Xiang Dong looked at Qin Gong's expectant face, and asked himself with joy and anxiety: "Xiang Dong, do you have a solution?" Tell the widow about it! He was very regretful and embarrassed to spread his hands: "No." ● The minister has not thought of a way. ”

Qin Gong was not angry after hearing this, and the main general of Xiang Dong, the commander of the Ninth Army, Gao Jing, shouted next to him: "You haven't thought of a way, why are you so confident and decisive?" Didn't you make us happy? ”

After Xiang Dong heard the coach's reprimand, he actually arched his hand and said: "Military marshal!" I know that morale cannot be discharged. How could the Qin army be intimidated by the Wei army? Even the Wei army, which temporarily acted as a metaphor, could not do it. Although he couldn't think of a way, he firmly believed that Qin Jun would definitely think of a way, so he had such confidence and resolutely said what was in his heart. ”

After hearing this, Qin Gong laughed and praised: "Good! This is the general and the morale of the Qin army. General Gao! Don't chastise the eastward. Not only do not punish them, but reward them. Reward Qin Jun for this fearless spirit! As long as we have this spirit, what difficulties and dangers cannot be overcome? Generals, don't you think? ”

Hundreds of generals in the hall hurriedly replied: "Yes!" Lord. ”

After Qin Gong heard the generals' answers, he saw that the morale of the generals was shocked, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face. Just after Qin Gong just smiled, it was this Xiang Dong again, and he arched his hand and said, "Lord! Chen, Jian yì should be discussed one by one, first solve the problem of how to cross the river, and then discuss the next one! ”

When Qin Gong heard this, he was angry, and he was about to get angry, but when he thought that he had just praised him, he immediately came to scold him again, it was inappropriate, so he forcibly suppressed his anger and glared at Xiang Dong.

As soon as the white tiger saw Qin Gong's face, he helped Qin Gong relieve the siege, and pointed to the east and drank: "Young General!" You are the captain of the Lord's personal guard in the past, and you know the rules in the army. How can you be so arrogant? Which general here doesn't know how to discuss one by one? Such a big truth, do you still need a major general to remind you? Give me a seat and shut up! ”

When Xiang Dong heard this, he realized that he was carried away, and suddenly remembered that his boss just now was also reminding himself, but he didn't listen, so under the doting of the lord, relying on the relationship with the lord, he came to make the lord unable to get off the stage. Thinking of this, a layer of sweat broke out on his back, and after hurriedly giving a military salute to General Bai, he obediently fell silent.

After the white tiger looked at the Dongxun banquet, he said to the generals: "Since the young general has raised the question, let's discuss and discuss how to cross the river first!" In any case, if the question of how 200,000 people cross the river is not resolved, everything else is empty talk. ”

It was the general Ju Wang who took over the words of the white tiger: "General Bai! Crossing the river is indeed a difficult problem to solve. Let's talk about the river first, we can only choose between the five passes from the shore gate to Linjin. The shore gate is too far away and the defense of Linjin is too strict, so it must be abandoned, and there are only three ferries left: Fenyin, Heyang, and Puban. These three ferries were all guarded by 10,000 Wei troops, and as soon as they were attacked, there were surrounding defenders to support them within a day, so it was unrealistic to directly capture the three ferries. The river between these three ferries, although it is one hundred and thirty miles long, is steep on both banks, the riverbed is wide, and the river is turbulent, and there is really no place where the army can assemble and cross the river. From the point of view of the place where the army is assembled, only Shaoliang can really gather 200,000 troops here, and it will not be discovered by the Wei army. However, the Shaoliang River is the widest river between the three ferries, and the riverbed is as wide as six miles. Even in the season when the water is the least, the river is as wide as four miles, and the water is so fast that it takes half an hour to cross the raft with ten people. It takes a fifty-man wooden boat to go back and forth in an hour. Moreover, the largest wooden boat of the Qin army is fifty people. The entire ferry port is equipped with 50 wooden boats, and only 300 can be used at a time to ferry 15,000 people. According to this calculation, it can only be crossed seven times a day, and it will take two days to cross 200,000 people. Together with the necessary supplies and equipment, it will take at least five days to cross the river. ”

As soon as Ju Wang said this, he was interrupted by Pangu. General Pangu frowned and said: "There are more than 10,000 people, boundless, and the screams are shaking the sky, can't the 10,000 defenders of Fenyin see or hear it?" Heyang is only seventy miles away from Shaoliang, and the 20,000 Wei troops are also blind and deaf? And the Great Wall of Wei, which is still in the hands of the Wei army, is only less than five miles away from Shaoliang? May I ask General Ju, how to deal with it? ”

Ju Wang let out a long sigh: "I can't deal with it." As long as a Wei army found that the Qin army had crossed the river, he only needed to send a thousand crossbowmen to stand on the east bank, and he would shoot the three hundred wooden boats against which the Qin army could not defend themselves with arrows and crossbows, as if they wanted to shoot rabbits, and shoot them in the river. ”

Qin Gong asked in disappointment: "Qin Jun can't choose a day when Wei Jun doesn't go out?" ”

The white tiger reminded: "Lord! It's a rainy day. But on a rainy day, the wind and waves are urgent, and the Qin army can't cross the river? It doesn't work at night, and when you get off the river, you will lose your way and let the water drift with the wooden boat to Heyang downstream. ”

The lord was anxious: "This doesn't work, that doesn't work?" Is the river guarded by the Wei army really defended to the point where the water does not leak? ”

"My lord! There was only one time for the Wei army not to notice the Qin army, and for the Qin army to be able to cross the river within a day, and to be able to transport Anyi's supplies back smoothly. Just when Duke Qin and the generals in the hall were sad and disappointed, one of the generals stood up and said to Duke Qin.

After Qin Gong heard this, he jumped up from the seat in surprise. Of course, it was not only Duke Qin who stood up, but also three great generals and many generals. Only Gongsun Yingduan's case, steady and still, but also with a bright triangular eye, staring at the forty-six-year-old lieutenant general Pang Yan, the commander of the Tenth Army, who was speaking.

I saw that this lieutenant general, who was known for his resourcefulness, good at grasping fighters, and resolute and brave, still smiled lightly under the urging of Qin Gong: "This time is the end of midwinter. ”

"Why?" Qin Gong asked urgently. There were no less than dozens of people who followed Qin Gong to ask this question, and there was a buzz for a while.

Pang plagiarized his face and explained in a deep voice: "Only during this time, Wei Jun, like Qin Jun, is in the habitual holiday. It's early, and the vigilance of the Wei army has not completely relaxed. It was late, and before the Qin army finished transporting the supplies, the river water had already begun to melt into ice, and the ice bed on the river could not withstand the crushing of the army. It was impossible to cross the river and transport supplies by boat, only with the help of the freezing of the river, the river water became a smooth way for the Qin army to march, and the Wei army would never have thought of it. ”
