Chapter 1787 Carrying the Wei Army

Chapter 1785: Carrying the Wei Army

“I am reporting to my lord that after the last general led his army northward, he first set up an ambush to defeat Qin’s front army, beheaded Wang Gui, and then defeated Zhang Xian…”

Wei Zhang knelt down on one knee with his fists clasped, reporting the results of the battle in a leisurely manner, and then apologized: "The last general could have wiped out all the fleeing Zhang Xian's troops, but he didn't want to go against the Qin Dynasty and the governor of Jingzhou, Qin Zheng, led the army to rescue in time. Can return to Gangneung.”

Hearing this, Liu Xiu frowned slightly and asked, "How many troops did Qin Zheng bring? How could he defeat Wei Zhang head-on?"

According to Liu Xiu’s knowledge, the main force of the Qin army in Xiangyang is not very large today, so in order to ensure the safety of Xiangyang, where it is governed, Qin Zheng should not dare to take too many troops out of the city.

In addition, if Qin Zheng's military strength exceeded that of the Chu army, Wei Zhang would not fight him at all. But if the number of men was less than that of the Chu army, logically speaking, the Chu army would not lose so miserably?

“Qin Zheng only brought three thousand elite troops.”

Wei Zhang answered truthfully, with a look of unwillingness in his eyes. After all, losing six thousand to three thousand was indeed a bit embarrassing.

"What? Qin Zheng's three thousand main force could defeat our army's six thousand elites?"

Liu Xiu's eyes widened and his face suddenly turned ugly, while the other generals also exclaimed.

The 7,000 Chu troops that Wei Zhang took away were not ordinary troops, but actual elite troops. Now they were defeated by 3,000 Qin troops. This is really hard to accept.

Liu Xiu's face became more and more ugly, and then he seemed to have thought of something, and said with a carefree smile: "I didn't expect that Qin Zheng was not only good at government affairs, but also talented in military strategy. This generation of the Qin family is really full of talents."

Liu Xiu praised his opponent, but he was actually covering up for his failure. It meant that it was not that we were incompetent, but that the opponent was very strong.

Hearing Liu Xiu's words, Li Mi stood up and explained: "My lord, Qin Zheng is the adopted son of Qin Wen. He has a military background. He has fought with Qin Wen for many years. He performed well during the Yellow Turban Uprising, but later Qin Hao was too much. Dazzling, in contrast, Qin Zheng's military ability appears to be mediocre. In fact, Qin Zheng is a good general. "

 “Oh? Is there anything else?”

Liu Xiu suddenly showed a look of surprise. His impression of Qin Zheng was still after he served as the governor of Jingzhou. Under Qin Zheng's governance, Jingbei's officials governed the Qingming Dynasty, the government was harmonious, and the finances improved every year, so he had no idea about Qin Zheng. His past before serving as the governor of Jingzhou.

"My lord, although Qin Zheng has the talent of a general, he can't defeat the 6,000 elite troops of the last general with three thousand main troops. The last general was not defeated by Qin Zheng, but by Bei Wei's army. "Wei Zhang said with a wry smile.

"Bei Weijun? Yue Fei's Beiwei Army? That's not surprising."

　　The generals all exclaimed in surprise, and then accepted the defeat calmly.

The Chu army suffered too many losses and lost too many battles when facing the Beiwei army, and now it is no longer surprising.

"Yue Fei's Beiwei Army has been reorganized? It's a bit difficult now."

Liu Xiu frowned, his eyes full of solemnity.

Not only did Qin Hui want Yue Fei to die, Liu Xiu also wanted Yue Fei to die. When Yue Fei was investigated and imprisoned, Liu Xiu was among them who contributed to the cause.

Liu Xiu first spread rumors in Jingbei and Sizhou, and then spent a lot of money to bribe officials in the court and central government to slander Yue Fei for treason. With both tactics, he hoped to use Qin Hao's hand to get rid of Yue Fei, a serious problem. In Liu Xiu's view, Qin Hao had already investigated and imprisoned Yue Fei, so Yue Fei must be dead, but he did not expect that Qin Hao did not kill Yue Fei in the end.

