The outer city wall of Linzi City is about four zhang high, the city wall section in the west direction should be twenty miles long, and none of the other city wall sections in the other directions is less than fifteen miles long, if the whole city is from a bird's-eye view from the sky, it is not a boxy city appearance, it is an uneven specification.

The Fifth Cavalry Corps, the Second Mixed Legion, and part of the Forbidden Army went to the northern front of Jishui to fight against the coalition forces, while Lu Zhe personally took the rest of the Forbidden Army, the Third Mixed Legion, the Fourth Mixed Legion, and some of the First Cavalry Corps, with a total of more than 200,000 troops to Linzi City.

Wei Han and He Yi, the two lieutenant generals, and Wu Liang and Mei Kai of the forbidden army sequenced jointly told Han Guang and Zang Di that they did not cooperate with the Han army against the Donghu army and Chen Shengjun as they agreed, and Lu Zhe was a little confused about this.

Lu Zhe had to feel confused, the general trend of the world had been extremely clear that it was favorable to the Han State, Zang Di should also see the situation clearly from the south to the north, and then the back road of the Yan army, the Donghu army, and Chen Shengjun had been cut off, how could Han Guang choose to resist after deceiving the coalition army in place as promised?

"Are you sure that Han Guang and Zang Di have not been in contact with our people over there?"

"Back to the king, Han Guang and Zang Di did not send anyone to contact us."

What is the situation? Since Han Guang didn't plan to annex, what did it mean to leave the coalition forces in place? And it seems that after the war, the coalition army is also in a situation of overall disadvantage, and the battlefield has repeatedly confirmed that there is no other coalition army, Han Guangfang cooperated with the Han army to annihilate Donghu and subdue Chen Shengjun in exchange for a good future in the Han country, why change the hexagram temporarily?

Zhang Liang came to Lu Zhe's side later, and after listening to Lu Zhe tell his confusion, he carefully chose his words: "Great King, the actual controllers of Yan Guo are Zang Tu and Han Guang. ”

Lu Zhe immediately reacted, although Han Guang and Zang Di controlled the Yan Kingdom separately, they had been in power for almost seven years.

After a series of setbacks, Zang Di should have recognized the reality, and Han Guang has been staying in Yandi or Liaodong and the peninsula without seeing the changes in the Central Plains. Plainly. Power is a kind of poison, which can make people have a psychology of gaining and losing, and Han Guang is simply unwilling to fight at all.

Lu Zhe, who reacted back, showed a playful smile, he persuaded the Yan army to save time to defeat the coalition army, and he also coveted the tens of thousands of Liaodong heroes who had been trained, after all, the so-called "Yan Zhao Zhishi" is still good in martial arts, and how can it be used in the battle of the grassland Hu people after being absorbed. In addition, the political system of the Han State is already complicated enough, and adding officials from the original forces of the Yan State is also part of Lu Zhe's consideration for the future political system.

It was already the eighth day after the war began there that the northern line of Jishui sent information. In the military intelligence report, Wei Han and He Yi told some additional things.

Han Guang treacherously chose to resist, and Zang Tu co-opted some Yan generals on the basis of his original subordinates, wanting to leave Han Guang and act on his own; Chen Sheng sent Wu Guang to the Han army camp to negotiate the annexation of the Han army.

It is completely understandable that Zang Di left Han Guang alone, especially under the premise that the coalition forces could not see the dawn of victory after successive defeats, and Chen Sheng sent Wu Guang to rebel against the coalition forces, which made Lu Zhe a little surprised.

"King, Chen Sheng is the leader of the armed forces who has risen from the bottom, he just wants to be prosperous and rich, and it is normal to find a way out when he sees the unstoppable." Zhang Liang smiled slightly: "Liang thought that Han Guang would definitely regret it by now." It's just that he can't be treacherous, and the king will not accept his subordination. ”

But isn't it, the Han army invested in the northern line of Jishui has increased to 200,000, and the coalition forces lost their troops in a few days of battle. In the end, the number of coalition troops cowering in the camp dropped to less than 150,000, and because of the continuous defeats, the morale of the army was low, and the grain of the coalition army was less than three months at most, so it was strange that Han Guang did not regret it.

"If the king can forgive Han Guang. Sending an envoy to appease again, Han Guang must have done everything the king said. Zhang Liang didn't know what his intentions were, and said those words that were obviously built by Lu Zhe to forgive Han Guang.

Is it? Send someone to persuade Han Guang to surrender again? Lu Zhe touched his chin and didn't speak.

The back route of the coalition forces on the northern line of Jishui has been cut off. The grain of the coalition army can only be consumed for three months at most, and Zang Di and Chen Sheng have started their own actions, and now the war over there is a premise that is absolutely beneficial to the Han army, is it necessary for Lu Zhe to fight for Han Guang again?

"No!" Lu Zhe looked at Zhang Liang with a smile: "I don't mind that under the premise that the general trend of the world is clear, heroes from all walks of life come to vote, but no one is allowed to betray their trust again after agreeing." ”

Zhang Liang lowered his head slightly, and when he raised his head again, he asked cautiously, "Then what will the king do with Han Guang?" ”

Lu Zhe smiled but did not answer.

Zhang Liang paid too much attention to Han Guang, right? This is not without reason.

