One thousand three hundred seventy-seven chapters: Han flag world (67) Xianyang plan
The Qin army blocking Zhou Yu was actually defeated by Zhou Yu's troops. The news came, not only Zhou Yu, but also his generals were a little unbelievable. Could it be that it was so easy to take Xingping? Open the door to Xianyang? Why is it so simple?
The detailed news came soon. The only thing that blocked Xingping was the local guards that Lu Chao recruited when he came all the way. Whether it was equipment or combat effectiveness, the troops under Wang Chaoyong, who were close to Lu Chao, had 20,000 elite troops, but no soldiers went to Xingping to participate in this war. There was no plan to attack Zhou Yu's troops.
The matter was too strange, but Zhou Yu was worried. Although he conquered Xingping, he had not issued an order for the entire army to head to Xianyang.
This is too abnormal. For a veteran like Zhou Yu, abnormal things mean traps, and they mean things that he cannot master. Should he stay on the spot, enter Xianyang, or directly launch an attack on Wang Changyong, the subordinate of the Lu Department? For Zhou Yu, he has three choices.
Of course, in Zhou Yu's opinion, the best choice is to attack Wang Changyong. In this way, he can still alleviate the crisis in Xianyang. The opponent directly moved away from the road to Xianyang, but Zhou Yu dared not go.
In Xianyang, Fan Sui hurriedly ran up the high steps of the Black Ice Platform Hall. His long-standing gloomy face showed a rare smile. Just now, good news came that Zhou Yu's army of kings had arrived and defeated the enemy of Xingping and occupied Xingping, leaving a gap in the troops surrounded by Lu Chao's troops.
"Okay!" After hearing Fan Sui's report, Ying Ying finally breathed a sigh of relief. As long as there was the first army to support the king, there would be no worries about the second and third ones. "They occupied Xingping and annihilated thousands of enemies? Well, it was very good, I didn't expect that. I didn't expect that the first one to support the king was Zhou Yu."
Ying Ying felt extremely moved. In Qin State, Lu Chao, Tan Feng and Zhou Yu were all from Yan. Lu Chao is now the biggest rebel. Although Tan Feng did not raise the anti-flagship, he did not have any intention of serving the king in Xianyang. Instead, he took the opportunity to capture Tai'an. Wulong was also a real ill-hearted person. Of course, Ying Ying had not received Tan Feng's nest at this time and had been taken over by the Han army. On the contrary, Zhou Yu, who had never been valued by Ying Ying, led his army all the way to kill him in the most difficult time.
The wind knows the weeds, and the storm knows the heroes! Ying Ying sighed in his heart. "Since Xingping has been conquered, why hasn't Zhou Yu arrived in Xianyang yet?"
"Reporting to the king, although he took Xingping, the thief army Wang Changyong was still watching. Therefore, General Zhou did not dare to march rashly for a while, and wanted to stabilize Xingping before marching. The meaning of General Zhou's report on the victory was to launch an attack on Wang Changyong's troops to restrain the enemy who besieged Xianyang." Fan Sui said.
"Wang Changyong is just a side-in-law. He was on Xingping's side. Since he did not dare to attack General Zhou, he was obviously afraid that General Zhou would be powerful. General Zhou should not be entangled with him. Our main enemy was the front-line Lu Chao's troops, and immediately sent an order to lead General Zhou to Xianyang. General Zhou had 50,000 iron troops, plus 30,000 Xuanyi Guards, and even if he fought against Lu thieves, he was not afraid of it. As long as he defeated Lu Chao, what else could the rest of the anti-army army have become? It would be natural to make a decision at that time." Ying Ying waved his hand and said magnificently. He was originally a leader and was immersed in the army for many years. Now he has enough troops on hand. His intention to face Lu Chao head-on will be exposed immediately.
"The king, what General Zhou said is not without reason. If General Zhou's army of 50,000 under his command attacks Wang Changyong with all his strength, he will definitely be able to defeat him. At that time, the flanks of the road will be exposed to General Zhou." Fan Sui said.
Ying Ying laughed: "Since the assistant, you don't understand military affairs, since Wang Changyong is afraid of General Zhou's military power and dare not attack, it will not work for General Zhou to find him to fight. When General Zhou moves, he will inevitably retreat, and the thieves will inevitably turn to find General Zhou to fight. The thieves in our Xianyang City cannot go to rescue at will. Xianyang is our foundation. If the Xuanyi Guard goes to rescue and gives way to Lu Chao to attack, wouldn't it be a waste of the foundation? Our first priority at the moment is to defend Xianyang and strive to fight against the thieves under Xianyang. If Lu Chao mobilizes a large force to attack General Zhou, we will be passive."
After pausing, he continued: "The city is not peaceful. These days, Mingtai has discovered and arrested many people. There are many aristocratic families here. The Qin Dynasty treats them well. They actually want to collude with the thieves inside and outside. It is really unbearable!" Ying Ying said angrily: "This is also one of the reasons why I dare not mobilize the army out of the city. If the Xuanyi Guard is present in the city, it can calm those who are ill-behaved."
