The latest military information is related to Liaodong in the north. Before the Ming army in Youzhou was destroyed, Zhao She, who was guarding the east, was transferred back. There were no elite troops guarding the east, and the Jin Kingdom got the information.
Therefore, Wanyan Zongbi and Wanyan Yinshu of the Jin Kingdom could immediately seize the opportunity and lead their elites to attack various parts of eastern Youzhou, capture Yongping Prefecture where Shanhaiguan is located, and even continue to peek westward at Jizhou.
"The Kingdom of Jin is planning to carve out a piece of meat in Youzhou. It's really overestimating its capabilities!"
After Wang Jing saw this situation, he couldn't help but smile.
The Jin State was the strongest among the many regimes that started in Liaodong and other places after the Murong clan. Even the Liao State, which had suppressed the Song Dynasty for more than a hundred years, was not as strong as it was.
When the Liao Kingdom was founded, the Central Plains was still in the Five Dynasties period, but even so, every time the Liao Kingdom wanted to go south to the Central Plains, they were beaten to pieces, especially Li Cunxu of the Later Tang Dynasty. The Liao Kingdom suffered heavy casualties, with less than eleven people returning.
When the Jin Kingdom rose, they could charge when they were mounted, and they could charge back and forth a hundred times and still have enough energy. When they dismounted, they were elite infantrymen who were not afraid of death. The soldiers and horses of the Jin Kingdom were indeed rare elites in the world, and they were indeed the best warriors at that time. Invincible in the world, it was not until the appearance of Yue Fei that the myth of the Jin Kingdom's invincibility was broken.
The Guan Ning cavalry and the Eight Banners of Manchu and Mongolia in later generations are not worthy of carrying shoes compared with the real elites of the Jin Kingdom.
However, the elite cavalry of the Jin Kingdom are at most comparable to the elite soldiers of the Central Plains Dynasty at its peak, and the number of real Jurchen elites of the Jin Kingdom is limited. In terms of military strength, they are far inferior to the founding elite soldiers of the Central Plains Dynasty.
In addition, Wanyan Zongbi, Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Yinshuke, these famous generals of the Jin Kingdom, are indeed very capable, and they are not inferior to the first-class generals in history.
But who are their opponents? It's Li Jing, Li Tang's military god, and Li Cunxiao, the invincible general who claims to be no match for Li!
In terms of military strength, there is no advantage, and the capabilities of the generals and commanders of the two sides are even more incomparable. If you dare to compete with Li Tang's army for Youzhou, what else is it but overestimating your own capabilities?
"However, if the Kingdom of Jin forms an alliance with Meng Yuan, they can block Li Tang's army if they join forces!"
There are still some wise men in the Kingdom of Jin, and their scheming skills are quite good. It should be obvious that the Kingdom of Jin is not Li Tang's opponent.
Knowing that they are no match, but still daring to overestimate their capabilities, the most likely reason is that they have a back-up plan.
And Wang Jing's speculation is very likely to be true.
The military strength of the Meng Yuan Dynasty was at the top among many dynasties for thousands of years, especially Temujin. He was not only a king, but also his ability to lead and train troops and command on the battlefield was first-class.
Compared with Han Xin and Bai Qi, he may be a few points behind, but compared with Li Jingyue Fei, he seems to be not inferior in terms of military command and command alone.
At the very least, Temujin's military achievements were almost unparalleled. Based on this alone, he can stand shoulder to shoulder with those peerless generals, but because his identity as a king is too strong, it masks his ability to lead troops.
If Temujin personally led the troops on the expedition, he would be able to compete with Li Jing.
After reading the intelligence from the north, Wang Jing was confident that regardless of whether Meng Yuan would send troops or not, the elite soldiers of the Jin Kingdom alone would allow Li Tang to waste more time in Youzhou.
As for the subsequent digestion of Hebei, we have to wait.
These circumstances are very beneficial to Daxia.
