Chapter 327: Carving up Jizhou

"According to reliable information, Han King Liu Hua has already fought against Qin Taiwei Yang Su's army at Mengjing Pass."

"With all the elites of Han, it's time to raise troops to carve up Jizhou."

After the defeat at Hulao Pass, King Wei Jiu of Wei learned that his younger brother Wei Bao had died in the battle. After Zhou Shi had finally managed to pull up 4 horses and [-] Wei soldiers, his army was annihilated at Hulao Pass. His blood pressure soared and he almost died!

After all, the main force of the coalition forces of the princes was destroyed, and all the way down from Anyang, Chaoge, and Xinxiang, the main beams of the Wei Dynasty were almost undefendable.

But there is nothing he can do. Not to mention anything else, the most important thing is that his biological brother is dead!
Fortunately, Wei Jiu breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that the main force of the Qin army was fighting the Han army at Mengjinguan.

At least Tian Zhan was more or less the King of Qi, and he escaped with Qi Guoqi Martial Arts, so he still had someone in his hands.

In order to recover losses and feel the huge threat from Han, Wei Jiu chose to join forces with Tian Zhan and other princes from Hebei and other places. Peng Yue, the famous general under King Tian Zhan of Qi, assembled [-] troops and claimed to prepare for the Qin army. However, he secretly went north to capture the huge army. deer!
Several great princes in Hebei, Li Mi and others, who were directly threatened by Han, raised [-] troops, with Li Mi as the commander, to attack Jizhou, echoing Tian Zhan's general Peng Yue.

Wei Jiu and Tian Zhan gritted their teeth and forced out a combined force of [-] troops to follow Peng Yue in the rear as reinforcements.

The alliance's goal is very simple, that is to gather 15 soldiers and horses, attack Julu from two directions, and carve up Jizhou!
As long as Julu is captured, Julu's rule over Jizhou will soon collapse, and officials everywhere will surrender because of Julu's loss!
No matter Wei Jiu, Tian Zhan, Li Mi and other princes, they all felt the threat from the Han Dynasty.If the Han State cannot be suppressed now and the main force of the Han army returns from Mengjin Pass, these princes will most likely be annexed by the Han State.
Or if the Han army is defeated by the Qin army, and they are short of soldiers and food, they will also be wiped out by the Qin army. Only by plundering the food in Jizhou, Han State, can they have a chance of survival. Now is their only chance.

When the secret alliance began to mobilize troops on a large scale, it was finally impossible to hide its movements, and news of the advance of various armies was quickly spread to Julu.

"I don't know how the crusade against Qin is progressing. Have you defeated the Qin army?"

Xun Xi is handling internal affairs on her behalf, and Liu Hua is the designated rear manager for this expedition.Only she has the ability to govern the Han Dynasty.

"Princess, there are three groups of enemies who are marching quickly towards Julu! The one closest to Julu is Peng Yue's army from Qi State. The number is estimated to be around 5, of which [-] martial arts knights are the vanguard. It is estimated that he wants to quickly attack Julu. Under Lucheng, through siege, disintegrate Julucheng’s rule over Jizhou!”

"A coalition force from Li Mi in Wagang Village is rapidly approaching the Jiuzhen area of ​​Hedong in Xiacheng!"

"Wei Jiu and the Tian Zhan coalition are still gathering. They are Peng Yue's backup troops."

"You and Zhang Ning discuss how to deal with it. Currently we only have [-] usable troops, and there are also [-] training camps that will barely be able to fight in the near future."

When the anti-Han alliance held a large-scale army, Shen Pei, who was responsible for handling intelligence, quickly used the intelligence network of the Han State to collect the movements of various soldiers and horses, and immediately informed Xun Xi, who was currently in the Han Palace.

"If these villains want to take advantage of others, they have thought too much!"

Xun Xi sneered, she had expected this.

Because the Han State was developing too fast and its power was strongest in Hebei, the nearby princes would join forces to deal with the Han State.They knew that if they did not join forces, they would be defeated one by one by Han and then annexed.

