One hundred and thirty-seven strong reinforcements
[3Qโ รท โ .], wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
After listening to the dispute between Qu Yuan and Ping Ao, Xiong Lu thought about it for a while and made a choice.
"The Song State has more than 100,000 troops, and if you want to annihilate it in one go, you must dispatch more than 200,000 soldiers.
Xiong Lu has his own reasons for doing this, although Xiang Yu has shown extraordinary ability to command the army, and his martial arts are unparalleled in the world, but Xiang Yan, Xiang Liang and his son have already worshiped the general and the lieutenant general, if Xiang Yu is promoted again, the Xiang family is really powerful.
As a far-sighted male lord, Xiong Lu naturally would not let such a thing happen, and would not let the Xiang clan stand out and threaten the Xiong clan's dominance in the Chu State. No matter how good Xiang Yu's ability to command troops is, he can only be sacrificed!
There is a plan in Xiong Lu's heart, and he can only wait for Xiang Yan to return to the field or reuse Xiang Yu after his death, step by step, and there must not be a situation where the three ancestors and grandchildren are in charge of the same power and have high achievements.
Listening to Xiong Couple's words, Xiang Yu felt extremely bitter in his heart, and his face could not hide the disappointment.
He is so eager to make meritorious achievements, and use his achievements in pacifying the Song State to establish his reputation, and prove to the people of the world that he is not a brave and unscrupulous martial artist, but a commander who can write and martial arts.
For this reason, Xiang Yu has worked hard to train soldiers and horses in the past year, and has been teaching his soldiers martial arts day and night with Ji Bu, Zhong Liwu, Yu Ziqi and others, and improving their ability to fight on the battlefield, in order to be able to serve as the main general of the Song Dynasty.
And now, the bear couple has dashed Xiang Yu's hopes with just one sentence and wiped out Xiang Yu's efforts in the past year, which makes Xiang Yu deeply disappointed, and even indignant and dissatisfied, only hating the uselessness of heroes.
Xiang Yu is young and the city government is still shallow, but Xiang Yan has been immersed in the court for decades, and when he heard the decision of the Xiong couple, he immediately came out to support it: "What the lord said is extremely true, Yu He is young and reckless, how can he be responsible for this heavy responsibility?" If you want to successfully destroy the Song Dynasty, you need to send a respected general, if the lord does not dislike it, the minister is willing to ask the Song Dynasty to be defeated! โ
Xiong Lu was very satisfied with Xiang Yan's statement, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Xiang Qing is my number one general in Great Chu, and your responsibility in the future is to fight against Qi and Qin, why should Xiang Qing personally go out in a small Song State!" โ
Xiong Lu said and swept to Xiang Liang and Dou Bobi: "The widow decided to appoint Xiang Liang and Dou Bobi to each command 100,000 horses, march on two roads, conquer Shangqiu, and level the Song Kingdom, I don't know if you two can be confident?" โ
Xiang Liang and Dou Bobi came out together, clasped their fists and led the order: "The minister obeys the edict, this will go to the Song Dynasty, and he will definitely live up to his mission!" โ
Only then did Xiong Lu set his eyes on Xiang Yu: "Although Xiang Yu is still inexperienced, he is brave and good at fighting, he can serve as Uncle Ling's vanguard, exercise his ability, and become a pillar of the country in the future!" โ
"Obey the edict!" Xiang Yu endured the unhappiness in his heart and went out to receive the order.
After the arrangements were completed, Baili Xi came out of the line with a wat board and went to the ground: "My lord, the minister received a letter from the Tang Duke Fang Li yesterday, saying that Wei and Jin jointly attacked Tang and dispatched as many as 300,000 troops. The Tang State was in danger, so he asked the old minister to ask the lord for help and send troops to aid the Tang Dynasty. โ
Xiong Lu twisted his beard and said, "Tang State is also our ally, but is it worth it to fight Wei and Jin for the sake of Tang State?" Ladies and gentlemen, please share your views. โ
At present, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty expressed their opinions, and some people supported the aid to Tang, on the grounds that the enemies of Chu State were the powerful Qin State in addition to Wu and Song, and the ally was only one Lu State, which was obviously not enough.
