In ancient times, the Yellow River branched off into many tributaries in the lower reaches of the shock plain during the process of injecting eastward into the sea. In the Yu Dynasty, there were nine branches in the lower reaches of the great river, just as the "Yu Gong" said "the nine rivers are the road", they are Tuhai, Taishi, Majia, Furong, Husu, Jian, Jie, Goupan, and Gejin Nine.

At the time of Yin, Zhou, Spring and Autumn, with the sudden cooling and warming of the climate, the nine rivers either dried up, changed their course, or disappeared, leaving only one east and one west. They are separated in the lower reaches of Jijin, and the narrow and long area in the middle, which is about the size of Lu State, is called Hejian Land. It was originally the territory of the Zhonghang clan, but in the war last year, most of it was stolen by the Chen clan. , only a few towns at the southern end were occupied by the attacking and defending Zhao army, but only as a bridgehead to guard against the Chen family.

At the beginning of March, Zhao Wuxi, who had already surrounded Diqiu and tried to attack it twice, learned from the scouts that Chen's 10,000 troops had crossed the river from Hejian to the west and entered the area occupied by Zhao.

Of the two remaining rivers in the "Nine Rivers", the East River is the main road, and the West River is the fork, so the river is shallow and it is easier to cross.

Even so, Zhao Wuxi was still amazed by Chen's plan, and it was probably his old friend Chen Heng who could come up with this idea.

"Chen Zichang is really cunning. When I attacked Chaoge, he didn't rescue him. When I went north to Zhongmu, he didn't take it. When I broke Handan, he didn't move. Grab Hejiandi, but it is considered that he has the vision and made the choice with the least effort but the most profit."

Standing in front of the tall catapult with its skeleton built, Zhao Wuchen smiled and said this to Fan Chi, who was transporting the baggage and grain from Lu.

After being a large farmer in Lu for several years, Fan Chi has become more mature and stable, but in this special period of wartime, he has also brought into play his ability to lead troops, and has transformed Xilu's peasants. , became the grain collection team and the baggage team.

He followed Ran Qiu to lead soldiers. Therefore, I have a certain understanding of the strategic military force, so I took the words and said: "Hejian is in the north of the Yan Kingdom, and the south is close to the river, the economy, and the water and land. Now that the Chen clan has seized it first, Handan's belly is equivalent to opening up to them."

"Yes, he saw the timing of my main force coming to defend the country, like a hungry wolf smelling meat. He hurriedly crossed the Hexi."

Fan Chi said with some worry: "The Chen Clan is heading west, and Handan and other places have just been controlled by the general for a few months, and people's hearts are still not very stable. If they are counterattacked by the remnants of the Chen Clan's Zhongxing Clan, wouldn't last year's hard work be in vain? What's more, if Handan is lost, the enemies at the east and west ends of the general will be able to connect through Xingdi and Fukou, and then the Zhao family will really be surrounded!"

Zhao Wuxi told him not to worry, "Don't worry, Zichi, how could Handan be so easy to capture?"

"Although I brought the main force out, there are still 5,000 people stationed in Handan and Xingdi. The horse head doctor Zhao Yi also led a division to stay in Zhongmu, and can assist at any time. With these forces alone, there is no problem in self-protection. ."

Having said that, Handan is relatively empty. The problem is that the Zhao clan fought on multiple fronts and their troops were stretched thin. In addition to professional soldiers and cavalry soldiers, the soldiers who were recruited last year were released to go back to spring plowing. In February, he was recruited again immediately. At the same time, locals from Hanoi and Handan were also forced into the army.

Fortunately, Handan is relatively stable in several newly conquered areas. After all, Zhao Wushi uprooted the old forces of the Handan clan, and by the way improved the political and economic status of the surrendered soldiers. If Chen's and Bank of China counterattack. The land that those people just got may not be kept. They should stand on Zhao's side to defend Handan.

Fan Chi's expression brightened: "So the general doesn't plan to return to the division?"

