There was no war on the southern front, which is the shape south of Weishui today. Han and Zhao had a tacit understanding that they only sent a small group of scouts to reconnoiter the enemy's situation and spy on the news, and the two sides kept fighting each other, but a battle of more than 1,000 people never broke out. It seems that neither Han nor Zhao has any intention of changing the current situation, and both sides only want to keep the well water from the river and contain each other.

Qin's great victory in Hedong encouraged Qi and Chu, and the reason why there was no Zhao was because Lian Po's army still did not make much progress after fighting with the Han army led by Meng Fu for half a month. For the Qin State, the Zhao State is jealous; No, there is envy and jealousy. Zhao Guo wished that Qin and South Korea would fight to the death, rather than that now Qin has the upper hand in Hedong County, and South Korea has lost its troops.

The 200,000 Zhao troops were not allowed to advance in Hanoi, and the casualties of the Korean army were greater every day, but the Zhao army was obviously more uncomfortable as the attacking side. When the war was at its most intense, the 100,000 troops of Zhao State, which had not moved for a long time, appeared. Zhao Hao led 100,000 troops and stormed the Korean Shangdang.

Although Zhao Guo gathered heavy troops on the Wu'an side from the beginning, trying to create the false impression that Zhao Guo intended to attack Shangdang through Shiyi, the South Korean side never relaxed the threat from the direction of Jingcheng. Not only because Zhao Hao became famous here in history, but also because South Korea came not long ago, a thousand miles of attack, if Zhao Guo painted a scoop with a gourd, South Korea would be smiling and generous.

Therefore, Zhao Hao's army and the city did not panic South Korea, but on the contrary, made South Korea breathe a sigh of relief. You know, the most terrifying thing is not how strong the enemy is, but the powerful enemy hiding in the shadows and not knowing when to give you a fatal blow. Now that the 300,000 troops of Zhao have all appeared, what South Korea needs to do is to see the move. Of course, there is no denying it. Zhao's attack on Shangdang caused a relative strain on South Korea's forces in Shangdang County, but it was always better than the days of fear.

Hadong-gun, Kasaka.

The mountains are like the sea, the remnant sun is like blood, and it is approaching early winter. Heaven and earth are gloomy. After twenty days of strong attack, this pass standing on the bank of the river finally fell into the hands of the Qin army. Bai Qi climbed to the top of the city, looking into the distance, without sorrow or joy, and the captain behind him was also silent, standing respectfully aside.

The price of the Qin army to take this pass was not insignificant, and after paying more than 10,000 casualties, the Qin army was able to unexpectedly take this seemingly impossible city under the help of the wealthy clans in the city. The reason why I say it is unexpected. It was because of the stubborn resistance of the Korean army that caused huge casualties to the Qin army, which made many Qin generals retreat. Pu Han, which has only 5,000 garrisons, has shown the Qin army the tenacity of the Han army, if it were not for the fact that the Han army occupied Pu Han for a long time and did not have time to completely regain the hearts of the people, if it were not for the Qin army's strong attack day and night and did not give the Han army a chance to breathe, maybe it would have been a different ending.

In the past 20 days, the reinforcements of the South Korean army have not shown their traces for a long time, and Bai Qi knows that South Korea has taken the initiative to give up a small half of Hedong County, even if this small half of Hedong County occupies most of the population of Hedong County. Han Jun also gave up without hesitation. All the towns know it, and Kasaka knows it. Yang Jin knew, Feng Ling knew, they were abandoned, and the Qin army wanted to use this to persuade the defenders of these cities to surrender, but the response was a rain of arrows and rolling logs. Annoyed and angry, the Qin army was naturally willing to fulfill the loyalty of the Han army, so. One city after another was stormed by the Qin army. The number of 100,000 Qin troops is too much, compared to this, the total of 20,000 Han troops in eight cities is really insufficient, but even if they are isolated, none of the Korean troops choose to surrender. None of the South Korean soldiers chose to live on their knees.

In just one month, the 100,000 Qin army was divided into three routes, conquered eight cities, and expanded the land for 200 miles, which is not a speed! The annihilation of more than 20,000 Korean troops is also a fruitful achievement, and it is a rare big victory for Qin against South Korea in recent years, but considering that the Korean army was caught off guard this time, and considering that the Qin army also paid more than 40,000 casualties, such a victory is not disastrous.

