Chapter 845: Diversion to Handan (I)
Just when the plateau quietly returned to Lingshou, the envoys of the Qin State also came to Nanyang, Han Teng's station, and sent an order to Han Teng, ordering him to immediately lead 50,000 troops from Nanyang and rush to Daliang to help in the battle.
It turned out that after Qin Wangzheng received Wang Ben's urgency, he decided to rush to Daliang to supervise the battle in person, and on the other hand, he transferred troops from all walks of life to reinforce Daliang, but now there are not many elite soldiers in Qin, so the reinforcements sent to Daliang are basically collected from the people, although the people of Qin are much stronger than other countries, but in the face of the Han army as the leading army, Qin Wangzheng did not dare to be careless, and at this time Qin also stationed a part of the elite army in Nanyang and Handan, all of which were about eighty or ninety thousand, Naturally, these two elite armies cannot be left idle.
However, the Qin State did not think that the Chu and Han countries would march from the north and south to attack the Qin State, but now the Qin State has fully believed that the main force of the combined column army is concentrated in front of Daliang City, even if the Chu and Han countries march from the north and south, it must be a containment nature, and the number of troops will not be too much, so leaving more than 100,000 troops in these two places to garrison is really too wasteful, and it is completely possible to draw a part of the army from each of the two places and rush to Daliang to help the war.
Of course, there is also a difference between Nanyang and Handan, in the eyes of Qin, Chu's military strength is not strong, and it may not dare to attack Nanyang, so it was decided to transfer half of the army from Nanyang, and at the same time, Han Teng was also transferred to Daliang to participate in the war. The situation in Handan was more complicated, Qin did not despise the Han State, and decided to only transfer 30,000 troops from Handan, and still left Meng Wu and Meng Tian's father and son in Handan to garrison.
After receiving Qin Wangzheng's order, Han Teng immediately set down a feast, entertained the envoys, and assured the envoys that he would definitely send troops from Nanyang immediately, although he rushed to Daliang to participate in the war, and asked the envoys to go back to Qin Wangzheng first, and asked Qin Wangzheng to rest assured. The envoy did not suspect it, so after resting in Nanyang for the night, he immediately returned to Xianyang.
After the envoy left, Han Teng immediately ordered to gather the five god generals and the ten no generals to discuss.
During this period of time, all the generals under Han Teng were very excited, because now the Hezong army and the Qin army were basically proceeding according to expectations, and the success of the Jiuli clan's plan was in sight, so everyone was grinding their fists and preparing to do a big job.
After listening to Han Teng's finished speaking of the envoy of the Qin State, everyone immediately discussed, some advocated doing it immediately, and some people thought that they should wait a little longer to wait for a better time.
After discussing for a while, everyone gradually quieted down, and then Ji Wuzhi came out and said, "Lord, has Qin Wangzheng left Xianyang now?" ”
Han Teng nodded and said, "Two days ago, we received the news that Qin Wang Zheng had set off from Xianyang, accompanied by about 70,000 troops, accompanied by Li Si, Wei Yi, Dun Weak, Meng Yi and other ministers, and now even if he didn't reach Hangu Pass, it would not be much worse." ”
Ji Wuzhi's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked again: "So what about the plateau now, is it still in Daliang?" ”
Han Teng said: "I just received the news from Daliang this morning, Gao Yuan has left Da Liang's Hezong Army Dazhai and returned to Lingshou, now at this time, it should have reached Lingshou, but our intelligence organization in Lingshou is limited, and the message transmission is very inconvenient, so I don't know what the current situation of Lingshou is, when will Gao Yuan be able to send troops from Lingshou." ”
Ji Wuzhi also frowned, and said: "This is really not very easy to do, because after Gao Yuan participated in the Triple Alliance, he has not returned to Lingshou, so it is really difficult to judge how Lingshou is prepared, but if we don't know the detailed news of Gao Yuan's dispatch from Lingshou, it will bring great variables to our actions, and we can only take a risk." ”
At this time, Shui Xinyue said: "Gao Yuan is a person, with delicate thoughts, far-reaching vision, and has always been thoughtful and detailed, so although he left Lingshou early and participated in the Triple Alliance, he must have arranged a qiē in Lingshou City, and there are many capable people under Gao Yuan, even if he is not in Lingshou, the ministers will definitely be able to handle Lingshou's affairs well, and as soon as Gao Yuan returns to Lingshou, he will definitely send troops immediately, and he will never drag it out for too long." ”
Huo Lieyang said: "Shui Xinyue, are you overestimating the plateau, no matter how strong the plateau's ability is, it is impossible to anticipate everything." ”
Shui Xinyue snorted and said, "Believe it or not, this is my opinion anyway." ”
Han Teng said: "Okay, don't underestimate the plateau, we estimate that Shui Xinyue is reasonable, just as soon as the plateau returns to Lingshou, we will immediately send troops to attack Handan." ”
It turned out that among the group of people under Han Teng, only Shui Xinyue and Gao Yuan had been together for a while, so her understanding of Gao Yuan was also above others, and Shui Xinyue's knowledge and vision were definitely first-class.
