"The question is, where and from whom will Lehi, the old general, borrow troops to attack the Xia Kingdom?" Bai Lu frowned and looked at the sand table, "Outside our pass, there are still the last three counties and one state in our hands, and there are 700,000 people who have migrated here. The pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info plus its own permanent residents, but there are no less than two million people. If this war is fought, the damage to the common people in the end will be immeasurable. ”

"If Lehi mobilizes troops from within Chu, then we still have time to move the people, escort them through the pass, and settle in the cities of the pass. ”

Xue Yan nodded, although this strategy is a bit big, but it is the best way to protect the population. If the Chu army outside the pass is not beaten back, then it will inevitably use this as a springboard to encroach on the remaining three counties and one state, and after finally taking the pass, it will concentrate on attacking Zhennan Pass, so that sooner or later, the Chu state will be able to hit the Xia country.

The last resort is to ensure the flow of people from outside the customs into the interior, so that after the Chu State occupies these controlled areas, it will have to face the problem of lack of people and food, and it will be unstable for a while and a half. In this way, Xia would also have enough time to adjust its strategy and counterattack these invading armies of Chu in transit and gradually recapture its own territory.

However, Lehi was absolutely aware of this, and he would not have made such a choice to delay the fighter. Egret said slowly.

Qin Yu looked at the sand table, and suddenly remembered something, and said: "You say, will this Li Hai go to borrow troops from the border army of Chu on the Han side? You must know that this place is not far from the border of the Han State, if the other party bypasses the mountains and descends the Luo River, won't it just be able to reach the edge of the three counties and one state?"

The egret glanced at Qin Yu in surprise, feeling that he had underestimated his own General Qin, and the egret nodded appreciatively, "That's what I want to say." Will Lehi borrow troops from Han Hu and come down the water to support? ”

"Han Hu and Li Hai don't deal with each other, according to the news of the secret guard, the relationship between these two people in the Chu State is very poor, although they are both generals at the border gates, but they often quarrel with each other over how much supplies are needed for the Chu State, and the relationship between the two is also very bad. Xue Yan said slowly, "I remember that the secret guard once reported to me a very interesting thing. This was once in the royal capital of Chu, Han Hu and Li Hai both returned to the royal capital to find the lord of the country to report the situation, but the period happened to collide together. ”

"The convoy of men and horses of the two men and horses arrived at the gate of the royal capital, and as soon as the people on both sides met, they became hostile to each other. Not only that, but the two also began to quarrel in public over the question of who would go to the gate of the royal capital first. The two of them didn't let anyone, and they just blocked the door of the royal capital. As a result, not only these two people could not enter the royal capital, but also the merchants, pedestrians, etc. outside the city gate were blocked at the city gate, and the scene was extremely spectacular. ”

Xue Yan couldn't help but laugh when she said that, "The behavior of the two is very absurd, and in the end, it was the lord of the country who came forward, so he pulled the two into the royal capital together." The contradictions between these two people have intensified to this point, will Li Hai borrow troops from Han Hu?"

"It's hard to say. Egret shook his head, "The relationship in private is a relationship, but the battlefield on the surface is a different situation. Li Hai wanted to attack the thirteen counties and one state outside the southern pass of Xia Guozhen, which was simply expanding the territory of Chu. It's hard for anyone to refuse the temptation of such merit, Han Hu may have a conflict with Lehi, but it's not a matter of not being able to serve customers. ”

With enough profits, humans are even willing to sell their souls.

"Even if it is Han Hu, in the face of the borrowed troops of his old opponent, I think he can and will give it. Bai Lu sighed, "The soldiers are all soldiers of the Chu State, there is no need for Han Hu to hide them." ”

"I'm worried that we don't know when the other party will come, and we may be in a very dangerous situation right now. In case one day Han Hu's officers and soldiers all ran in front of the cities outside the Xia State Pass, if we arrange the arrangement at this time, it will be too late. ”

Of course, Han Hu and Li Hai have a bad relationship. Even if Li Hai could borrow soldiers, Han Hu probably wouldn't have sent people here so resolutely.

However, this will be the white heron also silently muttered in his heart, if the other party does not have many troops, I am afraid that this layout will be in vain.

"Han Hu went down the river, if you want to converge, you can only choose to anchor at the Xiaocaohu section not far from the three counties, the area of this ferry is relatively large, so that the opponent's army can be deployed, and it is not easy to be surrounded and suppressed. The egret gestured to the sand table.

Qin Yu looked at it fixedly, a little dazed.

"This whole area is a small grass lake ferry? It's so big, there's no way to ambush it!"

"In front of the Xiaocao Lake ferry, this is almost a dozen square kilometers of open space, full of dwarf shrubs, and there are no forests or hills to hide. If nothing else, the other party will definitely choose this place to log in. Like you said, it's hard to ambush. Egret nodded approvingly.

"If you can't ambush, you can't just leave it to your knees, do you mean to take a frontal battle?" Xue Yan asked curiously.

"It's not just a frontal battle, it's a decisive battle. Bai Lu nodded, "Do you think that the king of Zhennan really went to the land of the three counties to defend the city? He fought all his life and resisted the invasion of the Chu State, where is he willing to let his years of hard work fall into the hands of the people of the Chu State." Guanwai was originally barren, but after he came, he took the small village with only four outside the gate step by step, and it became what it is now, with thirteen county towns large and small, and even a state capital. ”

"So, the king of Zhennan is going to recruit troops?" Xue Yan understood a little.

"This is Xia Qiu's idea, and our little prince is also full of unwillingness. The egret responded, "An inch of mountains and rivers and an inch of blood, 100,000 young and strong 100,000 soldiers." I taught him a slogan of conscription, Xia has never lacked fleshy youth, we have equipment, and the soldiers are very well equipped. The only thing we lack is people. ”

And the lord of the country has been recuperating over the years, and he has encouraged the people to practice martial arts. In fact, a considerable number of warriors in the civilian sector are not in the army or in official families. It is different from the state of Chu with full military service, and it is also different from the scattered Han state. Everything the Lord of the Kingdom had done before was to increase the foundation of the Xia Kingdom. I know this, the princess regent knows it, and Xia Qiu and the king of Zhennan are equally clear. ”

Saying this, the egret laughed. "Therefore, it is better to say that the Xia State does not carry out military mobilization, and once the military mobilization is carried out, then our soldiers and horses will definitely become the most powerful of the three kingdoms. And this is the most precious treasure left to us by the lord of the country. ”
