Chapter 611 Northern Barrier

The Qin army rested for two days.

The spirit is restored, all of them are vigorous and strong, and the dragon is fierce.

Zhao Chen, Zhao Rui was awarded the official title, and Ji Xuanling sent troops to escort them to Luoyi.

Lu Linxuan spent his energy to keep the order of Luo'an City stable and excessive.

The panic dissipated, and the city gradually became peaceful.

Without worries, Ji Xuanling began to consider eradicating the Mu brothers in Jianzhou.

Ruan Xinghe, Lin Jianlu, Guo Jikang, Gongsun Ang, Zhao Polu and other generals led the army to fight in Jianzhou for more than a month, because of the poor geography everywhere, and the results he achieved disappointed him completely.

Ji Xuanling was far-sighted and far-sighted, and did not want the Qin army to be trapped in three states.

Unwarranted consumption of military supplies, increasing casualties in battles, and wasting time in vain.

Replacing Zhao Kang, the road to Jianzhou in the south was unimpeded.

All the way south, like entering a no-man's land.

This time, he didn't want to miss this great opportunity.

Moreover, the Zhao Kang royal family descended to Qin, and there are still many hidden dangers in various places.

Many old and young people are still loyal to Zhao Kang.

In order to change the attitude of the old and the young towards the Qin State, it is necessary to find a breakthrough.

Because Zhao Huanxi entered the Qin Palace as a concubine, for a long time, he has always publicized Zhao Kang to the outside world, and the Qin State is like a family.

Therefore, eradicating the Mu brothers who killed Zhao Kang's royal family and bloodbathed the capital will inevitably make many of Zhao Kang's widows, old and young, and old ministers happy and convinced, to serve him.

The generals gathered in the study and exchanged pleasantries for a while, Ji Xuanling got up from the dragon chair and said straight to the point: "General Lin, General Ruan and others, they have been delayed in Jianzhou for too long. The Zhao clan descended to Qin, and the Qin army not only had an absolute advantage over the Mu brothers in terms of strength, but also had an excellent advantage in geography.

This king plans to send General Shentu to lead a cavalry, starting from Luo'an City, all the way to the south, unknowingly, unknowingly, into the heart of the Mu brothers, and hit them unguarded, what do you think Aiqing? ”

Ji Xuanling's questioning of politics is almost a superfluous move.

The Qin State replaced Zhao Kang, containing the coalition forces in the north and the Mu brothers in the south, and the situation was unprecedentedly good.

Even a fool would not refuse to go south to conquer the Mu brothers, not to mention that all the ministers of the court are human spirits.

Therefore, whether it was Shen Tuxiu, who was ordered to go south, or the strategist Jia Wendao, Xu Wenda, the generals Lu Linxuan, and Wu Jiling not only supported, but also suggested expanding the number of combat troops.

Lu Linxuan and Wu Jiling specially invited Ying, hoping to make contributions to the southern expedition.

It's night.

The night is confused, and it is quiet.

Shen Tuxiu led 30,000 iron horsemen and set off from the south gate of Luo'an City.

Along the way, Shen Tuxiu sent messengers south in advance to deliver messages to Ruan Xinghe, Lin Jianlu, Guo Jikang, Gongsun Ang, and Zhao Poyu.

Hope unites, things are sandwiched.

Jianzhou west, Rongzhou east.

In the narrow and rugged area, a large number of Qin troops and Mu family troops gathered here.

Because of the topographical factors, especially the long long mountain moat that separates the two armies, the two armies are in a state of protracted confrontation.

The Qin army was like a rainbow and had the advantage of troops, and the Mu army was defending and occupying the terrain advantage.

A large number of Mu troops held Changbi Mountain, almost blocking the way for the Qin army to advance westward.

In a few days, there were many skirmishes between the two armies, and the Qin army tried to break through the defense line of Changbi Mountain, but unfortunately the defense line of Changbi Mountain was as solid as a rock, and every time there were fewer victories and more defeats, Lin Jianlu and other generals did not dare to take risks because of casualties.

As a last resort, he pinned his hopes on Guo Jikang and Gongsun Ang in the south.

The situation of the confrontation changed dramatically on the third day of Shen Tuxiu's departure.

30,000 iron horsemen came out of the cage like a fierce tiger, like a pack of predatory wolves, roaring and killing into Rongzhou.

