Chapter 14 Confession

"Great, King's disease...... Sick? "Chen Yingzheng is sleeping in Mingtang, and the Wei envoy who still hasn't seen the king of Chu when he waits until Yan is this sentence. He looked at Yang Wenjun, then at Xiang Yan, and finally at Yin Yuli, a doctor who was also a witch and a doctor, looking very helpless. Daliang was waiting for the king of Chu to drive, but he was sick here.

"Can you ask the king to move to the beam, if there is a doctor with excellent medical skills in the beam, I will ask the widow to heal the king." Wei envoy said.

"Does Wei Envoy think that my Chu State medical skills are not good?" He sneered, he was a man who knew what bacteria were.

"I don't dare to think so." Wei Envoy knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he could only make amends. "Then the widow is ...... The war period is approaching, Chu is a big country in the world, how can it lose its trust in the world? Yang Wenjun, this matter is also related to the Qin State, if it is delayed, the Qin State will also ......"

The Wei envoy finally found a valid reason, the war period is imminent, the state of Chu cannot lose its trust in the world, if it has been stopped in Chen County, then how to fight the water war agreed with the Qin people? If the Qin people were angry, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Please make Wei a little calm, isn't there still five days left in the water war with the Qin people?" Yang Wenjun smiled harmlessly, since yesterday he knew that the Qin and Wei coalition forces were about to be overwhelmed, how could the king go to Daliang?

"However, it will take three days for Chen County to get to Daliang." Wei Envoy stretched out three fingers. "One day of rest before the war is only one day."

"One day at a time." Yang Wenjun said, "Just ask the Wei envoy to stay in Chen Ying for a while." ”

Yang Wenjun said that, and the Wei envoy left. He had been gone for less than a quarter of an hour, Xiong Jing came out of the bedroom, Yang Wenjun, Xiang Yan and others immediately saluted, and after a while, Li He of the War Department, who knew the other division, and the generals of the boat division such as Hongqi and Ou Tuo also came.

When the unrelated person stepped back, a white silk with a map on it hung on the wall. The two countries of Han and Wei on the map are like butterflies that have been slashed, only the back half is left, and South Korea is just a large spot on the upper edge of the left wing. The upper end of the wings is almost neat, the lower end is concave in the middle, and the edges are also concave inward, which looks like a single word. Chen Ying's position is to the west of the recess in the middle of the wing, less than fifty miles from the left wing (Wei realm), and Yangxia (now Taikang) to the north of Chen Ying happens to be in the most recess in the middle.

The beam is the center of this half of the butterfly, and it is also the remaining nerve center, which is less than a hundred miles north of the Qin realm; To the south, the westernmost is the chasm, to the east is the water of the water, and further east is the Suishui, and the Danshui that intersects with the Surabaya from Ludi in Pengcheng, the four rivers all flow south through the Liang, forming a fan shape of about 60 degrees, directly into the land of the Huai of the Chu State.

Xiong Jing remembered that a strategist at a meeting in the Great Sima Mansion said: If you want to guard Huaishang, you must guard the beam, and if you don't guard the beam, you will guard Shouying. The idea of opening and closing is very much in line with Xiong Jing's appetite, but such a big advance and retreat is not in the interests of everyone: about seventy percent of the population of Chu is in Huaibei, and more than seventy percent of the generals of the Chu army do not agree to abandon Huaibei and retreat to Shouying.

"According to the news, the Qin army has entered Wei." Li He opened his mouth to speak, "Chen Ying is only more than 330 miles away from Daliang, and it can be reached in three days by boat, and five days later is the day of the water battle. Some of the boats are new-style wings, while others are not, and the king is worried that the Wei people will collude with the Qin people to flank our boatmaster. ”

"The ministers are not afraid of the Wei people!" Alto Red looked at each other and said. Honglu said again: "The Wei people's boat division is less than two hundred, even if they conspire with the Qin people, they are not afraid to attack me before and after." ”

"However, there are only thirty-four new wings." Li He doesn't understand water warfare, and Xiang Yan doesn't understand water warfare, so how to fight a water war can only be discussed face-to-face with Hongji, Ou Tuo and others.

