Episode 35 Qin Jun's plan
Just as the construction of the Tanzan Railway was in full swing, in the Qin army camp outside Changshan City, several Qin generals were gathering together to discuss military affairs at this time, and one of the sturdy Qin generals wearing a yellow scarf was complaining to Marshal Wuhuan at the main table with an excited face.
"Dashuai! Why did General He and General Guo lead their respective corps to Fancheng? It was more than two or three thousand miles away from the main forces of Yan and Zhao's armies, where did the army go? Why didn't we directly attack Changshan City? We have been here for more than two months, and we have not yet settled the account of the last battle with the Blue Star Kingdom, and now we are going to withdraw our troops? ! Why is this?" This Qin general's surname is Mo, he has thick eyebrows and big eyes, a tiger's back and a bear's waist, his eyes show a fierce light, and he has a strong evil aura all over his body, and he knows that he is a murderer at a glance.
One of them, General Guo, who had been sent away, also asked with dissatisfaction: "Yes, Wu Shuai, after General An was killed, the morale of our army has been sluggish, and it has always been that others are afraid of us, and there is no such thing that we are afraid of others. But in the past two months, more than 100,000 of our army have been closed and have not launched a single attack on Changshan City, why is this? Could it be that we are really afraid of the rats of Yan Zhao Lanxing? Can we just keep waiting? When will the dream of the king of dominating Dongyan Continent come true?
Hearing this, another general surnamed He, who was also ordered to be dispatched, did not speak, but the expression on his face was a little unhappy.
At this time, another black-robed Qin general next to Wu Huan opened his mouth and reproached: "Guo Jia, Modi, why do you two talk to the marshal like this! How should you command the battle and dispatch troops, do you still want the two of you to decide?"
This Qin general's surname is Tian, this person's strength has reached the peak of the early stage of the infant realm, and he is the person with the highest cultivation among all the people present except for Wu Huan. As soon as this person spoke, although Guo and Mo were still a little dissatisfied, they didn't dare to continue to say anything.
Seeing such an attitude of his subordinates, Wu Huan, who had been playing with the jade in his hand, slowly raised his head, and said to Guo and Mo kindly: "Don't be excited, the two generals have never given the order to attack, and they have their own plans." And this time sending two back to Fancheng is definitely not the intention of Ben Shuai alone, these are all orders from the king. ”
Hearing this, all the Qin generals present suddenly turned pale, the majesty of King Qin in their hearts was extremely high, and his order could not be questioned in any way, but they did not expect that King Qin, who had always been eager to expand, would actually issue an order to suspend the attack.
"I think you must have doubts about the king's order. Anyway, now that the big plan is coming, this commander will tell you the next offensive plan of our army, and it doesn't hurt for you to get ready. But before I do that, I would like to ask you, what is your plan for the current situation?"
"What can it be? Of course, it is to attack Changshan City on a large scale, wipe out the last remnants of the two countries of Yan and Zhao, and then kill the Blue Star Country in one fell swoop, and unify the Eastern Yanzhou!" The Qin general Mo Di, who was most excited at the beginning, immediately exclaimed, this idea had obviously been planned in his mind for a long time.
Hearing this, Wu Huan didn't comment, just smiled faintly, shook his head slightly, and then turned to the others and asked, "Well, what else? Who has a better plan?"
Another white-turbaned Qin general, who had not spoken, responded: "Great King, although I think that General Mo's method is direct, it is a little inappropriate. After all, Changshan City is the last fortress of Yan and Zhao, and if this city is lost, the two countries will perish, and in order to maintain their national lives, the two armies of Yan and Zhao will definitely resist with all their might. Our army had tried to defend the city when they first arrived more than two months ago, and it was indeed much stronger than any other city we had encountered before. Moreover, there is also a strong Blue Star Army in this city, and it is extremely difficult for us to successfully take this city and eliminate Yan Zhao. Even if you could, it would be very costly. ”
Hearing this, the Qin general Mo Di who was said to be said suddenly showed a look of displeasure, and Wu Huan's face showed a hint of approval, and asked, "Oh, then I don't know what General Zhu's countermeasures are?"
This Zhu-surnamed Qin's eyes closed slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "My subordinates think that although the two countries of Yan and Zhao are difficult to capture for a while, they are not impossible to destroy, as long as the strong reinforcement Blue Star that they rely on is destroyed, the two countries will inevitably lose help and be isolated, and they will definitely be defeated." Therefore, to deal with Yan and Zhao, the best strategy is to besiege but not attack, and wait for their internal changes. It is best to concentrate on attacking the slightly weaker Blue Star Country and open up the coastal passage facing the eastern part of Dongyanzhou, so that we can attack Yan Zhao in the north and Chu in the south, and the situation will be greatly favorable to our country. ”
Hearing this, Wuhuan nodded, but did not comment on anything. At this time, the black-robed Tian surnamed Qin, who had suppressed Guo and Mo Er General just now, said: "Great marshal, my subordinates also think that General Zhu's plan is good, but it is still a little insufficient, in fact, the Blue Star Country is not as weak as we imagined. You should have felt the battle two months ago, and to tell the truth, ours was indeed defeated, and General An died unjustly. The Blue Star Army can match us with an army of the same number as our Second Legion. If it weren't for Wu Shuai leading us and a few others to help in time, I'm afraid the Second Army would have been wiped out. I didn't expect that the strength of the Infant Realm Monk of the Blue Star Army was so amazing, not counting one-to-many, he could still kill General An in the chaos of the army. It can be seen that the Blue Star Country is by no means easy to take. ”
"What does this mean? Our army lost that day, but we didn't expect that person to exist, as long as we designed to get rid of this person, what else could the Blue Star Army fear?!" The Qin general Guo Jia, who had been dispatched, did not agree with General Tian.
