"The general is smart, Xiang Yan really has an ambush." Looking at the withdrawn Xiang soldiers, the admiration of the Qin generals for Wang Jian spontaneously arose.

Thinking about Xiang Chao's challenge, he verbally insulted Wang Qian, and the generals almost blew their stomachs and wanted to raise troops to chase and kill. If Wang Jian hadn't seen through Xiang Yan's plan, the Qin army would definitely have fallen for the plan, and would have been caught off guard by Xiang Yan, and there would have been a lot of casualties.

"General, give the order quickly, we will catch up and annihilate the Xiang family's soldiers." The Qin generals were very excited, shouting in unison, and some people rolled up their sleeves and rubbed their hands.

Xiang Yan's 100,000 soldiers are in front of him, if the Qin army presses up, not to mention the total annihilation, at least a large part will be killed, this is a heavy blow to Xiang Yan, and the generals will not be excited.

This is a good opportunity at the moment, and it stands to reason that Wang Jian will definitely agree. However, surprisingly, Wang Jian actually vetoed it, saying, "No need. That's how we marched, neither fast nor slow. ”

"General, why do you do this?" The generals shouted in unison, although they admired Wang Jian very much, there was no admiration at this time, and there were Qin generals' eyes that were even more round, bigger than the eyes of a cow, and some people asked loudly.

"Violators, behead!" Wang Jian ordered in a deep voice.

The generals were extremely unwilling, but they had to carry out this order.

With Wang Jianzhi's shrewdness, he would not fail to see that this was a good opportunity to kill the Xiang family's disciples, the question was, what about after killing the Xiang family's Xiang soldiers?

If the Qin army makes a decisive attack, not to mention that all the Xiang clan's soldiers will be annihilated, they will lose at least seventy or eighty thousand. Once he loses seventy or eighty thousand Xiang soldiers, can Xiang Yan still be in charge of the Chu State's military power?

To know. The state of Chu is a big family that controls the government. Once there is no longer the bargaining chip of the Xiang family's disciples. Even if Xiang Yan's military talent is against the sky, he will not be reused by King Chu Kaolie, and will be swallowed by the four great families of Qu Jingzhao and Huang, and there will not even be bones left.

Without Xiang Yan, an anti-Qin die-hard, maybe the successors would ignore the land of Huaishui, but each of them would guard their own fiefdoms, and in this way, Qin's plan to lure the resistance of the state of Chu to the land of Huaishui and annihilate it in one fell swoop would be bankrupt.

If the family guards their fiefdoms, they will rely on the location to deal with the Qin army. Qin's troubles are not small.

Therefore, Wang Jian weighed the pros and cons, and decided to let go of the 100,000 Xiang clan's disciples. As long as the 100,000 Xiang clan's soldiers are still there, Xiang Yan will be able to take charge of the military power of the Chu State, and the resistance of the Chu State will be concentrated in the land of Huaishui, which will be beneficial to the Qin State.

"Not chasing?" Xiang Yan led the Xiang clan's soldiers to escape, but he couldn't help but be surprised when he found that the Qin army did not chase after him.

From a military point of view, the pursuit of Xiang Yan's soldiers is a golden opportunity, and it doesn't take much intelligence to understand this. It's something that everyone understands. However, Wang Jian actually let him go. This made Xiang Yan too unimaginable.

Xiang Yan almost broke her head, but she didn't understand why.

"Whew!" Xiang Chao laughed out loud and sneered: "This Wang Jian is really a waste of fame, such a good opportunity, he actually missed it." ”

"Shut up." Xiang Yan scolded, and said: "Such a simple matter, anyone can understand it, Wang Jian will not break it and not understand, Wang Qian's move must have a deep meaning." But why did he do this? ”

Xiang Yan fell into deep thought, but couldn't think of a reason.

Where did he think that Wang Jian was just to leave him a bargaining chip to continue to be in charge of the military power of Chu State. This requires a clever political vision to understand, Xiang Yan has outstanding military talent, but has no political wisdom, so naturally he can't understand it.

"Wang Qian, no matter what idea you have, this is an opportunity for me, I don't believe it, you won't be fooled." Xiang Yan turned his mind and ordered loudly, "Retreat slowly." ”

He wanted to use this to catch Wang Qian, thinking that Wang Jian would be impatient and would send troops to chase and kill.

However, Xiang Yan was disappointed again, the Qin army did not make any changes, as if the Xiang family's soldiers did not exist, and they were still advancing at the speed of the march, not slowly.

This was enough to surprise Xiang Yan, and what made him even more surprised, the Qin army marched only fifty miles, and under Wang Jian's order, the Qin army began to camp.

"Not leaving?" Xiang Yan was a little unconvinced, her eyes were round, bigger than a cow's eyes.

This night, Xiang Yan was worried and ordered the Xiang family's soldiers to be on strict alert, thinking that the Qin army would come to attack. However, to his surprise, the Qin army did not make any changes, and it was really camped and rested.

The next day, the Qin army, under the command of Wang Qian, still marched fifty miles, and then set up camp and did not leave.

On the one hand, it was like this for four days, and Xiang Yan was so surprised that her eyes almost hit the ground. He has fought all his life, and once he encountered this kind of thing for the first time in his life, he racked his brains but couldn't figure it out.

On the fifth day, Xiang Yan couldn't help it anymore and sent a thousand people to attack the Qin army camp at night. Where would you have thought that as soon as these thousand people approached the Qin army's camp, they were shot and killed by the Qin army's strong crossbows, so they had to retreat.

"Strange things, strange things." The Qin army did not sneak attack, and Xiang Yan wanted to make a surprise attack but had no chance, which made Xiang Yan very puzzled, and he could only call strange things one by one.

