Chapter One Hundred and Ninety-Seven: Qin State Generals, Wang Yumeng(1/2)
"The last general captures the enemy general Wang Li alive!"
Lu Lingqi returned with a Qin general and several commanders and reported to Zhang Hua.
Wang Li became a defeated general and was tied up with a look of reluctance.
There were several major generals in the Qin Dynasty, such as Meng Tian was the grandson of Shangqing Meng Ao and the son of Inner Shi Meng Wu. Shangqing and Inner Shi were both high-ranking officials in Qin.
Wang Li can become Meng Tian’s deputy general and is also the descendant of a famous family.
Wang Li's grandfather was the great general Wang Jian, who destroyed the Chu State with 600,000 Qin troops and killed the famous general Xiang Yan.
Wang Li's father was the famous general Wang Ben, who destroyed Wei, Yan, Zhao, and Qi, and had great military achievements.
"You are Wang Li?"
Zhang Hua knew about Wang Li.
Wang Li and Zhang Han were the Qin generals who were responsible for suppressing Chen Sheng and Wu Guang’s uprising after Meng Tian’s death. They were defeated by Xiang Yu in the Battle of Julu, becoming a stepping stone for Xiang Yu’s rise.
At this time, Wang Li was captured alive by Lu Lingqi and brought back to the camp and was taken to Zhang Hua.
After facing this Qin general, Zhang Hua had to spend some tricks to surrender Wang Li.
"Wang Li, your grandfather Wang Jian, where is your father Wang Ben?"
Zhang Hua was also quite afraid of Wang Jian and Wang Ben.
Wang Jian and Wang Ben's ability is even stronger than Wang Li.
If Wang Jian served under Qin Xiaogong's command, Zhang Hua would also retreat.
Wang Li snorted coldly: "If they were here, how could I become a prisoner under the ranks! I came from the Great Qin generals and would not surrender to you, so I would rather kill me."
Wang Li's origin made him feel arrogant and unwilling to surrender to the unknown Zhang Hua.
"Arrogance cannot be eaten as a food, nor can you survive."
Zhang Hua looked at Wang Li. Wang Li had certain force and was good at leading troops, but he was still captured alive.
Wang Li refused to answer and was ready to be killed by Zhang Hua.
Otherwise, how can I explain to these ancestors when I meet Wang Jian and Wang Ben in the future?
"Let's be sent to the Tianzhu in Chang'an City for the time being to be detained."
Zhang Hua didn't want to kill the famous general Wang Li.
In fact, whether to kill Wang Li or not has little impact on Zhang Hua's power.
The really tricky ones are Wang Li’s ancestors, Wang Jian and Wang Ben.
If Wang Li was killed, then Wang Jian and Wang Ben would be in a state of stalemate in the future.
It is not a last resort that Zhang Hua will not do anything, especially the other party is still the Qin Dynasty general, and behind it is a famous general.
The Tianzhu in Chang'an City is a level 8 military building, which has the effect of suppressing prisoners' force.
Wang Li was detained in Chang'an Tianzhu and could not escape from Tiantian.
"Wang Li was captured alive, and the White Lotus Sect was rampant in Qin Xiaogong's territory. Qin Xiaogong could not replenish his troops and food, so he would collapse sooner or later and take the initiative to attack."
Zhang Hua and Qin Xiaogong and Cao Zhen confronted each other for more than a month, sent cavalry to cut off Cao Zhen's food route, and sent Tang Sai'er to destroy Qin Xiaogong's territory, causing 200,000 Qin troops and Wei troops to fall into a difficult situation of food shortage.
According to Zhang Hua's inference, Qin Xiaogong and Cao Zhen's coalition were already at the end of their strength and the food and supplies could not last long.
If one party lacks food and grass, it will fall into a passive position and have to take an offensive.
In Qin Xiaogong and Cao Zhen’s camp, both lords were worried about food and grass.
Tang Saier's White Lotus Rebellion affected hundreds of thousands of people in Qin Xiaogong's territory. Qin Xiaogong was unable to collect food and grass from areas controlled by the White Lotus Rebellion, and the grain storage was gradually decreasing.
Wang Li led 10,000 Qin troops to suppress the White Lotus Sect's uprising, but was defeated by the White Lotus Sect and sneak attacked by the Xia cavalry. He was defeated and captured.
Duke Xiao of Qin could no longer deal with Tang Sai'er's White Lotus Sect.
If Qin Xiaogong sent more troops and more powerful generals to suppress the White Lotus Sect, then the defense of the Qin army camp was empty and would be violated by the main force of the Xia army.
If only a few thousand soldiers were sent out, they would send their heads to send them off.
"The King of Breaking Li Zicheng has not left the mountains yet?"
Qin Xiaogong was waiting for the rebellion king Li Zicheng to attack the northern part of Guanzhong, but Li Zicheng's Dashun army was blocked in the mountain road and could not threaten Zhang Hua's hinterland.
