Spring and Autumn I Am King

Chapter 959: another accident

"How many people does Zhao Jun have?"

Chen Qi has a total of four sons, of whom Chen Heng is the longest, followed by Chen Ni and Yiyi Chengtou. Chen Ni let an experienced veteran risk his death. After investigating the Zhao's Eastern Front Camp, he got his reward. . .しwχS520.

"Stove fires are everywhere, no less than 30,000 to 40,000 people..."

"Thirty or forty thousand... So, most of the soldiers from the Zhao's Shandong counties are here?"

Chen Ni was a little worried. Yiyi was the fortress that the Chen family had worked so hard to manage for ten years, and there were also a lot of Qi troops concentrated here, and Gaotang, Dong'e, and Pingyin were mutually horns. Just defending the city was enough to compete with Zhao Jun .

But the other party is the Zhao clan. If their craftsmen carry a siege weapon, the strong city may not be reliable.

But for the Chen family, this is also good news. Since the main force of the Zhao family in the east is here, it is impossible to transfer the west to fight Qin and Wei, and the strategy of attacking the west and defending the east has been initially realized. Slowly contain Zhao Jun.

...

"Have all the troops of the allies arrived?"

At the same time, Ma Ling in the northern border of the Wei Kingdom, the main camp of Zhao's Eastern Front, was appointed by Zhao Wuxi, and You Wu, who was in full command of the three armies, was sitting on the marching bench, looking majestically at the generals Dianmao.

The stool was originally a bedside or a stepping device for getting on a car. It was introduced into the army by Zhao Wuxi a few years ago as a portable outdoor sitting device for the army. Most of the generals in his army were promoted from the ranks, and a group of military men didn't think there was anything wrong with sitting on the bench, so they continued to use it.

Of course, this thing still can't wait for the elegant hall.

You Wu is the oldest general of the Zhao clan with the most outstanding military exploits. He is nearly sixty years old. However, he was also injured in that battle. Before the battle was over, he vomited blood while lying on his bow bag. Since then, he has been a little powerless to go out on the expedition. In addition, because of Zhao Yang's death, he was too sad and was bedridden for a time. Zhao Wuxi was considerate of him, and most of them let him hang up a high-ranking job and stay at home. This time, there was another war. Zhao Wuxi was in charge in the west, and there could be no generals in the east, so You Wuzheng came out again and led the Zhao allies against the Qi people.

The two major alliances in the Central Plains have already started a full-scale war, and their respective deployment of troops has been going on for more than a month. In order to defend, not a single soldier crossed the border to attack Zhao, Lu, and Wei.

However, the Zhao clan could not leave the Qi people alone. After all, Hanoi and Hebei were the strategic rear lines of the Zhao clan, and there was no room for loss, and the best defense was to attack. You Wuzheng set up its base camp in Maling, which is located in the northern part of Wei State, across the Dahe River and across from Zhao's Hejian County. It is very convenient for the Zhao army and the Wei army to gather here, and they can reach it dozens of miles ahead. Yiyi controlled by Qi State.

You Wuzheng is famous for his good offense, and what he showed this time is to lead the army on the east front to take Yiyi and recover the old land of Jin.

"The Qi people have stolen Yiyi for more than ten years, and it's time to take it back!"

What he declared to the outside world is also in line with the news that Zhao Wuxi deliberately revealed, but only a few people know that it seems that there are tens of thousands of troops, and the Maling camp, which is full of fire every day, is actually only 5,000 guards. With Zhao Jun in Hejian, who is less than 10,000 people, when the meal is opened, almost one person lights three or four stoves, making Qi people mistakenly think that Zhao Jun here is overwhelming...

In fact, the real main force of the Zhao army is slowly moving to the west of Taihang Mountain, and the east is just bluffing. As a gesture of attacking the state of Qi, Qi people dare not act rashly.

Contrary to the strategy of going east and then west during the Sixth Rebellion, because the state of Lu was strong this time, there was basically no need to worry about collapsing under the attack of the state of Qi, while Qin and Wei became the vanguard of anti-Zhao, and they had already invaded Jin. If the east of the country is not eliminated early, I am afraid that the anti-Zhao forces within Jin will also unite.

However, this strategy cannot be performed by Zhao Jun in a county in Hejian alone, and must rely on the cooperation of allies. While You Wuzheng was holding back the main force, it also allowed allies to constantly harass its vast borders, so that the people of Qi could be left in limbo.

Now, according to the spirit of the Taoqiu Alliance, Zhao Yi of Wei Guo has sent troops, although not many, but it is already the limit of Wei Guo. Ran Qiu of the State of Lu led an army to station Yuncheng, and Ma Ling was the horn of each other, and an army of Lu soldiers was transferred to the State of Jin under the leadership of Thief Zhi to help defend the empty cities of Hanoi and Ye after the main force left.

As for Zou, Ju, and the exiled soldiers of Qi, they all have their own tasks. Only after the 5,000 people dispatched by Yan and Zhongshan in the north have also arrived at the attack site, they can attack in multiple lines and execute the fire of the Qi people. harassment strategy.

But You Wuzheng had been waiting in Maling for several days, but there was no news from Yan Guo and Zhongshan. Until this day, he knew that an accident happened in the north: Yan Guo and Zhongshan did not know what the wind was, the two countries Before the troops left the country, they fought each other...

...

"The State of Yan and Zhongshan attacked each other. The State of Yan said that Zhongshan had taken refuge with the Qi people, while Zhongshan said that the State of Yan had taken refuge with the Qi people. Farce, Wang Sun, who do you think is telling the truth?"

Zhao Wuxi unceremoniously threw the reasons stated by the two countries on the table, and turned to ask Wang Sunsheng.

