Chapter 752: Wen Shui is surging
PS: It's inconvenient to travel outside the code.,It's a chapter today.,Try to have as much tomorrow.
The repetition of Yuyi was unexpected by Guoxia, who thought that leaving a thousand people would be able to watch the Meng family, but who knew that it would become such a situation, and when they came back to their senses, the Qi army was already in an extremely passive situation.
It guarded the fastest road to the north, and could also provide supplies for the Qi army along the way, but now it is all gone. It was impossible for Guoxia to temporarily attack the city, so he could only take a detour. This detour took an extra day's journey, and it was not until the third day that they finally arrived in Wenshui.
Wenshui is an important river in the western part of Lu country, flowing from northeast to southwest, almost across most of Lu country. Qi's centuries-long southern invasion pushed the Qilu border from the southern foot of Mount Tai to Wenshui, which also meant that as long as the river was crossed, Guoxia and tens of thousands of Qi troops could return to their own territory.
"The water is surging, the pedestrians are swaying, the road is swinging, and the children are swimming. We're finally back here. ”
Gao Wupi almost burst into tears when he saw the clear Wenshui River, this Gao prince felt that it was not easy to be a military general for the first time, and he couldn't help but smile on his face when he thought that he would be able to go home soon. But Guo Xia didn't smile at all, he always had hidden worries in his heart, and looked back from time to time.
It was May and June, and the water flow in this area was turbulent, and the central position could not even be overhead, and it was unrealistic for the whole army to swim in the water. Gongzi Yangsheng had to command the soldiers to build a pontoon bridge, but because the ships left by the Qi army on the shore were burned clean by the Zhao light cavalry who arrived first, the pontoon bridge was built very slowly, and it was not erected until the Qi army arrived on the shore one after another, and the news of being harassed came from time to time on the periphery of the army.
At this moment, what Guo Xia was worried about finally happened, and his cronies hurriedly came to report that the Zhao family's army had arrived ten miles away!
……
"The Qi army has bypassed Yuyi, and is about to cross Wenshui at this time!" Yu Xi finally met with Zhao Wuxian's forward, and after a face-to-face, he hurriedly reported the enemy situation.
The Zhao and Song coalition forces led by Zhao Wuxian rushed for several days in a row, and the soldiers were already very tired, but when they heard that the Qi army was in front, they were all in good spirits, and many people breathed a sigh of relief and scolded with a smile: "I finally caught up!" ”
For a time, everyone asked for battle, asking to assault the Qi army, and they finished their work in one battle.
Tian Ben, who had already joined Zhao Wuxian's department, had already put on his armor, and he shouted hurriedly: "The Qi people are worthy of many defeats, and their master will flee very quickly, I waited for two days to chase him before finally catching up, if it slows down a little at this time, in case they escape across the river, I am afraid that I will not be able to catch up!" ”
Kan Zhi cautiously suggested: "Wenshui is wide and turbulent, there are tens of thousands of people in the summer of the country, and there is a lack of things to cross the river, so it is difficult to cross quickly. What's more, there are light horsemen harassing on the side, so that the Qi people can't cross the river with peace of mind, I think he can't escape, if we chase him with light enemies, I'm afraid there will be unforeseen things. ”
Tian Ben was not convinced: "You are not a general, and you have never personally commanded the army, what do you understand?" ”
"You!"
"Enough!" Zhao Wuxian stopped the quarrel between the two, he is a cautious person, from Yu Xi's report, it can be seen that Guoxia is a cautious person who knows the soldiers, although he is now in a dead place, but the strength of the Qi army still exists, and if he is not careful, he will be overturned.
So he motioned to the generals to calm down and said, "The Qi army retreated north, trapped in the south of Wenshui, and this poor man is also. As the saying goes, 'trapped beasts are still fighting, let alone people'? My words make sense, and Tian Ben is not wrong, in this way, the cavalry and the light soldiers will attack and harass on the left and right, and the army will first line up the whole army, and then drive over, directly forcing the enemy into the water, so that they have no room to array! ”
The plan was agreed, Zhao Wuxian asked everyone to wait strictly, and moved forward in turn, and after the generals were ordered to leave, Kan Zhi stayed, and saluted Zhao Wuxian: "Your Majesty has another sentence, and I don't know whether to say it or not." ”
Wuxian smiled and said, "The admonition is not guilty, you just say it." ”
"As the lord said, this battle is the last battle in the East, and although the Zhao clan will win, I am afraid that it will suffer heavy losses. In fact, from the point of view of the servants, there is no need for the Zhao family and Guoxia to fight to the death......"
Zhao Wuxian glanced at Kan Zhi, although this son was young, he was his confidant, in addition to Zhang Mengtan in the Lu State, he trusted Kan Zhi the most, far more than the disciples of Confucius......
