"How can this be true? Yang Zilu, isn't this taking advantage of the fire to rob! Ye Gong listened to Xu Cheng's report, and kicked the low table in front of him with a fierce kick. Tokens, bamboo slips, wooden barrels and other items placed on the low table were scattered all over the place.

Xu Cheng also echoed indignantly: "This Yang Zilu is really like I can't do it if Chu State doesn't negotiate peace with him!" ”

When Ye Gong heard this, his face froze, the murderous aura on his body suddenly dispersed, shook his head slightly, sat down and said, "You are really right!" Alas! The situation is not up to anyone! The situation is not up to anyone! ”

Xu Cheng couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded when he heard Ye Gong's frustrated words.

Ye Gong explained to Xu Cheng: "How many troops do you think it takes to hold the line from Tongbai Mountain to Dabie Mountain?" ”

"Fifty thousand!" Xu Cheng said with some uncertainty that he was born as a boat master and was not proficient in the army. Especially in such a large-scale war, let alone a layman, even if he is a senior general in the army, few people dare to say that they can control the entire battle situation.

When Ye Gong heard this, he shook his head and said, "At least 100,000 people!" ”

"So much!" Xu Cheng was surprised.

Ye Gong nodded, paused and continued: "And it is still under the condition that the Han army does not increase its troops. Now the line of Rushui has become a dead end. The Han army couldn't attack it, and after they lost 20,000 elite troops, they didn't know how long they could protect themselves. In this way, Yang Zilu can calmly transfer troops to the south in Caidi. In addition, 20,000 or 30,000 people can also be transferred from within the Han Kingdom. At that time, even if there were 100,000 people in the Han army opposite, it would not be impossible. ”

Speaking of this, Ye Gong let out a long sigh, and then said: "But this is not the case with my Chu State, the troops are constrained everywhere, and the current situation in Deng Yi (now Xiangfan City) and Yan Ying (now south of Yicheng, Hubei) is not optimistic. According to the latest news, the Qin army has surrounded Deng Yi, and once Deng Yi is captured, then Chu Guo and Needle Yin Gu will really have no way to retreat! Yan Ying is recruiting people to strengthen the city's defenses, and recruiting people to prepare for war while training. Zaiying also had to guard against the Baipu rebellion, and he was also recruiting soldiers, and he had to cross the river to the south at any time to quell the rebellion. Yiling in the west also has to guard against the Pakistani people going south along the Yangtze River, and you know what kind of place Yiling is! Yiling is the location of the ancestral mausoleum of my Chu State, once it is occupied by the Pakistanis, how much impact it will have, do you understand? ”

When Xu Cheng heard this, he could only smile bitterly. Although the current state of Chu is very powerful, the national army now has more than 300,000 troops. But if you look closely, the state of Chu is a thatched hut with leaky wind everywhere, and soldiers must be used everywhere in the southeast, northwest, and north.

Xu Cheng suddenly thought of something, and said excitedly: "Marshal, the last general suddenly remembered, why do we have to defend?" The line between Tongbai Mountain and Dabie Mountain is in our hands, and in such a long place, why don't we send troops to disturb it? In this way, the Han army can be exhausted! ”

Ye Gong smiled bitterly, looked at Xu Cheng and asked, "Why is the Han army so tired?" ”

"Why don't you get tired of running for your life? Once we occupy the city, we can disturb the grain routes of the Han army! Cut off their retreat! Aren't they afraid? Xu Cheng asked puzzled.

Seeing that Xu Cheng still didn't understand, Ye Gong explained: "We occupied a city, what benefits did we get?" Disturbing the grain route, the grain of the Han army was transported through Huaishui, and those who took the land route were sent from the Song State to Yingshui. The grain ships that go through the Huaishui are all big ships with high walls and thick walls, how can they be disturbed? Break the back road of the Han army? Scold! Scold! I'm afraid it's not you who cut off the back road of the Han army, but the Han army that encircled and suppressed you! ”

"Then we can burn and loot on a large scale! Couldn't this attract the Han army to put out fires everywhere? Xu Cheng said unwillingly.

Ye Gong shook his head and said, "What kind of place was that?" It is all the land of my Chu country, if you do what you say, then these people's hearts will belong to Yang Zilu. This is not counting, these people are all citizens of Chu State, but now they are being treated like this, you say, the citizens of Chu State in China, will they be sad to death? At this time, the people's hearts are in turmoil, what kind of consequences do you say? ”

When Xu Cheng heard this, he lowered his head in frustration and said, "The last general...... The end will be incompetent! What does the marshal mean that we can only agree to Yang Zilu? ”

"No!" Ye Gong shook his head, seeing that Xu Cheng was puzzled, he paused and added: "It's not that he doesn't agree, but he doesn't make a decision now, Ben Shuai has to wait for news from Zai Ying." ”

Xu Cheng heard what he said, and understood! Ye Gong is planning to wait and see the situation first, if Chu State can still hold on, then continue to fight with Yang Zilu. Chu couldn't hold it anymore, so he made peace with Yang Zilu.

Xu Cheng saw this issue much more clearly than Ye Gong, and immediately advised: "Marshal, now the Chu State is like a house that leaks everywhere. What you need to do is not to make up for that hole after looking at the size of the hole, but to immediately fill the hole in front of you. Otherwise, it is likely that because of this wait-and-see, the house will reach the point where it can't be made up if you want to! ”

Ye Gong hesitated when he heard this, waved his hand and said, "You go down, this matter has his own opinions!" ”

As soon as Xu Cheng heard it, he knew that Ye Gong couldn't listen to his words, and sighed helplessly in his heart.

Ye Gong didn't know that he was hesitant and made a big mistake, which was a waste of time. The current state of Chu lacks nothing, but lacks time. If there is enough time, the state of Chu can train an army of 300,000. But Ye Gong mistakenly didn't notice the important surname of time. Especially in the current situation, the State of Chu is struggling to support, how can other countries not be ready to move and want to get a piece of the soup in the State of Chu?

Three days later, Zai Ying arrived, but it was not good news.

"I've seen Ling Yin!" The envoy saluted Ye Gongran.

Ye Gong asked a little anxiously, "Did something happen?" Ben Shuai looks at the dust and dust! ”

The envoy said with a tired wry smile: "Ling Yin is like a god, and Baipu is reversed!" They assembled in the chosen place and elected a descendant of the former kingdom of Lu, a man named Wei Kongfu, as the commander of the coalition army. Now there are more than 10,000 barbarian soldiers and twenty-seven tribes large and small in the chosen place! In addition, the Pakistani side is also ready to move, Yiling County has sent someone to deliver the letter, there are sawdust drifting down from the upper stream, I am afraid that the Pakistani people are building ships! ”

When Ye Gong heard this, his face immediately darkened.

The envoy continued: "The king sent me in the hope that Ling Yin would defeat the Han army as soon as possible. If the current situation allows, I hope to send 10,000 or 20,000 people back to the division! ”

Now Ye Gong repents! If it weren't for himself, even if he agreed to Yang Zilu's request and returned to his teacher, he would be able to deter these Xiaoxiao. It won't be the current crisis-ridden situation!
