Spring and Autumn I Am King

Meng Xia in April, the main fire, the main attack.

This month, the spring ploughing has been completed inside and outside Taihang of the Jin Kingdom, and the summer harvest is also being completed one after another.

The Hanoi of the Jin State has been shrouded in the cloud of war, and the forces of all parties confront each other here.

Hanoi is called Hanoi because it is located to the east of the north bank of the depression of the Yellow River, and is located in the former Yin and Shang Wangji. It is opposite to Henan and Hedong, and is called "Three Rivers". In the past, Yu Xia was the capital of Hedong, the Yin capital was Henei, and the Zhou capital was Henan. The "three rivers" were the hinterland of Yu Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, and were also synonymous with "Central Plains".

"Three rivers in the world are like the three legs of a big tripod, especially Hanoi, which controls the danger of big rivers in the south, Taihang in the north, and Chaoge and Weidi in the east. The mountains and rivers in the mountains cross the Jin and Wei. In the past, the decline of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the Jin conquered Nanyang and achieved its dominance, it is a place to be contested..."

Riding his horse on the vast Hanoi Plain, Zhao Yang, dressed in military uniform, led his retainers to the Qinshui River, and stationed his horse to look back at the Zhao army.

Zhao's army is very strong. In the afternoon sun, he can see the river like ribbons and sparkling waves, and his feet are looking back. Zhao soldiers have long halberds like forests, the sound of war drums, and the neighing of nearly a thousand horses and war horses soaring into the sky. , the dust raised by the footsteps of thousands of soldiers can be seen from miles away.

Many Zhao family's diners saw their high spirits and praised in unison: "Zhao Shijun is majestic and majestic, the lord's eastward advance this time will surely pacify Handan and eliminate those who refuse to accept it!"

Zhou She, who never flattered and only persuaded him, sighed and said on the side: "Unfortunately, the fertile land on the other side is the Fan's territory, and the people there regard the Zhao family as an enemy. If you don't fight, you won't be able to pass. , then there will be a **** storm."

Zhou She's words were always unpleasant, and Zhao Yang was used to it. He manipulated his mount to wade through the water, his horse's hooves trod and trod along the Qinshui's edge, and he looked at Fan's teacher who was waiting on the other side. frowned.

That's right, the righteous division of his crusade against the clan's traitor was blocked here!

...

"The Zhao clan sent troops to conquer Handan, which declared independence from the sect, and there are two paths to choose from."

"One is to send troops from Wenxian. Cross the Qinshui River to the north, and then pass through the densely-packed cities and towns of the Fan clan to reach Handan. The second is to send troops from the eldest son of the Shangdang Basin, travel more than a hundred miles on the mountain road, and pass the control of the Fan clan in Taihang Xingkou. Mengmen Pass!"

The retainers' advice was comprehensive. Zhao Yang also chose to divide his troops into two paths, because if you went to the eldest son to transfer troops to You Wuzheng and then made a detour to Wen County, he would have to cross the Zou Road first, and then go to Taihang, which would delay a lot of time.

But no matter which one, you have to go through Hanoi.

The Hanoi area is mainly divided between Fan and Han, and the Zhao family has only one Wen County, and the newly acquired ferry Jijin.

The territorial boundary between Fan and Han is Qinshui. The Han family has two counties, Zhou and Huai, to the south of Qinshui, and Yongxian, the frontier of the Fan family, to the north of Qinshui. There are several other cities in the back, such as Fan and Gong.

"Although Han swears that he is willing to share weal and woe with the Zhao family, Han Bo has this time on the pretext that the crusade against Handan is the Zhao family's internal affairs, and he has been reluctant to send troops..." Looking at the labor porters provided by the Han family outside the tent, he said softly.

The Han family is an ally of the Zhao family. They are willing to borrow the way, they are willing to provide the Zhao family with provisions and camps, and they are even willing to let the Han family's scouts serve the Zhao family. But they are unwilling to send troops to follow, Yang Hu knows their thoughts, unless the opponent Zhong Xingshi is officially involved in the war. Otherwise, Han Buxin would not be willing to open the sword lightly.

These six ministers of the Jin Kingdom are all human beings! As expected of the elites left after two hundred years of struggle, their resourcefulness and strength are many times stronger than Sanhuan of Lu State.

Zhao Yang reluctantly said: "The head of the Han family is an experienced man who seeks the country. He has the prudence of an old man, and he is not lacking in planning..." His son Han Shen, who was stationed in the prefecture and county, only obeyed his father's orders. , the degree of Zhao's assistance is very precise, not much, not much, so you want to get more help. But he couldn't pick out anything wrong, which made Zhao Yang's teeth itch with hatred.

It would be nice if Han Hu was in charge of the prefecture and county. He and his son Wuxi made a brotherhood relationship and acted more proactively.

After several generations of marriages and alliances, there is still no guarantee that the Qing clan can take care of each other. They are more of a cooperative relationship of interests.

Fortunately, Han also assured that if Fan dared to cross the river to attack first, they would definitely help Zhao to attack Fan.

