Chapter 961: Those who seek saints seek others and seek themselves
Kyoto Province, Handan City.
Lian Po Jin Cicada broke out of his shell, fled back to Handan in embarrassment, and informed the lord Emperor Chen of the details of the battle.
After hearing this, Di Chen's face was gloomy and terrifying, what he was worried about was not the Swordsman City, but the difficult situation that the alliance would face after the destruction of the 150,000 reinforcements.
Not to mention far away, Caiyun City is afraid that it will not be able to be saved.
Great Xia's deliberate blow made the [Yanhuang Alliance]'s response look extremely pale.
The peerless Fenghua looked at Di Chen's eyes full of pity, the man in front of him couldn't say that he didn't work hard, nor could he say that he was not talented, the fault was that he met an amazing opponent.
Ouyang Shuo's light was too shining, and any opponent could only be overshadowed. This is not the sorrow of Emperor Chen, but the sorrow of an era.
"It's all my fault, I shouldn't have come up with a plan like that." The peerless Fenghua said to himself.
Di Chen waved his hand and said, "It has nothing to do with you, this plan is unanimously agreed upon by everyone." No one would have thought that Great Xia would have such anti-heaven props. The Swordsman City also deserved to be destroyed, and the Qiang people who were close to them didn't know how to take advantage of it, but instead let Daxia take the lead and complete the fatal blow to the Swordsman City, which was really ironic. ”
"What's next?"
"If I expect it to be good, the old fox will have a trick, wait, there is still a good show to watch."
The peerless elegance is silent, and the uneasiness in my heart is getting better and better.
…………
Danyang City, the city lord's mansion.
After getting the battle report, Chun Shenjun was also anxious like an ant on a hot pot.
The destruction of 150,000 reinforcements means that Caiyun City is in danger. As a result, the two field armies that remained in Danyang City in Shonan Province suddenly became difficult to support alone.
"That's going to be difficult."
Chun Shenjun walked around in the study, weighing the merchants, and finally made up his mind, "If it really can't work, let the army withdraw, and you can't let them feed the evil wolf of Great Xia." ”
At the moment, Chun Shenjun can only act at the opportunity.
…………
The battle of Swordsman City was soon learned by various war reporters. Early the next morning, the front pages of the major media reported the battle situation in Swordsman City, which attracted enough attention.
As soon as the news came out, the players were in an uproar.
No one expected that a fierce battle that was originally evenly matched would turn into a one-sided victory.
As soon as the war report came out, the owners of countless underground money banks were eager to commit suicide by jumping off the building.
Before the war, these underground money banks secretly opened gambling plates, and more than ninety percent were more optimistic about the [Yanhuang League]. As soon as the results came out, the bosses of these money banks were afraid that they would even lose their pants.
Daxia iron fans, such as Lin Jing, have made a lot of money.
………
October 16, Swordsman City.
At about ten o'clock in the morning, Luo Shixin and others led their troops to escort the prisoners of war to the outside of the swordsman city. The four generals gathered together again, and Luo Shixin read out the royal order sent by Ouyang Shuo overnight.
"I am glad to hear that Long Xiang has made meritorious contributions and raised the prestige of our army, and I am very relieved. However, the war has not yet ended, and Shu has not yet been pacified, so the generals should guard against arrogance and rashness, forge ahead, and should chase the poor bravely, and not sell their names to learn from the overlord. One should be praised, and when the war in Shu is over, the king will not hesitate to reward. ”
"Do as the king commands!"
The generals bowed their heads, and their hearts were solemn.
Luo Shixin then took out a military order, but it was sent by Bai Qi on the way, echoing the king's order.
"The commander has an order, there is no need to wait for him to arrive in Swordsman City, we can lead the troops first, sweep Badong County, and then attack Hanzhong County, and take down the entire Shu land to build a complete contribution."
"No!"
After the reading was completed, the four of them discussed the specific battle plan with Chen Gong, the military advisor.
There is no difficulty in taking Badong County, Swordsman City fell, the lord Feng Qingyang fled, Badong County became an outcast all of a sudden, and there was no army to garrison, and it was not easy to capture the whole county.
The only thing to worry about is not to let the neighboring Danyang City and Fallen Leaf City take their own food, and once again stage the farce of "Guilin County gains and loses".
Chen Gong said: "The attack on Padang County can be summed up in eight words, a high-profile attack, and the soldiers are fast. ”
"Strategist, the soldiers are quick and easy to understand, what is the explanation of a high-profile attack?" Luo Shixin asked.
"In order to dispel the enemy's covetousness, it is necessary to show the enemy that our army is determined to take Patong County, and to this end, we will not hesitate to fight, dare to show our sword, and not let the enemy see the slightest opportunity." Chen Gong explained.
"Whether it is Fallen Leaf City or Danyang City, they are still facing the threat of our allies, and they will never dare to make a desperate bet. As long as we are firm, they will not wade into this troubled water. ”
Luo Shixin and the others nodded in unison, deeply impressed.
That's the benefit of having a military division.
Seeing this, Luo Shixin looked at Zhang Liao and said, "In this case, please ask General Zhang to lead his troops to attack Badong County." ”
In the Longxiang army, the number of cavalry of the Third Army led by Zhang Liao and the Fourth Army led by Luo Shixin was the majority.
With Zhang Liaozhi's cleverness, he should be able to understand the meaning of "high-profile attack" very well.
"The last general commands!"
Zhang Liao's spirit was shocked, and he appreciated Luo Shixin more and more.
Obviously, Luo Shixin took the initiative to let "Xian" and handed over this good errand to Zhang Liao, after all, Luo Shixin's department is also mainly cavalry, and it is also suitable for attacking Badong County.
