Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2673 Xinling Lord Wei Wuji VS Bingxian Han Xin
Chapter 2669: Emperor Xinling Wei Wuji VS Bingxian Han Xin
Cao Cao ordered Cao Bin, who was born in the clan, to serve as the governor of Yingchuan, and led Cao GUI, Chen Gong, Xue Ju, Cao Wei, Xue Rengao, Xue Andu, Ji Ling, Yang Hong, Yuan Huan and other generals, as well as an army of [-] , guarding the seventeen counties of Yingchuan County.

The core of Yingchuan County today is naturally the former capital of Cao Wei, Xuchang City.

Like Jianye, the capital of Wu State, Xuchang was named Xu County before it was set as the capital of Cao Wei. It was also a small county with a population of only tens of thousands. At that time, the seat of Yingchuan County was actually Yangdi, which was more westward. city.

Cao Cao did not set the capital at Yangzhai, but set Xu County, a small county, as the capital and renamed it Xuchang. There are three reasons:
One is that Yangzhai City has been breached by Yellow Turbans many times, and the population loss is very serious, and it is not as prosperous as before.

The second is that Yangdi City is closer to Daqin than Xuchang, so it is very easy to be grasped.

The third is the geographical location of Xuchang, which is easier to radiate to the whole Yanzhou. At that time, Yanzhou was in the stage of melee among princes. If Xuchang was the capital, it would be more convenient to sweep the chaos in Yanzhou.

Cao Cao's construction of Xuchang is not as stable as Sun Jian's construction of Jianye.

Sun Jian relied on relocating refugees to grow and build a business little by little, while Cao Cao directly relocated several 10 people, making Xuchang the most populous city in the world.

After Cao Cao defeated Chuang Wang Li Zicheng, he took over one million people under his command, one-third of them were relocated to Xuchang, and the rest were scattered to various places in Yanzhou.

At that time, Yanzhou had become dilapidated due to the years of melee among the princes, and Cao Cao took over the mess and rebuilt the homes of the people on the ruins. In less than ten years, most of Yanzhou was restored. vitality.

If it weren't for the millions of people left to Cao Cao after Li Zicheng's death, Cao Cao would never have allowed Yanzhou to recover so quickly.

In today's Yanzhou, apart from Xuchang City, the five cities of Yangcheng, Lunshi, Kunyang, Jiaxian, and Yangdi are also extremely important.

Yangcheng and Lunshicheng guard the northwest of Yingchuan, blocking the Qin army from the two directions of Xuanyuan Pass and Dagu Pass respectively.

Jiaxian guarded the west of Yingchuan and blocked the Qin army in the direction of Guangchengguan.

Kunyang City guards the southwest of Yingchuan to block the Qin army in the direction of Nanyang.

Yangdi, the former prefecture, is the last line of defense in the west of Yingchuan. If Yangdi City fails, the Qin army from the northwest and west will drive straight in and reach the city of Xuchang.

Yingchuan is the county with the largest population and the most prosperous economy in Cao Wei. Once it is captured by the Qin army, Cao Wei's war potential will be greatly reduced, and the southwestern part of Chenliu will also be exposed to the Qin cavalry.

Therefore, for Cao Wei, defending Yingchuan County is also the key to the battle between Qin and Wei.

However, Yingchuan County borders Daqin on three sides, and it is still very difficult to defend it.

Cao Cao also expected such a day, so he has been strengthening the city defenses of Yangcheng, Lunshi, Kunyang, Jiaxian, and Yangdi. He also built a new pass between Songshan and Fuxishan, and named it Yansaka Pass.

After all, if the Qin army wanted to attack Xuchang, they would take the line of Yangcheng, Lunshicheng, and Yangzhai, which is the closest to Xuchang.

Laisan Pass is located in the east of Yangcheng and Lunshi, west of Yangdi City, between Songshan Mountain and Fuxi Mountain, and Cao Cao built this pass according to the standard of Hulao Pass, so it is even more dangerous. , is also the only checkpoint in the west of Wei State that can be used to resist the invasion of the Qin army.

Cao Cao spent a lot of resources to build the Yansan Pass, but what Cao Cao didn't know was that he built the Yansan Pass very well.

After Ying Hao learned that Laisan Pass was so dangerous and not easy to attack, he would rather go around Guangcheng Pass than Xuanyuan Pass and Dagu Pass, which made Cao Wei do nothing at Laisan Pass. So much preparation.

