Chapter 720: Stop the Boiling with Soup (Destroy Han End)
After the beginning of spring, the food and grass in Xinzheng, South Korea, became less and less. Previously, we could focus on the 100,000 elite soldiers on both sides of the Jishui River, and there was a continuous supply of food and grass, as well as all kinds of good things.
However, as chaos broke out in Xinzheng City, every dispatch of food and grass either disappeared or broke out frequently. When the news spread, the entire Xinzheng city was completely in chaos inside and outside.
The 100,000 troops outside the city who had just been recruited last year could no longer bear the treatment of Han Wangan. They either fled secretly to Yingchuan, or stayed in Xinzheng City instead of serving as soldiers.
In short, I will continue to wait outside the city and will definitely quit.
"After all... I still let you down."
Climbing high and looking, the entire northern city of Xinzheng can be seen. Now, everyone in the city has become extremely panicked. There is a shortage of food and grass. The soldiers are going from house to house searching for surplus grain for military use.
More and more people of suitable age were forcibly recruited to various parts of the city to reinforce the city and the defense lines outside the city, or were sent to the front line to serve as defenses on both sides of the Jishui River.
In times of chaos, chaos emerges, and in times of plunder, lawless things occur frequently... Even though Zhang Liang was a military commander, he was helpless for a while. Moreover, it seemed that he could no longer enter the open space in the house.
"You... did not disappoint us."
"Your Dharma will be passed down forever."
Wearing a close-fitting purple dress, she stood beside Han Fei, also looking at Xinzheng at this moment. Over the years, she had been extremely familiar with everything in Xinzheng, but now, it seemed that everything was about to disappear.
I recall that when the quicksand was first established, everyone was very high-spirited and wanted to reverse the current disadvantages of Korea, return to the strong Korea, and then plan for the Xia Dynasty. They never thought that all the past would disappear into thin air.
"My law... may become immortal."
"But my country is going to be buried."
"Miss Zinu, you and I are each other's confidants. Han Fei has three things to ask of us today, and Wan Wang agrees."
His Dharma is immortal, but his home and country are really going to disappear. Han Fei is in a panic, with all kinds of things rolling in his mind. He turns slightly, facing Zi Nu's bright autumn eyes, and holds his hands.
A gift.
"You...decided?"
Hearing this, a trace of sadness flashed across the face of Zi Goddess, and she looked at the handsome man in front of her quietly. Once upon a time, in Xinzheng, the night was so powerful, and she had never begged anyone, but now...
He finally made up his mind, maybe he should know what he said.
"Yes, I have decided."
Han Fei stood up straight, looked at Zi Nu, smiled softly, took a step forward, took out three letters from his arms, held them with both hands, and handed them to Zi Nu.
"I will."
The purple girl showed her first move.
"Ninth Young Master."
Suddenly, the door of the room was suddenly opened, and Zhang's wife, dressed in light green brocade clothes, walked in with a very sad expression, looking at the two people in front of the window, painfully speaking, full of helplessness.
"Ninth Young Master, my grandfather has gone."
Xiang Guo walked away with an open mind.
The biggest core figure of the Zhang family in Xinzheng is gone, and today's Korea seems to be in a precarious situation. Could it be that this is Korea's destiny, or this is the Zhang family's destiny.
After hearing what Zhang Liang said, Han Fei and his children looked at each other and fell into a long silence.
******
Spring March!
Nanyang County, on the outskirts of Wancheng, within the shogunate's military tent.
All the generals gathered together, the troops and horses were ready to move, and the soldiers on patrol were in high spirits. This was the second time that Marquis Wuzhen came here after the autumn day last year. The meaning is self-evident.
The time has come for them to make a contribution.
"The Art of War says that the first step is to attack with troops, then to attack with friends, and the third step is to fight. It seems that the King of Han will not give us this opportunity. Even so, we should give the King of Han a good explanation."
Walking casually in the shogunate, the generals in front of him stood with their fists clasped. They were all equally surprised. They could have sent out troops a month ago, but it was not too late to wait until now.
Now finally, the fighter planes are about to attack South Korea.
A war to destroy a country is not a success.
"Ye Teng, you are the leading general, and all military affairs are entrusted to you."
Following the previous words, Zhou Qing glanced at Nanyang Guard Ye Teng beside him, stepped out and returned to the top seat. The matter of mobilizing troops for the war had its previously planned strategy.
"Here!"
Ye Teng, who was dressed in red, bowed and took out a roll of cloth documents from his arms. He looked in front of the military tent and glanced left and right. Suddenly, a solemn atmosphere spread in the shogunate.
"Everyone will obey the order!"
He shouted in one word.
"exist!"
"..."
Everyone responded with clasped fists, and bright eyes automatically focused on Ye Teng.
"Baicong, you are leading the right vanguard, leading an army of 40,000 people. They will come out from Changshe and press directly on the east bank of the Jishui River!"
Words come out.
A middle-aged military general wearing heavy black armor came out of the queue, bowed his hands in a salute, and at the same time received the military deployment order from his superior, Ye Teng.
"Jixiang, you are the leader of the left vanguard. You will lead an army of 40,000 people. They will leave Yongshi's city and attack the west bank of the Jishui River!"
Words come out.
A young general wearing dark gray heavy armor came out of the queue, cupped his fists and saluted, and took the military command from Ye Teng.
"Li Kai, you should lead an elite cavalry force of 15,000 people to the land of Yingchuan to block South Korea's retreat!"
Words come out.
A middle-aged military general wearing silver armor came out of the queue, cupped his fists and saluted, and took the military command from Ye Teng.
