Prime Minister of Great Qin

The second year of Qin II.

August.

It’s autumn harvest time again.

This large-scale riot in Kanto has lasted for a full year.

However, the situation in the world did not change according to Fusu's established ideas, but many changes occurred.

The beginning of the turmoil.

The entire Kanto region was in chaos.

It's hard to tell who is the enemy or the friend, and each of them is fighting. More than thirty counties in Guandong are surrounded by smoke, and everyone is in danger.

At the beginning of the turmoil, the powerful force of the remnants of the Six Kingdoms also shocked the world. In just one or two months, several major counties in Guandong fell. Hundreds and thousands of officials were killed, and countless officials defected. , surrendered the remnants of the Six Kingdoms.

The warehouse that was originally supposed to be a bait for the Qin army fell directly into the hands of the remnants of the Six Kingdoms.

After months of turmoil, the situation in Kanto gradually became clear.

It's just that this clarity was somewhat beyond Qin Ting's expectations. More than thirty counties, up to twenty counties were lost, and the entire Guandong began to fall in the direction of the remnants of the Six Kingdoms. Officials loyal to Qin Ting were especially in this situation. In the great turmoil, the situation is precarious and the situation is difficult.

Under such circumstances.

Even though he was as calm as Fusu, he still couldn't sit still.

All the five armies prepared earlier were arranged.

With the attack of these 100,000 troops, the situation in Kanto has indeed been reversed to a certain extent.

at first.

It is indeed overwhelming.

The army led by Zhang Xi set out from Sanchuan County and marched directly to Yingchuan in Han Dynasty. Han Dynasty was deeply influenced by Guanzhong. Even though Han Cheng, Han Xin and others frantically advocated and instigated, the results were not great. Local resistance It was also quite strong. In the end, Zhang Xi recovered most of the counties and cities in Yingchuan without any effort. After seeing that the situation was not good, Han Cheng and others also fled quickly and fled to Zhao.

the other side.

Weng Zhong went south from Jiuyuan.

Originally, the three Jin areas should be dealt with by Zhang Xi and Hu Su who went north. However, at that time, brothers Wei Jiu and Wei Bao were so arrogant that after capturing most of Hedong County, they continued to go north to seize Shangdang and Taiyuan. Finally, the imperial court ordered Weng Zhong to lead his troops south.

The army led by Weng Zhong was baptized by fighting against the Xiongnu and was very powerful.

At the beginning of the march south, the Wei army led by Wei Bao was beaten until it was breathless. They only dared to stay away from the city and did not dare to covet the extra city. However, it was precisely because Weng Zhong's main force devoted himself to the crusade against the Wei army. , so that Zhao Xie of Zhao Di got a great opportunity for development.

Since ancient times, Yan and Zhao have many strong men.

Zhao Xie was still weak when he started the uprising in Handan, but because he was a descendant of King Zhao, after the uprising, many local bandits and gangsters came to surrender, and then the nobles from Zhao also joined in, so that Zhao Xie, who was originally weak, became stronger. Received rapid expansion.

From having no more than 10,000 troops, he suddenly had an army of 80,000.

There is also a corresponding team.

Especially after Li Zuoche, the grandson of Li Mu, came to surrender, Zhao Xie's military strength increased greatly. At first, Zhao Xie had no intention of rescuing Han and Wei. He only wanted to go north and attack Shijun and Julu. Taking advantage of the fact that the Qin army had no time to take care of it, they regained their old territory and restored the mountains and rivers of Zhao State, but were persuaded by Li Zuoche and Zhang Liang.

After Li Zuoche and Zhang Liang fell in love and understood each other, Zhao Xie finally nodded and sent troops to assist Han Wei.

As Li Zuoche led an army of 50,000 to the west, Zhang Xi and Weng Zhong relied on their own troops and local forces to fight against the armies of the three places. They were gradually stretched. The originally good situation gradually fell into a stalemate. If it were not for the three places of Han, Zhao and Wei, There was insufficient food and grass, and Wei Jiu, Han Cheng, and Zhao Xie were eager to stabilize the place, fearing that the situation in the three places would become even more anxious and corrupt.

The current place of Sanjin.

There is a mutual victory or defeat, and they have fallen into a tug of war.

If the situation in the Three Jin Lands is still within Fusu's expectations and within the acceptable range, then the situation in Chuyue is unacceptable to Fusu. Su Hu and Yang Wu went north, not only did they not gain much The result of the battle was heavy losses. If not for Yang Wu's cleverness, he would have almost died on the battlefield.

Two armies separated from the South China Sea Army.

Hu Su led his army northward and easily recaptured Qianzhong County, and then started a fierce campaign with Gong Ao, who was revolting in Nan County. Nan County was full of water and swamps, making fighting inconvenient. Therefore, as soon as he stepped into the watery land of Nan County , and fell into a bitter battle.

Hu Su's situation is still acceptable.

There just aren't enough troops.

But Yang Wu is completely different.

He led his troops to attack Changsha, and then sent his troops east to attack Jiujiang. That is, when he was in Jiujiang, he encountered a blow from Yingbo. Yingbo was very brave. Although he had only ten thousand troops, he was extremely ferocious in Yingbo's hands. , Yang Wu didn't pay attention for a moment, and several people rushed to kill him, causing heavy losses.

If he hadn't run fast, he would have almost died.

Now Yang Wu, after gathering the remaining troops, can only shrink the city.

I didn't dare to take the initiative at all.

Morale plummeted.

As for Hedong, the site of the Fourth War, it was even more miserable.

