When he received the news of the great victory in Guandong City, Zhao Xun breathed a sigh of relief and felt much more relaxed. He said to Zhao Ning with a smile on his face:

"When I got those guys' declarations of loyalty to the imperial court, I was always worried that this was a trap set by the Qin State. They were afraid of revolutionary wars, noticed the existence and development of innovative forces in the army, and wanted to block the hidden dangers of war, so they set it up specifically for us.

bait.

"Now that the 52nd Regiment has revolted as scheduled, although it cannot completely prove the sincerity of those people, we can at least see their sincerity. In the future, we can take their surrender into strategic and tactical considerations."

Zhao Ning nodded slightly and said calmly: "From the very beginning, they have been in contact with you, Fourth Uncle. It is up to Fourth Uncle to decide how to handle the situation."

Zhao Xun rubbed his hands with great interest and could not bear the excitement in his heart.

Ever since he was assassinated when he was young and lost his cultivation and roots, he lost the possibility of being promoted to the King's Realm. Although he later revived under the inspiration of Zhao Ning, the limitations of his strength limited what he could do.

Wanting to achieve great achievements that are admired by thousands of people, make a name for the world, and experience the romance that will leave a name in history has long been hopeless for Zhao Xun. This is hopeless for the once ambitious son of the emperor.

????????It is undoubtedly a huge regret and unsatisfaction in life.

When those in the Qin State intended to submit to the imperial court, in order to hide themselves from being exposed in advance, not to alert the aristocratic families, and at the same time to ensure the smooth progress of the plan, they were unable to contact the prominent figures of the Zhao family whose every move attracted attention.

Not to mention Zhao Ning, there are existences like Zhao Qiyue, Yuan Muzhen, Zhao Yujie, Andrew and others are always watching. Too many people are paying attention to every move of Wangji realm masters.

In this case, Zhao Xun, who was previously well-known in the Zhao family, but now has poor cultivation and is not taken seriously by others, but has great weight and influence in the Zhao family, became the best person to contact the other party.

Candidate.

The torrent of history and the ups and downs of the times allowed Zhao Xun to stand at a key position in the world war at an almost impossible time. He displayed his lifelong ambition and had the opportunity to leave his name in history. How could he not be extremely excited?

"How is the situation in the northern border?" After calming down, Zhao Xun asked a slightly abrupt question.

"No progress."

Zhao Ning knew the intention of Zhao Xun's question and answered simply, "The grassland is too vast and our troops are limited. The Tianyuan army is familiar with the place. Guerrilla is still their old profession. Now they are determined to run around. We really

It is difficult to surround them and annihilate them.

"Fourth uncle, just let go and do whatever you want. I will take care of the military strength."

After receiving Zhao Ning's guarantee, Zhao Xun couldn't help but his face glowed red, and every pore was full of high spirits when he laughed, "In that case, I'm not polite. If the situation goes well enough and I want to defeat Qin quickly, I

At least this number is needed!”

He held out two fingers.

Zhao Ning responded with a reassuring smile: "No problem, I can give Uncle Fourth this number."

After the straightforward conversation, Zhao Xun calmed down. He pondered for a moment, looked at Zhao Ning and said cautiously: "Although their sincerity is reflected, after all, it only involves one regiment, and only one brigade is decided, and only one person is affected.

Guandong City area.

"As far as the overall war is concerned, this action does not have much lethality. If this is just a bait and their purpose is still to set a trap for us, then if we go to war in such a big way, are we a little careless and rash, and will we lose a big thing for a small amount?"

Those people said they wanted to submit to the imperial court, be loyal to the dynasty, and support innovation. But now the two sides are hostile and a war is ongoing. How can we just believe what the opponent says? Who can guarantee that it is not the other side's ulterior motives?

People are so separated from each other that even brothers, father and son cannot fully trust each other at this critical moment when it comes to determining their fundamental interests, future prospects, wealth and life.

"War itself is an adventure, and making choices is always a trade-off. We must believe in something to keep things going."

The problem is never to believe in yourself, but that many times you have to choose to believe in something other than yourself. This is when your ability to analyze and judge is tested. Zhao Ning has rich experience in this, "They have reasons to seek refuge in the imperial court.

"Whether it's from the general trend of the world or from the perspective of their own interests, they all have a starting point for doing this. And based on my understanding of them, this matter is worth fighting for and worth taking risks."

At this point, Zhao Ning paused, his eyes gradually sharpened, and his voice gradually rose, "To say the least, even if the Battle of Guandong City is a bait, it is still a bait of sufficient weight.

"The original complete Hexi flank defense line has opened a gap. We have a breakthrough target. As long as the subsequent actions are powerful enough, we can open a larger gap along the way.

"Even if they want to plot against us, we can still use them to plot against us. The fear of the revolutionary war is never about the enemy's powerful plot, but about whether there is a gap where we can start.

"As long as there is, a single spark can start a prairie fire.

"The relationship between hunter and prey has never been static. Who is the knife and who is the fish? The victory or defeat has not yet been determined. How can people know at this time?

"If they really dare to go back on their word and use uprising as bait, it is tantamount to playing with fire and burning themselves. If they really plan to do this, let them see the horror of revolutionary war!"

After listening to Zhao Ning's words, Zhao Xun clapped his hands and praised: "This is exactly the truth!"

Zhao Ning came to the map and looked at the Guandong, Heyang, and Hancheng areas and fell into thinking.

