Chapter 218: Hiding Eyes
At this time, Shang Ying did not leave South Korea, but stationed troops on the western border of South Korea, and 20,000 troops were stationed at the Korean border. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the tent of the Chinese army at night.
Shang Ying, who was reading the book of war, saw the scout who had just arrived from Hexi.
"Have all the things in Hexi been arranged?" Shang Ying put down the bamboo slip and asked first.
I saw that the soldier still maintained a posture of arching his hands, and his expression was serious: "Back to Daliang to make words, the panoramic view of 700 miles in Hexi has been taken by General Sima." The pontoon bridges and ferries of Linjin Pass have been set up with dark whistles. As far as I know, Wei Hedong has gathered 15,000 foot soldiers! General Sima asked, did you eat these Wei troops in one bite? ”
At present, Wu Ming's army has captured Yiyang, and it is already some distance from Hedong. If it is really as Sima Cuo said, it is not a problem to eat the Wei army in Hedong in one bite.
It's just that Shang Ying didn't answer immediately. Holding his beard in one hand, the two eyes that revealed the red light of the candle flame kept spinning.
"Someone—" The next moment, Shang Ying suddenly shouted outside the tent.
A soldier walked in and arched his hand: "What do you command?" ”
"Has the Wei army ever continued to advance eastward?"
"The latest news, about 50,000 Wei troops have left Yiyang Dongcheng, and it seems that they are heading to Zhengcheng in the east."
Hearing this, the worry on Shang Ying's face instantly eased a little, and then he said to the soldier who walked in just now: "Got it, you can go down." The herald closely monitored the movements of the Wei army. ”
"No—"
After the soldier withdrew, Shang Ying looked at the soldier from Hexi in the dim candlelight, "You can go back and tell General Sima that now that Wei is attacking Han, we are not in a hurry." Otherwise, it is very likely that the Wei army will be led from Korea to our Qin state, and it is good to wait and see what happens now. ”
"No—"
Come to a mountain and watch the tiger fight, and wait until both sides are defeated, or a country is defeated, and then the Qin State is coming forward, so the harvest is not only the land of a country.
The land of Han and Wei had to be divided into some of the Qin state. With such a win-win thing, Shang Ying naturally would not be stupid enough to give up.
According to his ideas and calculations, the Wei army pressed the border and surrounded Xinzheng, and then the Han army stationed in Xincheng had to go back to the rescue.
Thinking about it, Shang Ying has already spread out the marching map, on which the situation in the triangle region of Qin, Korea, and Wei has been vividly remembered, and Shang Yang has a clear understanding of the situation of the Three Kingdoms today through the powerful reconnaissance ability of the Qin army.
In the end, it was a strategy that had been planned for a long time, and it could be said that it had surprised him at this point.
It's just that this accident is good for the Qin State. Shang Ying didn't expect that the Wei State would directly evacuate all the defenders in Hexi to attack Han! This gave the Qin State an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
Originally, he just wanted to lead the army to cross the Yellow River unconsciously, from Hedong to Linjin Pass, and trap the Wei army in Hexi. Incidentally, the elimination of the Hexi Wei army was mainly Wu Ming, a general who was born out of thin air.
didn't want Wu Ming to attack Han by chance, and took away all the Wei defenders in Hexi.
In such a big war between Han and Wei, consuming each other, this kind of thing is naturally very good for the Qin State.
Looking at the map for a long time, Shang Ying's face showed a smile again. If the 50,000 Wei army eats the 20,000 Han troops who came back to help, with the current empty state of Wei Han, the Qin army can still get more than 300 li of land in Korea. On the Wei side, it can even be directly advanced to Anyi, the old capital of Wei. At that time, the east of the Wei State and Hedong will also be in the bag.
With so many benefits, why did the Qin State rush to advance?
Of course, Shang Ying didn't know that the decision to transfer all the defenders was made by Wu Ming alone. Otherwise, he would really have to thank Wu Ming, his sworn enemy.
Although Wu Ming is a general, he can act like this, and he will be in front of King Wei! No, not only the King of Wei, but any monarch in the world would be sentenced to death like this. And it was a terrible death sentence.
It's just that Wu Ming can't take care of so much at this time. Following Wei Guoben is enough to be aggrieved. I am bent on strengthening Wei, but what is the result? King Wei Hui was not wise in the first place. finally made it wiser, and the result came out Wei Shen.
Originally, Wu Ming wanted to take the initiative to send troops to help Qi State get through the difficulties, after all, the alliance was not to make Qi State attract hatred, the most important thing was to win over Qi State.
