Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2721: The Fall of Maodun and the Chaos of Yuan Meng

"Okay, isn't it just a release of the Qiang Order?"

Seeing that all the generals under his command were filled with righteous indignation, and there was an attitude that he would not give up if he did not agree, but Li Jing said: "The Qiang people can be destroyed in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, so why can't we destroy the Qiang people? At worst, we can destroy the Qiang people once more. .”

All the generals were stunned for a moment, and then calmed down.

That's right, the Sui and Tang Dynasties joined forces to destroy the Qiang people. My Great Qin is ten times stronger than the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Can it still be destroyed?
Seeing that everyone was quiet, Li Jing was also secretly relieved. He could understand the anger in the hearts of the generals, but it was absolutely impossible to attack Daxing by force.

Daxing is the number one fortified city in Liangzhou, with a large number of defenders and abundant supplies. The price of a strong attack is too high. It is impossible to attack without spending three or four months and killing 4 to [-] people. of.

In all the current battles of Daqin, except for Jiangling City, which paid such a high price, there is no second city that has this honor.

It was precisely because of this that Li Jing first set up a trap to trap the dragon, and then decided to attack the heart, intending to break the city at the lowest cost.

According to Li Jing's plan, after Daxing has completely become an isolated city, if it cooperates with the strategy of attacking the heart, the interior will definitely be unstable in at most half a month, and Daxing will be easily broken under the internal and external attacks.

As for whether Yang Guang can resolve this situation, to be honest, Li Jing is not worried at all. He has full confidence in his trapped dragon situation, but he did not expect Yang Guang's dying struggle to be much more powerful than he expected, but in the end it was just drinking poison to quench his thirst That's all.

After thinking up to this point, not only was Li Jing not worried at all, but he was looking forward to whether Yang Guang would have other tricks. If he was at the end of his rope, wouldn't it be boring.

Shaking his head and dispelling distracting thoughts, Li Jing continued: "Although the Sui and Tang Dynasties wiped out the Qiang people, it was just a coincidence. The seven counties of Haizhou left too many hidden dangers, and the conflicts between Han and Qiang continued.

Now that Yang Guang is using the Qiang people as a backing for himself, Daqin just took this opportunity to clean up the Qiang people in Haizhou again, and wipe out the Qiang people again thoroughly, leaving a Haizhou without hidden dangers for future generations , wouldn't it be great. "

"The governor is right. I, Daqin, want to completely wipe out the Qiang, so as not to leave hidden dangers for future generations."

As soon as Li Mucai opened his mouth, all the generals echoed one after another, and now the atmosphere changed from the indignation and scolding just now to the fervor of wanting to destroy the Qiang again.

"According to the information sent back from Xining, Tubo general Lun Qinling has led a hundred thousand Tubo troops to join Yang Xingmi and Yang Xiong's Sui troops.

The major Qiang forces in Haizhou have also recruited [-] to [-] troops, and they are still growing rapidly. It is estimated that there will be no less than [-].

In other words, the total number of the three coalition forces of Sui, Qiang, Tubo in Haizhou may reach 27. "

Although Li Jing said so, his face was indifferent, as if he didn't care about the 27 enemy troops at all.

But after the generals heard this, they were shocked in their hearts. They obviously didn't expect that the Sui Kingdom was about to die, and they could still gather 27 coalition troops.

The Yongliang Qin army finally fought a battle of wealth, but under Yang Guang's manipulation, they lost their absolute superiority in strength.

Li Mu saw the worries in the hearts of the generals, and said confidently: "Although the three coalition forces of the Sui, Qiang, and Tubo families have many troops, they are nothing more than mobs.

The army of [-] Qiang people are all recruits, how much combat power can they have?The combat power of the Tubo army was even weaker, and only the [-] Sui army was worthy of a battle.

From the general point of view, the more the three coalition forces, the better it is for us.

Not to mention that the coalition army is only 27, even if it is 72, it is by no means my opponent, Daqin, they will only be the meritorious service in my credit book. "

Li Jing said with a rare smile: "General Li Mu is right. Although the three coalition forces have many troops, most of them are weak troops. The combat power of our army is enough to defeat them. Let these barbarians show us this time. Qin Jun is amazing."

Hearing what Li Mu and Li Jing said, all the generals present were also relieved. Although there are 27 people, they still can't scare them who often fight tough battles.

