Chapter 2250 Yang Jian VS Li Jing, Six counties surrender to Qin


    Chapter 2247: Yang Jian VS Li Jing, six counties surrender to Qin


    In Lantian, the garrison general Yang Jian and military advisor Sima Yi were discussing Li Jing''s intentions fiercely.


    When Li Shimin was in the Yiguan, the reason why Li Shimin did not let Yang Jian take responsibility for the custody, but chose Sima Yi, who had just surrendered to him for a short time, was actually because the Yiguan city was built by Sima Yi.


    He also knows the Shiguan that Sima Yi personally built, so he is naturally the best candidate for the guard.


    Now that Shiguan has fallen and the Tang army retreats to Lantian, Sima Yi is not qualified to serve as a guard general. Yang Jian, who has far surpassed Sima Yi''s contributions and qualifications, is the best candidate.


    The Tang army had a total of 50,000 defenders on the front line of Lantian Shiguan. The loss of Yaguan once again lost nearly 20,000. There are still 30,000 defenders left under Lantian City.


    30,000 Tang Dynasty defenders, and 80,000 Qin Dynasty troops, the pressure on Tang Dynasty seemed not that great, but Yang Jian did not dare to be careless at all.


    After Yang Jian retreated into the Yiguan Pass, he immediately ordered the whole city to be on guard against the Qin army''s sneak attacks or even night attacks, but he waited left and right without waiting for the Qin army to take the initiative to attack.


    But what Yang Jian could not have imagined was still behind. The Qin army was actually preparing to bypass Lantian, intending to attack Chang''an without taking Lantian.


    "Military advisor, as a famous general of Li Jing, he is full of infantry under his command. He should understand the risk of attacking Chang''an if he doesn''t take Lantian, but why do he still dare to do this?" Yang Jian asked in confusion.


    After this period of running-in, Yang Jian has recognized Sima Yi''s ability and relied heavily on Sima Yi in all aspects.


    Sima Yi frowned and said, "Li Jing dared to do this only two possible points.


    First, Li Jing had some support and was not worried about the food being cut off, so he dared to bypass Lantian and go straight to Chang''an.


    Second, Li Jing had another plan, which seemed to be aiming to directly attack Chang''an, but his real intention was just to force our army to fight. ”


    Yang Jian nodded. Apart from these two possibilities, he could not think of any other intentions.


    "Report... Report to the general, military advisor, the county magistrate of Baling and Duling, surrendered without fighting and surrendered to Qin." The spy reported with an anxious look on his face.


    "What?"


    Yang Jian and Sima Yi both exclaimed.


    Baling and Duling counties are both in the hinterland of Guanzhong and are closer to Chang''an than Lantian. Although there are not many defenders in the city, there are still two or three thousand soldiers.


    The most important thing is that the grain in the county warehousing was not burned, and now it has become the military rations of the Qin army.


    The food and grass in the warehouses in the county town alone are definitely not enough to consume Li Jing’s 80,000 army, but it is still okay to support it for a period of time. At worst, the food is collected from the people on the ground. Anyway, the people in Guanzhong are rich and every family has surplus food.


    Yang Jian and Sima Yi looked at each other and saw a solemn look in each other''s eyes. Now they finally knew why Li Jing was so fearless. It turned out that he had instigated the county magistrates of Baling and Ling, and were not worried about the lack of food for the time being.


    Like Qin, the county magistrates were not the only one in power, but also supervised and restricted each other with the county magistrate and county magistrate.


    It is impossible to succeed if the county magistrate wants to treason alone, so there are only two possibilities for the county magistrates of Baling and Duling to rebel successfully:


    First, the county magistrate and county magistrate were killed and the army of a county gathered together.


    Second, the county magistrate and county magistrate also rebelled.


    "No, you must not let Li Jing leave the Lantian territory. Once Li Jing''s army surrounded Chang''an, the lord''s army would not be able to retreat to Chang''an, and he must be stopped." Yang Jian said with a serious face.


