Chapter 2791 Jinxia Yibing
Fortunately, because of the long-distance raid, the transportation of food and supplies of Xia State was not so fast. With the arrival of Yang Wudi, the momentum was finally cut off. Lu Qinghou decisively chose to stabilize the transportation channels of the thirteen cities behind him, and at the same time confronted Jin State, and then attacked the city vigorously after the supplies arrived.
"Jin State, will perish!" Although Yousi only had half a life, he couldn't help laughing.
Lao Mu also breathed a sigh of relief: "In this way, once the siege supplies arrive, Gancheng will not be able to stop them. If Yang Wudi is defeated, Lu Qinghou can completely capture Jin in five months."
Canxin was a little dissatisfied: "Lu Qinghou is young and should be full of energy. Why did he suddenly stop? He lacked courage."
In the court of Xia State, Old Lady Jiang was also frowning: "What does Lu Qinghou mean? He should turn south. Why bother to confront Yang Wudi?"
After thinking for a long time, Zhang Yi had a different opinion: "The situation...maybe not good."
King Xia had just finished reading the battle report. He was originally happy, but his expression changed when he heard the words.
"Why do you say that, Prime Minister?"
Zhang Yi pondered for a moment, "Jin has a total of 600,000 standing troops. Excluding the necessary garrisons in important towns, at least 400,000 can be mobilized. Now there are only 200,000, and there are still 200,000 left..."
Jiang Luo interrupted: "We launched a surprise attack as fast as lightning. How can Sima Ji mobilize troops so quickly?"
Zhang Yi shook his head: "No, that's not right."
He pointed at the map: "I suddenly feel that Yang Xuanyi's marching route is a little wrong."
King Xia hurriedly approached: "What's the problem?"
Zhang Yi drew a finger on the map: "This is the fastest route, but why did Yang Xuanyi take a detour..."
Suddenly, his eyes suddenly focused: "That's not right, that's not good! She's not going to southern Shanxi at all, but to cut off my food supply!"
The Xia King and his son were shocked: "This is impossible, she's going in the opposite direction-"
Zhang Yi's face was solemn: "Look, here and here are where Xia's heavy troops are stationed, Xiao Camp and Yong Camp respectively. Yang Xuanyi's marching direction is actually leaning towards Xiao Camp, which is the most elite cavalry of Jin. If she is not going to southern Shanxi, but suddenly gathers Xiao Camp, and combines the troops together, she can mobilize 180,000 troops. As long as she suddenly kills back, our army will go deep into Jin at this time. Once the food supply is cut off..."
The Xia King and his son's faces tightened. Jiang Luo was suspicious: "It's impossible. Can the King of Jin just sit back and watch Jinnan?"
King Xia said in a deep voice: "The mainland is under attack. What does Jinnan, which has long been independent, mean? The Prime Minister is right. If it were me, I would not leave Yang Xuanyi to rush to Jinnan to help. I would definitely turn around and join the Xiaozi Camp to cut off the food supply and turn Lu Qinghou into an isolated army. Then Yang Wudi's central army and Yang Xuanyi will attack from the front and back, and Lu Qinghou will definitely lose."
Jiang Luo's face turned pale: "Jin State, how can it react so quickly?"
Zhang Yi said indifferently: "Yang Wudi is not an easy person to deal with, but the king does not need to worry. Before the expedition, Military Advisor Pang Ze had considered many possibilities. We are also prepared for the possibility of cutting off the rear of the Xiaozi Camp. Does the king remember Zhou Anshi?"
King Xia Nodding: "I was wondering why the Prime Minister suddenly left Zhou Anshi behind when he was supposed to be in charge of the grain and grass escort."
Zhang Yi smiled: "This is where Lu Qinghou is smart. This is his suggestion. He believes that Zhou Shuai is the best at defending the status quo, and this battle is just right to use this strength in order to curb the Xiao Ziying who is best at charging. Now I have prepared the troops and horses, ready to hand them over to Zhou Anshi to stop Yang Xuanyi."
King Xia's eyes lit up: "So that's it."
Zhang Yi said: "Lu Qinghou is a rare military genius. He started with a small group of people and a lightning raid, hoping to reach Lingzhou in one fell swoop and break through the most important pass on the western line of Jin State, Tongling Pass. At that time, he can steadily control Jin State based on Tongling. But if Yang Wudi returns quickly, he must change tactics in time and steadily establish a strong position. Play steadily. If my guess is correct, his confrontation at this moment is just an illusion, and he will soon return his troops and fight fiercely with the father and daughter of the Yang family in Yancheng. If they can defeat the father and daughter of the Yang family, the western half of Jin will be uninhabited, and there is no need to work hard to capture cities and territories. "
King Xia nodded: "So, Yang Wudi reacted quickly and blocked the first step of Lu Qinghou's plan. Now we have to start the second strategy."
Zhang Yi said: "Yes, overall Lu Qinghou's strategy is very feasible. This person has shown extraordinary talent. With the assistance of my Guigu Juncai, there will be no problem. Your Majesty, let them fight this battle, but be prepared. If you can't defeat the father and daughter of the Yang family quickly, you will definitely enter a protracted war. We must speed up the collection of food and grass, and more We need to stabilize the supply line. "
King Xia pondered for a moment: "The Holy Land must cooperate as soon as possible."
Zhang Yi nodded: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, but we can't just rely on the Holy Land. It's time for Wei to move. Once our ally is willing to send troops, the chaos in northern Jin will have no energy to stare at General Lu's back, and everything will be fine."
King Xia immediately looked at Jiang Luo: "My son, go to Wei immediately! Tell King Wei that I agree to his previous request to return all the land and people occupied in the past. "
Zhang Yi smiled faintly: "You don't have to pay too much, four border cities are enough, and people are not necessary. King Wei is such a hero, he will never miss such a good opportunity to capture cities and plunder land."
Jin and Xia were once allies, and their sudden war made the world uproar.
At the same time, Chen State temporarily stopped its frenzied attack on southern Shanxi because its base camp was attacked by Yang Xuanchao. On the one hand, Feng Chen stabilized Chen State, and on the other hand, he actively deployed troops, apparently wanting to fight a decisive battle with southern Shanxi. Both sides kept sending reinforcements to Tongjiang City, as if they wanted to decide the outcome with one battle.
The most unlucky one now is the Jin State. The sudden attack almost made the Jin State lose control. Fortunately, Yang Wudi made timely adjustments and was able to curb the opponent's momentum. However, facing the well-prepared Xia State, the Jin State seemed extremely distressed.
The court had been quarreling for a long time. Various ideas, opinions, and strategies were constantly proposed and overturned. Everyone was anxious and quite unorganized.
But there was not much anxiety on Sima Ji's face in the back hall.
"By stopping Lu Qinghou, we have achieved the first step." Bai Shigong seemed to be relieved, and his eyes turned towards Sima Ji with great admiration.
"Your Majesty, I am so surprised by your sharp and unique vision. If you hadn't determined that there was something wrong with Jiang Xiaoyao and took countermeasures in advance, we would never have been able to respond so quickly."
Sima Ji looked calm: "Who is he? He is the most immeasurable person, so the most impossible result must have unexpected changes."
He looked out the window: "I think...Jiang Xiaoyao has been watching me from a distance. Perhaps this is his last test for my ally."
Shiraishi Gongyu asked: "If you don't understand..."
Sima Ji smiled bitterly: "That must be another result. Jin may really die."
"Is it that serious?" Bai Shigong was horrified.
