Spring and Autumn I Am King

Chapter 791: Battle of Changping (middle)

ps: Chapter 2 is at night

Twenty miles west of Danshui, Guanglang City.

The Jin army base camp, which was transformed from a small town of a hundred households, was not spacious. After the representatives and generals of each family rushed in, they filled the big tent and waited for the order of the commander Zhiyao.

The war has been going on for the fourth year, the talents of Jin have withered, and the generals who are incompetent, so Zhiyao gradually stands out from a partial commander. The battle of destroying Qiuyou, the battle of Shaoshui, the battle of breaking the scorpion, the battle of pulling up the party, the battle of Taigu, and the battle of retaking the eldest son, all the victories of the Jin army were basically under his command.

His elder brother Zhixiao fought a defeat, and when he returned, he was devastated, and the two brothers decided against each other.

Therefore, my grandfather Zhibo Song responded to the public opinion and promoted him to be a high-ranking doctor, Sima of the Chinese army, acting monarch and commander-in-chief of the three armies!

It can be seen that Yao does not have the joy of being in a high position at a young age. In the past two years, the Zhao family has slowed down the offensive, and the Jin countries have had a chance to breathe, but the surrounding big net has been tightened a little bit: The Bank of China was destroyed, and the Zhongshan State became a new enemy; Zhou Shi, who was afraid of the power, accepted the call to attack Zhao; Ping, hold border negotiations with Song State.

The result is that the Zhao clan is digesting the newly conquered territory, but the Zhi clan has not been able to rest. The Taihang natural danger is already shared by both parties, and the enemy may attack at any time. The initiative of the war has completely fallen into their hands!

Sure enough, after the fall of this year, the Zhao family, whose treasury was filled with food again, finally couldn't bear it anymore. They clearly attacked the eldest son, who had changed hands several times, but in fact they deployed troops directly into the town of Hyun, intending to take the back route of the Jin army, but they knew that. Yao responded quickly, he judged Zhao's plan, and immediately assembled Shangdang's army to repel Zhao's vanguard.

However, the eldest son returned to the Zhao clan, and the Zhao army achieved the initial strategic goal. Not only did he recover the eldest son, but he also gained a firm foothold on the edge of the Shangdang Mountains. Tian Benbu, like a nail, successfully entered the Danshui Basin, which was conducive to the full battle of the large troops.

By this time, Zhiyao had realized that this trial was different from the previous small-scale efforts to contain ******, but a high-profile attack!

There were more and more police reports, and they all came from different places east of Danshui. The number of Zhao Jun banners reported by the scouts was as many as twenty divisions. As for the strength of Zhao's men, Zhiyao still did some homework on weekdays, but Zhao Wuxi is no different. There are more than 10,000 full-time soldiers in the army, and more are recruited from Hanoi, Handan, and Lu. The three armies are nearly 40,000 people, plus the first army that Han can provide, the mobile force is as much as 60,000! This does not include weaker local garrison forces.

This time, the Zhao family brought at least 50,000 people, plus 10,000 people, almost all the troops and horses under his control.

Zhiyao could be regarded as a formal experience of Zhao Jun's all-out efforts, and he began to dispatch various forces as the head coach. In general, the Zhi clan has two armies, the Wei clan has two armies, the public office has one army, the Fan clan's remnants have half an army, and the rest of the doctor's family can also make up a half army, obviously not inferior to Zhao clan, but they They had to keep people to defend, so the number of people concentrated in the Shangdang area was slightly smaller than that of Zhao Jun, only less than 50,000.

Since the strength of the troops is not as good as the opponent's, and the morale is not as good, it is a wiser decision to focus on defending. Zhiyao built a 20-mile-long barrier along the Danshui with the Danshui as the center, and the Danshui as a natural barrier. As long as the Zhao army dared to cross the river to attack. , and immediately hit it halfway.

Relying on the defense line of a river and a mountain range, it finally blocked the pace of Zhao Jun. Zhao Jun attacked many times in a month and could not advance. After several challenges, Zhiyao ignored them, so the two sides entered a two-month confrontation period. .

But as time passed, Zhiyao suddenly realized that she had been fooled. Zhao Wuxi's attack this time was a single-handed series, which was hard to guard against. When his attention was drawn to this small piece of land called "Changping", there was a big basket in the north!

It was seven days ago that I received the alarm from Jinyang. In the past seven days, three groups of messengers came to the army one after another. It turned out that Qiu You had been captured by Zhongshan, and Zhao Jun entered the Taiyuan Basin through there. He was soon defeated, and the Zhao flag was planted on the north side of Jin.

For these messengers, Zhiyao fought ruthlessly, beheading them without exception, because he wanted to stabilize the military and block the news, and this trivial matter could not trouble him.

Because he knew that the family members of the Zhi clan were okay to say that if the doctors under the account learned of the news, they would just leave in a hurry.

Although the situation has been precarious, the banner of the Marquis of Jin of Xinjiang is still there, and the main force of the Zhi clan and the Wei clan still exists. Liang Yingfu and other doctors had a deep grudge with the Zhao family. They were afraid that they would lose everything like the doctors of Lu after surrendering. Therefore, they still had the idea of ​​driving the Zhao family to the east of Taihang and taking Taihang to rule.

That's right, to promote peace through war, this is Zhishi's current hope.

