Chapter 43: The Bed
Until the night slowly fell, Mi Xuan was thinking about the last question the man asked: Who is the enemy? As everyone knows, the main purpose of Xiong Jing's question is to hope that she will not think about it and stop crying tonight. Mi Xuan really didn't think about it and didn't cry anymore, but when the night fell, when she came back to her senses, she thought that the man was going to marry her today, and tears flowed down again.
Xiong Jing in his sleep hugged his bedclothes, and his head and face were all covered in his bedclothes, as if this soft bedclothes were Mi Xuan. In the dream, he asked Mi Xuan to lean against the wall to make the jade leg horse into a standard word, and then looked at her beautiful eyes, and began to play with kisses from the delicate ankles that faintly showed veins like white jade at the top, and then kissed the clotted calves, kissed the knees and the sensitive popliteal fossa ......, and when he kissed the root of the thighs, he was woken up.
"What's the matter?!" The good spring dream was interrupted, and Xiong Jing was very displeased.
"Big, big king......" Even Changjiang was also startled, and he was a little stammered.
"What?" Xiong Jing was angry for a while, and asked again. He didn't get up quickly because it was inconvenient to get up.
"Tell the king, Chengtong is urgent." Outside was the sound of Li, and he didn't dare to enter the room, for fear that there would be a woman on the bed indoors.
"What's the matter with him?" Xiong Jing got up, but just sat on the side of the bed, not up.
"Cheng Tongyan, the teacher has gone down to Jingzi Pass." Outside, Li Ji hesitated for a moment before saying this news that made Xiong Jing unhappy.
"Huh?!" Xiong Jing was shocked and no longer cared about any etiquette, and let his lower body stand up after standing up. "Why did he pull out the Jing Zi Pass? The previous strategy was to attack Jingzi Pass after three or four days, otherwise the Qin army would return to Xianyang early. ”
"Definitely. Ran Chengtong reported urgently, and the teacher had gone down to Jingzi Pass. "The recklessness and helplessness of the teacher disrupted the whole plan.
Attacking Shangmi only means that the Chu army has the intention of advancing westward, and if it does not advance westward immediately after pulling out Shangmi, Xianyang will have a fluke mentality - Nanjun, Nanyang, and Hanzhong (Shun Hanshui can go straight to Hanzhong), and Hanzhong is related to Bashu and Qianzhong. If the Qin State really wants to cede Nanjun and Nanyang County, it is equivalent to the loss of the entire south.
As long as the intention of the Chu army to advance westward was not obvious, more precisely, as long as Wuguan remained, the Qin army would continue to move south in order to recapture Nanyang County and Nanjun and remove the threat from Hanzhong. Although the follower did not break the martial pass, he broke the Jingzi pass. Jingzi Pass is equivalent to half of Wuguan, as long as Su Danshui travels another two hundred miles to break through Zhulin Pass, then Wuguan will be useless.
One hundred and twenty miles to the north of Zhulin Pass, it is Shangyi (now Danfeng County). Shangyi was the former fief of Shang Ying, which was eighty miles behind Wuguan. If the Chu army arrives here, there is no need for the military pass to guard or not.
Shangyi is the southeast end of the Shangluo (now Shangluo) Shangyi Basin, and the Qinling Mountains are to the northwest. Danshui comes from the south of the Qinling Mountains, and Bashui comes from the north of the Qinling Mountains. Although Shangluo used to go to Lantian and there was a pass (now Mu Huguan), but the pass was not a steep pass. After a martial pass, the next step is basically to go straight to Lantian.
The attendant helped Xiong Jing get dressed, and he no longer had the slightest thought of spring dreams in his heart. "What if?" He asked.
The annoyance of the "......ministers" is annoyance, but it is a fait accompli that Jingzi Pass can be removed. He is a rational person, and since it is a fact, he can only be wrong. "The minister thought that since this was the case, he could only pull out the bamboo forest pass in one go.
