One hundred and eighty-one mantises catch cicadas and oriole behind
Tens of thousands of soldiers were like walking on the blade. Cao Cao did not dare to be careless at all. While urging the army to move quickly, he sent a large number of scouts to spy on the movements of the Jin army.
A large number of Tang troops entered the territory of Jin. Although they had been advancing along the edge of the northern foot of Wangwu Mountain, they could not hide the eyes of the Jin border troops and reported to Quwo as quickly as possible.
Half a month ago, Han general Bao Yuan was defeated by Wei Wuji. Han retreated in a panic and the siege of Daliang was then lifted.
On the Zhao State, Lian Po was stubbornly blocked by Jin Bi and Leyang near Ye County, and he was unable to win the battle. However, Zhao She, Zhao Kuo and his son captured the empty Qinghe and Guantao seven counties, and the news spread frequently along the way.
Seeing that the Zhao army attacked Wei in a large scale and it was difficult to break through Jiang Pass, the Jin army at the two checkpoints of Chiyang rushed to the east and crossed the Taihang Mountains to launch an attack on Zhao State.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhao Yong hurriedly ordered Lian Po and Zhao She to withdraw their troops.
Anyway, this time the attack on Wei also captured more than 200 miles of land, seven county towns, and nearly 300,000 people. It was a great harvest. It was time to stop when the opportunity arose.
Seeing that the Zhao army retreated, the Jin army did not continue to attack. Xian Zhen, Wei Chou, Bi Wan and others had to withdraw their troops one after another, retreating from Jingxing and Fu, but the main army was still east of Taihang and had not yet completely retreated to the country.
After this, the Wei State suffered a crushing defeat and its vitality was greatly damaged.
More than 50,000 troops and the number one general Pang Juan were lost in the military, and seven counties including Qinghe and Guantao were lost on the land, with a population of 300,000. In a short period of time, they were unable to compete with the powerful Zhao State.
Weis had no choice but to accept the suggestion of Prime Minister Li Kui and leave Leyang. Jin Bi led 80,000 soldiers to guard Ye County, Wei County, Yangping and other important northern towns. He took all the civil and military officials from Ye City and returned to the ancient capital Daliang.
After a big battle, the four strong men of Jin, Zhao, Han and Wei gained and lost, but the situation was still stalemate, and the territory was intertwined, and no one dared to act rashly anymore, entering a temporary tranquility.
Unexpectedly, the Tang State, surrounded by enemies, was not honest at all. As soon as the Wei and Jin siege were resolved, they took the initiative to send troops into Jin State, which forced the Jin State to admire the courage of the Tang State's monarch and ministers.
It's just a group of war dealers!
Damn, is it still over?
After receiving the news, Jin Guizhu immediately summoned his civil and military personnel to discuss countermeasures: "My dear friends, according to the border edict, a Tang army of about 20,000 people recently entered Chiyang, but did not conquer the city and territories, but went west along the foot of Wangwu Mountain. What do you think the Tang army intends?
As soon as Jin Guizhu finished speaking, the doctor Xun Xi stood up and said, "Lord, based on the movements of the Tang army's previous garrison Wenxi, the Tang army entered the country this time, and it was probably to avoid the Liang army in Luming Valley and use my way to attack Liang."
After Xun Xi finished speaking, all the civil and military officials of the court agreed: "What Doctor Xun said is very true. The Tang army entered the country with only 20,000 people. I think it was not for the purpose of dying. It is the most likely that I will use my way to attack the Liang Liang."
Jin Guizhu nodded slightly: "Xun Qing's analysis is reasonable. My great Jin is now incompatible with the Tang Kingdom. This Tang general has such a great courage. He dares to use my way to attack the Liang Liang, and he is not afraid that we will encircle and annihilate him in one fell swoop."
General Zhao Su stepped out and asked for a fight: "General Tang really doesn't take my great Jin seriously. He really thinks that my Jin can't do anything to him. Since this team came to him, he must not let them go out alive. I am willing to raise a brigade army and encircle him and kill him without returning!"
