Sanchuan County, Qu Wan was planning a large-scale counterattack, some time ago, he suffered a big loss, the southern border army of Qin successfully deceived him, Zhou Yu's bastard was sold by the Qin people, and he didn't forget to pit him when he left. Originally, Zhou Yu was framed and faced with a corner, is it possible to fall to the state of Chu, it was also one of the problems that Qu Wan considered, and later the development of things seemed to be moving in this direction, Zhou Yu's autograph letter was sent to Qu Wan's hands, for the enemy such a general, the Chu people still have a full understanding, handwriting, tone of writing, all are Zhou Yu himself, this trick did make Qu Wan believe. At that time, Zhou Yu seemed to be exhausted, and Qu Wan was very happy to formulate a plan for Xuanyiwei to gather and annihilate, which of course, was indispensable for the cooperation of Zhou Yu's southern border army.

As a result, Qu Wan gritted his teeth, and the southern border army did cooperate, but it was not him who cooperated, but Xuan Yiwei, and he also lost Qu Wan to be cautious, although he believed in Zhou Yu, but he still left a back hand, which only saved the decline in the second half of the battle, and finally used the advantage of the large number of people to repel the two enemy forces, but only lost a force of more than 10,000 people.

After this battle, Qu Wan retreated to Sanchuan County, but the southern form became subtle, through this battle, the southern border army and Xuanyiwei regained a firm foothold, and still formed a flanking attack posture against him on the left and right, and the two sides confronted each other.

Later, through the captured prisoners of the Qin army, it was learned that Zhou Yu had left the southern border army of Qin, and now the commander of this army was Meng Tian's son Meng Yong. This made Qu Wan hate the roots of his teeth.

The current situation in the south is not what Qu Wan wants, and now, he wants to completely establish the superiority of the Chu army in the southern part of the Qin State through a major battle, so as to ensure that the Chu State can completely bring the southern part of the Qin State under its rule.

The southern border army of the Qin State and the Xuanyi Guard were not monolithic, and there was such a big incident between the two, that even Zhou Yu, who was extremely supported by the southern border army, was forced away, saying that there was no mustard between them. Qu Wan didn't believe it, and Xuanyiwei was known as the first elite of the Qin State, and this time he lost face in front of the southern border army, and he must have a breath in his heart. As long as there is a contradiction between the two, it can be exploited.

Qu Wan's strategy is to concentrate forces and defeat the southern border army first, the reason is very clear, the southern border army is now unstable, even though Meng Yong is Meng Tian's son, there is no lack of appeal among the southern border army. But a junior brother who has never been on the battlefield, there must be problems in command, even if there are experienced veterans like Wang Ming and Tan Wei in the southern border army. The second reason is that if he fights Xuanyiwei first, now the southern border army is worried about himself because he has offended Lu Chao, and he must have the intention of making meritorious contributions. They will definitely go to the rescue, but the southern border army will be attacked first, but Xuanyiwei may not go to the rescue, or the pace of their rescue is not so timely. You have a chance to take advantage of it.

defeated the southern border army, a Xuanyi guard, a Lu Zhihui who rarely went to war, how long can he last? Each break. The ideal outcome is also a battle between the two sides, but with their own forces multiplied. Even if Xuanyiwei put aside all his achievements and came to help in time, he could still use the advantage of his strength to have a decisive battle with them in a dignified manner, and he could still win the battle.

After defeating these two armies, the power that Lu Chao can use in his hands is very limited, to control the domestic situation, to hold Hangu Pass, in a short period of time, he has absolutely no way to take care of the south, which leaves time for Chu to integrate and digest the south, and completely swallow the southern part of Qin.

The confident Qu Wan launched an offensive against the southern border army of the Qin State in early September, but to his disappointment, when his offensive had just begun, his intentions seemed to be seen through by the Qin people. Although this situation has a certain gap with Qu Wan's ideals, it is still expected, and it seems inevitable that a general battle will be fought in the two main forces of Mengyin and Qin.

For the final victory of the battle of Qin and Chu, Qu Wan has full confidence, in the past few months, the Chu army in the south of the Qin State, invincible, the army has established full self-confidence, sufficient logistics, smooth grain routes, and the city of Sanchuan County, but also let the Chu army stand in a favorable position to attack and retreat, on the other hand, the Qin army, although it is a local battle, but the two armies have a dislike, each has a ghost, and the logistics supply is not as good as their own guest army, the local war is endless, morale is low, the two are compared, If you can't win this kind of scene, then it will be in vain that you have brought the soldiers of these decades.

This strong self-confidence lasted until the moment when the southern border army of the Qin State and the Xuanyi Guard met and the great war was about to break out.

After looking at the weather for a few days, it seems that it is about to start to change its face again, the gloomy dark clouds are overwhelming, either because of the weather, or because the war is about to break out, everyone's hearts seem to have fallen on a layer of lead, and even the passionate war drums and horns seem to have lost their former motivational effect, on this day, Qu Wan received bad news, and it was not one.

The first thing to arrive was the news of Wuguan.