Bai Qi's heart is very heavy, South Korea's strong man broke his wrist to make Bai Qi very surprised, originally Bai Qi thought that after Bai Qi learned that his army had invaded Hedong, the storm kite would definitely lead the army to aid Yangjin and Pusaka, and he could just encircle the point to send reinforcements, and the way of the field battle with small casualties was to eliminate the Korean living force in Hedong County in a war. Unexpectedly, the violent kite took the initiative to shrink his forces, abandoned all the cities to the west of Anyi, and put on a posture of defending Anyi.

At such a time, Bai Qi could naturally rely on the superiority in strength to go straight to Anyi and create an opportunity for a decisive battle with the main force of the South Korean army, but this was destined to be a quick and unrealistic tactic, and once the South Korean army refused to fight, it would inevitably enter a stalemate. At this time, the transportation of grain and grass from Shangjun to Anyi would become a great hidden danger for the Qin army. Therefore, Bai Qi can only fight steadily and steadily, taking down the cities along the way to Anyi one by one. It took only one month to capture eight cities and more than 20,000 Korean troops, which was already the greatest result of Bai Qi's series of tricks.

Bai Qi's second miscalculation was the tenacity of the Korean army, among the 20,000 Korean troops that were eliminated, many were young recruits, if it was a field battle, because of the problem of military literacy, Bai Qi thought that the Qin army could be one as two, but in the siege war, the gap between the two sides narrowed a lot. The Korean army, which had the idea of death, almost dragged down the Qin army, 30,000 Qin troops were killed in battle, and more than 10,000 Qin soldiers were seriously injured, among them, more than 5,000 casualties who would say goodbye to the battlefield forever even if they were cured, which was the price behind the victory of the Qin army.

Two days ago, the initial surprise soldiers, the 20,000 Qin troops of Wu County, successfully retreated to the foot of Shimen Mountain under the cover of a partial division sent by Bai Qi, and set up a camp in the mountains. At the time of departure, the 30,000 Qin army defeated 20,000 Korean boat divisions in Shaanxi County, killing 10,000 people, and fought with more than 40,000 Korean troops in Wu County, with more than 10,000 casualties, and finally returned to Shimen Mountain alive The Qin army was only 10,000. At this point, the 150,000 Qin army commanded by Bai Qi is now less than 100,000 people, of which 20,000 are in Yin and Jin as backups, and they can cross the river to come to reinforcements at any time, and now there are still 80,000 Qin troops in Hedong County.

The strength of the Han army was undoubtedly less, and after losing 30,000 people, only 40,000 of the original 70,000 troops in Hedong remained, but fortunately, the reinforcements from Xinzheng arrived in Anyi in time through Shangdang County. Today, the Han army on the front line of Anyi has also reached 70,000 people, considering that even if the Qin army concentrates a large army to attack Anyi, it will need to stay a considerable number of troops to defend the eight newly occupied cities. Therefore, in fact, the strength of Qin and South Korea is almost the same. In terms of morale, it is natural that the Qin army is more up, but in terms of geography and harmony, the Han army undoubtedly has the upper hand. Nowadays, the two sides of the examination school are their own command and adaptability. White up VS Storm Kite. It seems that the Qin army has a better chance of winning.

However, it is suspicious that the Qin army has not moved since occupying eight cities, and it seems that the Qin army is already very satisfied with the current situation.

Qin State, Xianyang.

Although the sky in November has not yet snowed, it has become a little cold, and the charcoal fire burning in the Xianyang Palace seems to be the season, and at this moment, all the leading figures of the Qin State have gathered in the Xianyang Palace. Counsel on state affairs.

When it comes to state affairs, for the Qin State at this time, there is naturally no greater state affairs than the war against Han. With the successive victories of the Qin army in Hedong, Qin's huge war machine was completely committed to the Hedong side. More and more grain and grass, cold clothing, weapons and other materials through the Yin and Jin Dynasty to Hedong, the messengers who pass back and forth the military information are endless, every day, Xianyang City from the officials and nobles down to the common people, the most talked about is where the Qin army conquered. What results have been achieved, and how panicked should South Korea be.

This time the victory in Hedong made the sky that had been hazy for several years finally see the light of day again. The old Qin people have hope for life again. As long as this victory continues, everyone's life will definitely get better and better. Military merit means wealth and more land to support the family, which is no wonder that there are many jokes in Xianyang this month.

Unlike the simple ideas of the common people, the dignitaries and dignitaries in the Xianyang Palace were not deceived by the superficial illusion of victory. On the battlefield in Hedong, the Qin State did have the upper hand. The battle seems to be under the control of the Qin State, but this does not mean that the Qin State can take it lightly and sit back and relax. Now, what the monarchs and ministers of the Qin State are worried about is the battle report that Bai Qi has just received.