As soon as Zhao Su finished speaking, all the military generals of the court agreed in unison, and said indignantly: "General Tang is too arrogant. He must not let the Tang army do whatever he wants. Please send troops to encircle them, and lift one of the generals to wipe out them all, avenge the soldiers who died in Pinglu!"
Jin Guizhu looked at Zhao Su and asked, "Xian Zhen and Bi Wan have not yet retreated from the east of Taihang Mountain. How many troops can Zhao Qing mobilize in a short period of time? If it is too late, I am afraid that the Tang army will have entered Liang State."
"If you go back to your lord, there are still 50,000 soldiers near Quwo, 30,000 soldiers stationed in Jinyang and Lishi. I will draw 50,000 people from them, which is enough to wipe out the Tang army." Zhao Su patted his chest and answered confidently.
Jin Guizhu gently stroked his beard and said loudly: "Tang State is extremely arrogant with the dangers of Jiangguan and Chiyang. Our army has repeatedly lost troops and lost generals, but has gained nothing. Since the Tang army came to die today, we will help them. Zhao Su, I will kill you..."
"Let's go, lord, I suddenly came up with an idea." Xun Xi, the doctor who had just retired, stood up again and bowed to start the report.
Jin Guizhu frowned and said, "It's okay to just say it."
Xun Xi held the tablet in his hand and said: "Lord, although the Tang Dynasty is arrogant and domineering, it is undeniable that the Tang Dynasty's strength is much stronger than the previous two countries of Guo and Yu, and it is simply incomparable.
Moreover, the combat effectiveness of the Tang army should not be underestimated, otherwise our army would not have returned one after another.
With the dangerous resistance of Jiangguan and Chiyang, the Tang army was going to fight stubbornly, and it was difficult for our army to break through. If we could not get two levels, we would not be able to expand our territory and would not be able to extend our tentacles into the Central Plains.
It would be better to let the Tang army attack Liang first, and when both sides were injured, our army then marched into Liang State using the excuse of attacking the Tang army. While attacking the Tang army, we would take the land of Liang State into his pocket."
After hearing Xun Xi's words, Jin Guizhu couldn't help but slammed the high and cheered: "Good idea, why didn't I expect it? I wouldn't be afraid of offending Qin in this way. Anyway, the Tang Dynasty attacked Liang, and it was not our Jin Dynasty. It would be better for Tang Dynasty to destroy Liang, so we can swallow Liang without any worries."
Xun Xi smiled: "That is, after occupying Liang State, our army can bypass the two dangerous passes, Jiang Pass and Chi Yang, attack Tang State from the west, and avenge the revenge of losing troops and losing generals last year."
Jin Guizhu no longer hesitated and made a loud decision: "Since that's the case, let the Tang army be arrogant for a few more days and let this team pass through. When the Tang army destroys Liang State, let's have another mantis stalks the cicada oriole behind."
Although Zhao Su and others were eager to fight, they also felt that Xun Xi's plan could bring greater benefits, so they had to temporarily suppress the anger in their hearts.
Xun Xi suggested again: "The Liang State and Qin State are of the same lineage. If the Tang army is allowed to cross the border with a swagger, it will definitely make the Qin monarch and ministers suspect that we deliberately let the Tang army pass through and kill people with a knife. In order to block the mouths of the Qin monarch and ministers, the lord should send a team of troops to attack the Tang army and make a full-scale interception. In the future, we will not be afraid of Qin State's initiation and provocation."
Jin Guizhufu said, "Xun Qing is still thoughtful, but even if Qin State launches a military force to punish him, will I still be afraid that Zhao Ren will be fine?"
What made Jin Guiji the most angry was that Li Ji had been robbed by Qin for half a year and sent envoys to ask for it many times, but Qin refused to return it, obviously not taking Jin seriously.
