Chapter 782: Caught off guard (1st Update)
July 17, 254 BC.
On this day, the main battlefield outside Suiyang City was still in a very calm state, and the camp of the Four Nations Alliance Army was like a big arc, encircling Suiyang City in three directions, east, west and south.
And in the north of Suiyang City and in the city, countless red military flags of Zhao State were waving in the wind, and they were not inferior in terms of momentum.
The two sides have been facing each other in this plain for more than two months, and judging from the current situation, it seems that this confrontation will continue, and it is not known when it will end.
As the strongest and recognized main force of the Four Nations Alliance, the Qin army's battalion was naturally located in the center of the Four Nations camp, and the other three countries were separated from the Qin army.
Everyone has no opinion on this point, after all, the conquest and melee over the past few hundred years have long taught the Huaxia people a truth, that is, the strong will always be respected in this world.
In that case, what is the point of the powerful Qin army enjoying some small preferential treatment?
On this day, the commanders of the Qin army, Wang Ji and Wang Ling, sat in the tent and discussed the military situation with the other two young Qin generals.
One of these two young generals was named Wang Jian and the other was named Wei Yu, and their positions were only under Wang Yu's tomb, and they belonged to the third and fourth people in the main force of the Qin army.
As the saying goes, gold always shines. Since he made great contributions to quelling the rebellion in the rebellion of Huayang Jun Michen, Wang Qian's official position began to rise at a rocket-like speed, and finally entered the upper echelons of the Qin army as he wished.
On the other side, Wei Mi, his path to fortune is different from Wang Qian.
Although Wang Jian was once very close to LΓΌ Buwei, he was a member of the Wang clan after all, and the Wang clan now has two generals in the military, Wang Ji and Wang Ling, and they are not afraid of LΓΌ Buwei at all, so Wang Jian is not LΓΌ Buwei's person.
And Wei Wei is different, everyone knows that Wei Yu often goes in and out of the mansion of Lu Buwei, the prime minister of the Qin State, Wu Chengjun, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Lu Buwei is the spokesperson of Lu Buwei in the army.
Perhaps because of this, the young Wei Yu was obviously not very liked by the other three Wang generals, and Wei Yu was also an interesting person, who had always been silent in various military meetings and rarely expressed any opinions.
The main general, Wang Di, glanced at Wang Ling, and then said in an inquiring tone: "Today, the Three Kingdoms Alliance Army has sent people to urge, hoping that we can send troops as soon as possible and fight a decisive battle with the Zhao army as soon as possible." In this way, after defeating the Zhao army, it may be possible to capture Handan City before winter. What do you think? β
The deputy general Wang Ling's face had a very obvious scar, which was a memorial left during the last battle with Li Mu, this scar made the general, who originally looked quite calm, feel a little more hideous out of thin air, and even the words that came out seemed to have a trace of anger in them.
"Hmph, Han Chuwei and the people of the Three Kingdoms are simply blindly optimistic, you must know that we are facing the main force of the entire 350,000 Zhao army, how can it be so easy to win? I want to be in Changping back then......"
It seemed that it was because of some taboos, so Wang Ling immediately closed his mouth after waking up.
But the people present were not stupid, and they all understood what Wang Lingchen meant.
In the Battle of Changping six years ago, the Qin army, which had a total of 600,000 troops, was defeated by the 400,000 Zhao army, which also poured out, in the Battle of Changping, which is still a great shame in the minds of every Qin people.
At that time, the Qin army swept the world and ruled the world's strongest army with all kinds of dissatisfaction, with the world's strongest army, and there was Wu Anjun Baiqi, who was recognized as the world's first general at that time, and he did not take the Zhao army at that time.
And today's Four-Nation Alliance is much worse than the Qin army back then, both in terms of numbers and combat effectiveness, it is simply a gap between heaven and earth (at least Wang Ling himself thinks so), in this case, Wang Ling does not think that the Four-Nation Alliance can defeat the Zhao army very easily.
So Wang Ling immediately spoke: "What I mean, we still have to wait until the people of Qi go south smoothly, and then launch an attack on the Zhao army on the side of Suiyang, when the five countries alliance forces echo back and forth, it is not difficult to defeat the people of Zhao." β
"As for Handan City, as long as the Zhao army can be defeated, then Handan City will be in the bag sooner or later, so what does it matter if it is occupied a few months earlier or a few months later? Anyway, even if Handan City is occupied, it will not be possible to become the territory of Great Qin in the end, and Great Qin's targets should still be placed in Hedong County and Jinyang County. β
Wang Jian nodded thoughtfully, then glanced at Wang Jian again and said, "Wang Qian, what is your opinion?" β
Wang Jian thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "General, the last general thinks that General Wang Ling's words are very reasonable. β
Wang Jian didn't say much, because Wang Jian knew very well that Wang Ji's solicitation of opinions was actually just for show, as a descendant of the Wang family, Wang Jian understood very well the truth of giving face to his elders.
