Xianyang Storm Chapter 160 Calling for Troops

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Xiang Yu and Liu Bang finally sent out troops. They combined 300,000 troops to attack Sanchuan County, and used 50,000 troops as flanks to threaten Nanyang and steadily hold back Wang Ben's troops.  Fusu Yujia went on a personal expedition and mobilized 40,000 personal guards and 100,000 defenders of Yingtian Prefecture to support Sanchuan. In addition to the 50,000 troops and horses of Sanchuan County, there were nearly 200,000 troops.  However, Fusu was still at a disadvantage. Xiang Yu and Liu Bang took action one after another. The imperial court gradually showed its decline, and the war spread throughout Sanchuan County.  In Julu City, Zhao Jun was reading the battle report about Sanchuan County in his room, and finally handed the battle report to Wei Liao and Kuai Che on the left and right.  After the two of them looked at it, Kuai Che sighed and said: "Liu Bang and Xiang Yu are developing so fast. They defended 200,000 to 300,000 and still fell behind." Zhao Jun looked thoughtful and said: "Liu Bang and Xiang Yu are all heroes of the world.  , His men are as skilled as the clouds, and His Majesty only has Lord Meng Yi, who is not as powerful as Li You, so it is not surprising that he is at a disadvantage." Wei Liao smiled: "Haha, it was a mistake for the imperial court to choose the battlefield in Sanchuan County for defense.  The terrain of Sanchuan County is wide, and Liu Bang and Xiang Yu have a lot of strategic space. The imperial soldiers and horses can only struggle to cope with it. How can they gain the upper hand? If Sanchuan County is abandoned and Hangu Pass is defended, it is impossible for Liu Xiang to gain the upper hand. " Zhao Jun Diandian.  The leader agreed. It was very cost-effective to temporarily abandon a county in exchange for strategic advantages and initiative, and it could make up for the shortcomings of insufficient troops.  "It's a pity that Fusu doesn't understand the principle of losing land and losing people, and insists on keeping an eye on Sanchuan County. Of course, maybe someone in the court understands this truth, but Fusu is the emperor, and he can't bear the reputation of abandoning territory.  Kuai Che said at this time: "This cannot be entirely blamed on the imperial court. After all, Aocang is in Sanchuan County, which has one-third of the world's grain and grass. Giving up Sanchuan County is equivalent to losing Aocang. What if Liu Xiang gets this grain and grass?"  "The more you fight, the stronger you will become." "In the final analysis, I am still afraid that I will die without saving you. If he believes in me, what if I abandon Sanchuan County?" Zhao Jun said.  .  Wei Liao asked: "Then the Marquis is planning to take action?" "Yes." Zhao Jun nodded and said: "How can I say this, this is our country of Great Qin, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu are too rampant, he really thinks that Wu Chen and  Zang Tu can stop me, huh, what a delusion." Wei Liao nodded and said, "What the Marquis said is true, but we have to make some preparations first." Zhao Jun said after hearing this.  Those two things have to be adapted to the soldiers first, and Wu Chen and Zang Tu have to deal with them first, but I'm afraid he won't be able to support them for long at the court." After thinking about it, Zhao Jun said, "In this case, Mr. Kuai, please go.  The Northern Army met with Commander Meng and asked him to send troops to support the imperial court. He told Commander Meng that Zhao Jun will always be Zhao Jun of Da Qin and will always be his disciple. " "Nuo" Kuai Che knew that Fu Su had always been loyal to Zhao Jun.  Be prepared.  Therefore, when Wu Chen and Zhao Jun were fighting, most of the troops and horses of the Northern Army were still blocking the Jingjing Pass in the east of Taiyuan. Of course, they were not guarding against Wu Chen. At this time, he did not have any extra troops to move westward, but was afraid that he would march westward.  Zhao Jun defeated the military officials and took advantage of the situation to advance westward.  Now Zhao Jun asked Kuai Che to persuade Meng Tian, ??just to dispel Meng Tian's wariness, in addition to guarding against the Huns necessary men and horses.  There can be soldiers and horses to support the court.  Zhao Jun believes that Meng Tian still trusts him, but he has always been hindered by Fusu's orders before. Now that Sanchuan County is in danger, Meng Tian must be able to make the right decision.  On the second day, Zhao Jun ordered Hu Hai and Cao Wushang to mobilize Linzi's new ordnance and march north to Julu.  Reorganize the troops and horses.  "Boss, are you finally going to use those two things?" Cao Wushang looked happy after hearing this.  Hu Hai also said excitedly: "Haha, this time we must wipe out all the rebels in the world." "Go, go back as soon as possible. Use these two things here first, and treat it as practice, and then we will go  Sanchuan versus Liu Bang and Xiang Yu." Zhao Jun's eyes were filled with confidence.  "No." The two of them responded immediately, then turned and left.  Seeing that the two men had left, Zhao Jun ordered Tang Li, Guan Ying and Yingbu to reinforce the city defense. He did not go out to fight against Zang Tu and Wu Chen. He only waited for the new weapons to arrive and used them to practice with them so that the soldiers could become familiar with the new weapons in battle.  