Chapter 68: Guan Long Qin Feng 27
readx;?? The arrival of the main infantry unit of Wang Li's army could not make the Chu army abandon this attack. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info for more exciting novels, please visit However, Zhang Liang knows very well that things have come to this point, and there is no benefit for them to continue fighting.
And Zhang Liang couldn't help but glance at Liu Bang, who had been stupid until now after receiving the news, and sighed secretly in his heart: "Pei Gong, it's too late now, if you can really know the trade-off, then quickly lead the army to withdraw from Wuguan." ”
Zhang Liang didn't take this idea as a suggestion, more because he knew very well that this sentence could not be said by him. The people who could say this couldn't help but bow their heads in the scene.
And Liu Bang only recovered after a long time. He couldn't help clenching his fists tightly and roared in a low voice: "I still have tens of thousands of troops, I haven't lost yet! give them all to me, if I can defeat these Qin dogs, then the entire Guanzhong is mine!"
Liu Bang's low roar made Zhang Liang beside him shake his head slightly, which was also the reason why Zhang Liang thought he couldn't say what he thought.
Liu Bang is now like a gambler with red eyes, once things change a lot, it is difficult for this gambler to listen to other people's words. If you forcibly dissuade the other party, you might even punch the gambler or something.
Although Zhang Liang is a strategist, it does not mean that he will not cherish his feathers and avoid self-infliction.
Zhang Liang wanted to persuade Liu Bang to know that there was such a thing as a degree of advance and retreat. However, can Liu Bang listen to the advice now?
Zhang Liang gently gave the others a look, asking others not to say something that stimulated Liu Bang at such a time, once someone dissuaded Liu Bang at such a time, maybe it might really be bad.
Perhaps, Pei Gong does have to pay some price to know what his goal is. ”
Zhang Liang stood beside Liu Bang and thought of such a situation in his heart.
......
Zhou Bo's troops paid a very heavy price, and they could not bring too much damage to the troops under the command of Nangong before the infantry troops under Wang Li's command converged with the Nangong period, let alone defeat the troops of the Nangong period and seize the initiative on the battlefield.
On the contrary, Zhou Bo, who was unable to achieve this goal, paid an even heavier price, about 600 chariots used to impact the enemy, more than two-thirds of the casualties, and more than 3,000 knights, and basically wiped out the entire army.
Under such a circumstance, Zhou Bo's battle this time can even be regarded as a big defeat.
After seeing Wang Li's infantry troops meet with the troops of the Nangong period, Zhou Bo, who knew that the general trend was gone, had to roar out a sentence: "Let those who are still alive retreat!"
The officers and soldiers around Zhou Bo did not question anything about Zhou Bo's order, because for them, this battle had reached this point and could no longer be fought.
As for Zhou Bojun's retreat, Nangong did not pursue, because this situation did not allow him to do so.
Rashly pursuing the remnants of Zhou Bo would cause his troops to suffer too many casualties, and Nangong would naturally not do such a stupid thing.
After an urgent consultation with Wang Li, the troops of the Nangong period covered the 10,000 people led by a lieutenant under Wang Li's command to the hills, while Wang Li sent another 20,000 men to organize several small battle formations, responsible for covering the 5,000 officers and soldiers who were responsible for building the barracks.
Wang Li's arrangement was also forced to do so. Because in this case, there will be problems with too many people to build the camp. Especially when the Chu army abandoned the defenders of the hill and attacked them directly, maybe they didn't have enough time to react.
To avoid such a situation, Wang Li had no choice but to let these 5,000 people build a small camp to store supplies first.
As for what the situation will be tonight? Wang Li didn't know, so he could only act according to the situation.
......
And Zhou Bo's retreat had a very serious impact on the battle situation of the entire Chu army, especially the troops under the command of Lu Ze, Lu Shizhi and Fan Xu, who had paid considerable casualties among the officers and soldiers under their command, after seeing such a situation, they knew that it was impossible for them to continue to attack next without paying a greater price.