"The general will be in charge of the shogunate, and then he will step up to coordinate the food, grass, baggage, and military equipment."
"In this battle, Korea must be destroyed!"
"We must destroy Korea in one battle!"
Although I traveled to South Korea, I was so disappointed in South Korea. There was night before, and then there was the bloody weather, and now it is even more chaotic in the temple. To compete with the general trend of the world, we should conform to the general trend.
Now that you have made your choice, you must keep going.
What he bears is not only his own life, but also the fate of the entire family and Nanyang. No matter what, Korea must be destroyed.
Immediately, Ye Teng turned slightly and looked up at Marquis Wu Zhen.
Zhou Qing nodded gently.
In an instant, the whole of Nanyang was shaken. The army that had been prepared long ago moved directly forward; the food, grass and baggage that had been prepared long ago moved directly forward; the civilian forces that had been prepared long ago moved directly forward.
Looking down, next to the south bank of the Han River in the Central Plains of Zhuxia, a dark camp of one hundred thousand Qin troops appeared, facing each other across the bank.
At the same time, General Meng Wu, the general of the camp outside the pass stationed in Zhaiyang in the north, also mobilized troops and mobilized troops constantly to block the passage from northern Korea to Zhao and Wei.
If it weren't for the king's order this time to destroy Han in Nanyang, the camp outside the pass would have been unable to bear it. Destroying Korea was a big fat piece of meat. If it could be swallowed, the entire camp outside the pass would benefit a lot.
The cool spring breeze passed by. On the south bank of the Mishui River, flags were fluttering and the black dragon flag was hanging high. On the north bank, the military flag that also belonged to South Korea was moving. One hundred thousand elite soldiers who had been stationed here since last year were stationed here in order to deal with it.
.
"Sir, how should we deal with the current situation?"
Naturally, there are scouts in the army on the north bank of South Korea, and they are also aware of Qin's deployment in Nanyang. Now there are a little more than 100,000 Chen soldiers in Wei River, and there are still some Chen soldiers in Yingchuan.
But no matter what, the Jianshui River is an important place. Without the Jianshui River, the Qin State could rush directly to Xinzheng, a hundred and fifty miles away. Therefore, the line of defense they were on was extremely important.
In the Chinese shogunate, Han Qiu looked at the silver-haired man in black with a very anxious expression, bowed his hands and asked softly.
"The name Jin Han is not a false name."
"There is a river blocking the river in the south. Have all the fortifications been prepared?"
Wei Zhuang stood next to a map hanging in the shogunate. He stood with his sword and looked at it quietly. When he heard the voice of Han Qiu beside him, his cold voice fell.
"Be prepared and don't dare to make any mistakes."
Although there is Jianshui, it is not a river that crosses the land of Zhuxia after all. The width of the river is only more than five feet, so for the Qin State, it is probably not a natural hazard.
If the Qin soldiers forcefully cross the Jianshui River, they will be engaged in a head-on battle. With the vigor and energy of the soldiers in the barracks now, and they are no longer at the peak of last year, I am afraid it will be difficult. Although Han Chou thought so in his heart, he did not dare to say anything.
"The entire South Korea is surrounded by Qin soldiers. If you want to save South Korea, you have to hold out Qin's offensive for three months and wait for help from other countries."
"How many days can Lishui's 100,000 elite soldiers, plus the current stored grain and grass, be able to hold on?"
Wei Zhuang asked back.
"Half a month!"
Han Qiu gave a definite number.
"That's not enough. You continue to send people to Xinzheng. As long as we have weapons of war and endless supplies of food and grass, I can hold it for three months!"
Wei Zhuang said coldly, then turned his body and the black Xuanguang clothes under his feet disappeared.
"……,yes!"
Han Qiu felt at ease. Now he no longer wanted to defeat Qin. As long as he could persist, it was enough. With the ability of Guigu's disciples, he could persist for three months before reinforcements arrived.
At this time, everything will change drastically.
"Wuzhenhou, it seems that the Korean soldiers on the north bank of the Mishui River do not want to confront us head-on. They have only built five lines of defensive fortifications, and it is said that the sixth line is still being built."
"I have heard about those fortifications. If we attack them one by one head-on, I am afraid it will take a lot of time, at least half a month, or even more, and we will also lose troops and generals."
"Delaying it will be beneficial to South Korea."
On the sand table in the shogunate's military tent, there is no need to look at the south bank of the Mishui River. On the north bank, according to reports from scouts, coupled with Wu Zhenhou's own repairs, it looks like there are many fortifications in front of it.
There were indeed many ditches and arrow formations. Although the Qin army was not afraid of these, the losses under the attack were considerable, and Ye Teng was a little worried.
"What's your plan?"
Zhou Qing glanced at the sand table, and in the depths of his eyes, a purple mysterious light flickered. He looked directly at the north bank of the Jishui River, and an area of dozens of miles appeared in the depths of his eyes.
"The general thought that when the secrets in Xinzheng were activated, the north bank of Lishui River was currently relying on nothing more than a road to continuously transport grain and grass. As long as it was cut off and supplemented by rumors, the morale of the army would be dispersed."
"It is true that the Korean soldiers will collapse without attacking."
He himself has led troops to fight for many years, and he is very clear about the affairs in the army. Since South Korea wants to delay, then give up the idea of South Korea delaying.
How to do it!
The most direct way is to leave the Korean soldiers with no way to retreat and have no choice but to fight and burn all the remaining food and grass in Korea.
"Hahaha, use soup to stop the boiling, and the boiling will not stop. If you sincerely understand its origin, then the fire will be gone."
