Chapter 551: Catching a Turtle in an Urn
"The Western Route Army must not be sacrificed!"
Ji Xuanling's face was as firm as iron, and he said categorically.
Training a strong elite soldier takes time and costs a lot of money and food.
The Western Route Army is a veteran of a hundred battles, brave and good at fighting, tempered by blood and fire, and has rich combat experience.
It must not be abandoned unless it is absolutely necessary.
Jia asked, hearing this, and sighed.
He did not insist on abandoning the Western Route Army, but only proposed the worst option when the situation was irreversible.
Without Ji Xuanling's approval, he had to think of another way.
On the throne, Ji Xuanling looked at Xu Wenda and Lu Linxuan, his eyes shining with a bit of expectation.
I hope that they will give their own suggestions, and they can brainstorm and make the most correct judgment based on the consideration of all parties.
Xu Wenda and Lu Linxuan's thoughts are turning, whether to fight or retreat, or even to make peace, can change the situation of the Western Route Army.
However, the poor handling also changed the plan of Qin's southern expedition, so that many of the pre-war arrangements were all in vain.
If it is bad, the Qin army will lose its troops and withdraw from southern Xinjiang, including relinquishing Jingzhou and Xiangzhou.
After a while, Xu asked to come out of the ranks, saluted and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Jia suggested sending General Zhong Kang to the rescue and sending General Zhong Tai to defend against the enemy's strategy. However, the Western Route Army must not be sacrificed. The minister suggested that reinforcements be sent from the imperial court to rush to help, rescue the Western Route Army as much as possible, and then make a plan for a counterattack. ”
In a word, stay in the green mountains, and don't worry about running out of firewood.
If the Qin State wants to continue and grow, it must keep the veterans of a hundred battles in the army.
Otherwise, Zhao Rui, Zhao Xing's Tiger Army, Jing Xiang Army, relying on the momentum is flourishing to beat the Qin army, the Western Route Army will die, and Gongsun Ang, Yu Changxiong, Ruan Xinghe and other generals will die.
Lu Linxuan's proposal is basically similar to Jia Wendao's, and he supports not changing the current plan.
It is hoped that the Western Route Army will be independent and self-protective, counterattack against the trend, turn danger into disaster, and buy ample time for the Qin army in Qianzhou and Jiangnan.
With this, reinforcements were sent to help, bribed the coalition generals of Qi, Chuyan, Han, Zhao Wei, strengthened the battle against Dakang, and forced Zhao Rui, the king of Yong, to return to his division.
After understanding the suggestions of the ministers, Ji Xuanling said: "The ministers should be clear that the land is lost, and the people and land are lost; There is a truth that people and lands are lost, and people and lands are saved, and the Qin State is not strong enough to sacrifice 100,000 elites in exchange for three states. ”
Hearing this, Jia asked, Xu asked, Lu Linxuan, Guo Jikang, and suddenly knew Ji Xuanling's thoughts.
After careful consideration, Ji Xuanling said that the land is lost, and the people and the land are lost; It is not unreasonable to save people and lose land, and people and land exist, especially when the Western Route Army is suddenly in danger.
After repeated discussions, Ji Xuanling and others unanimously decided to mobilize elites from Shendu, promote Xing Buying as commander, and rush to Gaotang Prefecture under the stars.
With this, Ji Xuanling urged: "Send a messenger to send a message to Wu Jiling, ordering him to end the battle in Qianzhou as soon as possible, even if it comes back at some cost, it must be resolved quickly and go to the aid of the Western Route Army." We waited to expand the results in Jiangnan and forced Sun Ming to show up. ”
Despite the change of plans, Ji Xuanling was still faintly worried, worried that Sun Ming would learn about the battle situation in Gaotang Prefecture, and in order to drag the Qin army in the south of the Yangtze River, he deliberately hid his troops and avoided fighting.
After all, the longer the Qin army stayed in Jiangnan, the more dangerous it became, and even fell into the quagmire of war, and was eventually beaten by various armies.
"Whoa!"
Jia asked, and the four of them took orders.
That night, the westward messenger left, and the scouts in the army were like fluttering dandelions, scattered around Xiangyang County and Linyou County, detecting the defense lines in various places and searching for Sun Ming's main force.
