When Xiang Yan woke up from the coma, another night passed, and Xiang Yu and Xiang Liang stayed by Xiang Yan's side all night, waiting for Xiang Yan to wake up.

Xiang Yan woke up from a coma, saw his son and grandson by his side, and let out a long sigh woke Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu from their steasing. Seeing Xiang Yan wake up, the uncle and nephew hurriedly ran to Xiang Yan's side.

"Father. ”

"Grandfather. ”

Xiang Yan looked at his son and grandson and said, "How long have I slept like this?"

"It's just been one night, father. How is your health, the medical officer in the army said that your body is caused by overwork, father, you should take care of your health. Now our Chu State and these 400,000 troops still have to rely on your father to support it. ”

Xiang Yu said to his grandfather Xiang Yan beside his uncle: "Yes, grandpa, grandfather is right, you must take care of your health, you still have to teach me to fight." ”

Xiang Yan closed his eyes, he opened his mouth and said, "How many of our men did the Qin army lose in this attack?"

Xiang Liang thought for a moment, and he said: "In addition to the more than 6,000 soldiers captured by the Qin army, there are also more than 2,000 people who fled back with us, and we have lost nearly 12,000 people in total this time. We didn't expect that there would be such an elite cavalry in the Qin army, and our soldiers had no power to fight back under the charge of the cavalry, so there was this fiasco. ”

If the Qin army has more than 20,000 cavalry, then we will have very little chance of winning a battle with the Qin army outside the city, so we can only hide in the city and defend the city. ”

Xiang Yan's words are good, if six out of ten of today's land are returned to the Qin State, the national strength of the Qin State will only become stronger. If there are more than 20,000 elite soldiers in Wang Qian's army, as long as they charge up on the battlefield, then the Chu army can only be tied up. After all, after Zhao Guo's Hufu cavalry shooting, Zhao's cavalry once became the number one threat to the world's infantry, but later Zhao's national strength declined and he was unable to support the huge consumption of the cavalry, so Zhao's cavalry withdrew from the battlefield.

"According to my observation, the cavalry in the Qin army camp should not reach 20,000 this time, otherwise the consumption of 20,000 war horses is enough to drag the Qin army down, and there are still cavalry of the Qin army in the Huai River north of the Yangtze River, so I expect that the Qin army will definitely not bring many cavalry out this time, so the father does not have to worry too much. Xiang Liang expressed his guess, but he didn't expect that the current national strength of the Qin State was unprecedentedly strong, and the cavalry of the Mengjia army was enough to squander the capital.

Xiang Yan nodded after listening, although he didn't know if this was true, but it was also a consolation to him. "Tomorrow, Qu'er will bring grain from China, and with this batch of food, I think the army should be able to support it for a few days. We must come up with a plan to break the enemy in these few days, otherwise our soldiers will be too hungry to use their strength to fight the Qin army. ”

At noon on the second day, Xiang Yu's father, Xiang Qu, took the 600,000 stone grain and grass that had been raised by all means in the Chu State to the Chu military camp. After learning that his father had fainted, Xiang Qu hurriedly went to Xiang Yan's tent to visit.

"Father, father, are you okay?" Xiang Qu ran into Xiang Yan's tent.

"Big brother. ”

"Father. ”

Xiang Qu hurriedly greeted his younger brother, glanced at his precious son, and then walked to the side of the bed to look at his father.

Xiang Yan saw Xiang Qu coming, and the complexion on her face finally improved. "Qu'er, this time you came to deliver grain and grass, but you solved a big problem for your father. "89 Library

Xiang Qu held his father's hand and said to his father: "Father, this time is the only 600,000 stone grain and grass left by the army and people of my Chu State, if we don't defeat the Qin army before these grains and grasses are consumed, I'm afraid my Chu State is really going to be finished." ”

"No, big brother, I have thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in Chu country, did I only raise these 600,000 stone grain and grass?" Xiang Liang didn't believe his eldest brother's words, in his heart, the domestic grain and grass should be able to support it for a while.

Xiang Qu shook his head, and he said to his father, as well as his younger brother and son: "Now there is a remark of surrender to King Yingzheng of Qin in the court, and this remark has been supported by many ministers, so it is already difficult to raise grain and grass this time. If you want to raise food and grass, I'm afraid it's very difficult. ”

"Surrender?" Xiang Yan asked, "Then do you know who brought up this matter first?"

"Father, have you forgotten to take the old father-in-law of King Yingzheng of Qin? His two sons are now celebrities in front of King Yingzheng of Qin, and his daughter is the queen of Qin, and it is said that not long ago, the county lord of Chu State gave birth to a son for Yingzheng, and you said that if you can dedicate Chu to Qin again at this time, wouldn't it be even more of a great achievement? At that time, the entire Chu State will become the spoils of war for Mi Tao, and everyone may die, but only he, Mi Tao, will not only not die, but will also become the secretary of Qin. With such a good thing, how could he agree to allow his father to lead a large army to war with the Qin State?" Xiang Qu told the inside story.

It turned out to be a ghost that Xiang Qu was making trouble behind. "Damn old thief!" Xiang Yu scolded fiercely behind his father.

Xiang Liang also said: "Alas, what we should have thought of a long time ago is just that Mi Tao's status in the Chu royal family is on par with the patriarch, and his words still have a certain weight in the country, and now I am afraid that many people are inclined to his side." ”

Xiang Qu nodded and said: "Yes, not only the ministers, but even most of the royal family have all taken refuge in Mi Tao, hoping to use his strength to avoid being killed by the Qin army." When I was chosen to come out, Mi Tao had already spoken to the king twice, and the king was also shaken, so this time was our last chance to confront the Qin army, and I asked my father to think twice. ”

Xiang Qu struggled to sit up from the bed, "No matter what, we must not give the rivers and mountains of the Chu State to the Qin State in vain, so that the people of the Chu State can receive the misery of the Qin State. The order was passed down, the army was reorganized, and three days later, it forcibly attacked the Qin army and fought with the Qin army. ”

"No!"

The situation in the Chu army's camp naturally couldn't be hidden from the Qin army's spies, and the elite scouts of the Mengjia army had already reported the situation in the Chu army to Wang Qian.

Wang Jian gathered all the generals and prepared to attack the Chu army.

"The Chu army has brought another batch of military rations, but I think this is already the end of their strong crossbow, so this commander decided to raid the Chu army camp tomorrow night and destroy Xiang Yan in one fell swoop. ”

The generals ordered, and Wang Jian continued: "After Meng Tian led 10,000 cavalry around the Chu army camp, he blocked the retreat of the Chu army when he saw the fire in the camp, and he could not let go of a Chu soldier. ”

"Yes. "Meng Tian came out to receive the order.

"Wang Li, Zhang Tang, each of you led 50,000 horses to ambush the Chu army, and when you saw the fire in the camp, you attacked the Chu army camp, just continue to set fire to the enemy, and stop the pursuit when you see me sounding the arrow. ”

"No. ”

"The rest of the generals will lead their own generals and soldiers, listen to the orders of the generals, and attack the Chu army camp head-on with the commander, and those who delay will not be forgiven!"

"No. ”
