723 Swift as the wind

Xingyang.

The situation in Zhao land suddenly rose, and the sudden change made all the staff in the mansion even more busy.

On the topographic map, the power of the two sides has changed, which has had a profound impact on the surrounding situation.

"Your Majesty, in the battle of Jipusai, the defense line on the south bank of Zhangshui was broken."

As Zhang Liang spoke, he raised his head, only to find that Zhao Shuang was looking at the scenery outside, not paying attention to the military map at all.

"How did the thornbush break?"

"The bandit chief Xiang Shaoyu led five thousand cavalry across the plain, and when the general defending the Jipu Sai was well prepared, he beheaded the defender in front of the formation and captured Jipu Sai."

"There should be [-] defenders in that area. Didn't they retake it afterwards?"

As soon as Li Shiqi returned to Xingyang, he rushed to the shogunate. Hearing this, he was very strange.

"The thieves guarded Yingbu for three days. On the evening of the third day, the [-] troops near Zhangshui attacked the last barrier. But they were attacked by a small group of Wei troops from behind, and the success fell short. Soon after, Xiang Shao Yu and Zhang Er led the army to arrive and entered the Jibusai."

"It's not easy for this Yingbu to be able to defend for three days with a force several times that of our own." Li Shiqi murmured, but at the same time felt strange, "Where did this Wei army come from?"

"The scouts in front are vague, and they don't know the information of this Wei army."

"Strange, our army scouts have always been rigorous. Why didn't we find this Wei army in the early battlefield investigation? Is it because the soldiers are slack, or is the general of this Wei army not a mortal?"

Li Shiqi didn't get an answer to his question, nor did he expect one.

At this moment, Chen Ping got the result of the calculation of a group of staff.

"Your Majesty, in the battle of Jipusai, the Zhangshui defense line was completely lost, and we can no longer trap the Zhao army."

Everyone is waiting for Zhao Shuang's order.

"Order the [-] defenders in Fanyang Fort, Dangyin Fort, and Huangcheng Fort to withdraw to Anyang."

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhao Shuang followed the sound and immediately conveyed the order.

The withdrawal of the soldiers and horses of these three fortresses almost meant that the imperial army gave up the front line of the river and took the initiative to let the three armies of Wei, Chu and Zhao join forces.

Everyone present knew what Zhao Shuang's intention was, because immediately after, Zhao Shuang issued another order.

"Order Chai Wu to lead [-] Yulin to garrison Aocang, and Jin Xi to lead an army to garrison Chenggao."

"promise!"

Today's Zhangshui defense line is not the iron wall it was when Zhao was still alive.

After the empire ruled the world, they dismantled the Great Wall and barriers built by the six countries on their respective borders, leaving only the Northern Great Wall where the Yanzhao two countries dealt with the Hu people at the border. Based on this, the Great Wall was expanded into the Great Wall.

Of course, this made the transportation between counties and counties of the empire more convenient, but it also became a double-edged sword during wartime.

"Next, will Zhao Jun attack Handan?"

"probably not!"

Zhang Liang shook his head.At that time, Wuchen went north and took over more than [-] cities in Zhao State. Except for the more than ten cities in the front where military conflicts occurred, almost all the cities behind were settled by lobbying.

Not long ago, Quicksand launched a coup in Zhao State, and took Handan almost without bloodshed.

This also means that this world giant has not suffered much damage.

If the Zhao army wants to fight Handan, the situation is the same as that encountered by the imperial army when it wants to fight Julu, that is, there are not enough troops.

To besiege the city, at least nearly 20 troops are needed, as well as a steady supply of food and grass.

"Now Ye, Handan and Zhongshan are all in our army's hands. It is too risky for Zhao Jun to attack Handan."

"However, Zhao Jun's scattered soldiers and horses will gather one after another. Now that the road has been opened, if Handan is not attacked, the offensive and defensive momentum has changed."

Then, a big battle will break out.

The ultimate goal of all countries is to break into Guanzhong, but the route of march is different.

"Handan is here, so it is impossible for Zhao Jun to march from Shangdang."

