86 The state of Qin came to attack
Conquered Guo Jia.
Wei Wuji was in a good mood.
For several days in a row, he talked with Guo Jia about the past and the present.
Until Xu Chu returned with the Black Armor Army and stationed in the North Campus.
Wei Wuji took Guo Jia and went to inquire about the war.
In the account.
Xu Chu said: "My lord, the Qin State has gathered more than 20,000 soldiers and horses to prepare for war in Kaixian. It is expected that troops will enter the Wei State in the near future. The last general wanted to lead his army to demonstrate to Qin, but... General Cheng refused. β
"General Cheng did the right thing."
Wei Wuji rolled his eyelids.
He really didn't know what Xu Chu thought, just three thousand cavalry, and ran to the Qin State to demonstrate. Didn't the Qin Kingdom dare to march because it was afraid of the three thousand cavalry?
This would be naΓ―ve.
"Let me introduce to you, this is my new military advisor, surnamed Guo, named Jia, and the word Fengxiao. You can call it a military advisor, or sir. His commandments from this day forward are my commandments. Wei Wuji said.
Guo Jia took a step forward and arched his hand towards Xu Chu and said: "I have heard of General Xu's name for a long time, but when I saw it today, it was really powerful and heroic." β
"Hmm."
Xu Chu glanced at Guo Jia and didn't have any extra words.
Just nodded.
He retracted his gaze and said to Wei Wuji: "Lord, the Qin State must want to invade the northern border of the Wei State when it gathers troops in Kaixian, so we must take precautions as soon as possible." β
Wei Wuji said, "Didn't General Cheng tell you?" I recruited you back from the border to accumulate strength to defend against the Qin army. Why should you worry? β
"And..."
Wei Wuji made a calm face, got up and walked in front of Guo Jia, and said word by word: "I repeat, his name is Guo Jia, the word Fengxiao, is my new military advisor, he is extremely resourceful, he has no last resort, even I have to learn from him, how can you be rude?" β
"The last will be convicted."
Xu Chu faced Guo Jia and arched his hand: "The last general will meet the military advisor." β
"The general doesn't have to be polite."
As a newcomer, Guo Jia can understand Xu Chu.
He was a newcomer, and he was called a military advisor by Wei Wuji, although because of Wei Wuji's face, Xu Chu had to respect it on the surface, but he was definitely unconvinced in his heart.
Guo Jia snorted: "I hope the general will take care of it in the future." β
"Well said."
Xu Chu smiled and returned the salute.
Wei Wuji said: "The Qin army assembled in Kaixian County, and it must be trying to attack me. If the north wants to defend itself, it needs a strong army. I recruited you back because I wanted the Black Armor Army, the Trap Camp, and the Wudang Flying Army to integrate training. Increase your combat effectiveness. Also, it is necessary to form a certain tacit understanding, and do not fight each other, like a plate of loose sand. β
"The Admiral understands." Xu Chu said.
"Go ahead."
"No."
Xu Chu turned around and left the tent.
Wei Wuji motioned for Guo Jia to take a seat and said, "Fengxiao, the Qin army will soon reach the northern border, what strategy do you have to teach me?" β
"I don't dare to preach. There is just one word, I hope the lord will consider it. β
"Say."
Guo Jia said: "The Qin army is good at field warfare, not good at attacking fortifications. The main army is insufficient, only need to find dangerous passes, deep ditches and high bases to resist, the Qin army is difficult to break through, after a long time, there is not enough food and grass, and they can only retreat... β
"Hmm."
Wei Wuji nodded.
Guo Jia's suggestion, although it seems a bit stupid, is actually the best defense strategy in the north of Wei. When the troops were insufficient, they used deep ditches and high bases to fight against the Qin army's iron cavalry.
It can not only reduce casualties, but also save the people in the territory from being slaughtered.
It's just that...
Wei Wuji thought about it, but shook his head: "Feng Xiao doesn't know anything, my soldiers are also good at field warfare. You should have heard that when I first arrived in the Wei Kingdom, I repelled the white halberd iron cavalry outside the Great Liang City. It was an elite team in the field, and for many years, it had never been defeated... β
"If the ditch is deep and strong, the enemy is rejected, but there are no soldiers stationed there. Because I have just arrived in the north, I have not yet formed a certain size of army. β
"It's a pity to go to attack and defend with the trapped, black-armored army, and Wudang flying army, who are good at field warfare. In fact, with one's own shortcomings and the length of attacking the enemy, it is difficult to have a chance of winning. β
........
After listening to Wei Wuji's explanation.
Guo Jia discovered.
Wei Wuji is very assertive, and his views on military affairs are also very unique.
It is by no means the kind of master who only obeys the strategies of the military advisor and acts.
This requires him to use his brain well and provide Wei Wuji with real strategies, otherwise, his effectiveness will be meaningless.
Guo Jia got up and walked to a map.
After taking a closer look, he turned around and said, "It is not difficult for the lord to resist the Qin army. As long as they are in Fucheng and Dongcheng, leave heavy troops, and when the Qin army passes through Dongcheng, send troops to intercept them, and the troops of Fucheng will not dare to move forward. β
"Really?"
