Chapter 48: Xiang Yan's Conspiracy

After Xiang Yan received the order, he immediately led the Chu army to set off. In order to be in a hurry, he led 100,000 Xiang clan's disciples to set off first, and the remaining 200,000 Chu troops followed.

"Father, the Qin army is very strange, the march is not fast, and at the current time, it has not yet entered the land of Huaishui." During the march, Xiang Chao came to report the military situation.

"This ......" Xiang Yan was surprised, he had always only heard of "the speed of soldiers", but he had never heard of such a slow march, thought about it, and sneered: "I heard that this Wang Jian is good at using soldiers, but that's it." Hmph, it's a great opportunity, I can't miss it. Wang Qian, this time, you wait to lose the battle. ”

The battle to destroy Chu is not so much a military battle as a political battle. According to the strength of the Qin State, it is not a problem to destroy Chu, although it is very difficult. The main problem is whether the Qin State can uproot the power of the Chu family, which requires extraordinary political wisdom and vision, although Xiang Yan has extraordinary military talent, but does not have this kind of vision, naturally he can't see through Wang Qian's intention to slowly march.

Xiang Yan still looked at the problem from a military perspective, he naturally thought that Wang Jian was nothing more than that, and he thought that his chance to win the battle had come.

"Father, how do you do this?" Xiang Chao admired Xiang Yan's father very much, and when he heard the words, he was very excited, and hurriedly asked.

"Wang Jian was not fast in the army, and gave us time, so we rushed to the land of Huaishui and lured Wang Jian in. You think, as soon as we appear, Wang Jian will inevitably send troops to chase after us, and we will lead the Qin army into the ambush and then annihilate it. Xiang Yan was extremely excited.

Xiang Yan fought several battles with the Qin State, but he failed the battle and did not win once. He was particularly unconvinced. I want revenge so much.

That's it. Under the leadership of Xiang Yan, 100,000 soldiers of the Xiang clan rushed to the land of Huaishui day and night.

When Xiang Yan arrived at the land of Huaishui, the Qin army led by Wang Jian had just arrived at the border of Chu, which was slow enough, and Xiang Yan ridiculed again.

"Chao'er, you immediately lead the army to lure the enemy and set up an ambush for your father here." Xiang Yan immediately pointed to a tunnel with open terrain on the map.

"Father. The terrain here is open, and it is not suitable to set up ambushes. Xiang Chao looked at it with a look of surprise.

"You know what? Isn't Qin Yiren's ambush of Xinling Jun in an open place? Xiang Yan was very excited and said: "The terrain here is open, Wang Jian must not have imagined that we will catch Wang Jian off guard." Just go. ”

"No." Xiang Chaoji was excited, and immediately led 10,000 Xiang clan's disciples to the border of Chu.

Xiang Chao rushed to take a look, and saw that the Qin army was camping for dozens of miles, and the people were jubilant and the momentum was shocking. I couldn't help but gasp. Xiang Chaoping saw Qin Jun for the first time in his life, although he had already heard of Qin Jun. Seeing it with his own eyes, he knew that the Qin army was far better than the rumors.

"Hehe, even so, so what?" Xiang Chaoji was proud, and sneered: "With Father here, even if Qin Jun is good again, how can he get Da Chu?" ”

patted the horse's back, stepped forward and roared, "Listen, Qin Jun, Xiang Chao is here, Wang Jian will come and die quickly." ”

"Wang Jian will die quickly!" The 10,000 soldiers of the Xiang clan roared in unison, and the sound was like thunder, piercing through the nine skies.

The news of Xiang Chao's challenge was quickly reported to Wang Qian, but Wang Jian was calm and light-hearted, and he was not angry at all.

The generals were furious and asked for battle: "General, the last general will go to war and capture this arrogant boy in one fell swoop." ”

Wang Jian is resourceful, good at scheming and decisive, and is very loved by the Qin army, Xiang Chao verbally insulted Wang Jian and asked Wang Jian to come out and die, which made the generals unacceptable, and vowed to vent their anger for Wang Qian.

