Chapter 2616: Li Han joins forces in Nanzheng offensive and defensive battle

Li Jing let Wang Jian and Han Xin stay in Xicheng because he wanted to use himself as a bait to lure the Shu army out of Nanzheng City. After all, if Han Xin's troops came, it would be even more impossible for the Shu Han defenders to leave the station.

The result was exactly the opposite of what Li Jing expected. Although enemy troops were drawn, they were all cannon fodder.

The bait tactics failed. Naturally, Wang Jian and Han Xin did not need to stay in Xicheng. After receiving the order from Li Jing, they immediately rushed to the front line. However, there were still some troubles to deal with, that is, the Wubao scattered all over Hanzhong changed their camp .

Before Li Jing thought that Nanzheng could be defeated in a short period of time, then Hanzhong counties and these Wubao and camps would naturally not continue to resist, but he did not expect Shuhan to come up with such a sinister and sinister strategy.

If you continue to keep these castles, it will inevitably leave some hidden dangers, so it is best to clear them as soon as possible.

With a force of less than 10,000 troops, Li Jing's troops were facing [-] to [-] Shu troops and [-]+ recruits. Naturally, they didn't have the energy to divide the troops to fight, so this task could only be handed over to Han Xin and Wang Jian.

After Wang Jian and Han Xin joined forces, the total strength was nearly [-]. Han Xin led [-] troops, and Wang Jian and Wenpin each led [-] troops.

Han Xin, who was in the middle, encountered the most Wubao on the way, but most of them surrendered voluntarily.

As for the stubborn resistance in the north and the south, Wubao, which has been reluctant to surrender, can only let Wang Jian and Wen Ping go to crusade one by one. Anyway, these fortifications will not cause much harm to the Qin army, but it will take a long time to clear them one by one. It's only time.

Han Xin easily cleaned up most of the Wubao in the middle, and the rest was naturally handed over to Wang Jian and Wenpin, but when he arrived at the Nanzheng front line, he saw that there were still many people on the front line.

Some of these people were happy, crying and laughing while hugging their relatives, as if they were reborn after a catastrophe.

But a little bit sad, crying hysterically, as if his own father and son had died.

What's more, they even insulted the Qin army and attacked the soldiers of the Qin army.

One Qin soldier was caught by the old woman. Although he was extremely angry and aggrieved, he still held back and did not fight back until several soldiers rushed up and dragged the old woman away and locked him up.

Seeing that the white-haired old woman was being dragged away by Qin soldiers on both sides, Han Xin was still hysterically scolding Qin Jun, and he couldn't help frowning and asked, "What's going on?"

"Hey."

Li Jing, who came to greet him in person, sighed and said, "Her son was forcibly recruited by the Shu army, and then died in the battle with our army, and she blamed the death of her son on our army. It is believed that our army killed her son."

"Hmph, that's ridiculous."

After Han Xin snorted coldly, he said lightly, "Her son was recruited by the Shu army and died as cannon fodder by the Shu army, so we can't let our soldiers not resist, right?

Moreover, the people of the four counties in Xicheng, Anyang, can only live by the supply of food from our army. Our army has saved lives for the people of these four counties. Even if we are not grateful, we should not resent our army. "

Li Jing smiled bitterly when he heard the words: "That's right, but how can ordinary people have such a consciousness, they only know that their husbands and sons died at the hands of our army, which is enough to make them hate me The army is gone, and the others are completely ignored."

Hearing what Li Jing said, Han Xin was at a loss for words.

Li Jing looked at the people who hugged and wept bitterly after reuniting with their families, and couldn't help but flash a touch of relief in his heart. At least these people's hearts were towards Qin Jun.

Eighteen thousand Qingzhuang died in the four counties of Xicheng, Anyang, but sixteen thousand were captured, and after releasing all these people, it was equivalent to saving [-] families.

Families with dead relatives would hate Qin Jun, but those families who were released after being captured by Qin Jun would also be grateful to Qin Jun, and even more grateful to Qin Jun.

These people can play down the hatred and resistance of the Hanzhong people to the Qin army.

Li Jing walked up to the soldier whose face was scratched. Under the excited and puzzled gaze of the other party, he patted him on the shoulder and asked, "Are you aggrieved?"