Zhao Wuxi said: "The reason why the Chen clan went to Handan was to induce me to give up attacking Emperor Qiu, they were worried that if Wei Guo was taken over by me, Chen clan's Yiyi and Gaotang would be exposed within the attack distance of my cavalry. "

Fan Chi suddenly realized: "So it is." Although he can fight, his temperament is still a little more honest. You can be a military officer, but not a commander-in-chief.

Wu Xun smiled and said: "Not to mention Chen Zichang has a good idea, but he doesn't even look at who is guarding Handan? Youzi Liang Sima who taught me to march and fight! If you want to take Handan lightly, Chen Heng is probably overestimating his weight. I'm afraid that he thought he picked up a soft persimmon, but he actually hit the iron plate with his head!"

"That being the case, the general can focus on conquering Diqiu."

Fan Chi was relieved now. You didn't have the right skills. He saw the attack on Jixi during the five hundred li attack. He was the most capable general in Zhao's army.

"What is true is what is true, what is true is what is false. Chen Zichang's attack on Handan is both true and false. On the one hand, it can attract me to return to the teacher. If I don't return, he can attack the city over there. And my siege of Emperor Hill is true and false. , if the main force of the Qi army does not come, the country will not be protected, if it does, I will fight to the death with them on this mulberry puddle!"

As the head coach, Zhao Wuxi knew very well what the current strengths and weaknesses of Zhao Jun were. The advantage was the winning streak, and the high morale overwhelmed the complaints of long-term recruitment. And there are more cavalry, not afraid of field battle. The disadvantage is that he is surrounded by the enemy on all sides, and his troops are stretched. If it is dragged on for a long time, it will be disadvantageous.

Only in this way can the victory continue, instead of being exhausted and exhausted after a few years of confrontation.

In particular, what Zhao Wuxi was most worried about was not the Chen clan, but Jin and Lu, who were located on the west and east of the front: Zhi clan and Wei clan have been consolidating their territory in the past year, and then slowly pushed towards Zhao Han. , their strength is particularly strong, or in other words, after annexing the power of Fan and Bank of China in the west of Taihang ~www.wuxiahere.com~ has become even stronger!

As for the State of Lu, Zhao Wuxi had absolute authority in the State of Lu, but in the year he left, he made a lot of troubles. In last year's offensive, although there was no loss of ground, the autumn harvest was delayed. , food shortages in many places this year. It was also thanks to Zhang Mengtan Hehuhui, Zai Yu, Ran Qiu and others that they did their best to allow Lu to maintain the situation until he marched east.

But Qi State launched another offensive in mid-February, and it was aggressive. Zhao Wuxi was worried about how long Lu State would last.

So he wished that the Marquis of Qi would turn around and bring his army of 40,000 to 50,000 people. Chen Heng wanted to "encircle Handan to save the Wei", and Zhao Wuxi was also "encircling the guards to save Lu"...

However, it has been almost a month since he entered the Wei Kingdom. The Zhao army was very noisy, and even the pseudo-weihou had supported one, and Diqiu had entered the countdown to his demise. But on the Qihou side, there was no sign of support from the west. Qihou and his general Guogao seemed to have other plans. Could it be that there were also experts in the Qi army who saw through Zhao Wuxi's plan to surround him with help?

Thinking of this, Zhao Wuxi said to Fan Chi, who was in trouble, "Zi Chi, you have just come from the State of Lu, and tell me about the current situation of the State of Lu."

Only then did Fan Chi bow down, with a serious expression on his face, he talked about his business this time, other than transporting the baggage.

"To let the general know that the Qi army's spring offensive was extremely violent, and in areas without military guards, it was almost defeated like a chicken and a dog. Just in the front line of Mount Tai, there were some cities that surrendered, and some doctors who fled without fighting. , there are people who plan to betray, and the internal situation of Lu is not stable, and the people of the country and scholars all hope that the general can return as soon as possible!"
