Chapter 161: Raising Wolves is a Problem

From Yiyang to Bazhong, like a line of fire, people kept being injured and dying on the thousand-mile-long land, and then a new wave of soldiers was sent to take over. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

In the half month since the start of the war, nearly 100,000 people have been killed and wounded in the Qin State, and the consumption of grain and grass has increased by a terrifying number. All the grain stacks in the rich Bashu granaries were closed, and the Qin army took the seals to receive one granary after another.

In the battle of national fortune, although Qin's troops were no match for the Zhou-Chu alliance, it had spread to the mainland without war for decades, and the massive materials accumulated by Qin were enough to consume with Zhou-Chu.

For a month, as long as he insisted on it for another month, the chessboard spy came with the news that Luoyi's grain depot had been emptied, and Zhou Tianzi was hesitating to move the regular liquidation he had saved for twenty years. The state of Chu has been exhausted, and although the Jingchu Plain is rich, the extravagant atmosphere has replaced the grain and grass in these places with beautiful but impractical golden agate.

So the majestic and high-spirited Chu army ran out of grain and grass after ten days of attacking Qin, and the military warehouses set up along the two lakes were a joke, with only rice husks and sand. It is said that the king of Chu killed hundreds of nobles because of this, and the blood once changed the color of the Jialing River.

The water depth of the wide Jialing River is a little deep, and only a hundred people will make it change color, Zhao Zheng will not believe this kind of unfounded nonsense. But the king of Chu was very surprised to kill, you must know that the bad habit of not punishing the doctor in Chu is worse than that of the Central Plains, even if Mi Yuan insulted the king of Chu in court, but he was exiled to Ruan Xiang. This time he killed a hundred nobles at once, and it seems that the king of Chu is determined to destroy the Qin state.

The lack of grain and grass dragged down the ambition of the king of Chu, and even if he killed another thousand nobles, not even a hundred stones of grain could be conjured in the granary.

What's more, Li Bing's son Li Huai led the soldiers of Shu County like a stubborn stone, blocking the pace of the Chu army, and I believe that the Chu army will soon retreat due to lack of food and grass.

To destroy Qin, it is necessary to fight quickly.

In March, Ji Dan, the king of Yan, issued a letter in response to Zhou Tianzi's call to raise troops to attack Qin, and led 50,000 guards to the northern county of Qin through the Jin Guole room.

The only thing that the Zhao family, who has the same ancestry, can help the Qin State this time is not to send troops, and the Wei family, who has a grudge against the Qin State, has already started a fight with the Qin army in Dingyang.

The tide of the battle is reversed again, and whether or not they can withstand this wave of killing depends on how much endurance the Qin people have. Fortunately for Zhou Chu, the Qin State was not monolithic, and the contradictions between the newly returned prince and other princes became more and more entangled.

Hot Spring Palace, even if he became the prince of the prison country, Zhao Zheng still took the trouble to run around every day, Xianyang Palace is not his territory, and if he lives there, he may be in a different place at dawn.

The first level of martial law, the door was closed, Wei Huo personally led the team to guard, and Zhao Zhou also rushed from Lin Hu to inspect every shadow.

There is only one reason why the Gushan army can be so vigilant, Zhao is holding an emergency military meeting, the last time was to discuss the Northern Expedition, and the most core part was only attended by Wei Lian, Dongfang Valley, and Tian Shimu.

"I can't transfer troops anymore, a division is transferred back, the troops left behind in Dongping have reached the limit, and then the troops are transferred back, and the subordinates are worried...... The place is unstable, and the Qi army may take the opportunity to attack us. ”

Wei Lian paused for a long time to say such a reason, and his eyes glanced at Zhao Zheng from time to time, revealing an anxious look.

Mi Xin was surrounded by Pi Mu Mountain, two months later the army was defeated and committed suicide, more than 30,000 Chu troops surrendered, this time Zhao Zheng did not choose to adapt, the customs of the Chu people are very different from the Central Plains, and the township party friendship is deep, those means are simply not enough to buy the Chu army.

The Blue Wolf Legion went to Canghai County, Ji Chong became the actual controller of Dongping, and after Tian Shimu led the Gushan First Division south, the strength of the Gushan Army could only control a few important cities such as Wanghai City and Baicheng, and the rest were either the Beiting mercenaries or the Blue Wolf Legion.

