The 100,000 reinforcements were led by a general named Guan Jie. In terms of military ability, he was actually not as good as Li Ji. However, he was cautious in his life and was quite decent.
His mission was mainly to rescue Li Ji from being besieged in Daliang Mountain, but before he could arrive, news of the defeat from the front had already arrived.
After listening to what the spy said, Guan Jie couldn't help but stand up, and then his eyes widened: "What!? General Li Ji's army has been wiped out!?"
"Yes...yes." The spy returned cautiously: "General Li was trapped for six days, his food, grass and water sources were cut off, and the entire army had no soldiers left to fight..."
"Oh!" After hearing this, Guan Jie couldn't help but exclaimed: "This, this, this, what should I do!"
There were other generals standing below. After seeing this, one of them came out and clasped his fists and said: "General, since our army has no hope of rescue, after Su Yi breaks through General Li's defense line, the next target must be Puyang. In my opinion, we are very close to Puyang now, so we might as well station ourselves in the city first, and then send a letter to the royal court, reporting the details and asking the king to make a decision."
"Yes, yes, hurry up, hurry up and pass the order..." Guan Jie also responded.
"No!" The general took the order and left.
Battle reports from both sides began to be sent back to their respective countries one after another.
Qin Palace.
"Report"
Under the steps outside the main hall, soldiers were running hurriedly.
In the court meeting hall, the ministers were still attending court. When they heard this voice, they couldn't help but turn sideways and look back.
Because Xiao Yuan had the king's order during the war, and the military information on the front line could reach the royal court directly, so at this moment, the soldiers with military information can enter the court meeting hall.
All civil and military officials in the court fell silent. Xiao Yuan also silenced his voice and waited quietly for the soldiers to come.
The soldier ran very fast. After entering the hall, he immediately knelt down and clasped his fists, panting and saying:
"Your Majesty, we have a great victory on the front line. One hundred thousand Jin troops have been completely wiped out!"
"What!?" Hearing this, Xiao Yuan couldn't help but stand up. He was wearing a royal uniform, a royal crown on his head, and nine strings of jade beads on his forehead. He reached out and pointed at the soldiers kneeling below, and said impatiently:
"Detailed description."
"Yes!" the soldier responded, then took a few breaths and said:
"General Su Yi lured the enemy deep on the west bank of Baishui and led the Jin army to the Xuanshi territory. After that, he cut off the Jin army's supplies and carried out a roundabout encirclement. He fought for six days near Daliang Mountain in a valley about 35 miles long. , and finally annihilated the Jin army. In this battle, our army beheaded more than 90,000 people..."
After the soldier finished speaking, the ministers on the left and right began to whisper among themselves.
Xiao Yuan was shocked and couldn't help but said: "Okay! Okay! After Jin's defeat, the border defense line has been completely broken, and our army can fully invade Jin!"
"Your Majesty, I have other military information. The King of Jin has appointed Guan Jie as a general and commanded one hundred thousand troops in an attempt to support Li Ji. At this time, we should rush to the vicinity of Puyang." The soldier said again.
"Yes." Xiao Yuan nodded, and after thinking for a while, he said immediately: "Immediately send an order from my king to tell Su Yi not to rush to attack Puyang first, but to station troops in the Jin Kingdom and capture the counties near Yiyang. !”
"No!" the soldier took the order and left.
After he left, the ministers of Qin were obviously still in a state of shock. Wasn't Su Yi already replaced?
Especially the Ancestral Temple Commander Song Yiting. His mood could not be said to be good or bad, but there was no doubt that he was a little nervous.
At this time, a minister stood up and saluted and said: "Your Majesty, our army has won a great victory. It is gratifying to congratulate you. But I don't know, didn't your Majesty the previous time put General Su Yi on death row in front of everyone? , why is this..."
