It is eighty miles north of Xincheng. It is surrounded by the river to the north and Xinzheng to the south. It can be said to be an important place in the north of Xinzheng.
Liu Yi, who led his soldiers and horses to march quickly to get here, failed to continue rushing to Xinzheng, even though Xinzheng was only 80 miles away.
"Ji Wuye, you fucking betray me." Sima Liu Yi, who reluctantly set up camp before the Qin army encircled him, looked at the Qin army encircling him from the east and west in the distance. He knew that he had been fooled.
What a loyal minister and good general, he is always a villain.
"I'm so stupid that I believed Ji Wuye's lies." Liu Yi held on to the railing on the observation deck with one hand and felt his body shaking.
He had made a plan with General Ji Wuye before, and he would lead his troops back to support Xinzheng, while Ji Wuye would lead his troops to block the pursuing Qin army.
Such a strategy was the best choice under the circumstances faced by the Korean army at that time. Ji Wuye's heroic behavior after insisting on staying behind made Liu Yi feel ashamed for a time. He only felt that he had been
I misunderstood General Ji Wuye.
General Ji Wuye may be a powerful minister, but this does not prevent him from being a loyal minister.
However, when he returned to Xinzheng with less than 50,000 soldiers and horses day and night, he had just crossed the river and nearly 70,000 Qin troops had already caught up with him. Ji Wuye's blockade seemed to only exist in a dream.
generally.
At this time, Liu Yina still didn't understand that he had been betrayed by Ji Wuye, and his troops and horses returning to support had become troops and horses chasing the Qin army from the front.
The reinforcements turned into blocking troops.
What's worse is that after several days of forced marches, the Korean army has become very well matched, and the terrain along the line of sight is really not conducive to defense.
If Ji Wuye had not tricked him, even if he had kept him as a force to block the Qin army, Liu Yi would have been confident enough to set up a defense before the Qin army attacked. Although he could not defeat the Qin army, it would be enough to hold on.
longer.
Nothing like this now, completely caught off guard and completely passive.
"Report, Lord Sima, a large number of Qin cavalry appeared thirty miles south, about 20,000 people." Following the military information brought back by the scouts, Liu Yi staggered, and he knew that he was finished.
The only thing that can be done now is to hold on for a longer period of time, or surrender?
Under the night, the cool breeze from the river blew away some of the summer heat, but at this time Liu Yi felt that his heart was extremely cold. It was not the weather that was cold, but his heart.
How many more days can this heart beat?
When the early morning sun broke through the horizon, the Qin army finally attacked.
At this time, Liu Yi's exhausted army of less than 50,000 men faced off against the nearly 100,000 Qin army.
Blood blooms by the river.
Xinzheng, Han Palace.
"What? The reinforcements were besieged in the river?" Han Wangan stood up from the throne in panic, the crown on his head shaking, just like his mood at this time.
"According to the spies' report, Master Sima led an army of 50,000 people back to Xinzheng to aid. They were overtaken by the Qin army on the south bank of the river. The remaining Qin army divided their forces and went forward. Now they have surrounded all of Master Sima's 50,000 Korean troops." A guard expressed his mood.
Said seriously.
"Where is the general? Where is the general? Doesn't he still have 50,000 troops under his command? Where are the others?" Han Wangan said in shock and anger.
"The general's soldiers and horses are missing. Perhaps they are surrounded by another Qin army." The guard replied cautiously.
"This?" Han Wangan felt his body soften and he fell down on the throne. All the sharp weapons in his body seemed to disappear in an instant.
At such a critical moment, they dared to divide their troops? Who is the bait? Han Wangan thought of a terrifying possibility. If that were the case, Liu Yi and the others would be dead.
At this time, when Han Wangan was 'missing' Ji Wuye, Ji Wuye was extremely relaxed.
"Hou Yihou, how long can Liu Yi last?" Ji Wuye said with a leisurely look, shaking the wine cup in his hand.
"If we fight to the death, maybe we can hold on for four or five days, right?" Bai Yifei said expressionlessly.
Although he was a participant in this conspiracy from beginning to end, it was only out of consideration of pros and cons. Seeing the Han army destroyed by the Qin army, in terms of self-esteem, it still made this man proud.
The arrogant Xueyihou has a deep grudge.
Unfortunately, adults can only consider the pros and cons.
"Do you think the Qin army can be trusted?" Ji Wuye thought of something crucial.
"The Qin army is not trustworthy, but this time, they have no intention to capture South Korea. This should be true." Bai Yifei said.
"For example, when Qin makes a deal, it is so frightening, but I have to say that the rewards are also huge." Ji Wuye said.
Ji Wuye betrayed Liu Yi and the 50,000 Korean troops under his command and allowed the Qin army to capture them. After the Qin army achieved its goal and occupied the thirteen cities in the northern border of South Korea, it would choose to withdraw. Ji Wuye
Not only could Ye save Xinzheng from the Qin army in this war, but he could also directly become the person with the most military power in South Korea in the future.
The South Korean general will be worthy of his title. In such a transaction, Ji Wuye has no reason to disagree. The comparison between the payment and the return in this transaction is really a very profitable business.
Although this transaction was not mentioned in the previous letter, Ji Wuye believed that he had figured out Qin Jun's next plan. All he had to do was to take advantage of the situation and maximize his own interests.
Ji Wuye believed that the Qin army would also cooperate with him because they had already got what they wanted.
"In the middle of May of the third year of the Qin Dynasty, the Qin army and the Korean army fought on the south bank of the river. After three days of bloody fighting, all 50,000 Korean troops were wiped out. Sima Liu Yi died for his country, and 8,000 Korean troops surrendered."
The Qin Army camp outside Xinzheng City.
Ying Zheng looked at the battle reports coming back from the front line and knew that his trip to South Korea was almost coming to an end. The set goals had been achieved, and the remaining unfinished items were dispensable.
After this battle, South Korea will fall into weakness. Even if it wants to recreate the Three Jin Alliance of the past, it will not have the conditions because its connection with Zhao will be completely cut off.
In the Korean court, the night force headed by Ji Wuye, who suffered the least losses in this war, will become the truly strongest force in the Korean court in the future. The situation in South Korea of strong ministers and weak kings will truly
form.
Now the last step is left to force Han Wangan to sign an alliance under the city.
While Han Wangan was trembling, the North Route Qin Army and the Middle Route Qin Army gathered at the foot of Xinzheng City. At this time, Ji Wuye had also led his troops to appear on the north bank of the river.
Ji Wuye did not dare to cross the river because he was also afraid of the Qin army. He was afraid that the Qin army would have too much appetite and would also like to swallow his fifty thousand soldiers and horses.