If it competes with Qin for hegemony in the future, the geographical location of Tang can play a good role as a horn, effectively helping Chu to contain Qin and reduce the pressure on the Chu army.
Others were opposed, feeling that because a newly rising Tang State had offended the powerful Jin and Wei powers, some of the gains outweighed the losses, and it was not appropriate to make strong enemies in the case of enmity with Song, Wu, and Qin.
The two voices were noisy and evenly divided, and no one could convince anyone, and in the end, it was left to the bear couple to decide.
Xiong slightly closed his eyes, stroked his beard and said: "The widow thinks that if you want to dominate the world and balance the Qin State, you must support a reliable and obedient ally in the Central Plains and have a certain strength, and the Tang State is very suitable for this condition." Although Jin and Wei are strong, they are far away from our Great Chu, and when we destroy Song and Wu, there will be only one strong enemy left in Qin, so there is no need to be afraid of Jin and Wei. The widow thinks that he can send troops to aid Tang! โ
Baili Xi couldn't help but burst into tears when he heard this, knelt on the ground and bowed: "Thank you for the great kindness of the lord, and thank the lord for his rescue on behalf of the people of Yu Country here." โ
"Baili Aiqing is flat!"
Xiong Liang greeted Baili Xi with a smile, and did not forget to sell his affection, "The reason why the widow decided to send troops to aid Tang is also for your face." In the future, you will do your best to bless our people in Dachu. โ
"The minister must do his best, and he will be dull, although he will die, he will not complain!" Baili Xi still kowtowed.
Xiong Lu set his eyes on Tang Yu and Yang Youji: "Wei and Jin dispatched 300,000 soldiers and horses, and it will not work if the troops to aid Tang are too small, so the widow has decided to allocate 100,000 soldiers and horses to the north to aid Tang and set off as soon as possible." But the two of you must remember that this should be based on solidarity, and try to avoid a head-on confrontation with Wei and Jin to reduce losses. โ
Tang Yu and Yang Youji went out together to receive the order: "The minister obeys the edict!" โ
After the early dynasty dispersed, the generals each dispatched troops according to the instructions, and the land of Chu was shouting for a while, the wind and clouds changed color, and the flags were unfurled, covering the sky and the sun.
Xiang Liang and Dou Bobi each led 100,000 soldiers and horses to leave Yingdu and kill the Song State, which was located in the northeast of Chu State. And Tang Mo and Yang Yuji need to gather some troops from all over the country, so they can only send troops the day after tomorrow. Yingdu is the capital of the Chu State, and the troops must not be too empty, so as not to give the Qin State an opportunity.
Watching the mighty northward march of the Chu army, the banners covering the sky, the dazzling swords and guns made the sun and the moon change color, and the dense footsteps made the earth tremble.
Seeing this, Ma Pi and Jian Kuai, who had been waiting for news in Yingdu, sighed: "The State of Chu is really worthy of being one of the few great powers in the world, and even though it has dispatched 300,000 troops at once, it still has as many as 250,000 to guard the territory. This strength is really breathtaking, and if you don't accept it, you can't accept it! If one day, our Tang Kingdom can be so strong, why do we need to ask other countries for help? โ
Knowing that Chu decided to send troops to aid Tang, Yu Miaoge couldn't help but burst into tears. Fortunately, the elder brother did not mention the matter of marrying Xiang Yu again, so he expected that the matter of sending troops was definitely not the energy of the Yuzi period, and nine times out of ten, there were big people who persuaded Chu Gong to send troops.
Yu Ziqi had already followed Xiang Yu north to attack the Song Dynasty, and he didn't even bother to say goodbye to Yu Miaoge before leaving, which made Yu Miaoge a little sad, and he didn't want the relationship between brother and sister to deteriorate further, and he could only temporarily restrain the other party's thoughts of leaving.
Two days later, Tang ordered Youji to be the vanguard, raised 100,000 troops to leave Yingdu to aid Tang, and planned to go north from Xiangyang to Wancheng and then to Xingyang, cross the Yellow River from Xiajin Ferry to the north to Pinglu to participate in the war. The whole journey is about 1,000 miles, and it is expected to take about 10 days of marching.
