King Huan ignored Xiangyin. It can only be said that he was greedy for small profits and short-sighted, which was not the behavior of a true king.
More than ten days later, the Lushan front.
After Li Po's troops were besieged, Yue Zheng certainly responded to the rescue, but the terrain of the battlefield here was complex, with plains, hills, steep mountains, and many important roads.
After being beaten back by Yan Qi for the first time and losing a small number of troops, Yue Zheng was not too anxious because Li Po's current situation was different from when Xuan Jun was besieged.
At the beginning, Xuan Jun only had half a month of food left. If he didn't break out, he would only starve to death, but Li Po didn't need this.
When the generals of the Yan Army were debating their troops, some generals also mentioned this issue, "Commander Yue, General Li Po intercepted the Allied supplies, and could easily hold on for a year and a half just by relying on danger. Qin and Xuan both It's of little use if the army is surrounded like this."
"Yes." Yue Zheng nodded and continued: "We are fighting on the mainland, and the coalition forces have a very long front. In terms of time, it is beneficial to us. The longer the delay, the harder it will be for the coalition forces to supply deliver."
"Moreover, it is reported that Huan's army has completely withdrawn from the battlefield, and Huan is no longer responsible for supplies. You can imagine how many miles King Qin's logistics have to travel. Their biggest drawback is in transporting food. If they are not careful, They will all fall into death.”
"Commander Yue's words make sense. His Majesty sent envoys to Huan this time. To be honest, it opened up a lot of situations for our frontline battlefield." The deputy general nodded repeatedly.
In a war, there are many aspects that determine the outcome. It is not just about having superior military strength. Logistics and supplies are actually the top priority.
The current battle situation is not very bad for Yan Jun, and even in Yue Zheng's view, it is somewhat advantageous.
However, after the discussion, he still said with some worry: "I just don't know if Li Po's camp is securely installed."
After hearing this, the deputy general smiled slightly and said: "Commander Yue, don't worry too much. General Li Po has been fighting for many years. There is definitely no problem in occupying the favorable location."
"Li Po is a brave man who is brave but has no plans. The King of Qin knew that he had a lot of food and grass, but he still chose to besiege him needlessly. Therefore, I am still a little worried."
Yue Zheng frowned slightly, but he couldn't tell what was wrong for a while.
And Li Po is much more comfortable than him now.
After setting up shop in Lushan, he cut down trees and sourced materials locally. Everything was very simple. He quickly built the village and made it look good.
At this time, he was drinking wine with several generals in the village.
These were all the Allied forces' previous reserves. There was really a lot of food, and Li Po didn't feel it was a waste at all.
While they were drinking, Youzhijiang's face turned red as he drank, and he couldn't help but say: "It would be really wonderful if there were a few more beauties on this mountain."
"Haha" Li Po heard the words, raised his head and smiled, and said: "You guys will guard Lushan with me. When the war is over, if we repel the coalition forces and return to the capital, your majesty will definitely give you a reward. By then, are you still worried about missing those few beauties? "
"What the general said is absolutely true, what he said is absolutely true..."
"Come on! Drink more!"
They ate meat and drank wine from large bowls in the village. They were really carefree, and they were not afraid that the coalition forces would attack Lushan.
At the same time, Qin Xuan allied forces camped.
The news of Huan Jun's retreat has naturally come. After learning about this, Xiao Yuan almost laughed out of anger.
I thought that after being defeated for a while, King Huan would immediately reflect on his mistakes, rectify military discipline, and deliver supplies again, but he didn't expect that what awaited him was to cut off allied forces.
Especially King Xuan, who was even angrier than Xiao Yuan. His face was covered with frost and his beautiful eyes were full of anger. He couldn't help but cursed:
"This old man! He is only greedy for small profits and has no regard for the righteousness of the Allied Forces. He is a clinging to the power, and he forgets about the fish and fish. He is in vain to be the monarch of a country."
She was so angry that she never cursed anyone without using a single curse word.
After hearing this, Xiao Yuan couldn't help but feel better when he saw her again: "Sister Wang scolded well, and the scolding was very satisfying."
King Xuan calmed down and said, "Brother Wang, I'm not scolding you, but I just can't bear it anymore. Now King Huan has cut off the logistics of our allied forces. Judging from the supply line, if Xuan's army wants to fight again, the transportation of food and grass will become a big problem." ."
"Well..." Xiao Yuan thought about it for a moment and said, "Xuanguo is really too far away from here. Not only is it a matter of distance, but it is also very likely to be robbed."
"Brother Wang is right." King Xuan was a little anxious.
Xiao Yuandao: "But don't worry too much about this. The supply issues for the Qin and Xuan armies can be transported from Xuzhou, Jinzhou and other places, which is much more convenient than Wang Mei's."
Hearing this, King Xuan couldn't help but glance at him, "In this case, brother Wang, please rest assured that after the war, I will return all the food, grass and weapons consumed by Xuan's army."
"Allied troops are on the front line, extinguishing the inflammation is important, why bother." Xiao Yuan waved his hand.
"Brother Wang is really a person who understands the overall situation." King Xuan couldn't help but praise.
"Sister Wang is joking."
Xiao Yuan stopped and did not want to say more about this matter. Instead, he glanced at Lin Chu who was standing below and said directly: "You should immediately send a letter to the Prime Minister and tell him that King Huan has withdrawn his troops and there is a problem with food and grass, so he should put down his government affairs. , personally supervise this matter."
"promise!"
The latter responded and was about to clasp his fists and leave, but Xiao Yuan stopped him again: "By the way, which two counties did King Huan get?"
"Ruyang and Dingzhou." Lin Chu returned.
"Oh?" Xiao Yuan raised his eyebrows and quickly went through these two positions in his mind. After fighting for such a long time and finally becoming king, he already knew the territory of this world well.
After thinking for a moment, he saw that Lin Chu was still there, looking like he was waiting for orders, so he waved his hand again.
The latter bowed and left.
After he left, King Xuan couldn't help but said: "Brother Wang, I heard that the military intelligence of the Qin Army is delivered by falcons. If our Xuan Army could do this, General Hongling wouldn't have been injured."
Her tone revealed a hint of jealousy. When Xiao Yuan heard this, he smiled slightly and said, "These are all the work of General Lin Chu. Okay, sister Wang, let's discuss the issue of Li Po's first unit."
When he mentioned this, King Xuan frowned slightly. It was impossible to attack the Lushan enemy by force, but if he didn't attack by force, what else could he do to them.
All the generals in the tent have been thinking about this issue in the past few days, but no one has been able to come up with an effective attack plan.
The fighting continued in a stalemate for more than ten days.
On this day, Xiao Yuan and King Xuan came outside again and looked at Lushan from a distance.
Behind the two men were some generals and counselors.
After looking at the mountains, Xiao Yuangang was about to return as usual, but at this moment, Shangguan Wenruo suddenly bowed his hands and saluted, and said abruptly:
"Your Majesty, I have a plan. With just a few clicks, I can destroy Li's army of hundreds of thousands."