Xiang Yan is not a person who gives up easily, he leads the Xiang family's soldiers, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, wanting to see the reaction of the Qin army.

However, the Qin army did not make any abnormal movements, but only advanced at a normal marching pace, and only advanced fifty miles a day before encamping.

"General, why do you have to do this? Seeing that the 100,000 soldiers of the Xiang clan were in front, but we couldn't attack, this was tantamount to a cat sleeping with a salted fish on its pillow, torturing people. General Qin was quite dissatisfied and questioned Wang Qian.

"Enforce military orders." Wang Jian did not relieve their doubts, but coldly reprimanded.

"General, if you continue like this, when will it be a head? Won't we chase to the capital of Chu? General Qin asked.

"We will chase Xiang Yan forward, we will go wherever he goes. If he wants to retreat to the capital of Chu, then let's go to the capital of Chu. Wang Jian frowned, like a sharp sword out of the sheath.

"However, the capital of Chu is too far from the border, if we rush to the capital of Chu. We will run out of food. Grain was brought from Qin. It's too long. It's easy for the Chu army to attack. "There is Qin General worried.

"yes." The generals echoed in unison.

Ying, the capital of Chu, is far away from the border, and if the Qin army really wants to chase Ying, the logistics of the Qin army will be a big problem. The long supply line of more than 1,200 thousand miles will become the first target of the Chu State, which is worrying.

"Don't worry, Xiang Yan won't be retreating anytime soon." A smile crossed the corner of Wang Qian's mouth.

"Why?" The generals were puzzled.

Wang Jian did not answer the generals' questions.

Soon, the answer to this question was found.

"Father, that's fine. We will lead the Qin army by the nose and lure the Qin army into the hinterland of Great Chu, and Da Chu will attack the grain and grass of the Qin army again, so as not to worry that the Qin army will not break. Xiang Chao rode on the horse, very proud, and gave Xiang Yan ideas.

"You want to be beautiful!" Xiang Yan said in a deep voice, her eyes flashing fiercely, full of hatred: "This Wang Jian is so ruthless." ”

"Father, why do you say that?" The item is oversized and puzzled. Said: "Lure the Qin army into the hinterland of Great Chu, and then cut off the grain route of the Qin army." That's a clever idea. ”

"Brilliant plan, wonderful fart!" Xiang Yan's face sank like water, and he shouted in a deep voice: "We are Shouchun behind us." Shouchun is the center of the Huaishui Land, if we abandon it, once the Qin army captures Shouchun, it will capture the Huaishui Land. With the richness of the land of Huaishui, the Qin army is still worried about the lack of food and grass? ”

The land of Huaishui is the shape of the Chu State, where there are fertile and fertile fields, and it is very rich. If the Qin army occupies the land of Huaishui, the Qin army will no longer have to worry about grain and grass.

If you want to occupy the land of Huaishui, you only need to occupy Shouchun, because Shouchun is the central city of the land of Huaishui. Although it was once destroyed by Wang Qian, it has been restored and is still prosperous.

"This ......" Xiang Chao's face changed greatly, he thought that the trick of luring the enemy was just a stinky move.

"Besides, if you lose Shouchun and the land of Huaishui, will the Xiang clan still be able to gain a foothold in Dachu?" Xiang Yan's face was gloomy, and he said gloomily: "Qu Jingzhao and Huang Si Clan have been waiting for an opportunity to deal with my Xiang clan for a long time, if there is such a defeat, they will not attack it in groups, and my Xiang clan will be in danger of extinction." ”

The five great families of Chu use each other, intrigue and fight, and they can fight to the death. Don't give them a chance, or they'll attack them en masse.

If Xiang Yan loses Shouchun and the land of Huaishui, it will give Qu Jingzhao and the Huang four clans a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and they will definitely attack them in groups, destroy the Xiang clan, and carve up the Xiang clan's forces.

Moreover, it is justified to destroy the Xiang clan, and the four great families can act under the banner of asking for guilt. At that time, the Xiang clan will inevitably be exterminated.

"Phew!" Xiang Chao broke out in a cold sweat, inhaled cool air, and his face changed greatly.

"Father, how is this good?" Xiang Chao ran out of ideas.

"The 200,000 troops of the national government have arrived, and we will camp on the spot and never take a step back." Xiang Yan said in a deep voice, his face was gloomy, as if someone had borrowed his silver and returned his chaff.

If you look at it from the heart, Xiang Yan is definitely unwilling to confront Wang Jian here at this time, but he is Shouchun behind him, and he can't retreat anymore, so he can only set up camp.

In this way, the 300,000 Chu army camped on the spot.

"Xiang Yan, aren't you running away? Very good, very good! Wang Jian looked at the camp of the Chu army, a smile appeared on his face, and said, "Set up camp on the spot." ”

"General, why should we camp? As long as you give an order, we will attack, break through the Chu army camp in one fell swoop, and capture Xiang Yan alive. The Qin generals shouted loudly.

"If you want to kill Xiang Yan, why wait until now." Wang Jian finally revealed some tone and said, "Execute military orders." ”

Wang Jian didn't reveal much, and finally let the generals understand that Wang Jian must have a major plan by doing this, and no one has any objections and goes to carry out the military order.

In this way, the Qin army also set up camp and confronted the Chu army.

"Order: Hold the camp and do not go to battle. The state of Chu challenged, and shot back with a strong bow and crossbow. Violators, chop! After setting up the camp, Wang Jian passed down another general order.

After several days of confrontation, Xiang Yan couldn't bear it anymore and sent troops to challenge, but was shot back by the Qin army's strong bow and crossbow.

This has been the case for several challenges in a row.

In this way, in a blink of an eye, half a month has passed, Xiang Yan is surprised, he didn't dare to retreat, he couldn't help but fight, and he was miserable. (To be continued......)
