Chapter 117: The Situation Calms Down

Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!

Feng Yi looked at the priest very gratefully. The offer to let him repel the Kui Huan army that invaded Sanfu was actually to give him a chance to make amends.

The defeat in the Battle of Hanyang, he does have an unshirkable responsibility, His Majesty has a grudge against him, and the soldiers of the Jingshi Army have no resentment against him?

In this battle, more than 40,000 Jingshi troops were lost in Hanyang, can the surviving soldiers not complain about him? Defeating the enemy army that captured Wangxian County can also greatly reduce the dissatisfaction in the hearts of the soldiers.

Liu Xiu looked at the sacrifice, then at Feng Yi, pondered for a moment, and said: "The expedition to the west (Feng Yi) is the main, and the expedition (sacrifice) is supplemented, within the month, the enemy army must be driven back to Hanyang and recapture the lost territory!" ”

"Wechen obeys!" Feng Yi and Priest Zun both bowed and bowed.

Liu Xiu glanced at the two of them again, waved his hand and said, "Stand down!" ”

"Wechen retires!" Feng Yi and the priest bowed, took two steps back, and then turned around and walked out of the main hall.

When he got outside, Feng Yi couldn't help but let out a long breath, and at the same time raised his sleeves and wiped the sweat on his head. When the priest came over, he bowed his hand and said solemnly: "This time, thank you for interceding for me!" ”

The priest smiled at Feng Yi, returned the salute, and said, "Gongsun is serious, I didn't talk about intercession just now, I just talked about things. ”

He sighed lightly and continued: "Now the Jingshi army led by His Majesty is full of wounded soldiers and low morale, and it is not suitable to fight again. ”

After a pause, he looked at Feng Yi and said: "Your Majesty experienced the defeat of Hanyang, and did not punish Gongsun, but just let Gongsun lead the troops to attack the invading enemy, which is already extraordinarily gracious." ”

The Western Army did not return the same way, but entered Bingzhou, and won the three counties of Beidi, Anding, and Shangjun in one go, and it is difficult to say whether Feng Yi had merit or demerits.

For the imperial court, it must have been a great achievement for the Western Army to conquer the three counties, but for His Majesty, it was indeed a fault that the Western Army failed to arrive in time to Hanyang.

In fact, Xi Zun also wanted to ask Feng Yi, what did he think at that time, why did he suddenly lead his troops into the state? You've solved the danger of Daijun, wouldn't it be better for you to go back the way you came? There are no later problems! Seeing the question on his face, Feng Yi said meaningfully: "If our army does not enter the state at that time, does not wipe out the main force of the enemy army, and does not give Lu Fangyu a heavy blow and deterrence, as long as our troops withdraw from Daijun, it will not be long before the enemy army will still be rolled."

The earth came back and invaded Daigun again. The priest listened carefully, nodding his head while listening, feeling that what Feng Yi said was not unreasonable. Feng Yi continued: "At that time, the first grandson was not in Daijun, and he didn't see the tragic situation of Daijun, and Lu Fangjun joined forces with the Huns and Wuhuan people to invade Daijun together

All over the county, killing, burning, looting, doing all kinds of evil, the people suffered, and the corpses were everywhere, if the first grandson was also there at that time, I believe that the first grandson would have made the same choice as me. ”

He didn't expect Daijun to be so miserable, and the priest frowned and asked, "In the main hall just now, why didn't Gongsun tell His Majesty this?" Feng Yi shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Since Your Majesty started the army, he has stumbled, although he has repeatedly fallen into a desperate situation, but in the end, he can turn the danger into a disaster, especially on the battlefield, he has indeed achieved victory in battle, and he must overcome the battle, and His Majesty is very proud in his bones."

Target. This defeat, Your Majesty has a fire in his heart, His Majesty does not want to explore whether what I did is right or wrong, the more I say, the more wrong I am, it is better to admit my mistake directly. ”

Sai Zun looked at Feng Yi deeply, and said quietly: "But in this way, this fire in Your Majesty's heart can't be sent out even if you want to, Gongsun, aren't you deliberately making Your Majesty uncomfortable?" ”

Feng Yi said: "Your Majesty is uncomfortable, it is better than chilling the soldiers." ”

After a pause, he said: "The 100,000 soldiers of the Western Expeditionary Army, first conquer Dai County, and then conquer and merge Prefecture and Liangzhou, defeat Lu Fang, defeat Xiongnu and Wuhuan, and subdue the three counties. ”

There is nothing to say, for the generals in the army, Feng Yi is a good commander, but for His Majesty, he may not be a good courtier.

