I’m The King Chapter 1378: : The Han Banner World (Sixty-seven) is suspicious and happy

Mingtai stepped into Zhou Yu's camp with brisk steps. After hesitating in Xingping for a few days, Zhou Yu still left the camp and marched towards Xianyang under Yingying's king's order. After five days, he arrived at the outskirts of Xianyang. Set up a big camp and formed a corner with Xianyang. What puzzled Zhou Yu was that Lu Chao didn't respond to such a situation that was obviously extremely unfavorable to him. Withdrew some distance.

Could it be that Lu Chao wanted to gather all the forces opposing him under the city of Xianyang, and then gather and annihilate him all at once? The question is, where does Lu Chao get his confidence? In Xianyang City, the combat effectiveness of the 30,000 Xuanyi Guards has always been superior to all other armies, even the frontier army led by him is not inferior to the Hangu Pass Frontier Army. Now the two sides have almost equal numbers of troops, but the imperial court occupies The advantages of the home field, the several large granaries in Xianyang City and the artisan camps concentrated here can ensure the logistics of the imperial army, but Lu Chao has to transport supplies from thousands of miles, even if all the counties along the way surrender+pig+ Pig+Island+novel ww.zhom Lu Chao, but they can provide food and grass, but not armaments. Even the most common arrows, Lu Chao has to transport them from Hangu Pass.

Zhou Yu was puzzled and couldn't figure out the key point here. It would be fine if Lu Chao was a mediocre general, but the ability this person has shown over the years is not at this level at all. There must be something strange here. Zhou Yu, who can't figure out the joints here, has become a lot more emaciated in the past few days. The two sides are fighting. Great hidden danger.

"General Zhou commanded his troops well. When Ming entered the barracks, the chill and fierce aura rushed over his face, which made people suffocate!" Mingtai clasped his fists with both hands, bowed to Zhou Yu, and said with a smile.

"Commander Ming was joking. Compared with Xuanyiwei, Zhou's subordinates think they are far behind. Even the black ice platform's action team is far superior to Zhou's troops." Zhou Yu Return the gift and invite Mingtai to enter the tent of the Chinese army.

"As soon as General Zhou arrived, the bandits were not far from death, and the king's hanging heart was finally relieved." Mingtai smiled and said: "To be honest, since the bandits raised their troops, Your Majesty has been unable to sleep at night. , I don’t know what to eat.”

"Lu Chao is a rebellious minister and traitor, going against the trend, naturally it will not last long. I just don't know what the king thinks?" Zhou Yu asked, it would be fine if Ying Ying didn't know the soldiers, the problem is that the king was born and also served in the army Those who came out of it were no strangers to the army.

"Your Majesty wants to fight the bandits in a dignified manner, what does General Zhou think?" Mingtai asked. "In fact, the king is also making preparations for this."

Zhou Yu pondered for a while, "Commander Ming, is there a sentence that I don't know if I should say it or not?"

"Of course I can. Your Majesty sent Ming here. He just wanted to hear General Zhou's opinion." Mingtai said with certainty.

"Lu Chao entered the army from Hangu Pass, and the momentum along the way was like a broken bamboo. All the places watched the wind and surrendered, and the bandit army went smoothly. Now the limelight is strong and the morale is high, but our army has been suppressed. The morale is not as good as the opponent's Yes. In a decisive battle with the enemy at this time, the odds of victory and defeat can only be said to be 50-50." Zhou Yu said, in fact, it was in Zhou Yu's heart. At this time, a decisive battle with Lu Chao was launched, and the number of winners and losers was probably four or six or even three or seven. There has been no war for many years, and Xuanyiwei has fought even fewer battles. Looking back at the most recent battle of Xuanyiwei, it was the one between Xuanyiwei led by Qin Wulie and Zhao Guozhao Mu at Hangu Pass more than ten years ago. battle. But in that battle, Xuanyiwei suffered heavy losses, and a large number of veterans died. Although the newly recruited soldiers were selected from the best, they were not honed by the flames of war. Wei An is not so reassuring.

"What does General Zhou mean?" Mingtai asked.

"We have the strong city of Xianyang to rely on. Naturally, we must maximize this advantage. Xuanyi guards the city, and our troops are on the outside. If we grow long and lose a lot, the morale of the army will inevitably be damaged, and they are not as convenient as us in replenishing food, grass and armaments. We only need to spend a little more time with them, and the number of victories and losses will be deflected to our side. One."

Mingtai nodded slightly.

"Secondly, we should not only look at the result of this battle, but also consider the two countries of Han and Chu. The Han people are indeed standing still, but it does not mean that they are not prepared. The speed of the Han army's troops is far behind. It is not comparable to us. Once they make up their minds to send troops, they can dispatch hundreds of thousands of troops in a very short period of time. As for Chu, they have already started. Zhou led his troops to leave, and the south is empty. We have sent a large-scale army, and almost all of our southern borders have fallen. Therefore, in this battle, what we have to consider is not only to win, but also to preserve our strength as much as possible. The day when the road robbers decide the winner, it will also be the time for our Great Qin to perish."

