readx;?? The Julu battlefield once again presented a relatively chaotic situation. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info.vd.m

Although King Wuchen of Zhao was defeated and committed suicide, in the face of the coalition of princes, including the Chu army that was still stagnant, Zhang Jiashi, Wang Li and Zhang Han, as the commanders of the three forces of the Great Qin Empire, did not act too rashly.

Especially as it was very likely that it was necessary to directly confront the more than 200,000 people under the command of the three princes' armies of Wei and Zang Di, Zhang Jiashi did not take any large-scale action in a few days, but only sent a large number of scout troops to reconnoiter the main movements of the princes' coalition forces.

......

During these few days, Wang Li and Zhang Han's troops defeated the small princes' army who were used as cannon fodder. In particular, in a battle about 7 kilometers south of Julu City on August 14, Zhang Ping, the son of Zhang Han, led an army of 50,000 and defeated the opponent's army of 30,000 princes.

The record of beheading more than 6,000 people is in a sense a big book.

It's just that Zhang Han is not in a good mood. Because soon after this battle, the Chu army went against the norm and made a detour directly from the area of Qinghe County further south to about ten kilometers off the Thorn Plain, where his garrison was located, and set up camp.

Zhang Han was not afraid of Chu Jun and Xiang Yu, an unknown junior, but Zhang Han had to be wary of the warnings that Zhang Jiashi specially sent to him.

In fact, Zhang Jiashi directly troubled Zhang Han for Xiang Yu like this, although it was indeed a little strange to receive this news at the beginning, but soon, Zhang Jiashi then realized what the hell was going on.

Xiang Yu waved his army to trouble Zhang Han like this, in fact, it was not an irregular move. The reason is that Xiang Liang was defeated and killed by Zhang Han after the battle of Dingtao, and in terms of Xiang Yu's character, Xiang Liang's death could not make him haunted.

Because of this, Zhang Jiashi knew that although Zhang Han was the head of the three strongest Qin army troops on the surface, for Xiang Yu, Zhang Han was not worth his fear and worry.

On the contrary, it was the weakest Liaodong army under his command, Xiang Yu was not interested, or Xiang Yu reached some conditions with those princes who were still watching from the wall, and he couldn't know.

However, in any case, after receiving such a news, Zhang Jiashi not only sent people to warn Zhang Han, but also ordered the officers and soldiers under his command to be vigilant and ready to fight at any time.

According to his discussion with Chen Pingren, perhaps when Xiang Yu's Chu army and Zhang Han's army came into contact and fought, those princes would not necessarily attack him, but once the situation progressed to a certain extent, then, no matter whether the direction of the battle situation was good or bad for these princes' coalition forces, the three armies of Qi Guotian Heng, Wei Wei Bao and Zang Di would also start to act.

While agreeing with Chen Ping's opinion, Sun Po also expressed his own thoughts, that is, once that Chu army officially engaged Zhang Han, then the other party was likely to start an offensive against the Liaodong army under Zhang Jiashi's command at the same time.

This is not an alarmist thing, but quite likely.

According to Sun Po's speculation, once such a situation occurs, it will be difficult for Wang Lijun, who should have no combat mission, to deploy a large number of troops to support them under the counterattack of those small princes who are still quite powerful despite several defeats.

This means that once such a situation occurs, the sixty or seventy thousand people under the command of their Liaodong Army are likely to need to directly face the alliance of more than 200,000 princes.

The personnel, including Han Xin, looked at each other after hearing Sun Po's speculation. It's not that Han believes that they can't believe in their own ability, it's not that they can't trust the officers and soldiers under their command, and it's not that they can't believe that Zhang Jiashi can command them to victory. It's about how they should respond in front of these 200,000 people.

......

In contrast to the two friendly armies of Wang Lijun and Zhang Han's army, the knights and light chariot troops under Zhang Jiashi's command were relatively ahead in quantity and quality.

Zhang Jiashi gathered in the camp in the north of Julu City this time, there were 20,000 knights, and the chariot troops also reached more than 1,000.

According to Han Xin and others, they took defense as an attack, and when the princes' alliance army attacked, they used knights and light chariot troops to attack the other side, which might be able to cause the other party to suffer heavy losses.

