Chapter 153 The fifth year of the reign of King Qin
In the next time, Zhao Ji really disappeared again, however, Yang Ming didn't care much about it, because there was a tug-of-war process between the two, when Yang Ming showed an offensive, Zhao Ji would retreat in a panic, but when Yang Ming showed cowardice and retreated, Zhao Ji would feel that he was the strong one, and he would appear in front of Yang Ming very confidently.
Moreover, in addition to Zhao Ji, Yang Ming had more important things to do.
Zhao Ji is just an external unobtainable help for Yang Ming, but if Yang Ming wants to get what he wants, his own strength is the real foundation.
And in the spring of the fifth year of the reign of King Qin, the world that had been quiet for several months became restless again.
Zhao Wang Yan of Zhao State used the veteran Pang Xuan as the general of Zhao State to replace the former Lian Po, so that Yan Guo saw the hope of revenge.
Yan Wangxi asked the general next to him, Ji Xin, what was the strength of his friend Pang Xuan back then.
Ji Xin replied: I was friends with Pang Xuan in the past, and we know each other very well, and it is not difficult to defeat him.
When Yan Wangxi heard such an answer, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and had the idea of attacking Zhao State.
It's a pity that the war ability of the Yan State is really limited, and the Yan State is still deploying troops to prepare to attack the Zhao State, and the Qin State has already received the news that the Yan State is preparing to attack the Zhao State.
And when Yang Ming heard the news, he happened to be in the Meng family.
"Do you two think Yan Guo can win this time?" Meng Fu asked Yang Ming and Meng Tian.
"Ju Xin is a famous general, he was Le Yi's deputy back then, assisted King Yanzhao to enrich the country's strong army, and almost destroyed the Qi State, if such a famous general makes a move, and knows so much about Pang Xuan, the main general of the Zhao army, Zhao Guo may win, but it will not be too easy to think." Meng Tian analyzed.
"Yang Ming, what do you think?" Regarding Meng Tian's opinion, Meng Wei did not comment, but looked at Yang Ming.
"General, I'm afraid Yan Guo is going to steal chickens and rice again this time." Yang Ming said.
At this time, in Yang Ming's mind, he kept flipping through the memories of the past, and he found that he seemed to have misremembered one thing, in the five-year war of the Qin Dynasty, the Qin army did not attack the Wei Kingdom, but the Wei cities on both sides of the river.
In the fifth year of the reign of King Qin, Meng Fu conquered Wei, took 20 cities such as sour dates, Yan, Xu, Changping, Yongqiu, and Shanyang, and initially placed them in Dongjun.
"Do you think Yan Guo is going to be defeated?" Meng Fu asked.
"It will be a defeat, and it will be a fiasco." Yang Ming said.
"Why?" Meng Fu asked.
Meng Tian also looked at Yang Ming suspiciously, if the Yan Kingdom had a reason to lose, would they still take the initiative to start a war?
"War, no matter how you say it, in the final analysis, it is still people who fight, compared with the Yan army and the Zhao army, to be honest, there is no comparison at all, the combat power of the Yan army, even the Korean army can defeat it." Yang Ming said.
"However, if the commander of an army can strategize and make use of his strengths and avoid weaknesses, he may not be able to defeat the strong with the weak." Meng Tian reminded.
"This is true, if it is said that because of the combat strength of the two armies, the Yan army has three more points to lose before fighting, then Ji Xin, as the commander of the Yan army, will undoubtedly defeat the Yan army." Yang Ming said.
"Ju Xin, the old man knows, he studied with the old man in Qi when he was a teenager, he is talented and has extraordinary perseverance, he can be regarded as a famous general, such a person will lose to Pang Xuan?" Meng Fu questioned.
This world is very big, as big as thousands of miles in radius, with a population of more than 10 million, but this world is actually very small, the generals and ministers of the seven countries know each other, and even friends with each other when they are young, and even the royal families of the seven countries are even in-laws with each other, and their relationship is far closer than people imagine.
And Meng Fu and Ji Xin are very familiar with each other, and Meng Fu still understands Ji Xin's ability, such a person, on the battlefield, it is difficult to have a big defeat, and where does Yang Ming's judgment come from?
"Yes, the drama Xin that the general knew was forty years ago, or even fifty years ago, at that time, the drama Xin may have been an extraordinary disciple of the military family, and when he was young, he assisted King Yan Zhao to create the Yan Kingdom at the peak of his ability, which is indeed a demonstration of his ability, but time is passing, the times are developing, and now it is no longer the era that once belonged to him." Yang Ming said.
Meng Fu and Meng Tian, the two ancestors and grandchildren, were already contemplative at this time.
"Look at what Ju Xin has been busy with for decades? After the death of King Yan Zhao, he was left out in the cold, and he has been drilling camps in the Yan Kingdom, in order to be able to be activated, he has used too much of his mind on drilling the camp, and how much of his mind can be used to study the art of war? ”
"Forty or fifty years ago, he may have been about the same as the general's attainments in the art of war, but now if the general and the unified troops and horses of the generals meet on the battlefield, I am sure that the drama will not be the general's enemy for a while."
"Because in the past forty or fifty years, the general has experienced nearly 100 large and small battles, and the general has constantly summed up his experience in the war and improved his understanding of the art of war, you are constantly improving, and looking at the drama Xin, what can he improve over the years?" Yang Ming continued.
"The most important thing is that when Ji Xin thought that he knew Pang Xuan very well and it would not be difficult to defeat Pang Xuan, he had already cut off his last hope of a possible victory."
The Pang Xuan he knows is only the Pang Xuan in his memory, what is the current Pang Xuan's ability, does he know? He didn't know, he looked at his opponent with old eyes, but he felt that he had the certainty of victory, this was a taboo for the soldiers to underestimate the enemy, Yan Guo was not as good as Zhao Jun, and the commander was such a person, how could they win? ”
"Therefore, Yan Guo will not only lose, but also lose very badly." Yang Ming said firmly.
