1036 The city is in danger of breaking the army
When Hewu was trapped and fought to the death, the Fangtou King's Army had already been assembled. Hewu was only more than thirty miles away from Dongfangcheng, and there was also Qishui connection in the middle. If you really want to provide reinforcements, at least before Jiehu reinforcements arrive at Hekoujian, you can invite him to the end of Hewu city.
However, Xie Ai, who was on the central army's ship, did not drive the army to move quickly, but sat in front of the desk in the cabin, closing his eyes and sleeping. In addition to the water flow outside the ship and the sound of the sergeants gathering around the sergeants, the sound of him knocking on the desk with his fingernails echoed in the room, with a uniform and stable rhythm.
"The envoy, the six thousand troops of land and water have been assembled. Once the order is reached, he will immediately deport north!"
A moment later, Hu Runkuo, who was clearly armed with armor, entered the room and reported with his fists. He is now the Sima of Ji County and is also the deputy in charge of military affairs under Xie Ai.
After hearing this, Xie Ai nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "After finding Ma Qiu's reinforcements, we will immediately launch our army northwards without reporting."
When Hu Run heard this order, he immediately agreed with the promise. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he heard Xie Ai ask, "Houze, I will fall into a state of death with deception. From what you think, is this too evil?"
Hu Run was stunned when she heard this. Seeing Xie Ai's expression was very desolate, she realized that Xie Ai was not Dian Jun's heart that had been tempered for a long time, and she could not help but stick to such meaningless distractions. However, Xie Ai was so relieved that he was much more at ease. If he had too much power and indifferent to personnel, he would put endless pressure on people.
"A person has different positions, and good and evil are different. I am willing to use it as bait to lure the thieves. I set up a situation with the help of my soldiers, so that my soldiers can fight in the right place and avoid losing money. This is a great good deed for the prince and minister, and I am worthy of the great governor's trust."
After hearing this, Xie Ai smiled again and sighed: "I hope this battle can be achieved through full results. If Xiang Jian really has a red thought to repay me, no matter what life and death he is, I will naturally have to wait for the same reward."
The reason why he had to talk to Xiang Jian solemnly before was that he was the most important intention of strengthening his persistence. As for storing the assets in Hewu, one was to gain trust in Xiang Jian, and the other was to amplify the temptation of the bait Hewu.
The biggest problem of attacking Yecheng this time is to try to erase the advantages of Jie Kingdom's home court and field battles, and clearing up all forces around Fangtou is also one of Xie Ai's intentions.
The previous three-color flag order seemed to be a tyrant to win over these rural forces, but in fact it was also a kind of free stock. Although the royal army won brilliantly last year, it was difficult to completely digest all the results, especially in a battle environment like Hebei.
In order to avoid the loss of this part of the battle results or be used by the enemy again, Xie Aicai focused on building these village forces and even supported them, hoping to consolidate some of the scattered battle results by these people to avoid further loss. Now that the most difficult period of the King's Army has been overcome, naturally, these battle results cannot be put out and must be recovered as soon as possible.
As for the content of Xie Ai's conversation with Xiang Jian, it is actually true and false. His intention is true, but it is impossible to leave such an important thing to a bandit leader with insufficient trust and bad reputation. What's more, he knows the bottom line of the Grand Governor, and will not take the initiative to cross the line to build any private military department.
The better Xiang Jian manages in Hewu, the more people want him to die, including Xie Ai. But Xie Ai cannot take action himself, because Xiang Jian grew stronger based on the three-color flag order he issued. It would be fine if he didn't believe in his personal words. If this affects the overall image of the King of Kings in Hebei, it would be undoubtedly a major mistake.
To achieve the goal of dismantling the forces in the countryside and not harming their own image, then we can only use it to others to expose our evils, and at the same time we must seize one or two positive examples in it and promote it. This is one of the goals that Xie Ai has done recently, so Xie Ai has put a lot of effort into this battle, from the smallest to the largeest to the power dispatch, and has already planned and laid the foundation since the beginning.
Hewu is not only a goal that the people in the country are paying attention to, but also a scene of struggle between the north and the south. As long as Ma Qiu enters the game, Xie Ai will prompt him to increase his bargaining chips again and again, and eventually reach a level where he cannot step down.
Just like the previous news from Hewu, Jie Hu invaded the territory and failed in the first battle. Ma Qiu personally sent someone to take action, but even a wall attached to Fangtou could not be solved. If the person gave up, his reputation in Hebei would be gone!
When Ma Qiu added more investment, Xie Ai also had to have chips to enter the game to maintain a balance of the situation. But he didn't care about the outcome of the situation at all, because he was not fighting alone. His real killer moves and intentions were not in this, and he was always Yecheng.
As Xie Ai expected, when Ma Qiu sent reinforcements to Hewu again, whether this wall could be conquered has attracted great attention. He has invested so much, and it is even more unmissable. Hewu's tenacity makes him unable to guess Xie Ai's intentions, but he has one advantage, that is, the maneuverable force that can be used still has an absolute advantage.
In the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy will become pale and powerless. This is an ironclad fact!
Since we can't guess Xie Ai's intentions, we might as well work harder on manpower. Therefore, after sending reinforcements, Ma Qiu increased the intensity of the scouts' external dispatch. In order to avoid the scouts being encircled and suppressed again, the organization of each team was expanded to fifty or sixty people.
Of course, Ma Qiu would not ignore the issue of physical energy consumption of soldiers. Fortunately, at this moment, where he was stationed, he was not far from Yecheng base camp, and he arranged and dispatched one after another, ensuring that a full-body new force could be put into combat at any time.
Of course, such frequent mobilizations will cause a certain degree of panic to Yecheng, but if the real danger can be nipped in the bud, what is this?
