When Xiong Jing arrived in Wancheng, it was snowing in Wancheng. Thirty Chu army divisions, twelve newly formed divisions, plus the front army of 80,000 Zhao troops, nearly 300,000 troops were assembled on the east bank of Baishui, which inevitably reminded him of last summer.

Last summer, the Chu army was also stationed here, and after receiving the congratulations of the various countries, he led his army to attack Guanzhong and pull out Xianyang. In just over a year, the 100,000 Chu army has become more than 300,000.

"Where is Li Xin?" When he entered the curtain of the Chinese army, his first sentence was to ask Li Xin, and he couldn't wait.

"Your Majesty, Li Xin is still in the north of Lishui." Zhuang Wudi arrived before Xiong Jing.

"No different from before, Li Xin's whole army is waiting to build a bridge in the north of Lishui." Dou Yu Pheasant arrived earlier than Zhuang Wudi. He was the left general, and Sima Shang, who led the 80,000 Zhao army, was the right general. "The river is not sealed, and Li Xin is afraid of our army's decision, so he does not dare to advance."

"The Qin people are timid!" Sima Shang stroked his beard and laughed. He smiled, and the two armies of Chu and Zhao in the tent also laughed, and Pan Wuming said: "The minister thinks that Li Xin will not dare to enter Fangcheng, once he enters Fangcheng, it will be difficult to die, please lead the army to chase the Qin people again!"

The enemy does not dare to fight a decisive battle with him, which is a very morale-boosting thing. Sima Shang's words were responded to by the generals, Xiong Jing also smiled, and he said: "Our army has not yet been assembled, and it is not the time to chase. Li Xin is the best at entering Fangcheng, and if he does not enter Fangcheng, our army will be chased after it is assembled. If the upper reaches of Rushui are not sealed, the army can go straight to Hangu Pass. ”

Fangcheng is also the dividing line between north and south geography, outside Fangcheng is north, and inside Fangcheng is south. The dumb mouth in the northeast corner of Fangcheng is called the tuyere. It is windy all year round, hail in summer, and frost in winter. Whenever the river outside Fangcheng freezes, it will always be warm in Fangcheng for more than ten days or even half a month. The upper reaches of Rushui, which flows into the Huai River, are just south of Xiangcheng City, and if this water does not freeze, the junction of Qin and Wei is cleared of siltation, and the army can indeed chase all the way to the outside of Hangu Pass.

The morale was already high, and when they heard that the Qin army was going to be driven into Hangu Pass, the generals' eyes all lit up, and they immediately shouted long live, and some even said that they wanted to garrison Luoyang. Sima and the strategists were very embarrassed on one side, if the upper reaches of Rushui could transport grain and grass, the army could drive Li Xin into Hangu Pass, but the combat department did not determine that the Chu army wanted to drive Li Xin there, let alone decide to pull out Luoyang.

Whether the Chu army can pull out Luoyang involves whether the grain and grass can be transported to Luoyang, and it is absolutely impossible to garrison Luoyang. The Fangcheng Chu army was originally going to cooperate with the Shang Yu Chu army and the Hanzhong Chu army. If the Qin army invaded the Chu realm from Shang Yu in a big way, the defenders of Fangcheng would have to quickly support Shang Yu, and if the defenders of Fangcheng went out to garrison Luoyang, it would be difficult to support. The 400,000 Qin troops who expelled Li Xin were more likely to be an offensive pursuit, and the army had to return to Wancheng afterwards.

The king's words made the shogunate elated, and Sima and the strategists did not dare to speak, and they did not express their approval or opposition. Fortunately, Xiong Jing did not forget the combat intentions of the Chu army: "This time, it is enough to drive Li Xin into the letter to Guguan, Wang Jian wants to attack the Qi country, and he must not let it succeed." ”

"King, it's okay if you don't save the Qi people." When it comes to the generals of the Qi State, it is contempt. When I came back from Qi State, the whole army was scolding the Qi people, you must know that I drank too much wine before, and the first one to scold was Qin State.

