Mengxia April, the main fire, the main army.

This month, the spring ploughing inside and outside the Taihang of the Jin Kingdom has been completed, and the summer harvest is also being completed one after another, and the weather is not hot enough to the extent that people can't stand it, which is a good time for using soldiers.

The interior of the Jin River has been shrouded in the clouds of war, where various forces clash and confront.

Hanoi is called Hanoi because it is located east of the north bank of the recess of the Yellow River and is located in the former Yin Shang Wangji. It is opposite to Henan and Hedong, and is called "Three Rivers". In the past, Yu Xia was the capital of Hedong, the Yin people were Hanoi, and the Zhou people were Henan, and the "three rivers" were the hinterland of the Yu Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, and were also synonymous with the "Central Plains".

"The three rivers are in the world, just like the three legs of the Dading, especially in Hanoi, the south controls the danger of the big river, the north leans on the solidity of Taihang, and the east is close to Chaoge and Weidi. The Qin River flows eastward, with little water in the west, and the mountains and rivers in the surface are male across Jin and Wei. The decline of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty in the past, the Jin Dynasty won Nanyang and became a hegemonic industry, and it was a place to fight......"

On the vast Hanoi Plain, Zhao Ying, dressed in military uniform, led his retainers to the Qinshui and looked back at the Zhao army.

The Zhao army is very strong, under the afternoon sun, but seeing the river like a belt, sparkling, looking back, the Zhao soldiers' halberds are like a forest, the sound of war drums, the neighing of nearly a thousand horses and war horses soars into the sky, and the dust raised by the footsteps of thousands of soldiers can be seen from miles away.

Many Zhao diners were in high spirits and praised in unison: "The Zhao division army is majestic, and the lord will be able to pacify Handan and destroy those who refuse to accept this eastward march this time!" ”

Zhou She, who never greeted and only advised and admonished, sighed and said on the side: "It's a pity that the anointed land on the other side is the territory of the Fan family, and the people there regard the Zhao family as an enemy, if they don't fight. then it is impossible to pass if there is a war. is indispensable for a bloody storm. ”

Zhou She's words have always been disliked, and Zhao Ying is also used to it. He maneuvered his mount to wade through the water, and the horse's hooves stepped and stepped on the edge of the water, looking at the Fan clan who was waiting on the other side, and frowned.

Yes, his righteous army that crusaded against the traitors of the clan was hindered here!

……

"The Zhao clan has announced its independence from the Great Sect of Handan this time, and there are two paths to choose."

"The first is to send troops from Wen County, cross the Qinshui River to the north, and then pass through the dense Fan city. Direct to Handan. The second is to send troops from the eldest son of the Shangdang Basin, trek more than 100 miles in the mountain road, and knock on the Mengmen Pass controlled by the Fan clan through Taihang! ”

The suggestions of the retainers were very comprehensive, and Zhao Ying also chose to divide the troops into two ways, because if you go to the eldest son's post Wuzheng to transfer troops and then detour through Wen County, you have to cross the road first, and then go too far, which will delay a lot of time.

But no matter which way, you have to go through Hanoi.

The Hanoi area was mainly divided between Pham and Han. The Zhao clan only has one Wen county, and there is also the newly acquired ferry port of Jianjin.

The territorial boundary between Fan and Han is Qinshui, and the Han family has two counties of Zhou and Huai in the south of Qinshui, and Yong County, the frontier of the Fan family, in the north of Qinshui. There are several cities behind it, such as Fan and a total of others.

Although the Han clan swore that he was willing to share weal and woe with the Zhao clan, Han Bo refused to send troops this time under the pretext that the crusade against Handan was the internal affairs of the Zhao clan...... "After camping in a dry open space by the Qinshui. Yang Hu looked at the labor porters provided by the Han clan outside the tent and said softly.

