Chapter 71 Adjudication
Xiong Jing's question really confused Huang Xie's question. In this era, the question should be 'how to eat every day' rather than 'how to eat meat every day'. is as bold and generous as Meng Weijun, and his doorman is also called 'eating no fish'. There are a lot of rivers in Qi country, and there are three seas, if you want to come to the fish, you can't go there, and the poor guests have to eat no fish, not to mention the common people in the countryside outside the city?
In the East Palace, Huang Xie thought about how to answer his students. In the upper reaches of Huaishui, go to Chengyang and go to an Anche of Wang Yuan's pawn, and the big secretary ordered Nao to report Xiang Yan's matter to Xiong Yuanyu. Through the flying news, there was no news of Xiang Yan a few days ago, and Chen Shi Sima Chen Beg, who stayed in Chengyang, did not know where Xiang Yan was going with more than 10,000 soldiers and horses.
Anche is the king's special car, its outside is inlaid with gold and silver, carved dragon and painted phoenix, and its interior is divided into two rooms before and after, the front room is the royal room, and the back is the main room. It is more than one meter tall and more than two meters long and wide. Xiong Yuan, who was tired from the journey and had a serious heart disease, was half-lying on the car, but the leather crown was wearing, and he listened to Nao's cunning words and said: "Zi Xie once said that Xiang Yan is a good general of my Chu State, and it must be reasonable if he does not defend the counterattack... Ahem...... Da Sima doesn't have to be too ......"
After saying a word, Xiong Yuan coughed again, and Chang Jiang, who was waiting in a car, hurriedly stroked his chest and rubbed his back, while signaling Nao to retreat.
"The minister knows. Please resign. Nao was sly, and had to retreat. The king traveled thirty miles to Chengyang every day, which took more than twenty days. Because the mobilization order was issued late, even if the king who transferred troops ordered the Dragon Festival to reach the county officials, most of the county officials were in the process of mobilization. This is equivalent to saying that Chengyang will be isolated and helpless within 20 days, and there are only more than 10,000 defenders there, can they hold it?
"Da Sima," Nao's cunning words were finished, Xiong Yuan's words were not finished, "Is Mr. Tang Ji going to Wei State?" ”
Tang He was a native of Wei and was a Wei minister. The "wrath of the Son of Heaven, ambushing millions of corpses, bleeding thousands of miles", and "If the warrior will be angry, ambushing the corpses of two people, bleeding five steps, the world is vegetarian" is his answer to the King of Qin in the Qin Palace. After the death of Wei Wuji, the king of Xinling, he entered Chu to persuade Chu to join the Hezong, with the king of Chu as the commander of the Hezong, and the Hezong defeated the Qin army and frequently attacked Wei.
Doormen are an asset. Dazai Shen Yinyu, Zuotu Zhaoxiao and others also have many customers, but there are few heavyweights like Tang and Lian Po. And with Huang Xie's suggestion, it is one to persuade Zhao Wei to send troops, and it is two to send people into Qin to lobby King Qin to withdraw his troops, neither of which can be sloppy. Among the guests, although Tang He was over seventy years old, he was still the most suitable, so he let him enter Qin through Wei, so Xiong Yuan had this question.
"Your lord, Tang He left the army five days ago, and I think I have entered the Wei State at this time." Tang He set off with the army, and had a drink with the king of Chu five days ago.
"Yes, yes." Xiong Yuan frowned and replied, he was a little confused.
"Please rest in peace for the king, and the minister will retire." Nao looked at Xiong Yuan and sighed secretly, and was about to leave.
"Zi cunning," Xiong Yuan suddenly changed his name instead of his official position, and he gasped, "If the widow moves to the Dao, he must not mourn." ”
"Great King......" Nao's cunning eyes widened, and his eyes were about to split. But he was not a man of letters, so he couldn't say anything consoling.
