Chapter 68: Heavenly Machines (3)
In June of the first year of Kaiyuan, the Han Emperor Yang Yi personally led more than 10,000 soldiers, set up an ambush in the city, and the Wei army engaged, the Wei army commander Jia Chong saw that the war was unfavorable, and fled in fear, and the Han Emperor ordered Guan Yi to occupy Xixian and the surrounding strongholds.
The news reached the court of Wei State, the king of Wei and Jin, the general Sima Zhao in order to boost the morale of the army, ordered Jingzhou to assassinate Deng Ai to invade one or two Han cities, Deng Ai to the Han State of one heart, the combat power is flourishing, Sima Zhao then ordered the counselor Sima Lun to Xiangyang, forced Deng Ai to march.
Deng Ai could only draw 5,000 from the 15,000 Wei army and the defenders of the three eastern counties and Xiangyang City, a total of 20,000, and 50,000 to attack Shangyong County, which was occupied by the Han State.
On August 27, the first year of Kaiyuan, Deng Ai personally led the army, fought for three days and three nights, did not resist, and wanted to return.
Sima Lun forced Deng Ai to continue the war, and for two days and two nights, more than half of the 20,000 Wei troops were lost, Sima Lun ordered Wei Xing County, Shangyong County and other counties to guard, and more than 10,000 people, since the siege of the city, although Deng Ai was opposed, but was seized power by Sima Lun.
After three days and three nights, more than 10,000 people, there was not one out of ten, and Sima Lun forced the soldiers of the three eastern counties to fight for another day and night......
At that time, Li Mu, the commander of Shangyong County of the Han State, had fought for nine days and nine nights, and had reached the limit, and Sima Lun, the commander of the Wei army, was preparing to fight tomorrow and retreat.
That night, Guan Yi, the general of Han Anbei, and Luo Shang, the captain of Huqiang, would break through the Wei army's base camp with 3,000 fine cavalry, Sima Lun fled in disarray, and there were only 100 cavalry left around him, and the number of Wei army captured reached 5,000.
On September 8 of the first year of Kaiyuan, Emperor Yang Yi of the Han Dynasty ordered Zhang Muzhi, the captain of the imperial guard, to lead two thousand imperial guards to arrive in Shangyong County, and there were generals Meng Ben and general Ma Yue, each with a thousand soldiers.
Li Mu, Zhang Teng and other generals in Shangyong County were reorganized, and there were 1,500 soldiers, with a total of more than 11,000 troops, including 3,000 new soldiers, a total of 15,000 people, known as 50,000.
On September 8, the army raised its camp and attacked Weixing County, Changding Prefecture, but the Cao Wei officials of Weixing County abandoned the city and fled without resistance.
On September 10, he entered Anling County, and Anling County Shou Shen Du led 500 soldiers to surrender, and was appointed as the captain of the An Military Academy, and was incorporated into the army.
On September 20, the three counties were completely pacified, at this time, the army gathered in the three eastern counties, divided into two branches, one to the north to the south of Wei Nanxiang County, the other to the east, to the east to the Wei Xiangyang County, at this time, the news reached Wei and Wu, the world shook.
At this time, Wu State was strong at this time, and intended to go north with three routes of soldiers and horses, one directly to Xiangyang County, one to Weijiangxia County, and one to Guangling County; At this time, the internal chaos of Wei was not peaceful, and the external enemy was eyeing each other, and the people were panicking.
Yang Yi was gathering the generals in Hanzhong County at this time, except for some generals who were not allowed to return, most of the generals returned to Hanzhong County at this time and led the departments.
Hanzhong County outside the Han army camp, Yang Yi to Luo Shang as the main general, Luo Shang has been trained, and now there is a way to govern the army, only to see a fire and a tent, a team and a battalion, neat and tidy, each has a boundary, and the camp is composed of trenches, walls, fences and camp gates, and the order is clear.
The camp was full of lights, candles were lit, and the tent was full of soldiers.
The generals are all dressed in armor, and the civil officials are all dressed in civilian official clothes, and they are also full of spring, even Li Mu is full of smiles at this time, as if the strength accumulated by his family has been consumed, and he doesn't mind at all.
Everyone was chatting with each other, and suddenly the guard behind the tent raised his voice: "The Holy Lord has arrived." ”
Suddenly, the civil and military ministers hurriedly got up and saluted to greet them, the civil officials were okay, and the sound of the military generals' armor colliding was endless, only to see that Yang Yi was wearing a military uniform at this time, showing a deep and majestic appearance, and seeing the face, but he was still a son.
But how dare everyone look at it directly? Just saluted.
After seeing that all the ministers and generals saluted, Yang Yicai said with a smile: "Excuse yourself from courtesy, you have to do your best, and now you have won a series of battles, Xiangyang County and Nanxing County are just around the corner, so you can have a banquet and take a break or two. ”
The generals and ministers made promises one after another, and ate wine and meat in large gulps.
Yang Yi looked at the ministers at this time, and suddenly felt a little strange, seeing that he had captured the three eastern counties, and the territory had expanded a lot, but his cloud qi basically did not grow.
