Chapter Nine: The Destruction of the State (I)

After Fusu and Mengwu led their armies south, they joined forces with more than 200,000 troops under Wang Jian in just three days. After exchanging information, the two armies learned that more than 20,000 remnants of Jing Qi's army, and 150,000 remnants of Xiang Yan's 100,000 remnants had abandoned all their baggage and light equipment, and were frantically rushing towards Xinying, the capital of Chu! And Xiang Liang, who fled without a trace on the west bank of Rushui, also escaped south of Rushui, and led more than 100 remnants of Chu Xiang to join Xiang Yan and others!

After discussing with Fusu, Wang Jian and Mengwu, they decided not to relax, and the poor will chase, so the two armies totaled 400,000 people, with banners covering the sun, and the momentum was monstrous, and they pursued the remnants of the Chu army led by Xiang Yan and Jing Qi!

Xiang Yan was shocked when he learned that the Qin army was in hot pursuit, and said to Jing Qi: "Now there are only 50,000 elite soldiers left in the national capital, plus some remnants of our army, I am afraid it will be difficult to hold on in the face of the 400,000 imposing Qin army!" It is better for General Jing to lead the army to retreat to Xinying, and arrive for a while, while Ben Shuai and the dog rush to the hometown of Huaishang Chu to recruit new soldiers in order to fight again! ”

Jing Qi heard that it was good, so Xiang Yan and Xiang Liang led three thousand Chu to ride away from the brigade in the starry night, quickly went north, and went straight to Huaishang! Jing Qi led the brigade to retreat sharply towards Xinying, attracting the attention of the Qin army!

As a result, the Qin and Chu armies fled in battle and hurried towards Xinying. The Chu army was devastated, and within seven days, they were defeated in successive battles, suffered heavy casualties under the defeat and loss all the way, fled countless times, and stumbled back to Xinying!

It's just a pity that the 500,000 soldiers of the Chu army, who were originally majestic and mighty, after this short half month of hard fighting, there are only more than 70,000 people left, and most of them are injured, which is really miserable!

As soon as the Chu army retreated into Xinying, the 400,000 Qin army surrounded it on all sides and surrounded Xinyingcheng without retreating!

For a time, the Qin army camped for dozens of miles outside the city, covering the sun with flags, and the noise was shocking.

******

The Qin army besieged Xinying and did not intend to fight urgently, the army fought fiercely for half a month, annihilating more than 400,000 Chu troops, but they were also exhausted and anxious to rest! So, under the frightened eyes of the Chu people, the Qin army just stayed quietly outside the city to rest for three days, and did not send a single soldier to attack Xinying!

On the morning of this day, the sun was shining, the birds were sounding, and Fusu, who had listened to the sound of the waves in the barracks all night, got up lazily (Xinying was originally Shouchun, now in Anhui County, located on the edge of the Yangtze River), yawned a few times, and shouted: "Get up, change clothes!" ”

The four girls of the fire phoenix, who had already woken up, hurriedly transferred to the inner tent and took out a set of brocade clothes to change into for Fusu. Because of Fusu's special status, and he doesn't like to wear that heavy general's armor, he has always worn civilian clothes on weekdays!

When the four of Huofeng carefully changed their clothes for Fusu, looking at the four women's somewhat thin faces, Fusu suddenly felt a little sad: "Other women and powerful people are all brocade clothes and jade boxes, comfortable and enjoyable, but they followed me to fight in the north and south, and suffered hardships, which really hurt them!" ”

So, Fusu said affectionately: "You guys are a little thin, you must have been very worried when I went out alone last time!" The four girls of the fire phoenix were a little suffocated for a moment when they heard this, and the atmosphere in the tent suddenly became a little sad.

Huofeng nodded, leaned on Fusu's chest with some grievances, and said in a low voice: "Well, Jun Shang and General Li fought alone, and we were not allowed to go together, but we have been worried about Jun Shang in the rear army of General Wang!" I'm worried about whether the king will be frozen and hungry, worried about whether the senior brother can take care of the king, and worried about whether the king can defeat Chu Xiang! Sometimes our sisters really wish to be men too, so that we can always follow the king to dominate the world! ”

Fusu was a little silent for a while when he heard this, and couldn't help but say apologetically: "Actually, you don't have to think like this!" You've done so much for me! I really appreciate you guys! ”

The fourth girl couldn't help but burst into tears when she heard this, and quietly leaned beside Fusu, Su Xue said softly: "Why do you think like this, this is all voluntary by our sisters!" Seeing that the women were a little sad, Fusu suddenly laughed and said, "You said, what did you think in your hearts when Elder Mo asked you to protect me?" Do you think of me as a young naughty, lustful prodigal magnate? ”

Hearing this, Qingluan suddenly pursed his lips and smiled: "Yes, when the elder asked me to come, we were all reluctant!" Now the magnates of various countries don't have a few good things, either mediocre or greedy for money and lustful, we think Gongzi is also such a character! So I was very unhappy in my heart, but the teacher had a life, and I had to do it! ”

