Chapter 2672: Ying Hao sent troops to Jia County, Zhu Rong captured Ji Ling alive
【Peak Call of the Three Kingdoms】 【】
"Cao Jun in Kunyang City is listening. Your reinforcements have been wiped out by our army. Kunyang has been completely isolated and helpless. Those who know how to do it should surrender quickly, otherwise they will be destroyed physically and mentally."
Han Xin successfully ambushed two troops coming to aid Cao Cao, so he naturally wanted to spread the news to dampen the morale of the Wei army.
On the city tower, Xue Ju, Wei Wuji and others did not believe the Qin army's words at first, but when they saw Cao Shuang's body below, they no longer believed it.
"General Cao Shuang?"
Xue Ju had a look of astonishment on his face, obviously he did not expect that Cao Shuang, a hero of the Cao family, would die on the Yingchuan battlefield so quickly.
When Wei Wuji saw the defenders in the city and learned the news that Cao Shuang had died in battle and that Kunyang was encouraging helplessness, he was a little uneasy. After thinking about it for a while, he laughed loudly and said: "Han Xin, do you think you can find someone who looks like General Cao Shuang?"
Can a person disguise himself as General Cao Shuang?
General Cao Shuang is in Xuchang, how could he appear here? You can deceive others, but you cannot deceive a certain family."
After Zhu Hai heard what Wei Wuji said, he whispered: "Brother Wuji, General Cao Shuang is in Dingling City. When will he be in Xuchang..."
Before Zhu Hai finished speaking, Mao Sui covered his mouth.
"Shut up, Brother Zhu. Brother Wuji said this just to stabilize the morale of the army."
When Zhu Hai heard this, he immediately shut up and looked at the soldiers around him. Sure enough, the soldiers were much calmer and no longer as uneasy as before.
The point of Wei Wuji's words was not that of Cao Shuang, but that Kunyang was not alone, so naturally the defenders would not be so afraid.
"But isn't this self-deception?"
Xue Rengao muttered in a low voice, but his father Xue Ju glared at him fiercely, and immediately shut up and did not dare to say anything more.
"Xuchang is not too far from Kunyang, and Commander Cao Bin must be on the way to provide support." Xue Ju said solemnly.
Outside Kunyang City, Han Xin saw that Wei Wuji had stabilized the morale of the Wei army, and immediately asked to his left and right: "Who is this Wei Wuji? He seems to be extremely resentful of our army."
It is not difficult for Han Xin to see this. After all, the strength of Qin and Wei is very different. Except for the Cao family and Xiahou family, as well as Cao Cao's direct confidants, none of the Wei generals dared to offend the Qin Dynasty too much.
To prevent the Qin Dynasty from settling accounts in the future.
But what about this Wei Wuji? He didn't have to say it in person to appease the troops. He could have told Xue Ju about it, but he chose to do it by himself, as if he was eager to offend the Qin Dynasty.
"Reporting to the Governor, this Wei Wuji is a member of the Wei family in Yiyang, and is a brother of the Chu State general Wei Wentong." Gao Minghui reported.
"interesting."
A strange look flashed in Han Xin's eyes, and he said with a smile: "The younger brother of Chu general Wei Wentong is serving as an official in Wei State. Cao Cao dares to use a person of this kind of background?"
"Information says that Wei Wuji did not have a good relationship with Wei Wentong, but was closer to Wei Yan. Wei Yan died at the hands of Governor Yue Fei. Wei Wuji wanted to avenge his brother, so Cao Cao dared to reuse him." Gao Jue
said.
"Do you also believe this reason? It seems that although Liu Xiu was unable to intervene in the Central Plains because of his attack on Wu, he had already laid out chess pieces in the Central Plains in advance."
Han Xin looked like he had the pearl of wisdom in his hands, as if he believed that Wei Wuji was Liu Xiu's man. However, Cao Cao still dared to reuse Wei Wuji even though he knew this. Either Cao Wei had no one available, or he was intentionally introducing the influence of Chu State, or there was someone else.
The other back-up players didn't worry about Wei Wuji's backlash at all.

"Kunyang is strong and cannot be broken in a day. However, although our army was expecting the enemy ahead, it ambushed the Wei army in Xiangcheng and Dingling City and temporarily blocked Cao Wei's reinforcements from these two directions. However, it was difficult for them to encounter reinforcements blocking the direction of Xuchang.
.”
After saying that, Han Xin ordered: "Where is Chen Qi and Chen Lun?"
"The end will be here."
Chen Qi and Chen Lun stepped forward in response, while Han Xin said: "You two each led two thousand elite cavalry and set up various traps on the road leading to Xuchang to delay Cao Bin's advance and help us."
The army captured Kunyang to buy time.
"promise."
Chen Qi and Chen Lun immediately took orders and left.
"How long will it take for our 30,000 suspected soldiers in Ye County to reach Kunyang?" Han Xin asked.
