Chapter 153: The Great War (2)
"The Shu army in Hanzhong really got up and went towards Liangchuan County!"
In the mansion of the marshal of Qinchuan, Guo Wentong held a piece of information in his hand, and his face was gloomy.
The content of this information is that Wang Hongyi raised 50,000 troops and entered Liangchuan County. Now that this news has reached Guo Wentong's hands, not only him, but many forces in Qinchuan have also learned about it.
Guo Wentong reluctantly found that although he swore a promise that he would lead the Qin army to resist the attack of the Shu army to the death, the families of Qin Chuan were still panicking.
30,000 people vs. 50,000 people, there is already a difference in strength, Wang Hongyi let Guo Wentong suffer a loss last time, these families are also very clear, they are not confident that Guo Wentong can repel the Shu army, it is inevitable that they will not have enough confidence.
The atmosphere of fear that permeated Qin Di made Guo Wentong very angry. Guo Wentong has also been operating in Qindi for many years, and his control over Qindi is still very strong.
In Guo Wentong's opinion, it was either the harassment sent by Wang Hongyi to harass the rumors spread by other princes who took advantage of the chaos!
"Hmph, Wang Hongyi is just a yellow-mouthed child, I, Guo Wentong, have been operating in Qindi for many years, and I have been fighting horses for more than ten years, so I am afraid that he will not succeed?
However, even if he scolded Wang Hongyi as a "yellow-mouthed child", Guo Wentong had to admit that Wang Hongyi was indeed a heroic figure with extraordinary skills.
Having operated Qindi for many years, he knows very well how difficult it is to calm down a region!
In the end, Wang Hongyi unified Shudi, no matter how much luck is the majority, how many Shu domain towns can't do it, Wang Hongyi has done it here, this is the ability!
Shu is a lot of heroes, and it is by no means a good relationship to be able to jump up from it and quickly pacify Shudi, Guo Wentong is not convinced, but he is actually extremely jealous of Wang Hongyi in his heart.
"Pass on the commander's order, the commander will personally go out to fight, lead 30,000 Qin troops, and fight Wang Hongyi to the death!" In addition to Guo Wentong in Qin, at this moment, all forces in Jingzhou and nearby have also received information about the rise of Wang Hongyi's army.
In the Jiangling Governor's Office, the county guard, Zheng Pingyuan's face was full of joy.
In the final analysis, it is only the land of two counties now, and in terms of strength, it is far worse than Qinchuan in Shu. If Wang Hongyi takes Jingzhou first, Zheng Pingyuan's future will be difficult.
Although the Shu army attacked Qinchuan, one side won, and it will be a battle for Jingzhou in the future, but it will be delayed for a few years, and perhaps at that time, Jingzhou will be a different situation, and it is not known.
"The target taken by the Shu army was Qinchuan, and the area of Guanzhong was so vast that the two heroes competed with each other, which won time for Jingzhou. β
Thinking of this, Zheng Pingyuan first breathed a sigh of relief, the color on his face was mild, he picked up the letter paper and looked at it, crumpled it with a wry smile, and threw it into a bamboo cage.
In the future, it must be specially incinerated, and not a word can be missed.
"Military matters, we can't wait any longer. Zheng Pingyuan thought as he walked with his steps.
"The infantry and naval divisions of the two counties have to redeploy the training, and strive to complete it this month, they have almost been prepared before, the next step is Changsha, capture Changsha, Jingbei is almost decided, Jingbei is decided, Jingnan can be captured, I have thought it through, now is a race against time. β
This is something that Zheng Pingyuan has thought about many times repeatedly, and then made up his mind.
"I just hope that God will give me some more time...... Zheng Pingyuan, who has to follow the rules of the court because of the majesty of the imperial court, has seen clearly in the past two years, the world has been in chaos, and it is inevitable that the sky will change.
If it weren't for the fact that the court and the king of Wu were still consuming each other, it would have become a climate, and then there would only be Shu or Wu annexed!
"With the assistance of various families in Jingzhou, how can it be too difficult for our army to develop?" Zheng Pingyuan's eyes showed a trace of firmness, his voice was low, and he said to himself.
But at this moment, someone urgently reported: "Report, there is a fierce battle in Yiling County, and the Shu army and sailors are attacking Yiling County!"
This surprise was not trivial, Zheng Pingyuan stood up violently and knocked over the table: "What?"
More than a dozen officials from Jishan County who followed him on the front line were handling official duties in an orderly manner.
The room was not large, the windows were open, there was a slight wind, and there were a dozen pro-soldiers standing outside, barely silent.
Don't look at this is just an ordinary study, but the name is the upper study, or in other words, where King Wu goes, the upper study will follow.
In fact, many of the important members of King Wu came out of here, which is very similar to Wang Hongyi.
The officials who work here, regardless of their official positions, at least they can see His Royal Highness King Wu from time to time, which is the place where the Holy Family begins.
It had just snowed outside, and although the floor tiles were cleaned, the snow hanging on the vegetation and trees fell there naturally, and when the snow melted, it would melt into the soil and make the vegetation grow stronger.
Wei Yue took advantage of the public opinion and came to the side door, and there were guards who came out early to wait.
