Chapter 376: A Great War That Can't Be Lost

Eastern Qi, Gaohu County, Qi army camp. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Guo Yunji, the front-line commander of the Qi army, frowned, and his eyes kept falling on the map without taking his eyes off for a moment.

This time, the battle between Qi and Chu broke out extremely suddenly, without the slightest warning in advance, and it was the first time in Guo Yunji's military career that such a large-scale war was launched in such a midwinter weather.

There will be a big war in Qi and Chu, this is the consensus of the world, but what Guo Yunji didn't expect was that it happened at this point in time, because there was not enough psychological preparation, and in the early stage of the war, the Qi army really suffered a lot of losses.

The Chu army was led by their emperor's pro-army, the Huofeng Army. This is the trump card army of the Chu people, and its combat effectiveness is indeed a grade stronger than that of the border army of Qi State, similar to the dragon inlaid army of the Son of Heaven of Great Qi. As soon as the war started, he used his killer move, without any temptation, and it greatly surprised Guo Yunji.

Obviously, the current coach Luo Liang and the previous coach Cheng Wuben's combat command art are very different, Cheng Wuben is stable, every battle, is to strive to be undefeated, but this Luo Liang is ruthless, like a gambler, as soon as he plays the first game, he invests all the gambling capital.

This unconventional dry method once made Guo Yunji busy, the front line was in an emergency, more than ten days of war, the Qi army was repelled from the original defense line for hundreds of miles, and now the Chu army has penetrated deep into the territory of Qi.

Gaohu County must no longer tolerate mistakes, if they lose another period and lose Gaohu, the Chu army will really open the door of Qi, Luo Liang's offensive line, will no longer have a clear context as now, but can choose the direction of attack at will, which will pose a huge problem for the defense of Qi.

It's like you can only spread your palms to defend your vital points, while your opponent can clench your fists tightly together to give you a heavy blow, and it is self-evident who suffers. This is not only something that he does not want to see, but also something that His Majesty the Emperor will never tolerate. If it really becomes that situation, I am afraid that my military career will come to an end.

For Guo Yunji, Gaohu County is a support point that he must hold. At the time of the emergency on the whole front, Guo Yunji had already expected this, although this was only the worst of the several possibilities he had imagined at that time, but he still made some plans for this, what he didn't expect was that after the war, the Qi army was defeated one after another, and the worst option still irreversibly appeared in front of him.

Gaohu County will become a node of this sudden outbreak of war, and if the decisive battle of Gaohu is won, the two sides will enter the stage of stalemate, which is still an acceptable result for Daqi, which has strong national strength, and the longer the stalemate, the more beneficial it will be for Daqi. But if the decisive battle of Gaohu is lost, then for a long time, the Qi State will enter a passive defense. Because for the Qi State, they never thought that one day, they would be invaded by the Chu people.

Decades of confrontation with Chu have always been Qi people who have entered the Chu realm, and it is the first time that a situation like this has been encountered, which also makes the Qi country not mentally prepared enough for this.

In order for his military career not to be over, and for the glory of Daqi to be inviolable, he must fight this battle well. Now Gaohu has gathered 50,000 Qi troops, and Luo Liang, the commander of the Chu army, obviously also attaches great importance to this battle, and has also gathered similar troops in Gaojia County, the difference is that among the 50,000 people of the Chu army, 10,000 of them are the Huofeng army.

In terms of combat effectiveness, the Chu army has the upper hand, but geographically, it has the upper hand. On the whole, the two sides are equal, and this battle will be extremely cruel.

The old guy Li Zhi of Qin State began to jump again, after personally destroying the western border army of Chu State, Li Zhi disappeared for nearly two years, and the information from the ghost shadow was because Li Zhi shot to kill Zuo Lixing and he was also injured a lot, and in the past two years, he should have gone to recuperate.

Now that the two countries of Qi and Chu are at war, and the Qi State has suffered defeats in the early stage, this old guy finally can't hold back and wants to jump out.

Li Zhi, the guy who looks like an old peasant in the countryside, is not unreasonable to be listed as one of the most terrible enemies by the Great Qi Emperor, the last time he made a move, he reversed the disadvantage of Western Qin in the western part of Chu in one fell swoop, so that the western border army of Chu had been operating for many years was wiped out, greatly improving the border situation of Qin, and then, the two countries shook hands and made peace, and Western Qin even married his princess to Chu Emperor Min Ruoying. On the other side, because the Yue State was hit hard, the deterrent effect of the Qin army on the border has been reduced to the lowest point, and the international situation of the Qin State has never been a good situation in history for a while, no need to think about it, Li Zhi must want to take this opportunity to bite the Qin State again, if he succeeds again, then the Qin State will really turn over.

