"Your Highness," the lieutenant first saluted, and then said, "Presumably, Your Highness already knows that the Qiyan coalition army has been annihilated by our army on the front line of Dangjun?" ”

Fu Su was the head, of course he knew about this matter, when he defeated the Yan army led by Zang Di, the Qin army also sent 70,000 troops to fight.

It was at that time that the 70,000 Qin troops who went out to fight never returned to the Sanchuan military camp after the battle against the Yan army, and they did not know who instructed them to move to Dingtao in Dongjun.

When he learned that the 70,000 Qin troops who went out to fight did not return to the camp of Sanchuan County, but embarked on the road to Dingtao in Dongjun, Fusu also sent people to Sanchuan County to inquire about Xu Yan, and Xu Yan's reply was based on the needs of the situation.

What is needed? Xu Yan didn't say what was needed, but later Fusu found out that the 70,000 Qin troops arrived in Dingtao and accepted supplies from the Han State, and then Xu Yan's nephew Xu Yang became the commander of the Qin army. In addition to not changing the flag and changing the battle uniform, the army became a supernumerary army of the Han State, and under the leadership of Xu Yang, it went north, and the information that Fusu finally got was to go to the front line of the party, and it is not clear what it was doing.

The good 70,000 Qin troops have become an army under the command of the military generals of the Han State, what is the situation? It was only from that time that Fusu realized that Xu Yan had other plans, and when Fusu issued any orders to the Central Plains Army in the future, he never received a response.

The national system is collapsing, first Wang Ben is disobedient and disrespectful, and then Xu Yan "goes alone", Fusu said that it is absolutely false if he is not angry, but he can't attack because he doesn't have enough strength in his hands. What he didn't know was whether the collapse of the Qin state system was a self-inflicted collapse or an operation by the Han side.

Seeing that Fusu was just reluctant to speak, the communist lieutenant didn't mind, and continued directly: "The troops of the First Cavalry Corps, the Fourth Mixed Legion, and the Sixth Mixed Legion in the sequence of our national defense force have been liberated, and my king means that the First Cavalry Corps and the Sixth Mixed Legion entered Qin to help in the battle, I don't know Your Highness?" ”

The number of Han troops in Qin was already 80,000, and the first 30,000 Han troops to enter were on the defensive line built by Meng Tian, and these 30,000 Han troops had participated in the battles against the Xiongnu, Qi, and Yan forces more than once. According to Meng Tian's feedback, the Han troops who participated in the war were well-trained and had a strong sense of war.

Fusu once asked the lieutenant whether the 30,000 Han troops who had already participated in the war were the elite of the Han State, and the reply was that the 30,000 Han troops who participated in the war belonged to a kind of Han standing army, and the standing army of the Han State had nearly 400,000.

Standing Army? According to Fusu's understanding, it was a corps unit of the Han Army's Wehrmacht. As far as he knew, the army under the command of Han Wangzhe had been frequently reorganized, and the current National Defense Army, the Northern Garrison Army, the Southern Expeditionary Army, and the Forbidden Army were all determined at the last time, and in addition to that, they were a group of troops that were not officially given a number. For example, the 30,000 Han troops who entered the Qin land belonged to the category without a number.

"The 30,000 who entered Qin Land in advance and the 50,000 follow-up should be the Seventh Mixed Regiment of National Defense of the King of Han, and the commander of the corps is the general of the Communist Party, right?" Fusu had a smile on his face, but his eyes were a little tangled.

The lieutenant was stunned for a moment and replied, "Your Highness's news is really timely. ”

As for the Han army that entered Qin, it was also known to the Gongwei from his appointment that the 7th Mixed Regiment of the National Defense Army was formed on the spot, and he received an order to lead the 7th Mixed Regiment to assist the Qin army against the invading Xiongnu army.

"Is it just the army of the Huns?" Fusu laughed a few times: "That is to say, the King of Han will soon destroy the Kingdom of Qi, and the Kingdom of Yan will no longer exist?" ”

The lieutenant nodded "yes", thought about it and felt that it was necessary to introduce Fusu to the recent Han army's Central Plains strategy. It's also a good way to set the stage for those topics that are about to be discussed.

The Han Guang Corps retreated fifty miles after Zang Di left, and the second and third mixed corps of the Han Army pressed forward twenty li, and the distance between the two sides thirty miles began to hold each other.

"Han Guang withdraws troops?" Fusu didn't seem to be surprised at all, just said a word in an emotional tone and continued to listen silently.

The Han army landed from Jiaodong Bay. In addition to consolidating the beachhead and building enough ports, the total number of 30,000 infantry troops was temporarily organized into the Fifth Cavalry Corps, and with the coordination of infantry and cavalry, relying on the division and blockade advantages of the cavalry of the Fifth Cavalry Corps in the early stage. They soon occupied Jimo, and in the following month, they cleared the Qi army in several counties in succession, and advanced the front to the beach water line before stopping.