Whether it is to deal with the Han State or the outgoing Qin State, these princes will choose to form an alliance, which is their only chance.

"Your Majesty is not here, I must defend the Han Kingdom. This is the power I have established with my own hands..."

As someone close to Liu Hua, Xun Xi attached great importance to the Han power established by Liu Hua and would never allow others to destroy it.

Especially if Jizhou is lost, Liu Hua will lose his way out, which is something Xun Xi will never tolerate. "Please invite Zhang Ning, Zhang He, Cao Ren, Cao Hong and other generals to come to the palace!"

"Deploy five thousand Jingling Guards to move to Julu City, and deploy three thousand white horse followers from Youzhou!"

"Be prepared to abandon the villages and towns in Jizhou, shrink the entire line to important cities, and transport all the important materials from the nine towns in Hedong to Julu City or. Once the villages and towns in Jizhou are lost, we will try to regain them in the future!"

"Inform the king immediately about the situation in Han and reassure the king, because we will guard Jizhou until he returns!"

"We still have [-] regular soldiers and a group of city defense troops, plus [-] well-trained field battalions. If they want to capture Julu City, they must be ready for at least a year!"

"Each city recruits village warriors and gives priority to training infantry archers!"

Orders were quickly issued to each city, requiring each city's field camps to unleash their war potential and start recruiting a large number of troops!
Zhang Ning, the commander-in-chief in charge of Jizhou's military affairs, arrived. He learned the news and knew what it meant.

The surrounding villages and towns can be lost as long as they are recovered later, but the important cities cannot be given up.Jizhou's main population, wealth, and important buildings are all located in the city.In particular, Julu City, as the main city, cannot be lost, otherwise it will seriously affect the loyalty of the civil and military forces, shake the morale of the military, and destabilize the people.

"The 2000-man Tianjin navy can control the river transportation if it advances, and can retreat and stick to Bohai County with the soldiers stationed in the fields. If it can interfere with Peng Yue's grain ships transporting grain to the Peng Yue army, then Peng Yue will be short of food, especially Wei Jiu, Tian Zhan and After Peng Yue joins forces, they will have [-] soldiers and horses, and it will be difficult to keep food supplies."

"Of the [-] regular soldiers, [-] are in the south, [-] are in the middle, and [-] are in the east. If [-] Jizhou's eastern troops are transferred to the south, Julu in the south will have [-] troops."

Zhang Ning explained the current troop deployment to Xun Xi, and Xun Xi nodded from time to time.

Zhang Ning hesitated: "The question is, can Youzhou's troops and horses be mobilized? If Youzhou's troops and horses can be mobilized, with only [-] troops and horses, our pressure will be reduced, but Youzhou will face the threat of the Xiongnu. "

He needs someone who can take responsibility.Because Zhang Ning cannot bear the consequences.

Xun Xi finally made the decision: "Order Gongsun Zan and Ban Chao to lead eight thousand soldiers and horses south to Zhaowei County to act as foreign aid and try to defeat the [-] coalition forces of Wei Jiu and Tian Zhan. General Zhang Ning, please help you strengthen the city defense." I will have people produce as much city defense materials as possible in the city."

"As ordered."

Zhang Ning somewhat admired the woman in front of him.

The Anti-Han Alliance has 13 troops, but the Han Kingdom has only about 5 troops at full strength. Even though Jizhou's Tuntian Camp has nearly [-] reserves, they are just recruits who have never seen blood.

Under the premise of such a huge disparity in the proportion of troops, they can still remain calm and deploy, which is better than the vast majority of people.

Zhang Ning went down to rectify Julu's city defense.

However, Julu City, which had only been at war for a year, was once again attacked by the coalition forces, and people were panicked for a while.

Xun Xi asked the Jingling Guards to garrison the city wall. The Jingling Guards near the Jingling Palace were the top imperial guards. They recruited a large number of troops in the city, recalled retired veterans, and at the same time stepped up the training of new recruits and consumed the equipment hoarded in the arsenal.
