Chapter 1018: Success in the East and Success in the West (Part 11)

Walking to the table and sitting down, Gao Yuan picked up a cup of hot tea on the table, drank it in one gulp, looked at Ye Jing'er, and said: "Perhaps the people of Qin finally realized that compared to Chu, we are them The real enemy, so they did not hesitate to let Zhao Guo survive, but they also wanted to attack us first. But it is a pity that they did not capture He Lanxiong as expected, but instead asked He Lanxiong's entire division to withdraw from Dai County. If He Lanxiong's Dongye really When they were blocked in Dai County, we were truly passive."

"But Feng Fayong's troops and Daijun's soldiers, these two troops combined, are more than 50,000 troops, and they are just gone!" Ye Jing'er sighed, "King Qin Wulie is really an amazing emperor. This This war was as unexpected as when he plotted against the Huns. After annihilating the main force of the Zhao State, we all thought that they would strike while the iron was hot and destroy the Zhao State in one fell swoop. If this was the case, we would have time to reorganize our war preparations and prepare for the war. We were well prepared for the battle, but we never expected that they would actually point their finger at us. Fortunately, Shannan County's persistence bought us time, but the casualties were too heavy."

"This does not hurt our roots." Gao Yuan said: "The failure to capture He Lanxiong's Dongye as they wished can be said to have laid the groundwork for the Qin people's final defeat. In the next grassland battle, both sides stood on the same side. On the same supercar line, we even have a huge advantage. Although we cannot mobilize so many troops in a short period of time, don't forget that the prairie is our home field. We have Jishi City and Dayan City. With the Hetao as the support for our strategy, and the Qin people, if they work hard on the expedition, they will soon feel the hardship of supplies."

"The war is fierce and dangerous. Brother, you have to be careful when you go here. You have a big goal. If Li Xin and others know where you have gone in person, I am afraid they will deal with you at all costs." Ye Jing'er sighed: "The big man The safety of the whole body depends on the elder brother. If the elder brother has three advantages and two disadvantages, the big man will be really in danger."

Gao Yuan chuckled and said, "You are worrying too much. Today, Dahan's system has gradually become complete. Even if I am not in Jicheng, there will be no problems in Dahan's operations."

Ye Jing'er sighed. She also understood that this battle was related to the safety of the entire Han Kingdom. It was impossible to prevent Gao Yuan from going to the battlefield. As Gao Yuan, who had never lost a battle on this continent, , his appearance on the battlefield itself was a huge inspiration to the Han army.

"I will take good care of your home." She said softly.

"Jing'er, don't interfere with the operation of the Zhengshitang. Just let the Zhengshitang and the Great Council handle the affairs of the court." Gao Yuan said.

"I understand." Ye Jing'er nodded.

The door was pushed open with a bang, and both of them turned their heads and saw He Lanyan standing at the door, "Brother, I'm going to go on this expedition too."

"Stop messing around!" Gao Yuan shook his head, "Mingzhi is still so young. If you can divorce your mother, just wait for my good news in Jicheng."

"No, I have to go!" He Lanyan said stubbornly: "I know the prairie better than you. I was born and raised here. On that prairie, I know where there is water and where there is shelter from the wind and rain. place, and I will not be a burden to you, but can be your helper."

"This time, let's take Yanzi with us!" Ye Jing'er on the side said, but she rarely helped He Lanyan: "Yanzi is very skilled in martial arts. By following you, he can be regarded as your bodyguard. I can take care of your daily life, so Xin'er and I will feel more at ease."

Gao Yuan spread his hands: "What about Zhiyuan? He's still so young and hasn't even been weaned yet!"

Ye Jing'er giggled, "Brother Gao, you really know the affairs of the world but not the affairs of your family. When did Yan Zi nurse her own children? Why did the palace hire so many wet nurses? As for Yan Zi's absence, You won't be worried if you leave your Mingzhi to me, right?"

"I'm at ease, I'm at ease!" He Lanyan said cheerfully: "Brother Gao, do you have nothing to say this time? Don't you forget that most of your cavalry were trained by me?"

Looking at He Lanyan, Gao Yuan said helplessly: "Okay, if you want to follow, then follow. But when you are in the army, you are no longer a princess but an ordinary general."

"Of course I can save this." He Lanyan said happily.

Linzi, Tianfu. Tian Yuanyuan, who now actually controls the government of Qi State, has been having a lot of happy events recently. First, Bian Yang, the desperate general of Chu State, led his army to temporarily defect to Qi State. Qi State supplied him with grain, grass, ordnance, and Bian Yang Then he guarded Zhangjiadian, one of the gateways to Linzi for Qi State. The Zhangjiadian area is mountainous, and Bianyang, who was born in Liaomin, just as he promised to Tian Jingwen, he was indeed very confident and very capable in mountain warfare. The solution, at least until now, was that although Meng Chong in front of him had much stronger troops than him, he was still struggling in the Zhangjiadian area, which was full of high mountains and mountains. Every step forward required a lot of effort.

