Chapter 909: The Magnificent Power of Han (Thirty-Four)

Lu Chao originally wanted to use the special terrain here to teach the Eastern Expeditionary Army a lesson, and he did not want this lesson to affect the Qin Army's opportunity to attack Wei. Of course, his strategy The signal from the Qin court, specifically, came from Lu Chao's mentor Li Ru.

Qin wanted to test the reaction of the Eastern Marching Army, while Lu Chao wanted to use this opportunity to let Gao Yuan have a taste of his own methods and vent his anger. Everything went well in the early stage, and the Eastern Marching Army never expected that he was launching a massive attack on Wei. , when the Wei State was out of breath, they actually brought their troops out of Fengcheng. The destruction of the 5,000 Eastern Marching Army made Lu Chao think that the Eastern Marching Army was nothing more than that. They were marching, exploring and other necessary behaviors for a large army. Based on the principles, it does not look like a strong army at all. The only thing worthy of praise is that this army is indeed capable of fighting, and it has caused a lot of losses to itself.

Until this time he saw the combat effectiveness of the Young Guards of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, Wu Lingfeng's intelligence, decisiveness and superior combat effectiveness in capturing the Jin Yin Feng, Lu Chao knew that his previous understanding was completely wrong.

In the battle of Jinyinfeng, the Qin army had a garrison of 5,000 people, but only more than 2,000 people escaped. Now the Qin army generals Gou Yi and Zhou Yu are still attacking each other. Zhou Yu said that Gou Yi was good at killing his soldiers and provoked a mutiny. Yi Ze said that Zhou Yu wanted to defect to the enemy and rebel. Lu Chao had already had a suspicion in his mind, saying that it was impossible for Zhou Yu to defect to the Eastern Expeditionary Army. Zhou Yu would never go there even if he became a bandit. Gaoyuan, in the final analysis, this matter is still your own problem. You should not let the Qin army and the Yan army that had just surrendered be stationed on the top of the mountain at the same time, nor should you still want to test Zhou Yu's mind and send him The best way to send Zhou Yu to the front line is to send Zhou Yu to the battlefield against the Wei people.

Of course, Lu Chao will never admit his mistakes, and now, he must punish one of these two people. Otherwise, if the authority does not exist, who will be punished? Of course it cannot be Gou Yi. Gou Yi is from Qin and one of his subordinates. General, and Zhou Yu is just a dying general, so of course he is the best to take the blame.

"General Zhou, I will never believe that you have the intention to surrender to the enemy. Otherwise, you would not appear in front of me at this time." Lu Chao's tone was very soft, but who is Zhou Yu? Regarding face, he didn't know how many times he had done this in front of his subordinates over the years. He knew that Lu Chao would definitely change his tone next, and he would definitely take the blame.

To surrender, one must naturally have the consciousness to surrender. Zhou Yu quietly waited for his fate to be pronounced.

"But!" Sure enough, Lu Chao changed his tone, "General Gou Yi is not wrong in executing soldiers who waver in their determination, and this decision should have been made by you. If you had made this decision at the right time, I believe that the following will not happen. It’s something.”

Zhou Yu was silent for a moment, "The general will finally realize his crime and ask the general to punish him."

Lu Chao shook his head: "General Zhou, you have a special status, but I can't punish you. I can only send you back to Xianyang and let the king personally judge. I wonder if General Zhou has anything to say?"

A trace of red appeared on Zhou Yu's face. He had a special status! This was Lu Chao's naked humiliation. He clenched his fist vigorously and was silent for a moment again: "No, everything will be arranged by the general!"

"Okay, Luo Gu!" From a corner of the tent, a middle-aged man named Luo Gu came in, "General, please give me your orders!"

"It's your responsibility to send General Zhou to Xianyang." Lu Chao said.

"yes!"

"Remember, before the king makes a decision, General Zhou is still our general of Da Qin. He will not be humiliated or treated lightly." Lu Chao specially warned.

"The general will remember this!"

Luo Gu walked to Zhou Yu and said, "I'm sorry, General Zhou!" He reached out and took off the saber from Zhou Yu's waist.

Zhou Yu looked up to the sky and sighed, turned around and walked out. Luo Gu followed him closely out of the tent.

"General, you can't trust these surrendered soldiers at all. Those surrendered soldiers can no longer be placed in the army. In my opinion, it's better to kill them all!" Gou Yi said fiercely.

"Shut up!" Lu Chao gave him a sharp look, "If you hadn't handled this matter improperly, how could it have deteriorated to this point? As a general, you don't know the current affairs and don't understand the situation, and you only know how to use force to suppress How can it last forever? This time, Zhou Yu helped you lift the vat. Is it possible that you will still be so lucky next time? If something like this happens again, even with our Daqin laws, military laws, and gods, they won’t be able to save you. .”

Gou Yi was startled for a moment, and then he realized what he was doing and said, "Thank you, General, for your protection."

Lu Chao snorted: "You have been with me for several years, and you have made outstanding military achievements and made great contributions to the Qin Dynasty. Naturally, I have to defend you, but Gou Yi, please remember it. This is just this one time. It will not be an example next time, but there will be a next time." Don't even come to see me once, just wipe your neck yourself."

"Never, never." Gou Yi quickly swore to the sky, pointing to heaven and earth, that he would never do it again.

Lu Chao sighed softly, Gou Yi was a fierce general, but that was all. His murderous intention was his biggest weakness. When he conquered South Korea, if the upper echelons of South Korea were frightened by his name, Gou Yi was in South Korea. He is the god of murder who can stop children from crying at night. But this is good, at least, he will not make others hate him so much. He is a good candidate to take the blame for himself.

"Jin Yin Feng and Wu Ling Feng were lost each other. Our local elite of the Qin Army suffered heavy losses. We cannot hold the Masaping Canyon anymore. Retreat. Win the Ying!" Lu Chao said.