Stabilize the Qi State, and sincerely take the initiative to align the country once, there will not be too much problem between the two countries in the first three or five years, so that the strength of the Qi State can be caught to resist Qin. If Wei Qi formed an alliance like this, it would be difficult for the rest of the countries to pose a threat to Wei.
As long as the internal law of Wei is changed, in three or five years, as long as there are no natural disasters, it is not a dream to strengthen Wei and follow.
However, Wei Shen's alienation of the Qi State! and credulously believed Shang Ying's words to form an alliance with Qin, put Sima Co back, and refused to reform and change the law, this kind of thing has made Wu Ming a little tired of this era.
If it weren't for the fact that in this era, he was particularly interested in his background and reputation, Wu Ming would have wanted to directly push the Wei regime and establish himself as the king.
As for throwing himself into other countries, Wu Ming's idea was just a flash. Doing things for others will inevitably lead to too many stumbles.
Bai Qi's death, Han Xin's grievances, Yue Fei's sorrow, and the famous generals of later generations are loyal and have a lot of lives. It's not just the red face that has a thin life, but also the loyalty!
Thinking of these things, Wu Ming's interest in switching to another country was much lower. Now it's more about how to feel comfortable in your own heart.
Although he has no feelings for Princess Mei, it was his wedding, and this kind of behavior in South Korea will never be tolerated. In any case, there has to be a lesson.
Now I know that the matter was done by Shang Ying, and I also know why Shang Ying did not return to Qin directly from Hexi, but made a detour to Korea.
Now everything that should be asked for in South Korea is also required! As long as the grain and grass from South Korea arrives, Wu Ming doesn't mind sending a pot of wine to Shang Ying, and it is also an extraordinarily spicy kind.
At this time, in the main city of Yiyang, Wu Ming was also looking at the map. The march must have the right time, the right place, and the right people.
These things, Wu Ming can't grasp the geographical advantages, but the time and people, the boundaries of South Korea have been agreed with South Korea, and Wu Ming's army has never violated the people along the way. Man and nature are occupied.
Then it's time of day. This thing, in Wu Ming's words, depends on who plays yin.
"General Qiyu, the Qin army in Han has been found out, and the banner is Gongsun, and it seems that it is the Qin State Daliang Merchant Martingale (Gongsun Martingale) is good. With 20,000 foot soldiers, they are now garrisoning in the wilderness south of the Korean border city of Naseong-" Liu Yun stepped through the unclosed gate and said.
As soon as her voice fell, Wu Ming suddenly turned around, and the corners of his mouth twitched with a sinister twitch: "I would have thought that the 20,000 Qin army was commanded by that Shang Ying, and this time he won't want to escape-"
For Shang Ying, the old treacherous and cunning master, Wu Ming now hates it very much. No matter how much he values his achievements and how much he reveres him in later generations, there is only hatred in his heart now. If you don't catch Shang Ying, I'm afraid that the revival of Wei will be hopeless.
Whether it was out of personal hatred or in order to keep the King of Wei from being interfered with by the Qin, Shang Ying had to get rid of or control it as soon as possible.
"But--there is one more thing, I hope the general can think about it and make a decision--" Looking at Wu Ming, who was in an excited mood, Liu Yun said hesitantly.
"What?"
"My king ordered to fight the Korean endlessly, but he sent General Jin Yan to lead the 10,000 foot soldiers who stayed in Daliang to rush to Hedong, and now they have converged with the 5,000 foot soldiers of Jin Contempt. The matter of Hexi was suppressed by the two of them, and it was not transmitted back to Daliang, but how to do it, the general must be prepared-"
This is indeed a problem. The land of 700 miles west of the river is gone, don't say it's Wei Shen, it's the old King Wei who can't say it. King Wei Hui's life was to conquer the Quartet.
By now, he has nothing else he wants to keep the inheritance left by his ancestors, and he can rest assured that he can see his ancestors when he takes Hexi back from the hands of Qin!
If the matter of Hexi being occupied by the Qin people was spread back like this, the consequences can be imagined? What should I do?
In particular, Wu Ming's transfer of troops did not go through the consent of the two kings! This time it's really not, it's not the courtiers' dispute like last time, it's not a frame-up.
"I can't care so much, now I will catch Shang Ying first, as long as I catch him, I still can't worry about Hexi?" Wu Ming, who was already filled with anger, did not show any worry. In his opinion, a Shang martingale is much more cost-effective than seven hundred miles west of the river.
To catch this bad thing, Qin Guo has no power at the moment. As for Zhang Yi, he hasn't gone down the mountain yet. When these things are done, I will go to Yunmeng Mountain by myself and dig them up to Wei State.
The following Qin Huiwen Wang loves it, anyway, he doesn't have a headache Wu Ming. It's just that I don't know, after catching Shang Ying, will I make up for the crime of privately mobilizing the army?
