The meeting hall is filled with various maps. The one hanging on the wall is a large map of Hebei, and the one on the table is a small map of the Zhongshan Kingdom. In addition, there are also more detailed maps of the terrain around Wanji City.
The map on the table was the most confusing. It was filled with arrows of various colors, intertwined with each other, like a pile of threads that had been ravaged by the most naughty naughty boy.
Qingzhou's top military and political officials, including Wang Yu, were gathered around the table, pointing and making various comments.
"Zilong's action is indeed reassuring." Wang Yu praised sincerely.
"A horseman can separate and combine, disperse and gather. He can travel for hundreds of miles and travel for thousands of miles. He comes and goes without interruption, so he is called the soldier of separation and combination." Tian Feng also quoted from scriptures and echoed: "Zi Longdan is bold and careful, and he will be able to carry out this task."
The two characters "Li and He" have been brought to the extreme. After this battle, he will definitely become famous all over the world. We, Qingzhou, will also have another general who can stand alone."
"Yuan Hao's words are wrong. Zilong has done this kind of thing more than once to become famous all over the world. How can it be surprising if he does it alone? I don't believe you haven't noticed that in the battle of Zhongshan, except for Wuji who fought in the first battle,
Apart from the battle to seize the city, the rest of the battle will be fought separately by Zilong and Wen Chang..."
Jia Xu pointed at Wuji City on the map and said with a smile: "Even in the battle of Wuji, they all went their own way. Wen Chang liked to take risks. He disguised himself to seize the city, which was undoubtedly his handiwork. He used bluffing to scare away the king's family.
, it must have been Zilong's idea to avoid a tragic street fight. The only thing that people can't think of is the Zhen family's way of taking action, haha, speaking of this, Xu Xian should congratulate the lord."
"It wasn't the military advisor who reminded me, but I almost forgot about it."
"Congratulations, lord, congratulations, lord, for winning consecutive battles and winning such a peerless beauty. This is a good sign."
The battle in Zhongshan is thousands of miles away, and Wang Yu will eventually have the ability to intervene, so what is happening now is not a military meeting, but a post-war summary, and the atmosphere is not serious in the first place. Jia Xu was the first to tease Wang Yu
, everyone knew that the latter had an easy-going temperament, and they all cheered and agreed, which made Wang Yu blush a little.
But having said that, the Zhen family’s trick is really amazing.
Zhen Mi has long been known for her compassion. She may not need to be warned in advance to let her go to the city wall to disrupt the situation. She just needs to be allowed to use it. Even if there is an eventuality, the Qingzhou army will fall short and fall into the city.
It is impossible for the Wang family to use this as an excuse to settle the score with the Zhen family.
And the connection between Zhen Mi and Liu He through Liu He's departure from Beijing for Youzhou is a very strong insurance. No matter how the war ends, his family will lose at most one daughter. The family will definitely be fine.
When it comes to being famous all over the world, the Zhen family is the biggest winner.
Not to mention other things, Zhen Mi's deeds when she climbed the city and overturned the three armies with a smile must have spread faster than Zhao Yun and Wei Yan's achievements in sweeping Zhongshan. This is the beauty effect. When it is fully exerted, famous generals have to step aside.
The only analogy in history that can be compared with this is probably the allusion of King You of Zhou smiling at the princes for praise. However, the one about Bao Si is a negative example, while Zhen Mi sympathizes with the hungry people. In terms of beauty, it may be difficult to distinguish between Xuan Yu and Xuan Yu, but
Morally, it is a matter of judgment.
After thinking about the mystery of this, Wang Yu became more and more impressed by the family's survival wisdom and foresight.
Of course, what is more profound is the appearance of Luo Shen.
"Lingbo takes a slight step, and the socks are dusty. The movement is impermanent, if it is dangerous, if it is safe. If it is difficult to advance and stop, if it is going, then it is returning. The eyes are turning and the essence is flowing, and the jade face is smooth..."
Thinking of the majestic city above, with arrows clustering in it, the beauty is like a flower, and the jade is as delicate as jade, Cao Zijian's famous sayings from time to time suddenly came to mind, and for a moment, Wang Yu was actually a little crazy.