"No need, if he wants to make trouble, let him make trouble." Wang Jian disagreed.

"General, can you bear this? That arrogant boy keeps telling you to go out and die. "Youqin will be straightforward and fast-mouthed, and directly expose it.

"Yes, General, this must not be tolerated." The generals echoed in unison.

"Do you know why Xiang Chao came here?" Wang Yan's eyes flashed, and he said coldly: "This is Xiang Yan's plan to lure the enemy, don't you understand?" Xiang Chao wants to provoke me, I will lead the army to chase and kill, and he can lure the army of Great Qin to Yan Xiang's ambush. ”

"This ...... Impossible. The generals were not convinced.

"First, Xiang Chao is Xiang Yan's eldest son, Xiang Yan loves him very much, challenging such a dangerous thing, if there is no major plan, how can Xiang Chao come here?" Wang Jian relieved the doubts of the generals and said: "Second, since Shang Jun changed the law, Great Qin has pressed the Chu State for hundreds of years, in these hundreds of years, has the Chu State ever challenged?" No! ”

Since the rise of the Qin State, the Qin State has pressed the Chu State to fight, and the Chu State has been terrified, and it has always been that when the Qin army is coming, it is necessary to flee, who dares to come to challenge? Xiang Chao came to challenge this time, which is not normal in itself.

"Third, take a closer look, the Xiang clan has all the cavalry, and the Chu State uses more chariots, although Xiang Yan has a good eye and does not use many chariots, but it is not to the point of using all cavalry." Wang Jian said another reason, and said: "Moreover, the horse's hoof imprints of these cavalry are not deep into the ground, which means that these cavalry are all lightly armed. Why travel light, so you can escape. ”

Wang Jian is worthy of being the "God of War", and his vision is extremely good, and from some details, it can be judged that Xiang Chao is here to lure the enemy.

The generals opened their mouths wide, thought about it carefully, and had to be convinced, and praised in unison: "General Gao Jian." ”

"General, since you have seen through Xiang Yan's tricks, it will be much easier for us to send troops immediately and annihilate the Xiang family's soldiers." There is Qin General busy coming up with ideas.

"Yes. Such an opportunity must not be missed. The generals echoed in unison, all excited.

Xiang Yan is the pillar of Chu and the anti-Qin iron, if Xiang Yan is killed, it will be of great benefit to Qin, who can not be excited?

"No." This is obviously a beautiful thing, but Wang Jian categorically vetoed it.

"General, why?" The generals don't understand.

"Don't ask why, I won't say." Wang Jian didn't have the heart to relieve the doubts of the generals, because this involved the strategy of the Qin State to destroy Chu this time, and the less people knew, the better.

It is definitely a good opportunity to kill Xiang Yan at the moment, however, it is too short-sighted, and it will make it impossible for the Qin State to uproot the family power of the Chu State. Because Xiang Yan is a hardcore anti-Qin, he will do his best to mobilize all the troops he can muster. Dealing with the Qin State. This is exactly what Qin Guo wants.

What the Qin State wanted was to concentrate all the resistance forces of the Chu State in the land of Huaishui. Then it will be annihilated with one blow, and the future troubles will be eliminated forever. If Xiang Yan is killed, there will be no one to preside over this matter, and the resistance forces of the Chu State will be scattered everywhere, and it will be very troublesome for the Qin State to encircle and suppress it.

Therefore, it is a wise decision to leave Wang Xiangyan for the time being.

"The order was given, and the army marched in battle formation, with grain and grass in the middle." Wang Jian raised his eyebrows. Like an unsheathed sword, he commanded loudly.

"This ......" guards the grain and grass in the middle and advances in battle formation, which is very rare, and the generals are puzzled and have to carry it out.

