help him?" At this time, one of the team members suddenly asked.
This question is not ordinary, after all, from this question, we can see the general strategic direction of the Huashan Army. If you help Huan Wen, does it mean that you will stand with the Jiangzuo court in the future, if you don't help each other, it doesn't seem appropriate.
"Huan Wen personally led tens of thousands of troops to come, and Fu Qin fought with tens of thousands of troops, this war is already beyond the ability of our Huashan army. Our current strength is more than enough for self-preservation, and if we are really involved in such a big war, I am afraid it will be exhausted in a few clicks. Of course, this matter depends on the situation, we don't directly intervene in their war, but it's not a bad thing to help Huan Wen at the right time! Li Xin knew what he meant, and he had already thought about it himself on this issue.
What's more, he knows this history, and he knows that Huan Wen will not succeed at all this time, and if he follows Huan Wen, I'm afraid he will have to put himself in. Therefore, his attitude towards this matter is more flexible.
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but nod. These people have never dealt with the Jin army, and relatively speaking, they have neither bad feelings nor good feelings. Especially because the Huashan Army is doing well now, relatively speaking, they will not recall the Jin Dynasty. For everyone, the most important thing is naturally to ensure the good life of the Huashan Army, and the rest is not so important.
"That's all for today's business! You all go down and prepare, and soon, we'll have to fight for a long time. After discussing for a while, Li Xin sent everyone out, leaving Wang Meng alone.
"How are Fu Qin going to deal with Huan Wen over there?" There were only two people in the lobby, Wang Meng asked directly.
"All the forces in Guanzhong are being summoned and ready to resist Huan Wen. In Guanzhong now, I'm afraid that only our side still has Fu Qin's army left. However, as the fighting rages on, I think this force will eventually be completely withdrawn. There is another one, that is, Fu Qin is ready to cut off all the wheat in Guanzhong, so as to break Huan Wen's thoughts. Li Xin didn't hide it, and told him.
"It seems that Fu Qin was indeed forced by Huan Wen to have no choice! However, the wheat in the field is still green now, and if all of them are cut, although Huan Wen will not be able to borrow the grain from Guanzhong, the people of Guanzhong will also suffer! You're not going to do nothing in this matter, are you? Hearing this, Wang Meng couldn't help but ponder for a moment before he said.
"Those who know me, Wang Jingluo also! I didn't do anything, I just sent someone to find a way to send a letter to Huan Wen. At the same time, some more people were arranged to tell the people everywhere the news that the Fu Qin court was going to cut all the wheat. Hearing this, Li Xin couldn't help laughing, and after shaking his head helplessly, he said.
"In this way, Fu Qin's idea can be regarded as broken by you. Although Huan Wen is a meritorious person, in my opinion, his talent is not very high. In order to achieve the goal of marching quickly, it must not have enough food, and under the long distance, it must count on the food in Guanzhong. But being fooled by Fu Qin like this, when he really enters the Guanzhong, I'm afraid he will have to face difficulties. In this way, it gave Fu Qin an opportunity to take advantage of. I hope this reminder of yours can make him wake up! Wang Meng also laughed, and after thinking for a while, he nodded.
Soon, the news began to spread in the land of Guanzhong that Fu Qin was going to cut all the wheat. At this time, Fu Qin had not yet had time to put all this idea into practice. This incident made the people's resentment towards Fu Qin reach a peak, after all, how many people point to that bit of food to live.
In some places, the people tried to resist, but the result was naturally not much better. The people had no choice, and they could only watch as the soldiers and horses of Fu Qin wiped out all the wheat seedlings in this way. However, the seeds of secretly opposing Fu Qin have already been planted.
In March, Huan Wen's troops went to Wuguan to discuss the war, so they stayed for a while. And it was at this time that the letter sent by Li Xin arrived.
"What do you think of this letter?" In the tent of the Chinese army, Huan Wen left Xi Chao and showed him the letter sent by Li Xin.
"Where is the origin of this Huashan Army, has the general ever found out?" Xi Chao didn't answer directly, and after a deep groan, he asked.
"The Huashan Army was formed by the displaced people in Guanzhong, because they hid in Taihua Mountain before, so they were named. When the year was last year, Guanzhong Kong Zhi and others got into trouble, so they also went down the mountain, and at the beginning, there were only 1,000 people. But who would have thought that in the next few months, they actually defeated the Qin soldiers and horses in a row, occupied Huayin County, and later fought all the way to the west, and so far Zheng County and Huayin have been connected. Relying on Weishui to block it, this place was built like an iron bucket, and Fu Qin had no way to take them. It is said that now the Huashan Army has 5,000 soldiers, and its strength is not small! When Huan Wen heard this, he thought for a moment before he said.
