Chapter 62: A Few Years

"No." Before Xiong Jing agreed, Nao Cunning spoke out against it. "Lu Shi is the most crowded, Chengjie will not agree. And Qi Wei saw that I sent tens of thousands of troops, why did he fight with the whole country's troops? 500,000 people will not be exhausted. ”

"500,000 armor soldiers of the Qi State, for the equipment of Jixi, at most 300,000 troops, Wei State sent 100,000 or 150,000 troops, our army or 50,000, this 450,000, should be able to fight with the Qin people." Xiang Yan roughly estimated the strength of the enemy and his own, and felt that he could fight.

"After the previous retreat, the Qin people have been on guard, if the Qin army is 600,000 and our army is 450,000, how can we fight?" Xiong Jing also did not approve of Xiang Yan's plan to divide the troops. It's really like the Battle of Chengpu, the Qin army stormed the two armies of Qi and Wei, the two armies were defeated, and no matter how strong the Chu army was, it would be detoured left and right, and there was no way to fight this battle.

"If the Qin army is 600,000, then I will have to be in Nanjun!" Xiang Yan said, what he sees is always the whole. "It is not necessary to advance westward to attack Qin. The government of the Qin State is headed by Xianyang, and if I can break through Xianyang, the Qin State will be destroyed. ”

"When will I be able to break through Xianyang?" Xiong Jing asked rhetorically. "The Operations Division has deduced that it is not feasible to enter the military pass after the recovery. It is necessary to take Nanyang County, Luguan and Fangcheng before entering Wuguan Road. In the past, the Chu army fought in Lantian and had to retreat, and Han Wei helped Qin. ”

Eighty years ago, the Chu army broke through the Wuguan and fought in Lantian, but was captured by the Han and Wei coalition forces Zhaoling (now Luohedong, Henan), and approached Dengyi, and finally had no choice but to retreat. After the Chu army regained Ying, it wanted to attack Xianyang from Wuguan Road, and also captured Wancheng, the center of Nanyang County, and also captured Luguan in the north of the Nanyang Basin, Fangcheng and Yexian in the northeast. When the Nanyang Basin is captured, the three-year accumulation of millet has almost been eaten, and the millet must be accumulated again. At this time, Zhao Guo died early.

This is a purely military analysis, if you look at it from a diplomatic and political point of view, the westward expansion of Fuying will definitely attract the opposition of the three kingdoms of Qi, Wei and Zhao. This is obviously to send troops from the Three Kingdoms to attract the firepower of the Qin army and use it as a sandbag for the Chu State. The state of Chu was restored, and they couldn't get the slightest benefit. And if the state of Chu enters Wuguan and really destroys the state of Qin, the situation in the world changes, and they have to beware of the state of Chu. Domino effect. As the westward march reverts, the Four-Power Alliance will not only end in practice, but will also end in trust.

Thinking of this, Xiong Jing couldn't help mentioning the old thing: "If you go out of the plug to hit Qin ......"

"It's dangerous to get out of the plug and attack Qin!" Xiang Yan said frankly. "Three thousand miles out of the fortress are wild places, the weather is different, and it is even more difficult to enter Qin for more than 700 miles.

"However, the War Division said it was feasible." Xiong Jing insisted that this is not feasible for subjective speculation, but feasible in practice and figures.

"The Department of Operations said that it was feasible, but it was not really feasible." Xiang Yan emphasized. "The army is outside, and there is a slight difference ......"

Involving the battle plan of the four countries, it is impossible for any side to leak secrets to imagine. Although the Meridian Ridge was avoided by not entering Qin from Shangjun, the Huangshui and Jingshui river valleys were also mostly dangerous places, and the forests were dense, so it was not difficult for the Qin army to set up an ambush.

