"Uncle Zhou! A common man! You shameless thieves are not good things! It's okay if Xiang Kang's child is treacherous and shameless, but I didn't expect that you, a common man, are so despicable! He said that he was going to attack Yanmen County, but in fact he secretly came to attack my Taiyuan County! This time I was fooled by you!"

"Shameless man! I swear to be with you!"

Sima Xin, the former chief of the Qin army, was born as a civil servant, and had a gentle and gentle personality. It was difficult for outsiders to see him get angry. However, after receiving the urgent report of the Han army's sneak attack on Li Shi, Sima Xin tore off his elegant mask for the first time. She only cursed with her teeth and claws, so angry that she seemed to possess Xiang Yu who had lost one of her eyes after being shot into an arrow! The anger soared into the sky almost directly burned the ancient city of Jinyang, which had been built during the Western Zhou Dynasty, to ashes!

It’s really not a pity that Sima Xin was so angry. The main reason is that the development level of Taiyuan County in this era was still very low, with a vast land and sparse population. The entire county was only seven counties. After the fall of Lishi, the Zi family, which had the largest population and the largest amount of money and food, was immediately exposed to the sword of the Han Dynasty. The poor King of Jin Sima Xin concentrated the main force to Jinyang early because of the trap. There was no time to send troops to rescue him. Half of the country was about to be lost, and the territory was just a county in Taiyuan. Of course, it was difficult for King of Jin Sima Xin, who was not furious.

"King, regret is useless." Zhao Han, the general of the army, suggested: "The most important thing at the moment is to fully protect the Zi family, Wuxian and Jiexiu three cities. The last general suggested that our main force would be better to go south to rescue immediately and block the Han thief army from seizing our city."

Sima Xin had a dark face and quickly thought about it. After a while, she said with an extremely ugly expression: "You can't take risks. We only have more than 30,000 troops in total, but Zhou Shupinfu has 40,000 troops. The places like Zishi and Wuxian are too far away from Jinyang City. They risk going south to fight. If there are any mistakes, not only will our main force not be able to protect it, but the capital of Jinyang is also in danger of being taken down by the Han thief army."

"But we can't watch the Han thieves take advantage of the situation and take down the Zi family?" Zhao Han reminded: "Zi family is close to Wuxian and Jiexiu. If Zi family is not protected, Wuxian and Jiexiu will definitely not be protected."

"I can only ask for help from the King Dai (Zhang Han) and King Zhai (Dong Yi) immediately." Sima Xin said in pain: "First concentrate troops to protect our most important capital, Jinyang City. When the reinforcements of King Dai and King Zhai arrive, help us clean up the Han thief army, and then find a way to recover the fallen southern city."

Sima Xin made an absolutely correct choice. In fact, Uncle Zhou was indeed prepared for both ways. One was to lure the main force of the Taiyuan Army to the southern battle. The other was to first capture the three southern cities of Taiyuan such as the Zi family, seize the grain and grass supply army, and then go north to attack Jinyang. Now, since Sima Xin refused to risk the main force to go south to fight the final battle, Uncle Zhou had no choice but to give priority to attacking the Zi family and other cities, first clear the remaining enemies in the southern part of Taiyuan County, and then go north to seek a decisive battle with the main force of the Taiyuan Army.

The Han army's move to seize the city certainly gave Sima Xin the opportunity to ask for help from his allies. Jinyang went to Yanmen County to govern Shanwu City and had a road to pass. The news was quickly transmitted. Sima Xin sent a messenger to ask for help. It took only more than three days to send the news to Shanwu. As a result, just like Sima Xin, when he learned that Uncle Zhou suddenly sent troops to attack Sima Xin, he had already arrived in Shanwu with his main force, and Zhang Han and Dong Yi also cursed together. They all hated Uncle Zhou's despicable and cunning, and they shouted that they wanted to attack Yanmen County, but in fact they suddenly stabbed Sima Xin in the waist.