The Han clan is an ally of the Zhao clan. They were willing to borrow the Tao and were willing to provide the Zhao clan with grain, straw, baggage and camps. He was even willing to let Han's scouts serve the Zhao clan. But they were reluctant to send troops to accompany them, Yang Hu knew their thoughts, unless the opponent Zhongxing clan was officially involved in the war, Han Buxin was unwilling to start the sword soldiers lightly.

These six secretaries of the Jin Kingdom, all of them are human spirits! It is worthy of the remaining elites who have struggled for two hundred years, and their resourcefulness and strength are many times stronger than those of Lu Guosanhuan.

Zhao Ying said helplessly: "The head of the Han family is an old man who seeks the country, he has an old man who acts cautiously, and he is not lacking in careful calculations......" His son Han Shen, who was stationed in the state and county, obeyed his father's orders, and the degree of assistance to the Zhao family was very accurate, not much, not less, so that you both hoped to get more help, but you couldn't find anything wrong, which made Zhao Ying hate itchy.

It would be nice if Han Hu presided over the state and county, he and his son were brothers without sympathy, and they acted more actively.

The marriage and alliance of several generations still cannot guarantee that the Qing clan can dig out each other's hearts and lungs, and they are more of a cooperative relationship of interests.

Fortunately, the Han clan also guaranteed that if the Fan clan dared to cross the river to attack first, they would definitely help Zhao attack Fan.

Yang Hu said again: "It's that the prince of the Wei family patted his chest before leaving and said that he would definitely persuade his father to join the war, but this is the credit of the gentleman and the second son of Wei Han, otherwise the help and commitment that the Zhao family received may be a little less." The Wei clan had a feud with the Fan clan, and they were very interested in joining the attack on the Fan clan, but the Wei clan did not even have a hundred small towns east of Taihang, and they were unwilling to transfer the main force away from Anyi, so I am afraid that they could only count on them to contain the rest of the Fan clan west of Taihang. ”

Zhao Ying held the desk and looked at the Liuqing situation map above, and the territory of West Zhao was painted bright white, "In other words, the war east of Taihang can only rely on the Zhao family itself!" ”

Now the war situation in the Jin Kingdom is about to break out, but the Zhao family and the Fan family did not fight immediately, they have been facing each other for two days across the Qinshui, and the forces of the two sides are equal, and no one dares to move lightly.

In view of the advantages and disadvantages of the two sides, Yang Hu analyzed: "The territory of the Zhao family is scattered, and there are two places near Xintian in Xia Gong and Geng County. The focus of business is concentrated in the northwest of the Jin Kingdom, where there are Jinyang, Wolf Meng, Yu, Ma Shou, Huo people, etc., the land is vast and sparsely populated, the people are fierce, and 15,000 soldiers can be conscripted, which is the main combat force of the Zhao family. It's a pity that it's too far away from here, and it will take a month just to transfer troops back and forth, and the distant water may not be able to quench the thirst of the near. ”

"As for the two sides of Taihang, it is the eldest son and Wen. The lord brought 5,000 people from Jinyang, and sent a division from Wenzheng, plus the post Wuzheng division who set out from the eldest son and threatened Mengmen, a total of 10,000 people, and there were more than 7,000 people on the Qinshui side alone...... But the Fan soldiers on the other side also have this number, and even more. ”

As mentioned earlier, Hanoi was the place where the kings of the Xia and Shang dynasties lived, and it was developed by generations of ancestors for nearly a thousand years. Therefore, the people are dense, the place is rich, the boat and car will be the city, known as the "land and sea", and it is one of the most elite areas of the Jin Kingdom.

The Pham family accounts for two-thirds of Hanoi, and there is the old land of Yin Wei, Chaoge, and this area is divided into six counties and ten provinces. It has a population of 400,000 and can send nearly 20,000 troops. It is the core of Fan's. Knowing that the Marquis of Jin declared Handan to be a traitor to the Zhao family, the Zhao family could ask for it. Fan made a look of obstruction, and sent 10,000 troops to intercept it on the north bank of Qinshui and Mengmen Pass.

