Chapter 959: Another Accident
"How many people are there in Zhao Jun?"
Chen Qi had a total of four sons, of which Chen Heng was the longest, followed by Chen Rei, Yiyi Chengtou, Chen Rei let the experienced veteran risk his death to go to the Zhao family's eastern front camp to reconnoitre, and got his reward. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Stoves are all over the mountains, and the number of people is no less than 30,000 or 40,000 ......"
"Thirty or forty thousand...... In this way, most of the soldiers from the Zhao family's Shandong counties came? ”
Chen Wei was a little worried, Yiyi was a fortress that the Chen clan had painstakingly operated for ten years, and there were also a lot of Qi troops concentrated here, and Gaotang, Dong'e, and Pingyin were each other's horns, but if they defended the city, it was enough to compete with the Zhao army.
But the other party is the Zhao family, if their craftsmen bring siege weapons, the fortified city may not be reliable.
However, for the Chen family, this is also good news, since the main force of the Zhao family in the east is here, it is impossible to transfer west to fight Qin and Wei, and the strategy of attacking the west and defending the east is initially realized, and the Qi State only needs to be patient and slowly contain the Zhao army.
……
"Have all the allied armies arrived?"
At the same time, Ma Ling, in the north of the Wei Kingdom, the camp of the Zhao family's eastern front, was appointed by Zhao Wuxian, and Post Wuzheng, who had full authority to command the three armies, sat on the marching bench and looked at the generals majestically.
The stool was originally used as a pedal for bedside or to get on the car, and was introduced into the army by Zhao Wuxian a few years ago as a portable field seat for marching. Most of the generals in his army were promoted from the ranks, and a group of military men didn't think there was anything wrong with sitting on a stool, so they continued to use it.
Of course, this thing still can't wait for the elegant hall.
He was nearly sixty years old, and he made great contributions in the key battles of the Battle of Liuqing. However, he was also wounded in that battle, and before the battle was over, he lay on the bow bag and vomited blood, and since then he has been a little unable to go on the expedition. In addition, he was overly sad because of Zhao Ying's death and was bedridden for a while, Zhao Wuxian understood him, and most likely let him hang up a high position and stay at home. This time there was another big war, Zhao Wuxian was in the west, and the east could not do without generals, so Post Wuzheng went out of the mountain again to lead the Zhao alliance against the Qi people.
The two major alliances in the Central Plains have been in full swing, and their respective troop deployments have been carried out for more than a month, Qin Wei in the west has been attacking all the way, so that the Han clan has no power to fight back, but the Qi State in the east has cautiously taken the defensive, and not a single soldier has crossed the border to attack Zhao, Lu, and Wei.
The Zhao clan can't leave the Qi people alone, after all, Hanoi and Hebei are the strategic rear of the Zhao clan, and there is no room for mistakes, and the best defense is to attack. Post Wuzheng set up his base camp in Maling, which is located in the north of the Wei Kingdom, across the Great River and the Hejian County of the Zhao Clan, where it is very convenient for the Zhao army and the Wei army to assemble, and dozens of miles ahead can reach Yiyi, which is controlled by the Qi State.
Post Wuzheng is famous for his good attack, and this time he showed a posture of leading the Eastern Front army to take Yiyi and recover the old land of the Jin Kingdom.
"The Qi people have been stealing Yiyi for more than ten years, it's time to take it back!"
He declared it to the outside world, which is also in line with the news deliberately revealed by Zhao Wuxian, but only a few people know that there seems to be tens of thousands of troops, and the Maling camp, which has a strong stove every day, is actually only 5,000 guards and less than 10,000 Zhao troops in Hejian......
In fact, the real main force of the Zhao army is slowly being transferred to the west of Taihang Mountain, and the east is just bluffing, as a gesture to attack the Qi State, so that the Qi people dare not act rashly.
