Chapter Ninety-Five: Breaking the City?

Jicheng, in the military tent in the camp of the alliance of Han, Zhao and Wei, Lian Po, Jin Contempt, and Storm Kite frowned tightly and did not say a word.

The three of them led the army to the foot of Jicheng, and attacked for a few days, and now the Yan army is tired, and I believe that it will not take ten days to break Jicheng. But at this time, the three of them each received an order to withdraw their troops from home. How can it not make people feel unwilling?

But now, Jing Yang, a famous general of Chu State, led an army of 50,000 troops to be stationed in Yongqiu City. Although he repeatedly emphasized that he was just guarding the northern frontier and guarding against the Qi State. But at such a sensitive moment, the state of Chu sent troops north, how could Han and Wei be completely relieved. You must know that Yongqiu City is only two days away from Daliang or Xinzheng, and once the Chu army wants to capture it, it will be too late to regret it.

There is also the movement of the Qin army, 100,000 Qin troops swaggered out of the customs under the banner of white rising. It is still difficult to judge whether the Qin army will move north to attack Hedong or south through Yiyang. However, looking at the abnormal movements of the Qin army in Nanyang County, the possibility of attacking Yiyang is higher.

The crown prince thought about it again and again, and it was still the king of Han who sent an envoy to recall the army. After all, at present, in addition to the large army needed to defend the city, South Korea's mobile forces are only 50,000, which is a bit small. When the storm kite brings back an army of 30,000, South Korea will have more cards on hand.

Wei State is also considering the same thing, and now Wei State can mobilize only 100,000 mobile troops, of which 50,000 are still in Jicheng. At the beginning, Wei sent troops just to get some benefits, but now that he has taken Wuyang, he has more or less gained some benefits. Now that the Qin army has invaded the territory, it is better to recall the army to defend the territory.

In the first battle of Wuyang, the Sanjin coalition army won 15,000 horses, including 10,000 war horses. According to the distribution agreed before the war, all the war horses were given to South Korea, and the grain, grass, money and goods were divided between Zhao and Wei. Wuyang is the capital of the Yan Kingdom, but it is extremely rich. Perhaps it was because he had earned enough benefits that the whole Wei State was so unanimous in demanding that Jin Contempt lead his army back quickly.

When Storm Kite made such a request, Lian Poke was a little surprised. You know, cavalry is not an instant class, and it costs enough to feed one cavalryman for five light infantrymen. Zhao has the advantage of grassland, and can also recruit Hu people into the army, which can maintain 100,000 cavalry troops.

That's it, there is still a lot of opposition in the country! If it weren't for the fact that when attacking other countries, supplies could be solved on the spot, and if it weren't for the fact that many of the cavalry brought their own war horses and didn't need the state to support them when they weren't recruited, Zhao would not have had such a large number of cavalry troops. In fact, when Zhao and the Xiongnu became enemies, the number of cavalry of Zhao did not exceed 50,000.

Although Zhao Guo still has 100,000 cavalry in the country, it is much worse than five months ago. The newly added 20,000 cavalry can only be said to be able to fight with the army, but it is absolutely impossible to really charge into battle. Therefore, the Zhao army led by Lian Po now is more like a composition of 80,000 cavalry and 20,000 cavalry infantry.

In the siege on the fifth day, the Wei army lost 8,000 soldiers, the Han army lost 3,000 soldiers, and the Zhao army lost 12,000 soldiers. The reason why the Zhao army suffered such a big loss was because among the three kingdoms, the Zhao State was the most jealous of the Yan State and Qin, so the siege was also the hardest.

After paying such a big loss, Lian Po still received the news that King Zhao ordered the withdrawal of the army. Therefore, compared with the violent kite and Jin Contempt, Lian Po is more angry and angry.

"Two, as long as we attack for a few more days, the Yan Kingdom will definitely be divided. When the time comes, it will be easy to break the city! Moreover, it is not possible to arrive in a few days to return to the country. Lian Po said unwillingly. Listening to his words, it seems that he wants to incite the violent kite and Jin Contempt to "disobey the life of the king outside".

"General Lian! But there's no time now! The state of Chu is eyeing the tiger, and Daliang is in danger. As a courtier, you should share the worries of the king. If the girder fails, a hundred Jicheng will not be able to atone for their sins. Early tomorrow morning, I will lead my army back to Daliang. Jin Di opened his mouth and said with a firm face.

Lian Po sighed when he heard it, as soon as Wei, the second main force, left, would South Korea still be willing to stay? But he still turned to the storm kite and asked, "What about the storm general?" ”

"Me?" The storm kite shook its head, the meaning couldn't be more obvious. Now that the most likely attack of the Qin State is Yiyang, how could the Storm Kite risk for a Jicheng!

