Chapter 66: Sending Troops
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Jiangzhou victory! Jiangzhou victory! The eunuch ran in panting, his ruddy face covered with joy and sweat.
Han Wangran naturally knew that the eunuch Ling, who had been serving nearby, would never be tired like this because of this short run of more than 100 steps. Panting and sweating profusely, it is nothing more than an invitation to merit, so it is not broken. In Han Wangran's heart, it is beyond reproach that South Korea won in Ba County, after all, Shu County was in civil strife, and the Qin army of Shu County was too busy to take care of itself and could not support Ba County. The Bajun Qin army was at war with the Chu army, and they lacked skills. Its main force is in the area of Wuxian, and the heart of Ba County can be described as empty. If Meng Fu's 50,000 army can't take the entire county of Ba County in this situation, then Han Wangran should consider changing Meng Fu's position. It's just that Han Wangran really didn't expect that after only half a month, good news came.
After receiving the battle report in the hands of the eunuch Ling, Han Wangran swept it roughly, and first saw the results of the battle - Zhang Ruo, the county guard of Bajun, was killed in battle, and the main force of more than 20,000 Qin troops fled into the mountains and forests with less than 1,000 people, and the rest were all lost, and Jiangzhou changed hands. Looking at the war again, the Qin army was infighting, and Langzhong went down for three days; Zhu Hai set up an ambush, annihilated Zhang Ruoqian's army, and then won Jiangzhou; A dam was built to block the river, flooding the Qin army, and ambushing on all sides, forcing Zhang Ruo to death. Under the tight locking, a month ago, he was still arrogant, and Zhang Ruo, who drove Chu Jingyang three hundred miles east, was in a different place, which was embarrassing.
In the battle report, Meng Wei informed Han Wangran that at present, the army is divided. Among them, some went to the remaining seven counties to collect and surrender the Qin army, after all, the Qin army in these counties was only 500 people, and the few were only 200 people, only 2,000 men and horses, and the Qin army naturally surrendered; The deputy general Wei Yun led 8,000 elite soldiers down the river to attack Yufu and Wuxian, and Zhang Ruo left 5,000 Qin troops here. Meng Fu believed that as long as he held Zhang Ruo's head, the Qin army would inevitably be in chaos. Even if they don't ask for surrender, the Qin army will have no will to fight. Meng Fu led an army of 30,000 to the west and attacked Shu County.
Attacking Shu County was naturally not in Han Wangran's plan. However, the general was not subject to the orders of the foreign monarch, and Meng Fu received 10,000 Korean troops from Hanzhong to Jiameng Pass. After the news that the remnants of Shu and the Qin army were fighting fiercely near Chengdu, they quickly realized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The Han army unexpectedly quickly annihilated the main force of the Qin army in Ba County, which was beyond the consideration of South Korea, and also beyond the consideration of Li Bing and his son. The Han army was not ready to attack Shu County, but Li Bing and his son were not ready to meet the Han army! To be unprepared or unprepared, the brave win when they meet on the narrow road, the Shu road is difficult, and it is difficult to go to the blue sky, if you really wait for the Qin army to be ready. Even if the Han army wants to capture Shu County, the price they have to pay is definitely not expensive.
"This is a fool!" Han Wangran said angrily.
The eunuch Ling on the side saw Han Wangran crying and laughing, he was very puzzled, and boldly asked, "Your Majesty!" General Meng conquered Jiangzhou for the king, and in less than a month, he would take all the land of Ba County! You should be happy! ”
Han Wangran pointed to the battle report in his hand, and said helplessly: "Bajun can't satisfy his appetite!" He also wants to take Shu County for the widows! ”
The eunuch Ling was dumbfounded, unable to speak for a while, and then heard Han Wangran's order - please ask the three dukes and nine kings who are still in Xinzheng to go to the Zhaoren Hall to discuss matters.
