Chapter Ninety-Seven: Soldiers Approaching Xiangcheng (I)

After Huang Quan returned to the camp and showed Lin Yuyan the reaction of King Miquan of the Ming North, Lin Yuyan slightly hooked the corners of his mouth.

This point was not hidden from anyone, even the remnants of the newly attached Chen Zhiqing and other Han Shui princesses.

Even if Chen Zhiqing, as the general of Deng State, has nothing to find fault with Lin Yuyan's move, even if the Qin people have gathered hundreds of thousands of troops in Nanjun, I am afraid it will be difficult to truly protect Nanjun or Jiangxia.

Because as far as he knows, the Qin people have exhausted the strength of the whole country by gathering 100,000 troops in Nanjun, but whether it is the Shouwang Army, the Northern Wang Army, or even the Jishan Army, they are only the tip of the iceberg of Jing State.

Instead of fighting to the death with the Red Turban Army and wasting their lives in vain, it is better to divide these Red Turban Army of Jing State.

Accommodating the remnants and people of the Hanshui Zhuji and recovering Xiangcheng is already the greatest explanation to the undead of the Hanshui Zhuji such as the Deng royal family.

Thinking about it a little clearly, Chen Zhiqing glanced at Lin Yuyan with a little meaning, this Great Qin Gongzi is not very old, but when it comes to trade-offs, I am afraid that even he is not as good as him.

Thinking of this, Chen Zhiqing couldn't help but sigh that if Deng Guoguo was like this, how could it be his turn to be like this! 〗

In fact, the trade-off is too complicated for Chen Zhiqing, for Lin Yuyan, whether it is Jiangxia or Nanjun, it is not so deep nostalgia.

Even with the population of 500,000 in Jiangxia and Nanjun, the population of Daqin is only a million and slightly upward.

Now there are still a lot of wild places in Nanyang County, and it would be too wasteful for Lin Yuyan to waste manpower in places like Jiangxia and Nanjun that seem to be beautiful but are actually useless!

After all, the population of Nanyang County in later generations once reached nearly three million, and Lin Yuyan felt that Nanyang did not need to be so densely populated, but at least ten miles and one township, and one hundred miles and one city.

The foundation of Great Qin is in Nanyang, if the foundation is not enough to support Great Qin to expand its territory, the kind of means that you will collect today and I will cut down tomorrow is really a bit of a waste of national strength!

Thinking about it like this, Lin Yuyan only felt that the current top priority was to end the war in the south as soon as possible and return to Nanyang as soon as possible.

These words were naturally difficult to say, and everyone's topic gradually shifted to the direction of the Shouwang army besieging Xiangcheng.

At that moment, Lin Yuyan issued a military order, letting Dong Heng (Dong Ying's younger brother) of the Yulin Army lead 2,000 people and half of the chariots to stay in Ruoxian.

And the rest of the people are also divided into three roads along the Xiangcheng.

The army of the remnants of the Han Dynasty such as Yulin Army on the East Road and Chen Zhiqing on the Middle Road, and the Yunmeng Army on the West Road.

Among them, the arrangements are appropriate, the east road is the closest to Fandi, and Lin Yuyan chose to travel on the east road, in order to meet the Qin army in Fandi as soon as possible.

The middle road seems to be the most difficult to fight, but in fact, most of the guards arranged by the Shouwang army along the way are Deng people, and in the face of this, it is only appropriate to let Chen Zhiqing, the former general of Deng, go to attack.

As for the west road, it is the mountainous area of Xiangcheng, and the Qin army wants to capture this road completely to complete the situation of the siege of Xiangcheng.

There are the generals of the Deng people, and there are also catapults, sickle chariots and other sharp weapons of war, I am afraid that it will only take three days, and the guards around Xiangcheng will all disappear, and the army commanded by Daqin will be under the city of Xiangcheng.

Sure enough, among the southern three route armies besieging Xiangcheng, the remnants of the Hanshui Zhuji led by Chen Zhiqing in the middle were the most powerful.

The reason is that their banner is "save the Deng people"!

Although the Shou Wang Army and the Northern Wang Army are so disdainful of the civilians in the conquered land as "untouchables", they are not much better, especially Chen Zhiqing's ambition in the territory of Nanjun Deng, compared to the Deng royal family, the Deng royal family is majestic in blood, but Chen Zhiqing is convincing.

In this way, the guards under Shouwang Huanyu have defected, and the Shouwang army has swelled several times because of the defeat of Nanjun, and the power has shrunk in an instant, and when the remnant army of Hanshui Zhuji is less than a few miles into Xiangcheng, the Shouwang army is less than 60,000 people.

Although most of the soldiers defected and brought a weapon of only a wooden stick or a piece of bronze armor, it has to be said that the Shouwang army left in Xiangcheng caused a decadent atmosphere of defeat.

Shouwang Kankan returned to Xiangcheng for three days, and when he heard the news, he was also stunned, and he was furious, at this moment, he didn't know what the idea of the Northern King Mi Quan and the son Mi Yun was fighting without moving!

Especially when Lin Yuyan deliberately revealed.

"Shouwang!" The military advisor Ma Liang whispered to Shou Wang Huan Yu on the side.

Shouwang Huanyu came back to his senses, then looked at Ma Liang and asked, "What is the situation outside Xiangcheng?" ”

Ma Liang replied in a low tone: "King Shou, the guards of the Shouwang army arranged around Xiangcheng are all Deng people who have been surrendered, and now the soldiers and horses from all walks of life have returned to Xiangcheng!" ”

Hearing this, Shouwang Huan Yu also laughed at himself: "Sure enough, attacking the city is the bottom, attacking the heart is the top, this king has not fought with the son of this Qin State from beginning to end, but he has fallen into this person's calculation step by step!" ”

Ma Liang also heard of the commander of the Qin army and the son of Great Qin, Ying Yan, especially in recent days, the condition of the Shouwang army has deteriorated, thinking of the calculation of this great Qin prince, the more Ma Liang was frightened, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "The Qin State has a son like this, I'm afraid that Jing Guo's Northern Expedition plan will stop at Nanjun!" ”

When Shouwang Huanyu heard this, he didn't blame Ma Liang for hitting the morale of the army, there were no other soldiers around at the moment, Ma Liang was able to say this, and it was also a reminder to Shouwang Huanyu not to underestimate that Daqin Gongzi!

At the moment, Shouwang Huanyu also lost the spirit of competing on the battlefield in the past, and then asked Ma Liang: "Military advisor, how should you deal at this time?" ”

Hearing this, Ma Liang did not directly tell King Shou what to do, but replied from the current situation of King Shoujun: "King Shou, because of the successive wars in Nanjun, there is not much grain to be collected in the last year!" ”

"How long will it last?!" Shou Wang Huan Yu asked.

"At least ten days, even if you cut down on food and clothing, I'm afraid it won't last for a month!"

Hearing this, Shouwang Huan Yu looked at Ma Liang and said, "Take the middle number, that is, the fifteenth day...... That's enough! ”

"Enough? ......" Ma Liang muttered a few words, and suddenly came back to his senses, and then looked at Shouwang Huan Yu with a surprised face, and said, "Isn't it that King Shou still wants to resist the Qin army according to Xiangcheng?!" King Shou, now it is basically determined that the Beiwang Army and the Jishan Army will never come to the aid of our army! There is no food and grass inside, and there is no strong reinforcement outside, it is really unwise to confront the Qin army at this time! ”

Shouwang Huanyu was obviously not moved, but said proudly: "I have made up my mind, and the military advisor doesn't need to say much!" ”

The short cross made the military advisor Ma Liang suddenly remember......

This is King Shou!