Hearing Wu Ming say that, Liu Yun's eyes faintly revealed something, and a trace of light crossed by. Eventually, they all went into seclusion.
On this night, a white dove pierced the night sky and flew into the northeast sky with its wings.
At the end of the ugly hour (three o'clock in the morning), the north gate of Yiyang City was opened, and a group of Wei soldiers died down and embarked on the journey in the dark night. A subtle wooded path leads westward.
This route is the route that Wu Ming ordered Zhang Meng to personally lead the scout army to sweep after seeing Shen Buharm and returning to the city.
Everywhere you pass is hidden, and there is also the surveillance of the Wei army scouts, which can be said to be very safe.
The procession was like a long dragon, and roughly speaking, there were 45,000 people. The Wei army originally consisted of only 50,000 men, excluding the casualties of the siege. Only 48,000 remained.
And the news sent back by the scouts of the Qin army was that more than 40,000 Wei troops left Yiyang and went straight to Zhengcheng, the capital of Korea!
In the afternoon of the next day.
In the main camp tent of the Qin army outside Luo City. A Qin State scout hurried in.
"According to Daliangzao, the Wei army is less than twenty miles from Zhengcheng. But he set up camp and did not continue to move forward, and when his subordinates met, they should be preparing to impress Zheng Cheng and attack suddenly in the middle of the night! ”
"Less than twenty miles? Hmm-" Shang Ying smiled and said to himself, and after a while, he nodded slightly, "With only a lack of 50,000 troops, it is difficult to break through Zhengcheng-but it is not impossible, attacking late at night, the chance of breaking the city should be greater." ”
After asking and answering himself, Shang Ying looked up at the soldier and said, "The Han army in Xincheng, is there any movement?" Wei Jun is like this, and King Han will not be without news. ”
"The Han army of Xincheng has learned the news and is on their way to Zhengcheng-"
"Okay, then, there's another good show to watch—" At this moment, Shang Ying's face showed a sincere smile, "Go down, continue to monitor the movements of the Wei and Han armies, and if there is new news, come back immediately and report it." ”
"No—"
……
It was late at night.
The Wei army, which was under the watchful eye of the Qin army, had already begun to move closer to Zhengcheng.
But after reaching less than a mile outside Zhengcheng, the so-called army of more than 40,000 stopped moving. He even began to set up camp again, as if he had not come here to besiege the city.
It wasn't until late at night that the Wei army divided its troops and surrounded the four gates of Zhengcheng.
Wei and Han were at war, and the scouts of the two countries outside Zhengcheng had already been densely packed. Therefore, the scouts of the Qin State did not dare to get too close. The army pressed the border, and the entire Zhengcheng area had become a forbidden area.
It's just that what the Qin Army scouts don't know is.
Of the more than 40,000 Wei troops, only 3,000 were real Wei soldiers, led by Zhang Meng, the deputy general of Wei.
The rest of the people, where are the soldiers, but the Korean people holding the banner of the Wei State.
There are no 50,000 people, but only 30,000, but on the way to the march, the distance is far away, and the Qin army scouts can't get too close. With so many people, it would be impossible to count the heads. Marching, not standing to make you count.
The number of people can only be judged from experience from the phalanx of the great army. And there is actually a big gap in the middle of this team. It's just that from a long distance from the outside, it's not easy to spot with Ben.
There were no high mountains in the places they passed, and it was impossible for the Qin army scouts to have a bird's-eye view from a high place. Therefore, the news that came back to Shang Ying was that more than 40,000 Wei troops poured out of the nest and went straight to Zheng Cheng.
At the moment, although the army is besieging the city. But outside the north gate of Zhengcheng, Zhang Mengzheng was holding the hilt of his sword in one hand, while watching the Korean people transport the agreed five hundred gold and grain from Zhengcheng little by little.
This is a ploy of Wu Ming this time. not only accepted the compensation from Korea, but also diverted the main force of the Qin army's scouts, anyway, as long as the Qin army believed that the Wei army was already outside Zhengcheng.
Even if the rest of the things were prepared for a month, and the Wei army would only besiege and attack outside Zheng City for a month, Shang Ying would not doubt it.
After all, besieging the city, waiting for the resources in the city to run out, and waiting for the people in the city to open the city gate on their own is a bloodless book. Especially when besieging the capitals of other countries.
As for the Han army evacuated from Xincheng, it was a temporary team composed of 5,000 soldiers and slaves from Xincheng. The same effect is to hide people's eyes and ears.
The remaining Han army fulfilled the agreement reached with Wu Ming and cooperated with the Wei army to attack Qin. Fortunately, he won Shang Yang in one fell swoop.
