Chapter 114: The State of Qi has sent troops

Six months is really too short. From Jinyang to Hangu Pass, the battle line of 800 miles was occupied by the Qin army. The main force of the Zhao and Wei coalition forces was divided into two, and the beginning and tail could not be echoed, so they could only fight separately. Unless Han and Wei draw a support army to support the southern front, they will feint to attack Hangu Pass. In this case, the Qin army was afraid that the back road would be cut off, so it would be forced to retreat.

However, South Korea is weaker. A few months ago, in a series of wars, South Korea gained a lot of gains, but also suffered heavy losses. At present, the number of troops available to the whole country of South Korea is only 250,000, and the Qin army is eyeing the north of Nanyang, and directly directs South Korea to send reinforcements.

Wei is also more than willing but not enough, Jingyang's 50,000 troops are stationed at the border, and the soldiers are pointed directly at the beam, and Wei is like a fish in the throat, not daring to move.

Now that the battle situation is deadlocked, the Zhao and Wei coalition forces in Hedong County have recovered the situation and regained the upper hand by virtue of their numerical superiority after starting to suffer a small loss. But it is surrounded by the Qin army on all sides, once the food and grass are out of stock, the army's heart is shaken, and it can only be the end of the entire army. The good news is that there is still enough grain and grass to meet the needs of the army in March. The bad news is that after March, if there are no reinforcements or food supplies, they will be forced to break out.

The situation in Jinyang was even more chaotic, with both armies backed by their homeland and could have responded wholeheartedly. However, the Qin army went on an expedition, and the grain route was too long, and the supply of grain and grass was inconvenient; Although the Zhao army fought within the territory, the mountain roads were difficult, the transportation of grain and grass was difficult, and more importantly, there was not much grain in Handan.

The Qin and Zhao armies were equal in strength, and neither of them was willing to give up their advantageous defense to take the initiative to attack, so Lian Po was also worried. If you want to fight quickly, then you have to gather a large army, preferably 300,000. Although the forced conscription of the whole country can give him an overwhelming advantage, the problem of grain and grass determines that he can only choose to attack on all fronts, as long as there is a slight flaw, and Bai Qi seizes it, it will be the end of a big defeat, that is the disaster of breaking the country.

At present, there is a stalemate with the Bai Qi army, and the situation is actually the best. Zhao Guo didn't need to pay much damage, just sit back and wait for the Qin army to be defeated and retreated.

It's just that King Zhao refused to give himself a chance. In two months, if the battle situation is still so stalemate, if Han and Wei still can't send reinforcements to support the southern front, then they can only fight to the death with Bai Qi's army.

Chu State, Tancheng.

Tancheng is located on the bank of Yishui, which was originally the capital of Tanguo. The destruction of the Yue Kingdom was only a hundred years, and it was obtained by Chu. After that, the Chu army went all the way north to Lanling in the Lu State. When the Five Kingdoms invaded Qi, the Chu army also went north from Tancheng to Ju County to rescue King Qi. It's a pity that King Qi has no one in his eyes, which annoys Chu General Naoya, and ends up in a different place, and Qi and Chu begin to fight each other.

Today is destined to be an unquiet day, Tian Dan, the prime minister of Qi, led an army of 100,000 people along Yishui all the way south, arriving at Tancheng, ---, the junction of Qi and Chu. There are only 2,000 soldiers in Tancheng, and there are only 20,000 households, how can they withstand the onslaught of the Qi army. In just one hour, Tancheng was declared to be owned by the Qi State.

"Prime Minister, I just received a secret report from Yongqiu. The army of Chu was still stationed on the outskirts of Yongqiu, fifty miles south of Yongqiu, and there was no sign of a siege. Adjutant General Ji Mi said.

"Hmm." Tian Dan nodded, so good. The main force of the Chu army is stationed on the border of Chu and Wei with peace of mind, and I am afraid that they will not know about it until they take most of the Huaisi land.

"Is there any movement between the Wei army and the Han army?" It would be better if the Wei army, the Han army, and the Chu army faced each other from afar. In this way, even if Jingyang knew that he was attacked by the enemy on his abdomen and back, he would not dare to rescue him with peace of mind.

