Qin Dynasty: Sword Asks the Bright Moon

Chapter 342 The Wind Rises in Western Chu

Among the hundreds of schools of thought, the farming family has the longest history and is the most powerful with the largest number of people. The land of Huaisi is also the main area for farmers’ activities. The land of Huaisi is the land of Dongyi, and later the land of Xu and Song Dynasty. The State of Chu, the State of Wu, the State of Yue, the State of Chu, and even the State of Wei had been fighting here for hundreds of years. Although they eventually fell into the Chu State, it was difficult to rule such a vast land according to the Chu State’s ruling structure, and the Chu State The weakness of the officialdom also provides broad space for farmers to expand here.

Most of the people in Huaisi land joined the farm families without studying any martial arts. Of course, most people just wanted to help each other to get a chance of survival in this troubled world. It is for this reason that the farm families He can even claim to have one hundred thousand disciples.

And Liu Ji belongs to a minority of them. He just doesn't want to be like his father and brother, working around a hundred acres of land all his life. He wants to enter the world and appreciate the elegance of the world. He doesn't necessarily have to I have it, but at least I have been here, seen, and played with it. At least when my life is approaching, I will not recall the past events of my life as blank and monotonous.

It was with this in mind that Liu Ji joined the farmer's family when he was a teenager. Relying on his boldness, carefulness, thick skin, and eloquence, he managed to get through in the farmer's family even though his position was not high, but his connections were great. It's quite good, even if he is a brother-in-law to the new head of Shennong Hall.

It is precisely because of this that Liu Jicai heard the news from the Zhu family that the Qin army was about to attack Peixian and Pengcheng. Although Liu Ji's character was considered a bastard by his father and brother, Liu Ji could make so many friends, so naturally He has his own advantages and is not just relying on deception, so Liu Ji hurried home to report the news.

As soon as he heard that the Qin army was coming, Liu's father was frightened. He was in a hurry. If Liu Ji hadn't caught him in time, he might have fallen.

"What should we do?" Liu's father said in panic.

"Father, why are you panicking? Isn't the Qin army here yet? We can still escape into the city." Liu Ji comforted his old father.

"Is it useful to go to the city?" Father Liu could barely calm down at this time.

"I'm afraid it's useless, but at least it's better than staying where you are. As soon as the Qin army comes, the bandits may come out. Compared with the Qin army occupying the city, the bandits are the most troublesome." Liu Jidao.

Although the city will be attacked by the Qin army, the Qin army is a regular army after all, with its own military disciplines. After the war, it can still maintain the most basic order in Peixian County, but the countryside is also different. In the case of the collapse of Chu's ruling order Under the situation, any weird things may happen. It is better to go to the city, even if you are trembling under the sword of the Qin army, than to stay in the countryside and not know what to face.

"This is the truth." Father Liu said with lingering fear.

When the Liu family fled towards the county seat, the vanguard of the Qin army also appeared in Pei County. The Chu State seemed to really intend to fortify its walls and clear the country. The Qin army marched all the way without encountering any decent resistance. The vanguard really encountered resistance when they reached the gates of Peixian County.

Although Peixian County is not as important as Pengcheng, relying on the Surabaya River and its tributaries has made the water transportation from north to south very developed. It is also located in a plain and has prosperous farming, making Peixian County one of the few large towns with a radius of hundreds of miles. County, it is not that easy for the Qin army to capture such a city, but it is just not easy.

Under the uninterrupted attacks of the Qin Army's forwards, the morale of the Peixian defenders soon collapsed. In other words, there were only a few people who wanted to resist. Although the Qin Army's forwards were small, there were hundreds of thousands of troops in the follow-up, and Peixian's defenders Woolen cloth? Although there are defenders, most of them have been mobilized to Pengcheng for defense. Those left behind are the old, weak, sick and disabled. Being able to organize troops and horses for defense is already a sign of the county magistrate's ability and courage. How long can you expect them to keep guard?

The Qin army was unstoppable on the eastern front. In less than ten days, it controlled the entire Sishui River Basin except Pengcheng. However, the Wei army, which came out of Daliang and followed the Suishui River to the southeast, encountered stubborn resistance in Suiyang. .

Suiyang is a fortified city, and the Chu army has assembled heavy troops here. The Wei army has lost many troops due to several previous defeats, and its combat power is no longer at its peak. Facing the fortified city of Suiyang, the Wei army directly hit its head and broke it. Blood flowed, and then there was a sudden attack by Chu's Shadow Tiger Legion. If Dianqing hadn't led the elite Wei soldiers and set up an insurmountable wall on the plain, the Wei army would have even been scattered by Chu's subsequent Tenglong Legion. , it will definitely be an unspeakable fiasco.

Under Suiyang City, a Sui River divides the battlefield into three worlds.

The Chu army inside and outside the city, and the Wei army occupying the upper reaches of Suishui River.

In ten days, the Wei army and the Chu army fought seven formations on both sides of the Suishui River. Although Wei's soldiers were weak, they still had fighting strength. Although Chu's Tenglong Army and Shadow Tiger Army were powerful, they were still weak in front of Wei's soldiers. It is extremely difficult to defeat Wei Wuzu without reaching the level of the Dragon and Tiger Imperial Army.

