Chapter 181: The Situation Flips
Luoyi, built by Zhou Gongdan 800 years ago, is called "two capitals" together with Hojing. During the reign www.biquge.info of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Western Zhou Dynasty was the Zong Zhou, and after the Ping King moved eastward, it was the Cheng Zhou.
Eight hundred years of foundation, the first four hundred years of Zhou Tianzi how powerful he was, after moving east, it plummeted, and the former courtiers became kings, and they were on an equal footing with the Son of Heaven.
Thirty-eight years ago, the current Zhou Tianzi Ji Yan ascended the throne, forbearance for 20 years, governance for 20 years, and finally turned the huge Central Plains into Zhou Wangji.
The alliance Chu attacked Qin, and the 700,000 army stormed the Qin state, although the rear strength was not strong, but finally hit Tongguan, only one step away from taking Xianyang directly, and recovering the old land of Xiqi Zongzhou.
However, if heaven does not grant it, how can it be forced?
The 200,000 troops of Donghu went south, went down to Yuyang and Podong County, and only 1,000 miles away from entering the territory of Chengzhou. At this time, the Zhou army was exhausted, and the rear was empty.
"Rice buckets, waste, shameless scum."
In the East Palace of the Prince, Ji Zhan was spitting and cursing non-stop, and there was Lao Jin kneeling in front of him, who was Ji Dan's guard, who was actually a secret agent of the Die Guard.
Ji was occupied, Ji Dan fled to Nanjun in a hurry, and now there is a shortage of soldiers and food, and Ji Chong seems to be not satisfied and wants to continue to go south. Ji Dan had no choice but to send Lao Jin to Luoyi for help, promising to be demoted to a duke after the restoration of the country, and never forget the kindness of the Son of Heaven.
Ji Zhan threw the distress letter on the ground in disgust, and stepped on it unwillingly: "How many soldiers and horses, how much grain and straw are there now, and how are all kinds of weapons and equipment?" ”
Angry is angry, Ji Zhan still wants to save Ji Dan. The Yan Kingdom is adjacent to Hudi, which was originally used to deter Hu Nu and shield the Zhou royal family. When the Yan Kingdom perished, the Hu people could drive straight in, and the Yannan Plain was a smooth road, and it was unknown to hit the Yongjiang River.
Lao Jin quietly observed his expression, and then said: "King Yan has no more than 80,000 soldiers and horses, half of which are soldiers from Nanjun County and some strong men who were temporarily captured.
There is a serious shortage of grain and grass, and the old grain in the house warehouse was bought up by Gushan as early as the year before last, and in the past two years, natural disasters and man-made disasters have continued in Yan country, and the grain output is extremely low.
Weapons...... There are less than 2,000 earth-shattering thunders, and the armor and arrows can support two major battles at most, and Rakuma thinks that it is only enough for one great war. ”
"Waste, waste, wasn't Ji Dan's waste rampant a few months ago, trying to be the emperor in vain, does he have this virtue?
Now that the mountains and rivers are exhausted, they come to me and beg Da Zhou for help in a low voice, and I really don't want to help this ungrateful villain anymore. ”
The Five Kingdoms cut the week, and finally sent a congratulatory gift; The alliance solidified the mountain, and even betrayed the alliance to cut it down. Ji Dan only has interests in his eyes, but he forgets fairness and faithfulness, and he has not become the supreme king of the world, but has become the number one scoundrel in the world.
Of the 80,000 horses, half of them were miscellaneous soldiers, and in the face of the fierce and well-equipped Donghu army, there were less than 2,000 earth-shattering thunders. Before the war began, Ji Zhan had already made a good judgment, and in fact, the main force of the Zhou army was quietly rushing to Anyang, preparing to engage the Donghu army.
"Alas, although I knew that I would lose, I had to waste this money and food in vain."
Ji Dan, who represents Yan Guo Zhengshuo, is now desperate and takes refuge in Cheng Zhou, if Ji Zhan doesn't help him, who knows what the desperate Ji Dan will do, maybe surrender Ji Chong, be the leading party of Donghu, and attack Zhou Wangji.
Politics is troublesome, and Lao Jin, as a secret agent, is a subordinate of both parties, and he is inevitably splinted in the middle. Seeing that the timing was about the same, he silently handed over a drawing, on which was a sketch of the artillery construction.
"Your Royal Highness, this is the fire ** paper that King Yan dedicated to you, this time the Donghu army relied on this thing to capture the Yan Kingdom, and the military situation that Yiyang returned to explore, it seems that there is also this thing in the Gushan army."
