Chapter Twenty-Eight: Picking the Fruit
It turns out that this southern expedition also has this strategy of attacking the east and the west.
Only the superintendent knew this secret, and now the military advisor also knew, so the two of them had the courage to plan this operation.
The camp of Chaoyang has been placed in front of Yingling Pass for more than ten days, and the camp tent of the 200,000 army is continuous for dozens of miles.
There was no Chaoyang in the big tent of the Chinese army, only Qin Zhong and a few young generals sat there chatting.
"The black dogs and the military advisors in the inner court are all under control, don't make any mistakes. ”
Qin Zhong said to a young general.
"Don't worry, General, every two days I'll let them send out a message. ”
"That's good. ”
"It's just that we're staying here, and we're really embarrassed, and our hands are itching. ”
Several young generals looked very bored, so they didn't come to grind Qin Zhong.
"Stay honest first, if you have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, then I am afraid that you will be soft to kill. ”
Li Chaoyang left 20,000 elites to guard the camp, and he took people to Qiling and entered Shu long ago.
This road, Zhou Ge with the assistance of Liao Zhong led people to investigate clearly, Bashu civil strife, Li Chaoyang had the opportunity to destroy the Bashu State, but the time has not yet come, but the early work was assigned to Zhou Ge to do, and let Liao Zhong bring people to assist, Zhou Ge is a military wizard, but his reputation in the Qin State is not very good, that is because he fell when following the Marquis of Jinyang.
In fact, this matter is not Zhou Ge's problem, who let him be a person with the status of the red evil of the Xia State, and the Marquis of Jinyang used the guests of the Xia State as a military advisor to deal with the Xia State or the coalition army led by the Xia State, and it is strange that he is undefeated.
The red evil gave Li Chaoyang's suggestion was to go west to attack Bashu and attack south to take the remnants of Baling Kingdom, and the Qin Emperor's will to Li Chaoyang was generally the same, but this holy decree was suppressed by the history of the prison army, and it was not given to Li Chaoyang, but Li Chaoyang actually knew, and the only thing he didn't know was that Qin Huang still had a secret will.
Since you play the history of the supervising army, Li Chaoyang will play with him, and whoever plays to death may not be necessarily.
At this moment, the Chaoyang army has occupied Shaoqing City, and the surprise attack is almost bloodless.
This is because Cheng Yi, the general of Zhendong stationed in Shaoqing City, was dismissed from military power and placed on death row in Zhaotong City, waiting for the autumn queen to be beheaded.
The new king of Bashu made a rebellion, and wanted to sweep away those old ministers in the old king's period, thinking that that would be the only way to really grasp the real power, but the result was to cause civil strife, and the general Cheng Biao of Zhenxi was forced to rebel, and now he actually threw himself into the arms of Qin, and one-third of the territory of Bashu was divided.
Nine times out of ten, the veteran was either dismissed and put on death row, or died inexplicably, the ancestor Cheng Zong vomited blood, was bedridden when he was sick, and the Apocalypse Army was almost dismantled, and the ancestor Cheng Zong secretly ordered Cheng Dongxing to take the Apocalypse Army to Chi Hades City to avoid trouble.
Chi Ming City is not far from the southeast border city of Bashu Kingdom.
The soldiers and horses in the hands of the king of Bashu are the loyal protection army, the Praetorian Guard army and part of the city defense army formed by him.
Therefore, those large and small towns far away from Zhaotong City do not have many people at all, and they have no combat effectiveness at all.
It only took more than ten days for Li Chaoyang to include more than a dozen cities in the northeast of Bashu, and the king of Bashu has not yet received a report.
Bashu is really going to play with birds.
If it weren't for the terrain on the border with Qin that discouraged the Qin army, the local county soldiers of Qin would have been able to easily take a few of his cities.
