Chapter 391 Overthinking

At the foot of Mount Fuyang, Zhao Jun camp.

A battle in the morning ended hastily, and Sima Shang led his army back to the garrison, and the soldiers of the Zhao army were camping.

In the big tent, the items that were all in response were not fully prepared, but Sima Shang was not in the mood to wait.

Waving his hand, the soldiers in the tent retreated, and a group of Zhao army generals and commanders surrounded him.

"Hu Zhe's side has tens of thousands of people, but they were defeated by the Qin army. They are simply incompetent!"

Since Lian Po left Zhao State, Zhao State's army began to divide, especially since Pang Nuan failed to attack Qin, this trend has become more obvious and began to be divided into two groups.

One side is the border army under Li Mu, while the other side is the guards centered on Handan. The internal situation of the former is relatively simple, mainly Li Mu and Sima Shang, and was the main force in defending the Huns in the past. With the land as the core, the number of people is small, but the elite cavalry has strong combat power; the latter has a large number of troops, but the internal situation is complex. The interests of all parties are intertwined and the combat power is weak.

Now, the guards around Handan are defeated again and again under Hu Zhe. More importantly, the good situation of being able to encircle the Qin army and annihilate its elite forces in one fell swoop, but now the other party has broken a way out of life.

Sima Shang didn't speak, and listened to his subordinates' scolding, his emotions became even more complicated.

After Hu Zhi's defeat, the Qin army saved Fanwu and the retreat was smooth. What's important is that Fanwu City was an important fortress of the Zhao army. The hoarded materials are now sent to Fuyang Mountain, and the situation is different.

“Where is Fuyang Mountain now?”

Sima Shang asked, and Li Zuoche answered from the side.

"There was no intelligence coming from the front. However, Hu Ze's army was divided into two units. The group heading to Fanwu City was defeated by Qin general Li Xin, but the other group was still south of the Zhang River, blocking the Qin army's return. Hu Ze was very likely to flee to the south of the Zhang River and meet with that army."

Sima Shang nodded and spread the map on the table.

"Zhao Shuang divided 10,000 troops to Li Xin. After Li Xin defeated Hu Ju, he led the cavalry back to the Fuyang Mountain. The remaining 7,000 people should be in the Yuecheng north of Fanwu City and Zhangshuidu Bridge."

The situation is already different. Now that this game of chess is activated, Zhao Shuang is already single and lonely, she suddenly has vitality.

Sima Shang looked at the map with everyone. In the defense area south of the Zhao army's Handan city, a straight line was particularly eye-catching. It was created by the Qin army, connecting the Qin army's base camp Chaoge and the area south of Handan hundreds of miles south of Handan.

On this line, the three points of Anyang, Duqiao Yuecheng, and Fanwu are the most important.

Sima Shang analyzed the situation and picked up a bronze war chess.

"The Qin army left two thousand people in Anyang City, but at this time, the meaning is not much. The rest are Yuecheng and Fanwu City at the mouth of Duqiaoqiao."

Sima Shang said, putting the war chess at both ends of the two dots, looking up at everyone. Seeing this, everyone seemed to see the clues.

"Although Hu Ji was defeated, he still had the strength to cut the Qin army's return path into two. However, Zhao Shuang set up a formation to pierce the Qin army, giving the Qin army plenty of room for maneuver, which not only blocked our army, but also protected Fanwu. The Qin army attacked in a hurry that day, and the defenders in Fanwu City did not have time to burn the supplies. The food and grass were supplied to the Qin army for a month without any worries."

Everyone was shocked. To break the deadlock, in addition to capturing the Qin army's position in Wuyang Mountain, they had to let Hu Ju army cross the Zhang River, capture Yuecheng, and advance to Fanwu.

But it is not easy to attack in either direction.

"One month is enough for the reinforcements of the Qin army to take action. Once Fan Yuqi's army from Dongjun enters Ye, Hu Zhi is afraid that he will not be able to stop him. Can you spare Fuyang Mountain and take Fanwu first?"

Sima Shang shook his head.

"The Qin army set up a cruise ship on the Kanshui River, and Li Xin's cavalry was behind him, so he couldn't get around. Even if he went around, it would take such a long time to make the defenders in Fanwu City wait for reinforcements on Mount Wu. Now, there is no other way except for a strong attack."

"But if we attack strongly, our army will inevitably suffer great losses."

For a moment, a difficult problem was placed in front of a group of Zhao generals.

Sima Shang was also a little difficult to make a decision. At this time, he looked up and saw Li Zuoche frowning.

"General, I look at the Qin Dynasty. Although Changping Jun and Hanyang Jun are father-in-law and son-in-law, they are incompatible. Now outside Hangu Pass, the Qin army is divided into three divisions, representing three forces in Qin. I think Fan Yuqi's tribe may not go north, but Wang Jian's tribe is on the west side."

Li Zuoche said something, everyone was surprised. Sima Shang's vision moved from the south to the northwest of the map, and finally fell above Que.

"If we can capture the Xia Que and the troops leaving Jingxing and advancing Handan, it will indeed be a fatal danger to our army. But can Wang Jian capture the Xia Que and the army?"

Li Zuoche shook his head.

"Otherwise, I really can't understand why Zhao Shuang set up a formation on Mount Fuyang instead of retreating and heading to Anyang."

"This probably won't be true!"

For a moment, all the generals in the tent hesitated. After all, Que and Yang Yang were an important town in the Zhao army. Can they be attacked with Wang Jian’s new army?

................

The night is dark and the wind is high, and the bonfire is bright.

"General, Que and the city have already come down."

Wang Jian was covered in armor and covered in blood. In the night wind, his body looked even taller and taller, like a mountain.

"How much does our army suffer?"

"The casualties were not large, only 10% were lost. The Zhao army fled in a hurry and, according to the general's instructions, did not intercept and kill the defeated deserters."

Wang Jian nodded, without any murderous intent in his words. However, as soon as the military order was issued, the intention was as majestic as a mountain and unshakable.

"Let the news of the defeated generals and the captured ones come back to Wuyang and Handan to fear the Zhao people. Then, he made great efforts to say that the 100,000 troops had arrived and forced the army to surrender to Wuyang. Tell them that if they did not surrender, they would not be left after the city was broken."

"promise!"

Time is tight, and Wang Jian's new army has not been trained for a long time and its combat power is not high. Wang Jian does not want to waste time with the Zhao army here. Only by using the most basic method to obtain Jiangyang and leave Jingxing can he echo the Qin army in the south of Handan City, shake the Zhao army and achieve great achievements.

Que and the city.

In the dark corners, spider webs are connected.

Chen Ri stood in the shadows, feeling the silence of the streets of Zhao's army after they failed and retreated.

"Sir Yan Ri, what should we do now?"

When he was ordered here by Zhao Shuang, Yan Ri had never understood what Zhao Shuang was going to do. But now, he understood.

"I didn't expect that Wang Jian really captured Que Yu."

For a moment, Yun Ri's mood was a little complicated. After the Qin King took power, in order to change the old military structure and gain military power, his confidants, such as Wang Jian, Li Xin and other generals, entered the army. Now that Wang Jian has achieved great achievements, he has completely settled the position of the chief general of the army, and can become generals such as Yang Duanhe, Fan Yuqi and others.

However, Wang Jian opened up the situation, which also meant that Zhao Shuang was completely alive.

Thinking of this, Yan Ri sighed. But soon, he felt relieved.