Fusu was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help laughing at himself: "God, it seems that my image in your heart before we met was so unbearable!" You're not going to look at me like that now, are you? ”

Lan Shuang suddenly twisted Fusu's right shoulder and laughed in a low voice: "Of course not!" Childe is a hundred, a thousand times better than them! The son is both civil and military, and the text is to build the piano art, and the governance of the country is slightly all-encompassing; Wu Ze is full of wisdom, dominates the world, and is invincible. The prince is also benevolent and virtuous, generous and kind to his subordinates, and takes good care of the people. In time, the monarch must be a generation of saints comparable to Shang Tang and Zhou Wu, and the four of us sisters are really happy to be able to serve and witness history! ”

Fusu laughed when he heard this: "I'm not as good as you say, and I often 'bully' you!" The fourth girl's face suddenly turned red, and Qingluan whispered writhingly: "We are willing to come!" ”

Fusu laughed when he heard this, and laughed so hard that the four girls were red-faced, and suddenly Fusu said earnestly: "You really treat me, and I don't live up to you!" After the end of the battle to destroy Chu this year, I will accompany you to Linzi, one to see the headquarters of my Momen, and the other to ask the elders for marriage, so that he can be merciful and marry you to me! Would you like to? ”

The four girls were surprised and delighted when they heard this, but their faces were tender and they didn't dare to speak out for a while, but the affection and joy revealed from the corners of their eyes and eyebrows couldn't be concealed no matter what! Fusu smiled secretly in his heart: I know that they are a thousand willing, ten thousand hearts!

At this moment, suddenly there was a rumbling drum sound in his ears like thunder rolling up in the flat ground, Fusu was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Why, if you don't speak, if you don't speak, I will take you as if you agree!" As he spoke, Fusu kissed the four girls on the cheek, laughed and went out!

******

When Fusu came to the tent, the generals were basically seated, and Fusu smiled and arched his hands in the salute of the generals, and came to sit down beside Wang Qian!

Wang Jian saw that all the generals had arrived, stroked the long beard under his forehead, and said with a smile: "Our army won many battles the day before yesterday, annihilating more than 400,000 Chu troops, which is the most outstanding record since the Battle of Changping in our Qin State!" The old man believes that if there is such a battle in life, the princes will have no regrets in this life! ”

When the generals heard this, they couldn't help nodding frequently, and Li Xin said excitedly: "Yes, throughout the ages, in addition to the Battle of Changping, there are only battles fought by millions of male soldiers!" I didn't have a chance to catch up in the Battle of Changping, but I was fortunate to participate in this battle to destroy Chu, which is really a blessing for three lives! In the future, when we grow old, we must be very proud and boastful of this tragic and great battle to our children and grandchildren! The generals laughed when they heard this: Yes, as a soldier, it is really a lifelong dream to be able to participate in such a great battle!

Fusu said with a smile: "I still envy the old general Wang, forty years ago in the Battle of Changping, the old general also participated, he has experienced two great battles against millions of male soldiers in his life, I am afraid that the old general cannot be said to be the last one, but it is also unprecedented!" When the generals heard this, they immediately cast their eyes with envy and admiration!

Wang Jian stroked the long beard under his forehead, and said quite proudly: "Wu Anjun has won the award, at that time, the old man was a second lieutenant under General Bai Qi, and he was fortunate to also participate in the Battle of Changping, and the degree of tragedy and tragedy is no worse than this time!" And now the old man personally commanded the battle to destroy Chu, that is, as soon as the war is over, the old man dies immediately, and he has no regrets in this life! The generals couldn't help but nodded with the same feeling: throughout the ages, there have been a few famous generals of a generation like Wang Jian who have made great achievements and can shine in the annals of history, and such brilliant achievements are enough to make any general smile in Jiuquan!

Fusu looked at the generals with a rather fascinated look, and couldn't help but smile and said: "Now that Xinying is surrounded, the huge land of nearly two thousand miles west of Chu has fallen into the pocket of my Qin State!" But I hope that the generals will not be complacent, and they will make persistent efforts to quickly conquer Xinying, so that the state of Chu will perish! ”

Wang Jian nodded and said, "What Wu Anjun said is very true! Although the state of Chu has lost half of its country, it still has a large area of land such as Huaishang and Wuyue old land! If our army attacks Xinying for a long time and does not resist, Xiang Yanneng still regathers an army of hundreds of thousands to help, I am afraid it will be difficult to determine who will die at that time! Therefore, this commander summons all the future today, just to discuss together, how to break through Xinying as soon as possible! ”

Meng Wu thought for a while and said: "Xinying's west, east, and south sides are surrounded by water, which is not conducive to the siege of the large army, and only the north can give full play to the advantages of our army's huge strength, which invisibly weakens the advantage of our army's strength." Therefore, if you want to conquer Xinying as soon as possible, I'm afraid you have to plan well! ”

