Chapter 55 Wuwei and the country are destroyed
The staff and military adviser knew Li Zongxun's thoughts.
The situation of these hundreds of thousands of horses is very embarrassing and crisis, surrounded by enemies, it is not so easy to break out of the encirclement, but the urgent thing is to solve the food problem.
It was impossible to retreat back to the north bank of the Chen River, where a large number of Xia Guoshui troops appeared, and someone saw the figure of the butcher Zhang Yu.
To the west, there is the strongest combat power of the Xia army's Shenwei army, the most important thing is that there is a triangle of the fork of the Li River and the Chen River, the terrain is narrow and complex, and there are no large corps to fight, to the east there are only two narrow land routes on the north line and the Li River, but in the middle is the vast Poyang Lake, Li Zongxun's army is mostly not good at water warfare, although now although nearly a thousand fishing boats and cargo ships and timber have been collected, but Li Zongxun does not dare to go deep into Poyang Lake, then the only way out is to cross the Li River to kill the hinterland of Wuwei State in the south of the Yangtze River, because as far as they know, in order to reach an agreement with the Qin Emperor, the Wuwei State persecuted and killed those old generals who could fight according to the requirements of the Qin Emperor's envoys, and disbanded most of the army, even if it is re-recruited now, it can be imagined that its combat power is very average.
In fact, this move is also a last resort.
There was no Qin army backup on the side of Shangchengguo, and he brought enough grain and grass, and it was a dying place over there, and there was no one for a long time, so they all avoided the disaster of war.
The territory occupied by Wuwei Kingdom is now almost lifeless by them, even if Emperor Qin's will arrives, and Li Zongxun is named the marquis of the two counties, which is actually the meaning on paper.
Unless a large number of reinforcements come in and a large number of immigrants are relocated.
At the beginning, the staff suggested that this step be taken, but in fact it was to escape responsibility, and it was of little practical significance.
Now it is necessary to cross the river with the idea of breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat to attack the Wuwei country, which is also forced out.
To take the Wuwei Kingdom, as long as the Xia Kingdom does not break through their defenses and hold on until the Western Route Army comes, their move will be alive.
The only thing that worries them is whether they can encounter the Xia army when crossing the river.
"General, don't worry, as expected, the Xia Guoshui Army will not hinder us. ”
The staff seemed to be very confident in saying this.
"You mean ......?"
Jian Jun Shi and Jin Yang Hou confronted each other, and they all had a flash of inspiration and understood the reason.
"Hehe, it's just that everyone has to settle this matter together afterwards. ”
Li Zongxun also understood.
It's very simple, Wu Weiguo betrayed the anti-Qin alliance dominated by Xia Guo, and his Xia Kingdom naturally didn't care whether he lived or died, and even wanted to make up for it to relieve his hatred.
And Li Zongxun made a wrong move and killed half of his allies, whether it was to survive or lie, he wanted to take the other half down, that is, it was a fact, and he would destroy the country of Wuwei, whatever he wanted, Emperor Qin would no longer hold them responsible.
In general, the state of Wuwei was abandoned.
For the sake of morality, Xia Guo will not be contaminated with the affairs of Wuwei Country at this time, regardless of whether he is clean or not.
Sure enough, when Li Zongxun's army crossed the river, he didn't see the Xia State Naval Army, and the scene of hundreds of thousands of troops crossing the river was so spectacular.
By the end of July, Li Zongxun had basically destroyed the Wuwei Kingdom.
Basically, there was not much resistance, and the Qin army also encountered a large number of Wuwei troops when crossing the river, but the combat effectiveness of these armies was really not very good, and they collapsed at the touch of a button, and then collapsed for thousands of miles, and in the end, only the two border cities in the southernmost part next to the Xia State and the Southern Barbarian State did not fall.
This was because of the presence of the Xia army and the Southern Barbarian army in these two border cities, and Xu Fan, the lord of the Wuwei Kingdom, and his royal family members and Xu Chang, who was seriously injured physically and mentally and bedridden, fled here.
When Li Zongxun saw the Xia army and the Southern Barbarian army appear, he stopped.
These two cities are next to the Shitang City of the Xia State and the other is close to the Southern Barbarian State, since there are Xia Army and the Southern Barbarian Army appearing, Li Zongxun does not dare to make a mistake, at present, he is still alone in the depths, although the record is remarkable, but the back road is not opened, the reinforcements are not open, or the Western Route Army is not coming, and he may be swallowed up by the Alliance Army with the Xia State as the main position.
Except for the escape of the lord of Wuwei, it was basically destroyed.
Removed from the list, that's a sure thing.
As long as the Qin Emperor received Li Zongxun's letter, he would definitely remove the Wuwei State from the name of the alliance leader and assign it to the Great Qin Empire.
Xu Fan only saw Luo Yu in the border city, and Luo Yu only guaranteed the safety of Xu Fan and his family, and did not say much, while Xu Chang, who was bedridden and dying, was sent to Yushan Midu by Luo Yu.
Zhang Xian is still in Wuling City, the Qin State West Route Army has not come, it does involve him too much, he does not dare to leave, he waits with all his heart, now Wuwei Kingdom is destroyed, but this process of destruction is different from what he expected, but it has become a fact, then the next step is to change the strategy.
"Your Majesty, isn't it time to destroy Li Zongxun's people?"
Liao Lin saw that the lord of the country was standing in the courtyard and looked at the southeast for a long time, and guessed that he might be planning to deal with Li Zongxun, so he asked.
Zhang Xian came back to his senses and shook his head.
"It's not time yet. ”
"Not yet?"
Liao Lin was surprised.
"Emperor Qin has not announced that Wuwei Country has been removed, and he has not announced that Wuwei Country has become the land of Qin State, so we can't move, because even if we destroy Li Zongxun's army, we still owe a moral problem to take Wuwei Country as our own. ”
