Infinite War Begins with Cao Thief

As the main force of the Qin army was assembled, the battle against Wei also entered the third stage.

The main force of the third wave of the Qin army's attack on Wei was led by Li Chong, the governor of Longxi County, and his son Li Yao was his deputy general. In addition, a large number of mid-level and senior generals with great military exploits participated in the battle. The Gongshu clan and Qin Mo also came out in full force, as did Luo Wang, Shadow Secret Guard and other organizations.

This time, Qin vowed to bite off a piece of flesh from Wei.

This time the Qin Army's coaches, Li Chong and Li Yao, were not famous in history, but Li Chong himself was the governor of Longxi County in the border area, and Li Yao was the governor of Nan County in history, and Li Yao also had One son was named Li Xin.

Li Xin was famous in history as a background foil for Wang Jian and Xiang Yan. In the first battle of the First Emperor against Chu, Li Xin believed that he could destroy Chu with 200,000 men. However, Xiang Yan first lured the enemy deep into the army. Later, Lord Changping stabbed Chen Du in the back and was defeated miserably. In the end, it was Wang Jian who led 600,000 people to destroy Chu and clean up the mess.

However, even if he becomes a background, there is no doubt about Li Xin's ability. To be trusted by Qin Shihuang and to become a general commanding an army of 200,000 in the Qin State with so many generals, at least Li Xin's military exploits are sufficient. His ability is enough to convince a large number of generals.

At least Li Xin cannot be entirely blamed for the final failure.

In addition, Li Xin also has a descendant named Li Guang.

The Qin State implemented a military merit system, and the Li family's ability to be high-ranking officials for at least three generations undoubtedly illustrates the Li family's strength.

This is a family of generals, and it is a family of generals with outstanding military exploits from generation to generation.

In fact, the Li family also inherited the art of war and military formations, but the Li family's military formations have been integrated into the Great Qin's military formations and can be perfectly integrated with the Great Qin's military formations.

Li Chong and his son learned from the disastrous defeat of Lu Gong and fought steadily all the way. Although the marching speed was a bit slow, they did not allow the coalition forces to find any opportunities to take advantage of them.

Facing the menacing Qin army, not only did the coalition fail to recapture Juan, but they were unable to defend Ancheng and Jujube.

Because Meng Ao, who crossed the river and went north, came back again.

Meng Ao did not take the old route of Baimajin this time, but took the risk of landing at Suxukou, bypassing the coalition forces near Baimajin, and inserted himself behind the jujube.

The coalition forces were once again in danger of being surrounded by Anseong and Jujube.

[The use of naval mobile defense and strategic attack is obviously understood by Meng Ao! 】

Guo Jia sighed.

The Qin army, or Meng Ao, learned very quickly and had already used the tactics of the Yu army in actual combat. The Yu army controlled the Dajiang and Huai Rivers and maneuvered all the way. Qin suffered a lot; obviously, the Qin army wanted to control the river, learn Yu's tactics, and completely crush the road defenses of the countries along the river.

Facing the strategic oppression of the Qin army, the coalition forces who did not want to be dumped could only retreat and had no choice but to evacuate Suanzao City, which had been destroyed by Meng Ao once before. However, the coalition forces of Ancheng and Baimajin were in danger.

In the end, Meng Ao occupied Ancheng and sent partial divisions to defeat the Baimajin Allied Forces in a flanking attack. A total of more than 50,000 people were killed in the two places.

Obviously, all the coalition forces who failed to escape in these two places were killed.

The Qin army records merit by decapitating their heads. Only when the total number of soldiers killed in a battle is greater than the number of deaths on several sides can the merit be counted. Therefore, the Qin army has a special liking for beheadings. As for the generals, they have to look at the surplus of heads from the entire battle to calculate their merits. It is meaningless to ask. So far, Meng Ao has still lost in the number of beheadings.

For the sake of military merit and revenge for the previous blood feud, the Qin people naturally wanted to retaliate severely.

Fortunately, the troops in these two places are dominated by the Wei army. So far, the losses of Huang Zhong and Guo Jia's troops have not been severe. But the problem is that now the troops of the two troops, even if they are added The Wei army with Captain Da could no longer be a match for the Qin army.

When the strategies are not much different, the number of good soldiers, the level of logistics support, and the wisdom and ignorance of the king will become the most important factors in determining the outcome of the war.

"Retreat to Yangwu and Huangchi and set up defenses along the Jishui River to protect Daliang. Please also ask the state captain to write to the King of Wei and mobilize the whole country. As long as the line of Jishui is defended, the Qin army will retreat.

