General Qin

Yellow outside.

Zhao Tuo was very surprised when the Hanoi soldiers from the north fled to the city of Waihuang, throwing away their helmets and armor.

The invincible Qin army was defeated!

And it was not a small defeat. According to the fleeing soldiers, their Hanoi general was beheaded by the Wei people, and thousands of soldiers under his command were killed or injured. It can be described as a thousand miles.

They fled all the way from the city of Jiyang to Hutan Township in Yangwu County.

Some of them fled straight to Yangwu County in the west, while others followed the road going south from Hutan Township to Waihuang.

When Zhao Tuo and Zhao Ben tried their best to gather those Hanoi routs, they counted them and found that there were as many as 700 people, which was more than half of their army of 1,000 people.

"Wei Bao?"

When Zhao Tuo heard the name of Wei Jun's coach, he couldn't help raising his brows, his face showing surprise.

He really didn't expect that the person who led the Wei army to win the battle of Jiyang was Wei Bao. After all, what this person did in Chenliu before made people feel very contemptuous.

Even Zhang Er, guarding a small county town, knows how to resist the Qin army's wave before running away.

Wei Bao is a majestic son of the state of Wei, with thousands of soldiers under him, and Chen Liu's high walls and thick walls. Facing the attack of the Qin army, he fled without fighting. Such behaviors are simply sorry for the blood flowing in his body.

But now that he heard about the Battle of Jiyang, Zhao Tuo put aside his contempt for Wei Bao.

He thought that this guy was also one of the princes who rose up in the late Qin Dynasty after all, and he felt relieved a lot. Wei Bao still has two brushes to be able to be a king of Wei in the troubled times.

Of course, the reason why Zhao Tuo remembered Wei Bao was not because Wei Bao was very capable.

It was because he once possessed a woman who was "able to give birth to the Son of Heaven".

In the end, that woman really did as the prophecy said, and the child she gave birth to really became the master of the world and the emperor.

This kind of gossip news has always been Zhao Tuo's favorite, and he left a lot of impressions on Wei Bao.

"Wei Bao is going to lead an army to attack me in Waihuang. Do you think I should go to Zuo Shuzhang for help?"

Yang Xiong sat in the main seat, looking uneasy, and asked the two five hundred masters under his command for advice.

Because those Hanoi soldiers who were defeated brought a message to Wai Huangcheng. It was Wei Bao who was about to lead his army southward, intending to recover Waihuang County, and use this as a base to attack Chenliu again.

Under such circumstances, Yang Xiong couldn't help but panic.

The number of Wei Bao's men is much larger than that of the Qin army in the outer Huangcheng.

Not only the comparison of military strength, but when the Wei army aggressively suppressed the territory, many Wei people would definitely raise their flags in response to the Waihuang City that had just been captured. Under this kind of internal and external attack, it was difficult for the Qin army to hold on.

Zhao Ben frowned and said, "I don't think Wei Jun will go south to attack Waihuang."

Yang Xiong asked: "Why?"

"Wei Bao had the upper hand in the defense of the city back then, with the assistance of the common people of Chenliu and the millet reserves of tens of thousands of shi, and he left without a fight against our army. Now that we have captured the nearby cities, he On the contrary, it is unreasonable to attack Waihuang and Chenliu, and I think there may be fraud in it." Zhao Ben said in a deep voice.

Yang Xiong looked at Zhao Tuo again.

Zhao Tuo nodded and said: "I also think the same way. Now that the southern counties of Wei State are basically captured by our army, it is meaningless for Wei Bao to take down Chen Liu. Instead, the Wei army under his command will go deep alone and be surrounded by our army. Destruction is a matter of time."

"Attacking Chen Liu is a way to kill. Judging from Wei Bao's performance in abandoning the city, he would not do such a thing."

"Moreover, after the victory of the Wei army in the battle of Jiyang, the best choice should be to support Taoqiu in the east, defeat our Qin Dongjun soldiers, lift the siege of Taoqiu, and join forces with the Wei army in the city."

"But the Wei army didn't. Instead, they chose to go west, ignoring Taoqiu who was being besieged. The reason why the general of the Wei army could make such a choice is probably because there are more important things in the west."

"Looking at it this way, going south to attack Waihuang is more like a cover-up method spread by the Wei army, so as to scare our soldiers in Waihuang and Chenliu, so that they can go west without any worries."

Hearing Zhao Tuo's words, Zhao Ben's eyes were filled with admiration.

Yang Xiong nodded half understanding.

