Chapter 157: Zhang Han's defeat is achieved

Time flies, months pass in the blink of an eye, from winter to summer.

In the past few months, taking the prestige of the Zhao army, Zang Di and Wuchen in the north have not come to trouble, Zang Di is taking a step closer to stabilizing the foundation of the Yan State, and Wuchen is also suffering from a big loss after a previous defeat, and is recruiting troops and horses, and there is constant friction with Wuchen and the northern army in the west.

Of course, Zhao Jun is also happy to be like this, a few months, let him completely control the two counties of Dongjiao and Langya, and the empty Jibei County is also in the hands of Zhao Jun, and the people's livelihood of the three counties began to gradually prosper, and now Langya is Sima Xin and the original Langya County Shou Cao An is responsible, Dongjiao County is Dong Peng to assist Li Xun, and Jibei County is handed over to Lu Ze and a group of scribes to govern.

Sima Xin, this guy has been completely loyal to Zhao Jun since Zhao Jun's successive victories, and besides, he doesn't dare to have different ambitions, Listening to the Wind and the organization under the command of Bai Ying are not only good at detecting the enemy, but also penetrating officials from all over the country, maybe he just made a move, and his head moved the next day-

On this day, Zhao Jun was reading and practicing martial arts in the study, and the government affairs of the four counties were much heavier than the original one county, but there was a cadre of civil and military affairs in charge, and the government affairs of the four counties were already on the right track, so except for some major events that needed to be decided by himself, at other times, he was basically a hands-off shopkeeper.

"Lord, it's not good, Zhang Han has been defeated, and the whole army has been wiped out!" Suddenly, Zhou Chang hurriedly ran in and said in an anxious tone.

The news of the Zhao army has always been in charge of the wind listeners and the shadows under the command of the white shadows, but they are mostly biased towards spying on secrets, and the news of the battles between the various princes is sent by Zhou Chang Scout detectives, and the news can be reported urgently as soon as possible, because it is a single line, the speed is faster than that of the shadow and the wind listener.

"What?" Zhao Jun, who was bowing down to write calligraphy in front of the case, was startled, his face changed suddenly, and the brush in his hand slipped on the case.

Zhao Jun slowly straightened up, took a deep breath, and his face was calm and could not see a trace of fluctuation.

Zhou Chang knew Zhao Jun's habits, and at this time, Zhao Jun didn't speak just waiting for him to say the following.

"Master Hou, this is the news four days ago, at the beginning Zhang Han also had the upper hand, and even booby-trapped Xiang Liang, but later Xiang Yu killed King Chu Huai to unify the combat power of the Chu army and attack Zhang Han head-on.

General Zhang Han couldn't resist it, coupled with Liu Bang's continuous sneak attacks, and finally the two coalition forces broke through the camp, and now there are only less than 10,000 defeated troops left, and they are retreating to our Linzi in a hurry. ”

Zhao Jun nodded, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu's alliance was not monolithic at the beginning, and they were even suspicious of each other, so Zhang Han could still block them with his own ability and many elite soldiers and horses.

But killing Xiang Liang is equivalent to really touching Xiang Yu's reverse scales, Xiang Yu is furious, naturally he will not stay behind and go all out to deal with Qin Jun, which directly leads to the disappearance of the suspicion of the two.

In this case, the strength of Liu Xiang's alliance is naturally unprecedentedly strong, and even if Zhang Han can, he can't withstand the full attack of Xiang Yu and Liu Bang.

Therefore, the defeat in this situation also seems to be expected.

Thinking about this, Zhao Jun said in a deep voice: "Well, you go and inform the military advisor and Mr. Kuaicher, as well as the generals to the council hall." ”

Since Zhang Han has been defeated, the next step is to consider the impact of this incident on himself and the next strategic deployment.

Thinking of the success of the research and development of those two things, and the results of the expansion of power in the past few months, a sneer appeared on the corner of Zhao Jun's mouth, Liu Bang, Xiang Yu, come on, I am waiting for you.

"No." Zhou Chang hugged his fists, then turned around and strode away, he also knew the importance of this matter, and he didn't dare to delay for a moment-

Wei Yuzi and the others received the notice, and soon arrived in the meeting hall in the middle of the waiting house, left and right, Han Xin was impressively in the ranks, for a few months, Han Xin's talent has impressed everyone, although he has not officially led the troops to fight, but he has been able to handle military affairs skillfully and in an orderly manner.

In the end, Zhao Jun, under the escort of the iron guard, came to the outside of the hall, entered the hall alone, walked to the main seat and sat down.

"General Zhang Han's defeat, presumably Zhou Chang has already told you, the form is not good for us." Zhao Jun said slowly.

