"...In this battle, our army captured the Han generals Duan Jiong, Di Qing, and Yu Xu alive, surrendered 170,000 elite Han soldiers, and beheaded more than 50,000! In addition, we also seized one million stones of grain and weapons that the Han army had hoarded in Bianliang City. There are countless warriors!"
Deputy General Manager Fu Youde stepped forward to report the results.
In the main hall, whether it was Gao Xi, Liu Bowen or Han Qinhu, they could not help but look happy after hearing the result.
Big win! This is an out-and-out victory.
In the past, Daxia had defeated hundreds of thousands of enemy troops and captured 200,000 to 300,000 soldiers and horses. However, the opponents at that time were not as large and powerful as Daxia, and those who were defeated were only ordinary soldiers. At this time, Daxia's opponents were elite armies with special units such as Youzhou Cavalry, Sanhe Cavalry, the Fifth School of the Northern Army, and Xiliang Iron Cavalry. The Eastern Han Dynasty was also the top dynasty in China.
Defeating such an opponent has a very different value.
Moreover, Bianliang was conquered, which had a great impact on the general trend of the world.
And Han Xin commanded millions of elites to defeat the Han army and capture Bianliang. It was a world-shattering battle, enough to make everyone in the world of China realize the ability of his military immortal.
However, Xia Jun also sacrificed a lot in this battle. In addition to Han Xin suffering a certain backlash, General Shi Wansui also suffered heavy losses.
With the tyrannical vitality of a Heaven Realm expert, his life would not be in danger, but it would take several months to cultivate.
In a short period of time, Shi Wansui would not be able to continue fighting.
"Hahaha, very good! This battle was a complete victory, and General Han was the first to take credit! All the generals also contributed a lot..."
Wang Jing laughed.
The civil and military personnel nearby also agreed. They all witnessed this battle with their own eyes. If Han Xin hadn't taken action and used the east road to camp the existing team, if they wanted to defeat the powerful enemy, without a year or two of fighting each other, it would be difficult to separate them. Win or lose.
When the leading generals and soldiers of the two armies are about the same strength, it is indeed very difficult to determine the winner.
Just like the two heroes in Guanzhong, they have been entangled with each other for several years, but there is still no result.
The backlash in Han Xin's body has not been completely eliminated, and his face is slightly pale. However, when he heard Wang Jing and everyone's sincere praise, his expression remained calm, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
After a while, the excitement in the hall subsided.
Gao Xi said: "Now that our army has captured Bianliang, Li Tang will definitely send people to urge our army to continue the westward attack on Xingyang...I think that Liu Xiu of the Eastern Han Dynasty still has more than a million elites and many famous generals, and his strength is still there. I If the army attacks Xingyang, the Han army will definitely fight to the death with our army. If Li and Tang envoys come, I suggest that our army should proceed with caution."
Wang Jing nodded slightly. Gao Xi was right, but he did not express his opinion. Instead, his eyes fell on Han Xin.
"General Han, what do you think?"
Han Xin said calmly: "I also think that the strength of the Han army is still there, and we are in a hurry. Moreover, our army is dividing its troops to attack various cities in the eastern part of the Central Plains. It will take time to gather our troops and regroup to the west!"
Han Xin was an unparalleled soldier, capable of commanding armies and making clever plans. His ability to capture fighter jets was rare in the world. As long as he saw a chance of victory, no matter what plan he had, he would implement it. But on the other hand, if there is no fighter plane in sight, Han Xin will become very cautious.
Historically, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu were defeated repeatedly in battles. They were in a state of embarrassment and kept asking Han Xin to send troops. However, Han Xin could not sense the chance of victory, so he sat still and watched Liu Bang defeated and fled...
This kind of behavior almost made Liu Bang angry. I remember all Han Xin's actions in my heart. Later, the cunning rabbit died and the lackey was cooked. This is also part of the reason.
At this time, Han Xin was still like this. Before Li Jing could cross the river, even if he could win by attacking Xingyang alone, he would still have to pay a high price.
The Ten Directions Kunyuan Formation is not something that can be used casually. It is a military killing formation that connects with the earth to suppress people with force. If the force is not strong, it cannot be taken easily. Otherwise, the backlash it receives can severely damage Han Xin.
Liu Bowen frowned slightly and said, "What both of you said is reasonable, but... Li Tang can definitely see our army's plan. When we formed an alliance with Li Tang, both sides decided
Dividing the Central Plains, if Li Tang cannot get the land in the Central Plains, it will certainly not benefit us. This point must be observed! "
Gao Xi wanted to sit back and watch Liu Xiu and Li Jing's confrontation for the time being, so that Daxia's East Route Army could regain its strength first. Han Xin looked at the problem with the eyes of the first army commander, but he couldn't see the opportunity for fighting.
No matter what they said, in essence, they all had the idea of sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight, and after Li Tang and the Eastern Han Dynasty consumed some more power, they relied on the east and west armies to swallow the entire Central Plains. Liu Bowen felt this and expressed his opinion aloud.