The casualties of 50,000 were exchanged for the sacrifice of nearly 40,000 Korean troops, a price for the Qin State as the attacking side. It's not unacceptable, and even, if the Qin State attacks Korea alone, this is already an unprecedented and flawless victory!

But the current shape is not, it is said that the four countries of Qin, Zhao, Qi, and Chu will jointly attack South Korea, but more than a month has passed, and the State of Qi is completely in a state of joining in the fun, and the State of Chu is powerless, and it can only scratch the itch and not pose much of a threat to South Korea. The Zhao State, which originally had high hopes, was blocked by the 100,000 Han troops in Chaoge, and the 100,000 Zhao troops looked at the precipitous Yan and were helpless. If it continues to develop in this form, the four countries' invasion of Korea will become a one-man show of one country, the Qin State. South Korea has increased its troops, and it is said that the second wave of 50,000 troops will depart from Sinzheng in a short time. It seems that South Korea is clearly determined to defend Anyi and fight to the death with the Qin army. According to this battle loss ratio, South Korea can completely consume alive the 100,000 troops that Bai Qi's men can mobilize.

The loss of 150,000 yuan was bearable to South Korea, but the state of Qin could not afford it. The ultimate goal of the Qin State was to gain both people and land, not to gain land and lose people. Therefore, now the Qin State is hesitant whether to continue to fight this war like this.

Naturally, the fight must be fought, but the way of fighting needs to be changed, otherwise, the huge casualty ratio is a pain that the Qin State cannot bear. The current shape is that the Qin State used all its strength, the Zhao State left a force, and the Chu State seemed to have become the same as the Qi State after the Yue State sent troops, completely watching the fire from the other side and joining in the fun. If Qin wants to change this situation, it is nothing more than to let Qi, Chu, and Zhao go all out, especially Qi, only in this way can South Korea really take care of one and lose the other, instead of pointing the finger at itself and carrying it to the death like now.

"Your Majesty! The minister thought that if we wanted to reduce the loss of our Great Qin, the most critical point was to care about the Qi State. Qi was timid when he was in battle, looking forward and looking backwards, and the war was fought for more than a month, and only thousands of people were killed in the battle, which shows that his wait-and-see meaning is very strong. The State of Chu is constrained by the Yue State, and it is feared that the State of Qi will take advantage of the fire to rob, so it is understandable that it will not dare to exert its strength for the time being. If Qi was willing to really attack the Han army, the state of Chu would inevitably rejoice, and the shape would inevitably turn sharply. South Korea uses troops in Dong County and Dang County, and Hedong will inevitably abandon it, and Wu Anjun should be able to pass on Hedong. Prime Minister Wei Ran said.

The ministers said one after another that the biggest reason why the four countries fell into the current predicament was that the pressure on South Korea from the direction of Qi was too small. After the state of Chu, which came out first, was hit by half of Li Mu's army, he followed the example of the state of Qi and waited to see the situation, just waiting for Qin and Zhao to open up the situation. This influence is too bad, if the Qi State does not make changes, the Four Kingdoms will become Qin and Zhao Han.

Zhao had the intention of expanding his territory, but the Han army in Hanoi used a series of advanced defense equipment. Let the Zhao army be in a dilemma. The direction of Shangdang is limited by the terrain, and the army cannot be deployed lightly, so that South Korea can fight more with less but not at a disadvantage. Therefore, as Wei Ran said, if you want to break the situation, the most important thing is Qi Guo.

King Qin's jaw. sighed: "The widow doesn't know, it's just that it's better to ask for others than for yourself." The lord of Qi was suspicious, and he led the troops after victory, trying to protect himself, which was also expected by the widow. There were 200,000 Qi troops and 200,000 Chu troops, and the 400,000 troops under Li Mu did not dare to act rashly after all. If South Korea dared to mobilize the main force under Li Mu to rush to Hedong, the few people did not believe it, and Qi and Chu would be indifferent. This is our Daqin's chance! According to the widow. Hedong has no danger to defend, and the widow intends to transfer the guard captain Wang Jian to lead 50,000 troops to aid Hedong, and take Hedong with dignified soldiers. ”

The ministers immediately discussed, and what King Qin said was also a way. Since Qin wanted to reduce the cost, it would either force Korea to divide its troops. Either additional troops, among other things. There is no good way! By the time Wang Qian's 50,000-strong army arrived in Hedong, the size of the Qin army would reach 150,000, while the Han army would only have more than 70,000 men. If the Han army is scattered in various cities, then the Qin army will be broken individually; If the Han army is concentrated in Anyi, it is also in line with the Qin state's wishes, and the Qin army can besiege Anyi. Slowly. However, if this is the case, the strength of the Qin State is a little nervous.

