Spring and Autumn I Am King

Chapter 631: Drive fish for the deep (below)

"It took two days to finally get over the 7,000 soldiers, and also intercepted all the merchant ships heading downstream, so as not to let them leak the news, Gu Cheng, you have done a lot of credit. ↗, x."

After leaving the boat and landing, Zhao Wuxi praised Gu Cheng, the boat official who presided over the shipping of Jijin ships. This person was also a talent that Zhao Yang had discovered from nearly a thousand diners. He was originally a low-status ferryman. After Zhao Yangze didn't ask about his background, he took the oar to join the Zhao family. He was not taken seriously at first, because the rowing was stable and he became Zhao Yang's exclusive boatman.

Until one day, when Zhao Yang was boating on the river in Wenxian County, facing the mountains and rivers, he remembered the half of the poem recited by Zhao Wuxi, and he couldn't help sighing: "The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying, where is the sage Ander traveling with me?"

When Gu Cheng heard it, he knelt down and said: "Jewels have no feet, but they can come from thousands of miles away. This is because people like it. The wise men have enough feet but they don't come. This is probably because you don't like wise men, my lord." "

Zhao Yang was very dissatisfied when he heard this: "I have thousands of clients, and the food supply is all too tight. When they were short of food, I went to the people in the evening. For this sake, who can say that I am not a gentleman?"

Gu Cheng said: "The reason why Honghu can fly high and far is because of the six husks. The hair on its back and belly is not very useful for flying. It is useless to have more than one, and it is also harmless to have less. No. Do the thousands of guests who know your lord be able to use them as Liuhe, or are those useless hairs on the back?"

Zhao Yang was speechless. The diners he recruited were indeed many talented people, such as Zhou She and Yang Yin, but more of them were ignorant. It takes careful screening to get usable talents.

He also looked at Gu Cheng with admiration from then on, and let this person come to Jijin as an official. Immediately, this important ferry has been operated vigorously. This time, if there is no ancient ride, he will ferry the reinforcements transferred from Lu State to the north bank one by one. I'm afraid it can be done so confidentially and orderly.

"This is the responsibility of the villain, I don't dare to claim credit..." Gu Cheng was not arrogant or impetuous, and called Zhao Wuxi secretly nodding. Ye You's sages can make Zhao get the hearts of the scholars of Jin State, and can dig out the capable officials here. It is not a pity that the food was wasted by the incompetent diners. After all, this is not a place he personally rules, and he can only go this In line with the national conditions of Jin, the method of selecting talents.

Seeing that the soldiers and soldiers have all landed on the shore, they are orderly camping and resting. Zhao Wuxi said: "I will leave a thousand more people to help you guard Jijin. This is the point of contact between the two Zhaos in the east and west. No matter the south bank or the north bank, you must not lose it!"

"Wei..." Gu Cheng raised his head and said again: "Don't the generals stay here to wait for the enemy? After all, the soldiers of Wu and Lu came all night, and they are already very tired, and there are six or seven thousand people coming to the enemy."

"The enemy army also traveled hundreds of miles, and I didn't expect our army to have landed, just in time to be surprised. Rest for a night, and then go out to meet the enemy after having a full meal."

"Of course. Although Ben is tired, he still has the strength to meet the enemy. We haven't encountered this kind of battle for a long time." Tian Ben confidently invited Ying to be the vanguard. However, Zhao Wuxi denied it. He called Yu Xi's name and asked him to rest for a while. Will ride out from the cast.

The state of Lu was short of horses, and all good horses had to be transported from the Jinyang area. Therefore, the expansion rate of the cavalry under Zhao Wuxi was not fast, and it was only expanded to 1500 cavalry: if there were more. Not to mention that there are not enough horses, the treasury he has just filled can't support it either.

Because the cavalry followed the elite line, after the continuous production of malleable iron in Taoqiu, Zhao Wuxi's cavalry had a new look.

However, he only had 500 riders by his side. The 500 he had brought earlier were in Qinshui to assist Zhao Yang, and the remaining 500 remained in Lu, just in case.

...

When sleeping in the camp, Zhao Wuxi couldn't sleep either, so he closed his eyes and took stock of the combat power in his hands.

