Chapter XXIII: Strategic Retreat
"This, how is this possible, how can Qin Guo do this......" Qi Jun's expression was ugly, unusually ugly. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"King, whether this news is reliable or not, we have to guard against it. And with the ambition that Qin Guo is showing now, I am afraid that it is ...... "Since leaving the residence of Kai Bai, the solemnity on Su Qin's face has not subsided.
"Su Qingjia, you are Zuo Lingyin, how do you think we should deal with it?" After a long time, Mi Jun accepted this reality and couldn't help asking.
"Once it is true that Wei sent troops, there are only two directions if you want to offend my Great Chu. One is the original border of our Great Chu State; The second is the Wei-Han border that we just took over. Su Qin walked in front of Mi Jun, spread out the map on the desk, and continued to state, "In Weichen's opinion, the greatest possibility for the Wei State is to divide the troops into two ways. One of the roads, taking advantage of the emptiness of my Great Chu country, directly hit the capital Danyang. On the other hand, we entered the Han land we had just occupied, and fought a hard-fought decisive battle while we had not yet fully gained a foothold. ”
Hearing this, Mi Jun's expression became even more gloomy, from Su Qin's words, how could he not hear the crisis at this time.
As Su Qin said, at this time, the hinterland of Chu was empty, and almost all of the most elite troops were transferred to the newly occupied Han land. Even if it is these six points of Han land, the remnants of the Han State are rampant, and although the Chu army has nominally occupied it, it is still far from a real foothold.
To put it bluntly, at this time, it was the weakest time for the Chu State, and if the news of the Wei army's attack was true, then they really picked a good time. And this also proves the credibility of Su Qin's news from the side.
"Su Qing's family, if my Great Chu and Wei State compete at this time, what will happen to the victory?" Although he already had an answer, Qi Jun still asked Su Qin without giving up.
"I'm afraid that there will be fewer wins and more losses." Su Qin smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Doesn't the Su Qing family have a good countermeasure?"
"My lord, I'm afraid that you look down on Weichen. Not to mention what the current situation of my Great Chu is, just talking about the Wei State, its military strength is by no means comparable to the Han State. Tens of thousands of Wei soldiers, needless to say, the prestige of the battlefield. According to intelligence, my senior brother Pang Juan has also become a general of Wei, and his military talent is not weaker than that of Weichen. We don't have an advantage in the right time and place, as for people and ...... After more than a year of fighting the Han Dynasty, even the most elite division of my Great Chu is exhausted, and if you want to rebuild your morale in a short time, I am afraid it will be difficult for a strong man. Su Qin sighed one after another.
"Is my hundreds of thousands of Chu troops going to be defeated without a fight?" Mi Jun was a little exhausted.
"It can only be said that Wei Guotai will pick the opportunity. However, ......" Su Qin's voice changed, and he looked at Mi Jun with some complexity.
"But what?" It seemed that he heard the meaning of Su Qin's words, and Mi Jun couldn't help but cheer up.
"For today's plan, it's not that there is no way to resist, but the price is not small, and as for whether to do it, it can only be decided by the king." Su Qin still didn't say it directly.
"It's time like this, Su Qing's family shouldn't sell it." Mi Jun said anxiously.
"Give up the six points of Han land, gather troops and return to their homeland as soon as possible. In this way, not only can you relieve your worries, but you can also concentrate on fighting against the invading Wei army. At that time, after a long journey, the Wei army had become a tired army, and even if the soldiers were strong and strong, it would be in vain to break through the defense line of our army. Of course, before we return to our homeland, we must send a large army at home to intercept the Wei army on the other road, making it difficult for it to cross the Wei-Chu border. At this point, Su Qin did not delay any longer, pointed to the map, and explained his countermeasures in detail.
"Give up the Han soil?" The corners of Qi Jun's mouth twitched, although he agreed with Su Qin's strategy in his heart, he was really reluctant to let him really give up the six-point Han soil that he had so hard to build.
As the king of a country, who doesn't want to sit on the merit of expanding the territory. Now that he has finally destroyed the Han State, and even occupied six points of its territory, he has to take the initiative to give up before his ass is hot, how willing he is.
"King, the so-called green mountains are here, and I am not afraid of no firewood. At this time, if you are not willing to give up these six points of Han land, the final result will only make this place the grave of our army. Seeing Qi Jun's hesitation, Su Qin not only eagerly admonished.
