Chapter 80: Ao Cang
The beam is the place where the rivers of Huaishang meet, even if Zhao Zheng, the king of Qin, is not in the beam, there are many strategists in the combat department who suggest taking the beam. Once the Great Liang is taken, it will be able to control the passage of the Qin army to the south. The four-wheeled carriage did improve the transportation of grain and straw for the Qin army, but land and water transportation were not at all comparable. Taking Daliang can not only curb the southern invasion of the Qin army, but also ensure that the Chu Guozhou division goes north, and the blocking tactics are ineffective in the north of Daliang, where is the garden Tianze that is nearly 100 miles long.
The girder is important, but how to take the girder is a big problem. If the king of Qin is besieged in Daliang, the Qin state will attack the whole country, although there is a Great Wall in the west of Daliang - the Great Wall of Wei starts from the Yellow River, first along the west bank of the chasm, and then along the Putianze, and extends to the south to Saiyuguan (now Dazhuang in Weishi County), which is more than 160 li.
The Qin army failed to attack the Great Liang all times, all because of the obstruction of the Great Wall of Wei and Putianze. The girder is a big city, and the thickness of the city wall is more than ten meters, even dozens of meters, not a thin city wall like Jucheng. If the state of Chu did not pull out the girder in a short period of time, and the hundreds of thousands of reinforcements of the Qin army crossed the Great Wall of Wei, Xiang Yan really couldn't think of any other way than to withdraw his troops.
After the establishment of the Great Sima Mansion, the formulation of the battle plan was already a matter for the Operations Division, Xiang Yan only had to choose which strategy, so he was not too distressed, Wei Zeng, the king of Wei in Daliang City, began to sigh after retreating to Xiaobed.
King Qin has become a hot potato, and if he doesn't leave the beam, Xiang Yan will definitely attack the beam; He was unwilling to ask King Qin to go, so Liang was bound to become a bloody battlefield.
"What if so?" Looking at his servants, Wei Zeng waved away the concubine who came up to serve.
"The king thinks that the Qin State wants to destroy Wei Hu?" Wei Xi was not as sad as Wei Zeng, he already had a calculation in his heart.
"Not really." Wei Zeng thought about it carefully, and did not feel the meaning of King Qin's destruction of Wei. "If the Qin army is defeated, how can you destroy me?"
"In this way, the minister asks the king to tell the king of Qin about the marquis of Han." Wei Xi said, "The Han Hou wanted to keep the King of Qin in Daliang because he had an appointment with Xiang Yan and wanted to capture and kill the King of Qin. When the minister heard that the king of Qin was suspicious, he would be afraid to leave. ”
"This ...... Injustice also. Although South Korea has selfish intentions, it is also for the interests of Wei and South Korea, and Han Fei candidly told Han Hou who he was, and he also meant to share the intelligence of Qin in the future. It's not appropriate to sell Huan Qi now.
"When a minister hears that he is profitable, he does not say righteousness. If the king does not sue Han Hou to the king of Qin, Xiang Yan will surround the beam. The city is broken, the Wei country is destroyed, and the city is not broken, and my Wei country is also killed and injured. To exchange one person for the safety of a city is only righteous. Wei Xi persuaded. He thought about it, and if he wanted King Qin to leave Daliang, there was only this way. "If the king thinks of that Huan Qi, he can send him to flee Chu first, and the king of Qin will leave Daliang when he sees that Huan Qi has fled, and the king of Qin is not in Daliang, and Wei can make peace with Chu."
After Wei Xi finished speaking, Wei Zeng didn't answer, and after a long time, he nodded silently, and decided the fate of Huan Qi. It's just that he thought that Xiang Yan would lead the army to surround Daliang that night, but after secretly sending King Qin out of the city in the second half of the night, the news he heard turned out to be that Jing Renzhou abandoned Daliang and went north. To the north is Putianze, and when you come out of Putianze, it is the big river, what is the Chu State doing in the big river? Could it be that the Chu army already knew that the King of Qin had left Daliang and was chasing after the King of Qin?
Thinking of this, Wei Zeng couldn't help but be a little excited, he didn't dare to kill King Qin, but he was happy to see King Qin die at the hands of the Chu people. Once the King of Qin is dead, the Qin State will be in chaos for several more years, and the danger of destroying the country will be postponed for several years.