The Qin State has been fighting for years, and has lost many troops and generals in many battles. There are still a large number of troops stationed on various borders, as well as in Yancheng and Bashu. I am afraid that the domestic sources of mobile troops have been exhausted. It is impossible for the army to confront us here for a long time.

Of course, Wei will have to continue to ask for help from Dayu, South Korea, Qi, and Zhao. If Dayu and South Korea attack Yancheng one by one and march to Wanye by the other, the Qin army will have to retreat; perhaps they can also take the city in the northeast of Wei Cessed to Qi State in exchange for Qi State's admission, Zhao State's side..."

Guo Jia soon had a detailed strategic plan, but before he finished speaking, he laughed: "Can King Wei listen?"

The King of Wei is not Dong Huang. Dong Huang always does things like "you are right", "you can arrange it" and "mobilize the army at will". He is the kind of king who can hand over the entire country's troops without raising any suspicion. But the King of Wei does not With such courage, he does not have this level of trust in his subordinates.

If the King of Wei was really courageous and made good use of Wei Wuji and all his talents, Wei would not be in the situation it is today. You know, the Wei State at its peak wanted to completely destroy the Qin State.

"If Wei Yong can be persuaded and Wei Yong explains his interests, King Wei should be willing to continue the fight and ask for help from other countries. As for giving those cities to Qi..."

Wei Liao shook his head.

"That's all it can be!"

Guo Jia was also helpless.

No matter how good the strategy is, it must be used by someone. If others don't use it, what can you do? Is it possible to let Dayu shed his last drop of blood for Wei?

Therefore, under the fierce offensive of the Qin army, the coalition forces who had other ideas were quickly driven to the south of Jishui. The only remaining Yangwu city north of Jishui was still struggling to support itself.

Yangwu City is a large city and fairly strong. There is also a place in Yangwu County that is very famous in later generations - Bolangsha. Bolangsha is the place where Zhang Liang assassinated Qin Shihuang in history.

When the war reached this point, the land north of Jishui in Wei State was basically captured by Qin State.

Strategically, the Qin State has gained an overall advantage. Even if the coalition forces hold the Yangwu-Jishui-Huangchi line, the Qin army can still make a detour in Pingqiu further east, outflank the coalition forces' rear route and even threaten Daliang.

Therefore, the defense became a bit difficult. Both Guo Jia and Huang Zhong wanted to ask Dayu for help, and they were also thinking of ways to drag Qi into trouble.

It is impossible to shed all the blood for the Wei State in a while, but the Wei State cannot collapse yet.

The main reason is that if the Wei State collapses now, the Yu State does not have the ability to swallow up the Wei State.

However, Guo Jia and others still wanted to persist, but King Wei could no longer hold on.

King Wei regretted not re-employing Lord Xinling and was afraid that the coalition would be defeated again, so he had long wanted to seek peace. Although Wei Yong had been persuaded many times by Yu and Han, he was also afraid that the situation would get out of hand, so he also Became a capitulator.

The ministers are about to fight to the death, why does Your Majesty surrender first?

Weida and Wei Liao, father and son, looked at each other.

Fortunately, they were ready to start anew, otherwise, King Wei would be really angry to death.

The King of Wei took the initiative to send an envoy to sue for peace from Qin, which meant that the war against Wei had come to an end. But because they don't trust each other, they haven't completely withdrawn their troops yet.

However, Guo Jia and others knew very well that Meng Ao, who had annexed about one-sixth of Wei's territory in one fell swoop, should be satisfied. After all, there is still a Lianpo in the north!

Now, Guo Jia and others have actually seen Zhao Guo's plan clearly.

With Lian Po's ability, how could it be possible that Zhao had not achieved decent results for so long?

The only possibility is that Zhao Guo did it on purpose.

The State of Zhao was not willing to fight with the State of Qin for the State of Wei, so it just worked but did not contribute any effort.

It is actually understandable that Zhao State did this. Firstly, Zhao State had just finished the battle against Yan, and its soldiers were very tired. It is understandable that they were unwilling to continue fighting. Secondly, there was a gap between Zhao State and Wei State.

The biggest gap between Zhao and Wei comes from Lord Xinling.

Because Lord Xinling stole the talisman to save Zhao, everyone in Zhao State was very grateful to Lord Xinling and helped him when he returned to save Wei. Since Zhao State had generals such as Lian Po, Pang Nuan, Le Cheng, etc. , everyone in the Zhao Kingdom was very happy to let Lord Xinling be the commander-in-chief of the five countries, which shows the prestige of Lord Xinling.

However, Lord Xinling died inexplicably.

