Chapter nine hundred and sixty-one seeks saints, seeks others and seeks oneself
Kyoto Province, Handan City.
Lian Po escaped from his shell and fled back to Handan in a panic, informing the lord Emperor Chen of the details of the war.
After hearing this, Di Chen's face was gloomy and terrible. What he was worried about was not Swordsman City, but the arduous situation that the alliance had to face after the destruction of 150,000 reinforcements.
Not to mention the distance, Caiyun City may not be able to be protected.
The deliberate blow of Daxia made the response of [Yanhuang League] look extremely pale.
The peerless Fenghua looked at Di Chen with pity. The man in front of him could not say that he was not working hard or lacked talent. The mistake was that he met a stunning and stunning opponent.
Ouyang Shuo's light shines too much, and any opponent can only be overshadowed. This is not the sorrow of Di Chen alone, but the sorrow of an era.
"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have made such a plan." Judy Fenghua said blaming himself.
Di Chen waved his hand and said, "It has nothing to do with you. This plan is unanimously agreed. No one would have expected that Daxia would have such a heaven-defying prop. The Sword Hero City should be destroyed. The Qiang tribes around him didn't know how to use it. Instead, Daxia took the lead and completed a fatal blow to the Sword Hero City. It was really ironic."
“What should I do next?”
"If I have a good project, the old fox must have a trick. Let's wait, and there will be a good show."
The peerless Feng Hua was silent, and the anxiety in his heart became more and more powerful.
…………
Danyang City, the city lord's mansion.
After receiving the battle report, Chunshenjun was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
The destruction of 150,000 reinforcements means that Caiyun City is in danger. In this way, the two field legions still left in the southern Hunan Province have become unstoppable.
“This is difficult.”
Chunshenjun walked back and forth in the study, weighing the merchants, and finally made up his mind, "If it really doesn't work, let the army retreat. We can't let them feed the evil wolf in Daxia."
At present, Chunshen Jun can only act according to the opportunity.
…………
The battle between Sword Heroes City was soon learned by various war reporters. The next morning, the front page headlines of major media reported on the battle situation of Sword Heroes City, which attracted a lot of attention.
As soon as the news came out, the players were in an uproar.
No one expected that a fierce battle that was originally evenly matched would turn into a one-sided victory.
As soon as the battle report came out, countless owners of underground money shops wanted to jump off the building and commit suicide.
Before the war started, these underground money shops secretly opened the gambling market, and more than 90% of them were more optimistic about the [Yanhuang League]. As a result, the bosses of these money shops were afraid that they would even lose their pants.
Daxia iron fans, such as Lin Jing and others, made a lot of money.
………
October 16th, Swordsman City.
At about 10 a.m., Luo Shixin and others led their troops to escort prisoners of war outside the Swordsman City. The four generals gathered together again, and Luo Shixin read out the king's order sent by Ouyang Shuo overnight.
"I am very pleased to hear that Long Xiang has made great achievements and promote the power of our army. However, the war has not yet been concluded and Shu has not yet been settled. All generals should be wary of arrogance and impetuousness and move forward. They should pursue the remaining bravery and not seek fame as the overlord. They should be praised. When the war in Shu is over, I will not hesitate to reward you."
"Abide by the king's order!"
The generals kowtowed, and their hearts were solemn.
Luo Shixin then took out a military order, but it was sent by Bai Qi on the way, echoing the king's order.
"The commander has an order, so there is no need to wait for him to arrive at Jianxia City. We can lead our troops first to sweep Badong County, and then attack Hanzhong County, and take down the entire Shu area to achieve full success."
"promise!"
After reading, the four of them discussed the specific combat plan with military advisor Chen Gong.
There was no difficulty in taking Badong County. Sword and Xia City fell, and the lord Feng Qingyang fled. Badong County suddenly became an abandoned son and had no army to guard it. It was not easy to capture the entire county.
The only thing to worry about is not to let the nearby Danyang City and Luoye City seize food, and once again stage the farce of "Guilin County is lost again".
Chen Gong said: "Attacking Badong County can be summarized in eight words, with a high-profile attack, and the soldiers are more powerful."
"Military advisor, it is easy to understand how fast the soldiers are. What is the solution to a high-profile attack?" Luo Shixin asked.
"To dispel the enemy's covetousness, we must show the enemy our army's determination to take over Badong County. We will fight for this and dare to draw the sword so that the enemy will not see any opportunity to take advantage of it." Chen Gong explained.
"Whether it is Luoye City or Danyang City, they are still facing threats from our allies and dare not take a single gamble. As long as we have a firm attitude, they will not trek into this muddy water."
Luo Shixin and others nodded together, deeply impressed.
This is the benefit of being a military advisor.
Seeing this, Luo Shixin looked at Zhang Liao and said, "Since that's the case, please ask General Zhang to lead his troops to attack Badong County."
The Third Legion led by Zhang Liao and the Fourth Legion led by Luo Shixin were the most cavalry in the Longxiang Army. Since the army was very fast, Luo Shixin called Zhang Liao's name.
With Zhang Liao's intelligence, he should be able to understand the meaning of "high-profile offense".
"The last general will receive the order!"
Zhang Liao was shocked and praised Luo Shixin more and more.
It is obvious that Luo Shixin took the initiative to let "Xian" and handed over this good job to Zhang Liao. After all, Luo Shixin's troops were mainly cavalry and were also suitable for attacking Badong County.