"So what? Seeing that Zhao Guo was ruined and not saved? Xiong Jing asked, "If Zhao Guo dies, my old Ying will not outweigh the loss." ”

Xiong Jing's scolding Xiang Yan couldn't answer, and Nao Wei and the others couldn't answer either. With the political system of the Chu State, this matter cannot be reversed, and the westward expansion seems to be a foregone conclusion, and the Zhao State will fall. Xiong Jing, who thought about it and had nothing to do, said unexpectedly: "Quickly summon Chengsuke." ”

After the Ao system, state affairs are rarely decided in the Yan Dynasty, Xiong Jing suddenly summoned Cheng Jie to make people a little surprised, but it is also reasonable, Cheng Jie quickly responded to the call, he just sat down Xiong Jing said: "Cheng Qing thinks that Fu Ying can enter Wuguan Road to attack Xianyang in a few years?" ”

The king's call to ask about the national policy is called separately, and now Xiang Yan, Nao and others are all on one side, which makes Cheng Jie very unaccustomed. He glanced at Xiang Yan and the others and said, "Please also ask the king to retreat from others." ”

"Humph!" On the martial arts field, Yi Su still had a grudge, and he didn't wait for Xiong Jing to wave his sleeves and snorted. After he left, Xiang Yan and the others also bowed and retired, and only Xiong Jing and Cheng Jie were left in the huge Mingtang.

"The king, the minister thought that Fu Ying would be able to enter Wuguan Road to attack Xianyang that year." Chengsuke said loudly, with outstanding ambition.

"You can ...... back then" Xiong Jing was taken aback, "Nanyang is more than 1,300 miles away from Xianyang, and there is a Wuguan ......"

"The king is mistaken." Cheng Jiedao. "This is not the battle of Fuying, this is the battle of the Chu army's westward attack on Xianyang, 100,000 troops marched west along the Wuguan Road, transporting grain and grass from Danshui; Another 100,000 troops were stationed in Wancheng to protect its rear roads. Qi and Wei sent envoys to send troops to Daliang to attack Qin in the north, so that the Qin people had no time to save them.

The Chu army is light, and the land of thousands of miles can be reached in 20 days. Knowing that I attacked Qin, the Qin people either hesitated to advance and retreat, or sent troops to aid Nanyang Jiuying, but I didn't know that our army's westward advance was actually to attack Xianyang. As he knew, the army had entered Fangcheng, and there were 100,000 Chu troops in Wancheng to help; retreat, and you can't rush to Xianyang to save ......"

"100,000 troops in Wancheng to stop the Qin army?" Cheng Jie outlined the entire strategic layout in just a few words. The Chu army was marched into Nanyang County at Fuyi and Magu, and the boat division naturally attacked Nanjun from the Han River, and then went north against the Han River to Linpin (now Junxian Town, Danjiangkou City, Hubei). Linpin is the confluence of Danshui and Hanshui, and the boat arrives here and then goes north to Wuguan Road.

"And my grain is all east of Taihang Mountain, how to transport it to Wuguan Road?" Xiong Jing asked again after thinking about the whole layout.

"Your lord, when our army sends troops in August, we will eat Nanyang, and the corn we cut will be used as military food." Seisuke replied. "An army of 100,000 is guarding Wancheng, and with the power of artillery, it will definitely be able to block the Qin army from moving south."

"100,000 people guarding Wancheng?" Xiong Jing shook his head, "If the Qin army besieges the city with 300,000 people and 50,000 people go south, our army will have no food." ”

"What about absolutely?" Narusuke wasn't worried at all about the grain being copied. "With the help of gunpowder, our army can quickly break through the Wuguan Pass and reach the city of Xianyang. There has been no war in Xianyang for nearly a hundred years, the equipment will be loose, and our army will arrive suddenly, but because of the food, the enemy can also be killed. ”

"It's all in one battle?" What Seisuke describes is almost a Hannibal-like surprise attack, a battle with no rear.

"King, Xianyang is the head of the Qin State, behead it, and Qin will die." Cheng Jie did not admit or deny that this was not his opinion alone, it was the result of Cheng and Dou's analysis together, especially after carefully studying the power of gunpowder to break the city.

"Eighty miles around Xianyang City, 100,000 troops can't surround Xianyang!" Xiong Jing smiled bitterly. "It is not Xianyang who is the head of the Qin State, but Zhao Zheng who is the head of the Qin State. 100,000 troops are in Xianyang, and Zhao Zheng cannot be defeated if the city is broken. ”

"This ......" Xianyang is a heroic city in the world, but if there are 100 tons of gunpowder, it will definitely be able to blow up the Xianyang city wall, but if you blow up Xianyang, you may not be able to capture and kill Zhao Zheng. The 100,000 Chu troops in the huge Xianyang City are simply not enough, not to mention that Zhao Zheng has 30,000 guards, 3,000 guards can break through the thin defense line of the Chu army and flee to Jingyang, Yongcheng, or Liyang, all of which were once the capital of Qin.