"Lord?" Jia Xu was surprised when he found Wang Yu in a daze. Although he had a reputation as a romantic, he knew very well that his lord was not a lustful person. Obviously, for the daughter of the Zhen family, the lord
The level of attention is extra high. But it’s no wonder that such topical beauties are inherently more attractive than ordinary beauties.
"Ahem...it's okay, let's continue the discussion." Wang Yu realized that he had lost his composure, coughed twice to fool him, pointed at the map, and signaled everyone to continue discussing the battle situation.
Zhuge Liang was the youngest, but had the most upright attitude. As if he had not heard the pink topic just now, he said seriously: "Now Wuji, Jiumen, and Ancheng have been conquered, and the march to the west has been completed."
It was unimpeded, and this victory stimulated Yi Jing to a certain extent. On the other hand, General Gongming reported that the forward of the Taishan Army, led by General Guan, had arrived at Zhangwu, less than a hundred miles away from Piaoyujin..."
After a pause to give everyone a chance to think, Zhuge Liang asked: "Do you think we can start the next step?"
After conquering Wuji City, Zhao Yun did not rush to pursue the king's gate, nor did he stick to Wuji City to consolidate the results. Instead, he used Wuji's base to launch a lightning-fast attack on the surrounding areas.
The first targets were the nine gates guarding Wuji from the east and the west, and the two strongholds of Ancheng. Zhao Yun and Wei Yan divided their troops into two groups and captured some defeated soldiers to clear the way. With the help of the Zhen family's internal officers, they easily captured the two cities and annihilated them all.
garrison.
Immediately afterwards, using similar methods, either by intimidation or by force, in just three days, the horse hooves of the galloping cavalry trampled every inch of land along the Hutuo River, smashing to pieces the solid defense line carefully laid out by the Wangmen.
The cavalry was good at field battles and had poor siege ability. The Wangmen decisively abandoned Wanji City, but did not give up the hope of the war. But he did not expect that after the Zhen family set an example, the local power in Zhongshan would be as strong as the wind.
Like grass falling, they all fell towards Qingzhou.
As long as you hear the battle cry of the Gale Cavalry, there will be people in the city ready to move. When the Qingzhou Army launches an attack, someone will either open the city gate or take the initiative to attack the defenders. What the Gale Cavalry has to do is to supervise the powerful forces to eliminate the remaining enemies, and then quickly
Aim at the next target.
Under the lightning-like blow, many generals and commanders of the Wangmen Army were beaten to pieces without even receiving the news that powerful people had defected, leading to the fall of Wuji and other cities.
By this time, most of Wangmen's 30,000-strong army had been routed, while the 5,500-yuan troops under generals Zhao Yun and Wei Yan were still almost unscathed, and they had captured three times as many prisoners.
An ordinary general would either be satisfied with such a victory or feel uneasy about the existence of prisoners.
But Zhao Yun is brave, and Wei Yan is also a master who is willing to fight to the death without surprising anyone. The two of them did not even confiscate the weapons of the surrendering army. They just singled out and killed the direct line generals of the king's clan, and then appointed Zhen Dao as the chief general and led them
With a group of powerful local private soldiers, they joined forces and attacked Weichang City non-stop.
At this moment, Jiang Qi also got the news and hurried back to Wei Chang, where he joined forces with Wang Men and Jiao Chu to discuss the counterattack. As a result, before he could figure out the reason, he was shocked to hear the news of Zhao Yun's large-scale invasion.
The Wangmen were frightened and did not dare to fight. They advocated abandoning the Hutuo River defense line and conserving their strength to retreat to Lunu City. Under the blow of Zhao Yun's blitzkrieg, he had lost more than half of his troops, and now he only has a few thousand remaining soldiers.
, how dare you confront Zhao Yun head-on?
But Jiao Chu and Jiang Qi thought that Zhao Yun and Wei Yan were young and energetic, and had been dazzled by victory. They did not even surrender their troops, so they used them as a battle, and they could fight them in Wei Chang, thus turning the tide of the battle.