Since he was appointed as the temporary chief, Luo Shixin naturally had to act impartially and not be biased. Fortunately, no matter which unit made meritorious service, there was a copy of Luo Shixin in his meritorious service.
This is one of the differences between generals and generals.
Badong County is just a slim disease, and Hanzhong County is a big trouble, not only because Hanzhong County is high and far away, it is located in the northernmost part of Shu, but Hanzhong County is not owned by Jianxia City, but is occupied by the three territories.
Once Daxia expressed his intention to attack Hanzhong County, it was impossible for these three lords to jump over the wall and apply for asylum to the Shu Han Dynasty like learning Sword and Heroes City.
By then, things will be complicated.
Chen Gong didn't have a second [Stop Ge Fu] in his hand.
"In this way." Chen Gong offered his plan, "Leave a legion to guard Jianxia City, and the remaining two legions will join the Qiang army to detour through Qiang County, quietly heading north from the western front, attacking Hanzhong County, and catch the enemy off guard."
Whether for Sword and Xiacheng City or the lords of Hanzhong County, Qiang County is a forbidden area, and few eyes and ears can enter the territory of Qiang County.
The Longxiang Army headed north from Qiang County, which was obviously much more secret than the ones who went to Badong County.
Luo Shixin and others heard this and had no objection.
Just when Luo Shixin was about to arrange troops, Lai Huer took the initiative to apply to lead his troops to take charge of Jianxia City, leaving the opportunity to conquer Hanzhong County to the other two legions.
Although this battle is difficult, it is also an opportunity to make great contributions.
Lai Hu'er has captured Wei Yan and won the Swordsman City again, so he will naturally not compete for merit.
Seeing this, Luo Shixin did not retreat, so he and Xiao Chaogui led his troops, led the way by the Qiang army, walked the western front, crossed the Qiang County, and quietly attacked Hanzhong.
The plan was right, and the two armies set out on their own that afternoon. In this way, the Battle of Shu ushered in a protracted final battle, and I wonder what new waves would be created.
………
Just when the war in Shu broke out again, the situation in southern Hunan also changed.
Recently, in accordance with the unified deployment of the [Yanhuang League], the First Legion of Caiyun City was removed from Baoqing County and returned to Caiyun City to garrison and guard the nest.
This withdrawal gave the remaining lords of Baoqing County a breather, and they all turned to Daxia to contact the army led by Li Mu, hoping that Li Mu would lead his troops to Baoqing County as soon as possible.
As for Changde County, it has long been taken down by Li Mu.
At the same time, the Leopard Army led by Han Xin had also fought all the way outside Caiyun City. Seeing that the Caiyun City army returned to defense, Han Xin was extremely flexible in his troops and did not lead his troops to attack Caiyun City.
On the contrary, Han Xin left only the Second Leopard Army led by Zhang Han, stationed twenty miles outside Caiyun City, monitoring Caiyun City's every move from afar.
The remaining two legions were neither going to sweep away Yongchuan County where Caiyun City was located nor Guiyang County where Caiyun City belonged. Instead, they headed north and headed straight for Baoqing County.
This made Caiyun City immediately fall into a desperate situation.
The First Legion stationed in Caiyun City is in a dilemma. If you don’t leave the city, the Second Legion staying in Baoqing County may be eaten by Han Xin’s troops at any time. If you leave the city, you will face snipers from Zhang Han’s troops.
As a famous general at the end of the Qin Dynasty, Zhang Han was not a vegetarian.
The First Legion of Caiyun City alone could not break through Zhang Han's troops' block.
The only hope of reversing the situation in Caiyun City is all about the 150,000 reinforcements in the [Yanhuang League]. Only when the reinforcements arrive can they break Zhang Han's troops and then go north again.
But this hope was completely ruined in the decisive battle outside Swordsman City.
On the afternoon of the 16th, Di Chen sent a secret letter to Caiyun Zhinan, making it clear that the [Yanhuang Alliance] had emptied all the mobile troops that could be mobilized.
The implication is that there are no reinforcements anymore.
This made Caiyun Zhinan fall into despair and unfortunately became another abandoned son of the [Yanhuang Alliance]. The difference is that this abandoned son is not something that Di Chen and others are willing to give up.
Whether it is the south of Caiyun or Di Chen, it is extremely bitter.
The world is so cruel that it forces people into desperate situations again and again, and has to make painful choices.
At this moment, Zhang Liang, who was not favored by Caiyun South recently, stood up and said, "My lord, the best choice now is to take the initiative to surrender before Daxia takes action, and can also exchange for some promises."
Caiyun Zhinan laughed at himself: "Ha, now that we have reached this point, will Daxia still accept my surrender?"
"Yes. Our two legions have not been defeated yet, and Caiyun City is still standing. Daxia must pay a certain price to take Caiyun City. If the army is not bloody, with the mind of the King of Xia, he will definitely agree. I dare not say that a county magistrate is definitely the lord."
Zhang Liang is worthy of being a saint, and his control over people's hearts has reached its peak.
Those who plan for saints also plan for others and yourself.
Zhang Liang proposed such a plan, which was not only a way out for Caiyunzhinan, but also unwilling to accompany Caiyunzhinan to bury him with him, and was unknown in the wilderness.
Today, only Daxia can allow Zhang Liang to show his strengths.
Caiyun Zhinan is not a person with a firm will. He has weaknesses. When he fell into despair, he was not at all prepared for the bait thrown by Zhang Liang. He didn't think about it and nodded immediately to respond.
Chapter completed!