"If this is the case, this Huashan Army is by no means simple. Judging from his special letter to remind the general of the matter of military rations, it seems that we should be friendly with us. If the general is in the pass, I might as well meet this person, if it can be used by me, it will not be a good thing! Xi Chao nodded and said. He didn't know much about Huashan Army, so he could only judge it by the little information he got temporarily.
That's what I mean. However, as Li Hantang said in his letter, Fu Qin knew that I was referring to the ripe wheat in Guanzhong as military food, so he had already begun to cut wheat and clear the field. In this way, it will ruin my plan, and before entering the customs, this matter must be solved first! Huan Wen nodded, and then said with some concern.
"This is indeed a problem, Gangneung is a long way, and it costs a lot to transport military rations from there, but I am afraid that it may not be able to sustain the army. The sailor can only reach Xichuan, and then he has to take the land transportation, so it is also quite unsafe, and it is easy to be taken advantage of by the enemy. Of course, Xi Chao knew the impact of this, and he couldn't help but worry.
"Yes! But the army has been sent and cannot be retreated. Do you have a solution to this problem? Huan Wen asked.
"The longer the labor expedition, the more unfavorable it will be for us. In the humble opinion of our subordinates, we must fight a quick battle, either to wipe out all the Fu Qin's army, or at least to block the Fu Qin's army in the north so that it cannot threaten our grain routes, in this way, it may be a way! Xi Chao thought for a while and said.
"At this point, there is no other way, but what you say is feasible. In this way, I divided my troops into action, I led my troops to attack Wuguan, and sent others to take Shangluo and attack Jingzhou of Qin! Go north as soon as possible and enter Guanzhong to facilitate the war! Huan Wen thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
Soon, Huan Wen led people to attack Wuguan, and on the other side, he divided his troops to Fengyangchuan, but the two places did not fight particularly smoothly. Fortunately, in the end, they were all laid, and Guo Jing, the assassin of Fu Qin, was also caught. After that, he went north to attack Qingni City, and it was also broken south of Lantian County in later generations. At this time, the flames of war finally burned to Guanzhong.
Fu Qin raised a large army, there were 50,000 people, and Fu Jian sent the prince Fu Chang, the prime minister Fu Xiong, the king of Huainan Fu Sheng and others to lead the army to garrison in Liucheng to block Huan Wen. This Liucheng is also not far from the south of Lantian County in later generations, and it is named because it is close to the mountain.
This place is close to Qin Shiyaoguan, but after many years of war, Yaoguan is already dilapidated. In addition, before Fu Jing defeated Shangluo, the Fu Qin court regarded the places south of the pass as its own territory, so naturally it would not repair this pass, but now it is convenient for Huan Wen to come over.
In April, the two armies finally met. A fierce battle broke out in Lantian County, and the county seat of Lantian at this time was about twenty miles west of Lantian County in later generations. When the two sides were fighting, the sound of the soldiers killing and killing could be described as earth-shattering, and the sound was heard more than ten miles away.
At this time, Sima Xun, the assassin of Liangzhou, also came from Hanzhong and plundered west of Guanzhong. At the same time, the Wang Zheng, who had previously taken refuge in Qianliang and was named the Assassin of Qinzhou, also took the opportunity to respond to Huan Wen at this time. Coming from the direction of Qinzhou, they stormed Chencang County west of Chang'an, which was not far from Chencang County in later generations.
When the two armies were fighting, Li Xin, Li Erhei and others, who received the news, stood in the upper reaches of the river near the Qinling Mountains. Although it is not close to Lantian County, the key is that the terrain is high enough, and the ground is flat underneath, so even if you can't see it very clearly, you can at least see a rough appearance.
"Spectacular! The two sides add up to nearly 100,000 people, right? It's the first time I've seen such a big scene! Look at this army formation, company and camp, stretching for several miles, you come and go on both sides, and the killing is fierce, it is really shocking! Li Erhei was very surprised when he saw this scene, but he was more excited. This guy naturally likes this kind of scene, after all, he has always wanted to be a real general, and he wants to command thousands of troops and horses to fight on the battlefield. 166 Reading Network
