Zhang Yi nodded confidently, he looked like he had a good idea, and he also intended to stabilize Gongsun Yan and Mantuo. Zhang Yi said: "The prince of Zhao fled to Jinyang, but it was easier to do, because we had a clearer goal. ”

When Mantuo heard this, he felt strange, according to his train of thought, it was not good for his side to flee to Jinyang City, because in the face of the tall city wall of Jinyang, it was not said that he would attack it.

It's no wonder that Mantuo thinks so, because the Linhu people are good at rapid cavalry advance in battle, and when they encounter the obstruction of the city wall, plus there are people on the city wall who cast cold arrows, the Linhu cavalry is not advantageous at all. In the past hundred years, Qin, Zhao, Yan and other countries have seen the advantages of the city wall in blocking the Hu cavalry, and have built a connected city wall on the northern border, known as the Great Wall.

This connected Great Wall really made Lin Hu and other cavalry of the northern nationalities feel a big headache, and they were no longer as free to come and go as before, and when they invaded the Central Plains, they also needed to sneak close, take advantage of their unpreparedness, open the gap, and break into the "Great Wall" unprepared, and then loot it on a large scale.

Thinking of this, Mantuo asked Zhang Yi through a translator: "Why does Prime Minister Zhang see that it is more convenient for us to attack Jinyang?" ”

Zhang Yi replied: "King Mantuoxian and General Gongsun both thought that if the crown prince of Zhao fled into Jinyang City, then I would attack the city, but in fact, it was not. I'm not going to be so brutal, I just need to besiege Jinyang City. We can either attack in a hurry, or besiege without attacking, and trap the prince of Zhao as a big hostage in Jinyang City, and our goal will be achieved. ”

"Then the crown prince of Zhao State is trapped in Jinyang, I don't believe that Zhao Yu and Su Qin still have the heart to hold any joint conference, I'm afraid that they have the heart to do it, but the other princes also look at their jokes."

"Aren't they going to hold a meeting on Chung Yeung Day? Now that this date is less than ten days away, we only need to besiege Jinyang for ten days. After the deadline for the alliance agreed on the Double Ninth Day, the princes and ministers of various countries dispersed one after another, and the matter of the alliance was over. ”

Gongsun Yan and Mantuo listened to Zhang Yi's analysis, and they both thought that Zhang Yi had a far-reaching strategy and planned very properly. Mantuo stretched out his thumb to Zhang Yi again, and praised Zhang Yi in Lin Hu language.

Zhang Yi led the Qin-Wei coalition army and the Linhu cavalry to wait for less than two hours on the road from Huotai Mountain to Handan, and Zhang Yi ordered the army to march and turn into the direction of Jinyang City. This time, he learned his lesson and did not divide his troops to advance, but gathered nearly 50,000 people, formed a column, and drove to Jinyang City together.

When passing through Dongyang Slope on the way, Zhang Yi inspected the surrounding situation and found the traces of the ambush array arranged by Qu Xin and others, Zhang Yi pointed out to Gongsun Yan and Mantuo, and the two of them saw this, and once again praised Zhang Yi for his foresight, and was glad that he had listened to Zhang Yi's advice to avoid the fate of being ambushed.

Zhang Yi turned to Mantuo's translator and asked him to convey to Mantuo: The top priority is to ask King Mantuo to send another 20,000 Linhu cavalry to meet under the city of Jinyang to strengthen the siege of Jinyang. Both Qin and Wei were very far away from Jinyang, and it was very unrealistic to send troops to come, so they could only turn to Lin Hu Shan Yu for help. The Qin State prepared a large amount of corn, and if Shan Yu agreed, he was willing to send 30,000 Hu corn to the Linhu tribe. ”

The translator told Mantuo everything about Zhang Yi's words, and Mantuo's face sank at first, and he was very unhappy, but then he smiled again. Zhang Yi stared at Mantuo intently, and it could be seen from his expression that Mantuo originally thought that Zhang Yi had made a request with empty white teeth, so he was dissatisfied.

Probably later, Mantuo heard the fall of 100,000 husks of corn, and then his face turned from cloudy to sunny and he became happy.

Mantuo nodded, and smiled at Zhang Yi again, when he laughed, he grinned, which startled Zhang Yi, and when he looked at it, he realized that Mantuo was not angry but happy, and the expression was a smile rather than annoyance.

Mantuorang told Zhang Yi: "As long as Qin is willing to pay corn, it will not be a problem to increase the army, and now the key is how can Qin transport grain to Linhu, so that the Linhu people can see the benefits?" ”

When Zhang Yi heard this, he felt a little unhappy in his heart, but he didn't show his expression. He thought to himself: "People say that people do things for profit, and if you don't see a rabbit, you don't scatter an eagle, and that's true." ”

Zhang Yi immediately made a promise to Mantuo, and he immediately wrote a telegram to send his soldiers back to Xianyang with horses and whips, and asked King Yingsi of Qin to prepare 30,000 pieces of corn and send them to the royal court of Lin Hu Danyu.

The person who sent the secret message left, Zhang Yi told Mantuo the news, and Mantuo also talked about it, and arranged for someone to go back to deliver the letter, and he immediately sent two knights to leave the army and go alone.

The translator came and told Zhang Yi that Mantuo also sent someone to send information to Shan Yu, asking Shan Yu to receive the corn brought in by the Qin State in the royal court, and once the goods arrived, he would immediately raise troops to join the battle in Jinyang.

After arranging all this, Zhang Yi took tens of thousands of troops dressed as Linhu people and drove to Jinyang.

