Chapter 317 Wind and Snow Over China
Han Fan was indeed ready to leave. Although he did not contact the tribal leaders on this trip to the State of Wei, he successfully split the alliance between Xiliang and the State of Wei.
In addition, in these days of Tuoba's imperial tent, after the secret investigation of Zhifengtang, he let him know that it is not realistic for him to split the Wei army by simply contacting the leaders of various tribes.
This does not mean that these tribal leaders have been completely loyal to Tuoba, but they can't see the hope that the Jin army can save them, so the best and most direct way is to defeat Tuoba Si on the front battlefield and defeat his arrogance.
As long as the Wei army is defeated, these tribal leaders will have a chance to escape and have the courage to fight against Tuoba.
In these cases, Han Fan carefully sorted out the article and ordered someone to send it back to Luoyang first, and then he said goodbye to Tuoba and set out to return to the Central Plains.
At this time, the north has completely entered a severe winter, with the north wind roaring and snowing. This year's snow seems to be a little heavy, and even Luoyang has snowflakes.
In the upper study of Luoyang Palace, Lu Qiang stood in front of the window with his hands behind his hand and looked at the snowflakes floating outside, but he was thinking about the northwest.
In this season, the northwest is also extremely cold. According to his previous will, Li Wei and Zhao Lunwen will destroy Qifu Chipan, but Li Wei has gently refused on the grounds that the weather is too cold.
Zhao Lunwen wants to send troops, but this climate is obviously not suitable for large-scale military use, so he has also been asked Lu Qiang. Can you wait for the weather to get warm before sending troops?
Zhao Lunwen is the replacement of He Wuji stationed in Jincheng. Many of him are He Wuji's subordinates, and many of them are locals, which are somewhat cold-resistant.
So Lu Qiang did not promise him to withdraw his troops immediately, but told him his combat plan and let him die at any time.
Soldiers are also trages.
The Jin army has never had a precedent of using troops in winter, so whether it is Qipan, Li Wei or Juqu Mengxun, they will not think that Lu Qiang will break the routine and use troops against them at this time.
Lu Qiang had never been a soldier in his previous life, but he used the set of things he learned in movies and TV on Kuixing's special forces.
Being good at hiding their tracks is the biggest feature of this army. The cold winter is just another training for them.
When he was in Chang'an, Lu Qiang sent a decree to Li Wei, which was just a test for him, and it can also be said to give him the last chance. Now he not only disobeyed his orders, but also tried to collude with Tuoba Si, so he could no longer tolerate him.
Lu Qiang knows very well that with his current strength, once Tuoba Si attacks and Li Yu and Ju Qu Mengxun pull back again, he will definitely fall into a protracted and bitter battle, which will have an immeasurable blow to his emerging court.
So we must be strong first. In this day that no one can imagine, we will suddenly send troops to suppress the blazing rock, and then destroy Juqu Mengxun and Li Wei. Even if we can't completely destroy them, we will give them heavy damage so that they can't afford any storms and waves.
The snow outside the window is getting more and more urgent. What about the northwest? The snow over there must not be small, right?
I don't know if God feels Lu Qiang's mood. The snow in the northwest is also particularly heavy, especially the left side of Yiledu. The heavy snow has not passed his knees, but it is still raining continuously.
At this time, in Ledu City, Qifu Chipan was discussing with his ministers about the Jin Dynasty's attack on him. In fact, if it hadn't been for the appearance of Lu Qiang, the little butterfly, Qifu Chipan would have been emperor by this time.
Ledu used to be the capital of bald sandalwood. After the death of bald sandalwood, Li Wei took advantage of the situation to invade the land of Nanliang. If Juqu Mengxun hadn't rushed back in time, Li Wei would have taken Beiliang.
With the help of Qifu Chipan, Juqu Mengxun quickly drove Li Wei away and surrendered to Li. Juqu Mengxun acquished in Qifu Chipan's occupation of Ledu.
One of the wives of Qifu Chipan is the daughter of bald sandalwood, so he was able to stand in this place smoothly.
The hall gathered the confidants of Qifu Chipan, including the prime minister Ren Qu, Lieutenant Duan Hui, his brothers Qifu Yanzuo, Si Zhifan Qian and others. It can be said that although he has not been emperor, his men have been set up according to the civil and military officials.
The Jin army was so powerful that the ministers suggested that Qifu Chipan contact Juqu Mengxun to attack Li Wei, and then surrender to Tuoba and turn back against the Jin army.
It can be said that this is a good idea, because they have seen that the Jin Dynasty was dissatisfied with Li Wei, so they naturally think that if they attack Li Wei, the Jin army will definitely stand by.
"General, the Jin army has clearly ordered Li Wei to attack us. It's winter now, and it's not convenient to send troops. When the weather gets warm, even if Li Gao doesn't leave the army, I'm afraid the Jin army will also kill. Now there are 100,000 Jin troops in Jincheng, and we only have more than 30,000. This battle can't be fought at all, so the general has to make a decision early."