Various external factors caused the Li Tang Dynasty, its biggest opponent, to be held back abruptly. There is no need for the Great Xia Dynasty to take action, and the opponent's chance of winning the final victory is directly reduced by more than half.
"Still continue to pay attention to Xi Mian!"
Only the two countries of Qin and Han are the focus of Wang Jing's attention at this stage.
Late May.
Another war broke out in Hanzhong, and the Qin army lost again. With the help of many famous generals from the original Eastern Han Dynasty, the top power of Shu Han had suppressed the Qin army.
In the world of China, the top experts are the strategic resources of traditional Chinese medicine. Sometimes one general is equivalent to one hundred thousand troops.
[An app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, used by all old bookworms.
There were a lot of losses before, but after Cen Peng and others arrived, the losses in military strength were replenished, and in turn they gained an advantage over the Qin army.
That is to say, Zhuge Liang used his troops relatively calmly and did not rush to attack. Otherwise, the Qin army would retreat faster.
After losing the battle, Wang Jian retreated continuously, abandoning the city at Taniguchi and was forced to retreat to the military fortress in Baoxie Road. Relying on terrain resistance, they spit out all the territory they captured from the south.
When Wang Jing heard the news, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional. If Wang Jian had been replaced by Huo Qubing, Hanzhong would have been captured long ago.
In order to make the Shu Han reinforcements in Xiangyang retreat, Wang Jing sent the Qin army more than a thousand flying boats.
If Wang Jian were more decisive, faster and faster, relying on the flying boat to rush forward, he would definitely be able to drive the Shu army out of Hanzhong when the Shu Han troops were unprepared.
But Wang Jian used his troops calmly and had been steady all his life. What he was best at was advancing step by step. It was difficult to change his style.
He will never be able to learn Huo Qubing's swift and powerful momentum, which is as fast as the wind and as fast as lightning.
After just a few days of calmness, Shu Han reinforcements and many famous generals from the original Eastern Han Dynasty arrived...
Not to mention replacing Wang Jian with Huo Qubing and swapping Bai Qi with Wang Jian, Qin could also seize this opportunity to isolate the connection between the Western Han Dynasty and the Shu Han Dynasty. Seize the opportunity to capture Hanzhong and Guanzhong.
It's a pity that God will take the blame if he doesn't take action, and Qin will never have such an opportunity again.
June.
The Shu Han and Qin armies were constantly fighting each other along the many military forts along the Baoxie Road. The three mighty generals Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Huang Zhong personally acted as the first to attack and captured every military fort along the Baoxie Road.
In Guanzhong, Bai Qi and Wei Qing fought another battle. This time, the Han army had more powerful generals such as Xu Chudian, Wei Machao and others to help out. Wei Qing changed his defense-oriented style and used a few powerful generals as the vanguard. The soldiers and horses on the periphery of the Qin army attacked.
After Bai Qi lost several troops in a row, he scaled back his defenses and followed Wei Qing's example, which was to focus on defense to defend the danger.
The situation on both sides has reversed.
The side that mastered the offensive and took the lead became the Han army under Wei Qing.
In June, Huo Qubing, the hussar general of the Western Han Dynasty, suddenly went south with 100,000 elite cavalry, defeating seven Qin armies one after another, defeating the generals of the Qin army, and approaching Yongshou, which caused a stir in Qishan and Fufeng, the base of the Qin army in Guanzhong. Great threat.
The Qin State quickly appointed Sima Cuo as its general and led its troops to meet the enemy.
Sima Cuo was one of the most famous generals in the Qin State. He once assisted King Zuo Huiwen to capture Bashu and defeated the Chu State, allowing Qin to dominate the east with the land of Bashu in Guanzhong.
In the subsequent battles between princes for hegemony, the combination of Bashu and Bashu in Guanzhong was also regarded by most people as the foundation for unifying the world.
Most of the princes who occupied the two places won the battle for hegemony.