Cao Cao didn't know about this, but even if he knew, he still wouldn't regret it. After all, it also avoided fighting on two fronts, and he could hit the troops to defend Jiaxian to guard against the Qin army on the front line of Guangcheng Pass in the west.

Although Cao Bin knew that the Qin army would attack Yingchuan in two ways, he didn't know which way the Qin army would go. After all, Xuanyuan Pass, Dagu Pass, Guangcheng Pass, and Ye County could all be Qin's troops. The main attack direction, so the four directions must be fortified at the beginning of the war.

However, Cao GUI proposed to focus on deploying defenses against Kunyang. After all, among the four routes, the Qin army must come from Jingzhou all the way, and Kunyang is the only way to enter Yingchuan from Jingzhou.

Cao Bin felt that Cao GUI's words were very reasonable, and decisively decided to send more troops to Xue Ju, who was guarding Kunyang, but before the troops could be dispatched, he received the news that Han Xin's [-] troops had unexpectedly attacked Kunyang.

Whether it was Cao Bin, Cao GUI, or Chen Gong, they all thought that even if Han Xin attacked, it would only come from Ye County, so they concentrated their hands on the direction of Ye County.

As expected by the three of them, the Qin army in Jingzhou was indeed gathering in Ye County, but it was possible that the troops were not fully in place, so they remained stationed in Ye County.

But in fact, what the three of them can think of, can Han Xin, who is a soldier, not think of it?

He deliberately let the army gather in Ye County in a grandiose manner, and let the [-] army pretend to be the entire [-] army, but in fact he had already led the [-] army, rushed across the mountains to Ji County, and launched a surprise attack on Kunyang City from the west .

Xue Ju, who was in charge of guarding Kunyang, always thought that the Qin army would come from the south, but never thought that the Qin army would come from the west. He didn't have much defense at all, so he was caught off guard for a while.

More than a dozen Wu Forts to the west of Kunyang were all destroyed by Han Xin in just one day, and the Qin army easily attacked the city of Kunyang.

Han Xin originally wanted to surrender the army, pretending to be the retreating Wei army, in order to fraudulently open the gate of Kunyang.

However, Xue Ju, the guard of Kunyang City, was a veteran who had become famous during the Yellow Turban period. After he failed to rebel against Zhu Di and was forced to vote for Wei, he has not been abandoned these years, but has improved a lot in the three Central Plains Wars.

如今薛举的五维：统帅95（+1），武力105（+3），智力80（+2），政治78（+3），魅力80（-1）；
Xue Ju is not low in terms of commander in chief or intelligence, so it is naturally impossible to be deceived so easily. After seeing through the fake identities, he decisively ordered all the fakers to be shot and killed.

Han Xin saw that it was impossible to deceive the door, so he decisively ordered to attack the city, and the offensive and defensive battle of Kunyang began.

Xue Ju led [-] Wei troops to defend Kunyang to the death, while Han Xin led [-] Qin troops to storm Kunyang, and [-] troops were on their way to the rear.

Han Xin actually didn't like to fight siege battles, because the casualties in any siege would definitely not be small. He also thought that if he couldn't take Kunyang directly, he would bypass Kunyang and go straight to Xuchang.

However, Cao Wei's determination to fight against Qin was much greater than that of Zhao Song. He even implemented a strong wall to clear the fields, confiscated all the grain and grass in the hands of the people, and uniformly distributed rations to prevent the Qin army from collecting grain on the spot in Wei.

The reason why Xue Rengui dared to lead [-] cavalry to bypass Tongbai Mountain guarded by Shi Bao and go straight into Runan County was because Zhao Song did not fortify the wall and clear the country.

After entering Runan, the cavalry of the Qin Army can use battles to support wars and collect food on the spot, so there is no need to worry about food shortages.

But this method of warfare could not be used in Cao Wei, because Cao Wei's strategy of fortifying the walls and clearing the wilderness left only rations in the hands of the people.

If Han Xin bypassed Kunyang and went straight to Xuchang, if he couldn't break the city in one battle, he would soon fall into a situation of food shortage. Even if he forcibly collected food on the spot regardless of the people's will, the food and grass in the hands of the people would not be enough for the Qin army to consume.

Cao Wei actually wished that Da Qin would forcibly requisition food regardless of the life and death of the people of Wei State. After all, Cao Wei was not so popular with the local people.

