Chapter 407: Revision Plan (3)
Gao Yuan and Zhang Liang discussed for another night, and finally reformulated a new plan and agreed on some details. Gao Yuan then borrowed 1,000 eridium gold from Tian Kezhang and handed it to Zhang Liang for him to use as funds for his activities in Yingchuan.
If you want to oppose the Qin uprising, of course, money is indispensable, and having sufficient funds in hand can also strengthen Zhang Liang's right to speak among the Korean clans, so that he can persuade the Korean clans not to act in a hurry this time, and at the same time express Gao Yuan's support for the restoration of Korea.
After receiving the gold given by the plateau, Zhang Liang was also very grateful, so he swore to the sky again that he would do his best to help the plateau achieve great things, and then he resigned to Gao Yuan and rushed to Yingchuan.
The two were separated in Taoyi, Zhang Liang rushed to Yingchuan, and after the plateau planned to talk with Tian Kezang, he immediately caught up with the brigade and returned to Daijun together. But now the situation has changed, so Gao Yuan immediately returned to Guiling, met with Yuan Xuan and Wei Zeng, and wanted to rearrange the affairs of Wei. Because according to the new plan, the weight of the Wei State has increased again, and it needs to be rearranged.
After Gao Yuan returned to Guiling, Yuan Xuan and Wei Zeng were also quite surprised, but after listening to Gao Yuan's explanation, they were also relieved.
Of course, Gao Yuan would not tell the matter of Jing Ke's assassination of Qin, but only said that after he negotiated with Tian Kezang, he thought that in the next two or three years, there would be great changes in Qin, and he reached a new cooperation agreement with Tian Kezang. Therefore, even after the Wei State is destroyed by the Qin State now, there is a chance to restore the country in the future, and it is necessary to send some personnel to the Wei State to lurk and prepare for the restoration of the Wei State in the future. Let Wei Zeng select a group of loyal and reliable personnel from the Wei army, let them return to Wei to hide, and give them some activity funds, and then gradually hide weapons, and wait for the future form to change, and launch mutations.
Wei Zeng, of course, praised Gao Yuan's decision, and said that he would do his best to handle this matter. And Gao Yuan told Wei Zhuang about some selection of personnel, and how to lurk the key points, and first do not enter the girder, first settle outside the girder, and then slowly mix into the girder, so that no one will be suspicious, and Wei Zeng immediately arranged according to the requirements of the plateau.
In this way, it is almost a foregone conclusion that the plateau will return to Daliang to garrison again, so the plateau has also made some arrangements for the preparation of Guiling, first of all, of course, to strengthen the city defense of Guiling and make long-term plans.
In addition, the plateau also bought a number of ships from Tian Kezang, because the Qin army attacked Wei again, it will inevitably irrigate the beam, so the warship will be an indispensable combat weapon, so in Guiling, the ship will be transformed, and it will be changed into a warship that can be used for water warfare, and at the same time, a group of boatmen will be trained to prepare for the rescue of the beam again in the future.
After assigning these things, Gao Yuan left Guiling and chased after the brigade.
Although it was delayed for two days, because the team dragged their families and horses, they did not walk quickly, and the plateau group was full of cavalry, so it only took them one day to catch up with the team.
After meeting with the team, Gao Yuan also told Jiang Huanwu the results of his negotiations with Zhang Liang, including Tai Xiaodan's plan to assassinate Qin Wangzheng, after all, at this point, these things can no longer be hidden.
After listening to Gao Yuan's words, Jiang Huanwu was also taken aback, he didn't expect that Prince Dan was not obvious, and he was secretly planning such a major event that was enough to cause a sensation in the world. However, this is indeed a great opportunity for Daijun, and if it is fully utilized, it can completely offset the lack of failure to use Wei to weaken the strength of Qin this time. And the anti-Qin clans of Zhao, Wei and Han can indeed share a lot of the pressure of the Qin State for Daijun, so this is indeed good news.
So the two also urged the army personnel to step up their walking, and strive to return to Daijun as soon as possible and arrange as soon as possible.
However, the brigade carried a large number of people, although before setting out, the plateau had made relatively full preparations, and specially prepared more than 2,000 cars for the old, weak, sick and young to ride, but the people were not soldiers after all, so they could only walk thirty or forty miles every day.
After walking for more than ten days in a row, the brigade came to the bank of the Yellow River on the border of Qiyan, and at this time, the greeting people from Daijun also rushed to the other side of the Yellow River. The leader of the army will be Zhong Sun Qi.
Seeing that reinforcements were coming, everyone was also very happy, which showed that the road to Yan had been opened, and there was basically no obstacle to returning to Daijun.
Gao Yuan first crossed the Yellow River and met with Zhongsun Qi, only to learn from Zhong Sun Qi about the battle between the Dai army and the Yan army.
Originally, King Yan thought that the current garrison of Daijun was empty, so he ignored the dissuasion of Tai Yudan and some ministers, collected 100,000 troops, and launched an attack on Shanggu County in Daijun.
