Chapter 1272: Feather Divine Courage (Second Update)
"Resistance?"
"Maybe there will be, maybe not, but it depends on Xiang Liang's choice."
"But...... Whether to resist or not, it seems that the result is similar. ”
The army still marched along the southern border of Wei, although the roads of Wei were rarely repaired for a hundred years...... Hundreds of schools of thought gathered in the Wei Kingdom, and businessmen gathered, for the smooth flow of roads.
Naturally, there will be some old people and businessmen who work together to build it, so it ...... It's also pretty good.
Although the speed of travel is slightly slower due to rainy weather, it can be ...... There is no way to do it.
"Wu Zhenhou!"
"In one more day's journey, you can reach Tuocheng, according to the report from the scouts, the state of Chu has 8,000 soldiers there, and there is a tendency to continue to increase the army."
The rainy day was dreary, although it was noon, it was still a little dark, and as Flame Spirit Ji's previous words fell, a loud sound came from outside the carriage.
"Of the thirteen cities occupied by the Chu State, six are west of the Ji River and seven are east of the Ji River, compared to the six cities we captured before, the seven cities east of the Ji River are more dangerous and prosperous."
"It seems...... The state of Chu didn't want to give up those seven cities. ”
"Pass on the Hou order, the scouts will increase their exploration efforts, press on the 10,000 heavy armored soldiers first, and don't rush to the front of the expansion of the city, wait for us to keep up, and encircle the expansion of the city."
Zhou Qing responded slowly, the map was floating in the depths of his mind, everything was obvious, and he ...... Qianhong had to deal with the six cities she had won earlier, so she was left alone.
He and Flame Spirit Ji took the lead and prepared to get the remaining cities one by one and drive back the 100,000 troops of the Chu State.
"Whoa!"
The soldier outside the carriage answered, and immediately ...... Hurry away.
"Childe, that's what you say...... What's next to be a war with the State of Chu? ”
Flame Spirit Ji, who was still not in a high mood a moment ago, suddenly opened her bright eyes and looked at Childe with obvious curiosity.
"Then it depends on the determination of the Chu State."
Zhou Qing smiled slightly, the answer to that question did not lie in himself, but in the state of Chu, and in Xiang Liang, who was leading the troops at the moment, if they wanted to leave the other seven cities, they had to fight.
"Let's fight."
"Beat those Chu people back, and the remaining seven cities will surrender directly, and we can go back."
For more than half a month, most of them were on the road, which was really boring.
The key is that those Chu people know how to run, and they don't know how to confront it head-on, it's really ...... is different from the rumored Southern Chu powerhouse, and now ...... It seems that the state of Chu wants to resist?
That's great!
******
"Uncle!"
"According to the scout's report, in two days at most, Xuan Qingzi, the Marquis of Wuzhen of the Qin State, will lead 30,000 vanguard cavalry to Tuocheng, and there are only 10,000 garrisons there."
"Whether you want to continue to increase troops, sure enough, Tuocheng can't hold it, it's not good news for other cities."
Qian County!
Hundreds of miles away from Tuocheng, the main force of the 100,000 troops of the Chu State went north this time, and more than 50,000 troops were stationed here, and the remaining 50,000 troops were scattered in the remaining seven cities.
For several months, 100,000 Chu troops Chen soldiers border, thinking that ...... After all, the Great Liang City of Wei State fell, and the King of Wei was captured and escorted to Xianyang.
Wei Guosheji and Zongmiao do not exist.
The Wei State is destroyed!
Therefore, the thirteen cities on the border from west to east were under the control of the Chu army, and I never thought that Xuan Qingzi really transferred 100,000 troops and marched all the way east.
The momentum is very large, and it can't, and under the trade-off, it is to abandon the six cities west of the Jihe River, which can be regarded as the first six cities to bear the brunt of Wang Ben's army in the south.
The seven cities east of the Jihe River are not ordinary, although the Great Liang City of Wei was destroyed, but if the entire Wei State wants to be under the control of Qin, it is also necessary for Qin to send a large army to bring the cities under control.
The Jihe River divides the south into east and west, and the east is already a place where many old Wei clans gather, and there are still a large number of soldiers, money and goods, and even nearly half of the strength of the entire Wei State remains.
So...... The Chu army east of the Jihe River could completely converge with the remnants of Wei to resist the attack of the Qin State, while to the west of the Jihe River, it did not have that advantage at all.
Now...... In just over half a month, the Marquis of Wu Zhenhou of Qin State dispatched 100,000 troops from Nanyang and Yingchuan Counties to march eastward, and the momentum was very huge.
The county lord's mansion is in the hall, where Xiang Liang and other Chu army lords gathered, and the young Xiang Ji and the dragon were also in the column, the sand table was displayed, and the map was hung, and it was clearly marked where the Xuanqingzi of the Qin State was marching at this moment.
As soon as he saw the scene, Xiao Xiang took a step forward and put forward his own opinions.
The six cities west of the Jihe River, if you don't want it, you don't want it, but the seven cities east of the Jihe River are extraordinary, and they really give up...... The coming sun fell in the hands of the Qin State, and for it to fight between Qin and Chu, there is no doubt that the Qin State has one more southward route.
What's more, it is still the first city east of the Ji River, and it also falls in the eyes of the other six cities, and if the Chu army can help stop it, then they still have confidence in the future.
Sure enough, it can't be stopped, plus the Wei Guozong Temple doesn't exist!
I'm afraid the situation is plummeting!