He felt that the actions of Gao Xi and Han Xin would only misunderstand Li Tang. Daxia wanted to swallow the entire Central Plains, but Li Tang only took Hanoi... Li Tang paid so much, but in the end Daxia got the greatest benefit. .
There is nothing so good in the world.
If Li Tang's envoy came, but the Xia army did not march as agreed, Liu Bowen felt that Li Tang would never give up, and he would not be surprised at what kind of reaction Li Tang would make.
Wang Jing was silent for a moment. His thoughts were similar to Gao Xi's. When he sent out troops, he was thinking about how to monopolize the Central Plains.
But Liu Bowen's words also reminded him that if Li Tang was not allowed to benefit, not to mention the collapse of the alliance between the two sides, Daxia would also suffer a huge backlash... from Li Tang.
At this time, Yu Yunwen, who had been acting as a secretary, suddenly said: "Li Tang will oppose our annexation of the Central Plains, just because the benefits obtained are not enough... I suggest that your Majesty might as well send an envoy to Taiyuan to renegotiate the alliance with the Tang Emperor .”
"Our court can hand over a thousand flying boats to the Tang army. If the flying boats fly across the sky, the original Taihang moat will immediately turn into a thoroughfare. Using flying boats to transport soldiers and horses, the Tang army can take advantage of the main force of the Ming army in the south to get out of Jingxing. , Feihu, attack Hebei directly."
"At that time, I will conquer the Central Plains and Li Tang will conquer Hebei. Wouldn't we get the best of both worlds?"
As soon as he said this, everyone in the hall was shocked.
Wang Jing was also shocked.
The flying boat Yu Yunwen mentioned was the improved flying boat that the Ministry of Industry and Daozhengsi had developed. It could transport soldiers, horses, food and grass, and the boat could control the air. No steep mountain peaks or rivers could affect it.
However, the first-generation wind-controlling flying boat required a large amount of rare materials and was too expensive. After research and improvement, the flying boat was still expensive to build.
A thousand flying boats may not sound like much, but they are definitely worth tens of millions of gold crystal coins.
"Build a thousand flying boats and give them to Li Tang, so that they could cross Taihang and attack Hebei. This plan..."
Gao Xi and Liu Bowen had a resonance.
After Yu Yunwen returned to Daxia, he served as the head of the Secretariat Supervisor very conscientiously and competently, but he never came up with any strategies. He seemed to lack the amazing talent and brilliance of the Caishiji War in history to preserve the Southern Song Dynasty.
But at this moment, a few words suddenly made everyone fall into silence.
"Now Li Mulian Po is leading the Ming army to fight against Ran Min and Li Ji. At this time, Chujingxing Feihu attacks the rear of the Ming army. It is indeed a surprise and has a great chance of winning. If it goes well, he can even attack the Tang army in the south from north to south and defeat the Ming army."
"It's just that if our army joins forces with Li Jing, we can defeat Liu Xiu and divide the Central Plains... Will Li Tang change his mind?"
Gao Xi said softly, a little unsure.
Moreover, he felt that Daxia only offered a thousand flying boats in exchange for Luoyang and other places that Li Tang wanted in the covenant... This kind of unfair behavior made Li Tang suffer. Liu Bowen nodded slightly at this time, but he didn't feel that Li Tang had suffered a loss.
You know, Li Tang's biggest problem now is that the east and west are separated by numerous mountains and the Yellow River, making it impossible to expand outwards with large armies.
The flying boat given by Daxia allowed Li Tang to directly ignore the terrain problem. Mountains and rivers could no longer block Li Tang's troops.
The flying boat may not seem to be of high value, but it is an important strategic weapon for Li Tang.
In contrast, if Li Tang gets Luoyang, he will still have to face the threat of the Western Han Dynasty and will not be able to expand at full strength.
A wise king like Li Shimin can definitely see the value of Feizhou.
"Li Tang will agree!"
Liu Bowen glanced at Gao Xi and said.
Gao Xi was also a top-notch smart man. He was just disturbed by Yu Yunwen's sudden words, but when he saw Liu Bowen's eyes, he suddenly understood.
"Yes, Li Tang will definitely agree! Your Majesty, please go to Taiyuan to discuss this matter with Li Tang in person."
It was rare for Gao Xi to take the initiative to ask for help.
Wang Jing was in a good mood at this time, because he saw the hope of Daxia to annex the Central Plains on his own, and he immediately said: "Okay, Zhaoxuan will set off immediately. It is best to get to Taiyuan before Li Tang's envoys arrive, so as to avoid Li Tang They thought we didn’t want to send troops and found excuses to do so.”
"If Li Tang still has objections, after I defeat the Han army, I can take the initiative to attack the Cao army, and use the ancient Yellow River road as the boundary with them to hand over Cao Wei's Dongchang, northern Jinan and other places to them..." Cao Wei's current territory is mainly in Qinghai In the land of Qi, the territory on the north bank of the Yellow River occupies one-third and a quarter. If compared horizontally, the area is almost the same as Luoyang.
