Stop marching! ”

When he was only sixty miles away from the city of Caohan, Shi Min immediately waved his hand and ordered the 10,000 soldiers of the Zhao army led by him to stop marching.

At this time, the sky is bright and the cold is pressing.

In order to maintain the soldiers' sufficient combat effectiveness, recuperate and quickly enter the battle after encountering the enemy, Shi Min could only spare a little time for them to rest for a while, and then slow down the speed of the march.

If it is an ordinary general, when marching and fighting, he will often send scouts to probe the situation within a radius of several miles, but Shi Min is more cautious, he will be good at using scouts to explore the situation within a radius of more than ten miles, and any wind and grass cannot be let go!

Therefore, the situation in Fuyunling has long been grasped by Shi Min.

Yang Kang never dreamed that the marching speed of the Zhao army would be so fast, but in a day or two, it would march more than 100 miles.

In the frontier area of Fuyunling, more than 10,000 Liang troops simply camped there.

When Yang Kang's troops and horses returned to help Caohan, they were not in such a hurry, so they abandoned some unnecessary weights, and still carried quilts, tents and other things to set up camp.

It's just that in view of the proximity of Caohan City, Yang Kang has no worries, he just sent a part of the soldiers and horses on duty to defend the Zhao army on the opposite side of Fuyun Ridge, and the rest of the soldiers can sleep and recuperate so that they can fight tomorrow.

It is worth mentioning that after setting up camp in Fuyunling, Yang Kang sent someone to send a letter to Caohan, asking Li Kui, the lieutenant general of Caohan's protector army, to let him lead his troops out and attack the Zhao army in Fuyunling together, so as to be prepared.

However, to the surprise of Yang Kang and the Liang soldiers under his command, at the rear of their camp, where there was not even the simplest Yan Shan, a Zhao army took advantage of the mist to touch it.

"Poof! ……”

"Kill!"

The torches were quickly lit, and many of the Liang soldiers who were still dozing off and standing guard were killed on the spot before they could react.

Under Shi Min's orders, the cavalry took the lead in attacking.

Hua Mulan led more than 1,000 iron horsemen, rushed all the way in, and lined up a long snake formation on the camp of the Liang army, killing anyone she saw. It seems that those Liang soldiers who were around the fire, baking the fire to keep warm, and had fallen asleep, suddenly woke up, and then before they could pick up the weapons around them, they had already been killed.

"What happened?!" Yang Kang woke up in shock, lifted a three-foot Qingfeng sword, rushed out, and grabbed a fleeing soldier and asked.

"It's Zhao Jun! The Zhao army has attacked the camp! ”

Yang Kang looked at the west, wondering in his heart, shouldn't this Zhao army be in the east? When did you bypass this huge Floating Cloud Ridge and run behind them?!

"It's the army led by Shi Min, the general of Zhao State!"

As soon as they heard Shi Min's name, the soldiers of the Liang army were frightened, after all, they all had the experience of fighting with Shi Min's Han army, which was really miserable.

The defeat was like a mountain.

Yang Kang still wanted to lead his troops to break out, but he suddenly found that the troops in his camp had become a mess, reduced to slaughtered animals, and had no power to fight back. In desperation, Yang Kang had no choice but to take his own personal battalion, fought a bloody way, and finally broke through alone.

In this battle, the Zhao army beheaded 4,000, and the rest surrendered!

The next day, Shi Min led his troops to the city of Caohan, and Li Kui, the protector of Caohan, knew that the general situation had gone, so he led more than 7,000 soldiers in the city to surrender.

From the south of the Yellow River, the Qiang, Di, Xianbei and other Hu people all belonged to the Zhao State, and once the news came out, the world was shaken.

In December, Xie Ai marched to attack Changshi, broke the Zhao army, beheaded 8,000, and Ma Qiu, Liang Qian, Sun Fudu and others led the army to retreat to Jincheng.

Shi Min controlled the armies, and recruited 20,000 cavalry from the Lu Shuihu, Xianbei, Di people, Xiongnu, and Qiang people, formed a new army, and then deployed various places, temporarily entered the defensive, and at the same time dispatched troops to prepare to send 100,000 cavalry to attack Guzang, the capital of Liangguo.