However, the more prudent Jian opposed Han Xin's opinion, because after Jian said a sentence, Han Xin and the others were also silent:

"If so, what kind of situation should we put our infantry units in?"

No one took the words lightly, because even Han Xin and He Huai, who were inclined to use knights and chariots to attack the enemy, knew very well that a larger number of infantry troops was the key to leading the direction of the battle.

At this time, Zhang Jiashi did not say anything, but focused his attention on the current camp of the three large princes' armies.

He pondered for a long time, and suddenly thought of a question, that is, even if the Three Kingdoms Alliance was indeed preparing to launch an offensive together with the other princes' armies, which army would be the vanguard?

After he said this question, Chen Ping and Sun Po were slightly stunned, because they really didn't expect that this question would also affect many things.

According to the judgment of Chen Ping and Sun Po, the strongest Qi army, out of many aspects, is unlikely to become the vanguard force, after all, Tian Heng, the commander of Qi State, has the capital not to do this kind of thing.

But Wei Bao and Zang Di couldn't refuse this question, because the military rations of the two of them were most likely supplied by the Qi army. Once the two of them reject this proposal, although it is unlikely that Tian Heng will directly oppose the other two, it will not be too much of a problem to cut off the food supply of the two armies and force the other party to submit.

Therefore, among the princes of the Three Kingdoms, Zang Di and Wei Bao are not much different in strength, and the possibility of being driven as a vanguard force should be equal.

And after hearing the analysis of Chen Ping and Sun Po, Han Xin suddenly thought of a question, that is, why did they keep cutting off the grain routes of the princes' alliance?

Zhang Jiashi shook his head and smiled slightly: "Captain Han don't worry, although it is difficult for us to cut off the enemy's grain route on land at this time, but think, don't forget that we have a strong army of Lou Chuanshi." No matter how bad it is, the enemy's grain team dares to cross the river in Jishui, and our Lou Boat Soldier unit wants to defeat the other side, and the problem is not too big. ”

Zhang Jiashi's words were mainly because he had thought of such a question a long time ago. The transportation of grain and grass by hundreds of thousands of troops is quite stressful. However, it does not mean that a few thousand cavalry can easily defeat what should be considered a considerable grain transport team.

At the very least, Zhang Jiashi didn't think that in a place where there was basically a flat river, there would be any effect on using surprise soldiers to raid the opponent's grain transportation team.

On the contrary, the Lou Chuanshi troops only needed to go upriver at the mouth of the Jishui Sea and intercept the Qi State's grain convoy in the Jishui River, and Zhang Jiashi, who was confident that the Qi State did not have much strength to repel the Lou Chuanshi troops under Qin Min's command, could be said to be quite satisfied with the order he had conveyed to Qin Min a few days earlier.

Of course, there is also a problem with this, that is, the Lou Ship Soldier Army under Qin Min is likely to have only one chance to severely damage the fleet of the Qi State.

After all, the current Jishui is not as wide as the Yellow River that seized Jishui into the sea (1855) in later generations, and once the Qi State really has countermeasures, it is very unlikely that Qin Min will want to repeat the old tricks.

Therefore, Zhang Jiashi did not mention this matter before, more because he did not have much confidence in whether Qin Min could succeed this time.

Compared with such a situation, Zhang Jiashi was more concerned about a question, that is, whether he should mobilize an army to raid a city that was likely to be the only way for the Qi State grain transportation team to slow down the enemy's grain transportation team and make the enemy army fall into panic.

It's just that, after careful consideration, Zhang Jiashi gave up this idea, which is indeed very tempting, but in fact it is difficult to work.

After all, even if such a force can really occupy such a key point, the question is, can this place be held under the desperate onslaught of the Qi ** team?

Once the troops in this city were besieged by the Qi Legion, there was no point in doing so.

After all, Zhang Jiashi himself knew very well that the troops he could mobilize at hand were just that.

Under such a premise, even if Zhang Jiashi wanted to do this, under the premise of insufficient troops, it was better to give up this unrealistic idea than to send people to death.

Because Zhang Jiashi did not intend to go directly south to the Central Plains under such a circumstance, and engage in a melee with the princes' army.