After Wang Sunsheng conquered the Hulao, his career in the Zhao clan finally began to flow smoothly, and he gradually rose to the position of the deputy of the army general. Both true and false."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Both the people of Yan and Zhongshan were forced to obey the Zhao clan. Since Shangqing successively assigned Xiaozong to Wei and Zou to replace the Qing clan, this caused some feudal unease. Yan and Zhongshan were no exception, and the Chen clan of Qi was no exception. In order to get rid of the situation of being trapped by the Zhao family, he will do everything he can, since he can persuade Qin and Wei, he must have greeted Yan and Zhongshan and lured them to join Lianheng."

"But both the state of Yan and Zhongshan are self-aware. The state of Yan lives in the bitter and cold places in the north, far away from the disputes between the feudal lords. The cavalry on behalf of the land can reach its capital in ten days. They dare not rebel against Zhao. The country is surrounded on all sides, and if they rashly oppose Zhao, they will make themselves the target of public criticism, and they will not dare to betray Zhao. At the same time, the two countries are wary of each other. Once there is trouble, they think that the enemy country is trying to plot against themselves, so in turn, they insist that the other party will act first, In this way, there is an excuse for crusade, and this is why today's farce."

Wang Sunsheng's analysis is reasonable, Zhao Wuxi's order to stop now is useless, he can only let Yan and Zhongshan consume themselves there for a while, and clean them up after the war.

But in this way, he only intended to let the various allied armies help him hold the Qi people's intentions, and he could not achieve it perfectly, at least the northern border of the Qi state was not in danger.

The current situation is already a bit unfavorable for Zhao. First, the Song State sent an envoy to apologize, saying that it was because the ruling Le Mi was not acclimatized or he ate the wrong food on his way back to the country. He suddenly fell ill and Nan Zi was also unwell. Unable to come forward. For a time, the power of the Song Dynasty began to appear blank, and the country was unstable, and it was impossible to send troops to support the Zhao family.

This means that Zheng Guo woke up from Song's containment and began to attack Han and Zhao, showing their amazing combat capabilities.

In this regard, Zhao Wuxi has quickly sent doctors to Song country, and at this time, the head of the Le family must not fall. At the same time, he also had to leave part of his army in Hanoi to prevent the Zheng people from taking the risk and crossing the river.

Secondly, the mutual attack of Yan and Zhongshan caused huge harm to the entire alliance. The soldiers of Hejian County were transferred to contain the Qi people, and the troops of Dongyang County and Dai County were also partly transferred to the West. The two mad dogs were biting each other, and Zhao Wuxi could not control it for the time being.

In the end, it is the most imminent. The Qin state and the Wei clan have been advancing all the way. They have already occupied many of the Han clan’s Hedong cities and stationed in various cities. The number of people transferred from Hexi is also increasing. The next step is probably to besiege the new city. Crimson.

For a time, the anti-Zhao forces within the Jin state were ready to move. Zhi, Fan, and the remaining members of the Bank of China poured out from the dark corners, spreading their dissatisfaction with Zhao Wuxi and spreading panic and anxiety.

Under such circumstances, Zhao Wuxi made a decision resolutely.

"In any case, the battle on the Western Front determines the outcome and cannot be shaken."

...

By deceiving the enemy by showing his or her intentions, and enticing him to reveal his intentions, but not revealing his own traces and making the enemy unpredictable, he can concentrate his own troops and disperse the enemy's troops; our troops are concentrated in one place, and the enemy's troops are dispersed in At ten places, I can attack the enemy with ten times the strength of the enemy, creating a favorable situation in which we have many and few enemies, and can achieve the goal of attacking the few with the many...

This is the "virtual and real" in Sun Tzu's art of war. The real master of strategy is to fight the battle of bullying the less. Zhao Wuxi is no exception this time. What he publicizes is that he wants to fight against the east and west at the same time, and destroy Qi and Qin together. In fact, after the end of spring ploughing, the troops east of Taihang went to the west to move to Shanxi from various passes in the Taihang Mountains to prepare for Zhao Wuxi's general offensive on the west front.

But now, it's time to make some changes, Zhao Wuxi ordered Wang Sun Shengming.

"You immediately commanded 3,000 men to Wenxian County, and joined the Lu army commanded by Liu Xiazhi. You and 5,000 men crossed the river from Mengjin, took the road into Zhou, and attacked the land of Yiluo, destroying the people of Zheng in the west. Master of Zheng, lift the siege of the Han family, and then enter the Taolin Fortress, waiting for the next order!"

Wang Sunsheng knew that this was another chance to make great achievements~lightnovelpub.net~ and took the lead. Unexpectedly attacked and unprepared, Zheng Guoren would never have imagined that when the situation in Hedong was so urgent, another Zhao army would kill from Chengzhou.

What moved him even more was the next step after realizing this strategic goal.

As far as he knew, the Zhao clan had dispatched nearly 100,000 troops to entertain them after they had lured the main forces of Qin and Wei into Hedong. In addition, the cavalry of Dai County had also quietly moved south in January, and after making a circle outside the fortress, Has arrived in Shangjun, behind the back of the Qin Wei coalition army...

As Sun Tzu said, since there were accidents everywhere in the battle, Zhao Wuxi also planned to surprise the enemy.

But the accident did not stop. Not long after Wang Sunsheng was ordered to go south, Shi Qi, another Chu countryman, came in a hurry. He forcibly suppressed the joy in his heart, put on a serious face, and said so in Zhao Wuxi's ear. so.

"Understood." Zhao Wuxi's expression did not change much, and after continuing to discuss the strategy with his retainers, he turned back to his Yulin guard with red brows, and said lightly: "Allocate Yulin guard and surround Tongli. palace!"