However, although Yue Fei did not die, he left Jingbei completely, and Qin Qiong, who succeeded Yue Fei, was far behind Yue Fei, and the threat to the Chu State was far less than Yue Fei.

In addition, Yue Fei was dismissed from his post and investigated for no reason, which made many people in the Qin army in northern Jing Dynasty feel resentful. Some troops wanted to clear their grievances for their commander and protested the court's decision to take Yue Fei into custody.

Under the deliberate instigation of Liu Xiu's secret agents, some troops went too far, especially the Beiwei Army founded by Yue Fei. If Zhang Xian and Wang Gui had not tried hard to persuade them, they almost reached the point of mutiny, which also forced Qin Zheng to Qin Qiong had to disband the Beiwei Army.

Qin Zheng and Qin Qiong had no choice but to do this. The Beiwei Army was an army founded by Yue Fei. They only recognized Yue Fei but not them. Yue Fei's life or death was not guaranteed. And if the Beiwei Army really rebelled, Yue Fei would die. deal.

As the most elite Beiwei army among the Qin troops in northern Jingbei, after Yue Fei was imprisoned, it became the most unstable factor in northern Jingbei.

 So, for the sake of the stability of Jingbei and to save Yue Fei's life, Qin Zheng and Qin Qiong decided to disperse the Beiwei army and distribute it to the entire army.

In order to cause chaos in Jingbei, Liu Xiu frequently resorted to various dirty and dirty methods, while Qin Zheng used his tactics to dismantle Liu Xiu's plans one after another, ultimately ensuring the stability of Jingbei.

Now that Yue Fei has been reinstated, Qin Zheng reorganized the Beiwei Army. However, because they had been dispersed for a long time and had not practiced battle formations for too long, the soldiers were a little rusty and had to undergo some training, so the Beiwei Army was Did not go to Yiling battlefield.

As the strongest elite among the Qin army in northern Jingzhou, the Beiwei army has the most sophisticated equipment and the best sources of soldiers. The training took only half a month, and it has already returned to its peak combat power.

The reorganized Beiwei Army faced Chu general Wei Zhang in the first battle. In the end, under the command of Qin Zheng, 3,000 troops defeated 6,000 elite Chu troops head-on.

 “Ignore the Beiwei army for now. As the seat of Jingzhou, Xiangyang’s status is more important than Jiangling. Qin Zheng doesn’t dare to send the Beiwei army out, so let’s think about how to defeat Jiangling first.”

After saying this, Liu Xiu looked at Wei Zhang and asked, "I wonder, General Wei Zhang, do you have any strategy to break the city?"

Wei Zhang didn't have any good ideas, but he still advised: "Lord, we can leave Jiangling aside first and attack other cities in Nanjun, so that Jiangling becomes an isolated city that cannot be defended. It will only take time to conquer Jiangling." question."

Liu Xiu thought for a moment and then nodded, helplessly saying: "This is the only way we can do it first.

Wei Zhang and Cen Peng, I order you to lead an army of 10,000 each, divided into two groups, and go to capture the remaining counties of Nanjun. You must give me the king to capture the entire Nanjun in half a month. "

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　)

Liu Xiu defeated Han Shizhong's water stronghold and suffered nearly two thousand casualties. Attacking Jiangling suffered another thousand casualties, while Wei Zhang's seven thousand elite soldiers suffered three thousand casualties.

 At this point, the Chu army has lost 6,000 troops, leaving 44,000 of the 50,000 army.

Forty-four thousand Chu troops divided their troops again, and again into three. One group continued to besiege Jiangling, and two groups went to capture the remaining counties of Nanjun.

The other counties in Nanjun don't have much troops at all, so how can they stop Wei Zhang and Cen Peng's army?

Each county was either captured or took the initiative to surrender. In just over half a month, Nanjun was no longer owned by the Qin army, leaving only Jiangling, the last isolated city.
