Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 558 The Rock
Taiyuan, Jinyang.

A battle report was delivered to Wang Meng, but he didn't open it. He closed his eyes and leaned sideways on the couch, as if sleeping but not sleeping, as if the disputes outside had nothing to do with him.

More than 20 Bingzhou generals lined up on both sides, waiting quietly.

The most important thing in the west of Liang State is Wang Meng. He has tens of thousands of powerful soldiers in his hand, and his power is getting stronger day by day. Even the senior generals in the army dare not make trouble in front of him.

After a long time, Su Quan finally couldn't bear it anymore, "Commander... Hetao and Nanyang are both at war, why are our troops standing still?"

Wang Meng still didn't open his eyes, "General Gao and Xu, do you want help?"

"Never." Fang Kuang cupped his hands and said.

"Since it hasn't happened yet, why should you be impatient?"

"The Qin army has all its elite troops, but Hetao and Nanyang are empty of troops. If there is a mistake, it will damage the country's prestige and it will not be beneficial to the governor..." Su Quan's voice became weaker and weaker.

In fact, he has another level of thought - military merit.

Seeing that the generals of his generation were either following the emperor on an expedition to western Liaoning, or resisting the Qin army in Hetao and Nanyang, how could he calm down at such an age as a wolf and a tiger?
Of course, this is also what other Black Cloud Generals meant.

Everyone looked at Wang Meng eagerly, eager to fight and make achievements.

The hall fell into silence again.

As a confidant, Fang Kuang said: "Whether to fight or not to fight, the governor has his own plan, just follow his orders."

However, this statement obviously failed to convince the generals.

Everyone still refused to leave. After a cup of tea, Wang Meng opened his eyes and said slowly: "Hetao, Nanyang, Taiyuan, Hedong, which one is more important?"

Everyone was stunned, and someone immediately answered: "Do you still need to ask? Taiyuan, of course, followed by Hedong, then Nanyang, and finally Hetao."

"Yes, Taiyuan is there, and Hedong is there. Even if the Qin army captures Nanyang and Hetao, they can't defend it!"

Wang Meng got up from his desk and asked for a map of Bingzhou. He pointed at Feng Yi and Pu Ban on the opposite side of the river, "Pu Ban has more than [-] Deng and Qiang people, and Feng Yi has [-] Fu Fei guards. In such a battle, the two But the people are standing still, there must be a plan. Both Hetao and Nanyang are nearly a thousand miles away from Taiyuan. As soon as our army comes out, the two of them will be there! Hold Taiyuan, and the situation is still under our control. When Your Majesty returns to the army, Fu Jian happens to be tired of his old soldiers. , our army can then attack!"

The most powerful generals of Di Qin were not Yao Chang or Yang An, but Deng Qiang and Fu Fei.

Needless to say, Fu Fei said that Di Qin was able to take control of Guanzhong. He made great contributions, conquered every battle, and wiped out all the forces in Guanzhong.

Deng Qiang also performed outstandingly in last year's battle and even caused Wang Meng to suffer a small loss.

According to the intelligence collected by the school affairs office, this person was a talent specially promoted by Fu Jian. He had both civil and military skills and was an enemy of ten thousand people. He was left to Fu Sheng to stabilize the country. Unfortunately, Fu Sheng was arrogant and wanted to kill him many times, so he was passed on to Fu Jian. .

"Taiyuan, this is the key to the battle. The rest don't need to be considered. Everyone can just do their jobs. It will not be easy for Fu Jian to break through Nanyang." Wang Meng reassured the generals.

Xu Cheng is Yuan Cong who was personally promoted by Li Yue and has experienced all the battles in the rise of Black Cloud Mountain.

As soon as Fu Jian's [-]-strong army left Wuguan, Xu Cheng implemented the strategy of fortifying the wall and clearing the country, moving the people to Wancheng, regardless of the gains and losses of one city or one place, abandoning the unimportant small cities in the periphery, and gathering troops in Wancheng and Xinye to form a horned force. .

Fu Jian also had [-] troops to attack Wancheng, and the Xinye army attacked behind him. When he attacked Xinye, the Wancheng army was watching eagerly.

To the south, Zhu Xu's [-] Jin troops were watching the fire on the other side of Fancheng.

Even if this group of troops stayed still, Fu Jian still had to devote part of his energy to guard against them. Qin and Jin had a blood feud. The Jin army seriously injured Fu Xiong and Fu Chang, and the Qin army invaded Hanzhong and Shuzhong. No one knows what happened. Time to break up.