"Soldiers are big things. If we can't win the battle, Wei Qi will despise me, join forces to attack it, and the state of Chu will be in danger. Xiong Yuan looked at Nao Cunning eagerly, there were too many expectations in his eyes, and it was only when Xiong Jing was mentioned that this expectation dissipated and was replaced by a kind of satisfaction. Jing'er is a talented person and is born to know, but he is young and needs you to protect him until the day of his crowning. ”
"Don't worry, the king swears to protect the eldest son to the day of his crowning." Nao sly, thinking that the king's life was on the verge of death, he was about to cry.
"So...... So ......" Xiong Yuan's purple face smiled, and he wanted to fall asleep before he finished speaking, Chang Jiang quietly covered him with the silk quilt, and retreated from the carriage with Nao Cunning.
Walking into the distance, Nao asked cunningly, "How is the king?" ”
"Yi Yin can't talk about Chengyang." Chang Jiang's face was sad, Xiong Yuan had been serving since he was a child, and he had deep feelings.
"Hey!" Nao slyed his fist smashed on the bronze armor he was riding in, bleeding non-stop but not feeling pain.
"Da Sima, take care!" Zhao Huang, Nao Cunning and others know that they are indeed not as capable and shrewd as Ling Yin Huangxie, but the loyal and patriotic hearts of the ministers are unsurpassed. "This battle is a battle that turns our Chu country into a safe one, and the king does not mourn because he does not want to make the mourning work in the military. The eldest son is young, the country is in turmoil, and he will rely on Da Sima in the future. ”
Chang Jiang also understood the truth of what he said, he just couldn't suppress the grief and anger in his heart.
"Report!" In the distance, a fast horse shouted at him, it was the cavalry who had sent a message.
"What?" Guided by the flag, the rider quickly dismounted and bowed in front of Nao's cunning.
"Report to Da Sima: General Xiang Yan sent a message that the Qin army of 100,000 came out of Jiyi, and has crossed the Huaishui to break Xie Yi and attack me. The general has led his army to Jiyi, and may burn its grain and grass and destroy its baggage......"
As soon as he said that the Qin army was cunning, he was stunned. The king's pawn was only 30,000, and the defenders of Chengyang were less than 50,000.
The rider of "Da Sima ......" found Nao cunning and didn't know whether to reread the news.
"You say, Xiang Yan has gone to Jiyi? How many soldiers did he have, and where did he go at this time? Nao Cunning quickly came to his senses.
"General Xiang Yan went out of the city lightly, but there were only 16,000 soldiers." The rider replied, "I don't know where I am at this time, but the villain only knows that this is a telegram issued on the Shen balcony three days ago when the car was suspended." ”
"When the car was suspended three days ago? Shen balcony? "Signals are all time-to-day, and Xiong Jing even ordered the flight system to add hours. This news was sent by Xiang Yan before he moved to camp overnight, and Shen Balcony - Zhou Xuan's mother and uncle Cheng Feng was sealed in Nanyang Xie Yi, which was destroyed by King Wen of Chu, and one of them avoided Chu and moved to Xinyang, first establishing the capital in Shen Balcony, and then establishing Yi in Xie Yi (Pingchang Pass). Because Xie Yi is the main ferry route, it is still there today, and Shen Balcony has been abandoned for hundreds of years. Of course, none of this is critical, the key thing is: Shen Balcony used to be the Qin Realm. This is equivalent to saying that Xiang Yan's department has arrived in Jiyi.
The lightly armed troops led by Xiang Yan did go to the periphery of Jiyi, but the Qin Realm was tightly controlled, and he did not dare to rashly let the scouts go deep into the Qin Realm, let alone sneak into Jiyi. He could only send light soldiers to guard around, and when he met the living, he would take all the soldiers captive and not let go of a single person. But after a long time, there is no guarantee that nothing will go wrong, at least, the family will not return all night, and with Qin Luzhi's sitting, the head of the family must report to the official.
On the hill, in the unclear monocular mirror, Jiyi is a small city that can't be smaller. 100,000 Qin troops went on the expedition, and the grain and grass could not be put in the city, so they could only be piled up outside the city. In addition to this mountain of military assets, there was also a large area of colorful carts and horses not far from the city, and they were supposed to be merchants in the Qin military market. Gathering here, it is estimated that after the Qin army besieges Chengyang, the military market can realize the goods smuggled by the Qin army, and the second can meet the needs of the soldiers.