Soon, the Qin army drove out of the camp in battle formation, covering an area of dozens of miles, and the noise was earth-shattering, and the ground was trembling.

"The Qin army is here!"

"The Qin army has a plan!"

As soon as the Xiang clan's soldiers saw that the Qin army moved. couldn't help but be overjoyed, thinking that the Qin army had been tricked. As long as the Qin army is in the middle of the plan. will be led by the nose, will be lured into Xiang Yan's ambush circle, and the Xiang family's disciples will be able to defeat the Qin army and show their faces greatly.

Xiang Chao looked at it and almost fell off the horse.

The 300,000 Qin troops marched in battle formation, how amazing it was, could Xiang Chao not be surprised?

"This ...... Isn't it to seduce a part? How did you come here? Xiang Chao was depressed.

300,000 Qin troops marched together, not to mention that Xiang Chao's 10,000 Xiang soldiers were 100,000 soldiers in Xiang Yan's hands, and it was useless, not enough for the Qin army to kill.

According to Xiang Yan's plan, it was to lead out a part of the Qin army and annihilate it, and the 300,000 Qin army came, and Xiang Chao had no choice but to turn the horse's head and say, "Go!" ”

"Well, I'm calling for a battle as I walk, I don't believe that the Qin army won't come." Xiang Chao is still dreaming.

Under the leadership of Xiang Chao, 10,000 of Xiang's disciples tried their best to insult and insult the Qin army. However, their efforts were in vain, and the Qin army came, but not a part, but all 300,000 Qin troops.

300,000 Qin troops, the 100,000 Xiang soldiers in Xiang Yan's hands can't eat it no matter what, and Xiang Chao can't be depressed.

Under the command of Wang Qian, the Qin army pursued Xiang Chao forward, not in a hurry, and marched at a normal marching speed, no matter how much Xiang Chao called the formation and abused, it was useless, the Qin army was at this speed, and it did not change.

In this way, the Qin army chased Xiang Chao and came to Xiang Yan's ambush place.

"It's coming! Here it comes! Xiang Yan rode on a tall horse, looking at the dusty north, and was very happy.

"The general is smart, the tiger wolf Qin army is fooled, we can kill the tiger wolf Qin army." The soldiers of the Xiang clan were very excited, thinking that they could kill the Qin army.

"Hey, something is wrong." Xiang Yan's face changed greatly, her eyes were round, and she looked surprised.

With his eyes, he could naturally see that the Qin army had come a lot, otherwise, there would never have been such a big movement.

When he could see clearly, Xiang Yan almost fell off the horse.

Looking around, I saw that the Qin army was advancing in a battle formation, and there was no end in sight, and the Qin army coming was not 12,000, nor 780,000, but 300,000.

Xiang Yan ambushed only 90,000 soldiers of the Xiang clan here, plus a total of only 100,000 led by Xiang Chao, if he confronted the 300,000 Qin army, the result did not need to be said, it was Xiang Yan who lost.

If the Qin army did not advance in a battle formation, Xiang Yan might dare to give it a try, but the problem is that the Qin army marched in a battle formation and could enter the battle at any time, and the ambush was useless.

If the ambush is to catch the enemy by surprise, take advantage of the chaos to kill. The Qin army marched in a battle formation, ready to fight at any time, it was impossible to catch the Qin army by surprise, and the ambush was impossible to talk about, Xiang Yan would not be shocked or not.

"Withdraw!" Xiang Yan was also a decisive person, and when he saw that the situation was not right, he immediately ordered a retreat.

"Withdraw? General, why do you want to withdraw? We finally got the opportunity to ambush the tiger wolf Qin army, and we must not miss it. "The soldiers of the Xiang clan are unwilling.

As soon as he heard this, Xiang Yan's nose was almost crooked, if he didn't leave, it would be the Qin army dealing with the Xiang family's soldiers, not Xiang Yan ambushing the Qin army. (To be continued......)
