201 Retreat
Out of the continuous mountain area, Lin Jian'an found that he really did not have the strength to capture Guanzhong now, without it, there was not enough cavalry.
Cavalry is different from other types of troops, the cost of training a cavalry can train at least five heavy infantry, that is, with Lin Jianyue's strong economic strength, and the support of so many families, before the battle with Li Chongshan, the real cavalry force was only in the early 100,000s, which shows that it is difficult to form a large-scale cavalry, Lin Jian'an is naturally less, less than 80,000, which is still a scale that can only be found when there is not a shortage of horses.
If it weren't for the soldiers and horses that had been ambushed in advance by the other two roads to threaten Jingzhao Mansion, Lin Jian'an would not have been able to take more than half of the current territory of Fengxiang Mansion.
At this time, Lin Jian'an already had a plan to stop, but now even he can't stop the enthusiasm of his subordinates, because they are already familiar with Zahmin's combat methods, and now the soldiers and horses in Guanzhong are about to be forced out of Fengxiang Mansion, and Jingzhao is in sight, especially after the news that Lin Jianyue has recovered the Central Plains.
Lin Jian'an received the news of the scouts in Fengxiang Mansion, the 80,000 Menghu cavalry in Qishan suddenly disappeared, and there were few defenders, Lin Jian'an was very puzzled, didn't Zahemin want the important town of Meixian County? After Meixian County, it is the rich Guanzhong Plain.
Lin Jian'an realized that something was wrong, he received this information, Gao Liang of Bo County would definitely get it, and without the threat of the main force of the Qishan Hu people, Gao Liang would definitely attack Meixian County and advance into Jingzhao Mansion.
hurriedly sent a message to Gao Liang, asking him to hold on to Boxian and not move, and then decide how to fight next after he captured Qishan, even if the Hu people set up an ambush in Meixian, there was no need to be afraid.
It's a pity that it's still a step too late, after he easily captured Qishan, the news of Gao Liang's defeat has come, and his 50,000 cavalry lost 30,000 and returned to Bo County, and the 30,000 infantry soldiers were wiped out, and Gao Liang was seriously injured.
If it was Gao Liang, who was brave but reckless ten years ago, it is estimated that even 20,000 cavalry would not be able to come back, and he would have been defeated and died.
Lin Jian'an realized that Guanzhong would inevitably change generals again, and this style of play was something Zahmin couldn't do, because he wouldn't make a campaign plan for different people and different weaknesses at all, Lin Jian'an decided to concentrate all his strength on meeting this master, and the army gathered on the front line of Qishanbo County, ready to launch an attack on Meixian County at any time.
In the camp of the Chinese army in Meixian County, Zahemin looked at Qin Zhenghao in awe, at this time he no longer suspected that Qin Zhenghao was a traitor, because just this battle, the results achieved were already greater than all his efforts.
"Qin Yuan'an, Lin Jian'an's army is gathered in Qishan, although we are not afraid, but the risk is still not small, Lin Jian'an is very powerful, always surprised, and now he has strong troops, what should we do next?"
"Don't call me the envoy, I have been dismissed, and now I am the prime minister of Guanzhong Province under you. What does the marshal think I have brought in cavalry from the east? Lin Jian'an's army is coming, we are confronting him in the surrounding counties of Meixian County, he does not dare to come to besiege the city, his cavalry in the wild plains he can't confront head-on, not to mention that he has just lost tens of thousands of cavalry, just be careful not to go out lightly, he can't help us. Jingzhou, which is west and north of Fengxiang Mansion, is now empty of troops, and the 50,000 elite cavalry and 30,000 horsemen and foot soldiers transferred over will surely sweep across the two states. Lin Jian'an is attacked on his back, can he not retreat? ”
Zahemin said with admiration: "It's still the Qin Yuan envoy who has a way, it's good now, not only to defend Fengxiang Mansion, but also to recover the lost land of the two states, I see how proud Lin Jian'an is." ”
Qin Zhenghao shook his head and said: "But Lin Jian'an's main force has not suffered major losses, as long as he guards the Dasan Pass, we still can't help him, and Aricha, who lost the Dasan Pass, should be pulled out and beheaded." ”
Zahmin nodded widely.
