Chapter 614: Han Xin arrives in Taiyuan
"Okay."
Han Xin nodded, pointed to the map, and said, "The Great Moon Clan Empire is composed of five major tribes. They are the Humi tribe, the Shuangmi tribe, the Kushan tribe, the Ditun tribe, and the Dumi tribe. It is the Kushan tribe that is now in charge of the Great Moon Clan's empire. Therefore, it is also called the Great Moon Guishan Empire. His land is on the south side of Si Liang. After ten years of expansion, there are more than 400,000 troops. Among them, the number of iron horsemen is 200,000. ”
"The Dayue clan army in Xiliang is mostly composed of the Kushan tribe and the Shuangmi tribe, and the other three tribes are less than half of them. The total number of troops is 260,000. ”
"I fought with them for a month, but I didn't have the upper hand because of the small number of troops, the unfavorable terrain, etc."
Wait for Han Xin to finish.
Liu Bowen said: "General Han." As far as I know, there are 100,000 troops in the southern border of Xiliang, right? ”
"Yes."
Liu Bowen said with a smile: "Your 1st army, but the elite of the elite, can't subdue the Great Moon Empire?" ”
Han Xin said: "Didn't I say it just now. The terrain of the southern border of Xiliang was not suitable for the new army to fight. The rest of the 100,000 troops, and there were no war horses, and they lacked training, so. ”
"General Han." Xiang Yu quickly finished eating, threw the bowl aside, and said, "How does the iron cavalry of the Guishan Empire of the Great Moon Clan compare with Xianbei and Xiongnu?" ”
"It's hard to tell the difference."
"Are the rest of the soldiers also elite?"
"Yes."
Xiang Yu nodded and said, "It seems that this battle is not easy to fight." ”
"General Xiang, I have a map here. The painting is the border of Xiliang and the Otsuki clan. When I fought with them, I made a mark every time I went to them. As well as their marching routes, formations, etc. Once you've seen this diagram, you'll know it. ”
Handing the map to Xiang Yu, Han Xin hugged his fists and said: "The war in Hebei is urgent, and it is really inconvenient for me to stay for a long time." Farewell. ”
"Thank you, General Han."
Xiang Yu accepted the map.
"No thanks. I wish the general success. Han Xin returned the salute and hurried away.
"Ladies and gentlemen."
Sending Han Xin out of the council hall, Xiang Yu came back and said, "I'm so anxious now, I can't wait to fly to the south of Xiliang immediately and defeat the Great Moon Clan." So early tomorrow morning, my army will be marching out. ”
"No."
The crowd replied.
Han Shin's 1st Army left Gaoling Fortress and headed for Luohe. Gan Ning personally led a part of the warships and waited there. After Han Xin arrived, he sent Han Xin across the river. To the north of the Luohe River is Banpujin, along the Banpujin north to Hedong 4 counties, you can reach Taiyuan.
Han Xin didn't dare to delay and moved forward as fast as he could.
Meanwhile.
Xiang Yu also led an army of 300,000 troops to the south, preparing to meet the Dayue Clan.
At this time.
In Luoyang.
Lu Bu received a battle report from Xilianglai.
"Yuan Zhi."
"Yes."
Lu Bu handed the battle report to Xu Shu and said with a smile: "Take a look." Xiang Yu only led 6,000 horsemen to pursue 60,000 alien iron cavalry. In the end, the enemy was completely annihilated. Doesn't that seem incredible? ”
"Six thousand to sixty thousand?"
Xu Shu still didn't believe it.
After reading the battle report, he broke out in a cold sweat: "Lord, this general is too bold, right?" If Xianbei and the Xiongnu did not fight. How is he going to win? ”
"Haha."