No matter how much he scolded, there was no way to curse. Sima Xin was not only a die-hard ally of Zhang Han and Dong Yi, but also an important source of money and food for Zhang Han and Dong Yi, and there was no mistake. Therefore, Zhang Han and Dong Yi had no choice but to discuss how to reinforce Sima Xin. The result was natural. When the troops in their hands were no longer as strong as before, Dong Yi immediately proposed that the two troops in Zhang and Dong army join forces and go south to reinforce Sima Xin at full speed.

Zhang Han only thought for a moment, then shook his head and rejected Dong Yi's proposal, saying, "You can't forget the Han thief tomb in Yunzhong County. He is currently stationed troops under Yunzhong City. If you find that we join forces to go south, you will definitely take the opportunity to attack Yanmen County, which will make us suffer from enemy forces and difficult to deal with. The best way is to divide the troops into two groups. You can first lead the troops south to reinforce Sima Xin, and I will send troops to attack Yunzhong, first deal with Wang Ling's men, and then go south to help you."

When Dong Yi thought about it, he immediately nodded and agreed, hurriedly organized troops. On the same day, he led his more than 20,000 troops along the Chi Road and rushed to Taiyuan County to reinforce Sima Xin. Zhang Han organized his troops to prepare to attack Yunzhong in the west, and sent people to inquire about the specific situation of Yunzhong County and grasp the movements of the Han army Wangling. However, what surprised Zhang Han was that after more than three days, before he could take action, Yunzhong heard news first, saying that Wang Ling had led his army to leave Yunzhong and voluntarily withdrew from the battlefield in the north of the Seibei region.

"Go south to reinforce the Zhou Shupinfu? Are you ready to fight us in Taiyuan?"

Zhang Han analyzed the reasons for Wang Ling's going south, and was very suspicious that Uncle Zhou lured all his main forces and Dong Yi to the Taiyuan battlefield to fight to reduce the logistics pressure of the Han army. However, in order to be cautious, Zhang Han did not rush to lead his main forces to the south, but instead calmed down and sent more people to carefully explore the situation in Yunzhong to prevent Wang Ling from returning, and suddenly killed a backlash. At the same time, because Yunzhong City was strong and difficult to attack and Taiyuan County was about to fight again, Zhang Han also gave up the idea of ​​advancing Yunzhong and was unwilling to waste military power for a city that was currently irrelevant.

…………

Let’s take a look at the battle between the three cities of the Zi family, Wuxian and Jiexiu. The Han army only encountered a slightly strong resistance at the Zi family city. After the Han army soldiers took three days to capture the Zi family city by force, Wuxian and Jiexiu. Under the persuasion of the Han army envoy, the Han army opened the city to surrender on their own, allowing the Han army to easily wipe out the Taiyuan army in the southern part of Taiyuan County.

Then, the Han generals and Cui Guang, an old man from Shangshan who followed the army to fight, and Zhou Shu all proposed, suggesting that Uncle Zhou seize the time to go north and take advantage of the opportunity that the enemy reinforcements had not arrived yet to wipe out the main force of the Taiyuan Army as soon as possible. Uncle Zhou shook his head decisively and refused, saying, "You can't be anxious. Wait for a few more days and wait until our grain transport brigade has delivered the food."

"General Zhou, is this necessary?" General Ling Jing asked strangely: "Although we have not seized a lot of food in Zishi. Wuxian and Jiexiu, it is enough for us to go north to Jinyang and persist until our food and grass arrive at the front line. Why have to wait for our food and grass? If we give time to Zhang Han and Dong Yi, the two men, and let their reinforcements arrive in Jinyang first, it will be even more difficult for us to take down Jinyang Jiancheng?"

"You are saying the opposite. If we seize the time to go north, it will be even more difficult to take down Jinyang City." Uncle Zhou smiled and said, "Jinyang is a big city. It is possible to accommodate Sima Xinpiao's main force. If we go north too fast and we have arrived at Jinyang City before his reinforcements arrived. In order to preserve our strength, Sima Xinpiao will definitely choose to retreat into the city to hold on. At that time, it will definitely be extremely difficult and we will grasp it very little."