The strength of the Qi army has been reduced to 20,000, and a large number of soldiers were sent back to the Qi mainland by Tian Zifang for various reasons, and he himself returned to Linzi. He would rather give up this overseas territory to ensure that the strength of the Qi State would not be damaged, he is a man of vision.

Zhao Zheng glanced at Wei Lian meaningfully, and said with a smile: "Sir is worried, the Hu people may take the opportunity to recover Dongping?" ”

Zhao Zheng deliberately did not mention Ji Chong, obviously Wei Lian was on guard against Ji Chong, Ji Chong, who held the power of Donghu and was ranked as the regent, whether he was willing to call himself a Gushan courtier, no one dared to guarantee this.

"Just in case."

"Ji Chong is my brother."

Wei Lian was stunned, hesitated and said in a deep voice: "The king is a lonely man. ”

Power is the poison of all feelings, for which Ji Dan's father and son have been fighting openly and secretly for ten years; Ji Yan worked hard to chase and kill the baby; Ying'an Chengjiao is both soft and hard, and Zhao Zheng calculates.

Wei Lian didn't believe that Ji Chong was so loyal, and he didn't do it as the regent, and was willing to obey Gushan's orders.

But Zhao Zheng believes that his family and brothers are a hundred times more important to him than those powerful and wealthy. He was silent for a while and then diverted the topic, no one dared to mention it again, including Wei Lian, it was a foregone conclusion that he would hand over the rear to Ji Chong.

Wang Jian served as the commander of the newly formed Gushan 1st Division and 3rd Regiment, and together with Ji Daliu, he attacked Liaodong of Yan State and copied Ji Dan's back road.

Liang Ji and He Miao each led a main force regiment and killed Ji Wuyang in two ways, just like the attack path of the Tiger Army, forcing the Yan State to retract its troops.

The military order was like a mountain, and as soon as the resolution was reached, more than a dozen carrier pigeons flew to Linhu and Dongping with fragments of military orders.

Wei Lian came to a corner and quietly waited for the arrival of a person.

"Teacher, it's too late."

It was Zhao Zhou, the commander-in-chief of the shadow guard, who gave a big salute to Wei Lian on one knee. Wei Lian once taught him and Yingbu strategy, but what few people know is that Wei Lian alone taught Zhao Zhou the "Yin Fu Jing", the earliest espionage textbook in China.

Wei Lian sighed with his hands behind his back and said: "The lord is too affectionate, it is a good thing and not a good thing, Ji Chong was originally a nobleman of Yan Kingdom, and now he is stealing a high position in Donghu, I am afraid that he has two hearts." ”

"Why don't you hand over the conflict between General Tian and Ji Chong to the lord, and if you don't accept the deployment of Gushan, the evidence is ironclad, and the shadow guard can kill him."

Zhao Zhou's style of acting is similar to Yingbu's, the boy became a slave, and followed Zhao Zheng to escape death several times. The way to solve his troubles is very simple, he can kill if he can, and he can't kill when he finds an opportunity to kill.

"Only the dead do not commit betrayal, and the teacher teaches the students to keep it in mind. Although Ji Chong is powerful, it only takes a stick of incense for the shadow guard to solve him. ”

The corners of Zhao Zhou's mouth turned into a smile when he spoke, which made Wei Xian shudder, this expression he first saw on Zhao Zheng, and then Xinzheng was broken, and Zheng Po also descended from King Zheng to Duke Zheng.

"Have I done anything wrong to teach a wolf, if I have two hearts, will he solve me too?"

Wei Lian's palms were sweaty, wiped his robe without a trace, and said: "Don't do it for the time being, since the lord believes in Ji Chong, he has a reason to believe in him, no matter what, the shadow guard can't disobey the lord's will." ”

"So, let Ji Chong go?" Zhao Zhou was puzzled, and Wei Xian was still suspicious everywhere, and used spies to eradicate Ji Chong.

"Ahem~", Wei Lian asked crampedly, "Who is the shadow guard ambushing Ji Chong?" ”

"Hmm!"

Zhao Zhou seemed to be a child who had been robbed of his toys, and looked at Wei Lian with wide eyes and puzzled.

"It's okay, I'm just asking, since you don't want to say it, then don't say it."

Wei Lian hurriedly left, he felt that it was extremely stupid for him to accept Zhao Zhou and even teach anyone Zhao Zheng brought out the Yin Fu Sutra.

Zhao Zhou suddenly realized and smiled, as if saying to himself: "Where there are people, there is a shadow, and where there is a shadow, there is a shadow guard." ”
