Chapter 773: Wang Meng reinforces and merges states

After some deliberation, Murong Jun finally decided to reorganize his army according to the current situation of food shortage in Yan and the real threat of the Hua'an Legion, and ordered Murong Ke to form 50,000 powerful iron rope cavalry to deal with the real threat of the Hua'an Legion.

In this way, in the Hebei area, the main forces of the Hua'an Army and the Yan Army can be said to have launched an arms race in which you chase after me, and they are all full of strength, ready to kill each other at any time.

Of course, in addition to Jizhou, in the direction of Bingzhou, Xie Ai's army and the main army of Daiguo also launched an active arms race at the same time, especially the acting king Tuoba Shi Yikey, after being defeated by the charioteers under Xie Ai, he was very unconvinced, and with his subordinates, he actively thought about how to restrain the charioteers under Xie Ai's command, and made great efforts for it, as long as the time is ripe, Tuoba Shi Yijian will avenge this arrow.

Therefore, it is completely predictable that there will inevitably be a fierce decisive battle between the two main armies under the command of Hua'an and the coalition forces of the Yan Dynasty, which will determine the ownership of Jizhou and Bingzhou.

For this upcoming decisive battle, both sides have invested huge resources in active preparations, because, neither Hua'an nor the Yan Dynasty can afford to lose, the winner will have the qualification to dominate the world, and the loser will completely decline or even die.

Of course, Hua'an does not intend to fight against the Yan Dynasty coalition army with only the two men and horses under his command, and Wang Meng's main army in the direction of Guanzhong can reinforce Hebei at any time, as long as the more than 100,000 cavalry of Wang Meng's army enters Hebei, whether it is to reinforce Xie Ai's department or to reinforce Hua'an's headquarters. The coalition forces of the Yan Dynasty could not withstand such tremendous pressure, so the balance of strength was fully tilted in favor of Hua'an.

####

Of course, in addition to Hua'an and Yan Dynasty, the Jingzhou Legion and Yangzhou Legion in the south are also two forces to be reckoned with.

Now, the Jingzhou Legion, under the leadership of Huan Wen, is conquering the Jiaozhou and Ningzhou areas, while the Yangzhou Legion, under the leadership of Yin Hao, is going north to conquer Yao Xiang, Zhang Yu, Wei Tong and other generals who did not obey the orders after being attached to the Great Jin Dynasty.

Liangzhou, which has just been recovered by Wang Meng. Rebellions also occur from time to time. Under the suppression of Song Ming, it is relatively stable.

At this time, there are only two more stable areas, Shuzhong and Guanzhong. Of course. In the southern part of Shuzhong. It's not too stable, and Guanzhong is the most stable, which is all governed by Wang Meng. If it weren't for Wang Meng's efforts, the direction of Guanzhong would not be so stable and prosperous.

After the direction of Liangzhou gradually stabilized, Wang Meng withdrew the 30,000 cavalry stationed in Guzang, thus handing over all the defense of Liangzhou to the Song Chao and Song Cheng brothers, and told the two that they must stabilize the shape of Liangzhou, of course, after Wang Meng's reforms, most of the scholars and ordinary people in Liangzhou have benefited, therefore, the vast majority of people are willing to join Hua'an, and there are not many scholars and people with a rebellious heart, therefore, Wang Meng is not worried that there will be too much turmoil in Liangzhou, besides, Liangzhou is not far from Guanzhong, and the large number of talents and meticulous workers left behind will closely monitor all the situations in Liangzhou, as long as there is an accident, Wang Meng's main army, within a few days, can reach the city of Guzang, so as to solve the crisis in Liangzhou.

In the spring of the second year, the situation in the direction of Liangzhou began to improve in an all-round way, and the 100,000 Guanzhong cavalry that Wang Meng was responsible for training also formed a strong combat effectiveness, and as long as Wang Meng gave an order, he could quickly go to the battlefield.

At this time, the Hua'an headquarters army and the army under Xie Ai were also all ready, ready to launch a surprise attack on the two countries of the Yan Dynasty at any time.

In order to increase the chances of victory, Hua'an sent henchmen to Guanzhong and let Wang Mengqin lead the main army into Hebei to reinforce the battlefield in Hebei and put great strategic pressure on the Yan Dynasty coalition army.

In the cavalry camp outside Chang'an City, Wang Meng was accompanied by his generals, visiting the training of the cavalry, seeing that the training level of the soldiers was gradually improving, Wang Meng nodded with great satisfaction, and said softly: "With such cavalry, in the world, who can stop me Wang Meng, haha!" He laughed.

"General, the 100,000 cavalry of our army have been trained for nearly a year, which is enough to match the elite cavalry of the Hu people, but it is hateful that there is no chance to show their skills." The general said regretfully.

Wang Meng smiled and said loudly: "Who said that there is no chance to show their skills, according to the detailed report, the army under the command of Wang Shang and General Xie is in full swing with the Yan Dynasty coalition army, if our more than 100,000 troops go out of Tongguan and suddenly reinforce Hebei, what do you say?" After speaking, he looked at the general.