The people of Wei said that it was the Qin State that did it, but the Qin State spread the news that the King of Wei was jealous of the virtuous and capable. He first ignored Lord Xinling and then deliberately assassinated Lord Xinling to put the blame on Qin. Don’t you see that Jin Bi’s retainer, who had a bloody feud with Lord Xinling, is now in power under one person in the Wei state?

The father-in-law said that the mother-in-law was right, but everyone in the Zhao State unanimously believed that even if it was the Qin State that took action, the King of Wei definitely played a disgraceful role.

Under such circumstances, how could Zhao still be willing to take chestnuts from the fire for Wei.

In fact, Zhao Guo wanted to have a fierce fight with the coalition forces of Qin State, Wei State and other countries! The State of Zhao just took advantage of the opportunity when the Qin army had no remaining strength to make another wave of gains.

Without Yu, Qin, Han, Wei, Qi, Yan and other countries noticing, Zhao had once again acted quietly.

The State of Zhao took the border army general Li Mu as its general and launched another surprise attack on the State of Yan.

At this time, the Yan State had just breathed a sigh of relief because Lian Po led his army to the south. It was about to send troops to the east. It did not expect that the Zhao State was so ungrateful to martial ethics. The Xiongnu ignored it and directly mobilized the border guards for a surprise attack. .

The demoralized Yan army was defeated again, and the entire Youbeiping was captured by the Zhao army. Li Mu fought all the way to Jieshi Mountain, blocking the Liaoxi Corridor, and the only desolate land of Liaodong was left in the Yan Kingdom.

Then Li Mu went directly north, out of the Great Wall of Yan, and made a big detour on the grassland. He went around the flank of the Xiongnu and defeated the unsuspecting Xiongnu. He beheaded more than 300,000 people - and this only counted the strong men of the eighth level and above. The number of heads of warriors and the number of Xiongnu old, weak, women and children were even more killed and injured.

When the King of Wei basically negotiated an armistice agreement that was humiliating and humiliating the country, Li Mu also just won an epic victory that established his status as a famous general. After constructing the Jingguan and carving stones to record his merits, Li Mu returned to Zhao in a mighty manner with hundreds of thousands of prisoners, thousands of carts of loot, and millions of cattle, horses, and sheep.

After this great victory, there will be no more threats from the Huns and other nomads in the north of Zhao for at least fifteen years!

In the Zhao State today, the northern border guards can be freed, and there will no longer be the threat of the Yan State in the northeast. As long as the Qi State does not commit chaos, the only enemy of the Zhao State is the Qin State!

Zhao State, which has famous generals such as Lian Po, Li Mu, Pang Nuan, Le Cheng, and thousands of war agents, has gradually entered a state of completeness. As long as it is given three to five years to digest the results of the war, Zhao State's military strength will still be It is expected to reach the level of the Changping War.

In fact, there are of course war agents among the Xiongnu and other barbarians, and there are quite a few of them.

There is a hidden benefit to joining the nomadic war agent, that is, the main city can be chosen as the golden tent main city, which is just a bunch of tents. Although the defense is sacrificed, the whole family can move around and live in pursuit of water and grass. Like the agents of war who descended on the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period, if they released the main city, they might have their homes stolen. If they didn't release the main city, they wouldn't be able to recruit troops, and it would be difficult to attract more natural people. There are pros and cons to each.

Among the Xiongnu war agents, there were one or two people who knew Li Mu, and they constantly persuaded the leaders, large and small, to be careful of Li Mu's show of weakness. With the persuasion of them and other war agents, the Huns strengthened their attack on Zhao Changcheng. The first-line defense was prepared to give Li Mu a ruthless blow, but who would have thought that Li Mu would not follow the routine at all.

Li Mu took a small 200,000 chariots and cavalry to play Huo Qubing's tactics, which made the Xiongnu feel embarrassed. The famous "Plough Gu Tu Shanyu" died before he showed his head, and the Xiongnu royal family "Luan Ting" Almost wiped out, the main force of the Xiongnu royal court was wiped out in one battle.

Countless war agents on the Xiongnu side were beaten until they cried for their fathers and mothers.

Of course, there were also a few war agents on the Xiongnu side who saw the opportunity.

Among these people was an old acquaintance of Dong Huang—Liu He!

Liu He had been fighting in the northern grasslands during the Three Kingdoms world, and finally suddenly went south and killed Cao Cao's war agent.

After being defeated by Dong Huang, Liu He fled to the prairie in advance to continue his development.

After that world ended, Liu He's rating reached second place, second only to Dong Huang!

"God help me!"

Liu He, who had escaped, realized that the opportunity had come to receive the Huns' inheritance.

