After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 295
Because the last time this method was used in Song State to achieve very good results, so Mengdi used this method in Jin State, but the effect was a bit unsatisfactory. After a lot of hard work, he recruited 2000 people That's all.

This reflects the advantages of a big country. The Jin State has dominated for a hundred years in the Spring and Autumn Period, so the people's sense of identity with the Jin State is quite heavy, so at this time, except for those who cannot survive, most people choose to stay.

Under such circumstances, Mengdi did not force him. After finishing repairs, he went directly to Wushi City. During the first coalition of princes, the army of the Wei State had already captured this place, so seeing Han When the national army came, everyone was panicked.

He declared his surrender without much resistance. This time Mengdi recruited a lot of people, about [-]. In fact, most of these people escaped from the surrounding areas of Handan. They lacked food and clothing. As long as they can feed them, Have as much as you want.

This is a good thing, Meng Di simply stationed in Wushi City, recruited a large number of people, and the people who heard the news came in an endless stream. In less than half a month, nearly tens of thousands of people were summoned, because the commotion caused a lot of noise. Too big, Zhao Yang soon got the news.

Under such circumstances, Zhao Yang did not choose to retreat. If he could not take this opportunity to take Handan City, then the civil strife in Jin would continue, so he ordered the army to attack quickly.

Soon the outer city of Handan was captured. Now Handan is in danger and may be captured at any time. Tian Qi has already arrived near the chicken hill and is ready to attack the city. Seeing Zhao Jianzi, he is not at all.

After thinking about it for a while, Tian Qi felt that he still had to leave a way out, otherwise he would not be able to explain himself when he faced Zhong Xingyin in the future, so he asked his deputy general Hong Shi Wenbing to attack Qu Liang, and then the army would meet up in Xingtai.

In this way, even if Handan City is broken, Zhao Ji and Zhong Xingyin will be able to escape to Bairen City smoothly.

At such a time, Tian Qi would not be so stupid that he took his own soldiers and horses to apply for a job with Zhao Jianzi. In this state of ineffective attack, Handan City reluctantly supported it, and declared the city in less than two months. break.

At this time, Mengdi had brought the cavalry to Hukou, which was a necessary and important exit. After passing through here, one could enter the Fenyang Plain, which was the old nest of the Zhao family. Going up the plain was Jinyang.

If you pass through the plains, the next is the Guanzhong Plain, a flat plain, as long as you have enough troops, you can go all the way to Xintian, the capital of the Jin State, so the defenders resisted very tenaciously.

Meng Di needs to wait and see the situation at this time. It is not a good thing for him to enter the Fenyang Plain. It is conceivable that the Zhao clan will definitely resist fiercely at that time, and there is a reason why Jin has been able to dominate for so many years. .

The most important thing is that because of the terrain, there is only one channel to attack Jin from the Central Plains, and that is the Weihan channel. If there is no doubled force here, there is no need to think about it, and it may not be successful.

The other option is to take down Huguan, and then occupy the Fenyang Plain. You must first take down Jinyang, the hometown of the Zhao family, and then attack the mainland of Jin. Otherwise, the back road may be cut off at any time.

The main reason is that the Fenyang Plain is in the middle of the Taihang Mountains, a long and narrow plain, and Jianyang is at the end of the Fenyang Plain, so the terrain itself is good for defense.

This is also a barrier against the invasion of Jin by foreign enemies. The most important reason why Zhao Yang was able to support Jinyang for such a long time is because of this terrain.

If you just change the fiefdom of another big family, such as the Wei family or the Han family, then you don't have to think about the result. It won't take long to resist and the city will be directly breached, because their fiefdoms are all in the plain area of ​​Yimapingchuan.

Under such circumstances, thinking of going to the interior of Jin, unless the vassal states work together, the chance of success is very small, which makes Meng Di somewhat envious.

Compared with the terrain of the Jin State, the Han State basically has no danger to defend, so when he attacked Huguan, he basically relied on the long-range strike ability of the bed crossbow to slowly consume the strength of the opponent, while the cavalry was All ready to go.

As long as the defenders inside want to fight back, they will fight back directly. Meng Di is guessing what Zhao Yang will do next. It is obvious that the young Jin State is in power, and the civil strife in Jin State can no longer be delayed. down.

Now there has been a double attack, but Zhao Yang is still unmoved. Under such circumstances, he is very likely to lead troops to attack Chaoge directly after breaking through Handan, or completely wipe out Zhao Ji and Bank of China. defeated the rebels.

Then turn around and attack Chaoge again. If this is the case, Mengdi can take Huguan after Zhao Jianzi made some moves, and then take the opportunity to take a walk on the Fenyang Plain to see the local mountains and rivers. I know what I know.

After finally breaking through Handan, Zhao Yang didn't feel much joy in his heart. He asked the troops to rest for two days. At this time, the retainer You Liang showed a worried look on his face, and he reminded him.

"Now, my lord, we have captured Handan City, but now the armies of Qi and Han have arrived, Mengzi has reached the vicinity of Huguan, and Tian Xizi's army has also arrived at Xingtai."

"Under the current situation, if we continue to pursue Zhao Ji and Zhong Xingyin, it is very likely that we will start a war with Tian Xizi's army. At that time, Guo Huizi will lead the army to cut off the retreat from behind."

"And at this time, if Mengzi assists the attack from the side, then our army will be in danger. At this time, we might as well leave some troops to guard Handan, and then lead the army to attack Chaoge."

"Although Tian Xizi has outstanding abilities, he has a lot of selfishness. Under such circumstances, if Guo Huizi encounters an attack, he will not rescue him immediately. After all, the current internal situation in Qi is unknown."

"At this time, Tian Xizi will definitely wait for the opportunity. If Guo Huizi's strength can be weakened at this time, then he must be happy to see it. Otherwise, Guo Huizi will always focus on the hegemony of Qi State and will definitely do his best. Rescue Tian Xizi."

After Zhao Yang heard this, he frowned and thought for a while. What he was most worried about now was the movement of the Han army, because Mengdi's cavalry had left a deep impression on him. National Army battle.
