Chapter 173: The Five Kingdoms Attack Huai Again
Wei and Zhao each sent 100,000 elite soldiers and tens of thousands of people to the south, the commander of Wei was Pang Juan, and the commander of Zhao was Zhao Xuan. The two countries joined forces in one place, went all the way south, and soon joined up with South Korea.
When the Huai army arrived, the armies of Wei and Zhao also arrived half a day apart.
This time, Wei, Zhao and South Korea learned the lesson of the last time when the Three Jin Coalition could not be unified in command, but were entrusted by Huai Guo to a stalemate in the Song State, and the three countries jointly elected Pang Juan as the commander of the Three Jin Dynasty.
Pang Juan did not shirk, immediately took over the token order flag, and began to command the Sanjin coalition army.
More than 600,000 troops from both sides of the Sanjin and Huai States gathered in the Yinghe River Valley, and the camp stretched for more than ten miles. Such a large-scale war instantly attracted the attention of the countries of Bangzhou.
The states of Qin, Qi, Yan, and Western Chu were all very concerned about this battle.
Sanjin didn't expect that this time would cause such a big battle.
Qin State, Yongdu.
Qin Hou looked at Gongsun Ying and said: "Zuo Shuchang, the army of the Three Jin Dynasty is fighting with Huai, and the land west of the Wei State must be empty, why don't you take this opportunity to attack Hexi and take it back?" ”
Gongsun Ying's brows were furrowed, and he was quickly calculating something in his heart, and after hearing Qin Hou's words, he said: "Your Majesty, the Three Jin Dynasty have been united this time, if my Qin State attacks Wei, Zhao State and South Korea will definitely come to the rescue." ”
"Wei has 300,000 troops, Zhao does not give much, and South Korea also has 200,000, even if the Sanjin and Huai compete with each other, once we intervene, the Sanjin can also send 300,000 troops to defend the land west of the river."
"Even if we wait for the Qin State to win, we will suffer heavy losses, and if the Three Jin Dynasty takes the opportunity to make peace with the Huai State, when the time comes, the Three Jin Dynasty will strike back, and my Qin State will not be able to resist it!"
Gongsun Ying knew very well that after the Qin State changed the law, its national strength was strong, but although the Qin State was strong, it could not defeat three with one.
What's more, Gongsun Martingale has been in Huai for many years and knows very well the strength of Huai State.
Qin Hou's face was a little unswerving.
Gongsun Ying continued: "Your Majesty, if the Qin State defeats the Three Jin Dynasty and succeeds in going east, the first thing to face is the Huai State. ”
"With the strength of the Huai State, I am not as good as the Qin State."
"All countries change the law, all based on the Huai law, the Huai country has changed the law for 300 years, using the Legalist royal road, its place is 2,000 miles, occupying half of the world, Qin wants to catch up, it has to take a hundred years of work."
"If we attack the Three Jin Dynasty at this time and let the already powerful Huai State continue to be strong, my Qin State will have to face an opponent that is even more powerful than the Three Jin Dynasty in the future."
"As your courtier, I must have a long-term vision and plan for the Qin State."
Hearing Gongsun Ying's words, Qin Hou was silent for a moment, and then stopped sending troops to Xihe.
"Then for today's plan, how will my Qin State do it?"
"Your Majesty, please move the capital to Xianyang!" Gongsun Martingale said.
"Move the capital to Xianyang?" Qin Hou was a little puzzled.
"Yes!" Gongsun Martingale said: "Move the capital to Xianyang!" ”
"Yongdu is too close to the west, and the capital was moved to Xianyang in order to better advance eastward, and at the same time, Xianyang is flat and surrounded by Weishui, Jingshui and other water flows. The water source is abundant, and millions of fertile fields can be cultivated. ”
"Xianyang is rich in products, but the population is not abundant, there is more room for development, and there are many nobles here in Yongdu, which has many obstacles to the implementation of the new law."
