Chapter 468: Put Da Qin’s underpants on! Ying Zheng’s choice!
Is Ying Zheng afraid?
It's just that when troops are approaching the city, facing the danger of national subjugation, they may become the king of subjugation.
Ying Zheng is not inexperienced!
At the age of nineteen, Ying Zheng was not afraid of the Five Nations Allied Forces that were fighting to the bitter end.
How could Ying Zheng, who was twenty-five years old, be afraid and panicked about Li Mu who was rushing towards Xianyang!
Making a quick judgment in his mind, Ying Zheng looked at Wang Ben:
"General Wang is willing to lead the troops to protect our country, the Qin Dynasty?!"
Wang Ben: ……
Can I say that I don’t want to?
Wang Jian has already gone to war as a general. If his son goes to war as a general again, the Wang family and his son will be too conspicuous!
And if this battle is fought successfully, it will be the credit for saving the building from collapse. Yingzheng will definitely reward Wang Ben heavily.
This is not at all in line with Wang’s steady approach!
But the crisis of national subjugation is imminent, and the generals of Great Qin who are capable of conquering and fighting have already come out in full force.
Looking at the generals who stayed in the court, the one who can fight the most is undoubtedly Wang Ben.
If Wang Ben rejects Ying Zheng, then he is really crazy!
So even if Wang Ben was reluctant, he handed over his hand without hesitation: "There is no absolute certainty in the final general."
"But if the king appoints the final general, the final general will also be Fight with your life!”
Ying Zheng laughed happily: “Good!”
“This way, everyone’s heart is at peace!”
Wang Ben felt bitter in his heart.
You may feel at ease, but you will feel panic at the end!
I still don’t know how Awen will teach his generals a lesson after his triumphant return!
But after he had responded to the order, Wang Ben quickly threw the negative emotions out of his mind and concentrated all his efforts on this battle. He said in a deep voice: "The shortcoming of our Daqin in this battle is that the enemy is numerous and we are outnumbered."
"The Zhao army has about 250,000 troops. In addition to the soldiers guarding various places, our Qin Dynasty only has 10,000 regular troops, 5,000 Neishijun soldiers and palace guards, a total of 20,000 troops available."
"The last general asked for orders to conquer all adults in Guanzhong who are over fourteen years old and under sixty years old."
"Only by gathering the strength of Guanzhong to fight can we have a chance of survival!"
Among the adults who have not been drafted so far, apart from the newly grown children, there are only disabled people, patients and old people in their sixties.
The combat effectiveness can be imagined.
Therefore, Ying Zhenglue pondered and then said in a deep voice: "There are only more than 20,000 adults in Guanzhong who are over fourteen years old and under sixty years old, which is not enough to stop the Zhao army."
"I want to make two out of five officials in Guanzhong join the army!"
"In this way, we can recruit thousands more elite soldiers."
"What do you think, dear friends?"
< br>Most of the grassroots officials are disarmed soldiers. The fighting power of these thousands of grassroots officials is more fierce than that of the 20,000 strong men.
But grassroots officials are also the core pillar supporting the operation of Da Qin, and they are the tentacles of the Da Qin court to implement its will throughout Da Qin. The loss of a few hundred people means the loss of the power to control a county.
Ying Zheng's move was tantamount to putting Da Qin's national foundation on the gambling table!
Once Wang Ben is defeated again, it will take at least twenty years for Great Qin to recover!
But the war situation has become so critical, and all the ministers are heartbroken, and they suddenly hand over their hands: "I second the proposal!"
Ying Zheng said in a deep voice: "In addition, I will allocate another two thousand Eunuchs, five hundred ministers, and Aiqing."
"A total of about 55,000 troops, all at the command of Aiqing!"
Eunuchs and ministers were Ying Zheng's last personal protective force, and they were also the official training center of Da Qin.
If we say that the transfer of grassroots officials is a bet on the foundation of the Qin Dynasty.
Then Ying Zheng allocating eunuchs and ministers to Wang Ben is tantamount to taking Da Qin's pants!