"So, we can only do the opposite and deliberately give him the time to arrive in Jinyang first, so that Sima Xinliu has the courage to face us head-on." Uncle Zhou smiled and added: "Only in this way, when we go north to Jinyang again, Sima Xinliu will not pull his army back to the city to defend the city, but will only join forces with his reinforcements to fight head-on with us, so that we have hope of quick battles and quick battles and will not fall into a tough siege."

The Han army's civil and military officials suddenly realized it, but while praising Zhou Shu's clever plan, Ling Jing said again: "General Zhou, don't blame the general for his words. If we were too arrogant, we gave Zhang Han and Dong Yi the time to take their main force to the Jinyang battlefield first, and I am afraid the situation will be very unfavorable to us. After all, our army is full of recruits and lacks experience. Among the common men like Zhang Han, Dong Yi and Sima Xin, there are almost 40,000 tyrant veterans of Qin."

Uncle Zhou laughed and said, "If this is true, then God will help me. The time for us to completely wipe out the three evil deeds of the tyrannical Qin will be shorter."

After laughing, Uncle Zhou did not explain, but ordered the 40,000 Han troops to be concentrated at the city of Zi, seize the time to strengthen training, sharpen the guns in the battle to make the new Han army familiar with the military and accumulate experience, and wait patiently for the arrival of the Han army grain transport brigade. Finally, when the Han army grain transport brigade sent the grain and grass to the city of Zi, and let the Han army soldiers and grain transport brigade rest for two days, Uncle Zhou calmly led the 40,000 Han troops to the north and went north on the west bank of the Fen River to fight towards Jinyang.

Uncle Zhou's procrastination of course gave Dong Yi time to reinforce Sima Xin. The Han army's side-subjected troops to Jinyang had just been halfway through the road to Jinyang by the Zhe clan. Dong Yi had already arrived at the city of Jinyang with more than 20,000 troops, and met with Sima Xin's main force, which also allowed the total strength of the Jin-Zhai coalition army to reach nearly 60,000, completely reversing the military strength disadvantage in front of the Han army's side-subject division. Then, without saying, after a great peace, Sima Xin not only gave up the idea of ​​retreating to the city in full swing when the situation was wrong, but also had the plan to fight the Han army's side-subject division head-on and take advantage of the opportunity to regain his occupied territory.

Dong Yi raised his hands and agreed with Sima Xin's decisive battle plan, believing that although the Han army had 40,000 troops, they were all newly recruited. They had never seen blood and lacked practical experience. They could not be the opponent of the old soldiers in his army. They also advocated taking the initiative to fight south and fighting with the Han army in the wild. Sima Xin stopped Dong Yi and said, "There is no need. The Han thieves are coming far away, and the food and grass are inconvenient. They are also afraid that King Dai will also send troops to reinforce us. They will definitely hope to fight quickly. Since this is the case, why don't we wait patiently for them to arrive at the city of Jinyang, take the initiative to attack us, and then defeat his thief army with ease."

When Dong Yi heard the applause, he calmed down and asked his army to speed up the time to build a solid camp under Jinyang City and wait patiently for the arrival of the Han army. As a result, Uncle Zhou naturally did not disappoint them. Two days later, the Han army's partial division, which protected a large number of food and grass, finally arrived near Jinyang and established a camp in the area of ​​Gengyang, more than 20 miles away from Jinyang City. Sima Xin and Dong Yi were very happy when they heard the news and were ready to wait for the Han army's partial division to take the initiative to advance and die.

Unknown Zhou, the unknown, also exposed his character of the commander of the last rank. On the day he arrived near Jinyang, Uncle Zhou sent an envoy to bring the war letter to the camp to negotiate with the Jin-Zhai coalition forces, and asked Sima Xin and Dong Yi to lead the army to Gengyang the next day. The next day, he hoped that the quick battle would be decided. Sima Xin, who was expected to be in a hurry, smiled and refused, saying, "If you want to have a decisive battle, you can do it, but we are not interested in running so far to fight with you. If you want a decisive battle, you will go to the city of Jinyang. I will accompany you, King Zhai and your Han thieves to the end."

