Bingzhou, Wuyuan County, Jiuyuan County.
Jiujiu was originally a small and barren county. It used to be a mixture of Hu and Han people and was inconspicuous.
Because of its proximity to the Xiongnu and Xianbei, it was often plundered.
The people were miserable.
Decades ago, a fierce general named Lu Bu appeared.
The phrase "I am Jiuyuan Lu Bu" made this small county famous.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long.
Lu Bu was defeated and killed, and Jiuyuan fell silent again, gradually disappearing from people's sight.
Later, Liu Zhang defeated Xianbei and caused civil strife in Xianbei, leaving Xianbei unable to move south.
In the battle of Hetao, the entire southern Xiongnu was surrounded and annihilated, and the word Xiongnu was completely wiped out from the territory of the Han Dynasty!
Jiuyuan finally found peace.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long.
As Qin built a city in Hetao, Jiuyuan became the main frontline between Qin and Wei.
Although the two countries are in an alliance, everyone knows that there is no room for two tigers in one mountain.
Between Qin and Wei, there will be a battle sooner or later!
There can only be one king in the world.
Therefore, the few remaining people in Jiuyuan County were relocated.
Wang Ling, the capital of Bingzhou, even frantically expanded Jiuyuan County, turning it into a frontline against Qin.
These are nothing. There has never been any friction between Qin and Wei, and everything is in a peaceful stage.
Until three days ago.
Tens of thousands of cavalry entered at night, giving Jiuyuan the smell of gunpowder smoke.
The Jiuyuan Warlord General's Mansion was originally Wang Ling's residence.
At this moment, in the conference hall, the person in charge has changed.
Wang Ling could only sit at the bottom of the table, but he had no complaints.
This young man on the throne is a person who makes the whole world fearful.
He was even hailed as a genius by King Liu Zhang of Qin!
It was none other than the military advisor of the King of Wei, Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao.
Three days ago, Guo Jia personally led 50,000 cavalry and shocked Wang Ling.
He thought he had done something wrong and would be held accountable by Cao Cao.
Guo Jia just smiled and told him not to be nervous.
No matter what Wang Ling asked, Guo Jia smiled and said nothing.
For three days, Wang Ling had no chance to see Guo Jia.
Today I finally got the news that Guo Jia is going to call a meeting with all the generals.
Wang Ling couldn't wait to follow the order.
Not long after he sat down, before the generals arrived, Wang Ling asked directly.
"Commander Guo, are you going to war with Qin?"
Guo Jia still smiled.
"General Wang, don't worry, we will make a decision today!"
Wang Ling didn't dare to say anything.
"As you command!"
Now Wang Ling is not afraid of war with Qin, but impatient!
He had long wanted to fall out with Qin.
Three years ago, my brother Wang Chen died tragically in the Hetao. Is this the end of the matter?
But the Wang family of Bingzhou seemed too small in front of Qin Wang Liu Zhang.
Wang Ling was also powerless.
Therefore, Wang Ling looked forward to Cao Cao's break with Liu Zhang day and night, so that he could personally lead the army to avenge his brother.
Today, Wang Ling finally saw hope, and Wang Ling felt itchy.
After waiting for a while, the generals came one after another.
Wang Ling did not dare to maintain his identity and kept showing his hands to everyone.
None of these people are ordinary people!
Liu Xun, Wang Zhong, Du Xi, etc. are all generals of Cao's army.
There are also outstanding young men from the clan such as Cao Chun, Cao Xiu, Cao Zhen, Cao Zhang, and Xia Houshang.
"Everyone, I call you here today. I have something to inform you."
"The 100,000 infantry troops led by General Cao Hong will arrive in Jiuyuan tomorrow!"
When everyone heard this, they all showed joy.
Wang Ling was even more shocked.
Unexpectedly, there will be another hundred thousand troops later!
Together with the 50,000 Bingzhou troops stationed in Jiuyuan and the 50,000 cavalry led by Guo Jia himself, the number of soldiers has reached 200,000!
Wang Ling never believed that Guo Jiahui was walking around Bingzhou with an army of 150,000 people for no reason.
Since it’s not just for a walk, it’s very purposeful!
Just as he was about to ask, Guo Jia nodded to him.
"Yes, we are going to war with Qin!"
Wang Ling trembled slightly and immediately stood up to ask for orders.
"Commander Guo, I am willing to lead the Bingzhou Army as the vanguard!"
He had been waiting for this moment for three years!
Guo Jia smiled and waved his hand.
"General Wang is unparalleled in his loyalty and bravery, and he is worthy of being a general!"
"It's just that this march will focus on surprise attacks and the speed of soldiers!"
Wang Ling was afraid of not taking him with him, so he walked out and knelt down on one knee.
"If the military advisor doesn't let me lead the attack, I would rather die on my knees here!"
Guo Jia quickly stood up and helped Wang Ling up.
"How could this sneak attack on Chang'an be possible without the help of General Wang?"
"Chang'an?"
Wang Ling couldn't help but be startled, and then his face was full of worry.
"Military advisor, this place is too far from Chang'an!"
"By land route, there are three cities in the Hetao, and Beidi County blocks it. By water route, the Qin army has troops stationed at various passes. If you want to make a surprise attack, it is almost impossible..."
Over the years, Wang Ling has conducted a large number of investigations into the Qin State.
As a result, the more I investigated, the more frustrated I became.
The entire Guanzhong was actually prepared without any omissions.
No matter how small the gap is, the Qin army has arrangements.
There are so many open and hidden sentries.
Let alone a large army attacking, it would be difficult to go alone without being discovered.
Therefore, Wang Ling's first reaction was after hearing Guo Jia's plan to attack Chang'an. . .
Awkward.
Wang Ling dared to use his head to guarantee that this plan would never be realized.
Therefore, it is almost impossible to put it mildly.
If the target was not Guo Jia, Wang Ling would bluntly say, don't kill the Qin army!
"Haha, General Wang, don't worry, our military advisor has his own means."
Wang Ling bit the bullet and persuaded again.
"The military advisor has great wisdom and plans, and the general will naturally admire him! However, there are three strong cities blocking the way in Hetao right now, which is very difficult!"
Guo Jia smiled and nodded.
"My military advisor is aware of this and has solved it long ago."
"What!"
Wang Ling exclaimed.
But there is still some distrust in my heart.
Guo Jia has only been here for three days, but he can't leave the general's mansion without taking a step forward. How to solve this problem?
Even a million-strong army could do nothing for those three cities.
Is it possible that Guo Jia can still say that the city wall collapsed with his words?
"What is the military advisor going to do?"
Guo Jia did not answer, but pointed to the seat.
"General Wang, don't be anxious. Just sit down for a while."
Wang Ling understood it as soon as he heard it.
There must be no way to force bragging!
"Commander Guo, those three fortified cities are no small matter, so don't be careless!"
"Over the years, I have investigated the three cities countless times, and found no loopholes at all!"
"If there is no clever plan, even an army of 200,000 people will be helpless!"
Guo Jia was a little helpless. He didn't expect Wang Ling to talk so much.
"General Wang, my military advisor said there is a solution. Can you wait quietly for a while?"
Who would have thought that Wang Ling wouldn't listen at all, but instead questioned like crazy.
"What clever plan does the military advisor have? From the general's point of view, unless the defenders surrender, there is absolutely no possibility!"
Guo Jia frowned and then nodded.
"Yes, my military advisor is asking the defenders to surrender in Kaicheng!"
