Chapter 897: Han attacks Linji, frightens the world
Five days later, Xue County.
On the third day after Xiang An led his army to capture the East China Sea, he turned around and rushed towards the border of Xue County.
The deadline for the military order was coming soon, and he had to rush to Xue County as soon as possible.
Xiang Liang wants to arrange the next strategy there, which is related to the countermeasures against Zhanghan in the north of Heshui River. Xiang An must go and participate.
At the same time, the boundary of Wei State was Linji City.
...
It is a foregone conclusion that Qi Chu will aid Wei, but regarding the attitude of aiding Wei, the two sides are still very different.
The Qi State used almost all its available forces, and even Qi King Tian Dan Yujia personally went to Linji City to exchange cups with Wei Wang Jiu.
Song Yi, on the other hand, accompanied him at the table with a sad look on his face.
Who am I and why am I here?
Why would I, a gentle general, show up to support such a radical situation?
"General Song, it's your turn to toast." Wu Ju, who was sitting not far from Song Yi, reminded him softly.
Song Yi quickly raised his head and started toasting with a smile on his face.
For a time, the lights in Linji's palace were brightly lit and it was so joyful.
At this time, outside Linji City...
"Wei's own soldiers are stationed in the southeast of Linji, and the reinforcements from Qi and Chu are stationed in the northeast of Linji..." Zhang Han pressed one hand on the simple map and squinted his eyes.
"General, it's almost time to go to bed now, when will we move out?" Jin Qixiu squatted beside Zhang Han, his eyes filled with fire, which looked particularly bright in the dark night.
"No rush, wait another half an hour." Zhang Han narrowed his eyes and raised his hand to stop Jin Qixiu, "That Qi Wang Tian Dan just arrived in Linji today, and he will definitely have some exchanges with Wei Wang Jiu.
"
"We have been lying dormant before, just for this moment. They must have thought that I was staying in Xingyang, but they didn't expect that I have already led an army to ambush here." Zhang Han sneered, "So, losing
What will happen if the Three Kingdoms Allied Forces become wary?"
He looked at Jin Qixiu.
Jin Qixiu opened his mouth, but no words came out.
"These so-called 'Nobles of the Old Six Kingdoms' must know why alcohol is banned in the military, but now they are drinking and having fun with me watching from a distance due to lack of information..." Chapter
Han smiled disdainfully and said, "After all, they are just a mob, and they are not worthy of standing in front of me, Great Qin!"
Jin Qixiu nodded, with a mocking expression on his lips.
With just this quality, you also want to become the enemy of Da Qin?
Just wishful thinking.
Half an hour later, Zhang Han's troops took action.
Going around to the north, before the messenger could react, Zhang Han led the Qin army into the military camp of the three armies like lightning.
The drunken people in the palace were almost sobered by the fright, and hurriedly organized their troops to fight back against the sudden attack of Zhang Han, but——
How could the hastily integrated army resist Zhang Han's rapid and crazy attack?
Zhang Han led his men to break through the city gate of Linji and rushed into Linji City.
King Tian Dan of Qi, who led the army in battle, was almost the first one to come face to face with him. Before he could fight him, Zhang Han pierced his heart with a spear and threw him to the side of the road. Song Yi, who came to support him, fought with Zhang Han for forty times.
After the round, he was overthrown by a spear. Although he was not dead, he was immediately taken into custody. According to Zhang Han's habit of not keeping prisoners of war, he probably would not survive.
Wu Ju, an old retainer of the Xiang family and a strategist who lobbied the King of Wei, was also found in a corner by Jin Qixiu. After recognizing his identity, he slashed his chest with a sword.
But Wei Wangjiu, who hurriedly asked for help, chose to commit suicide in his palace after seeing that there was no hope of escape.
Overnight, the situation changed dramatically.
Zhang Han attacked Linji City at night. The King of Qi was killed, the King of Wei committed suicide, and the Chu general Song Yi who aided Wei was also killed. Except for a few generals who stayed outside the city, the military power of Linji City was almost completely destroyed by Zhang Han.
Total destruction.
The reputation of Great Qin and the fear of Great Qin were once again brought to the forefront of the Old Six Kingdoms by Zhang Han.
...
When the news from Linji came back, Xue County fell silent.
"...How many of our people escaped?" Xiang Liang asked Huang Xiaozhong with a serious face, a little aggrieved and a little angry.
"Back to the general, our people..." Huang Xiaozhong's face showed a hint of sadness, "Except for the more than 3,000 people led by Commander Jiang Chun who was stationed outside the city, everyone else...
Can’t come back.”
Xiang Liang was silent.
The other generals also fell silent.
Although he felt that aiding Wei was not advisable from the beginning, after carefully measuring the strength of the troops and telling Song Yi to run away if something happened, such a situation actually happened.
Are you going to lose to Na Qin again this time?
Bang!
Xiang Liang's hand slammed on the table, making a loud noise that woke up all the generals who were meditating.
"How unworthy is it to be timid before fighting!"
Xiang Liang's tiger eyes glared at everyone with power. The generals caught by Xiang Liang's gaze lowered their heads, except for three people.
Xiang Yu, Xiang An, and Liu Ji.
Xiang Yu's face showed the same solemnity and anger as Xiang Liang, Xiang An's face showed sadness and anger, only Liu Ji showed a trace of thinking and seriousness.
Everyone knows how powerful Zhang Han is, but if he wants to overthrow the Qin Dynasty and unify the world, Zhang Han is a stumbling block that must be eliminated.
"The Kingdom of Wei is gone, now we can fight westward." Xiang Liang's voice was cold, "Continue to advance according to the previous plan!"
"After the defense line is formed, he cannot break it!" Xiang Liang snorted coldly and knocked on the desk again, "Instead of thinking about how to avoid Zhang Han here, it is better to think more about how to survive against Zhang Han.
!”
"Do you really think you can avoid it? Or do you expect Zhang Han to accept the surrender?"
"snort!"
Xiang Liang didn't say anything more, stood up and left the room, leaving a group of generals who were either thinking or silent.
.......
Unlike Xi Chu's introspection and active response attitude, the capital of Qi State was already in chaos.
The fundamental situation of the Qi State and the Chu State are different. The Chu State only lost one general. Whether they are the mascot King Xiong Xin of Chu Huai or the real leader General Xiang Liang, they are still alive without any trouble.
The State of Qi directly took away its King of Qi in Linji City.
In panic, the scholar-bureaucrats of Qi State chose to establish a new king in order to avoid this situation of leaderlessness.
Therefore, before the first seven days of King Tian Dan of Qi arrived, the new King of Qi, Tian Jia, ascended the throne.
But all this is still unknown to Tian Rong, the biological brother of the former Qi King Tian Dan, who escaped from the battle of Linji and was returning with the remaining Qi army.
He was returning to Linzi, the country of Qi, in a sad and angry mood, preparing to assemble his army and launch his own revenge against Zhang Han.