The bamboo forest is two hundred miles away from Jingzi Pass, and the middle section of the waterway is close to Wuguan, and Wuguan water is also in this Huidan water. If the Wuguan Qin army moves south, guards the mouth of the river, or blocks the waterway, it will be very disadvantageous to us. Only by pulling out the Shangyi quickly with one blow can the army be dismissed. ”
"Bastard!" The washing water brought by the temple people was too hot, and Xiong Jing scolded hotly. The water is hot, and more because the entire war plan has to be adjusted because of this. "He made ......"
It is very difficult to accept the ready-made facts. Xiong Jing, who had no intention of washing, sat down and began to calmly consider the effects of pulling out Jing Ziguan in advance and how to remedy it. "How many days does it take to get from Shangmi to Shangyi?" He asked.
"Now that the Danshui is full, once the beacon lighthouse is set up, it will only take one and a half days to travel day and night, and it will take three days to march only during the day." Li replied, and after speaking, he said: "Even if there is no navigation beacon lighthouse, it will only take five days to attack the Zhulin Pass from Jingzi Pass to Shangyi for 350 miles. Our cavalry has cut off the main waterway, and the Qin army of Wuguan knows that Jingzi Pass is lost, or five days later.
Xianyang needs to wait for our army to pull out Shangyi, only to know that our army has gone around to the back of Wuguan. Wait for the Xianyang monarch's order to pass to Li Xinjun, or seven or eight days later. At this time, the Qin army had already left the fortress and entered Korea. ”
Under the fait accompli, Li and strongly advocated taking advantage of the situation, so the reaction time of the Qin army was extended. Jingzi Pass to Wuguan is only one hundred and fifty miles, and the scouts can be reached in one day, and the scouts can be reached in two days by taking the mountain road. The Qin army has a flying message, although the transmission of news is a little small, but for such a big thing as the loss of Wuguan, there will definitely be a specific transmission symbol.
It can be said that as long as it is confirmed that the Chu army appeared in Shangyi, Xianyang will know within an hour, and at most make a decision on the second day, and then use the flying message to order the Qin army to turn. The whole process only takes three days and will not take more than four days.
The advent of Feixun, even the emergence of a copycat version of Feixun, had a revolutionary impact on the war. Chu Jun enjoyed the benefits brought by Feixun, but also suffered the consequences of Feixun.
Once the Qin army turned, the situation would turn into a race between the Qin and Chu armies: the Qin army set out from Sanchuan County and marched west to rescue Xianyang. Because the Qin army was marching from north to south in the past few days, it was impossible to be more than 800 li away from Xianyang when it received the order to turn, and at most it was more than 700 li. This journey, even if it is an overland march, is only twelve or three days;
The Chu army set out from Shangyi (provided that within three or four days, the Chu army could flank the front and rear to annihilate the tens of thousands of Qin troops stationed at Wuguan), traveled 100 miles to Shangluo, and then marched north from Shangluo, walking 150 miles by land to Lantian, during which it also had to break through the pass.
Lantian was the place of great war, and at least 200,000 Qin troops would gather in Lantian to stop the Chu army. To defeat these more than 200,000 Qin troops, it is necessary to set up sheepskin raft pontoon bridges on Bashui and Weishui under the threat of the Qin army's boat division, and walk another 150 miles to reach Xianyang City.
It only takes one day for Shangyi to travel 100 miles from Shangluo to Shangluozhou; Shangluo to Lantian is more than 150 miles of mountain roads, and the march will take four days, plus the breakthrough, assuming five days; Lantian fought for another day; With artillery to cover the sappers to build bridges in Bashui and Weishui, it took three days to reach Xianyang for 150 miles. That's already ten days, and then use the last remaining two to three days to pull out Xianyang?
Wancheng Shogunate, Xiong Jing, who had finished estimating the time, looked at Dou Yu Pheasant, Li Ji, Zhuang Wudi, Nao Xin and others, and said, "What do you think, what should this be?" ”
It is the sixth month of the Chu calendar, and the summer solstice has passed early, and it has entered the three dogs. There is no wind in the city of Wancheng, which is surrounded by city walls, and it is unusually hot from afternoon to dusk. Knowing the incessant shouts, the deputy envoy of the Qin State in the post house was drinking with Xiong Qi.