Zhao Ying said with some annoyance: "I have reported the matter of the Fan family's disobedience to the monarch, but it is unreliable to expect the Qi Palace and Zhibole to make the Fan family give way, and the longer it drags on, the more unfavorable it will be to the Zhao family." On the other side of the river, Fan Ji is shooting in person, and if he stops me here for one more day, it will be easier for the Handan clan to gather troops, not to mention the strong troops of the Zhongxing clan, although I look down on Zhongxingyin. But he had to admit that his Dongyang powerhouse was the most formidable enemy of the Zhao clan......"

Although the Zhao clan has reformed the military in recent years, and Zhao Ying has also received a very high honor because of the defeat of the Qi people, but the Jin people have always been light Qi, and the apprentice phalanx of the Zhongxing clan should not be underestimated...... The core area of the Zhongxing clan is in the Bai people, in the north of Handan, and the time to gather troops and come here will be a little later. But no later than the end of April......

Time is ticking!

Strategist Yang Yin frowned for a long time, and said: "It seems that it is not possible to fight without fighting, but if you cross the river in a hurry, it is easy to be attacked by Fan's half-crossing, if Ziliang Sima can take Mengmen Pass." It would be nice to attack Fan's division from behind......"

Yang Hu shook his head and said: "This is not easy, back then, the Duke of Qi Zhuang took advantage of the Luan Clan's rebellion to break the dynasty song and ascend to Taihang." But he was planted at Mengmen Pass, and he could only return with a feather. The Mengmen area is like silk. Winding and coiled, surrounded by peaks and mountains. The ravines are vertical and horizontal, and the ancient passes are clustered, known as natural hazards. Unless a centaur grows wings, it is difficult to pass, let alone the half-normal defenders there...... Now that the Han clan is unwilling to get involved in the war situation lightly, if they want to break this stalemate, they can only rely on the east......"

With Yang Hu's guidance, Zhao Ying and the retainers and strategists in the tent set their eyes on the eastern part of Hanoi. The Zhao clan also has a small enclave there, and the map on the other side of the river is even more striking black: it is the symbol of "Eastern Zhao", Liyan and Punan, which were originally patriotic lands, but now they are occupied by the Zhao clan.

"Sir's right."

Zhao Ying stroked his beard and said with some concern.

"If I am Fan Jishu and Zhao Ji, since I have blocked my main force from the front, I will definitely send a partial division to attack Jianjin!"

……

"As long as the thorns are captured, the so-called East and West Erzhao will be like a python that has been cut in two, and the head and tail cannot echo!"

"Really?" Handan Ji asked rhetorically, although he was shocked to learn that after his father's death, he was angry and rebelled against Zhao, but once the responsibility for the survival of the clan was shouldered, people became cautious.

At this time, it was still early, and they set off from Chaoge, and Handan Ji's car drove in front of the team, walking with Fan He, the son of the Fan family. Fan's 200 chariots, more than 1,000 soldiers, and 5,000 mourning soldiers of the Handan clan scattered behind them, like a forest of spears, flags, and changge, moving slowly.

"My gentleman is right." Fan's song Sima Liu Xiang said on the side. "Half of the main force of the Zhao clan is still in Jinyang, blocked by thousands of mountains and rivers, and it is absolutely impossible to come over for a month, just cut off the Jianjin Ferry, which can make Zhao Wuxian on the east bank of the river unable to support Zhao Ying. At that time, the strong army of the Bank of China will be killed, and with Fan and Handan to cross the Qinshui and go out of Mengmen, the Zhao army in the land of Nanyang can be completely annihilated! If Zhao Ying can be captured or killed alive, he can settle the overall situation and force the monarch to change the unfair judgment of Handan, with Zhao as the first culprit. ”

"This is too cheap for the Zhao family, if only Zhao Wuxian could be successfully assassinated before, once the head is lost, the so-called Dong Zhao will definitely collapse." Fan He also said hatefully, those Fan dead soldiers were trained by him in the past few years.

