Spring and Autumn I Am King

"I thought that Zhao Wuxi's soldiers were as powerful as they boasted, and they were invincible across the world, but it was actually just that."

After Jijin repelled the Zhao soldiers who had crossed the river, beheaded a thousand soldiers and captured two thousand, Zhong Xingyin felt that he had avenged Zhao Wuxi's death by using an empty city as a cover, and he was immediately complacent.

However, Gao Qiang poured a ladle of cold water on him: "My lord, the servants asked around among the prisoners. Among them, Zhao Wuxi's elite soldiers are very few, most of them are the so-called Zhongjun and Zuojun of Lu. There were more than 1,000 casualties in Zhan Wu and the others, and this is only his partial division, Zhao's fighting strength should not be underestimated..."

"I know..." Zhong Xingyin calmed down a little and nodded. In particular, the cunning army of loach-like soldiers looked like a group of unorganized rabble, but they fought a lot of tricks, and finally broke through the siege and fled along the river bank beaches and reeds.

He asked: "Fan was attacked from both sides by the Qinshui River and was defeated. Although we won a game here, the main force of the Fan has lost nearly half of the team. The gentleman thinks that I, the Bank of China, should be next. How to deal with the enemy?"

Gao Qiang said: "Fan Bo went north to Fan and Gong. I think that the Zhao army will soon come to the city. Fan Bo sent a letter for help. In the current situation, if there is no Fan, there will be no Zhongxing clan! The lord will save Fan Bo! Stay on the north bank of the Great River. Point someone to look at Zhao Bing on the south bank, and then lead Chaoge Fan Bing to the west, and you must arrive before Zhao Bing attacks the mortal and the total!"

"Someone suggested that the two cities of Fan and Gong could not be conquered for one and a half hours. They said that I might as well return to Chaoge and wait for the rainy season to bring down Zhao's spirit..."

Gao Qiang objected: "This is avoiding the war, it will make the Zhongxing clan lose their spirits, and finally break the rumor that the Zhao army is invincible, how can it be so wasteful? Yes, the Zhao clan wants to fight quickly, because there is still knowledge in the country. Bo waits and sees, while abroad, Zhao Wuxi has only been in Lu for a few years. I learned from the mouths of the captured Dongdi doctors that although the Lu people received his small favors, they were not convinced. Once he was in Jin for a long time. Stay. The country of Lu may change. Besides, he had a grudge against Qi and Wei before, and if it drags on for a long time, war will start in the east."

Bank of China Yin puzzled: "Since the long battle is not good for the Zhao family, why not follow this strategy and hold them back?"

"My lord. Not only the Zhao clan can't afford it, but I, the Zhongxing clan, can't afford it either!"

"What do you mean by that?"

Gao Qiang said: "The Zhao family is worried about foreign countries, but Fan and Bank of China are worried about the domestic situation. Zhibo's attitude is ambiguous. The monarch is now biased towards the Zhao family and supports them in their crusade against Handan..."

"This old thief..." Zhong Xingyin cursed his cousin Zhibo fiercely, "I swore before that I knew that the Bank of China is still a family, and if there is a conflict with outsiders, I will definitely support it, but now I forget it? ?"

Gao Qiang sighed: "Zhibo can't figure it out. I can't tell that he is determined to help the Zhao family, but we can't expect too much. I'm more worried about the Wei and Han families, who are east of Taihang. We don't have much power, but to the west of Taihang, it can create a lot of trouble for Fan and Zhonghang's territory. Once Wei and Han send a large army to support the Zhao family, by then, my family will be gone. So we can only take advantage of the strength of our troops. Give it a try, and hope to defeat the Zhao clan in the battle! Don't give them the chance to make a surprise attack!"

As far as Gao Qiang is concerned, he feels that the elites of the Zhao clan may be similar to those of the Bank of China. The Muye battle and the Qinshui battle were able to easily defeat the Fans, both by grabbing the offensive opportunity. If there was a dignified battle between the two armies, the victory or defeat would be unknown.

As such. The battlefield is almost determined, that is, the area of ​​Fan and Gong.

