Chapter 870: Regrouping (1)
"How's Hehua?"
"It's still like that, hiding alone in the room, no one wants to see her, just saying that we want to be alone for a while, so that we don't bother her during this time."
"What can I do? Hehua won't have an accident. ”
"Forget it, we can't help her this time, it's something that Hehua has to face, and she can only survive on her own."
"What did the husband say? Hehua has been miserable enough, we can't leave her alone. ”
Gao Yuan smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said, "I don't want to see her like this, but this time we really can't do it." ”
Chun Yu Zhongxiu said: "Husband is right, but the current situation is getting worse and worse, if Hehua is sluggish again, it will be too bad for us." ”
Gao Yuan glanced at the room again and said, "I believe that Hehua can survive, but it will take time." Forget it, it's useless for us to stay here, should we go back first? ”
At this time, it was the sixth day since the Han army entered Handan, although Han Teng still strictly controlled Xianyang, but Xianyang was the largest city in this era after all, and it was not at all that the tens of thousands of people brought by Han Teng could control it, and it might be okay for a short time, but after a long time, no matter how strict the supervision was, it would be relaxed, so the Han intelligence officers lurking in Xianyang also began to move and transmit news to Handan.
And just today, an important news came from Xianyang, Han Teng killed all the children of Qin Wangzheng left in Xianyang. It turned out that Qin Wangzheng was dead, and Han Teng was also greatly relieved, thinking that Gao Yuan had no ability to save the situation, and in order to be able to control the Qin State conveniently, Han Teng also wanted to choose one of Qin Wangzheng's daughters to succeed Qin Wangzheng, of course, he was a puppet.
The candidate chosen by Han Teng was Fusu, because Fusu was the eldest son of Qin Wangzheng, and before Qin Wangzheng left Xianyang, he appointed Fusu as the supervisor of the country, which actually established the status of Fusu's heir, and only officially established Fusu as the crown prince. Therefore, supporting Fusu as the king of Qin is more able to convince the public, and of course, it is also more convenient for Han Teng to control the Qin State. Han Teng has been an official in the Qin State for more than ten years, although he has not had much contact with Fusu, but from all sides, Fusu is a relatively weak person, so he is not very liked by Qin Wangzheng, so he has not been able to establish Fusu as a prince, but such a person, of course, is easy to control.
What Han Teng didn't expect was that Fusu's character was weak, and he was in front of Qin Wangzheng, but in fact, Fusu still had an extremely strong side, not only refusing to succeed King Qin, but also reprimanding Han Teng angrily. In the end, he hit the wall in front of Han Teng and died, and Fusu's wife Meng Ling also committed suicide immediately.
And the death of Fusu and his wife made Han Teng furious, because in Han Teng's view, he had already controlled the overall situation of the Qin State, and all people should honestly do their own orders, although Fusu was fighting with suicide, but he disobeyed Han Teng's orders, so Han Teng killed all the daughters of Qin Wangzheng in a fit of anger.
The infiltrators of the Han Kingdom spread the news to Handan, and after He Hua learned about it, his face suddenly changed greatly, and he only said that he wanted to be alone and quiet, and then he hid in the room and did not come out, and it had been more than an hour.
Although Gao Yuan, Li Yinghong, Chunyu Zhongxiu, Yun Yao and others were worried about Hehua, they couldn't do anything at this time, and they didn't know how to comfort and help Hehua.
In fact, in the past few days, almost all the good news received by the plateau is not good, first of all, the two countries of Qi and Chu have officially announced: the Han State has betrayed the Triple Alliance, so it will send troops to conquer the Han State, and just yesterday, Wang Ben, who was stationed in Daliang, refused the envoys sent by Hehua to persuade him, saying that he would respect Xianyang and issue an order, and open the city gate of Daliang, and let the Qi army pass guò.
Now the strength of the Qin army gathered in Daliang has reached more than 400,000, and most of them are the elite army of the Qin State, which can be said to be a decisive force. If Wang Ben takes refuge in Hehua, of course, he can greatly increase the strength of the plateau side, so that the plateau has enough capital to confront the Jiuli tribe; And if Wang Ben falls to Han Teng, Han Teng's advantage will be more obvious, and the situation on the plateau will naturally be more difficult.
Therefore, both Gao Yuan and Hehua naturally could not give up Wang Ben, so the day after the death of Qin Wangzheng, Hehua sent a weak dun as an envoy to Daliang to persuade Wang Ben to join Hehua and avenge Qin Wangzheng.
Of course, Gao Yuan knew that Wang Ben counted Wang Qian's death directly on his head, but Wang Ben was loyal to Qin, so he recruited Wang Ben in the name of Hehua, and used revenge for Qin Wangzheng to impress Wang Ben, and at the same time, Gao Yuan also told him that he was weak, and he could say to Wang Ben that he was still forced by the situation and had to do nothing about it, and when he defeated Han Teng, recovered Xianyang, and avenged Qin Wangzheng, he would immediately betray the alliance and become an enemy of Han.
