I’m The King Chapter 1032: :East and West (25)
In just a few days, Wu Kai seemed to have aged several years. It was his idea to let He Lankang and He Lanjie issue the call-up order. Now it seems that the restraining effect on Li Xin is indeed huge, at least Up to now, Li Xin's army is advancing slowly, and there are still hundreds of miles away from Jishi City, and the number of soldiers and horses besieging He Lanxiong is also decreasing, although it is not enough for He Lanxiong to break through from the Aya Gula Grand Canyon , but at least the pressure is greatly reduced.
However, the continuous casualties of the Xiongnu herders also made Wu Kai very sad. He has been the governor of Jishi County for many years. Under his rule, there are a large number of Huns in Jishi County. He has long regarded the Huns as his own , because of a thought of his own, these herdsmen who have not received military training are brave enough to go forward one after another, falling on the battlefield one after another, which makes him suffer a lot. For more than ten days, casualties have been reported continuously The land was sent to Jishi City, and the gathered 20,000 herdsmen had already lost more than 5,000 people.
"Master Wu!" Yan Haibo suddenly swept in from the outside like a wind, "Good news, good news!"
"What good news? Commander He Lan broke through the encirclement!" Wu Kai's buttocks bounced like a spring, and his whole body suddenly seemed refreshed.
"No, our reinforcements have arrived. Agu Wynn's Donghu cavalry division has arrived!" Yan Haibo beamed, "The scouts just sent a report that Agu Wynn has arrived in Fufeng and will arrive in Jishi City soon. That is a powerful cavalry force of 20,000 people!"
Wu Kai let out a long breath and clapped his palms together, "Great, great, this way, we will have enough cavalry to fight with Li Xin on the grassland, those herdsmen There is no need to sacrifice any more."
"Master Wu, I'm afraid you will have to prepare enough rations soon. As soon as Agu Huai'en arrives, he can go into battle as quickly as possible." Yan Haibo said with a smile on his face.
"That's natural. Jishi City's military reserves are sufficient, even if there are another 100,000 people, I can prepare all the needs in a short time." Wu Kai said proudly.
A day later, a group of more than ten riders stepped into Jishi City and went straight to the Sheriff's Mansion. Wu Kai and Yan Haibo stood at the gate of the mansion to welcome these comers. While wearing the cloak, the mouths of Wu Kai and Yan Haibo suddenly opened into an o-shape.
The first person waved his hand lightly and walked straight into the mansion. Wu Kai and Yan Haibo looked at each other and followed closely.
Until entering the lobby, Wu Kai and Yan Haibo clasped their fists together, knelt down on one knee, "I have seen you, Your Majesty."
Gao Yuan's face was very haggard, and even he seemed exhausted after running around for a long time, and He Lanyan, who was standing beside him, lost her luster and looked a little pale.
"Get up quickly, I need to know the latest situation!" Gao Yuan waved his hand and pulled them up.
"My lord, why are you here?" Wu Kai asked.
"I heard that He Lan was trapped and left the Youth Guards Corps. Qingqi went all the way and caught up with Agu Huaien's troops. Now Guo Laolan and the others may have just arrived in Langya." Gao Yuan let out a sigh of relief, "I only rest for a few hours a day after galloping all the way, so I'm so exhausted!"
"Your Majesty, you have worked hard." Yan Haibo said: "The situation is not too bad now. Commander He Lan is trapped in the Grand Canyon of Aya Gula. Drinking water is in danger.”
Gao Yuan nodded, turned around and patted He Lanyan on the shoulder lightly: "You heard me, you should rest assured now, He Lan survived such a difficult situation back then, what is this small difficulty now?" .”
"I know!" He Lanyan said softly, but her eyes turned red in a blink of an eye. She had no parents since she was a child, and it was almost He Lanxiong who pulled him up with one hand. The elder brother is like a father. Now He Lanxiong is facing danger. , how can she not be anxious, but in front of her subordinates, she can't show her feelings too much.
"Sit down, I want to know the specific situation on the grassland now!" Gao Yuan pointed to the surrounding chairs and said, then turned to He Lanyan and said: "Swallow, if you are tired, why don't you take a rest first? "
He Lanyan shook her head, "I'm not tired!"
Gao Yuan nodded and said: "Well, you can listen to it too."
"Little Yanzi, tell me, you are much more proficient than me in military affairs!" Wu Kai said to Yan Haibo.
Half an hour later, in Yan Haibo's narration, Gao Yuan finally had a thorough understanding of the current situation, and the situation is not as bad as he imagined.
"Your Majesty, ma'am, it's not that I don't want to rescue Commander Helan, it's because the defense of Jishi City must never be ignored, and I'm worried that Li Xin will make another move and use us to rescue Commander Helan When I was an official, I launched an attack on Jishi City. To be honest, I really didn't have the confidence to win the battle against Li Xin." Yan Haibo said a little shyly.
