Chapter 771: The situation is critical
Han Yu and Han Joo are the two people with the highest status in South Korea, one of them is in charge of the court and the other is in charge of the school palace, and the two of them are the heaven of Korea and the land of Korea, but now the two of them are sad about the bad news that keeps coming from all over the country.
"This matter is led by the Jixia School Palace to let us unite with the Zhao State to carve up the Qin State, and now that the war has reached the current situation, the Jixia School Palace can't ignore it, and must ask them for help. Han Yu looked at Han Zhou and said.
"A letter for help has been sent. Han Zhou said coldly: "But without Lord Han Changming, my Korea's voice in the Jixia School Palace has greatly declined, and the Jixia School Palace may not take care of us." ”
"Then ask for help from the Continental Alliance. Han Yu said loudly: "The purpose of the establishment of the Continental Alliance is to quell the wars of the nations, Han, Zhao and Qin are all big powers, so don't the Continental Alliance care and let us fight a tripartite war?"
"Previously, when we joined forces with Zhao to attack Qin, the masters of Jixia Academy and Bailu Academy had already given a warning to the Continental Alliance, and they would not care, and at that time, Qin had written to the Continental Alliance, asking the Continental Alliance to severely punish Han and Zhao, and the Continental Alliance did not deal with Qin at that time, at this time, let's go to the Continental Alliance, the Continental Alliance has no face, it can be said that the road of the Zhao Continental Alliance has been blocked by us. Han Zhou's face was ugly.
"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, so what should I do now?" Han Yu said angrily.
"Now, only the whole country is mobilized. Han Zhou said: "Judging from the battle reports on the front line, the number of the Qin army is not many but all of them are elite, except for the army guarding the imperial capital, almost no army in my South Korea can compete with the Qin army, since the same military strength can't compete, then use the number of people to crush them, isn't the Qin army each one as ten?" Then let's use twenty times the strength of the army to deal with them, our Korea's comprehensive national strength far exceeds that of the Qin State, fighting such a war of attrition, the Qin State is by no means our opponent, and this has another advantage, if the battlefield casualties are too large, those high Holy Gates will never sit idly by, if all the people are dead, who will serve them?"
Han Yu gasped and said, "If the national mobilization order is used, will this make a bit of a big fuss?" We still have two million troops in the front-line coalition army, these people should be enough, right?"
"More than a million people are gone in the blink of an eye, and how long can an army of two million resist. Han Zhou said coldly: "Your Majesty, please give an order." ”
Han Yu looked at Han Zhou, he knew very well what Han Zhou wanted to do when he encouraged him to use the national mobilization order, but he had no choice, sitting in this position, many things could not be left to him, if he didn't mobilize the whole country now, I was afraid that once the front line failed, he, the emperor, would have to do the end, but if he used the strength of the whole country to resist Qin, even if he won the Qin State and lost too much, he would have to play, Han Zhou and the others did not give him any choice at all.
Clenched his fists, Han Yu said coldly: "What about Shi Dang? Because of him, Lord Han Changming is dead, he can't keep him, he has to go to the funeral." ”
A hint of strangeness flashed in Han Zhou's eyes, he shook his head, and said, "This person can't be killed." ”
"Why can't you kill him?" Han Yu said angrily: "Last time, I was going to kill him, but you stopped him, a general, give you a face, just don't kill him, but now this person has lost millions of troops in Hangu Pass, and even killed my hero Han Changming, how can you keep him." ”
"He was taken a good seat by the people above. Han Zhou hesitated, pointed to the top of his head, and said, "The reason why Han Changming died on the battlefield to protect him is also because of this reason, before the big man above has spoken, Shi Dangdang can't touch him no matter what trouble he causes." ”
Han Yu angrily flipped out all the things on the table in front of him, and said angrily: "This person had better not cause me any more trouble, otherwise even if there is a noble person behind him to help, I will kill him!"
After a pause, Han Yu directly called the eunuch in charge and said, "Tell the ministers, I have something to announce!"
Soon, the news that South Korea mobilized the whole country to fight against Qin spread throughout South Korea, and all the Koreans were shocked, the national mobilization order was a great thing in all countries, and it was not allowed to act rashly until the country survived, and now because of the only Qin state, South Korea used the national mobilization order, and all the Koreans seemed to know the small border country around them for the first time.
At the same time, Zhao increased his troops by 2 million and brazenly sent troops to Hangu Pass.
Hangu Pass.
