Volume 5 Chapter 73

Nei Shi Teng was originally the Taishou of Nanjun, and this time Bashu transported money and grain, so he followed Yingzheng to Pingyang. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

Yingzheng attaches great importance to Nei Shi Teng, Bashu is the granary of Daqin, Nei Shi Teng is stationed in Nanjun, and he is well governed, not only the Bashu region has become more and more wealthy, but also allows Daqin to have a stable rear.

This time, Ying Zheng specially transferred him here, how can he be so talented, how can he be on the side? Nei Shi Teng also understood the meaning of Ying Zheng, this was to promote him, so he naturally followed happily.

In the face of the menacing five-nation coalition army, Ying Zheng and many generals stayed up all night and analyzed the strength deployment of the two sides in detail.

In history, there have been a total of four joint attacks on Qin, and this is already the fifth. Every time they merge and verticalize, the national strength of the Qin State has been attenuated a lot, and even if the strategy of long-distance and close-range attacks remains unchanged, it will not be able to resist the situation of being attacked this time.

The alliance of the five countries, for the time being, only saw the soldiers of the Three Jins, where are the armies of Yan and Chu? This is one of the most frustrating things, and if you can't find out what is going on, it's hard to take the next step.

Within a few days, Meng Fu and Pang Nuan faced each other, and the two sides started a big battle.

At this time, the spies came to report and find out the movements of the coalition forces. The army of Chu was resting in the area of Ningye, as if waiting for something.

Take out the map and look at it, Ying Zheng and the others were shocked, this position choked Meng Fu's throat, if the Chu army attacked Hangu Pass, Meng Fu would not be able to return, how could he fight wholeheartedly?

The spy also reported that Qi Yan was not on the list of the Five Nations Alliance, and it was only a small national guard who came to be coerced by Ji Jie.

It's good news, the defense of the country is not strong, and the army of Chu alone cannot block Meng's retreat. The key is to look at this battle, as long as Meng Fu can hold out for half a year, the coalition army should not attack itself.

The battle in front was scorching, and LΓΌ Buwei in the rear was also busy enough, constantly transporting grain and grass. It was even ordered that all Xianyang officials should contribute half of their private grain before the grain and grass of Bashu arrived, so as to barely fill this loophole.

While everyone was watching the battle, a small army quietly crossed the river south and set up a fort on the riverside, waiting for something.

The war lasted for four months, and Ying Zheng was about to go to the front line to boost morale, when a bad news came, Meng Fu was defeated and had withdrawn to Hangu Pass.

Ying Zheng said entangledly: "Pang Nuan is really a famous general, he is more than a few grades stronger than Zhao Kuo, and with the same strength, he can actually win." can't blame Meng Xiao, after all, he is old, and he can't compare to that year. ”

"Let's go, let's go to Hangu Pass."

But he was stopped by Nei Shi Teng and said: "King, please see, the army of Chu has not been mobilized, and even General Meng has retreated to Hangu Pass, and he has not gone to harass him, and his behavior is very suspicious. ”

"There is only one purpose for doing this, that is, there is still a route, which can bypass Hangu Pass and directly attack the interior of my Great Qin."

With this saying this, Ying Zheng hurriedly checked the map, the memory of his previous life was no longer available, and he could only look at the map today to truly reflect the current situation.

After carefully looking for the route, I didn't see anything, all kinds of mountains and rivers were dense, tens of thousands of troops crossed the mountains and mountains, and the logistics could not be supported at all, and it was impossible for the other side to climb the mountains.

A spy rushed in in a hurry, and hurriedly knelt down and said: "Enlighten my king, on the bank of the Nanshui River, there is a fortress, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and our scouts have been shot and killed within three miles. ”

Ying Zheng and Nei Shi Teng were shocked, and they planned to attack the east and the west, openly attacking Hangu Pass, secretly smuggling into the south water, and had already established fortifications, which were impossible to capture in a short time.