Qifu Chipan was once appointed as General Fuyuan by Yao Xing. Now he has not been emperor, so his subordinates still call him that, but when you think about the official positions he has been awarded, and when you listen to his name, it is a little strange.
Speaking is Duan Hui, who is in charge of Ledu's army and can be regarded as the confidant of Qipan.
Ren Qu shook his head and said, "This is not good. Sima Dezong is ambitious. Looking at his movements in recent years, I'm afraid that as soon as we set up, he will kill us. I have only one opinion. If you want to survive, you must unite all the forces that can unite, and then work together to deal with Sima Dezong, otherwise Just wait to be broken by him one by one!"
What both said makes sense, which makes it difficult for Qifu Chipan to choose for a while, but he knows very well that no matter what choice he chooses, he must make a decision before the weather turns warmer.
In fact, Qifu Chipan is more inclined to cooperate with Li Wei and others to resist the Jin army, but he is still a little worried about Li Wei's previous attack.
It was still snowing outside, and Qifu Chipan was a little upset. He ordered people to order wine and dishes at the beginning. He wanted to talk with everyone while drinking.
In the flying snow outside the city, you can't see half of the figure, but if you look carefully, you can find countless white spots rushing in the wind and snow.
This is Kuixing's 10,000 special forces. Many of the predecessors of these troops are mountain barbarians, the best at suffering, and they are proficient in mountain warfare. With a little training, they have become an omnipotent elite special forces.
On snowy days, it is difficult for people to walk, not to mention horses, but it is obviously difficult for special forces. Now, in addition to their own necessary weapons and equipment, everyone has a special sled for them, and the snowball fights in their hands are also specially built and can be used as weapons at critical moments.
The sled can be said to be an artifact in the snow. When rowing in the ideal terrain, the speed is comparable to that of a horse.
The Ledu garrison never dreamed that the Jin army would choose such a weather attack, let alone that there would be such an army in the world. At this time, they all hide in the house and drink a little wine to keep warm and talk about some men's eternal topics.
10,000 troops approached the wall silently, and then the soldiers took out their flying claws and threw them on the top of the city, and then rubbed themselves up.
All the voices were covered by the wind and snow, so that when the Jin soldiers appeared in front of the Qifu Chipan soldiers, they thought they were dazzled. Only when the blade scratched their necks did they understand that the enemy was coming.
As the gate was opened, 10,000 Jin and Jin swarmed into the city that seemed to be still sleeping.
Qifu Chipan drank a little too much. His greatest wish was to rebuild the Western Qin Empire, but this wish was broken by the sudden rise of Sima Dezong, so his heart was full of hatred for Sima Dezong and began to scold Sima Dezong by drinking.
His brother Qifu Yanzuo and others are still awake, but who is willing to touch his luck at this time? He had to drink his own wine and exchange his views on the Jin army with Ren Qu from time to time.
At this moment, a chaotic sound of footsteps came from far and near. There was no need to beg for Chipan to drink and scold, and a close waiter had already greeted him.
Who knew that before the servant waited for the door of the palace, the door of the palace was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and several blood-stained figures broke in with large snowflakes.
"Big General, it's not good, the enemy has come in..."
Qifu Chipan's head was already mixed with pulp, and he didn't understand what the person was saying, but Qifu Yanzuo next to him understood it.
He suddenly stood up, looked at the bloody officer, and asked, "What's going on? Who do you think came in?
The officers were about to cry and said anxiously, "We don't know who's army it is. Those people are ghostly, wearing white clothes, and they kill people at sight. The brothers are almost unable to resist. Their honor guards are familiar with the terrain, so they come to return. General, let's go quickly! Don't go again..."
The sound stopped here, and then fell to the ground, but only saw a trembling feather arrow inserted in his back.
"Ah!..."
In the exclamation of Qifu Yanzuo and others, countless white figures broke in from the outside. After a tragic cry, there were only a few officials left in the hall.
Qifu Qipan sat in a chair, and the wine glass in his hand had not yet been put down. Looking at what had just happened in front of him, as if he were dreaming.
The shouts outside continue, but the hall is completely under the control of the Jin army.
After a while, Qifu Yanzuo rubbed his eyes and confirmed that he was right. In the cold blade, he carefully asked, "Dare to ask who you are?"
Soon, the killers in white clothes walked in two sides, and a strong, leopard-like man strode in with an excited face.
It's amazing. Kwa Hing feels that he is dreaming. Although he has been ambushed a lot before, he never thought that he could take down a city so easily? At this moment, his heart is full of admiration for Lu Qiang.
"Your Majesty is truly a god"
He strode to Qifu Chipan and said with a smile, "From now on, you are the slave of my Majesty the Great Jin Emperor. Is there anything you dissatisfied with?"
"Ah! You... Are you a Jin army?
With Kuai Xing's words, Qifu Chipan's wine finally woke up, but he still looked at Kuai Xing with an unbelievable expression. He really couldn't imagine how the Jin army came in...