Since he was appointed as the interim principal, Luo Shixin naturally had to act impartially and not favoritism. Fortunately, no matter which unit has made meritorious service, there is a copy of Luo Shixin in the merit book.
This is one of the differences between a general and a commander.
Badong County is just a delicate disease, and Hanzhong County is a big trouble, not only because Hanzhong County is far away from the mountains and is located in the northernmost part of Shudi, but also Hanzhong County is not owned by Swordsman City, but is occupied by three territories.
Once Great Xia showed its intention to attack Hanzhong County, the three lords of Bao Buqi jumped over the wall in a hurry, and applied for asylum from the Shu Han Dynasty like the Swordsman City.
By then, things will be complicated.
Chen Gong didn't have a second [Stop Talisman] in his hand.
"That's it." It was still Chen Gong's plan, "Leave one legion to guard the Swordsman City, and the remaining two legions will join the Qiang army, make a detour to Qiang County, quietly go north from the western front, attack Hanzhong County, and take the enemy by surprise." ”
Whether it is for Swordsman City or for the lords of Hanzhong County, Qiang County is a forbidden place, and few eyes and ears can enter the territory of Qiang County.
Long Xiang's army went north from Qiang County, which was obviously more secretive than Badong County.
Luo Shixin and the others listened and had no objections.
Just when Luo Shixin was about to arrange his troops, Lai Hu'er took the initiative to apply to lead his troops to sit in Swordsman City, leaving the opportunity to conquer Hanzhong County to the other two legions.
Although this battle is difficult and dangerous, it is also an opportunity to make great achievements.
Lai Hu'er has already captured Wei Yan and won Swordsman City, so naturally he will not fight for merit again.
Seeing this, Luo Shixin did not retreat, and decided that he and Xiao Chaogui would lead the troops, led by the Qiang army, take the western front, pass through Qiang County, and quietly attack Hanzhong.
After the plan was settled, the two armies set off separately that afternoon. In this way, the battle of Shu ushered in a protracted battle to sweep the tail, and I don't know what new waves will happen.
………
Just when the war in Shu restarted, the situation in southern Hunan also changed.
A few days ago, in accordance with the unified deployment of the [Yanhuang League], the First Army of Caiyun City was withdrawn from Baoqing County and returned to Caiyun City to garrison and guard the lair.
This withdrawal gave the remaining lords of Baoqing County a chance to breathe, and they all fell to Great Xia and contacted the army led by Li Mu, hoping that Li Mu would move to Baoqing County as soon as possible.
As for Changde County, it has already been taken by Li Mu.
At the same time, the Leopard Tao army led by Han Xin had also fought all the way to the outside of Caiyun City, and seeing that the army of Caiyun City had returned to defense, Han Xin's troops were extremely flexible and did not lead his troops to attack Caiyun City.
On the contrary, Han Xin only left the Second Army of the Leopard Tao Army under the command of Zhang Han and stationed twenty miles outside Caiyun City, monitoring every move of Caiyun City from afar.
The remaining two legions did not go to sweep Yongchuan County, where Caiyun City was located, nor Guiyang County, where Caiyun City belonged, but went all the way north and went straight to Baoqing County.
This time, Caiyun City immediately fell into a desperate situation.
The First Legion stationed in Caiyun City is in a dilemma, don't go out of the city, the Second Legion remaining in Baoqing County may be eaten by Han Xin's troops at any time; Let's get out of the city, and face the sniping of Zhang Hanbu again.
As a famous general at the end of Qin, Zhang Han is not a vegetarian.
With the First Army of Caiyun City alone, it was categorically unable to break through the interception of Zhang Han's department.
Caiyun City's only hope of turning the tide of the battle was placed on the 150,000 reinforcements of the [Yanhuang Alliance]. Only when reinforcements arrive can they break Zhang Hanbu and then go north again.
But this hope was completely buried in the decisive battle outside the swordsman city.
On the afternoon of the 16th, Emperor Chen sent a secret letter to Caiyun Zhinan, making it clear that the [Yanhuang League] had emptied all the mobile troops that could be mobilized.
The implication is that there are no more reinforcements.
This made Caiyun Zhinan fall into despair, and unfortunately became another outcast of the [Yanhuang League]. The difference is that this abandoned son is not something that Emperor Chen and others are willing to give up.
Whether it is the south of Caiyun or Emperor Chen, it is extremely bitter.
The world is so cruel that it pushes people into a desperate situation again and again, and they have to make painful choices.
At this moment, Zhang Liang, who had not been treated by Caiyun Nan recently, stood up and said, "Lord, the best choice at the moment is to take the initiative to surrender before Great Xia makes a move, and you can get back some promises." ”
Caiyun Zhinan laughed at himself: "Heh, it's come to this point, will Great Xia still accept my surrender?" ”
"Yes. Our two legions have not yet been defeated, and Caiyun City is still standing. If Great Xia wants to take Caiyun City, he must pay a certain price, if he can fight without blood, with the mind of the Xia King, he will definitely agree. I don't dare to say that the position of a county guard is absolutely indispensable to the lord. ”
Zhang Liang is worthy of being a saint, and his control of people's hearts has reached the pinnacle.
Those who seek saints also seek others and seek themselves.
Zhang Liang proposed such a plan, not only to name the way out for the south of Caiyun, but also to be unwilling to accompany the south of Caiyun to be buried together and be unknown in the wilderness.
Today, only Daxia can allow Zhang Liang to show his strengths.
Caiyun Zhinan is not a strong-willed person, he has weaknesses, and when he fell into despair, he didn't have the slightest defense against the bait thrown by Zhang Liang, and he didn't think about it, so he immediately nodded in response.
The position of the county guard is enough to move the south of Caiyun.
