Chapter 790: Xie Clan
"What do you say? Li Miao was beheaded by the thieves, 10,000 troops were defeated, and 30,000 stone grains were burned? After listening to the scout's report, Jiang Bin looked incredulous, "Is this still a thief?" ”
Zhong Hui's face sank.
Guo Dan stubbornly said: "The thieves first attacked our army's barracks, and then met our army, riding on foot, and his subordinates were really caught off guard......"
The combat power of the Wu army has always been a mystery.
When I thought it was very weak, it could often have unexpected victories, Ding Feng fought hard in the snow, and Lu Kang defeated the strong with the weak, and defeated Yang Zhao, Yanghu, and Bu Yan in a row.
When I thought it was very strong, I unexpectedly pulled my hips, and Zhuge Ke's 200,000 army did not take the Hefei New City defended by 3,000 people......
"You mean cavalry?" Zhong Hui's eyes lit up.
The homeless people can't even eat enough, how can there be a large-scale cavalry?
Yiyang's geographical location is very critical, if there is a cavalry here, then move one step to the east, and the logistics supply of the entire Wu army will be within their attack range.
With an army of more than 200,000 and more than 200,000 mouths, what a terrible thing it would be to have no food?
Even if the supply of grain and grass is not timely, it will cause a major disaster.
"Exactly, not only war horses, but also iron armor!" Guo Dan seemed to have found a reason for the defeat.
Zhong Hui laughed, "I see, I thought Yang Xingyun was above board, but I didn't expect to use such a method." ”
The only way to have such a cavalry in the Central Plains is the Qin army.
"My subordinates are willing to lead an army and go to exterminate the thief army!" Jiang Bin surrendered his hand and asked for his life.
"No, the enemy has tens of thousands of people, 8,000 cavalry, our army at this time is very inappropriate, the order grain and grass not to go to Yiyang, to go to the water, Huaishui, Yingshui, all by waterway."
"If that's the case, I'm afraid there won't be enough food and grass."
The waterways are all countercurrent, and the manpower required is not as easy as the road transportation, but there is no need to worry about being attacked by cavalry.
The year before last, Du pre-captured Xuchang and rewarded the soldiers with money and grain in the treasury to help the people.
Therefore, although the Wu army took Xuchang, it did not get supplies.
Zhong Hui said: "I personally lobbied the Yingchuan clan, and with their support, at least three months our army will have food and grass." ”
"My subordinates don't understand, since Yang Zheng has already gone north to attack Yecheng, why does our army still have to delay in Xuchang?" Shen Ying arched his hand.

Zhong Hui pointed to the map and said: "Lu Qin refuses to defend Huaisi, if our army attacks it, the outcome is unpredictable, even if it wins, it is just a Huaishui basin!" ”
The defeat of Yiyang woke up Zhong Hui and fully realized the combat power of the Wu army.
In that year, Zhuge Ke's 200,000 army went north, but it was blocked for several months, and the good situation of Wu was in vain.
Chung Hui had to learn his lesson.
Moreover, his 200,000 army can really fight the original 50,000 troops, and most of the other Wu troops are farmers and young men who have been temporarily recruited, and Zhong Hui does not have much confidence.
Your own family knows your own affairs.
If the 200,000 army doesn't fight, it can still bluff people, support a shelf, and if it really fights, I'm afraid it will be exposed immediately.
On this journey north, how could he have fought a bitter battle?
The Jin armies in Dongguan and Hefei were all weak brigades, and Lu Qin's mind was not here, and his troops shrank in Shouchun and Xuzhou.
"It's all based on Huaishui, it's already an unprecedented victory, is the prime minister really going to compete with Qin and Jin in the Central Plains......" Shen Ying worried.
"The praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, Qin and Jin have hundreds of thousands of people, it is still unknown which will win or lose, our army will stay in Xuchang, the Qin army will be afraid, if our army attacks Huaisi, it will be in the middle of Yang Xingyun's plan!"
"If Qin Jin decides the winner, won't it be too late?"
"Qin Sheng, then Lu Qin's morale will collapse, our army will lead and attack, get twice the result with half the effort, maybe the army can win Huaisi without blood, if Jin Sheng......" Zhong Hui's eyes flashed, "Then our army will immediately attack the Qin army with the Jin army, cut off its way back, if Yang Zheng dies, the Qin State will fall apart!" ”
In his eyes, the advantage of the Wu army is not in the quick battle, but in the quiet and watching the changes, the decisive battle between Qin and Jin, and the Wu army can be a wall-by-side watch.
Both sides lose, and this is the time for Zhong Hui to show his strength.
Shen Ying couldn't help but be shocked by his crazy plan.