But Fan Xu didn't have anything yet, but for the two brothers Lu Ze and Lu Shizhi, the heavier the casualties of the officers and soldiers under their command, the greater the impact on them in Liu Bang's army.
The relationship between Liu Bang and them has not changed yet, but the two brothers Lu Ze and Lu Shizhi themselves are very clear about one thing, that is, this situation is based on the premise that they can still have a great influence on Liu Bang.
The current Lu family and Liu Bang have actually had a rift for a long time, and the strength of the two brothers, Lu Ze and Lu Shizhi, is the main factor that keeps this rift from expanding.
Once Liu Bang found out that their Lu family's influence was not so great, then maybe it would be the time for Liu Bang to attack their Lu family.
Such a situation has been obvious for a period of time after Liu Changman was born, and the two sides are now short of a suitable opportunity to avoid directly tearing their faces between the two sides.
Thinking of such a situation, the two brothers Lu Ze and Lu Shizhi, on the one hand, sent personnel to inform Fan Xu, and on the other hand, they sent their cronies to explain such a situation to Liu Bang.
They really don't have an effective solution to the problem now.
And if they continue to attack, how much strength will they have left to maintain this relationship between the two sides?
And Fan Xu didn't say anything after knowing this situation, but clearly understood one point, that is, he himself was quite helpless about such a situation. Of course, the casualties among the officers and soldiers under his command can be said to be the heaviest, and the people who wanted to retreat the most were not Lu Ze and Lu Shizhi's two brothers-in-law, but he Fan Xu.
But for many reasons, he can only continue to persevere, because there are some things that he can no longer lead.
The more than 20,000 officers and men under his command paid the price of more than 8,000 casualties in today's fierce battle. Under such a premise, Fan Xu, who knew what the two brothers Lu Ze and Lu Shizhi were planning, also had such an expectation in his heart.
......
Liu Bang knew that the four cronies and generals on the front line, Zhou Bo was defeated and retreated, and Fan Xu, Lu Ze and Lu Shizhi hoped to retreat, which made Liu Bang want to roar and let the four of them continue to fight with Qin Gou.
But before Zhang Liang could say his plan, he couldn't help but step on him.
Liu Bang felt a pain in the instep of his foot, and after reacting, he looked at Zhang Liang and asked the other party: "What does Mr. Zifang think about this?"
After Zhang Liang heard such a sentence, he knew that Liu Bang knew what to do, and his words of inquiry were actually more about asking him to give the other party a step.
Zhang Liang, who felt a little funny about such a situation, pretended to think about it for a while before saying: "Pei Gong, it's getting late at this time, let's let the soldiers rest for a while, and it's safer to make plans tomorrow." ”
Hearing Zhang Liang's words, Liu Bang nodded along the way: "Since this is the case, then do what Mr. Zifang said." ”
......
The Chu army retreated, and at such a time, the 10,000 people under the command of Wang Li's army once again entered the mountain with the corresponding supplies.
Seeing this scene, Li Ping, Zhuang Guang and Zhu Ting were all in mixed moods.
They certainly held the barracks, but the price they paid was a little too great.
Of the more than 6,000 people, including Zhu Ting's more than 1,000 reinforcements, less than 2,000 were able to hold out until the reinforcements arrived, and more than 2,000 people were basically wounded.
It can be said that the more than 6,000 of them, if compared according to the battle losses, can even be regarded as the total annihilation.
After formally handing over the defense of this dilapidated camp to this lieutenant named Niu Xu, Li Ping, Zhuang Guang, and Zhu Ting let the living officers and soldiers, with the help of some new troops, transport the bodies of the war dead to the bottom of the mountain.
Some of the seriously injured were sent down the hill by other wagons after further treatment.
For the survivors, the war can be considered to be over for the time being. However, according to the calculation of Zhang Jiashi's losses after a period of time, the main force of the 10,000-strong convict army, from Commander Li Cang to an ordinary convict officer and soldier, suffered nearly 9,000 casualties.