In addition to 500 cavalry, his trump card is a division, that is, 2,500 soldiers. There are also 500 soldiers in Wenxian, and another 2,000 in Lu. That is his basic plan, the foundation of everything.

In addition, there are 4,000,000 people in the right army of Lu State. This is Zhao Wuxi's old team in Xilu. Considering that the recruited peasants and soldiers must be recruited in rotation to maintain domestic production, and they need to stay in defense of Qi, only bring Only a third of it came.

Of course, he asked the chief justice to release Cangge back to Lu, and asked Zhang Mengtan to quickly recruit troops and prepare food and grass. Naturally, he brought out more than that. There are also 3,000 Lu Guozhong army and 2,000 robbery militiamen on the way. Although these people are not elite, they can be used as combat power. As for the 3,000 Lu Guo Zuo army accompanying them, they can only act as civilian husbands.

These 8,000 people are not comparable to professional military pawns and veterans of the Right Army. They march slowly. Zhao Wuxun simply let Robber Zhi and Yang Tongrong take these people along the road slowly with great fanfare, making Qi, Wei and Erqing all I thought I had just left the country of Lu.

Now that he succeeded in attracting the snake out of the hole, he naturally had to go up with a stick and beat him hard a few times!

Zhao Wuxi was afraid that the enemy would run away! Jijin is a lonely enclave on the north bank of the Great River. He is considered to be fighting in the enemy's territory. If he can annihilate it in the field, he will annihilate it in the field.

He knew very well that it would be unfavorable for the Zhao family once they fell into a long-term battle.

...

Sixty-five miles south of Chaoge is Muyi, and thirty-five miles southeast of Muyi is Jijin.

The standard marching speed of the army of the feudal lords in this era is 30 miles a day. Fan and Handan's raiding troops are already moving fast, but by the time they set off from Muyi with simple siege equipment, they will have reached the third day. early morning.

"The Zhao family built a lot of ships in Wenxian County, and also recruited a lot of water pirates on the big rivers to cut off shipping. Because it is inconvenient for Qi to go upstream, there is nothing to do. At that time, we don't have to worry about the south bank, just take the north bank. The cities and towns will be occupied, and the ships will be burnt to the ground.”

Fan He and Handan Wu were still discussing the siege matters. After approaching the city, the entire army surrounded the city. It took half a day to attack. It should be easy to take it down and complete the task given to him by his father.

Afterwards, they could wait for the army of the Zhongxing clan to arrive and head west to Qinshui to find the Zhao clan for a decisive battle.

But when it was noon that day. They arrived more than ten li from Jijin, when the Fan family and the Zhao family split their borders. Chaoge Sima Liuxiang felt something was wrong.

He looked at the yellow winter wheat fields in the field and frowned: "These days are in mid-April. When the wheat is ripe, it stands to reason that someone in the nearby villages should be busy harvesting, but now there is no one..."

The diligent Fan's leaders will not delay the farming time, not to mention that since the wheat flour became popular in Jin, the price of wheat has doubled and become the most in-demand grain in the market. What is it that makes people forget to come to the fields to plan Food?

It was too late for him to think about it, because he was distributed around the main army, and news came from the guards who were in charge of vigilance. Said to be a glimpse of an unidentified lone horseman.

"Solo rider?" Liu Xiang's scalp tightened, Fan He and Handan Ji also looked at each other with some surprise in their eyes.

This is that person's famous arm, how could they not know it?

The Zhao clan defeated the Qi people with their cavalry. Although the people of Jin had always been light on the Qi, the ministers gradually began to pay attention to this type of arm, just as the other four ministers followed suit after Wei and the Bank of China destroyed their vehicles. It's a pity that the cavalry is not built in a day. The formation of a scout team of less than 100 people, and those novel harnesses have not been introduced to Jin, so it is still a tasteless existence.

Anyway, see the cavalry. If you see Zhao's teacher, this is still the same consensus.

Since there is Zhao's light cavalry here, it means...

Stop guessing. Soon, the front ** opened in and out. In front of Jijin's blurred back, there was dust flying. The scene that covered the sky and the sun, after the smoke and dust dispersed a little, a neat and orderly army appeared.

On the north bank of the Great River, there are no mounds that block the view, and there is no forest. More than a thousand years of development and logging have turned this area into bald land. Therefore, the enemy can be seen from a long distance, and there is no way to set an ambush.

