Chapter 128: The Battle of Pingyin

The great river is surging, surging from west to east. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the sound of the great river, several large ships anchored at the sandbar in the middle of the river.

The autumn breeze is bleak, the river is surging, and the white reeds on the sandbar are sandwiched with some withered yellow colors. What an autumn picture.

A short time later, a fleet of boats enters from outside the frame, and the two fleets are leaning on either side of the sandbar, and people on both sides change boats and board the sandbar.

In the middle of a field of reeds, a clearing has already been cleared.

Wei Wuji saluted from afar and said, "I've seen the king." ”

Wu Guang also saluted and said, "Don't come unharmed, your lordship." ”

Lou Jing said: "Two please." ”

This meeting was initiated by Lou Jing.

Wei Wuji was unwilling to risk his life again and went to HN to visit Wu Guang, and there was no possibility of subservience to Wei Wuji as Wu Guang, so the place where the two sides met was the most suitable place on the river.

This sandbar is the meeting place chosen by Lou Jing.

Lou Jing had already gone to the sandbar in advance and arranged the place. Wait for the two of them to come over.

At this moment, the two sides sat on the left and right. Lou Jing sat in the middle, and the two sides fought against each other. After a few pleasantries, Lou Jing got to the point.

Time is extremely precious to Zhou Wen.

If it weren't for the battle of Caoyang, the Qin army would also have suffered casualties, and it would take time to recuperate, I'm afraid that Zhang Han would have already begun to attack the city at this time, and the small city of Michi was really not enough to rely on.

And the Chu army itself has a lot of problems.

The Chu army was originally in a hurry, defeated again and again, and its morale was already gone. There is no baggage, although some of them have been replenished in the small city of Michi, but it is a drop in the bucket for the army of more than 100,000 people. Not enough at all.

In other words, even if Zhang Han did not attack, the situation of the Chu army did not allow it to be delayed.

Lou Jing said: "King, Your Majesty. The general is in a critical situation, and he also asked the two to make a quick decision and send reinforcements as soon as possible. ”

Wei Wuji said: "I have already given you an answer to the reinforcements, but I don't know how the general will reply?" ”

Wu Guang also pricked up his ears to listen to Lou Jing's answer.

The more they know about Zhang Han's department, the more jealous they are of Zhang Han's strength.

It's not that they think that the strength of the Lishan prisoners is very strong, it's wrong, they don't care who the Qin army is composed of. Instead, he was afraid of the Qin army's armor and equipment.

The first emperor collected the soldiers of the world and cast them as the twelve golden men, which was only a few years of hard work. Therefore, in addition to the Qin army in the Kwantung region, it is impossible to find large-scale armor and equipment.

For the Kwantung Rebels, armor and equipment were always a big problem.

But that's not the case in Guanzhong.

As the base camp of the Qin State, not to mention anything else, it is the armor and equipment accumulated over the past dynasties, which is enough to equip an army.

And the Lishan Army is such a well-equipped army.

If compared with the same kind, among the guards, only the equipment of the Puyang veterans whom Wei Wuji regarded as the meat of his heart could be compared with the Lishan army, but it was only a comparison. The newly recruited troops in Hanoi do not need to be compared.

Most of the equipment of Puyang veterans is the inventory of Dongjun plus the armor and equipment created and captured by Wei Wuji, which can be said to be equivalent to the equipment of the national soldiers of Qinguo County.

There were also captures while in Hanoi, but Wei Wuji greatly expanded his army in Hanoi. It would be nice to have the captured armor and equipment distributed among tens of thousands of people, and to ensure that all of them were not unarmed.

Some troops in Hanoi are just armed with guns ---- their guns.

This is also one of the reasons why Wei Wuji is very strict with the Puyang veterans, and every captain has personally seen it, and some Hanoi soldiers don't even have a glance.

Comparatively. The equipment of the Lishan Army is more than that of Zhou Wen, Wei Wuji, and Wu Guang combined.

This can't help but make them jealous.

The more jealous he was, the more Wu Guang could understand the internal reason why Wei Wuji placed the decisive battle in Pingyin.

The place of the decisive battle is placed in Pingyin, not based on the battle, but on the defense.

Behind Pingyin is the famous Gudu, the so-called Mengjin is also. At the beginning, King Wu crossed the river from this place. It is also an important place for historical conquests.

Pingyin is backed by Mengjin, relying on Hanoi, with the big river as the thoroughfare, plus Ao Cang in hand, Ao Cang's grain, you can go directly to Meng Jin along the river. With the support of Aocang's grain, the land of Pingyin is enough to support hundreds of thousands of troops stationed.