"The end is here!"

"We retreat, and if the opponent pursues them, they will definitely be dominated by their Donghu cavalry. This time, it will be up to you to stop the rear. You can set up ambushes in Sifangping, Chadianzi and other places. If those Donghu people dare to pursue us, they will be ruthless. Teach them a lesson." Lu Chao ordered.

"As you command!"

"Be careful, the Donghu people will soon be outstanding in martial arts. Now the Eastern Expedition Army has equipped them with sharp weapons, and they are even better than before." Lu Chao had to give the prince a few words of advice, "Don't be greedy for credit, just for small gains. We must get away immediately. If we let them get entangled and wait for their infantry to catch up, there will be big problems. Their crossbows are too lethal."

"I will finally understand." Ying Ying nodded in agreement.

Lu Chao's retreat was unusually smooth. Ye Zhen, who was opposite him, had no intention of sending troops to pursue him. Even though several Donghu generals such as Agu Huai'en were eager to give it a try and repeatedly asked for a fight, Ye Zhen shook his head and refused. All the generals present, Except for himself, I am afraid that no one has seen the Qin army's previous battles. If he pursues rashly, he may suffer a big loss. At present, Ye Zhen does not have enough troops at hand, and he is not willing to take this risk. Lu Chao withdrew from Masaping. Going forward in the canyon, there is no danger to defend and can only return to Fengcheng. His first step of the task has been completed. As for what to do next, he has to wait for the governor's order. However, according to Ye Zhen's own guess, I'm afraid the governor may be going to war this time.

The destruction of five thousand people in Naha was a heavy loss for Ye Zhen's Central Army. The First Army no longer existed. Kong Fang's Third Army also suffered considerable losses. The only intact one was the Second Army led by infantry. The First Division of the Young Guards fought a tough battle with the Qin Army. Although more than 2,000 of the enemy were killed, their own losses were also thousands. They killed a thousand enemies and suffered 800 losses. But in that kind of situation Under the circumstances, Ye Zhen didn't think there was any other choice. As for the Donghu Independent Cavalry Division, at least Ye Zhen thought that they were still not suitable for taking on the big responsibility at the moment.

Sometimes, even though you know whether it is hard or not wise, you still have to do it.

On the fifth day, Ye Zhen's army gradually regained Sifangping and Tea House, and Gao Yuan's military order also arrived at this time. He unfolded the military order. Ye Zhen took a breath of cold air. The governor's attitude seemed incredible! The young man was approaching. The remaining three divisions of the Guards will all rush to help here, and the governor will arrive in person, but this is not the point. The key point is Shannan County. The 20,000 Shannan County soldiers led by Feng Fayong will take the initiative to attack. Daijun Zhao Yong Thirty thousand troops from Daizhou County will be mobilized, and troops will also be sent from Shannan County. He Lanxiong's Eastern Group Army will be dispatched at the same time. His cavalry and He Lanxiong himself have already set off in advance. The other units of the Eastern Group Army will be led by Meng Chong and will approach later.

"Is this a prelude to a big fight with the Qin people?" Ye Zhen was a little confused. He was well aware of the current financial difficulties of Zhengdong Mansion. At this time, it was really not the best time to start a full-scale war with the Qin people. But when Shannan County moved, the whole body was mobilized. Shannan County attacked, and the attack was in the backyard of the Qin people. At that time, the Qin people spent a lot of effort and at a great cost to maim and beat the Huns to pieces. , solved the crisis in his own backyard, but in the end it was an advantage for Gao Yuan. Not only did he regain the Huns for his own use, but he also gained countless capable cavalry. Even Shannan County, which he fought so hard to conquer, became Gao Yuan's trophy. Over the years, , Shannan County is like a thorn on the back of the Qin people, making them uneasy at all times. If the Qin people were not too worried when Gaoyuan was weak before, now, it feels like a thorn in the eyes and flesh. Qin It's not that people don't want to take back Shannan County, but they have tried both soft and hard methods, but Shannan County remains firm. The 20,000 county soldiers led by Feng Fayong are getting stronger and stronger as they fight. As Zhengdong Mansion consciously moved to Shannan County The common people, Shannan County, which used to have only a few thousand households, now has a population that has increased tenfold. Although the number of tens of thousands of households is still less than that of a county in the mainland, the people who moved here are either fierce Huns or people with disabilities. Strong and strong refugees, the Huns mainly lived in tribes and were mainly engaged in herding, while the refugees reclaimed wasteland for farming. These farming villages all appeared in the form of military fortresses. The people were equipped with weapons and crossbows, and interacted with the Xiongnu tribesmen. The Qin people tried to fight several times for reinforcements. Not only did they fail to capture these settlement points, but they suffered a lot of losses, so they had to give up. As time went by, Zhengdong Mansion's rule in Shannan County became more and more stable.

Among them, the most unbearable ones for the Qin people are those Qin people who moved to Shannan County in the past. They seem to enjoy life under the rule of Zhengdong Mansion more, and now they actually don’t admit that they are Qin people. Wang Jian Agents were sent to contact these Qin people, hoping that they would provide intelligence to the Qin army. However, the people who went there were like meat buns and dogs, and none of them came back. It was not until the last one who was smarter and escaped back that Wang Jian understood the reason. , the people he sent were betrayed by those he regarded as compatriots and became the dead souls of Feng Fayong.

This fact made Wang Jian angry and extremely confused at the same time. It took a lot of effort to finally figure out the situation. The people of Qin in the past were living a comfortable life now, many times better than when they were in Qin. , they were very worried that if the Qin people attacked again, they would return to the torturous life before, so they hated the Qin army more than others.

This made Wang Jian a little scared. (To be continued)
