I’m The King Chapter 1029: :East and West (22)

In Jishicheng County Guard's Mansion, Wu Kai looked at Yan Haibo in front of him.

"Little Yanzi, this time the two of us will fight side by side again." Yan Haibo was born in the Fufeng Army and was Gao Yuan's earliest follower, and Wu Kai was the magistrate of Fufeng County back then. With support, Gao Yuan took the first step in his development. He called Xiao Yanzi, but there was no problem at all.

"Hai Bo is willing to listen to Mr. Wu's proposal!" Yan Haibo cupped his hands.

"Wrong, I'm a scholar, I don't know anything about war. Before Commander He Lanxiong comes back, you have the final say. All I can do is gather stones for you Reserve soldiers in the county, prepare enough food, grass, ordnance for you, so that the soldiers fighting on the front line will have no worries." Wu Kai stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Back then in the battle of Jishi City, our three thousand soldiers blocked Tan Fengzhou Yu’s 20,000-strong army attacked violently, and today we have 40,000 to 50,000 people, are we still afraid of mere Qin people? Today’s Jishi City is not the old Jishi City!”

"That's right, Wang Xiao didn't break through Shannan County City, which gave us enough time to withdraw the main force. The Qin people have no chance of winning this battle. I really don't know why the Qin people are so confident and still Drive straight in, do you think we are all made of paper?" Yan Haibo was a little puzzled.

"You just withdrew back, and you don't know the situation in the whole continent yet!" Wu Kai sighed, "Qin and Chu have joined forces. Chu State not only intervenes in Qi State's affairs, but also gathers a large army in Linyi, and may attack our country at any time." To launch an attack, it has been more than ten days since the last mansion report was delivered, and the next wave of mansion reports will take several days to arrive. I don’t know what the state of Qi is like now? But no matter how critical the situation is, I think the king I will definitely solve the Qi problem first."

Yan Haibo nodded, "After solving the problem of Qi, we will be able to mobilize an army of one hundred thousand. This is a decisive force. It is time for Bai Yucheng to play a role."

Wu Kai laughed, "Indeed, Xiao Yanzi, I have already withdrawn all the people outside Jishi City who can be withdrawn to Jishi City. As for the supplies, I will take them away if I can. Burn it, I have already promised these people that the village chiefs will make a record of the burned things, and after the war, the county guard will be responsible for compensation. In this way, I have left two strongholds of Baiyang Village and Denglin Village besides the city of Jishi County Except, the rest have been evacuated.”

"Baiyang Village and Denglin Village?"

"These two villages are mainly composed of retired soldiers, and their reserve soldiers are well-known throughout the country. I mean, from among the troops you have withdrawn, send them back to these two villages I think it is very necessary to send two regular troops in and maintain two forces outside Jishi County." Wu Kai said.

Yan Haibo laughed, "Master Wu still said that he doesn't understand military affairs, isn't that right? Keeping two forts outside is indeed beneficial to the defense of Jishi City, and this time, I am not prepared to defend to the death, the people of Qin There are 100,000 people, and we have more than 50,000 people. In this battle, it is not certain who will win!"

"Your Majesty has sent Agu Wynn's Donghu Cavalry Independent Division to take the lead to help. This is a cavalry of 20,000 people. Once they arrive, you will be even more powerful. And the King will also lead the young people to approach The guards have arrived, Agu Wynn has already set off, and the king does not know when he will be able to set off."

"A Gu Huai'en? That Donghu man!" Yan Haibo frowned.

"Don't underestimate them just because they lost to us. The cavalry of the Donghu people is even worse than that of the Xiongnu cavalry. Don’t worry about it!” Wu Kai laughed.

"I hope the commander will come back soon, I'm afraid this Agu Wynn won't listen to me." Yan Haibo shook his head and said.

"Don't worry, he's here, I'm holding you back, you can give him orders, if you don't listen to your orders, I'll make him look good!" Wu Kai said with a serious face.

"That's good!" Yan Haibo smiled happily. With Wu Kai's qualifications, he is not afraid that Ah Gu Huai'en will not obediently obey orders.

With a bang, the door was pushed open, and Tang He, the head of the Overwatch Council branch stationed in Jishi City, appeared in front of the two with a pale face, "Junjun Wu, Commander Yan, something happened."

"What's the matter?" Wu Kai's face changed drastically, there are not many things that can make Tang He panic like this.

Tang He swallowed hard and turned to look at Yan Haibo: "Commander Yan, Commander He Lan fell into Li Xin's trick to lure the enemy in the Siyang River, and now he is surrounded by Li Xin's 100,000 troops , unable to escape.”

Yan Haibo exclaimed in surprise: "How is it possible? Did you make a mistake? Commander He Lan has rich experience and is very familiar with the situation on the prairie. How could he make such a mistake?"

