After the news of the defeat of the Shu army came out, all the princes were shocked. Of course, the defeat of the Shu army was not beyond the expectations of the various princes. After all, the Shu army first fought with the Han army for more than a few months, although they won the victory.
However, the losses were heavy. However, the Zhao army was replenishing its energy and suddenly attacked. The difference was still very big. With preparation and defense, an elite army against a tired army, it would be strange if the Zhao army could not win.
Although the victory was expected by all the princes, the Shu army was defeated so quickly and so simply, but the princes were greatly surprised. The Shu army fought against the Han army and fought directly for more than three months, especially the next two months.
, It can be said that it was a fierce battle, with both sides losing no less than 40,000 to 50,000 elite troops. However, the Zhao army suddenly rushed south, and within a month the Shu army suffered a complete defeat. Except for five or six hundred remaining soldiers and defeated generals in shame
Except for his escape to Yizhou, the rest were completely wiped out by Zhao's army.
The King of Hanzhong, who had just answered the answer, stood there for a while and didn't know what to say. He worked hard to fight the Shu army for three months, but all of them were cheaper than Zhao army. Of course, he was shocked at this moment.
And worrying, they were more happy and revenge-like excitement. You should know that this Hanzhong area was originally under his jurisdiction, but was attacked by the Shu army. Moreover, at that time, the Shu army and the Han army were still
The allies were betrayed and attacked by their allies. This kind of anger was definitely not small. Now, the Shu army, like him, worked hard for several months, but in the end it was cheaper to the Zhao army.
In comparison, the Shu army's experience was much more miserable than that of the King of Hanzhong. After all, he could not defend the Hanzhong land and was passively defending. At least, he still occupied the three eastern counties. In addition, he and
The Zhao army is also in a cooperative relationship now. However, for the Shu army, they were proactive attackers and wanted to seize the land of Hanzhong. However, they paid a huge price, but failed to get the targeted benefits, and were defeated by the Zhao army.
The losses were even greater than those of the Han army.
"Haha... Situ Che, you have today too? The consequences of betrayal are good. I want to make an idea about me. What's the point now? I have suffered heavy losses, so why don't you go back to Yizhou in shame?" On that day, King Situ Fei of Hanzhong held a banquet with his important officials under his command.
The banquet was held to celebrate the defeat of the Shu army in Yizhou. Situ Fei, who was drunk, kept mocking the Shu army and the Shu king Situ Che.[
Although the King of Hanzhong was very happy with the defeat of the Shu army, he also understood that the land of Hanzhong would never have the chance to get it back. It was a blessing to be able to protect the three eastern parts and protect the safety of the west side of Jingzhou.
After sobering up, Situ Fei did not continue to worry about the land of Hanzhong, or he had already given up on the land of Hanzhong. After all, he had already reached out to the land of Hanzhong, even though this place was his former jurisdiction.
"It's good, so next, let's concentrate on Jingzhou. I haven't been able to return for half a year. The impression of this king on this land of Jingzhou has begun to fade." The first thing I did was to summon important officials to join forces with the first thing I did was to
The Han army's goal was given, that is, the Han army would restore its strength in Jingzhou and develop its influence in Jingzhou.
Just as Situ Fei got the news from the Zhao army in Hanzhong, in Jingzhou, the influence of the Luo army has far exceeded that of the Han army, and the influence of the Luoyang king in Jingzhou is also far beyond that of the Hanzhong king. More importantly, the influence of the Luoyang king in Jingzhou is also far beyond that of the Hanzhong king.
What is, the current strength of the Luo Army has expanded to a point that makes him frightened. Not only that, even the forces that he stayed in Jingzhou in the past, in order to cooperate with the Luo Army to garrison and control the part of his rights, began to
After receiving the influence, many people had already begun to move closer to the Luo army before they returned, especially after the Han army was defeated in Hanzhong, this trend reached its maximum.
If it weren't for him, King Hanzhong, who returned from the Hanzhong land in time, reached a friendly agreement with the Zhao army, and obtained some of the armor and equipment and war horses from the Zhao army, I was afraid that the land of Jingzhou would have nothing to do with King Hanzhong and the Han army. Of course,
Among them, Luo Army and Luoyang King did not take the initiative to attack the Han army, but Luoyang King did not stop it. You should know that the Jingzhou area was originally owned by the two. In any case, Luoyang King should also understand the division of the two forces.