If it weren't for the fact that there were still 5,000 prisoner troops under the command of Huang Bu, I am afraid that Zhang Jiashi would have to reorganize the prisoner army almost completely.
............................................................ Dividing line ..........................................
At this time, Zhang Jiashi did not know that the prisoner army under his command had suffered heavy losses. But before getting such bad news, Zhang Jiashi got a very good piece of good news.
That is, Gao Jian, the county guard of Longxi County and one of the fierce generals of the original Northern Frontier Army, sent an envoy to announce his surrender to Zhang Jiashi.
Of course, unlike Zhang Jiashi's joy when he received the news, Chen Ping and Sun Po expressed some doubts about such a thing.
That's because Gao Jian's evaluation among the Northern Frontier Army doesn't seem to be very good.
For this reason, Zhang Jiashi also found a room overnight that was going to return to Liaodong and go to North Korea a few days later to inquire about the matter.
......
Zhang Jiashi's feelings about the room can be said to be quite complicated.
Although Xianyang City has become such a situation now, neither he nor Jian needs to bear any responsibility.
But the reality is that both he and the other have to be responsible for such a situation, and someone must bear the responsibility for the destruction of the general area of Xianyang City by fire, and the heavy casualties of civilians and officials.
This responsibility cannot be borne by him, and he has become the best person to deserve.
It can be said that Zhang Jiashi is also very remorseful for the middle.
However, after seeing the rather calm expression, Zhang Jiashi found that he couldn't seem to say any comforting words at such a time.
And I didn't pay too much attention to Zhang Jiashi's expression.
Chen Ping and Sun Po couldn't help but glance at each other after seeing such a situation. Because both of them know very well that at this time, the results of that kind of thing can no longer be reversed between the two sides.
And the thing that relieved the two of them was that Zhang Jiashi and Jian did not have a rift because of this incident.
After knowing what Chen Ping said, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, because he was not very familiar with Gao Jian.
Although both had served as senior officers in the Northern Frontier Army. But Gao Jian has always been a member of the Longxi County Soldier Troop System, and he and Su Jiao are the officers of the Northern Xinjiang Army in the Yunzhong and Dai County areas.
After hearing such a thing, Chen Ping and Sun Po couldn't help frowning. Because after saying such a situation, they knew that they were probably unable to make a more accurate evaluation of Gao Jian.
But this does not mean that Chen Ping and Sun Po have no way to deal with such a situation.
After some contemplation, Chen Ping said a method that even felt that he was not very kind:
"Your Majesty, if Gao Junshou really intends to serve the king, then why not let Gao Junshou lead the army to persecute Yongdu's children?"
Chen Ping's method is undoubtedly a good plan. For Gao Jian, he wants to wait for the trust of Zhang Jiashi and others, and such a letter of nomination is necessary.
Of course, Bai Qi reminded Zhang Jiashi of one thing, that is, the current situation, no matter whether Gao Jian's surrender is sincere or has other plans, the troops stationed in Hexi Road and Dibu should not be moved lightly.
That is to say, in a short period of time, it will be difficult for Zhang Jiashi to draw a force with sufficient strength and combat effectiveness from the military forces near him to support Wang Li's troops.
Han Xin's headquarters stationed in Lantian should not be moved lightly. Because Zhang Jiashi asked Han Xin to be stationed in the Lantian camp, firstly, so that the residents evacuated from Xianyang had a safe place to live, and secondly, Han Xin's subordinate was one of the main forces responsible for supporting Hangu Pass.
Once the Hangu Pass is in an emergency, the troops under Han Xin's command are the best reinforcements.
Zhang Jiashi was very helpless to find a situation, that is, now his territory can be regarded as getting bigger and bigger, but his troops are becoming more and more stretched.
Except for a few border counties where the troops were originally relatively weak, and the troops could not be moved lightly, the only place where Zhang Jiashi could recruit and transfer troops nearby was Taiyuan County.
