Chapter 34: There Are Demons
"This is a big violation of the norm, there must be a demon." The shogunate in Yaoguan is only the shogunate of the Chu army in the direction of Lantian Road, and the real shogunate of the Chu army is located in the city of Xiangcheng. The siege brigade was glad to have successfully captured the mountain pass, but it was surprising, and he said at the usual government meeting every morning.
"Si Yin thought ......" Nao and Lu Yangjun looked at him, wondering his judgment.
"Qin people may tempt me to go deeper," Li He directly said his judgment.
"If the Qin people really lured me in, then why couldn't the previous night attack?" Lu Yangjun has no prejudice against Li Ji, but he feels that Li Ji's judgment cannot be self-consistent. It is very strange that the Qin army abandoned the mountain pass, and in order to seize the mountain pass, Cheng Tong transferred the two divisions of Qi Si and Xia Cai to Sanchakou, intending to fight a bloody battle with the Qin people. However, there was no bloody battle at all, and the Qin army took the initiative to abandon the mountain pass.
Lu Yangjun's question could not be answered, and Lu Yangjun continued: "The Qin people will also be fallacious, Meng Tian is young, and his father Mengwu is not serious, and the abandonment of the shogunate should be caused by the geographical fallacy of the shogunate. ”
"Meng Tian is young, but the Meng Tian Shogunate is the Shogunate of Mengwu, and the Mengwu Shogunate is the Shogunate of Mengwu back then, how can the strategists be wrong?" He retorted. "I thought there was fraud in this matter, and our army should not enter lightly."
"Don't go lightly?" This time, even Nao was cunning.
"Don't take it lightly for the time being." He explained. "Although the Qin people have harvested millet, there is still a shortage of grain. I am anxious to attack the pass, and he is also anxious to defeat me......"
"The matter has come to this, why should Si Yin say anything more?!" Nao sighed heavily.
Maintain an offensive against the Qin, forcing the Qin to gather forces, but are not in a hurry to storm Guanzhong. To put it simply, it is dragging, and this is the real strategic concept of the Operations Division. It's just that when the battle plan was formulated, it was not clear about the grain situation in Qin, and every battle was won in the past ten years, and the Qin people quickly retreated when they saw the Chu division, and the courtiers and generals did not want to delay it, but wanted to quickly kill Qin and end the war.
This was the original intention of the decision to launch the offensive on the Western Front. After that, the news of the great hunger of the Qin State came, and it was impossible for the War Division to bring up the old matter even if it wanted to repeat it.
It is difficult to drag and attack. Chu people are anxious, disgusted with procrastination, and like to fight quickly; Xiong Jing wanted to defeat the Qin army once again, and did not like to drag the Qin people to starve to death, so he agreed to attack Guanzhong instead of dragging the Qin state down.
Thinking habits are like this, and there is another question that Li himself can't answer: what if the Qin people are given a respite, and after the three-oared war boat is built, the Qin people attack the Chu State from Longxi to Qi State?
What is Great Power War? The war of great powers is by no means a comparison of the parameters of existing weapons, but an all-out war of the whole society and in all fields. In war, weapons and tactics iterate very quickly, and the high-quality weapons of the previous battle will be reduced to mediocrity in the next battle, and the next battle may be suppressed by the enemy; The same is true of tactics, the tactics that worked well in the previous battle may be invalid in the next battle, and by the third and fourth battles, the tactics will be completely restrained by the enemy.
Ten years ago, in the Battle of Qingshui, even if the Chu army surrounded the Qin army, it was helpless against the Qin army. After that, the Chu army's weapons and tactics improved rapidly, and ten years later, the Qin army no longer dared to face the enemy head-on. Not only did the Chu army progress, but the Qin army was also changing rapidly, although this change was inspired by the Chu army, and at the same time, it was subject to technology and systems, and many of them could not be realized.
After the Chu State moved eastward, it did not experience a long and arduous war between major powers, and Li could not appreciate the continuous progress of weapons and technology, and the outcome of the war was unpredictable. In particular, the Qin State has always been despised by the Kwantung States and regarded as a place for transformation by the Kwantung region.
Xiong Jing originally held a similar view, but the situation was different when the Qin State connected to the West and recruited boat-building craftsmen from the extreme west to come to Qin. There are too many things west of Kunlun Mountain that cannot be obtained by the Qin people, and once the Qin people connect to the west of Kunlun Mountain, with the size of the Qin State, it is bound to change the power pattern of the world. The best and only way is to destroy the Qin state before it changes.
Nao's cunning words were heavy, and he could only bow his head and say nothing. At this time, Lu Yangjun asked me: "Is there any change in the Qin people?" ”
"No news." Don't let me shake my head, "The ministers will go back to the house to discuss this matter, and then let the Hou spy find out." ”
"Our army has climbed the Mandarin Crane Mountain, and when the soldiers find out the road, they can make a detour to the rear of the mountain stream, and this matter is too late." Nao Cunning understood what I meant, and he felt that it was too late.