Wang Yi turned his head again to look at Wei Yu, who had been silent like a sculpture, and then made a direct decision: "Since this is the case, then it is better not to fight first." The next time those guys come to urge, I'll tell them that it's not the right time, and let them hold on a little longer. β
As he spoke, a smile appeared on the corner of Wang Di's mouth, and he said, "Anyway, in the current situation, we are stationed here, and we don't need to consume any grain and grass from Daqin, so why not do it?" β
For a moment, the handsome tent was filled with relaxed laughter.
Of course, there is a reason why several Qin generals are so relaxed.
Not long ago, the Qin army had just received information that the Qi army's attack on Dong'e City was progressing quite smoothly, and Kuang Liang, the commander of the Qi army, vowed in a letter to Wang Yi that it would take only half a month at most to take Dong'e.
At that time, the Qi army can go south and directly cut off the back road of the Zhao people, and join forces with the other four-nation coalition forces to surround Suiyang City, so that the main force of the Zhao State will have no way to go to the sky and no door to enter the ground.
Wang Yi thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "These days, you remember to let the scouts keep an eye on it, and don't let the main force of Zhao State secretly retreat." β
Wang Yu felt that Lian Po, the general of Zhao on the other side, was definitely not stupid, as a famous general, Lian Po would definitely be aware of the plans of the Five Nations Alliance, if Lian Po did not know how to make appropriate trade-offs after perceiving the plot of the Five Nations Alliance, then Lian Po would not be worthy of being called a general.
What's more, in Suiyang City, there is also the world-famous king of Zhao State, Wang Yi is very sure in his heart, Lian Po will definitely not let that King of Zhao Kingdom fall into danger.
At this moment, a rush of footsteps suddenly followed by a breathless voice came into the tent: "General, Xianyang urgent!" β
After a pause, the captain of Wang Di's personal guard outside the account specially accentuated his tone and said, "It's the highest level of emergency report!" β
"The highest level?" The faces of the four Qin generals in the big tent suddenly changed when they heard this.
You must know that such a highest-level emergency report is actually rarely sent. Usually, such an urgent report will only be sent when it is related to the fortunes of the country or something like that.
Now that Suiyang City is obviously calm, there is an emergency report of the highest level, what does this mean?
Wang Yi stood up almost immediately and shouted, "Don't hurry up and bring in the urgent report!" β
So a moment later, the urgent letter reached Wang Di's hands.
Wang Yi couldn't wait to open the envelope and fire paint, took out the silk paper inside, and read it carefully.
As soon as he finished reading the above content, Wang Di's face changed greatly, and he slammed his fist on the table in front of him, and said in a lost voice: "This is impossible!! β
As soon as the generals present saw Wang Di's appearance, they immediately knew that something was wrong, and Wang Ling, who had the best relationship with Wang Di, immediately spoke: "General, what happened?" β
Wang Ji took a deep breath, clenched the bone joints with a fist in his right hand and made a faint white sound, and only after a long time did he slowly say: "Li Mu has broken through Xianyang City, and the king and most of the ministers have fallen into the hands of Li Mu. β
"What?" As soon as Wang Di's words came out, all the Qin people present suddenly changed their faces, and they couldn't believe what they had heard.
Wang Jian couldn't help but speak: "Before the battle, Guanzhong had already made a lot of preparations, and Xianyang City had a full 40,000 army sitting here, even if the Zhao people used several times the strength to attack it, it would take at least half a year to conquer it, and Li Mu's command was no more than 20,000 or 30,000 cavalry, how could he take Xianyang City?" β
What Wang Jian asked was actually the answer that all the Qin generals present wanted to know.
Wang Yi frowned, and said impatiently, "How do I know? β
The tent suddenly fell silent, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing.
After a moment of silence, Wang Yu let out a sigh of relief and suddenly said, "It seems that we must fight a decisive battle with the people of Zhao immediately." β
The other three Qin army generals in the big tent were all stunned when they heard this, but they would soon come to their senses.
Although theoretically speaking, the main force of the Qin army is stationed on the side of Suiyang City, and the supply of grain and grass has nothing to do with the Qin State Guanzhong, even if Guanzhong and even the Qin State itself are all captured, the main force of the Qin army can continue to spend it here with the Zhao people.
But don't forget, the army has the morale to be able to fight.
There is no impermeable wall in this world, no matter how much it is blocked, sooner or later the news of the fall of Xianyang will still reach the ears of all the Qin soldiers.
Once these Qin soldiers knew that Xianyang City had been breached, then they would definitely subconsciously think that the entire Guanzhong had fallen under the control of the Zhao people.
At that time, these soldiers of the Qin army were full of concern for their relatives in Guanzhong, and they couldn't wait to return to Guanzhong immediately with wings to investigate the life and death of their relatives, where was there any morale to fight against the people of Zhao?
As soon as they figured this out, the three Qin army generals nodded solemnly and agreed with Wang Di's opinion.
Now, the Qin army has been forced to go to Liangshan, and it must be asked to fight!
Seeing that everyone had agreed with his opinion, Wang Ji no longer hesitated, and said decisively: "Since we all know about this situation, then presumably the commanders of the other Three Kingdoms Alliance should also know." You will go down first to block the news, and I will immediately go and find the main generals of the other three kingdoms and prepare for a decisive battle with the people of Zhao! β