"Oh? So you still have a way to surrender without a fight? Let's talk about it in detail. ”
Kan Zhi said: "I have learned some about the internal situation of the Qi State, and the secretaries are in their own affairs, which is not much better than the six secretaries of the Jin State fighting. It is roughly based on Guo and Gao Erqing, and Chen and Bao as a faction, and Yan and other doctors also have their own family. The Chen clan is attacking the Zhao clan's Handan, and it stands to reason that the enemy's enemy is a friend, so the general might as well let the servants go to the Qi camp to deal with the country Xia Xiaozhi and deal with the Chen clan together......"
Before Zhao Wuxian could finish listening, he laughed out loud, laughing so hard that he couldn't stop his heart and asked, "I don't know why the general is laughing." ”
"Zi me, you see the situation of Qi State too simply, in Jin State, the Qing clan can go to war without a word, but in Qi State, although the Marquis of Qi is dying of old age, and most of the national government is handed over to the Qing Dynasty, he has been secretly controlling the power. Whether it is Guo, Gao, Chen, or Bao, they all have to unite under Qi Hou in order to make profits for themselves, as long as Qi Hou is alive for a day, Qi Qing will never dare to do anything to fight. ”
"Therefore, it is useless to persuade the two of them to change their goals, because the war and power of the Qi State are in the hands of the Marquis of Qi. Pestle's stubbornness is notoriously stubborn, and after all these years, you should be able to see it, he has even been locked up and refused to let go of the Lingque healer who went to Qi Country to help the epidemic! Even if his son was captured, he refused to come to the redemption! Want him to bow his head? It's too difficult, the relationship between Qi and Zhao has already tied a dead knot with him, and it is easy to untie it, he pointed his finger at the Lu State, and the Qi State can only implement his decision, although the Chen family is stealing and playing tricks and taking the opportunity to expand the territory, but it is still implemented under the pretext of attacking Zhao. ”
Kan Zhi was stunned: "I see, yes, if the Marquis of Qi is alive, it is indeed not easy to persuade Guoxia to quit the army." ”
Zhao Wuxian said again: "What's more, it's not that the Qi people want to embarrass me now, but that I have to make the Qi people pay a price in exchange for the stability of the Lu country." Do you remember how much the Qi people lost during the Battle of the Snow Field? ”
Kan Zhi said: "There are less than 20,000 dead and wounded, missing, and surrendered. ”
"It was these 20,000 people that made Qi Hou have to endure for four or five years before he dared to re-recruit the people to make things difficult for my family. The reason why I spent so much time chasing the Qi army this time, trying to block them in the Lu country, is to replicate the results of the Snow Field War, as long as I can leave half of the Qi army, I can be stable and prosperous in the Lu country for several years. Otherwise, if you suffer from gains and losses, let go of the Xia army all the tails to return, once I return to the Jin Kingdom with the front foot, the evil neighbor of the Qi people will be able to come to the southern foot of Mount Tai to fight the autumn wind again, when the time comes, I save or not? It's really going to be exhausted and passive! ”
Kan Zhi understood now, "Failed to comprehend the strategy of the lord, and the sin of the minister was ......"
Zhao Wuxian helped him up: "Your idea is good, this battle should not be extinguished by the country and the second Gao clan, and after defeating the main force of the Qi people, you may be able to send someone to contact them." The Chen family is also the great enemy of the Zhao family in the future, and it is time for the bureau of the Qi State to start arranging! ”
"However, we still have to win this battle first! I've been looking forward to the fight with Guoxia for a long time! ”
……
An hour later, the Zhao army had entered the vicinity of Wenshui, and there were light horsemen leading the way, and they quickly found the Guoxia Department.
Zhao Wuxian drove the horse to climb high and overlook, and saw that the Wen water was five or six miles away in front of him, rolling and flowing from the northeast to the southwest, at this time it was just past noon, the sun was hot, and behind him was the land of Wenshang of Lu State, the left and right fields were verdant, and the soil was damp; The water in front of Wen is rolling, the waves are splashing, the water vapor is also felt from a distance of several miles, the green trees and reeds on the shore, all kinds of wild flowers are dotted, there are frightened birds flying out from time to time, nearly 40,000 Qi people are camping two or three miles from the shore!
The pontoon bridge was halfway built, and now that construction has been stopped, it seems that Guoxia understands that if they don't deal with the enemy behind them first, they will only be half-crossed.
What's more, Zhao Wuxian immediately saw smoke billowing from the pontoon bridge, and it was Guoxia who sent someone to burn it!
Wuxian couldn't help but admire: "Yes, although the country doesn't know the story of the shipwreck and the last battle, he also knows that only the trapped beast can inspire Dayong!" (To be continued.) )