When approaching Jinyang City, Zhang Yi let the troops pause, he divided the troops into four parts, each with more than 10,000 cavalry as a column, respectively guarded the four gates of Jinyang City, the columns responded to each other, once the people in the city broke through, the four columns cooperated with each other to intercept and kill.

At this time, the crown prince Zhao Yong had already arrived in Jinyang City for two hours, and he ordered the gates of Jinyang City to be closed to prevent the Lin Hu cavalry from rushing into the city later.

Poor people of Jinyang, who had lived very peacefully, went in and out of the city gates, busy with their own business and other work, and now suddenly fell into a panic. Rumors spread in the city, all saying that the Linhu people came with an army of 100,000 and surrounded Jinyang City.

Families in Jinyang City closed their doors and took refuge in their own houses from the scourge of war that could come at any time. In such times, this kind of worrying day seems to have become a very ordinary part of life. Either the conquest between the vassal states is the battle between you and me, or the looting of the wandering peoples, and life is not very peaceful.

The crown prince entered Jinyang City and stayed in the palace of the old capital, where there are still more than 100 people, guarding and cleaning the palace for the occasional visit of the monarch and other royal nobles. They didn't expect that this time was extraordinary, the prince suddenly came in embarrassment, followed by more than 30,000 soldiers wearing clothes from different countries.

Qu Xin thought for a while, and thought that he couldn't deploy all these 30,000 columns in Jinyang City, which would be too lonely and lacking flexibility. He suggested that he lead more than 10,000 troops to a small city called Jiyi in the south of Jinyang to station in order to echo the defenders in the city, and in case the prince in the city broke through in the future, he could also make a response on the periphery.

Zhou Shao felt that Qu Xin's proposal was very good, so he strongly agreed with Qu Xin's idea in front of the prince. The crown prince thought for a moment: "That Qu Xin was not originally led by Zhao Guoren, where is he willing to completely obey me." If I had to fight him today, I'm afraid he would leave it alone and run away. I might as well be a favor, just listen to him. ”

The prince agreed, so Qu Xin took 10,000 troops of the Hezhong army to Jiyi and stationed in the small city. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be this scattered mobile unit, which played a big role at a critical moment.

In the afternoon of the same day, Zhang Yi's troops set out to camp on all sides of Jinyang City, and Zhou Shao, who was watching the enemy's formation at the head of the city, opened his mouth in surprise, and his eyes did not turn a moment. He said in his heart: "Ermu's, why are there so many Linhu cavalry out of thin air? ”

Zhou Shao listened to Zhao Xi's introduction and said that the Linhu people were only 30,000 people, but when he saw the formation outside the city, there were clearly 50,000 people, and the troops on his side were only just 30,000 people.

Who doesn't know the power of the Lu Daolin Hu cavalry? These people are brave and unusually brave when they fight, they have a lifeless posture, and they are skilled in horsemanship, and their archery skills are superb.

Zhou Shao hurriedly sent someone to find Zhao Xi and asked him to go to the city tower to see the situation outside the city. When Zhao Xi first entered the city, he was busy arranging food, clothing, housing and transportation for the prince, and before he had completely settled down, he received a message from Zhou Shao.

Zhao Xi saw that the sergeant who came to report the news was out of breath, his expression was extremely flustered, and his heart was tight, feeling that Zhou Shao would not let him urgently go to the city tower to watch the enemy for no reason.

Zhao Xi didn't care about the work at hand, and hurriedly followed the sergeant who reported the news to the east gate of Jinyang City, went up to the city tower, and saw Zhou Shao crossing his waist, pacing back and forth, his eyes seemed to be about to erupt fire, and he was very annoyed.

Zhou Shao saw Zhao Xi coming, he took a few steps forward, took Zhao Xi's hand, and said, "Doctor Zhao, come and see, where are there only 30,000 people in this Linhu people, and I see that there are 50,000 troops." ”

Zhou Shao pulled Zhao Xi and walked along the wall of Jinyang City to the south, west, and north, and pointed out the camp of the Linhu people to show him. Zhao Xi saw that tall camps were set up on the high ground outside the four city gates, and the figures of the camps were busy shuttling around, and at first glance it was not like they were going to be stationed for a day or two and then leave.

Zhao Xi was dumbfounded, he originally estimated that the Lin Hu people were just trying to gain a momentary advantage, chasing fast from behind, seeing that it was unprofitable, and they would retreat quickly in the future, but he didn't expect them to set up the kind of camp of the Central Plains army in a decent way.

However, Zhao Xi soon realized the strangeness: "This Linhu people are born to live in pursuit of water and grass, they don't even build a fixed residence, how can they set up camp like the Central Plains people?" Zhang Yi nodded confidently, he looked like he had a good idea in his chest, and he also intended to stabilize Gongsun Yan and Mantuo. Zhang Yi said: "The prince of Zhao fled to Jinyang, but it was easier to do, because we had a clearer goal. ”

When Mantuo heard this, he felt strange, according to his train of thought, it was not good for his side to flee to Jinyang City, because in the face of the tall city wall of Jinyang, it was not said that he would attack it.

Zhao Xi saw that tall camps were set up on the high ground outside the four city gates, and the figures of the camps were busy shuttling around, and at first glance it was not like they were going to be stationed for a day or two and then leave.

Zhao Xi was dumbfounded, he originally estimated that the Lin Hu people were just trying to gain a momentary advantage, chasing fast from behind, seeing that it was unprofitable, and they would retreat quickly in the future, but he didn't expect them to set up the kind of camp of the Central Plains army in a decent way.

However, Zhao Xi soon realized the strangeness: "This Linhu people are born to live in pursuit of water and grass, they don't even build a fixed residence, how can they set up camp like the Central Plains people?" ”