Yang Hu added: "It's the Wei family's eldest son who patted his chest before he left and said that he would definitely persuade his father to join the war, but this is the credit of the gentleman and the two sons of Wei and Han, otherwise the help and promise that the Zhao family received might not be worth it. It should be a little less. The Wei family has a grudge against the Fan family, and they are very interested in joining the attack on the Fan family, but the Wei family does not even have a small town of a hundred households in the east of Taihang, and is unwilling to transfer the main force away from Anhui. Yi, I am afraid they can only rely on them to contain the rest of the Fan's territory west of Taihang."

Zhao Yang supported the table and looked at the situation map of Liuqing above. The territory of Xi Zhao was painted bright white, "That is to say, the war in the east of Taihang can only rely on Zhao's own!"

Now the war situation in Jin is about to break out, but Zhao and Fan did not fight immediately. They faced each other across Qinshui for two days.

Regarding the advantages and disadvantages of the two sides, Yang Hu analyzed: "The Zhao family's territory is scattered, and there are two places near Xintian, Xiagong and Gengxian. The center of business is concentrated in the northwest of Jin, where there are Jinyang, Langmeng, Yu, and Mashou. , Huo Ren, etc., the land is vast, the people are sparse, and the folk customs are sturdy. It can recruit 5,000 troops, which is the main force of the Zhao family. Unfortunately, it is too far away from here. Quench your thirst."

"As for the two sides of Taihang, there are the eldest son and Wen. The lord brought 5,000 people from Jinyang, and sent a division from Wen Zheng, plus the eldest son, who threatened Mengmen's post without Zheng Shi, There are 10,000 people in total, and there are more than 7,000 people by the Qinshui River alone... But the Fan's soldiers on the other side also have this number, or even more."

As mentioned earlier, Hanoi was the place where the kings of the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties lived, and was developed by generations of ancestors for nearly a thousand years. Therefore, the population is dense, the local area is prosperous, and there are many boats and cars. It is known as "land and sea" and is one of the most elite areas in Jin.

The Fan clan occupies two-thirds of Hanoi, and there is also the old land of Yinwei Chaoge. This area is combined with six counties and ten towns, with a population of 400,000, and nearly 20,000 troops can be dispatched. It is the core of the Fan clan. Knowing that the Marquis of Jin had declared Handan a traitor to the Zhao clan, the Zhao clan could ask for it, but the Fan clan made an appearance of blocking and sent 10,000 troops to block the north bank of Qinshui and Mengmen Pass.

Zhao Yang said rather angrily: "I have already reported the matter of Fan's disobedience and obstruction to the monarch, but it is unreliable to expect Xiqigong and Zhibole to order Fan to give way. The longer the delay, the more disadvantageous it will be to Zhao. On the other side, Fan Jishe came in person. He stopped me here for one more day, and the Handan clan would be able to assemble the army more easily. Not to mention the strong soldiers of the Zhongxing clan. Although I despise Zhong Xingyin, I have to admit that his The Dongyang Power Brigade is Zhao's most terrifying enemy..."

Although the Zhao clan has reformed the military in recent years, Zhao Yang has also defeated the Qi people. He has won a very high honor, but the people of Jin have always been light, and the phalanx of the Zhongxing clan should not be underestimated... The core area of ​​the Zhongxing clan is in the Bai people, in the north of Handan. It will be a little later, but not past the end of April at the latest...

Time is running out!

The counselor Yang Yin frowned for a long time and said: "It seems that it is impossible not to fight, but if you cross the river in a hurry, it is easy to be attacked by Fan's half-crossing. If Ziliang Sima can take down Mengmen Pass, it would be good to attack Fan's teacher from behind. …”

Yang Hu shook his head and said, "It's not easy. Back then, Duke Zhuang of Qi took the Luan clan's turmoil to break the court song and climbed to Taihang, but fell into a tailspin at Mengmen Pass and could only return home. The tunnels in the Mengmen area were like silk. The winding winding, the surrounding peaks and peaks, the ravines, and the ancient narrows are known as natural dangers. Unless the people and horses grow wings, they will be difficult to cross, not to mention that there are still half-normal guards there... Now, the Han family is unwilling to take it lightly. In the war situation, if you want to break this deadlock, you can only rely on the east..."

With Yanghu's instructions. Zhao Yang and the strategists in the tent turned their attention to the east of Hanoi. The Zhao family also has a small enclave there, and the map on the other side of the river is even more striking black: that is the sign of "Dong Zhao", Linyan and Punan, which were originally the land of Wei, but now it is the Zhao family. occupied area.

"Sir is right."

Zhao Yang stroked his beard. Said with some concern.

"If I were Fan Jishe and Zhao Ji, since I blocked my main force from the front, I would definitely send a side division to attack Jijin!"

...

"As long as Jijin is captured, the so-called Dongxi Zhao is like a python that has been cut into two pieces, and the head and tail can't be echoed!"

"Really?" Handan Ji asked rhetorically. Although he was shocked to hear that after his father's death, he launched an army and rebelled against Zhao, but once the responsibility for the survival of the clan was shouldered, people became cautious.

