Chapter 1376: The Han Banner World (Sixty-Six) Wandering, Wandering!

The speed at which the Han army entered Wulong was obviously beyond Tan Feng's expectation. This made his attempt to turn Wulong into a white ground failed, and Yin Cuo's troops suffered heavy losses. According to Tan Feng's instructions, Yin Cuo divided his troops into several teams and went deep into various parts of Wulong to carry out large-scale raids and massive destruction. However, the Guli Xiongnu Independent Cavalry Division was like wind and fire. Before Yin Cuo could fully react, They have arrived in Wulong. When it comes to robbery and sabotage, the Huns used to be experts and were very proficient in this business. Although they have now become a regular army of the Han Dynasty, and the food, clothing and housing are all the responsibility of the Han Dynasty court, it does not mean that they can Forgetting these skills, they have been immersed in this industry since they were young. After arriving in Wulong, these experts were able to face these junior brothers under Yin Cuo with ease.

Gu Li used small units to fight small units, split the entire division, and specialized in dealing with those Yingzhou soldiers who were causing mischief in various parts of Wulong. The difference was that they were cavalry who came quickly. ][Pig][Island] Novel ww.zuhm goes quickly, sometimes gathering and sometimes scattering. Ji Yin Cuo was bleeding profusely.

By the time Yin Cuo came to his senses, he quickly gave up these actions, gathered his troops and retreated, he had already lost nearly 2,000 men. Under Gu Li's pursuit, he fled back to Tai'an in embarrassment.

From the time the Han army launched the attack on Yingchuan to the full occupation of Yingchuan and Wulong, it took the Han army less than half a month. Its speed and efficiency attracted the attention of the world.

In early July, two cavalry units of the Han army, the Xiongnu Independent Cavalry Division and the Donghu Independent Cavalry Division, had appeared in Tai'an. At this time, the main force of Yingchuan County led by Tan Feng was nearly 40,000 people stationed in Tai'an, and the war seemed to be about to break out in Tai'an.

"General, I'm afraid we can't hold Tai'an." Sima Yan's brows furrowed into the Chinese character "Sichuan", "Taian has also made people miserable because of Fan Sui's reforms. The price of food here is three times that of Yingchuan County. There is not much food at all. Now the trade route to Yingchuan has been blocked, and the trade route to the interior of Qin has also been cut off due to the outbreak of the civil war. The only smooth passage to Chu during this period. The volume of goods flow has also dropped by about half," Sima Yan said worriedly.

"The Chu people wanted to take advantage of the civil strife in the Qin Dynasty to send troops to occupy the southern area of ​​the Qin Dynasty. Now Zhou Yu has led his troops and horses to rush to Xianyang. The south has basically given up." Tan Feng sighed: "The Qin Dynasty is now It becomes a piece of meat that anyone can take a bite of, and indeed can take a bite of it.”

"What should we do now?" Yin Cuo frowned: "General, the Han cavalry troops have appeared in Tai'an. Since we can't defend Tai'an, where should we go? Otherwise, we might as well go to Xianyang. Go to King Qin like Zhou Yu, Ma Mayan, what do you think?"

Sima Yan thought for a moment and nodded: "For our current situation, it is also a solution, General. Now Lu Chao is unstoppable along the way. Most of the officials above the local level were controlled by the Li school. Lu Chao Chao is now in full swing, and we have suffered a new defeat. It is obviously not a good idea to seek refuge with Lu Chao at this time.

The icing on the cake, he must look down on us, but it is different to play the banner of King of Diligence. The king must be like an ant on a hot pot now. Bai Qi is being held back and cannot return to his army. Moreover, Bai Qi still has food and grass problems. Lu Chao will definitely make things difficult for him in this regard. Without food and grass, it will be difficult for him to move forward in vain. So at this time, the king will definitely give our King Qin a 120,000 welcome. As long as we arrive in Xianyang, we will be able to solve the current crisis. "

Tan Feng did not answer, his brows were furrowed, and he said after a while: "I remember telling you before that Lu Chao will win, but the king will lose."

"The general has said that, but the city of Xianyang is tall, and the 30,000 Xuanyi guards are the best of the Qin army. Plus Zhou Yu's troops, Lu Chao will not suffer in terms of military strength. If we go again, then in In terms of military strength, they have an absolute advantage. Why does the king think that Lu Chao will win?" Yin Cuo asked in confusion.

"Lu Chao must have a helper in Xianyang." Tan Feng said decisively: "He must have a back-up plan that he has not used yet. Otherwise, he would not be so confident. He can't figure out who his helper is. Next, we must not act rashly.”

"General, we don't have much time, right?" Sima Yan said in embarrassment: "If we continue to delay and hesitate, our food and grass will be in short supply."

"Wait a minute, wait a minute!" Tan Feng stood up and murmured: "You two, if Zhou Yu's Qin Wang army was not intercepted by Lu Chao's army outside Xianyang and could easily enter Xianyang City, we We have to make other plans, but if Zhou Yu enters Xianyang City easily, then we have to find another way out. "

Tan Feng's words made the two generals under his command dumbfounded. "General, I don't understand!" Yin Cuo stammered: "If Zhou Yu enters Xianyang City, wouldn't it be more beneficial to the king?"

