Chapter 381: Know Yourself and Know Your Enemy

Huan Yu's fiasco was more serious than Lin Yuyan expected, and a few days later, the war report came back almost all of them were one-sided situations, after Huan Yu's 50,000 horses suffered a fiasco in Xinshi, they lost their base camp and several cities, Huan Yu's subordinate generals and soldiers, part of them went north to Wulin to avoid the disaster of war, and the other part went east to the Xiapu area, in short, it was already scattered.

After Jiangxia's urgent letter, it also brought the latest news about the Huan Yu army, Huan Yu joined the army but not more than 10,000 soldiers, and his generals Cangzhou and Zhan were all killed in battle, and even Huan Yu's most relied on general Huan Ping was also seriously injured and dying, as for Huan Yu himself, he also lost an arm in this battle, and all the food and armaments of Jingling were handed over to Xiong Ji's Wuling army.

A series of news came one after another, so that Lin Yuyan was also caught off guard, and Ji Zhan, the general of the Yunmeng Army, was also anxious to see Lin Yuyan when he heard this, and said: "Your Highness, the Wuling army has already broken through Jingling, and it is just a river away from Wulin, only the righteous father led tens of thousands of new soldiers to guard there, I am afraid that I can't resist Xiong Ji's Wuling army, and I also ask His Highness to send troops back to Jiangxia to support!" ”

Lin Yuyan looked at the marching map, and said with some concern: "Returning to Jiangxia from Ruoguan, the distant water can't save the near fire, the old general Du Hui can rely on the natural danger of the Han River, he should be able to hold Wulin for a few days, and ordered General Wu Kang to lead the fleet of the Han Navy down the Han River to return to the Wulin area, Ji Hunt, you also lead 10,000 horses to support!" ”

Although Ji Hunt is brave, he has recently been taught some military techniques by Du Hui, and he asked with a suspicious face after thinking about it at the moment...... Stretched! ”

Hearing this, Lin Yuyan waved his hand and said: "No, even if Xiong Ji Xinshi captured Jingling, it was just to fight with my Great Qin with all his might, and now Huan Yu has been defeated, and the loss of elite is no longer a trouble, and this battle also let Daqin know that Xiong Ji has very few troops south of Ruoguan, so it is only in the past few days that our army has been frequently reported, it is precisely because of this that Xiong Ji will immediately send the elite of the Wuling Army back to Yanling after the Battle of Xinshi, and the one who captured Jingling must not be the main force of Xiong Ji's army!" ”

When Ji Hunt heard this, he thought about it seriously, and felt that what Lin Yuyan said was not wrong, so he nodded and hugged his fists and said, "Oh!" ”

Ji Jia led half of the Yunmeng Army, as well as Wu Kang's army, and rushed to Wulin first, so that Daqin, who originally had the advantage of troops, instantly became a disadvantage, especially when he heard that Xiong Ji recruited the 100,000 leather armor army out of nowhere, which made Lin Yuyan have to be cautious.

As early as a few years ago, at the beginning of Lin Yuyan's battle to defend the southern border, he knew that there would be a war between Great Qin and Jing State, so he spared no effort to insert Great Qin's fine work into the hinterland of Jing State, including the armies of Huan Yu and Xiong Ji at the beginning.

When Xiong Ji's Ganyukou saw the people and horses of Wuyang, Lin Yuyan knew about it through these channels every few days, but Huan Yu didn't know it, so it caused the defeat of Xinshi.

Huan Yu's fiasco in Xinshi also meant that Lin Yuyan's original plan to attack Xiong Ji's army on two sides failed, and he even had to divide his troops to return to Jiangxia to defend, and even had to face the nearly 100,000 Gejia army that suddenly surged south of Hanshui with a small number of troops.

Wu Kang returned to Wulin to rescue, which means that Daqin's military advantage on the water is also gone, and the defense line of the Han River tributaries Lujiang, Sanli and other water flows has also become full of holes.

Daqin's fine work did not penetrate into Xiong Ji's high-level generals, but many of them were grassroots uncles, Wu chiefs and the like, so it didn't take a few days for news about Xiong Jijun to come back to Ruoguanzhong.

Sure enough, after the battle of Xinshi, Xiong Ji immediately pulled the army back to Yanling, almost non-stop, this is also because the battle of Xinshi is a big gamble, the bet is won, Xiong Ji is nothing more than the biggest winner to change the previous situation of Daqin's superiority, but if the bet is lost, it is not yet known who will die in the south of Hanshui, but Xiong Ji is very likely to end up dead.

