Chapter 4 Stealing the Day

Just when Xiang Liang and others mobilized the Chu army near Shouchun and prepared to cross the river while first eating the 200,000 Qin troops who had been on the other side of the river, it is estimated that Xiang Liang would never have dreamed that the Qin army stationed in the two large camps on the other side of the Huai River had quietly changed people.

Although Jixia School Palace sent news to Xiang Liang, the necklace didn't know that Ji Xian, who was far away in Handan, was actually unable to protect himself at this moment. And in the entire Guanzhong, there are basically Longwei and Black Ice Terrace monitoring both openly and secretly.

The dead soldiers sent to Guanzhong by Ji Sin could not enter Xianyang at all. They could only stay in the barren mountains and mountains, monitoring the road from Xianyang to Hanguguan. Barely enough to collect the information that basically the entire Xianyang people know.

The two armies of Qinglong and Baihu went south, and all the laborers were recruited from the people of Xianyang, and they were all innocent old Qin people. As for the soldiers of the Blue Dragon and the White Tiger Army, it is impossible for them to blend in as easily as Black Iron.

When it was discovered that the Qin army was out of the pass in a big way, Ji Xi sent the dead soldiers who went into the pass to help Xiang Liang monitor the movements of the Qin army, and immediately tried his best to sneak out of Hangu Pass to send the news to Jiujiang. β•”β•—

After all, Xiang Liang can't be the same as the means of communication used by Daqin today, with light white paper, eagles and pigeons. Although the Jixia Academy Palace also has a unique channel, it can obviously only be used at critical times, and it cannot be able to quickly transmit news at any time like the Black Iron Xuanniao Camp.

In the process of going south, the two armies of Qinglong and Baihu sent a large number of scouts to monitor the land around the army for nearly a hundred miles, and those dead soldiers in the Jixia School Palace could not get close to the army at all.

Therefore, when reporting to Xiang Liangyu on the movements of the Qin army's southward march, the news of the Jixia School Palace was obviously slow for a few days.

In many cases, these days or even days can often determine the success or failure of a war, or even the survival of a country. β•”β•—

……

From August 20 to the ninth day of September, the 200,000-strong army of the Blue Dragon Army under the command of Xu Chuang and the White Tiger Army under the command of Du Teng had all reached the north bank of the Huai River opposite the capital of Xinchu. As early as three years ago, Han Xin had already changed the sky in the fourth chapter, and the soldiers under his command were 100,000 and more than 30,000 people marched east along the Huai River to Guangling County (later Yangzhou) in Donghai County.

General Han Xin led the 100,000-strong army from Guangling across the Yangtze River into Jiangdong, the hometown of the Xiang clan, that is, Huiji County.

Two days after Han Xin's army moved eastward, that is, on the eighth day of the ninth month, Feng Zai, who received the news that the Qinglong and White Tiger armies were about to arrive, also led his 100,000 troops and more than 20,000 people to begin to move east along the Huai River.

At the same time, the Xuanwu army of more than 50,000 people and the people of more than 20,000 people of Weng Zhong's department also entered Hengshan County from Nanyang. β•”β•—The whole county of Hengshan is also a city, which is the county of Yi County (later Huangzhou, Hubei). Weng Zhong did not make a detour, but went directly along the eastern foothills of Dabie Mountain to kill Anfeng County in Jiujiang County (southeast of Gushi County, Henan Province).

Hu Hai, Wei Yu and others discussed repeatedly, and thought that now that Chu Xiangyu had colluded with Ziying and Zhao Tuo's South Vietnam, the best way was to concentrate all efforts to eliminate one side first, so that there was no need to worry about the two sides colluding together.

Although the Xuanwu Army led by Weng Zhong only had more than 50,000 people, it could be said to be the most powerful attack and defense force in the world.

Unless Xiang Liang found that the hundreds of thousands of troops of Great Qin were pressing the border, he would not even resist, and directly led the Chu army that had gathered hundreds of thousands to flee in the direction of South Vietnam, but this possibility was too small.

Not to mention that Hu Hai's army this time is actually about the same number as the Chu army, even if the Qin army is more than the Chu army, Hu Hai also believes that Xiang Liang will not leave Jiangdong and Shouchun and go directly to Ziying. β•”β•—

Shouchun and Jiangdong are too important to the Chu State and the Xiang clan.

