Chapter 127 - Luring the Snake Out of the Hole, Poison Jia Xu
Just when the northern battlefield was in the dark, the Xiongnu and the Han army were fighting.
The battlefield of Yizhou has already started a big war. And the Han army lost three counties in one day!
Since Zhao Tuo led his troops north a month ago, he took Nanning and his brother Zhao Kuangyin's soldiers into two routes. Zhao Tuo's army advanced all the way to the north, and in ten days, he took the entire Guiyang County. Then go north and take Bashu and Jiangyang
However, the two cities are horns of each other, one side is in trouble, the other side can feel it within two hours, and both cities have a small natural river as a barrier.
This made it more laborious for the Qin army to attack. For seven days, he still failed to capture two cities.
Later, a hermit who claimed to be a person from Nanyang, Jia Xu, came to give Zhao Tuo advice to bypass the Han River, and then feigned an attack on Jiangyang, and ambushed the two roads in advance, waiting for the Han army in Jiangyang to come out. Immediately launch an attack on Jiangyang.
This trick lures the snake out of the hole, and hitting seven inches with a stick can be described as killing two birds with one stone! After Zhao Tuo thought about it carefully, he even adopted Jia Xu's strategy.
Sure enough, with the implementation of this strategy, in less than half a day, the Qin army successfully took Jiangyang and annihilated all the Han troops in Jiangyang.
After Zhao Tuo entered the city, he immediately issued a payment document to comfort the people. Immediately, he took the Qin army non-stop and continued to attack Ba County, which was forty miles away.
As soon as Jiangyang is lost, the guards of Ba County will naturally not be able to sit still! And the Han army defending the city also had no heart to fight again. In less than half a day, the Qin army took the city that was difficult to attack before.
Zhao Tuo was very happy, and even named Jia Xu as his military advisor. He immediately ordered his general, Gongsun Zhan, to be the vanguard, and ordered him to lead his three thousand white horses to attack Jiancheng, which was not far from Chengdu.
Because it was too close to Yizhou, its guards were negligent in taking precautions, and actually let Gongsun Zan beat him with a stick, and it was lost that night, and the guards died in the city.
Gongsun Zhan also hurriedly ordered someone to tell Zhao Tuo the news, and after Zhao Tuo found out, he was also very happy, and even ordered him to attack Chengdu.
However, what Zhao Tuo didn't expect was. At this time, Wei Yan had already led troops into Chengdu.
When Wei Yan heard that Jiancheng, Jiangyang, and Bajun would be lost in one day, he was also very surprised. Immediately, relying on the intelligence of the scouts, a general came up with a plan, and secretly ambushed people in Baimapo, intending to annihilate Gongsun Chan in one fell swoop.
But this Gongsun Zhan was not a fool, and when he reached Baimapo five miles away, he suddenly stopped marching. This situation gave Wei Yan a big headache.
Wei Yan immediately planned to take a detour and only build it, but his military advisor Chen Gong felt that this method was too risky. After all, the large force of the Qin army still did not know the specific location, and he was afraid that the main force of the Qin army would suddenly appear and take him by surprise.
Wei Yan was unwilling, but he had to give up, after all, Chen Gong's worries were not wrong. Before Wei Yan set off, he had a deep understanding of Zhao Tuo.
Zhao Tuo has led troops for nearly 30 years, and he has been able to keep South Vietnam safe for so many years, you must know that there are nearly ten foreign tribes around South Vietnam. Able to defend one side, but also keep South Vietnam in order. It can be seen that Zhao Tuo is by no means an idle person.
Immediately, Wei Yan had no choice but to raid the White Horse Yicong at night, but the vigilance of the White Horse Yicong was extraordinary, even if he was attacked, he only suffered no more than 100 casualties. After the raid on Baima Yicong, Wei Yan did not delay any longer, and immediately led his troops into Chengdu to defend it, actively prepared for defense, and waited for the arrival of the main force of the Qin army!
.............