"Lord Xun, are they there?" Wei Yue asked casually.
"My lord, the slave has never seen Lord Xun today. One of the guards replied cautiously.
"If you're mistaken, watch out for your dog minion's tongue. Wei Yue snorted and strode into the side hall. But the words he left behind made the waiter's legs tremble in fright.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Lord Xun has indeed never been here today. Someone next to him said soothingly.
This chamberlain wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and sighed in his heart, this His Royal Highness King Wu is really a bad one!
"His Royal Highness King Wu has arrivedβ"
"Wait, meet the lord!"
"No courtesy, flat!"
Wei Yue walked to his seat and sat down, and said to the officials below, "You guys go and get busy." Mr. Zhou, come forward. β
"Obey. Zhou Ji, who was dressed in Confucian clothes, stood up and walked in front of Wei Yue: "Your Highness, do you have something to ask?"
"I haven't seen Mr. Xun in the past few days, and when Mr. Xun only said that he was going to see his master, I don't know when he will return?" Wei Yue asked.
"King, our master is far away in the Fuyun Mountain Range, and we can return after coming and going in seven days. Zhou Ji replied.
"The Fubai Mountains are nearly a thousand miles apart, and they only come and go for seven days?" Wei Yue said: "When Mr. Yue Xun said that he would return in a few days, Gu still thought that it was the two gentlemen's teachers who came to the territory. β
"There are cultivators who travel hundreds of miles at a time. Zhou Ji said slowly, in fact, there is no such magic, but there is no need to explain it.
"To have this kind of stranger, to serve in the army, in the battle, will definitely play a great role. Wei Yue's expression changed, and after a long time, he said faintly.
Zhou Ji knew very well that Wei Yue was determined to be in the world, and this was not an ordinary question and answer, but Wei Yue couldn't help but want to borrow the monks of the Fuyun Mountain Range for his own use, but how could a cultivator actually interfere in the affairs of the mortal world? Of course, how could he actually have the power to interfere?
"Zhou mentioned to the king that cultivators can't meddle in mundane things, and if they do, they will lose their lifespan, even more than ordinary people, and the way of heaven cannot be violated, if you want to come hard, you are afraid that you will be punished by heaven. Although there are cultivation sects, they will send people down the mountain to assist Ming Jun, but most of them are strategists like me, as well as outer disciples with superior martial arts but no supernatural powers. As for the monks mentioned by His Highness who have traveled hundreds of miles, they simply cannot cast spells in the world to assist the monarch in seeking to conquer the world. β
"But please rest assured, Senior Brother Xun Zhi returned to the mountain gate this time to bring out a few warriors to help the king!" Seeing Wei Yue's gloomy expression, Zhou Ji hurriedly said: "Although you can't charge into battle, you can protect the king from close to worry!"
Seeing this, Wei Yue didn't say anything more.
The other party's master is indeed a big help for him, although he doesn't know about Pingshan Yin, but after touching the other party, he can clearly feel that the qi is running well.
"It's really like this, it's a big help!" Wei Yue said with a very happy appearance, as for what he thought in his heart, no one knows.
At this time, someone presented the intelligence of the Shu army.
"Wang Hongyi led 50,000 Shu troops to march from Hanzhong to Liangchuan County?" Wei Yue looked at the information in his hand and laughed: "Originally, I was worried about Wang Hongyi's plan, but I didn't expect it to be really going to Qinchuan!
Liangchuan County, in the hall of the General's Mansion, Xu Yu sat on it, and below was a row of soldiers.
In Xu Yu's hand, it was a letter from Guo Wentong, Guo Wentong was afraid that Xu Yu would suffer a big loss before he led the army, so he specially advised him to be cautious and cautious about the Shu army, Xu Yu read the letter several times and put it aside.
"The 50,000 Shu army has arrived at the border, what plan do you have to retreat from the Shu army?" he asked the soldiers below.
"General, the Shu army has 50,000, and there are only a few thousand defenders in our county, it is impossible to repel the Shu army, and order the cities to close the city gates, never go out of the city to face the battle, and defend it for a while, and when the marshal leads the army here, there will naturally be a way to retreat from the enemy!" someone said.
When Xu Yu heard this, his face was a little gloomy: "What about the 50,000 Shu army? General Ben is still afraid that they will not succeed?"
"General, since the commander has given the order, we can only obey the order, and I also ask the general to give the order to focus on defense. Seeing that Xu Yu was about to get angry, another deputy general persuaded him, meaning that this is the lord's order, and no one will say that you are not.
Xu Yu is coarse on the outside and fine on the inside, and he also understands this truth, knowing that it is not the time to act recklessly, just now it is just a necessary attitude, after hearing this, he nodded, followed the advice of his subordinates, and said: "Since this is the case, this general will focus on defense!"
When the ministers heard him say this, their hearts were relieved.
At this time, Wang Hongyi's 50,000 Shu army had entered the territory of Liangchuan County, close to the first city.
Guo Wentong personally led an army of 30,000 and rushed towards Liangchuan County.
The two armies were about to confront each other, and for a while, the dragon qi condensed in the territory of Liangchuan County, attracting the attention of most eyes.