"There are 11 troops in Hanoi and Ye. It should be no problem to defend Guangyang Road, but it should not be underestimated."

……

A group of staff were discussing miscellaneously, discussing the details of the redeployment of the imperial army.

Zhao Guo joined the army of princes, which means that the battlefield has expanded.

To attack Hangu, there is actually more than one route.

For Zhao Jun, he can march from Shangdang and Hanoi. As long as Luoyang can be captured, it is meaningless to continue to stick to Xingyang.

The transportation route from Guanzhong to Xingyang will be blocked, and the situation of mountains and rivers occupied by the imperial army will also disappear.

Moreover, marching from Hanoi has a relatively large advantage, and the terrain along the way is relatively flat.Except for a big river to the north of Luoyang, there is no danger to defend.

The important thing is that if Hanoi's 11 army is defeated, the current imperial army does not have enough troops to defend Luoyang in the rear.

A group of staff analyzed the situation between the enemy and ourselves and made a relatively conservative deployment plan.

But Zhao Shuang still didn't turn around at this time, but looked at the scenery outside the mansion.

The dark clouds were moving, and a heavy rain was about to fall.

"Your Majesty, although our army is at a disadvantage, the battle line is still solid. Unless something changes, the problem will not be serious."

Just as Zhang Liang finished speaking, a bolt of lightning fell from the sky, and thunder rolled.

"Prime Minister! Prime Minister!"

There was an urgent sound from outside.

"A rebellion broke out in Yongcheng, and a group of rebellious officials took the emperor with them and headed towards Xianyang."

There was a bang, and the hearts of all the staff in the mansion seemed to explode. They looked at each other, but there was no sound.

Whether it was the rebellious ministers who coerced the emperor, or the emperor launched the rebellious ministers, for a while, everyone's hearts were beating.

But even if it is the latter, everyone can only say it is the former.

The only thing that was certain was that their rear was on fire.

Everyone saw that Zhao Shuang finally turned around.

"Order Hussar General to lead the people back to guard the pass to meet and rescue the emperor."

"promise!"

……

"Da Si Nong, there are thousands of rebels, most of them are the private soldiers and servants of some old ministers. They robbed the armor and weapons in a local arsenal and are heading towards Xianyang."

"Call together the servants, private soldiers, and servants of the ministers in the city, and then order the lieutenant army to patrol day and night. From today onwards, the shops and markets will be closed, and a curfew will be imposed. All the ministers and nobles in Xianyang City, the disciples of various schools, and foreign merchants are not allowed to move around. .If anyone violates the order, no matter what the reason is, he will be executed immediately."

Xiao He gave the order.Zhao Shuang is not here, he is in charge of Guanzhong affairs, and has the right to kill first and then play.

"promise!"

Just when the subordinates in his mansion were about to convey the order, Xiao He's complexion changed, he drew out his long sword and swung it at the subordinates.

When the sound.

The subject was frightened and limp on the ground, raised his head, and saw Xiao He holding a sword, blocking the top of him, blocking another sword that wanted to harvest his life.

"Hide the sun?"

He couldn't succeed with a single blow to cover the sun, so he retreated immediately, keeping a certain distance from Xiao He.

"I didn't expect to meet a big man in this small Dasinong's mansion." He smiled slightly, "Sword Master Chunjun? I knew it was impossible for Zhao Shuang to let a small man sit in the rear."

"Go pass the order first!"

Xiao He said calmly, and let the subordinates leave first.During this process, Zheri remained motionless.Because Xiao He didn't move.

"Good manners!"

Covered the sun with a praise.

He could feel that the person in front of him was not an ordinary person, and his cultivation base was profound.But Bing Ri did not expect that shortly after the subject left, Xiao He asked a question.

"Where's the Six Swordsman?"

"What do you mean?"

"There is only one swordsman with a first-class sky character, does Luo Wang dare to disturb the wind and rain in this pass?"

As soon as the words were finished, Biri felt the intent of two swords rushing towards him, one from the left and the other from the right.

Zhe Ri was astonished, how could there be such a master under Zhao Shuang's command?He hurriedly dodged, and vaguely saw the two swords that were attacking him.

Able Mo Xie?