However, Xiong Ji won the bet, which means that the 80,000 leather armor troops that Yingdu opened are friends and not enemies, and they can be used, and Xiong Ji's Huan Yu in the throat is also not the climate, so Xiong Ji is in Yanling, preparing to fight with the Qin people.

The news that Daqin Xizuo came back also made it clear that Xiong Ji's reinforcements were reinforcements from Yingdu, which was beyond Lin Yuyan's expectations, and the original expectation was that these soldiers and horses were Xiong Ji's secret hole cards that dared to fight against Yingdu, but he didn't expect that it would be Yingdu's reinforcements.

At this time, it was Lin Yuyan's estimation of Yingdu that there was an error again, the national conditions of Jing were different from those of Great Qin, and Zhurong Tiangong was modeled after the sub-feudal system implemented by the Ji Zhou royal family in the Central Plains, so most of the troops of Jing were in the hands of the Quartet, and the most top-notch of them was Hengshan County, which belonged to the Dongzhu State, because it was directly facing the royal family of Chu, so Zhu Rong Tiangong also promised that Dongzhu Guo could bear 300,000 soldiers.

Secondly, like Xiong Ji, Huan Yu and other Zhu Rongtian Gong believe that they cannot be trusted, most of them are around 100,000 soldiers, and when Yingdu first battled, the rebel soldiers were about one million, so that the troops stationed around Yingdu were only about 200,000.

The leather armor army that can be taken out is only 100,000 at most, but he didn't expect that Yingdu was actually sent to Xiong Ji 100,000 leather armor army, and then there was a steady stream of subordinates who would be escorted to the front line, so Lin Yuyan couldn't help but wonder, when did Yingdu have so many more soldiers and horses!

Therefore, it is also for Lin Yuyan to send an order to the scout chief in charge of Jingdi intelligence, take back the latest news of Yingdu, and then write the situation in the southern border of Great Qin into two chapters, one is transmitted back to Wancheng, and the other is more concise, and the official document is relatively strong, which is written by Lin Yuyan to the Chu State, which is also the obligation of the princes who join the alliance to the alliance lord Chu State, that is, the monthly news, the recent battle situation and the deployment of the enemy's troops are reported to the alliance leader, mostly once or several times a month.

This news has been back and forth for more than half a month, in this half month, Xiong Ji has already placed a properly placed army, 80,000 Yingdu leather armor army, Xinshi after the victory of the Huan Yu army captured after the victory of the first battle was Xiong Ji formed a leather armor army, so calculated, the leather armor army directly controlled by Xiong Ji in the north of Jing State has skyrocketed to more than 150,000 people!

Moreover, according to the detailed report in the Wuling army, almost every once in a while, Yingdu will send a group of tens of thousands of subordinates under Xiong Ji's command, and Xiong Ji's boasting of 500,000 troops in Haikou has become a reality!

Xiong Ji, who has such confidence, is also a lot more courageous, and launched several attacks on Ruoguan guarded by Daqin, Daqin's army is better than the soldiers under Xiong Ji's command, although there is a numerical inferiority, but after all, it is a mutual victory and defeat with Xiong Ji's army.

Both sides knew that these battles were just a small fight, a temptation.

At the end of March, the letter of the State of Chu, the reply letter of the Duke of Qin, and the secret agents of the Yingdu all arrived in front of Lin Yuyan, and this time looking at the struggle of the entire Jing State, Lin Yuyan frowned even more.

Yuzhang County and Guiyang County along the way of Wu State, Jing State gathered 400,000 troops in Pengli, and Hengshan County, where Dongzhu State was located, the situation faced by Chu State was extremely severe, and Jing State Dongzhu State was fully mobilized 600,000 troops.

It is not difficult for Jingdi to gather so many people, starting from the old Chu, believing in the inaction of the Huang Lao school, the population of Jingchu has entered a skyrocketing stage, once reaching the point where it can be comparable to the Central Plains, Jing has a vast territory, and Changsha County alone has a population of nearly three million, which has surpassed the Qin State that occupies the land of five counties.

And in the wild mountains of Jingdi, there are still countless civilized savages, although they can't communicate with the Jing people, they are still afraid of the sticks and knives of the Jing people, and are willing to be subordinates.

It is not too difficult for Jing Di to be able to raise 1.5 million soldiers, after all, the soldiers of Jing people are able to go to the battlefield with a wooden stick!

The question is, where did Jingdi get so much food to feed so many soldiers?

That's 1.5 million people, and enough food to be eaten in one day is enough to throw it into the Han River and cut it off!

