Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Portal
Anyi, the former capital of Wei and the capital of Hedong County today, no matter how you look at it, its loss is not an easy price for the Qin army.
The news of Weizhuang was half an hour faster than the military report of the Qin army, and when the military newspaper put the case of Lü Buwei on the table, a group of staff members in the Xiangbang Mansion had already gathered.
A group of people gathered in front of the huge sand table, studying the countermeasures at the moment.
Lu Buwei sat aside, watching the staff in the hall in front of him walking around, flipping through the papers, making calculations, and having a headache.
The geographical location of Anyi is important, but more importantly, the grain and grass stored in it have now been obtained by Pang Xuan.
No matter how powerful the generals are, no matter how elite the soldiers and horses, if there is no food and grass, then they will not make a difference.
Lü Buwei didn't care about it before, it was because the five countries were combined, and a large amount of grain and grass was transported to the main force of the coalition army at Hangu Pass. Pang Xuan's partial division, no matter how elite it is, the grain road is too long.
As long as the Qin army holds the two important towns of Anyi and Puban and maintains this bottom line, then Pang Xuan's army is equivalent to being locked in the east of the river, and at most it can only bargain in the nearby cities.
The staff members finally finished the calculation and presented the results to Lü Buwei's desk.
"Xiangbang, the grain and grass obtained by Pang Xuanjun can last for at least twenty-three days."
Lu Buwei was not satisfied with this result, and looked at the staff in front of the table.
"What about the many?"
"More than a month!"
Lu Buwei's face was not good, he was angry, and slapped the table with one hand. The heavy voice echoed through the room, and the frightened staff immediately knelt down and bowed down to plead guilty.
"More than a month? How much is left? ”
At this moment, for Lü Buwei, an accurate number is crucial, because one more day, one less day, could affect the current situation.
"Xiangbang forgives the crime, the information on the food and grass of the coalition army is unknown, and we can't calculate the specific time."
Lu Buwei waved his hand and shouted.
"All retreat!"
When the staff heard this, they were like being amnestied, and they were worried about their toes, and they did not dare to make a sound.
Everyone knows that Qin Xiangbang is in a bad mood at this moment, and offending him at this time, what is the difference between that and looking for death?
The room became empty, and Lu Buwei banged on the table, thinking in his heart.
With the strength of the five-nation alliance, by the time they got out of the prison, Pang Xuan's army still had at least fifteen days of grain and grass.
Five days later, Anyi went down. If Pang Xuan sent troops to gather grain and grass in the surrounding towns while capturing Anyi, then there would be at least ten to twenty days or so.
In the worst-case scenario, Pang Xuanjun's offensive can last for at least two months.
In two months, thinking of this number, Lu Buwei's face was even more unkind.
The appearance of the sun mask made Lu Buwei turn his head and ask.
"How's it going?"
How did Anyi lose it, this problem made Lu Buwei more concerned than the trouble in front of him.
Pang Xuan ordered a thousand Zhao army vanguards to dig a trench in front of Anyi City to make a siege of the city. Thinking that it was profitable, the Hedong County Guard led the army out, wanting to annihilate this vanguard and severely defeat the momentum of the coalition army. Who knew that Pang Xuan personally supervised the formation, killed the Hedong county guard in front of the formation, and directly took away Anyi. ”
"Greed!"
Lü Buwei said these two words angrily, but he didn't think so.
Who is not greedy for merit among the generals of the Qin army?
Under the huge advantage, the Hedong County Guard did not lead the army to attack, but watched the Zhao army complete the siege preparations, that would be a fool.
It's just that the skills are not as good as others!
Lu Buwei scolded this pig teammate and expressed the grievances in his heart, but when he calmed down, he had to face the reality.
"Defeating the defenders of Anyi with a thousand soldiers, this Pang Xuan is really surprising!"
It has always been a strategy to lure the enemy, and if you are not careful, it is self-defeating.
Pang Xuan, with the respect of the commander of the coalition army, carried out this dangerous strategy, the way of using troops is still secondary, the danger of his means, and the sincerity of meritorious service really made Lu Buwei feel a little cold.
This is a terrible man!
"Luo Wang organized several operations to burn the grain and grass of the coalition army, but Pang Xuan took very strict precautions and did not succeed."
"I know what I am."
Regarding Luo Wang's recent performance, Lu Buwei has become more and more disappointed.
"There is also information that Zhao Shuang is not in Pang Xuan's army."
"Zhao Shuang?"
Lu Buwei wanted to talk about the next topic, but when he heard the name, he stayed for a moment.
"Where is he?"
"Before Pang Xuan defeated Anyi, Zhao Shuang separated from Pang Xuan, and since then, his traces are unknown."
Lu Buwei's heart was inexplicably a little irritable, and he waved his hand.
"In any case, as long as Pusaka is still in his hands, Pang Xuan will not be able to enter the Guanzhong. You go and tell Huan Qi that his 10,000 troops can't move, even if he fights to the last soldier, he will hold on for two months and drag Pang Xuan to the east of the river. ”
As long as Pusaka is still in the hands of the Qin army, then Pang Xuan's army will not be able to get around this nail. If he dared to cross the river and attack Guanzhong, he would be cut off from the grain route and the whole army would be annihilated.
"In addition, you personally went to Hedong to help Huan defend the city. If Kabasaka is lost, the net will no longer exist. ”
Lü Buwei, with the prestige of the Great Qin Xiangbang, even covered the sun, and did not dare to disobey easily.
"Yes!"
"No need!"
A soft voice came, and Wei Zhuang appeared in front of Lu Buwei and the sun.
"Wei Zhuang, what do you mean?"
Occult Sun looked at Wei Zhuang and asked, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his words.
Zhao Shuang led a partial army, galloped two hundred miles in one day and night, crossed Xiayangjin, and captured Linjin Pass. Taking advantage of the fact that the Pusaka defenders had not yet reacted, he took hundreds of his men to disguise themselves as the grain transport fleet of the Qin army, deceived Huan Qi, and joined forces with Pang Xuanli to capture Pusaka. ”
Wei Zhuang told the military situation in front of him word by word. There is no rhetoric, but anyone can feel how fierce the battle is in full swing ahead.
"Pang Xuan! Zhao Shuang! ”
Reading these two names, Lu Buwei stood up. There was nothing that could make Great Qin's Xiangbang so disgraced beforehand, but this time, it was different.
A dead move, in the blink of an eye, lively.
Lü Buwei finally understood the power of these two people.
also understands that these two people are a big trouble that has to be eliminated.
At the moment of standing up, Lu Buwei's body was a little unstable, and he wanted to help him, but Lu Buwei stretched out his hand to stop him.
"It's fine!"
In just a few days, Anyi and Pusaka were lost in a row, and what happened to today's Great Qin, Lu Buwei couldn't be clearer.
Not long ago, the defenders of Hexi rushed to the aid of Shangjun, in other words, for the current Pang Xuan army, the door to Guanzhong has been opened, and he can enter the hinterland of Guanzhong without much effort.
It's just that the more critical it gets, the more calm Lu Buwei becomes.
He straightened his clothes, regained his composure, and summoned all the attendants outside the door.
"Immediately gather the Chinese martial arts of Xianyang City, gather the Xianyang Royal Palace, and discuss the military situation."