Chengdu, which in later generations, is known as carrying a history of more than 3,000 years, is the birthplace of ancient Shu civilization and one of the top ten ancient capitals in China. It has many places of interest and cultural scenery such as Dujiangyan, Wuhou Temple, Du Fu Thatched Cottage, Jinsha Ruins, Ming Shu King Mausoleum, Wangjiang Tower, Qingyang Palace, etc., and is one of the few ancient cities.
At this moment, a big war is still unavoidable!
Yizhou in April, perhaps because of the geographical environment, is already extremely hot at this time, and the sun is like a roulette wheel, scorching the whole earth. At this time, the war in Chengdu is about to break out!
Wei Yan, who was standing on the tower of the city, looked at the mighty and countless Qin troops below, and secretly praised Zhao Tuo in his heart for leading the troops well and governing the army rigorously. And Chen Gong, who was standing next to Wei Yan, was dressed in purple at this time, with a crown on his head, looking at the black and oppressive Qin Jun below with a rigorous face, an imperceptible gaze flashed in his eyes from time to time, and he was secretly thinking about something in his heart.
At this time, I saw two people walking out of the Qin army, one with slightly white temples, but he was wearing armor and holding a sword. A suit of armor sets off his heroic posture, staring at the people on the city wall with fierce eyes, and the little wrinkles on the face of the national character, although his temples are slightly white, but he is still not angry and arrogant!
On the other hand, the other person was dressed in a long black robe, also crowned with a bundle of hair, and his long hair and clothes fluttered gently under the breeze. If it weren't for the fact that there was a little viciousness in those eyes, it would make people feel like a hermit master!
"Old General Zhao! Don't come unharmed! Wei Yan looked at the two people who walked out, and immediately clasped his fists with Chen Gong and saluted.
"Oh? Presumably you are Wei Yan, right? Zhao Tuo was so polite to Wei Yan and the others, and he also asked.
"Hmmm! In Xia Weiyan, the word is long, this is Chen Gong, the word Gongtai! I wonder who the gentleman next to the old general is? ”
When Jia Xu heard this, he immediately spoke: "Hahaha, the difficult General Wei asked, it is Jia Xu below, and the words are harmonious." ”
"Oh? Are you Jia Xu? Wei Yan asked with a frown
"Exactly down there." Facing Wei Yan, I saw Jia Xu reply without being arrogant or humble.
"Humph! As a citizen of the Han Dynasty, why do you want to give advice to the Qin army?! Wei Yan shouted.
"Hahahaha! The people of the Great Han? What are the people of the Great Han? Are the people of the Great Han being trampled on by aliens and left unattended? When Jia Xu heard this, he laughed and asked.
"Who said that the court did not care?! His Majesty sent the King of Qi and the King of Changshan to quell the rebellion, and later sent reinforcements to the north, why ignore it?! ”
"Hahaha, General Wei, if His Majesty had sent troops north seven months ago, he would not have helped Old General Zhao Tuo in the lower ranks! Dare to ask seven months ago, my big Han people, in dire straits, where is our majesty?! Dare to ask where you are waiting for the Han general!? Dare to ask where are you officials in the court?!
The alien races in the north are rampant, and they are all about to enter Hanoi! But what about you?! is still busy attacking Xiang Yu, busy grabbing territory, and busy beating his own people?! This is his Liu Bang's way of being a king? This is your majesty who you keep talking about? Is this what my big people deserve?! Jia Xu asked with a smile instead of anger.
When Wei Yan heard this, he immediately said angrily: "Shut up! The name of the Son of Heaven is what you can call a traitor?! Give me arrows! ”
At the sound of an order, the archers, who had long been hiding behind the female wall above the castle tower, stood up in an instant. Towards the city is a blast. Immediately, Zhao Tuo shouted, and the Qin army quickly lined up, protected the two, and retreated into the army.
After returning to the Chinese army, Zhao Tuo immediately commanded the siege of the city, and a big battle was inevitable!