"Haha, the prime minister's conspiracy!" Jiang Shu and the generals laughed.
Guo Dan, who was kneeling on the ground, also laughed, "There is a plot of the prime minister, how can Qin Jin do it?" ”
was originally a well-intentioned sycophant, but it successfully attracted Zhong Hui's attention, "Guo Dan is incompetent, lost the army and lost food, messed up the hearts of our army, and beheaded with military law!" ”
Guo Dan's flattering smile froze on his face, making his ugly face even more difficult to look at, "Cheng, Prime Minister...... It is not incompetent...... The prime minister spares his life! ”
Zhong Hui rolled his eyes, with a look of disgust, as if he didn't want to look at him more, "Push it out and cut it!" Spread the head of the whole army, there are those who are ineffective in combat and dereliction of duty, all of them are like this! ”
The progress of Wu's army during this period of time was too smooth, so that there was a lot of arrogance in the army.
Just borrowed this head to purge the three armies.
Two armor soldiers, one on the left and one on the right, lifted the man out.
Suddenly, a bloody human head was sent in, and the faces of the generals were much more serious......
Morning song.
Hearing that Zhong Hui's 200,000 troops remained in Xuchang and did not move, Yang Zheng's brows couldn't help frowning.
This shows that Zhong will not look down on Huaisi.
Xuchang's location is more critical, and Zhong Hui will not attack Xuzhou to the east, so it means that his purpose is in the north and west.
"Could it be that Zhong Hui's plan is mine?" Yang Zheng said casually.
Wei Qian said: "Zhong Hui is fickle, frivolous and arrogant, and his nature is still difficult to change after so many years, so I don't think I need to pay too much attention to this person." ”
Yang Zheng also wanted to ignore him, but after all, more than 200,000 troops, that is, 200,000 pigs, arching in one direction is also amazingly powerful, "Our army destroys Jin, if Zhong Hui attacks my flank, he will suffer from the enemy on his back." ”
"Luoyang has Zhang Zichan, and Wancheng has Du Yuankai, which is enough to resist." Wei Qian looked down on Zhong Hui a little outside of his words.
With Zhang Te and Du Pre here, Zhong Hui should not be able to make any waves.
Besides, even if Zhong Hui really had his own thoughts, could it be that the more than 300,000 troops just stopped at Chaoge and didn't move?
The water comes to cover the earth, and the soldiers come to block it.
Sometimes you think too much, hesitate, miss the opportunity, and you may not get anything in the end.
After cleaning up Sima Yan, it's not too late to get the bell again.
Yang Zheng then feasted on the soldiers of the Qin army, and the brave people in battle, directly rewarded gold, silk, money and food in front of everyone.
"Xie Cheng, the first to arrive!"
"The end will be." A young general stepped out of the crowd and knelt on one knee in front of Yang Zheng.
This person has a face like a crown of jade, a tall figure, and is not only capable of a martial artist, but also has a bit of a literary atmosphere.
At first glance, it is a scholar, and there are a large number of such people among the prisoners of the Jin army.
is either a poor family in the middle of the road, or a side descendant of the noble family.
"If you are really a talent, where is your ancestral home? Who else is in the family? Yang Zheng said curiously.
"Your Majesty, the last general and Your Majesty are fellow villagers, Chen Junyang Xia Xie Clan!"
"Great goodness!" It turned out to be a fellow countryman.
Chenjun Xie Shi ......
Yang Zheng suddenly remembered that Xie An, Xie Shi, and Xie Xuan, who were famous in history, were not from the Xie clan of Chen County?
"Who are you?" Wei Qian asked.
"It's my father'......," Xie Cheng had a slightly frightened look on his face.
Wei Qian whispered in Yang Zheng's ear: "His father Xie Zhangyuan was the official of the Great Si Nong Huan Fan, and the change of Gao Pingling dissuaded Huan Fan from going out, and reused it for Sima Yi, and awarded the general of Nong Zhonglang." ”
It turns out that there is still this past in the middle.
In this way, the Xie family received the favor of Sima Yi.
No wonder Xie Cheng was terrified......
Yang Zheng is not interested in turning over old accounts, "The Sima family deceived the world and stole their name, the crime is in one family, and others are not to blame, the Great Qin Military Law, meritorious service will be rewarded, and if there is a mistake, Xie Cheng will be meritorious in breaking the city, sealing the Marquis of Ling, and promoting the general of Pingping!" ”
This is a clear signal to the Central Plains scholars.
There are unjust debtors and masters, and Daqin does not engage in joint sitting.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Xie Cheng burst into tears of excitement and slammed his head on the ground.