"Mysterious earth-shattering thunder, falling from the sky from miles apart"
Ji Zhan recalled the panic of the soldiers during the Battle of Yiyang, and whenever the roar sounded, a shiver broke between the two strands, and he wanted to run away.
The kind of firearm that was miles away looked like this, and a thick iron pipe could do it.
It's just that where did Ji Dan get it?
Ji Zhan's face was covered with frost, and he said angrily: "What a waste dares to destroy the heavens!" Frightened, Lao Jin fell to his knees, and cold sweat flowed down his spine.
The sound similar to the earth-shaking thunder must be produced by the mysterious general of Gushan. In the Battle of Gushan, Ji Dan paid the price of 30,000 deaths, and in the end he gained nothing, and he didn't think that the most valuable thing was taken away by Ji Dan.
"Okay, Lone wants to thank Ji Chong, if it weren't for his wolf ambition to plot against Yan Kingdom, this artillery wouldn't have fallen into Lone's hands."
Ji Dan sneered: "Prepare 500,000 stone grains to bring to Nanjun, and bring another 10,000 earth-shattering thunder."
Tell Ji Chong that he is willing to give up his money, and he should not be stingy, even if he changes one for another, and dies with Hu Nu with the earth-shaking thunder, he will drag it out until May. ”
In two months, according to the skills of the Great Zhou craftsmen, the small artillery has long been thoroughly studied and can be cast into finished products. At that time, the well-recuperated Zhou army, coupled with the invincible artillery, will not beat the water dogs against the previous group of Hunu.
"I thought it was a loss-making transaction, but it turned out that Ji Dan had treasures and didn't know it." Ji Zhan smiled and took the drawing into his arms, making sure that Lao Jin had not opened it on the road, and let him leave with confidence.
Lao Jin, who walked out of the door, was blown by the cold wind and couldn't help but shiver. Fang Cai was too dangerous, Ji Zhan actually wanted to kill him and keep it secret, but fortunately he was self-aware and didn't open it halfway to peek.
"It's ruthless, but I don't owe you anything."
Not long after walking out of the East Palace, he disappeared into the bustling city. Half an hour later, a new piece of information fell into the hands of Zheng Sleeve, the princess of Zheng Guo.
March is coming to an end, and the late spring is about to turn to early summer, and the work of the farmland cannot be delayed for a moment. The war-torn state of Qin at the beginning of spring took advantage of the last opportunity to sow seeds, and finally did not delay the agricultural season for a year. In Anyang, where Zhou Wangji borders Yan State, tender seedlings have grown in the ground, but the people fled all the way south with their families until they were blocked by the surging Yongjiang River.
The Donghu army took advantage of Handan County, bypassed the Yan army's defense line, turned around and attacked the Zhou border, and the Zhao family opened the road for the Donghu army to transport grain.
"Ji Chong, the general of Gushan, is ordered to crusade against the Daoless Dusk King."
Ji Chong actually played all the way to Chaoge under the banner of Zhao Zheng, and the Handan Zhao clan and Zhao Zhengtie Alliance have always given priority to cooperation, and the 100,000 troops of Donghu were forced to let go of the road.
Chengzhou Hebei County is now full of wolf smoke, and there is a tendency to spread, it is now the dry season, the water level of the Yongjiang River has dropped, and in some places you can row a small boat to cross the river.
Perhaps it was the threat of the Jiaoshi Division in the Eighth Division of Yin, Ji Chong was worried that the back road had not crossed the river, and the Blue Wolf Legion was constantly moving westward in a line.
It seems that Ji Chong wants to capture all the cities of Chengzhou Hebei, but the Blue Wolf Legion has never divided its troops to garrison, and after getting supplies from the next city, he can rush to the next city.
The tactics of not caring made Zhou Tianzi have a headache, he fought with outsiders in his porcelain shop, and outsiders didn't feel distressed when he broke the altar and jar, and he was going to cry for a good time.
At the court meeting, Zhou Tianzi hated and scolded: "Such a shameless tactic, I don't know if Ji Chong learned it from that scum?" ”
The courtiers were silent, they knew the familiar tactics by heart, but it was inconvenient to say them. Only Zhang Liang, who had just worshiped as a counselor and a doctor, came out to play the right match.
"Back to Your Majesty, these tactics were created by the former Gushan Jun and the current Qin State Prince. The minister had the privilege of reading the "Army Operations Manual" compiled by him, and there were countless strange tactics.
This time, what Ji Chong used was to use war to nurture the war and destroy the enemy's foundation in the 'Fire Word Formula'. At present, in the spring ploughing season, the blue wolf army is moving slowly, and the farmland where it passes is completely destroyed, and the industry and commerce are withered, which can be said to be the foundation is completely destroyed. ”
