Chapter 1230 Everyone Is Driving Qin to Death
General Tian Zhengyang died, and Xiaoyue Pavilion personally carried out the imperial decree.
At first, Luo Zhao's repeated persuasion was in vain, and Meng Shanming of Yan State also sent a letter to persuade him, but it was still in vain. Tian and Ma both had their own selfish desires, resulting in missing the best opportunity to fight. After that, Tian Zhengyang repeatedly attacked Xipingguan, and it was difficult to win even if he lost troops and generals. The Qin State suffered heavy losses.
Nowadays, there is a food shortage in the Qin State, and people are panicking. In fact, it has not yet reached the point of food shortage, but those who got the news first are already hoarding it, causing panic in advance.
Yucang was furious, and Ma Changan, who was in charge in the country, was also panicked. He personally ordered troops to raid the house and executed many profiteers in order to maintain normal order. However, it is useless to kill some profiteers while panicking. Those who have no food are desperately looking for food, while those who have food continue to hoard in the dark.
The market circulation order is disrupted, which is a sign before the chaos.
Food shortages have arisen even before the food is exhausted. The rich can still spend huge sums of money to purchase food from the outside world, but the majority of the people are complaining!
This has shaken the foundation of Qin's rule!
Yucang personally rushed to South Korea and the Yan Kingdom to ask for huge sums of money for food. Who would give it? Even if they spit out the money earned from brewing wine with interest, no one will give them food.
It's not that they don't give it, but that they can't afford it. Except for Weiguo, the world's granary, neither South Korea nor Yan State can satisfy Qin's huge appetite. There are still many people in the two countries who don't have enough to eat. We really need to tighten our belts and give them. , there will be problems in our country.
What's more, the signs of chaos have appeared, and all countries are silently hoarding food to prepare for war, leaving no room for Qin.
Even in Nanzhou, which had cooperated closely with Xiaoyue Pavilion, Shang Chaozong was watching with cold eyes.
It may be a little bit to say that they will not save them until death, but the biggest purpose of Yan State and South Korea is to force Qin State to attack Xipingguan. Only by forcing Qin State to a dead end, Qin State will not hesitate at any cost.
Both the Shang Dynasty and South Korea were waiting. Qin could not conquer Xiping Pass, and their food aid was useless.
If it cannot be conquered, it would be detrimental to Yan and Han to provide food aid to keep Qin alive. It would be better to let it collapse on its own!
The reason is very simple. If Qin can defeat it, then only if it can help Qi and Wei to curb Jin's ambitions.
If not, Jin will have to rest and recuperate after conquering Qi and Wei, stabilize the territory, and have no worries before sending troops eastward.
A lingering Qin State cannot stop Jin's offensive. In this case, it is better to let Qin State be unable to support it. Yan and Han will take the opportunity to easily sweep away. Taking advantage of Jin State's opportunity to rest and stabilize its territory, Yan and Han can also seize the opportunity. Time consolidated the occupied Qin territory, and then joined forces to fight against Jin.
To put it bluntly, Yan and Han also set their sights on Qin, and all the countries put Qin on the fire to roast it. When it was cooked, it was up to them to see who could strike first!
The various countries that Shang Chaozong convened before to discuss the move to resist the Jin Dynasty were pure nonsense. They were all here to see the situation. They all had their own agendas. It was strange that they could reach an agreement.
Of course, Nanzhou's unwillingness to help was also due to Niu Youdao. Shang Chaozong asked Niu Youdao for his opinion. Niu Youdao's opinion was very simple, not even a grain of food!
Niu Youdao was waiting, observing, and pushing Xiaoyue Pavilion to death to see if Yucang would use other forces to help.
