Chapter 1000: The Magnificent Power of Han (One Hundred and Twenty-Four)
Because the Red Scarf Army suddenly launched an attack on Jimo, all forces were caught off guard. Before completing their own preparations, they had to follow the Red Scarf Army on their backs. The most annoying thing was undoubtedly this time The general of the Chu army in Judu surrendered.
Qu Zhong arrived in Judu in person and worked out all the strategies with Qu Wan to attack Qi and harass the Han. However, the so-called ideas could not keep up with the changes. Before his reinforcements had even set off, the situation in Qi had undergone major changes, which made it even more difficult. He didn't expect that Tian Fucheng of Jimo was so invincible that the defenders led by the famous general Wang Pei could only defend the Liuhao River for four or five days before the Red Scarf Army broke through the defense line and the entire army had to give up. Yifengdian and retreated to Pudong. The fall of Yifengdian was more fatal. The Red Scarf Army after crossing the Liuhao River gained more strategic initiative. Their room for movement was also larger, and their attack points also increased significantly. This forced Tian Fucheng to divide his troops more for defense, and divided troops for defense represented the weakness of the troops at various points. Now Tian Fucheng has been in a situation where he is defending everywhere and being beaten everywhere.
The fall of Yifengdian also forced Cheng Siwei in Nanquan to shrink his defense line, abandon Nanquan, and retreat to Mashan. So far, although Wang Pei and Cheng Siwei have returned to Pudong and Mashan. A new line of defense was built and connected in time, which temporarily ensured the safety of Jimo, but the entire strategic situation was already quite bad.
Tian Fucheng is in danger. If he is defeated quickly, it will not be good news for the Chu army. In Qu Zhong and Qu Wan's plan, Tian Fucheng is still a very important chess piece. Whether the Chu army is dealing with the Han army or not He is an indispensable part when dealing with Mr. Tian.
When the news came, Qu Wan locked himself in his study and looked at the map for a whole day before finally making up his mind.
"Bian Yang, you lead 30,000 elites and immediately launch an attack on the Linzi area. I want you to capture the Zhangjiadian area as quickly as possible and advance to Boshan." Qu Wan said to Bian Yang as he poked his finger on the map.
Bian Rang blinked for a long time and then said: "General, I took away 30,000 people, but you only have less than 10,000 people left here. How can this be done?"
Qu Wan chuckled, "Do you think Tian Yuanyuan will come to beat me now, or Tian Fucheng will come to beat me? My safety here does not lie with my opponent, but with you. As long as you hit me harder and faster, The safer I am now."
"General, our reinforcements have not arrived yet." Bian Yang said.
"I can't wait any longer. If I still wait for the reinforcements to arrive, I'm afraid Tian Fucheng will be doomed long ago. Now that he is at the end of his rope, it is time for us to give him a life-saving straw. Our army is approaching Linzi, and Tian Long-distance troops are bound to be in a hurry, but Tian Jingwen and Zou Zhang may not care about fighting Tian Fucheng anymore and will return to rescue Linzi and deal with the Red Scarf Army independently. I think Tian Fucheng will not be so tight." Qu Wan said.
"Only if Tian Fucheng maintains a certain level of strength, can he help us in the next confrontation with the Han army and stop the Han army from entering Qi, so that we can have time to deal with Tian Yuanyuan and occupy Linzi."
"Understood, general, I will definitely fight this battle well." Bian Rang puffed up his chest and said.
"I can rest assured that most of the generals of the Qi State are in the Yan State. Now only Wang Pei and Cheng Siwei are still with Tian Fucheng. Zou Zhang is already old and there is nothing to fear. Tian Jingwen is just a character, but you are also You will never lose to him. When Tian Jingwen returns to Linzi, don't be greedy for credit, let alone rush forward. Just stay in a stalemate with him and wait for our reinforcements to arrive. Qi State is already a drowned dog. There is no chance of turning around in a short period of time, so we must first knock back the claws of the thriving little lion of Han before we come to deal with Qi." Qu Wan smiled and said, He reached out and patted Bian Rang on the shoulder, "Don't worry, Lieutenant Qu Zhong will definitely speed up the dispatch of reinforcements after hearing the news."
On September 20th, the state of Qi once again experienced a huge change. The Chu army, which had been silent since taking control of Judu, suddenly led an army of 30,000 soldiers led by General Bian Yang, and suddenly broke out in Zhangjiadian District, Linzi. In less than three days, Zhangjiadian was swept across, and the vanguard advanced towards Boshan, and was already very close to Linzi. Linzi was immediately panicked, and ordered Tian Jingwen to return to the army to rescue Linzi.
Tian Jingwen had no choice but to abandon the siege of Cheng Siwei and return to Linzi. Together with Tian Jingwen, Cheng Siwei immediately led an army to reinforce Wang Pei and fought several battles with the Red Turban Army in Pudong. Jun Zhu returned to Yi Feng Store.
In Jimo, Tian Fucheng couldn't stop laughing wildly. The feeling of surviving the disaster made him ecstatic. If he survived the catastrophe, he would be blessed later. This attack by the Chu army came at the right time. Now Tian Fucheng has long lost his original strength. Ambition, the only hope is to defend Jimo and keep this last piece of territory.