When his grandfather Mi Rong was still alive, the Mi family still had some prestige in the Qin State, and when Mi Rong died, in addition to leaving an empty lord, the Mi family had almost no influence except for relying on the ancestral queen mother Mi Thorn and relying on the entire Chu family. The title of Fengjun was received by the second, and when his father Mi Chang died, the Mi family, who had no improvement, would be no different from the head of Qian. No one expected that in such a declining family, the man did not do much, and poured out a woman who moved the world.
She really didn't know whether she should cry or laugh. His daughter King Qin wanted to marry, and King Chu also wanted to marry. Fortunately, now that King Qin has compromised, as long as King Chu agrees, his daughter can marry in and out of the palace openly. Therefore, he is particularly concerned about whether Qin and Chu can negotiate a peace alliance, only in this way can he be the uncle of the king of Chu, and he can revive the prestige of the Qi clan.
"Brother Wang only wants to recover his homeland, and he has no intention of destroying Qin." Mi Qian is not his own person, Xiong Qi does not dare to tell him the truth. "Once Qin Chu negotiates a peace alliance, Brother Wang will be crowned......"
"Crowned?" Mi Qian said strangely. "King Jing is less than twenty, how to crown?"
"The princes of the Son of Heaven are twelve crowns." Xiong Qi laughed as he spoke. "Besides, Xuan'er is very beautiful, and Brother Wang is very anxious."
Xiong Qi is a person who has come over, he has watched Zhao Zheng grow up and knows the thoughts of young people. When she heard the laughter, she felt uncomfortable. The daughter is the father's treasure, and he is reluctant to marry the king of Qin or the king of Chu.
"However," Xiong Qi turned around, "the affairs of the Chu State are not decided by the younger brother of the king, but by the Yingdu Zhengchao. If the Zhengchao insists on cutting down Qin......"
"How?" Qi Qian asked urgently. Whoever a daughter marries is married, but whether Qin Chu can negotiate peace is related to the fate of the Qi family.
"Then peace cannot be negotiated, and the war will start again." Xiong Qi no longer smiled, only solemn. This kind of solemnity seemed to others to be worried about the war situation, but in fact, he was worried about the future of the Qin State. After Xiong Jing invaded Xianyang, he abolished Zhao Zheng and established Fusu, and he would become the prime minister of Qin, and he supported Fusu until he was crowned pro-government.
In this way, the Qin state will undergo great changes: inside, the officials will be eliminated, the traitors will be cleared, and the counties will be given to the Zhao clan and the warlike generals in the Qin army. Outside, that is to redraw the border with Zhao, Wei, Han, and Chu.
There is no problem with the Zhao State to use the Taihang Mountain as the boundary; Wei and Han had some troubles, mainly in the Cuihan Valley Road. The state of Chu did not mind that the state of Qin kept the land east of the river, but it had to hand over the road of the Cuihan Valley, and the greatest allowance was to keep Taolinsai (now Tongguan). The west of Taolinsai belonged to Qin, and the east of Taolinsai belonged to Korea or Wei.
It was the most troublesome with the state of Chu, and Xiong Jing believed that the courtiers were likely to use the Qinling Mountains as the boundary between the two countries. In the east, that is, south of Shangluo belonged to the state of Chu, and the five counties of Hanzhong, Ba, Shu, Qianzhong, and Wu in the west were no longer owned by the Qin state. In fact, the state of Chu also took Nanyang County and Hanzhong County south of Shangluo, Ba, Shu, Qianzhong, Wu County, as well as Cangwu County and Jiuyue County of Chu itself, all of which would be handed over to the Yue tribes who had contributed to the war.
In this way, the places that Qin can retain are Longyou County, Beidi County, Neishi (Guanzhong), Shangjun, Hedong County, Shangdang County, and Taiyuan County to the north of Shangdang in Hedong. Shangdang and Taiyuan previously belonged to the Zhao state, and Hedong previously belonged to the Wei state. The state of Qin is weak, and the state of Zhao and Wei will inevitably start a war again after recuperation.