    Sima Yi was silent. They all knew that Li Shimin''s intention was to concentrate superior forces and first swallow Huo Qubing''s 25,000 cavalry, but the situation in Guanzhong changed too quickly.


    Wuzhangyuan had not yet succeeded, Fenglingdu was captured by Zhang Liao, and then the Yiguan was also captured by Li Jing.


    The two armies of Zhang Liao and Li Jing entered Guanzhong, causing Li Shimin''s plan to target Huo Qubing to die in the middle of the journey.


    Now for Li Shimin, the most important thing is not to solve Huo Qubing, but the facts retreat to Chang''an. Otherwise, if you are surrounded by Huo Qubing and Lu Bu and Li Jing, you may not be able to withdraw your troops at that time.


    Looking at Yang Jian in chaos, Sima Yi said, "General, it''s better to be cautious. I''m worried that this is Li Jing''s strategy to lure the enemy. The real purpose is to fight the Qin army more than we go out of the city."


    Yang Jian calmed down instantly, nodded, and quickly sent someone to confirm, but the news he received was that the two counties of Baling and Duling had really rebelled.


    "Send troops and fight to the death with Li Jing. Even if the entire army is wiped out, Li Jing cannot be allowed to approach Chang''an." Yang Jian gritted his teeth and ordered.


    Sima Yi did not stop this time. After all, compared to Lantian, Chang''an is still important. Any city can be lost, but Chang''an cannot be lost.


    With Yang Jian''s order, 30,000 Tang troops rushed out of Lantian in an orderly manner, and the sword pointed directly at Li Jing''s 80,000 army.


    30,000 to 80,000. In the eyes of most people, Yang Jian is seeking death, but even if he is a mantis arm, Yang Jian must fight because he has no choice at all.


    Qin army, the central army''s tent.


    Listening to the report from Bai Feng and Mo Ya below, Li Jing''s joy was beyond words.


    "So, not only Jingzhao Yin''s Baling and Duling counties, Suyi, Yaxian and Anling counties on the left, and Chongquan County on the right, have all defected to my Great Qin?"


    "That''s right." Bai Feng nodded.


    "Okay, you did a pretty job. You are a great success in the Black Ice Platform." Li Jingxi said.


    You should know that the Qin army had five major troops, and more than 200,000 troops fought for nearly a month, killing and injuring 40,000 to 50,000 people. They only captured the three counties of Shangxian, Shangluo, and Fanxian, as well as Xiaoguan, Yuguan and Fenglingdu.


    But where is the black ice platform? Before a soldier was sent, he just moved his mouth and persuaded him to surrender to the six counties in Guanzhong, which made Li Jing feel a little savory.


    "It depends entirely on the Grand Commander who broke through the Ship Pass, otherwise these fence-bearers might not be able to make up their minds."


    Mo Ya responded truthfully, after all, if Li Jing did not fight on the front line, they would not be able to persuade those county magistrates even if they were talking nonsense.


    "Most of the officials under Li Shimin are children of aristocratic families. These people are not very loyal to Li Tang. Most of the people are still waiting and watching. As long as the Grand Supervisor can continue to win, I believe these people will take the initiative to surrender sooner or later."


    After hearing Mo Ya''s words, Li Jing smiled knowingly. In this way, his confidence in capturing Chang''an was almost certain.


    "By the way, can you have personnel in Chang''an City? "


    Li Jing asked with anticipation, but it was equivalent to asking for nothing.


    Since the Black Ice Platform was deployed in Guanzhong early, his army could persuade six counties to surrender voluntarily as soon as they entered Guanzhong. How could it be that they would not place personnel in Chang''an?


    "Chang''an is not only the capital of Li Tang, but also the base camp of bad people. In the land of Guanzhong, especially Chang''an, Black Ice Platform is not a match for bad people." Bai Feng said.
