Chapter 359: The Great War Is About to Begin
After reaching an agreement with Huan Yu, Lin Yuyan also planned to hand over the first batch of grain and Jiangxia armaments to Jingling as soon as possible, after all, Xiong Ji still had an aggressive posture after occupying Ganyukou, and almost every day he would send some men and horses down the river to attack Jingling.
If it wasn't for the Han army of Daqin who was stationed in Wulin, and the Yunmeng army arrived later, otherwise Xiong Ji would have taken advantage of the situation to pursue and defeat the Shouwang army that retreated to Jingling.
Even in the past few days, with Daqin watching from the side, Xiong Ji also sent people to attack Jingling every day, and even the family members of the Shouwang soldiers who would continue to follow Huan Yu were killed and thrown into the Han River, and went down the river to Jingling, affecting the morale of the Shouwang army.
After Huan Yu got Daqin's reply, he also reorganized the remnants in Jingling and couldn't hold out.
The first batch of grain sent by Daqin was in early July, for Huan Yu, it was simply a solution to the urgent need, without him, Jingdi, there is food is there soldiers and horses, why Zhewang Qu Yan was able to easily pull up hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses around Zhecheng, the reason is that Zhewang Qu Yan mastered the richest Zhecheng in Jing State!
Ma Liang has already led a part of the remnants of the army back, and was entrusted with an important task by Huan Yu, entrusting him to go to the Xiapu area in the east of Yunmengze where the population is more concentrated, and Huan Yu is staying in Jingling, and he is also reorganizing the Shouwang army and training the army.
The first batch of Jiangxia exchanged armaments that Daqin gave to Jingling was in early August, and Ming Sui sent troops to cooperate with Wu Chu to attack Jingguo, so Daqin also made every effort to cast the armaments of several soldiers and horses in the south, mainly from Nanjun, after all, Jiangxia has its own complete foundry, which can meet the needs of the two armies of Yunmeng and Hanshui.
Most of these exchanged armaments were produced a few years ago, when Daqin mastered the [Ten Wrought Iron] casting skills, and Daqin's armaments were changed every two years, because the crusade against Jing was also an urgent disposition, so these ten wrought iron armaments were also replaced, originally intended to be rebuilt, and now they are all given to the Shouwang Army.
The old-style armament of ten wrought iron, compared to all the armaments of the Jingdi army that rose up, is really much better, during the first battle of the southern border, Lin Yuyan even saw soldiers with wooden pestles in the two brigades of the Northern King Army of Jing State, Shouwang Army, the so-called elite army of Jing State [Leather Armor Army] can have nothing more than a worn leather armor and a weapon made of bronze.
According to the rules for forming an army in Jingdi, the food and armaments that Lin Yuyan promised to Huan Yu were enough to gather together a 30,000-strong Jingdi Leather Army.
In fact, the controllability of Shouwang Huanyu is not high, but Lin Yuyan is a little concerned about the names of the so-called Xiong Ji of the West Pillar Kingdom and the King Zhe, the head of the Five Pillar Stone Generals, after all, people like Beiwang Miquan who have become the princes of Jing by relying on their relatives and their whiskers and horses.
Thinking that in the spring of the next year, Daqin sent troops to cross the Han River and enter the Jingdi area, Lin Yuyan was a big head, so he attracted Shouwang Huanyu, a sworn enemy who was almost a defensive force in the north of Jingdi, as an ally, and joined forces to attack the northern border of Jingdi in the future.
Shouwang Huanyu didn't know Lin Yuyan's plan, but for Shouwang Huanyu, it was nothing more than benefits.
The confrontation lasted for nearly a month, and the soldiers and horses of Xiong Ji of the West Pillar State finally retreated, and the retreat here does not mean that Xiong Ji led the Wuling army back to Wuling, but firmly stuck in Nanjun, and it was also in the hands of Qu Yan, the king of Zhe, who mastered the north of Neifang Mountain, and the reason why he stopped the offensive was not anything else, precisely because it was the time of the autumn harvest, when Huan Yu retreated from Ganyukou, he burned most of the grain, and Xiong Ji's appetite was not something that could be satisfied around the small Yanling, his eyes crossed the Han River, Directly aimed at the north of Ruoguan, and there was the border of Great Qin.
Therefore, Xiong Ji reorganized his troops and horses, and once again launched several attacks towards Ruoguan, and Chen Zhiqing, the general of Nanjun, also led his troops to block it, but fortunately he stopped it alone, and suffered some food losses, but there were no other losses.
The day of the alliance between Great Qin and Wu Chu is the spring of the next year, but in fact, before that, it is necessary to discuss all the affairs, and the day of the alliance is nothing more than the signing of an alliance to attack and defend together, and the issuance of a document to crusade against Jing, the news of Wu and Chu also spread to Wancheng, and the Duke of Qin also notified Lin Yuyan.
The state of Chu sent 500,000 troops to attack Hengyang County in Jingdi in the areas of Liudi, Qian, and Shu, which was the town and feudal town of the eastern pillar of Jing State, and it was the eastern route army of the alliance.
Wu sent 300,000 troops to the mountains around Ailing and Lingyang, and it was Guiyang County, which was guarded by the southern king of Jingguo.
As for Daqin, it also sent 300,000 troops, crossed the Han River from Nanjun, and inevitably encountered Xiong Ji of the Xizhu State who is now stationed in the area of Ganyukou.
Great Qin and Wu Chu formed an alliance, the covenant sent 1.1 million troops, in fact, there is still a lot of water added here, like the 300,000 out of Great Qin, at most only 50,000 are the army that is attacking the city and plundering the land, and most of the rest of the people and horses are subordinate or recruited people, and they are also counted among the soldiers, which is also in line with the old custom of "participating in the war is counted as soldiers" on both sides of the river.
In fact, perhaps it was the battle of Yingdu that year that made the Chu royal family frightened, this time not only to win over Great Qin and Wu as an alliance, but also to send envoys to win over many small vassal states, and even secretly contacted Yong and Ba in the southwest of Great Qin.
Of course, it is not yet known whether these princes are willing to participate in the alliance against Jing, and they can only wait for them to make decisions one after another, but at the latest, they should at least know before the alliance, and whether they participate in the alliance or not can actually know their attitude.
At the same time, getting the news that Xiong Ji sent troops to harass Nanjun Ruoguan also made Lin Yuyan quite annoyed, observing Xiong Ji's performance during this time, as well as the news that he fed back from the details, Lin Yuyan was basically convinced that this Xiong Ji of the Xizhu Kingdom of Jing Country was simply a wolf, and he couldn't let him smell the slightest smell of blood, otherwise he would let this hungry wolf pounce without hesitation.
Of course, correspondingly, the reason why this greedy Jing State Xizhu State has been able to survive to this day is also a testament to his ability to govern the army and lead the army quite well.
In fact, it did not disappoint Lin Yuyan, but the next news also made Lin Yuyan thunderous, and Xiong Ji, who had rested for half a month, brazenly bypassed Ruoguan when the autumn grain of Nanjun under the rule of Daqin was in the warehouse, and led troops to attack several heavy counties north of Ruoguan on mountain roads, killing many civilians, and burning all the grain that could not be taken away.
And Ming Zifu also gave the loss after Xiong Ji's raid...... A full 200,000 stone of grain and grass!