The soldier immediately stood at attention and shouted loudly: "Don't hold back, Li Yuan, corporal chief, always keep in mind His Majesty's teachings and the military regulations of Daqin. I, Daqin, are people-oriented, and don't take people's needles, no matter how they abuse them, as long as they don't first If you do it, you will never be allowed to do anything against the people.”

"Well said, as expected of my Li Jing's soldier."

Li Jing showed a relieved smile.

The people in Hanzhong not far away, after hearing the conversation between Li Jing and the soldiers, their family members were still alive with admiration.

As for the people whose relatives died, although some of them fell silent, more people still hated Qin Jun.

Along the way, after learning all the current information from Li Jing, Han Xin couldn't help sighing: "Brother Li, you kicked the steel plate this time. Even if Hanzhong can be defeated, your Yongliang Army will probably bleed heavily."

Li Jing heard the bitterness on his face even more. Who said it wasn't? According to his original plan, although the cost of capturing Hanzhong County was high, it was still within the acceptable range.

However, Shu Han dragged all the light and strong in Hanzhong into the battlefield. The iron plate of Hanzhong evolved into a steel plate in an instant, and the Qin army must pay a greater price than before.

But who would have thought that Liu Yu would be so ruthless, and the lives of 10,000+ people in Hanzhong would be cannon fodder if they were said to be cannon fodder.

"Brother Han, Shu Han's poisonous scheme is not seamless, and Nanzheng City is the only breakthrough."

Hearing Li Jing's words, Han Xin nodded in agreement.

Shuhan can give up all the cities, but only Nanzheng City cannot be abandoned. After all, giving up Nanzheng means giving up Hanzhong, and the battle to break Nanzheng over Hanzhong will naturally end.

But now there are still [-] Shu troops in Nanzheng City, and nearly [-] recruits composed of Qingzhuang. Han Xin's full support will do.

"I beg Brother Han to fully support Li in breaking this city."

Li Jing said with a pleading expression, keeping his posture extremely low, but Han Xin fell silent after hearing it.

First of all, Han Xin belongs to the Jingzhou Military Region and is not an interest group with Li Jing.

In fact, for the Jingzhou Military Region, if Li Jing captured Hanzhong, the Jingzhou Military Region would not only get no benefit, but would have to hand over the jurisdiction of Shangyong and Xicheng counties.

After all, if Shu is to be destroyed in the future, the Yongliang Army will definitely be the main force, and the three Hanzhong counties are close to Kansai, so they will definitely be under the jurisdiction of the Yongliang Army.

Therefore, it is very interesting that the Jingzhou army can send troops to help this time. After all, it doesn't matter to them if Li Jing loses, but if they win the Jingzhou army, they will lose the tax land of two counties.

All the generals in Jingzhou, including Han Xin, originally thought that when they entered Hanzhong this time, they were just making soy sauce and giving Li Jingzhuang their momentum.

But looking at Li Jing's posture now, it is obvious that he wants the Jingzhou army to work hard to help the Yongliang army win this battle regardless of casualties.

From the perspective of the Jingzhou Army, it does seem that Li Jing is a little too unkind.

As the deputy governor of Jingzhou, Han Xin's position in the Jingzhou army was second only to that of the governor Xue Rengui, so he naturally had to consider the interests of the Jingzhou army as a whole.

Seeing that Han Xin was silent, Li Jing suddenly thumped in his heart, thinking that Han Xin didn't want to go into this muddy water, but he didn't blame Han Xin in his heart.

After all, this matter had nothing to do with the Jingzhou army in the first place, but it was indeed a bit unkind to drag the Jingzhou army in by himself.

Before Li Jing was angry with Zhang Yi for plotting against himself, but now he also plots against Han Xin, Han Xin didn't blame him for being generous.

Li Jing regretted making the military order, but he said too much, and now he can't even get off the stage.

Han Xin was the only one who could help Li Jing to tide over the difficulties now, and Li Jing naturally couldn't let go of this last savior.

Li Jinggang was about to persuade him, but before he could say anything, Han Xin opened his mouth and said, "They are all soldiers of Daqin. Han Xin and the entire Jingzhou army will do their best to help Brother Li."