It turned out that a few years ago, after the former king of Jingdi launched a rebellion and was put down, Zhu Rong Tiangong of Yingdu found a virtuous person to govern Yuzhang and Guiyang counties under the rule of the former king of the south.

In addition to encouraging cultivation in Yuzhang and Guiyang, the king of the south also recruited displaced people, cultivating when the farm was busy, and practicing military affairs when the farm was slack. After several years of operation, there were hundreds of thousands of leather armor troops in Yuzhang and Guiyang, and in addition, a large amount of armaments and food were also accumulated.

It was the great help of the former king of the South that brought the precarious Jing Kingdom back to life in an instant after the Xincai Huimeng, turning the crisis into safety!

"What kind of demonic talent is this King of Jing Kingdom, who has accumulated such a deep national strength for Jing Kingdom for several years!" After listening to the secret agent's reply, Lin Yuyan also had a huge curiosity about this king of the south who almost brought Jing back to life.

What Lin Yuyan cared about was that the King of the South was indeed a rare talent, and the generals Fang De and Chen Zhiqing in the Great Qin Southern Expeditionary Army were all worried, and said: "In this way, it is difficult to say the outcome of the Jing State established by the Xincai Huimeng......

Lin Yuyan thought for a while before saying: "It's true that some of the tricky ones are true, but even if Jing Guo has some means now, in the face of the general trend, it must be powerless, it's just a matter of time." ”

Fang Denai was born as a military horse in the north, and he also frowned and said: "The soldiers of the Han people look sideways at the territory of Zheng Guo, it has not been sent for two years, it can be predicted, if the Han people move, they will take the land of Zheng Guo with the power of thunder, Zheng Guo Qimu is chaotic, and the internal government is rotten, it is bound to not be able to drag on the Han people for long, and then Daqin is connected to almost half of the border of the Han people, how can there be no incident!" ”

The deputy general of the Yunmeng Army, Hu Yi, also looked at Lin Yuyan and said, "Your Highness, did you set up an ambush for the Xiong Ji Army in the first battle of Xiantao back then?" ”

I heard that the battle of Xiantao, except for a few generals such as Chen Zhiqing, who were born in Nanjun military generals, did not know, the rest of the Yunmeng Army, Yulin Army was very impressed, it was the battle of Xiantao that made Jing's Northern Expedition East Route Army, that is, the Northern Wang Army, annihilated, laying the beginning of the old attachment to Great Qin, which was also the only battle since the founding of Great Qin to win more with less!

Before Lin Yuyan objected, Fang De spoke out and objected: "No, a certain Guan Xiong Ji is already three dangers and seven tricks, not as easy to fool as that Qi Quan, after all, the battle of Xiantao is just a time when the national strength of Great Qin is weak!" ”

Lin Yuyan also agreed with some of what Fang De said, and then Lin Yuyan swept the generals in the camp and said: "Xiong Ji's soldiers can indeed be regarded as a treacherous general, so they cannot be ignored, but it doesn't hurt to let Xiong Ji run rampant for a few days these days, just order the sergeants of the army to practice and inspect normally, and when those armaments in Jiangxia are transported to Ruoguan, it is not yet known to defeat Xiong Ji's army in one fell swoop!" ”

Fang De glanced at Lin Yuyan in some surprise, and asked with some hesitation: "Your Highness is so sure?" ”

Lin Yuyan nodded and said: "Jiangxia has also created a lot of war weapons for the southern expedition this year, which can increase the chances of our army by several percent, and there is no chance for man. ”

This reminded Fang De of the Battle of Xiantao many years ago, and this His Royal Highness also took out sharp weapons such as sickle chariots, which completed the rare battle of winning more with less in Great Qin since ancient times.

Chen Zhiqing also glanced at Lin Yuyan, but nodded quite approvingly, and he had a lot of friends with this Highness, and it is expected that this Highness will not be untargeted!

Seeing that the generals had no objections, Lin Yuyan immediately said: "In this case, order the troops to return to Ruoguan to prevent Xiong Ji from raising troops to attack, you might as well send a few fleets or cavalry to attack the rear of Xiong Ji's army, and also inform the old general Du Hui on the Wulin side that he is ready to capture Jingling, and then recruit the remnants of Huan Yu's army to attack Xiong Ji's rear, and maintain the two-headed attack momentum set by Yuan Xia to the greatest extent!" ”

Lin Yuyan's instructions were clearly spoken, so that the generals found that this highness was already in the chest, and at the moment he was curious about the war weapon that Lin Yuyan said about Jiangxia, what kind of war weapon can make His Royal Highness Gongziyan so confident!
