After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 188 Two armies
This time, Qi State and Wei State led the coalition forces of the princes to attack in two groups. Qi State led the way to attack Luchuan. Received Jinyang Xiang Chaoge's assistance.

This is tantamount to saying that it directly cut off Zhao Yang's retreat, and on the other hand, Zheng Guo is the main force, and he directly attacks Baiquan. You can't attack Chaoge with all your strength.

And Mengdi is now attacking Baiquan with Zheng Guo. After the news came out, Zhao Yang knew that something was wrong, so he attacked Chaoge with all his strength, trying to take down Zhong Xingyin and Fan Jishe before the coalition forces of the princes arrived.

However, Qi State and Wei State marched very fast. At the time when the battle was in full swing, Gao Zhang and Guo Xia led their troops to attack Luchuan. Under such circumstances, Zhao Yang had to divide his troops to defend. In a state of anxiety.

Meng Di met Zheng Guo's army in Suanzao, the leader was Zi Yao and Zi Ban, and saw that he was leading cavalry, although his face was a bit ugly, but Zheng Shenggong had just established a good relationship with Meng Di recently.

And they have also seen armor and weapons made of evil gold, so they are polite on the surface, Zi Yao said.

"Hanhou's leadership is all cavalry, and the speed is very fast, so let Hanhou be responsible for escorting the grain and grass."

Being underestimated, Meng Di didn't care and immediately agreed, but Shi Huang who was on the side was very dissatisfied.

He complained in a low voice: "These people think that chariots are invincible, but they dare to underestimate us so much. Why did the lord agree to it? Wouldn't this chill the hearts of the soldiers?"

Hearing what he said, Meng Di smiled and said meaningfully.

"They thought that this time the coalition of princes would definitely be able to make meritorious deeds, so they all scrambled to get the first merit. The so-called wine is not afraid of deep alleys. We have the strength ourselves, so why worry about so much?"

"When things go wrong in the future and they are defeated by Zhao Jianzi's army, it's not too late for us to take action. It's also good to be responsible for escorting food and grass. It's safer, and we can raise horses by the way. What's wrong with that? ?”

"As a general, you must remember that you must not raise your troops in anger. It is easy to be judged by emotions, and you will fall into the trap of the opponent. You must learn from it in the future."

Emperor Shi was used to being lectured by Meng Di, so he nodded thoughtfully, and Zhao Yang was too busy to take care of himself now, and he didn't have any extra troops to harass the food road of the coalition forces of the princes.

Moreover, seeing that the situation was not good for him, the state of Jin shrank its troops across the board. At least until now, Zhixuan was still supporting Zhao Yang.

Under such circumstances, Mengdi divided his [-] cavalry into four teams, one team was responsible for escorting food and grass, and the other team was responsible for taking care of the rest. , the life is happy and carefree.

But Baiquan's battle was not going smoothly. Zhao Yang's troops fought very cleverly, defending and attacking at the same time, defusing the offensives of the coalition forces of the princes again and again.

On the other side, the Jin defenders in Luchuan couldn't stand their ground. Zhao Yang kept attacking Chaoge City and waited for a chance. In the situation before him, the forces of the allied forces of the feudal lords were far greater than Zhao Yang's. The founding men led by him.

Under such circumstances, the only way to win the war is by surprise, and the person who followed Zhao Yang at this time was Wei Linggong's prince Kuai Kui, because he had a bad relationship with his mother Nanzi.

And now Wei Linggong's health is getting worse and worse, and the power of defending the country has fallen into the hands of Nanzi, which makes the originally unharmonious relationship between mother and child deteriorate rapidly. Prince.

As a result, the matter was leaked, Duke Ling of Wei was furious, and sent someone to arrest Kuai Kui, but in desperation, he had no choice but to flee to the state of Jin and work under Zhao Yang. He was also very excited to attack Chaoge this time.

But now that the situation has changed suddenly, Kuai Kui couldn't help feeling a little worried, so he spoke.

"Jianzi, at this moment, the coalition forces of the princes are very powerful. Should we consider using the main force to defeat one of the troops first? If we continue to wait, we may lose our opportunity."

After hearing this, Zhao Yang shook his head resolutely, and then opened his mouth to analyze.

"Qi State led the vassal states to attack us this time. Although they look aggressive, they are actually weak in succession. As long as they can survive their initial attack, then these people will worry about their own losses."

"In this way, we will appear hesitant when attacking. At that time, it will be our opportunity to counterattack, and I heard that the people of Zheng Guo will arrange for the heroic Mengdi to deliver food and grass."

"They probably think that we will definitely withdraw our troops. The more we do this, the less we can retreat. Otherwise, they will take advantage of the victory and pursue them. What will we use to resist? So you don't have to think too much, just wait with peace of mind."

As Zhao Yang expected, after two months of onslaught, the offensive momentum of the allied forces of Luchuan and Baiquan had obviously slowed down. At this time, Zhao Yang finally got his long-awaited opportunity.

He first ordered people to attack Chaoge fiercely, and at the same time secretly assembled soldiers and horses to prepare to attack. Under such circumstances, the coalition forces of the princes also knew that it was not a good thing to continue the stalemate, so they encouraged the soldiers to attack again.

But at this time, Zhao Yang secretly returned to Luchuan with a part of his troops. After arriving, he led people out without waiting for Gao Zhang and Guoxia to deploy their troops. The Jin army in Luchuan saw this situation. , Excited, sent troops to attack.

Under the two-phase attack, the coalition forces of the princes retreated more than ten miles, and at this time Zhao Yang led the troops to retreat. For a while, Gao Zhang and Guo Xia didn't understand why Zhao Yang didn't take advantage of the victory and pursue it?Because the defenders behind are ready to face the battle.

In fact, it's not that Zhao Yang didn't want to, but he couldn't. He only has so many troops in his hands. If too much is spent here, then there will not be enough troops to return to Baiquan.

He just wanted to use this method to hit the morale of the coalition forces of the princes, and then returned to Chaoge to rest for a few days, then took another part of the army that had been prepared, and continued to go to Baiquan. Compared with Luchuan, Baiquan The situation is much better.

Because this is the fiefdom of the Zhao family, after Zhao Yang's reform, the fighting spirit of the army was very high, and it also caused a lot of blows to Zheng Guo's army.