"Marshal Zha, Your Majesty sent me to Guanzhong, not to force Lin Jian'an back, but to destroy him. But with the power of Guanzhong alone, it can't be done now. After Lin Jianyue in the Central Plains has finished repairing, he will inevitably threaten Guanzhong again, and the army will still have to be transferred back, so there is no way to take Lin Jian'an. ”
Zahmin hurriedly asked, "What will happen after that?" ”
"Hedong has been lost, we can't get the aid of Dadu and Hebei, mainly on our own, Marshal Zha, in the front, I want to change some of your previous practices, and we must gather the hearts of the people in Guanzhong, so that we will slowly become stronger."
Zahmin's old face was slightly red, and he naturally didn't dare to object.
"Your Majesty sent Hachi to Hetao, and we will still have assistance in the future, but Hachi is ambitious, not necessarily so obedient, our army is in hand, and His Majesty has authorization before coming, if Hachi really has other ideas, let's go and destroy him, take Hetao in our hands, are you afraid that there will be no soldiers and no food in the future?"
Zahmin was overjoyed and immediately jumped to try, he had wanted to do it for a long time.
"Our task is very heavy, not only that, but we also have to deter Ai Buhua in the west, and finally cooperate with Your Majesty to attack Lin Jianyue, it's not as good as you think."
Zahemin said angrily: "Is there no one in Dameng? Everything depends on us! Isn't Batusu the god of war? I think it's just like that, it's better than the envoy of the Qin Academy! ”
Qin Zhenghao couldn't hold on, no matter how Lin Jian'an lured, he was unmoved, Lin Jian'an had already retreated, because the logistics were almost unable to hold on.
Lin Jian'an sighed in his heart, this Qin Zhenghao is indeed powerful, but it's a pity that he became a traitor, is it that I, Lin Jian'an, are destined to only be a feudal town? It's still too weak, but it's okay, the younger brother is in full swing now, will he be called the emperor like this?
Lin Jian'an soon received the news that Jingzhou was all lost, and most of the prefecture was lost, Lin Jian'an knew that he had to retreat to Dasanguan to defend it, and Fengxiang Mansion, which had worked hard at a huge price, could only give up.
Standing on the top of Chencang Mountain, Lin Jian'an looked at the vast Guanzhong Plain with some reluctance, Qin Zhenghao did not come out to pursue him, and there was no such a good opportunity to take Guanzhong again, it seemed that he could only go to the idea of Shuzhong, Lin Jian'an couldn't help but sigh deeply.
Looking at the large group of high-ranking officials and aristocrats in front of him who kept talking bad about Qin Zhenghao, Li Chongshan was furious in his heart, when did I need you to talk about the decision I made? If it weren't for the fact that this is a special period, several people who speak badly would have been dragged out and killed.
Li Chongshan was just waiting for news from Guanzhong, he already knew that Qin Zhenghao had gone to the front line, and even knew about the transfer of troops, but he firmly believed in his master Qin, but he was still a little uneasy in his heart.
Seeing Balsifu also slowly come out, Li Chongshan's heart tightened, Balsifu was a subordinate who followed during the Taizu period, and his prestige in Dameng was high, if he also wanted to support and deal with Qin Zhenghao, Li Chongshan might not be able to resist.
"Your Majesty, with the current situation, if you want to hold the Han land in Guannei, the Han people still have to use it, but how to use it, you need to think carefully, there is no clear evidence that Qin Zhenghao is a traitor, so naturally you don't need to do anything to him, but Your Majesty gave him a golden knife, which means that he has mastered the military and political power in Guanzhong, the risk is too great, one is not careful, and if Guanzhong is lost again, it will be even more difficult for us to gain a foothold in Handi."
Fortunately, I just want to cut power, and it's not a big problem.
When Li Chongshan was about to say something, there was a noise outside the palace, and a scout commander came in to report that Zahmin and Qin Zhenghao defeated Lin Jian'an in Meixian County, killed nearly 100,000 enemies, and recovered most of Fengxiang Mansion, Jingzhou and Huizhou.
At this time, the news of the victory seemed so precious, it was too important to Dameng and Li Chongshan, Li Chongshan felt that the sky was a lot brighter, who else dared to question his decision and authority now? Who else dares to say that Qin Zhenghao is a traitor?
