Chapter 1058: Success in the East and Success in the West (Fifty-One)
Du Shenghao walked in the refugee camp with a pale face. Over the past three days, the homeless people around the county gradually gathered towards the county. They had no shelter, no food, and even a change of clothes. No more, they had no other choice but to go to the county town to seek help from the government.
Outside the county town, large tracts of thatched houses have been erected, and countless military tents have been deployed to accommodate refugees. Listening to the cries of these refugees and looking at their miserable conditions, it was difficult for Du Shenghao to give up to Yang. Dasha looks good.
And as the nearby county government sent someone to report the situation at the location, Du Shenghao just wanted to cry. Just like the surrounding counties, this time the Qin army attacked like locusts passing through the border. There was nothing but refugees. Leave it to him. When he heard that the iron ore and copper mines in Anlu had been destroyed and there would probably be no output in the next year, Du Shenghao became completely furious.
In his opinion, this is the result of Yang Dasha being afraid of the enemy and not daring to go out of the city to fight with the enemy. If Yang Dasha dared to lead his troops out of the city to fight, how could his opponent be so unscrupulous and wreak havoc on Yuyang? The opponent's purpose was very clear. It is clear that the most important thing is to cause maximum damage to Yuyang County so that they will become the biggest burden to the Han Kingdom in the future.
Faced with Du Shenghao's outburst of obscene words, Yang Dasha didn't change his expression, but Mei Hua and Wu Ya who were following him turned red, pressed their hands on the handle of the knife, and shouted viciously. Staring at Du Shenghao, he wished he could chop Zhang's chattering mouth into pieces with a knife.
Zeng Xianyi, who was closely following Du Shenghao, also had a hesitant expression. As the garrison general of Yuyang County, he had to obey Yang Dasha's orders in terms of military matters, because this was a military order from the Jicheng Military Department, but As a Yuyang native, seeing the miserable situation in Yuyang now, I was extremely annoyed. Previously, he could not defeat Lu Chao and had to retreat step by step. However, after Yang Dashu led 20,000 guards to Yuyang County, , they had the strength to fight. The Young Guards were the most powerful army among the Han army. Their equipment was far more sophisticated than the county soldiers he led. But he never expected that they would never be able to fight. Yang Dasha, who was known for his courage in fighting tough battles, turned out to be a coward this time, sitting back and watching the Qin army wreaking havoc outside the city, with no intention of going to war at all.
He was a soldier and could not do anything to his superiors, but he felt happy in the face of Du Shenghao's curses.
A messenger rushed towards him from a distance. Zeng Xian glanced at Yang Dasha, turned around and hurriedly greeted him. The rushing messenger got off his horse, took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Zeng Xianyi. After reading Zeng Xianyi's expression changed slightly as he read the contents of the letter. He ran to Yang Dasha and handed the letter to him, "Commander Yang, the soldiers of our scout battalion following the Qin Army discovered the Qin Army after the Qin Army retreated. There were large groups of troops stationed in Lianyao, Zhending, Qinchuan and other places. It was obvious that this was a trap set by our opponents. If we had gone out to fight the enemy at that time, we would have been very likely to be attacked by the Qin army in these places. , you are right. The Qin army has a huge advantage in strength. Once we fall into their ambush circle, it will be difficult to escape."
Yang Dasha smiled slightly, "When I came, Ye Shangshu of the Ministry of War repeatedly told me that Lu Chao is a man with many tricks, especially at the beginning and end of the war, he often makes unexpected moves. I know that my ability is limited. , unable to deal with it based on strategy, I can only cope with the changes by staying the same. It seems that this time, I made the right bet."
Zeng Xianyi looked at Du Shenghao, who was still full of anger in front of him, and whispered: "County Governor Du is heartbroken about the loss of Yuyang, and he doesn't hesitate to speak. Please don't take offense, Commander Yang."
"No blame, no blame!" Yang Dasha sighed: "Lu Chao's move was too vicious. It is understandable that Governor Du felt sad. This time, Yuyang's losses were too great."
"This Lu Chao is from Yan! He is so cruel to his hometown comrades. If he falls into my hands one day, I will definitely peel off his skin and beat his tendons." Zeng Xianyi gritted his teeth.
Yang Dasha raised his eyebrows but remained silent. As Gao Yuan's former personal guard, he knew very well the grudges between Gao Yuan and the Lu family. Gao Yuan had always felt guilty about Lu Chao. If Lu Chao really fell into this situation, One day in the hands of the Han army, even Zeng Xianyi would not be able to realize his wish today.
"General Zeng, Lu Chao has begun the real retreat. Commander Guan has led his army to follow. I have to leave next. This time Yuyang has suffered a big disaster. I am afraid that the public security in the county will not be stable in the future." It will be fine, and your county soldiers will have to shoulder the responsibility, not only to assist Governor Du in relieving disasters and reviving their homes, but also to restore law and order in the county."
"Commander Yang, feel free to go. When Governor Du calms down, I will tell him the truth. The logistics needed by the army will not be delayed." Zeng Xian said.
"County Governor Du is a sensible person and will not make things difficult for me on this matter. Even if he is hungry, he will ensure my military rations." Yang Da smiled stupidly, "But Commander Du is a scholar, and sometimes he is worried I can't help but be a little softer, General Zeng, now Yuyang is a little chaotic, so we might as well use heavy codes to deter some lawless people."
"I can spare this!" Zeng Xian nodded.
Not only was the Qin army in Yuyang retreating, but in the Wei state, the Qin army also began to shrink the front line significantly. Many of the newly occupied places were not yet warm, but under a military order, they strode backwards. In response to the withdrawal, the Central Group Army led by Ye Zhentong began a full-scale counterattack on the entire front, regaining lost ground along the way.