Wei Wuji didn't find out.
There is also such an important strategic city.
He hurried to the front of the map and took a closer look.
Really...
Guo Jia deserves to be a top strategist.
Just a quick glance at it will reveal the key points of the terrain.
"My lord...."
Guo Jia pointed to the map: "Please look here." There is a river called the Meridian River. Across the northern border, the coverage is extremely wide. If there is a naval army that can control the upper reaches of the Meridian River, it can stop the Qin army and reach the northern hinterland. β
"Fengxiao, what you said is equivalent to not saying it. I don't have a troll. Wei Wuji smiled bitterly, and then said, "However, you did remind me. β
"The state of Wei is adjacent to the Great River, and it is a good place to train naval troops. But all along, our navy has been bullied by the Qin State, which is really unbearable. β
"If I have the opportunity, I must form a naval army to fight against the Qin army in the Meridian River and the Great River."
Guo Jia said: "The lord has good ambitions. β
........
Discussing military affairs with Guo Jia, Wei Wuji benefited a lot.
There are some things that he really doesn't see as thoroughly as Guo Jia.
With just one word, his dedication to Guo Jia is worth it.
A few days later.
Cheng Yanjin sent an urgent report.
Qin worshiped Sima Ran as a general, Bai Qi as a vanguard, starting with 20,000 elite horses, coming out of Kaixian, all the way to the east, into the north of Wei.
Cheng bit Jin and was defeated and returned to Jincheng.
"My lord, the front line is urgent..." In the city guarding the mansion, Cheng bit the gold arch hand.
"Didn't I say, let the enemy in. When they reach the Golden City, they will fight with them. Wei Wuji said.
"Yes."
Cheng Yanjin has always been worried.
What if the armies of Xu Chu, Gao Shun, and Wang Ping can't defeat the Qin army?
Guo Jia was also very puzzled: "Lord, shouldn't you be stationed in Fucheng and Dongcheng?" How do you want to let the enemy into the country? It's too dangerous. β
Wei Wuji chuckled and said, "Fengxiao, I have already seen your strategy. I do not deny that defending Fucheng and Dongcheng will put the Qin army in a dilemma. However, I let the enemy in for a political purpose. I want to give confidence to the refugees in front of the refugees outside the city, hundreds of Qin troops, and urge them to join the army and attack the Qin army with me. In this way, I have an elite that is not afraid of death and shares the same hatred. You get the idea. β
"I see."
Guo Jia understood.
A few days ago, Wei Wuji asked him for advice.
It's not that I want to defend against the enemy.
It's about testing him to see if he has real talent and learning.
"It's just..." Guo Jia said worriedly with Cheng Yanjin's expression: "The Qin army has penetrated deep into the north, and it may not be as expected by the lord to go to Jincheng to fight the lord. In case he went somewhere else. Or we may break the whole into pieces and divide our forces to attack, and our troops are insufficient, it is difficult to contain them, and we may cause an unfavorable situation. β
"Yes, my lord, this has to be guarded against." Cheng Biting Jin arched his hand.
Immediately, he reacted and asked, "Lord, who is this gentleman?" β
"Military advisor Guo Jia, the word is filial piety."
"Oh..."
Cheng Biting Jin saluted: "The last general will meet the military advisor." β
"The general doesn't have to be polite."
Guo Jia continued: "In the next suggestion, throw out a bait and put it in the refugee camp, so that the enemy army has to come. β
"Bait?" Wei Wuji asked, "What kind of bait?" β
"The western border of Qin is a bitter cold land, and there has always been a shortage of grain and grass. We can put all the grain and grass in the refugee camp and send General Wang Ping's Wudang Fei Army to guard it. Can lure the Qin army to attack. β
Originally, Wei Wuji felt that his strategy was seamless.
After the enemy army enters the country, they will definitely come to Jincheng.
But...
Guo Jia's idea made him a little uneasy.
Gao Shun's trapped camp and Xu Chu's black armor army are both good at killing enemies in the wild. Once the enemy divided his forces, attacked other cities in the north, and slaughtered the people everywhere, he would not even have a chance to fight back. Because there are not so many troops, they are sent out to meet the battle.
Once he divides his forces, the battle will become complicated.
There is no guarantee that every battlefield will win more with less.
Most importantly, the original intention of introducing the Qin army was lost.
Wei Wuji said: "Wudang Feijun is one of my three main forces, if you send it to guard the grain, who will meet the Qin army?" With only the trapping camp and the black armor army, it may be difficult to win. β
Guo Jia said: "The lord doesn't have to worry, the army stationed in the refugee camp is just to lure the Qin army. Once the Qin army arrives in Jincheng, they can join up with the Black Armor Army and the Trap Camp to attack and kill the enemy army. β
"In addition, under the suggestion...."
"Send a strange army to go around behind enemy lines and occupy the Guanyang Pass fifteen miles away. The terrain there is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. It can cut off the enemy's retreat. β
.......