But Gao Yuan and Hehua thought of Wang Ben, and Han Teng also thought of it, and the envoys sent by both sides arrived in Daliang almost at the same time to lobby Wang Ben. Wang Ben is indeed loyal to Qin Wangzheng and Qin State, if Qin Wangzheng is alive, as long as he gives an order, even if it is an alliance between Qin and Han, Wang Ben does not dare to object, but now Qin Wangzheng is dead, and Hehua, who represents Qin Wangzheng, is only the princess of Qin, although Wang Ben also respects Hehua very much, but in Wang Ben's heart, a girl is not the object of direct loyalty.
Moreover, Weak Dun couldn't come up with evidence that Han Teng was the mastermind to kill Qin Wangzheng, and the envoys sent by Han Teng also bit back, accusing Qin Wangzheng's entourage of colluding with Gao Yuan and killing Qin Wangzheng, making it difficult for Weak Ton to tell the difference.
Fortunately, Wang Ben didn't believe this, he still trusted Li Si, Wei Yi, Weak Dun and other ministers, but the mentality of avenging his father Wang Jian still prevailed, which affected Wang Ben's choice. Therefore, Wang Ben proposed to the weak ton that he would never surrender to the Han State, so if Hehua could completely break off the alliance with the Han State, he could take refuge in Hehua.
Of course, he knew that without the support of the Han State, even if Wang Ben led the 400,000 troops to surrender to Hehua, it would be useless, because now neither Hehua nor Wang Ben had enough base and could not afford to raise four or five hundred thousand troops. Therefore, Wang Ben's mention can only be rejected. However, Wang Ben was still merciful to his subordinates, and did not embarrass the weak ton, and let the weak ton leave Daliang and return to Handan, but chose to take refuge in Han Teng.
And in this way, the difference in strength between the two sides will be even greater, if it weren't for the fact that Gao Yuan had come up with a plan to deal with the Jiuli tribe, this battle would not have to be fought at all, and it would definitely be lost. It's just that Plateau's plan still needs Hehua's full cooperation, and now Hehua's spirit is not high, and Plateau has no choice but to hope that Hehua can recover as soon as possible.
Of course, this period of time is not completely without good news, the Han army has entered the city of nearly 100,000 troops, and fully took over the city defense of Handan City, and after a few days of adjustment, coupled with the plateau, Hehua's best efforts to pacify, the Qin army's military spirit has gradually settled down, and there is no chaos, between the Han and Qin armies, there is no contradiction, but now the morale of the Qin army is still not high, the soldiers are languishing, and they can't fight at all. And if you want to boost the morale of the Qin army, you still need Hehua, but now that Hehua is in a state, Gao Yuan really doesn't want to increase the pressure on Hehua.
At this moment, someone came to report to the plateau that the Han army that had been stationed in Daliang had withdrawn to Lingshou.
It turned out that before Gao Yuan formed an alliance with Qin Wangzheng again, he had ordered the Han army stationed in Daliang to return to Lingshou in the name of assisting in the attack on Handan, and although the Jiuli tribe had already controlled the Qi army, because they still expected Gao Yuan to capture Handan and kill Qin Wangzheng, they did not embarrass this group of Han troops, let the Han army leave Dazhai in Daliang, and also let the Han army take away all the equipment, including forty lightning vehicles.
Although there are not many Han troops stationed in Daliang on the plateau, only more than 30,000 people, but this group of troops withdrew to Lingshou, and finally they can strengthen their own strength and strengthen their own chances of winning.
With these forty lightning strike vehicles, the probability of holding Handan can naturally increase by a few points, and whether or not Handan can be moved is also an important part of the plan formulated by the plateau.
Since the plateau came up with a plan to deal with, began to strengthen the city defense of Handan, Handan was originally one of the few fortified cities in the world, and since the Mengwu garrison Handan, has been strengthening the city defense of Handan, in the range of 800 steps outside the city, built a large number of defensive positions, fortifications, only small forts and small villages have more than 20, each small fort can be stationed in more than two or three thousand troops, forming the core of a position outside the city. It's just that the number of Qin troops stationed in Handan is insufficient, and at most it is less than 100,000, otherwise Mengwu is not afraid of the attack of the Han army at all.
But now the Han army and the Qin army inside and outside Handan City have exceeded 400,000 people, and there are more than 100,000 reserve troops in Lingshou, so the strength is completely sufficient. And it is with the previous infrastructure that the plateau has saved a lot of things, and it is enough to make some adjustments to the part, and there is no need to build a large number of buildings, saving a lot of manpower and material resources.
Moreover, the food and materials in Handan City are also very sufficient, so Gao Yuan believes that it will not be a problem to resist the attacks of the Jiuli tribe, Qin, Qi and Chu in a short period of time and hold Handan. Otherwise, even if Gao Yuan came up with a way to deal with the Jiuli tribe, it would be useless.
So Gao Yuan immediately ordered Lingshou to transport all the lightning strike vehicles withdrawn from Daliang to Handan, preparing to resist the attack of the Jiuli tribe and the three kingdoms of Qin, Qi and Chu.
