Chapter 792 Xie
"What did you say? Li Xu was beheaded by the bandits, [-] troops were defeated, and [-] grains were burned?" After listening to the scout's report, Jiang Bin had a look of incredulity, "Is this still a bandit?"

Zhong Hui's face sank.

Guo Dan bit his head and said: "The bandits first attacked and broke our camp, and then confronted our army, using cavalry to defeat them, my subordinates were really caught off guard..."

Wu Jun's combat power has always been a mystery.

When they thought it was weak, they often won unexpected victories. Ding Fengxue fought shortly, while Lu Kang defeated the strong with the weak, defeating Yang Zhao, Yang Hu, and Bu Chan in a row.

When he thought it was very strong, he accidentally pulled his hips. Zhuge Ke's 20 army failed to take down the Hefei New City guarded by 3000 people...

"You mean cavalry?" Zhong Hui's eyes lit up.

The refugees couldn't even eat enough to eat, so how could there be large-scale cavalry?

The geographical location of Yiyang is very critical. If there is a cavalry here, then move one step east, and the logistics supplies of the entire Wu army are within their attack range.

With more than 20 troops and more than [-] mouths, how terrible would it be to have no food?

Even if the supply of food and grass is not timely, it will cause a major disaster.

"Exactly, there are not only war horses, but also iron armor!" Guo Dan seemed to have found the reason for the defeat.

Zhong Hui laughed loudly, "So that's the case. I thought Yang Xingyun was upright, but I didn't expect that he would use such a method."

Only the Qin army can have such a cavalry in the Central Plains.

"This subordinate is willing to lead an army to wipe out the bandit army!" Jiang Bin begged for orders.

"No, the enemy has tens of thousands of people and [-] cavalry. It is very inappropriate for our army to divide our troops at this time. It is ordered that the food and grass should not go to Yiyang, but to go to Feishui, Huai River, and Yingshui, and rely on waterways to transport them."

"If so, I'm afraid there is not enough food and grass."

The waterways are all upstream, and the manpower needed is not as easy as road transportation, but there is no need to worry about being attacked by cavalry.

The year before last, Du Yu captured Xuchang and rewarded the soldiers with money and food from the treasury to help the people.

So although Wu Jun took Xuchang, he didn't get supplies.

Zhong Huidao: "I personally lobbied the Yingchuan gentry and got their support. At least three months of our army's food and grass will be safe."

"My subordinates don't understand, since Yang Zheng has already gone north to attack Yecheng, why should our army delay in Xuchang?" Shen Ying cupped her hands.

Zhong Hui pointed to the map and said: "Lu Qin refuses to defend Huaisi. If our army attacks it, the outcome is unpredictable. Even if we win, it will only be in the Huai River Basin!"

The defeat of Yiyang awakened Zhong Hui and fully realized Wu Jun's combat power.

When Zhuge Ke's 20 troops marched northward, they were blocked for several months, and Wu's great situation was in vain.

Chung will have to learn his lesson.

Moreover, only the original 20 units of his [-] army can really fight. Most of the other Wu troops are farmers and young adults called in temporarily, and Zhong Hui does not have much confidence.

The family knows their own affairs.

If the 20 troops don't fight, they can still bluff people and put on airs. If they really fight, they will be exposed immediately.

On the way north, has there ever been a bitter battle?
The Jin army in Dongguan and Hefei were all underdogs. Lu Qin's mind was not on this, and his troops were shrunk to Shouchun and Xuzhou.

"According to the Huai River, it is already an unprecedented victory. Could it be that the Prime Minister really wants to compete with Qin and Jin for the Central Plains..." Shen Ying was very worried.

"Mantis catching cicadas and orioles are behind. Qin and Jin each have hundreds of thousands of people. It is still unknown who will win or lose. If our army stays in Xuchang, the Qin army will be afraid. If our army attacks Huaisi, it will hit Yang Xingyun's plan. !"

"If Qin and Jin decide the winner, wouldn't it be too late?"

"If Qin wins, Lu Qin's morale will be crushed. Our army will attack it with half the effort. Maybe we can win Huaisi without bloodshed. If Jin wins..." Zhong Hui's eyes glowed, "Then our army will immediately attack Qin with the Jin army. Army, cut off their way back, if Yang Zheng dies, Qin will fall apart!"

In his eyes, Wu Jun's advantage is not in quick battles, but in watching the changes. In the decisive battle between Qin and Jin, Wu Jun can stand on the sidelines.