In the second half of the night, conclusive news came from Liyang, just south of Yecheng. The southerners did make unusual moves. A fleet of more than a dozen warships suddenly left the Liyang camp and came north along the river.
"Xie Ai is really a treacherous man. He first set up a strong fort near the border to tempt it, and then lure the wild people into chaos. The many cover-ups are nothing more than to make our army far away and create a virtual fighter for him!"
After receiving this letter, Ma Qiu was not panicked, but instead breathed a sigh of relief. After filling in this link, his speculation about Xie Ai's actions finally came true. The strategy seen through was no longer possible to make mistakes, and Ma Qiu even thanked Ai for being poor in skills. At least in terms of tricks, it was not enough to make him into the trap.
However, seeing through Xie Ai's intentions does not mean that the crisis has been lifted. Moreover, Ma Qiu is not satisfied with this passive response at all. He hopes to give Xie Ai a fierce counterattack and let him suffer the pain of tricks!
It is difficult to make a judgment at night when Li Yang deployed his troops. So after thinking about it, Ma Qiu first sent all 2,000 cavalry under his command to the south, staring at this so-called surprise attack army along the river, and once the other party drifted, he would kill him!
As for Ma Qiu himself, he led a hundred personal soldiers back to Yecheng to take charge of the base camp. The most important thing he is to keep a stable and hope for merit, first ensure the safety of Yecheng's town, and then seek greater merit.
Although Ma Qiu retreated to Yecheng, it did not mean that he had given up his attention to the Hewu war. He sent an envoy again to order: "Xie Ai, who is treacherous and impermanent, first use Hewu as bait to lure our army into partiality. In fact, the secret ambushing moves in the south have been seen. The soldiers of Hewu must strictly investigate the surrounding areas and do not let the thieves take advantage of it. They can surround the formation and attack the reinforcements, and do not fight in a stalemate. As for the matter of attack, all the people in the village should do their best!"
Ma Qiu realized Xie Ai's treacherousness and did not think that the frontline supervisor would be able to surpass Xie Ai in strategy, so he made many instructions, for fear of mistakes, and strictly ordered soldiers who were too seriously injured by Xie Ai's bewitching will be severely punished!
He would never tolerate himself being defeated by his own hands and ridicule him for his colleagues. Even if he gave up because of his conservatism, he would not feel a pity.
After the war between the two sides started, because there was no restraint and harassment from the villagers, Ma Qiu's mobility was maximized and communication became smooth. Almost every half an hour, new military information would be sent back.
With the order from Ma Qiuer to express his order, the war ahead also went very smoothly. The Jiehu reinforcements found reinforcements from Fangtou on the Qishui in advance, and they had already formed obstacles in a river bay. The situation of being lonely and trapped in Hewu has been established, and it is a matter of time to conquer.
And this time did not make Ma Qiu wait too long. When the war broke out on the evening of the fourth day, Hewu was finally conquered. Xiang Jian died in the battle at the top of the city, while another part of the remnants broke out when the city was broken and was flowing upstream of the Qi River.
During this process, Fangtou sent several reinforcements, and now he is trapped in the Qishui River, nearly ten thousand people have been trying to break through the blockade of the Jie army, but the impact has been fruitless.
There is a problem now that Hewu’s seizure is too amazing and rich. The grain alone is nearly 100,000 hu of rice and grain, and the reserves of other goods are also amazing! With such a huge amount of capital, the frontline combatants were shocked!
In fact, not only the frontline personnel, even Ma Qiu was shocked when he heard this amazing number. You should know that he had been in Yecheng for a long time and had been living a hard life. It was not easy for him to raise a military force. He also had to be responsible for supervising Jianyecheng, and even had to eat a grain of grain of grain in half.
However, Hewu is just attached to a dock wall under the Fangtou. How could it be that such an amazing quantity of goods could be stored?
After this question arose in his mind, Ma Qiu subconsciously put himself in Xie Ai's sinister intention to imagine it for a little while, and suddenly burst into a cold sweat: Xie Ai was confused by goods and goods, not only those short-sighted villagers, but even counted him in the situation. He wanted to use these goods to trap his army, so that he would willingly give up the advantage of cavalry and die of food protection!
Thinking of this, Ma Qiu was already shocked and no longer dared to sit behind him. He immediately ordered: "Order the Hewu soldiers to take away as much as the goods can be taken away without affecting the military operation. If they cannot, burn them on the spot!"
Although Ma Qiu has already issued an order, he also knows that wealth is moving. If only his soldiers will fall into this battle, the villagers are willing to sit down and see such a huge sum of resources burned out?
You should know that during the battle, Ma Qiu's army was mainly responsible for blocking reinforcements. The people who really lost their troops and killed Hewu were the villagers. If they ignored the public's feelings and burned them, it is very likely that both sides would directly strife in Hewu!
The reinforcements in Fangtou were unable to advance before, so they were really just blocked? Or they were just waiting for the moment to conquer their strength and annihilate them?
"Xie Aizhi's plan, it's what he thinks!"
After discovering that Li Yang sent troops, Ma Qiu thought he had already learned about Xie Ai's sinister intentions, but he did not expect that the real killing move was buried after the breaking of Hewu City!
So after issuing that military order, he realized something was wrong. In order to avoid internal strife on the front line, he was ready to lead the crowd to reinforce. But if even he was dispatched, how could he be satisfied with burning most of the resources?
After a little pondering, Ma Qiu ordered people to closely monitor the movements of the Jin army in Li Yang, and he took all the remaining troops and ordered people to carry a large number of cars and horses to transport all the Hewu goods back.
Now there are still 4,000 cavalry left in Yecheng, and the Hewu army and the villagers are nearly 10,000 in the field. Even if Xie Ai has any tricks, he dares to attack the nearly 10,000 cavalry in the field at will?