Under this situation, Fu Jian's [-]-strong army wanted to break through the two military fortresses of Wancheng and Xinye, which was basically wishful thinking.

Xu Cheng retreated to the second city and also attracted the Qin army to the hinterland of the Central Plains, stretching the Qin army's supplies. After nearly a month of fierce fighting, Fu Jian was now very uncomfortable.So when Wang Meng saw Xu Cheng's deployment, he knew that Nan Mian could rest easy.

The only thing I'm worried about is the Loop to the northwest.

The newly acquired land in Hetao has an unstable foundation. Most of them are Qiang, Hu and Xiongnu tribes. They will surrender to whoever is stronger and lean on whoever gives them more.

Gao Yun only had [-] cavalry under his command, which was a bit stretched to defend the huge Hetao area, so Gao Yun took the initiative to attack Fu Ya's Liangzhou Army.

As one of the few handsome men in Di Qin, Fu Ya was extremely capable and had an army of [-] men. Gao Yun did not take advantage of him.

They fought several times, each winning or losing.

If it was only Fu Ya, it wouldn't be a big problem. The elite Black Cloud Knights could resist it.

But Fu Ya's method was not only military, but also political. He contacted Cao Hub, the right king of the Xiongnu in Henan, and Liu Weichen, the Xiongnu left king, to march into Hetao together.

The leader of the Tiefu tribe, Liu Xiwuqixin, died. Liu Weichen, with the support of Fu Ya, usurped the throne, killed his nephew and his family, and sent troops resolutely.

The Xiongnu were miscellaneous and naturally resisted the Liang Kingdom.

Di Qin regarded Yi Di as innocent, but Liang Guo regarded Yi Di as cattle and sheep. At most, they would become third-class children...

In addition to the two Xiongnu tribes, Tuoba Shi Yijian, who fled to Mobei, also led his army southward with the help of Fu Ya, with [-] cavalry and [-] men known as string control, to recapture the capital city of Shengle.

Therefore, the situation in Hetao is more complicated.

Gao Yun circled between the three forces and barely defended Yunzhong, while Jiuyuan and Shuofang counties gave up directly.

Everyone retreated, only Sima Fangkuang stayed, "Fu Ya united with Tuoba Shi Yijian, Cao Hub, Liu Weichen and others, I'm afraid there is no protection in the clouds..."

Wang Meng shook his head and said: "No, Fu Ya's plan is definitely not Yunzhong, but Taiyuan. After taking Shuofang and Jiuyuan, he can go down the river and take Dingxiang directly, and then attack Taiyuan together with Fu Fei! Only By capturing Taiyuan, the Qin army can consolidate its gains from this battle!"

The importance of Taiyuan is once again placed before the two countries.

Whoever captures Taiyuan will have the geographical initiative.

"That's it!" Fang Kuang admired him. He could not be confused in the chaotic situation and could see through the enemy's intentions at a glance. He was as solid as a rock. How many people in the world could he have?
If Wang Meng doesn't move, this battle is basically stable.

Just waiting for the good news to come from Liaoxi.

"Report to the Commander-in-Chief, General Gao led eight thousand fine cavalry to attack the Huns, and defeated them. He killed more than two thousand people in formation, killed Cao Hub, the right virtuous king of the Huns, captured more than [-] cattle and sheep, and captured Xiangguo, Danghu, Quhou and others. More than [-] people, behead them all and build a capital on the north bank of the Yellow River to intimidate the various tribes!" This time, the scouts came directly to report.

Fu Ya is powerful, but the Xiongnu miscellaneous barbarians, including Tuoba Shi Yijian, are all a rabble.

Since they are a mob, they will definitely not work together.

Gao Yun was bold and careful, and attacked decisively, but the cavalry was not originally used for defense.

"How magnificent, this battle should be the first achievement in the west!" Fang Kuang was overjoyed.

"General Gao has the style of Huo Piao and Yao." Wang Meng also praised him.

However, in the afternoon, another battle report came back from the north. Tuoba Shiyijian took advantage of Gao Yun's elite troops to come out, and joined forces with the Xianbei slaves in Shengle City to seize the city.

"Every gain must come with a loss. Tuoba Shi Yijian still had a chance to escape to Mobei, but now he takes the initiative to go south and throws himself into a trap!" Wang Meng didn't care.
