Chapter 447: Double Kings of Qin(1/2)
In June of the fifth year of the Great Xia calendar, the Qin army in Longnan began to gather in Longshan, and teams of black armored Qin troops were constantly on the road.
Under the command of Daliang Zhuang Shang Yang, officials of Qin State conscripted young and strong cities from various cities and transported food and grass to the two battlefields of Longshan and Helanshan.
In the strategy of the Qin King, pacifying the Hexi Corridor was not to attack the Western Regions, but to stabilize the rear and then annex Guanzhong.
It took more than four years for the King of Qin to defeat the heroes of Xiliang, which took longer than the King of Qin expected.
Longshan, the Qin army's camp, Wang Ben led his troops to meet other military generals coming from the rear.
The Meng family troops led by Meng Ao, Meng Wu, Meng Tian and Meng Yi arrived in the Longshan area one after another and set up defenses along Longshan.
Not only the Meng family army, but Wang Jian's Wang family army operated with the Meng family army.
The Golden Fire Cavalry, the armor-piercing soldiers of hundreds of battles, escorted several of the carriages into Wang Ben's camp.
Wang Ben was just the leader, and before the war began, he stabilized the morale of the army.
A white-bearded veteran got off one of the carriages.
The real chief general of the Qin army in Longshan was Wang Jian, a veteran general who was established by Lao Chong!
"Sir, Father."
Wang Ben personally welcomed the veteran Wang Jian.
Wang Jian has experienced many battles, a steady style, and one word of military use is to be stable, which is so stable that it is outrageous.
"Can the Xia army guarding Chen Cang and Qishan have any movement during this period?"
Wang Jian glanced at the military generals Wang Ben, Meng Mingshi and others who were guarding Longshan in advance.
Wang Ben replied respectfully: "A single move moves the whole body, and neither side dares to make a big fight."
"This time, I will ask your Wang family and Meng family to help defeat the powerful enemy. If you obtain this wealthy land in Guanzhong, you will be able to wipe out all the countries in the future."
On another carriage, a young man appeared, which surprised the Qin generals such as Wang Ben and Meng Mingshi.
In the Qin army camp, there were two Jinyiwei who were mixed into it, secretly observing the arrival of the Qin army.
"The person who arrived should be Wang Jian, a veteran of Qin. He is one of the four famous generals of the Warring States Period. He is famous for his steadiness. If he is an enemy, he will be tortured by his calm style and eventually reveal his flaws."
"This is a terrible guy second only to the killing god Bai Qi."
"He has a full range of armor-piercing soldiers around him, so he is definitely not that active. Assassination is not feasible."
"Wait, why is there another big figure from Qin State coming? Could it be the young master Fusu?"
"It seems that it's not Mr. Fusu... It's not good, the information is wrong, and the new information must be sent back to the rear as soon as possible!"
Two Jinyiwei disguised as Qin army whispered, and were startled by the new information found.
Suddenly, in the darkness, a swordsman appeared and the sword light flashed. The two Jinyiwei had no time to react, and the stools splattered blood on the spot!
"What happened?!"
The Qin soldiers around him quickly surrounded him and saw a swordsman killing two Qin Ruis.
Meng Yi stopped everyone: "This swordsman is my disciple. And the two who were killed are scouts who were mixed into your camp. Don't make a fuss."
Wang Ben frowned: "I didn't expect that the Xia army's infiltration into us was so serious. Scouts were infiltrating into our army, but it was difficult to detect it."
Meng Yi said indifferently: "These scouts are good at disguising and should be elite scouts of the Xia army. It may not be difficult to hide from ordinary people's eyes. However, it is difficult to hide from first-class assassins, and their eyes will reveal everything."
Meng Yi waved his hand and the swordsman disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Wang Qing, this is not your fault. Zhang Hua is the most powerful enemy Gu has encountered. Compared with that, the monarchs of the six kingdoms are like pig dogs. However, it is precisely because of this that Gu finds it interesting."
The young nobleman was behind his hands and was not moved by the two scouts involved in the camp.
Meng Yi's disciples had already taken action to kill these two scouts who had mixed into the Qin army, which was equivalent to getting rid of the eyeliner that Zhang Hua set up in the Qin army. This was a good thing.
"Where is the Di man Fu Jian?"
The young nobleman looked at the generals present, and the Di tribe, Fu Jian, the king of the former Qin Dynasty.
Wang Jian replied: "Fu Jian was ordered to go to recruit Qiang people, the 72 Di tribes, and came to Longshan to participate in the war. Qiang people and Di tribes are numerous and scattered, so it will take some time to delay. I carefully calculated that Fu Jian was almost here."
The young nobleman frowned slightly: "Fu Jian has ambitions, but he was defeated by Gu, so he surrendered. If he does not respect the king's order, he will kill him."
"Report! Fu Jian, the leader of the Di people, led the 72 troops of Qiang and Di, less than thirty miles away!"
At this time, the Qin army scouts kept working and heard news that the Qiang and the seventy-two tribes of Di participated in the war.