In February 343, when the ice and snow melted, Shi Min began to march into the hinterland of the Liang Kingdom, intending to capture Guzang in one fell swoop.

Gu Zang, Liang Wang Palace.

Zhang Jun convened a court meeting and convened the ministers to discuss the matter. But everyone knows what to discuss.

Originally, the war between Liang and Zhao was temporarily stopped for a while because of the harsh winter, and there was no battle for two or three months, but this was actually because the Liang army and the Zhao army won and lost each other, and the Zhao army had to digest the land of the city that had just been occupied.

After obtaining Caohan, Zhao State took all the land south of the Yellow River, and Hexi and Longyou were all owned by Zhao State. Zhao's original plan was originally to capture the land of Helong, but now, Shi Hu's ambition is even greater.

If Shi Hu wants to unify the north, he is bound to sweep away Xiliang, a stumbling block on the road to his great cause of reunification.

Therefore, after the Zhao army reorganized the war, in the spring of the second year, it began to carry out the next stage of the war - extinguishing the cool!

"Ladies and gentlemen, now the national crisis is at the forefront. The Zhao army from Jincheng and Daxia has exhausted its elite, and Shi Min has sworn in Quliu, even 100,000 people, to destroy my Liang country! This is the autumn of the crisis of survival! ”

Zhang Jun said solemnly: "If the Lone King wants to mobilize troops from all over the world, he will fight to the death with the Zhao army in Guzang!" Swear to live and die with Guzang City! ”

This time, Zhang Jun didn't think about the royal expedition, but wanted to fight with the Zhao army under Guzang City. Zhang Jun is a strong person, and history records that he is "young and wonderful, excellent and uninhibited", and he runs away without doing a fight, which is not his Zhang Jun's style.

Zhang Jun now showed his strong determination and courage, which made the ministers in the court couldn't help but be moved!

What kind of monarch there is, what kind of courtiers there are!

Zhang Jun is so virtuous, and naturally few of his ministers are of a bad breed!

Liang has a huge territory, and now it is only the tip of the iceberg that has been invaded by the Zhao army, if Zhang Jun gives up Guzang, gives up Wuwei County, and retreats to the Western Regions, he will not have the ability and opportunity to survive, and even fight back in the future and recover the lost territory.

But Zhang Jun didn't want to do that.

Suo Yao came out and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers are willing to follow the king and live and die with Guzang City!" ”

"The minister is willing to follow the king and live and die with Guzang City!" The ministers all shouted.

Regardless of whether they are sincere or not, Zhang Jun understands this love.

At this time, Xie Ai said: "Your Majesty, the Zhao army is menacing, and I am afraid that it is impossible to stop the pace of the Zhao army with Cangsong, Lijing and other cities." ”

"Xie Ai, what do you think?"

"At this time, my Liang country should unite as one, the same enemy, everyone has money to pay, some people to pay, no reservations! However, it will take time to transfer troops and generals, although our Liangguo has been prepared for a big war, but now it seems that it is far from enough! The army led by Shi Min is the elite of the Zhao army, and its combat power is strong and should not be underestimated. For this reason, the minister asked the king to transfer troops from Yumen Pass, Yangguan, Jiuquan, Zhangye and other places, and at the same time recruit young and strong people to assist in defending the city and transporting grain, so as to be prepared to resist the enemy! ”

"Good!"

Zhang Jun bowed his head and said, "Xie Ai, this matter will be handled by you with full authority." ”

"Obey orders!"

Xie Ai said again: "Your Majesty, the current Zhao army is like a broken bamboo, if it arrives at the city of Guzang for a while, I am afraid that it will be even more imposing, and its military heart must be worried." As the saying goes, one blow, then decline, three and exhaustion, the minister asked the king to deploy more than 10,000 troops in the two cities of Cangsong and Lixuan to block the Zhao army, thinking that the transfer of troops from our Liang country would gain effective time and space, and at the same time it could also thwart the spirit of the Zhao army. ”

"Good!"

Zhang Jun agreed.
