In Jiangling, Gao Chu was patrolling the city defense surrounded by Xu Jiang and Po Jun. To read the latest chapters of this book, please search on Baidu:

Jiangling is actually the capital of Chu Yingdu, from King Wen of Chu to Gongwei, Jiangling has been the national capital for more than 500 years, the solidity of its city defense is needless to say, the moat surrounding the city is also wide and deep, just by the solidity of the city defense, I am afraid that even Ziling will be dwarfed.

However, in terms of various supporting facilities, Jiangling cannot be compared with Ziling.

Also, the population of Gangneung is less than 50,000, far less than the 300,000 in Ziling.

But in the court of Chu State, there is now such a voice, that Ziling is biased to the east of the Jiangdong, too far away from Bashu, it is difficult to effectively control Bashu, so the capital should be moved to Jiangling, the geographical location of Jiangling is needless to say, the west chokes Bashu, controls Jianghuai in the east, connects Wuling in the south, and looks at the Central Plains in the north, and it is very suitable to be the national capital!

However, compared with the voices that support the relocation of the capital, the voices against the relocation of the capital are even louder, and the reason is clear, a large number of vested interests are impossible to give up the benefits, such as those who have already purchased property in Ziling, if the national capital is moved to Jiangling, then all their previous investment will be wasted, and of course they are not reconciled.

There are also the Gangdong Shi clan, once the capital is moved to Gangneung, they will lose many benefits.

The government and the opposition have discussed a lot, but Xiang Zhuang, the king of Chu, has never expressed his position on this matter, however, ministers like Bai Lixian and Bi Shu can still vaguely guess that Xiang Zhuang is actually in favor of moving the capital, but now the timing and conditions for moving the capital are not ripe, so Xiang Zhuang can not bear it, once the time is ripe in the future, Xiang Zhuang will definitely move the capital.

The broken army said to Gao Chu as he walked: "General, the high ditch of Jiangling City is deep and the grain and grass are sufficient, and the materials for defending the city such as rolling wood, rocks, and fierce fire oil in the city are piled up, and the last general thinks that even if the 500,000 troops of Han and Liang come to attack, we can deal with it calmly, and there is absolutely no problem in holding on for at least half a year." ”

Gao Chu shook his head silently, there is no unbreakable city in this world!

The king had already said that it was impossible for Ziling to send more reinforcements, and everything could only be done on his own!

It's not that Chu has no soldiers, but Chu has no food, there is a way that the army has not moved, the grain and grass go first, and the grain in Taicang is gone, how can you mobilize the army to help? Unless the king is ruthless and raises food in Jingxiang, but in doing so, he is snatching food from the mouths of the Jingxiang clan and the people, and even if he finally guards Jingxiang, most of the people's hearts are lost, and the gains outweigh the losses.

However, 50,000 people alone held on to Gangneung for six months? How easy it is to say, who knows what kind of means the Han Liang army will use after the siege? Flooding? Fire attack? Or just dig the city? Trapped in Jiangling and waiting for the enemy to come to the door, it was too passive, which was not in line with his code of conduct in high school, he had to take the initiative to attack and keep the enemy out of the country. To read the latest chapters of this book, please search on Baidu:

Retreating to Gangneung should be the last choice of desperation and forced to make.

Although Xu Jiang, a staff member, had not been following for a long time, he obviously guessed Gao Chu's inner thoughts, and asked at the moment: "Does the general want to take the initiative to attack and keep the enemy out of the country?" ”

Gao Chu stopped, held the battlement and said, "The king said that attack is the best defense!" ”

After saying this, Gao Chu pulled out his horizontal knife and drew two circles on the head of the city, and said: "According to the information provided by Wumuya, the Han army of 300,000 and the Liang army of 100,000 are approaching Jiangling from the three directions of Shangyong, Wuguan and Wanxian, among which the Liang army is marching at a particularly fast pace, fast is half a month, slow is more than a month, will arrive at Jiangling, I want to eat the Liang army in the direction of Wancheng first!" ”

Po Jun gasped when he heard this, and said awe-inspiringly: "General, the Liang army has 100,000!" ”…,

The broken army can't help but be surprised, although Jing Xiang has increased his troops not long ago, but even after the increase in troops, Jing Xiang's Chu army is only 50,000 people, and only 10,000 veterans of the Tiger Ben Right Battalion can be called elite, with these 50,000 people, I want to eat Peng Yue's 100,000 Liang army, what are you kidding? Peng Yue is not a good stubble, and the 100,000 Liang army is not a native chicken.

"What about a hundred thousand?" Gao Chu said coldly, "In the Battle of Julu back then, didn't the 200,000 elite Qin army also let the 50,000 people of the first king be wiped out?" After saying this, Gao Chu said, "In this world, there is nothing that cannot be done, the key depends on whether you have the guts?" Is there any determination? Is there perseverance?! ”

Xu Jiang pondered for a moment, and suddenly said, "General, maybe there is a real chance!" ”

"Huh?" Gao Chu's eyes suddenly shone brightly, and he looked at Xu Jiang and said, "Tell me your opinion." ”

Xu Jiang raised his right hand and stretched out three more fingers, and said loudly: "In my opinion, our army has three favorable factors: first, whether it is the Han army or the Liang army, it is absolutely impossible to imagine that our army dares to take the initiative to attack with weak forces, and this is what Sun Tzu said in the Art of War, 'surprise and attack unprepared'." ”

"Well, that makes sense." Gao Chu nodded, and said, "What else?" ”

Xu Jiang paused for a moment, and then said: "Secondly, Peng Yue, the king of Liang, is still the original Peng Yue, but the 100,000 Liang army under his command may not be the unstoppable tiger and wolf army ten years ago." ”

"Huh?" Gao Chu frowned and said, "What do you mean by that?" ”

Xu Jiang said: "The Liang army ten years ago can be said to have been killed from the sea of corpses and blood, and it is no exaggeration to say that those 100,000 people are 100,000 tigers fed with human blood, so they are unstoppable!" After saying this, Xu Jiang said again, "However, the Liang army has hardly fought any major battles in the next ten years, and an army that relies on killing to maintain its combat effectiveness has not fought a war for ten years, and has not killed anyone for ten years, how much blood can they still retain?" ”

Gao Chu's eyes suddenly brightened, and what Xu Jiang said seemed to make sense.

