Chapter 45: The Battle of Handan (2)

Julu City, the flag covers the sky, and the armor shield is lined up.

After leading the 50,000 Korean troops to take Julu City as a military advisor, Bai Qi used the Julu Mansion as his own place to handle military affairs and rest. The entire street where the government office is located was also unconditionally requisitioned by the South Korean army.

These are times of war, and there can be no negligence. Of course, Bai Qi was unwilling to leave the impression of domineering to the people of Julu, but he was also unwilling to sacrifice his own safety. After all, Julu has always belonged to Zhao State, and the people in the city still identify with Zhao State. In the eyes of the people of Julu, he is still mostly the image of an intruder. Even if Bai Qi punished the wealthy people in the city and distributed some grain and grass, it still couldn't change this fact!

Since he was an intruder, Huairou's policy could not take effect immediately, and Bai Qi didn't mind showing his iron-blooded and ruthless side. If you want to dispel the careful thinking of those who have a heart, you must not be too kind to the people. Take the street where the Julu Mansion is located as an example, if Bai Qi is unwilling to disturb the people and take away these hundred households, once there are dead soldiers lurking inside, maybe Bai Qi will be assassinated when he goes out. Once Bai gets up and dies, the Korean army is bound to be in chaos. This is Xiaoren! And it is for the great mercy to drive out the people and keep them out of the matter.

From Bai Qi's point of view, he was unwilling to intervene in Yan Guo and participate in the war against Zhao. After all, there is too much deceit and deceit in vain, and there can never be real trust between countries, and mutual calculation is the eternal subject. Some time ago, Yan Guo was also conscientiously attacking Zhao, and it didn't take long for him to regain his true nature and sit back and watch Han and Zhao fight. For such a backsliding country, what is there for South Korea to woo?!

Yes, with the help of Yan Guo, Zhao Guo cannot take care of both the north and the south, and South Korea's losses will be much less. But this will undoubtedly give Yan Guo a big chance! You must know that the distance between Yan and Zhao is much closer than that between South Korea and Zhao! The time it will take for South Korea to deploy troops. It is enough for Yan to raise the whole country's troops and take down Daijun, Yanmen, and Yunzhong! It is impossible for King Han not to know the truth, but King Han still invited Yan to fight Zhao together and carve up Zhao, and Bai Qi could only choose to obey.

Fifty miles west of Julu is Xing County, where 10,000 Zhao troops are stationed; Thirty miles to the northeast are sand dunes. There were 5,000 Zhao troops garrisoned; Seventy miles northwest is Bairenyi, with 3,000 Zhao troops, and 100 miles northwest is the house, with 10,000 Zhao troops; One hundred miles to the southwest is Handan, eighty miles to the south is Ge Xi City, and ten miles to the east is the vast Zhangshui.

Among them, the South Korean army of 120,000 has surrounded the house, and the vanguard is even more in Bairenyi. The scouts sent by Bai Qi have already made contact with Han Teng, the general of Zhengdong, from Bairenyi to Julu. Surrounded by scouts from the Korean army, Handan was cut off from the outside world, and Zhao was divided into two. The sand dunes had originally been surrounded by the Korean army, but the Yan army wanted to borrow the road from the sand dunes, so Bai Qi simply retreated, and threw the sand dunes, which was not a big trouble, to Rong Yi. Rong Yan can also be regarded as a person who knows the soldiers, and Bai Qi believes that after the Yan Kingdom paid tens of thousands of dead and wounded. It should be possible to take down the dunes. This can be regarded as consuming the strength of the Yan army. lest Yan Guo easily take Julu County and be complacent. Dilemma with South Korea.

Handan City is surrounded by water on three sides, with siege equipment, it is not difficult to cross the moat and soldiers to face Handan City, but the terrain in the north of Handan is open, and the best direction to use troops is the best direction. Although Li Mu didn't ask anything for himself, Bai Qi also knew. After the arrival of the Yan reinforcements, his mission to contain the Zhao army north of Xingxian and the sand dunes was dispensable, and the most important thing was to monitor the Yan army or assist the Yan army in attacking Handan.

Just when Bai Qi was looking at the map, calculating how to take Handan and pacify Zhao State. A personal guard walked in and reported to Bai Qiyu: "General, Yan Guoyaqing Rong sent someone to report that Yan Guo's 150,000 troops have surrounded the sand dunes. ”

Bai Qi turned around and asked, "Where is the envoy of the Yan Kingdom?" ”

"Outside the door."

Bai Qi nodded, groaned slightly, and ordered, "Bring him over!" ”

"Whoa!" The guards took the order and left.

After a while, a Yan army was brought in by Bai Qi's personal guards, and the Yan army envoy did not have stage fright, respectfully saluted, and said: "Sima Tianwei, the general of the Yan Kingdom, has seen the general!" ”

Rong Yi is the Yaqing of Yan State, and the only general of Yan State, in charge of the military, and his status is equivalent to that of the Korean Tai Lieutenant.

Bai Qi nodded slightly, which was regarded as a response, and then said, "I don't know how General Rong will use troops next?" ”

For Yan Guo, after encircling the sand dunes, there are two ways to choose. One is to go all out to conquer the sand dunes and then move south to join the South Korean army. The other is to leave only tens of thousands of troops, either to surround or fight, and it is up to the Yan State to decide, and the main force will go south and join the Korean army early. As for the confluence, it is natural to attack Handan, which was also agreed upon by the two countries before.