——

Since the Qin State has decided to bite the bullet and open up the situation in the Three Jin Dynasties, especially the Wei State, naturally it can no longer support Bashu on a large scale.

After all, Qin's grain and grass were not very abundant. Because of the destruction of the cavalry of Huang Zhong and Xiahou Yuan, Qin's Guandong area lost one season of grain. Previously, Qin's duel with Dayu in Yingdu led to consumption of grain. There was a large amount of food and grass, and the Bashu area was also receiving blood transfusions. As a result, Qin's food and grass were not very sufficient.

Even if the Qin State can grit its teeth and recruit troops, there will be no food available.

Therefore, when the war between Wei and Wei was in full swing, the Qin army in Bashu, which received no support, generally went on the defensive.

After Wang Jian, who had a keen sense of smell, suffered a small loss from Xiang Yan, he immediately reduced his troops and focused mainly on building cities and repairing roads.

He squeezed the captured Ba slaves, repaired the Daxing Road, and used 30,000 elites and 20,000 auxiliary soldiers who dared to fight, focusing on all possible troops coming over the mountains on the Daxing Road. Camps and beacon towers were set up at key nodes, peaks, passes, valleys, etc. for warning and defense.

There are at least a dozen people at these defense points, and as many as hundreds or even thousands of people. At each place, food that can be eaten by the defenders for more than half a year is stocked, and sufficient defense preparations are made.

Especially those camps with hundreds of people and more than a thousand people, although they are not as majestic and cuiwei as the Jiange, one man can guard the pass, and ten thousand men cannot open it, but they are not easy to capture.

Especially when it is difficult to use siege equipment in mountainous areas and troops cannot be effectively deployed, trying to capture a purely military fortress in such a dangerous terrain is no different from seeking death.

The best way to capture these places is to besiege them rather than attack them by force.

In the final analysis, the method used by Wang Jian was similar to the tactics used by Dayu to besiege Mengwu from Wujun to Bacheng. It was to constantly set up camps and divide the battlefield.

As a result, even if Wang Ping's troops want to cross the mountains to sneak attack the Qin army's grain road on the Daxing Road, or even cut off the Daxing Road, it will become extremely difficult, and they may even be surrounded by the Qin army.

Of course, Wang Jian's actions were not without cost.

Because a large number of troops were deployed on the main road, the number of available troops in Wang Jian's hands dropped sharply, and the Qin army's logistical pressure increased sharply.

At this time, Wang Jian was in Bazhong-Dangqu. He only had about 50,000 troops available on the front line. In addition, there were 30,000 auxiliary troops and 20,000 Ba servants who were captured and used as slaves. These troops wanted to achieve greater results. It's nothing more than a fool's dream.

In fact, Wang Jian has not taken the initiative to attack for a long time, but has asked those war agents to lead small groups of troops to guard and harass.

In terms of logistics and food supplies, those camps among the mountains and valleys do not even have space for farming. They are just wasting away. This is fine for a short time. If it lasts for a long time, not only will the defenders collapse, but the difficult logistics will be enough to make any A country abandons this low-productivity behavior.

To put it bluntly, this is just an emergency measure, a last resort to deal with the missing Wang Ping troops and Yu Jun's troops who are good at mountain warfare.

But no matter what, Wang Jian's retreat was saved.

And because Wang Jian killed four or five Ba kings in succession and seized their food and fodder, if he did not go out on an expedition and just secured the front line in Bazhong, Wang Jian's army would be able to hold on to their food and fodder for a long time.

Faced with the shrinking of Wang Jian's troops, Xi Zhicai had no plans, but in the end he had no choice but to do anything.

If he sent fewer troops, he could not defeat him; if he sent more troops, Wang Jian would retreat on his own initiative.

Judging from Wang Jian's arrangement, Wang Jian only left a small number of troops to guard Danqu City and the area to the south. He himself was huddled in Bazhong, as if he had made up his mind not to even defend Danqu.

However, it was impossible for Xi Zhicai to completely ignore Wang Jian's troops and directly fight with Lord Changping. Because with Wang Jian's ability, especially when Wang Jian still holds almost ten thousand of the most elite warriors in his hands, if he is not careful, he may be bitten severely by Wang Jian.

As long as Wang Jian does not come out, then the Yu army will either push the battle line to the Danqu canal, stretch out supplies, deploy heavy troops, and block Wang Jian; The army was very passive.

Wang Jian's army did not take the initiative to attack, and Changping Jun also followed suit. He sat firmly on the Diaoyutai and did not take the initiative to attack.

