Chapter 21: The General Fights

Father of the City.

Meng Tian was discussing combat matters with Ji Ting when Wang Tuo suddenly walked in.

"Big brother has a military report." Wang Tuo said anxiously, "General Li was attacked by the Chu general Xiang Yan on the way to make peace with us, and suffered heavy losses. ”

"How so, what about the casualties? How is General Lee doing now? Ji Ting immediately asked after hearing this.

"According to the report from the spies, General Li was seriously wounded, and only more than 50,000 of the 150,000 people remained." Wang Tuo said with a sad face.

"Is there any news from Xianyang?" Meng Tian asked suddenly.

"Not yet."

"How is the situation on the Chu army's side?" Meng Tian continued to ask.

"The Chu army has about 300,000 people, and there are some injuries."

"Continue to investigate, pay special attention to the movements of the Chu army, strengthen vigilance, and report as soon as there is a situation." Meng Tian gave the order decisively.

"No." Wang Tuo was ordered to go out.

Wang Tuo left Meng Tian and immediately walked to the bookcase to pick up a pen and write, and when he finished writing, he immediately handed it to Meng Shu, who had been standing aside, and said, "Send someone to Xianyang immediately." ”

"No." Mengshu was ordered to go out.

"Big brother, something happened to General Li, so what should we do? We only have 200,000 people in total, General Li has 150,000 with him, and there are 50,000 people around us, and some have been killed and wounded along the way, and now we have less than 50,000 under our command, how can we resist the Chu army? Ji Ting said worriedly.

Meng Tian frowned and said, "Now we are on the passive side, and we can only defend before the king does not send reinforcements." ”

"Hmm!" Ji Ting also nodded in agreement.

While the two were discussing, Meng Wu, who got the news, also hurriedly came to Meng Tian to discuss countermeasures.

"Tian'er, how is this good? , the Chu army is eyeing it again, and originally hoped to make another plan after meeting with General Li, but now that General Li has an accident there, what should we do! When Meng Wu heard that Li Xin's army was defeated, he had no idea for a while.

"Father don't worry too much, although Xiang Yan won, but I don't think the situation will be much better for a while, there shouldn't be any action in a short time, we are still safe now." Meng Tian stood up to soothe his uneasy father.

"So what do we do next?"

"The child has already written to the king, and now the enemy is outnumbered, so I have to wait for the king to send reinforcements."

After dealing with military affairs, everything returned to tranquility, there was no fighting, no bloodshed, Meng Tian walked out of his house, and it was already dark outside.

Standing alone on the city wall and looking up at the stars in the sky, he couldn't help but stretch out his palm to look at his fingers, thinking of Xiao Ling's playful appearance when he pulled the hook.

A sense of melancholy spread in his heart, and in the end he broke his promise, as if he had not fulfilled his promise to Xiao Ling.

I wonder how she's doing? Where is it? Have you protected yourself......

A series of questions began in his heart, if he would rather take Xiao Ling with him at the beginning, then he would not be so uneasy, so longing, so worried.

It has been a few days since he was stationed in the city, and when everyone gathered to discuss countermeasures, Meng Shu walked in, "Report to the general, the palace has sent someone." ”

"Please." After the father and son glanced at each other, Meng Wu gave the order.

I saw a small soldier walk in and salute and said, "General, the king has an order to keep the general in place, and in a few days, General Wang Jian Wang will take over General Li's position." ”

"Got it, go back and get back to life!"

"No."

After the little soldier retreated, Meng Wu asked Meng Tian again, "What does the king mean, it's been several days, and seeing that the Chu army is about to make a move, General Wang hasn't come yet, doesn't it make us tens of thousands of people sit and wait to die?" ”

"Father, don't be impatient, we just need to wait quietly for General Wang to take over as the main general." Meng Tian said.

Wang Jian did arrive in Qi with an army of 600,000 in a few days, but the mighty army of 600,000 arrived in Qi and did not act, although it successfully relieved the crisis of the city father, but the Chu army was outside the camp, and no one could sleep peacefully before it was eliminated.

Feng Tian practiced writing simplified characters in his tent seriously, and Meng Shu, Ji Ting, Zhang Qiang, and Wang Tuo walked in.

"Big brother, what does Wang Jian mean by that old horseman? How many days have we been here, I only know that I have accompanied the soldiers to throw stones and jump long, and the brothers are anxious, and they all come to ask us if we are going to send troops, so as to remind General Wang of the purpose of coming. Zhang Qiang said angrily.

"Yes, Childe, the Chu army keeps challenging General Wang and ignores it, and the brothers are holding their breath!" Mengshu is not angry.

"Big brother, you should have a word!" Seeing that Meng Tian was still writing calmly, Wang Tuo, who had always been the quietest, was also anxious.

Meng Tian put down the brush in his hand at this time, "Where is General Wang, is there any news from my father?" ”

"Yes, the general told us to stay put." Ji Ting replied.

After Wang Jian arrived in Qi, Meng Wu took more than 5,000 people to join him, and Meng Tian and the remaining 4,000 people were still stationed at the city father.

Meng Tian put away the words he had just written, took out a piece of cloth and spread it out, it was a map, he pointed to a location in the south of Qi, and said: "This is located in the south of Qi, within one day, we will secretly rush here." ”

The four of them were stunned by Meng Tian's plan, "Why? Eldest brother? ”

"If my guess is correct, General Wang is using a strategy to confuse the enemy, in fact, he has already deployed everything in secret, the Chu army has challenged him many times, and over time they will definitely transfer, General Wang will definitely take the opportunity to send troops, other places have been occupied by us, and the only place where the Chu army fled is here." Meng Tian analyzed.

"Big brother is really amazing!" Zhang Qiang said with a thumbs up in adoration.

"Pass the order, set off tonight, and conduct secret activities, and the other Chu army will notice our movements." Meng Tian's decisive order.

The four of them were excited to give the order when they got the order.

That night, the Qin army that was originally stationed in the city father suddenly disappeared, and no one knew where they went, but someone in the local area found that there had been wild beasts in the mountains and forests near the city father at night, which lasted all night, so that people did not dare to go out at night.

Xiang Yan, who was stationed in Qi, felt that something was wrong after many unsuccessful provocations, and finally decided to move eastward, just when he was about to pull out the camp and the whole army was on low defense, the Qin army poured out of the city and the Chu army was unprepared, with countless casualties.

Xiang Yan fled to the south of Qi with the remnants, hesitating about the terrain because the Qin army was not prepared in the south, just when the remnants of the Chu army thought that they were out of danger, a group of black-clothed Qin troops in black armor holding the "Meng" flag suddenly appeared in the mountains and forests, and they were caught off guard.

and the army of Wang Jian who came later met and defeated the Chu army, and Xiang Yan, the general of the Chu State, was beheaded by the rebellious army.

Subsequently, the Qin army took advantage of the victory to pursue and captured the king of Chu, so that the state of Chu disappeared from the territory of the Warring States period, and the state of Qin was closer to unification.