It was a logistics escort team that set out from Wuguan to replenish the food and ordnance of the army in front, but the food and ordnance did not come, but the two messengers arrived quickly, and the news brought made Qu Wan shocked.

The troops of the first division of the first army of the Han Army Youth Guards Corps suddenly appeared outside Wuguan, and launched a ferocious attack on Wuguan, Wuguan is in danger, the commander of this escort force immediately led three thousand escort troops to transfer to Wuguan to rescue after getting the news, and the two of them are specially here to deliver letters, as for the grain and grass escorted by the large number of people, at this moment they are still advancing towards Sanchuan County halfway, losing the protection of the troops, and whether they can reach it smoothly on this enemy land, is now unconcerned. Compared with the loss of these logistical supplies, the gains and losses of Wuguan will be related to the lives of hundreds of thousands of troops.

However, this is only the first one.

Before Qu Wan could digest the news, the second and third messengers had already arrived, which came from within the Chu State, and the news brought made Qu Wan almost out of breath.

The Han army launched a large-scale invasion of Chu, Pengcheng was lost, the defender Liu An was killed, and the second front army of Han State, with Cui Chengxiu's 18th Army as the vanguard, had penetrated deep into the Chu realm.

Jiangdong County was in danger, the Han Army's inland water division suddenly attacked, and annihilated the Chu State Water Division in one fell swoop, Jiangdong County had no strength to contain the Han Army's water division along the Yangtze River, and the Han State army landed in several places along the river in Jiangdong County under the transportation of the water division, and now except for Jiangdong County, most of Jiangdong County has completely fallen.

On the defensive line of Daba Mountain, the Second Front Army of the Han Army, under the leadership of Bai Yucheng, the deputy commander, was attacking day and night, and the defense line had almost collapsed.

Those who came from Wuguan were in a hurry, and those who came from China were urging him to withdraw his troops immediately and return to China.

At this time, Qu Wan finally understood that Qin and Han had colluded, and the strategy of the Han State was also obvious at this time, that is, to destroy the Chu State in one fell swoop. The army attacking Chu, Dabashan, and Pengcheng was the main force of the Second Front Army, and it was the Young Guards Corps that attacked Wuguan, but it was the main force of the First Front Army of Han that was supposed to fight against the Qin army and Wang Jian's troops from Jinyang or Mengchi County.

Qin and Han colluded and created a series of illusions to deceive the Chu State, so that the Chu people mistakenly believed that the Han people would inevitably take advantage of the internal strife in Qin to attack the Qin State, so as to destroy the Qin State in one fell swoop under this golden opportunity.

But when the curtain slowly opened, the Chu State, which thought it was a hunter and a fisherman, suddenly found that he had become the fish on the felt board, and he was about to be slaughtered when he saw it.

Han played a big game of chess.

"General, withdraw your troops quickly! If Wuguan is lost, we will be locked up in the southern part of Qin. "The generals under their command are colorless, the importance of Wuguan to them is self-evident, losing Wuguan, they will have no way to retreat, no food and grass supply, weapons replenishment, on the territory of the enemy, perdition is only a matter of a blink of an eye.

Taking a deep breath, Qu Wanqiang calmed down, he would be the courage of a soldier, if he showed a panicked look, he was afraid that his subordinates would be in turmoil and collapse without a fight.

"Retreat is naturally to retreat, but don't forget, now we still have a total of nearly seventy or eighty thousand horses in front of the southern border army of Qin and Xuanyiwei, how can we leave if we want to, if we are not fully prepared, a rash retreat is a disaster, I am afraid that we will be defeated by the Qin army before we can reach Wuguan." Qu Wan looked at the generals and said slowly.

The generals present also understood this truth, but as long as they thought of the consequences of the loss of Wuguan, everyone was still uneasy in their hearts.

"Even if we want to leave, we have to hit the Qin people hard before we can leave, so that they don't dare to pester us or chase us." Qu Wan looked at everyone, "Even if you are caught off guard, but the terrain of Wuguan is dangerous, and it is not so easy to take." We have enough men and horses left in Wuguan, and for the sake of the suddenness of the attack, the Han army only appeared under Wuguan for the time being, the first division of the First Army of the Young Guards, and the strength was similar to that of Wuguan, and I believe that Zhang Qian will definitely be able to support our return. ”

"Therefore, in this current battle, we not only have to fight, but also fight beautifully and crisply."

In Qu Wan's words, the generals slowly settled down, yes, if you don't defeat the Qin army in front of you, you can't talk about returning to the division to rescue.

"The general ordered, it's not too late, we must gather all our forces and defeat the Qin army in front of us in one fell swoop." The generals stood up and cried out for their lives.

Footsteps sounded outside the house, and an officer strode in and saluted Qu Wan: "General, there is an envoy from the Qin army to visit." ”

Everyone was stunned, the two armies faced each other, but at this time, the Qin people sent an envoy, did they think that the Chu army was really at the end of the mountain and the water, and wanted to surrender without a fight? (To be continued.) )