The next day, the scouts brought back to Xiangyang County, and learned the news of Linyou County, where the defenders of the two counties were, Guo Jikang, and Lu Linxuan led their troops to conquer.
In a few days, Xiangyang County and Linyou County set off a bloody rain, and the wolf smoke for help drifted in all directions.
Xiangyang, which was usually quiet and peaceful, traveled and killed ups and downs, and the two impermanence ghosts ran out of hell, harvesting the lives of the Jiangnan army and seizing the city they controlled.
In a few days, Ji Xuanling, Lu Linxuan, and Guo Jikang were in Xiangyang, and Linyou stood on their heels, and the finished characters of the three armies were horns for each other.
Advance can be attacked, retreat can be defended, and keep encroaching on Wuzhou's territory.
In Xianghe County, Lin Jianlu and Shen Tuxiu led the army to fight and attacked the elite arranged by Yang Chengbi in Feiying Stream.
They took advantage of the victory to pursue and forced into the capital of Xianghe County, wanting to seize the city, take the head of Yang Chengbi, and completely occupy Xianghe County.
Zhangzhou, Jian'an.
The capital of Jiangnan, the core of the Sun family's rule.
Sun Ming was training the army, trying to strengthen the training of the army and expel the Qin army.
However, after Ji Xuanling led the army into Xianghe County, Sun Ming gradually became angry.
Three days ago, the news sent back by the messenger was like snowflakes flying from Wuzhou.
Heyang County has fallen!
The Qin army broke into Xiangyang County!
The Qin army broke into Linyou County!
Flying Eagle Stream is defeated!
Wait a minute!
The bad news of the defeat was continuously sent from Xianghe County, Xiangyang County, and Linyou County!
Ah Cheng has fallen!
Hecheng is lost!
Yucheng is occupied!
The bad news sent back by a letter was like a dagger piercing Sun Ming's heart.
Is Ji Xuanling crazy?
Is Qin Jun crazy?
The fight in Wuzhou was so fierce, and the speed of attacking the city exceeded the capture of Jingxiang and the two states.
Not only did the thunder speed break through the defense line of the Jiangnan Army in Wuzhou, but it was also like a young silkworm devouring mulberry leaves, frantically encroaching on the territory of Wuzhou, heading towards Zhangzhou.
Early in the morning, Sun Ming discussed with his staff about sending troops, and news of the fall of the city came at noon.
After further discussion, it was decided to send troops, and the county changed hands.
The Qin army was simply blooming everywhere in Wuzhou, like a mad dog attacking the city.
This encounter made Sun Ming restless, fearing that the Qin army would seize Wuzhou and enter Zhangzhou in one go, and at that time, he would not even have time to deploy troops, and Jiangnan would be occupied by the Qin army.
"Lord, hurry up and reinforce it!" Some staff suggested that they were afraid that something would change later.
"Yes, you can't let the Qin army attack the city and plunder the land." With the general in mind, Jiangnan is not big, and as the Qin army continues to capture the city, their living space will become smaller and smaller, and there will not even be a place to stand.
It's a pity that Sun Ming will not die.
Just when Jiangnan was in danger and Sun Ming was at a loss, a messenger from Gaotang Prefecture helped him Sun Ming solve his urgent need.
Reading the letter, Sun Ming learned that the Western Route Army led by Gongsun Ang, Yu Changxiong, and Ruan Xinghe was ambushed by Zhao Rui and Zhao Xing, the king of Yong, in Gaotang Prefecture, and the Qin army suffered heavy losses and was forced to retreat in three places to survive. ”
At this point, he finally understood.
Why did the Qin army suddenly act like a mad dog, regardless of the danger, wantonly attacking the city in Wuzhou.
The Qin army, it turned out to be the Qin army's Western Route Army that was frustrated, and the situation was confusing.
If his guess was correct, Ji Xuanling probably hoped for a quick victory, and after capturing Jiangnan, he would lead his army to rescue the Western Route Army commanded by Gongsun Ang.
For a while, the depressed color on Sun Ming's face receded, and a thick joy rose, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Ji Xuanling, I won't let your wishful thinking succeed!" ”
