Chapter 12: Li Liang returns to the army
Li Liang's soldiers and horses suddenly turned to the western front and marched into Taiyuan, which made the Qin army somewhat unexpected.
Jingcheng Pass is also an extremely dangerous checkpoint in Changshan County, historically, Han Xin has fought a very beautiful battle in Jingcheng Pass, and took Jingcheng Pass from 200,000 Zhao troops.
But at this time, the Qin army's strength in Jingcheng Pass was only more than 50,000 people, and these more than 50,000 people can be regarded as the last main force of Changshan County.
It can be said that the Qin army's defense in Zhao was too weak, and the main forces were gathered in the Guanzhong area, even if the Zhang Han army went out of the pass to suppress bandits, it was also frequently active in the Shandong line, but it never went north, which made Hebei turbulent, and in a few years, Zhao and Yan stabilized their strength in Hebei.
In the area of Beidi County in Guanzhong, there was also the main force of the Qin army stationed, and the main general was Wang Li, but they always refused to march eastward, so that all places could only rely on the soldiers of the county guard to defend themselves against the enemy.
At this time, Hu Yong, the guard of Jingcheng Pass, took more than 100 people with him, walking on the Guan Tower, not far away, more than 100 miles away, Zhao Jun has camped for dozens of miles, the momentum is extremely huge, it is said that Li Liang has nearly 30,000 soldiers and horses, and it is not difficult to rely on Jingcheng Pass to block them, but how to recover Changshan County is the most worrying thing in Hu Yong's heart.
It can be said that in Changshan County, Hu Yong also fought with Li Liang a few times, but every time, Hu Yong was defeated by Li Liang, only once, Hu Yong fought according to the danger, and barely fought a draw, which also made Hu Yong invisibly have a little fear of Li Liang.
In fact, it is not how fierce Li Liang is, his soldiers are unstoppable, but the Qin army at this time is indeed not as good as before, coupled with the tyranny of Qin and the harsh government of Qin, the people have many complaints, and the soldiers are unwilling to die, which leads to the worrying battle situation in Changshan County.
At this time, Hu Yong walked a distance, and there was basically no problem with the city defense, but his worries about the Qin State were deepening day by day, and he really didn't know that the Qin State would be able to support it for a few years if it went on like this.
Just as Hu Yong sighed lightly, on the side, the strategist Song Jun walked up and said softly: "Is the general worried about the soldiers coming to the city?" ”
Song Jun's words interrupted Hu Yong's contemplation, he looked back at Song Jun, at this time, he was following him closely, under Hu Yong's curtain, there were three strategists, two of them, and Hu Yong did not appreciate, but Song Jun in front of him, many times he could offer some good strategies, and won Hu Yong's trust.
But this time, Song Jun didn't find out what Hu Yong was thinking, at this time, Hu Yong had sighed lightly, looked at Song Jun, and sighed: "I'm sighing, after the Qin State dominated the world, it began to go downhill, just a dozen years, the Qin State has been in flames, and the clouds have risen in all directions. ”
Saying that, Hu Yong sighed lightly again, but Song Jun waved his hand and smiled: "General, the war is only temporary, as long as Zhang Han leads the army north, Zhao and Yan will be flattened sooner or later, as long as the general sticks to Jingcheng Pass, waits for the opportunity to kill, and recovers the lost territory, he will definitely be appreciated by the imperial court." ”
Song Jun's words, Hu Yong's heart was warm, at this time he couldn't help but look up and laugh, on the side, Song Jun continued: "General, if you want to conquer Li Liang, capture it for the bottom, attack the heart for the top!" ”
"Attacking the heart?" Hu Yong couldn't help but read silently a few times, he had also thought about recruiting Li Liang, but after all, Li Liang was one of the top generals under Wuchen, could he accept his surrender? 'Attack the heart! It's simply not realistic!
Thinking like this, Hu Yong looked at Song Jun and said unhappily: "If you want to recruit Li Liang, you can't do it at all!" Sir, don't pay attention to this. ”
Song Jun saw that Hu Yong didn't understand the meaning of his words, and couldn't help laughing: "General, my attack is not to recruit Li Liang, but to ......."
Song Jun deliberately lengthened his voice, and paused when he said this, Hu Yong's eyes widened at this time, waiting for Song Jun's words, seeing that he suddenly sold a pass, he couldn't help but say angrily: "Say it quickly!" ”
"We might as well use a discordant plan to provoke Li Liang, if Li Liang rebels, Changshan County can be safe." Song Jun smiled proudly.
"Discord meter?" Hu Yong couldn't help but be surprised, how could he skillfully implement the divisive plan? This method seems to have never been considered by himself, at this time, Song Jun on the side smiled and said: "General, the divisive plan is very simple, we can pretend to be in the name of the emperor, recruit Li Liang, and then deliberately leak this news, no matter what Li Liang's final decision is, Wuchen will definitely not believe Li Liang so easily, once there is a crack between the two, this crack will get deeper and deeper, until they completely break up!" ”
Hearing this, Hu Yong had to praise: "Good strategy!" ”
。。。。。。
In the dim night, torches were planted in the Zhao military camp, and a group of soldiers of every twenty people were patrolling back and forth in the camp.
Not far away, Jingcheng Pass was also brightly lit, and many Zhao troops gathered around the fire, roasting the fire, discussing the war, not knowing when this battle would start.