Sima Cuo's strategic vision is evident.
It's a pity that no matter how outstanding your strategic vision is, you still have to rely on immediate command on the battlefield. At this point, Sima Cuo's commanding ability was not as good as Huo Qubing's miraculous moves.
In mid-June, Huo Qubing divided his troops and headed southeast, intending to attack Bai Qi with Wei Qing, forcing Sima Cuo to also divide his troops to intercept.
In the process of Sima Cuo's deployment of troops and generals, Huo Qubing keenly grasped the small gaps in the Qin army's mobilization, and it was as fast as lightning, as if it was rushing forward in an instant...
Sima Cuo is a top general, and the Qin army is also an elite warrior. The gap caused by mobilizing troops and horses is very small.
It would have been very difficult for other generals to detect it, let alone take advantage of the situation to attack.
But it is clear that Huo Qubing is no ordinary general.
His sense of smell on the battlefield has reached a level that is divine and clear. He does not need to line up his troops, nor does he need to think back and forth. As long as he comes to the battlefield, he will naturally feel the enemy's weaknesses.
This kind of battlefield sense has exceeded the limit of a general.
When the cavalry commanded by Huo Qubing rushed in, Sima Cuo only had time to mobilize his own troops and horses to defend.
In less than an hour, the Qin army's formation was penetrated.
Two to three hundred thousand elite Qin troops were routed, and the famous general Sima
Cuo was seriously injured by Huo Qubing, and was immediately surrounded by a large formation of Han troops, and finally died on the battlefield.
The Qin army was defeated, not only Guanzhong was shocked, but even Wang Jing who was far away in Jinling was shocked.
Huo Qubing, who has never fully demonstrated his strength after coming to the world of China for so many years, made everyone in China realize his prestige.
After the great victory, Huo Qubing attacked Fufeng again, and the Qin army general Meng Ao led his troops to defend.
In late June, the Han army captured the cities around Fufeng, cutting off the connection between Bai Qi's army in the east and Qin's rear, and cutting off Bai Qi's food routes.
Bai Qi's army has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and consumes a lot of food and grass every day.
The army's food and fodder can last for a month, but it will never last for two or three months.
As long as the grain road cannot return to normal and there is no need for the Han army to attack, Bai Qi's army will be defeated in three months...
Bai Qi is known as the God of Killing, or the God of War, but he is not a real god. As long as he is a human, he cannot defy heaven and let hundreds of thousands of Qin army elites fight against powerful enemies without eating or drinking.
"The one who ran out of food this time became Bai Qi..."
After getting the information, Wang Jing placed the map of Kun in Guanzhong in front of his eyes and traced it with his fingers. He led himself into Bai Qi. No matter how he thought about it, he could not figure out how to reverse the situation between the Qin and Han armies. Method.
Now it is obvious that the Han Dynasty has formed a pincer offensive with double walls, and has also cut off Bai Qi's food channel.
Unless Meng Ao of the Qin army can lead his troops to defeat Huo Qubing and open up a passage to the Bai Qi army's camp in the east, Bai Qi's army will be attacked from both sides and will be cut off from food and grass, and will have no chance of winning.
Bai Qi's current situation is similar to that of Zhao Kuo during the Battle of Changping.
They were all surrounded and their food routes were cut off...
In this situation, neither Bai Qi nor Zhao Kuo had many choices.
"The war is coming!"
"Before the food and grass are exhausted, Bai Qi will definitely lead an army to fight the Han army in a decisive battle!"
Wang Jing made an inference.
Many civil and military officials in the Daxia Dynasty had similar opinions to Wang Jing's. They all believed that Bai Qi's best solution at the moment was to fight the Han army immediately. The longer the delay, the lower the chance of victory.
Before the news of the decisive battle in Guanzhong came.
On July 1, Wang Jing secretly summoned many heavenly generals and important civil and military officials from the central government to hold a small court meeting.