"That's right, there are 100,000 reinforcements entering the country, why worry about Wei Jin not retreating!"
Looking at the mighty Chu army, Ma Pi and Jian Kuaiju were excited, feeling that Chu was much more righteous than South Korea, and it would be reliable to find allies in the future, and it would be many times stronger than a country like South Korea!
The two excitedly said goodbye to Yu Miaoge, left Yingdu with a letter, and hurried to embark on the journey back to the Tang Kingdom.
Just when the State of Chu sent troops to aid Tang, Han Hou Han Wu also received the news that Han Fei had been captured.
Although Han Wu was very jealous of Han Fei in his heart, afraid that he would threaten his position, but Han Fei's arrest would be equivalent to a slap in the face by the Wei people, and if he didn't say anything, he would not only be laughed at by the princes of the world, but also cause dissatisfaction among domestic public opinion.
After discussing with the ministers, Han Wu decided to use troops against the Wei State, and the general Storm Kite led 70,000 soldiers and horses to attack the Wei State Liang, nominally to claim back Han Fei, but in fact, it was to block the mouth of the world.
The good news came one after another, Fang Li was in a good mood, and in order to avoid losing his troops, he did not attack Yongcheng, which was occupied by Leyang, but camped under the city to confront him.
In order to alleviate the pressure on the trial of the stubborn defense of Pinglu, Fang Li ordered Zhao Yun and Gao Shun to lead 3,000 cavalry to bypass Yongcheng and harass the back of the Wei army, so that Pang Juan could not attack the city with all his strength.
The Tang army's strategy was extremely effective, and the three cavalry forces of Zhao Yun, Gao Shun, and Zhang Liao took turns to launch wheel battles against the Wei army, constantly attacking the back of the Wei army. Adopting the strategy of the enemy stationing and fighting us, and the enemy advancing and retreating, the disturbing Wei army was overwhelmed and could not attack the city with all its strength.
The morale of the soldiers and civilians who learned of the arrival of reinforcements was even higher, and their fighting spirit was high, and almost everyone participated in the battle, and all the people were soldiers. When the rolling stones and timbers in the city ran out, they demolished their houses, blocked the siege of the Wei army with bricks and adobes, and defended the ancient city of Pinglu with the fighting spirit of unity.
Knowing that Storm Kite led 70,000 Korean troops to attack Daliang, Pang Juan decided to give up the attack on Pinglu, and led his troops to the south to join Leyang, striving for a decisive battle with the main force of the Tang State in the wilderness, defeating the main force of the Tang army in one fell swoop, and finishing his work in one battle.
"The Wei army has retreated, the Wei army has retreated!"
"We won, Pinglu saved!"
Seeing the Wei army moving southward in general and drifting away, there was thunder of joy on the Pinglu city wall, and the soldiers and civilians with soot on their faces raised their arms and shouted, and even cried with joy.
Standing on the city wall with his wounds bandaged, his face was still solemn, and he said to Ji Ling and Liao Hua: "The Wei army just gave up attacking Pinglu, the war is not over, and it is not time to celebrate." The Jin army attacked Jiangguan and Chiyang very urgently, and it was necessary to divide troops to rescue. โ
The trial sent people to contact Fang Li and Zhou Yu, and decided to order Zhang Liao to lead 3,000 cavalry from his headquarters to return to Chiyang to assist Liyi to defend the pass, and ordered Ji Ling to lead 4,000 people to rush to Jiangguan to assist Yingbu and Yan Liang to resist the attack of the Jin army.
We must guard the north gate gate and not let the Jin army break into the territory, otherwise the Jin army's iron cavalry will be raging like a flood. Pinglu is handed over to the trial and Liaohua defense, and must not be careless, and must always be on guard against Pang Juan's comeback.
Zhao Yun and Gao Shun each led the cavalry back to the camp, nearly 50,000 Tang troops retreated twenty miles back and set up camp, Fang Li was in the west Zhou Yu in the east, the two camps were horns for each other, waiting for the Wei army led by Pang Juan to attack.