If you continue to wait like this, Qin Xiaogong and Cao Zhen’s 200,000 troops will collapse early.
"It seems like we have to go out to fight."
Cao Zhen also realized that the matter was in danger.
Zhang Hua's methods are too ruthless.
Zhang Hua built camps on both sides of the Wei River, connected by floating bridges, and food and grass were endless.
Zhang Hua divided his troops to plunder Cao Zhen's food route, launched the White Lotus Sect uprising, disturbing Qin Xiaogong and Cao Zhen's rear, and forcing Qin Xiaogong and Cao Zhen to fight. It can be said that the mechanism was completely calculated.
It was obviously an open plot, but Qin Xiaogong and Cao Zhen were powerless in the face of such a situation.
The only two kings of rebellion, Li Zicheng, who could change the situation, was blocked by the Qihuo Army, and the Jurchen Wanyan Zongwang was delayed by the Northern Army.
Qin Xiaogong and Cao Zhen had to fight against each other.
"Let the soldiers of each battalion eat and drink well and go out to fight tomorrow to attack the Xia army camp. If you win, you can decide Guanzhong and lose. Go and meet with Your Majesty."
Cao Zhen summoned Zhang He, Guo Huai, Fei Yao and other military generals, and had left a way out.
Emperor Wu of Wei Cao was fighting in Kanto and urgently needed civil officials and military generals.
After Cao Zhen conquered Guanzhong, he could try to connect with Cao Cao.
If he really couldn't defeat Guanzhong, Cao Zhen also made plans for himself.
Guanzhong is a place where dragons rise are worth Cao Zhen’s risky battle.
"Cao Zhen has left a way out for himself, and his courage is less than that, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to win."
As a guest army, Fu Jian, the King of the Former Qin Dynasty, obtained Cao Zhen's weapons, food and grass, and strengthened Cao Zhen's momentum.
After Fu Jian found out Cao Zhen's idea, he believed that Cao Zhen was timid before the fight and it was difficult to win.
When fighting against the enemy, it is important to advance without retreat, and to treat death as if it were home.
Cao Zhen, a group of Wei generals, had a way out, and his morale was already weaker.
"The White Lotus Uprising was ineffective, and this may be the most sinister battle of our Qin army."
In Meng Tian’s camp, Meng Tian summoned several Qin generals to mobilize.
Deputy General Wang Li was captured alive, Meng Tian lost his left arm and had to go into battle himself.
Rising your life to win the king and defeat the enemy.
"I will go out with you and others."
Prince Fusu changed into military uniform and decided to fight side by side with Meng Tian.
After a long battle on the battlefield, Young Master Fusu also became bloody.
"This battle is dangerous, the young master is not allowed to go out. You have a more important mission. We are not completely without a retreat. On the contrary, without a retreat, I will not risk going out to fight."
Meng Tian looked at Prince Fusu with a firm attitude and refused to allow Prince Fusu to go to war.
A Qin commander entered the tent: "General, one person asked for a visit."
"Who is asking for a meeting at this time?"
Meng Tian was mobilizing soldiers when he suddenly heard someone coming to the camp for a visit at this time, and he was moved.
"Bring him to see me."
Soon, a scholar came to Meng Tian’s military tent.
When Meng Tian saw this person, Meng Tian, who had always been expressionless, couldn't help but be surprised, with a hint of joy between her eyebrows and eyes: "It's you?"
The scholar smiled slightly: "Brother, long time no see."
The Qin generals in the tent were also shocked by the people coming.
This is not someone else, but Meng Tian’s younger brother, Qin Chao Shangqing, Meng Yi!
The Meng family and the Wang family were two major generals during the reign of Qin Shihuang.
When unifying the six kingdoms, the Wang family represented by Wang Jian and Wang Ben held the military power and had the greatest power.
After the establishment of the Qin Dynasty, Wang Jian and Wang Ben's influence declined. The Meng family represented by the brothers Meng Tian and Meng Yi led troops outside and the other served Qin Shihuang in the court. Its power was so great that only Prime Minister Li Si and Zhao Gao, the CRRC Mansion, could check and balance them.
It is conceivable that when Meng Tian and a group of Qin generals saw Meng Yi appear, their wonderful expressions were seen.
"This place is dangerous, you should leave as soon as possible."
When Meng Tian saw Meng Yi coming, she wanted Meng Yi to leave this dangerous place and preserve the Meng family's bloodline.
In Meng Tian's opinion, Zhang Hua is an enemy stronger than the Huns. When fighting with the Xia army, Meng Tian may die in battle, let alone his younger brother Meng Yi.
Meng Yi shook his head gently: "I have understood some abilities, which may help my brother win. In the least, it can also make Zhang Hua win miserably."
