Chapter 268: Attacking the Enemy Will Be Saved
The Qin army on the northern front successfully escaped from Jingcheng.
This way the Qin army is commanded by Han Xin and Li Zuoche, and it should not be too difficult to deal with a mere Xia Shuo, even if Xia Shuo claims to have an army of 40,000, the result is the same.
The only thing to worry about is the grain supply of the Qin army, from Pingyang in the west across the Taihang Mountains to Zhaodi, not to mention the difficulty of the road, even the loss is amazing.
End of March.
The northern plains gradually became warmer, and after Han Xin learned that Li Zuoche had successfully attacked the rear of the Zhao army, he began to give up the confrontation with Xia Shuo's army and turned to the mode of sports warfare in which he ran all the way and fought all the way.
This way of fighting in enemy territory, if there is no familiar person to lead the way, if there is no answer, you will soon fall into the encirclement of the enemy army, Han Xin is lucky, because he has a capable assistant: Li Zuoche.
The Qin army went deep into the Zhao land, and for a while it was like a fish in water, Chen Yu was a Wei person, and his appeal in the Zhao State could not be compared with Li Zuoche, who had been a Zhao general for several generations.
In the name of Zhao Xie, after the city was defrauded, after the attack and occupied the five cities, when the Zhao army rushed back, he quietly escaped, Li Zuoche's strange use of troops made Xia Shuo miserable, at this time, this Xia Xiangguo began to understand that he was more than one step behind Li Zuoche.

Southern Route.
The giant deer is in the spotlight again.
Chen Yu used soldiers, like to be upright, a board and a glance of the frontal confrontation, the Zhao army to the strong city as the center, with turbid Zhangshui, Qingzhangshui as a barrier, the city stationed Zhao army about 25,000 people, by Chen Yu personally commanded, on the left and right wings of the city, respectively, Liu Bangjun and Li Qijun.
Li Qi's military camp was set up on the Qingzhangshui side, with more than 20,000 Zhao soldiers, and Liu Bang's military camp was set up on the muddy Zhangshui side, with 18,000 soldiers and soldiers, and another 15,000 Zhao troops were responsible for ensuring the smooth flow of logistics and supplies. I couldn't find any flaws.
Zhao Junzuo battalion.
Wu'an Hou Liu Bang squinted his eyes slightly, lying on the desk and carefully looking at the topographic map of the Julu area, especially every ferry and every wilderness trail in the section of the turbid Zhangshui, he wanted to keep it in his mind, this is not to say that Liu Bang wants to sneak attack the Qin army, nor is it that he is looking for a way to reverse and break the enemy, it is a little difficult to say it, Liu Bang is actually just looking for a route to escape as a last resort.
Escape.
I don't know when, it has become Liu Bang's habitual behavior when confronting Li Yuan. In this regard, Liu Bang also wanted to resist. But I never got over the fear in my heart.
This was a reaction to being scared of being killed by Li Yuan, not only Liu Bang, but also the generals of Liu Jun, Liu Jia and Han Wangxin also showed fear on their faces after hearing that Li Qi had suffered a disastrous defeat in the first battle.
"It would be nice if Aze's troops were here, these Zhao State soldiers can't be of great use one by one." Liu Jia stomped his feet carefully on the side and muttered.
"What nonsense, this big Zhao Jian'er. All of them are brave and good at fighting, you and I live in Zhao, be good at their soldiers, and choose their generals. Think it's a long-term solution. Liu Bang scolded.
Liu Jia is his nephew and a close confidant, Liu Bang said one or two cruel words, and Liu Jia would not have any resentment. If Han Wangxin complained like this, Liu Bang would have to smile and comfort him.
Liu Jun's generals, who did not go on the expedition this time were the two brothers Lu Ze and Lu Shizhi. Liu Bang also asked them, but the answer he got was that this matter must be agreed by Lu Pheasant.
Lu Pheasant, Liu Bang felt a chill in his heart when he thought of this name.
In front of people is a loving husband and wife, and after people are cold wars, only Liu Bang knows the suffering, but what can be done? Lu Pheasant is now not soaked in oil and salt, no matter whether Liu Bang is cheeky and says good things, or scolds his mother with a straight face, it has no effect on Lu Pheasant at all.
In Lu Pheasant's eyes, there is only one person she cares about.
Liu Ying.
This Liu Bang's son does not have the masculinity that an eight-year-old boy should have at all, on the contrary, he is as shy as a little girl who either hides behind Lu Pheasant's skirt or follows his second uncle Lu Shizhi.
The eldest husband is determined to be in the world, but he is disappointed in his children and grandchildren. Every time he thinks of this, Liu Bang feels bitter in his heart, and the struggle of most of his life is really meaningless.
However, Liu Bang doesn't look down on Liu Ying, but it doesn't mean that Lu Pheasant thinks that his son can't do it, in the eyes of a mother, the son is obedient and well-behaved, virtuous and benevolent, and compared with that hooligan husband, he is not much stronger.
A wife is proud of her husband.
When Liu Bang became the king of Han, Lu Pheasant heard the news in Pei County, and he was also very happy. However, when Qi Ji and Liu Ruyi appeared in front of her, it was like a plate of cold water pouring her heart cold.
The relationship is long gone, the reason why Lu Pheasant wants to maintain the relationship with Liu Bang and his wife is just to use Liu Bang's Liliang to win Liu Ying's status and obtain the support of Liu's generals.
