Chapter 107 Hexi Linjin
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister of the country."
After explaining Long Jia's response in Hexi, Gongsun Qi immediately bowed to Wei Feng and Gongshu Cuo respectively.
Then he saw Gongsun Qi gently clenching his left hand into a fist and slowly withdrawing it in front of Wei Feng and Gongshu Cuo.
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, please take a look. My left hand is like the 50,000 Hexi garrison of Wei State at this moment. Hexi Commander Long Jia's previous response to the Qin army is just like the way I took back my left hand."
After watching Gongsun Qi's actions and listening to his words, a look of understanding suddenly appeared on Gongsun Qi's face.
"This will not only reunite the scattered forces in one place, but also attract most of the Qin army's attention."
“In doing so, we really achieve two goals with one stone.”
Hearing Uncle Cuo's comments about Long Jia, Wei Feng immediately showed a smile on his face. Long Jia's response gave him some confidence in this battle in Hexi.
At the same time, Wei Feng was also feeling lucky for his original decision. Judging from this incident alone, it was undoubtedly correct for him to appoint Long Jia as the commander-in-chief of the Hexi garrison.
However, just when Wei Feng was sighing in his heart that he had used people properly, Gongshu Cuo, who had been so impressed just now, seemed to have thought of something again, and there was a hint of contemplation in his eyes.
After pondering for a moment, Gongshu Cuo immediately asked Gongsun Qi his doubts.
"Sima just said that this is not the right moment for Pang Juan's army to march eastward? Then I wonder when is the right moment that Sima said?"
Facing the questioning glances that Gongshu Cuo and Wei Feng directed at him, Gongsun Qi's face immediately showed a look of confidence.
"I have just told your Majesty and the Prime Minister that the fifty thousand troops stationed in Hexi are like my left hand."
While raising his left hand, Gongsun Qi raised his right hand in front of the two of them, "And my right hand is the 100,000 troops under General Pang Juan."
After finishing speaking, Gongsun Qi stretched out his left hand again, "Now that the Hexi garrison is retreating step by step, the Qin army will definitely take advantage of the situation and advance eastward."
"When all the Qin army's attention is attracted by the left hand of the Hexi garrison..."
Gongsun Qi suddenly stopped mid-sentence, and when Wei Feng and Gongshu Cuo looked at him with burning eyes, he suddenly waved his right fist.
"This is the time when the army under General Pang Juan crossed the river west and dealt a fatal blow to Qin."
…
Wei State, Hexi, Linjincheng.
A big river rolls forward, and it has flowed for who knows how many years...
In these extremely long years, this great river has witnessed the rise and eventual decline of the forces on its shores.
For example, this land called Linjin has changed its owners one after another in the past thousand years.
During the Western Zhou Dynasty, this place was once the fiefdom of Rui State.
In the early years of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, King Ping of Zhou killed his father by his son, which not only led to the loss of the authority of the Zhou family, but also gave the tribes such as the Quan Rong in the north an opportunity to go south to Guanzhong.
As the Quanrong army marched into Haojing of the Zhou Dynasty, the owner of this land was changed from the Rui Kingdom to the Lirong tribe who followed the Quanrong southward.
At that time, this large Li Rong tribe who went south built dozens of cities in Hexi and called themselves the Great Li Rong Kingdom. Their power was even comparable to that of Yiqu in the north of the Qin State.
As the river surged forward, time moved from the Spring and Autumn Period to the Warring States Period. At this time, Duke Li of Qin was in power in the State of Qin.
In the 16th year of Qin Li's reign, that is, in 461 BC, the Qin State attacked the Dali Rong Kingdom with 20,000 elite troops. The Qin State army successfully captured the Dali King City. The defeated Dali army could only flee north in a hurry.
escape.
After successfully overthrowing the great Li Rong Kingdom, the Qin State built a fortified city on its original land to face the Jin State. This city was Linjin.
Time flashed forward and another thirty years passed. At this time, the Qin State not only had the domestic concubine group growing in power, but also faced threats from Yiqu in the north.
Taking advantage of Qin's domestic and foreign troubles, the Wei State, which was still the Wei family at the time, decisively sent troops to attack Qin and incorporated the Linjin City into its territory.
In the past few decades, Qin and Wei had won many battles in the Hexi region, with many defeats and even had to retreat to the front line of Luoshui.
Linjin, a Hexi strong city close to the river and Hexi to the east, was naturally firmly in the hands of Wei.
However, as the Qin State poured out all the power of the country and sent 150,000 troops to retake Hexi, Linjin, a city in the hinterland of Hexi, also clearly felt that the war was approaching step by step.
Standing on the top of the city of Linjin, Long Jia, the commander-in-chief of Hexi in the Wei Kingdom, was looking intently at the outside of the city.
Although the distant wilderness was still peaceful at the moment, Long Jia felt as if there were waves of sounds of fighting and iron horses ringing in his ears, and black figures seemed to appear in front of his eyes.
He knew that the team named Qin Army would appear outside this city soon.
Suddenly, a strong gust of wind came, blowing the red Wei flags above the city head loudly.
The sound brought Long Jia back from his thoughts to reality. He slowly retracted his gaze outside the city and raised his head to look up at the flags.
His left hand couldn't help but press the hilt of the sword at his waist. A chilling air appeared in his eyes. At this moment, Long Jia's heart was full of fighting spirit.
Just at this moment, a burst of footsteps appeared behind Long Jia.
"General, all the generals have arrived at the main hall."
Slowly letting go of his hand from the hilt of the sword, the chill in his eyes gradually disappeared, and Long Jia, who regained his composure, walked down the Linjin City step by step.
A moment later, the sergeant's extremely loud voice suddenly sounded outside the main hall of the city lord's mansion.
"General Long Jia has arrived..."
A sound of armor clashing sounded outside the main hall, and everyone's eyes looked outside the hall door in unison.
As Long Jia's figure appeared in everyone's sight, all the Wei army generals present gave a military salute.
"The general will see you at the end."
"Generals don't need to be polite."
He strode into the main hall and quickly walked among the generals. After a few breaths, Long Jia was already standing in front of the general.
Calm and somewhat majestic gazes passed over the Wei army generals below, and Long Jia's slightly deep voice appeared in their ears.
"Today we have summoned all the generals to come, not to do anything else, but to talk about the enemy."
"In this attack on Hexi, the Qin State sent Zhang Yu as the chief general, Ying Qian, Shu Changguo as the deputy generals, and sent a total of 150,000 troops."
In the main hall, a group of Wei army generals stood upright, and everyone's eyes were focused on the map of Hexi hanging in front of them.
As a wooden pole moved rapidly on the map, the general direction of the Qin army's eastward advance was clearly displayed in front of the Wei army generals present.
