Chapter 368: Goodbye Turns Out to Be an Old Man
In the following 20 days, 30,000 new troops recruited from all over Hedong within half a year arrived in Huangyin City one after another according to the requirements of Lihua.
When the 80,000 Chu army came to the east of the ruined Huangyin City under the leadership of Mi Chunxi, Lihua had just received the cheerful news from Liang Qingshu that "Xieyu Pass has been breached, and the remnants of the Rong army in the five counties of Xieyu East have fled back to Guanxi":
"Zuo is a bigger person in Taijian, and the last general is fortunate to be a non-person, that Shi Yanyu does hate Edo for killing Zuo Gengfangshuai, so he agreed with the last general to cooperate with the outside and seize Huangyin City.
The day of the break of the city coincided with the news of the defeat of the Huangyin Rong army, so the last general, 7,000 men and horses of General Wei and 18,000 men and horses of General Wei Huan, under the arrangement of General Shi, took advantage of the panic in Xieyu Pass to quickly enter the city and kill the drunken Edo.
Seeing this, the 3,000 Qin troops of the original left and the old division in the city begged to surrender to our army, and are now imprisoned in the Xieyu Pass, while another 10,000 Kunpeng soldiers fled out of the city pass by night and fled westward.
After discussing with the two generals Wei and Wei, the last general decided to hold the Xieyu Pass, so he did not go out of the city to pursue the fleeing army.
The next day, the marshal of the Rong army, Lin Xu, and the big head Qiuzi led the remnants of the army of more than 40,000 people to cross the Xieyu Pass, and our army also did not go out of the city to fight with it, and the Rong army did not have the slightest desire to recapture the Xieyu Pass.
I think they must have lost their fighting spirit under Huangyin City......."
The Battle of Huangyin, which lasted for half a year, finally ended with the victory of the Qin people.
Zhu Lihua took the letter written by Liang Qingshu and looked at it over and over again, but in his mind, he once again remembered the conversation he had with Lin Xu outside Huangyin City that day, and remembered Lin Xu's depression when he lamented that he was "defeated".
Thinking about it, Lin Xu had already guessed that he would send troops to attack Xieyu Pass, and that Xiongguan must not be able to defend it.
Sighing that Lin Xu's material was like a god but he still suffered a big loss in his own hands, Zhu Lihua couldn't help but smile slightly, and put the letter on the case.
"Let's go, go pick up the fourth princess."
Double happiness came to the door, and Lu Lihua swept away the sadness from the heart of the corpse of the buried robe Ze every day in recent days, and personally went out of the city with Zhao Xi and others to welcome Mi Chunxi, who came with the help of the troops.
But Zhu Lihua didn't expect that what he was waiting for was the sad face of Mi Chunxi.
This made Lu Lihua take aback unguarded, and knew in his heart that it must have happened in the rear that something very serious had happened, so it would make women and heroes like Princess Mi Si become depressed.
After some proper etiquette and greetings, Zhu Lihua and Mi Chunxi came to Huangyin City, and Mi Chunxi told Zhu Lihua a very shocking news:
Three months ago, the 20,000 troops of the Rong army led the 200,000 surrendered and recruited Qi troops under the leadership of Xiao Jinxing to the south in six routes, and broke through more than ten passes of the Huangshui defense line in just ten days.
After that, the six roads of men and horses drove straight in, and in two months, they crisscrossed all the counties and counties in the territory of Qi State, and successively defeated 260,000 Qi troops.
After that, the soldiers and horses of the Sixth Route suddenly made a detour, advancing from the south to the north to Tokyo, forcing Lian Min, who was in charge of the defense of Huangshui, to lead the remnants of 50,000 soldiers who could be gathered to flee into the city of Tokyo.
Just one day before Mi Chunxi led his army to Huangyin, Xiao Wenkao, who happened to be sent by the Qi State to Yaoping for help, had just arrived in Yaoping.
According to him, although there are 150,000 soldiers and horses in the city of Tokyo in Qi now, no one in the panic understands that it is probably only a matter of time before this Tokyo city is breached.
Therefore, the Duke of Qi sent Xiangbang Tian Dong and Keqing Xiao Hongfei and Zhengqing Xiao Wenkao to Shu, Chu, and Qin for help respectively, and he pinned all his hopes on the three of them.
"The yellow water moat seems to be difficult to cross, but in fact it is extremely unfavorable to the defending side.
At the beginning, when Zuo Daren was in Shenjing Drunken Weng Pavilion, he proposed that the Qi and Chu coalition armies should divide their troops into ten routes to the north, probably because they wanted to strike first against the enemy and gradually regain the lost ground when the Rong army was unstable.
Now it seems that the Rong people used your plan to successfully occupy the land of Qi in the south.
Alas, it would have been nice if everyone had listened to you in the first place. ”
Zuo Geng, who was seated as the guest of honor, and the fourth princess of Chu withdrew from the house after pouring tea and water, leaving only the two who had not seen each other for a long time to talk in the house.
Seeing that Qi Chunxi had a lonely look full of regret after finishing speaking, Lihua immediately smiled bitterly.
I thought that I went to Shenjing with confidence, and I wanted the army of Chu to send troops to help. Even if the people of Chu don't come to help the desperate Qin State, then at least let them help the Qi State fight against the Rong army and share a little pressure for themselves.
But who would have thought that when he met Ji Yinan on his trip to Shenjing, he lost his beloved, and Mi Chunxi's 500,000 Chu army had internal strife and collapsed in an instant.
Thinking of the past, Zhu Lihua couldn't help but shake his head gently, feeling in his heart that creation made people.