The current strength of the Qin army is divided into four parts: Li Jing and Li Mu lead 11 troops to encircle Daxing; Longyang Li Maozhen leads [-] troops to attack Wuwei County; Guard Xianmei City.

On the surface, the distribution of troops of the Qin army is extremely scattered. It is not as good as the Sui army's concentration of 27 troops in Haizhou alone. vitality.

This forced Yang Guang to implement the Qiang Order to continue the life of the Sui Kingdom.

In fact, the war against the Sui Dynasty has progressed to this point, and the focus of the war is no longer on Daxing, but has been transferred to Haizhou.

Daxing is easy to defend and difficult to attack, with too many casualties in a strong attack, and it is difficult to forcefully attack in a short period of time, but Haizhou has gathered 27 coalition forces from the three Sui, Qiang, and Tubo families.

At this time, whether Daqin can break through Daxing is no longer so important, but defeating the Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms is the most important thing in this battle.

As long as the 27 Sui, Qiang, and Tubo coalition forces can be defeated and the hope of Daxing City completely cut off, Daxing, which is about to be completely reduced to an isolated city, will feel ashamed without fighting.

That's why Li Jing was still not going to attack Daxing by force, but was going to defeat the three coalition forces in Haizhou first, completely cut off Yang Guang's last hope, and then eat the fat of Daxing without bloodshed.

The total strength of the three coalition forces in Haizhou is as high as 27. With Meng Tian's ability, he may be able to win this battle with only [-] troops, but the casualties will definitely be greater.

What's more, it's not that the Qin army has no spare power to give Meng Tian military support.

The Qin army still has 11 troops under Daxing City, and some of them can be transferred to support Meng Tian.

As for the [-] troops in Wuwei County, they must not be transferred away until Wuwei is completely occupied. After all, a complete capture is related to the plan to completely isolate Daxing.

"The attack on Daxing is mainly based on attacking the heart, and the second is to attack the city, so the governor is going to drop some of his troops to support Meng..."

Before Li Jing finished speaking, a soldier urgently sent a report: "Report... to the governor, Hezhou [-] Li hastened. Lu has publicly rebelled against the Yuan Dynasty, and now he has led an army of [-] to Liangzhou, and will soon arrive at Xianmei City."

"what?"

Li Jing couldn't help being startled, then frowned slightly, and said, "It seems that Yelu Shilu's [-] army is Yang Guang's last trump card."

Li Jing was still thinking just now, did Yang Guang have any other tricks, and if so, what would it be?

Li Jing thought a lot, and even guessed that Yang Guang might recall Yang Shuang's army, but he never thought that Yelu Shilu in Moxi would rebel against Yuanmeng.

But after thinking about it carefully, Li Jing discovered the problem, and chuckled lightly: "Kublai Khan really spent a lot of money this time in order to support the Sui Kingdom."

In the previous battle, although Yuanmeng was severely injured by the Great Qin, it was not weak enough to allow the Moxi tribe to defect. However, Yelu Shilu was able to lead an army of [-] to defect. This must be because of Kublai Khan's intentional connivance.

"In order to unify Yuanmeng, Kublai Khan ignored my Daqin's warning many times. Even though he was taught a lesson a year ago, he lost his memory so soon."

Hearing what Li Jing said, Li Mu said with a serious face: "At the beginning, Kublai Khan should not have been released back to the country. This person's threat is no less than that of Temujin."

Li Mu's evaluation of Kublai Khan was very high, but he was completely worthy of Kublai Khan. After all, the threat he posed to Great Qin was already greater than that of Cao Cao, Yang Guang and other Central Plains princes.

"By the way, the governor, Yelu Shilu's 3 yuan Mongolian rebel army is about to arrive in Xianmei City, and General Longqie will face Gao Huan and Yelu Shilu's two groups at the same time.

General Longqie has only [-] troops under his command, and his troops are a bit weak, and Xianmei City is extremely critical. Should we give priority to sending more troops to Xiancheng?

Or to suspend the attack on Wuwei County, and transfer the army to attack Wuwei back to Xianmei City? "

Li Mu opened his mouth to suggest something, but after Li Jing thought about it, he didn't accept any of them.

"The strategy of Wuwei is very important, and it must not be stopped. Besides, Xianmei City is different from Xining City. There are only a few thousand people in Xianmei City. If there is no internal trouble, General Longqi's [-] army and sufficient supplies , is enough to hold for a year and a half, so there is no need to increase troops."

Li Jing still felt that Haizhou was more important, so he decided to give priority to solving the three coalition forces in Haizhou, but unexpectedly, unexpected news came one after another.