"Report, the Han and Zhao coalition army of five million has arrived in Hanshui City, less than two hundred miles away from Hanjiang City, the Han and Zhao coalition forces are menacing, whether to open all the defenses in the city in advance, please decide. ”
"Report, Your Majesty has led an army of 500,000 to ten miles outside the city, and the eunuch has arrived at Hangu Pass, please come forward to greet you. ”
Wang Jian listened to the reports of the two scouts, then looked at the soldiers around him and said, "Everyone, go out to greet Your Majesty first." ”
"Yes. ”
The gate of Hangu Pass was suddenly opened, Wang Jian led a group of generals of Hangu Pass more than 100 people and tens of thousands of troops lined up outside Hangu Pass, waiting for Wang Mang's arrival, Wang Mang's army marched extremely fast, Wang Jian and others opened the door to meet less than a quarter of an hour, Wang Mang's forward army arrived at Hangu Pass a few miles outside the camp, and then Wang Mang's army of 100,000 people marched slowly with banners, and soon arrived in front of Hangu Pass.
"Ministers, see Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!"
Wang Jian knelt down with tens of thousands of people at the same time, shouting long live to Wang Mang, and the voices of the soldiers of Hangu Pass continued to echo around the entire Hangu Pass.
Li Lan stepped into the air and shouted: "Your Majesty has a decree, the officers and soldiers of the three armies are all meritorious ministers, and the imperial court will greatly reward them, please get up." ”
"Thank you, Lord Longen!" Wang Jian took tens of thousands of people to drink at the same time, and then got up, the tens of thousands of people brought out by Wang Jian were all tall and handsome young people, standing outside Hangu Pass but like an elite soldier standing outside the city, Wang Mang stepped out of the cart, saw these soldiers couldn't help but nodded, and glanced at Li Lan, Li Lan said: "Your Majesty has a decree, please Wang Jian and other generals to come to discuss the matter." ”
Wang Jian and other generals soon arrived in Wang Mang's tent, and after Wang Mang saw Wang Jian, he said, "What is the movement of the Han and Zhao coalition forces now?"
Wang Jian reported to Wang Mang the news that the five million Han and Zhao coalition troops had appeared in Hanshui City, and it was only more than two hundred miles away from Hangu Pass, Wang Mang frowned slightly, and said, "How many people are in the pass now?"
"Now there are 200,000 defenders of Hangu Pass, 100,000 elites under General Li Guang, and another 20,000 elite soldiers are watching the more than 200,000 Han and Zhao coalition troops who surrendered in the first battle of Hanjiang City. Wang Jian frowned and said: "Now with the 500,000 people brought by His Majesty, the actual defenders of Hangu Pass are only 800,000 people, and in the face of the Han and Zhao coalition army of 5 million, it is really a bit less." ”
Wang Mang nodded, called Li Lan, and said, "Ask where Wang Jitang's soldiers and horses are." ”
"Yes. "Li Lan ordered to go out.
Wang Mang looked at Wang Jian again and said: "First arrange these 500,000 people to enter the city, you are also familiar with the generals of these people, they are all your old comrades-in-arms and old subordinates, you directly arrange them, just tell me afterwards, and let's go into the city to talk about other things." ”
Wang Mang said, and called a few generals with the army, let them and the guards of Hangu Pass docked, then Wang Yi and Deng Zhong arranged to gradually march to Hangu Pass, and Wang Mang and Wang Jian and others entered Hangu Pass, Li Guang and Cheng Buzhi had already been waiting in the city, and saw Wang Mang first salute Wang Mang, and then Li Guang said: "Your Majesty, the minister heard the news, this time the Han and Zhao coalition forces went crazy, and directly sent five million troops to Hangu Pass, and they were not afraid that these five million people would all fold here to cause their domestic turmoil." ”
"There is no way, Han and Zhao are both big countries in the Central Plains, and their comprehensive national strength far exceeds that of Qin, and using five million men and horses will not hurt their foundation, but if my Qin State wants to use so many people, I am afraid that it will also use most of the national strength. Wang Mang shook his head and said, "I have heard that the Korean Emperor Han Yu issued a national mobilization order to recruit all men over the age of sixteen in South Korea to join the army.
"Your Majesty, my Great Qin has its own blessing, and South Korea has gone against the grain, and I swear that I will be punished by God. Wang Jian said solemnly: "Only if I, Daqin, have a saint like Your Majesty, can the country last long." ”
"Heaven's damnation?" Wang Mang smiled, looked at Cheng Buzhi and said: "Although that Shi Dangdang is not dead, I heard that you and Huo Qubing killed Han Changming, this Han Changming is a big man in South Korea, and his death is equivalent to a reduction of South Korea's national strength by half, no wonder after he was killed, Han Yu issued a national mobilization order with red eyes." ”
"It's a pity that Shi Dangdang ran away again. Cheng Buzhi said: "But General Huo Qubing has already gone to chase after him, and General Huo Qubing has personally taken action, so Shi Dare will have to offer his head sooner or later." ”
"It's fine. Wang Mang waved his hand, looked left and right, and said: " The sages of Jixia Academy and Bailu Academy calculated that Shi Dangdang's luck was inexplicably connected with my Daqin's luck, so it was determined that Shi Dangdang was my Daqin's destined enemy, and it would bring unparalleled damage to my Daqin, and this enemy I admitted, but this injury is a bit nonsense, not to mention anything else, since this Shi Dang was on the battlefield, in addition to giving me Daqin a head and military merit and equipment, he has won us for a while, if I want to say, this Shi Dare is not killed, let him be the captain of the transportation brigade for us. ”
Transport Captain?