They formulated a plan. The three generals would lead the main force to defend Wei Chang City, and then send a secret letter to Yin Kai who was really determined, asking him to test the situation and copy the Qingzhou Army's flank and rear.
Yin Kai only has 3,000 soldiers and horses at his disposal, but among the 30,000 troops of the Wang Clan, 5,000 are stationed in Changshan. As long as Yin Kai takes control, they will be a force that cannot be underestimated.
Yin Kai doesn't need to take too many risks. He just needs to take advantage of Zhao Yun's main force to attack Wei Chang and take back Wuji City.
Without the food and grass in Wuji City, Zhao Yun could no longer maintain a foothold in Zhongshan and could only withdraw sadly. Although Wang Men and others suffered heavy losses, they were able to successfully repel the enemy.
Of course, Jiang Qi also considered that Zhao Yun might attack in the east and attack in the west, deliberately exposing his flank and rear, leading Yin Kai to attack, and then relying on the mobility of the cavalry to surprise Yin Kai.
But he believed that this was only a possibility and not certain to happen. Even if it did happen, it might not be a bad thing. Except for a small number of powerful private soldiers, Zhao Yun's army had all surrendered. As long as his main cavalry
If you leave, you can take advantage of the opportunity to launch an attack and snatch these surrendered troops back.
As long as he has the advantage in military strength, it doesn't matter even if Yin Kai is destroyed, he can just concentrate all his troops to attack Wuji. I don't believe that Zhao Yun will use his precious cavalry to defend the city, or start a battle with an enemy army several times his own.
His calculations were loud, but he forgot that his opponent was no ordinary person.
Zhao Yun's cavalry did attack Yin Kai, but not at the moment when the latter's troops arrived at Wuji City, but at the moment when Yin Kai had just completed his assembly and left Zhending City.
Before sending out troops, Yin Kai was not completely unprepared for a possible surprise attack on Zhao Yun, but he never expected that Zhao Yun would abandon the near and seek the far away, abandoning more than 10,000 surrendered troops and running to Zhending to attack him.
Yin Kai's troops had the upper hand in terms of numbers, but their combat power was far inferior, and they were attacked unexpectedly. They only lasted a stick of incense before the entire army collapsed.
Zhao Yun's formation killed Yin Kai, and Wei Yan easily captured Zhending City. After this battle, except for a small number of soldiers to maintain law and order, there was no organized Liu Yu army in Changshan.
When the news reached Wei Chang, the three generals of the Wang family were shocked. In fear, they finally decided to make a desperate move and immediately left the city to attack the army of surrendered soldiers who were still on the road.
The result, of course, was a tragedy.
Zhao Yun's Qingqi seemed to be everywhere. After defeating Yin Kai, they returned non-stop for reinforcements and arrived on the battlefield just in time before Wangmen's army confronted Zhen Dao's infantry. This time Wei Yan grabbed the jackpot and captured him alive.
After arriving at the king's gate, Zhao Yun picked up Jiang Qi with his spear and slashed Jiao Chu with his sword, wiping out the remaining troops of the three generals.
At this point, the king's army no longer existed, leaving only Zhang Nan's five thousand soldiers and horses guarding Lu Nu.
In fact, by the time Wang Yu received the report from Zhao Yun, Lunucheng should also be under the control of the Qingzhou Army. After Zhang Nan knew that the 40,000 troops in front were defeated, he was so frightened that his liver and gallbladder were broken. How could he dare to
Stubborn? Without waiting for Zhao Yun's troops to arrive, he directly led his troops to flee north, all the way to Daijun.
Because they were escaping too quickly, the retreat turned into a rout. Under the turmoil, Zhang Nan's entire army collapsed. There is no specific battle report yet, but even the most cautious Zhuge Liang did not think that Zhang Nan
What other effective threats can it pose?
It took less than twenty days from the time Zhao Yun left Gaotang to the complete defeat of Liu Yu's Western Route Army. Such a glorious victory would undoubtedly stimulate Gongsun Zan's nerves.
Therefore, what was placed on Wang Yu's desk along with Zhao Yun's military report was the news from Yi Jing that Gongsun Zan sent troops north to attack Jixian! This is exactly why Zhuge Liang's problem arose.
