Chapter 1053: Success in the East and Success in the West (Forty-Six)
Fan Sui nodded repeatedly: "Your Majesty is very concerned. Instead of letting rumors spread among the public, it is better for us to admit it and make it public. On the contrary, it can arouse the people's hatred of the enemy and the desire to protect their home and country. I will make arrangements immediately after I go down!"
King Qin Wulie half-closed his eyes, "Have you informed Mr. Zhongli?"
Ying Ying lowered his head and said: "My father fainted earlier, and I didn't have time to inform Mr. and Zhong Hou. I was also worried that recruiting two people into the palace in a hurry would cause others to speculate. After all, Fan Xiang has not been out for a long time since he entered the palace." .”
"Recruit them in!" King Wulie of Qin said softly: "Xiang Fan, go out and arrange the announcement. At the same time, announce the whole country to carry out general mobilization and prepare for a war."
&nb{Pig} Zhudao{小} said 3.zhu; "Your Majesty, will the Han army attack with all its strength?" Fan Sui asked.
"Not necessarily." King Qin Wulie shook his head: "No matter what the opponent does, we must be prepared. Only if we have no gaps can we let the opponent return despite the difficulties. Although our Daqin suffered heavy losses this time and injured our muscles and bones, our foundation is still there. I believe Gao Yuan will also see this, his target may not be us."
"I understand!" Fan Sui kowtowed, got up, and left the Black Ice Platform.
In the huge palace, only Ying Ying and King Wulie of Qin were left.
"Father, it will take time for Sir and Marquis Zhong to enter the palace. You should sleep for a while to recuperate your spirits!" Ying Ying advised.
"I will have enough time to sleep soon, and I won't wake up again, so now I don't want to sleep at all." King Qin Wulie stared at Ying Ying, "Ying Ying, how are you going to deal with this incident? "
Ying Ying thought for a moment, "My son thought, in Wei and Yuyang, General Meng and Lu Chao still have the upper hand. Don't worry. What we need to focus on is He Lanxiong's attack on Shannan County. After all, there are not many troops stationed there." , and the combat power is also insufficient. Father, my son asked Ying to go to Shannan County. As long as we can block this wave of Han troops, we can ensure that our Daqin homeland will not be invaded."
King Qin Wulie looked at Ying Ying for a long time, then shook his head with some disappointment: "Can you leave Xianyang in my current condition? If I close my eyes today, I may never wake up tomorrow. I feel like death. , but what will happen to Xianyang if you are not here?"
"Father will definitely live a long life!" Ying Ying fell to the ground and cried.
"You are really stupid. I, the great king of the Qin Dynasty, have never lived past the age of sixty." King Wulie of Qin chuckled, "Ying Ying, this time seems to be extremely thrilling, but in fact there is not much danger above. If so, The information is good, Gao Yuan will never come to our Qin State at this time, and his goals will definitely be more focused on the Chu State."
"Father, if that's the case, then you just asked Fan Xiang to launch a nationwide mobilization to prepare for a life-and-death battle with the Han army?" Ying Ying said in shock.
"Because the king knows that he has not been alive for long, so he wants to give you a clean Qin State!" A low and sad voice came from behind.
Ying Ying turned around and saw Li Ru dressed in white and Guan Nei Hou Zhongli following him.
"Sir, Mr. Zhong, why did you come so fast?" Ying Ying asked in surprise.
Li Ru sighed: "Although Fan Xiang blocked the news, Zhonghou naturally knew about it through some channels. Fan Xiang went to the palace and did not return for a long time, so Zhonghou informed me that we had been staying outside the palace. Originally, I I wanted to come in, but I didn’t expect the guards to hide behind closed doors, but it made me very worried about the king’s health.”
King Wulie of Qin coughed: "Sir, you must have thought that I went to see my ancestors, right?"
Li Ru walked to the bed without saying a word, lifted his robe and sat down cross-legged. Zhongli knelt on one side, holding his knees with his hands, and looked at King Qin Wulie with a heavy face.
Great Qin has now reached its most dangerous moment. Li Xin, the two pillars of the Qin Dynasty, has fallen, and no one can say how long King Qin Wulie can hold on.
"Zhongli, how many troops has Gao Yuan concentrated on Chu?"
"Back to the king, after the Qi State was in trouble, Gao Yuan gathered his Southern Field Army and the Qilu Army Corps, which was Bai Yucheng's army, plus Zhang Hongyu's newly formed First Army, and more than 100,000 troops invaded When they arrived at the territory of Chu State, Qu Wan's troops were insufficient and he was defeated in consecutive battles and retreated steadily."
"Where are the Han troops in Korea?"
"The Han army in Han is the northern field army led by Xu Yuan. This is Gaoyuan's main field army. It has been fighting the Donghu people in the past and is the main force that defeated the Donghu people. It has generals such as Yan Peng, Chen Bin, and Luo Weiran under its command. There are also Gongsun Yi, Luo Lei and other Hun cavalry generals, and the Han army’s Beiye cavalry were personally trained by Gao Yuan’s third wife, He Lanyan. They are good at group combat and are extremely powerful!”
King Wulie of Qin nodded and said: "Gaoyuan's four major field armies, Dongye is in the grassland, are now advancing towards Shannan County. However, Lu Chao and Meng Tian launched an attack on the Han Dynasty. He actually only allowed Ye Zhen's Central Army and his direct youth Two infantry corps of the Guards came to resist, but so many troops were concentrated in the direction of the Chu State. It is actually self-evident what Gao Yuanzhu intended."