Seeing an army with a number no less than one's own approaching on the opposite side, the Fan and Handan coalition forces, from generals to pawns, were all shocked. Naturally, it was impossible for the friendly troops to come out of Jijin. They originally expected to besiege the lonely city with few soldiers and few generals.

The people on the opposite side also found the comers. For a while, the war drums and horns continued, and they began to move forward. The few clouds in the sky seemed to be swept away by the murderous aura of the nearly 10,000 people advancing.

"It seems to be the banner of the Zhao family, isn't it Zhao Wuxi?" Although Handan Ji publicly declared that the Zhao family was harsh on Handan, and looked like they couldn't eat their flesh and sleep their skin, but in fact, he also had a heart of fear. .

Opposite, there is a man who claims to be invincible. The wooden sword that hit him a long time ago still seems to be aching...

"It's him!" Compared with Handan Ji, Fan He was more impulsive. When he saw the Yanri Xuanbird Banner, he immediately saw the scene of his brother's tragic death in the river. With the long sword Xiezhi in his hand, he cut off Zhao Wuxi's head.

But the actual conductor of this expedition, Chaoge Sima Liuxiang, gave him an order that made him furious.

"The enemy is still several miles away, so it's too late to retreat!"

Fan He was startled and immediately scolded, "Liu Sima, what are you doing!"

Liu Xiang is not a person who is not afraid of death. In fact, he was fortunate that he didn't have to follow the master to face the powerful Zhao Yang by the Qinshui. credit.

Unexpectedly, it still encountered a tough stubble.

His scalp was numb, but his opponent had defeated the famous general of the Zheng State, You Speed, and swept the invincible Zhao Wu Xie of the East. He had to have twice or even three times the strength of his troops before he dared to plunder his edge in the field, but now... …

He visually measured the number of people on the opposite side, and the two sides were almost the same. How could this fight?

Therefore, Liu Xiang strongly advised: "Zhao's son is cunning, there may be an ambush, it is better to retreat first."

"Fan's son, how can he avoid fighting when he encounters the enemy?"

Fan He couldn't stop scolding, and wanted to seek the support of Handan Ji. Whoever wanted to wear a linen and filial piety outside his armor, the little Handan patriarch also showed a look of fear.

"It's better to retreat first, retreat halfway for a while, and go back to Muyi to fight against the city, so that you can have more chances of winning..." Handan Ji's momentum vented, and the Handan underdogs behind him also changed from grief and anger to grief panic.

Handan Ji raised an army to avenge his father? At this moment it became a joke.

The army's tiger talisman was in the hands of Liu Sima, Fan He was helpless and could only allow it. The Fan and Handan coalition forces were also considered elite. At this time, the former army changed into the latter army, and there was no obstacle in the Great Plains, so they began to trot and retreat.

So an aggressive raid turned into a chasing and annihilation battle. The attackers were chased back and embarrassed. Fortunately, they were marching on their own territory, and they were familiar with the road, so they would not collapse all of a sudden.

However, the combined forces of Fan and Bank of China did not successfully return to Muyi as expected.

Wearing leggings and not knowing what they are, with cavalry harassment and no cavalry cover, advancing with the belief of victory and fleeing with the mind of avoiding war, the difference between traveling forty miles a day and traveling fifty miles a day is immediately apparent.

At a place only ten miles away from Muyi, they were overtaken by the enemy's forwards~lightnovelpub.net~ and blocked their way by two cavalry teams.

When they turned around, the soldiers in Handan were horrified to find that the soldiers on the opposite side had also slowed down. !"

And the enemy general, who was wearing black armor and a long feather coat, swept past the front of the battle with the guards holding the black bird flag.

"What is this place?"

Looking at the fields of farmland trampled by horses' hooves nearby, farmers fleeing in panic in the distance, and mu mulberry forests on the horizon, Zhao Wuxi suddenly moved in his heart and asked the scout beside him.

The young scout held a brief map in his hand. He glanced at it, then raised his head and responded, "My lord, this place is called Muye!"

ps: In the second chapter at night, I guess that after someone scolds me for using the reverse golden finger to abuse the main character, another person wants to scold me for opening the brain and halo, the main character has been invincible and boring, 2333 (to be continued.)