"Informed to the Commander-in-Chief, General Qin Liang has led 30,000 troops from Ye County to the north and defeated the Wei army's first village and three fortresses within two days. It will take at most three days to reach the foot of Kunyang City."
Kunyang is the southwest gate of Yingchuan, and the main defense is Ye County, so naturally many Wuhan camps were set up to block the Qin army from the direction of Ye County.
However, Cao Bin, Xue Ju, and Wei Wuji did not expect that Han Xin did not send troops from Ye County in the southwest, but came from Falcon County in the west. They were caught off guard, so they were so passive.
The commotion caused by Han Xin in Kunyang was so great that it attracted all the attention of the Wei army and ignored the defense line of suburban counties in the west.
Among the three defense lines built by Cao Cao in Yingchuan, the northwest defense lines of Yangcheng and Lunshi City were the most dangerous because they were too close to Sizhou.
Next is Kunyang, who has to face the entire Qin army in Jingzhou.
On the contrary, the defense line in the western suburban counties is the safest, because it is the farthest route, and the probability of the Qin army advancing to Yingchuan is also the lowest.
However, because Cao Cao built Qiaoban Pass so well, if the Qin army took the northwest front line, it would definitely suffer greater casualties, so Yinghao would rather take the west line, which is farther away and the road is more difficult.
Ying Hao asked Zhang Liao to pretend to be himself and lead an army of 150,000 to the east from Hulao Pass. Under Zhang Liao's banner, he led 80,000 elite troops and 10,000 women's troops, a total of 90,000 troops, as well as Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, and Huang Zhong.
, Ma Chao, Dian Wei and other generals were preparing to send troops from Guangcheng Pass and attack Yingchuan from suburban counties.
As for the Detachment of Women, they were not originally scheduled to go into battle, but female generals such as Arthur, Fan Lihua, Hua Mulan, Deng Chanyu, Li Huamei, and Qin Yao collectively requested orders from Ying Hao to go into battle.
"Your Majesty, the sword has been hidden in the sheath. If it is not taken out of the sheath, it will only rust.
In the previous military exercises, the performance of the Detachment of Women was not bad, and its overall combat power was not inferior to that of the major regular armies. It was also a sharp sword for the Qin Dynasty.
Your Majesty, please use the Detachment of Women and don’t let the swords rust." Fan Lihua added.
"Please Your Majesty, please allow the Women's Army to join the battle." Arthur, Hua Mulan and other female generals asked in unison.
Ying Hao couldn't help but feel a headache when he saw this. After all, the Qin Dynasty was now prosperous and male soldiers were in short supply. There was really no need to let female soldiers go into battle.
Although Ying Hao was not allowed to use the women's army to fight, he had no idea of discarding these capable female generals. For example, Yin Shiniang, Hu Sanniang and other hot men were transferred to serve in various armies, and their military ranks were also the same.
Not low.

As for Arthur, Fan Lihua, Hua Mulan and other female generals, they were not transferred because they were deeply attached to the Detachment of Women, and they still served in the Detachment of Women.
Ying Hao wanted to refuse, but he couldn't dampen the enthusiasm of the female generals, so he had to look at Arthur for help, hoping that she could come forward to appease the female generals and change their minds, but this time Arthur chose to side with the Women's Army.
"If Your Majesty doesn't use the Detachment of Women, please cancel the designation of the Detachment of Women." Arthur sighed softly.
Seeing that the female generals didn't say anything after hearing this, they all obviously knew that Arthur would say this.
This also made Yinghao even more puzzled, so he asked: "Why is this?"
"The food, clothing, weapons and equipment of the 10,000 Detachment of Women are enough to support 20,000 regular troops, but the Detachment of Detachment is only used for ceremonial and security purposes. This has aroused the dissatisfaction of many courtiers, who feel that the existence of the Detachment of Detachment is in Tailangyuan.
.
The Detachment of Women also felt that after spending so much money on food and supplies, they were unable to shoulder the important responsibilities they wanted to fulfill. Even though our country, Da Qin, was rich all over the world, we should not waste resources like this.
That’s why I came here to ask your Majesty to fight. If Your Majesty doesn’t use the Detachment of Women, please revoke the designation of the Detachment of Detachment. Without the Detachment of Detachment, Great Qin can still have another 20,000 troops." Arthur cupped his fists and asked for orders.
Arthur, Fan Lihua and other female generals all threatened to revoke their designations. Even though Ying Hao was unwilling, he had to consider whether to revoke the designation of the Detachment of Women? Or let the Detachment of Women also participate in the war.
Although today's Detachment of Women has been laid off several times, older female soldiers have been retired and married, and new female soldiers have been recruited, the new recruits are also trained very hard, and the decline in combat effectiveness is not large. That's it.
It would indeed be a waste to cancel it.
Moreover, if the Detachment of Women is cancelled, how will Lieutenant General Arthur, Major Generals Fan Lihua and Hua Mulan, and generals such as Deng Chanyu, Li Huamei, and Qin Yao be placed?