Nei Shi Teng hurriedly said: "Please also ask the king to return to Xianyang immediately, the enemy's movements are clear at a glance, attract the main force of our army in front of Hangu Pass, smuggle across Nanshui, detour to Pusaka, and only take the rear of Hangu Pass." ”

"Cutting off the back road, attacking inside and outside, General Meng can only wait for rescue, otherwise he will be trapped and die in Hangu Pass. At present, the food and grass of our army have not been replenished, other soldiers and horses are not here, and Urasaka has no troops to defend. ”

"If Puhan is captured again, Pingyang and Xianyang will be in danger. Compared with this, the king must sit in Xianyang in order to stabilize the morale of the army. This plan is too vicious, and the tone of the coalition army is too big, and they actually want to eat the national capital in one go. ”

Ying Zheng clenched his fists tightly, and said: "But this plan really grabbed our throat, and the probability of success is very high, immediately order it, in the territory of Daqin, except for the soldiers and horses of Hangu Pass and Jinyang, the rest of the troops will concentrate on Yu." ”

Nesten exclaimed: "Urasaka doesn't want it?" ”

Ying Zheng gritted his teeth and said: "It's too late, shrink the troops and one place, and there is a possibility of victory." ”

Quickly prepared, everything that could be taken away, and when Ying Zheng and the others arrived at Yucheng, three days had passed.

Seeing Yingzheng coming, LΓΌ Buwei asked strangely: "The king is not in Pingyang to supervise the battle, why did he come to Yucheng?" ”

Ying Zheng immediately said: "Please send an order to the prime minister immediately, build fortifications in Yucheng, I will return to Xianyang to mobilize the city defense army, and when the situation is most critical, I must send troops from Yongcheng to support." ”

"There is no food to be delivered, the coalition forces have crossed the South River and are about to join forces in Urasaka. Urasaka can't keep it, so we can only withdraw our people to the castle, clear the wilderness with a strong wall, and fight a decisive battle with it in the city. ”

Lu Buwei's face turned pale, stared at the map sharply, and said angrily: "Meng Fu misled the country, he was stupid by Pang Nuan, the enemy army made such a big move, why didn't you come back and tell me?" ”

"Not only will Puhan not be able to hold on, but Anyi will also fall, and if the king does not return from Binh Duong, he will definitely attack Pi Lao and Binh Duong in the posture of a coalition army. Great Qin has never suffered such humiliation for so many years, and with just this move, Pang Nuan will become the great enemy of the country. ”

Ying Zheng said again: "How is the military transfer? ”

Lu Buwei said: "Yucheng has enough grain and grass, and please return to Xianyang as soon as possible, only if you sit in Xianyang, can you boost morale." In the future, the materials transferred from Bashu and other places must be placed in Xianyang. The walls of the city are short, and we must prepare for the worst if it is captured. ”

"I can only hold on to the city and give the king time to prepare for defense, as for Hangu Pass, don't worry, there is still a year's food reserve there. The enemy's battle line is too long, and if they are engaged in war within their own country, as long as they have a 'drag' trick, it is estimated that they will not be able to drag it for half a year, and they will inevitably withdraw their troops. ”

Ying Zheng said: "After all, fighting within my Great Qin, it is also the national strength that is damaged, if the time is ripe, please ask the father to capture Luoyang, destroy the Zhou Dynasty, take Jiuding, and return this shame." ”

Lu Buwei nodded in response, he had already planned to do a good job as a logistics officer, but the plan couldn't catch up with the changes, and Pang Nuan's move forced Lu Buwei to the front desk alive.

The war was unfolding in Yucheng, and he was most familiar with it here, and if Yingzheng was changed to command, he would definitely not be able to achieve unified scheduling. Since the Battle of Changping, changing generals has always been the most taboo thing in the Qin State.