However, when more than 10,000 Central Bank troops and 5,000 Chaoge Fan soldiers set off westward and arrived at their destination, they were shocked to hear that the Fan family had retreated all the way.

When I was shocked to hear this news. Gao Qiang was so angry that he slammed the car fence on the car, and sighed up to the sky: "Fan Bo and Wang Sheng are confused, Fan, the south and the north, are the inside and outside of each other, and they are indispensable. In this way, the Zhao family has the city of Fan. As a way of retreat, even if we win, we cannot completely defeat it; Gongcheng has become the last obstacle to Zhao's road to Chaoge, if we lose, Fan's Hanoi will probably fall!"

...

The two cities of Fan and Gong stand on the Hanoi Plain, looking at Taihang in the west and the main road of Chaoge in the east.

The city of Fan is in the south. This is the old country of Fan Bo, the son of Zhou Gong. It still survived until the early Spring and Autumn Period, and then perished in the wave of annexation by the princes.

The Gongcheng is in the north. It was originally the city of Weiguo. The unworthy younger brother of Duke Zheng Zhuang, son Duan, went to the Communist Party and was called "Uncle Duan".

But now, they are all the county towns of the Fan family.

Like Muyi, these two cities are barriers to defend Chaoge. Fan Jishe and Wang Sheng abandoned Fancheng, in fact, they had their own difficulties.

Zhao Wuxi took 3,000 forwards and pursued Fan Ji as he fled north. He fought more than ten small battles along the way, rushing the militia recruited by Fan's sect, and captured many townships, lilu and Fan. Ji She was a bit startled.

In addition, the Han family had already participated in the war, and the army of Zhao and Han Wanyu followed closely behind, aggressively coming. After Fan Jishe escaped into Fancheng, he was still in shock. Seeing that the walls of Fanyi were just rammed earth, they were only two feet high, and there was not even an urn city. Decisively, he took his soldiers and soldiers and fled away in the night, just like when he abandoned Yongyi, leaving only a few people to stop Zhao Jun's footsteps.

Robber Zhi was committed to committing crimes and made meritorious deeds, and asked for orders to attack the city. Zhao Jun used him as the forward and took Fan City in one day and night. In this way, he had another aggressive base.

However, the treasury in the city was burned, the well was filled, and their supply line was stretched for dozens of miles. The Gongcheng is no less than Fan City, it is the fortress city that Fan's key management, and the outer wall is also covered with bricks, so it can't be captured without a lot of effort.

What's more, the army of the Zhongxing clan has also arrived, and they lie between the two cities of Fan and Gong.

The two armies were evenly matched, and they were both here for the first time. In addition, after a day or two of rain, they did not dare to move lightly.

After two days of confrontation, they started a tentative attack.

On this day, the rain was beginning to clear, and Zhao Wuxi climbed the towers of Fanfan, looking at the city from afar, and saw that there were enemy soldiers inside and outside the city.

He asked Xiang Lu next to him, "You are young and have good eyesight~www.wuxiahere.com~ Can you see how the Zhongxing's arrangement is?"

The clever Xiang Lu has also read a lot of military books: it is rumored that it was written by Taigongwang, and he has dabbled in the Sima Fa he bought from Qi State with a lot of money. Under the eyes, can also counselor military aircraft. However, Zhao Wuxi has always been more derogatory than compliments to him. This son is proud of his personality and has extremely high talents. He does not want to cultivate a Yang Xiu.

Xiang Lu looked around and said, "There must be some of the vassals of the Zhongxing clan who are sensible in military affairs and know the principle of 'defending the city must guard the wild'. More than 10,000 people are stationed outside the city, forming an horn with the city."

That's right, the Bank of China also dug a trench outside the camp, and the fence inside the trench was towering, which looked very similar.

"We set up camp, it seems that Bank of China Yin has gained a lot of confidence after winning the Jijin battle. He wants to have a dignified confrontation with us." Zhao Wuxi sneered:

"However, the Zhongxing clan still lacks experience in dealing with our army. They don't know that the Zhao clan's military pawns can be both extraordinary and righteous!"