At the beginning of the chaos in the world, as Liu Ji fled to Dang County, other officials loyal to the Qin Dynasty saw that the situation was not good and fled to Dang County one after another. After stabilizing their position in Dang County, they began to conquer the south and the north. Under the command of Wu Rui, Xiao Ke and others, the local army attacked one after another.

Not only did they regain Hedong, they also recovered Dongjun and part of Xuejun's cities.

However, the good times did not last long.

As the Tang and Song clans in the land of Chu and Yue gained a firm foothold, they successively began to attack Huaiyang and Sishui counties. In addition, the Tian clan, based on Jimo County, successively captured Langya County and Linzi County. He also plotted to attack most of Jibei County, and Chen Yu in the north was also in trouble in Changshan County, leading thousands of soldiers to harass Dongjun from time to time.

In addition, Shen Yang, who raised troops from Sanchuan County, also led thousands of people to attack Dongjun from time to time.

The entire Dangjun and Dongjun were completely reduced to a place of four battles. Beacons are everywhere.

Liu Ji and others completely became fire-fighting generals.

He led more than 10,000 people many times to provide various rescue operations. However, the rebel forces of the six countries at the beginning were not that strong. Liu Ji and others went on expeditions and won many battles, especially when they faced such a huge siege. Under pressure, he turned defeat into victory many times and regained many cities.

However, Liu Ji's repeated victories came to an abrupt end when one man led his troops northward.

At that time, Liu Ji had a high prestige in Dang County due to his repeated victories in battles. The number of soldiers under his command was directly expanded to more than 30,000, and the equipment was also well-equipped. Therefore, under this situation, he also took the initiative to attack many times and defeated the Tang family in a row. , Song Yi and other Chu and Yue forces were at their peak.

So when I heard that Chu Yue had reinforcements coming again, I didn't take it too seriously.

Fight directly in the wilderness.

It was also this battle that scared Liu Ji half to death.

He used an army of 30,000 to fight against an army of 10,000 led by Xiang Yu, but he was no match for him. Xiang Yu defeated the army he led with just a few charges. It was also the first time that he felt death. Because of the fear, he ran away directly knowing that he was unable to fight behind enemy lines.

This battle.

Liu Ji's soldiers suffered heavy losses.

More than half damaged.

The original offensive came to an abrupt end with this battle. Especially after Wu Rui, Liao Ke and others led the army to confront Xiang Yu once, they were all frightened and had no idea of ​​leaving the city to fight with him again. .

Throughout the land east of Hedong, the Qin army was on the defensive.

It was precisely because of the Xiang clan's attack that the Qin army, which had the upper hand, was suddenly at a huge disadvantage. Dongjun, Xuejun, and Jiejun, which had been recaptured, were all taken back.

Morale in the entire Kanto region was at its lowest point.

The previous morale was completely gone.

And as the three Jin lands, Jiujiang Yingbu, and Nanjun Gongao gradually gained a foothold, the situation has turned increasingly unfavorable to the Qin court.

Emergency letters from all over the country were once again sent to Fusu Case like snowflakes.

Xianyang.

A small courtyard in Xicheng.

It rained lightly in the middle of the city.

The ground was wet.

In a study room, Hu Hai and Ying Sinian stood in front of a map, their brows furrowed and their eyes full of worry and uneasiness.

They have heard about the situation in the world.

Not optimistic.

Perhaps, the situation in the Three Jin Lands was within Fusu's expectation, but the rest of the lands in Guandong were completely different from what Fusu expected, and even the opposite. Not only did Qin Ting not achieve much offensive success, but it was also under attack. They retreated step by step, and were forced to give up the newly recovered city.

Kanto seems to be in a state of anxiety now.

In fact, Qin Ting's offensive in Guandong has been obviously frustrated.

It's even shrinking.

Ying Sinian kept comparing the bamboo slips on the side, and then made a mark on the paper.

"This is Gong'ao, this is Shenyang, and this is Yingbu."

"here it is"

When Ying Sinian put the rebel leaders reported to the imperial court on the bamboo slips and marked them one by one on two or three feet of paper, he realized what kind of chaos Guandong had become.

The imperial court has lost control of most of the cities in Kanto.

Hu Hai looked at Ji Heng and said: "Ji Heng, the situation in the world is very bad now. The idea you proposed at the beginning may not be continued. If it is delayed any longer, I am afraid that the entire Guandong will fall into the Six Kingdoms It is in the hands of the remnant, and when the court sends a large army to recover it, it will probably have to pay a greater price."

"The court cannot afford to delay."

Hu Hai had a serious look on his face.

Although he didn't know much about military affairs, he could see that the situation was serious.

Ji Heng glanced at the map produced by Ying Sinian indifferently, chuckled, and said calmly: "What's the rush? Now all the anti-Qin forces are on the bright side, and the situation in Guandong has only been officially laid out. open."

"Not urgent."

"Let Kanto be in chaos for a while longer."

"The situation will naturally be clear by then."

Hear the words.

Hu Hai and Ying Sinian looked at each other, their eyes full of confusion and confusion, and asked: "Ji Heng, can't you understand the situation on this map? Now the entire Guandong court is no longer in an advantage, but is being The remnants of the country are encroaching step by step, and once the Three Jins, Chu Yue, and Tian Qi completely establish a foothold, the situation will be unpredictable."

Ji Heng sneered.

He asked back: "Since you are so worried, let me ask you a question. Did you hear that these generals sent by Fusu took the initiative to ask for help from the imperial court?"

"Have any of Meng Tian, ​​Zhang Han, and Li Xin taken the initiative to apply for military services?" (End of Chapter)