Prime Minister Zhang Ping was the first to receive the battle report. is both happy and worried, after the ministers have read the battle report. The first to speak: "Your Majesty! The minister thought that the Qin army in the two counties of Bashu was only 80,000 people, but now there are less than half left, and there are less than 30,000 under Li Bing's father and son in Shu County, and the time is ripe to annex Shu County! Since General Meng has already led his troops up the river, it is better to send 30,000 troops from Hanzhong to the south from Jiameng Pass. Two-way pinching Chengdu. Chengdu is under the city, and Shu County will become a bag! The only thing to worry about is nothing like food and grass. ”
Liu Guang, the history of Su Nei, immediately replied: "There are 100,000 stone grain and grass in Nanzhengtun!" Enough for the dispatch of the army! But the king had a need, and his ministers immediately arranged for the shipment of grain and grass. The implication for the moment is to tell the ministers present not to worry about food and grass.
Imperial Doctor Fan Sui pondered for a moment, and said, "Your Majesty! Shu Road is difficult. It is even more difficult to go up the river from Jiangzhou to Chengdu. Comparatively. It is much more convenient to go south from Jiameng Pass. According to the ministers, it won't take long for the Qin army to defeat the remnants of Shu. At that time, General Meng's command will become a lone army, and even if he barely reaches Chengdu, the losses will be great. Therefore, the minister also agreed to order Hanzhong to send troops and move south. Such a distant echo makes Qin Jun too busy to take care of himself, and it is the best policy! ”
Zong Zheng said worriedly: "Now we are hoarding heavy troops in Hanzhong and Wuguan, and the Qin State is like a fish in the throat, and it has also recruited a large number of troops, intending to compete with us. There are only 80,000 troops in Hanzhong, and rashly dispatching 30,000 troops to the south will cause the garrison to be empty? If the Qin State learns that the army is coming, what should it do?! ”
The servant shook his head and said comfortingly: "Lord Zongzheng is too worried. As long as the 50,000-strong army of the tyrant captain does not leave Wuguan for a day, the Qin army will not be at peace for a day. After all, whether you take the old road, the oblique road, or the meridian road, there are more than 200 miles of rugged mountain roads to travel, which takes a long time. It is different to go through Wuguan to enter Qin, the road is closer, and the exit is both Xianyang. We dispatched the elite of Hanzhong to attack Shu County in the south, and the Qin army knew that it would be a month later, even if Shu County had not been captured at that time, we could launch a strong attack from Wuguan to attract the attention of Qin. ”
Zong Zheng was silent, probably still feeling a little risky. But how to win with soldiers who blindly seek stability?! Soldiers, the way of life and death, must not be ignored, but looking forward and backward will only be controlled by others and the enemy!
Han Wangran opened his mouth at this time, and since he opened his mouth, he said with a final word: "The widow has made up his mind, and ordered Wei Zhe, the lieutenant of Hanzhong County (that is, the Huangshi Gong of later generations), to lead 30,000 elite soldiers to attack Shu County!" To govern the internal history of Su, be sure to prepare grain and grass before the army sets out! ”
"Obey the order!" Liu Guang replied respectfully.
Han Wangran nodded with satisfaction and continued: "Bajun will be widowed in half a month or a month!" It is also necessary to work hard for the prime minister to draw up a list of candidates for each county and county, and their people need to have both talent and learning. ”
Zhang Ping also wrote it down and didn't mention it. Now that Korea has formed a mature system, the prime minister and his subordinate officials are responsible for submitting the list of officials at all levels in the newly occupied land, and Han Wangran will directly order the appointment if he thinks it is feasible. If you find it debatable, return it. If he is extremely dissatisfied, he will be detained directly, and Han Wangran will directly announce it at the court meeting.
