Chapter 349: The Man Who Broke Chu

Tang Bing and the others lost their souls and left.

Without the support of their disciples and the support of the big clans behind their protégés, they are no different from other old people who are dying and unable to support themselves. And their so-called prestige, in the face of the strict and orderly laws of the Qin State, is like a bubble that bursts at the touch of a button, and cannot withstand the slightest blow.

In the more than ten days that Li Yuan stayed in Shangshan Dao, what he was waiting for was the opportunity for Si Hao to gather all the disciples they could mobilize.

These young people with knowledge are the driving force for the future development of the Qin State.

The Qin army's action on the Shangshan Road was very swift and decisive. Without Sihao's barricade, Li Yuan would not have been able to wipe out all the learned students scattered in the middle of nowhere, living in seclusion in an unknown valley, and these young people with little social experience and education would have been forcibly escorted to the most difficult northwestern border counties of the Qin state, where they would be subjected to the dual tests of nature and reality.

After crossing the Shangshan Road, the amount of water in Luoshui was already able to pass through the big boat, so Li Yuan abandoned the car and boarded the boat, and came to Luoyang, the important city of Sanchuan County on the big river.

After solving the troubles in Sihao, Li Yuan believed that there would be no more people who did not have long eyes to jump out, and those students who followed the troubles were escorted to Hexi, they were the pawns and hostages of the Qin State to restrain the Kwantung clan, even if they were related to the Six Kings family, they would not dare to act rashly.

A family.

After all, it is only by bloodline, and in the same era, there will not be many outstanding children who can be cultivated. Li Yuan's killing move also stunned those who were hiding in the shadows and trying to look good.

If the Qin State accepts Sihao's proposition, the national policy of the Qin State and the foundation of the rule of law will be shaken, and then, the hundred schools of thought will appear, the Qin country will partially fall apart, and the officials with different political views will attack each other and dismantle Taiwan, such a situation is undoubtedly what those who do not want the unification of the Qin State want to see the most.

If the Qin State kills Si Hao and other disciples. If the bloody killing is carried out, many families who have lost their excellent children will have a grudge against the Qin state, and in this way, the rule of the Qin state in the Kanto region will become frivolous, and if the opportunity arises, the beacon fire of rebellion against the tyrannical Qin may burn again.

However, neither of these is happening now.

The people who pinned their hopes on Sihao to make trouble turned their heads and found that the result of this farce was that Qin Guo had seized the handle, and the many hostages also made the disgruntled people jealous.

――。

Luoshui.

The northbound fleet is getting farther and farther away from Shangshan.

Tang Bing, Zhou Shu and other old decayed grief and indignation. No one listens anymore, and after losing the support of wealth, a few retinues who do not obey will gradually disperse, and what awaits them is the end of staying alone in the forest and dying in the mountains and forests.

The tall hazy rush sat inside the ship.

A small meeting on the changes in the Wei State was underway, accompanied by Yan Le, Lu Jia, and Li Zhongxiang, and on the table in front of Li Yuan was the peace negotiation condition of "land for peace" sent by Wei Bao, the king of Wei, to send Yongya.

Yongya's silk Chen was actually delivered to Li Yuan five days ago. Regarding the current crisis in the Wei State, Li Yuan had already obtained accurate information from Yan Le's Military Intelligence Department.

"Wuhou, the first part of the Chu army has already moved to the front line of Chenggao, with the current strength of the Wei army. I'm afraid that I won't be able to hold it for three days, and according to the secret report, Wei Bao is already packing up his wealth, and it is very likely that he will abandon Daliang and run away to Xingyang. "Yan Le is the head of the Military Intelligence Department. The intelligence of the Chu State was collected in detail, and at this time, seeing that Li Yuan was silent for a long time, he admonished.

"Zhong Xiang. Tell me, what will happen to the situation in Wei next? Li Yuan turned his head and asked Li Zhongxiang.

"Wuhou, the area around Xingyang is garrisoned by our army, if Wei Bao flees west, if our army does not accept, then sit back and watch the Chu army annex Wei, and if it is included, it will be the momentum of the war between Qin and Chu." Li Zhongxiang then said: "Once Qin and Chu start a war, the war will be extended, from Jiujiang County on the bank of the Great River to Yan County in the northernmost part, any place will become a battlefield for war, compared to Chu State, the place we need to defend is too vast, in case the Chu army penetrates deep into the hinterland of Kwantung." ”

"General Li is worried that the Chu army will attack our Hedong and Handan counties, don't worry, Wuhou has already expected it, in Luoyang City, Peng Yue, the thief of Juyeze, has decided to defect to our country, when the time comes, there is Peng Yue's back road to contain the Chu army, if Xiang Yu wants to attack my Great Qin, he must consider whether Pengcheng is safe." Yan Le sneered.

The area of Juyeze, close to the junction of Wei, Qin and Chu, is a lake and swamp formed by the flooding of large rivers within a radius of more than 100 miles, which is a natural hiding place for the robbers.

"Send a letter to General Jiang in Luoyang, Ben Hou wants to meet Peng Yue in the county capital." Li Yuan listened to the arguments of Yan Le and Li Zhongxiang, and gently patted the edge of the case, of course he knew the crisis of Wei, but Li Yuan was not interested in Wei Bao's suggestion of "land for peace". Wei was small and weak, and during the period of peace between Qin and Chu, it was able to survive as a neutral state.

But if Qin and Chu turn against each other, Wei will inevitably bear the brunt of the attack, which is a necessary outcome for a small country, and what Qin has to do now is to obtain the greatest benefits in this upheaval.

After the reoccupation of Jiangdong, the territory of Chu expanded a lot, but the number of Chu troops did not grow much, after the failure of Liu Bang's violent tactics, Xiang Yu obviously learned a lesson, and no longer took this road of reckless force.

According to the spying work of the Military Intelligence Department, the total strength of the Chu State is about 70,000 people, excluding the county soldiers guarding the place, the number of troops that can be used for maneuvering is about 50,000 people, of which: Zhong Lifu's Changshan Army has about more than 10,000 people, the cavalry troops belonging to Xiang Ji are about 3,000 people, and there are 10,000 foot soldiers, plus the troops of Xiang Zhuang, Yu Ziqi, Xiang Han and other generals have thousands each, and the real strength of the Chu army is still a step worse than that of the Qin State.

However, the advantage of the Chu State is that it is enough to have a few thousand troops left in the Jiangdong area, and the main force of the Chu army can be concentrated in Chenjun, Dangjun, Qilu and other places at once.

In comparison, the territory of the Qin State is too vast, and on the current border between Qin and Chu, in addition to the Yan land in the north, which has more than 50,000 new soldiers of Han Xinjun, there is only the front line of the Tiger Prison of Sanchuan County, and there are about 20,000 people of the Qin army on the eastern line of the general Jiang Yu, and other directions such as Handan County.

In the suffocating atmosphere of the coming war, Wei Bao, a vain prince, lived and died, except for making people sigh that the world was impermanent, and the former allies would kill each other, there was nothing else.

In contrast, the great thief Peng Yue is much more important, his presence can counterbalance the Chu army's attack on Zhao Di, and at the same time, it will also give the Qin army time to counterattack. (To be continued......)