"The widow has said that if he doesn't save Qi, he won't save Qi." Xiong Jing said very seriously. "The widow is only worried that the Qin people will attack me in the Qi country. Don't save Qi, but to attack Qin, and refuse the Qin people outside Muling Pass. Do you want the Qin people to be outside the Muling Pass? ”

Xiong Jing asked the generals speechless. Everyone doesn't like Qi State, but whether they like it or not, the reality is that once Qi State dies, the Eastern Front will be unstable. It is estimated that 100,000 of the 30 armies that were finally raised will go to defend the Eastern Front. And the state of Qi is not dead, and Muling Pass can almost not be guarded.

"This winter, the Huaishui will not be sealed, and the matter of attacking Qin will be discussed separately." Xiong Jing Road. "Li Xin is outside Fangcheng at this time, and our army should be calm and gather troops. Li Xin enters Fangcheng, the best, if Li Xin does not enter Fangcheng, chase him. ”

"Respectfully obey the order!" There was a shout in the tent.

Summoning the generals into the shogunate was only a strategic intention of the compatriots, especially to inform the whole army that in addition to expelling Li Xin, they were also ready to go to the eastern front to attack Qin. Saving Qi and attacking Qin is essentially the same, but it is not said that the soldiers cannot be mobilized. At least in terms of name, saving Qi is to save people and be altruistic; The attack on Qin has nothing to do with the Qi people at all, this is the Chu State's own rejection of the enemy abroad, and it is self-interest.

Of course, the sergeant does not chew the words, the king said that if you save Qi, you will save Qi, and if you hit Qin, you will attack Qin, whether he is altruistic or self-interested, just fight, anyway, the Qin army is a lot of people, and it is not beaten at all.

The generals all retreated, and only the left general Dou Yu Pheasant, the right general Sima Shang, as well as Dong Yegu, Sima and the strategists were present. At this time, Xiong Jing asked, "What is Wang Qianruo?" Out of Puyang? ”

"Yes. Wang Jian has left Puyang. "Wang Jian out of Puyang is the message of the day before yesterday, Nao Xin is very suspicious that Wang Jian and Li Xin have planned synchronization, Li Xin crossed the water, Wang Jian went out of Puyang, and the time of careful study was on the same day.

"The minister thought that the Qin people were using Li Xin as bait to lure our army here, while Wang Jian quickly attacked Pingyin in order to break the city." Dong Yegu is most concerned about the safety of Qi State, and his judgment is the same as that of Nao Xin.

"Pingyin is a strong city, even if Wang Jian breaks Pingyin, there is no baggage, and Linzi cannot be broken." Sima Shangdao. "Now the river is frozen, and the servants and cattle levied by the Qin army are all in Zhaodi."

"This ......" Wang Qian's movements are really incomprehensible.

"Wang Qian's 300,000 army is out of Puyang?" Xiong Jing asked.

"Definitely." Nao channel. "The army out of Puyang is only 150,000."

"One hundred and fifty thousand?" Xiong Jing smiled a little. "How will the king's army attack the city?" Thinking that there was still a cavalry in the Qin State, he asked again: "Where is the Yufen cavalry?" Out of Puyang? ”

"Not all out." Naoxin's answer was even more puzzling.

"Not all out?! So what's the struggle? "My own boy became the general of the cavalry of the Qin State, and Xiong Jingmei wanted to laugh every time she thought of it. He remembered the shaft, the tall and thin man.

"Yu Fen led 7,000 horsemen to follow Wang Jian out of Puyang." Nao channel. "There are still more than 30,000 horsemen riding in the Puyang camp."

"Really?" The 150,000 army came out of Puyang, but the cavalry only had 7,000 horsemen, and Xiong Jing was very puzzled.

"Definitely. Zhao Dili crossed the river and sent many of them to Puyang, and the boys who fed the horses in the camp had counted the number of weeds that were brought into the camp every day, and there were indeed 35,000. Nao Xin said with certainty, let's say and hand over a telegram. This news has just arrived today, in order to confirm how many cavalry followed Wang Jian out of Puyang.

"Wang Jian only has 150,000 foot soldiers, 7,000 Qi soldiers marching eastward, and 300,000 Qi troops are guarding the city, so there is no danger." Sima Shangdao.

"I'm afraid that the Qi people will kill themselves...... Xiong Jing was not as relieved as Sima Shang, he turned to Nao Xin: "Tell the Qi people, Wang Jian will be deceitful, and you must not go out of the city to fight." ”
