Chapter 538 Suddenly Understanding Qin's Purpose Qi Chen hurriedly returned to the court to report
One sentence came out, shocking the four seats, Qi Chen in front of him only felt that his hairs stood on end after listening to it, and he stood up in a daze, his eyes widened and he wanted to ask clearly, but because he was too excited, his tongue was not good, and En'en couldn't explain a word for a long time.
At the moment of emergency, Chu Yang didn't dare to wait for him to straighten his tongue and open his mouth to ask, so he directly picked out and said: "Fang Cai Zuzhi reminded, I just suddenly realized that the king of Qin made the two generals lead a total of 400,000 troops, where is the real purpose is to attack Qizhou together, it is clearly a secret Chen Cang, I want to take one army to block my Qizhou soldiers and horses and transfer the attention of our army, and the other army will bypass Wei and go south when our country is not prepared, so that we can advance in two ways!"
Qi Chen, who finally relieved his breath, his mind was spinning rapidly, whether it was to determine Chu Yang's worries or not, but it was better to take precautions than to make amends, so he hurriedly asked: "According to the opinion of the governor, the Qin soldiers will go all the way south through the Wei State, where will they take our country?"
"There are nine states in our country, of which Qizhou, Pizhou, Danzhou, Bozhou and Lengzhou are adjacent to Wei. Although it is difficult to determine, it can be eliminated one by one. Qizhou has a Qin army to press the border, and the mountains and rivers are dangerous and there are great generals to intercept them, and the Qin army is not allowed to enter, so it can be the first to be eliminated. There are hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Pizhou, and at the same time send troops to the Wei State, choosing this road is equivalent to a frontal confrontation with our army, and exclude. Danzhou is adjacent to Pizhou, a total of 700 miles close to the Chuanping and Yongyuan that we have captured at this moment, and the army and horses on both sides are tunza, if they pass from here, they will be attacked by our two roads of men and horses, and before they are close to our country for 100 miles, they can annihilate their entire army, which can be ruled out. As far as Leng Zhou is not polite, the name of our Chuyang has spread all over the world, and everyone in the world knows that Guo Yuanqi, the assassin of Leng Zhou, is my uncle, so the Qin army must know that if he is in danger, I will definitely do my best to fight the city with hundreds of thousands of troops in Wei! Therefore, the Qin soldiers will never take this risk and act to eliminate it. ”
Listening to Chu Yang's analysis one by one, Qi Chen and the others nodded yes one after another, but when he counted to the end, everyone present had a puzzled look on their faces.
Qi Chen, who had the largest position, snapped his fingers and counted them, and immediately frowned, as if questioning: "None of the four prefectures, does the governor mean that the Qin army is going to pass through the many cities of the Wei State and take Bozhou?"
Chu Yang didn't reply immediately, but thought about it for a while and confirmed it again before nodding and saying, "Exactly." ”
"Although Kebo Prefecture is adjacent to the Wei State, more than ninety percent of its cities, counties and even prefectures are in the south, and the terrain bordering the north is like a corridor, which is only ten miles wide, and the places interspersed with it are all cities occupied by the governor, how can it live with hundreds of thousands of troops?"
"Although I occupy many cities, the distance between the cities is not visible, and in the middle of the night, even if the army exceeds one million, it is easy! In addition, Bozhou is located in the middle of our Han Kingdom, and although it is not easy to attack, its strategic value is extremely high! First, it can choke the throat of our Wei army, until the grain and grass cannot be supplied, and the soldiers and horses cannot be transported, if it can be occupied, without the help of grain and grass, it will not be long before our army will be in chaos without a fight! Second......"
"However, if the Qin soldiers penetrate deep into the hinterland of our country, they will be surrounded by Danzhou, Lengzhou, Lingzhou, and many other places, so wouldn't it be better to burrow into the urn by themselves? And the two generals sent by the King of Qin are not reckless, but brave and accustomed to war, how can they choose this method of fighting to kill themselves? And what benefit can they gain by besieging themselves in danger and being besieged from all sides?" Before Chu Yang finished speaking, Qi Chen couldn't help but interrupt him.
