Chapter 118 Counterattack Counterattack
"After the two battles between Your Majesty, Shaoliang and Luoyin, the situation has been reversed."
In the main hall, Gongsun Qi, a Sima, was standing in front of a map, introducing the current situation on the battlefield in Hexi to Wei Hou Wei Feng and Prime Minister Gongshu Cuo.
The fact is as Gongsun Qi said, after winning the Battle of Shaoliang and defeating the Qin army, the Wei state has gradually turned from its original disadvantage into an advantage.
As Long Jia's army retook Luoyin City, retreating again and again, and guarding the defense for several months, Wei's counterattack in the Battle of Hexi was finally about to begin.
Looking at the Hexi battlefield at this moment through the map, the 60,000-strong army led by Pang Juan is stationed in the north, and the 70,000-strong army led by Long Jia is stationed in the south.
As for the 40,000 soldiers of the Qin army who retreated to Yuanli after Shaoliang's defeat, they were right in the middle of these two armies.
At this moment, Wei was like a boxer catching the enemy's attacks one after another. After taking advantage of the enemy's attack to deliver a winning punch, a powerful and swift counterattack followed.
After hearing that Gongsun Qi had finished analyzing the situation on the Hexi battlefield, Wei Feng looked at him with a hint of understanding on his face.
"Sima's use of troops is indeed unique."
"Previously, I originally wanted Pang Juan to lead a total of 100,000 troops to reinforce Shaoliang, but Sima proposed that Pang Juan lead an army of 60,000 across Longmen Ferry to reinforce Shaoliang, and another 40,000 troops to cross the river from Pubanjin to Linjin."
"Without this suggestion from Sima, our country Wei might have been able to win the Battle of Shaoliang, but how could we have gained such a huge advantage?"
"Your Majesty has given you too much praise, but I am just advising you to adapt to local conditions and the time."
After responding to Wei Feng's praise with some humble words, Gongsun Qi immediately looked solemn and bowed to the front with solemnity.
"Your Majesty, now that our army has gained an advantage on the battlefield in Hexi, it is time to counterattack the Qin State."
Facing the two eyes that were looking at him at this moment, a smile appeared on Wei Feng's face, "Since the previous strategy was decided by Sima, how to counterattack still requires Sima to be the widower and plan for Wei."
"I will obey your orders."
After saluting Wei Feng again, Gongsun Qi's eyes returned to the map.
After a few breaths, I saw Gongsun Qi pointing his finger at the cities on the map, while telling Wei Feng and Gongshu Cuo in front of him about the strategy in his heart.
In Gongsun Qi's next plan, Pang Juan's army on the northern front, which had just concluded the Battle of Shaoliang, would be replaced from the main offensive position, while Longjia's army on the southern front would become the main offensive force in the second phase of the Battle of Hexi.
Among them, the specific task of Pang Juan's army was to divert the attention of the remaining 40,000 men under Zhang Yu's command while retaking the city of Duping to the west.
As for what Longjia's army in the south needs to accomplish, it is to immediately advance to the northwest and capture Chongquan City, the core of Qin's defense on the Luoshui line, before the Qin army can react.
After a moment, Wei Feng looked at Gongsun Qi's right hand that was slowly lowered, and a hint of joy slowly appeared on his face.
"If everything goes as Sima said, our Wei State will not only be able to pull the battle line from the river back to the Luoshui line, but also completely cut off the connection between Zhang Yu's troops and the Qin State. They will also transform from a defeated army to a
For the army of death.”
As soon as Wei Feng finished speaking, Gongshu Cuo on the side quickly stepped forward, his face also full of excitement.
"What's more important is that when everything is really completed, the cities west of Luoshui and east of Jushui of Qin will be undefeated, and the capital of Qin, Yueyang, will face the front of our army."
At this moment, the expression on Wei Feng's face became more and more excited, as if he could already see the scene of the Wei army crossing the Ju River and approaching Yueyang City.
At that time, as the front line of the battle between Qin and Wei moved west from Luoshui to the line of Jushui, the land in Hexi occupied by Wei will also be safer.
Looking at the expression on Wei Feng's face at this moment and feeling the expectation in his heart, Gongsun Qi, as a minister, was naturally very happy.
Just as he was thinking in his mind, Wei Feng broke away from that state. Although there was still a bit of excitement in his eyes, his whole temperament suddenly changed.
With a touch of respect, he looked at Gongsun Qi, who was thinking, and heard Wei Feng sigh from the bottom of his heart: "This time, our country Wei was able to achieve such a great victory, and Sima should be the first to take the lead."
"It is my great fortune to have Sima, and it is also the great fortune of Wei State." After sighing with emotion, Wei Feng took a step back and solemnly bowed: "Sir, please accept my bow."
"Your Majesty..."
Seeing Wei Feng bowing to him again, Gongsun Qi was naturally very moved.
Gongsun Qi also felt that he was lucky to meet such a monarch who trusted him unreservedly.
He quickly stepped forward and helped Wei Feng up. When their eyes met and their hands were held together, a smile appeared on their faces at the same time.
Everything is left unsaid.
After a few breaths, he slowly let go of Gongsun Qi's hands, and Wei Feng's eyes slowly turned to Gongsun Qi on the other side.
"The Prime Minister has really worked hard to raise food and supplies for the army in the past few months." With an extremely gentle tone, Wei Feng continued: "The war is still going on, and I will have to trouble the Prime Minister for a while longer."
"As the minister of the emperor and the prime minister of a country, I should be the emperor and share the worries of Wei State. How can I dare to say anything troublesome?"
After saying this to Wei Feng, Gongshu Cuo immediately bowed solemnly to the front, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, enough food, grass and supplies for Long Jia's army have been collected and can be transported from Anyi to Linjin tomorrow."
"I still made the same promise to your Majesty. I will never let the army miss the opportunity to fight due to lack of food, grass and baggage."
"color!"
"He is worthy of being the prime minister of a humble man."
After a few breaths, Wei Feng held Gongshu Cuo with his left hand and Gongsun Qi with his right hand. He looked at the two of them with expressions of satisfaction.
"Being able to have the help of the Prime Minister and Sima Xiang will really give me another pair of arms."
…
After receiving the good news sent back from the front line, Anyi City in the Wei State was naturally in an atmosphere of joy; while Yuanli City, hundreds of miles away from Anyi, was completely different and gloomy.
"Report..."
A burst of anxious footsteps appeared outside the room, immediately attracting the attention of the three Qin army generals Zhang Xi, Shu Changguo, and Ying Qian.
When the panting messenger appeared in front of the three of them, Zhang Yu, the commander-in-chief, quickly asked: "What happened? Why are you so panicked?"
After trying hard to calm down his somewhat confused breathing, he heard the messenger quickly say: "General Qi, Duping has been captured by Pang Juan's army."