Feng Yi smiled at the priest and said with relief: "Don't worry, I know Your Majesty, Your Majesty's broad-mindedness is far beyond what you and I can compare, and the anger in Your Majesty's heart will naturally dissipate in a few days." ”

The next day, Feng Yihe obeyed Liu Xiu's order and led the Han army westward and went straight to Wangxian to meet the invading Kui army.

Don't look at Wang Yuan's fight against Liu Xiu, but against Feng Yi, Wang Yuan doesn't have much confidence.

Wang Yuan divided the 100,000 army under his command into three parts, 60,000 as the main force, staying in Wangcheng, 20,000 soldiers, stationed in the north of Wangcheng, and the other 20,000 soldiers stationed in the south of Wangcheng.

His plan was that if the Western Expeditionary Army came directly to attack Huangcheng, his own 60,000 main forces could withstand the Western Expeditionary Army in the city, and the two armies in the north and south could form a flank attack on the Western Expeditionary Army and threaten the two wings of the Western Expeditionary Army.

After the Han army led by Feng Yi arrived in Wangxian, they did not pay attention to the two enemy armies stationed outside Wangcheng, and the main force of the Han army immediately launched a fierce attack on Wangcheng.

The two Kui armies stationed in the north and south of Huangcheng then marched towards the two flanks of the Western Army.

In this regard, Feng Yi had already prepared, he immediately sent a priest to lead 20,000 Beijing division troops to meet the enemy army in the north, and ordered Han Xin to lead 20,000 western expeditionary troops to meet the enemy army in the south, and then ordered Geng Shu to lead Youzhou to raid and harass the enemy's rear.

Wang Yuan's two armies and horses arranged outside Wangcheng were defeated by the Han army of Xizun, Han Xin, and Geng Shu, and the two soldiers and horses retreated from the north and south of Wangcheng to the city.

The Han army then covered up, and when all the Kui Huan army retreated to Wangcheng, the Han army led by Sai Zun stormed the north city of Wangcheng, and the Han army led by Han Xin stormed the west city of Wangcheng. The Han army formed a three-sided siege on Wangcheng.

The offensive of the Han army was too fierce, which made Wang Yuan feel cold and did not dare to continue to defend Huangcheng.

After all, there are still tens of thousands of Han troops in Chang'an, and if this Han army rushes over again, then the Han army can form a siege of Huangcheng, and they can't run if they want to.

After some consideration, Wang Yuan decisively ordered the whole army to withdraw from the west of the city and return to Hanyang.

The Kui Huan army led by Wang Yuan did not make too stubborn resistance here in Wangcheng, so they all withdrew from Wangcheng, and the Han army led by Feng Yi then pursued, and the Kui Huan army retreated again and again, and finally all withdrew from Sanfu and retreated back to Hanyang.

Wang Yuan's battle in Hanyang, the tactics were appropriate, and the soldiers were like gods, and they were really deceitful and elegant, virtual and real, which was impossible to guard, but Wang Yuan's military talents seemed to be all used on Liu Xiu.

When it came to the Battle of Wangxian, in front of Feng Yi's expeditionary army, Wang Yuan did not show a military genius at all, and as soon as the two sides came into contact, he led his army to retreat.

In this battle, the Western Expeditionary Army was surging, the Kui Huan Army was surging and retreating, and the battle between the two sides did not reach the point of breaking the head and bleeding, and soon ended with the retreat of the Kui Huan Army.

The Kui Huan army withdrew from Sanfu, and the Western Army was stationed in Wangxian, and soon, the edict of the Son of Heaven was transmitted to the Han army camp.

Not only were the generals and officers of the Western Army rewarded, but even the ordinary soldiers below were rewarded, and those with high military merits could receive hundreds of dollars, and those with low military merits could also receive hundreds of dollars.