"General Zhou's words are very true. After I go back, I will naturally relay General Zhou's words to the king. Maybe the king will call General Zhou into the palace to ask for advice. General Zhou, please be prepared. .” Mingtai stood up.

"Thank you Commander Ming, by the way, Commander Ming, Heibingtai is well informed, what's the current situation at Yingchuan?" Zhou Yu asked.

"Hey!" Mingtai sneered, "Tan Feng has a good idea. He wants to take advantage of the chaos on our side to take Wulong and Tai'an and expand his territory, but he doesn't want Han The army took advantage of it, his old nest Yingchuan was copied by the Han army, and Wulong was also lost. This person is now huddled in Tai'an, and the Han army has forced him up. He is a rabbit whose tail can't grow any longer. .”

Listening to Mingtai's words, Zhou Yu couldn't help feeling sad. Now that Daqin's hearts are scattered, the two hungry wolves of Han and Chu have already pounced on the sick tiger that is biting Daqin fiercely. Even if Xianyang wins this battle, it will be difficult for him to move forward.

"I wonder if your majesty has any orders?" Zhou Yu asked.

"This time the bandits rebelled, the Great Qin was silent, and there were very few kings who raised their troops. Only General Zhou did not hesitate, and the whole army came. The king was very moved, so General Zhou, your promotion is just around the corner. As far as I know, you will soon become the Marquis of our Great Qin."

"Huh?" Zhou Yu was a little surprised.

"Xingping Hou, the food town is in the Xingping County you just conquered, and the whole county is your food town for the general!" Mingtai showed envy, "In addition, in order to commend the general For the righteous deeds of your subordinates, Wang Shang specially allowed the general to bring 3,000 soldiers into the city of Xianyang to be inspected by the king. The general will personally reward these soldiers with silver, and give them new armor and weapons."

"This, this in itself is not something that Zhou Yu should be responsible for. The king values ​​it so much, but it makes Zhou Yu terrified." Zhou Yu was not too excited in his heart. At that time, it was a happy event, but now, even if he was named Marquis, so what?

"When all horses are silent, General Zhou's actions are eye-catching. The icing on the cake is nothing, but the charcoal in the snow is still fresh in people's memory. These days, the king always sighs that it takes a long time to see people's hearts. I have wronged you, General, for so many years!" Ming Tai said with a smile.

"Zhou was ordered to guard the south, with tens of thousands of elite soldiers and generals under his command, why should he be wronged! Commander Ming please reply to the king. One day later, the final general will lead three thousand sons into the city for review."

Mingtai laughed and stood up, "That's it. The mission of Ming's coming out of the city is considered complete. General Zhou, you might as well choose the soldiers who will enter the city in three days. You can choose those who are strong. The king is delighted to see such a strong man."

"Natural!" Zhou Yu said with a smile.

As soon as Mingtai left, all the generals in the tent gathered around to congratulate Zhou Yu. In Daqin, it was not an easy task to become a Marquis. You had to make special contributions. Now that Zhou Yu was granted the title, Naturally, these generals will not be pulled down, at least they will climb up two levels above the dismissal. Although there is no practical meaning, at least their salaries will be much higher. More importantly, this battle After the victory, Zhou Yu, who has made great contributions, will definitely be reused, and it is not difficult for them, each town is not difficult. Looking at the whole of Daqin, there are really no people who are stronger than Zhou Yu in terms of qualifications. The people Zhou Yu stood shoulder to shoulder with almost all became rebels. The only up-and-comer, Bai Qi, is still entangled with the peasant uprising army in Nanyang County, but this time he has not made an inch of success. Even if he has the trust of King Qin, he has no way to match Zhou Yu's wrist with his hands.

Because they are Meng Tian's subordinates~IndoMTL.com~ They have been suppressed for many years, and now they finally see the dawn of turning around, how can they not be happy?

"The reward for entering the city this time is a rare reward for us Daqin soldiers. As far as Zhou knows, when the first king was in power, he conquered all directions and expanded the territory. Such rewards are nothing more than a few This time, so this time there are 3,000 people, 1,000 from the central army, and the remaining 2,000, each department selects its manpower, let each department send a few hundred people!" Looking at the excited subordinates, Zhou Yu simply Come to a rain and dew.

"Thank you, Lord Hou!" All the generals were overjoyed. If Zhou Yu only brought people from his central army, they would have nothing to say about such a thing. Now that Zhou Yu is willing to share this opportunity with his subordinates equally, everyone can naturally take the opportunity to show their faces to their confidant soldiers.

Just when Zhou Yu's troops began to select manpower and gathered the latest armor, weapons, and war horses for these people, Lu Chao's central army tent, which was more than ten miles away from Zhou Bu's camp, was full of people. With a smile on his face, he said to a spy who rushed over from Xianyang City: "Go back and tell your master, just say that I know everything, and everything is going according to his plan."

Watching the spies out of the tent, Lu Chao stood up: "Generals, make the final preparations for the siege. Tomorrow, we will conquer Xianyang City and complete our first goal." (To be continued.)
