Chapter 477
Fortunately, when Shi Zhen pursued him, he did not leave all his nests and some were left behind in Jinling, which made the county city safe.
However, the loss of Zuocheng and Baima was a big blow to Jinling.
Because these two cities are in it, it is equivalent to the acropolis, and the three cities can be coordinated at any time. Especially as long as the enemy dares to approach Jinling, Zuocheng and Baima can cooperate with the front battlefield from both wings.
Shi Zhen also had enough confidence to stick with it for months.
But now, Jinling is equivalent to an isolated city.
After rushing back, Shi Zhen couldn't help but sigh.
The deputy general was beside him, and because he retreated urgently, he looked a little dirty and said tentatively: "General, why not let us snatch the white horse back first!"
"How to rob?" Shi Zhen glanced at him: "Now Wei Qing's troops must have been divided into garrisons. Can you capture the white horse in one day?"
"This..." The deputy general swallowed.
"Since that's the case, why are you talking about this? The main force of the Qin army is coming. Think about the situation in Jinling next!" Shi Zhen said angrily.
He was right. After receiving the news from the front line, Zhao Muli moved, and the main force of the Qin army began to enter Zuocheng and Baima respectively.
Now both the left and right wings are enemies, Shi Zhen is very anxious and asks for help, one letter after another.
Because the White Horse is close to Jinling, the Qin army here has significantly increased its strength, which is also a military command.
All the major traffic roads that attacked Jinling were occupied by the Qin army. There was nothing to say next, so Zhao Mu immediately launched an attack on Jinling.
The loss of important strongholds made the entire Jinling County unable to complete any tactical transfer, and could only struggle to support it in a single city.
Two more days later, Xiao Yuan arrived at the front line.
After understanding the current situation, he couldn't help but praise Tian Su and Wei Qing and said:
"Director Tian is quick-witted, General Wei Qing is brave and brave. This battle is good. The loss of Zuocheng and Baima is fatal to Jinling."
"Yes, the king, two cities are lost, and the Golden Ridge is about to break. Judging from the current battle situation, Shi Zhen can't hold it for a few days." Zhao Mu received it.
"Yeah." Xiao Yuan nodded first and asked again: "Where is the reinforcements of Liang Kingdom?"
Zhao Mu returned: "According to military information, it is logical that the reinforcements of Liang Kingdom should have arrived at Jinling soon, but until now, there is still no big change."
This is a bit unreasonable. You must know that Jinling is a county, not a small county.
Liang Jun shouldn't give up here easily.
Frowning slightly, Xiao Yuan looked around for another week: "What do you think?"
Tian Su thought for a while and said, "The minister boldly speculated whether the king was a little worried. What conspiracy was planned by the reinforcements of Liang Kingdom."
"That's right." Xiao Yuan naturally would not hide it and said, "In my opinion, this is somewhat abnormal."
Tian Shu said: "In the opinion of the empress, no matter what the Liang army plans for the subsequent Liang army, the current Jinling is already an isolated city. It quickly captured this place, then spread to the surrounding areas, recovered the counties of this county, and completely stabilized the situation of our army entering Liang. This is the most important thing at the moment. Instead of guessing hostility, it is better not to guess."
This is the difference between Tian Shu and other strategists. Others may hesitate because they cannot see through what happened next, but Tian Shu won't do this.
Finally, Xiao Yuan adopted his suggestion and said, "Yes, I agree with Lord Tian's opinion. When I know that Jinling cannot pose a threat to our army, I will quickly pacify this place."
"On the other hand, pay close attention to the trends of Huan Kingdom."
Actually, this time, Xiao Yuan thought too much.
Liang Kingdom supported Jinling with a total of 100,000 reinforcements. The reason why they have not arrived yet is because of King Liang's order.
In the view of Shi Zhen, the guard general, Jinling is very important.
But if the map is reduced, Jinling is actually dispensable in terms of the entire Liang Kingdom territory, and it is not a strategic location.
In addition to the loss of Zuocheng and Baima, King Liang obviously had the intention to give up here.
One hundred thousand reinforcements, the head general was named Sun Yao.
This person is the deputy general of Liang Shuai Xue Wu for many years. If he is abilities, he is similar to Goldman Sachs among Qin generals. He is an intermediate general who has experienced many wars, rich experience, but is not as good as the top and has more than the bottom.
Sun Yao led 100,000 troops, which was the only way for King Liang to do, because Xue Wu is still on the front line of Huanliang and confronts Sun Qi. On the surface, there is no other commander in the country available.
As the monarch, King Liang knew Sun Yao's ability, so he did not dare to let him support Jinling easily, for fear of being involved in the Qin King's plan.
At this time, Sun Yao was facing great pressure.
The most important figures of the other party are King Xiao Yuan of Qin, and below are Zhao Mu, Shangguan Wenruo, General Xu Hu, General Peng Shuang, adviser Tian Su, and a large number of intermediate generals of the Qin army.
From Sun Yao's personal perspective, his mentality can be imagined.
After leading his army to the rear of Jinling, Sun Yao stopped and began to establish a line of defense according to the terrain, deep ditches and high barriers.
At the same time, he sent a letter to Shi Zhen. If Jinling cannot defend, there is no need to defend hard. He will save his existing troops and retreat quickly to meet with his own side.
Shi Zhen had no choice but to defend the lonely city, sooner or later, after a day of bloody battle, he also made a quick decision and with only a few thousand defeated soldiers, he threw away Jinling City and retreated to Sun Yao's defense line.
On the other hand, the envoy of Liang Kingdom also arrived in Huandu and began to lobby King Huan in the court.
This is what King Liang cares about the most.
Now he urgently needs to stop the army with Huan Kingdom and focus all his energy on dealing with the Qin army.
More importantly, Xue Wu, Tang Yue, Cai Yan and others must quickly withdraw from Huanliang's battlefield and turn to the King of Qin.
But the Huan army's troops were still on the front line, and Sun Qi was always eyeing him, which required King Huan's attitude.
When he came to the hall, the Liang envoy first bent down and bowed, gave a deep gift, and then he straightened his way and reported his purpose.
Instead of asking King Huan to retreat in a requesting tone, he used his tone skills to explain the current situation of Huan from other perspectives.
This was the cleverness of the debater at that time. He would not say what impact did the withdrawal of the Huan Kingdom have on Liang Kingdom, but would say what the benefits of withdrawing the troops were for you.
The Liang envoy stood on the position of Huan Kingdom and pointed out for King Huan that the dispute between Qin and Liang is the key now. There is no need for Huan Kingdom to participate in it anymore. It is useless to waste national strength and military strength. Instead of doing so, it is better to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight. When Qin and Liang both suffer losses, they may still be able to reap the fisherman.
It can be imagined that such a statement can be said to be exactly what King Huan wants.
With his personality, he immediately smiled and said, "The envoy said this as if he was planning for our country of Huan."
