Chapter 146: Li Danghu
Li Guang, who was called General Fei by the Xiongnu in his previous life, has not shown such a great reputation in this life.
But this does not mean that Li Guang's status in the army is low, nor does it mean that Li Guang's strength will be weakened because of the title of a flying general.
In this battle, with Li Guang as the coach, I am afraid it will be more difficult to fight than imagined.
Seeing Xia Huan show a solemn look, Sun Qian on the side continued: "Li Guangjiu is in Jiuyuan, although his reputation is not big, but he is good at cavalry combat. Since he guarded Jiuyuan Yunzhong, the Xiongnu never dared to invade the Han State again. Li Guangjiu has been in the border for a long time, and this time the Han State has made him the commander-in-chief, and I am afraid that he will have the intention of falling him back into the Guannai. ”
Xia Huan waved his hand, but he didn't agree with Sun Qian's opinion.
"Han Shengzhao is a weak victory over the strong, even when he meets the Qi State. Therefore, if he wins, Li Guang's merit may not be great. However, defeat is the result of disgrace. ”
"So, the Han Emperor doesn't like Li Guang?"
"On the contrary, the Han Emperor should like Li Guang in his heart." Xia Huan shook his head again, "Moreover, the commander of this battle is none other than Li Guang." ”
Sun Qian thought for a moment and nodded.
After being silent for a while, Xia Huan cleaned up the unhappiness brought by Li Guang's name in his heart, and pretended to be relaxed: "However, Qi Guo is not easy to mess with. Qi is even more scheming than Li Guang, and it is enough for me to wait for a lunch to watch the guests. ”
"Whoa."
"By the way, in this battle, who is the commander of the 50,000 Han troops from Taiyuan?"
"It's not clear."
"Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one survive a hundred battles and find out quickly."
"Whoa!"
……
The initial battle between Zhao and Chu was unfavorable, which inevitably affected the morale of the army.
Thinking about the attack will not only not be effective, but will also reduce the morale of your own sergeants again and again.
When the 30,000 follow-up Han troops arrived, it would be the lowest point in the morale of the coalition forces.
Therefore, at Xia Huan's suggestion, Li Yan also suppressed the anxiety in his heart, held his troops still, and stuck to the city wall.
Similarly, due to the arrival of the Sanchuan Army, the vanguard of the 20,000 Han Army did not want to take Kan Yu like this.
For a moment, the two sides were at a stalemate.
Three days later, a big pole with the word "Li" re-emerged in the main camp of the Han army.
The reinforcements of the Han army have arrived......
"Your Highness, it has been found out that the Han army commanded 50,000 people, and it was Deputy Marshal Li Danghu." Not long after the Han army arrived, Sun Qian brought back the news.
"Li Danghu? Li Guang's eldest son? Xia Huan looked at Sun Qian and asked.
"Exactly."
Sun Qian's answer made Xia Huan fall into silence again.
Li Danghu, Li Guang's eldest son. It stands to reason that Li Danghu died young, but for some reason, he still lives to the present.
In this regard, Xia Huan didn't want to delve into anything, the official history had changed decades ago, and everything was possible.
For Li Danghu, Xia Huan doesn't have much impression. I only know that he is Li Guang's eldest son and the father of Li Ling later.
In this life, Li Danghu, as Li Guang's eldest son, never died young, so he must have been carefully taught by Li Guang.
Li Guangzhi has always been strict in the army, and Sima Qian even called him "self-defeating".
Since Li Guang dared to let Li Danghu lead an army of 50,000, presumably Li Danghu had this strength.
The most terrible thing about facing an opponent is not that he is strong, but that it is not clear at all how strong your opponent is.
"Can you find out the past of this Li Danghu?" Xia Huan looked at Sun Qian and asked.
In this regard, Sun Qian shook his head helplessly.
Since the First Battle of Linzi, Xia Huan has intended to cultivate him. even arranged for him to form Xia Huan's own intelligence network.
However, no matter how strong Sun Qian's strength is, no matter how Xia Huan supports him. It is obviously impossible to grasp the information of the world so quickly.
"Your Highness forgives your sins, Li Guang has lived on the side for a long time, and even the Han Kingdom itself doesn't know much about his affairs. As for Li Danghu, ......"
"Forget it......"
Xia Huan waved his hand, although he didn't report much hope, but he still had some regrets.
"Your Highness, with all due respect. Why don't you give him a try? "This time, it was not Xia Huan's subordinates who spoke, but Li Yan, the chief general of Zhao State.
"How do you try?" Xia Huan looked at Li Yan.
Li Yan's face stiffened slightly.
A few days ago, despite Xia Huan's opposition, he forcibly attacked the camp and was defeated by Lin Jueda, the pioneer of the Han army. Not to mention the loss of people, Zhao Jun's morale has fallen into a trough again.
Now, he admonished to try the Han army, so how should this soldier and horse come out?
"Your Highness, you also know that a few days ago, our Zhao army was newly defeated and its morale was low, and I am afraid that this battle is a little inadequate......
As soon as Li Yan's words fell, he attracted some contempt from Xia Huan's subordinates.
The Zhao army had already lost the battle and was demoralized. And the Han army was also stronger than the Sanchuan army. If the Sanchuan Army is also defeated, then the morale will really be irretrievable.
Li Yan, although he has the ability, he may not be so high.
Therefore, Li Yan, who felt that he was wrong, faced the contempt of everyone, his old face also turned red, lowered his head, and stopped talking.
All of a sudden, the scene fell into a dead silence again.
"Your Highness!" Perhaps because he couldn't stand such a heavy atmosphere, Chen Zhaoming stood up.
"The purpose of the Han army is to break through Kan Yu and threaten Handan. In this case, it is enough for us to respond to all changes with the same! ”
Xia Huan didn't speak, but looked at Yu Meng beside Chen Zhaoming.
"The last general thinks...... Feasible. Yu Meng thought for a while and nodded.
"At present, the morale of our army is not high, and if we can hold back the Han army and hit the morale of the Han army by relying on the siege of the city, it will be beneficial to our army. Moreover, there are many new soldiers in my Sanchuan army, and we can use the battle of the siege of the city to let them see blood. ”
"In that case, then it is decided." Xia Huan nodded, although this way of sticking to the city siege is not good-looking, it is also a method.
However, the Han army on the opposite side seemed to have no movement. There was such a tacit understanding between the two sides that not a single soldier was sent for five days.
You must know that although the Han army is about the same in number as the coalition army, its strength is very different.
Such a non-fighting appearance caused Xia Huan to feel furious. Only at that time, there were more reinforcements behind the Han army.
Fortunately, on the sixth day, there was finally a trace of movement in the Han army's barracks.
……
"Woo~~"
The long sound of the horn sounded in the early morning.
The Han army, which had closed the camp gate for five days, began to advance towards the city siege with roaring steps like a wild beast out of a cage.
In the phalanx, wells, food, and city vehicles were quickly set up.
"So, are you building these siege equipment?" Xia Huan secretly thought in his heart, "If that's the case, it's okay." ”