Wang Jian nodded, but smiled at Fusu: "The old man knows that the king is good at breaking the city, and the strength of the ruined city has been broken by the king in a few days, which is much stronger than the old man!" Now that the new Yingjian City is in front of us, the time is limited, so how about asking the king to give orders on behalf of the old man? ”

Fusu shook his head and said with a smile: "General Wang is the commander of the army, although this gentleman is the supervisor of the army, how dare he trespass, but there are a few foolish opinions, please correct the old generals and generals!" Li Xin smiled: "My talent is limited, and the gentleman pointed out that I am almost the same!" "The generals laughed!

Fusu also smiled, and the tent was a ball of harmony. Fusu lowered his head and thought for a while: "There is still more than a month before the rainy season of the Yangtze River, so it is best for our army to conquer Xinying before the rainy season comes!" Although the time is relatively short, if you plan carefully, you are at least ninety percent sure! Ladies and gentlemen, please see! ”

Fusu walked down the handsome case, came to the sand table in the tent, pointed to Xinying and said to the generals: "Xinying faces the water three times, which is not conducive to the development of the siege war of the large army, which is Xinying's advantage, but it is also its disadvantage!" So close to the river, the foundation of Xinying must be shallow, as the saying goes: the soil floats in the water, in order to facilitate the digging of the road! Our army's first move to break the city is to dig tunnels, especially in the west, south, and east. As long as there is a tunnel that can dig into Xinying City, it will be much easier to break the city! Moreover, there is another use for the tunnel, it is impossible for our army to dig tunnels on a large scale without being discovered by the Chu army, if the Chu people find and destroy it, our army will introduce the Yangtze River water to fill up the abandoned tunnel, so that the foundation of the Xinying city wall can be soaked softer, which is more conducive to our army's siege! ”

Fusu looked at the surrounding terrain again and continued: "Similarly, although the Xinying city wall is strong, due to the foundation, it can't withstand the continuous attack of some heavy siege equipment, if it is continuously attacked for a long time, the city wall will definitely be easy to sit down and crack!" When I was ruining the city a few years ago, I built a large number of trebuchets, and this kind of weapon is the most conducive to attacking the city wall made of solid stone like Xinying! I happened to have the drawings with the army, and I will hand them over to the old general later, and the old general will order the logistics baggage battalion to make them on a large scale! In the same way, Benjun also has some relatively new siege equipment, which also has a miraculous effect on breaking the new Ying, and the old general will arrange it to be manufactured together! ”

Fusu thought for a while, and then said: "Now there are about more than 100,000 Chu troops in Xinying City, which is only one-third of our army, and our army has a great advantage in terms of strength, combat power and initiative, and can make full use of it!" In this gap in the manufacture of siege equipment, take turns to send a large army to attack Xinying, and be sure to disturb the Chu army day and night! In this way, in a few days, it will make the people in Xinying City panic and war-weary, and it will be much easier for our army to break Xinying in the future! ”

The generals couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this: in such a short period of time: Fusu proposed three very effective siege methods, and this ability is really much stronger than all the generals in the tent! Meng Wu couldn't help but admire: "The king's strange plans are repeated, and he can be called a genius in using soldiers!" It seems that General Bai Qi and General Wang Lao have successors, and my Daqin is really talented, God bless me! ”

Fu Su said in his heart: "It's nothing, I'm just taking advantage of the situation and synthesizing some ancient and modern war experiences!" He smiled and said: "General Meng has won the award, Benjun just put forward some general suggestions, if you really want to move seriously, Xinyingcheng has to be handed over to the generals!" Hearing this, the generals rose up and said, "I am willing to listen to the orders of the king!" ”

Fusu, who smiled and talked about everything, couldn't help but exude a kind of leader's lofty temperament and strong self-confidence, so that the generals forgot Wang Jian for a while, and only knew that there was Fusu!

Fusu was stunned for a moment, and smiled at Wang Jian and said: "It seems that this gentleman is a little noisy again, which makes the old general laugh!" Wang Jian shook his head with a smile and said, "No, no!" Princes, after the destruction of Chu, the old man's seventy-year-old body will no longer be able to bear the pain of the war, and he should completely retreat and end up in the forest! But I will have a king in Daqin in the future, and the old man can rest assured, I hope that the generals will be kind to assist him! "Wow!" The crowd will rise up!

Fusu looked at Wang Jian and saw a deep meaning from that deep gaze: knowing that Wang Jian was paving the way for Fusu to be able to grasp military power invisibly with his lofty prestige, the wise Wang Jian naturally understood that as long as there was strong support from the army, the world of Daqin would sooner or later fall into the hands of Fusu! Fusu couldn't help but nod to Wang Jian knowingly!