"This is not your problem, your decision with Master Wu is not wrong!" Gao Yuan waved his hand, "Jishi City must not be lost, the first priority is to defend Jishi City, then He Lan wants you to go all the way It is precisely based on this that you retreat to Jishi City. If you go out to save He Lan and fall into Li Xin's trap, then He Lan's painstaking efforts will be ruined. He fought Li Xin on the grassland. Is it just to buy time for you, so that you can return to Jishi City and do a good job in city defense? Little Yanzi, Lord Wu, don't think too much, whether it is me or Yanzi, I think your decision is not wrong. "
He Lanyan nodded slightly on one side.
"Thank you, ma'am, for your understanding!" Wu Kai cupped his fists and said, to be honest, he was not worried about He Lanyan's dissatisfaction at all, because Wu Kai's decision at that time did put He Lanxiong in danger.
"By the way, I forgot to tell you that the matter of Qi has been settled!" Gao Yuan picked up the teacup by the table and took a sip, "Bai Yucheng took down Linzi in one fell swoop, and then surprised Zhang In the Jiadian District, they attacked back and forth with Zheng Xiaoyang and wiped out more than 20,000 Chu troops in Bianyang. Finally, they used Tian Dagongzi and Qi Wang to lure Tian Jingwen out of Pinglu and wiped him out. After Wang and Tian Dagongzi both persuaded to surrender under the city of Pinglu, they led the last Qi army in Pinglu to open the city and surrender. Our big Han has already destroyed the Qi State. Now Bai Yucheng's Qilu Army, Meng Chong's Southern Field Army, and Zhang Hongyu's new First Army The three armies with a total of more than 100,000 troops have turned to attack Linyi. After taking Linyi, they will march straight into Chu State. King Huai of Chu wants to take advantage of me. This time I will let him pay for his wife Another soldier." Gao Yuan placed the teacup heavily on the table and made a loud bang.
"Great!" Both Wu Kai and Yan Haibo cheered in unison, and Wu Kai's beard was even more joyful, "In this way, the crisis we are currently facing has actually been resolved. Most of them have gone. According to King Huai of Chu's temperament, if he struggles a few times, most of the confidence he has finally built up will be dispelled. If we push him harder, his peace envoy will probably be on his way. "
"It's not that cheap." Gao Yuan snorted, "I have ordered Shangguan Hong to command the two infantry corps of the Young Guards Corps to attack the three counties of Han, and the Qin people will send these three counties to Chu State for exchange." The Chu people have sent troops, and the Chu people are not on a firm foothold at this time, so I want to take him over."
"Shangguan Hong went to the three counties of Han, what about Wei?" Wu Kai was taken aback.
"Ye Zhen also led the central group army to aid Wei. The goal I gave them was to be able to abide by the rules and not to retreat. We only need to delay the time as much as possible and wait for the end of our battle with the Chu people and the end of our battle with the Chu people. After the decisive battle on the grassland and the results of the battle between these two places, even if we lose Wei, the people of Qin will still obediently spit it out for me." Gao Yuan sneered." What's more, in Wei In the country, the infantry already has 30,000 newly formed troops of the Wei State. Zhou Changshou's more than 20,000 subordinates, plus his own 10,000 troops, make up 60,000 people. After Ye Zhen arrived here, in the Wei State we have already With an army of more than 100,000 people, Xu Yuan will also follow up, Meng Tian and Lu Chao want to swallow an army of more than 150,000 people, do they have the ability?"
"Meng Tian, Lu Chao?"
"Your concerns are good. Ye Zhen and Xu Yuan are indeed incomparable in their abilities, so my goal for them is to never waste a fight, and never fight a decisive battle with an opponent unless it is absolutely necessary. There is only one strategy , that is to defend, and then to procrastinate. Set up defense step by step, killing time with the opponent bit by bit." Gao Yuan smiled and said: "Okay, let's not talk about the situation over there, let's talk about this side, Mr. Wu, I I need 20,000 sets of Xiongnu herdsmen’s clothing, and I will give you three days to send them to Fufeng.”
Wu Kai's eyes widened, "Your Majesty, what do you want these herdsmen's clothes for?"
Yan Haibo on the side suddenly realized, "Your Majesty, are you trying to trick Li Xin?"
Gao Yuan laughed, "Li Xin bullied the herdsmen who made trouble with him on the grassland without military training and without a unified command. What kind of face will he have when commanding the Donghu Cavalry Independent Division? I will wipe out all his cavalry. Then I will slowly clear up Li Xin's large infantry without cavalry cover on the grassland Army, God of War? Humph, this time I will let him fall from the altar!"
"The king has experienced hundreds of battles and has never been defeated. What kind of war **** is Li Xin? Let him become a stepping stone for the king this time!" Yan Haibo laughed.
Gao Yuan smiled slightly, "The commander of the Overwatch Council branch in Jishi County, I remember his name is Tang He, call him here, I have something to tell him!"
"Yes!"
A moment later, Tang He trotted all the way into the lobby, "Commander of the Branch of the Overwatch Council stationed in Jishi County, I have met the King!"
"Tang He, send out all the people you can to contact the herdsmen who are fighting on the grassland." Gao Yuan said: "If I want to give Li Xin a big surprise, this time I have to rely on the strength of these righteous people What!" (to be continued)