Therefore, Hu Hai was not worried about Weng Zhong's more than 50,000 people at all, even in the face of more than 100,000 Chu troops, Hu Hai believed that Weng Zhong could win in one battle.

Under the nose of the Chu army, it is obviously unrealistic to carry out a large-scale military mobilization without being discovered by the Chu State.

Therefore, when they first arrived on the north bank of the Huai River, Feng Zheng and Han Xin coincidentally chose a place far away from the Huai River to set up camp.

For more than a month, although the Qin army did not attack, and the Chu army did not want to cross the river, the open and secret battle between the two armies has not stopped for more than a month. β•”β•—

In fact, it was mainly the scouts sent by Xiang Liang to cross the river, Feng Zheng and Han Xin both knew that the capital of Chu was opposite, and Xiang Liang couldn't run, and the emperor also deliberately said that there was no need to send scouts across the river to explore the reality of the Chu army, so the Qin army was actually on the defensive.

For more than a month, scouts on both sides were killed or wounded.

For more than a month, Feng Zai and Han Xin did not move, and Xiang Liang had already figured out the reality of the two armies. gradually stopped making indifferent sacrifices, after all, in the secret battle with the Qin army's scouts, it was always the Chu army that had the upper hand.

It was under such an illusion that after Han Xin left more than a thousand soldiers to raise the smoke as usual and patrol the camp as usual, the 100,000 army quietly left the camp in the dark night, and Xiang Liang didn't know at all.

And when Han Xin was about to leave Surabaya hundreds of miles away from the camp, Feng Zheng also took advantage of the night to move his troops eastward, adopting the same tricks as Han Xin.

The next day, that is, on the ninth day of the ninth month, the two armies of Qinglong and Baihu were also 200,000 people, and they were stationed in the camps left by Feng Zheng and Han Xin respectively. The god unknowingly completed the exchange.

The large-scale movement of soldiers near Shouchun spread for dozens of miles, and Xu Chuang and Du Teng, who had just arrived at the camp of Feng Zai and Han Xin, quickly got the news.

The transfer of the Chu army is obviously about to make a move.

The two gathered together and silently observed for a while, whispered a few words, and then went back to the camp. It seems that the movement of the Chu army on the other side of the river was not taken to heart at all. In the eyes of the Chu army scouts, it seems that the Qin army on the other side of the river has not made any moves at all, and even the basic Jing ring has not increased, everything is as usual.

Of course, if they were able to enter the two camps, they would know that there was already a tense atmosphere before the war.

Xu Chuang and Du Teng actually didn't expect that Xiang Liang would take the initiative to cross the river and attack the Qin army first. They just thought that the Chu army was preparing for the attack of the Qin army that might cross the river, and even the two of them thought that Feng Zheng and Han Xin's secrecy work had not been done well, so that Xiang Liang found out that he would only be like this when the two armies arrived.

After three days like this, the noisy Shouchun gradually quieted down.

On September 14, it should have been a full moon and clouds, but today, the entire land south of the Yangtze River was shrouded in thick darkness, falling into the darkness of not being able to see the five fingers.

Jiujiang County, Xinchu, Quyang City, more than 100 miles east of Shouchun (near Fengyang County, Anhui Province in later generations), fell into darkness for a long time. Inside and outside the entire Quyang City, there is not the slightest light.

If someone can see in the dark at this time, they will find that around the small Quyang City, countless black shadows are densely standing on the bank of the Huai River outside Quyang City, standing or lying.

Suddenly, on the north bank of the Huai River opposite Quyang, a few bright lights suddenly flashed, followed by two consecutive flashes, and then it fell into darkness. If you don't deliberately stare at it, many people will think it's an illusion.

Outside Quyang City, in a large tent that was covered.

A black shadow rushed out of the darkness, knelt down on one knee and clenched his fists into the big tent and whispered, "General, the scouts on the other side have sent a signal. ”

Hearing this sound, the big tent, which had been dead and silent, suddenly opened a crack, and the dim light in the big tent suddenly leaked a bright thin line with the open curtain, and a figure flashed out, and then quickly blocked the curtain.

"Order the children of Jiangdong to get on a boat and cross the river! There are no comparators in the whole army, and there is no forgiveness for killing! ”!!!