Exhaling deeply, Guo Yunji retracted his thoughts, these things should be the questions of His Majesty the Emperor and the bigwigs in the court, and he, the most important thing is to fight this battle well, the decisive battle of Gaohu, once he fails, he will be knocked into the dust first.

His Majesty is extremely generous when he should be tolerant, but when he should be powerful, his means are also chilling.

"Guo Shuai, Lord Shu is too much." General Wang Jiarong looked at Guo Yunji dissatisfied, "Robbing the child of the eldest princess of Great Chu, doesn't he want to think about the consequences of this matter?" Even if he had informed us in advance, he would not have been so passive now. ”

Guo Yunji withdrew his gaze from the map and shook his head: "This is not a matter of adults. In the past 20 years, Cheng Wuben's ironclad policy has given us all the illusion that the Chu people will never take the initiative to attack, and it is clear that with the ascension of the new emperor of Chu, their military policy has also changed greatly, and we are still immersed in the past experience, which is the main reason for our early failure. As for Luo Liang saying that it was because of this incident, it was just an excuse, as long as he wanted to start this war, he could even say that he lost a horse, a bowl for eating, or anything else, and he thought that our people had stolen or robbed it. ”

Shu Hui set up a plot to rob Princess Zhaohua's two children, and the deep reasons that exist in it are related to the second battlefield opened up by the people of Chu and the backyard of Qi. With the strong rise of the Taiping army, the Qi State must take certain precautions against the Taiping army. The Taiping army is still quite useful to the Qi people now, and it is necessary to use them to curb the expansion of the Chu army in Baoqing, and according to the report on the combat effectiveness of the Taiping army submitted by Shu Hui to the imperial court, it is also necessary for the Qi state to face up to this newly rising force.

In Shu Hui's report, the evidence is conclusive that if the Qi army wants to destroy the Taiping army, it must send a regular field army no less than the Taiping army instead of other county soldiers, otherwise it will bring humiliation on itself.

It is obviously not cost-effective for a field army of tens of thousands of people to annihilate a target that is still valuable to the Qi country. Then the plan proposed by Shu Hui is feasible.

"It's a pity that it looks like Lord Shu has failed now." Wang Jiarong exhaled heavily: "The girl has been taken back, but the male doll was inexplicably snatched away dozens of miles away from our camp, and I haven't figured out which force snatched him away until now, and I paid so much, but in the end it was such a result, which is really depressing." ”

"Nothing is 10 out of 10 sure, there are risks in everything you do, you have led the army for so many years, haven't you understood this truth? Don't think about these extraneous things, now we have to concentrate on winning the battle in front of us, by the way, is Mr. Tao from Nantianmen still satisfied with our arrangement? Guo Yunji asked.

"Mr. Tao's shelf is inevitably too big." Wang Jiarong was a little dissatisfied, "What if he is a grandmaster?" The last general has also seen Cao Wangye, the prince's cultivation is higher than him, but he is also amiable to us people, this is good, he treats me like his servant, and he is really angry. ”

Guo Yunji laughed, "Who made him a grandmaster?" He was invited by us, and he is from Nantianmen, Jiarong, don't forget, our royal master of Daqi, that one is not from Nantianmen. Speaking of which, the prince is still his junior brother, the shelf is bigger, and it is acceptable, tomorrow's decisive battle, we are still counting on him to resist Fu Baoshi. ”

"Yes, the Admiral understands." Wang Jiarong said.

"Go ahead, have a good rest, and let's have a good fight with the Chu people tomorrow." Guo Yunji said with a smile.

In Gaojia County, the two armies not far from each other are fighting hard and accumulating strength, and they are full of confidence in the next confrontation between the two armies, but at the midpoint between the two armies, there is a hidden place, but there are a few uninvited guests.

Princess Zhaohua, Aunt Ying, two female internal guards, and, of course, a child.

"Your Highness, let them take Wen'er to the Chu army camp, tomorrow, this will become a battlefield, it is too unsafe for Wen'er to stay here, and there must be many masters in the Qi army, Wen'er can't have any more accidents." Aunt Ying looked at the female doll who had just finished feeding and was lying in Min Ruoxi's arms and was sleeping deeply, and said.

Min Ruoxi stared down at the little baby in her arms, she would cherish it more only if she lost it, she was really reluctant to let her baby leave her by half a step, but Aunt Ying was right, tomorrow will be a battlefield here, and what she has done is extremely risky, and she can't let her child follow her to take risks.

She nodded and handed the child to the two female guards. "Take the child and go to Kunling Pass!" (To be continued.) )