"If I don't want the army to collapse without a fight, I can only fight against Zhao Wuxi in a decisive battle before the news spreads, and win this battle, drive the Zhao family to Shandong, and then withdraw troops to clean up the mess! "

But this is the decision that determines the final battle of Jin's ownership and the life and death of tens of thousands of soldiers. Although Zhiyao has risen like a comet, he is still a young man who is not in his thirties. At this moment, looking at the people who are thinking about each other under the firelight, for a while, he is a little shaken about his decision.

Someone stood up and asked him to stand back, and then used a sentence to help him make up his mind: "Ziyu (Zhiyao's word), we must fight the Zhao army, and if we drag it on, the food will be exhausted, and the army will be defeated without a fight. It's gone!"

The person closest to Zhiyao in the tent, the one who whispered these words in his ear was Wei Ju, the eldest son of the Wei family and a hostage of the Wei family who expressed his loyalty to the Marquis of Jin. With thick soft beard and eight feet tall, he has the demeanor of a generation of warriors of the Wei family.

The relationship between the Zhi clan and the Wei clan is not without Geng Jie. Two years ago, the Wei clan's small Zong Lu Xing evacuated the fleet ahead of schedule when Zhi Xiao attacked Wenxian County. Asylum can be escaped.

Zhibo Song was very angry and asked Wei Shi to give an explanation. Wei Shi blamed all the blame on Xiao Zong Linghu Bo and Lu Xing for their own opinion. One of the two was expelled and the other was reprimanded in the army, which was regarded as an explanation for Zhishi.

In order to completely dispel the suspicions of the Zhi family, Wei Hao, the head of the Wei family, took the initiative to go to Xinjiang, which was equivalent to taking the hostage in place of his son, and the Zhiwei alliance was able to continue.

It was because of these variables that Wei Ju was able to stand in the big tent, and when Zhiyao hesitated, he said these words.

"In the past two years, Zhao Wuxi took control of Mengmen and Zhuguan, constantly sent troops to the west to harass them, and used the eldest son of the empty city to lure our army to attack, draining our strength. After several repetitions, the army was exhausted and farming was delayed."

"The Zhi clan's territory in the Taihang line has very little production, but there are many good fields in Hexi. In the past two years, the military has basically been maintained by Hexitian and my Wei clan's Quwo and Anyi granaries, which have been almost consumed. Now Ziyu concentrates on five Ten thousand people on the west bank of the Danshui, hundreds of miles to feed grain, internal and external expenses, soldiers and soldiers, materials for glue and paint, car armor, thousands of stones of corn per day, the treasury is empty, and it can’t be dragged on any longer!”

"Zi Teng is right." Zhiyao nodded. He couldn't trust the Wei family, but he could only rely on them due to the situation.

Lips die and teeth are cold. This is a historical lesson left by the two countries. If they suspect each other and betray each other at this time, they will only be easily defeated by the Zhao clan and take all the Jin country. If you come to the Wei clan, you will understand this truth.

He dispelled all his hesitations. As the commander-in-chief of the army, the most taboo thing is to be constantly interrupted. Even if there is nothing wrong with Jinyang, he has no time to confront Zhao Wuxi slowly.

"However, Zhao Wuxi is afraid that he has been waiting for us to take the initiative to attack. Although we have taken advantage of the Shangdang Mountains, it is the same to the east of Danshui. To the east of Hyun's family is a mountain called Motianling, which is the commanding height of the valley. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If our army strikes rashly, it will not have an advantage, but will easily fall for Zhao Wuxi’s tricks. You have a lot of friendship with him, and you should know his tactics.”

Speaking of the "friendship" with Zhao Wuxi, Wei Ju is a little embarrassed. Wenxian Taoyuan is well known, but Han Hu is conscientiously standing by Zhao's side, but he is with the enemy of the two, and the proud Zhiyao has a relationship with him. , can not be called friendly, even now, there are still thorns in the words!

But when he thought of what the newly found retainer said, he quickly waved off a trace of displeasure, and said with a smile, "Ziyu leads the three armies in lieu of the ruling party. It's up to you to decide how to fight. I'll just follow your orders." Good! Ziteng, look at the map."

Zhiyao clicked on Danzhuling, the source of Danshui on the map, Changping, a small village in the east of Lingdong, and went all the way to Guanglangcheng and Hyunshi Eup to the south. This is the whole picture of the battlefield.

"The confrontational front is more than ten miles long from north to south, and the scouts report from north to south for half an hour~www.wuxiahere.com~ The battle situation is changing rapidly, and it is impossible to wait for the commander's order, so each camp of the Zhao army must have the right to make their own decisions during wartime."

Wei Ju nodded: "This statement is reasonable, and so is our army. What is Ziyu's plan?" "Luring the enemy to strike first!"

Zhiyao already knew that there were very few Jin generals who had not been defeated by Zhao Jun, and he was one of them.

Although their troops are not as strong as Zhao Jun, they control the traffic arteries in the Shangdang area, and they are in danger. The advantages of Zhao Jun's cavalry, which made the princes change their minds, were speed and impact, which could not be used in such a hard offensive and defensive battle. odds

Zhiyao's hand slammed on Changping again: "The scout has found out that the general of the Zhao army stationed near Changping is named Tian Ben, if we follow the strategy of the Jin army in the Battle of Chengpu to evade three homes, let Danzhuling taxis The scorpion army changed camps and made a posture of evacuation. Tian Ben likes to rush forward and will not miss it. When the Zhao army crosses the river to pursue, we will let the ambush soldiers attack from the side halfway, as a breakthrough in this battle, in one fell swoop. Attack the east of Danshui and defeat Zhao Wuxi!"
