Chapter 1032: Success in the East and Success in the West (Twenty-Five)

In just ten days, Wu Kai seemed to have aged several years. It was his idea to let Helan Kang and He Lanjie issue the recruitment order. Now it seems that the restraint on Li Xin is indeed huge, at least until now. Li Xin's army is advancing slowly, and is still hundreds of miles away from Jishi City. The number of soldiers and horses surrounding Helanxiong is also continuing to decrease. Although it is not enough for Helanxiong to break out of the Ayakula Grand Canyon, at least it is Greatly reduced stress.

However, the continuous casualties of Xiongnu herdsmen also made Wu Kai very sad. He had been the governor of Jishi County for many years. Under his rule, the number of Xiongnu in Jishi County was large. He had already regarded the Huns as his own people, because he A thought that made these herdsmen without military training rush forward without fear of death, and fell one after another on the battlefield. This made him suffer in his heart. In the past ten days, casualty reports have been sent continuously. The 20,000 herdsmen gathered in Jishi City had already suffered over 5,000 casualties.

"Master Wu!" Yan Haibo suddenly came in from outside like the wind, "Good news, good news!"

"What good news? Commander Helan has broken through the siege!" Wu Kai's buttocks bounced up as if there were springs, and his whole person suddenly seemed energetic.

"No, it's our reinforcements that have arrived. Agu Huai'en's Donghu Cavalry Division has arrived!" Yan Hai was elated, "The scout just sent a report that Agu Huai'en has arrived in Fufeng and will arrive at Jishi City soon. That's enough There are 20,000 powerful cavalry!"

Wu Kai exhaled a long breath and clasped his palms together, "Great, great. In this way, we will have enough cavalry to fight with Li Xin on the grassland, and those herdsmen will not need to No more sacrifices.”

"Master Wu, I'm afraid you will have to prepare enough military rations soon. As soon as Agu Huai'en arrives, he will be able to join the battle as quickly as possible." Yan Haibo said with a smile.

"Of course. Jishi City has sufficient military ration reserves. Even if another hundred thousand people come, I can prepare all the needs in a short time." Wu Kai said proudly.

One day later, a group of more than ten riders entered Jishi City and went straight to the governor's mansion. Wu Kai and Yan Haibo stood at the door of the mansion to greet these visitors. When the first person lifted up the cloak covering his head, When speaking, Wu Kai and Yan Haibo's mouths suddenly opened into an O shape.

The first person waved his hand gently and walked straight into the house. Wu Kai and Yan Haibo looked at each other and followed closely.

It wasn't until they entered the lobby that Wu Kai and Yan Haibo clasped their fists and knelt down on one knee, "I have met the king."

Gao Yuan's face looked very haggard. Even he looked exhausted after running around for a long time. The originally smooth face of He Lanyan standing beside him also lost its luster and looked a little pale.

"Get up quickly, I need to know the latest situation!" Gao Yuan waved his hand and pulled the two of them up.

"Your Majesty, why are you here?" Wu Kai asked.

"I heard that Helan was trapped in a trap and was separated from the Young Guards Corps. The Qingqi moved forward and caught up with Agu Huai'en's troops. Now Guo Laowen and the others may have just arrived at Langya." Gao Yuan spat out. He said, "I am so exhausted after running all this way and only resting for a few hours every day!"

"Thank you for your hard work, Your Majesty." Yan Haibo said: "The situation is not too bad now. Commander Helan is trapped in the Ayakula Grand Canyon. Although he cannot escape, his safety is not in danger for the time being, but his food and drinking water are in danger. .”

Gao Yuan nodded, turned around and patted He Lanyan's shoulder gently: "You heard it, it's time to rest assured. He Lan survived such difficult situations back then. This little difficulty now is nothing."

"I know!" He Lanyan said softly, but her eyes turned red in the blink of an eye. She had lost her parents since she was a child. It was He Lanxiong who almost pulled him up with one hand. The eldest brother is like his father. Now that He Lanxiong is in danger, how can she? She can't be anxious, but she can't express her emotions too much in front of her subordinates.

"Everyone, sit down. I want to know the specific situation on the grassland now!" Gao Yuan pointed to the chairs around him, then turned to He Lanyan and said, "Yanzi, if you are tired, why don't you go and take a rest first?"

He Lanyan shook her head, "I'm not tired!"

Gao Yuan nodded and said: "Okay, you can also listen to it."

"Xiao Yanzi, tell me, you are much more proficient in military matters than me!" Wu Kai said to Yan Haibo.

Less than half an hour passed. During Yan Haibo's narration, Gao Yuan finally had a thorough understanding of the current situation. The situation was not as bad as he imagined.

"Your Majesty, Madam, it's not that I don't want to rescue Commander Helan, it's really because the defense of Jishi City cannot be ignored. I'm worried that Li Xin will make another attack and take advantage of us to rescue Commander Helan. , launched an attack on Jishi City, to be honest, I really don’t have the confidence to win in the face of Li Xin." Yan Haibo said a little shyly.