"Hmph, that's just what you think. Do you think that by killing that infant realm powerhouse, you can easily defeat the Blue Star Country? Don't you notice? In that battle, the Blue Star Army invested a lot of weapons that we had never seen before, and each of them was not small, and it was a great threat to us. Although the soldiers in the Blue Star Army are generally not high in cultivation, their condensed combat effectiveness is stronger than that of our army, which is what makes them terrifying. And we are only dealing with a part of the reinforcements it sent, if our army wants to attack the Blue Star Country, they will definitely resist with all their might, although our army is not afraid, but to defeat such a powerful army, I am afraid it is also extremely difficult. The general surnamed Zhu agreed with General Tian very much, although General Tian pointed out the shortcomings of his plan, but he did not think so, but helped him to analyze it to General Guo Jia.
Wu Huan nodded approvingly to the two of them, and asked General Qin surnamed Tian: "Since General Tian thinks that the Blue Star Army is more difficult to gnaw than the Yan and Zhao armies, then what do you think our army should do next?"
General Qin, surnamed Tian, coughed lightly and said, "My subordinates think that the best target for our army at present should be the Chu State. ”
"What?Chu State?!"
"What are you kidding? Isn't Chu our ally?"
"That's not right, isn't it? Even if you want to deal with Chu State, but Chu State is not a soft persimmon, is it more than a little stronger than Yan Zhao and Lan Xing. ”
Hearing the generals' questions, General Tian shook his head and said, "It's not what you think. Over the years, in order to realize the dream of unifying the Eastern Yanzhou, the king signed a cooperation agreement with the state of Chu, which was actually nothing more than a transaction. Only by stabilizing the state of Chu can we let go of the attack on the three kingdoms of Wei, Yan and Zhao and reach the scope of today's territory. And the state of Chu was not idle, they took the opportunity to occupy part of the Wei state and most of the Yue state, and continued to expand in the Nanban region, more than doubling the territory. If we want to realize the dream of the Great King to unify the Eastern Yanzhou, the Chu State must be our enemy, and it is a strong enemy that must be eliminated! Now, the two armies of Yan and Zhao have been defeated by us, and the Blue Star State is only a passive defense. In the eyes of the Chu State, we will definitely continue to march to the north and east, and we will not focus on the south for the time being, so now the main force of the Chu army is not deployed on the Chu-Qin border, and it is the best time to take the opportunity to launch a full-scale attack on the Chu State!"
"The population of Chu is nearly 800 million, the number of monks is as many as seven or eight million, and the Xiuzhen army is even more known as 800,000. But in fact, the state of Chu only looks strong on the surface, but it is extremely weak on the inside. As we all know, the king of Chu is lewd, especially lustful, and arrogant, and he can't tolerate others being stronger than him in his eyes. The Chu dynasty is full of flatterers, but all those who are loyal and outstanding are either framed by traitors or live in seclusion angrily, and the king of Chu does not ask about political affairs, but only enjoys, and the whole court is in a miasma. In addition, the king of Chu has been very happy over the years, constantly going south to conquer and expand his territory, I don't know how much national strength has been consumed, and a few chess pieces in the DPRK and China that we secretly control have constantly given him some breaking attention, making him do many ridiculous things, causing domestic complaints, and all strata are dissatisfied with the royal family. In recent years, there have been a number of aristocratic rebellions. But the king of Chu still insisted on going his own way, and continued to live a life of lust and luxury, but he just relied on the Xiuzhen army in his hands to control the overall situation. It can be seen from this that once there is a strong external force to break the balance of power in the Chu State, the Chu State regime will definitely collapse soon, and now is the best time!"
"Good!
As soon as General Tian finished speaking, without waiting for any reaction from the other Qin generals who had already heard it in a daze, Wu Huan immediately clapped the case and shouted, with a deep look of approval for General Qin surnamed Tian in his eyes.
"General Tian's analysis is good! Very good! Hahaha, it's really a blessing for Daqin to have a good general like you!" Wu Huan said happily.
"That's right, General Tian is right! Chu State is the direction in which we are going to attack at the next step, and now that the king has begun to make the next deployment, this time I dispatched you two generals, He and Guo, to prepare for the next move. You two, as well as General Mo, should really learn from General Tian and General Zhu! I know that you are strong in going into battle to kill the enemy, but the art of war and strategy are still insufficient, and the commander is already old, and the next step to assist the king to continue to expand the territory must be realized by you young generation!"
Hearing Wu Huan's lesson, the Qin generals could only bow their heads and say yes, but they had their own ideas in their hearts.
Soon, the Qin army was secretly mobilized according to Wu Huan's deployment. Under the cover of night, the corps led by the two generals Guo and He quietly withdrew from the base camp of the Qin army and moved quickly to the south. And all this, the Yan and Zhao armies hiding in Changshan City were unaware, but they did not escape the eagle eye of the Blue Star Army's constant vigilance.