Contrary to the strategy of first east and then west during the Liuqing Rebellion, because this time the Lu State was strong and prosperous, there was basically no need to worry about collapsing under the attack of the Qi State, while Qin and Wei instead became the vanguard of the anti-Zhao state, and had already invaded the Hedong of the Jin State.
However, this strategy cannot be carried out by relying only on the Zhao army of a county in Hejian, and must rely on the cooperation of allies. While holding back the main force, he also let his allies constantly harass him on his vast borders, so that the people of Qi can be left and right.
Now, in accordance with the spirit of the Taoqiu Alliance, Zhao Yi has sent troops to defend the country, although it is not much, but it is already the limit of the defense of the country. Ran Qiu of the Lu State led the army to be stationed in Yuncheng, and Ma Ling was the horn of each other, and there was an army of Lu soldiers who were transferred to the Jin State under the leadership of the thief to help defend Hanoi and Yecheng, which were empty after the main force left.
As for Zou and Ju, as well as the exiled soldiers of Qi, they all have their own tasks, and after the 5,000 people sent by Yan and Zhongshan in the north also arrive at the attack site, they can attack on multiple fronts and carry out the attack strategy of making the Qi people set fire in all directions.
But You Wuzheng has been waiting in Maling for a few days, but Yan Guo and Zhongshan have not heard from each other, and it is not until this day that he knows that there has been an accident in the north: Yan Guo and Zhongshan do not know what kind of wind is being smoked, and the armies of the two countries have not yet gone abroad, and they have fought each other......
……
"Yan and Zhongshan attacked each other, Yan said that Zhongshan had taken refuge in the Qi people, and Zhongshan said that Yan had taken refuge in the Qi people, and they both wanted to attack themselves, and then joined Lian Heng against the Zhao family...... It's really a farce on a snail's horn, Wang Sun, who do you think is telling the truth? ”
Zhao Wuxian unceremoniously threw the reasons for the statements of the two countries on the case, and turned to Wang Sunsheng to ask.
After Wang Sunsheng conquered the Tiger Prison, his career in the Zhao clan finally began to be smooth, and he gradually rose to the position of deputy general, and he also learned the art of war with Sun Wu, so he knew the way of truth and fiction, so he responded: "It's all true, and it's all false." “
"What do you mean by that?"
"Yan people and Zhongshan are forced to obey the Zhao family, since Shangqing has successively divided the small sect to Wei and Zou to replace the Qing clan to govern, causing some princes to be uneasy, Yan and Zhongshan are no exception, Qi Chen in order to get rid of the situation of being trapped by the Zhao family, do everything, since they can lobby Qin and Wei, they must have greeted Yan and Zhongshan and lured them to join Lianheng."
"But Yan and Zhongshan are self-aware, Yan lives in the bitter cold land of the north, far away from the disputes of the princes, and the cavalry of the land can reach its capital in ten days, and they dare not rebel against Zhao. As for Zhongshan, being surrounded by the Zhao clan and the Yan State on all sides, rashly opposing Zhao would make themselves the target of public criticism, and they would not dare to betray Zhao. At the same time, the two countries were wary of each other, and once there was a stir, they thought that the enemy country was trying to plot against them, so they insisted that the other party would make the first move, so that there was an excuse to crusade, and this was the farce of today. ”
Wang Sunsheng's analysis is reasonable, it is useless for Zhao Wuxian to order him to stop now, he can only let Yan and Zhongshan consume themselves there for a while, and then clean them up after the war.
But in this way, he originally only planned to let the various allied armies help him drag the Qi people, but it could not be perfectly realized, at least the northern border of the Qi country was not in danger.
The current situation has been somewhat unfavorable to the Zhao family, first of all, the Song State sent an envoy to apologize, saying that on the way back to the country, he didn't know whether he was unaccustomed to the water and soil or ate the wrong thing, and suddenly became ill, and Nanzi was also unwell and could not come forward to manage the government. For a time, the power of the Song State began to appear, and the country was unstable, and it was impossible to send troops to support the Zhao family.