"What Sima said is that it will indeed be surrounded by heavy troops from many states, but Sima has undercounted one place. ”
"Where?"
"Changyang!" Without waiting for Chu Yang to answer, Yue Shan answered early, and while speaking, there was already a look of horror in his eyes that could not be concealed.
"Yes, it is Changyang! Where the imperial city of the Han Kingdom is located! If the imperial city is besieged and captured by the Qin soldiers, Your Majesty will be in danger! If Your Majesty is in danger, the Han Kingdom will cease to exist!"
Everyone present, whether it was Chu Yang or Qi Chen, could hear the solemnity and tension in the tone of his words.
Qi Chen swallowed his saliva in fright, and then hurriedly said, "I'll leave for the imperial court now, explain the danger to Your Majesty in detail, and send troops to guard against it early!"
After saying that, Qi Chen hurriedly rushed out of the hall, and while running, he called the guards who followed the pretending to be attendants, stepped on his horse in front of the door, and shouted to the early sun in the courtyard while raising the leather whip in his hand: "Please draw up a defense plan immediately!"
"When Sima goes, he must first set up the soldiers to defend the city, and arrange the soldiers and horses to defend the city, so as not to cause trouble when the Wei State takes the opportunity to raise troops to recapture it!" At this time, Chu Yang and the others chased out of the door, and looking further away, Qi Chen's group of men and horses had long since disappeared, and I didn't know if his reply had penetrated Qi Chen's ears.
Chu Yang and the others who returned to the hall were also not interested in celebrating, looking at the wine and food that was still steaming, and sighed, as if it was really like what Chu Yang said, a catastrophe was coming.
The generals frowned for a moment, but Yue Shan took the lead to break the silence, he looked at Chu Yang, who had been thinking with his eyes closed, finally opened his eyes, and hurriedly asked, "Does the general have a good plan?"
Chu Yang sighed, shook his head and said, "If the Qin army only has 100,000 troops going south, I can handle it, if 200,000 or more, I really have no choice but to ......"
"Since the conquest of Wei, the governor has seized dangerous cities and dangerous places one after another, and won successive battles! There are more than 400,000 troops before and after, and the Qin soldiers have only gone south to more than 200,000, and they know their southward route, how can they not bear it?"
"It is true that there are more than 400,000 men and horses under my command, but the army has long been scattered between various cities for the purpose of guarding, if you want to use our men and horses to stop the Qin soldiers, you can only transfer the rest of the city men and horses to listen to it. ”
"What's the point of being transferred?"
"If the soldiers and horses of the cities are transferred, the counties and cities will be empty, and the Wei soldiers will inevitably take advantage of the situation to seize them, then all the cities I have occupied in the past few months will be in vain! Although as long as I can keep the safety of our country, I will lose the city, but I am afraid that the king of Qin will secretly attack Chen Cang and Shengdong and attack the west, if he pretends to intersperse the troops and horses to take Bozhou, in fact, it is to empty my heavy troops in the Wei State and seize it, so what can I do?"
The generals who had just participated in the speech and offered advice had no choice but to stop their voices, and they all sighed in their hearts: I only hate that the troops are not enough!
At this time, Chu Yang had long lost the confidence he had in the previous siege of dangerous places, and was replaced by the clutter in his heart that was difficult to choose.
In fact, he has always understood the pros and cons of quickly advancing troops to capture cities, taking advantage of Wei's improper response, lightning troops will definitely be able to occupy many cities in a row, the advantages are self-evident, but the final result must be to gradually disperse the troops to a few, so he already knows the consequences of this.
But even if you can guess such a result, you can't blame Chu Yang for being reckless.
Because at that time, the Qin-Wei coalition army would raise troops to the south at any time, and if they wanted to completely break the crisis, they could only refuse to have a chance to breathe after the capture of the city, and adopt the strategy of pressing the territory with a large army repeatedly.