This can be regarded as compensation for Li Tang's previous efforts.
After Gao Xi received the order, he made preparations, took the Yufeng flying boat, and rushed to Taiyuan as quickly as possible.
Yufeng Flying Boat, this treasure was also brought to the Yufeng Flying Boat when Wang Jing went north from Jinling. After all, the east road camp went deep into the hinterland of the Central Plains, and the dragon energy of Daxia had not yet extended to this place. If in danger, Wang Jing can retreat in a flying boat.
At this moment.
After seeing the phantom of the Han general Ma Yuan's death, various places in China recovered from the shock, and then the situation in various places immediately changed.
Inside Xiangyang City.
Han generals Feng Yi, Jia Fu, Cen Peng, Liu Laozhi, Liu Muzhi, Zhou Yu and others, as well as Zhang Fei and Pang Tong who came to support the Shu Han army, all looked ugly.
Because the Han army was defeated on the east route, it would not only affect the eastern part of the Central Plains, but Xiangyang would also be affected.
"If the East Road is defeated, Luoyang will send a large number of generals and soldiers to support Ma Dong. Support for Xiangyang will drop a lot, and the Xia army will definitely spread the news of the East Road defeat to suppress the morale in the city! "
Feng Yi's face was as solid as iron, and he kept thinking in his heart.
He now has a headache because the pressure on him is stronger than before.
After a while.
He glanced at everyone and said slowly: "Now the situation in our country is critical. If Xingyang on the east road is defeated again, the overthrow of the dynasty is imminent... General Zhang, now I can only ask you to send a message to Hanzhong and ask Prime Minister Zhuge Coming to support!"
Inviting Zhuge Liang to come is Xiangyang's final plan.
At this time, Feng Yi had to ask Shu Han for help in advance because he was worried that Xia Jun would make other moves.
"Okay, leave this to me!"
Zhang Fei said seriously.
Yue Fei outside the city still didn't know that he would have the honor to face Zhuge Liang, the Prime Minister of Shu Han, in a short time.
If it comes to uniting and commanding troops, Yue Fei can defeat Zhuge.
After all, Yue Fei's commanding ability ranks among the top ten in the entire history, and he is a truly peerless commander.
Zhuge Liang is an all-rounder, and his main abilities lie in internal affairs and making suggestions. As for his ability to lead troops, there are mixed reviews in later generations. Some people say that he is a top-notch commander who has no choice but to make plans, while others say that his reputation is greater than his strength and that his ability to lead troops has been exaggerated.
However, Zhuge Liang's ability may have been exaggerated, but he still has first-rate and above-average commanding abilities.
And his ability to command defense is even top-notch. The leader will almost never fall into the trap and can steadily suppress Sima Yi, who was the number one in the Wei state at the time.
In the world of China, there is the blessing of the Eight Formations.
Even for a peerless commander like Yue Fei, if he wanted to break through Xiangyang City with the blessing of the Eight Formations, his chances of winning were slim.
call!
The wind howled.
In the land of Guanzhong, the Qin army's black banners were erected high, and the strict Qin army formation in front was fighting a bloody battle with the red Han army.
On the earth, evil spirits are steaming, and dead soldiers are everywhere.
Bai Qi held the battle sword at his waist and stood on the chariot in the middle of the Qin army. He looked to the opposite side from a distance, with no trace of emotion on his face.
, the Qin soldiers who died in the battle were just a number to him.
His eyes were clear and clear, without any evil aura... But this clarity was more like an extremely cold and ruthless look, just like the heaven above, which regarded the creatures on the earth as ants.
"Report... Your Majesty has a decree!"
At this time, a horseman came galloping from a distance, ran not far from the chariot, and took out the emperor's handwriting.
Lieutenant General Meng Ao took the handwritten letter and found nothing unusual, and then handed it to Bai Qi.
Bai Qi opened the handwritten book and glanced at it, his eyes fluctuating slightly.
"General?"
Meng Ao looked at him with a questioning look.
Bai Qi slowly put away his decree and said: "Your Majesty has a decree that our army should choose the opportunity to launch a general attack. Even if hundreds of thousands of elites are killed in battle, the Yulin Army of the Han Army must be left behind..."
"this?"
Meng Ao was a little shocked. He didn't expect His Majesty to issue such an order.
Bai Qi understood the meaning of this order in his heart, but he did not explain it to Meng Ao.
The Eastern Han Dynasty was defeated, and the generals of Tianjing died in battle... Moreover, powerful enemies were attacking from the north and south of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Without external support, decline was imminent.
The only people who could support the Eastern Han Dynasty were the Western Han Dynasty and the Shu Han Dynasty.
The Three Han Dynasties are integrated into one body, and their Qi and numbers are connected.
Da Qin, on the other hand, will take advantage of this opportunity and pay a huge price to defeat the Western Han Dynasty and add fuel to this momentum.