Seeing Sima Xin refused, the Han army envoy did not force it, and said goodbye and left after a tribute. However, just evening, Uncle Zhou began to take revenge on the Jin and Zhai coalition forces for their disrespect. That night, every other hour, a group of Han cavalry suddenly rushed to the camp of the Jin and Zhai coalition forces, beating gongs and drums, and used the signboard movements copied from Xu Da from Xiang Kang to disturb the Jin and Zhai coalition forces. The Jin and Zhai coalition forces were afraid that the Han army would suddenly come to an end in the ten false cases. Every time they were forced to dispatch troops to guard the camp, be careful of the embankment to the sudden launch of a sneak attack, which was tortured in great pain.

The situation changed the next day. In order to lure the Jin-Zhai coalition forces south to Gengyang to fight to the decisive battle, Uncle Zhou simply sent a thousand cavalry outside the Jin-Zhai coalition camp to insult the war. Sima Xin and Dong Yi were furious to dispatch cavalry to fight. However, just as soon as they saw the Jin-Zhai coalition forces sending troops, the Han cavalry immediately turned their horses and fled back to Gengyang camp. In a day, they used such shameless means three times.

The next night was the same. The Han cavalry took turns to move out of the camp of the Jin-Zhai coalition, and every once in a while they would shout and beat the gongs, disturbing the rest of the Jin-Zhai coalition. The soldiers of the Jin-Zhai coalition were full of complaints, and the anger of Sima Xin and Dong Yi began to accumulate in their hearts.

On the third day, Uncle Zhou's tricks were renovated. As soon as the genius dawn, he sent someone to send a letter to fight in Gengyang. After being rejected, the Han cavalry ran over the same day as before and seduced the Jin and Zhai coalition forces to send troops. He kept on fire and burned the anger of Sima Xin and Dong Yi. In the evening, Uncle Zhou actually sent an envoy to fight for the second time in a day. He also publicly threatened in the letter of the battle that if the Jin and Zhai coalition forces still refused to accept it, he would definitely try his best to make the Jin and Zhai coalition forces uneasy day and night.

I have never seen such a shameless person. Sima Xin and Dong Yi were furious. They were determined to fight to the decisive battle anyway, so they simply agreed to Uncle Zhou's appointment and agreed to fight Yu Gengyang the next day. Then, let alone, Uncle Zhou really fulfilled his promise and did not send cavalry to harass him that night, allowing Ansheng, a soldier from the Jin-Zhai coalition, to rest for a night.

In the early morning of the fourth day, in order to repay Uncle Zhou's words, Sima Xin and Dong Yi indeed led the main force of the Jin-Zhai coalition army to the south and fulfilled their promise to fight the Han army. However, what surprised Sima Xin and Dong Yi was that their troops had already set up formations outside the Han army camp, and the Han army was still quietly and without any movement, and no soldiers came out of the camp to fight. Just when Dong Yi and Sima Xin were inexplicably, their extremely familiar songs suddenly sounded in the Han army camp...

"There are cars and horses and white horses. I haven't seen a gentleman, but the temple's orders are from the temple. There are lacquer and zithers in the shang. When I see a gentleman, I sit on the drums and zithers. Now I don't have fun, and the dead are in the twelves. When I see a gentleman, I sit on the drums and zithers. Now I don't have fun, and the dead are in the twelves."

When they heard this song of Qin folk songs that they had been singing since childhood, Dong Yi and Sima Xin were confused about their minds. However, after singing the song "Che Neighbor", the melody in the Han military camp changed, and countless Han soldiers sang another Qin folk song in a neat manner...