"If you are not as good as your subordinates, you should do your best." Don't talk to me. After saying this, seeing that Nao and Lu Yangjun had no instructions, he got up and shook it, and then retreated.
"There must be a demon in this matter." The same judgment appeared in the mouth of Cao Cao Peng Huan of Qin State.
In addition to him, the poultry uncle of Cao Cao Peng of Zhao Guo also nodded again and again, "The land of death and life in Yuanhu Mountain, the Qin people must defend it, how can they abandon it?" ”
"What will the Qin people want?" I looked at the two of them, thinking about it myself.
"Abandonment is because the Qin people already have the heart to win, otherwise why abandon it?" Huan Qi Road. "What Li Siyin said is reasonable, Meng Tian is young, but Meng Tian's shogunate advisers are all his father's advisers, and his heart was once the heart of his ancestor Meng Xuan. How could he be so sophisticated that he would make a mistake. ”
"Victorious?" Huan Qi's mention made me shake, he thought of something, but he was not sure: "Could it be that the Qin people have built a large-winged war boat that can fight with me?" Or did the Qin people cast artillery that was not inferior to mine, and they had broken the secret of gunpowder, so that they could fight with me? ”
"Or the army of Wang Qian, Li Xin, and Yu Fen all returned to Guanzhong, and the Qin army was three times larger than mine at that time, and our army would be defeated." Uncle Fowl reminded. "The failure of the night attack was due to the fact that the Qin people were not prepared at that time, and the reason for abandoning the defense today is because the Qin people have prepared everything, and they can fight decisively."
"This ......" Huan Qi's thinking is correct, and the inference of the poultry uncle is also very reasonable. If Yuanhu Mountain is only one factor for the Qin people to control the time of the decisive battle, then it is easy to understand whether to defend and abandon it. It's just that what makes the Qin people have the heart to win?
"Someone!" Don't stop thinking, I shouted. If others don't know the answer, they can ask Zhibisi, and if they don't know the answer, they can only ask Hou Spy. The only thing that made the Qin people win was the war boats, artillery, and troops, and the direction of Hou's spy investigation would also be aimed at these three directions.
If the Chu army defeats the Qin army again and then invades Guanzhong, the Qin state will die, so many Hou spies who are not in use will also be activated this time, and the various restrictions that Hou spies usually prohibit will also be lifted. Therefore, in the afternoon, the Xun pigeons, which were carefully used after Xiong Qi's death, flew out of the Yingdu pigeon cage in flocks and flew to Guanzhong north of the Qinling Mountains.
Overnight, the Kwantung Hou spies, who had been suppressed by the National Governor's Mansion, sprung up, and Wei Yi, who was awakened by his subordinates in the middle of the night, was stunned at first, and then waved his hand and fell asleep. The next day, after the inspection, he personally reported the matter to Zhao Zheng.

“…… Let's go back to geography and what is known. Zhao Zhengxi hunted in Yongcheng, and Aristotle IV and his student Fusu naturally followed him to Yongcheng. In addition to the Seven Arts, Aristotle IV also taught Fusu to know the known world, for which he specially prepared a map of the known world.
The westernmost part of this map is our sea (the Mediterranean), and the map adds the East Asian part, and the easternmost part is obviously the Chengshan Jiao of the Qi Kingdom, and the legendary Yingzhou. Professor Aristotle IV spoke from the southernmost part of the Mediterranean:
"This is the Nile, the mother river of Egypt, which probably comes from a high mountain in the south, but it may also be connected to the Red Sea, which the Chuni call the Red Ocean. If so, then navigators could have found a route to India by tracing the Nile directly south without going through the Egyptian canals.
Of course, the navigator could not have gone to India, but continued south, like the Phoenicians supported by the pharaohs of Egypt more than 300 years ago, bypassing the southern continent and appearing beyond the Dakhlacles Pillars. ”
Speaking of this, Aristotle IV paused and said with a frown: "As far as I know, the Chuni have already done this, their merchant ships have crossed the Red Ocean, bypassed the southern continent, appeared beyond the Dakhlacles Pillars, and finally entered our sea. They paid a friendly visit to Carthage, followed by a visit to Egypt......"
The Chuni were something that Aristotle IV had to mention, and the Chuni's exquisite seafaring skills and beautiful merchant ships had become the focus of conversation among the countries of the Mediterranean, although their merchant ships had suddenly disappeared in the Mediterranean.
Sensing that Fusu was going to ask the Chuni people, Aristotle IV hurriedly coughed and said, "Child, it must be known that the known world is interconnected through the ocean, and no country is isolated, but a part of the known world......