When the general heard this, he hugged his fists and said: "General, if the main force of our army can reinforce Hebei, it will definitely be able to show its skills, Murong Jun and Tuoba Shiyi will never have any chance of winning, and victory must belong to our army." ”

"Hahaha! That's natural, as soon as our army comes out, neither Murong Jun nor Tuoba Shi Yijian can withstand this huge pressure. Wang Meng chuckled softly.

The general nodded, hugged his fists and said: "General, now that the battle of Hebei is imminent, our army should immediately prepare and ask the king for orders to reinforce Hebei." ”

"Report, general, the king has an urgent letter." At this moment, a junior colonel rushed over and handed over Hua An's handwritten letter to Wang Meng.

Wang Meng smiled, took the letter, looked at the general, and said softly: "Why do you need me to ask for my life, the king's order has already come." As he spoke, he opened the letter.

The content of the letter was consistent with Wang Meng's prediction, and it was indeed Hua'an's order to ask Wang Meng's army to reinforce Hebei.

"General, the king really ordered our army to reinforce Hebei." The general asked with some suspicion, after all, Wang Meng hadn't read the letter yet, how could he guess so accurately.

Wang Meng nodded and said loudly: "Pass the order, the whole army will immediately start preparations, and the troops will leave Tongguan early the morning after tomorrow." ”

"Yes, General." The general answered, and then went to give the order.

After giving the order, Wang Meng immediately returned to the Thorn History Mansion in Chang'an City, summoned the officials in the direction of Guanzhong, and told them that he was about to lead the army out of Tongguan, so that they must do their best to govern Guanzhong, and must not fish the people, if there is any violation, after he returns to Guanzhong, he will definitely make every effort to rectify it.

All the officials in Chang'an City were afraid of Wang Meng's power, and for this reason, they all agreed resignedly, saying that they would do their best to do things for the people and live up to Wang Meng's entrustment.

After arranging the big and small officials, Wang Meng summoned the generals of the remaining legions, so that they must go all out to guard Guanzhong, and train more in peacetime, once there is a foreign invasion, the enemy army is weak, then resolutely counterattack, the enemy army is strong, then rely on the favorable terrain to defend, at least Chang'an and other cities must not be lost, of course, now, Liangzhou has been attached, around Guanzhong, there is no longer any force, can have the strength of large-scale invasion of Guanzhong, therefore, Wang Meng invasion of foreign enemies, is not particularly worried.

After all the things in the direction of Guanzhong were explained, Wang Meng began to convene the generals of the main army under his command to study the direction of the army's attack after the troops left Tongguan. It can be pinched with Hua'an's main army, thus forming an irreversible advantage.

Wang Meng told his generals the truth, and all the generals thought it was feasible, but some generals were worried that this was a violation of Hua'an's orders, but Wang Meng refused on the grounds that the general's order was not subject to the king's order, and he thought that defeating the enemy army was the most important thing, and immediately sent his henchmen to Yecheng to report his decision to Hua'an.

Early in the morning of the third day, all the qiē were ready, and Wang Meng personally led 100,000 cavalry in Guanzhong, leaving the direction of Chang'an City and rushing towards Tongguan.

In order to save capacity, all the transport ships in Weishui were used to transport grain, grass and baggage, while the 100,000 troops all traveled by land and along Weishui in order to get supplies.

Wang Meng and the 100,000 cavalry under his command, can be said to march at full speed, a few days later to Tongguan, in the direction of Tongguan, Wang Meng let the army under his command for a short rest, two days later, leave Tongguan, cross the Yellow River north into Bingzhou, and along the route of Xie Ai's march to Jinyang City, in order to reinforce Xie Ai's army.

Wang Meng's soldiers are crossing the Yellow River one after another, while Wang Meng and several generals are standing on the south bank of the Yellow River, looking at the north bank across the Yellow River, watching the army under his command enter the land of Bingzhou step by step.

"General, the other side of the Yellow River is the annex of the state, after crossing the river, you can arrive at Jinyang City in ten days at most, and join the soldiers and horses under General Xie." A ministry general said.

Wang Meng shook his head lightly, and said: "After our army advances north, we can station in Liangshan in the west of Jinyang City, just tell General Xie that our army has arrived, and there is no need to enter Jinyang City." ”

"The general's meaning is to hide it secretly, so that the Dai Guo army does not know about the existence of our army, so as to relax its vigilance, so as to facilitate our army's surprise attack on the flank of the Dai army?" The general immediately understood Wang Meng's intentions.

Wang Meng nodded and said softly: "The area of Liangshan is remote, as long as our army is stationed separately, the Daiguo scouts will not notice, even if it is discovered, with the help of the cover of the mountain, the Daiguo army will not be able to know the specific strength of our army, so it will be of great benefit to our army." ”

When the generals heard this, they all nodded in approval.

"Report, general, the king has an urgent letter." Just then, Huaan's letter arrived again.

Wang Meng took the letter with a smile, looked at the generals, and said softly: "The king must have agreed with the general's construction." After saying that, he opened the letter and glanced at it.

The result was naturally as Wang Meng expected, Hua'an agreed to Wang Meng's reinforcement plan, and praised Wang Meng for his thoughtfulness and meticulousness. (To be continued......)