"Li Xin swept across the prairie, constantly slaughtering the small tribes of the Xiongnu who did not retreat to Jishi City." Tang He walked to the map, picked up a charcoal pencil, and circled on the map. "This is what we analyzed from the intelligence we synthesized afterwards. These seemingly aimless massacres actually have only one purpose, which is to lure Commander He Lan to take revenge. The troops are all equipped with one thousand cavalry and two thousand infantry. As long as Commander Helan attacks any of them, it will attract the entanglement of these Qin army troops like poking a hornet's nest, and Li Xin has deployed troops around the periphery. A larger encirclement surrounded Commander He Lanxiong in the net. No matter in which direction our army attacked, it would always hit Li Xin's troops. As the encirclement became smaller and smaller, Commander He Lanxiong's room for movement has been compressed. It is getting smaller and smaller, and the last information we got is that Commander Helan is heading towards the Aguayala Canyon.”

Tang He breathed heavily, finished speaking in one breath, and threw the charcoal pencil to the ground, "What should we do now?"

"What else can we do? Attack, fight the enemy, and rescue Commander Helan!" Yan Haibo roared, turned around and was about to walk out.

"Stop!" Wu Kai roared, "Little Yanzi, do you know what happened to the Aguayala Grand Canyon?

Looking at Yan Haibo for a moment, Wu Kai pulled Yan Haibo to the front of the map, pointed to a long black line, and said, "Look, this is the Aguayala Grand Canyon, about fifteen miles long, with two sides on both sides. It is a cliff, and there is only one exit at each end. Commander He Lan entered the Grand Canyon. As long as Li Xin is blocked at both ends, we will not be able to fight out."

"Do you understand what I mean?" Wu Kai looked at Yan Haibo: "Li Xin can spare his main force and wait for you to rescue Commander Helan. Who is Li Xin? He was famous in the world At that time, only Zhao Mu could compare with him, and he was much younger than Zhao Muke. It was the time when he was in the prime of life, and the tactics of besieging the city and fighting for reinforcements were often practiced by our Han army.”

"So what? Did you just watch Commander He Lan trapped in the Aguayala Canyon? Our strength is not much less than theirs. Even though Li Xin trapped the Commander, I believe that He Lan Commander Lan also caused great casualties to them. In addition, they blocked Commander Helan's troops. The number of people they could bring out to fight us was 70,000 to 80,000 people. Our Dongye plus yours Your Jishi County reserve can also gather 60,000 to 70,000 troops." Yan Haibo said.

"You want to fight Li Xin, but Li Xin will fight you?" Wu Kai said coldly, "You took everyone away, what about Jishi City? As a plan, the Qin Army brigade went straight to the empty Jishi City, what can Jishi City do to resist, do you want me to organize those old and weak women and children to go to the city to resist the enemy?"

"I..." Yan Haibo was at a loss for words immediately. "You are standing opposite Li Xin, a general who is best at planning. Any underestimation of him will bring devastating disaster. The importance of Jishicheng Not to mention, you also know that the entire military industry center of our Han Dynasty is in the city, with a large number of excellent craftsmen and the latest ordnance technology. If Jishi City falls, do you know what this means? This will wipe out our leading edge in military industry Wucun, the Qin people have captured these craftsmen and technicians, and with the power of the Qin people, they will quickly reverse our lead in military industry, and we big men will face great danger.”

"Are you just watching Commander He Lan trapped there like this?" Yan Haibo's eyes turned red.

"For the big man, there is no one who cannot be sacrificed." Wu Kai said coldly: "Today is Commander He Lan, if it is my turn tomorrow, I will not frown. Everything is for the big man! Hai Bo, you Go arrange the defense of the city. According to our previous deployment, implement it quickly. Commander Helan is trapped, and the defense of Jishi City will fall on you. We will not worry about it until the king arrives."

"Then ignore Commander Helan!" Yan Haibo gritted his teeth.

"The two ends of the Aguayala Grand Canyon are blocked. It is true that you have entered the Jedi, but you should not forget that the people inside cannot come out, and it is not so easy for the people outside to get in. As long as Commander Helan insists on Come down, and when our reinforcements arrive, we will be able to rescue him."

"But there is no food and grass in the Aya Gula Grand Canyon, and more importantly, there is no water source!" Tang He whispered.

"Commander He Lan is traveling on the grasslands, and he must carry a certain amount of drinking water with him. If it is too bad, he still has a horse!" Wu Kai said.

Yan Haibo hesitated for a moment, and finally turned around and walked out. Looking at Yan Haibo's back, Wu Kai said to Tang He: "Tang He, go and find He Lankang and He Lanmin, the two elder ministers of He Lan."

"Governor, let the two elders know about this matter at this time, wouldn't it add to the confusion? According to the opinion of the subordinates, it is the best policy to only hide it from them now."

"Conceal it? Can it be concealed?" Wu Kai glared at Tang He, "Yan Haibo's army cannot be moved, and the reserve forces of Jishi County cannot be moved. I must stay and guard Jishi City with these people, but how can I I really don’t care about Commander Helan.” (To be continued)