In a blink of an eye, he looked at the generals and ministers, and suddenly, Yang Yi looked at Li Xuanxiu in the corner, this is Wenchen, who is used in the Hanlin Academy, but Yang Yi expressed the credit of the Li family, although it is nine products, but also let him come to the banquet, although it is far away at this time, but it can still be seen.
In his eyes, Li Xuanxiu is still golden and yellow qi gathers but does not disperse, now in the shape of a banner, and the slightest auspicious qi hangs down from the banner, enveloping the whole body, but it seems to have changed somewhat.
After taking a closer look, I suddenly realized that although the golden qi of this banner was still very strong, it seemed to be thinner than the original, and I thought it was an illusion, so I carefully identified it.
Sure enough, I saw that the originally thick auspicious qi was already much thinner, and although the silk was still being replenished, it was also obvious that it had weakened.
In a blink of an opinion, he knew the reason, his heart shook, and he hurriedly took the wine to drink, covering his expression.
"The leyline dragon qi is also depleted and depleted!" There is a saying in Feng Shui Kanyu that "a true dragon is only a hundred years of luck".
It means that even if the earth dragon (true dragon) is strong, it can't withstand the explosion of dragon qi for a hundred years, so the qi of the earth dragon is mostly used for the first pot of gold, so that people can quickly ascend to the position and be supplemented by humane qi, rather than relying on the earth dragon, not to mention, Li Xuanxiu's earth dragon is not a real dragon-level big dragon vein.
If Li Xuanxiu can get Yang Yi's current status, then as long as his status does not fall, the anger of millions of Li people in Shu will be replenished and consumed, and there is no need to consume the qi of the earth dragon everywhere.
Now on the contrary, Li Xuanxiu is still an empty shelf, and the Li family's qi is still on the head of the family, Li Mu, and now, Li Mu is only a lieutenant of Yong County, and he is not too guarded by the main officer, and he can't get much humane qi supplement, plus this fierce defensive battle, he has to consume a lot of gas to save his life, which is only consumption is not replenished, so if it continues like this, Li Xuanxiu's luck will have obvious signs of thinning.
Of course, now that the earth dragon is still consumed, the Li family has been the lord of the Qiang people for decades, and the prestige is still there, so it is replenished at all, but what if it is like this every time? Can I still get a supplement after consumption?
Yang Yi's heart shook, and suddenly countless past events in history surfaced.
In the final analysis, there is only one thing, that is, to use strange schemes to do dangerous things, but there is not enough humanitarian foundation to supplement them.
Hundreds of years later, there is a white-robed general Chen Qingzhi, this person sent Yuan Hao to the north, from Gongxian County to Luoyang, a journey of 3,000 miles, 47 battles and 32 cities of Kewei, indomitable, can be described as invincible, Er Zhurong poured the troops of the Northern Wei Dynasty helplessly, but when crossing the river, the sudden mountain torrent ruthlessly washed away his victorious troops.
After it was relatively mediocre, in February of the first year of Datong, Chen Qingzhi attacked the Eastern Wei Dynasty, and fought with Shi Yaoxiong, the assassin of Yuzhou in the Eastern Wei Dynasty, because of the disadvantage and returned, and there was no miracle at all.
When he died, he was only fifty-six years old, but he still had to die a good death.
Win more with less, win more with odds, consume a lot of gas, if it is a reward afterwards, or if it is the master of the people, it can be supplemented by the number of thousands of people, if it is idle in peacetime, not in charge of the army and the people, and the wartime expedition is a general, no matter how much luck there is, it will be consumed cleanly, and when the big thing has been completed, a piece of paper can destroy the nine clans.
He also, the king is strong and the ministers are weak, which is also because the luck is consumed.
Only use his life, only give the generals and officials, and do not give the foundation of nourishing qi and turning life, this is the supreme true meaning of the way of power and strategy, so the stronger the monarch, the weaker the ministers, and there is no reason to do this.
Even if you have a real dragon under your hand, you can use this strategy to wipe it out, and the real dragon will become a koi in the pool.
For example, hundreds of years later, the Tang Dynasty has a general Cheng Biting Jin, which can be described as a lucky general.
If you don't know the technique of hopeful qi, or you know this unspeakable true meaning, you can't actually use it.
This method controls the ministers, and the blessing is unpredictable.
Just in the middle of thinking, suddenly, Yang Yi asked Guan Yi who was close to the left: "General Guan, now that the three counties of Changding Town have been obtained, facing the two counties, what is the way to quickly capture them?" ”
Guan Yi didn't think about it, and said with a smile: "This is Your Majesty's plan, the ministers dare to say one or two, why bother attacking the city, the enemy will flee in embarrassment, only a hundred horsemen remain, even if the people of the two counties are mobilized, it is difficult to control the situation."
The minister reads the art of war: husband war, attack the heart for the top, siege for the bottom.