It was still early, they set off from Chaoge, and Handan Ji's car drove in front of the team, walking with Fan He, the heir of the Fan family. Fan's 200 chariots, more than 1,000 soldiers and Handan's 5,000 mourners scattered behind them, moving slowly like a forest composed of spears, flags and geese.

"My gentleman said it well." Fan's court song Sima Liuxiang said aside. "Half of Zhao's main force is still in Jinyang, which is blocked by thousands of mountains and rivers. It is absolutely impossible to come over if there is less than a month. Just cutting off Jijin Ferry will make Zhao Wuxi on the east bank of the river unable to support Zhao Yang. If you can kill Zhao Yang alive or kill Zhao Yang, you will be able to overcome the overall situation and force the monarch to change his attitude towards Handan. The unfair judgment, with the Zhao family as the main culprit."

"This is too cheap for the Zhao family. It would be great if Zhao Wuxi could be successfully assassinated before. Once the leader is lost, the so-called Dong Zhao will definitely collapse." Fan He also said bitterly, those who died of the Fan family were him. Trained over the years.

"I just want to find justice for my father, to capture Wen County, to be able to mourn for him, cry for three days, and then take his body back and bury it in Gaogang, Handan..."

Fan He saw that Handan Ji had been sullen and knew that he was still immersed in his father's mourning, so he pretended to be sympathetic and said, "It's a pity that the guards my father gave to Handan's mourning son were transferred by the Zhao family. Who would have thought that they would He actually made such a poisonous hand..."

Handan Ji didn't want to mention this again, he stroked the black cloth tied to his forehead, looked back at the Handan masters who were entangled in the name of revenge, and said with some worry: "But, we can successfully capture it. Jijin?"

"The Zhao clan only has more than 1,000 people stationed in Jijin, and they are still on both sides of the strait. If they dare to resist, they will find their own way of death." Fan He said in his usual confident tone, "Our troops are full of his thorns. Jin six times, you can easily take this place and make Zhao Wuxi look at the river and sigh!"

As he spoke, he started gnashing his teeth again. Five years ago, his twin brother, Fan Jia, was drowned by Zhao Wuxi in the icy river in Jijin. Fan He did not forget the pain of killing his brother.

So this time, he and his father will defeat the Zhao family, and let Zhao Wuxi watch his father, brother and sister be tortured and killed one by one on the other side of the river, so that the hatred in his heart can be relieved!

"Where is Zhao Wuxi?" Although Handan Ji did not have much fear of Zhao Yang, his fight with Zhao Wuxi was only a small fight in the Pan Palace when he was young. But Handan is close to the state of Lu, and his reputation has been passed down a lot over the years. Even though he was as angry as Fan He, he had to ask a few more questions, because what he brought with him this time in the surprise attack on Jijin was half of the Handan clan. Home!

"I heard that he took a boat from Wenxian to return to Lu State to transfer troops from Wenxian half a month ago. It is a long journey, and it takes at least a month to go back and forth, including the time for conscription. You know, even the Marquis of Jin summoned all the officials from Xintian to send troops to Hanoi. Spend more than a month!"

Although Fan He made his promise, Handan Ji looked at the gradually brightening sky and felt a sudden shudder. He said, "I'm still a little uneasy..."

Fan He disagreed: "According to the news from Qi and Wei, Zhao's son's military elites dragged a lot of Lu soldiers with them, and only left the country of Lu not long ago. Even if Zhao's chariots and horses traveled all night, they would not cross the river so quickly, I believe I will never be surprised."

"Unless, he, Zhao Wuxi, has the means to fly back to Lu to report the recruitment!"

...

It was night, on the north bank of Jijin, a young nobleman stood on the pier of the ferry, looking a little tired and more looking forward to it. He was not wearing armor, but the generals behind him were all dressed neatly, and the guards in black on the left and right were also wearing armor and swords ~www.wuxiahere.com~ standing with their heads held high under the dim starlight.

Behind them, in a wider area, countless armoured soldiers were assembling on the shore, everyone kept silent, and the horses were titled, arranged in an orderly manner according to division, brigade, pawn, even, and fifth. After the formation was over, it looked extremely chilling, a stern aura like a needle-sharp snow-cold attacking the skin.

Not long after, a knight came riding on his horse, got off his saddle and said, "General, according to the scout, an enemy army came to Jijin from Chaoge! There are about six or seven thousand people."

"it is good!"

Zhao Wuxi stood under the deep cool night, looking at the Hanoi north of the river with his hands behind his back. Beneath his quiet appearance, he could not hide the turbulence in his heart.

It's finally time to start!

"Finally, there is no delay. Yang Hu's strategy of 'driving the fish out of the abyss' is good. Now, we just have to wait for the fish to enter the abyss!"

ps: The scent of blood, the thongs are put away, and there is an English degree test for the evil degree recently. I am very busy. I will do it today, and tomorrow will be two changes (to be continued.) For mobile phone users, please visit //m.ia