But at present, relying on Taiyuan County alone to bring violent soldiers, let's not talk about whether this is considered killing chickens and eggs, but there is more of a problem, that is, if you really want to be a violent soldier, how much combat effectiveness these recruits can exert is still a question.
Zhang Jiashi doesn't want his own troops to be more, but this extra strength will become a pit at any time.
If such a situation really happens, he will want to die.
......
Gao Jian's affairs don't need to be arranged by Zhang Jiashi personally.
After Chen Ping and Sun Po retired, Zhang Jiashi stayed for dinner.
Except for a very small number of three people, no one else could know what Zhang Jiashi had talked about with him.
But many people know that on this night, he fell drunk in Zhang Jiashi's mansion and rested for a night.
A few days later, he was appointed by Zhang Jiashi as the general of the Korean region, while Su Jiao was transferred to the county guard of Liaodong County, and Li Zuoche was transferred over, and then the arrangements were made according to the details.
What Zhang Jiashi didn't expect was that after this meeting, they met again, in 203 BC.
...................................................... Dividing Line................................................
In the next few days, no large-scale war broke out between the two armies of Wang Lijun and Liu Bangjun.
With the exception of a few skirmishes, the two sides engaged in a stalemate in the vicinity of Jia County.
In fact, in contrast to Liu Bangjun's situation, Wang Lijun's army built several small defensive camps that could support each other within a few days, with the small mountain fortress as the core.
Liu Bangjun was not unaware of such a situation, on the contrary, according to Liu Bang's thoughts, he was even eager to defeat the Qin army on the opposite side in one fell swoop, rather than letting them build a complete set of defense systems so easily.
Zhang Liang advised Liu Bang that in such a situation, it would not be easy for them to destroy the defense system of the fallen room. Because the Qin troops in the small hill camp will not be indifferent to their attacks.
If you want to solve this Qin army, it is inevitable to capture this camp.
However, in such a situation, they are not prepared enough, and even if they fight hard with each other again, they may only end up fighting a few days ago.
Relative to the Qin army troops in charge of defense, after a few battles a few days ago, the more than 100,000 people under Liu Bang's command were reduced by more than 40,000.
Although they did occupy Chia County. But Zhang Liang and others are very clear that they have lost the initiative.
A few days later, Liu Bang also understood that it was becoming more and more difficult to break through from Wuguan Dao head-on, and he couldn't help but think of the advice that Zhang Liang gave him before.
That is, they crossed Danshui, and then captured Hanzhong County, and Xu Tu planned later.
Zhang Liang wanted to scold Liu Bang very much, but out of his own self-cultivation and education, Zhang Liang just shook his head very calmly: "Pei Gong, the times are changing, and the other side already has the ability to launch a fierce attack on us while we are crossing the river." If we cross the river at this time, I am afraid that it will only end badly. ”
Zhang Liang himself was no longer optimistic about his original plan, and Liu Bang could only nod in frustration after hearing such a thing.
And Zhang Liang has another worry in his heart, that is, against the Qin army opposite, the tens of thousands of people under Liu Bang's command will also face a dilemma that may come soon, that is, lack of food.
Although they obtained Wuguan and obtained control of Wuguan Road from Nanyang County to Jia County, it did not mean that at such a time, their grain supply was sufficient.
In fact, on the contrary, the counties controlled by Nanyang County can be said to have been looted long ago, even if they borrow grain from Han Cheng in Yingchuan County, I am afraid it will be just a drop in the bucket.
At that time, Zhang Liang believed that Liu Bangjun's attack on Hanzhong actually had this consideration.
No matter what the situation is. Once they fall into a stalemate with the Qin army, the more they number, the more they will suffer.
Zhang Liang is a warlock, but it doesn't mean that he can directly create food out of nothing.
In order to avoid this situation from appearing in advance, or to take precautions, Zhang Liang said at this time:
"Pei Gong, if possible, let's let the hunters in the army go into the mountains to hunt and stock up on food. ”
Zhang Liang didn't expect that he would regret his suggestion a few days later......