The Chu army has a complete military merit reward mechanism, and there is strict military discipline, even if it is a veteran of the three major battalions of the forbidden army, it must also maintain strict training in peacetime, so even if it does not fight for ten years, the Chu army is still an elite division that is brave and good at fighting, but the Liang army is not like this, the Liang army does not have a complete military merit reward system, and the military discipline is also poor!

Ten years of pampered life is enough to erode a man's blood!

Is the current Liang Army really still the roaring tiger and wolf army of the past?

Po Jun suddenly muttered softly: "The current Liang army seems to be really not as good as it was back then, I have a clan brother who was a Qu Chang under General Zhongli, and he took a scout team to fight with a Liang army scout in Meishan, twenty people against thirty Liang soldiers, but they died eight, but Liang Jun died sixteen, I don't know if it was the Liang army ten years ago?" ”

Gao Chu said again: "Regardless of the combat effectiveness of the Liang army, what about the third favorable factor?" ”

Xu Jiang said: "The third favorable factor is the water army, in a few days, General Zhongli's 20,000 water army will be able to rush to Jiangling, with the help of the water army and the Han water channel, our army can detour to the Liang army's flank and intercept its grain road at any time!" ”

Gao Chu fell into a long silence for a while, and only the occasional gleam in his eyes showed that his heart was in a rapid calculation, taking the initiative, or defending Jiangling?

Nanyang County, Wan County.

The army of 100,000 Liang is like locusts raging in the countryside outside Wanxian County, although Wanxian County is the land of Liang, but the people here still have not escaped the looting of the Liang army, where the army passed, cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks and other livestock were all looted, and the grain of every household was also looted, but there was not much killing.

Peng Yue just strictly ordered that he was not allowed to kill people casually, after all, this place was still under the rule of Liang Guo. ..., as for the phenomenon of adultery and plunder, Peng Yue ignored it, he didn't bother to care about it at all, in his opinion, if an army is not captured or plundered, is it still an army? The army should have the appearance of an army, and the soldiers should have a wild and uninhibited wildness, otherwise where will the blood come from and where will the combat effectiveness come from?

What's more, the treasury of Liang State doesn't have much grain in stock, so if you don't rob it, what will the 100,000 army eat?

This is still in Wanxian, or under the rule of Liang State, if it enters Jingxiang, if it enters the rule of Chu State, then the Liang army will not only be captured and plundered, but also burned and killed, the Liang army is the world-famous tiger and wolf division, and the tiger wolf division should have the appearance of the tiger and wolf division, and it will kill the Chu army in fear, and kill Jingxiang Xiaoer who heard the life of the Liang army and did not dare to cry at night.

While the army was marching, Peng Ming, the lieutenant of the Chinese Military Academy, suddenly stepped forward, "Wang, Wancheng County Order asks to see you." ”

"Wancheng County Order?" Peng Yue frowned, a little displeased, "At this time, what is the matter?" ”

The voice fell, and the excited voice of Wancheng County Commander had already sounded over there: "King, now is the time when the green and yellow are not connected, you can't rush the troops to grab the grain, otherwise, the people of Wanxian County will have no way to live, the king, these are all the people of Liang State, but all of them are your people, you can't care about ......."

When Zhao Yanzheng, the accompanying military advisor, was about to say a few words, Peng Yue had already impatiently ordered Peng Mingdao: "Fork down!" ”

"Whoa!" Peng Ming responded suddenly, and then turned around and waved his hand, two pro-soldiers had already stepped forward and couldn't help but say that the Wancheng County Order was set up, and then threw it to the edge of the gallop, Wancheng County Order got up in embarrassment, and when he wanted to shout a few more words, Peng Yue's carriage had already gone away, and only the rolling loess poured into his mouth.

Zhao Yan shook his head when he saw it, a county order that asked for the people's life, King Liang actually treated it like this?

Shen Tujia, the captain of the Guardian Army, also shook his head and sighed in a low voice: "The people of Wanxian County are afraid that they are in trouble. ”

"What's that?" General Liu Kou stepped forward and said nonchalantly, "Although Wanxian County is a big county, there are only thirty or forty thousand people, even if they all starve to death, so what?" ”

Zhao Yan was dumbfounded when he heard this, and suddenly felt extremely strange to Liu Kou.

Zhao Yan and Liu Kou have been officials in the same dynasty for ten years, and I really didn't see it before, Liu Kou was so cold-blooded! A big county, in Liu Kou's eyes, is so worthless? Thirty or forty thousand mouths, in his Liu Kou's eyes, they are as worthless as pigs and dogs? He went so far as to say, even if all the people in a county starved to death, so what?

There is also Peng Yue, the king of Liang, whose cold-blooded tyranny is as strong as Liu Kou's!

Zhao Yan suddenly felt a little dazed, should he really stay in Liang Kingdom? Should he really give advice to a tyrant like Peng Yue, who regards human life as a mustard?