"Report... to the governor, Chang'an [-] li to hurry up. While inspecting the Ulan tribe, Mao Dun was ambushed by unknown forces and died. The thousand guards accompanying him were also wiped out."

"What? Mao Dun died?"

Hearing this news, not only Li Jing and Li Mu, but everyone present was shocked. After all, Mao Dun was a life-saving person, but he was ambushed in his own territory?This is obviously a trap specifically aimed at Maodun.

"Modun should be the commander of Yuanmeng who made the best use of cavalry besides Temujin, but he didn't die on the battlefield, but died in the power struggle within Yuanmeng."

After Li Jing sighed, he asked, "Modun's death must have something to do with Kublai Khan. What happened to Yuanmeng after his death?"

"After Mao Dun's death, Jun Chen and Yi Zhixie both wanted to inherit his throne, and the two sides were at odds over this, but Kublai Khan took this opportunity to send troops on a large scale. Jun Chen and Yi Zhixie were forced to join forces, and civil war broke out again in Yuanmeng .”

After hearing this, Li Jing immediately understood why the news came from Chang'an. After all, although Maodun was dead, his power was still there, and he was still an ally with Daqin. Kublai Khan attacked Daqin's allies again. Daqin must have something to say.

Wu Qi wanted to tell him to suspend the increase of troops to Haizhou first, so as to wait for the reaction of the DPRK and China on this matter.

On the issue of the unification of Yuan and Mongolia, Daqin has always held opposing opinions, and even did not hesitate to directly send troops to intervene, which is why the previous battle of leaving the fortress occurred.

Now that Maodun has fallen, and the civil war between Yuan and Mongolia has resumed, only the military officials and Yi Zhixie are obviously impossible to be Kublai Khan's opponents.

This time Kublai Khan's determination to unify Yuanmeng is unprecedentedly strong. If Daqin wants to prevent Yuanmeng unification again, the garrisons in Binghe and Hezhou may not be enough, and the only place where troops can be deployed is Liangzhou of the Western Front.

If Li Jing transfers the new force to Haizhou, if the imperial court transfers troops from the western front to intervene in the internal struggle between Yuan and Mongolia, there will definitely be no troops to transfer, and this will affect Daqin's core strategy for Yuan and Mongolia.

That's why Wu Qi specially sent a letter from Chang'an to remind Li Jing.

Naturally, Li Jing didn't want to allocate the troops under his command. After all, with the arrival of [-] Tubo troops and the release of the Qiang Order, the Qin army on the western front no longer had the upper hand in terms of strength.

But it was related to Daqin's core strategy against Yuanmeng. Even Li Jing was very upset, so he could only endure it for a while.

Because of the news of Maodun's fall, Li Jing deliberately waited for three days without sending reinforcements, and after three days, Daqin's response to the Yuan-Mongol civil war also came down.

As expected by Li Jing, most of the officials headed by prime ministers Wang Meng and Xun Yu believed that although Daqin still had the power to intervene, it should reserve its strength to deal with the future before completely occupying the Central Plains and expelling the Sui Kingdom from Liangzhou. Variables that may arise, rather than using limited power on the grassland, are opposed to intervening in the Yuanmeng internal struggle.

After Li Jing received the news, he no longer had any worries in his heart, and immediately decided to lead an army of [-] to Haizhou to support Meng Tian, ​​and left Hu Luguang to lead the remaining troops to continue to besiege Daxing.

"Governor, after you leave with [-] people, what if Yang Guang goes out of the city to fight or break out of the encirclement?"

Hu Luguang asked worriedly. After all, without Li Jing and the [-] army, the Qin army only had [-] troops left in Daxing. The advantage in strength is not too great. It is already difficult to completely trap the Daxing defenders. And Yang Guang and Yang Su are both ruthless guys.

"Don't worry, Yang Guang doesn't dare to go out of the city. If he dares to fight, our army doesn't need to avoid the battle. No matter how heavy the casualties in a frontal battle are, they will be much smaller than a strong attack on Daxing.

As for breaking through, it was even more impossible. Without Daxing City, he would only die faster. "

Hearing what Li Jing said, Hu Luguang let go of all his worries, and Li Jing led his army straight to Haizhou.

While Li Jing was waiting for news from the Great Qin Dynasty, Meng Tian had already started a war with the Tubo army in Lunqinling in Haizhou, and the fight was extremely fierce.