"Second Young Master, Qu Wan, the general of the Chu army in Judu, sent an envoy." Cao Jin hurriedly walked in. Tian Fucheng was in critical condition. The Jimo agent who stayed behind was also gray-faced. Tian Fucheng's tens of thousands of troops needed food and needed food. Military pay, and all this needs to be raised by him as a stay-at-home. Jimo was originally a prosperous place, but in the past two years, under Jimo's rule, it can no longer be described as abject poverty. Even if people are starving to death every day, Cao Jin There is absolutely no doubt that in order to raise these, Cao Jin led his men to scrape the ground with three feet, which is not an exaggeration. Even so, they often failed to supply and were scolded by Tian Fucheng. Now he Finally, I felt that Chen Dai's unyielding attitude towards death and never bowing to Tian Fucheng was simply prescient. Now he was roasting on the fire. If he couldn't raise military pay and food, Tian Fucheng would kill him, and if Tian Fucheng lost, and he also ended up with his head chopped off. The people of Jimo hated themselves more than they hated Tian Fucheng.
"Qu Wan's envoy?" Tian Fucheng was stunned, "Well, let's just meet him. At least he did me a big favor this time. Invite them in."
"Yes!" Cao Jin nodded and turned around. After taking a few steps, Tian Fucheng behind him said again: "Cao Liushou, I received a report from General Cheng earlier that the frontline war is urgent and requires three thousand stones of food and grass. Within three days, you can use this When things are done well, you must not neglect them. The two generals Cheng and Wang are planning to drive the red scarf thieves across the Liuhao River. This army ration must be received on time."
Hearing Tian Fucheng's last words, Cao Jin staggered and almost fell to the ground.
Not long after Cao Li left, an official from the left-behind mansion accompanied several Chu people to the main hall. Tian Fucheng was slightly shocked when he saw the first person. This person looked familiar, and he stood up in confusion.
"Second Master Tian, long time no see!" The Chu man on the other side cupped his hands and said with a smile.
Hearing this voice, Tian Fucheng no longer had any doubts in his mind, and looked at the visitor in shock, "Qu Wan, you are so brave, you dare to come to me in person, aren't you afraid that I will catch you?"
"Catch me?" Qu Wan, who was here in person, laughed and spread his hands, "May I ask Mr. Tian, what is your position in arresting me now?"
"I am from Qi." Tian Fucheng said solemnly.
"Are you from Qi?" Qu Wan sneered: "But does the King of Qi still think you are from Qi? Do the people of Qi still think you are from Qi? In their eyes, you, Mr. Tian, are unfaithful, unfilial, benevolent and unjust." The traitors who stand together in hot water."
"Bold!" Tian Fucheng was furious. He stretched out his hand to touch an inkstone on the table behind him, and threw it at Qu Wan. Qu Wan stretched out his hand, firmly grasped the flying inkstone in his hand, and threw it up and down. After a few seconds, he said, "It is said that Mr. Tian Er has a violent temper. Sure enough, he treats your savior like this?"
"When did you become my savior?" Tian Fucheng sneered.
The smile on Qu Wan's face faded, "Tian Fucheng, don't think about it. If I hadn't sent people to Linzi, forcing Tian Yuanyuan to transfer Tian Jingwen back, you would still be here now. Are you going to get angry with me? I'm afraid you have to decide whether Jimo City is still in your hands or not!"
Tian Fucheng's face slowly stiffened.
"Why, don't you ask me why I did this?" Qu Wan chuckled.
"Why are you doing this?" Tian Fucheng asked this sentence with some difficulty. If either Wang Pei or Cheng Siwei were here, they would definitely be so angry that they would vomit blood and regret the choice they made in the first place. Following Tian Fucheng, with just a few words, Tian Fucheng actually let Qu Wan completely take control of the situation, without even the ability to counterattack.
It is said that a dead tiger cannot lose its power. Now Tian Fucheng has not become a dead tiger, but he has also lost his power.
"Young Master Tian, you don't speak secretly, and you don't need to beat the drum when you sound it. As a general of the Chu State, I will naturally not come to save your life or protect your territory for no reason. Naturally, it is because you are so important to us." It's still useful." Qu Wan looked at Tian Fucheng and said, "Now you have almost no choice but to join me, Dachu, and you can still be guaranteed your prosperity and wealth."
"Come to your great Chu?" The muscles on Tian Fucheng's face twisted. He never expected that the other party actually made such a request.
"Yes, although you still have tens of thousands of troops, you are actually already very weak and exhausted. The Red Scarf Army and Mr. Tian will pounce on you at any time and bite you to the ground. What's even more worrying is that the troops stationed in Kunzhou Han army, I don’t believe you haven’t found out about the recent actions of the Han army. A large amount of ordnance, food and grass are gathering in Kunzhou. What do they want to do? Naturally, they want to attack you, Mr. Tian Er. You are no longer of use. , and now they are going to deal with you." Qu Wan smiled and said: "You are no longer of use to the Han State, but you are still useful to our Chu State, so, Mr. Tian Er, surrender to our Chu State, and I, Qu Wan, can guarantee that you will His status and power will not be lower than now."
The expression on Tian Fucheng's face changed several times, his eyes flickered, and after a long while, he said: "The trouble is serious, General Qu Wan, let's talk in detail in the study!"
"Okay!" Qu Wan laughed, as long as he is willing to talk. Tian Fucheng is now desperate. Where can he go except the road he gave him? (To be continued)