The Marquis of Qin thought for a moment and immediately agreed, and at the same time, Gongsun Ying changed the age of military service in the Qin State from seventeen to forty-five years old to seventeen to sixty years old.
After the implementation of this law, the number of soldiers in the Qin State increased again, and almost all the soldiers were already soldiers.
Zhongguo, more than 600,000 troops gathered here.
Huai Guo and the Three Jin Dynasty army continue to fight, although Wu Qi is not as good as his father, but he is also an excellent general, after being replenished by the army, and the Three Jin Dynasty have fought back and forth, but in the face of Pang Juan, Wu Qi is still a lot worse.
Pang Juan commanded an army of 300,000 and constantly launched attacks on Huai, and the three Jin Dynasty had already completed the change, and this was the time when the three Jin Dynasty were at their strongest.
The armies of both sides were not fighting, and hundreds of people were killed and wounded every day.
The army of the Three Jin Dynasty coordinated and constantly suppressed the Huai army under the command of Pang Juan. But Huai Guo made a mistake at this time.
When Wang Kan sent reinforcements at that time, he did not appoint Wu Qi as the commander-in-chief, and as a result, more than 300,000 Huai troops did not have a unified command.
This put the Huai army at a disadvantage when it fought with the army of the Three Jins.
As a first-class famous general, after fighting with the Huai army for a period of time, after discovering some problems with the Huai army, he immediately sent Wei Wushu to intersperse the Huai army, wanting to divide the Huai army.
After seeing this situation, Wu Qi immediately summoned the other Huai troops, and the two sides continued to fight.
It's just that Pang Juan is indeed worthy of his reputation, and his eyes are vicious, even if Wu Qi reacts quickly, the army of Huai State is still divided into parts.
Immediately, Pang Juan commanded the army to attack, wanting to swallow the divided part. It's just that the Huaiguo army is also elite, and they immediately sent troops to contain it, not giving Pang Juan a chance.
Huai Jun is very familiar with the land of Zhongguo, and with the help of Zhongguo, he is very familiar with the trend of mountains and rivers here. Although the command operation is not as good as the Sanjin, relying on the trend of mountains and rivers, the Sanjin is still blocked.
It's just that in the face of the continuous attack of the Sanjin coalition army, the Huai defense line is also retreating little by little.
After seeing this situation, Wei Hou, Zhao Hou, and Han Hou immediately invited Qi to attack together. Qi has always coveted the land of Huai and Huai, and after seeing that the Three Jin Coalition forces actually suppressed Huai, they immediately couldn't bear it and sent a large army to attack Huai.
When Qi attacked, Huai did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly dispatched 100,000 troops to the land of Huaisi to support. There were already 50,000 defenders in the land of Huaisi, plus 100,000, a total of 150,000 troops. It's just that this time the Qi State actually drew 200,000 troops to attack.
Qi is very familiar with the land of Huaisi, and the two sides are constantly fighting on the land of Huaisi.
The Marquis of Qi appointed Zou Ji as the prime minister and led the army to the battle. Zou Ji is also proficient in the art of war, after the Qi State changed the law, the strength of the soldiers improved, and the Huai State was a little unable to resist, so he had to give up Tancheng and retreat to Xiapi.
The Qi State won successive victories on the Huaisi battlefield and seized a large amount of land, and the nobles of the Qi State cheered, "Ke Fuhuan Gong hegemony." ”
Qi and Huai have deep grievances, and Qi Huan was hegemonic back then, but he was pulled down by Huai in the first war and almost interrupted. Now that there is a chance, it is natural to get revenge back.
At the same time, the Three Jin Dynasty also sent envoys to the Western Chu State and invited the Chu State to attack the Huai State together, but the road of the Western Chu State was rugged and difficult, even if the Three Jin Dynasty and the Huai State fought a big battle, Yicheng and Yuncheng still had tens of thousands of troops to defend.
Wang Kan never expected that less than a year after he succeeded to the monarch, Huai State would be attacked by Bang Wu again.