Wei Wuji glanced at the map and responded, "Okay, I agree with your strategy." β
"General Cheng."
"Yes." Cheng Yanjin took a step forward.
Wei Wuji ordered: "You lead the headquarters and the cavalry of Mu Kezhai to the Guanyang Pass. Wait for the enemy to pass, that is, block the road. Do not allow the enemy to escape. β
"No."
Cheng Biting Jin left.
Wei Wuji adopted Guo Jia's strategy and put all the grain and grass in Jincheng in the refugee camp, and transferred Wudang Fei to guard it. Xiang Yu led Gao Shun and Xu Chu to forty miles away.
Set up camp at the official road crossing.
So.
It was to better lure the Qin army, so that they mistakenly thought that Xiang Yu's army and Wang Ping's army were completely separated, which would help them seize the grain and grass in the refugee camp.
this day.
Sima Ran, the general of the Qin State, led the army to the Guanyang Pass.
The road here is narrow, with high mountains on both sides, and only one road in the middle.
Cautious, he immediately sent a small force to search the mountains.
The army is on standby.
Half an hour later.
Report from the Soshan troops.
On the hills on either side, no enemy troops were found, and no footprints appeared.
It can be seen that no one has ever been here.
Sima Ran said: "Pass quickly, and then rest on the other side of the mountain." β
"The general has an order, pass quickly!"
Bai Qi led three thousand cavalry and passed first. After that, Sima Ran's 20,000 infantry troops.
Everything went smoothly.
During the passage, there were no ambushes.
But...
When Sima Ran led the army away.
Coming out from behind the hill, a detachment was driven.
This force is the 1,500 cavalry led by Cheng Yanjin.
Five hundred of them were soldiers of Mukezhai.
Xiangyun wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "Fortunately, the general didn't go to the mountain early, otherwise he would have been discovered by the enemy." β
Cheng Yanjin smiled: "This is all years of experience in war. But wherever it is dangerous, the army must first be reconnoitred. Sima Ran was a general of the Qin State, how could he not know this? Of course, it's up to me, and if it weren't for my wise decision, you'd be a captive by now. β
"Okay, okay, you're amazing."
Xiangyun didn't want to talk to this tease.
With the soldiers of Mu Kezhai, go up the mountain first.
Cheng Yanjin followed.
........
Sima Ran's army is getting closer and closer to Jincheng.
The speed of travel slows down.
A soldier came to report: "General, our scouts have found that the enemy is camped five miles ahead and occupies the official road. Our army can't get by. β
"Stop!"
Sima Ran ordered the army to stop.
He took out the map to check it, and said suspiciously: "This is not far from Jincheng, and the enemy army wants to camp outside the city, at the intersection, in order not to be in Jincheng." β
"That's not normal, is it?" This is said to Bai Qi.
"It's not normal."
"At such a close distance, it's not enough to directly line up to meet the battle, why camp at all?" Bai Qi was also suspicious: "Is it trying to lure us to rob the camp?" There was an ambush in the camp? β
"Quite possibly."
Sima Ran put away the map and said, "Order all battalions not to act rashly, let alone enter the enemy camp. β
"All the infantry, set up here. The cavalry went to test the truth and the false.... β
"The general will come later, and the last general will go and have a look." Bai Qi said.
"Hmm."
Bai Qi led three thousand cavalry and ran forward for five miles.
Came to the outside of Xiang Yu's camp.
Bai Qi stepped forward and called out: "Listen, the people in the village, I am Bai Qi, the general of the Qin State, and I was ordered to conquer the Wei State." The thieves such as Hang'er are not my opponents, so come out quickly and surrender. β
Upstairs in the wall.
Xiang Yu looked at Gao Shun on the side and asked, "Last time, outside the city of Daliang, the general of the Qin army who commanded the halberd iron cavalry, was it Bai Qi?" β
"Yes. According to the news, Bai Qi was the general of the Qin State, who used his soldiers like a god and won the world bravely. Since the army, except for a period of defeat outside Daliang City, the rest have never been defeated. β
"Humph!"
Xiang Yu snorted coldly: "In front of me, can you still say that you are brave in the world?" I'd like to see it. β
"General Gao, you defend the city well, I will go to the meeting in vain." Xiang Yu said.
"Yes."
Gao Shun did not stop Xiang Yu.
Because he knew that Xiang Yu was outstanding in martial arts, and except for Li Yuanba, no one was an opponent. No matter how strong Bai Qi is, it is impossible to fight. If you can kill Bai Qi, this battle will be much easier.
Da Da...
Xiang Yu rode a black horse, holding a dragon halberd, and rushed out of the camp.
Two feet away from Bai Qi, he said, "You are Bai Qi?" β
"If you know my fate, how dare you fight?"
Bai Qi didn't know Xiang Yu's bravery. Last time outside Daliang City, he only saw Gao Shun, Wang Ping, Cheng Biting Jin, and Li Yuanba's martial arts.
From beginning to end, Xiang Yu was in the rear and did not participate in the battle.