Of course, in order to prevent criticism of self-serving, some important positions, such as the appointment of county captains, are similar to open selection. Incumbent officials can either recommend themselves or recommend others, they can compete, write their own governing philosophy, if Han Wangran is satisfied, he will naturally be hired. Of course, once Han Wangran likes someone, he will inevitably take the initiative to build momentum for him, proving that he is the trend of the times, so as to block the mouth of this court. All in all, South Korea believes in meritocracy, meritocracy! Background is no longer the only factor that determines a person's future and fate, noble children can be rich, but if you want to be expensive, you must be talented.
After making up the decision to attack Shu County, the pawn played: "Your Majesty! The State of Qi sent an envoy to ask for help, saying that the army of the State of Zhao was besieging Linzi! ”
Junchen was stunned when he heard this, didn't he just hear that Zhao Hao led a 150,000 army and a 150,000 allied army of Qi and Wei to confront Liaocheng and Anyang some time ago? Why did the main force of the Zhao army raid Linzi so quickly? It's really weird!
Pawn Ke doesn't think so. Tian Dan and Jin Cong are also a generation of famous generals, and they actually let Zhao Hao get rid of the entanglement of the Qi and Wei coalition forces unconsciously! Linzi of Qi is in danger of being besieged by the Zhao army! After receiving this news, he naturally didn't dare to slack off, and was about to inform Han Wangran, when he received a notice from Han Wangran to discuss political affairs. Therefore, as soon as Han Wangran finished speaking, he couldn't wait to say.
"What did the envoy of Qi say?" Han Wangran asked with a frown. I just decided to increase my troops on the southern front, mainly to conquer Bashu, and the Qi State came to ask for help, which is too coincidental! After the 80,000 troops of Hanzhong were transferred to 30,000, the Korean generals were on the defensive in Hanzhong and on the offensive in Nanyang. If you want to rescue Linzi, you can only think about the three counties of Shangdang, Sanchuan, and Yingchuan.
The pawn immediately replied: "Qi Guo hopes that we can launch an offensive in Shangdang, approach Handan, and force Handan to order Zhao Hao's army to return to Handan!" ”
As soon as the pawn finished speaking, the hall fell silent. Now, in Shangdang Sheyi, Li Mu's 50,000 army is facing off against Pingyuan Jun's 50,000 Zhao army. Everyone knows that with the assistance of 10,000 Yulin troops, Li Mu really wants to defeat Pingyuan Junru to probe for things, but Han Wangran repeatedly ordered Li Mu not to take the initiative to go deep into the Zhao realm without his own orders. Now that Qi Guo is anxious to want South Korea to storm Handan, will Han Wangran agree?
Imperial Historian Fan Sui knew Han Wangran's plan best - to contain Zhao Jun in a posture, so that Qi and Wei and Zhao could fight to the death, as long as Qi and Wei worked together, Zhao would not be able to get any benefit. But now it has been less than a month since the outbreak of war in the Three Kingdoms, and it can even be said that there has not been a large-scale war yet, and the army of Zhao has surrounded Linzi. Qi Guo came to ask for help in a panic, wanting South Korea to attract the main force of the Zhao army back! If you just agreed, Korea would be busy in vain, on the contrary, Qi and Wei each fished two hundred miles of land in Zhao and made a lot of money.
"Did the State of Qi also ask for help from the State of Wei?" Han Wangran let out a long sigh.
It's not that I'm afraid of a conflict with Zhao, nor I'm afraid of casualties, but that doing so won't bring practical benefits to myself and South Korea. On the surface, Qi and Wei are tying themselves up, and South Korea has the grandeur of a big man. But in this troubled era of interests, Qi and Wei are close to them only because they can bring them benefits. Just like this plan to attack Zhao, the State of Qi and the State of Wei took a fancy to the benefits of earning a large amount of land in the State of Zhao. He took advantage of the opportunity of the world to turn its attention to the Central Plains, and took advantage of the situation to go south in one fell swoop, pacifying Ba County and even Shu County, occupying half of the south.
The pawn nodded and said, "The envoy of the Qi State said that the King of Qi sent two groups of people, and one group went to Daliang!" (To be continued......)
