Chapter 3 Ten: The Battle of Zitong Water ([-])
Just when Chang Yuchun dispatched troops, in the camp of the Qin Army, Wang Feng had a dark face, while the generals of the Qin Army below, Sima Gong, directly tied his right arm. In today's battle, he was killed. Huang Mu injured his right arm, and he believed that he would not be able to do anything in a short time. This meant that the Qin army lost another combat power.
"You all saw Deng Jun's strength today, let's talk about it." Wang Feng said expressionlessly.
Geng Yue said: "Deng Jun's strength is very strong, even stronger than our previous estimate. Deng Jun's fierce generals are like clouds. I heard that in the battle of Deng Wei Changshe, Deng Jun's fierce generals gathered, and Wei Jun couldn't stop them at all. So if we talk about generals, our army It is far inferior to Deng Jun, if you want to win, you must plan it slowly."
"Take it slowly, but the actual situation does not allow us to take it slowly." After listening to Geng Yue's words, Wang Feng sighed. Of course he knew that he should not be impatient when fighting against a strong army like Deng Jun, but this time he went south to Shu, It can be said that Qin State has exhausted everything. Qin State has just taken over Guanzhong, and the money and food needed for this trip to the south this time are still obtained from the batch of food that was exchanged for war horses and Deng Guo.
Everyone sighed when they heard Wang Feng's words. It's very hard for the logistics to be inferior to Deng Jun. Qin Jun is indeed good at fighting, but he can't stand Qin Guoqiong. The broken place in Xiliang can't support Qin Guo's struggle for hegemony at all. In the world, Guanzhong is fine, but the problem is that after fighting with Han for several years, Guanzhong is almost broken. Without a few years of sorting out, it can't recover at all. Seeing that both Deng and Zhao have basically completed their strategic layout, And Qin State is still worrying about the food problem, which is why Qin State insists on going south to Bashu at this time, conquering Bashu, obtaining a grain base, and sending blood for the world.
I thought that with the help of Meng Chengting, it would be easy for the Qin army to take down Bashu, but who would have thought that Deng Jun would intervene, let alone that the strength of the Shu army was not good, but they were so tenacious in resisting. Fucheng blocked Qin's army for a month, allowing them to hold out until Deng's army came to help.
If Bashu cannot be captured this time, then Bashu will definitely fall into the hands of Deng Guo. Then in the future, if Qin Guo wants to seize the grain base, it will have to compete with Zhao Guo for territory.
"Starting from today, send someone to watch Deng Jun's every move to death, as soon as Deng Jun makes a move, come and tell me immediately." Wang Feng sighed and said, there is no good way for now, he can only wait and see what happens up.
In this way, the two armies of Deng and Qin stalemate in the Zitong water area. From the end of March to the beginning of September in the 20th year of Qianyuan, there was no major movement. However, the two armies still made some attempts, but they all returned in vain. And at this time, Qin Jun's logistics had already begun to have problems.
The situation cannot be opened for a long time. Not only the Qin army is anxious, but also Meng Chengyou, the prince of Shu who is far away in Chengdu, is also very anxious. No, he is no longer the prince of Shu. The reason is that all the changes that happened in Shu a month ago can finally be hidden The old king of Shu who was sick in bed, after learning that Meng Chengting had treasoned the country and led the Qin army into Shu, the old king of Shu was so angry that he died directly. With the support of all the ministers, Meng Chengyou succeeded to the king of Shu.
When the [-] Deng troops entered Shu, all the food, grass, and supplies needed had to be borne by the state of Shu. Although the food was nothing to the state of Shu, the Deng army had been in a stalemate with the Qin army since it entered Shu. It passed, and there was no progress at all, so Meng Chengyou was not very happy, and even doubted whether Deng Jun did not work hard, so he sent someone to Fucheng to meet Jiang Huang, and asked him to urge Deng Jun.
"Hmph! What does this Jiang Huang mean? Did he send you to teach me how to use soldiers?" Chang Yuchun cursed at Jiang Huang in front of the envoy sent by Jiang Huang in Deng Jun's tent.
The messenger below was trembling, and he didn't dare to take a breath, for fear that Chang Yuchun would chop him off the sacrificial flag in a fit of anger.
After Chang Yuchun lost his temper, he also calmed down slowly, and said to the messenger: "Go back and tell Jiang Huang that you don't need him to teach you how to use soldiers. If he has the ability, then ask him to bring his subordinates. How can the Qin army fight against the Shu army, or I will just stay in Fucheng obediently."