"Since that's the case, then the empress will immediately send a message to Zhou Yu and ask him to raise an army to Xianyang immediately!" Fan Sui said.
"Yes, let Zhou Yu be careful all the way. The journey of Zixingping is quite short. That thief will definitely not make it so easy for him to reach." Ying Ying nodded and reminded.
Reinforcements had arrived, and the nervous Xianyang City finally relaxed. There were more and more people walking on the streets. Among the people coming and going, there were more or less smiles. Facing the attacks of several times with their army, everyone in the city was worried. The king had issued a mobilization order for the whole city. All the men above the horse whip were ready to go to the city to fight the enemy. Manager Su at the gate of the city also went to the arsenal to get a spear. His shop was not far from the city wall and would be the first to guard the city wall. These days, the wife in the room cried like a tear every day, for fear that Manager Su would never be able to return home if he walked onto the city wall.
As reinforcements arrived, Shopkeeper Su also smiled. As long as the troops were sufficient, those who had never been a soldier and fought war naturally would not have to go to the battlefield. In a happy mood, he looked at the soldiers walking past the shop and greeted loudly: "Good evening everyone, we can definitely defend Xianyang and defeat the rebels."
The officer who was walking past his shop raised his head in surprise and smiled at him, "Good evening, of course I can keep it."
"Work hard, we will definitely be able to defend it!" Manager Su clenched his fists and waved it, lifted the spear leaning against the door with his other hand, paused hard to the ground, and said loudly.
"It seems that the people in Xianyang City are quite enthusiastic about fighting!" A person who looked like a personal soldier whispered next to the officer.
"Is Gao An? It wasn't like this a few days ago. Didn't you hear that Zhou Yu is here?" The officer showed a sarcastic smile on his face, "Mr. Gou is so bored during this period. It's about to end. Zhou Yu is here, and the drama has officially started the screen. Hehehe, my Mingtai's long-cherished wish is about to be fulfilled, so how happy it is!"
These two people, one is Mingtai, the commander of the Black Ice Platform, and the other, at first glance, is very different from Gou Yi's appearance, but if you are a person who is very familiar with Gou Yi, you can still recognize his outline when you look closely. Lu Chao's confidant general appeared in Xianyang City in a swagger.
The two returned to the mansion of Mingtai, closed the door and set up a banquet. Gou Yiyi went to disguise and restored his true colors.
"Brother Ming, I will give you a cup of honor. The great revenge is about to be repaid. It's a happy congratulation!" Gou Yi smiled.
"Thank you, Brother Gou, but you are only half ninety years old. The more you reach the last moment, you can't make a mistake. Brother Gou knows that the more you go back, the harder it is to do. The front is paving the way, and finally this is a fatal blow. If you don't walk this step well, the effort will be wasted!" Mingtai's face was not happy, "But I'll give you a good word, I'll drink this glass of wine."
"The general absolutely believes that with Brother Ming's ability, there is no problem in doing this, otherwise we will not be able to bring a large army to come. Brother Ming also knows that if Xianyang wants to attack hard, it is really unsure. Even without Zhou Yu's tens of thousands of troops and horses and only 30,000 Xuanyi Guards, it will be difficult to take it down. We seem to be aggressive now, but in fact, if the danger is exhausted, the key is to lie on Brother Ming. Otherwise, when Bai Qi gets out of the predicament, we will be attacked several times, and we are afraid that the wolf will run to Hangu Pass and run back." Gou Yi said.
"I have been planning hard for decades, just for this dynasty, every step, every link, and in the dark night, and now every step is in our calculations. If you stab at the door, I will never have any problems." Mingtai stood up, raised the wine glass in his hand and looked at the sky, bent down, and splashed the wine on the ground: "The ancestors of the Chen family, the spirit of the heaven, please bless the children to achieve great things and avenge the Chen family."
Seeing Mingtai like this, Gou Yi quickly stood up, looked at the sky and bowed to the ground, and splashed wine onto the ground.
Sitting down again, Mingtai put a wine glass on behalf of Gou Yiman, "There is one thing I didn't understand. As we had expected, Hangu Pass should be struggling with the Han people at this moment, but why is it calm now? I don't believe that a Wang Jian can restrain tens of thousands of arrogant soldiers and generals in Jinyang. Not to mention Wang Jian's strength, I just say that he needs to cross the desert to attack. Sixty or seventy percent of the 100% of the troops will be used for logistics support. How big a threat can it be?"
"It's true that I can't hide it from Brother Ming." Gou Yi smiled, "This time I came, the general also said that if Brother Ming asked, just tell me directly about this matter, except for the Han people, there are only generals here, General Xu and Gou. Speaking of which, there are definitely no more than ten people in the world who know this. But the general said that Brother Ming is a person who is absolutely trustworthy."
Mingtai smiled slightly: "I guess you must have reached an agreement with Gao Yuan, but I really can't guess what the agreement is. What kind of temptation did Gao Yuan be willing to miss the great achievements of taking advantage of this great opportunity to defeat the Qin State in the civil strife?"
Gou Yi smiled, put his head to Mingtai's ear, and whispered. As he said, Mingtai's eyes widened wider and wider. (To be continued.)