But now, Liu Bang's side, there are not a few generals left, and there is only Zhang Liang as a strategist, if you want to make a comeback, Liu Bang can only hit Lu Ze and Lu Shizhi with the idea, although the Lu family army is not many people, only about 1,000 people, but the combat effectiveness of this army is much stronger than that of the Zhao army.
Of course Lu Pheasant would not agree to Lu Ze following Liu Bang's actions, the lesson of Yingdu last time was especially in front of him, if Lu Ze hadn't stayed behind, it was a question whether she and Liu Ying could escape alive.

Asaha City.
The base camp of the southern line of the Qin army.
After spending a cold winter, the generals of the Qin army got together again, and this kind of gathering also made Cao Xin, Su Jiao and other rough generals have the idea of trying to compete for a while.
"Lao Su, your heavy cavalry is not good this time, what's the matter, I'm hungry in winter, this can't be done, if I don't have the strength by then, my Yue's soldiers have the strength to speak." Cao Xin's one-eyed eyes swept over the generals, and Zuihou stayed on Su Jiao's body. is also a fierce general, of course Cao Xin will not go to Gan Yong, Chen Chu, Wang Huang and other juniors to compete, Su Jiao is a senior in the Qin army, and his temperament has always been straightforward, and he gets along with Cao Xin tacitly.
"Cao Duyan, this giant deer city is solid and tall, our 400,000 army was not able to defeat it at the beginning, if your Yue clan barbarians are really capable, when Wuhou orders the siege of the city, you don't want to be a soft-footed crab." Su Jiao sneered, and unceremoniously shot back.
"Okay, storm the big city. This time, my Yue's army brought a secret weapon, Lao Su, don't be blushing when you see it. "Cao Xin hahadaxiao up.
Every time we get together.
It was a big competition in actual combat, and of course Su Jiao also had his own killer skills, but he was more successful than Cao Xin, so he only smiled and didn't respond.
The Qin military conference began in this atmosphere of harmony and competition.
Li Yuan didn't say anything to stop Su Jiao and Cao Xin's mutual belittlement, he just swept the generals in the hall one by one with a cold gaze, and immediately asked all the generals to close their mouths tightly and not say a word more.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this time against Zhao, our army has two purposes, one is to completely defeat Chen Yu Shili, who is the enemy of our Great Qin in Zhao Land, and then move the Great Qin territory from the Taihang Mountain to the Hebei Plain, and the other is to pursue and annihilate the remnants of Liu Bang Shili, and completely solve this old opponent who has escaped repeatedly. Do you understand everything? β
"No!" Su Jiao, Cao Xin and others agreed in unison.
"The deployment of the Zhao army, Captain Gan Yong will talk about it in detailββ! Li Yuan commanded, casting an encouraging glance at Gan Yong, who had just returned from the front.
"Ahem, Marquis Wu, generals, the 80,000 people of the Zhao army in Julu are divided into three parts, Liu Bang, Li Qi, and Chen Yu are divided into three parts, and the strategic idea of the Zhao army is to delay time and strive for the help of the princes and horses from all over the country, they take Jiancheng as the center, so that no matter which side our army attacks, it is possible to be reinforced by the other two Zhao armies, and if you directly attack the city, you can't capture it for a while, so this battle is very difficult to fight." Gan Yong thought about it and reported it according to the truth.
However, in the words, he also added his own judgment, for an officer at the rank of captain, this ability to analyze the battle situation is rare.
"If it is difficult to fight, we will fight it, according to the opinion of the last general, we will fight Liu Bang first, Liu Bang has just defected to Zhao not long ago, and the cooperation with the Zhao army is still unfamiliar, if our army attacks Liu Bang, Chen Yu and Li Qi may not go all out to reinforce." Su Jiao advised.
"I'm afraid it's not right. Chen Yu this person is very cautious in the use of troops, this time the Zhao army and our army are not in a good position, Chen Yu adjusted the layout of the attack, 80,000 troops along the Zhangshui to defend, which shows that this person has considerable confidence in defending the city, if our army attacks Liu, Chen Yu for self-protection, will inevitably raise troops to fight, if that is the case, our army will be attacked on both sides, will fall into a bitter battle. Li Yuan shook his head and rejected Su Jiao's proposal.
Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is the only way to survive a hundred battles.
Regarding Chen Yu's temperament, before Li Zuoche went to Han Xin's camp, Li Yuan had asked Li Zuoche about it, and in general, Chen Yu was more than square and inflexible, which was also one of the reasons why he was defeated by Han Xin's strategy in the historical Battle of Jingcheng.
Now, the time and place have changed, and even the generals on both sides of the battle have been replaced by the more complicated Li Yuan vs. Chen Yu and Liu Bang.
Hearing Li Yuan say this, Su Jiao and Chen Xuan also analyzed, and as for Cao Xin, he firmly closed his one eye and stood aside to close his eyes and recuperate.
Strategizing these nerve-wracking things, it hurts to think about it, Cao Xin just waited, Li Yuan gave an order, and then he commanded the Yue soldiers under his command to shout and kill, cutting the heads of the enemies one by one into mud.
"Wuhou, why don't our army attack Li Qi first, this person was defeated in a battle, and now he has been frightened, among the three Zhao armies, Li Qi is also the weakest, as long as Li Qi's army is taken, the remaining two Zhao armies are bound to be frightened, so the victory can be determined." Gan Yong was a little restrained at first, but then listened to the discussion fiercely and began to express his opinions. (To be continued......)
