After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 498 The Northern Expedition Begins

After the first battle, Yiqu's vitality was severely injured, and all the places didn't know what happened. They only knew that the army was defeated, and they thought that the Han Dynasty was attacking with all their strength, so many cities simply chose to surrender.

After Fan Li cleaned up the battlefield, he immediately ordered the whole army to continue marching for a while. He knew very well in his heart that only by marching quickly while taking advantage of the great victory can he deter Yiqu and make them have no desire to resist.

Moreover, these foreign races have always admired the strong. In the face of such a defeat, they simply could not resist. As more and more cities surrendered, the entire Yiqu fell into panic.

Many people chose to flee directly, and King Yiqu was finally forced to surrender and was escorted into Chang'an.

After the news came out, the foreigners near Guanzhong either chose to surrender to Han, or stayed away from this place directly. They joked that Yiqu, who was so powerful, lost in the first battle, and they would not be able to resist for a long time.

When the news of victory reached Chang'an, the Han Kingdom was full of jubilation. Meng Di had been discussing the next strategy with Sun Wu for a while, and now it had been decided. This time, a total of three armies were prepared.

All the way was Wu Qi in Huaicheng, who led the troops to attack Lu and Zheng, while Chen He sent troops to threaten the border of Qi and Weiguo. The rest of the army was led by Mengdi himself to attack Jin.

Chen He was mainly to contain, and Wu Qi was to assist in the attack. After taking Zheng Guo, he crossed the Yellow River and cooperated with Meng Di to sweep Jianguo's mainland. After the news came out, Jin was terrified.

The first to bear the brunt is the Wei family's fiefdom. They are just blocked outside the Taolin Fortress. Although Wei Ju's personal ability is not bad, but that's all. Yu Daliang.

Meng Di was not in a hurry either. On the one hand, he calmly occupied Wei's fiefdom and took over the city. On the other hand, he took every step of the way and pushed it under Daliang City, and began to build engineering equipment.

At the same time, they used bed crossbows to continuously bombard the army's morale in Daliang City in this way. At the same time, they dug ditches and piled up soil. Outside Daliang City, it took nearly a month to build an earthen wall.

In this way, you can shoot with the bed crossbow condescendingly towards Daliang City. Although many vassal states have learned the traditional production method so far, in terms of skills, Han is the best, with the longest range and the greatest power.

Under such circumstances, Wei Ju also encouraged to maintain the current situation, and at the same time urgently asked for help. Han Hu and Zhao Wuxie had no choice but to send troops to rescue.

But now under such circumstances, it is necessary to save Daliang, but at this time Wu Qi is in a state of turmoil, the reform of Lu State has failed, and the people in the country are full of complaints, and their place is still the old land of Song State.

Under such circumstances, due to internal and external troubles, Shangqiu supported for nearly 20 days, and finally Zhongsun Heji surrendered.

Wu Qi adopted a very flexible idea to fight Zheng Guo, that is, to fight the war of annihilation. Anyway, his purpose is to enter the Jin Kingdom and cooperate with Mengdi's actions, so while fighting Shangqiu, he has already sent cavalry to start from Pengcheng and quickly raid Xinzheng .

Zheng Guo knew the reason why the lips were dead and the teeth were cold, so he sent a large army to help the Lu State, but he surrendered after halfway to Shangqiu. Under this situation, the cavalry suddenly appeared behind them and made dumplings directly.

In this way, the main force of Zheng State is almost completely wiped out. Just kidding, how can we continue to fight in this situation?Along the way, Wu Qi occupied cities everywhere, and handed them over to the town soldiers to guard them after they were captured. At the same time, they set up military camps at some key points.

Although Wu Qi has his own confidence in the war, he will not take risks. If any danger occurs, he can return to help in time. For example, those soldiers and officials who surrendered will be sent directly to Chang'an.

These people are factors of instability. If they can surrender today, there may be some moths tomorrow, so it is not a good thing to stay in Zheng State. Under such means, most of Zheng State's land has fallen.

Although there are still some cities left, they are all isolated. Over time, there will be two endings, either surrender or running out of ammunition and food, while Wu Qi led the army across the Yellow River and directly entered the territory of Jin.

His goal is very clear, which is Huguan. Now Chen He has set up a drive on the border between Qi and Wei. Under such circumstances, it is impossible for them to send troops to aid Jin.

The only country that has the strength to do so is the Yan State, so the biggest possibility is to enter the Jin State through Jinyang, or Huguan, and it is not easy to win here.

Wu Qi first led his troops to pretend to go to Xintian, the capital of the state of Jin. When the troops of the Zhao family and the Wei family began to assist, he suddenly turned around and headed eastward. Chen Bing is already under the city.

Now the state of Jin is caught in a dilemma. If it concentrates on one of the troops, there is still hope to achieve some results on the battlefield. As for the victory, Zhao Yang and Han Hu have no hope.

Because this time the Han army has basically used all its troops, and has already pacified Yiqu, and many tribal soldiers have come to help the battle. The overall strength and the township soldiers exceed one million. .

Now Wu Qi caught them off guard again. Under such circumstances, it was impossible to help Daliang. The most important point was that the state of Jin had just gone through civil strife and people's hearts were unstable.

The longer the war lasted, the worse it would be for Zhao Yang and Han Hu. Just when they were hesitating, Meng Di sent Yu Rang to lead the cavalry straight to Xintian. He did not intend to attack the city.

Because through this period of observation, Meng Di has already noticed that there is a panic in the state of Jin. If this is the case, simply send troops to sweep the interior of the state of Jin, so it may be possible to get unexpected gains.

After Zhao Wuxie and Han Hu got the news, they didn't dare to be negligent, and sent troops directly to Xintian to help, but only halfway there, they never thought that Duke You of Jin actually chose to surrender in Kaesong, and even resisted a little. There is no action.

Yu Rang took Xintian without a single soldier. After the news came out, the morale of the Han army was greatly boosted, and they went all out to attack Daliang. Half a month later, a large number of them declared their fall, and Wei Ju committed suicide in his own home. .
