I’m The King

Chapter 774: : Drum horns continue to sound sharp (46)

After the Hetao has been calm for more than half a year, the war suddenly revived. Only this time, the Zhengdong Army took the lead in igniting the war. The independent cavalry division led by He Lanyan was the vanguard. More than 15,000 cavalry brazenly launched an offensive against Jingyuan. And behind him, the nearly 20,000 infantrymen of the Second Army Luo Weiran followed closely, and the nearly 40,000 troops marched toward Jingyuan aggressively all the way.

The Zhengdong Mansion has been equipped with a complete military and civil administration system in Hetao. Xu Yuan is the highest military chief and Sun Xiao is the highest civil chief. The two cooperated and mobilized all in a very short time. The army is ready for all the preparatory work for a massive attack on Donghu, but the large number of people who have settled in Hetao are rejoicing in this battle. These people dare to settle in Hetao in a year of war, or People who are bold enough are either people who can’t survive for the original reason. When these people came to the Loop, they suddenly saw the spark of hope for a better life, and they were all working harder. War, for them. , It is a shortcut to accumulate wealth in a very short period of time. You can sign up to be an auxiliary soldier, help transport logistics, stand guard, and take care of the wounded. You can also follow the army and looting the remaining supplies after the army, and doing all this, the Protectorate can even give you credit. After the war, according to the credit you got, you can convert money into money, or you can exchange fields. In short, as long as you participate, you will gain.

It is still mid-July, and there are still two or three months before the autumn harvest. For a while, Hetao is surging in the county, and a large number of people join this vigorous eastern expedition, on the road to Jingyuan. , There are people in various costumes everywhere, driving horse-drawn carriages and mule carts. A team pushing a wheelbarrow, even carrying a load, moving forward mightily.

The enthusiasm of the people greatly relieved Sun Xiao's pressure on transportation logistics. Also liberated a lot of troops to go out into battle. And with the strong mobilization ability of Zhengdongfu in Hetao, Donghu is too far behind in this respect. The Donghu government is far from expecting that the current situation will change so quickly. It seems that after waking up overnight, the situation has deteriorated beyond any further. Allies who have just signed the covenant are beaten to the ground in a blink of an eye, and seem to be angered. The army of the East Army rushed forward with thunder.

Since the last big defeat, Thorpe has been adding troops to Jingyuan and Ningyuan. By July, Arundai’s 10,000 cavalrymen had been stationed in Jingyuan, and Wusu Suotan’s 15,000 cavalrymen had stationed in Ningyuan. In addition, Kumamoto’s more than 20,000 Yanmen had to be added. However, these forces were obviously not enough when the garrison of the East Army Hetao came out. Thorpe personally led the 10,000 palace guards to arrive in Yulin. This is also his capital for pressing the coffin, but as a result of the hastily dispatched, the logistics pressure has increased greatly. In order to supply these tens of thousands of cavalry, the country has been complaining.

The Hetao war is overcast with clouds, and the attention is high. But it seemed that they hadn't been put on this place yet, and led two cavalry divisions of the Youth Guards into Yuyang without stopping.

Zhou Changshou knew that he was over. This time he gambled completely and completely lost. Now he and Kong Deshang are in a stalemate. Although Comte’s subordinates have been defeated by him many times, they still have not entangled with him. Thousands of troops led by Ba appeared on the side of the battlefield. He already knew that the whole city was over. Gouri's conquering army, as expected, betrayed the previous covenant. I bit myself back.

Just when he started to contact Kong De, ready to compromise with Kong De, in exchange for Kong De to join hands with him to extinguish Ye Zhen's belonging with one blow, Gao Yuan led 10,000 cavalry into Yuyang, completely extinguishing his final fantasy.

And with the arrival of Gao Yuan, Ye Zhen also came out. Zhao Jun, currently under the command of Zhou Changshou, has been trapped by the three sides of Kong De, Ye Zhen, and Gao Yuan. In addition to the ambiguity of Kong De’s attitude, others Both aspects are obviously unkind.

At this time, Comte’s mood was also extremely complicated. When Zhou Changshou sent someone to contact him and was willing to let the road open for Comte to leave, the condition was that the two sides should stop. If possible, the two sides would join forces to deal with the conquest. The Eastern Army, for the moment, the Eastern Army has become the common enemy of both sides. He is not without heart, but the Eastern Army has seized the entire city and other five cities. If you want to fight the Eastern Army, you will have to attack the city hard. Chi, this is not worth the gain, but the other party's proposal to let him go and let him go can be considered, but this is not so simple. If the other party does not give up, he will not be so easy to pass. The current Zhou Changshou, although Facing a desperate situation, there is still the possibility of defeating him. If he is allowed to take down Yuyang, he will be alive. Comte cannot but consider the risks involved.

While he was hesitating, the high-level cavalry entered Yuyang and the arrival of the special envoys of Jicheng completely extinguished his thoughts. Even if Zhou Changshou joined hands with him, they were also under the attack of Ye Zhen and Gao Yuan. There is no chance of winning. If one's own troops are exhausted, oneself will lose all value, and one's own future will become bleak. Now, at the order of Jicheng, to save the strength and withdraw to Tianhe County, not only does it lose the righteous name, but also saves his own strength. Dayan sees it and will do it all. The army is aggressive, and the troubled times are here. In troubled times, there is nothing more that makes you feel safer than holding tens of thousands of troops in your hand.