It should also be separated from the Han army. But in fact, the King of Luoyang watched the Han army collapse and began to turn to the Luo army. Of course, the most important thing is that there are people who teas the Han army from it.
The power of Jingzhou. This person doesn’t need to think too much about it, Situ Fei can be sure that it has something to do with the King of Luoyang.
Situ Fei was not wrong with this. The King of Luoyang did secretly tease the Han army and wanted to pull them down under his command. The reasons were nothing more than two points. One was that the Luo army is now expanding rapidly and its power surged. In Jingzhou,
The Luoyang King is no longer satisfied with only half. Although the two sides cooperate and occupy the land of Jingzhou together, if the strength of the other person is too far from that of him, the Luoyang King still needs to cooperate with the other party? It is better to occupy it yourself.
Another reason is that it is related to the Han army's defeat in Hanzhong. In the eyes of the King of Luoyang, the Han army suffered a great defeat and lost, and the King of Hanzhong insisted on fighting with the Shu army to the death in Hanzhong. That is, the Han army was defeated and lost.
, This Jingzhou land will naturally belong to the King of Luoyang in the future. Therefore, the King of Luoyang watched the Han army's forces in Jingzhou turn towards him, and secretly divided and attracted him.
However, the ruthlessness of the King of Hanzhong also surprised everyone. The Zhao army was in opposition to the Han army, and the Han army was able to retreat in time, which also surprised the whole people from Jingzhou. In the King of Hanzhong Situ Fei quickly
After returning to the western half of Jingzhou, he immediately rectified all the prefectures and counties under his rule. The officials and generals changed from top to bottom. Moreover, Jingzhou, which was originally stationed in the eastern region, was replaced by
All the defenders also withdrew all of them under the reason why the Hanzhong King wanted to recuperate and rectify the army.
When the King of Hanzhong and the King of Luoyang occupied Jingzhou together. Although they were combined together, in fact, both prefectures and counties accounted for half. Because the King of Hanzhong's original jurisdiction was in the western part of Jingzhou, the King of Hanzhong occupied the area occupied by Jingzhou.
Most of them are in the western part of Jingzhou. Most of the people are in the eastern part of the King of Luoyang.
Moreover, the King of Hanzhong has now drawn border guards from all over the country. Whether it is the eastern region to guard against the Qi army or the southern region of Qi army and Shu army, they all retracted and handed over the important defensive task to the Luo army. Even the current Luo army
, there is no excuse. Now, whether it is the Qi army or the Shu army, they are all at ease to report their thoughts to Jingzhou. The situation of their own jurisdiction is enough to make them worry. In addition, the Luo army is now very powerful and can be stationed in the border.
The Han army completely needs to provide its efforts. Of course, the most important thing is that the Han army is now in decline, and it is normal to restore its strength and rectify its army. Of course, more importantly, the Luo army attaches more importance to Jingzhou than the Han army.
The army can retreat, but the Luo army cannot.
The only thing that made King Situ Fei of Hanzhong feel a pity was that the Shu army was defeated too quickly. He originally wanted to rectify his internal situation, and when the Shu army and Zhao army started a war, he took advantage of the situation to go south and lead Wuling Prefecture in southwest Jingzhou.
He recovered it. But before he could prepare, the Shu army had been defeated by the Zhao army and returned. Almost all the troops were out of place, and even the reinforcements prepared in the future were not able to arrive in time.
If you lose the opportunity, you will come back again. However, Situ Fei did not have too much regret. For him, his foundation is the most important thing now. If you have strength in your hands, it doesn’t matter what you do. If you don’t have strength, then everything will be
Empty talk. The war in Hanzhong and the situation in Jingzhou made them see the importance of the foundation. Therefore, after paying a little attention to the situation in Hanzhong, he immediately buried his head in replying to himself. In addition, he also began to form a caravan and go north to Zhao
The country and the Zhao army started trade.
The King of Luoyang was also surprised that the King of Hanzhong led the crowd back and did not interfere with the battle situation in Hanzhong because of Zhao's army heading south. After thinking for a while, he just sighed secretly. As for what he sighed, only he himself knew.