"Fourth princess, I heard that Gongzi Jia has now been driven to the corner of South Vietnam by the princess, and the princess has been able to turn the tide in just over half a year, which really makes Zhu Lihua admire.
But I don't know that the princess led the army north to aid our army this time, so what if Gongzi Jia makes waves again? ”
Seeing that Lihua had obviously changed the topic, Qi Chunxi suddenly blushed and glanced at Lihua and said softly:
After the lord sent someone to escort Chunxi back to Jingjun, Chunxi immediately issued a proclamation to the world, exposing the disdainful collusion between the second brother and Ji Lu, and then sent troops to attack the second brother.
After that, the armies of the counties of our Chu State abandoned the darkness and came to join me, so after a battle outside Nanjing, the defeated second brother had to defect to the Yue people again.
However, compared with the Huangyin Anti-Japanese War, this kind of thing is indeed a bit trivial, and it is not worthy of praise from the left.
I've already heard Xiaoxi tell me what happened in Huangyin, the Qin army is really a strong army in the world.
Chunxi admired it very much. ”
Mi Chunxi did not hide his admiration for Qin Jun in the slightest, which was not unexpected by Lu Lihua.
Compared with that Zhao Xi, Mi Chunxi is extremely broad-minded, which has been felt by Lihua as early as Shenjing.
Otherwise, when she returned to the Chu State, how could the soldiers and horses of the various counties defect to her one after another and abandon the seemingly powerful Gongzi Jia.
The two talked for a long time, and analyzed the pros and cons of sending troops to rescue Tokyo, but the two finally came to the conclusion that Qi Guo was really finished.
Not to mention that the Shu State has always had nothing to do with itself and has a high-minded mentality, at this time, it is absolutely impossible to send troops to cross the Hedong County of the Qin State to rescue the distant Qi State, even if the Chu State is in the current situation of civil strife, it is impossible to send troops to attack the uncertain Rong army in the territory of the Qi State.
And the Qin State is now under the situation of being attacked on both sides, and it cannot and simply does not have the extra troops to send troops to rescue the Qi State.
Therefore, the demise of the Qi State was only in the blink of an eye.
Subsequently, Lu Lihua analyzed the current situation in Hedong County. So when Mi Chunxi heard the news that Xie Yuguan had been captured by Lihua, a trace of fear suddenly appeared in her eyes when she looked at Lihua.
Mi Chunxi looked at the jade-faced man in front of her who had left a deep influence on her when she was sixteen years old, but for the first time there was a faint rejection in her heart.
"Thoughtful, bold, thoughtful, and far-reaching."
This is Mi Chunxi's extremely high evaluation of Zhu Lihua, but there are four words hidden behind these sixteen words, but it is an evaluation that Mi Chunxi does not dare to think about and even refuses to admit, that is, "ruthless".
From beginning to end, the Battle of Huangyin was a big gamble with the lives of more than 100,000 horses.
Although Zhu Lihua won the ending in the end, there were too many people who died, and where was the price that a passionate person could pay.
Seeing that Mi Chunxi was staring at him deadly, except for confusion in his eyes, he no longer had the bravery and momentum that a national commander should have, but Zhu Lihua, who suddenly came out of the analysis of the general trend of the world in his mind, was confused, and asked strangely: "What is the princess thinking?" ”
"I'm thinking, if Chunxi could ask the name of the son in the teahouse when he went to Wonju, maybe Chunxi wouldn't be like this now.
Chun-hee is reluctant to fight, and even more unwilling to lead the soldiers to fight, no matter who the dead person is, Chun-hee does not want to see it. ”
"Wonju?
Teahouse?
Son? ”
Hearing Mi Chunxi's words, it was full of girlish thoughts, but when she heard the words, she was suddenly stunned, but she seemed to have caught something, and thought about Mi Chunxi's words seriously.
Isn't the son of the Wonju Teahouse talking about himself?
Just a few days after opening the store, he went to the side, so how did Mi Chunxi know that he had opened a teahouse?
Recalling the past seven or eight years ago, Zhu Lihua's eyes suddenly widened, and her eyes looked at the delicate and lovely but infinitely heroic Princess Mi in front of her, and looked at the pair of watery eyes.
That eye can't be wrong.
"Childe, if you don't speak again, I think you're hysterical?"
In the teahouse that year, wasn't she the woman with thick eyebrows and big eyes who was entertained with a pot of Chu tea?
It's just that although the woman and Mi Chunxi are extremely similar, after all, one is fat and one is thin, one has rough skin, and the other has skin like snow, how can they be the same person?
"Zuo Daren, did you think of something?" As if she had guessed that Lu Lihua recalled the past, she smiled sweetly.
"When I opened a teahouse that year, I once drank tea with a girl from Chu who came to Qin to do business, and the woman was wearing a pink and white skirt, but she was ........"
"It's just that the woman was wearing a pink and white dress, with a bloated figure and dark and rough skin, and she used to be vexatious in your teahouse, but she was invited by you to taste tea in her Accord, right?"
Mi Chunxi stroked the tips of the hair on his forehead slightly behind his ears, and then smiled and looked at Zhu Lihua with a stunned face.
Mi Chunxi's smile made Yu Lihua suddenly discover that the fourth princess of Mi was not only sassy and heroic, but also charming and charming.
It's no wonder that Ji Yinan wanted to get her at the beginning.
"Fool, I really don't know if you are really confused or pretending to be confused, don't you know that my Chu State is close to South Vietnam, where there is a unique skill called the disguise technique?"
"Is it really you?"
"Why, do you not like to see me or do you want to see her?"