Lu Bu laughed a few times and said, "Xiang Yu is a little bold. But sometimes the bold use of soldiers can also have miraculous effects. ”
"The lord still praises him." Xu Shu put away the battle report: "With him commanding hundreds of thousands of troops in Xiliang, I'm really a little worried." In case of improper command and defeat in the hands of the Otsuki clan, that is half of our troops. ”
"Yuan Zhi, you can rest assured. I can guarantee that within two months, Xiang Yu will send good news. Lu Bu was full of confidence.
"I hope it will be as my lord said." Xu Shu was still worried.
"Lord, Lord Luban is here." The guard outside the door.
"Let him in."
"No."
The guards retreated.
Soon.
Lu Ban took a stack of drawings, walked up to Lu Bu, and said, "My lord, the streets, houses, and palaces all over Luoyang are already under construction. The outer city and inner city of Luoyang are also being repaired. The minister has budgeted, and it will probably be completed in September next year. You can move in in mid-October. This is the drawing after Luoyang was built, please take a look at it. ”
"Good." Lu Bu took it in his hand and looked at it, and said: "Luoyang is our capital, and it will be passed down from generation to generation and prosper forever." Therefore, when building, do not save materials. Everything with the best. Strive for perfection. ”
"Wake up."
"There you go."
"No."
Lu Ban left with his hands.
Xu Shu said: "The minister went to the construction site yesterday and saw that some of the palaces have been built. The gardens and palaces of the harem are also roughly formed. The lord may wish to send an order to Shouchun's officials and family members to prepare to move to Luoyang. ”
"It's a bit early to move the capital now, right?"
"Not early, not early."
Xu Shu said with a smile: "There are many officials and family members in Shouchun. From Shouchun to Luoyang, there are nearly 3,000 miles. No matter how fast they move, it will take three or four months before they can resist Luoyang. By then, the palace and the house had already been built. ”
"That's true." Lu Bu thought for a while and said, "Then the officials of Ling Shouchun are preparing to move the capital." ”
"Obey."
Xu Shu left.
Time flies
In the blink of an eye.
A month later.
Han Shin's 1st Army, after more than 1,000 miles, finally arrived in Bingzhou.
Taiyuan County.
Jinyang.
The 50,000 troops under Li Jing have defeated the 50,000 Xianbei infantry outside Yanmen Pass.
After Han Xin arrived, he joined forces with Li Jing.
Jinyang Thorn Mansion.
Li Jing pulled Han Xin to drink: "General Han, I salute you." ”
"Please."
Han Xin took a sip and said, "General Li is gratifying to defeat the Xianbei army outside Yanmen Pass. ”
"It's all good luck everywhere."
"The general is too modest."
Li Jing smiled bitterly: "I'm not modest. Before you came to Merge Prefecture, my 50,000 troops and the 50,000 Xianbei troops outside Yanmen Pass were in a stalemate for two months. If I hadn't designed to deceive Xianbei, it would have been difficult to win. ”
"I don't know how the war in Jizhou and Youzhou is going? Did General Lee receive information? Han Xin asked.
"Every few days, intelligence arrives." Li Jing pointed to the map beside him and said, "Jixian County, the seat of Youzhou governance, is still in Bai Qi's hands." He had 100,000 elites, and he confronted the 70,000 Goguryeo army in Daijun, and there was no winner or loser. ”
"Yecheng, the seat of Jizhou, is guarded by Qin Qiong. He had sixty or seventy thousand troops in his hands. Hold on for two months. I guess it's almost impossible to hold on. General Han wants to rush to the aid of Hebei, I suggest that you go to Yecheng first and defeat the 200,000 iron cavalry of Badun. ”
"Hmm."
Han Xin got up and walked to the map, looked at it for a while, and said, "The general just said that Bai Qi and the Goguryeo army of Daijun have been facing each other for two months, and there is no victory?" ”
"Yes."
Han Xin said: "In this way, the generals of Goguryeo must be extremely cautious in their use of troops. Maybe he's already retreating. The reason why he was stationed in Daijun was to delay for some time to see if Badun could occupy Yecheng. ”