Since then, after the King of Hanzhong returned, he also issued military orders that he should not easily have any conflicts with the Han army. In addition, he also provided the King of Hanzhong with a batch of food and supplies to support the Han army in reply.
Many of his ministers under their command had different opinions about the King of Luoyang doing this. In their opinion, the current Han army is not worth mentioning at all and is no longer enough to share the land of Jingzhou with their own side. At this moment, the Luo army can do it completely
Completely annex the Han army and monopolize the land of Jingzhou.
Luoyang King was not surprised at the view of his subordinates. In fact, let alone these generals, even the Luoyang King had never thought so? However, the left chief of his subordinates stopped him from thinking this way.
, and let him maintain the existence of the Han army. Situ Hao did not say much about the different opinions of his ministers at this moment, and directly asked Zuo Cheng Wang Dao to explain it to them.
"You think the king hasn't thought of this? But why do we help the King of Hanzhong, why do we help the Han army, instead of directly completely eliminating the Han army and occupying the entire Jingzhou? Is it only you who have seen the benefits of monopolizing Jingzhou?
?No, in fact, the king and I have thought of this. But why didn’t we do this? It’s not that we don’t want to do this, but that we can’t. Even now, we are still trying to completely eliminate the Han army.”
Cheng Wangdao said coldly.
Compared with civil officials, military generals hope to eliminate the Han army. At least, they should also sweep them out of Jingzhou. However, the Luo army monopolizes Jingzhou. With the current strength of the Luo army, it is not a difficult problem to eliminate the Han army.
Therefore, after hearing Wang Dao say this, Lin Zixun, the left general of Luo Army, retorted: "Sir Zuo Cheng, I don't agree with what you said before! With the current strength of our Luo Army, it is difficult to eliminate the Han Army.
No. Besides, the Han army lost a lot in Hanzhong, and had no prestige in Jingzhou. In the past six months, the king has become the lord of Jingzhou in the hearts of the people of Jingzhou. It is just right to occupy Jingzhou, and it is also
What the whole Jingzhou wants to see.”
Wang Dao said in a deep voice: "On the surface, it is indeed the case! But do you think the Zhao Congress in the north wants to see us occupy the entire Jingzhou? You know why the King of Hanzhong, who had never retreated before, gave up the Hanzhong war this time and immediately turned back.
Jingzhou? Do you know why the Zhao army provided the defeated Han army with armor and equipment and war horses to let them return to the western part of Jingzhou? That's because the Zhao army in the north did not want to see us occupy the entire Jingzhou."
"In other words, the Han army was able to let go of the war in Hanzhong this time and return to Jingzhou. In addition to their own defeat in the Zhao army and Shu army, the more the meaning of the Zhao army. According to our detailed rewards in the Han army,
The reason why the Hanzhong King was able to return immediately this time was because the envoy of the Han army had a secret talk with the commander of the Zhao army's Hanzhong, allowing the Hanzhong King to learn about our army's current strength in Jingzhou, and let the Hanzhong King know that our Luo army had occupied the land of Jingzhou.
With an absolute advantage, his Han army was in danger."[
"In terms of military strength, we can completely defeat the Han army and clear it out. But have you forgotten what happened in Hanzhong? The Han army and Shu army were defeated by the death, and the Hanzhong King suddenly turned the north
The Zhao army pulled in and asked the Shu army to fight against the Zhao army. In other words, the enemy would not have any of the things that the Hanzhong King could not get. If we attack the Han army, the Hanzhong King asked the Zhao army for aid.
How? What Zhao army lacks now is the reason to go to Jingzhou with legitimate reasons. Just so, if the King of Hanzhong invites him, it will be exactly the same as the Zhao army. In other words, not only will the trade between us and the Zhao army be cut off, but it will make us lose the people of Jingzhou.
The hearts of the merchants will even face attacks directly from the north and northeast of the Zhao army."
Seeing someone trying to speak, Wang Dao continued: "I know what you want to say, either the Zhao army is fighting with the Shu army at this moment, the eastern part is supporting the Jieyi army to fight with the Qi army, and the southern part of Yuezhou to fight with the Nanyang countries,
In the short term, Zhao Junli intervened. However, even if the Zhao army would not intervene directly or would not go south, it only needed to cut off my source of supplies and continuously support the Han army, send some elite teams to the south, and keep us going.