In addition, judging from the tactics of attacking Qin formulated by the plateau, it is actually to use the Qi army to attract the Qin army's infusion force in Daliang, and then take advantage of the weakness to march from the north and south to attack the Qin state. Although this plan is ingenious, it is not without risks, that is, whether the Qi army can resist the Qin army in a short period of time, if the Qi army is defeated at one touch, the plateau is useless even if it captures Handan, so the plateau does not hesitate to spare no effort to help the Qi army improve its combat effectiveness, that is, I hope that the Qi army can hold out for a long time in Daliang, and from the perspective of the battle situation in the previous period, the hard work of the plateau has still reached the goal.
But the Qi army is not a Han army after all, and the Qi army cannot be expected to be able to confront the Qin army in Daliang for a long time, so the plateau must seize the time and capture Handan as much as possible.
But Ji Wuzhi said with a smile: "If Gao Yuan has really sent troops from Lingshou, then it can't be better, it is really a great achievement of the Lord of God." ”
Han Teng was also a little strange, and said, "Ji Wuzhi, how can this be seen?" ”
Ji Wuzhi said: "My lord, please think about it, now that Qin Wangzheng has sent out of Hangu Pass, and the plateau has sent a large army to attack Handan, if Qin Wangzheng learns the news on the way, then please think, how will Qin Wangzheng decide, will he continue to enter Daliang?" ”
Mu Tuoshan immediately said: "No, Qin Wangzheng will never go to Daliang again, but will immediately change his route and go to Handan." ”
Tuxing Sun said: "Why did Qin Wangzheng not go to Daliang, but to Handan?" If you want to say that it is critical, isn't the girder also critical? ”
Mu Tuoshan said with a smile: "Although the Great Liang is in crisis, there are also two or three hundred thousand troops stationed, and Qin Wangzheng has just issued an edict to transfer 30,000 troops from Handan to aid the Great Liang, and now the defenders of Handan are probably less than sixty thousand, if the Han army really attacks Handan with all its might, then Handan will not be able to hold it at all, and if Handan is lost, the flank of the Great Liang is unstable, if the Chu army attacks from the south again, then the Qin State will be defeated, and the Han army will attack Handan, then the Liang side must be a feint, and there is no need to worry, Qin Wangzheng is still a very shrewd person, will not fail to understand this truth, so Qin Wangzheng will definitely immediately change his route and go to reinforce Handan. ”
Ji Wuzhi said with a smile: "What Master Mu said is right, Qin Wangzheng will definitely change his route to reinforce Handan, so after Qin Wangzheng arrives in Handan, will he be able to hold Handan again?" ”
Everyone was stunned by this question, because most of the ** people present were not very proficient in the art of war, so no one could answer, and after a while, Shui Xinyue said: "I think that even if Qin Wangzheng arrives in Handan, the Qin army still can't hold Handan." ”
And Cao Wushu also immediately said: "I also think that the plateau will definitely be able to capture Handan." ”
Shui Xinyue is optimistic about the plateau, so that it does not surprise others, but Cao Wuxian is the most proficient in the art of war in this group of people, and he is also optimistic about the plateau, which is very revealing.
At this time, Ji Wuzhi turned to Han Teng and said with a smile: "What does the lord think? After snuggling, shouldn't we help the plateau? ”
Han Teng couldn't help laughing, because he had fully understood the meaning of Ji Wuzhi, this time Han Teng's plan was to take the opportunity of the Three Kingdoms to attack Qin and take things from it, it was best to combine the army and the Qin army to lose both, or one side won a miserable victory, so that Han Teng and the Jiuli clan could take advantage of it and reap the benefits, and even when he knew that Qin Wangzheng was going to Daliang to supervise the battle, Han Teng planned to kill Qin Wangzheng in Daliang, and then return to Xianyang, control the Qin State, and concentrate on attaching the plateau, but in this way, Han Teng became the one who killed the king, which is not good for the control of the Qin State.
And if Qin Wangzheng changed his route to Handan halfway, then there would be nothing to do with Han Teng, because Qin Wangzheng's death could be pushed to the plateau, and Han Teng could also use the banner of avenging Qin Wangzheng to support a new Qin King among the princes of Qin Wangzheng, and then follow the control of Qin State. Therefore, even if the plateau can't capture Handan, Han Teng will help in secret.
The others laughed when they saw Han Teng, and some people guessed a few points, but most of them were still confused, and they didn't know why they wanted to help the plateau capture Handan.
However, Han Teng didn't bother to explain to everyone, and immediately said: "Shui Xinyue, Huo Lieyang, and Tuxingsun, the three of you will rush to Handan immediately, and together with the Sang, Tu Yong, and Jiang Li clans who have been stationed near Handan, you will act at the opportunity, if the plateau captures Handan, you should not act rashly, but wait for the opportunity, and if the plateau cannot capture Handan, you will secretly help the plateau, but you must not let Qin Wangzheng leave Handan." "Qin Wangzheng was born in Handan, and his burial place is also Handan, this may be Qin Wangzheng's life." Shui Xinyue and the others immediately said, "Yes." ”
Han Teng said again: "The matter of Nanyang will be handed over to Cao Wuxian, Xiong is not responsible, and the rest of the people will rush back to Xianyang immediately with me, we have been waiting for more than ten years, and it is finally time to dispatch." ”
