Chapter 57 Love! Liu Xiang assists Yan
When Li Mu heard what Zhao Cong and Liu Xiang said, he felt that what these two people said made sense, but Li Mu knew that at this time, the Qin army was about to attack Zhao and had no extra strength to attack Yan. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"General, now the Qin army is withdrawing its troops to the west, it is the time to attack Yan, the Yan army has just defeated the Xiongnu, and most of its main forces are distributed in the north gate of Yan, Yanshan and Liaodong hundreds of miles, if at this time, Yan can not only capture the area that we have been arguing with Yan, but also attack the hinterland of Yan in one fell swoop, eliminate Yan and expand its territory, the last general is not willing to raise 50,000 troops and horses to attack Yan north," Zhao Cong General Li Mu did not speak and asked forward.
"General, although the Yan State defeated the Xiongnu miserably, there are still more than 300,000 of its living forces, and the elite infantry cavalry left by Ji Jiao in the west to garrison is also more than 50,000, and the main force of the Yan army in the north and Liaodong can reach the east in a few hours, so the last general thinks that our army will not be able to win this time against Yan, and I hope that the general will think twice" Liu Xiang was afraid that Li Muzhen would send troops to attack Yan and hurriedly dissuaded.
Li Mu pondered for a while, thought about the current situation, and said to himself in a low voice: "Now that we have just won, our morale has increased greatly, and although the Yan Kingdom is better than the Xiongnu, it has suffered heavy losses, and now it is time to deal with the old entanglements that the ancestors have not resolved."
"Okay, since General Zhao took the initiative to invite Yinghua Yan, then I will give you 70,000 infantry troops and 30,000 cavalry troops, and you will be the main generals Gao Huan and Sima Shang as the deputy generals to attack Yan in the east, but you must remember that if you encounter strong troops to block you, you must retreat calmly and retain your troops," Li Mu immediately took out an arrow engraved with cinnabar color from the bamboo tube on the desk and handed it to Zhao Cong and instructed.
Liu Xiang heard that he wanted to say something more to dissuade him, but was stopped by Li Mu's gesture, and Liu Xiang had no choice but to go back to his camp to think about the next countermeasures.
At this time, Lu Lian and other generals had already gone out to collect grain and grass, and the entire general's tent was empty, as if the sound of the wind could be heard, Liu Xiang sat on the chair alone and closed his eyes and pondered, at this time Jiang Chen walked in and saw Liu Xiang frowning and expressionless on his face, so he guessed what Liu Xiang was thinking in his heart, and walked over and said.
"What you are worried about is that the general sent Zhao Cong to lead 100,000 troops to fight Yan"
"Exactly, you were there during today's debate, why didn't you help me stop the general?"
"I think the general has long had the heart to cut Yan, and it's useless to say it, so why bother talking"
"I heard that the king of Yan will transfer all the army to resist the Xiongnu, the troops stationed in the east are not even 30,000 people and most of them are old and weak, now the general sent Zhao Cong to lead 60,000 troops to attack Yan, the king of Zhao has long been troubled by some old entanglements with Yan, if these soldiers and horses break through the defense line of the east gate of Yan will be able to penetrate into Yan, King Zhao will definitely raise a large army to attack Yan, with the strength of Yan can not resist the Zhao army, and Xu Yao, Wen Yi, Zhang Yu three people are in Yan country, when the whole territory of Yan country jade will be burned I am afraid that they will miss their lives"
"It turns out that the eldest brother wants to save Yan for the sake of brothers, this is love and righteousness, not righteousness, what I want to save Yan is for the sake of Li Min, save Yan and use his strength to weaken Qin, but I have already thought of a way to deal with it when the Chinese army was in the big tent just now."
Liu Xiang was overjoyed when he heard that Jiang Chen had already thought of a countermeasure, and asked closely, Jiang Chen said it one by one, Liu Xiang suddenly realized that he immediately knew what to do, and hurriedly sent Lu Yi to the east of Yan to spread the news that the Zhao army was about to cut down Yan.
At the same time, in the east of Yan Kingdom, a young general was sitting in the tent of the Chinese army, and saw a general wearing an iron crown and leather armor walk in and said: "Congratulations to General Wen for taking over the troops and horses of the eastern garrison just after paying homage to the general, and below is Wang Xu, the general in charge of the army here."