"This is not your problem. You and Mr. Wu made the right decision!" Gao Yuan waved his hand, "Jishi City must not be lost. The first priority is to defend Jishi City. At that time, Helan asked you to retreat all the way. Jishi City, it is based on this, if you go out to rescue Helan and fall into Li Xin's trap, then Helan's hard work will be wasted. He is fighting Li Xin on the grassland, isn't it just for you? Can we buy time so that you can return to Jishi City and do a good job in city defense? Xiaoyanzi, Mr. Wu, don’t think too much, neither I nor Yanzi think your decision is wrong."

He Lanyan nodded slightly on the side.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Madam for your understanding!" Wu Kai clasped his fists and said. To be honest, it was not unreasonable to say that he was not worried about He Lanyan's dissatisfaction at all, because Wu Kai's decision at that time indeed put He Lanxiong in danger.

"By the way, I forgot to tell you that the matter of Qi State has been resolved!" Gao Yuan picked up the tea cup beside the table and took a sip. "Bai Yucheng captured Linzi in one fell swoop, and then made a surprise attack on Zhangjiadian District. , and Zheng Xiaoyang attacked in front and back, annihilating more than 20,000 Chu troops in Bianliang, and finally used Tian Dagong and the King of Qi to lure Tian Jingwen out of Pinglu and annihilate him. After both young masters persuaded Pinglu City to surrender, they led the last Qi army in Pinglu to Kaicheng and surrendered. Our great Han Dynasty has destroyed Qi State. Now there are three armies: Bai Yucheng's Qilu Army, Meng Chong's Southern Field Army, and Zhang Hongyu's newly formed First Army. An army of more than 100,000 people has already turned to attack Linyi. After taking Linyi, they will march directly into Chu State. King Huai of Chu wants to take advantage of me. This time I asked him to lose his wife and troops. ." Gao Yuan placed the tea cup heavily on the table with a thud.

"That's great!" Wu Kai and Yan Haibo both cheered in unison, and Wu Kai's beard stood up with joy, "In this way, most of the crisis we are currently facing has actually been resolved. .According to the temperament of King Huai of Chu, as long as he gives in a few times, I am afraid that most of the confidence he has finally mustered up will be destroyed. If we press harder, his peace envoys will probably be on their way."

"It's not that cheap." Gao Yuan snorted, "I have ordered Shangguan Hong to command the two infantry corps of the Young Guards Corps to advance and attack the three counties of Han. The Qin people sent these three counties to Chu in exchange for Chu's Send troops, the Chu people are not yet secure, I will take them over."

"Shangguan Hong went to the three counties of Han, what about Wei?" Wu Kai was surprised.

"Ye Zhen also led the Central Group Army to aid the Wei State. The goal I gave them for this group of troops is to be able to defend and not to retreat. They only need to delay as much time as possible, waiting for the end of our battle with the Chu people and our battle on the grassland. After the decisive battle in these two places has concluded, even if we lose Wei, the Qin people will still have to spit it out." Gao Yuan sneered. "What's more, in Wei, the infantry He already has 30,000 new Wei troops under his command, and more than 20,000 subordinates of Zhou Changshou, plus his own 10,000 troops, which is 60,000 people. After Ye Zhen arrived here, we already had more than 10 people in Wei. An army of ten thousand people, Xu Yuan will follow suit. Meng Tian and Lu Chao want to swallow an army of more than 150,000 people. Do they have the ability?"

"Meng Tian, ​​Lu Chao?"

"Your concerns are good. The abilities of these two people are indeed incomparable to Ye Zhen and Xu Yuan, so the goal I gave them is to never waste a fight, never to fight their opponents until it is absolutely necessary, and there is only one strategy, that is Defend, and then delay. Set up defenses step by step, killing time with the opponent bit by bit." Gao Yuan smiled and said: "Okay, let's not talk about the situation over there, let's talk about this side, Mr. Wu, I need 20,000 Put on the clothes of a Xiongnu herdsman and give you three days to send it to Fufeng."

Wu Kai's eyes widened, "Your Majesty, what do you want these herdsmen's clothes for?"

Yan Haibo on the other side suddenly realized, "Your Majesty, are you trying to trick Li Xin?"

Gao Yuan laughed loudly, "Li Xin bullied the herdsmen who had no military training and no unified command to make trouble with him on the grassland. I really want to see what happens when his cavalry troops encounter Donghu under my personal command on the grassland." What will it look like when the cavalry becomes an independent division? I will wipe out all his cavalry. Then I will slowly clean up Li Xin's large infantry troops on the grassland without cavalry cover. God of War ?Hmph, this time I will make him fall off the altar!"

"The king has experienced hundreds of battles and has never been defeated. What kind of war god is Li Xin? This time, let him become a stepping stone for the king to go further!" Yan Haibo laughed loudly.

Gao Yuan smiled slightly, "Where is the commander of the Overwatch Council branch in Jishi County? I remember his name is Tang He. Summon him here. I have something to tell him!"

"yes!"

A moment later, Tang He jogged into the lobby, "Commander of the Jishi County Branch of the Overwatch Council, I have met the King!"

"Tang He, send all your available men out and contact the herdsmen who are fighting on the grassland." Gao Yuan said: "If I want to give Li Xin a big surprise, I have to rely on the power of these volunteers this time!" (To be continued)