"If the King of Qin goes out of Xianyang, he can send cavalry to pursue him." Seisuke only hesitated slightly. "In the coming years, our army has more than 5,000 dragon horses, and 5,000 dragon horse cavalry, and we will be able to kill the King of Qin."

"This matter ......" Xiong Jing summoned Cheng Jie to have a set of rhetoric, but Cheng Jie's plan to attack Qin made him forget what he was going to say just now. He thought for a while before he said: "Xiang Bo wants to lead the division and Qi Wei to gather in Daliang and go north to save Zhao." ”

"The Chu army is only 200,000, and it cannot be divided." Seisuke didn't even think about it, and shook his head again and again.

"If you don't gather with the army of Qi and Wei in Daliang and contain the Qin army, how can you advance west?" Xiong Jing asked.

"If the division wants to go north, it can be, but the divisions of the rest of the counties must not go north." Seisuke finally made a concession.

"Lu Shi is remote, or it can be ......" Xiong Jing did not mention Master Chen, but talked about Lu Shi, which is recognized as a weak teacher.

"King, Lu Di can send 50,000 troops, plus Xiang Shi, there are more than 70,000 people, how can it be a partial division?" Seisuke was unhappy. He wanted to say that Zhao Guo was not worth saving, but he still held back when the words came to his lips.

"Do you think it's too much for a teacher?" Xiong Jing asked rhetorically.

"The minister thought that the partial teacher should be 30,000 people." Cheng Jiedao. "There are more than 20,000 people in the third division of the Xiang family, at most one more division will be added, and the fourth division is enough."

"I only sent 30,000 troops, how many troops did Qi people send troops? How many troops did the Wei people send again? Xiong Jing asked.

"The king is both partial and restrained, and the four divisions are enough." Cheng Jiedao. "Before Qi Wei sent his troops, it was clear that this was not a real battle, but a bluff. Even so, the number of troops sent by our army has nothing to do with Qi Wei. ”

"So there are only twenty-eight divisions left?" According to the establishment, the Chu army has 32 divisions, with a full strength of more than 210,000 people. It's just that some counties are difficult to fill their capacity due to financial and manpower constraints.

"Yes." Seisuke nodded. "The king must not forget that there are many Chu people in the land of Old Ying, and tens of thousands of boat divisions from Xiapu and Jingling into Old Ying, they can summon Chu people to fight, and there will be tens of thousands of people. The minister asked the prince to lead the Yingshi from Xiapu into the old Ying, and the Chu people heard that the king was coming, and they must chop wood as soldiers, unveil the pole as a banner, and gather under the phoenix flag. ”

In Cheng Jie's opinion, if Xiong Jing appeared on the battlefield, the Chu army would have no chance of defeat. The tens of thousands of people he mentioned are actually the above conservative figures, and if they really want to attack Jiuying, there will be no less than 100,000 Chu soldiers gathered. This is also thanks to the Nanjun County Shou Mi Shan, and even more to the Empress Dowager Huayang Zu Mi Thorn. With the two of them there, the conscription and labor in Nanjun were the lightest among the counties of Qin.

Xiong Jing is a Chu person after all, and he has the blood of Chu people in his body. '...... described by Seusuke When the Chu people heard that the king was coming, they would chop wood as soldiers, unveil the pole as a banner, and gather under the phoenix flag' not only made him yearn, but also made him feel agitated.

By this year, the state of Chu had lost its old Ying, and it had been forty-seven years since it moved eastward, and it would be forty-nine years since it moved west to restore Yingna the year after that. Forty-nine years have passed, and the young people who remember it back then are not only dying, but there is not much left, and if they don't fight and wait for these people to die, how many people remember that they are actually Chu people? Zhibisi's infiltration of Jiuying is not unsuccessful, but there are many poor people in Jiuying, and they have no time to admire the heroes of the Chu people except farming or fighting.

Xiong Jing waved Cheng Jie back speechlessly, and then waved Xiang Yan and the others back speechlessly, he wanted to calm down and think about it.