"Wang Zhangjun, I have heard that you are a powerful henchman under the Marquis of Wu'an, and today I was ordered by the king to lead the eastern garrison, and I will ask you how many of the eastern garrisons there are," the general asked.
It turned out that this person was Wen Yi, and a few days ago he stayed in Liaodong after Ji Jiao led the army to conquer the Xiongnu, so King Yan sent Wen Yi, who had just been named a marquis, to lead the troops and horses to garrison the eastern border.
"General, before the departure of the Marquis of Wu'an, it was the invasion of the Xiongnu, so the Marquis of Wu'an took away most of the men and horses, and now there are about 30,000 foot cavalry in the entire eastern border and 10,000 troops are stationed in Xiawu, Quyi, Yangcheng, and Sanqiu" Wang Xu informed Wen Yi of the situation of the garrison forces in the entire eastern border.
Wen Yi didn't say anything and walked out of the tent to inspect the camps, and after a while, Wen Yi walked in again and said to Wang Xu: "I just saw that most of the sergeants are old and weak, and there are many wounded soldiers, and then look at the thin skin and bones of those war horses, and the spears in the hands of the soldiers are mostly damaged, swords, shields, and rust, when I was in Jicheng, Hou Ye personally told me that this is the most elite soldiers and horses in the east of Yan Kingdom, is it possible that these elites were all taken away by Hou Ye."
Before Wang Xu could answer, there was a sudden noise outside the account, only to see several sergeants holding steel knives and escorting a person, led by the lieutenant to Wen Yi and said: "General Qiyu, this person was sneaking around in the camp just now, most of them were the work of the empire, and he injured two brothers when we captured him."
Wen Yi walked in and saw that this person was none other than Lu Yi, and hurriedly shielded everyone and said to Lu Yi: "Lu Yi, how could it be you, didn't you follow Liu Xiang in Zhao Kingdom."
Lu Yi told Wen Yi the purpose of this visit, Wen Yi knew very well the strength and specific situation of the eastern garrison, and his face unconsciously showed a trace of worry, and Lu Yi informed Wen Yi of the strategy given by Jiang Chen, and Wen Yi turned his worries into joy, so he ordered the generals to prepare for it
Wen Yi also called Wang Xu to send him to Jicheng to report Zhao Guo's imminent attack on Yan and the strategy to deal with it, Wang Xu could not enter the court because of the small officials, so he had to seek help from others, but learned that all the ministers who had dealings with him before in the court were sent to the north and Liaodong.
Wang Xu had no choice but to think of Prince Yan Dan so he came to visit, just arrived at the gate of the prince's mansion compound was stopped by the guards, Wang Xu had learned that the prince was in the mansion and said loudly: "I am Wang Xu of the Eastern Border Soldiers and Horses, and I want to see the prince convey the matter about the lives and deaths of hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Yan Kingdom."
When the prince heard this, he hurriedly walked out of the mansion and said to him: "Since the general is in charge of the army in the eastern territory, there must be an urgent military situation in his belly, please go to the mansion to explain."
Wang Xu followed the prince Dan to the mansion, and then told Wen Yi what he ordered: "Zhao general Li Mu has just repelled the Qin army, and now he urgently sends more than 100,000 troops to fight Yan, and the garrison in the east of our country is only 30,000 and most of them are old and weak, but the prince is assured that the main general of our army, Wen Yi, has already had a strategy to deal with, and the last general wanted to report this matter and strategy to the king, but he couldn't help the petty officials to enter the court, so he came to find the prince."
After hearing this, Prince Dan of Yan knew that the matter was urgent, so he hurriedly led Wang Xu to see King Yan, Wang Xu saw Queen Yan report all the military information and Wen Yi's strategy, only to see that at this time, a silver-armored guard next to King Yan said: "Subordinate Wei Bing and Qin generals Huan Chong and Fei Ling are familiar with each other and ask for an envoy."
After the king of Yan agreed, he ordered Wei Bing to lead five dead soldiers to the camp of the Qin general Wang Peng in the starry night. To know how Wei Bing responded after seeing Huan Chong, please see the next breakdown.