Both sides will lose, and it is time for Zhong Hui to flex his muscles.

Shen Ying couldn't help being shocked by his crazy plan.

"Haha, the prime minister's conspiracy!" Jiang Shu and the other generals burst out laughing.

Guo Dan, who was kneeling on the ground, also laughed, "If there is a conspiracy by the prime minister, what can Qin Jin do?"

It was originally a well-intentioned flattery, but it successfully attracted Zhong Hui's attention, "Guo Dan is incompetent, lost the army and lost food, disturbed our army's morale, and judged by military law!"

Guo Dan's obsequious smile froze on his face, making his ugly face even harder to look at, "Prime Minister, Prime Minister... this subordinate is careless at the moment, it is definitely not incompetent... Prime Minister, please forgive me!"

Zhong Hui rolled his eyes, with a look of disgust on his face, as if he didn't want to look at him more, "Push out and behead! Pass the head to the whole army, and those who are weak in combat and neglect their duties are all like this!"

The progress of the Wu army during this period was so smooth that there was a lot of arrogance in the army.

Just use this head to purge the armed forces.

Two soldiers lifted him out, one on the left and the other on the right.

After a while, a bloody human head came in, and the faces of the generals became much more serious...

Song.

Yang Zheng frowned when he heard that Zhonghui's 20 troops remained in Xuchang.

This shows that Zhong Hui looks down on Huai Si.

The position of Xuchang is more critical. If Zhong Hui does not attack Xuzhou eastward, it means that his goal is in the north and west.

"Is it Zhong Hui's plan?" Yang Zheng said casually.

Wei Guan said: "Zhong Hui is resourceful, fickle, frivolous and arrogant. After so many years, his nature is still hard to change. I don't think you need to pay too much attention to this person."

Yang Zheng also wanted to ignore him, but after all, an army of more than 20, even 20 pigs, is amazingly powerful if it is shot in one direction.

"Luoyang has Zhang Zichan, and Wancheng has Du Yuankai, which is enough to resist." Wei Guan's words were somewhat contemptuous of Zhonghui.

With Zhang Te and Du Yu around, Zhong Hui should not be able to make any waves.

Besides, even if Zhong Hui really wanted to mess with himself, could it be that the more than 30 troops just stopped at Chaoge?

When the water comes, the soil will cover it, and the soldiers will block it.

Sometimes you think too much, hesitate, miss the opportunity, and you may not get anything in the end.

After cleaning up Sima Yan, it will not be too late to come to the clock meeting.

Yang Zheng feasted heavily on the soldiers of the Qin army, who were brave in battle, and rewarded them with gold, silk, money and food in front of everyone.

"The first climber, Xie Cheng!"

"The last general is here." A young general stepped forward and knelt down in front of Yang Zheng.

This man's face was like a crown of jade, and his figure was tall and straight. He had the ability of a warrior and a bit of elegance.

At first glance, they were scholars, and there were a large number of such people among the prisoners of the Jin army.

Either a poor family from a poor family, or a collateral descendant of a powerful gentry.

"You're a real talent, where is your ancestral home? Who else is in your family?" Yang Zheng asked curiously.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the last general is from the same hometown as His Majesty, the Xie Clan of Yangxia, Chenjun!"

"Dashan!" It turned out to be a fellow villager.

Chen County Xie's...

Yang Zheng suddenly remembered that the famous Xie An, Xie Shi, and Xie Xuan in history did not come from the Xie family in Chen County?

"Who are you, General Shebden, the old farmer?" Wei Guan asked.

"It's my father..." Xie Cheng had a look of panic on his face.

Wei Guan whispered in Yang Zheng's ear: "His father, Xie Zan, was originally an official of Dasinong Huanfan. After the Gaoping Mausoleum change, Huanfan was dissuaded from going out, so he was reused by Sima Yi and awarded the Diannong Zhonglang General."

It turned out that there was still this past in the middle.

So the Xie family has received the favor of Sima Yi.

No wonder Xie Cheng was terrified...

Yang Zheng is not interested in digging up old accounts, "The Sima family cheated the world and stole their names. The crime belongs to one family and has nothing to do with others. The military law of the Great Qin Dynasty rewards meritorious deeds and punishes demerits. Xie Cheng has meritorious deeds in breaking the city.

This is a clear signal to the Central Plains scholars.

There is a grievance and a debtor, and Daqin does not engage in continuous sitting.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Xie Cheng burst into tears with excitement, and hit his head heavily on the ground.