Rather than recovering the lost territory, it is better to say that the Qin army retreated and the Han army advanced, retreating and advancing. The two sides actually maintained a certain tacit understanding. Unlike Lu Chao's policy of burning everything and grabbing everything in Yuyang, in Wei In the country, the Qin army maintained good military discipline. Of course, this is also because the Qin army in this direction faced the Han army which was also quite powerful and its military strength was not inferior to that of the Qin army. Once the Qin army made the same move as in Yuyang Such action would most likely anger the Han army and break the current tacit understanding.
In less than a month, the Qin army gave up most of Wei's land. After Ye Zhen regained these lands, the Political Affairs Hall, which had been well prepared, immediately sent a large number of civilian officials to these places and began to carry out military campaigns in these places. The rule of the Han State, of course, the policies they implemented were completely different from those of the previous Wei State, and the Han State's policies were fully developed in these places.
"From today on, these places are the territory of our Han Dynasty. Don't pay attention to those officials from the Wei State who ran out from nowhere. Let them go as far as they want. If they are too wordy, just let them go." The charge of a Qin spy was cleared." Ye Zhen regained the territory along the way and gave instructions to the local officials who were about to take office.
The Kingdom of Wei no longer exists. They were destroyed by the Qin people. Now the Han Dynasty has taken back the territory from the Qin people and has nothing to do with the previous Kingdom of Wei.
Everyone in the Han Dynasty takes this as a matter of course, but others naturally do not think so, such as the King of Wei who is currently residing in Jicheng, his chief minister Wei Qi and other high-ranking officials.
When the Qin army came to attack, the troops under the command of the infantry began a planned retreat, fighting and moving at the same time. Before the retreat, the infantry had moved all the high-ranking officials, dignitaries and rich people from Daliang of Wei to Jicheng. Of course, accompanying them were their property.
"As for the political affairs, Wu Qi, the chief minister of the Wei State, is here again, asking to see the chief minister!" The clerk of the assembly hall trotted into the assembly hall and reported to the chief councilor of the Han Dynasty, Jiang Jiaquan, who was buried in a pile of documents.
In the past few months, the Jiang family has obviously become much older. The entire country has been at war on several occasions, which is a huge burden for the current Han Dynasty. As the chief assistant of the Han Dynasty, it is considered a great thing to be able to rest for one or two hours a day. Although things are looking good now, Li Xin's army of 100,000 was destroyed, Wang Xiao's army of 50,000, 30,000 fled into the desert, 20,000 surrendered on the spot, and on the battlefield of the Central Plains, the Qin army also retreated in large strides. But what happens next is enough to make the Jiang family Quan still as busy as a spinning top, and the Chu battlefield will continue to fight, and whether it is Jishi County, Yuyang County, or the newly recovered Wei State territory, there is a large There were countless things to deal with. Jiang Jiaquan, who had two panda eyes, raised his head, rubbed his temples, and muttered in a low voice: "You are really persistent. How many times has he come here?"
"Back to discussing politics, this is the tenth time in the past five days that Chief Wu has come to ask for an audience to discuss politics." The clerk said, holding back a smile.
"As usual, tell him that I can't reply to what he asked for, because the king hasn't come back yet, and I don't know when he will come back, and I can't answer whether he will have time to deal with this matter after he comes back. Perhaps the king will not return to Jicheng but rush directly to the battlefield of Chu State. Therefore, it is better to ask Chief Wu to wait patiently for these matters." Jiang Jiaquan waved his hand and looked at the clerk, dissatisfied: "If he comes again, you will do it. I'm trying to find a way to kill it, you can say whatever you want, but don't bother us anymore, don't you see we are very busy!"
"Yes, I understand!" The clerk turned around and walked out.
"In discussing politics, isn't this too harsh?" After another big case, Yan Shenghao, who also had two dark circles under his eyes, raised his head, "Maybe the method can be more gentle, and the tone can be more tactful."
"One moment is another moment!" Jiang Jiaquan chuckled and said: "He came ten times, and our replies became more and more rude each time. Chief Wu should have known this by heart. We just want to make them lose hope bit by bit. .”
"As far as I'm concerned, it's better to think of a way to make that King Wei die, and everything will be solved!" Li Can, who was on the other end, approved a copy of the copy in his hand, threw it to the scribe who was helping him, and said loudly : "This is so refreshing."
"This is not possible!" Jiang Jiaquan and Yan Shenghao said in unison: "Like the Qi State, the king hopes that these two places can be smoothly included in the territory of our Han Kingdom, otherwise when the Qin army came, Ye Zhen would give up on his own initiative. In these places, otherwise do you think that Ye Zhen's 100,000-strong army is really afraid of Meng Tian? We have been operating the Daliang defense line for two years. If we really want to fight the Qin army head-on, we still don't know who will win and who will lose? The reason why we have to fight while fighting. Withdrawing is just to lay a good foundation for the future. Wei was destroyed by the Qin people, and it has nothing to do with us. We snatched these places back from the Qin people."
"But now that Wu Qi is so entangled, it is also troublesome. Didn't Cao Tianci come to us yesterday and say that Wu Qi mobilized many people to create public opinion in Jicheng? If he really wanted to build momentum, we would be passive! "Li Can said disapprovingly.
"Don't worry, the key to the problem is not Wu Qi, but King Wei. In two days, Cao Tianci will ask King Qi and Prince Tian to visit the King of Wei." Jiang Jiaquan said with a full smile. (To be continued)
