It is said that King Wu of Shang, there are 800 princes will be allied in Mengjin, including the country of Ba, many Ba warriors are thousands of miles away, joined the team of King Wu of Zhou, set off with him from the coast of Weishui, all the way to the Central Plains Dayi Shang, sang and danced in the battle of Muye, and made great contributions to King Wu's war......

At present, Heifu is fortunate to repeat the original scene, after the incident of Wuluo Zhongli Mountain, the Ba people obeyed Heifu's request, and left Yidao with him, heading southeast.

However, when Heifu and Yiling County Lieutenant Ling Kui arrived at Xiaoling City across two hundred miles with more than 1,000 soldiers and 3,000 Ba people, they found that they had run away in vain.

It is rumored that the Chu army, which had gathered nearly 10,000 people here, had long since disappeared, leaving only an empty camp. The black magpie hovered up and down, and some Qin soldiers were still collecting the remaining military funds inside, carrying large bags of food and discarded weapons, and walking towards the city with a smile.

When they saw a group of barefoot Ba people clamoring and shouting closer, the Qin army was very nervous, and they were still enemy troops. So two thousand men immediately set up a position outside the city, and it was not until Heifu himself came forward on horseback and identified himself that their hostility was dispelled.

As Heifu passed through the city walls, he found that the corpses were still being gathered, the air was filled with the smell of crows that ate on rotting corpses, there were still many floating corpses floating in the moats, the loess walls of the tomb were broken and burned, and the gates were full of arrows. It is conceivable that at the same time as the Battle of Yidao, there was also a tragic battle here.

It wasn't until he saw the county lieutenant Li You and a group of familiar soldiers and county lieutenants in the city that he learned what happened here.

It turned out that after Ye Teng, the county guard, learned that the direction of the Chu army's main attack was Xiaoling, he immediately returned to Jiangling by boat and mobilized local county soldiers to cross the river to support, after all, the status of Xiaoling is much more important than that of Yidao. This army was personally commanded by the county lieutenant Li You, and there were as many as four or five thousand people, and follow-up reinforcements also came in a steady stream from the counties along the river.

In the face of the rapid increase of the Qin army, and the situation was not opened on the Yidao side, the commander of the Chu army decisively chose to retreat, and the Qin army was insufficient in number and did not pursue deeply, so this Mengxia offensive ended hastily.

"What a pity!"

Heifu secretly said in his heart that it was a pity, if the generals of the Chu army were lucky, they might now face the fate of being attacked by the Qin army and the Ba people, and there would be more than hundreds of people killed in the battle.

However, he patted Li You's ass on his lips and said: "Fortunately, the county lieutenant came in time, so that the Chu people failed to succeed, otherwise they would lose the tomb and Yidao would not be able to keep it, this summer and autumn, the preparation of Nanjun will be greatly affected, I am afraid it will be difficult to send troops to Huaibei to participate in the destruction of Chu!" ”

Li You shook his head helplessly and said, "Otherwise, although this battle did not capture Xiaoling, the purpose of the Chu people has been achieved." ”

"The subordinate would like to hear and explain."

Heifu made a puzzled look, willing to listen to Li You's teachings.

Li You said to everyone: "Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the king is bent on destroying Chu, how can the people of Chu not know?" The reason why he sent envoys to provoke the Yidaoba people to rebel and attack Xiaoling was nothing more than to put pressure on Nanjun so that Nanjun could not concentrate on preparing for the big war. Now the main force of the Chu army in the south of the Yangtze River is still there, and if the southern county sends all the county soldiers to Huaibei, Xiaoling, Yidao, and even Jiangling may be attacked by the Chu army again. ”

Heifu understands that although it is still too early to fight the Armageddon, the wrestling between Qin and Chu on the corners has begun, and the King of Chu and Xiang Yan will not sit idly by, they will try to find the flaws in the Qin State, and if there are no flaws in Shangcai and Liang Song, then start from the Nanjun in the corner......

