After Qin Hao appointed Li Hongzhang as his envoy to the Liao Kingdom, he turned his attention to the battlefield in Jizhou.
Although Gongsun Xuanyuan's side can reverse the situation of the entire battle, Gongsun Xuanyuan's attitude is already obvious. He clearly wants to be neutral. In addition, Gongsun Xuanyuan's neutrality is also good for the Qin army, so Qin Hao has no choice.
Too many distractions, after all, if you want to defeat the Northern Han Dynasty, you mainly need to rely on your own army.
On the Jizhou battlefield, with Han Xin taking charge of the entire army, the Qin army's offensive became more difficult, but the overall situation was still favorable to Qin Hao.
After Han Xin became the Governor-General of the Northern Han Dynasty, the Northern Han Dynasty Allied Forces were reborn, and their difficulty became several times higher than before. Han Xin overturned all previous arrangements, turned the entire Jizhou into a battlefield, and fought against the Qin army.
Every inch of land must be fought for.
With Han Xin's basic force of 103, coupled with the effect of the 'Soldier Immortal', the more the better, when the army reaches 400,000, after adding 4 points of command, Han Xin's command attribute also skyrockets to 107.
This is not the limit. With the addition of Gao Ming and Gao Jue's combo skill "Clear Eyes and Ears", a general with a command of more than 100 can be improved by 1, and Han Xin's command has been raised to 108.
A general with a commander attribute of 108 points will undoubtedly have terrifying ability to command troops.
Bai Qi's basic command point is only 106 points, and there are no other basic increases, so if he relies on himself alone, even Bai Qi will not be Han Xin's opponent.
Naturally, Qin Hao would not let Bai Qi fight alone, so before the war even started, he transferred the group of five good generals headed by Zhang Liao, the 'sage seeker' Zhang Liang, and Guo Jia to Bai Qi's command.
Although Bai Qi's own commander is not as good as Han Xin after receiving the skill blessing, but with the superposition of the two skills of "Five Sons Concentric" and "Sage Seeking", Bai Qi's commander can definitely surpass Han Xin.
"Five Sons of One Heart" will add 1 point of command attribute to the general when someone other than one of the Five Sons serves as the leader.
‘Sage seeking’, when Zhang Liang serves as military advisor, will increase the general’s command by 1 to 3 points based on the general’s command and intelligence.
‘Five Sons of the Same Heart’ and ‘Seeking Saints’ together brought Bai Qi a 3-point increase in command, which suddenly increased Bai Qi’s command to 109, instantly overtaking Han Xin.
Commander 109 Bai Qi vs Commander 108 Han Xin
Although Bai Qi's commander-in-chief is only slightly higher than Han Xin, this alone is enough to widen the gap.
In addition, Guo Jia's "Ghost Talent" can improve Bai Qi's intelligence, and "Heavenly Jealousy" can reduce the intelligence of the enemy general. Under the influence of one and the other, and with the assistance of two top strategists, Bai Qi is in a strategic position.
He will definitely not be weaker than Han Xin in terms of performance.
Therefore, even after Han Xin took over the military power, the Qin army could still advance vigorously under the command of Bai Qi.
Of course, Han Xin, who commanded 108, could not be defeated after all. Although he could not reverse the situation or even defeat the Qin army, he could still maintain an undefeated victory.
"My lord, the war situation in Jizhou has now been divided into three groups. Han Xin led an army of 200,000 to guard the front line of Yecheng, facing off against the 280,000 army of Governor Bai Qi.
Lian Po led an army of 100,000 men to guard the Bohai Sea line, and faced General Su Dingfang with an army of 150,000 men.
Wei Qing led an army of 100,000 to guard Dai County, and General Huo Qubing's 70,000 cavalry faced off." Liu Bowen reported.
The three-point battle in Jizhou is naturally the order of the game between Bai Qi and Han Xin.
Bai Qi saw that there were not many gaps in the defense of the Northern Han coalition forces, and a forced decisive battle would probably hurt both sides. At this moment, Zhang Liang suggested that instead of just focusing on Yecheng in Wei County, he could divide his troops to attack areas where the enemy's defenses were weak.
