I’m The King Chapter 1138: : Carry on the past and open up the future (28)

Jicheng, the Yamen of the Ministry of War, and the General Staff Division, there was deathly silence. More than a dozen staff officers stood against the wall, all of them watching their noses, their noses and their hearts, not daring to take a breath. One person seemed to want to He wanted to cough and wash, but he covered his mouth with all his might, his face was flushed with suffocation. The originally spacious staff office was now full of big figures, and the person sitting in front of the huge sand table in the middle of the room was the king of the Han Kingdom. High and far.

The terrain above the sand table is around Pengcheng, but now it is filled with flags of all sizes. The blue ones represent the Chu army, the red ones represent the big Han, and now the blue flags representing the Chu army are filled with the sand table. , and the red flag was surrounded by groups.

"Let's talk about the specific situation!" Gao Yuan looked at the flags in the sand table, and there was no joy or anger on his face, but those who knew him well knew that Gao Yuan's expression represented that he was really very angry.

Ye Zhong glanced at Zhao Yi'an, the chief of the staff department. Zhao Yi'an was one of the first batch of outstanding students who graduated from the staff department. After graduation, he was sent to the Qilu Army in Bai Yucheng. After all the battles of Qi State, after Qi State was acquired by the big man, Zhao Yi'an was also transferred back to the Ministry of War, and was promoted to the Director of the Staff Department due to his meritorious service.

"Your Majesty, according to the information we have received, the new First Army was surrounded by the Chu army in Sixi and Pengcheng. As far as the current situation is concerned, the loss of the New First Army is only Dong Zhuang, the third division. In addition, the first and second divisions and the army headquarters have not yet suffered a fatal blow. The Chu army formed a triangular stable ambush circle at three points: Pengcheng, Tucheng, and Sixi, and assembled more than 100,000 people. All of them are the main force of the Chu army. The commander is Qu Wan who was once defeated by us in Qi." Zhao Yi'an pointed on the sand table with a wicker pole in his hand.

"That is to say, with their own strength, they are powerless to break through." Gao Yuan said in a deep voice.

"Yes." Zhao Yi'an said with a serious face, "The Chu army's defense line is very thick, and its military strength is twice that of mine. What's more, the new first army has fallen into the opponent's trap, and one hour has passed. It's the month, and their food and grass are already in short supply, and the army has no food, so their hearts are unstable."

Gao Yuan turned his head and looked at Ye Zhong, "Who is the nearest army to them?"

"Your Majesty, the nearest army to them is Xu Yuan's Northern Field Army Group, but Xu Yuan has just sent an urgent report that the Qin general Tan Feng who is opposite him has dispatched troops for a while, and there is a great possibility of a large-scale attack. Intention, he may not be able to deploy troops to rescue them." Ye Zhong said: "Bai Yucheng is too far away from them, I am afraid that when Bai Yucheng arrives, the new army will not die in battle, and will starve to death."

"Sure enough!" Gao Yuan closed his eyes slightly." Qin Chu really colluded with each other, and this matter was a big trap from the beginning, okay, okay, I underestimated the heroes of the world, from the beginning From the beginning, they were counting us, but our eyes were covered by underestimation and pride, and we did not see clearly the real purpose of the enemy's series of actions."

"Your Majesty, this is the dereliction of duty of the subjects." Ye Zhong said in a low voice.

Gao Yuan smiled, "The negligence of the courtiers is not due to my negligence." He stood up slowly, looking deeply at the red flags surrounded in the middle, those small red flags It seems that they have turned into big soldiers one by one, struggling hard under the enemy's attack and the threat of hunger.

It was a huge conspiracy from the very beginning, and now Gao Yuan finally figured out the cause and effect.

Since Tan Feng started planning to kidnap Mao Wei, this conspiracy began to unfold step by step.

In this era when cold weapons are king, with the earth-shattering explosion of Kangping City, it announced the official appearance of new weapons on this continent. It immediately attracted everyone's attention. At this time, whether the people of Qin or the people of Chu are trying to devise all kinds of tricks, it is completely predictable that they want to get such a big killer.

Tan Feng kidnapped Mao Wei, an extremely important researcher of the Yizhen Research Institute, successfully attracted everyone's attention, and also completely attracted the intelligence agencies of the Han Kingdom. The Overwatch Council invested a lot of manpower and material resources, Wanting to take Mao Wei back or kill him to protect the interests of the Han Kingdom, such a large-scale investment also made them ignore other messages.

In the second step, in order to escape the pursuit of the Han people, the Qin people took the Chu country, and the two parties who cooperated sincerely in advance seemed to have a problem. Mao Wei was detained by the Chu people in Jiangzhong County, and the Qin general Zhou Yu immediately raised his troops brazenly, defeated the Chu army in Suizhou in one fell swoop, and occupied Suizhou of Chu State.

Qin and Chu seem to have turned against each other because of the huge temptation of explosives. This is the second step for Qin and Chu to successfully confuse the Han Dynasty. Qin sent troops, and Chu responded to Qin's sudden invasion in order to regain Suizhou. To mobilize, dispatch troops on a large scale, Gao Yuan still clearly remembers that when he was in the palace, he shook his head and said to Jing'er, "Fortune comes when misfortune rests on it, and misfortune comes when blessings come to rest. Thinking about it now, it's really ridiculous The Chu people are dispatching troops on a large scale, not to deal with the Qin people, but to target themselves.