Suddenly, he slapped his thigh and shouted: "I see, Wei Jun must want to go west to Xingyang to block up the big river that broke its embankment, or dig a gap to divert the river water away. The threat of flooding the girders."

...

"We don't attack Yangwu County, but take Xingyang from the west!"

"The main force of the Qin army is encircling Daliang City, and the rest of the divisions are also attacking the land of our country Wei. Qin's interior is empty, and there are not many soldiers. Our army should march at a rapid pace. When the Qin army in Daliang has not reacted , Take Xingyang directly!"

"Xingyang is the place where the Qin army stored grain. The grain and grass hoarded in the city supplied the tens of thousands of soldiers of the Qin army who besieged Daliang, and more than 100,000 slaves and prisoners."

"As long as we can quickly capture Xingyang and burn all the food and grass inside. In this way, the Qin army of more than 100,000 people will have no food to eat."

"The siege of Daliang will be destroyed without attacking. Our country, Wei, will never perish in this battle!"

"My lord, you will also become the greatest hero of the Wei Kingdom!"

Zhou Shi was riding on his horse, pointing his finger in the direction of Xingyang to the west, full of vigor.

Wei Bao on the chariot beside him was also in high spirits.

If things turned out as Zhou Shi said, they went deep into the interior of Qin alone, broke through Xingyang, burned the Qin army's supplies, food and grass, and forced Qin's army to attack Wei, then they would really turn the tide and save the country of Wei.

He, Wei Bao, will become Lord Xinling's second, no, he may even surpass Lord Xinling's position and become the most glorious hero of the Wei Kingdom!

Thinking of this, Wei Bao, who was less than thirty years old, was already trembling with excitement.

Now, he has completely forgiven Zhou Shi.

After Chen Liu burned grain and abandoned the city, Wei Bao took advantage of the terrain to throw off the trailing Qin army. He was going to lead his soldiers back to the east of Wei State to survive.

Unexpectedly, halfway through the journey, most of the soldiers of the Wei army refused.

Most of these Wei soldiers are from Daliang, Yangwu, Huangchi and other places. Now their hometown is being captured by the Qin army, and their wives and children do not know whether they are alive or dead.

In this way, a mutiny occurred. Under the leadership of Zhou Shi, a Wei general who was born in Huangchi, the Wei soldiers held spears and halberds to persuade Wei Bao.

Wei Bao was also very happy, and accepted the advice of his soldiers on the spot.

Wei Jun gave up the idea of ​​retreating eastward, led his army northward under the leadership of Zhou Shi, and attacked the Qin army under the city of Jiyang.

Then he attacked Humen in the west and opened up the road to Xingyang.

Now, it is even more important to do a major event to turn the tide and save the country of Wei!

In the westbound Wei army, in addition to 3,000 armored soldiers, there were more than a thousand tribesmen, boy servants, and villagers mobilized by the Zhang family in Huyu Township.

Among them, a young man with a face like a crown of jade was sitting on a cart, looking at the direction of Wei Jun's advance, thoughtful.

"That Wei general named Zhou Shi is quite capable. He knows how to spread the news of attacking Waihuang and paralyze the Qin army there. As long as the Qin army believes this, they will definitely stand still and wait for the Wei army to go south."

"In this way, the Wei army will have no worries. Even the main force of the Qin army at Daliang will be paralyzed by this news. They will focus on Waihuang and relax their vigilance towards the north and west."

"If Xingyang is lost and the food and grass are burned, the Qin army may not be able to survive the day when Daliang City is broken."

Regarding Yang Xiong, although Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty mentioned Yang Xiong and Zhang Han together, his record is very mysterious. Basically the kind of battle that must be defeated, even Hu Hai couldn't stand it and beheaded him.

Therefore, the setting of Yang Xiong in this book is a little more simple, to increase the differentiation between the generals, so that every Qin general will not have the same personality.

"Historical Records: The Benji of Gaozu": (Liu Bang) West and Qin general Yang Xiong fought on the white horse, and then fought Qu Yudong, breaking it. Yang Xiong went to Xingyang, and the second emperor sent the envoy to cut him off.

"Historical Records: The Family of Liuhou": Peigong went out from Luoyang to the south, Liang led his troops from Peigong, went to more than ten cities in Han, and defeated Yang Xiong's army.

"Historical Records Cao Xiangguo Family": (Cao Shen) attacked Yang Xiong's army in Quyu from the west, broke it, and captured Qin Sima and Yushi each.
