Chapter 158 Self-defense counterattack
Xiang Yu didn't know what was going on when he charged into the battle. He always felt like he was fighting Liu Bang from the past, but it didn't feel like it. Lu Guang's momentum made him feel for a moment that it was Liu Bang himself.
Although Liu Bang's wars were basically fought in the east and west, he himself once personally directed the battles in direct confrontation with Xiang Yu. When he was defeated, he only won by regrouping and then competing with Xiang Yu.
"Lü Guang, you are somewhat interesting to me." Xiang Yu murmured, staring at Lu Guang on the tower in front of him with his passionate eyes.
Due to Zhang Bin's misjudgment, the soldiers and horses in the city were unable to leave the city to fight Xiang Yu, and could only rely on this tall city to defend.
The capital direction had already begun a large-scale offensive against Murong Huang. Gao Siji and the Wang brothers immediately launched an attack on the camps of Murong Huang and Murong Chui.
After the reward and punishment mechanism was distributed to all ministries, all the soldiers used the highest morale to kill the generals and seize the flag. They rushed thousands of miles away and defeated Murong Huang and Murong Chui's army to half ashes in less than fifteen minutes.
Good news came frequently, and Feng Hao, who was sitting in the camp, could not help but smile as he listened to the good news of victory one after another.
"Okay, okay, okay! Inform the whole army that they fought well in this battle. After the battle is over, I will personally work for the army." The smile on Feng Hao's face has infected the soldiers in the entire camp, and he told them that it would be good to finish the battle.
Wine and meat are served.
While Feng Hao was happy, Wang Meng reminded: "Your Majesty, the border came to report, Zhang Bin made a mistake in judgment, Lu Guang sent troops to fight Xiang Yu without authorization, and suffered heavy losses. Lu Guang himself was seriously injured, and now the command is in Zhang Gui's hands."
This news made Feng Hao feel that there was a fly in the ointment. He had been telling them Xiang Yu not to fight before, but he just refused to listen. Now, Lu Guang was seriously injured and the entire army suffered heavy losses.
Feng Hao, who had just been happy, suddenly turned dark. He said, "How much troops have been lost?"
Wang Meng said based on the number reported by the narrative in front: "More than six thousand people."
This is not a small number. This is easy to say for more than 6,000 people. What will happen to their families?
Feng Hao turned around and pointed at Wang Meng and said hurriedly: "Tell the front line not to act without authorization, not to take the initiative to fight with Xiang Yu, and not to let the soldiers in this city die in vain! Just say that I, Feng Hao, begged them.
"
This time Feng Hao really couldn't afford to fight the battle with Xiang Yu. He nominally led more than 30,000 people, but he didn't know that these 30,000 people could be worth the 300,000 people in Zhao's entire army.
Furthermore, Xiang Yu personally led the army. His subordinates Zhong Limei, Wanyan Zongbi, Wanyan Zonghan and Han Yanshou were not ordinary people. They were all famous generals. Under his command were not only the Chu cavalry, but also the kidnap horses brought by Wanyan Zongbi.
There is no need to mention the outcome of this field battle involving these two large cavalry forces.
Seeing Feng Hao's desperate expression, Wang Meng also looked helpless. He nodded and took out his cell phone to issue Feng Hao's military order to Zhang Bin and Zhang Gui.
"Your Majesty's military order, no one is allowed to go out of the city to directly engage Xiang Yu, no one is allowed to make any decision to go to war, and no more unnecessary sacrifices are allowed! The above three articles are strictly observed, and those who do not comply will be killed without mercy."
After finishing the attack, Wang Meng slumped down on his chair with his head facing the roof of the tent. What he was thinking about now was how to break this game.
The Song Dynasty has sent Cao Bin to camp in the north of Xuan County, and Xiang Yu has taken the initiative to launch a fierce attack on Zhao State. Li Zicheng is now wandering behind Anyi County. Now he is waiting for everything here to be resolved, and his troops are divided into two groups to fully support the two sides.
fighting.
"Do you think we can win?" Feng Hao's eyes flashed with tears. He had already reached this point and could not look back.
Wang Meng shook his head. It was difficult for him to overestimate the performance of various countries. The purpose of these people was to make Zhao State a supporting country that could help them conquer the north and south in the future. This was different from the puppet Manchuria that was supported during the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China.
What is the difference between countries?
"I have read the historical data about modern times. Our current situation is no different from that of the last emperor Puyi. We have both nominally and practically, but fundamentally? We are still constrained by powerful countries and cannot accomplish anything on our own.
Things you can do yourself.”
Cannons, muskets, weapons, agriculture, etc. are all technologies and things borrowed from the Ming Dynasty and Song Dynasty. Of course, they have to be borrowed and returned, and their active help will bring a more serious burden to them. In the future, the Zhao Kingdom
If it really stepped onto the world stage as a big country, the Ming Dynasty would also ask Zhao for the interest for that year as a superpower.
This is not just a competition between countries, but also a struggle for interests between countries.
"We can make a choice now. The alliance relationship can be carried out, but we must not ask for material assistance. We can learn from them in terms of technology, but we must be self-sufficient in terms of material."
It can be seen from the attitude of the Song Dynasty in sending Cao Bin to send troops to the border. Zhao Kuangyin wanted to test the attitude of Zhao State and also wanted to test their strength to see if they were supporting the right people.
"Your Majesty, I have always thought that you had some unknown transactions with the Ming Emperor. Now I should know." Su Shi came out and said to Zhao Kuangyin.
Zhao Kuangyin looked at Su Shi interestingly and asked, "What unknown transactions do I have? Tell me about it."
Su Shi looked at the ministers around him. They all stood up to support Su Shi and asked Su Shi to speak boldly.
"Is your deal with Zhu Yuanzhang to support Zhao State and use Zhao State to become anyone's sword and kill for them?"
It was rare that Zhao Kuangyin finally admitted what he did. He nodded and admitted the authenticity of the matter. Zhao Kuangyin was just a product of his consultation with Ming Dynasty, Qin Dynasty and Han Dynasty.
Previously, Feng Hao's founding of the country in the Huaizhou area was their work, and the initiative to provide them with assistance was also the result of their joint discussion. The victory in the war was also the result of Zhao State. This series of chain reactions were all aimed at making Zhao State theirs.
knife.
Xin Qiji stepped forward and said indignantly: "Your Majesty, Feng Hao is a man with potential. If you do this, it is very likely that Zhao will be completely out of our control in the next few years, causing them to be like Gou Jian, the king of Yue."
But Zhao Kuangyin doesn't think so. This young man has not experienced the vicissitudes of history and has not looked at things from the perspective of an ancient person. All the achievements he has now were given by them. Which one is Feng Hao's?
What did you really do?
"If I immediately cut off any aid to Zhao State and launch an all-out war against it, it won't be a problem to capture Zhao State within three months. I can even chop off Feng Hao's head in one month! It won't be surprising."
They were not speaking for Feng Hao, but they were a little ashamed of Zhao Kuangyin's behavior.