The plan of the Chu people can be said to be half of the success, and the southern counties that are across the river from the Chu state and whose borders are intertwined must first consider their own safety. Therefore, Li You changed his initial plan, and he decided to leave 20,000 people in Nanjun to guard against Chu when he sent troops after the autumn, and only took 10,000 people to Huaibei to join the main army.

This also means that the soldiers of the counties of Jiangling and Yingxian, as well as the soldiers of the counties along the river, will not go out to fight.

"In this way, if you stay in the county or along the river, you are likely to end up with a left-behind errand."

Heifu secretly remembered Li You's plan, and then when Li You asked him about the situation of Yidao, he took Li You to the dilapidated city, pointing out the 3,000 Yidaoba people who were vigilantly surrounded by the Qin army several miles away.

Li You looked at the Ba people who were sitting back to back with some surprise: "I just planned to relieve the danger of Xiaoling, so I sent people to Yidao to help, who would have thought that you would put down the rebellion first, and also recover the local Ba people's tribes, and drive them to fight for Qin?" How? ”

When he heard that they had lobbied the Yidao tribes to kill the first evil bird in Wuluo Zhongli Mountain, Li You couldn't help but praise it: "Well done!" The crux of the rebellion of the Ba people lies in the king, and as soon as Fan Yu died, he naturally collapsed. ”

Li You greatly admired Heifu's ability and means, but Heifu said that he only thought of an idea, mainly because of the lobbying work of Ba Zhong, the son of widow Qingzhi......

"Besides, the subordinates lured the Ba people to come here with me, in addition to wanting to assist the county lieutenant to relieve the siege, there is another reason!"

Heifu arched his hand at Li You and said coldly: "County Captain, the Ba people rebelled and killed the Yidao County Magistrate and the County Lieutenant, although the blame was attributed to Fan Yu and his subordinates, but among these people, there are not a few people who have the blood of the Qin people on their hands. Now that they are hindered by the situation and persuaded by Ba Zhong to submit again, they may one day rebel because of a trivial matter, and if they are left alone, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince them. ”

"What do you mean......"

Li You couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, and lowered his voice and said, "Make it a pit of its youth!?" ”

Heifu couldn't cry or laugh, where did Lieutenant Li think of this?

More than 30 years ago, after the Battle of Changping, under multiple pressures such as food and military exploits, Bai Qi killed all the Zhao pawns on the grounds that "Zhao pawns are repeated, not all killed, I am afraid of chaos"!

The young and strong people of Yidaoba are all here, and the Qin army has at least five or six thousand, and they are in an absolute advantage in terms of numbers and equipment.

This is a desperate method, it looks very tempting, if it is really done, although it can make the Yidaoba people slump from now on, but there are a lot of troubles.

First of all, Heifu's reputation was going to rot after this time, and he swore to let the Ba people follow him to the tomb, but he treacherously killed them all, and from then on, every Ba people would hate to eat his flesh raw.

Secondly, the Yidaoba people have been hit hard, but what about the hundreds of thousands of Ba people in Ba County, Nan County, and Qianzhong County? Can you still use this method to extinct one by one? Obviously, it is impossible, and it is also contrary to the gentle policy adopted by the Qin State, and when this matter spreads, I am afraid that the Ba people on the border of Qin and Chu will surrender to the Chu State.

So Heifu smiled: "The subordinates didn't mean this, they just thought that if they wanted to recover the Ba people, it was not feasible to blindly give Huairou concessions, and they needed to be beaten from time to time." It's a pity that the Chu people retreated quickly, and they failed to let the Ba people see the scene of their defeat. But now that the army is gathered here, it is better to take this opportunity to let the military officials take the soldiers to perform martial arts on the outskirts of the city, show the strength of the Qin State to the Ba people, and let these lonely and unheard border barbarians know the power of the Qin army! Then take advantage of the situation to force the monarchs, hand over the murderers who participated in the killing of the Qin people and Qin soldiers, bring them to justice, and return the wronged souls to Zhaoxue! ”