"It seems to be." Meng Tian groaned.
"Yes, the old man and Lu Xiangguo also think so, so the goal of this expedition has changed from Wei to Wei, Wei is too close to Zhao, if our army attacks Weiguo, it is inevitable that after the victory of the Zhao army, the morale will be greatly boosted and our army's back road will be intercepted." Meng Wei said, looking at Yang Ming's gaze, there was already a look of approval.
"It's just a pity, Ling is now the captain of Ganquan Palace, even the old man has no right to transfer you, if not, the old man is really ready to keep you left and right, let you participate in this war, the art of war, you can't only learn in bamboo slips." Meng Fu said this with a look of regret.
Meng Wei also regretted his decision when he met Yang Ming for the first time, after all, Yang Ming was able to enter Ganquan Palace, and it was he who arranged it.
"There will be opportunities in the future." Yang Ming said with a smile.
Qin Wangzheng's five years of time are actually very fast, now Yang Ming's life is quite rich, after a winter, he has cultivated the ninth type of frost and snow iceberg of the Heavenly Frost Fist, and began to try to practice the first move in the tenth style of the proud lonely peak, the heavenly frost qi in the body has been cultivated to an extremely deep level, and even because of the attribute restraint, it has overwhelmed the void cloud strength.
Now, the threshold for cultivating the three-point return to the vitality has been broken for Yang Ming, although if you want to cultivate the three-point return to the vitality to the fullest, you must completely cultivate the Fengshen Legs, the Cloud Palm, and the Heavenly Frost Fist, but Yang Ming currently only needs to cultivate the three-point return to the Yuan Qi to a small achievement.
As long as Yang Ming can cultivate the three-point return vitality to Xiaocheng, he can rely on the various miracles of the three-point return vitality and the strong and domineering internal strength to make himself invincible in the first-class realm, comparable to the grandmaster.
If you can then practice the Paiyun Palm and the Heavenly Frost Fist to the realm of the Wind God's legs, the three-point return vitality supported by the three unique martial arts of the Dacheng realm can reach an unbelievable realm, and the grandmaster is just waiting for leisure, even if it is a great grandmaster, it is not impossible to win.
If he can go one step further, completely grasp the power of the wind, clouds, and frost between heaven and earth, and then return the three points to the consummation realm of vitality cultivation, then Yang Ming is definitely comparable to the existence of gods and demons in this world, the world is so big, what else can stop him.
But how difficult it is to cultivate the three points of return to the element, until now it is difficult for Yang Ming to make the three internal forces reach a harmonious state in the body, let alone fuse the three internal forces into one to achieve the initial state of returning to the yuan.
So at the moment, for Yang Ming, the most important thing is to step into the threshold of three points of vitality, after all, next year's five-nation alliance to attack Qin is a once-in-a-decade opportunity for Yang Ming, the opportunity is ahead, but if you don't have enough strength to grasp it, it's just in vain.
Of course, in addition to practicing the three-point return to the vitality, Yang Ming rarely had to learn swordsmanship from each other with the startled salamander, and this kind of life was actually quite interesting for Yang Ming.
"There are not many opportunities, and this year may be the last time the old man will go out in his life." Meng Fu sighed as he stroked his gray beard.
Now that he is over seventy years old, it is time for him to step down, both for himself and for the sake of others
In the following half a month, Meng Wei requisitioned 30,000 soldiers and horses from Xianyang Zhoujin County, went out of Xianyang, went straight to Hangu Pass, passed through Hedong County, added 20,000 soldiers and horses from Hedong County, and then crossed Hanoi County, Hanoi County Lieutenant Yang Duanhe led 10,000 soldiers and horses to fight with the army, and went straight to Wei.
In the face of the menacing Qin army, since last year, because of the death of the old King Wei and the death of Xinling Jun, the internal fighting of the Wei State has been rare and united, and for a while, the new king Wei Wangzeng, who was sitting on the throne, did not know whether to cry or laugh.
In early March, the Qin army and the Wei army fought a fierce battle on the south bank of the Great River.
In this battle, Meng Tian first appeared in the limelight, and Wei Wushu celebrated the battle.
However, all this has little to do with Yang Ming, at this time he is still maintaining a quiet life, and the luxury and noise of Ganquan Palace does not have much impact on people like him, because Zhao Ji is hiding again.
In April, the news from the land of Yan Zhao reached Xianyang, Yan Guoju Xin led 100,000 Yan troops to attack Zhao State, and was defeated by Zhao General Pang Xuan with 70,000 troops, beheaded 20,000 people, all the way to cover and kill, straight into the south bank of Yishui, and then swept the southern border of Yan along Yishui, to May, two hundred miles of territory on the south bank of Yishui of Yan State belonged to Zhao State, and Zhao State finally opened up the hinterland of Zhao State through the northern foot of Taihang Mountain Flying Fox Trail and other passages.
Since then, Zhao has been reunited, and 100,000 border troops in the north can go south at any time to join Zhao's foreign wars.
At the beginning of May, the Qin army defeated the main force of the Wei army, went all the way east along the big river, attacked the city and pulled out the village, and captured Shanyang and Yongqiu at the end of May, and set up the East County, with Mengwu as the East County Taishou, and the town guarded the important land of sour jujube.
At the beginning of June, the Qin army returned to the division, and when Meng Wei led more than 20,000 soldiers and horses to answer Xianyang, it was already the middle of June, and Xianyang at this time had fallen into another atmosphere, a kind of atmosphere called festivity.
The young king of Qin, the king of Qin, is about to get married.