With a resolution of his mind, Kong De immediately reached an agreement with Gao Yuan and Ye Zhen. The three parties worked together to force Zhou Changshou to force the other party to surrender. Then Gao Yuan released Kong De back to Tianhe. Although he lost Yuyang, he preserved his own strength. He also pitted Zhao Jun, the old enemy of Dayan, so why not do it? As for the future, you can only take one step at a time. As long as you have soldiers in your hand, you have room for advance and retreat. Regardless of whether it is Jicheng gaining power or taking power from a high level, after all, he has to give some face to himself with a heavy army.

"This general will never surrender, even if he fights to the last soldier, he will never surrender to you." Facing the messenger sent by Gao Yuan, Zhou Changshou roared.

"In the heart of the benevolent, the Governor of Gaodu could not bear the death and injury of the soldiers on both sides. General Zhou, the situation at the moment, you also know that although your ministry still has warriable soldiers, it is deeply surrounded. There is no food outside and no reinforcements inside. Can it last long? Is it possible that General Zhou watched these sons who followed you finally die in a foreign land? This was the kindness of my governor. As long as your ministry is willing to surrender, our ministry will have no intention of staying in trouble, and will inevitably protect the generals. Down to the safety of every soldier, but since General Zhou refuses to accept it, I can only go back and reinstate my life. I only hope that General Zhou will not regret it." The messenger sneered and dropped these words and walked away.

Zhou Changshou’s sanity was on the verge of collapse. He was originally a cautious general who had a very small intention to have soldiers, but as Zhao Mu died unexplainedly, after the big tree over his head collapsed, he was concerned about his future. His worries finally made him take the risk. The only adventure in his entire life was this time, but this time, he was completely untouched.

He will never surrender. This will not only make Great Zhao faceless, but also make the dead Zhao Taiwei unsatisfied. What's more, once surrendered, even if he saves his life, he will wait for his own after returning to the State of Zhao. It was a fate more terrifying than death in battle. If he died in battle, maybe King Zhao would treat his family well in order to appease the soldiers in the country.

Fight to the death! This is Zhou Changshou's last wish.

Zhou Changshou wanted to work hard, but Gao Yuan was reluctant. The trapped beast is still fighting, facing an opponent who is already in desperate situation, Gao Yuan is more willing to take it without a blood, not to mention, Zhou Changshou's bargaining chip, he has to make good use of it!

Daijun, Nanzhang, Zhao Qi saw the envoy sent by the Zhengdong Army.

In Dai County, Zhao Qi was already riding a tiger. Although the center of gravity of the East Expeditionary Army was removed, he once again conquered Hefeng, Jianli, and took down Nanzhang, the important town of Dai County. It seemed that he had achieved extreme military power. It was a big victory, but he himself understood that he wanted to win Xiling City, which was already wishful thinking.

Hefeng, Jianli, and Daijun now regard Zhao Ren as a Qiu Xu. Small-scale riots have occurred one after another. The cavalry led by infantry in the Eastern Expeditionary Army can't move around and can't grasp the main force of the opponent. Come up and take a bite, and in Xilingcheng, Daijun County, has begun to gather and train more and more soldiers. Daijun has been beaten to death, but because of the support of Zhengdongfu, Daijun is on top of logistics materials. , Can fully support a long-term large-scale war with him.

The question is, can I sustain it?

In Hedong, the Qin army led by Li Xin is getting bigger and bigger. Jing Rufeng has to deal with it with all his strength and is completely unable to support him here. Zhao Jin from Hedong County ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ has repeatedly asked him to end immediately. The war against Daijun turned to deal with the people of Qin with all his strength. In the direction of Wei, the general of Qin’s general Lu Chao, with tens of thousands of troops, invaded the country of Wei. Half of the country, the Wei state is an envoy to Handan almost every day, begging Zhao to send troops for rescue.

The lips are dead and the teeth are cold. If the Wei State still exists, it can still contain a large number of Qin troops. Once the Wei State is completely destroyed, the Zhao State will also be in danger.

No matter from which aspect, the battle against Daijun must be ended. What Zhao Qi needs now is to end the battle decently, so that he can have an account to King Zhao.

How to end it decently has become Zhao Qi's most consideration now.

It was at this time that a special envoy from Xiling City arrived in front of him. The visitor was He Tianju, a civil official sent by the Zhengdong Mansion to Xiling City to assist Zhao Yong with government affairs.

With the deepening of the war, Daijun's dependence on Zhengdong Mansion has become deeper and deeper, which has also made Zhengdong Mansion's penetration of Daijun deeper and deeper. Until now, Daijun’s civil and military affairs have almost been controlled by Zhengdong Mansion. In the hands of Dongfu, together with Feng Fayong, who is stationed in Shannan County, has clearly stated to Gaoyuan that it is already a matter of time to put the only Gaoyuan on the head and bring Daijun into the bag.
