Chapter Seventy-Six: Assumptions and Expectations
When it comes to Jiangnan, the first thing that comes to mind is the rich land of fish and rice that can be the granary of the world, but unfortunately many places have not yet been developed, and there are few decent cities. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Like Wuxi, which is known as the "Pearl of Taihu Lake", it can be seen from its ancient name Jinkui that this is a cornucopia of important places, south of the Yangtze River in the north of Wuhu, in the eyes of Yu Zhou, like a girl who has not yet bloomed brightly, shy with the original simplicity.
Maybe it's because the time of the unification of Great Qin is still short, or maybe there is a reason why Huiji fell into the hands of Xiang Yu early, Yingzheng did not set up a county governance where this pearl was, only Wang Jian had been hurriedly stationed here when he destroyed Chu.
You must know that the state of Wu was able to break through the capital of Great Chu Yingdu, relying on Wu Zixu's admonition to "establish a city, set up a garrison, and govern the arsenal", listening to this plan, King Wu persuaded the people to build water conservancy, among them, the ancient Jiangnan River used to transport grain and straw was a great contribution, and the water went out of Pingmen to finally meet Guangling, benefiting the millennium and prospering.
This canal, which runs through the Five Lakes and the Yangtze River, is not only the grain route on which the Chu army depends, but also the battlefield and back road prepared by Yu Zhou.
Thinking about defeat before winning, he was right to think so, but it was not the case in Fan Xu's eyes.
A partial army that had planned to take Moling inexplicably retreated without a fight.
After catching so many enemies, I inexplicably let them go again.
The combined forces were ready to engage in battle, and inexplicably began to retreat again, why is this?
What made Fan Hao a little relieved was that the fellow villagers he recommended had been recognized, Yongya, this person was a little stunned, but he didn't say anything about his skills, Yu Xiaozi could leave him behind, multiple helpers and many familiar people, and he was okay with others and in his heart.
It's just that there are fewer soldiers left to defend the city, which makes people a little worried.
"Zi Period, I'm still a little worried, you said that the Qin army didn't come to chase us, what should I do if I rushed to attack the city all at once? There aren't many centaurs on the Yongyan side. ”
Yu Zhou didn't explain his plan to him, and asked with a grin: "When fighting in a group, if you have a chance to knock the stick, do you smash the most ruthless opponent first or the dying opponent first?" ”
"Of course, I'm the one who took the lead!"
"That's right, there is only one chance to sneak attack from the shadows, how can the Qin army waste it in Qu'a Lonely City? Theoretically, the farther away we are, the safer they will be! ”
Fan Hao smiled: "I understand, which means that we are luring away the enemy army for him, right?" ”
Yu Zhou acquiesced, wiping the long sword and waiting quietly, the information fed back by Yan Heng was very important, and some of his subordinates who knew horses pointed out that the hoof prints and feces left by Moling were not like southern horses, but very similar to high-headed horses produced in the Hequ area, and even more, some should be Xiongnu horses......
Hip horses? Hun horses?
How could an unprovoked end appear in Jiangnan? Was it intentional?
If you have a horse, you have to have someone, how difficult it is for a knight to develop, needless to say, after several years of companionship, most of the guys who can get the high horses of the Northland since they were young, are still from the Northland.
After thinking about it, Yu Zhou felt more and more that this was a trace of the Qin people's cavalry, and it was not the emperor who wanted to raise horses in Moling as he thought before.
Counting around the map again, a most suitable Qin army immediately popped out of his head, the Jiuyuan Army.
Damn, that's the elite of Meng Tian's men stationed in the northern frontier, commonly known as the Great Wall Army, how could they meet them? It's a bit of a big game now!
To deal with the cavalry, the battle formation formed by thousands of people is not enough to see at all, the weak poke is broken, no matter how ruthless the crossbow is, it is difficult to change the situation of more fierce and less auspicious, even if it wins, it is a miserable victory, Yu Zhou does not want to fight directly with the Qin army.
What's more, this is Daqin's top combat power, the top cavalry? I'm afraid it's all guys who grew up on horseback, right? The one that kills is easier than eating!
To be honest, Yu Zhou didn't want to face such an opponent until he had to, and it was extremely difficult to deal with it on the one hand, but more importantly, it was a kind of respect for the empire's long-term resistance to foreign races, and it was also from his affirmation of Meng Tian and the Great Wall Legion he led.
If possible, he wished that Meng Tian could stay still for as long as Zhao Tuo, until it was time for the empire to change days and use his strength to foreigners.
This is his extravagant hope, and it is also the best ending he expects from a loyal general like Meng Tian, who is both civil and military.
It's a pity that there are no ifs.
From the moment Yu Zhou got acquainted with Xiang Ji, he was destined to become Meng Tian's enemy, no matter how respectful he was, he could only oppose each other when they first met many years ago, and he could only meet each other immediately like now.
Even...... can only look at it quietly with a little guilt, looking at the ordeal that Zhao Gao is about to bring to this famous general, the story of Qin Hui and Yue Wumu was staged thousands of years in advance......
I can't follow this line of thought, it will affect the fighting spirit and shake the fighting spirit.
Yu Zhou settled down, and began to think about how many people would come to the Jiuyuan Army, and who their leading general was, and after thinking about it for a while, he didn't get anything.
At this time, Yan Heng, who was covered in mud, came back, and as soon as he entered the camp gate, he shook his armor and drank a bag of water bladders fiercely, and then said: "I have already made the preparations you asked me to make." ”
"It's hard work, what's the matter, are you still not used to wearing armor?"
Yan Heng pouted: "You know that my methods are all light kung fu, why do you still pretend to be like this?" It's awkward. ”
"You're afraid that the armor won't be long, right?"
“……”
Yu Zhou looked at his expression and shrunk his knees, he was afraid that Yan Heng, who was annoyed and angry, would jump up and hit him, and hurriedly changed the topic: "Have you found any traces of the Qin army?" What does the secret hand that stayed in Qu'a say? ”
Yan Heng was upset, frowned and said: "A few days ago, I sent people to the upper reaches of the river, as you expected, the few boats docked were really deep, but the Qin people were very vigilant, and no matter how much they were, they couldn't find out."
As for Qu'a's side...... Yongya didn't make any changes to this person. ”
"There is no movement of the fangs? Then keep staring. ”
Yan Heng couldn't figure out why Yu Zhou attached so much importance to a guy who came over, not the kind of attention, but vigilance and vigilance, just like the two pieces of information that Fang just said, it seemed that Yongyan was more important than Qin Jun.
A country ranger, if you don't have to take care of Fan Xu, you will kill it, and you won't have a better way to make him disappear quietly, is it worth working so hard?
"I think it's ......"
"I know what you want to say, don't ask, don't mention it in the future, Yongya this person, I naturally make sense to use him, this thing is rotten in the stomach."
The question came from Yan Heng's curiosity at his age, as well as his unguarded trust in Yu Zhou.
The answer he got made him suddenly understand something, and he glanced at the sky outside with some disappointment, and then looked at Fan Xu's busy figure, the look on Yan Heng's face was very complicated, with envy, regret, unbearability, and even determination.
"I see."