Zhou Ge and Liao Zhong sat in Nanling City, which was less than eight hundred miles away from Zhaotong City, the capital of the Bashu Kingdom, because of the Zhaotong River, Zhou Ge suggested that the pace of progress be suspended, and he did not plan to go south, because the Zhaotong River bent east into the Henan area of the Li River, until the part of the Li family, which was the area where the Apocalypse Army was located, and he didn't want to meet the Apocalypse Army.
I don't want to touch this mold.
Because of the indulgence in the past six months, the overall strength of the Yingchuan army has decreased a lot, although it seems to be a bad thing, but Zhou Ge and Liao Zhong know that this is the strategy of the Chaoyang Dynasty to clean up the chaos.
Li Chaoyang did it deliberately.
In recent years, there have been few major battles, and the Yingchuan Army has been infiltrated and installed by the inner court and the Ministry of War, and it is no longer the Yingchuan Army led by Li Chaoyang, because the war is small, Li Chaoyang can't get rid of them too much, and the Qin Emperor is just going to empty him at this time, and Li Chaoyang will take the opportunity to let the Yingchuan Army mess up first, only chaos, can find out those people who are placed in the inner court, as for those sent by the Ministry of War, Li Chaoyang really doesn't care, that's a matter on the surface, easy to solve, there is really a big war, let the enemy get rid of them.
The most difficult thing is those people in the inner court, some of whom are too hidden and not easy to dig out.
There is a Lingjian Mountain across the river in the north of Chi Ming City, under the mountain is the Lingjian City, this river is a tributary of the Zhaotong River, connected to the North River of the Zongye National Pond Water Pass, the Lingjian City is at the junction of the two rivers, and it belongs to the boundary of the Baling Country after passing the Qishan Mountain to the north.
Li Chaoyang was in this city, and he only brought 5,000 elites, and the general Jia Xin commanded the army.
In the city lord's mansion, Li Chaoyang held a banquet to entertain Ma Su and others, the staff of the Marquis of Jinyang.
"General Li's progress is rapid, and Hou Ye is too worried. ”
Li Chaoyang took more than a dozen cities in the northeast of Bashu Kingdom in ten days, and basically did not use much sword soldiers, which made Ma Su very surprised.
The Marquis of Jin Yang was worried that Yingchuan, the only thing he relied on, would be dismantled, so he sent his staff Ma Su to bring people over to help, but he didn't expect to bring Li Chaoyang to be so strong under the interference of unfavorable factors.
"Li Mou does not have the full support of Hou Ye, how can he have such an achievement today, in order to keep Hou Ye's family background, he can only fight hard. ”
"Okay, well done, but how do you get that half back?"
Ma Su applauded, but he was also worried about being separated by the Ministry of War and the Inner Court, after all, the Marquis of Jinyang regarded the Yingchuan Army as his private property.
"Li has already made arrangements, and he will get it back when the time comes. ”
"The general sent someone to take us here, and I knew you had the next move, haha, the general is still so brave. ”
Ma Su slapped Li Chaoyang on the back.
Li Chaoyang has always been a subordinate general of Jinyang Hou, expressing his loyalty to the Hou Ye, and the Jinyang Hou is also counting on Li Chaoyang's part to turn over, and he has saved a lot of face in recent years.
Now that the inner court and the military department want to dismantle the Yingchuan army, how can the Marquis of Jinyang not be in a hurry, and he has gone through a lot of relationships, but Emperor Qin's will is firm, which makes the Marquis of Jinyang very aggrieved.
Unexpectedly, Li Chaoyang operated and set up the military department to easily seize one-fifth of the territory of Bashu.
In fact, what Emperor Qin and even the Marquis of Jinyang and the inner court of the military department did not know was that Li Chaoyang took these dozen cities so easily, and it was all a few years of operation, just when the time was ripe, the melons were ripe
Now is the time to pick up the fruits.
"Doesn't the general plan to cross the river and seize that part of Henan?"
"Don't have too much appetite, besides, the Apocalypse Army doesn't want to ...... it now"
