Chapter 739: Kindness and righteousness in troubled times come at a high price
Chang'an, Bashang.
The two military camps are less than ten miles apart and stand opposite each other. The two flags of Qin and Yan are flying high at the gates of the two military camps. The officers and soldiers of the Qin army in black clothes and armor are well-equipped and have sharp armor.
Xianbei warriors with small helmets, braided hair and various tattoos rode war horses and roared in the camp, making bursts of shouts. Although the two armies did not open camp to fight, the soldiers of the two armies
The soaring fighting spirit was enough to melt the land in Guanzhong in July. Even the Wei River between the two armies was affected by this fighting spirit and boiled from time to time.
Fu Jian's brows were furrowed. He had been here for ten days. He originally wanted to come to Xianbei and Xiyan's army to fight quickly, but he didn't expect that Murong Chong was here to hang up the battle-free card and couldn't set up camp. He challenged the opponent several times and was shot by the opponent.
Shooting back, the layout of this camp is extremely strict. The elite soldiers are in the front, and the cavalry can attack from the secondary gates on both sides. The cattle and sheep are in the back camp, which stretches for dozens of miles. The ancient Qin Afang Palace is used as a barrier and the Wei River is used as a barrier.
, covering one's flanks extremely well. Unless an overwhelming force is used to attack, it is impossible to win quickly in this situation.
Next to Fu Jian, Pingyuan Duke Fu Hui was wearing a general's robe and armor, and his sword was stationed on the ground. Since he led 70,000 troops from Luoyang to Chang'an last month, he had not finished his conquests, so he hurriedly went into battle again, bringing 50,000 horses with him.
Thanks to the frontline support, Murong Hong was killed. Shi Gaogai, the commander who took over the army, did not dare to send out a large army to intercept because of his lack of favors, so he allowed Fu Hui's new army to join forces with Fu Jian. However, Murong Chong soon also got
Reinforcements, with no less than 50,000 troops, were confronting each other across the river here. Yao Chang's place on the other side was also motionless. The two battlefields in the Guanzhong area fell into a delicate balance, but as time went by, the Qin army's vigor increased.
As the situation continued to decline, the advantage that it originally had gradually began to be lost.
Fu Jian curled his lips and said, "Hui'er, how is the situation in Sanyuan?"
Fu Hui shook his head: "It's still the same as before, Yao Chang closed the camp and couldn't leave, and Yang Hujun and the others also obeyed the father's instructions and refused to take the initiative to fight. But now a new problem has come, our army's
The food reserves are only enough for three months."
Fu Jian's expression changed and he turned his head: "Why is it only enough for three months? Didn't it turn out that Chang'an's military rations can be used for one year?"
Fu Hui sighed: "This time, I have not only moved 70,000 troops from Luoyang, but also more than 100,000 Di and Han people, nearly 500,000 people. In addition, because of the current war, many people in Guanzhong have
He also fled to Chang'an to seek protection. Father, you have issued an order saying that no one should refuse the people who came to flee. Now the city of Chang'an is already full of these refugees. It used to be able to support more than a year of food, but only three days are left.
It's been a month. Quan Pushe just sent a message today, asking us what to do. Should we release the people out of the city and let them fend for themselves."
Fu Jian gritted his teeth and said: "No, the people regard me as their parent and monarch. They will come to help them when they are in trouble. If I leave them alone at this time, I will only lose people's hearts. I am incompetent in governing the country and incapable of fighting. That's why I am incompetent."
The people are suffering, but they still insist on being loyal to me at this time, which shows how valuable people's hearts are. How can we live up to their intentions? The only plan now is to think about how to defeat these current rebels as soon as possible, instead of
Expelling the people, as long as we win and pacify Guanzhong, the people will naturally be able to go back to farming, and then all temporary difficulties will be solved."
A trace of shame flashed across Fu Hui's face: "It's my child's foolish opinion. Please forgive me, father, but procrastinating here like this is not an option. Now that the Yan army is in civil strife and Murong Hong is killed, Murong Chongxin will
I did not dare to go back to Murong Hong's camp. Each side led an army to station separately. I was able to lead the troops to come smoothly this time because of the lack of cooperation between them. Otherwise, we would focus on one road and destroy one family first.
, and then the other road will be easily eaten."
Fu Jian shook his head: "No, the enemy's two camps are very tightly defended. The camps are equipped with hidden murderous plans, waiting for our army to take the initiative to attack. The Xianbei cavalry is good at field combat, but they can resist stalemate with us, presumably because they want to
Lure our army to take the initiative to attack, and when the attack on the camp fails, morale declines, and the strength is insufficient, we will dispatch cavalry to defeat our army in one fell swoop. Now our army is the last elite of the Qin Dynasty. Once it fails, Chang'an will be difficult to defend.
We have to find a way to inspire the Xianbei rebels to take the initiative to fight."
Fu Hui sighed: "We have challenged Xianbei many times over the past few days, but Xianbei has been unable to defend, so what can we do to get them to fight?"
Fu Jian curled his lips, and suddenly his eyes fell on Fu Hui's crimson cloak. A gust of wind blew by, and the cloak lifted up, making it dazzling. Fu Jian slapped his thigh suddenly and said with a smile: "There is a way! Come on!
People, go back to Chang'an Palace quickly and get Gu Gu's brocade robe!"
At night, the Xiyan Army and the Chinese Army camped.
Murong Chong roared angrily, kicked over the handsome desk in front of him, pointed at a servant in green clothes and a small hat who was kneeling on the ground in front of him, and shouted: "This old dog bullies people too much. Come on, please give me a hand."
Push this slave out and kill him. Gather your troops and follow me to fight tomorrow!"
As the servant's screams faded away, Murong Yong smiled slightly and picked up the dusty brocade robe that had been thrown to the ground and stepped on many times by Murong Chong.
He said, "Isn't it a pity that the King of Zhongshan would waste such a good robe like this?!"
Murong Chong roared wildly, his eyes widened, and he pressed his hand on the hilt of the sword. Looking at Murong Yong's eyes, he almost burst into flames: "Murong Yong, don't you know that this is the man who was once imprisoned in the Qin Palace?
, when the old dog was humiliated and finally kicked out of the palace, the old dog pretended to give something to the orphan? Don’t you know what the old dog’s intention was in giving this thing to the orphan at this time? "
Murong Yong calmly held the brocade robe in his hand, looked at Murong Chong, and said calmly: "What's the intention? I just want to see King Xiang of Zhongshan like this, furious, and then raise an army out of anger and assemble the whole battalion of soldiers.
Attack the Qin army's camp by force, and then use the strong camp and sharp armored soldiers to kill everyone. Finally, Fu Jian will stand next to your body, cover it with this robe, and then point at your body,
He smiled at his soldiers and said, "Look, this is the outcome of opposing the King of Qin!"
Murong Chong stood there blankly, with cold sweat breaking out on his head. After a long time, he sighed, changed his appearance and cupped his hands towards Murong Yong, saying: "General, it was an impulsive act. Fortunately, you reminded me properly. The old dog just wanted to provoke me to fight. Let's