"The land of the Central Plains, many smooth roads, expand the city and stand, if you want to help the city hold on, with the troops under the command of Xuanqing Zi, at least more than 20,000 troops must be reinforced."
"When Xuan Qingzi's follow-up troops arrive, sure enough, the expansion of the city still exists, and we still need to continue to increase our troops."
"If that's the case, don't you really want to fight with hundreds of thousands of troops in Tuocheng?"
Xiang Liang was wearing heavy armor and standing in front of the sand table, the situation was very clear, there was no need to look at it much, and because of the topography, there was not much possibility of mediation.
The seven cities east of the Jihe River are the first to expand the city, and the importance is not allowed to be said.
In any case, stick to it as much as possible!
"General!"
"According to the report from the scouts, after Qin took Wang Ben from Daliang City, he sent tens of thousands of elite soldiers to the south to join the Xuanqingzi of the Qin State, compared with the soldiers in the hands of Xuanqingzi, Wang Ben's soldiers are more elite."
"The Qin general Yang Duanhe is heading south, bringing the Wei cities under his control, and sure enough, he has been in a stalemate here for several months, I am afraid that my 100,000 troops are at a disadvantage, and the Qin army can gather more than 200,000 troops!"
On the right side of his command, a soldier came out of the ranks, clasped his fists and saluted, saying that the situation in front of him was that since Wang Ben took Daliang City, the situation in the entire Wei State has completely changed, and it has been completely chaotic.
When Wei Fake was still there, the entire Wei State still had a backbone.
Now Wei Jia has been escorted to Xianyang!
The entire Wei State, who was afraid of the Qin State soldiers, surrendered directly.
Those who did not want to surrender to Qin were still resisting, such as Wei Qi and Wei Bao, who had already gathered tens of thousands of troops east of Wei to resist Qin's eastward advance.
Correct...... In any case, continuing the stalemate is not a good thing for the 100,000 Chu troops that Chen Bing is here.
"We still have a day to respond."
Xiang Liang whispered.
Xuanqingzi is already close to Tuocheng, and Qiaoxian is not far from Tuocheng, so it ...... Countermeasures must be decided within one day, otherwise...... Whether you stick to it or not, it's difficult!
Forcibly holding on and continuing will only drag 100,000 Chu troops here!
If you don't hold on, the 100,000 Chu army will get nothing!
"Uncle, why not be afraid of a war with the Qin State."
"Now, although the Wei State is destroyed, the Wei people will not yield to the Qin State, so the people's will is available, and sure enough, the Chu State and the Wei State can join forces, and they can draw troops on the spot, thinking that they will hold on, and in a few months, the number of troops can also exceed 200,000, and they are not afraid of the Qin State."
"And east of the Ji River, there are many rich cities, and the weight of grain and grass can also be supported."
"In this case, how can you not fight with it?"
Sub-item ...... Determined to fight, since the north to this place, in the past few months, without a single soldier, to take 13 cities, is already a great feat.
Now, it is not so easy for the Qin State to take away those thirteen cities again!
If you want to fight, you will fight, why should the Chu army be afraid!
In addition, they are not without a chance of winning, in terms of military strength, the next Wei State and Chu State will join forces, so they should not worry!
The same is true when it comes to grain and grass.
So...... How not to be able to fight with one.
"What do you think?"
Hearing Ji'er's words, Xiang Liang smiled slightly, the Chu army was naturally not afraid of a battle, but ...... Some things are not so simple, this thing ...... I already have a choice in my mind.
Turning his gaze away from the sand table, he landed on the red-haired young man beside him.
"This ......, General!"
"Long thought that when we fought with the Qin army, we waited for 100,000 troops to go north, and they had already occupied 13 cities in the Wei State...... Demoralizing. ”
The red-haired young man, wearing light armor, didn't expect General Xiang Liang to ask himself, and his expression couldn't help but show a pause, and then he thought about it, took a step forward, and hugged his fists and saluted.
A necessary battle!
Whether the outcome of the battle is victory or defeat!
If it is victorious, then the morale of the Chu army will be greatly victorious, and the remaining strength of the Wei State will also support the Chu State even harder!
If it is defeated, then ...... If you give up those seven cities, the Chu army will lose a little bit! You can also see the gap between each other.
Chu Jun still has time to deal with it!
"Little Dragon!"
"The Chu army should be like this, why should the Chu army be afraid of a war!"
Xiao Xiang was overjoyed, looking at the dragon beside him, his heart was happy, what Xiao Long thought was really the same as himself.
If you want to fight, you will fight, why should the Chu army be afraid of a battle!
"Hahaha, you guys."
Looking at the two warlike young men, Xiang Liang smiled and scolded with one hand.
"Report!"
"General, Da Sima has sent urgent documents!"
Before Xiang Liang could continue to say anything, outside the side hall, there was already a fast horse document coming, although there was still a hazy drizzle, but the rhyme was loud and extraordinary, and it was very far away, and it could be transmitted to the depths.
"Da Sima!"
"Da Sima!"
“……”
"Grandfather?"
“……”
As soon as the words came out, the entire side hall was shocked, the great Sima was naturally the old general of the Chu State Sima Xiang Yan, how could the old general send an urgent document at this time.
Could it be that there is some urgent explanation?
The generals did not dare to hesitate, and Xiang Liang was even more so, quickly invited the envoy in, and after a brief salute, he took a bamboo tube from the man's hand and took out a secret document from it.