The sudden hostility between Qin and Chu successfully attracted the attention of the Han Kingdom, and also aroused my own greed. With the mind of making great achievements, Zhang Hongyu wants to take Pengcheng and separate Xuzhou from the mainland of Chu.

Qin Chu's calculations are not only military calculations, but also people's hearts.

As for the Han Kingdom, from Gaoyuan himself to civil servants and military generals, all of them have been counted by the opponent.

"Since then, I dare not underestimate the heroes of the world!" Gao Yuan sighed. Although there were some ups and downs since he started his army, on the whole, it was smooth sailing, and he basically didn't suffer too many setbacks and tribulations. This was my first complete failure, and it ruined my entire front army.

When everyone thought that what Qin Chu wanted was the explosive that the Han Kingdom had just successfully researched, what the other party wanted was a big victory over the Han Kingdom.

The goal of the Chu people has been achieved. They successfully surrounded the new army and put it in a desperate situation. The destruction of the Wan army will greatly change the balance of power between Han and Chu on the border, and Chu finally got a chance to breathe.

As the ally of the Chu people, Qin State, in this conspiracy, not only got Mao Wei, but more importantly, the success of the Chu people will make the big Han have to turn more eyes to the big country in the south , re-deploying troops to achieve a strategic balance with the Chu people is a measure that has to be taken.

The Great Han Kingdom has set its sights on the Chu State, and the Qin people will also have the opportunity to recuperate during the aggressive offensive of the Han State. The Han Dynasty will mobilize troops to the Han-Chu border, and the pressure on the Qin people will inevitably decrease.

I have to say that this time Qin Chu's strategy has achieved unprecedented success.

"Your Majesty, the new army is now facing a desperate situation, but what makes me puzzled is why the Chu army, which has gained an absolute advantage on the battlefield, did not take the offensive. They just besieged our army. Could it be that they want to Let our army starve to death or wait for our army to surrender?" Zhao Yi'an said with some anxiety, if the new army is forced to surrender, it will be an absolutely unbearable blow to the morale of the entire Han Kingdom's army.

Gao Yuan is known as the undefeated God of War. He has experienced hundreds of battles and has never lost once. But now it seems that this title will be dead.

"They are waiting for us to negotiate and negotiate with them. They will not launch an attack and completely annihilate the new army." Gao Yuan stretched out his hand and pulled out the flags on the sand table one by one I got up and threw it into a corner.

"The Chu people are very clear-headed. They will not launch a final attack on the new army. If they really wipe out the new army, they will lose the cost of negotiating with us. So they just besieged, but It's not an attack." Gao Yuan pulled out all the flags, turned around, and looked at Yizheng Wu Qi behind him: "Wu Yizheng, I will work hard for you to make a trip and start negotiations with Chu State."

"Yes, Your Majesty, what is the bottom line of our negotiation?" Wu Qi asked with a bow.

"My bottom line is to bring back all the living soldiers of the New First Army. As for the other parts, you can talk about it." Gao Yuan waved his hand and said.

"What if the opponent has territorial claims?" Wu Qi hesitated for a moment, but still asked.

"This is conceivable. They must have requirements in this regard. We want their Pengcheng, and they want our Suiyang. If Suiyang is occupied, Pengcheng will have no worries. So Suiyang wants to give Theirs, in addition, we can also retreat from Daba Mountain and return to Linyi!" Gao Yuan said: "Give them whatever they want, and I only want my soldiers to come back."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I understand!" Wu Qi bowed and said, Gao Yuan gave him great autonomy and bottom line, as for how to talk about it, to what extent, it depends on his ability.

"You all go out, I want to be alone!" Looking at the sand table that has been completely emptied by himself, Gao Yuan waved his hand.

"Your Majesty!" Ye Zhong took a step forward, wanting to say a few words of persuasion.

"Get out!" Gao Yuan didn't turn his head, but just emphasized his tone and repeated it.

Ye Zhong sighed silently, waved at the staff officers by the wall, and was the first to step out of the gate of the staff department. After a while, all the people left the house, and the door was silent After closing the door, Gao Yuan was the only one left in the house.

"My lord, is this really the case? Negotiating with the Chu people, isn't this a soft surrender to the opponent? If all the cavalry in Beijing are mobilized, they can arrive at the battlefield in less than ten days. There is no chance of redemption!" Zhao Yi'an looked at Ye Zhong and asked in a low voice.

"The things you can see, can't the king not see it? But in this way, the tens of thousands of soldiers of the new army will be finished. After we send troops, the Chu people will immediately launch a decisive battle against them. Do you think the new army still has the power to fight?"

"But as long as Pengcheng is captured, the Chu army will still be defeated." Zhao Yi'an emphasized.

"If you give up the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers of the new army in exchange for victory, the king will never do it. The king said earlier that if you lose land, you will save people, and everyone will gain land. Everyone is lost, and you are safe, you are now the chief of the staff department of the Ministry of War, and a senior general of the Ministry of War, you must firmly remember this sentence of the king."

"Yes, my subordinates have written it down." (to be continued...)