In the end, Ying Zheng held Lu Buwei's hand, and the junior said in a tone: "My father, Zheng'er's life, please leave it to you." The battle of the Frog is best won, and if this battle is lost, my position will definitely be shaken. ”

LΓΌ Buwei nodded heavily, this battle cannot be defeated, if it fails, under the siege of people in Xianyang, the countries will definitely attack it en masse, so how much land will the Qin State lose?

When Yingzheng left, LΓΌ Buwei sent Li Xin and said directly: "Build fortifications, extend the line of the prison from Yucheng, clear the wilderness, and leave no food to replenish the coalition army." All the manpower and material resources should either be withdrawn from Binh Duong or Pu Duong, and resolutely not to obtain any supplies for the enemy. ”

Li Xin asked, "Why don't you withdraw to Yucheng?" ”

Lu Buwei shook his head and sighed: "It's too late, so as not to mix in the spies, what if the enemy mixes into the city under the banner of the Qin army?" General Li Xin, please quickly concentrate the troops, we must speed up and prepare. In case the city falls, you and I can only go back to Xianyang. ”

Li Xin also understands that Yucheng is the last line of defense in Xianyang, and it is only seventy or eighty miles away from Xianyang, in case he can't hold on? This thought immediately waved out of my mind, and I really didn't dare to think about the end.

And Ying Zheng returned to Xianyang in the evening, and directly invited Gong Qi, Mi Chen, Meng Wu and others to discuss matters in Zhangtai Palace.

Ying Zheng said: "This is the autumn of survival, the coalition army is coming too fast, the soldiers of Yongcheng may not be in a hurry, General Mengwu, please immediately bring all our troops, including the city defense army, and stick to Yucheng with Xiangfu." ”

"Be sure to be ready tonight, and tomorrow we will hold a swearing-in meeting, and this king will personally kill the blood and sacrifice the flag to strengthen the morale of our army."

"All the material reserves, Lord Mi Chen must try his best to cooperate, and all the official eunuchs must come to see them off. This time, I don't know how many Qin people will die, and I must say goodbye to everyone. ”

With that, the atmosphere became unusually cold.

No one could have imagined that Pang Nuan, the commander of the coalition forces this time, would actually make this move. First, he defeated Meng Fu head-on, forced him to stay in Hangu Pass, and successfully smuggled Nanshui, directly posing a threat to Xianyang.

There are many generals in Zhao State, since King Zhao Wuling, although the monarchs of Zhao State are not as good as one generation after another, but famous generals have appeared one after another. Just sent a Pang Nuan, which made Qin Guo breathless, if it was Li Mu, it is estimated that Ying Zheng and Lu Buwei would not dare to fight with him in Yucheng.

Duke Qi sighed: "If General Bai Qi is here, how can Pang Nuan's tricks be carried out?" ”

Everyone sighed again, at this time in the Qin State, the veterans are all old, and the young generals have not yet grown up. The reason why the national policy of eight-year rest and recuperation was formulated was to wait for the emergence of new generals.

At least a few people who can actually fight a war can at least see through the enemy's tricks. The current generals still use the previous ideology to govern the army, and they are tactically solidified and do not know how to be flexible.

The Central Plains is so big, who told you that to attack the Qin State, you have to enter through Hangu Pass? Everyone thinks that attacking from somewhere else will lead to defeat, so no one thinks about it.

Now Pang Nuan has done this, and it has been very effective, from the mobilization of Meng Fu's troops for several months of the battle, the Chu army pretended to cut off Meng Fu's retreat, this old general has become indecisive under various deterrences, how can he not be defeated?

In the final analysis, there is still a lack of talent, and fighting a war is not a game, and it is necessary to make reasonable policies for all aspects in order to attract talent. Look at these people around you, they are all grandparents, although Mi Chen is his father-in-law, but they are old women, and they are already a lot older.

Ying Zheng returned to the dormitory in a gloomy mood, if this battle is lost, will the Qi State also join the ranks of the joint attack on Qin? The answer is yes.

Thinking of this, Lin Ye came and called Li Si to come. Sometimes, when a person can't figure it out, you can listen to other people's opinions.