"However, my Zhoushi Jiashi hates the Qin people." Red Mo said loudly. "The Qin people are beasts, faithless and unrighteous......"

"I want you to lose a boat, at least a new wing without losing a boat." Xiong Jing had to speak, what he was most worried about was that Qin and Wei captured the Sanpul combat ship and then copied it in large quantities. Although there are some things that the Qin people can't imitate, such as huge iron bolts, black paint stuffed with ship seams, but keels, ribs, and rudders, as long as the Qin people spend effort, they can always be made.

"The minister receives the order, and a new wing will not be lost, and the minister is willing to ...... with his life." Red swore an oath, saying categorically.

"I don't want your life!" Xiong Jing interrupted him. "If any big wing fails, the Qin people can imitate it, and once it is imitated, the consequences are unimaginable. Do you understand? ”

"The minister knows!" Red was sweating profusely, he hadn't thought about it before, and he was terrified when he was reminded of it.

"Tell every boatman with big wings that it must not fall into the hands of the Qin people." Xiong Jing explained: "Also, you are not allowed to drink the water and grain of the Wei people, and the boat master prepares his own ten-day rations; Also, the rivers near the girder are staggered, so don't get lost. If you get lost...... Can the boat officials distinguish between north and south? ”

"......" It is not an easy thing to distinguish between the north and the south, and the red man stammered and did not answer.

"If you can't tell the difference between north and south, then look at the needle, you tell the boat officials that the state of Chu is in the south, and you must not go north." Xiong Jing sighed deeply, many of the boat officials are hereditary, these people can swim and know water warfare, but most of them are illiterate, but fortunately, the compass has been made in the mansion, and these illiterate people can go home as long as they can read the compass.

"The minister knows, the minister knows!" The red man said, and broke out in a cold sweat again.

"There are no more than twenty-five armorers in each ship, and this battle is not allowed: if half of the armorers are killed or wounded, they can retreat from the deck and raise the blade without a fight." Xiong Jing issued another order. "Qin Wei attacked Chu, naturally he wanted to attack Chen Ying, and you should fight to the death in Chen Ying instead of Daliang."

"Respectfully obeyed." Both Red and Alto were ordered.

"What else do you have to explain?" Xiong Jing was angry with the boat officials for not arguing about the north and the south, and forgot what else to explain.

"If the Wei people attack me, the minister thinks that the Wei people should be burned." He reminded. The War Department has two plans, one is to ignore the 3721, and there will be no water war, and the boat division will take advantage of the Wei people's unpreparedness to directly attack the beam; The other is a water war as promised, if the Wei people intervene in the battle, then they will fight the Wei people again.

After discussing the former, he felt that it was inappropriate, and the thousands of armor soldiers of the boat division could not play a role, and he gave the Wei State the truth to attack Chu, so it was better to be vigilant and wait for the Wei people to attack before taking action. Not to kill people, but to burn the granary outside the girder.

"If General Hong can ......" Li looked at Xiong Jing, and before Xiong Jing could react, he said quickly: "...... If you can lead your troops to burn the Qin people's Ao Cang, the Qin people will cut me down, and it will be three years later. ”

"Ridiculous!" Xiong Jing reprimanded. "Ao Cang Heavy Land, how can the Qin people not be equipped? The entire boat master may not be able to burn Ao Cang if he fills it in! ”

"Minister......" Hongji looked at Li and then at Xiong Jing. Yu Dawang, the new big wing can travel 400 miles a day, even to the beam, why can't you go more than 100 miles to the north and burn the Qin people Ao Cang. ”

"Your Excellency, the minister is willing to take up this position." Alto also said. "If the king is worried that the new wing will fall into the hands of the enemy, the minister will lead the old wing to attack him."