What Changping Jun did was actually a helpless move. Because of the previous destruction of Dong Huang's army, before the autumn harvest, Changping Jun did not have enough food and grass logistics to launch a large-scale attack. He could only send Bai Jie and Qiangwei's troops as the vanguard. , in Jiangyang County (now Luzhou) at the intersection of the Tuojiang River and the Yangtze River, they prepared troops and horses, organized and trained naval forces, and guarded the entrance to Shu.

At the same time, Lord Changping did not forget to set up various traps in the river and arranged people to guard both sides of the river to prevent the previous tragedy of burning food from happening again. Now, Lord Changping has basically been able to determine that the murderer who burned the food was from Coming from the water.

However, it is not that easy for Lord Changping to defend, because after three or four years of fighting and training, the Sharks who have been transformed by the corpse king's legacy and mutants have basically arrived now. At the level of Myth Level 1, fighting in the water can fully display the Myth Level 1 combat effectiveness. Once ashore, at least he will be a heavy warrior with the strength and defense of Myth Level 1.

The sharks are bent on carrying out sneak attacks in the long river basin, and Changping-kun has no way to defend themselves.

That is to say, there are too few people in this army and the map of this world is too big, otherwise Changping Jun would have been destroyed long ago.

The Bashu Qin army did not take the initiative to launch an attack, so Xi Zhicai was naturally not in a hurry.

Xi Zhicai's main focus is on the pick-up and subsequent layout.

In fact, for the Dayu generals in Bashu, there was nothing more important than welcoming the great emperor.

The victory or defeat of the war is only temporary, and the happiness of His Majesty the Emperor is the most important.

Xi Zhicai brought Bashang and others from Bacheng's local gangsters to find a site for Dong Huang to build a palace.

After a series of inspections, Xi Zhicai finally selected Nanshan, which has "high peaks and mountains, lined up along the river, dense forests, and lush greenery" to build Dong Huang's palace. The main palace was built among the mist-shrouded peaks of Nanshan. on top of Huangshan Mountain.

This Huangshan Mountain is not that Huangshan Mountain, so Xi Zhicai specifically changed its name to "Huangshan Mountain". And because the mountain is shrouded in mist and has excellent scenery, Xi Zhicai planned to name the palace "Yunxiu Palace". Of course, The name is just Xi Zhicai's preliminary idea. What name it will be called will have to wait for His Majesty the Great Emperor to give it a name.

Due to the tight schedule and heavy tasks of building the palace, in order to ensure that Dong Huang would have somewhere to go when he arrived, Bashang, the richest businessman in Ba County, even demolished his own home and moved the finished building materials to Huangshan to provide Dong Huang with a place to go. Jianxing palace.

The main purpose is to rescue people from ruined families and ensure His Majesty the Emperor's satisfaction.

After all, Bachchan also wants to improve.

When he learned that Dong Huang had not given birth to his daughter, Bashang felt very uneasy. Bashang could not understand why this was the case.

Obviously all his daughters are beautiful, especially the second daughter, who is called a queen.

[Is it possible that their wife attributes are not concentrated enough? 】

Bashang, who had vaguely heard about Dong Huang's good wife, couldn't help but think of it.

What Bashang didn't know was that he had really wronged Dong Huang.

Even the name "Widow Qing" was enough to arouse Dong Huang's interest, let alone three sisters.

However, when the widow Qing went to Haojing, Dong Huang happened to be away, and then the three sisters were intercepted by Zhang Yu, Dong Huang's mother-in-law who was in charge of business.

Zhang Yu is the mother of the five Zhen Ji sisters and a business genius.

Among the five Zhen Ji sisters, Dong Huang has not been willing to eat because of Zhen Ji's talent. Now after practicing the Yin Yang family's water movement technique, his strength has really improved by leaps and bounds. Now there is only one day left.

Zhang Yu liked Widow Qing's ability very much, and Gao Cheng Yuriko was also taken a look at by Zhang Yugao.

Yuriko Takagi's skill called "Financial Risk" is really interesting.

Because of Hou Xin, Dong Huang, who was full of confidence, had already used it before the mission started.

Zhang Yu felt that Widow Qing could also develop special abilities, so Zhang Yu had to train him personally and wait for the opportunity before dedicating them to Dong Huang.

Zhang Yu has five daughters and two sons, and she also wants to make progress.

Zhang Yu was also worried about this family.

Zhang Yu thinks that maybe they can be used as dowry for Zhen Ji?

Or, they can play special mahjong with Dong Huang?

Dong Huang is undoubtedly the bird god, after all, the birds are really amazing, and the remaining three can be Nestle.

Of course, how to really satisfy Nestle depends on how well she trains Nestle.