Once Zhangjiadian was secure, Tian Jingwen was at ease in Pinglu. The recruits he continuously recruited poured into Pinglu and constantly strengthened Pinglu's defense. However, the Han army did not seem to be so keen on attacking fortresses, and they often suffered heavy casualties. Making them forget about it made Tian Jingwen more confident in guarding Pinglu.

Tian Jingwen knew that the Han army took the casualties of soldiers very seriously and was never willing to let soldiers sacrifice their lives to fill up a city unless it was a last resort. Now that the Han Dynasty is strong and weak, the Han army may prefer to delay the long-term confrontation. Overthrow the Qi State.

This was originally a problem that Tian Jingwen was very worried about, because as of now, Qi's economy is not at the same level as Han's. As time goes by, Han will be able to drag Qi down even if it is delayed. Collapse, even now, Qi's economy is basically facing collapse.

Finally, there is no end to the road, and the Han State's sharpness finally aroused the concern of the two great powers Qin and Chu. The two countries unanimously attacked the Han State. The Han State was attacked on several sides, and the enemies were extremely powerful. This gave rise to Qi State brought a glimmer of hope.

Tian Fucheng believed that as long as he survived this opportunity, when the official confrontation between the Qin and Chu armies and Han began, it would be impossible for Han to maintain an army of 100,000 people in Qi.

Although the future will still be extremely difficult, Qi will gain a rare chance to breathe. The best result is that Chu, Qin, and Han will all suffer losses, and that is the best result for Qi.

Of course, Tian Fucheng also knows that this idea may be a bit taken for granted, but no matter who wins or loses, there are only benefits and no disadvantages for Qi State at the moment. Qi State is already in extreme danger, and the worst situation can be even worse than now. What?

"My dear ministers, it is the darkness between dawn right now. Although it is the darkest time of the day, but after this moment, the light will come!" Tian Fucheng's face was full of joy, "We will win a rare opportunity. , Restore the prestige of Qi State now."

In the lobby, all the ministers of Qi State raised their arms and cheered. Bai Yucheng was sandwiched among them. Like everyone else, he was discussing with great interest how Qi State should use this rare situation to develop itself. But in his smile , but with some sneers of unclear meaning.

A banquet was held in the Tian Mansion. This was the first grand celebration in the Tian Mansion since Tian Dan defeated Yan State. Bai Yucheng was caught in the crowd. After drinking a few glasses of wine, he left with the excuse of inspecting the city defense. Go, these guys in Eguan robes around him didn't like him, and he himself looked down on each other, sitting across from each other, bored with each other in vain.

Walking out of the gate of Tian's Mansion, he raised his head and took a long breath of fresh air. The smile on Bai Yucheng's face gradually faded away. Tian Yuanyuan was at least right about one thing. The Han Kingdom was indeed at its most dangerous time. The Chu State was in Linyi continued to increase its troops, forcing Meng Chong to allocate more energy to deal with the threat from the Chu army in Linyi. The troops attacking the Zhangjiadian area continued to weaken. This allowed Bian Rang to persist until now, otherwise it would have been impossible. How could Bian Yang persist with the fighting power of the Han army until now? In order to defraud more ordnance supplies, Bian Yang brazenly claimed that he could completely withstand the Han army's offensive in Zhangjiadian. Others didn't know it, so how could Bai Yucheng not know it? The inside story.

It wasn't that Meng Chong couldn't defeat Zhangjiadian, but he had to always be wary of Qu Wan in Linyi. This guy was staring at Meng Chong's flaws with his eyes wide open.

However, the newly formed First Army did encounter difficulties in Pinglu. Since the formation of the Han Army, it has rarely attacked fortified cities. It is indeed a bit unfamiliar with city attack and defense. Moreover, Zhang Hongyu attaches great importance to the lives of soldiers. The academy The general who came out had a softer heart. Bai Yucheng said with a hint of embarrassment. In his opinion, Zhang Hongyu was more suitable to be a teacher in a military university rather than holding the power of life and death with tens of thousands of troops.

As soon as he entered the house, Hu Tou came up to him, "Boss, Niu Teng is here."

Bai Yucheng was refreshed. Niu Teng was the top general assigned by the Supervisory Council to the Qilu Army. Some time ago, after saying hello, he disappeared without a trace. This time he came back, and he must have brought the latest information about Jicheng. The instructions should come at the last moment. The Han Dynasty is now facing enemies on several sides, and the affairs of Qi State should be settled.

He hurriedly walked into the inner room, where Niu Teng, dressed in black, was waiting.

"Are we going to take action?" Bai Yucheng grabbed Niu Teng and asked excitedly, "I have been in Linzi for several months. Everything is ready. I just need an order from the King of Han."

"It's time to take action!" Niu Teng nodded vigorously, "Now our Han Dynasty has been fully attacked by the Qin State. The King of Han decided to solve the problem of Qi State in the shortest time, and then form a new First Army, Nanye and your Qilu The legions took action together to let the Chu State know clearly what would happen if they offended our big man, and we would never stop until he knelt down and begged for mercy."

"Great!" Bai Yucheng waved his fist excitedly, "After several years of hard work, it's finally time to show off my skills." (To be continued)