When he was in the Holy Realm, Sha Tulai's words had always bothered him. Yu Cang was involved in the assassination of King Ning Shang Jianbo, and Shang Jianbo was killed by Yu Cang himself. The crow general who appeared when Dongguo Haoran died indicates that Wu Chang is behind the incident. However, Shang Jing clearly gave Yu Cang to him, but Yu Cang said that it was given to him by Tong Mo. Yu Cang did not tell the truth, but it coincided with the records in Piao Miao Pavilion's secret files. Someone modified the records in Piao Miao Pavilion's secret files! who is it?
At this point, Niu Youdao's main opponent has moved to a higher level!
In short, they are pushing Qin to death. Faced with the intensifying chaos within Qin, Qin's new establishment is facing collapse. Yu Cang finally couldn't sit still, finally got angry, and finally killed Tian Zhengyang!
Tian Zhengyang was not the only one to blame. Yu Cang misjudged the situation and a large part of it was a factor. However, it was impossible for him to take the blame at this time. Tian Zhengyang could only die!
Taking advantage of the low morale on the front line, the front line and the capital took action almost at the same time. The front line executed Tian Zhengyang and a group of his cronies. The capital side also imprisoned all of Tian Zhengyang's family members, and they have not been killed yet!
The person who executed it on the front line was Xiaoyue Pavilion, but the person responsible for the execution was Ma Changan.
Ma Changan took Tian Zhengyang's place and continued to lead the army to attack Xipingguan. He was tightly controlled by the people from Xiaoyue Pavilion and could not escape. His family was also taken hostage by the imperial court. The consequences of not being able to capture Xipingguan would be disastrous. Just imagine!
When the situation reached this point, Ma Changan also regretted it and asked Luo Zhao to take action.
He begged Luo Zhao to no avail. Even when Yu Cang asked Luo Zhao, Luo Zhao didn't agree. It wasn't that he didn't agree, but that he couldn't agree.
Luo Zhao is not stupid, why did he go there earlier? Now that the situation is like this, Yin Chu's defenders are already well prepared. How can he get better if he goes to attack Xipingguan? If Tian Zhengyang is killed at this time, he will take over Tian Zhengyang's men. How can he give orders? Only Ma Changan, who has his own men and horses in hand, can control it.
This is what Yu Cang told him. Luo Zhao refused to come forward to lead the army. At this point, he could only follow what Yu Cang said before and take the opportunity to cleanse Tian Zhengyang and Ma Changan's direct lineage, and then he would take over full military power!
Under such circumstances, Qin State will not be able to win this battle if there are any more constraints from behind!
At Xipingguan, Ma Changan launched an offensive and failed!
News of the failure came back!
In the Qin Palace, Yu Cang sealed himself in a dark room and remained silent.
After a long silence, Yu Cang suddenly sighed quietly in the darkness, "Brother Niu, you died too early, and you also harmed me!"
I ran to beg the Yan Kingdom, beg the Zijin Cave, and beg the Shang Chaozong, but it was all in vain. He almost knelt down. If kneeling down was useful, he would really kneel down. At this time, his face was nothing, but he would have a chance to get it back when he regained control!
At this time, he missed Niu Youdao very much. Only now did he realize that it was still a pleasure to work with Niu Youdao. Although there would be disputes, everything was easy to discuss. If Niu Youdao was there, Niu Youdao would be the best. With his ability and influence on Yan State, the matter of asking for help may turn around.
However, I can only sigh, knowing that even if Niu Youdao is alive, he is trapped in the holy realm and cannot be contacted.
The so-called harm to him was because he blamed Niu Youdao for not giving him the secret recipe for brewing wine, and he also blamed himself for being short-sighted and greedy.
But many things were unavoidable according to the situation at the time. Niu Youdao was generous and gave the secret recipe as soon as he was told, but he couldn't help but refuse it. At that time, the Qin State was newly established and needed a lot of money to stabilize people's hearts and improve the situation. There was a way to make quick profits. How could he resist using it?
…
It was dawn, and the main tent of the Qi army was bright. Hu Yanwuhen got the detective report, and after seeing the news of Tian Zhengyang's death, he shook his head slightly.