The government of Daijun really did not expect that the Yan State would suddenly launch an attack on Shanggu County, although the two sides fought a battle two years ago, and the Yan State was defeated, but that battle was first provoked by the Yan State, and now the two sides of the Dai Yan State have formed an alliance to fight against Qin, and the survival of the Dai County is actually for the Yan State to block the Qin army in the southwest. Therefore, there was no reason for Yan Guo to betray this alliance at all. And Daijun did have some underpreparations.
Sima Shang, the main general guarding Shanggu County, went to Hongshangsai to refuse to defend the Qin army, and the Weicai Army and Xiongjie Army of the Shanggu Army were also brought to Hongshangsai by Sima Shang, so the only defenders who remained in Shanggu County were the newly formed brave army, and the main general was the veteran Huang Chong.
Fortunately, Huang Chong had been on the battlefield for a long time, and after learning that the Yan army had attacked Shanggu County, Huang Chong did not panic, and sent people to Daijun for help on the one hand, and organized the defense of Shanggu City on the other, and mobilized the people of the whole city to assist the Dai army in defending the city.
Gao Yuan has been in charge of Daijun for three years, because of the proper governance, the tax and levy are not high, and encourage the people to develop production, open up wasteland and cultivate land, so the people have a strong sense of identity with Daijun, plus most of the people have experience in the army, so after Huang Chong gave the order, the people also took active action to help the army defend the city.
As a result, the Yan army slaughtered in front of Shanggu City with great momentum, and attacked it for five days in a row, but not only did not capture Shanggu City, but killed nearly 10,000 soldiers.
The Yan army was not a strong army in the first place, but it was thought that Daijun was empty and easy to pick up, so he killed it in a hurry.
At this moment, Li Yinghong had already led an army of 30,000 to rescue Shanggu County.
Because now the Qin army is approaching Hongshangsai, the Dai army stationed in Hongshangsai can only draw out the Wei cavalry army to rescue Shanggu County, and Li Yinghong has drawn 5,000 infantry troops from the defenders stationed in Daijun, and the rest of the 20,000 troops are recruited from the people. And it is indeed not easy to collect 30,000 troops in five days, of course, Li Yinghong did not forget it, and brought the female army with him.
Li Yinghong led the army to Shanggu County, and immediately led the army to attack the Yan army, and this time it was also after the establishment of the women's army, the first to go into battle, led by Li Yinghong himself, and paid the responsibility for the frontal attack.
Originally, when Yan Jun saw that it was a group of female soldiers who came up, he was very surprised at first, but he immediately despised the Dai Army, thinking that Dai Jun was indeed empty of garrisons, and could only recruit women to fight and defeat such an army, wouldn't it be easy!
As soon as the two sides fought, Yan Jun realized that he was very wrong. This women's army is an all-cavalry army, which is basically composed of young and middle-aged women of the steppe nomads, and their ability to ride horses and shoot arrows is not inferior to that of men. First of all, facing the Yan army was a rain of arrows, killing and wounding the Yan army, and then the female soldiers rode into the Yan army's formation, slashing and stabbing the guns, only to kill the Yan army one after another and fell to the ground.
Yan Jun never expected that these women would be so powerful, they were not weaker than men in the fight, and even more ruthless than men, plus they were completely unprepared psychologically, so they were killed by this female army.
And the other generations of soldiers have also come up one after another, and the excellent performance of the female army has also greatly stimulated the other generation soldiers, because the battlefield is originally a man's world, how can he lose to a woman? Therefore, they all fought harder, and they were three points more brave than usual.
Originally, the Yan army could not attack the city, the spirit was exhausted, and the morale was low, and the new force of the Dai army was killed, not only the women were brave and good at fighting, but the men were even more stimulated by the women, just like playing chicken blood, and the courage was incomparable, although the number of the Yan army was large, but it was also able to resist, and was suddenly killed and wounded by the Dai army, and scattered and fled on the battlefield.
And Huang Chong saw that the reinforcements arrived, and immediately led the army out of the city, but the two ways were flanked, and the Yan army was defeated, the corpses were all over the field, and the blood flowed into a canal.
In the end, the Yan army fled to Juyong Seri until it was safe. However, at this time, there were less than 10,000 Yan soldiers left, and the road from Shanggu County to Juyongsai was full of Yan soldiers' corpses. Some soldiers were killed by the pursuing agents, and some were killed on the road.
In this battle, the Dai army killed more than 40,000 Yan soldiers and captured nearly 20,000 prisoners, and the rest of the Yan army fled from the battlefield, while the Dai army itself killed less than 1,000 soldiers.
A few days later, Li Yinghong led the Dai army and killed until Juyong went to the camp, while the Yan army just hid in the city and did not dare to go out of the city to face the battle.
In fact, Li Yinghong did not want to attack Juyongsai, but received a letter from the plateau, knowing that the plateau led a large number of Wei people to return, and asked Li Yinghong to send troops to respond, so Li Yinghong led the army to the front of Juyongsai.
However, Li Yinghong also knew in his heart that the attacking power of the Dai army was not strong, and this time there was no siege equipment, so he did not order the siege, but stationed Dazhai in front of the fortress, and sent soldiers to challenge the Yan army every day, forcing the Yan army not to dare to go out of the fortress to face the battle, and then ordered Zhong Sunqi to lead a cavalry army to the bank of the Yellow River to meet the return of the plateau.