Bai Qi adopted Zhang Liang's strategy and sent Su Dingfang to lead an army of 150,000 men. They marched from Julu, where the enemy was weak, and then detoured to the enemy's rear, completely eliminating the connection between Yecheng and the Bohai Sea, and allowing Yecheng to
It was reduced to an isolated city.
Han Xin discovered Bai Qi's intention immediately, so he immediately sent Lian Po to lead an army of 100,000 people, quickly circled back from the rear, and blocked Su Dingfang at the junction of Julu before Su Dingfang's army could advance out of Julu.
Lian Po was experienced in using troops and did not fight with Su Dingfang. He only wanted to defend. Su Dingfang was unable to do anything to him in a short time. The soldiers and horses along the way were in a stalemate for a while.
Zhang Liao's plan failed, so Guo Jia tried another one and sent his cavalry to bypass Huguan and enter Bingzhou. Then they went north to Yanmen and attacked Daijun through Yanmen.
Daijun is the gateway to the west of Youzhou and the northern gate of Jizhou. Therefore, as long as Daijun can be captured, one can go directly to Zhuojun, the capital of the Northern Han Dynasty, in the east, and completely cut off the connection between Jizhou and Youzhou in the south.
Bai Qi adopted Guo Jia's strategy and sent Huo Qubing, who was best at cavalry warfare, to lead 70,000 cavalry around Bingzhou to attack Dai County.
Seventy thousand Qin cavalry left the camp. Naturally, such a big movement could not be concealed from the enemy.
Han Xin summoned Tian Feng, Jushou, Xun Kan, Huo Guang and many other wise men to discuss continuously for a day and night, and finally determined the Qin army's goal.
Immediately, Han Xin quickly sent Wei Qing to lead an army of 100,000 people and rush north to Daijun. He did not want to defeat Huo Qubing, but just wanted to keep Huo Qubing out of Daijun and prevent the Qin army from attacking Youzhou.
Before Wei Qing could enter Daijun, he detoured thousands of miles to Huo Qubing and attacked Feihuxing, one of the Eighth Routes of Taihang. From then on, Daijun was completely exposed to Huo Qubing's iron hoof.
The eight counties of Taihang are: Jundu Xing, Puyin Xing, Feihu Xing, Jingxing, Fukou Xing, Baixing, Taihang Xing, and Zhiguan Xing.
Xing is the place where the mountains are interrupted, and there are many east-west lateral valleys in the Taihang Mountains.
Taihang Baxing is the eight throat passages that connect the three states of Hebei and You through the Taihang Mountains. They are also the location of important military passes on the borders of the three states.
Due to Can Ming's surrender to Qin, as soon as Huguan was obtained, the southern Sanxing was already in the hands of the Qin army. The western gate of Jizhou was completely opened to the Qin army, so the Qin army could have such a huge advantage in the early stages of the war.
Later, under Bai Qi's operation, Jingxing and Fukouxing in the central part were also captured by Zhang Liao and Huo Qubing respectively. In addition, Huo Qubing captured Feihuxing. The Qin army had captured six of the eight passes in Taihang, and was basically in a position to advance.
A position that can be defended by attack or retreat.
The guard general of Daijun was Zhou Yafu, a famous general in Youzhou. When he learned that Huo Qubing was leading an invading army, he personally went to the city to defend the city. It was with Zhou Yafu's persistence that Daijun finally waited for Wei Qing's reinforcements.
When Huo Qubing saw Wei Qing's reinforcements coming, he neither continued to attack the city nor rushed to a decisive battle with Wei Qing. Instead, he wandered outside Dai County, but looked like he would pounce on him at any time and take a bite. Obviously, he wanted to steal Wei Qing's 100,000 yuan.
The army was dragging them hard in Daijun.
Yes, Han Xin still fell into Bai Qi's conspiracy. His continuous division of troops seemed to ensure the safety of both wings, but it weakened the strength of the Chinese army and increased the pressure faced by the entire army.