After sneaking in the mountains and forests for six or seven days, Jiyi finally appeared in front of him, and a few generals with Lu Lijing looked carefully, and the military rate below could only look at it without Lu Lijing.
"General, the last general will ask for battle, and go down to Jiyi in a battle." Pan Wuming couldn't help it, and Lu Lijing threw it and asked Xiang Yan to fight.
"The last general also asks for battle, please give the general an order to take Jiyi." Chengtong followed.
"No hurry, no hurry." Peng Zong saw that Xiang Yan didn't answer and was still looking at Jiyi a few miles away, so he immediately smiled. "The Qin army must be strictly guarded at night, and it is best to attack the city and pull out the city tomorrow."
"Chenming?" Now it's just a high spring, just into the next spring, the morning is tomorrow morning dawn, there are still more than a dozen hours.
"The soldiers were extremely tired from traveling overnight, and they should have rested overnight...... Peng Zong was still saying, Xiang Yan put down Lu Lijing, and he already knew how to fight in this battle.
"Generals obey orders!" Xiang Yan glanced at the sun slanting in the west, time was urgent, and he didn't want to go back to the military tent to give orders.
"Yuwei!" The generals shouted only for the sake of the order, and all bowed down to accept the order.
"One said: When the car was suspended, Xiang Zhibu hurried to the west of Jiyi, cut off the return route of the Qin army, and beware of the Qin army's cavalry to summon Fuyi. The cavalry of this army was all dispatched by Xiang Zhi. If Jiyi is down, your troops should go west thirty miles to the city of Fuyi, and pull down Fuyi overnight. ”
"The last general respectfully obeys the order!" After days of marching, the soldiers were tired, and Xiang Yan had to hand over the task of taking Fuyi to Xiang Shi.
"One said: At dusk, the Chengtong Department selected 2,000 strong soldiers to go out of Jiyi Avenue, without fanfare, and accompanied the Qin army to Jiyi. The rest remained in the camp. ”
"Respectfully!" Chengtong was also ordered. There are only half divisions, and the number is the smallest, but only 4,000.
"One said: At the time of suspension, Pan Wuming's department sneaked along the forest with the elite of the whole division, and when he reached the forest, he should hurry. Remember not to fight in waves, but to attack Jiyi. and the remnant of thy men remained in the camp. The generals of all divisions must not covet the Qin people's property, wine and meat, violators, beheaded! ”
The military order was quickly issued. In addition to the soldiers left behind, the army of 16,000 people was divided into three routes, one way was broken, one was attacking, and all the way was sneak attacking. The choice of dusk is precisely because the twilight is getting heavier and the eyes are not far away, and the Chu army that is forcing into Jiyi in a grand manner on the Great Avenue may not be noticed by the Qin army.
"The last general respectfully obeys the order!" Pan Wuming shouted at the top of his voice. After that, he bowed out and arranged to go immediately.
There are sixteen hours in a day, and each hour is only ninety minutes. Xiang Zhi and Pan Wuming were the most urgent, and as soon as the two entered the woods where the headquarters was located, they urgently recruited officers to attend the meeting, arranged tasks, and issued orders.
The officers were in a meeting, and the experienced soldiers knew that the battle was imminent, and they either arranged their swords and blades, or ate some rations with water. This is 糗 (qiu), which is similar to the roasted noodles of the later dynasties; But more soldiers took off their leather armor and shirts, and put a piece of brocade silk on their chests, on which they wrote 'Don't dare to go to my hometown (to)', or write 'A hundred soldiers don't dare me', 'Bow and arrow don't dare to come'.
There are witches in all counties and towns, this is the life charm that the family begged for, although life and death are up to the sky, but who does not cherish life?
"The Great Priest blesses!" Everything was packed up, and everyone bowed to the east, silently waiting for the gods' ruling.
