Ten days later, Bai Qi led an army of 50,000, followed by generals large and small such as Jia Fu, Zhao Yun, Gao Changgong, Dou Xian, Ju Yi, etc., and marched to Guanzhong with high spirits.
It is extremely difficult for Zhang Xutuo on the Western Front to face Su Lie alone. When Bai Qi's army arrives, even Zhang Xutuo may not be able to sustain it for long.
…
"Hahaha, Bai Qi did a good job!" Li Xiang put down the information in his hand and said with great joy, "Masters, Bai Qi has completely pacified the two princes Fu Jian and Ma Teng. The war in Liangzhou has basically ended. General Bai Qi Now we have led the army into Guanzhong!"
"Congratulations, lord, congratulations, lord, Liangzhou is established, Guanzhong is not far away!" Wang Meng, Liu Ji, Yue Fei and others said with great joy after hearing the news.
With the end of the Liangzhou war, half of the four passes in Yang Jian's pass have been lost. Next, it is time to launch a full-scale attack on Yang Jian.
Yang Jian would definitely not be able to hold out for long under a pincer attack from the east and west. Especially on the west road, most of Yang Jian's strong generals and elite soldiers were gathered on the east road. Compared with the west road where Zhang Xutuo was, there were mostly second-line soldiers, and the generals were not strong enough. Just facing Su Lie alone, Zhang Xutuo was already It's hard to hold on.
"Pengju, Bai Qiye has conquered Liangzhou, shouldn't we speed up here too!" Looking at Yue Fei at the bottom, Li Xiang couldn't help but smile.
Bai Qi and Su Lie worked together to basically pacify Liangzhou within half a year. On the contrary, they had little success here.
"Lord, I think we should postpone crossing the river at this time!" After hesitating for a moment, Yue Fei still said bravely.
"Speak up if Pengju thinks anything!" Li Xiang knew that his ability to lead troops was far inferior to that of Yue Fei, so naturally he would not act arbitrarily and follow his own whims. At least you have to listen to Yue Fei's thoughts before making a decision.
"My lord, I have crossed the river three times since my army was stationed here. However, Yang Su is a good man with troops. Our army successfully crossed the river with limited troops, and it was difficult to accumulate enough strength. The enemy troops were waiting for work on the south bank, so our army forced to cross the river. The casualties are really heavy!”
Yue Fei briefly introduced the situation of the past few days, which also made Li Xiang frown slightly.
Yue Fei was right. In each round, the number of troops that could break through the fire network set by Yang Su was limited. Most of the soldiers were blocked in the middle of the river by rain of arrows and catapults.
By the time the next group of soldiers landed, the previous group had suffered heavy losses and could not muster enough strength to successfully cross the river in one fell swoop.
"Pengju means waiting for the river to freeze before attacking it?" After hearing Yue Fei's explanation, Li Xiang couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, my lord, the weather has turned cold now, and the Weihe River will be frozen in ten months. By then, Yang Su will no longer be able to stop our army!" Yue Fei said seriously.
Nodding slightly, Li Xiang also felt that Yue Fei was right. However, Li Xiang also asked several military advisors for their opinions. After all, if you listen to one side, you will be dark, and if you listen to both, you will be enlightened. However, Wang Meng and Liu Ji generally had similar opinions to Yue Fei's and did not have any other good ideas.
"Does our army still have enough food and grass?" Li Xiang couldn't help but ask as he turned to look at Wang Meng. After all, it has been half a year since the war began. Tens of thousands of troops are fighting, and the amount of food and grass needed is not a small amount!
"Don't worry, my lord, but due to the war, Liangzhou is mostly flooded with disaster victims. When we get to Yongzhou, we will need a large amount of food and grass to help the people. I'm afraid that after this battle, our army will not be able to carry out large-scale military activities within three years!" Wang Meng stepped forward! Taking a step forward, he cupped his hands and answered.
"Okay, in addition, the military tents, quilts, cotton-padded clothes and other supplies must be fully prepared to fully supply the frontline soldiers!" Li Xiang couldn't help but start giving instructions as he thought about the war to come.
Fortunately, before the war started, he had already predicted that the war might be delayed until winter, and had already prepared all the supplies. Otherwise, how can we obtain the supplies needed by these hundreds of thousands of troops in a short period of time.
"Don't worry, my lord, Wen Ruo and Yi Wu have been preparing for a long time, and the first batch of supplies should have been distributed to all armies by now!"
Hearing this, Li Xiang felt relieved. This time, even if the battle is postponed to the next year, he must completely conquer the two states of Yongliang in one go, and must not give Yang Jian any chance to breathe.
While Li Xiang, Wang Meng, and Yue Fei were discussing the next step in the war, the news that Bai Qi had completely wiped out the feudal lords Fu Jian and Ma Teng swept across the world like a hurricane.
When the princes from all walks of life heard this, except for a certain person who was still immersed in the emperor's dream, they were all horrified.
Yuzhou.
"Your Majesty, now that the power of Liangzhou has been established, we must not sit back and watch Li Zifeng take Guanzhong again!" Yan Xiang stood in the center, looking up at Yuan Shu who was leaning on the dragon chair, and advised him earnestly.
"My beloved, don't worry too much. When I proclaimed myself emperor, only the King of Jin congratulated me. It can be seen that the King of Jin is devoted to our dynasty. How can we attack Zhongliang!" Yuan Shu played with the jade seal and asked about it. Yan Xiang's advice was ignored.
Hearing this, Yan Xing almost fainted as blood surged up from his mouth. Is Li Zifeng congratulating you on becoming the emperor? He is clearly thanking you for being a scapegoat and helping him attract the world's firepower. What was sent that day was a congratulatory letter, but it was clearly a sarcastic letter.
It's just that I think that's what I did, but Yan Xiang didn't dare to say that. If he really dared to say that, Yuan Shu would have to depose him even if he didn't kill him.
After sighing deeply and suppressing the depression in his heart, Yan Xiang continued to persuade, "Your Majesty..."
"Mr. Yan is a great Miao. From what I see below, instead of sending troops to the Jin Dynasty, it would be better for our dynasty to attack Jingzhou and Liu Biao southward. As soon as Jingzhou is reached, the lord can get hundreds of thousands of troops. Who can the princes in the world defeat him!"
Seeing Yan Xiang talking more and more enthusiastically, Li Shui immediately stood up and interrupted him. If he really persuaded Yuan Shu to have any bad thoughts, then he would be in trouble.
"Hmph, Liu Biao is an old man, how can I let him go!" As soon as Li Shui mentioned Jingzhou, Yuan Shu shouted angrily.
Yuan Shu was not a grand man. He had not forgotten that Liu Biao and Sun Jian were the first to send troops to oppose and attack him.
"What Aiqing said makes sense, I must win this Jingzhou!" Yuan Shu suddenly stood up and waved his hand.
At this time, Yuan Shu was becoming more and more fond of Li Shui. He thought of everything the same as him and thought of him wholeheartedly. He was indeed a loyal minister.
The more Yuan Shu looked at Li Shui, the more he liked him, but Yan Xiang was so angry that he couldn't even speak. At this moment, if they do not try their best to prevent Jin Wang Li Zifeng from growing stronger, then when the other party really dominates the five states, what qualifications will they have to maintain this broken court here.