"Returning to the general, my general is willing to leave 20,000 troops to besiege the sand dunes, and then lead 130,000 elites to the south, join forces with the general, and attack Handan!" Sima Tianwei replied in a deep voice.

Bai Qi nodded imperceptibly, but he smiled in his heart, Rong Qi was still quite interesting. If the Yan army is unwilling to go south before taking the sand dunes, then he really can't leave Julu and place the uncertain factor of Yan Kingdom in the sand dunes. It's just that 20,000 Zhao troops stayed, and the 130,000 main forces are the same as the Han army, and Yan Guo's sincerity is three points higher than Bai Qi's sincerity thought at the beginning.

"Good! Go back and sue General SΓΉ Rong! It was said that the general would set up a banquet in the city to welcome him. Bai Qi said with a smile.

"General Xie! However, before leaving, the general of my family still has one more thing to instruct. ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it!" Bai replied with an unchanged face.

"The sand dunes are only more than thirty miles from the giant deer, and our army can reach them in two hours at most. After arriving at Julu, we camped outside the city for a few days or went directly south, hoping that the general would inform us so that we could make arrangements as soon as possible. Sima Tianwei asked.

Bai Qi was slightly stunned, and said in his heart that this is really a problem. According to common sense, the Yan army came from afar, and it was completely possible to rest in Julu for a few days, but Li Mu would immediately command the army to attack Handan, and he still had to enter the Handan battlefield as soon as possible in order to respond. In this way, Yan Jun could not rest for a long time. If you rest, the Yan army is too numerous and can only be stationed outside the city. In the north of the city, Baiqi set up a camp that could accommodate 20,000 people, and in the south of the city, there was also a camp that could accommodate 10,000 people. In line with the principle that the two armies are not subordinate to each other, only the west of the city is more suitable. Rong Yan is still very clear about things, for fear of causing unnecessary trouble, he must first figure out these matters.

"Now that it is close to noon, it is getting late when your army arrives, so it is better to rest in Julu for two days, and then go south together. This general will order people to vacate the place west of the city for your army to encamp! Bai Qi said.

The Yan army should be able to arrive in the evening, and after setting up camp, it must be very late. Tomorrow I will spend a whole day discussing the military situation, and the day after tomorrow I will send troops from the village, and the time is just right.

"Whoa!" Sima Tianwei agreed without sadness or joy, and turned to leave.

After Sima Tianwei left, Bai Qi told his guards to convey his orders, and calculated that there were only four hours to prepare to meet the army of Rong Yan, and the Han army had to be busy.

An hour later, Sima Tianwei appeared in front of Rong Yi and brought together all the qiΔ“ that he had discovered when he went to Julu.

Rong Yan nodded and asked, "Is it Bai Qi who is leading the troops in Julu City?" ”

Before leaving, Yan Guo didn't know that this attack on Zhao State would be used by King Han to start using Bai Qi. After all, Bai Qi's identity is a little delicate, and South Korea has never mentioned Bai Qi's name, Yan Guo only knows that Li Mu and Meng Wei led an army of 300,000 to attack Zhao, and Han Teng led an army of 150,000 to go north to Shangdang and go around to the north of Zhao. For the rest of the people, it is impossible to know who is Sima and who is sacrificing wine for the military advisor. The status of these two is transcendent, and whether they have real power or not is between the thoughts of the main general. Now it seems that Baek Qi is very popular with South Korea.

"A few years ago, when the Five Kingdoms were attacking Qin, the last general was fortunate to follow the general to attack Shangjun, and he had seen Bai Qi from afar! In Julu City, it is also said that the killing god is coming again, and there will be no mistake in thinking about it! Sima Tianwei replied solemnly.

Chestnut belly was entrusted with an important task by King Yan this time, serving as the deputy general of the army, and when he saw Rong Zhi's sad face, he guessed that Rong Xuan must have thought that things had become very tricky because of Bai Qi's storage. If an obscure general leads Julu's army of 50,000, then the Yan army will be taken by surprise and will definitely be able to win a complete victory. But who is Bai Qi, a person who uses soldiers like a god, if Yan Jun does not act confidentially enough, he will inevitably be detected by Bai Qi. At that time, it will not be the time for the Yan army to win at the lowest cost, but how to keep itself!

"General! Bai Qi set up a camp in the south and north of the city, leaving the west of the city to camp for us. If we follow the original plan to raid the giant deer, I am afraid it will not be able to do it all! Sima Tianwei continued.

As Rong Wei's henchman, Tian Wei naturally knew Yan Guo's true plan. In the original plan, the Han army should be defenseless in the face of the Yan army, and the Han army was all cowering in Julu City. The Yan army suddenly attacked, only needed to capture one city gate, and the other three gates set up an ambush, and the Korean army would inevitably be wiped out. Yan Guo was so optimistic about this that he had no plans to wait. Now that Bai Qi divides the south and north of the city, and the giant deer city is fighting each other, the plan of the Yan Kingdom is stillborn.

"Ready to fly, I have to send it!" Rong Yan sighed.

Julu City suddenly became difficult to gnaw, but fortunately, the Yan army still had an advantage in terms of strength, and it was not without a chance of winning. It's just that the price paid is a little bigger than imagined! Moreover, the biggest advantage of Yan is that the Han army does not know that the Yan army has decided to betray South Korea! Now we can only find ways to take advantage of this! (To be continued......)