Such a generous reward for the officers and soldiers of the whole army is naturally not because of this small battle of Wangxian. This reward is actually a reward for the battle of Daijun and the battle of annexing states of the Western Expeditionary Army, as well as the subjugation of the three counties.

Although His Majesty's reward came a little late, the officers and men of the whole army were still very happy, and the whole battalion was smiling and their morale was high.

A few days later, the 50,000 Han troops led by Wu Han also arrived in Sanfu.

At present, there are as many as 200,000 Han troops stationed in the Sanfu area, and the current situation is very clear.

In the face of the menacing Han army, Kui Huan was afraid and asked Gongsun Shu of Shu for help.

At present, a considerable part of Gongsun Shu's soldiers and horses are in Nanjun, fighting against Cen Peng, but the battle is very hard, there is no progress for a long time, and there are countless losses and losses.

In response to Kui Huan's request for help, Gongsun Shu promised that he would give assistance, and at the same time, Gongsun Shu ordered all his own soldiers who were fighting in Nanjun to retreat to Shu.

At this point, the tripartite forces of Liu Xiu, Kui Huan, and Gongsun Shu entered a period of relative peace.

The biggest problem facing the Han army now is the shortage of grain and grass. If you attack Liangzhou now, it is good that you can end the war in a short time, but once the war drags on for a long time, the Han army will face the dilemma of having no food to eat.

Chang'an, Weiyang Palace.

Liu Xiu and the generals gathered together. Liu Xiu frowned and said: "Now that our army's food and grass have become increasingly tense, it is not a wise move to send troops to Hanyang again, what do you think?" ”

Wu Han said: "Your Majesty, as long as Sikong can transport another 200,000 stone of grain to Sanfu, our army can attack Hanyang!" ”

Sai Zun shook his head and said, "Duke Wu, before our army sent troops, Sikong had repeatedly warned that the treasury was empty!" ”

Wu Han said disapprenosingly: "I think Sikong still has a way to gather enough food." ”

In the past, Song Hong always said that the treasury was empty, but when they went on the expedition, didn't they still get enough grain and grass?

Sai Zun smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid, now Sikong really can't get another 200,000 stone grain." ”

The 200,000 army crusaded against Kui, and 200,000 stone grain was the most basic grain and grass guarantee, and if 200,000 stone grain could not be gathered, this battle could not be fought at all.

Liu Xiu said: "Two days ago, I sent a letter to Sikong, who said that the grain and grass in the treasury are now less than 50,000 stones. "How easy is it to get 200,000 stone of grain?

Wu Han muttered in a low voice: "Maybe Sikong is crying poor again." ”

Hearing this, Liu Xiu glared at Wu Han dissatisfiedly, the major event of the military aircraft is related to the life and death of 200,000 soldiers, how dare Song Hong lie?

Feng Yi arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, there is not enough grain and grass, and you can't easily move troops, Weichen thinks that you should wait until the grain harvest after the autumn and then send troops to Hanyang!" ”

Liu Xiu was silent. The priest said: "Your Majesty! ”

"Speak!"

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that now, our army should be in Sanfu Tuntian."

Seeing Liu Xiu looking at himself intently, Sai Zun continued: "Da Sima Ke led his troops in Chang'an Tuntian, Gongsun Ke led the Western Army in Tuntian, Qi County, and our troops can be in Tuntian, Huang County. ”

There is a ready-made Tuntian area in Chang'an, and for a long time, the Western Army has been in Tuntian near Chang'an.

Qi County is located in the north of Chang'an, adjacent to Anding County, also along the Jingshui River, rich in water sources, fertile land, suitable for Tuntian, while Wangxian County is on the edge of Weishui, which is also suitable for Tuntian.

Liu Xiu thought for a while and asked, "Ziyan, Gongsun, Bozhao, what do you think?" ”

Wu Han, Feng Yi, and Geng Yi looked at each other, bowed to Liu Xiu in unison, and said, "Weichen seconded the proposal." "No matter how belligerent Wu Han is, he can't let the soldiers go hungry to fight, without food, everything is empty talk. Seeing that the three of them supported Tuntian, Liu Xiu nodded and said: "Okay, according to the opinion of the first grandson, your department is in Tuntian, Huang County, and the Western Army is in Tuntian, Qi County, and Da Sima leads the Beijing division army to Tuntian, Jingzhao. ”