"Haha!" Hearing this, Xiao Yuan smiled and said with a smile: "It seems that all the ministers are very surprised. The previous events were all due to the fact that there were many Jin State lurking in Qinzhou, and they were hiding behind the scenes. Removing Su Yi is also a last resort for me."
Hearing this, everyone understood. Jiang Yi stood up quickly and flattered him: "Your Majesty is wise and mighty. He makes plans, changes commanders on the surface, and confuses the King of Jin. All these things really make me admire him. …”
Jiang Yi is talented, smooth, loves to flatter, likes to flatter Xiao Yuan, and is utilitarian. He has many shortcomings, but at the same time, if this kind of person is used well and correctly, it will be a big help.
Xiao Yuan seemed to have become accustomed to his flattery. He waved his hand and said: "Okay! This coaching change is thanks to the help of the Jin State. If they didn't inform the Jin State about Su Yi being sent to death row, King, the war will not develop to such an extent. Of course, the success of this battle lies entirely in Su Yi's military deployment and the bloody fighting of our soldiers."
While speaking, he glanced at Song Yiting casually.
The latter quickly bowed his head, his heart was agitated, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead unknowingly.
After glancing at him, Xiao Yuan withdrew his gaze, then took two steps back and forth in front of the king's case and said: "If the Jin Kingdom is defeated this time, the King of Jin will definitely become angry and humiliated. In my opinion, I am afraid that he will give up the fight with the king." Liang Guo Guangling battle, and then use all their strength to deal with Qin."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shangguan Wenruo stood up, bowed his hands and saluted: "Your Majesty is very concerned. Jin and Liang are fighting each other, each sending one hundred thousand troops. Although the war continues, each has its own victory or defeat, but our country has In the Yiyang area, one hundred thousand Jin troops were beheaded. Comparing the two, one can imagine the King of Jin's heart. He will most likely recognize Guangling as the territory of Liang and make peace with it."
"That's right." Xiao Yuan pointed at him and continued: "If this is the case, it will become a battle between Qin and Jin. This is not what I want to see. Therefore, Liang Guo still needs to use Use diplomatic means to encourage the King of Liang not to give up his determination to attack Jin."
If Qin and Jin go to war unilaterally, I am afraid that the whole country will have to mobilize the strength of the whole country. If so, in the end, even if Qin wins, it will be very dangerous, because there are still other countries in the world.
This matter must be discussed. In the court meeting hall, Xiao Yuan put forward some opinions that prompted the King of Liang to send troops, and then prepared to use Jiang Yi as an envoy to rush to the capital of the Liang Kingdom, ready to deal with the war at any time.
After the next court, in the palace study.
Xiao Yuan glanced at Liang Yuan, who was standing respectfully below, and asked in a calm voice: "Are those Jin's secret agents under secret control?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, the Duwei camp can take action at any time." Liang Yuan returned.
"Yes." Xiao Yuan nodded: "Song Yiting can be arrested now. Catch all those craftsmen in one go and don't miss anyone."
"Wei Chen understands! Please rest assured, Your Majesty!"
No matter how shrewd the Jin State was, this was the capital of the Qin State after all. Once they found out where they were hiding, there was no need to say anything more about whether the capital guard camp wanted to catch them.
After the operation was carried out, Liang Yuan also personally led people into Song Yiting's mansion that night.
When the latter was arrested, he kept shouting: "I am an official of the imperial court! I am the order of the Imperial Ancestral Temple! Why do you all have the right to arrest me! Who gave you the right!"
Liang Yuan ignored him and took him directly to the prison of Duwei Camp. Then he pushed him over and pointed at the leader of Jin Guo Xizuo on the torture rack: "Do you know Mr. Song?"
Seeing this person, Song Yiting's eyes widened immediately! Didn't he say that he acted very carefully, but he was caught anyway.
At this time, he knew that he was exposed and could no longer quibble. Instead, he sat down on the ground, his face was pale, and he cried tremblingly:
"This, this, this, Mr. Liang... all blame me for being confused and being arrogant..."
