Chapter 2251 Yang Jian VS Li Jing, six counties surrender to Qin

Chapter 2247: Yang Jian VS Li Jing, six counties descend to Qin

Inside the Lantian, the guard Yang Jian and the military advisor Sima Yi were discussing Li Jing's intentions intensely.

When he was at Gaoguan, the reason why Li Shimin didn't let Yang Jian be the guard, but chose Sima Yi, who had just joined him not long ago, was actually because Sima Yi built the Gaoguan Walled City by himself.

Sima Yi built Gaoguan with his own hands, and he also knows Gaoguan best, so he is naturally the best candidate for the guard.

Now that Yaoguan has fallen, and the Tang army retreats to Lantian, Sima Yi is no longer qualified to serve as the guard, and Yang Jian, whose credit and qualifications are far superior to Sima Yi's, is the best candidate.

The Tang army had a total of [-] defenders on the front line of Yaoguan in Lantian. The loss of Yaoguan once again lost nearly [-]. Today, there are still [-] defenders left under Lantian City.

With the [-] Tang troops defending against the [-] Qin troops, the pressure on Tang seemed to be less severe, but Yang Jian dared not be careless in the slightest.

After Yang Jian retreated into Gaoguan, he immediately ordered the whole city to be on alert to prevent the Qin army from sneaking or even night attacking, but he waited and waited until the Qin army took the initiative to attack.

But what Yang Jian didn't expect was still behind, Qin Jun was going to bypass Lantian, this was his intention to go straight to Chang'an without taking Lantian.

"Military advisor, Li Jing, as a famous general of his generation, and his subordinates are full of infantry, should understand the risk of going directly to Chang'an if he doesn't take Lantian, but why he still dares to do so?" Yang Jian asked puzzled.

After this period of running-in, Yang Jian has recognized Sima Yi's ability, and he is quite dependent on Sima Yi in all aspects.

Sima Yi frowned tightly and said, "There are only two possibilities for Li Jing to dare to do this.

One is that Li Jing has something to rely on, and he is not worried about running out of food at all, so he dared to bypass Lantian and go straight to Chang'an.

The second is that Li Jing has another plan, which seems to be to go straight to Chang'an, but the real intention is to force our army to fight. "

Yang Jian nodded. Apart from these two possibilities, he couldn't think of any other intentions.

"Report... Qi reported to the general, the military adviser, and the county magistrates of Baling and Duling counties that they surrendered without a fight and surrendered to Qin." The spies reported anxiously.

"what?"

Both Yang Jian and Sima Yi exclaimed.

Baling and Duling counties are both in the hinterland of Guanzhong, closer to Chang'an than Lantian. Although there are not many defenders in the city, there are still two to three thousand soldiers.

The most important thing is that the food in the county treasury was not burned, and now it all became the military food of the Qin army.

The food and grass in the warehouses in the surrendered county is definitely not enough to consume Li Jing's [-] troops, but it is still no problem to support it for a while. At worst, the people in Guanzhong are rich and every family has surplus food.

Yang Jian and Sima Yi looked at each other, and they could see the seriousness in each other's eyes. Now they finally knew why Li Jing was so confident. It turned out that he had instigated the magistrates of Baling and Ling counties, and they didn't worry about food shortages for the time being.

In Tang Dynasty and Qin Dynasty, the county magistrate is not the only one, but supervises and restrains each other with the county magistrate and county lieutenant.

It is impossible for the county magistrate to succeed in treason alone, so there are only two possibilities for the county magistrates of Baling and Duling to rebel successfully:

One is to kill the county magistrate and county lieutenant, and gather the entire county army together.

The second is that the county magistrate and county magistrate also rebelled together.

"No, Li Jing must not be allowed to leave the border of Lantian. Once Li Jing's army surrounds Chang'an, the lord's army will have no way to return to Chang'an. He must be stopped." Yang Jian said with a serious face.

Sima Yi remained silent.

They all knew Li Shimin's intention, which was to concentrate superior forces and swallow Huo Qubing's [-] cavalry first, but the situation in Guanzhong changed too fast.

Before Wuzhangyuan was successful, Fenglingdu was breached by Zhang Liao, and then Gao Pass was breached by Li Jing.

The two armies of Zhang Liao and Li Jing rushed into Guanzhong, which made Li Shimin's plan against Huo Qubing die halfway.

For Li Shimin now, the most important thing is not to solve Huo Qubing, but to retreat into Chang'an, otherwise, once he is surrounded by Huo Qubing, Lu Bu and Li Jing, he may not be able to retreat even if he wants to.

Looking at the chaotic Yang Jian, Sima Yi said, "General, it's better to be more cautious. I'm worried that this is Li Jing's strategy to lure the enemy. The real purpose is to go out of the city and fight the Qin army."

Yang Jian calmed down instantly, nodded, and quickly sent someone to confirm, but the news he received was that the two counties of Baling and Duling had really rebelled.

"Send troops and fight Li Jing to the death. Even if the entire army is wiped out, Li Jing cannot be allowed to approach Chang'an." Yang Jian gritted his teeth and ordered.

This time Sima Yi didn't stop it. After all, Chang'an was more important than Lantian. Any city could be lost, but Chang'an couldn't be lost.

Following Yang Jian's order, [-] Tang troops rushed out of Lantian in an orderly manner, and the sword pointed directly at Li Jing's [-] troops.

Thirty thousand against eighty thousand, in the eyes of most people, Yang Jian is looking for death, but even if he is a car with his arms, Yang Jian has to fight, because he has no choice at all.

Qin Jun, the big account of the Chinese army.

Listening to the reports of Bai Feng and Mo Ya below, the joy in Li Jing's heart was beyond words.

"So, not only Jingzhaoyin's Baling and Duling counties, Zuo Fengling's Suyi, Ya County, and Anling counties, and You Fufeng's Chongquan County, have already surrendered to our Great Qin?"

"That's right." Bai Feng nodded.

"Okay, well done, you have done a great job at the Black Ice Terrace." Li Jingxi said.

You know, the Qin Army's five armies came out together, and more than 20 troops fought for nearly a month, with 5 or [-] casualties, and only captured three counties of Shang County, Shangluo County, and Luo County, as well as Xiaoguan and Yao. Guan and Fenglingdu are just that.

But what about the Black Ice Terrace?Li Jing couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive about persuading the six counties in Guanzhong to surrender without sending out a single soldier.

"It's all thanks to the governor to break through the Yao Pass, otherwise these fools may not be able to make up their minds."

Mo Ya responded truthfully, after all, without Li Jing fighting on the front line, they would not be able to persuade those county magistrates even if they talked nonsense.

"Most of the officials under Li Shimin's command are descendants of aristocratic families. These people are not very loyal to Li Tang. Most people are still waiting and watching. As long as you can continue to win, I believe these people will take the initiative to surrender sooner or later."

After hearing Mo Ya's words, Li Jing smiled knowingly. With such and such words, the certainty of capturing Chang'an was increased by a few percent.

"By the way, does your Black Ice Platform have staff in Chang'an City?"

Li Jing asked expectantly, but it was tantamount to asking in vain.

Since the Black Ice Terrace had been laid out in Guanzhong early on, and his army could persuade six counties to surrender voluntarily as soon as they entered Guanzhong, how could it be possible not to deploy people in Chang'an?

"Chang'an is not only the capital of Li Tang, but also the stronghold of bad people. In the land of Guanzhong, especially Chang'an, the Black Ice Terrace is no match for bad people." Bai Feng said.