If Lu Zhe is not mistaken, the Xiongnu went south before there was no great chaos in the world, and those so-called people from all countries were involved in Qi, Yan, Zhao, Wei, Han, and Chu.

Which group of people first envisioned to contact the Xiongnu to go south? In fact, it is not the most hard-working Qi people in the back, those people in Qi are strongly supported because of the needs of the situation, and they are constantly introducing Donghu into the Chinese civil war. The first person to contact the Xiongnu was Han Xin, who was Han Xin, the grandson of King Ji Cangshu of Han Xiang during the Warring States Period, that is, the first person on the Korean side to start to take action.

After the remnants of Korea contacted the Hu people in the north, Chen Yu and Zhang Er of Zhao also participated, and then Yan, Wei, Chu, and Qi also took action.

So, Lu Zhe can understand why Zhang Liang pays so much attention to Han Guang, the kings of various countries are the ones who give orders, and the courtiers and those so-called celebrities are the actual operators, and they must be ventilated in the process of operation, and they will establish friendship when they come and go, so it is not impossible for Zhang Liang and Han Guang to become friends, and now it is human nature for Zhang Liang to say a few good words for Han Guang.

Lu Zhe's rise is different from many people in history, he is completely a kind of rise "outside the body", and after the rise, for various reasons...... For example, Lu Zhe opened a lot of golden fingers, so that their side of the force did not go through too many setbacks to develop to the point where it is now.

The expansion method under the leadership of Lu Zhe did not depend so much on the advice of a certain person, but on the most realistic productivity and population, and at most, as a magistrate of a certain place, governing the place had merit and obtained some merits rather than martial arts (not martial arts). Therefore, it is really difficult for Wenchen strategists to gain a wide reputation, and there is no strategist who makes Lu Zhe feel that he is inseparable, but it is a group of people who are very good at governing the local area, including logistics planning, that Lu Zhe has to rely on.

Because of this situation, Lu Zhe has a close relationship with those celebrities who have been recorded in history, but he wants to say that because of whomever and whom, he will let go of some people who can't be let go...... It's impossible.

"Come on, come on, come ......on" Lu Zhe invited Zhang Liang to go to the front of the front line together, and after regaining his footing, he pointed to Linzi City: "Sir, look at Linzi City," paused, and asked with a smile: "It's a male city, right?" ”

Zhang Liang didn't quite understand what Lu Zhe was trying to say.

Linzi City can be regarded as a male city, after all, Linzi is the existence of Qi as the national capital for hundreds of years, if there are more than 200,000 defenders stationed in it, and the defenders rely on the four-zhang high city wall and the corresponding city defense equipment, it is really not easy for the enemy to attack it.

What is the current situation in Linzi City? Before Lu Zhe personally led the army to the city, Tian An, Tian Jiao, and Tian Jian led the army to leave the city, and some Tian royal families such as Tian Dan and Tian Heng naturally fought with them. The two sides fought in Linzi City for two days, and the number of military and civilian casualties could not be counted, but in the end, Tian An, Tian Jiao, and Tian Jiao retreated to Dongcheng with more than 30,000 troops in their hands.

The moment when the vanguard of the Han army approached Linzi City, it was the most fierce moment when the Qi army loyal to the king of Qi attacked Dongcheng, and if it were not for the vanguard of more than 30,000 Han troops to join the side of the defenders of Dongcheng, it is estimated that Tian An's group of people would have been driven out of the city.

"The king now has the east of Linzi City, there are 70,000 troops in the city, and 150,000 troops outside the city will surround it on three sides," Zhang Liang bowed and saluted: "Although I don't know why the king has not ordered an attack, but if the king wants to capture Linzi......"

Why didn't Lu Zhe order the attack? Linzi City died a large number of people during the civil war of Qi, a good city with two or three hundred thousand Qiantou, after the arrival of the Han army, the remaining Qianshou in the city do not know if there are 50,000.

There are too many people in Linzi City who have become corpses scattered everywhere, although it is close to winter and does not decompose quickly in the hot summer, but the corpses will still rot after all, right?

The Han army sent someone to contact Qi Wang Dan, and proposed a temporary truce to clean up the corpses in the city, but was rejected by Qi Wang Dan, and now the entire city is emitting an amazing stench, does Lu Zhe dare to launch an attack in this environment? Instead of ordering the army to attack, he let the army occupying Dongcheng retreat outside the city, and then the army besieging Linzi built a line of defense outside the city.

"Plague," Lu Zhe looked at Zhang Liang in confusion: "How did Mr. forget this." ”

Zhang Liang smiled awkwardly. Whether he really neglected it was unknown to anyone but himself. At the same time, he has never shown the wisdom of a top strategist recorded by history in front of Lu Zhe.

Lu Zhe didn't care so much about whether Zhang Liang was deliberately clumsy or nothing, strategy has always been an auxiliary role, weak strength can support the importance of strategists, strong enough to rely on sufficient troops and materials to push hard, strategy is a kind of storage to pick up the missing and fill in the gaps, and the importance is not so strong.

"As long as you guys don't play any 'being in Cao Ying's heart in Han', I don't bother to care about it." Lu Zhe smiled on his face, but he thought so silently in his heart. (To be continued......)
