Chapter 2240: Envoys from Nanyang arrive, the Fengling war begins
"Ma Chao and Yan Xing are different. Yan Xing doesn't have undue ambitions, but Ma Chao does."
Ying Hao couldn't help but recall Ma Chao's energetic, yet rebellious and handsome face, and couldn't help but smile lightly: "Ma Chao is a fierce horse. If you ride on it impatiently before it is completely tamed, it will backfire on the owner." of.
Yang Guang is the best horse trainer to tame Ma Chao. He will let Ma Chao know that his so-called pride is not worth mentioning. Finally, he puts aside all his pride and takes the initiative to join me. Only by joining me can he avenge his father. "
The fierce generals of the Qin army are like clouds and the generals are like rain. It is not too many for more horses to surpass one person, and it is not too many for few horses to surpass one person.
Whether Ma Chao surrendered or not had little impact on the Qin army, so Ying Hao hoped that Ma Chao would take the initiative to surrender to Qin, instead of sending envoys to promise a lot of money before Ma Chao surrendered.
There is a big difference between active surrender and passive surrender.
"Okay, Ma Chao's problem is just a trivial matter. What is really important is the founding ceremony of the country."
A serious look appeared on Ying Hao's face: "The Ministry of Rites sent news that the Nanyang land south of Jiaozhou also received the news that our country, Qin, was about to be founded. More than twenty countries took the initiative to send envoys to congratulate and watch the ceremony."
As for why these Nanyang forces were unwilling to travel thousands of miles to attend Qin's founding ceremony, Ying Hao guessed that it was probably because of Chu.
Don't look at Liu Xiu's Chu State, he is a younger brother in front of Qin State. Every time he provokes Qin State, he must bring Shu Tang and other brothers together before he dares to take action. However, in the eyes of the uncivilized barbarians in Nanyang, Chu State is simply like a giant. An invincible existence.
After Liu Xiu occupied Jiaozhou, there were Baiyue rebellions inside and barbarian invasions outside, so the fight was not stable.
But in the following years, not only Baiyue was completely conquered by Chu, but the Nanyang barbarians were beaten to the point of doubting their lives.
Many Nanyang forces headed by Ruan Phu Anh coveted the wealth of Jiaozhou and wanted to take Jiaozhou as their own, so they sent troops to Jiaozhou one after another, and even formed a coalition after the defeat.
The Chu State did not even use its main force, but only dispatched more than ten thousand partial troops, led by generals such as Li Xiucheng and Chen Yucheng. The Nanyang Allied Forces were unable to fight back at all.
Although the Chu State easily crushed the major forces in Nanyang, it did not take Nanyang into its heart. It still regarded them as barbarians, but the countries in Nanyang were already a little frightened.
The second-line army of the Chu State beat them until they cried for their fathers and mothers. If the main front-line army came to fight, wouldn't they be destroyed?
In order to protect themselves, various countries in Nanyang united one after another, but found that the Chu State was not interested in them at all. No matter how they jumped up and down, the Chu State had no reaction and simply ignored them, as if they didn't care about the ants on the roadside.
Although this was humiliating, it also made Ruan Fuying and other forces relieved. But Chu State could not care about them, but it was impossible for them to not care about Chu State. Therefore, they strengthened their intelligence collection on Chu State, but found an even more desperate situation. news.
In their eyes, the behemoth Chu State was just a line of vassals in the Central Plains, not the strongest one. The overlord of the Central Plains, named Qin, was the real most powerful country in the world.
As strong as the Chu State, it had to be treated with caution when facing the Qin State. It united several big countries to send troops together, but was defeated.
All in all, Chu State was as vulnerable to Qin as they were to Chu State.
Now that the King of Qin is about to establish his country and proclaim himself emperor, this has given the major forces in Nanyang an opportunity to embrace each other. If Qin State supports them, they will have more confidence to face Chu State, so they have sent envoys to attend with heavy gifts. Founding Ceremony.
"At that time, in addition to the major princes in the country, Yuan, Manchu, Yingnan, Barbarians, Tubo, Goguryeo and other surrounding foreign tribes, there will also be envoys from small countries such as the Twenty-four Kingdoms of the Western Regions and the Twenty-Nany Kingdom of Nanyang. It will be a great opportunity to promote the power of our Great Qin Kingdom. Therefore, there must be no mistakes in this ceremony.
There is still one and a half months left before the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China. Before the ceremony, the Battle of Guanzhong must end.
Military strategists, do you think Li Jing can successfully capture Chang'an within a month and a half? "
After hearing Ying Hao's words, Jia Xu, Zhang Liang, Liu Bowen and others glanced at each other, and Liu Bowen said: "Now that Huo Bing is blocked in Wuzhangyuan, with Huo Bing's ability and 60,000 cavalry in hand, there will be no suspense in defeating the Tang army." .
But now Huo Bing only has more than 30,000 cavalry under his command, and Li Shimin is personally stationed in Wuzhangyuan. It may be difficult to reach the city of Chang'an this way. "
In the imagination of Liu Bowen and others, Huo Qubing and his troops were the fastest to defeat the entire army in Chang'an City. However, Huo Qubing's division of troops weakened the entire army's combat power, and it was uncertain whether the victory could be guaranteed.
"Yoguan is temporarily built at any time, but after all, it is located in a favorable location. It is not difficult for Li Jing to break it, but it will take time. Tongguan and Hanzhong are both feints. The only breakthrough is Fenglingdu." Zhang Liang said. .
"Yes, if Zhang Liao can successfully attack Fenglingdu and enter Guanzhong, the battle of Guanzhong will soon begin.
Unfortunately, Zhang Liao's troops' intentions had been discovered by the Tang army, and the surprise attack turned into a strong attack, making it much more difficult to capture Fenglingdu. "
Jia Xu said with regret, after all, if their whereabouts had not been exposed, the unprepared Fenglingdu defenders would never have been able to stop Zhang Liao's 40,000 elite surprise attack, but now many variables have been added.
"Report...Fenglingdu sent back the battle report."
"Send it over quickly."
"promise."
After Qin Guo took it and took a look, he couldn't help but look serious.
The battle report was written by Zhang Liao himself. The general content is that although for some reason, the whereabouts of the Tang army were exposed, the surprise attack had to be changed to a strong attack, but the reinforcements from all sides of the Tang army had not yet arrived at Fenglingdu. Even with the Qin army's combat power, Even with a strong attack, Fenglingdu can still be captured.
Everything before the attack was as Zhang Liao expected, except that he underestimated Fu Cunshen's ability to defend the city and missed Kong Peng's surprise.
Although the number of defenders at Fenglingdu was small, only 8,000, Fu Cunshen was good at defending, and with the addition of three fierce generals who appeared from nowhere, they could barely hold on to Fenglingdu.
Seeing that Zhang Liao was unable to attack by force and the death squads were repelled by Kong Peng and other generals, Zhang Liao sent Lu Bu to lead several generals to attack by force.
I thought that it would be a sure thing for the famous Lu Bu to take down the unknown Kong Peng, but I didn't expect that Lu Bu would be defeated by Kong Peng.
This battle was destined to be famous all over the world. Lu Bu and Kong Peng first fought on horseback. Later, because Kong Peng could not afford his horse, Lu Bu took the initiative to dismount and fight Kong Peng on foot.
From morning to dusk, and from dusk to dawn, the two fought for countless rounds. The sky was dark and the earth was dark, and the sun and the moon were dark, which made countless soldiers and soldiers marvel.
In the end, Lu Buqi missed a move and lacked stamina, so he was defeated by Kong Peng.