Many people don't expect to fight, but the Qin State governed Zhao Di, paid heavy taxes, and fished the people, and everyone's life was not easy, so in order to have a stable life in the future, they had to shoulder their weapons and fight hard to overthrow the tyrannical Qin.
At this time, Li Liang did not sleep in the main general's tent, he was thinking about countermeasures, thinking about how to break through the well.
The so-called thousand-mile attack, just for a quick battle, but due to the special geographical location of Jingcheng Pass, the whole is gourd-shaped, easy to defend and difficult to attack, making it difficult for Li Liang, according to the spies to report, there are 50,000 Qin troops stationed in the pass, such a strong lineup, can they conquer it?
If the attack on Jingcheng Pass fails, and he is defeated and returns to Dongyuan County, I am afraid that the situation in Changshan County will be reversed.
Therefore, this battle can only be won, not defeated!
Just when Li Liang was at a loss and did not have a feasible plan for advancing in his heart, a personal entourage shouted outside the tent: "Report!" There was a person who claimed to be the envoy of the Qin State and asked to see him outside the tent! ”
"Envoy of the State of Qin?" Li Liang couldn't help but be surprised, what was the purpose of the Qin envoy's sudden visit at this time?
After hesitating for a while, Li Liang decided that no matter what the purpose of Qin's trip was, he might as well meet and talk about it, thinking of this, Li Liang shouted to the outside of the tent: "Bring him in!" ”
The person who came was Song Jun, who had already come to Li Liang at this time, and arched his hand and said: "In Xia Wang Yan, it is His Majesty the Second Emperor who is working hard to shoot and send a letter from His Majesty the Emperor to General Li, hoping that General Li can abandon the darkness and return to Daqin. ”
Although Li Liang was surprised, he heard that the letter was written by the second emperor Hu Hai, so he took it in his hand, opened it and looked at it.
After reading this letter, Li Liang lowered his head and pondered, he was really a little tempted, not far away, Song Jun, who was staring at him, couldn't help but sneer, there was no emperor's edict, and there was no high-ranking official, this secret edict was completely from his Song Jun's hand, and it was not difficult to see with Li Liang's expression in front of him that he really fell for it.
After a short silence, Li Liang looked at Song Jun and couldn't help but sigh: "Let me think about this matter." ”
As he spoke, Li Liang shouted outside the tent: "Come, prepare thirty taels of gold for the messenger, arrange for him to have a light meal in the camp and then send him away." ”
Li Liang's consideration is enough to prove that he has plans to abandon Zhao, as for how Li Liang is going to leave next, he Song Jun no longer cares, and at this time he has a chance to leave, Song Jun can't help but smile and say: "General Xie rewards." ”
Song Jun was taken down, Li Liang got up and walked a few steps in the tent, he was thinking, should he follow Hu Hai's will and betray Zhao?
If he can really be a high-ranking official in the Qin State, then there is no need for him to rebel, but he turned his back on the military ministers like this, and Li Liang felt a little guilty in his heart.
After pondering for nearly an hour, he has his own strength at this time, and it is very difficult to storm Jingcheng Pass, so it is better to return to Handan first, ask Wuchen for reinforcements, and then make a decision.
。。。。。。
King Zhao's palace, since leaving Zhao and returning to Handan, Wuchen is like a different person, he fundamentally understands a truth, only Zhao is fundamentally strong, so he will not be bullied, and he has the ability to go north again, begging // Han Guang, at this time, he has no interest in developing north.
Not long ago in the Central Plains, there was a shocking news that the founder of Zhang Chuguo, Chen Sheng, was defeated and died in Chen County, and the person who defeated him was actually Zhang Han, a famous general in Guanzhong.
This is really exciting news, Chen Sheng's defeat and death will cause Zhang Chuguo to be torn apart, and there will be chaos in Shandong, and at this time, Zhang Han has already marched westward, completely ignoring Shandong, from this point of view, Wuchen feels that the time is ripe for him to go south.
If he can cross the Yellow River and establish a foundation, then the Zhao State will be even stronger, and he will move his troops westward in the future, and the Qin State will be able to calm down in one go.
Just when Wuchen was looking at the map and dreaming of his Spring and Autumn Festival of dominating the Central Plains, Shao Sao hurriedly walked into the main hall and arched his hand in front of Wuchen and said: "King, I received a message, Li Liang ......"
Shao Sao's words paused, and Wu Chen was interrupted by him to ponder, and asked unhappily, "What's wrong with Li Liang?" ”
"Li Liang once met with a secret envoy of the Qin State, it is said that the secret envoy handed over the letter of surrender of the second emperor to Li Liang, and then, Li Liang returned to the army to march to Handan, I am worried, will he have a rebellion?" Shao Sao expressed his worries, and Wu Chen was also slightly anxious.
Li Liang returned to his teacher at this time, which really makes people feel weird, but Li Liang followed him, it was not a day or two, Wu Chen felt that Li Liang would not rebel against him because of an edict, so thinking so, Wu Chen couldn't help but smile and said: "We can observe and observe this matter, I don't think Li Liang will rebel about it, the prime minister may be too worried." ”
After a pause, Wu Chen pointed to the map and said: "Let's talk about it first, Chen Sheng was defeated, and the Kwantung region was in turmoil, we might as well take the opportunity to go south, and we can march from here......"
