I’m The King

Chapter 1016: :East becomes the west (9)

There has just been a heavy rain on the grassland. The rain washed the blood-stained grass clean and revealed the green color again. The rich blood was swept away by the spring breeze, and it was once again surrounded by a slightly sweet breath. In people's noses, it was sunny after the rain, and various small insects crawled out from the ground, active in the grass from the bottom or the tip of the leaf, and a fluffy dragonfly flew around in the sun, staying at the tip of the leaf from time to time. , Tremblingly rise and fall with the tip of the leaf.

A spring rain brought infinite vitality to the grassland.

It's just that Wang Xiao's face was extremely gray and defeated. Shang Kexi not only ran away, and the five thousand cavalry who followed Wang Jian were almost eaten by He Lanxiong. He Lanxiong had already left before Wang Xiao's army arrived. There is no trace.

Rows of Qin army's corpses were laid on the grass, and thousands of corpses were spectacular.

The hooves rumbled in the distance, and the Li-shaped banner appeared in Wang Xiao's field of vision.He sighed and greeted him forward.Although they were both generals, Li Xin's position was clearly not comparable to Wang Xiao's.

"I have seen General Li!" Wang Xiao clasped his fists and saluted Li Xin.

Li Xin nodded, rolled over and got off his horse. He looked at the corpse of Qin Jun who couldn't see his head on the grassland. His face was painful. "Have you heard the whereabouts of He Lanxiong's main force?"

"The scout reported that He Lanxiong's main force has retreated to the direction of Jishi City." Wang Xiao said.

"Where is his cavalry?" Li Xin then asked.

Wang Xiao was taken aback, "Should I be with his main force?"

Li Xin glanced at Wang Xiao and shook his head: "Definitely not. If I expected it, He Lanxiong should withdraw his pawns to Jishi City, and his cavalry units will hide like wolves at this time. Watching us in a corner, ready to rush out and bite us at any time."

"But within a radius of tens of miles, I have sent out scouts, and I haven't found any trace of them." Wang Xiao defended.

"He Lanxiong was born in the grassland and grew up in the grassland. He is more familiar with this land than we do!" Li Datong: "I just speculate on this person's behavior based on his temperament, and he will never retreat to the plot willingly. The stone city is guarded by the city. The grassland is home to him, but to us, it is very dangerous. We did not block him in the county, and we made a big mistake. The sky is high and the birds fly, The sea is wide and the fish swims, and this time let him slip away, and then I don't know how much work it will take to catch him again."

"This is dereliction of duty!" Wang Xiao said fiercely and authentically: "After taking Feng Fayong, he thought that Shannan County Town could be pushed down in one go. Who would have expected that the Han army was so stubborn that our army would pay a huge price. I won the Shannan County City, but time is not waiting, He Lanxiong is as cunning as a fox, and he fled when he saw the situation was not good."

"Now is not the time to discuss responsibilities." Li Xin shook his head and said: "Since He Lanxiong has not been blocked, the next, naturally, will be a bitter battle. Jishicheng is the most important military town of Han, and most of his The military industry is located in Jishi City, so we must achieve this goal. The Hetao area is his grain production area. If the two areas are taken, Han will lose its powerful wings. It's not enough to be able to fall back to the level of the previous Yan Kingdom. General Wang, you go to Hetao and I will attack Jishi City. This time, there will be no more losses."

"Wang Xiao understands!" Wang Xiao nodded heavily, "It's just that this time the journey is far away. The tens of thousands of people I confiscated in Jiuyuan are not enough. I don't know if General Li can send a document back to the country, asking the king to do it again. Confiscated civil servants to transport food and grass for your and our armies.

"No need!" Li Xin smiled faintly. "Gao Yuan has been working hard to operate the Jishi City and the Loop in these years. This Gaoyuan does not say anything else, and it does have a set of people's livelihoods. The Loop has a good harvest every year, I listen to it. It is said that the food there is not even stored in the warehouse, and the caravans are too late. There is food in these places. We use the enemy's food to feed our army."

"Grab?" Wang Xiao said in astonishment.

"Zhengfa!" Li Xin corrected. "In the future, they will all be citizens of Da Qin, and now it is right to make some contributions to Da Qin, it is their blessing."

"That's true!" Wang Xiao laughed.

"Tens of thousands of civilians are enough to guarantee us a certain amount of food. For the rest, we will raise ourselves in Han." Li Xin looked at the vast grassland," And no matter how many civilians were enlisted, on this grassland, the cavalry The exchanges are like wind, how many troops can we send to protect Liangdao? He Lanxiong is probably staring at our Liangdao right now!"

"You can also force Zhao Ren to raise food for us!" Wang Xiao said.

"That's natural. Let Zhao people raise food for us and let them protect food for us." Li Xin smiled and said: "Zhao Qi is scared now. As long as we don't march to Handan, he will agree to anything. Hahaha, I am here with a hundred thousand army, Meng Tian and Lu Chao are also a hundred thousand army. If he dares to spit his teeth and the two armies turn, he will be able to destroy his Zhao Guo in an instant."

"It's just a matter of time!" Wang Xiao said.

"I am afraid that Zhao Guo is still looking forward to our defeat with Han Guo?" Li Xin smiled confidently: "But their hope is doomed to fail."

Wei Guo, Liang. Zhou Changshou overturned the big case, with all hair and beard, sitting on the ground with his hands covering his face, and crying loudly. Although speaking, he has betrayed Zhao Guo and took refuge in the big man. In his heart, he had always thought that Zhao Qi had forced him to take this step, and his heart had always been thinking of Da Zhao. One hundred thousand Hedong Daying soldiers were wiped out in ashes, making him heartbroken, that one. The army is the foundation of Zhao Mu, Zhao's general, and Wu Zeng and others who have accumulated over many years of hard work.It is precisely because of the existence of this 100,000 army that Zhao Guo has contended with Qin Guo for so many years.