When confrontation with the Han army, when the Zhao army comes back to its senses, mobilize the army. Then what is the difference between our Luo army and the Shu army in the west?"
The simple words of Wang Dao immediately made the generals who still wanted to monopolize Jingzhou. They had thought about these problems before, but they had deliberately neglected them. But now
The fact that Wang Dao told them was really bad, which made them beat them up, making them seriously consider the situation in Jingzhou.
Indeed, for the Zhao army, they could tolerate the strength of Luo and Han army, but they could not tolerate Jingzhou being controlled and strong by any prince. Because Jingzhou is located next to Zhao army, they would not allow another one to appear beside them.
The powerful princes.
Wang Dao said again: "So, we are now helping the Han army so that the Hanzhong king will not be hostile to us. After all, instead of letting the Hanzhong king get too close to the Zhao army, it is better to continue to share Jingzhou with us. In terms of what happened, Zhao
The army is not only our great enemy, but also the great enemy of the Han army. Without any accidents, the Han army will still walk with us to jointly defend the Zhao army. What we need to do now is to be strong
Contact the Han army and beware of the Zhao army. Only when we are stronger will the Zhao army dare not go south casually and attack us directly."
"The reason why the King of Hanzhong accepted the food and supplies we provided was not undeniable to the Han army. Until now, we have not been hostile to the Han army. He, the King of Hanzhong, naturally, knew which one of us and the Zhao army was his real one.
enemy."
"In addition, now the Zhao army has defeated the Shu army, but with the character of King Situ Che of Shu, he would never let go like this. Therefore, the battle between the Shu army and the Zhao army will continue. The Shu army occupied me
Wuling Prefecture in the southwest of Jingzhou also has the opportunity to be recaptured by us and the Han army. In addition, the Qi army in the east is becoming more and more powerful. With the support of the Zhao army, the Qi army is already at ease with its western border. Similarly, the Qi army also occupied it.
This is the Jiangxia Mansion, which should belong to my Jingzhou, and this is also our opportunity to be strong. Instead of consuming strength to internal struggle, it is better to take advantage of the chaos and strengthen ourselves. Therefore, now we cannot have any conflicts with the Han army."
The King of Luoyang Situ Hao also explained in a deep voice: "What Zuo Cheng said before is what I want to say. From now on, our Luo army and the Han army are still allies. I also hope that you will remember that you will not have any relationship with the Han army.
Question. In addition, don’t underestimate the Han army because of their previous defeat in Hanzhong. After all, the Han army also caused heavy losses to the Luo army in Hanzhong. Of course, I don’t want our Luo army and the Han army to do so because
Some small problems have caused major changes, and we do not want the conflicts between us and the Han army to be exploited by the Zhao army."
After his subordinates left, King Situ Hao of Luoyang could not help but sigh: "The pressure on us by the Zhao army is getting stronger and stronger, and our Luo army is in the situation when it occupied Dong Yongzhou in the past."
Zuo Chengwang Dao smiled bitterly and said, "In fact, the Hanzhong king let the Zhao army enter the territory in this time because the Hanzhong king let the Zhao army enter the territory was wrong, and it was a bit too late. If the Hanzhong king could have brought the Zhao army in earlier, not only would the Han army not lose such a loss.
It's so big, and the Zhao army wouldn't defeat the Shu army so easily and occupy most of Hanzhong."
Situ Hao smiled bitterly and said, "You don't know Situ Fei's character. If it weren't forcing him, how could he do this? The significance of Hanzhong to the Han army is very critical. How could he give up easily? If it wasn't for it.
He won't be able to win against the Shu army, and he wouldn't let the Zhao army enter. However, you're right. If the Zhao army had been pulled in earlier, I'm afraid that the Shu army and the Zhao army would be much bigger now, and the Han Dynasty
The loss of the army will be much smaller. Alas... it's a pity..."
"But now, the Zhao army is fighting against the Shu army in Hanzhong, so our pressure will be much smaller, and it also gives us the opportunity to grow. Compared with the Shu army and the Qi army, we are still lucky!"
Situ Hao couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Lucky? Are you really lucky?"