Ordnance, running-in and matching.  Kuai Che also set out that day, and under the protection of more than a dozen iron guards, he quietly reached northern Xinjiang.  The current Northern Xinjiang, especially the Hetao area, is no longer the Northern Xinjiang that Zhao Jun saw a few years ago.  Today¡¯s Hetao area is fertile, with cultivated land and densely populated people, and countless cattle, sheep and horses are grazing. The war in the interior has not affected the frontier at all, which shows Mengtian¡¯s ability.  Of course, the most dazzling one is Jiuyuan City, which is nine feet high and more than ten miles long and wide.  Although Jiuyuan City is located south of the Great Wall, because it is on the border, the city is mainly based onIt is mainly solid, with clear edges and corners, full of the fortitude of a soldier and the wildness of a frontier fortress, just like a giant beast crawling on the grassland.  When Kuai Che approached Jiuyuan City, he felt a sense of emotion. This city was indeed majestic, thick and suitable for defense. Looking at the people's livelihood around it, it was not difficult to imagine that Meng Tian was an all-rounder in both civil and military affairs. No wonder Zhao Jun always admired him.  After Kuai Che entered the city, he revealed his identity. The people at Jiuyuan City Station respected him very much because he was a member of the Shenwu Marquis Zhao Jun. After all, Zhao Jun was also from the Northern Army and had always been their idol, so they quickly took Kuai Che there.  See Meng Tian.  Meng Tian is in a large courtyard in the center of the city. This is the military and political center of the border army. Meng Tian naturally works here.  "Kuai Che pays homage to the general." Kuai Che entered the room where Meng Tian worked and bowed politely to Meng Tian in front of the long desk.  After hearing this, Meng Tian stopped writing and put away the bamboo slips. He straightened his body, looked at Kuai Che and said, "It must be Marquis Shenwu who sent you here."  Send troops south to support Your Majesty," Kuai Che said bluntly.  Meng Tian did not agree immediately after hearing this, but looked at Kuai Che a few times and said: "As far as I know, it is not difficult for the Marquis to defeat Wu Chen and Zang Tu. I have heavy border affairs, why can't he come to the rescue?  " Kuai Che's obedient expression did not change, and he spoke again: "The Marquis will definitely save him, but he hopes that the marshal will come forward first to stabilize the situation in Sanchuan County. The marshal should know that Liu Bang and Xiang Yu are the mortal enemies of the Marquis, both in public and in private.  , Mr. Hou will not let them go. " "Does he want to eat Liu Bang and Xiang Yu at once?" Meng Tian said suddenly.  Kuai Che's face changed and he said with a smile: "I knew I couldn't hide it from the commander-in-chief. It was true. From the moment the two sent troops, the Marquis had no intention of letting them go back alive. There are rebels in the world, and the Marquis will kill them all." Meng Tian listened.  After that, he couldn't help but feel moved, but he thought deeply: "I don't know what he has to rely on, and why he can't take action now. He is my handsome disciple. I trust him very much, but it is related to the country. I think he should give some words.  "That's what Commander Meng said." Kuai Che said, "It's just that those dependencies cannot be disclosed for the time being, but they are the key to Lord Hou's victory. The reason why we don't take action now is because the time is not right. That's why Lord Hou asked me to come."  Please ask Commander Meng to take action and secure the most favorable opportunity for the Marquis to rely on him." Meng Tian obeyed and remained silent for a long time. He knew Zhao Jun's character very well. He would not deceive himself, and he was not ignorant of the overall situation, but the country and the country were the most important.  , he insisted on defending the west.  One mistake can lead to a big mistake.  Seeing that Meng Tian was still hesitating, Kuai Che said: "The Marquis also asked me to bring a message to Meng Shuai." Meng Tian was stunned and said: "What are you saying? Say it." Kuai Che said: "The Marquis said that he will always  He is Zhao Jun of Great Qin, the legitimate son of the late emperor, and the Marshal is his master. The only one he can trust and rely on now is you, Marshal. " Kuai Che modified Zhao Jun's original words.  Basically it is the meaning of the original words, but the content to be expressed can be infinitely enlarged.  Meng Tian was startled after hearing this, and couldn't help but murmured: "Silly boy, you will always be the pride of the master." ¡ª¡ª In Wu Chen's camp, Wu Chen asked Zhang Er: "It's been strange these days, why?  "There is no movement from the Qin army in the city?" "Your Majesty, I can't guess." Zhang Er said: "But we can't act rashly. This is the only chance to recapture Julu. Once the Qin army takes root in Julu.  , I¡¯m afraid we won¡¯t be able to get it back even if we join forces with Zang Tu. And if Zhao Jun has many tricks, we may fall into the trap. As long as we guard the camp, we won¡¯t let Zhao Jun have the chance to regain the counties around Julu.  , Now Liu Bang and Xiang Yu have the upper hand in Sanchuan and are winning steadily. As long as the Emperor of Qin dies, Zhao Jun will not last long. Then we can go south to divide Zhao Jun's territory. " "Well, you are right.  , Those counties in Linzi are so rich that I am greedy. Why should Zhao Jun, a Qin man, occupy the whole land? Sooner or later, it will all be mine. " When mentioning the counties in Linzi, the military ministers' faces were full of greed. The land of Zhao has been war-torn for a long time.  He doesn't know how to run a business, and his people's livelihood has always been poor. He has long been jealous of the wealth in several counties in Linzi and has gone crazy with jealousy.  "Report, General Li Liang has arrived." At this moment, the soldiers outside the tent suddenly shouted.  "Li Liang? Isn't he attacking Jingjing Pass?" Wu Chen was stunned: "Tell him to come in." Soon, a tall, thick, black-armored general with a round face came in, but he looked tired and decadent.  The clothes and armor are also very messy.  "I pay my respects to the king. I have fulfilled the great trust of the king and failed to defeat Wang Li. To prevent the king from worrying, I brought my troops back." Li Liang walked into the tent and bowed down on one knee.  It turns out that when Wu Chen decided to attack Julu, he secretly left 25,000 troops and horses led by General Li Liang to attack Jingjing Pass in order to defeat Meng Tian.He was caught off guard, or he thought that when the Sanchuan war broke out, Meng Tian would go south to support him, and he would take advantage of it.  But unexpectedly, Meng Tian sent Wang Li to lead his troops to attack, planning to defeat Li Liang, and almost killed Li Liang in battle. Li Liang was defeated, so Wang Li took the opportunity to occupy Jingjing Pass.  Li Liang was frightened out of his wits and lost his geographical advantage, so he had no choice but to return to Handan in defeat. Later, he brought troops to support the military ministers to show his loyalty.  "Hmph, that's nice to say. Not to mention losing most of the troops, even Jingjing Pass was occupied. How do you think this king should punish you?" Wu Chen had a gloomy face. He had already received the battle report, but when he saw Li  Liang still couldn't help but be angry. It didn't matter that he lost most of his troops. The most important thing was that he lost the Jingjing Pass, which allowed the Qin army to take the initiative.  Jingjing Pass is a dangerous pass and difficult to attack. The Qin army only needs to deploy 5,000 troops and horses to be well prepared. Even if he has 50,000 troops, it will be difficult to attack. What's more, he is now trapped in Julu, and it is impossible to capture Jingjing Pass.  "Your Majesty, please forgive me. It's not that I don't use my strength, but Wang Li is too powerful. Please give me a chance, Your Majesty. I will fight to the death for Your Majesty, and I won't be defeated like last time." Li Liang hurriedly begged for mercy.  Zhang Er also said beside him at this time: "Your Majesty, now is the time to employ people. Why not give him a chance to atone for his sins." The military minister listened to his words and pondered for a long time, and finally said to Li Liang: "Huh, even if the prime minister is asking for mercy, then  Spare your life and lead your old troops to stay in the army. You will be the vanguard in the battle with Zhao Jun. " "Yes, yes, thank you for your kindness." Li Liang stood up and said to Zhang Er.  Thank you, Prime Minister." Finally, the military official waved his hand, and Li Liang hurriedly exited.  In fact, Li Liang is very brave. Wang Li's powerful military ministers have learned from it. Li Liang's military strength is not superior, so the defeat is not unforgivable. It's just that the military ministers were angry that Li Liang lost the well path, which made him passive.  In addition, the reason why Wu Chen did not ask questions at the beginning, but only expressed his stance after Li Liang arrived, was mainly because of his troubled sister.  It turns out that after Li Liang was defeated and returned to Handan, he happened to meet Wu Chen's sister and had some unpleasantness. Wu Chen's sister, relying on the fact that she was the king's sister, became arrogant and domineering, which severely damaged Li Liang's face.  Li Liang¡¯s status under the military minister was not low, especially after Han Guang and Zang Tu¡¯s betrayal, his status was even higher and he also had some prestige in the army. The military minister was afraid that he would not be able to explain to Li Liang, so he deliberately said this to silence Li Liang.  At this time, Li Liang returned to his camp to calm down and became angry. He was demoted in Handan, mainly as punishment for the defeat. However, he did not expect that the military minister would bring up the old matter again after arriving here.  This made Li Liang unable to say anything he wanted to sue, and he felt very aggrieved.  "Humph, since you are unrighteous, don't blame me for being ruthless." Li Liang snorted coldly, his eyes flashing with cold light. He could naturally understand Wu Chen's intention, but he couldn't swallow this breath.  Late at night, Li Liang quietly left the camp alone. No one knew where he had been all night, but he came back looking tired in the morning without disturbing anyone else.  (To be continued.)