To this end, Shin Tu Xiu showed strong self-confidence.

In order to expand the results of the battle, in order to deter the Mu army, and to achieve a quick victory, 30,000 iron cavalry divided into three routes and launched a fierce attack on the Mu family army stationed in various cities in the north of Rongzhou.

Before leaving.

Ji Xuanling told Shen Tuxiu to fight against the Mu family army without leaving a living mouth, and to kill those who are related to the Mu family's army, and the reward will be doubled.

The three-way Qin army attacked, without the slightest scruples.

If you encounter an enemy, you will be killed, and if you encounter a camp, you will be destroyed.

Take an unusually brutal, bloody way of fighting.

It is often crossed by iron horsemen, the city is broken, the corpses are piled up, and the mountains and rivers are stained with blood.

Except for the ordinary people in the city, the Mu family army was almost completely slaughtered.

Those who escaped by chance either hid in the deep mountains and old forests, or took off their military uniforms and hid in remote villages, like frightened birds, afraid to come out to meet the enemy again.

In two days, the wolf smoke in the north of Rongzhou was everywhere, the Mu family army was defeated like a mountain, and several cities fell.

At the same time, an iron cavalry that broke into Jianzhou rushed towards Changbi Mountain.

If you want to fight with Lin Jianlu, Ruan Xinghe will attack from east to west and pull out the Mu family army in Changbi Mountain.

In Jianzhou, Ruan Xinghe, Lin Jianlu, Guo Jikang, and Gongsun Ang successively received letters from Shen Tuxiu.

In the northern part of Jianzhou, Lin Jianlu and Ruan Xinghe were waiting for the opportunity, but the whole army still maintained a combat state, choosing to stand still and confront the Mu family army in Changbi Mountain.

In the south of Jianzhou, Guo Jikang and Gongsun Ang, they led the army to fight, but they encountered very little obstruction, and most of the gains in Jianzhou came from two people.

Previously, Guo Jikang corresponded with Lin Jianlu and Ruan Xinghe, trying to take advantage of the great victory in southern Xinjiang to attract the Mu family army in Changbi Mountain, so as to change the pattern and open up the road for Lin Jianlu and Ruan Xinghe to advance westward.

After receiving Shen Tuxiu's letter, Guo Jikang and Gongsun Ang temporarily discussed and decided to change the route of the march.

From the north, it was changed to the west.

The plan was to first surround the Mu family army camp where Mu Heng was located from the south, and when the time was ripe, he would destroy Mu Yi with Shen Tuxiu, Lin Jianlu, Ruan Xinghe and other generals, and then occupy Jianzhou and Rongzhou.

The camp of the Mu family's army.

The atmosphere was tight, and patrols were becoming more frequent.

Mu Heng relied on the Changbi Mountain moat to block a large number of warlike Qin troops in Jianzhou and protect Rongzhou from the Qin army.

It also gave the reinforcements from Sichuan to buy enough time.

At this time, Mu Heng was intoxicated with the joy of successfully blocking the enemy.

When the reinforcements from Sichuan arrived, the Mu army relied on its numerical advantage to kill the invading Qin army in an orderly manner to ensure that Jianzhou, Rongzhou, and Sichuan would not be lost.

It's a pity that the bad news from the north easily broke Mu Heng's dream.

"Zhao Kang descends to Qin!"

The simple four words were like a sharp dagger piercing into Mu Heng's heart.

As a prince who has been in the three places of Jianzhou for a long time, he knows very well that Zhao Kang's broken half of the country is still a barrier to protect the three places of Jianzhou.

Now the three places changed hands and were classified as the Qin State.

The barrier in the north disappeared, and a large number of cities and important military fortresses in the north of the three states were all exposed under the noses of the Qin army.

In order to resist the Qin army coming from the east, the Mu family army has gathered a large number of soldiers in Jianzhou, Rongzhou, and the defense of the north is empty, which will inevitably allow the Qin army to take advantage of the loophole.

In a panic, Mu Heng didn't have time to temporarily change his deployment, and his guess quickly became a reality.

In just a few days, a large amount of bad news came from the north, and each letter came back to mean that the city had fallen, the Mu family army had been killed in battle, and the situation was on the verge of collapse.