Wang Ben's heart arose with the urge to die for his confidant, but was quickly suppressed by his family motto, and he suddenly handed over his hand: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"With such strength, the final general You can also give it a try. ”
Wang Ben pointed the wooden stick in his hand at Pu Ban: "The general will give you advice. Tomorrow, the general will lead all the regular troops, county soldiers, guards, and boats to station in Pu Ban."
"Please send the order to the general again." Xin Wu abandoned Tunliu County and immediately broke out of the siege to gather his troops in Yin and Jin. "
"I ordered the general guarding Hangu Pass to never leave Hangu Pass and defend Hanguan regardless of the civil war situation in the pass. Guguan, wait for the reinforcements to arrive!"
"Order Chang'an Jun and General Jian to lead the main force to return immediately, without any delay."
"Order General Yang Duanhe to lead the rebel army to guard. Guangling, beware of Chu taking advantage of our Qin's weakness to gather troops to seize our Qin's territory again."
"Order Lieutenant General Yang Hu to lead a partial division northward and serve as Lieutenant General under General Meng Wu."
"Order General Meng Wu to attack Neihuang City with all his strength and threaten Handan, the capital of Zhao!"
Yang Duanhe It is difficult to win a battle, but it is even more difficult to defeat Yang Duanhe.
So Wang Ben only left a group of rebel troops for Yang Duanhe, in order to maximize Yang Duanhe's stubbornness.
Even if Yang Hu and Meng Wu, two N-generation soldiers, could not break through Neihuang City, their reputation alone was enough to make Zhao Guo wary and increase the tendency of King Zhao to recall Li Mu.
But the most important thing is Ying Zheng's safety, so Wang Ben hopes that the main force of the Chu army can quickly return reinforcements to ensure that Ying Zheng is safe!
As long as Wang Jian and Ying Chengyu return, Wang Ben will be able to relieve himself of his heavy burden and fish happily!
Ying Zheng was thoughtful: "Ai Qing intends to hold Pu Ban to block the enemy and wait for Lord Chang'an to return for reinforcements."
"At the same time, force King Zhao to recall Lord Zhao Wu'an?"
Wang Ben nodded, then shook his head: "This general is indeed waiting for reinforcements, and I also hope to force King Zhao to recall Lord Zhao Wu'an."
"However, our army is weak. If we hold on to one city, it will be difficult to hold on and completely block the enemy's army in one city."
"The reason why I chose to station in Pu Ban is because Pu Ban It is adjacent to the Yellow River and has a developed water system. ""But the Zhao army came by land, and there were no boats in the army."
"The general will use the water system around Puban to intercept. Harass the exhausted Zhao army and attack the Zhao army head-on at Puban!"
"When our army is exhausted, we will immediately leave the Yellow River from Puban Port and use our Daqin Navy to continue weakening Zhao on the Yellow River! Army.”
Wei Liao said solemnly: "But the natural danger of the Yellow River alone is not enough to stop the 200,000 Zhao army."
"The Zhao army is likely to divide its troops, use one force to entangle General Wang, and then let the main force take advantage of it." Crossing the Yellow River with a light boat."
Wang Ben nodded: "This is inevitable."
"When the Zhao army wants to cross the Yellow River, our troops will immediately cross. Go down the Wei River and attack and kill the Zhao army along the way. "And use the cities of Yueyang and Qi along the way to constantly harass, attack and weaken the Zhao army!"
Wei Liao and others were all stunned: "General Wang wants to release the Zhao army to the final territory?!"
The final city is the last city blocking the front of Xianyang City.
If the battlefield is placed in the wild, then Xianyang City will be in danger!
Wang Ben said calmly: "Not just the land, our troops may retreat to Xianyang City in this battle, or even abandon Xianyang City!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was in an uproar:
"Abandon Xianyang City? Doesn't that mean that we are giving up the capital of Great Qin to others?"
"If Xianyang falls, this battle will be no different from defeat!"
"How could General Wang do this? Idea! ”
This is the capital city that has carried the glory of the Qin Dynasty for more than a hundred years!