Meng Yi said: "The Qiang and Di tribes have 72 populations, the largest ones have hundreds of thousands, and the smallest ones have scattered thousands. They live in the mountains and grazed in Qinghai Lake. Fu Jian, who is capable of appeaseing the 72 tribes, is really a hero."
The young nobleman said: "It's not just Fu Jian's own ability. You have all ignored Fu Jian's planner - Wang Jingluo. This person is the real terrible opponent."
"Wang Jingluo..."
Meng Tian, Wang Ben, Meng Mingshi and other Qin generals had limited insights into this person.
However, the King of Qin had a very high evaluation of Wang Jingluo.
Fu Jian hurried to the Qin army camp with his lord Wang Jingluo, as well as a group of leaders of the Qiang and Di tribes.
"Submitted general Fu Jian, pay homage to the King of Qin!"
Fu Jian and Wang Jingluo saw the young noble son and quickly saluted.
Seeing this, the leaders of the Qiang tribe, the five major and three thick Qiang tribes also saluted.
Fu Jian was secretly shocked when he saw the luxurious lineup of the Qin army gathered in Longshan.
The Qin army gathered in great wars, and the movements this time were even greater than sweeping across the Hexi Corridor.
Chen Cangcheng, the five thousand vine armored soldiers trained in Shangzhou, were transported from the rear and arranged in Feng Yi's army.
These five thousand vine armored soldiers are high-level soldiers trained by mountain barbarians in the Qinling Mountains.
Not only did the Qin army use barbarian soldiers to participate in the war, but the Xia army also recruited a group of barbarian soldiers to serve as cannon fodder.
Five thousand vine armored soldiers are no longer considered cannon fodder according to their grade.
At critical moments, vine armored soldiers may have a strange use.
"The appearance of King Wu of Qin on Helan Mountain means that the main attack direction of the Qin army was not Longshan, but Helan Mountain."
"No, most of the Qin army resting in Longxi came to Longshan, and there was also veteran Wang Jian in charge. It seemed that the main attack direction of the Qin army was Longshan. Following Longshan, you can drive straight into Guanzhong and go straight to Chang'an."
At the Xia Army Camp, the generals and counselors of Feng Yi and Wu Qi were arguing endlessly.
The Qin army's actions were a bit strange.
On the one hand, the Qin army in Helan Mountain was dominated by King Wu of Qin.
On the other hand, the Qin army in Longshan was dominated by Wang Jian.
It is difficult to judge the real direction of the Qin army's main attack.
Wu Qi stared at the mountains and rivers in Xiliang and Guanzhong, fell into deep thought, and made his own judgment: "Although King Wu of Qin was in Helan Mountain, the main attack direction of the Qin army was still Chen Cang. And..."
Feng Yiqi said: "What else can I find?"
Wu Qi frowned: "There is one thing that I can't figure out. King Wu of Qin pursued Ma Chao and disappeared for two months, but the Qin army still operated step by step without any confusion."
Wei Wuji said: "The Qin law is strict, with ministers such as Shang Yang to manage internal affairs, and generals such as Wang Jian to command soldiers. Even if the king disappears for several months, it will not affect the operation of Qin. There is nothing strange about this."
In the era of Wei Wuji, Qin was at its peak and was invincible. That is, Wei Wuji, Xiang Yan, and Li Mu were able to gain advantage in the hands of the Qin army.
Wei Wuji did not think that the disappearance of King Wu of Qin would have an impact on the war machine of Qin.
"Things are not that simple. Just imagine, how could a king of a country go deep into the desert to pursue the enemy generals, regardless of the national affairs?"
"In addition, every time King Wu of Qin fought, he personally charged in battle, regardless of danger."
"During this period, King Wu of Qin was stationed in Helan Mountain, but the Qin army was still operating as usual."
"It seems that King Wu of Qin's behavior is not like a monarch, but more like a... a general."
Wu Qi made a inference based on the clues found.
"How is this possible!"
Feng Yi, Ma Wu, Zhao Ponu, Wei Wuji and others were all shocked by Wu Qi's inference.
King Wu of Qin is actually just a military general?!
To the east of Helan Mountain, after Zhang Hua was surrendered by Ma Chao, he sent troops to attack the remaining cities of the Xixia people, gradually approaching Helan Mountain, and confronting the Qin army stationed in Helan Mountain.
Zhuge Liang, located in the Central Plains, is training Zhuge crossbow soldiers.
At the same time, after understanding the situation in Guanzhong, Zhuge Liang deduced the future and wrote a letter to warn Zhang Hua to be more careful.
"In Zhuge Kongming's letter, he believed that there were many imperial stars in Xiliang..."
Zhang Hua gave Wang Shouren a look with Zhuge Liang's letter.
Zhuge Liang met at night to observe the celestial phenomena.
King Wu of Qin and Fu Jian, these great figures are accompanied by the Emperor Star.
If the emperor star is bright, it means that the luck is in full swing.
The weak Emperor Star means that it is in a difficult situation.
To be continued...