Among the wounded soldiers and prisoners, many of them were from Nanxiang County, who ordered them to cry under the wall, calling their fathers and mothers, and shooting the documents in the city. ”
Speaking of this, Guan Yi stopped talking, a smile, at this time, the corners of Yang Yi's mouth appeared, Yang Yi nodded at this time and said softly: "In this three days, someone will sacrifice the city, and I can take another county!" ”
Those who heard it were all dumbfounded.
Talking and laughing, the strong enemy is wiped out!
On September 12, the Governor's Mansion of Wu Guozuo.
A young man entered the door at this time, and ran rapidly, and when he passed through a corridor, the silver crown on his head was touched by a branch and leaf sticking out, and he did not have time to straighten it.
At this time, Fan Shen was reviewing the documents, and when he heard the voice, he couldn't help but look up, this is the grandson of King Wu, and now he is listening to it here, but this prince is usually stable, but now he looks at it and wonders in his heart.
"Governor, there has been a great change in the Han and Wei countries!" Sun Yan hurried to Fan Shen and hurriedly said.
"What happened?" Fan Shen frowned and asked, Sun Yan has always had a calm bearing, why is this happening at this time?
"Governor, received a letter, the Han lord ordered the general Guan Yi to break the Wei army base camp with 3,000 horses, Sima Lun Deng Ai fled in embarrassment, only a hundred horsemen remained, the Han lord ordered the generals to lead the army to the three counties, known as 50,000, the counties of the three eastern counties of Wei have basically surrendered without a fight, and now they have directly pointed to Xiangyang County and Nanxing County of Wei State, these two counties are now a lot of defenders, but I am afraid that they are already a lonely city."
"What?" Hearing this, Fan Shen couldn't keep his composure and stood up.
"What a big deal this is, how dare I talk nonsense, I sent people to do business in Hanzhong before, they crossed the mountains and mountains, and they never rested all the way, the news will not be wrong!" Sun Yan took two breaths and continued: "Looking at this situation, the land of the three counties, which has been entangled for decades, has finally decided who it is, and Nanxiang County and Xiangyang County are also in danger. ”
"Governor, the Han and Wei countries are entangled, we can be healthy, if there is a strong enemy, they become strong, our situation will be difficult, our country should also work hard, it is better to send troops immediately, tie up the Wei army is one of them, win one or two counties, and also congratulate the country.
What's more, Xiangyang County, it is difficult for the Han Kingdom to win two counties at once, so it is better for us to take Xiangyang County. ”
Fan Shen stood up and walked back and forth in the lobby, he thought more, if Xiangyang County was captured by the Han State, then his own side would suffer from the enemy, and the counties of Jingzhou of the Han State were captured back then, so that the Han State could only attack Wei from Hanzhong, if Xiangyang County was captured by the Han State, then the Han State would not want to recapture Jingzhou?
It was like a huge dark cloud hanging over his heart, making his face extremely gloomy.
At this time, there was silence in the hall for a while, and a general said at this time: "Dudu, we were forced by the Wei State, and we couldn't draw many soldiers, if we really want to draw, at most there are only tens of thousands, since the Han State has won a big victory, known as 50,000, then there must be at least 20,000, if we have the same troops, how can we capture Xiangyang County?" ”
At this time, Sun Yan figured out the joints and knew the importance of Xiangyang County, and said angrily: "Because of this, we can't let the Han State easily defeat the Wei State, and if we are defeated, if the Han State captures Xiangyang County, and Nanxiang County is connected together, our Jingzhou departments will be attacked in the future, how can it be good?" ”
He turned around and bowed to Fan Shen: "Governor, I heard that the Han army is not sufficient, at this time, as long as the governor sends troops from Jingzhou, we can also send 20,000 to claim 50,000, coercion, when the time comes, the Xiangyang County of Wei will be firm in its resistance, if it cannot be attacked for a long time, the Han army can only retreat, and then we can annex it, but we must not easily let the Han State easily take Xiangyang County, once it is defeated, Jingzhou is in danger; The soldiers will use danger and strangeness, and please make a decision to the governor. ”
Fan Shen tightened his eyebrows, took a few steps, and said: "What King Liang said is not wrong, at this time, you must not easily take Xiangyang County for the Han State, pass on my order, immediately gather troops, horses, grain and grass to prepare, and send troops tomorrow morning." ”
Summoning soldiers and horses in this era is a big event in itself, plus the grain and grass soldiers and horses, being able to send troops tomorrow morning is already a very elite person, and this is still Fan Shen, as the governor of the left capital, has the right to act cheaply.
"Yes!" All the people in the hall immediately agreed, and the sound of armor was endless.
Fan Shen also ordered someone to ask the monarch, after all, he also had to respect the monarch, although he had the right to act cheaply, but if he acted recklessly, it was also the way to die.
Fan Shen's left capital was not far from the national capital, but he received the edict of the lord overnight, and after getting Fan Shen's message, Sun Hao decided to attack in three ways, capture Guangling County, Jiangxia County, and Xiangyang County of Wei State, and move the battle line north.
It's just that after Fan Shen received this edict, he was shocked, and the big plan of the lord of the country was beyond his expectations.