There was only one purpose, and that was to prepare for dispatching troops while Bai Qi and Wang Jian were attracting the main force of the Han army.
The Daxia Dynasty had only one goal, and that was the land of Bashu of the Shu Han Dynasty.
With the flying boats dropping troops and horses, most of Bashu's strategic location will be lost. It doesn't matter even if the Shu Han has a formation to detect flying boats. This time Daxia sends troops and no longer regards flying boats as a weapon for surprise attacks.
Instead, the flying boat is purely used as a tool to transport troops and horses. It doesn't matter if it is discovered by the Shu Han, just attack the city step by step.
The main force of Shu Han was dragged into Hanzhong.
It is estimated that the number of soldiers, horses and generals left behind in Shu is only about one-third.
There is no reason for Daxia to be invincible with its elite army.
The only thing that needs to be guarded against is that other dynasties will join forces and form an alliance when they hear the news that Daxia is sending troops.
Fortunately, the Qin and Han sides were in a decisive battle.
Even if he heard the news that the Xia army was attacking Shuzhong, he would never stop fighting.
Umrah meeting.
Wang Jing preliminarily selected the candidates for the generals to attack Shuzhong, discussed with the ministers, and made a rough strategic plan... The detailed route of sending troops has not yet been determined.
The specific route needs to be changed based on the situation before sending troops.
In addition, there are preparations for food and grass equipment, various magical weapons and equipment for attacking and defending the city...
Wang Jing is still one step away from winning the final victory.
This step requires him to capture and digest a new territory before he can take it out. For Daxia, it is not difficult to capture Shuzhong, but after capturing Shuzhong, Daxia will inevitably be attacked by other dynasties.
Only by surviving this last round of siege can the Great Xia Dynasty safely digest
Shuzhong. By the way, let Wang Jing take the last step and pick the fruit.
Therefore, the Daxia Dynasty not only had to lay out strategies and tactics to attack Shuzhong, but also made plans for the subsequent joint efforts of the Han and Tang armies.
For example, in the Qingqi area of the Central Plains, a defense line must be set up in advance to avoid being invaded by the enemy and preventing Wang Jing from completing his achievements.
As the Daxia Dynasty continued to prepare.
A large amount of grain, grass and equipment were carried by flying boats to Jiangling. If they were to attack Shuzhong, Jiangling would be the best place to stock up on grain, grass, soldiers, horses, and equipment in the early stage.
In order to avoid attracting the attention of Shu Han, all kinds of food, grass and equipment were hoarded on the big island in Dongting Lake.
Time keeps passing.
In a blink of an eye, August is here.
Summer is hot.
At this moment, the decisive battle between the Qin and Han armies in Guanzhong began. Bai Qi led his army out of the camp to confront Wei Qing. At the same time, Meng Ao led his army out of the city to contain Huo Qubing's troops, lest the other party and Wei Qing really attack Bai Qi from both sides.
In the entire Guanzhong battlefield, Meng Ao's headquarters was located in Fufeng, the westernmost side, and Huo Qubing's headquarters was in the northeast.
Further east, there is Bai Qi's army in Wugong Xingping, and to the east is Wei Qing's army with Chang'an on its back.
Four groups of soldiers and horses almost connected the city in a line from west to east.
However, Huo Qubing was stationed in the north and took the initiative.
The main force of the Qin army led by Bai Qi was filled with the momentum of a brave man meeting in a narrow road, and the attacks continued. Even though Wei Qing had several powerful generals to help, he was suppressed for a while.
The two sides fought for more than twenty days, and the battlefield was littered with corpses and rivers of blood.
In late August, when the battle between Bai Qi and Wei Qing continued, Huo Qubing once again led his troops to attack. They made a half circle and did not attack Bai Qi. Instead, they took advantage of Meng Ao's main force leaving the city and captured Fufeng at lightning speed.
Huo Qubing's troops now became the westernmost troops, trapping Meng Ao into the Han army's encirclement...