Wang Mang gave Shi Dangdang a nickname and fell into the ears of the generals, everyone was stunned, and then Wang Jian preemptively smiled and said: "Your Majesty, this nickname for Shi Dangdang is good, apt and incisive, and perfectly summarizes the role of Shi Dangdang on my Daqin, with such a transport captain, our Daqin's soldiers don't have to worry about the weapons they need to go to the battlefield, in my opinion, don't call Shi Dangdang a waste in the future, just call him the captain of the transport brigade." ”
With Wang Jian taking the lead, Wang Mang gave Shi Gandang a nickname and was quickly recognized by a group of Qin generals, and when this nickname later reached Shi Kangdang's ears, Shi Gandang almost fainted, which is more ruthless than saying that he is a waste, with this nickname, no matter which big man wants to use him in the future, he must also think about it, but this is another story.
Li Lan came in at this time and reported: "Your Majesty, Wang Jitang's 200,000 horses will be able to resist Hangu Pass as soon as tomorrow. ”
"How far is he from Hangu Pass?" Wang Mang said.
"More than a hundred miles. Li Lan said: "After General Wang Jitang received His Majesty's holy decree, he immediately rushed to Hangu Pass with his men and horses, and there was no delay along the way, they marched all the way, planning to rest today and appear in Hangu Pass in the best condition tomorrow. ”
"It's not an outing, but if you want the best state, send someone to tell him, just say what I said, his men and horses don't come tonight, and he won't use them tomorrow. Wang Mang said lightly.
Li Lan nodded hurriedly, and then quickly ordered someone to pass the will of the Son of Heaven to Wang Jitang's army, Wang Jitang didn't need to ask, he accepted the order with sincerity and fear, and then the whole army continued to rush towards Hangu Pass, as a former rebel general, although Wang Mang and the lords of the court have now accepted Wang Jitang, Wang Jitang is still cautious, that is one hundred and two percent to complete the task assigned by Wang Mang.
Wang Mang called Li Lan again and said, "Go and tell Wang Yongji, let him hurry up and come to Hanguguan, hasn't Zhuge Yu already arrived in Chang'an?" Let him hurry up and hand over the work, I want to see him and the 500,000 horses he recruited as soon as possible, the situation here in Hanguguan is so critical, I don't have time to let him delay his efforts in Chang'an, tell him that it was he who cried and shouted to come to Hanguguan, and if he didn't want to come now, don't come." ”
"Yes. Li Lan hurriedly ran out again and ordered someone to deliver the decree.
Wang Mang looked at Wang Jian and said: "If you add Wang Jitang's 200,000 horses, Hangu Pass will have a full army of one million, such an army is already equivalent to one-third of my Great Qin's military strength, and the general thinks that with the natural danger of Hangu Pass, can it be held." ”
"Relying only on the original city defense of Hangu Pass, frankly speaking, unless a small half of this million people are strong men under the command of General Li Guang, Hangu Pass will definitely not be able to hold it. Wang Jian said: "But I heard that Cheng Buzhi General and the city defense of my Hangu Pass has been greatly improved, and it depends on what Cheng Buzhi General has to say about the city defense." ”
Cheng Buzhi said directly: "If the other party is an ordinary army of five million, then the city defense of Hangu Pass is enough for one million people to hold for a hundred days, but if there are some special people among those five million people, the city defense of Hangu Pass is not very safe, and we are still a little lacking in troops." ”
"I heard that the straight road has been completed, can you transfer some soldiers and horses from Northwest Cloud City? Wang Jian said.
"No, I can't. Wang Mang shook his head directly and said: "On the grassland, King Zuo Xian died in Yunzhong City, Tiemu Zhen is ambitious in the eastern grassland with the overlord bow, and the four major tribes of the grassland are also ready to move, the entire eastern grassland is like a powder keg that will explode at this moment, and we must leave enough soldiers and horses in Yunzhong City, otherwise it is difficult to guarantee that there will not be a red-eyed grassland force to come to my Daqin to find a bargaining chip to turn over." ”
"Then can we use the army of Zhengnan?" Wang Jian said again: "There are 500,000 people in the army of Zhengnan, if they are mobilized, the pressure on us here will be eased a lot. ”
"No, it doesn't. Wang Mang said: "The goal of the southern army this time is Shu, if we can defeat Shu, my Daqin will not have a shortage of materials from now on, this is the foundation of my Daqin for thousands of years, I can't afford to lose, this matter still needs to be discussed in the long run, let me think about it."