Although Yanzhou was able to recover in such a short period of time because of Cao Cao, it was only a recovery. The people at the bottom were not doing well, and in the final analysis, the burden of military service in Wei State was too heavy.

More than 400 million people have to support an army of 33. The people at the bottom of Wei State are overwhelmed by the burden of the army. They are limited to the extent of living but not starving to death. How can they support Cao Wei?

In addition to military service, the state of Wei once fell into a food shortage situation due to drought, and it was only through the food shortage with the help of Daqin grain and grass.

Cao Cao was afraid of Daqin, so naturally he would not publicize it to the outside world. The food was assisted by Daqin, but Daqin would not stop publicizing it.

The people of Wei State did not starve to death because they ate the food from Daqin, so they were naturally grateful to Daqin.

Therefore, many people in the state of Wei do not think that Daqin is an invader, and they even wish that the state of Wei would be destroyed by Daqin, so that they can be freed from the heavy military service.

Cao Wei's high-level officials hoped that Da Qin would forcibly collect grain regardless of the life and death of the people, just to arouse the hatred of the people of Wei State towards the Qin army.

Some people even proposed to pretend to be the Qin army, slaughter one or two small cities, and then blame Daqin, so as to arouse the hatred of the people of Wei State towards Daqin, but it was unanimously rejected by Cao Cao, Fan Li and other high-level officials.

It’s not that Cao Cao has a good heart. If it is really useful, with his unscrupulous character, he may not give it a try, but the Qin army has never carried out massacres. If it is not on Da Qin, it will be easy to expose yourself, and the gain will not be worth the loss.

Due to the problem of food roads, Han Xin had no way to go around and go straight to Xuchang, so he had to attack Kunyang honestly first, so taking advantage of the lack of preparation in Kunyang city, he concentrated his elite troops to attack Ximen.

Under Han Xin's precise command, less than an hour after the start of the battle, Qin general Mi Houwang led his team to attack the city wall, and took the opportunity to occupy positions for more Qin soldiers to climb up.

Xue Ju saw that all the people sent there were killed and retreated, and more and more Qin troops climbed the tower. He knew that there must be masters among the Qin troops.

If the opponent hadn't ascended the tower, Xue Ju could still rely on equipment to make the opponent retreat by focusing fire, but now that the opponent has ascended the city, it is not so easy to fight back.

Xue Ju decided to take action himself, and after handing over the command to Wei Wuji, he led his bodyguards to besiege and kill Mi Gaowang.

Wei Wuji, Lord Xinling of the State of Wei during the War Results period, together with Huang Xie, Lord Chunshen of the State of Chu, Tian Wen, Lord Mengchang of the State of Qi, and Zhao Sheng, Lord Pingyuan of the State of Zhao, were also known as the Four Princes of the Warring States Period.

Among the four sons of the Warring States Period, Huang Xie, who was the first to appear on the stage, was implanted as Huang Zu's son, and after Huang Zu died at the hands of Liu Xiu, he led Huang Zu's remnants to seek refuge in Daqin.

Zhao Sheng was implanted in the Song Dynasty, but unfortunately, he was crushed to death by a broken mast due to a violent storm during the battle of conquering the Japanese.

Tian Wen was implanted in the peasant family and is currently playing for the Shu Han, while Wei Wuji is the last person to appear.

Wei Wuji's commanding ability is not weak. After taking over the command from Xue Ju, he immediately stabilized the defense of Ximen and at the same time dispatched troops from the city gate.

Wei Wuji's decision was very correct. He may not be able to keep Kunyang. The key is not him, but Xue Ju's ability to repel Mi Houwang.

Both Xue Ju and Mi Houwang are the gods of war in Jiwu 105, but the difference is that Xue Ju is a historical figure, while Mi Houwang is a mythical figure.

Generally speaking, mythological characters are blessed by legends, and their comprehensive strength is stronger than historical figures, but there are also some individual cases, such as Xiang Yu and Li Cunxiao.

When Xue Ju Jiwu was 104, he dared to fight Guan Yu, the god of war at 105. Although he was defeated, he also retreated. Now he is also promoted to the god of war, and his strength is obviously stronger than that of the ordinary god of war.

The Ventilation Great Sage of the Seven Great Sages vs. the Western Qin Overlord, this battle is destined to be exciting and fierce, and it is obviously not so easy to decide the winner.