"But the Han army in Beiye, South Korea, may turn around at any time!" Ying Ying whispered.
"You can see this, and you are right." King Qin Wulie nodded happily: "So we have to be prepared for a big war, but it is more likely that Gao Yuan will end the war with us, and then I’m afraid they are going to force us to negotiate.”
"Negotiation?" Ying Ying said angrily: "We have suffered such a big loss, how can we give up easily? He wants to negotiate, but we have to negotiate anything?"
"He has the upper hand now!" Li Ru sighed: "Gao Yuan doesn't want to continue this battle with us, otherwise when he sets out for the grassland, Xu Yuan's Beiye should have turned to attack Lu Chao, but They did not do this. This is the will shown by Gao Yuan. If we do not negotiate with them, Xu Yuan's army will turn around, and He Lanxiong's troops will not only come from the grassland."
"So, nationwide mobilization, I not only want to take this opportunity to leave you with a clean Qi State, but also to show my attitude to Han Gaoyuan. Negotiation is possible, but if he bullies people too much, I Great Qin is not afraid of a war. Sir, this time we have peace with Han, I can only trouble you to make a trip." King Qin Wulie said.
"Li Ru will never disappoint the King's hopes regarding matters within his duties, and will definitely ensure that Qin's interests will not be harmed." Li Ru bowed and said.
"You are responsible for the negotiations, Fan Sui is responsible for domestic government affairs, and then there is the military affairs!" King Qin Wulie sighed softly: "This is also the biggest problem. Zhongli!"
"I'm here!" Zhongli responded quickly.
"Go to Yuyang Mengtian and tell him that I am not going to die soon and I want to see him one last time." King Qin Wulie said calmly.
Zhongli's expression changed drastically.
"You have been friends with him for decades. You know how to tell him." King Qin Wulie said.
"I understand, but what if General Meng doesn't come back?" Zhongli asked.
"Meng Tian is not a fool. When he sees you, he should know what I mean." King Qin Wulie raised his eyebrows, "Let Meng Tian come back, and all his troops in Yuyang will be handed over to Lu Chao's command."
"yes!"
"Your Majesty, what should we do with the other 100,000 troops that Meng Tian left at the border of Qin and Chu?" Li Ruqing asked, "If we don't handle these 100,000 troops well, it will be a big problem."
King Qin Wulie closed his eyes for a long time, "Ying Ying, ask Tan Feng to come see me tomorrow. In the past two years, he has done well in Heibingtai, and Zhou Yu has done well in Meng Tian's army!"
"Your Majesty, you want the 100,000 troops to be handed over to these two people?" Even Li Ru was shocked when he heard King Qin Wulie's suggestion.
"These two people are indeed talented, but I think that in the Qin State, they can only serve as assistants, not as leaders!"
"I have my own sense of discretion!" King Qin Wulie looked at Li Rudao, "Sir, don't worry!"
Tan Feng sat in front of the study window, staring at a green pine in the small courtyard that he planted after coming to Xianyang. Now this green pine is as tall as a person, with spreading branches and leaves, and is growing very well. After the Quwo Mutiny , he and Zhou Yu took Ji Ling to Xianyang. Ji Ling was imprisoned, but he and Zhou Yu were entrusted with important tasks by the Qin people. Zhou Yu served as deputy general in Meng Tian's army, while he entered the underworld. The ice platform is located just below Zhongli.
As the former leader of Yan Lingwei in the Yan State and now the deputy of Heibingtai, Tan Feng's source of information is no worse than that of Zhong Li, the leader of Heibingtai. In Heibingtai, he has his own independent set of people to use.
Just as Zhongli already knew the news of Li Xin's defeat, he also knew this information at almost the same time. Every victory of Gao Yuan was like a sharp blade stabbing into his heart, but now he also He could only grit his teeth, because although he still held a high position in the Qin State, he had nothing to do with military power. Even if he wanted to kill the enemy, he could not use his strength. His battlefield was in darkness, which made him very upset. .
Another decisive battle with Gao Yuan was his only thought for the rest of his life. He originally thought that Gao Yuan would definitely be doomed this time, but he never expected that in the blink of an eye, the situation on the battlefield would change, and the hunter would Instantly switching roles with the prey, a hundred thousand troops were destroyed in one fell swoop. Not only did the lofty Han Kingdom not suffer a devastating blow, but the Qin Dynasty he had surrendered to was on the verge of danger.
Gao Yuan, can your luck always be this good? Tan Feng asked unwillingly in his heart.
A bright light flashed before his eyes, and Tan Feng raised his head in excitement. The sky was covered with dark clouds, and lightning drew long arcs in the air from time to time, illuminating the dark Xianyang. The rumble of thunder followed, and accompanied by the thunder , raindrops the size of beans plopped down.
If a hero emerges in troubled times, he may not be able to succeed! Tan Feng stood up and closed the window. This was Qin's disaster, and perhaps, it was also his own turning point. Li Xin died, and he died together with Li Xin. Those are all elite generals of the Qin State. Meng Tian has never been able to gain the trust of King Wulie of Qin. Only Ying Ying, the successor of Great Qin, served in Li Xin's army and Lu Chao's army, but he did not go there. , only Meng Tian holds an army, which fully explains the problem.
Amidst the rumbling thunder, Tan Feng sat behind the big case, reached out from the bottom of a pile of files, pulled out a document, and read it carefully. (To be continued...)
