Chapter 198: Chen Ping Sends Envoy

Chen Tieshan, as the first batch of young brothers with good ideological awareness, although his ability to take the initiative to attack is slightly insufficient.

But when it came to recovering Yingchuan County, it still showed its steady side.

Now that the matter of occupying all parts of Guanzhong is obviously the most appropriate for him to do.

The civil officials are supplemented by Cao Shen, and with Chen Tieshan's ideological awareness, even if Cao Shen is a little careful, he will definitely not be able to show it.

The opportunity to destroy the country is hard to come by.

Sometimes it's just a little bit off, and the end result is completely different.

Wang Buyu knew very well in his heart that once he missed this time, if he wanted to launch a battle to destroy Chu next time, although he was still confident that he could win, the casualties of the Han army would definitely be greater than now.

Moreover, it is beneficial for the whole country to destroy Chu as soon as possible.

Therefore, after the matter was decided, 100,000 of the 150,000 troops who stayed in Xianyang City began to pack their bags and prepare to return to Han.

No matter how fast the reaction is, it is impossible for Han and Chu to enter the stage of war without two or three months.

……

The first year of the Han Dynasty, mid-May.

The Qin court was destroyed by the Han army, and the news that the land of Guanzhong was included in the territory of the Han State has not been completely absorbed by the Han people.

The left and right prime ministers Zhang Liang and Chen Ping, who were sitting in the royal court, were nervously busy, frowning constantly.

From time to time, writing and drawing, it seems to be calculating something.

"You can't go to war before the autumn harvest!" After carefully calculating several times, Zhang Liang looked at Chen Ping and said.

"Well, it's true, this time the situation is different from the westward march to destroy Qin, the most ideal time to start the war is after the autumn harvest, when the Chu State has less rain and the water level is shallow, which is conducive to the army to fight!" Chen Ping also nodded closely.

Although the battle to destroy Qin seemed to be done, Wang Buxing received the news and went directly to Shaanxi County with 10,000 forbidden troops, and then the army directly crossed the Hangu Pass and entered the land of Guanzhong.

But the previous preparations were not less than done.

As early as a year ago, Guan Ying put pressure on the Qin army outside Hangu Pass, and later replaced Zhang Han, who was familiar with the situation, which persuaded the guard general Qin Dan to surrender.

In addition, the 200,000 troops of the Western Expedition also began to be transferred to the western border as early as after the founding of the country.

The troops' supplies and everything were transferred in advance, and the speed of sending troops depended on the speed of the troops' build-up.

But this time it was different, the main force of Annihilation Chu was still the main force of 200,000 led by Wang Buyu.

They needed to wait for Chen Tieshan to take over with 150,000 troops in the Han State before they could return to the Han border, and at the same time walk from the westernmost part of the Han State to the easternmost point.

This distance is not close, if you do the math, it is thousands of miles, and it will take at least twenty days to a month for the army to complete this journey.

And you can't start a war immediately, you still need to rest for at least half a month when you get to the place, otherwise if you encounter continuous high-intensity wars after the war, it will be difficult for the soldiers to keep up with both physical strength and energy.

And most importantly, supplies, supplies.

It was the busy agricultural season, and 150,000 troops had to be dispatched to occupy Guanzhong.

It made the Han army, which was already understaffed, even more nervous, and even Tuntian was afraid that it would be difficult to complete it.

There were simply no extra troops to help transport grain and grass, so the solution was to supply on the spot, which required the soldiers of the Crusade to do it themselves.

Therefore, the benefits of military reclamation are reflected at this time.

"The troops of Dongjun and Dangjun can't move!" Chen Ping looked at the map and said with a frown.

"Well, Dongjun and Dangjun can be horns of each other, before the main force is in place, any movement here may attract the attention of the enemy, and the troops on the Yingchuan border cannot move!" Zhang Liang agreed.

The pressure on Dangjun was the greatest, and it had to face both Chu and Zhang Chu at the same time, while the Eastern County could put pressure on the Chu State in the north and the Yingchuan County could put pressure on Zhang Chu in the west.

What they are most afraid of now is that if they move on their side, they will be seized by the Chu State and launch a direct attack.

Although the combat effectiveness of the Han army is strong, it is impossible to cover everything on the long border.

Once it was broken in by the Chu army, the consequences were unimaginable.

"Well, in this way, I have a plan in my heart, after arriving in Xindu, I will try my best to persuade Wang Li, if his food and grass are insufficient, I will supply from Dongjun, and I will keep Wang Li as close to the border of Chu as possible, and put pressure on him so that he does not dare to launch an offensive before the arrival of the main force." Chen Ping said.

Ever since he received Wang Bu's order, Chen Ping has been preparing.

Calculate the time of the start of the war, what may happen in the middle, and how to deal with it.

They are not worried about the combat strength of grain and grass, but they are most worried that the Chu army will take advantage of the vacancy period of their troops to attack.

Therefore, at this time, the importance of Wang Li's army is reflected.

If they put pressure on the border, the Chu army would never dare to make any changes.

"Without further ado, Chen will set off as soon as possible, and the old man will inform the king of the changes in things." Zhang Liang nodded and said.

The two of you said a word, and in less than a day, they basically determined the next overall trend.

Maybe Wang is not hungry has the idea that Wang is not hungry, but until he returns, this layout is undoubtedly the most reliable.

It is very difficult to do the war without delaying the farming work.

In the end, Chen Ping specially explained something about the beauty pageant for Wang Buhang.

Originally, the two of them did this together, but now that Chen Ping has something to leave, this arduous task will naturally fall on Zhang Liang alone.

In the Hereafter, it is a manifestation of not doing a proper job.

But for now, that's the big thing on the head of the country.

As long as the king is not hungry and has no descendants, no matter how well the country is governed, it is a level of 50 points for stability and long-term peace and stability.

I don't believe you, the First Emperor......

Such cases abound in history, so all places attach great importance to the beauty pageant of King Han.

If it is big, it is a major national event, and if it is small, it is also an opportunity to win a political future for yourself.

If the beauty you nominated is chosen, isn't that equivalent to someone in the palace?

And he is also the king's pillow man, although there are still risks, but if you don't even want to take this risk, then what can you talk about getting ahead?

As a result, the counties began to desperately inquire about the women in their jurisdictions who met the requirements, and then met one by one to confirm whether the other conditions were suitable.

Counties, counties, all kinds of screening out as many as 100 people.

In order to be able to add points, the officials even prepared gorgeous clothes for it to set off its image.

And there is nothing they can do about such a reaction at the grassroots level.

Therefore, we can only check it when the candidates are finally determined, and by the way, let the scouts conduct an in-depth investigation of these people, and some of them with strong purpose will naturally be screened out.

Chen Ping did not delay, and left Luoyang in the afternoon with fifty of his own soldiers and one hundred forbidden soldiers.

They had to rush to the corpse town (Yanshi West) before dark, and then rush to Gongxian before dark the next day, and the whole itinerary was full, and there could be no delay at all.
