Chapter 049: Fighting on two fronts

β€”β€”

In the tent, the kings of the Three Kingdoms and the generals of their coalition forces looked at the young Wei Yi one after another. The latter glanced at Wei Zheng with the afterglow of his eyes, and saw the king's encouraging gaze couldn't help but make his heart slightly hot, this gaze was to tell him that he was not suspicious of employing people, and he didn't need to be suspicious, since he asked you to take command of the expedition, there would be no objection, with Wei Zheng's unwavering support and unreserved trust behind him, Wei Yi thought for a long time and pointed to the sand table map, and said:

"I've decided to divide my troops into two ways." After speaking, Wei Yi looked at Zhao Yong: "The foreign minister remembers that the Hu tribe of King Zhao's Northern Expedition has pacified the Lin Hu and Lou Fu tribes, and set up counties in Yunzhong and Jiuyuan, and since then the Yinshan area in northern Xinjiang has been included in the territory of Zhao State. ”

"Not bad!" Zhao Yonglang smiled and nodded, since King Zhao Wuling ascended the throne, he destroyed the Zhongshan Kingdom, pacified the north, and expanded the territory for the Zhao State for thousands of miles.

Lian Po asked curiously: "Why do you want to divide the troops into two ways?" ”

King Zhao Wuling also asked, "How to divide it?" ”

"King Zhao, please take a look...... Wei Yu suddenly stretched out his hand towards the sand table map and asked: "My coalition army has 400,000 soldiers and horses, as for the Qin State, according to my opinion, the strength of the country will gather at most 200,000 troops to garrison, and the number of troops of our Three Jin Coalition Army is bound to occupy an absolute advantage." But the Qin State sits in Guanzhong, and there are Hangu and Kunsai in the east, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack. It can be said that one man is responsible for the key and ten thousand people are not open, no matter how many troops are involved, it is difficult to deploy, and 400,000 and 200,000 are actually about the same, so it is inevitable to find another way. ”

After a pause, he moistened his voice and continued: "Wei Yi has been running through the founding of Qin, starting in Longxi, the Qin people are a vassal state that started with Rong Di, backed by Longxi, who is good at horse warfare, since the large-scale formation of cavalry troops in our Wang Cheng's formation, especially the destruction of Sima Coo's 100,000 Qin army in the first battle of Yangshan, our cavalry has played a vital role, and the Qin State has begun to attach importance to the large-scale formation of cavalry troops since then, if I am not mistaken, now the cavalry of the Qin army does not have 100,000, but also 780,000. ”

Speaking of this, Wei Yi bowed his hand to King Wuling of Zhao and said: "The foreign minister respectfully asks King Zhao to command the cavalry corps of 100,000 Zhao troops to march north into Jiuyuan, starting from Jiuyuan and going deep to the south, and driving straight in. King Zhao, please look at the land west of the river, if 100,000 Zhao army iron horsemen gallop south from Jiuyuan to Xianyang, then they can form a Taishan top of the Qin State, Jiuyuan to Xianyang line all the way to the smooth road, can let King Zhao's 100,000 cavalry gallop wantonly. ”

The monarchs and ministers of Zhao State all looked at the location of the map pointed by Wei Yi, and the latter's eyes lit up, his spirit was greatly lifted, and he struck with both fists, and said: "In this way, the Qin army will inevitably suffer from the enemy on its back, and it will inevitably divide its troops to block the cavalry of King Zhao. ”

When King Zhao Wuling heard this, he roughly guessed Wei Yu's strategic intentions: "What does the general mean to lead the cavalry troops to contain the cavalry troops of the Qin army?" ”

"Exactly!" Wei Yi nodded without hesitation: "Only the cavalry can contain the cavalry, the Qin army's fiasco in the battle of Yangshan will inevitably not fall in the same place for the second time, King Zhao's cavalry restrained the Qin cavalry, not to mention the total annihilation, at least it can not rush to the east to help, then our guard army still has 50,000 elite cavalry troops in the face of the Qin army's foot soldiers are absolutely invincible, and the wolf enters the flock, as long as the enemy army is defeated, this 5,000 iron cavalry will immediately go out to harvest the battlefield, so that the Qin army will be defeated in a battle, and there will be no organized remnants of the army to resist for the second time." ”

"That's a great idea." Lian Po clapped his legs and applauded, "In this way, my 100,000 Zhao army iron cavalry from Jiuyuan down to Xianyang, the Qin army will inevitably fall into a dilemma, the number of Qin cavalry is not as good as my Zhao army's iron cavalry, if the division of troops to block the 50,000 iron cavalry of the guard, then my king's 100,000 iron cavalry will defeat the Qin cavalry, Xianyang is not defended, and the Qin country is in danger." If you don't divide your troops, then your country's 50,000 iron horsemen can reap the battlefield with impunity, wonderfulβ€”"

King Zhao Wuling was in high spirits, and said on the spot: "Okay! According to the general's plan, this prince led 100,000 iron horsemen of my Zhao State to the north into Jiuyuan, and looked at Xianyang. ”

"Then there will be King Lao Zhao!" Wei Yi bowed his hand and said, this 100,000 cavalry troops of Zhao State are personally commanded by Zhao Yong, Wei Yi can put 10,000 hearts, King Zhao Wuling has passed through the northern land for nearly ten years, and no one knows better than him in the clouds and the land of the Nine Plains in the Yin Mountain.