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

Within a few days, except for Wang Lijun, who was located around Julu County, and those small princes' coalition forces fell into a melee, Zhang Han, who basically shrank his forces to Julu City and the Thorn Plains military camp, and Zhang Jiashi, who had an attitude of "the enemy does not move, I will not move", and dealt with the three major princes, the two divisions were very peaceful.

The Chu army surprised many people and did not directly attack Zhang Han's department, and the teams of Tian Heng, Wei Bao, and Zang Di also seemed to respond to the movements of the Chu army, and there has been no move to send troops until now.

For these small-scale coalition forces of the princes, Wang Li defeated the other party many times in a few days, but when the capture was not too much, he slowly moved the garrison forward, and the defenders of Zhang Jiashi, Zhang Han, and Julu City showed a trend of fighting.

Except for the fact that the entire Julu battlefield is relatively "lively" near Julu City, other places can be regarded as very quiet.

Of course, Zhang Jiashi knew very well that this was just an illusion.

Because the two enemy armies that can really dominate the Julu battlefield have not yet moved, even if the armies of those small princes are all wiped out, it is more just a small weight in the victory scale of their sidelineup.

Although Zhang Jiashi didn't want the war situation to develop like this, you know, his target was the Xianyang area, and if he dragged on here for too long, once things were like history, he was picked up by Liu Bang, an old rascal, and he didn't have a place to cry?

But Zhang Jiashi doesn't dare to act rashly now, the entire battle situation of Julu can now be said to be a matter of moving the whole body, once something really goes wrong, I'm afraid, not to mention Xianyang, just whether Jixian can hold it is a very cruel problem.

The current Jixian County, that is, is defended by less than 3,000 troops under the command of Shusun Zhong, in such a situation, once Zhang Jiashi is defeated and retreats, he has to order Shusun Zhong to also give up Jixian County, and strive to hold Liaoxi.

Once it really develops into such a situation, the goal of westward expansion this time can even be said to be a complete failure.

Therefore, before things changed and he was able to let go of his actions, even if Zhang Jiashi was unwilling, he couldn't lose what could be regarded as his best opportunity in these years because of impulsiveness.

......

Time passes day by day, and I have to say that these princes who are watching from the wall are really able to endure it.

In the past ten days, the troops of these minor princes have suffered heavy losses. Even Wang Li's troops can be said to be quite tired.

The two sides have a "tacit understanding" of mutual truce, and then enter the stage of "healing".

And Zhang Jiashi and Zhang Han, except for occasionally sending people to escort grain and grass to subsidize Wang Lijun, there was no movement.

According to Dong Peng, who came to contact again, Zhang Han received a secret order from Xianyang, although he didn't know what was going on, but from Zhang Han's expression, he could know that the content mentioned in this secret order would not be a good thing.

Zhang Jiashi knew that in this respect, there was no need for Dong Fei to make up a lie to deceive him, he pondered for a while and asked the other party: "I don't know what is the important matter of General Dong's arrival this time?"

Hearing Zhang Jiashi's inquiry, Dong Fei lowered his head, as if he had made up his mind, and said to Zhang Jiashi: "The general is going to take the initiative to attack the Chu army after a period of time, and then ...... I hope that General Zuo can work together. ”

When Zhang Jiashi heard this, his expression suddenly became a little angry, because he knew very well that what Dong Peng said was not so much a coordination as an "order" modified by Dong Fei without authorization.

Zhang Jiashi didn't blame Dong Fei, he knew that this anger should not be vented on the very innocent Dong Peng.

But before Zhang Jiashi could say anything, Zhang Jiashi heard what Chen Ping said to Dong Peng: "General Zhang Shang is very majestic, which also embarrass General Dong who is caught in the middle." ”

Obviously, Chen Ping, who said such a sentence, naturally understood what Dong Fei meant in this sentence.

Dong Peng opened his mouth, and finally had to bow his head and sigh.

He did revise the words conveyed by Zhang Han, because he knew very well that Zhang Jiashi and the Liaodong Army, who even ignored the decrees of Xianyang, would obey the battle order of a so-called general?