This means that Zheng Guo woke up from Song's containment and began to attack the Han and Zhao clans, showing their amazing combat capabilities.
In this regard, Zhao Wuxian had already quickly sent a doctor to the Song Kingdom, and at this time, the head of the Le family must not fall. At the same time, he also had to leave part of his army in Hanoi to prevent the Zheng people from taking risks and crossing the river to the north.
Secondly, the mutual attack of Yan and Zhongshan caused great harm to the entire alliance, and the loss of two new forces broke the established plan of the Eastern Front. The soldiers of Hejian County were transferred to contain the Qi people, and the troops of Dongyang County and Dai County were also partially transferred to the west, and these two mad dogs bit each other, and Zhao Wuxian couldn't control it for the time being.
In the end, it was the most imminent, the Qin State and the Wei Clan were advancing all the way, they had already occupied many of the Han Clan's Hedong cities, stationed in various cities, and more and more people were transferred from Hexi, and the next step was probably to besiege Xinjiang.
For a time, the anti-Zhao forces within the Jin State were ready to move, and the remnants of Zhi, Fan, and Bank of China, they poured out from the dark corners, spreading dissatisfaction with Zhao Wuxian, spreading panic and unease.
Under these circumstances, Zhao Wuxian resolutely made a decision.
"In any case, the battle on the Western Front determines the outcome of the victory and defeat, and it cannot be shaken."
……
By deceiving the enemy by showing his form, and inducing him to expose his intentions, without revealing his own traces and making the enemy unpredictable, he will be able to concentrate his forces and scatter the enemy's forces; If our forces are concentrated in one place and the enemy's forces are scattered in 10 places, we will be able to strike at the enemy with 10 times the strength of the enemy, and we will be able to defeat the enemy with 10 times the strength of the enemy......
This is the "virtual reality" in Sun Tzu's Art of War, the real master of strategy, fighting a battle of more and bullying less, Zhao Wuxian is no exception this time, the external propaganda is to fight against the east and west at the same time, together to eliminate Qi Qin, in fact, the army east of Taihang after the end of the spring ploughing all transferred west, from the various passes of the Taihang Mountains to Shanxi, to prepare for Zhao Wuxian's general offensive on the western front.
But now, it's time to make some changes, Zhao Wuxian ordered Wang Sun Shengming.
"You immediately commanded 3,000 men to Wen County to join the Lu army commanded by Liu Xiajiao. With a crowd of 15,000 people, you crossed the river from Mengjin, borrowed the road to become Zhou, attacked the land of Yiluo, eliminated the army of the Zheng people's western expedition, lifted the siege of the Han clan, and then entered the fortress of the peach forest, waiting for the next order! ”
Wang Sunsheng knew that this was another opportunity to make a great contribution, and took the order to go. Attacking it unprepared, Zheng Guoren would definitely not have imagined that when the situation in Hedong was so urgent, there would be a Zhao army that would be killed from Cheng Zhou.
What makes him even more excited is the next step after achieving this strategic goal.
As far as he knew, after the Zhao clan lured the main forces of Qin and Wei into Hedong, they had already dispatched and arranged nearly 100,000 troops to entertain them, and in addition, the cavalry of Daijun also quietly moved south in January, and after making a circle outside the Saiwai, they had arrived at Shangjun, behind the spine of the Qin-Wei coalition army......
As Sun Tzu said, since there are accidents everywhere in the battle, Zhao Wuxian also intends to surprise the enemy.
However, the accident did not stop, not long after Wang Sunsheng was ordered to go south, another Chu native Shi Qi also hurried over, he forcibly suppressed the joy in his heart, put on a serious face, and said this and this in Zhao Wuxian's ear.
"Got it." Zhao Wuxian's expression on his face did not change much, and after continuing to discuss the strategy with his retainers, he turned around and said lightly to his Yulin guard, "Transfer Yulin Guard and surround Tongyu Palace!" ”