"Yes, yes!" The messenger said yes in a cold sweat, and then withdrew.
After the envoy left, Fazheng said to Chang Yuchun, "Why should the general be angry? In fact, it is understandable that Jiang Huang and the king of Shu are so anxious. After all, the food, grass and supplies of our army of [-] troops are not a small number. It will be fine in a short time." , if it takes a long time, even the rich and prosperous Shu Kingdom will not be able to bear it."
"I don't know why this general, but I just don't know why. I just want to lose my temper and I can't control it. After the meeting, the French army division will write a letter to Jiang Huang in the name of this general, so that Jiang Huang won't lose his temper." Huang misunderstood, the Qin army has not yet retreated, and it is not the time to turn against Shu."
"Here!" Fazheng responded first, and then said: "But General, our army still needs to speed up a bit. Bashu is such a damn place, it's so hot in summer, and if it goes on like this, the soldiers will have to hold on fast." Can't stop."
After entering June, Bashu was very hot and couldn't bear it at all. Many people in Deng Jun had suffered from heat stroke. Who is better off.
Thinking of this, Chang Yuchun sighed, and said: "The general also knows that with the logistics of the Qin army, he would not be able to last for a long time, but who would have thought that Wang Feng would be so patient."
"General!" At this time, Zhang Liao came in from the outside and said, "General, there is a Qin soldier outside who came to challenge our army."
"Oh? Let's take a look!" Chang Yuchun took the letter of war from Zhang Liao, opened it, and it said that Wang Feng wanted to fight Deng Jun three days later.
After reading it, Chang Yuchun said with a happy face: "It seems that Wang Feng finally couldn't hold on anymore, and I made an offer for a decisive battle in three days. But if you, Wang Feng, want a decisive battle, will I accompany you? General Zhang, You send someone to the camp of the Qin army and tell Wang Feng that the general will not agree to a decisive battle, and at the same time pass down an order that all ministries should strengthen their defenses and be ready to deal with the Qin army's offensive at any time."
"Here!" Zhang Liao responded.
After more than two months of confrontation, the Qin army's logistics has gradually become unsustainable. Even the king of Qin sent people to urge Wang Feng to resolve the battle in Bashu as quickly as possible. You must know that the Qin army's food and grass are all from Hanzhong. It was transported here, and the grain in Hanzhong was transported from Chang'an, Guanzhong. After this journey, the original 12 shi grains, half of which was transported to Zitong would be very good, and this half of the grain would be enough for 2 Qin troops. It's only ten and a half months, and don't forget, Qin Jun's food still needs to supply [-] men under Meng Chengting, which makes it even more dwarfed by comparison.
So after much consideration, Wang Feng decided to have a decisive battle with Deng Jun, but the result was destined to disappoint Wang Feng. Chang Yuchun did not fight him, but continued to strengthen his defense, making it clear that the decisive battle was It's impossible to fight decisively, so you can call if you have the ability. Anyway, it's not me who is worried now, which makes Wang Feng feel very uncomfortable.
In the tent of the Qin Army's Central Army, Wang Feng looked at Chang Yuchun's reply letter in his hand, his expression was ugly, and he said, "This Chang Yuchun clearly wants to consume our army."
"Then, General Wang, what should we do?" Qin Army General Bai Chen asked, Bai Chen is Bai Qi's elder brother, but it is obvious that he does not have Bai Qi's ability.
"Hmph!" Wang Feng snorted coldly, and said, "Chang Yuchun's wishful thinking is very good, but this general will not give him a chance to kill our army, so I will send an order to gather troops and prepare to attack Deng Junda. At the same time, he told the soldiers that none of us would be able to return to Guanzhong unless we defeated Deng Jun. If we wanted to reunite with our families, we would beat the general to death, and told them that as long as the general took Chengdu with the general, we would not be blocked for three days. knife!"
Qin Jun started from Xiliang and dealt with barbarians all the year round, so he was more or less infected with the habits of barbarians in his bones, so it is not surprising that Wang Feng would say that he would not seal his knife for three days.
"Here!" Bai Chen responded.
After Bai Chen left, Wang Feng murmured: "Chang Yuchun, I'm going to have a head-to-head confrontation with you this time, and see who wins!"