"The general of Wei, Jin Contempt, has led an army of 50,000 to the south, and is now stationed near the south gate of Yongqiu. The main force of the Han army rushed to Yiyang to deter Nanyang County of Qin. Ji Mi confessed honestly.

Tian Dan smiled slightly, I really hope that this situation lasts as long as possible! Now the attention of Chu State is all drawn by the Wei army, and the attention of South Korea is again on Nanyang County. According to the Tancheng Order, after Bai Qi eliminated the main force of the Chu army in Yingdu, there were less than 200,000 soldiers left in the Chu State. Now there are 100,000 around Yingdu, 50,000 under Jingyang, and less than 50,000 are left to guard various cities. It's easier than you think.

"Prime Minister, where are we going next?" The adjutant asked.

"In this way, we are divided into two ways. You led an army of 50,000 to attack the area between Yishui and Surabaya, and I led the army to attack the land of the old Song Dynasty. "Since the garrison of the entire Huaisi land is so empty, the division of troops has become the best choice.

"General, where is Lu Guo?"

Tian Dan immediately heard the deputy general's worries, Chu State has some land that has just been snatched from Lu State, and it is a question whether to attack or not. Thinking of Lu Zhonglian's words before leaving, Tian Dan opened his mouth and said: "The northernmost cannot cross the Xue Land, and the south of the Xue Land will be taken by me." ”

"Whoa!"

Qin State, Wuguan.

Captain Wuguan has been very unhappy lately, except for the traders who will take a shortcut to pass here, this is completely a place where birds don't. Since he came to Wuguan to serve, his military exploits have been insulated from himself. Why? The east of the military attache is Nanyang, the west is Xianyang, and there will be any enemies in Wuguan, which is located in the middle of the mountains! Not even a thief! You can't kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, you can only count on the king's hard work and promotion to the next level in two or three years.

Now the whole north is full of war, from Yanmen to Hedong, from Hexi to Inner History. As a soldier, I can only listen to the roar of tigers and birds every day, which is really sighing. The messengers in the past said that Nanyang County had been given the task of attacking and harassing the Korean army in the north, alas!

"Captain! You said that this time the formation is so big, can we win? I heard that Yan Guo is also mixed up with Han, Zhao, and Wei! We're one against four! One of the guards muttered.

The guards grew up with the captain since he was a child, and he knows the temper of his master. Only then did he dare to summon up the courage to ask when no one was around. The days of guarding the customs are too boring, and it is really difficult to get by without chatting and chatting. In the past six months, the biggest official who has come is Wanhou Gongzi City. These old Qin people in the deep mountains and old forests are really grandma who don't love their uncle and uncle.

Du Wei gave him an angry look, and said unwillingly: "Then I have to ask!" We, Daqin, naturally won properly. Don't look at the last time Han, Zhao, and Wei showed a big victory, in fact, Han and Wei were all disabled by us! The state of Chu and our Nanyang County sent out a total of less than 100,000 troops, and Han and Wei did not dare to go north to support. With the Prime Minister and Wu Anjun here, this victory is still running?! ”

If it hadn't been for Yiqu coming over to make trouble last time, the Qin State would not have been defeated. Now that the Qin State is united, this shame will definitely snow!

"Captain, Captain!" A Qin soldier ran in with a happy face and said, "A convoy has come from Nanyang County!" There are hundreds of carts! ”

"Let's go, let's see!" When the lieutenant heard this, he was also overjoyed.

Because of the impassability of the road, it is inconvenient for Wuguan to communicate with Xianyang and Nanyang, and the news is very closed, and it is all up to the merchants and messengers in the past to understand the situation. Including the supply of Wuguan, it also relied on passing traders to a large extent. Therefore, whenever there is a business traveler passing by, Wuguan is the most lively. In addition to leaving behind the necessary garrisons, the lieutenant often rejoiced with the people along with most of the soldiers. It is only at this time that the defenders can temporarily forget the loneliness and boredom of defending the city.