It is not a one-time capital city like Chu State!
Just say you don’t want it?
Wang Ben ignored the noise of the ministers at all, but looked at Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty, our great Qin's small number of soldiers in this battle is an unavoidable shortcoming."
"But my great Qin also The advantage is the vast territory and the army that has been on the field and won consecutive victories!"
"The final general believes that temporarily losing a city and a place is not unacceptable."
"It takes time to attack a city, it takes time to pursue, and what Da Qin lacks most is precisely time!"
"If we can delay Zhao Jun's advance with one city and one land, our main force of Da Qin will have time to return reinforcements."
"General Meng Wu also has the means to break through Neihuang City and force Handan City. Time."
"Whether Chang'an Jun leads the main force to return reinforcements, or General Meng Wu leads a partial force to attack Handan City, we, the Qin Dynasty, can win this battle."
"Don't talk about this battle! Zhao Jun captured Xianyang City. "
"Even if Zhao Jun takes all the land in Guanzhong, Da Qin will have to retreat to Bashu, and all the territory gained by Zhao Jun will be taken back by Da Qin!"
Wang Ben has already made an escape plan.
If Li Mu is really unstoppable, then give up the entire Guanzhong area and retreat to Bashu.
If Li Mu continues to pursue him, he will also give up Bashu and run along the Han River to Yingcheng, the old capital of Chu State, or even run all the way along the Yangtze River to Shouchun City!
After three thousand miles of fighting, they are still within the territory of Daqin, and they will continue to receive supplies of food, grass, and young men along the way!
Can the Zhao army hold on during the expedition?
Can Handan City withstand Mengwu's violent attack?
Will it take that long for the main force of the Qin army to catch up with the Zhao army?
Can Zhao Guo be able to withstand this strategy change?
Wei Liao, Wei Zhuang and other courtiers' eyes widened: "Not only do we have to give up Xianyang City, we might even give up Guanzhong Land?"
"Without Guanzhong Land, Da Qin, is it still Da Qin? ”
crazy!
Wang Ben’s idea is too crazy!
Wang Ben cupped his hands and said in a deep voice: "If we adopt this strategy, we will be sure to win this battle."
"I will pay my respects to the king and all my colleagues and march westward to Yongdu immediately. And be ready to march to Bashu!"
Kai Zhuang quickly handed over: "Your Majesty, no!"
"Once we wait to advance westward, the troops will have no fighting spirit and the people will be disappointed."
"Even if we win this battle, the Zhao army will inflict heavy damage to our Great Qin Guanzhong area that will take decades to recover, and it will even cause The people of Qin are at odds with me, the Qin Dynasty!”
Hasty migration will always leave a lot of people behind.
Some of these people are the parents of frontline soldiers, and some are the wives of frontline soldiers.
When soldiers on the front lines hear that their hometown has fallen, will they feel worried?
Will they brave death in order to live a good life for their families whose lives are uncertain?
Changing tactics may indeed alleviate the predicament, but it may also drag Da Qin into the abyss!
Wang Ben said solemnly: "I believe in the soldiers on the front line, and even more in Lord Chang'an!"
Even enemy bandits can be deceived into defecting to Great Qin.
Wang Ben was not worried at all that Ying Chengyu could not stabilize the morale of the frontline soldiers.
Daqin’s top lobbyist, do you want to know?
The ministers and generals were arguing endlessly about Wang Ben's strategy, while Ying Zheng was thinking carefully with his eyes fixed.
Ying Zheng admitted that Wang Ben’s strategy was sound.
But this strategy will also bring heavy losses to Da Qin!
Once Da Qin withdraws from Guanzhong, Ying Zheng cannot be sure whether Li Mu will massacre Guanzhong like Bai Qi did in the past!
Even if Ying Zheng successfully escapes, what will happen to the future of Da Qin?
After pondering for a long time, Ying Zheng finally spoke: "Order!"
"Within three days, all the courtiers and the head of Xianyang, Guizhou rushed to Yongcheng."
"Secretary ministers and eunuchs Follow me to station in Xianyang!”