"Someone." Wei Zeng, who was standing on the wall of Daliang in the early morning and watched the Chu Junzhou division go north, shouted.
"The minister is here." The chasm was full of the boats of the Chu army, and there were twenty or thirty miles of mighty roads, and the ministers' vests were all sweating.
"Quickly send the soldiers to chase the King of Qin. If the Chu army attacks it, it will not fight. Wei Zeng said in a low voice, he wanted to watch King Qin being killed by the Chu people.
"Yui." They are all smart people, and the king's thoughts and courtiers understand it very well.
"Why didn't the king stay because of the king of Qin?" Wei Jian was furious, although he didn't know why King Qin hurriedly left the city, but this must be related to King Wei.
"The widow has his own decision." The first king was jealous of Xinlingjun seizing the throne, although Wei Jianwei inherited the title of Xinlingjun, but his reputation was far inferior to his father, and Wei Zeng spoke to him in an old-fashioned manner.
"The king will repent of what he has done today." Wei Jian sighed worriedly, and after saying that, he retreated.
*
Guowei Huan Qi fornicated with Xiang Yan, causing the Qin army to be defeated, and induced himself to stay in Daliang so that the enemy army could besiege the city - Zhao Zheng didn't believe it when he heard such news, but Huan Qi disappeared, and he finally realized that this was a terrible conspiracy.
Out of the city in the middle of the night, unexpectedly found that the Chu army boat division abandoned the Liang and came in spite of the chase, and Zhao Zheng felt that this was the conspiracy of the King of Wei: the Wei people did not dare to harm themselves, but the Jing people dared, and the King of Wei wanted to kill himself under the pretense of the hands of the Jing people.
Shocked overnight, Zhao Zheng's face in the carriage became more and more heavy, and Zhao Gao lowered his head when he saw him like this.
"The boatmaster is still chasing me?" Zhao Zheng asked again, his hand clenching his sword tightly.
"Yes, yes." Zhao Gao poked his head out and asked, and then answered.
"The flag has been lowered?" Zhao Zheng asked again.
The Son of Heaven is constant, and the sun and the moon are painted. After the destruction of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and the relocation of Jiuding, the banner of the King of Qin was the permanent flag painted with the sun and the moon, and the monarchs of the Kwantung countries could only hang the flag. The former honor turned into a sign of attracting the enemy, and when he heard that the boat master was chasing, Zhao Zheng immediately ordered the Chang flag to be lowered.
"Yes, yes." Zhao Gao replied again, and he persuaded: "Don't worry, the five thousand guards of the Shaofu will be able to protect the king." Rongyang's 30,000 army has been set up yesterday, and it will come to the rescue in the starry night, and it may be able to ...... today."
"Rongyang, Huan Qi is the marquis of the enemy country, how can his words be done." When it came to Huan Qi Zhao Zheng was furious, he suddenly flipped the short table in front of him, and several books and slips flew sideways and fell on the entire carriage. "If the widow returns to Xianyang, he will swear to punish his seven clans."
"Tell the king, Jing Renzhou went to the big river, but he is gone." Zhang Han's voice came from outside the car. At this time, the convoy was no longer heading north along the garden, but turning eastward towards Rongyang.
"Big River?" Zhao Zheng was puzzled, "Why did Xiang Yan go to Dahe?" ”
The big river is the Yellow River, and Shaanxi is not called the loess slope in this era, so the river is not yellow. In early autumn, the field was still wide, and Xiang Yan wanted Xiong Jing to stay in the field, but he just wanted to go to the river to see. As soon as he entered the Yellow River, he was a little stunned, because the river water is not yellow, not only is it not yellow, but the surface of the river is also twice that of the chasm, and it is several miles wide.
"This is the Great River?" After sailing into the Yellow River, the winged warboat turned to the east, while the large-winged warboat continued to speed and hurried towards Aocang, which was not far away. At dawn, there was a group of Qin troops sailing to Rongyang in the west of Putian Ze, many people thought that this was the reinforcement of the Qin army to reinforce Rongyang, but no one thought that this group of Qin troops was actually the guards of Qin Wei and Zhao Zheng.