"Report!" A herald walked in.

"General, this is what Adjutant General Meng asked me to hand over to you." The herald handed a note in both hands.

Storm Kite took the note with some suspicion, didn't he send Meng Fu to inspect Jicheng and plan the withdrawal route? How could someone send a note? But the storm kite still opened the note and looked at it, and then his face was happy, "Haha!" General Lian, General Jin, there is a plan to break the city. ”

South Korea, Sinjeong, Royal Palace.

King Han said reluctantly: "Wang'er, do you really have to go to Yiyang?" Presumably, at this time, General Storm has received the will of the widow, and it will not take half a month for General Storm to lead the army back to Xinzheng. Why not wait for General Tyrant to come back? ”

The crown prince knew that King Han was worried about his safety, and he couldn't easily distract him, so he could only patiently explain: "Father, we don't have any available generals at the moment!" Yiyang Taishou Han Yi is just a literati and has never been warned. Although the Qin army has already gone north to Anyi, it is not clear that this is a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain. If Bai Qi sent an elite and attacked Yiyang suddenly, Erchen was afraid that Yiyang would make a mistake. Yiyang finally took it down, and I won't allow it to fall. ”

King Han didn't know this psychology, but in his eyes, a qiē could not compare to the safety of his beloved son. If Yiyang loses it, it will be lost, and it can be regained. But the prince ran had the slightest mistake, that is, a hundred and ten thousand Yiyangs could not be replaced.

As if knowing King Han's intentions, the crown prince comforted him with kind words: "Father, I promise you that when you arrive in Yiyang, you will not go to war behind closed doors, and you will never provoke the Qin soldiers of Hedong County." Father, don't forget, the Qin soldiers of Nanyang County are eyeing each other, and they are already about to arrive in Yishui. I'll lead the troops over, and once the new city changes, it's easy to support! ”

King Han thought about it, but reluctantly agreed with Prince Ran's opinion. The prince grew up and had his own ideas, and the ideas of his older generation seemed a little too conservative. Let him go!

Xincheng, Xun Guo has been in office for two and a half months. In the first month, Xun Guo only did one thing, and that was to walk the streets. After a month, Xun Guo visited all the large and small wine shops in the new city, but no one thought that the middle-aged man who drank alone and was often in a daze would be the new county magistrate.

Originally, the new city order was replaced, and the county officials and county lieutenants were still worried that they would not be reused. Therefore, they all want to show themselves well, but Xun only knows how to drink and go shopping every day, and he doesn't look interested in political affairs. The county Cheng also thought that this was a test for himself, and made a special trip to ask Xun Guo to return to the county government several times to deal with political affairs. However, Xun Guo used the situation as an excuse to let him make his own decisions. This made the officials of all sizes in Xincheng completely relieved, thinking that Xun was in a situation where they could be bullied, and the original trace of respect and jealousy all disappeared.

It seems that the newly arrived county commander knows the truth that the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, and the county commanders, county lieutenants, and imperial historians who belong to the local forces no longer restrain their pretentiousness, and begin to expose their greedy nature; And Si Kou, who was originally hopeful about Xun's situation, was disappointed.

As the saying goes, there are three fires when a new official takes office, and this new county magistrate only knows how to drink every day and never cares about political affairs. It's just a wine bag and a rice bag, and it's unbearable. People with lofty ideals are disheartened, and corrupt people celebrate each other. But just when the people in Xincheng thought that Xincheng would be in the hands of the county Cheng faction from now on, Xun Guo gave everyone a surprise.

A month later, Xun Guo appeared in the county hall for the first time to try the case. This trial is not very serious, and the first trial is amazing. The county magistrate, the county lieutenant, and the imperial historian colluded, corrupted the law, and murdered more than a dozen innocent people. However, on the third day, the power that the three of them had been operating for more than ten years was uprooted.

Xun Guo took out the edict given by King Han and appointed the former Sikou Zhang Xin as the new county governor, and the former chief Wu Guang as the new county lieutenant. Xinzheng is a turn! Subsequently, Xun Guo changed the style of the new city order, and began to lightly pay for the meager endowment, greatly develop commerce, and build water conservancy. It's just that as soon as things started, the Qin army appeared in the upper reaches of Yishui, a hundred miles away from the new city. The new deal that Xun Guo wants is that he has to wait for it.

Thanks to the black Amaterasu, match-roasted steamed buns, and larks for their Qingming rewards. There is also a watch to put in the evening!