If he were directly parachuted into another army to serve, I'm afraid it would impact the original command system and cause some turmoil.
As for forced retirement? That's even worse.
Arthur, Fan Lihua and other generals also knew this, so they always guarded the Detachment of Women and refused to leave, because the Detachment of Women was their root. If they left the Detachment of Women, other armies would be nothing but rootless droplets for them.
After some thought, Ying Hao believed that the Detachment of Women's Army could not be abolished, and agreed to the Detachment of Women's Army's request to fight.
"I have decided that this time the Detachment of Women will go with me to conquer Yingchuan."
Hearing Ying Hao's words, all the female generals were overjoyed and said in unison: "Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty."
After the female generals left, Yinghao left Arthur alone, threw him down, and said fiercely: "Wow, you didn't turn towards me just now."
Although Arthur is now a mother, he is still very shameless. He blushed and said, "The general will finally realize his mistake and leave it to His Majesty's disposal."
"This is what you said."
Ying Hao laughed a little maliciously, and then he pulled Arthur and started sparring, using many moves he had never used before.
Ying Hao's impromptu decision to let the Women's Army go into battle did not have much impact within Daqin. After all, the Women's Army had many military exploits and could indeed fight tough battles.

Zhu Rong was overjoyed when she learned that the Detachment of Women was about to go to war, because only the Detachment of Women would go to war, so she had a reason to go with him, so she also went to ask Ying Hao to fight.
Ying Hao and Zhu Rong have been together for more than a year. Although their relationship has improved by leaps and bounds, it is still a little bit different.
Ying Hao was worried that he had no reason to pierce this layer of window paper, but now Zhu Rong took the initiative to come to the door. Naturally, he would not let go of this good opportunity, and he graciously agreed to let Zhu Rong go out with the army.
In this way, Ying Hao led 80,000 troops and 10,000 women's troops, a total of 90,000 troops, as well as generals such as Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Arthur, and Zhu Rong, and set off from Luoyang all the way south.
After Ying Hao led his army to Yique Pass, he ordered Lu Bu and Qin Ji to lead 10,000 troops each, pretending to station at Xuanyuan Pass and Dagu Pass, pretending to attack Dayingchuan from the northwest.
But in fact, Ying Hao led an army of 60,000 people, marched day and night, and secretly sneaked into Guangcheng Pass.
When Han Xin fought with Xue Ju and Wei Wuji in Kunyang and attracted Cao Bin's attention, Ying Hao knew that the time had come for him to send troops, so he stopped hiding and the 60,000-strong army marched eastward from Guangcheng Pass and attacked Jiaxian County.
And go.
There is also an acropolis in Jiaxian County, originally named Yangyinli, but later renamed Yangyin City. It and Jiaxian County are at odds with each other. Its defender is Ji Ling, a former general under Yuan Shu.
Following Zhao Kuangyin's rebellion and Yuan Shu's defeat, all his forces were taken over by Zhao Kuangyin, but Ji Ling was unwilling to serve Zhao Kuangyin, so he led his remaining troops to join Cao Cao.
Cao Cao knew that Ji Ling was a loyal man, so he naturally entrusted him with important tasks, so the important task of guarding the city of Bangxian also fell on him.
Ji Ling is extremely conscientious and a qualified leader, but just like the Yuan family's foundation was usurped by the Zhao family, there are some things that he cannot change.
Ji Ling did not notice any trace of the Qin army. He went back to sleep after patrolling the city wall as usual. However, he had not slept for an hour when the whole city remembered the cry of killing.
"What's going on?"
Ji Ling didn't even have time to put on his armor. He picked up his weapons and went out to check the situation. He found that the Qin army had raided Yangyin City and had already entered the city, so he quickly organized troops to resist.
Before Ji Ling could rush to the city gate, he encountered a Qin army, and all of them were female soldiers.
"Is this the Women's Army of Great Qin?"
Ji Ling secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If other Qin troops invaded the city, it would be difficult to drive them out, but if they were a group of female soldiers, it would obviously be much easier.
Before Ji Ling could take action, a female general was killed among the Qin army.
The female general was wearing slim silver armor, riding a maroon horse, holding a broadsword, and wearing a red cloak. She was even more stunning in appearance.
"How brave, look at me, Ji Ling, coming to get you."
Ji Ling roared and rushed over, preparing to capture this female general and make her his eighth concubine.
"Ji Ling?"
Zhu Rong's eyes flashed with joy. She didn't expect that she was so lucky that she happened to bump into Ji Ling, the guard of Yangyin City.
nail……
After the two knives collided, a huge force came over. Ji Ling's expression suddenly changed. The big knife in his hand was completely out of control and flew away. He was beaten until he vomited blood and flew backwards from the horse.
Got out.

Ji Ling was also a veteran on the battlefield. In this situation, he didn't even care about his injuries and subconsciously prepared to get up.
But the next second, a big knife was placed on Ji Ling's neck, and the cold female general was looking at him with an indifferent expression, as if she were looking at a corpse.