Zhao Yong didn't drag the mud and water in the slightest, Wei Yi couldn't wait to take his cavalry to the north as soon as he made his strategic intentions, and then Wei Yi hurriedly stopped Zhao Yong, who was leaving: "King Zhao, slow down!" ”

"What else does the Admiral have to say?" Zhao Yonghu turned back suspiciously, and Wei Yi suddenly said: "I remember that when the Yiqu Kingdom was destroyed by Qin, although the King of Yiqu was dead, there were two sons still alive under his knees. ”

"Let the Yiqu people cause chaos to the Qin State, and have a good plan. The general has a heart, and the king remembers. Zhao Yong nodded, bowed to Wei Zheng and Han Wang and left the tent. A group of Zhao generals in the tent glanced at Wei Yu deeply, but the latter did not shy away from smiling, in the eyes of Lian Po and others, this young commander-in-chief of the three armies, his intentions can be described as vicious, he is really unscrupulous for victory, but all the tricks that can be used are unambiguous.

It is no wonder that King Wei would appoint such a young general as the supreme commander of this joint expedition against Qin, and now it seems that Wei Yi must have his own merits.

"Everything has been taken care of, and there is no need for the widow to stay in this Luoyang City." As soon as Zhao Yong left, Wei Zheng should also leave, and immediately looked at Wei Yi and said: "The front line will be handed over to the general, and the widow will return to Chaoge, there is a Qi country in my backyard, you have to guard against it." ”

"This king should also go, I wish the general a victory, and this king will wait for the good news of the three armies in Xinzheng!" Han Wang also said.

The generals of the three kingdoms, such as Lian Po, Storm Kite, and Wei Yi, immediately bowed their hands and said: "Congratulations to King Wei and King Han......"

The kings of the three kingdoms left one after another, and Wei Yi suddenly left the sand table map, and came to the commander's throne and stood up: "The generals listen to the order and raise the accountβ€”β€”"

Under the commander's order, the generals of the three kingdoms stood neatly, on the left was led by Lian Po and Le Yi, the main generals of Zhao State, this row was all composed of Zhao generals, and on the right was composed of generals such as Wei Guo and South Korea.

Wei Yi looked around at everyone, and his eyes finally fell on Lian Po, Le Yi and other Zhao generals, and said calmly: "Everyone here is above Wei Yi in age, and they have all made great achievements, and Wei Yi is not as good as the generals in terms of qualifications. However, Wei Yu was entrusted by the kings of Zhao and Han to guard his shoulders, and he was sincerely afraid, and he did not dare to slack off in the heavy burden. I also ask all the generals to work with one heart and one mind to defeat the enemy. ”

In the end, the generals did not say a word, and looked at each other.

After a while, he only heard the generals of the three kingdoms under his tent bow their hands to the young Wei Yi and said in unison: "We are all willing to obey the general's orders!" ”

Wei Wei for the first time as a commander, his heart is also excited, he knows that this battle is only allowed to win, not defeated, after the war is the day when his Wei Wei name is the day of the world, at this moment he has an inexplicable pride, only to see him said loudly: "Since the founding of Qin, only Wu Qi with his Wei Wushu broke through the Qin Han Valley Fortress, and no one has broken it for a hundred years, even if the rhino head led the five-nation alliance army to attack Qin, it was also defeated at the foot of Hangu Pass. ”

Lian Po and the others couldn't help but be surprised, was Wei Mi comparing himself to Wu Qi, a famous general who claimed to win the battle and conquer the battle?

"Today, I have a total of 400,000 troops in the three Jin, and this letter is ...... General Ben is bound to win! Wei Yi burst out with a fine light, and suddenly said to the generals: "Where is General Han's violent kite?" ”

The storm kite on the right suddenly came out and replied: "The last general is β€”β€”! ”

Wei Yi immediately said: "The first line of defense of the Qin army is Yiyang City, so pulling Yiyang is the first battle of our army, and Yiyang Casting Heavy City was originally the old capital of Korea, and now it is occupied by Qin. It is most suitable for the Korean army to recover the old capital led by General Storm Kite. The violent kite listened to the order, and the commander took you as the vanguard of the front army, and immediately pulled out the camp at dawn the next day, and led 80,000 Korean troops to Yiyang! ”

"The last general commands β€”β€”!" The tyrannical kite bowed, and immediately left the tent to order troops.

The next day, outside the suburbs of Luoyang City, the endless tent was gradually put away, and the place where the cavalry of the Zhao army camped was even more roaring and neighing, at this moment, the prince of Zhao Wuling led 100,000 iron horsemen to leave first, and the army rushed to the Jiuyuan station as soon as it was dispatched.

An hour later, the Han general Storm Kite took the lead with 80,000 Han troops and went straight to Yiyang City. The distance between this city and Luoyang City is only more than 60 miles, and the army of the Storm Kite has been dispatched, and it will be able to reach the foot of Yiyang City the next day.

According to the agreement finalized at the time of the Taihang Alliance, once the Yiyang City occupied by Qin was recovered, it would be assigned to South Korea, which was the old land of South Korea as a matter of course, although Wei Guo promised not to occupy an inch of land in this battle, but Yiyang City such a casting town categorically could not be assigned to Zhao State, to a weak South Korea is in line with the interests of Wei Guo, although Zhao State also covets this casting town, but can only sigh with admiration, as for fighting Yiyang City, the Han army is undoubtedly the most suitable.

It was Wei Yi who led the main force of more than 200,000 of the three Jin coalition forces to slow down, and after leaving Luoyang City, he camped in Yique, ten miles away.

When the news came, the merchants in Yiyang City panicked and retreated, and the people closed their homes one after another. 7110
