Songcheng.

The death camp was attacking, and it looked like it was in a stalemate.

"Han Bi led an army of 70,000 to cross Yingshui. With 70,000, a decisive battle is not that interesting." Han Ji sympathized with the family member's experience. "If it were a decisive battle, at least 100,000 troops would be needed. Otherwise, he would not dare to face us."

"

"But the initiative in this battle is in our hands. If he assembles an army of 100,000, not to mention whether Bianjing can mobilize so many people and horses in a hurry, what will happen to the food and grass? It's not a small amount for people to eat horse chews." He Lianrong said.

.

"The Southern Zhou Dynasty is not short of these." Han Ji was a little envious of his opponent, "If you are willing, the Southern Zhou Dynasty can mobilize an army of 200,000."

"The so-called large army that has not been drilled is of no use except causing chaos." He Lianrong said.

"It can scare people after all!" Han Ji said with a smile.

The King of Qin was watching the siege. When he heard the two arguing about the matter, he said: "In such a hurry, where do you ask Nian Xu to mobilize an army of 200,000?"

"It's still too late." Yang Luejiu was in the Southern Zhou Dynasty for a long time and knew the situation better. "The Southern Zhou Dynasty has no shortage of manpower, and the people are more gentle and obedient than the people of the Tang Dynasty. They can raise a large army through recruitment. Now they only lack training.

Already."

These words imply that this battle must be resolved quickly.

"There is no need to worry about this." King Qin said: "It's not that Gu is looking down on Nian Xu. As long as he defeats Han Bi, Southern Zhou will be the winner in Gu's eyes!"

Han Ji said: "Once Han Bi is gone, the Southern Zhou Dynasty will no longer have an army commander."

"How is Sun Shi?" He Lianrong asked.

"This man is tough, but he knows nothing about commanding the army." He Lianyan introduced Sun Shi's situation, "However, the army is quite sympathetic to Sun Shi."

"Sun Shi's new policy included a strong army. A strong army must treat its soldiers well. The warriors of the Southern Zhou Dynasty had been suppressed for hundreds of years and were like pigs and dogs. Sun Shi's move made them grateful."

Han Ji's conspiracy theory emerged: "I feel that Sun Shi's final resignation may have something to do with this matter."

"Are you saying that Sun Shi's prestige in the military has greatly increased due to the New Deal, and Nian Xu is afraid of him?" He Lianrong said.

"While Southern Zhou suppressed and guarded against warriors, they also had to beware of those who had too high a reputation in the army. This was the case with the famous Southern Zhou general Chen Di," Han Ji sneered.

More than twenty years ago, mountain people rebelled in the southwest of the Southern Zhou Dynasty. The local government was incompetent and was swept into many places by the rebels. Bianjing mobilized the army and ordered civil servants to lead the army to suppress it, but the result was a disastrous defeat.

The monarchs and ministers of Bianjing did not believe in evil and once again sent civil servants to lead the army.

Failed miserably again.

This time it was terrible...not only was the army defeated, but the rebels also attacked and massacred the city.

This caused a sensation. The monarchs and ministers of the Southern Zhou Dynasty did not dare to send civilian officials out for the third time. They shyly ordered the military general Chen Di to lead his army to suppress the rebellion.

Three months!

It only took Chen Di three months to beat the rebels into dogs.

Not only were all the cities recaptured, but the rebels' lair was also invaded and dug out.

"Bianjing was dumbfounded."

Han Ji said disdainfully: "When those two civil servants were defeated, Bianjing made excuses for them, saying...the army was corrupt. But Chen Di took action and wiped out the rebels in March. Now those people have no shame to defend them.

Whitewash."

"According to the Southern Zhou Dynasty's ancestral system of using culture to control military force, Chen Di will probably be unlucky."

Tu Shang thought of his ancestors.

He was also suspected at first, but later he returned home to retire after drinking some wine to relieve his military power.

"After returning, Chen Di was promoted to deputy privy envoy. After that, people continued to impeach him for plotting rebellion. At first, Chen Di was furious and argued with those people. But the emperor was noncommittal..."

Han Ji sneered and said: "The civil servants knew as soon as they saw the emperor's acquiescence, so they gathered together to attack. In the end, they forced Chen Di to stay behind closed doors. But even so, the civil servants still refused to give up... In the end, Chen Di

Di was exiled, humiliated by local officials, and hanged himself in the inn."

A famous general who made great contributions to the Southern Zhou Dynasty, and could be said to be a famous general who turned the tide, was killed by the combined efforts of the Southern Zhou Dynasty monarchs and ministers.

Everyone was silent.

King Qin asked A Liang, "How does A Liang feel?"

Ah Liang said: "There is no reason why the Southern Zhou Dynasty should not be destroyed."

"Exactly."

King Qin smiled and said: "Inform the whole army about this."

Chen Di's experience spread throughout the northern Xinjiang army, causing an uproar.

"So the monarchs and ministers of Southern Zhou Dynasty are so shameless?"

"It was too miserable to join the army in the Southern Zhou Dynasty!"

High morale ensued.

"Your Highness!"

The scouts brought news about Han Bi.

"Han Bi led his army to Jinzhou."

"Is this reinforcement?" Han Ji stroked his beard, "I think Han Bi will definitely not dare to fight our army decisively, so this is a containment."

King Qin ordered: "Keep an eye on Han Ji. In addition, Tu Shang leads an army of five thousand to be on guard."

Tu Shang led his army and set off.

Halfway through, he met Han Bi's scouts.

The two sides were chasing each other. Tu Shang did not pay attention to this side, but looked into the distance.

The five thousand riders continued to move forward.

Until the afternoon, when he saw the smoke and dust in the distance, Tu Shang said: "Han Bi is coming."

…

"Prime Minister Han, there are five thousand Northern Xinjiang cavalry in front of us."

Han Bi learned the news in the Chinese army and asked: "Who is leading the army?"

"Tu Shang!"

Han Bi was silent.

The staff sighed: "There is no shortage of talents in the Zhou Dynasty, but...the talents are not put to good use."

The two sides faced each other from a distance.

Tu Shang glanced at the army and said, "Let's go!"

Naturally, it was impossible for five thousand cavalry to stop Han Bi's army. Tu Chang led his army to patrol around the army and monitor it.

That night, a cavalry group raided Tu Shang's camp.

Fortunately, a hidden sentinel on the outer perimeter warned in time, and the five thousand cavalrymen withdrew from the camp in time.

The Southern Zhou army burned down the opponent's camp and then returned.

The purpose of this raid is not to defeat Tu Shang...

On the afternoon of the second day, Tu Shang abandoned his tent and baggage and had to lead his army back.

"Han Bi's move is quite interesting."

The King of Qin did not blame Tu Chang. Facing such a powerful opponent, it was a great achievement for Tu Chang to return safely with five thousand cavalry.

Subsequently, Han Bi's army gradually moved closer to Jinzhou.

"Boom!"

Under the bombardment of trebuchets, part of Songcheng's city wall collapsed.

Immediately, the death camp swarmed up.

"Down!"

The guard dropped his sword and knelt down, but was still killed by the red-eyed death battalion sergeant.

"Your Highness has an order not to kill prisoners!"

King Qin's military order arrived in time and stopped an out-of-control killing.

But King Qin still found some signs.

"Since the inception of the army, death battalions have been at the forefront of every battle, suffering heavy casualties. Not everyone can face the threat of death every day."

King Qin said: "Let the death camp rest."

In this way, Jinzhou will be attacked by the pure Northern Xinjiang army.

"Do you have confidence?" King Qin asked.

Pei Jian said: "Your Highness, don't worry!"