The reason for the rest of the soldiers in Jiaodong County is relatively simple. As the number of cities captured increased, a large part of the 30,000 foot soldiers were involved, and they no longer had enough troops to continue to expand the victory. The premise of wanting to take a closer step is that the Fourth Mixed Legion arrives by sea, but waiting for the arrival of the Fourth Mixed Legion should be to go directly to Linzi and prepare to attack the capital of Qi.

There is no additional view of Fusu on this point, because the Han army used cavalry on a large scale, and the military operations in terms of strategy and tactics are somewhat different from those of other countries, and the Qin army has also used similar tactics, but it cannot be compared with the Han army after sending troops to the north in terms of scale and scope.

"If you want to fight on a large scale, you need to have enough excellent officers in the middle and lower ranks," Fu Su said: "Han Wangzhe is a wise man, he set up a military academy as early as five years ago, and often teaches in person, presumably he has long planned the battle to the north." ”

There are many things that Fusu didn't say, one of them is that Lu Zhe is very good at camouflage, and Lu Zhe's posture five years ago was very low-key, even after occupying the land of the three counties, he did not get carried away, and finally became a prince under the canonization of the first emperor.

Lu Zhe, who became a prince, was even more low-key, and for a long time he was staring at Baiyue and beating him, and he didn't show any intention of going north at all.

Later, the state of Chu made a move to Huan Chu in Lujiang County, and Lu Zhe also passively helped in the war, silently annexed the Huan Chu forces, and then risked to blitz Huizhang County from the Yangtze River, after that battle, the state of Chu became weak, and the counties owned by Lu Zhe also increased Jiujiang County and Lujiang County, becoming the princes of five counties.

When everyone thought that Lu Zhe was sitting on the five counties and entering a state of war with the Chu State, and it was time to attack the Chu State with all his might, Lu Zhe turned around and continued to beat Bai Yue on the ground for a while, during which he also took the Changsha County that Bai Yue snatched from the local force Wu Rui, and once again swallowed Wu Rui's force without saying a word, and then became a prince with six counties.

In the following year, the time was a little calmer, and at that time, Lu Zhe did something that no one knew too well, that is, to shelter Wei and Korea, which were driven out of the Central Plains by the Qin army.

To tell the truth, it is surprising enough that Lü Zhe, who owned six counties as a territory, was only willing to become a prince and did not establish himself as king, and the judgment of the nations, including Qin, that Lü Zhe did not have much ambition, as evidenced by Lü Zhe's protection of the weak Wei and Korea.

Gradually, Lü Zhe became a prince who controlled the eight counties, and the relationship with the state of Chu was finally stable, as if to thank Lü Zhe for letting go of the relationship, the state of Chu proposed the construction of the king more than once, and the follower Wei Han also strongly agreed, but at this point there was still no sign of being the king.

According to the current concept, having strength and not being the king means that there is no ambition, this is the conclusion from the fact that the countries in history have a little strength and are called kings, Chu, Wei, Han, and Zhao are all willing to be kings with Lu Zhe, that is, these four countries recognize Lu Zhe's strength, and the established rule after the collapse of the Zhou royal family is that there is nothing wrong with calling the king when several countries recognize it, but it has been repeatedly rejected by Lu Zhe.

Take a look, there are four countries that recognize that Lu Zhe has the strength to be king, and the rest of the countries are silent and have no objections, all of them are like this, Lu Zhe is still unwilling, so what is it that Lu Zhe has no ambition? Especially under the premise that Lu Zhe has not removed the "Qin" military flag during that period, the more Lu Zhe does not claim to be the king, the more he shows the mentality of being in a corner of peace, and other countries also judge it this way.

"Indeed, no matter what the current situation is, my king has always been unwilling to be an enemy of Qin." Gongwei is not talking nonsense with his eyes open, their group of people who followed Lu Zhe's rise from Yiling have proposed to replace the military flag more than once, but they have all been refused, and the same is true for the king.

"Yes, even now, the Han army entered Qin to help the war, not to invade." This is the most tangled and headache for Fusu, he can't believe that this is not a premeditated conspiracy, and the reward of Lu Zhe's insistence on not taking the initiative to attack the Qin State has also appeared, isn't there now so many factions vying to take refuge in the past?

Not only did Fusu think so, but Gongwei and others, who had never understood Lu Zhe's methods before, only came to their senses when the old Qin people, Wang clan, Xu clan and other factions of the Qin State got closer, thinking that this was the plan that Lu Zhe had been carrying out all along.

God knows if Lu Zhe thought that way at first, but insisting on it did get an unimaginable reward, so the more unclear it was, the more undetectable it was, the more everyone felt that Lu Zhe's mind was unpredictable, and there was an inexplicable sense of mystery and convincing.

Fusu is one of the people who keeps wondering how Lu Zhe got to this point in nearly seven years, but like many people, the result of his research is that Lu Zhe has no routines in his actions, and there are quite a few things that are inexplicable.

However, it is useless to talk so much now, no matter how much research you do, you can't change the facts, and the most important thing is to focus on the present.

"Huh?" Gongwei was slightly stunned, he suspected that he had heard something wrong just now, and after being stunned, he asked, "......What does Your Highness mean?" ”

Fusu signaled that the lieutenant had heard correctly, but he did not repeat it. (To be continued......)