"Asshole, I know that Jing Rufeng is not a good thing. Otherwise, why did General Zhao have been pressing him for so many years to prevent him from having a chance to get ahead in our army, the army of one hundred thousand, that's it. "A great Tibetan man, crying in the house, in the Hedong camp, almost none of the senior generals of Zhao Mu's family were cleaned, but the countless grassroots officers could not be cleaned, and there were many inside. It was his old ministry of Zhou Changshou, now all is gone, and he died in a muddled, unclear way.

A pair of big hands were pressed on Zhou Changshou's shoulders, "Brother Zhou, let's take my sorrow by the way!"

Zhou Changshou looked up and saw the haggard face of the infantry. "The deceased is dead. Now we have to gather our energy to deal with the powerful enemy in front of us. Just received the news that the two armies of Meng Tian and Lu Chao were united. Under Meng Tian's unified command, more than one hundred thousand troops have already rushed toward our line of defense."

Zhou Changshou jumped up, "I want to fight them to the death. If I don't avenge the 100,000 soldiers in Hedong Daying, I swear not to be a man."

The infantry nodded: "The people of Qin are our common enemy. I just received the news that Zhao Qi opened up Shanggu County, and Li Xin led a 100,000 army out of Shanggu, and had already taken Daijun, and Wang Xiao led another army to attack. After we got off our Shannan County City, General Feng Fayong died in the battle. General He Lanxiong had to withdraw from Daijun and retreat to Jishi City. Now, it has reached the most critical time, no matter where it is from Commander He Lanxiong or our side. If one party has a problem, Qin Jun can drive straight into the hinterland of my big Han."

"They have an army of 100,000, but we now have no less force than them, and the King of Han will definitely send reinforcements," Zhou Changshou said loudly.

"That's natural." The infantry nodded. "But it happened suddenly. This time, it was the King of Han. I'm afraid I couldn't predict it beforehand. It always takes time to pull out reinforcements, but before that, they have to tell. We have withstood it, Brother Zhou, you now have 20,000 in your hand, I have 10,000 in my hand, and the new Wei Jun has 30,000, this is all our strength. Above the military strength, we are inferior The opponent, above the combat power, I am afraid that it cannot be compared to the opponent. The main force of the 100,000 Qin army comes from Meng Tian's troops. Even Lu Chao's subordinate, it is also an elite division that has defeated the entire Han and most of the Wei Kingdom. Both sides The balance of power is still very different."

"Since ancient times, there have been countless cases of defeating the strong with the weak." Zhou Changshou said.

The infantry smiled," General Zhou was right. I really want to say it. Over the years, our Han army has really been fighting at a disadvantaged situation, but we have never lost, even if we have a small setback. , But in the end, we will always win, but Brother Zhou, there is one thing I want to say ahead. Our three armies now need the unity of power and can only have one voice."

"This is naturally no problem. My Zhou's subordinates will obey your orders from General Bu, and you can only look forward to your horse's head."

"Thank you Brother Zhou for perfecting!" the infantry said.

"I don't ask for anything else, I just want to be able to hit Xianyang one day earlier, grab Li Xin, Meng Tian, ​​Wang Xiao, Lu Chao, twitch their tendons, and peel their skins!" Zhou Changshou was evil to the gall.

"General Zhou, a high-ranking official has arrived from our Supervision Institute, and he wants to talk to you alone." The infantry suddenly changed his conversation and said.

"Senior officials of the Supervisory Yuan, who, Niu Ben?" Zhou Changshou, a senior official of the Dahan Supervisory Yuan, only recognizes one Niu Ben.

"No, the level is much higher than Niu Ben. He is the vice president of the Supervision Institute, Yi Bin, who specializes in foreign affairs." The infantryman laughed.

Under the dim oil lamp, Yi Bin in black was like a ghost. He sat in the dead spot where the oil lamp was bright, and the whole person seemed to be merged into the darkness. And Zhou Changshou sat in the same position. In the brightest part of the oil lamp, this feeling makes Zhou Changshou a little uncomfortable.

"General Zhou, about Zhao Guo, you must be very clear." Yi Bin said quietly.

"Of course." Zhou Changshou gritted his teeth. "Zhao Qi, an independent husband and traitor, if Zhao Guo perishes, he will surely perish."

"Zhao Qi is now covering the sky with one hand in the country, and the failure of Hedong Daying on the Guanzhong Plain has made Zhao Qi step up control of the country, because he is very clear that Zhao Jun's defeat has already put his status in jeopardy. Now, Zhao Guo, an undercurrent against him is surging, but they lack a leader now." Yi Bin said.

Zhou Changshou's eyes narrowed slightly, "You mean..."

"Yes, I was talking about you, General Zhou. You were General Zhao Mu's deputy at the time. You also have lofty prestige in the army. Although Zhao Qi has been pursuing General Zhao's forces over the years, he is the general officer at the grassroots level. It cannot be cleaned. Our Supervision Institute hopes that General Zhou will return to Handan. Of course, you will go back secretly. It is up to you to come forward and gather the forces of Handan Weiwu troops against Zhao Qi in order to overthrow Zhao Qi's rule." Bin Dao.

Zhou Changshou swallowed, "If I go to Handan, then here?"

"Here is the infantry general." Yi Bin said: "General Zhou, now Handan needs you more." (to be continued)