Everyone nodded after hearing this, Zhang Han's hundreds of thousands of troops were defeated, except for Wang Ben and Li Youjun who guarded the pass, there was only one of them in Kwantung, and they had to face all the rebels in the world.

Tang Li opened his mouth and said: "My lord, I'm afraid that Xiang Yu and Liu Bang's next target is us, and also, the Wuchen and Zang Di in the north had their own scruples before, so they were at peace with us, but once Xiang Yu and Liu Bang were killed, they might not join forces with the two to deal with us." ”

Yu Ziqi also followed: "What General Tang said is that Xiang Yu and Liu Bang have a lot of grievances with the lord, and Han Guang and Wuchen regard us as a thorn in the roar, and the possibility of their alliance is extremely high. ”

"What are you afraid of, we now have nearly 120,000 elite soldiers and horses, if they dare to come, Cao Ye will cut off their dog's head first." Cao Wuxian said with a disdainful face, after subduing the three counties, the soldiers and horses were unified and reorganized, in addition to the 6,000 city defense soldiers and local government services necessary for each county, there were 120,000 soldiers and horses, all of which were a mix of new and old soldiers and horses.

Guan Ying also said confidently: "Even if they have more soldiers and horses than us, they must not be as elite as us, and our soldiers are at least one enemy and three." ”

Although in the past few months, the newly recruited soldiers and horses have only undergone basic training, but because the soldiers are in excellent physical condition, and they have the original foundation, and the veterans lead the new recruits, the combat effectiveness has not decreased much.

"That's it, what's more, there are those two things, and it's guaranteed that they will be killed." Hu Hai said with great confidence.

Yingbu also nodded first, obviously quite convinced of the combat effectiveness of the soldiers and horses under his command, and was not afraid of the siege of counter-soldiers from all walks of life.

"You're all right." Zhao Jun nodded, and said with some worry: "But with the courage of Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, they may not attack us directly, I am afraid that they will attack Xianyang, and now the northern army is completely contained by Wuchen and the Xiongnu, General Wang Ben and Li Youbing are divided into two places, once the two attack Xianyang, I am afraid that they will not be able to stop." ”

Everyone frowned after hearing this, and it was obvious that there was something in Zhao Jun's words.

Tang Li guessed: "The lord is afraid that if the rebel army attacks Xianyang, the emperor will order us to rescue Xianyang and give up Linzi?" ”

Zhao Jun nodded, secretly agreeing.

Kuaiche frowned at this time and said: "As far as I know, Xiang Yu has a strategist named Fan Zeng is extremely not simple, and Zhang Liang and Chen Ping under Liu Bang are both resourceful, they obviously know that the lord is strong, and he will definitely not attack directly, so the guess of the lord is very likely." ”

Zhao Jun was silent, and now he was worried about this situation.

At this time, Wei Yu suddenly smiled and said, "Master Hou doesn't have to worry too much, you might as well strike first." ”

"Preemptive?" Everyone was stunned.

Zhao Jun guessed: "Does the military advisor want us to attack Liu Bang and Xiang Yu first?" But once this happens, Wuchen and Zang Di will inevitably take the opportunity to attack our three counties, besides, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu are extremely difficult characters, and their soldiers and horses are also elite, it will be difficult to achieve victory like the last time, it is too risky. ”

"Hehe, I didn't say I was going to attack Liu Bang and Xiang Yu." Wei Yu smiled and said, "Let General Han talk about it." ”

Hearing this, everyone turned their attention to Han Xin, who had been silent.

Han Xin hugged his fists and said with a smile: "Does the military advisor mean to rush ahead of Liu Xiang's actions and directly attack Wuchen and Zang Di, so that even if the emperor asks the lord to rescue Xianyang, the lord will have an excuse not to go, and the power of Wuchen and Zang Di is not strong, if the lord attacks them, they can play in the applause and advance and retreat freely, even if Xianyang is really in an emergency, the lord can also save the master." ”

After hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up, and finally looked at Wei Xin, who nodded with a smile, proving that Han Xin was right.

Zhao Junxi said: "This is a good idea, so let's do it." ”

Han Xin said again: "If the lord attacks the two, he can seize Julu County with lightning speed, Julu is Zang Tu in the east, and Wuchen is in the west, if the lord occupies this place, the two will inevitably flock here, and the lord occupies the territory and defends, which is equivalent to having the initiative." ”

"Isn't it all broken?" The baby asked.

Han Xin shook his head and said: "No need, these two people are not heroes, under the combat power, we can solve them together, and it will also save the consumption of food, grass and time." ”

"Yes, these two people haven't been taken seriously." Zhao Jun was satisfied with Han Xin's self-confidence.

In the end, everyone discussed for a while, and decided to raise troops in three days, and informed Yingbu of Jibei County to seize Julu first, and then the soldiers and horses would set off from Linzi. (To be continued.) )