"You've been to Aocang?" Xiong Jing asked rhetorically. "Do you know how many defenders there are in Aocang? How to attack it? ”

Ao Cang was the largest granary in the Qin State, located in Ao Shan (now Pi Mountain) in Rongyang. The Qin people attacked the Three Jin Dynasty and the Qi State, and the military rations were distributed in Aocang. According to the information given by Xiong Qi, the corn hoarded here is as high as 42.5 million stones, which is equivalent to 570,000 tons, enough for 1.7 million people to eat for a whole year.

If Aocang is really burned, the Qin army will be paralyzed in a large area, and the entire middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River will not be able to fight on a large scale for at least three years, but the problem is not so simple. Aocang was built on Ao Mountain, and there was no other way except for the Luoshui (now Yiluo River) to connect with the outside world. There are 20,000 Qin troops stationed here in peacetime, even if the big wing warship invades Ao Cang from the water, there are four or five hundred 100,000 stone warehouses in Aocang, how can 2,500 armor soldiers burn? Food is not gasoline, and even if it is, is there no fire prevention?

"There are too few boat masters, it's just a drop in the bucket." Hearing Li Er's strategy, Xiang Yan also thought about it for a while, and then said regretfully.

"Just burn the Wei people's warehouse." Xiong Jing Road. "The Wei people and the Qin people must have controlled the grain supply of the Qin army."

"The minister knows!" Both the king and the general vetoed the plan to burn the warehouse, and the red and Ou Tuo had no choice but to give up.

"If there is nothing else to do, I will leave Chen Ying the day after tomorrow." Xiong Jing admonished, and in the end, he still didn't feel at ease and advised: "Don't let the big wings fall into the hands of the Qin people." ”

Red Mo and Ou Tuo were only the generals of the boat division, and they retired after explaining some things. After they left, Yang Wenjun said: "Dare to ask the king, what should I do?" Do you go to Daliang to see the king of Wei, and if you see the king of Wei, what should you say? ”

"Dazai will leave Chen tomorrow, and on the fourth day, he will go to Daliang, and in addition to accusing the King of Wei, he will also inform the Qin people that they will fight as promised." Li said.

"First to the girder?" Yang Wenjun had an epiphany after being puzzled. "The boat master will go to the girder on the fifth day?"

"Yes, yes." He nodded. This was agreed, and the boat master did not spend the night outside the city of Daliang to prevent the Wei conspiracy.

"If Wei Guozhou attacks me, Yang Qing can go to Baiyi Mansion for temporary refuge. The water battle is outside the city, and the boat master may not be able to connect Yang Qing to the war boat between killings. Xiong Jing explained. Yang Wenjun's trip was dangerous, and if Chu Wei fought, he would become a prisoner.

"The minister thinks that I should enter the palace and ask the King of Wei, why did you attack me with the Qin people?" Yang Wenjun's idea was unexpected, he actually wanted to find the door. "There may be a way to live."

"It's fine." Xiong Jing nodded slowly. He didn't really want to kill Yang Wenjun by the hands of the Wei people, but there was indeed someone who entered the Liang first to stabilize the Wei and Qin people, and this person, Yang Wenjun, who was Dazai, was the most suitable. "If you don't want to, you can change ......"

"No, no substitution." Yang Wenjun stood up, "Nangong said, I will die in Jiuying." ”

Nangong is a person, the yin and yang family of Yingdu. When he was a teenager, he entered Qi and learned the Yin and Yang Technique, and returned to Chu in his old age. Some nobles in Yingdu often ask Nangong for orders. Yang Wenjun Bu once said: Died in Ji Ying.

"The minister retired." Yang Wenjun was indeed not afraid, and he waved Xiong Jing very chicly, and then drifted away.

"Alright, let's talk about this battle again." Xiong Jing said loudly. "There have been a lot of new arrivals in the past few days, don't worry about me, you can talk about it first."