"The reeds are green and the white dew turns into frost. The so-called beauty is on the side of the water. Follow it upstream, the road is blocked and long. Follow it upstream, and it seems to be in the middle of the water. The reeds are lush and the white dew has not dried. The so-called beauty is on the bottom of the water. Follow it upstream, and the road is blocked and rushing. Follow it upstream, and it seems to be in the water. The reeds are picking, but the white dew has not stopped. The so-called beauty is on the side of the water. Follow it upstream, and it seems to be in the water. Follow it upstream, and it is blocked and right. Follow it upstream, and it seems to be in the water."

The sad and ethereal "Jian Jia" made Sima Xin and Dong Yi, who were standing under the flag, couldn't help but remember a lot of their past events in Qin. When the Han army soldiers were about to finish all this song, Sima Xin and Dong Yi suddenly realized something was wrong. Many soldiers around them wiped their tears, and many soldiers couldn't help but sang folk songs from their hometowns with the Han army soldiers.

"I'm fooled!" Dong Yi and Sima Xin finally understood Uncle Zhou's vicious intentions - the core backbone of the Jin-Zhai coalition army, all of whom were Qin soldiers who surrendered to the coalition of princes, had not returned to their hometown for several years to reunite with their relatives. When they heard folk songs from their hometown, the old Qin soldiers in the Jin-Zhai coalition army naturally felt homesick, and their morale and fighting spirit were affected!

"When you meet the yellow bird, you stop at the thorn. Who follows the Duke Mu? The chariot of the son is dying. The one who keeps this dying is the specialty of a centurion. When you are in the cave, you are dying. The heavens of the other world will annihilate my good men! If you can redeem it, you will have a hundred people..."

At this time, another Qin folk song "Yellow Bird" was sung in the Han army camp. Sima Xin and Dong Yi did not dare to let their soldiers continue to appreciate it. They decisively urged the army to launch a strong attack on the Han army's camp. However, the Han army soldiers were still unwilling to fight. They were only to retreat to the enemy by arrows. The Jin-Zhai coalition forces were shot back several times by arrows. Whenever the war stopped and the shouts stopped, the Han army soldiers in the camp immediately sang Qin songs together to awaken the homesickness of the old soldiers of the Jin-Zhai coalition forces. All the new soldiers of the Han army were recruited in Qin, and they were neatly singing a few folk songs they had been familiar with since childhood. Of course, it was not a difficult thing.

He was keen to find that his army's morale had been significantly affected. Seeing Uncle Zhou breaking his promise and refused to send troops to fight, Sima Xin and Dong Yi discussed for a moment, and could only curse and quickly retreat to the camp to rest, so as not to shake the spirit of the army, and give the Han army a chance to take advantage of the situation. When the Han army generals saw him in the camp, they ran to Uncle Zhou to ask for the battle, requesting to take the opportunity to chase him. Uncle Zhou shook his head and said with a smile: "No hurry. Now Sima Xin and Dong Yi are both angry and anxious to find an opportunity to vent. The old soldiers in Qin in their army have just remembered their hometown, and they still have morale and fighting spirit to continue fighting. At this time, we are not sure that we can fight to the end at this time, and even if we win, the losses will definitely be great. There is no need to fight head-on now."

After saying that, Uncle Zhou waved his hand and called the two generals Chongda and Yang Xi, and ordered them: "You will take our troops to rest quickly and prepare dry food and drink water. After dark tonight, Yang Xi, you will bring three thousand cavalry and ambush into the dense forest of Luliang Mountain ten miles away from Jinyang. Chongda, you will bring five thousand infantry and ambush into the mountains and forests fifteen miles away from Jinyang. Be careful to hide your tracks and never be discovered by the enemy."

"Tomorrow morning, I will personally lead my troops to fight under Jinyang City, pretend to defeat and lure the enemy to chase after him. At that time, the enemy will definitely divide the troops into two groups and pursue them forward and backward. Yang Xi, remember that when the enemy's front army passes by your position, you must not attack. Let them go and let Chongda clean up them. When the enemy's rear army arrives at your position, you will send troops to attack their waists! Chongda, the same goes for Chongda, wait for a part of the enemy's front army to pass by, and then send troops to attack their waists!"
Chapter completed!
