Emperor Qin Ba Shi

Chapter 504 Huangfu's Abandoned Strategy!

"The old minister obeys the edict!"

In Hu Hai's eyes, Li Xin saw determination, which was his persistence and longing for the land.

If you send [-] troops, you can exchange for the land of two counties.It is undoubtedly an extremely cost-effective deal for the Great Qin Empire.Not to mention Qin Emperor Hu Hai, even Li Xin was moved at this moment.

Because the investment is far greater than the effort!
This kind of war is the favorite of famous generals!
……

"Ah."

Nodding his head, Qin Emperor Hu Hai said, "Old General, I will leave the three counties of the North to you!"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty!"

Li Xin bowed his hands to Hu Hai, and said impassionedly, "As long as the veteran is still alive, the Huns will not break through the Great Wall pass!"

At this moment, Li Xin was growing stronger and stronger, and his whole body was full of evil spirits.It seems to have returned to the time when the court made decisions in the war against Chu many years ago.

……

Looking at Li Xin who seemed to be issuing a military order, Hu Hai smiled leisurely and said, "I believe in the old general, the Great Qin will surely win!"

"The Great Qin will surely win, Your Majesty will live forever!" Li Xin quickly responded.

It's just that after Hu Hai left, Li Xin's expression was a little complicated.Qin Emperor Hu Hai just explained his countermeasures one by one.

In this way, he has a certain understanding of Hu Hai's thoughts, and it is precisely because of this that Li Xin is worried.

He knew that the Great Qin Empire had just regained a little vitality because of Hu Hai's reform and the victories in the past one or two years.

At this time, the Great Qin Empire should ignore the disputes outside the customs and concentrate on development, but the Qin Emperor decided to send troops to intervene in the war at this critical moment.

As a veteran of the First Emperor's period, Li Xin knew in his heart that this battle was like a double-edged sword, and it depended on the outcome of Qin Emperor Hu Hai.

If Emperor Qin wins, everyone will be happy.The cohesion of the Great Qin Empire will be greatly increased, and the heart of the old Qin people will once again pervade the ruling and opposition parties.

It's just that things in World War I developed in the opposite direction, and the Great Qin Empire would be ruined just after a little vitality due to the reform.

Because of this, Li Xin looked complicated.Because he is an old courtier of the Great Qin Empire, who fought for the Great Qin from the time of the First Emperor.

Therefore, there are more fetters and emotions for this empire.

……

That night, the moonlight was hazy.Hu Hai led the Chinese army general Zuo and [-] armored knights straight into the Jiuyuan army barracks, led an army of [-], and advanced rapidly.

In an hour, he left Jiuyuan and entered Yunzhong County.Due to Zhao Wangxie's order, the gates of Yunzhong County along the way were opened for the Qin army to pass through.

This is also the first time the Qin army has set foot on the land of Yunzhong County since the chaos in the world.

After entering Yunzhong County, in order to speed up and hide the news of the dispatch of the army, Hu Hai ordered to bypass all the county castles along the way and head east through Yanmen.

Completely disappeared in the eyes of Zhao State and the rest of the world.

Half a month later, the Qin army had passed through a river valley on the west bank of Daijun Zhishui and camped secretly.

In order to hide, even Chen Yu, the King of Dai, did not know that the Qin army had entered Dai County.

……

In the shogunate of the Chinese army, Qin Emperor Hu Hai's eyes were solemn. He knew that although Shanggu's defensive strength was not large at this time, it would not be too small.

Because in order to attack Zhao State, Shanggu and Guangyang County are the frontiers. At this time, they must be full of troops.

It's just that Han Xin's army has been confronting Li Zuoche's army in Handan, and the army in Shanggu only maintains a conventional defense to avoid surprise attacks by the Zhao army.

Since the Zhao army and the Dai army were attracted to Handan, Han Xin was away from the army for a decisive battle, so the defense in Shanggu County was not strong.

"Your Majesty, there is news from the Black Ice Terrace that in Shanggu County, only Juyang has deployed heavy troops to serve as the rear of the Liaodong army..."

Hu Hai frowned, and interrupted the visitor's long speech: "How many Liaodong troops are there in Juyang?"

Seeing Qin Emperor Hu Hai's ugly face, Hu Yitong did not dare to make a long speech, and hurriedly said: "Since Juyang is the rear of the Liaodong army's food and grass, there are [-] troops in Juyang City."

"It's just that most of the recruits in this army are not the elites in Han Xin's hands!"

……

Hearing this, Hu Hai fell silent.As Hu Yitong said, there are relatively few elite teachers in the hands of the major vassal states today, which is the reason why they want to unify the world in advance.

Once time has passed, not only will there be new cohesion, but the army will also be trained to be elite.

"Investigate again and report again...!" Qin Emperor Hu Hai's eyes flashed a look of ferocity, and said: "I want the detailed information of Juyang!"

"Yes!"

……

"Gathering generals!"

After a long silence, Qin Emperor Hu Hai finally gave the order, saying: "Within a quarter of an hour, those who do not arrive will be executed!"

"Yes!"

……

After a while, all the generals came one after another: "I wait to pay my respects to Your Majesty, Your Majesty has been here for ten thousand years—!"

Hu Hai looked solemn, waved his hands solemnly, and said: "Everyone, now that our army has entered Daijun, the next step is Shanggu. What do you think of this battle?"

These people are all the elites of the Jiuyuan army, people who have grown up fighting on the battlefield, and they are extremely keen on capturing fighters.

After Emperor Qin said these words, a quarter of an hour later, Huangfu Qi cupped his hands to Hu Hai and said, "Your Majesty, according to the news from the Black Ice Terrace, Juyang is an important place to store grain for the Liaodong army."

"Your Majesty thinks that the army is secretly marching into Shanggu!" Having said this, Huangfu Qi pointed to the map and said, "Your Majesty, please look here. Yu Yanshui meets Zhishui here, and then passes through Juyang."

"Juyang is the seat of Shanggu County. Not only does it have an army of [-], but it also has food and grass for the Liaodong army, as well as the Shanggu County government office."

"As long as our army destroys Juyang in one fell swoop, the Liaodong army will be short of food, even if Han Xin can fight well, he will surely retreat under the attacks of Li Zuoche and Xiang Yu."

"The defeat of Shanggu County's official office will help us Daqin to take over Shanggu County. Besides, there are [-] troops in Juyang, plus the high city of Juyang. If we attack by force, we will inevitably suffer heavy casualties."

……

"You mean water attack?" Qin Emperor Hu Hai's eyes flashed brightly, he stared at Huangfu Qi firmly, and said, "Invite water to flood Juyang, and seize Shanggu in one fell swoop?"

"Your Majesty has this intention!" Huangfu Qi cupped his hands at Hu Hai, and said, "Please give me your advice, Your Majesty!"

Hearing this, Hu Hai fell silent.As a traveler, he naturally knows the truth that water and fire are ruthless. Once the water is dug out to control the water, although the city will be destroyed, it will also be flooded for thousands of miles.

Countless Chinese people were displaced and suffered heavy casualties.Therefore, in the past dynasties, the strategy of flooding with water was seldom used unless it was absolutely necessary to go out with a large army.

Flooding a city will hurt peace!

However, from the standpoint of the Great Qin Empire, the flooding strategy is undoubtedly the most perfect strategy.Because this can reduce the casualties of the army, which is conducive to the rise of the Great Qin.

Thoughts flickered in his mind, Hu Hai was silent for a while, not knowing how to make a choice.Rationality tells him that Juyang should be brought under control, but emotion tells him that they are all Chinese...