"Yes, yes." Right Shi doesn't know why the king asked like this, the river is more than a thousand steps wide, and there is no water so wide except for the river.
"No, I always thought it was ...... The river is yellow. Xiong Jing smiled.
"Indeed, when the rain rains, the river is yellow." I don't understand why the king is curious about the color of the river.
"Go to Aocang." Xiong Jing no longer looked at the river, he was going to Ao Cang now.
"The king, the general has an order, and he doesn't want the king to go to Aocang." The general of the boat division, the red one, is also on the winged warship. "The queen asked the king to return to Yingdu as soon as possible."
The boat division attacked the girder, and the flying station was set up on the boat, and the information between it and Yingdu has always been communicated. Concubine Zhao misses her son, and as soon as she hears that the war is coming, she wants her son to return to Yingdu as soon as possible.
Xiong Jing saw that the red man was pressing himself after taking his mother, and said unhappily: "Is General Red going to imprison him?" ”
"I don't dare." The red man hurriedly saluted. "The Aocang garrison is less than 10,000, and there is no equipment, our Chu army is like a bamboo, and it goes down with a drum. The king went to war, but it was useless. ”
"Hmph." Xiong Jing was indeed a little disliked, and he knew why Xiang Yan and the others were like this. "If you don't pass on the king's order, go to Aocang quickly."
"The king," the winged warboat was full of sanitation, and the red man could not order, so he could only say: "Please don't go ashore, let alone ...... king."
"No, no horses." Xiong Jing said angrily, it was a whim to rush towards the Qin army that day, not his original intention. Now that he is not convinced, his injury has not healed, and it is impossible for him to charge alone.
Hongmu was slightly relieved when he heard him say this, but he still secretly asked Chang Jiang to tell the sanitation paddling to be slower. So much so that when the winged warship arrived in Aocang, all the people on the mountain cheered.
"Took Aocang? Took Aocang? Hearing the cheers of the soldiers, Xiong Jing asked anxiously.
Aocang is surrounded by the south bank of the Yellow River, and corn can be transferred to the gap. According to the battle plan, part of the large wing was transmitted directly from the mouth of the chasm to the grain canal connecting the chasm in Aocang, and the other part turned into the Yellow River and landed from the north of Aocang. Ao Cang did not have many defenders, and the 30,000 defenders of Rongyang were ordered to be transferred to Daliang, and thousands of Qin troops were defeated and scattered. It's just that because of the obstruction of Ao Mountain, the bears on the war boat can't see anything.
"Tell the king, our army has captured Aocang!" The red flag was punched out, and once it went, it got a reply from the top of the mountain.
"No, I want to go and see it!" Xiong Jing was a little impatient, and quickly ordered the war boat to dock.
"Please ...... the king" Hongji was about to confess his caution, and Xiong Jing had already run down the wooden ladder and climbed the riverbank. Fortunately, he didn't have a horse and couldn't run fast this time, and more than 200 sanitation guards hurried up with three phoenix flags to catch up and protect him.
Aocang is in the west of Ao Mountain, at the gap of the remaining veins of Ao Mountain (now in the area of Magou Village, Gaocun Township, Rongyang). From here, you can pass through Aoshan and export corn to Aocang in the south of Shannan. In the north, as long as the gap in the remaining veins of Aoshan can be blocked, the enemy can be blocked, and in the south, although the remaining veins of Aoshan are lacking, the terrain is still higher than that in the south. In addition, there is a grain transportation canal south of Aocang, from which the chasm can be crossed.
Before Xiong Jing landed on the shore, he saw the grain boats and helpless boatmen parked by the Yellow River, and when he landed on the shore, he saw rows of double-wheeled carts, which were full of sacks, and because of the panic, there was a section of the road full of scattered corn. But what really opened his eyes was the southern slope of Yumai, looking south, halfway up the hill was full of dense pottery. To the east of the pottery, there are the granaries that stand like houses, these granaries spread all over the south of Ao Mountain, orderly like the Yingdu market, and it is almost impossible to see the end at a glance.
"Finally there is food." Xiong Jing breathed a sigh of relief.