And so it goes. Only the three armies of Zhou Wen, Wu Guang, and Wei Wuji converged, and the high base did not fight. First of all, it is invincible, and the enemy can be defeated and avoid its edge.

Although Wei Wuji didn't say this meaning explicitly, Wu Guang had also been in contact with Wei Wuji a few times, but he could guess it.

So Wu Guang was very concerned about what Zhou Wen meant.

Lou Jing said: "The king, the king, the general means, the meaning of the king, although it is good, but it is almost impossible for the army to withdraw from the Qin army, so ---" The words have not yet been finished, but smart people can hear Lou Jing's unfinished meaning from the words.

Wu Guang immediately said: "Do you want us to take the initiative to attack the Qin army to relieve the siege of the general?" Wu Guang's tone was polite, but it was true.

Zhou Wen's army is the main force of the Chu State, and it can be said that Chen Sheng has placed too much hope on this army, and he can also invest too much money. Even though Zhou Wen has lost in a row now, in terms of strength, Zhou Wen's department is still above Wu Guang and Wei Wuji.

Even if Wu Guang and Wei Wuji joined forces to go west, it was impossible to defeat Zhang Han and relieve Zhou Wen from the siege. If Zhou Wen had to do this, Wu Guang would probably break up in two and find a way to keep warm with Wei Wuji. Just as Zhou Wen had been killed by the Qin army.

Lou Jing said: "That's not what the general meant. ”

Wei Wuji said: "Mr. Lou, please don't sell Guanzi, please have something to say." ”

Lou Jing said: "The general has spread the news that the three armies will be in Pingyin to the Qin army. ”

Wei Wuji's eyebrows were raised, he slapped it on the desk, and said angrily: "Zhou Wen wants to surrender to Qinhu? ”

Wu Guang naturally glared angrily, Wu Guang and the armor soldiers brought by Wei Wuji were furious, and they pressed their hands on the sword one after another, looking at Lou Jing angrily, as long as Wu Guang or Wei Wuji gave an order, Lou Jing would be chopped into meat paste every minute and second.

Lou Jing was unconscious, and said to himself: "The Qin army is strong, the armor is sharp, the soldiers are brave, Zhang Han has the qualifications of a famous general, no less than Bai Qi, Wang Qian." The soldiers are well fed and have no worries. And your three armies were hastily recruited, the armor was not ready, and the sergeants were not recruited. With the intention of the general, the combined army of the three armies and Zhang Han fought in battle, and it was feared that there would be defeat and no victory. If you want to defeat the army of tigers and wolves of the Qin State, you must make surprise troops and use extraordinary methods. ”

Wei Wuji said: "I don't know, what kind of strange soldiers has the general prepared, and what extraordinary methods will he use?" ”

Lou Jing didn't speak, but looked left and right.

Wei Wuji and Wu Guang understood, and with a wave of his hand, the armor soldiers around him all retreated neatly to a few zhang away, and in the autumn wind, Lou Jing lowered his voice and told Wu Guang and Wei Wuji about Zhou Wen's plan one by one.

Wei Wuji's original flat face melted little by little, and he was shocked and incredible, turning into admiration and sympathy, and when Lou Jing finished speaking, Wei Wuji couldn't help but say: "Why should the general be like this, things haven't come to that point yet, why not follow my strategy, whether it is a strong man breaking his wrist, or a golden cicada coming out of his shell, withdrawing his subordinates from Michi, the three armies are stubbornly defending Pingyin, waiting for change, and now that the Kwantung group is rising, I don't believe that Zhang Han can drag it down." Wouldn't it be better? ”

Lou Jing said: "The general said, King Chen first raised the banner of righteousness, advocating the world to oppose Qin, for the Qin must be removed, and the elite soldiers of Chu are all here, once the Qin army attacks Pingyin, the people will be left to confront the division, so that the elite division will go south and attack Chu, from Heluo to Chen County all the way, there is no army, and the Qin army cannot be stopped." If the general avoids the war, King Chen is in danger. The general would never do that. ”

As soon as these words came out, Wu Guang and Wei Wuji were silent for a while, Wu Guang felt a lot of emotion in his heart, even though he was dissatisfied with Chen Sheng, but at this moment, he saw that there were such loyal ministers under Chen Sheng. For a while, all kinds of flavors came to my heart, and I didn't know whether it was joy or sorrow.

Wei Wuji never thought in his heart that Zhou Wen was the reason to choose this path that was almost lifeless for him. I sighed slightly in my heart, within ten steps, there will be faithfulness, and today I know that what I said is true.

Lou Jing said: "Two, you also fully understand the general's thoughts, but you don't know whether the two of you will follow or not in this game." ”

It's a big gamble, and it's about the world.