"You are wrong. If Lu Chao lets Zhou Yu enter Xianyang City easily, it means that Lu Chao doesn't care about how many defensive troops there are in Xianyang City. He cares more about killing all those who oppose him in Xianyang City. But on the contrary, If Lu Chao desperately intercepts Zhou Yu and a fierce battle breaks out between the two sides outside Xianyang, we can attack with our entire army and go to Xianyang to help the king," Tan Feng said slowly.

"If, if it is the first case, what should we do?" Sima Yan felt a little bitter in his mouth. If it was the first case, they would definitely not be able to go to Xianyang. The world is so big, where is their place? Place?

Tan Feng walked to the map hanging on the wall and punched one place hard, "Let's go to Chu State."

The place where the fist fell was the Jiaocheng of Chu State.

"The Chu people have been showing their goodwill to me. I also understand that they just want to win me over and use our tens of thousands of powerful troops. Now their main force is attacking the southern part of Daqin with all their strength. Jiaocheng is empty. , we rushed forward with light cavalry and occupied this place."

"General, the Chu State is very friendly to us. It is also a place where we can raise food and grass funds in the future. If we occupy Jiaocheng like this, will they let them hate us? We have been attacked on several sides. If we provoke Chu again, The country, I'm afraid, it will make us angry!" Sima Yan said worriedly.

"There's nothing to worry about!" Tan Feng sneered: "Don't they always want to use me? Very good, let them use it as much as they can now. I will take Jiaocheng and settle down wherever I go. They won't have enough for even a moment. The troops are coming to deal with me, and I don’t want to cause trouble with them, I just need a place to stay. Maybe they will give us food, grass and weapons when the time comes!"

"What if they refuse?"

"If you don't want to, then don't blame me for being rude." Tan Feng sneered, "We can't defeat the Han army, so how can we defeat the Chu army? He wants to be tough, so don't blame me for stirring them up. Chaos, Chu Land is rich. Once we get there, even if we rob, we can raise enough military expenses. Besides, if we enter Chu Land, if the Han army wants to pursue us again, we will have to go to war with the Chu State. If this is the case, I will still I wish I could drag the behemoth Chu State down and fight together, it will be easier for our small force to survive. "

"Understood!" Sima Yan nodded repeatedly, "Only by letting these two giants work together, our worth will be higher and it will be easier for us to survive. Otherwise, neither of them will be able to defeat us if they concentrate their efforts. gain a foothold."

"That's the truth. Yin Cuo, take Jiaocheng, go there in person, gather all our cavalry, sneak wherever you want, and lay an ambush. If Xianyang is impossible, take action immediately wherever you go, and we will rush there. The army retreats to Chu State. Let's give up Tai'an to Gao Yuan."

"Yes, General!"

"Sima Yan, you are responsible for organizing the army and appeasing all the officers and soldiers. Yin Cuo will distribute some of the gold and silver he brought back from Wulong County to the soldiers first to appease their emotions. At this time, the morale of the army must be stable."

"Understood, General. I'll go wherever you go."

Tan Feng waved his hand and signaled Sima Yan to go and do the work. When Tan Feng was the only one left in the room, a bitter expression finally appeared on his face. Was he going to be a stray dog ​​that ran away again? Many years ago, he escaped from Jicheng in embarrassment and wandered to Qin State. This time, was he going to wander to Chu State again? The only difference is that this time I still have some strength and a little bit of bargaining capital.

On the outskirts of Xianyang, in Liquan County, Lu Chao's Chinese army was stationed here, and the vanguard troops had already arrived at the foot of Xianyang City. The Xuanyi guards in the city once went out of the city to fight with the vanguard troops. Both sides suffered injuries, and the Xuanyi guards followed. After retreating into the city, the road department also retreated ten miles to set up camp, waiting for the arrival of the large army.

"General, Zhou Yu's troops have arrived at Xingping. General Wang Changyong is ready to attack at any time. He will seal them in Xingping and prevent them from approaching Xianyang." Gou Xin hurriedly walked into Lu Chao's tent. As Gou Yi's younger brother, Lu Chao summoned him to the tent this time to listen to him. As for Gou Xin, he had not seen his brother for nearly half a year. This time when he arrived at the Chinese Army, he had not seen his brother Gou Yi for more than a month.

The road tent put down a secret letter in his hand, slowly put the letter in front of the oil lamp and lit it. Looking at the slowly burning flame, he smiled faintly: "Tell Wang Changyong to let the local guards he recruited to fight this battle. Don’t move his headquarters.”

"Zhou Yu has elite frontier troops under his command. How can those local guards be opponents?" Gou Xin was startled.

"Just let them lose." Lu Chao said with a smile. "If you don't lose, how can you let Zhou Yu enter Xianyang City?"

Listening to Lu Chao's words, Gou Xin's expression was very exciting. As a military general, he really couldn't figure out the secret here.

"Have you not seen your second brother for a long time?" Lu Chao threw away the remaining corners of his hand and asked with a smile.

"Yes, I haven't seen my second brother for half a year." Gou Xin nodded.

"Gou Yi is in Xianyang City now!" Lu Chao said calmly: "Soon, you will see him soon."

I estimate that I will be able to finish it before the Chinese New Year. Well, I can spend the New Year comfortably this year without having to worry about no updates. I feel very happy!
