Emperor Sun made his fortune from scratch

By January of the 28th year of the Great Wei Tiancheng, the two armies were still in a stalemate, and the battle line had hardly changed.

Liu Beichen couldn't stand it anymore, and after getting Shen Ning's permission, he led 20,000 Zhaowu troops to storm a position of the Qi army. As before, little progress has been made, but nearly 1,000 people have been lost.

The Qi army already had a large number of troops, abundant food and grass, and occupied dangerous terrain; as a defensive side, it had obvious advantages.

At the same time as the Zhaowu army attacked, the battle line could not be stretched too long, so as not to be cut off by the Qi army.

Fortunately, Wei Xian played well, and since the start of the war, the Qi naval army has never been able to threaten the rear of the Zhaowu army.

In mid-January, after Han Zhiyuan's leg wound was healed, he led his army from Chengdu to the front.

He proposed to Shen Ning that he would lead an army around the rear of Yiling and conquer Songzi City (Songzi, Hubei). In this way, the Qi army's grain route can be cut off, and the Zhaowu army in front can be cooperated to form a flanking attack on the Qi army.

Shen Ning thought for a long time and rejected the proposal. First, the Qi army can transport grain by waterway. Secondly, from Yiling to Songzi, there are about 200 miles, all of which are rugged and difficult mountain roads. There are a large number of Qi army scouts within a radius of 100 miles, and there is a high probability that they will be discovered.

Moreover, even if it really kills the rear of the Qi army, it may not necessarily be able to threaten the Qi army.

In order to lure the Qi army to take the initiative, Song Jun pretended that the attack was unfavorable and led his troops to lie on the flat ground to rest. For the sake of safety, Yang Hanwen still did not send troops.

Song Jun was annoyed and ordered the soldiers to publicly insult the ancestors of the royal family of Qi, from Qi Taizu to Jiang Ningxian, and his words were extremely dirty and unbearable. I didn't feel very enjoyable, and I scolded the harem concubines and princesses again.

The Qi army still did not make any moves, whether it was Yang Hanwen or Zhang Yanxia, they had no intention of sending troops.

January passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was February of the twenty-eighth year of Tiancheng. During this period, Chen Zhe successively broke through two camps of the Qi army and killed more than 3,000 Qi troops.

However, these small victories are difficult to affect the current situation, and it is still difficult for the Zhaowu army to break through the Qi army's Yiling defense line.

In early February, Zhang Yanxia said to Yang Hanwen: "The last general thinks that the two armies have been facing each other for more than a few months, and the Zhaowu army will not be able to attack for a long time, and its morale will inevitably decline. And its consumption of grain and grass is huge, and it may be difficult to support. In addition, there are many Shu people among the Zhaowu soldiers, who can't stand the heat of the southern summer, and may take the initiative to retreat. When the time comes, our army can follow closely and look for an opportunity to break it.

Yang Hanwen smiled and nodded, agreeing with this.

In fact, before Yang Hanwen came to Yiling, he did not think about defeating the Zhaowu army. He thought that he was not as good as Liu Sihong, Shen Tian and others, and he just wanted to hold his position.

Four months have passed, and the position of the Qi army is as stable as Mount Tai, but the Zhaowu army has nothing to do.

Gradually, Yang Hanwen had more confidence in his heart. He did not despise the Zhaowu Army, and still insisted on defending. But if you encounter a good opportunity, you will also take the initiative. After all, if they can defeat more than 100,000 Zhaowu troops in one fell swoop, the Jinling Yang clan will not only soar, but will also benefit future generations.

"Continue to strengthen the position and beware of the sneak attack of the Zhaowu army. Yang Hanwen said.

"The general is reassured. Zhang Yanxia said.

Late one night, Shen Ning personally led 80,000 Zhaowu troops and suddenly attacked the Qi army's position. The Zhaowu army used a large number of various bows and crossbows, as well as fire oil cans, to completely cover the Qi army's position.

In this battle, most of the generals of the Zhaowu Army participated in the fighting. The battle lasted until the evening of the next day, although nearly 10,000 Qi troops were killed, Peng Shuang, Zhang Yanxia and others were wounded, but due to the stubborn resistance of the Qi army, they failed to conquer the Qi army's position.

After collecting the troops, Shen Ning was expressionless and didn't say a word.

................................................................................................................

It has been almost five months since the war began last October. The Zhaowu army lost more than 20,000 troops, and the consumption of grain and grass was huge, and it was still unable to attack repeatedly.

In the city of Chengdu, some people have begun to persuade Li Zhao to withdraw his troops. They also know that this battle is very important, but it really can't hold on if it continues like this.

Many of the city's granaries have been emptied, and a large number of young people in the city have been sent to Yiling.

Especially at the beginning of this year, in order to defeat the Qi army as soon as possible and break through Yiling. Shu added more than 30,000 troops to the front line, which increased the burden on Shu.

Chu Ziqing presided over the grain and grass affairs, and he did not persuade Li Zhao to withdraw from the army, but he also faintly hinted that the consumption of grain and grass in Shu was too large.

Li Zhao withstood all kinds of pressure and insisted on not retreating. and sent a letter to Shen Ning, telling him not to be impatient and to be patient.

He knew very well that if he withdrew this time, it would be even more difficult to fight Yiling next time. No matter what difficulties you encounter, you must grit your teeth and fight hard. Once the battle is won, the gains are great.

In late April, the weather is getting hotter.

Shi Ai transported grain and grass and arrived at the front line of Yiling.

Seeing that the sergeants were scattered, many people sat on the ground, chatting casually, Shi Ai's brows furrowed.

After entering the big tent, he saw Shen Ning concentrating, staring at a chessboard in front of him. Shi Ai didn't bother him, and also stood aside and watched quietly.

After a while, Shen Ning found Shi Ai and said apologetically: "I made General Shi wait for a long time."

Shi Ai said lightly: "It's just a trivial matter, don't mind."

Shen Ning was about to let someone serve tea, Shi Ai looked at him differently, and said: "The last general entered the camp just now, and saw that some soldiers took off their armor at will, I thought this move was extremely inappropriate.

Shen Ning smiled, didn't care, and said, "It's hot, it's normal to take off some clothes."

"With General Shen's wisdom, you should know what the last general wants to say?"

"There is no war these days, and there is nothing wrong with the soldiers resting properly.

Seeing that Shen Ning was not in a hurry, Shi Ai said bluntly: "The longer this battle drags on, the more unfavorable it will be to our side." It's already so hot in April. By June, the heat was unbearable, and the soldiers had no intention of fighting. "

What do you think of the situation in the black chess game just now?" Shen Ning avoided talking about the current war.

"Black is in jeopardy, I'm afraid it won't last long?"

"yes.

"Shi Ai was thoughtful," General Shen thought, if black chess wants to win, what should he do?" Shen

Ning looked at Shi Ai steadily, and said slowly: "There is only one way, put it to death and then live!"