From the beginning, when he learned that Yin Chu had occupied Xiping Pass, he knew that it would be difficult to attack, especially since Qi's soldiers and horses were not good at fighting in the mountains, so he gave up decisively, forcing Qin to surrender Xiping Pass at any cost. Consume more of Jin’s power!
Facts have proved that his judgment was correct, and Qin could do no more than this at any cost.
After pressing the news of Tian Zhengyang's death on the desktop, Hu Yanwuhen turned to face the map again, his brows furrowed and his face full of worry.
The situation on the map shows that after Gao Pin's defeat, a solid defense line has been rebuilt, blocking the Qi army's offensive at every turn.
A layman could not understand, but he saw the mystery of the high-level reconstruction of the defense line. In some places, they would rather abandon the defense and retreat to the mountains to build defensive positions, which greatly weakened the offensive power of Qi's huge cavalry lineup.
Behind the stable defense line, Gao Pin is sending troops to gradually engulf the power territories of all parties in the Wei Kingdom whose attitude is unclear!
Gao Pin put on a steady and steady attitude and showed his intention to fight him.
The intelligence from the Jin State showed that the Jin State, which had obtained sufficient food and grass, had mobilized all its people to mobilize troops. He had realized the strategic change of the Jin army and was ready to crush it!
If you cannot defeat the high-quality army quickly, the consequences will be unimaginable!
It is unrealistic to attack by force at all costs. If the elites of Qi are exhausted, I am afraid that it will play into the hands of the Jin army!
How to break the situation? Huyan Wuhen felt heavy.
…
Between the Jin Army and the Qi Army, the life-and-death style of fighting has suddenly changed!
In the Nanzhou Yingwu Hall, the situation Meng Shanming least wanted to see happened. Unfortunately, he was right, and the Jin State really launched a situation where all the people were in arms!
He was also staring at the map, staring at the confrontation between the Jin and Qi armies. The Jin army's defensive posture seemed familiar to him. It seemed to have the style of the Korean Jinjue. The defense line could only be described as "stable".
In this world, who is the best at attacking on the battlefield? Meng Shanming is probably second to none. If we talk about who is the best at guarding, South Korea's Jinjue is second to none, and his reputation as a steady Sima is not in vain!
It is no coincidence that the methods of using the terrain and the defensive styles are so similar. Meng Shanming realized that high-grade combat capabilities may not be top-notch, but the ability to learn and apply them should not be underestimated. This high-grade combat should be against Jin Jue. A lot of effort has been put into the style.
Use the same method to block him as Meng Shanming to block Huyan Wuhen!
Under this situation, Huyan Wuhen was unable to launch a favorable offensive, which showed that Huyan Wuhen was indeed in trouble.
Meng Shanming was also staring at the map and thinking hard about how to crack it!
…
Inside the tent, Shao Pingbo, who was lying on a simple couch, woke up. He had already woken up and had been lying there quietly, staring blankly at the top of the tent without making a sound.
Shao Sansheng called several times but got no response, so he kept guard.
Suddenly the sound of "cough" came, and Shao Sansheng, who was dozing next to him, suddenly woke up and saw that Shao Pingbo had struggled to sit up.
"Young Master!" Shao Sansheng rushed to help him.
Shao Pingbo stood up and said, "Go out for a walk."
Shao Sansheng said worriedly: "My eldest son, the master said that you should not work hard anymore and need to rest."
Shao Pingbo still said the same thing, "Go out for a walk and get some fresh air!"
Shao Sansheng had no choice but to quickly take the cloak on the side, chase him outside the tent, and wrap the cloak around Shao Pingbo's shoulders.
The sky was getting slightly brighter, the morning breeze was slightly cool, there were dew on the grass, and the air was fresh, but mixed with the smell of horse manure.
Not to mention this smell, the smell of human feces and urine is unavoidable in temporary military camps. Marching and fighting are not so particular, and there are so many people and horses, it is unavoidable.