If there is to be a breakthrough in the Battle of Hexi, we can only find opportunities from the flanks. Even without the cooperation of those people, the special operations group's operation will still proceed. The only difference is whether the operation can be successful.

Judging from the previous battlefield conditions, without the victory in Zhaodu Town, the rebel army would not have the strength to attack Guandong City, and without the cooperation of the 52nd Regiment, the battle of Guandong City would not be a great victory.

The other party's cooperative behavior was very decisive and violent.

Because of this, the rebel army is in a good situation right now.

This is exactly what it means for the other party to submit to the imperial court.

If not, how can they obtain the qualifications to survive and a place in the future world?

In the following period, Zhao Ning and Zhao Xun left Jinzhou and went to Puzhou as the front line, where they commanded the actions of the rebel army on the Hexi flank. This also marked that the rebel army's campaign became the core of the overall situation.

Under their arrangement, the Yuan Fangxian Brigade, reorganized into the First Division of the Hexi Army of the Jin Dynasty, began to clean up the remaining enemies in the Guandong City area.

The Qin army stationed in the nearby area had already lost one division of its strength to the rebels. Without strong reinforcements on the frontal battlefield, the remaining enemies were quickly wiped out.

On the surface, this battle was the result of the battle to defend Guandong City. The rebels attacked with great force from all sides. In fact, they only fought to confuse part of the Qin army. The main three regiments of the first division went north early and entered the Qin army's garrison in Heyang overnight.

territory.

The Second Brigade of the Special Operations Regiment, which was performing a mission here, was originally in an evenly matched situation with the Qin army here. Because of the bravery of the children of the general family, the two sides fought in a tug-of-war, and neither could do anything to the other.

After the three regiments of the First Division entered the battlefield, they directly raided Heyang City, disrupting the deployment of the Qin Army and forcing the main force of the Qin Army, which was fighting fiercely with the rebel army led by the Second Brigade, to retreat.

Hit it hard.

In the end, the two rebel armies attacked from both sides and completely defeated the main force of the Qin army in Heyang area, captured a large number of prisoners, and took advantage of the situation to seize the city of Heyang.

Under the call of the First Division and the inspiration of the rebel soldiers, a large number of Qin soldiers were either forced, numb or active to join the rebel army, strengthening the strength of the rebel army.

Subsequently, the troops led by the Second Battalion were integrated into the combat order of the First Division. As a result, the First Division, which originally had about five regiments, was expanded to nine regiments, possessing a complete division-level combat strength.

The Qin army lost its second division-level combat power on the flank battlefield.

The First Division of the Hexi Army did not stay in Heyang City for long. Fang Xian followed the instructions of Zhao Ning and Zhao Xun, left part of his force to clean up the mess, and led five regiments to go north again and enter the battle zone of the Qin Army in Hancheng.

The Third Battalion of the Special Operations Regiment, which performs tasks here, has the smallest amount of rebel forces gathered and has made the least progress. It only has a strength of more than a thousand people. Moreover, its offensive operations have repeatedly suffered setbacks, causing heavy casualties among soldiers. The morale of the military is unstable and morale is low.

It was Zhao Xun who was most worried.

According to Zhao Xun's established plan, if the Third Battalion was attacked by the main force of the Qin Army, it would have no choice but to withdraw to Hedong with the existing uprising forces.

However, the Hancheng Qin Army was different from the Heyang Qin Army. They did not decisively dispatch the main force to attack the third brigade at the most favorable time to attack. Instead, they were frightened by the rebel army's powerful actions and chose the most prudent and conservative strategy:

Stand firm and wait for help.

In the war zone composed of Hancheng and its surrounding areas, like Heyang and Guandong, there were about a division of troops stationed. Faced with the temporarily formed rebel army of only more than a thousand people, they did not choose to attack.

To say that the Qin army in Hancheng was unbearable, it was indeed unbearable, but in fact it was not that unbearable.

First of all, although the actions of the Third Brigade did not achieve the expected results, after all, they instigated an uprising of more than a thousand Qin troops in almost overnight, and various detachments and squads attacked in all directions, creating a great momentum.

Although the Qin army camps and companies stationed in various places repelled the rebel attacks, they only repelled them. To be honest, they only defended themselves.

Who knows if the rebels have reinforcements and what their next move will be?

Secondly, the rebel forces in the Heyang and Guandong areas became more and more powerful, and their results became more and more obvious. The chaos they created spread to the Hancheng defense area. Although it had no actual lethality, it had a considerable deterrent effect.

The Qin army in the Hancheng defense area did not understand the enemy's true combat strength and specific intentions, and their eyes were completely blank. Faced with the situation of being under fire from all sides, they chose a conservative and prudent strategy in a short period of time, which is a manifestation of maturity and prudentness.

The most important thing on the battlefield is not defeating the enemy, but ensuring that you are undefeated is the first priority and the foundation of everything.

If you don't act, don't make mistakes, don't expose your flaws, and don't give the enemy a chance, the probability of failure will be minimized.

"This is called being immovable by all eight winds and as stable as Mount Tai. After a few days, we will have collected enough battlefield intelligence and know enough about the enemy. When we have the opportunity to attack, we will naturally be able to make achievements. If we act rashly now and lose our troops in vain, then

All chances will be lost!”

The highest officer of the Qin Army in Hancheng, a man from a poor family who finally reached his current position through hard work, once warned his subordinates from aristocratic families who wanted to take the initiative.

In short, the Third Battalion was not driven back to Hedong by the Qin army. Instead, it took the time to conduct unit training to ensure that it still had the ability to continue fighting.