Li Jing couldn't help but be startled, Han Xin's help in the snow really touched him, and he said sincerely, "Brother Han Gao Yi, Li Jing is very grateful."

When the generals in Jingzhou saw that Han Xin had agreed to Li Jing, they were also a little anxious, and they made eye contact, trying to persuade Han Xin to take back his life.

Seeing that Han Xin was ignoring him, Zheng Lun stood up to prepare, but he was stopped by Han Xin's eyes before he said the word 'dudu'.

There are two reasons why Han Xinhui will try his best to help Li Jing:

First, in order to win Hanzhong, Da Qin has already paid a huge price. The court and the emperor are looking forward to winning Hanzhong quickly. If the Jingzhou army loses its chains at this time, it will definitely cause His Majesty the emperor's dissatisfaction.

The second is because of Li Jing's whole person.

You must know that even the great general Bai Qi is only the governor of Jizhou, while Li Jing is the governor of Yongliang and Liangzhou, which shows that His Majesty trusts and attaches great importance to Li Jing.

At present, Li Jing has already achieved the victory of destroying Tang Dynasty. If Hanzhong can be captured in this battle, there is a high probability that he will be the coach of destroying Sui and Shu in the future, so Li Jing in the future can really threaten Baiqi, the No. 1 military.

Han Xin knew that Li Jing was a gentleman, and with his current status, if he hadn't really been pushed, he would definitely not have come to beg him.And at this time, sending charcoal to Li Jing in the snow can definitely reap Li Jing's gratitude.

Although Han Xin's politics is not high, his intelligence is very high, and the friendship of the second person in the Daqin military is obviously still very important to him.

Although Li Jing had Han Xin's full support, he still had several problems to solve in order to defeat Nanzheng. The most important one was the food and grass problem.

Five counties including Anyang, Xicheng, and Chenggu, with nearly two dozen people, had to rely on the Qin army to provide food before the autumn harvest, and it was obviously too much pressure to rely on Yongliang and Liangzhou alone.

After hearing what Li Jing said, Han Xin resolutely stated that he could use Shangyong's reserves for emergencies first, and if not enough, he could also transport grain from Nanyang to reduce the logistical pressure on Yongliang and Liangzhou.

After solving the problem of food and grass, Li Jing's next consideration was naturally to break down Nanzheng with all his strength.

In the battle of Yangping Pass, Yongliang Qin's army consumed too many siege materials and damaged too many siege equipment. Even if the craftsmen worked overtime to rush the system, they could not make up for it in a short time.

Even if Li Jing emptied the Yongliang warehouse, he could only collect [-] catapults.

Seeing this, Han Xin waved his hand and directly said that he had brought [-] catapults. In addition, Shangyong had [-] more available, and if it was not enough, he could transfer [-] from Jingzhou.

One thousand five hundred catapults, dedicated to attacking Nanzheng, were naturally enough.

Seeing that Han Xin was so grand, Li Jing couldn't help but sigh that Jingzhou's military was rich and powerful.

Don't look at the fact that the Jingzhou army only has half of Jingzhou in the north, but because it is the starting place of Daqin, it has been ruled by the Qin army for more than ten years. Even if the war continues, the development of the three aspects of industry, agriculture and commerce is more than that of Yongliang and Liangzhou combined. Be strong.

Just as Li Jing and Han Xin were preparing to attack Nanzheng, the Shu army dispatched [-] Qingzhuang recruits from Chenggu County to launch a 'suicide' attack on the Qin army again, and the Qin army passively counterattacked.

After a great battle, 1 cannon fodder from the Shu side died in battle and [-] were captured. They exhausted the [-] young men in Chenggu County, and only caused nearly [-] casualties to the Qin army.

However, if calculated, the Qin army has lost nearly [-] troops, and under the continuous high-intensity battles and the frantic attacks of Shu Han, the Qin army in Yongliang has also begun to get tired, and it is inevitable that the combat power and morale will be There has been a decline.

Li Jing knew that the time left for him was running out. Whether he could capture Nanzheng depended on the next fight. Otherwise, he would have to fight a war of attrition to wear down the Shu army a little bit, but he could only gain the hearts and minds of the people. Dilapidated Hanzhong that is difficult to belong to.