"Yes...... But whether Wei will attack or not, there is no certainty. At this time, Mi Jun was still lucky.
"But once the news is confirmed, I'm afraid it'll be too late." Su Qin sighed.
"Let the Lone King think again, think again." No matter how Su Qin advised, Mi Jun was still reluctant to give up the fat that had just arrived.
"Your Majesty, you have to think clearly. Wei's attack this time was far from being as simple as it seemed on the surface, and it was very likely that it was at the mercy of Qin. Looking back, think carefully about what the Qin State has done in the past two years, Lianchu to destroy the Han, raid and attack Han, Lianyan to attack Qi, if you add the bewitchment of the Wei State to attack my Great Chu, this pile, behind one thing after another, its means are ruthless, and the strategy is meticulous, even if it is a micro-minister, it is also terrifying. With such means, who dares to say, will they quietly buy some restless people in the country and raise troops to rebel? Once this is the case, it will really be an internal and external trouble for my Da Chu, and he will be killed. ”
"Huh?!" After hearing this, Mi Jun, who was still hesitating, was also drenched in a cold sweat with fright.
Although Su Qin's words are a bit alarmist, they are not unreasonable when it comes to the various methods of the Qin State in the past two years.
No matter how important these six points of Han land are, they are not as important as the foundation of the Chu State and his throne.
Once it is really as Su Qin guessed, the Chu country was bewitched by the Qin people and took the opportunity to make trouble, and at that time, Mi Jun, who was in the Han land, really couldn't even go back to his home, and lost the support of the country, the more than 200,000 Chu troops in the Han land were tantamount to losing their foothold, and under the collapse of morale, how could there be the capital to compete with the Wei army, and he himself would also become a veritable exiled monarch until he died.
"What Su Qing said is very true, the widow is indeed greedy for profit for a while." At this point, Mi Jun did not hesitate any longer, "Next, everything will be left to Su Qing." ”
"Don't worry, the king is not in a hurry, although the big strategy has been decided, but he can't retreat in a hurry, after Weichen goes back, think about it carefully, and give the king an explanation tomorrow." Seeing that he had persuaded Mi Jun, Su Qin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, didn't stop, hurriedly returned to the shuai camp, summoned the generals in the army, brainstormed, and began to talk about the layout strategy.
……
Before you know it, two days have passed.
Although Zhanbai was in a small courtyard and never stepped out of the door, he always paid attention to the situation.
Information about the movements of the Wei army came one after another, and the situation gradually became clearer.
On the Wei-Chu border and the original Wei-Han border, a large number of Wei troops were assembled, and after this information was reported by the spies of the Chu army, the conspiracy of the Wei army was confirmed.
Finally, on this day, the Chu army, which was located in Hantu, began to move.
The first was the king of Mi Jun, under the escort of 100,000 Chu troops, who quickly evacuated and returned to the homeland of Chu. At the same time, the remaining more than 100,000 Chu troops were divided into two routes, rushing all the way to the Chu-Wei border, in order to be able to rescue in time and block the offensive footsteps of the Wei army along the way. On the other hand, several armies were divided, and from the border between Wei and Han, they were deployed layer by layer.
Finally, on the second day after the departure of the Mi Jun army, the first line of defense arranged by Su Qin finally ushered in the attack of the Wei army.
6,000 Chu troops, against 300,000 Wei troops, the result is almost no suspense.
In less than half an hour, the 6,000 Chu army was completely annihilated, and only a few heralds escaped, passing the news out layer by layer.
"The 60,000 Chu army seems to be deployed layer by layer, but in fact it is no different from sending them to death, and the role they can play is nothing more than slightly blocking the pace of the Wei army and delivering news in time. Su Qin's trick...... Ruthless enough. Looking at the battle reports in his hand, Zhanbai, who did not leave Jimo City, couldn't help but sigh again and again.
It is said that Ci is not in charge of the soldiers, and Su Qin's arrangement finally made Zhanbai insightful.
"Sir, according to the intelligence reality, the 60,000 Chu troops on the other road finally arrived at the Chu-Wei border in time, and after fighting to the death with the 100,000 Wei troops along the way, they were successfully repulsed." It was not the scorpion that said this, but Nie Xiaofan.