He didn't dare to say the original words that Zhang Han brought to him: "You tell Zhang Jiashi that in the name of the general, I ordered him to attack the princes' army behind the fortress." ”

He knew very well that once he relayed such a sentence, the possibility that he would be able to get out of the Liaodong Army camp alive...... Will there still be?

Not only that, Dong Peng did not give Zhang Han a military order that was actually handed over to Zhang Jiashi.

After leaving the barracks for a while and seeing the barracks of Wang Lijun in the distance, Dong Peng had the courage to open the bamboo slips of the military order and browse it......

I have to say that for the first time in his life, Dong Peng felt scared. If Dong Fei may dare to say Zhang Han's words, he will definitely not dare to transfer this thing to Zhang Jiashi.

Because the former is very likely to die, while the latter ...... It is certain death.

This is also the words that Dong Peng had to spend a long time to think of such a phrase to observe Zhang Jiashi's reaction.

Zhang Jiashi was indeed a little angry, but when he saw Dong Fei's expression, he remembered a question, that is, Dong Fei could not have only brought such a "sentence" over.

He looked at Dong Peng, who was glared at by Ruan Weng Shao, Han Xin and others, bowed his head and did not say a word, and said a sentence that made Dong Fei sit paralyzed on the ground: "General Dong, hand over Zhang Han's words and some things." “

......

After Zhang Jiashi handed the bamboo slip to Chen Ping, he looked at Dong Ping quietly, feeling very sorry for such a competent soldier.

This kind of thing has nothing to do with Dong Fei, not only that, but Dong Fei even had to think of such an idea that made him embarrassed for the relationship between the two parties, which made Zhang Jiashi feel uncomfortable for Dong Fei.

After Chen Ping read the contents of the bamboo slip, he didn't say anything directly, but handed the bamboo slip to Sun Po.

In this way, this bamboo slip, which was not too much in content, was quickly read by the civil and military generals in the camp tent.

A lieutenant Sima carefully put the bamboo slip in front of Zhang Jiashi, Zhang Jiashi slowly grabbed the bamboo slip and smiled coldly: "General Zhang Shang is obviously forced by the Xianyang side, so he will have such disrespectful words." This can be understood by Lone Nature, but is it Lonely...... Do you need to take care of anything in Zhanghan?"

Hearing Zhang Jiashi's words, Dong Fei first felt that something was wrong, and then after hearing Zhang Jiashi claim to be lonely, his expression suddenly changed greatly.

Zhang Jiashi naturally saw Dong Fei's expression in his eyes, but he didn't care too much, but smiled at Dong Fei: "Perhaps, General Dong has understood something, since this is the case, Gu is not hiding it." That's right, Gu Zao has already established himself as the king when he was out of Liaoxi. ”

Dong Fei didn't expect Zhang Jiashi to admit such a thing so directly and honestly, he didn't know what he should do.

"Qiang" ......

More than a dozen sounds of the long sword being withdrawn from the scabbard sounded, making Dong Fei's face suddenly turn pale.

"Put it all away, General Dong is an envoy to our army. After Zhang Jiashi looked at the military attaches under his command who were planning to chop Dong Fei into meat puree, he shook his head angrily and said such a sentence.

Dong Fei raised his head and looked at Zhang Jiashi, just about to say something. It's just that before he could say his words, he saw Zhang Jiashi slowly draw his saber and show a smile......

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

Under a round of crescent moon, in the middle of a team of knights hurrying with torches, Dong Fei's thoughts in his heart were quite complicated.

He was leaving Zhang Jiashi's barracks, and he was thinking about some words until now:

"General Dong, since Gu is planning to let you go, he will naturally not break his promise. But Lone loves General Dong's character and ability very much, and the person who knows the times is Junjie, General Dong, you should understand what Lone's words mean. ”

Dong Fei knew that Zhang Jiashi hoped that he could join his command, but he did not directly oppose it, let alone die to show his will, which illustrates a point......

That is, he was moved.

But he was able to find the best excuse to comfort himself, that is, Zhang Jiashi, who was standing in front of him, holding the Dingqin Sword in his hand and slowly taking out the jade seal of the country, was undoubtedly the true successor of the First Emperor......