Based on such an idea, Prime Minister Wei Ran considered his tone and responded: "Your Majesty, now our Great Qin has only 450,000 available soldiers. 50,000 in Longxi County to guard against Yueshi, 50,000 in the north to guard against the Xiongnu, 30,000 to guard Lantian, 20,000 to guard Tongguan, 50,000 to guard Hanzhong, if you mobilize another 50,000 troops to aid Hedong, only 50,000 troops can be mobilized. Scattered to various cities in the four counties, there are only 20,000 people left in the army near Xianyang that can be driven by the king, is this number too small? ”

"Yes! Your Majesty! Xianyang is Wangji, if the army is empty, I am afraid that it will be taken advantage of by Xiaoxiao. Zong Zheng Yingqu also seconded the proposal.

As soon as this statement was opened, there were seconders, and there were those who shook their heads and remained silent. Obviously, there are people among the ministers who disagree with Wei Ran and Yingqu. But because of the prestige of the two, they didn't dare to speak out.

Keqing Lu Buwei looked at it in his eyes and smiled slightly, but he got up and said: "Prime Minister, Lord Zongzheng, the minister thinks that it is a clever plan to mobilize Lord Weiwei Wang to go to Hedong!" As for the emptiness of Xianyang that the two adults said, there is nothing to worry about! ”

King Qin was noncommittal, a smile flashed from the corner of his eyes, and he waited with interest for Lu Buwei's next remarks. Seeing this, Lü Buwei was even more sure that he had bet on the right treasure, and said with confidence: "Guanzhong, the land of Sisai, is the foundation of my Great Qin, and now Tongguan, Yaoguan, Xiaoguan, and Dasanguan are all heavily guarded, and Qin and Zhao are on good terms. This is just as it is not easy for Han to defeat Qin, and it is also difficult for Qin to defeat Han. Wu Anjun was a genius in the sky, and he was also lucky to transfer the main force of the Korean army, so he attacked Hedong. As long as the four levels are observed, what is South Korea afraid of? If South Korea wants to mess with our Great Qin, the most it can do is to send some assassins, so don't worry! ”

Prime Minister Wei Ran frowned, he naturally understood these truths, and the so-called worry about the emptiness of Xianyang's troops was just a pretext for himself. The reason why I didn't agree with King Qin's idea was because I felt that the war in Hedong didn't need to be in such a hurry. Even if Qi and Chu continue to wait and see, things will take a turn for the better, just because Zhao Guo mobilized 300,000 troops this time, and he will never just use such a trick, otherwise, Zhao Guo will wait to return in vain! The Qin State could wait for the Zhao State to contain more Han troops before echoing in Hedong, and after the 50,000 Qin troops arrived in Hedong, all the grain and grass materials needed needed were a headache for the Qin State. As the prime minister, he knows very well how shy the treasury of the Qin State is, even if he can recruit some grain and grass on the spot in Hedong, it is limited, and the war is undoubtedly too much to test the logistics strength of a country, and the Qin State is now quite a bit of a foreign power and a dry taste.

Seeing that Wei Ran was frowning and silent, King Qin thought that Wei Ran couldn't pull his face away and admit that he hadn't thought of this, but just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by Zong Zheng Yingqu's voice.

"Your Majesty! There is not much grain and grass in the treasury, the road from Xianyang to Hedong is difficult, and the cost of transporting grain and grass is expensive. "Zong Zhengying's channel has the truth.

King Qin was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "Isn't the summer grain and autumn grain just harvested?" How can there not be enough grain and grass in the treasury? ”

Wei Ran smiled bitterly and replied: "The king forgot, last year, our Great Qin lost a lot of young people, and the year was not good, the king ordered that half of the grain should be left in the treasury of various places, and half of it would be transported to Xianyang!" ”

At that time, considering that the grain and grass consumed on the long-distance transportation road would be more, he simply asked all localities to transport half of the grain and grass to Xianyang, and the rest to the treasury in the Weishui area, especially in the Chencang and Lantian areas. This directly caused the conscripted army to have no shortage of grain and grass in the local area, and after being mobilized hundreds or even thousands of miles, there was a shortage of grain and grass! (To be continued......)
