It is these 100,000 troops that Xiao Yuan wants to mobilize. The battle has reached this level. In order to complete the siege of Puyang, there is no doubt that Qin will increase its troops.
From this point of view, the ministers have no reason to object. However, after going to court, Liu Yuzhi went to the palace study alone and asked to see Xiao Yuan.
In the study room, Xiao Yuan was spreading a map on the desk. He first found Shanyuguan, then slowly moved his finger to the right, and murmured at the same time: "Puyang is here... This is where Jin and Liang are fighting. The land... Jindu is here..." He was thinking about something. At this moment, footsteps came. Xu Hu stepped in, clasped his fists and shouted: "Your Majesty." Xiao Yuan stopped thinking and looked up at him. : "Is he the Prime Minister?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Let him come in." After a while, Liu Yuzhi entered, first saluted, then bowed slightly and stood below.
His request for an audience seemed to be expected by Xiao Yuan. Before he could speak, he sighed softly and said: "The Prime Minister is here, I understand."
"Your Majesty..." Liu Yuzhi moved the corners of his mouth, wanting to say something. Xiao Yuandao: "I know that it is a matter of national strength. It can no longer support the army to go on an expedition. However, Prime Minister, this battle must be fought, and I, the king, have no choice."
"In our country of Qin, the prime minister knows everything about people's livelihood and taxes, the collection and distribution of gold and silver, and the allocation of money and grain. No one can do these better than you!"
"Qin needs a prime minister, Qin's army needs a prime minister, and I, the king, need a prime minister!"
"No matter how difficult it is, I believe that the Prime Minister will be able to overcome all difficulties and handle this matter well. Please give me my thanks!" As Xiao Yuan spoke, he directly bowed his hands and bowed slightly to Liu Yuzhi.
You must know that he is the king, and Liu Yuzhi is his minister. How dare he accept such a gift? He had a lot of troubles to tell, but he knelt down in a hurry and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, you have to punish me. Since I have the king's order, , I must do my best to make our Qin army have no worries..."
"Okay, okay, Prime Minister, please get up quickly." Xiao Yuan quickly stretched out his hand to help him up. This is a genius in internal affairs, with endless supply of food. Xiao Yuan has fought so many battles. Every time he goes on an expedition, as long as Liu Yuzhi is behind him, he is guaranteed.
Two days later, the capital of Jin was reached. The palace study. Defeat is coming. King Jin was in a very good mood before, because in the previous battle reports, the situation was so favorable to his side.
He was originally full of confidence, thinking that based on national strength, the Qin army would not be able to hold on for long, but it had only been a few days, and the news of defeat had arrived!
At this time, he was holding the silk book with trembling hands, and couldn't help but murmured: "How is it possible... How is this possible!"
"Your Majesty..." Prime Minister Jin stood below, his mouth moving, wanting to say something, but he didn't dare. As if he didn't want to believe it, the King of Jin still took the defeat report and said in a trembling voice: "A few days ago, General Guan Jie sent back a battle report. The Qin army could not advance an inch. Our army resisted the enemy for ten months. A full ten months. Ah, isn't the Qin army about to be defeated! This! How could this happen!" As the prime minister of a country, Prime Minister Jin was of course sad, but he had to remind him: "Your Majesty... these have become It's a fact..." After hearing this, King Jin couldn't bear it any longer, and his grief was released all at once: "Guan Jie, Guan Jie, you are hurting me! You are hurting the country of Jin..." After shouting sadly , he also quickly calmed down, and said quickly: "No! After Guan Jie's defeat, Puyang is besieged, and the King of Qin will definitely increase his troops. If at this time, the Qin army separates an elite force and attacks our capital of Jin, the whole country will be destroyed." It's in danger!" As he spoke, he immediately said: "Quick! Pass the king's order to tell Ren Ying to allocate part of his troops to block the Qin army's eastward advance. Good for their city! We, the Jin Kingdom, still have room for maneuver!"
"Wei Chen understands, let's do it now." Jin Lian responded hurriedly. King Jin is not a foolish king, he is just used to being arrogant and domineering, and is a bit blind and arrogant. There is no problem with his decision-making at this time.
Under his king's order, the prefectural guards and armed forces in various places in the Jin Kingdom were young and strong, which was bound to slow down the Qin army's advance.
At the same time, Liangzhou, Liangwang Palace.
"Your Majesty, according to reports, the Qin army has won a great victory in Puyang. Su Yi used the help of the weather to accumulate floods and destroyed the entire Jin army's defense line with turbulent water. Guan Jie's 100,000-strong army was almost wiped out, and he himself was captured alive by the Qin army. ." In the study, Cai Yan bowed slightly and reported.
After hearing what he said, King Liang couldn't help but widen his eyes, couldn't help but stand up and said: "The Qin army won!?"
"Yes." Cai Yan returned.
"Okay, okay!" King Liang said excitedly at first, and then said: "I thought that the war would last for ten months, and King Qin would withdraw his troops one after another when he had no choice but to consider the national strength of Qin. Now it seems that this The king's worries are unnecessary." As he spoke, he also sighed slightly: "When the Prime Minister of Qin came to Liang, Su Yi once called him a famous general in the court. At that time, I still remember that he cited The ministers in my court were ridiculed for a while. Now it seems that they are indeed not exaggerating. After the war, this person will be listed as a famous general by the imperial historian." Cai Yan received: "Su Yi will defeat Li Ji first, and then Po Guanjie, the military planning during this period is remarkable, I can only say that the King of Qin knows how to use people."
"Brother King Qin, I should not be underestimated." King Liang glanced at Cai Yan. The latter said: "The Qin army is good at fighting. It has resisted the divisions of the four countries. And there is such a monarch. He is the king of tigers and wolves, and the divisions of tigers and wolves. If they are allies, they will benefit from each other, but if they are enemies..." At this point, Cai He stopped talking and raised his head to look at King Liang.
A faint light flashed in King Liang's eyes, and then he raised his hand and said: "It's too early to say this now. Since the Qin army won a great victory in Puyang, it's time for our Liang army to advance forward, and use our national strength to Come to think of it, if the Guangling front does not break through, the Liang Kingdom will not be able to hold it back."
"The king means..."
"I want to go to the front line personally to boost the morale of the army and send another hundred thousand troops to Guangling!" King Liang said directly. He made a decision and immediately took action. With the king's order, he mobilized the Central Army of Liang Kingdom and rushed to the front line of Guangling.
At this time, in ten months, Xue Wu had fought with Ren Ying countless times. During this period, both sides suffered losses, and it could be said that no one could do anything to the other.
Ren Ying had previously planned to use Songling as bait to lure Xue Wu into a surprise attack. The latter did go, but he did so knowingly the bait.
In other words, Xue Wu had seen through Ren Ying's plan, but still sent 50,000 elite troops to cross the mountains and occupy Songling.
He is so bold, so he naturally has some support. As a result, this battle was almost a draw because both sides calculated against each other and were prepared for each other, which actually changed the situation of the battle.
The front lines of both sides have also become intertwined. ABC