"I just want to find justice for my father, capture Wen County, be able to mourn for him, cry for three days, and then welcome his body back and bury him in Handan Gaogang ......"

Fan He saw that Handan Ji had a gloomy face, and knew that he was still immersed in his father's funeral, so he pretended to be sympathetic and said: "It's a pity that the guards that my father gave to Handan to mourn his son were transferred out by the Zhao family, who would have thought that they would do such a poisonous thing......"

Handan Ji didn't want to mention it again, he stroked the black cloth tied to his forehead, looked back at the Handan division that was entangled in the name of revenge, and said with some worry: "But, can we successfully capture Jianjin?" ”

"The Zhao clan only stationed more than 1,000 people in Jianjin, and they still stayed on both sides of the strait, if they dare to resist, it is self-defeating." Fan He said in his usual confident tone, "Our army is six times that of him, and we can easily take this place, which makes Zhao Wuxian look at the river and sigh!" ”

As he spoke, he began to grit his teeth again, five years ago, his twin brother Fan Jia was drowned in the cold river by Zhao Wuxian in Jianjin, killing his brother's hatred, the pain of his skin, Fan He did not forget it for a day.

So he had to defeat the Zhao family with his father this time, and let Zhao Wuxian watch his father, brothers and sisters being abused and killed one after another on the other side of the river, so as to eliminate the hatred in his heart!

"Where's Zhao Wuxian?" Although Handan Ji didn't have much fear of Zhao Ying, his fight with Zhao Wuxian was only a small fight in Pan Palace when he was young. But Handan is close to the Lu country, and his prestige has been passed over over the years, even though he is as angry as Fan He, he has to ask a few more questions, because what he brought with him in this surprise attack is half of the Handan clan!

"I heard that he took a boat from Wenxian County half a month ago to return to Lu to transfer troops, thousands of miles away, counting the time of conscription, it will take at least a month to go back and forth. You must know that even if the Marquis of Jin summoned Zhuqing from Xintian to send troops to Hanoi, it would take more than a month! ”

Although Fan He swore an oath, Handan Ji looked at the gradually brightening sky and felt a sudden tremble, and he said: "I'm still a little uneasy......

Fan He disagreed: "According to the news of Qi and Wei, the elite soldiers of the Zhao clan dragged a lot of Lu soldiers and left the Lu country not long after. Even if Zhao's car rides all night, he will not cross the river so quickly, believe me, there will be no accidents. ”

"Unless, he, Zhao Wuxian, has the means to fly back to Lu State to report the conscription!"

……

It was night, on the north shore of Jianjin, a young nobleman stood on the pier of the ferry, his face was a little tired, and he was more expectant. He was not wearing armor, but the tiger generals behind him were all neatly draped, and the black-clothed guards who were protecting him on the left and right were also armor and swords, standing with their heads held high in the still dim starlight.

Behind them, in a wider area, countless armored soldiers were gathering on the shore, all silent, horses and horses, arranged in an orderly manner according to divisions, brigades, pawns, and soldiers. After the formation was completed, it looked extremely solemn, and a solemn aura was like a needle, sharp snow, and the skin was cold.

After a while, a knight galloped over, rolled his saddle and dismounted, and said: "General, according to the scout, there is an enemy army coming to Jianjin after the song!" The number of people was about six or seven thousand. ”

"Good!"

Zhao Wuxian stood in the deep cool night, looking at the interior of the river north of the big river, and under the quiet appearance, he couldn't hide the ups and downs in his heart.

It's finally time to begin!

"Finally, there was no delay, Yang Hu's trick of 'driving fish for the abyss' is good, and now, he is just waiting for the fish to enter the abyss!"