However, although the Chu army could not gain the upper hand in the field battle, the Wei army was helpless during the siege. Seeing more and more corpses under Suiyang City, the Wei army had to worry.

In the Wei army's camp, the general of Wei looked at the map but was unable to do anything. Suiyang was not easy to attack, and he could only gain a slight upper hand in the field for a while. How to fight such a war?

"General, there is someone outside the camp asking to see you." When the general of Wei was worried, his soldiers reported outside the tent.

"No." The general of Wei said impatiently, but then his heart moved again, and he added: "Can the person here tell me who he is?"

"Back to General, the person who came here didn't say his name. He just claimed that his surname was Wei, with a Daliang accent." the soldier replied.

A native of Daliang, surnamed Wei? The general of Wei hesitated for a while. How could there be people named Wei in Liang here? Suddenly he thought of a possibility. Isn't there an unlucky guy who was exiled on the border of Chu and Wei?

In the Battle of Pu River, nearly all the 50,000 Wei troops were wiped out. Wei Yong's dream of becoming a powerful minister was tragically aborted as soon as he took one step. The people in the Wei state at that time only felt that Wei Yong was incompetent. Amid the anger of the people, Wei Yong was dismissed. In the end, he was even exiled to the border of Chu and Wei.

However, last year, when the Wei State united with the Zhao Army with an absolutely superior force and attacked Dongjun with more than 100,000 soldiers, the Qin Army was defeated by 30,000 people and was nearly wiped out. At that time, some Wei people suddenly realized Come on, it turns out that it’s not that Wei Yong is incompetent, it’s just that the Qin army was too fierce. Didn’t the Wei army in Dongjun suffer a worse defeat in World War II?

Thinking that it might be Wei Yong who appeared, the general of Wei changed his mind again and said: "Forget it, let's invite people in."

Outside the Wei army camp, Wei Yong looked at the camp with flags fluttering and smelled the familiar smell again. This is the smell of power. Wei Yong is not old yet, how can he die in a remote place? He wants to start again. Walk into this military camp, return to Daliang, and take back everything that belongs to you, no matter what the price is.

With the appearance of the general's personal soldiers, a smile appeared on Wei Yong's face. As long as he could enter this military camp, everything would be easy.

Under the leadership of his own soldiers, Wei Yong walked through tents one after another and finally came to the Chinese army's main tent.

"Master Wei, I'm going to say goodbye. I didn't expect to see you here again." General Wei looked at Wei Yong who walked into the tent, with a smile on his face.

"There is no Master Wei here. He is just a sinner who was exiled to the frontier." Wei Yong said with a bitter smile, looking like he was bitter and resentful. Appropriately showing himself to be weak can lower the other party's wariness. This is Wei Yong's method.

"Brother Wei was not incompetent in the battle at Pu River. It was only because the Qin army Yang Ming was too fierce. It was only because the crowd was so angry that the king had to punish Mr. Wei severely. I think there will definitely be a chance to recover in the future." General Wei road.

"I hope so." Wei Yong said sadly, looking discouraged, but since he appeared here, how could he be really discouraged? He, Wei Yong, is someone who will fight until death.

"Master Wei, why are you here this time?" the general of Wei asked, getting to the point.

"I came here to relieve the general's worries," Wei Yong said.

"Relieve worries?" The general of Wei was stunned. He was worried about the Chu army now. Wei Yong was alone, and he was not a top expert. How could he relieve his worries?

"Exactly, the city of Suiyang is strong and the Chu army is outnumbered. It will not be easy for the general to defeat Suiyang in such a situation." Wei Yong said.

"It is indeed not easy, I have already felt it, but what is the solution to the problem that Master Wei said?" General Wei asked.

"Although the Chu army is strong, the Qin army is even stronger. This time our Wei and Qin forces are coming together. Why doesn't the general ask for help from the Qin army?" Wei Yong asked.

"The Qin army is in charge of the east road and has contained hundreds of thousands of Chu troops. They may not be able to free up their hands to help us, right? Moreover, Suiyang belongs to our Wei State. If the Qin army takes it, the Qin army will swallow a lot. You may not be willing to give it to us." The general of Wei hesitated.

Gathering the army in one place is of course more beneficial to the coalition, but even if it is to cooperate with Qin, Wei does not want to join forces with Qin, so it is possible to divide the troops and advance together.

However, the Chu State is not all fools. It retreated step by step in front of the Qin Army, gathered a large number of troops under Pengcheng, and suddenly stretched the Qin Army's display by 300 miles. It was obviously ready to stalemate with the Qin Army. Prepare.

But on the western front, the Chu army gathered the most elite tribes and gave the Wei army a bloody blow. It was completely a posture of defeating the Wei army first and then attacking the Qin army. This made the Wei army miserable.

The Wei army thought well, but the Chu army was not a fool. Only the Qin army was strong enough. No matter what choice the Chu army made, the Qin army would remain invincible.

An upright teacher does not need the so-called cunning strategy at all.

"What the Qin army wants is not a city." Wei Yong said, but there was a lot of disgust in his heart. The powerful figures in Daliang City, from Lord Xinling to Lord Zhu Hai, and then to Lord Longyang, were almost dead, and they were reduced to this. Let such a person become a general.
