For the next period of time, in addition to training with the large army every day, Zhou Xin also kept learning Qin Seal from Liu Baijiang, he knew the necessity of learning and prepared for future promotions.

One day two months later, after training in the evening, Zhou Xin went to ask General Liu Bai for advice on Qin Seal, and when the two were talking, someone knocked on the door and came in, and the person who came was the guard on duty next to the military guard today.

I saw that after he saluted Liu Baijiang and Zhou Xin, he then said:

"Hundred generals, Zhou Tunchang, the army is waiting for the notice to prepare to leave tomorrow."

After saying that, the guards turned around and left, citing the need to inform the other teams.

After the notifier left, Liu Baijiang looked at Zhou Xin in front of him with a complicated expression, he knew that maybe after this war, Zhou Xin's status would surpass him, and he had also tried to compete with Zhou Xin privately these days, but he found that he couldn't pass a few tricks in Zhou Xin's hands.

In addition, Zhou Xin often comes to consult him Qin Seal these days, he thought at first that he was trying to win over Zhou Xin, but not long after teaching, he found Zhou Xin's amazing learning speed, and now Zhou Xin has mastered more than 2,000 words proficiently.

Zhou Xin's study in a short period of time can catch up with his five-year learning progress, and when he communicates with Zhou Xin, he is often shocked by Zhou Xin's words, and he doesn't know where Zhou Xin's future achievements are?

"Brother Liu? What are you thinking? Won't it be to see that you are about to set off, worried about your wife and children at home? ”

Hearing Zhou Xin's shouting of the eldest brother, he felt more and more that he had made the right choice, and not long after he first started teaching Zhou Xin, he decided to have a good relationship with Zhou Xin, so that when Zhou Xin developed, he could pull him up, so he asked Zhou Xin to call him the eldest brother in private.

"I didn't think about anything, I just thought that I could finally go, I don't have anything to teach you now, and when we return from a big victory, I will recommend a teacher for you to teach you."

"Then thank you Brother Liu."

After Zhou Xin expressed his gratitude, General Liu Bai instructed Zhou Xin to go back and inform his soldiers so that they could also prepare for tomorrow's departure, so he let him leave first, and General Liu Bai had to go to inform another commander.

On the second day, after the army was sorted out, it set off under the leadership of Wang Junhou, Zhou Xin rode a horse and followed behind Wang Junhou, and now the way of riding a horse made Zhou Xin a little uncomfortable, without stirrups to help him, it was more troublesome to control the horses.

However, Zhou Xin didn't take it out now, and when he had the opportunity to build up his power in the future, he would use it as a hole card, and if he took it out now, it would only increase the combat power of others.

In the process of advancing, other warp units continued to merge in, and slowly developed from a small army of 5,000 men to a large army of more than 30,000 men, and the middle and high ranks of the army at the rank of lieutenant also appeared.

……

After a month's trek, the army finally arrived in Yingchuan County.

After the leading lieutenant clarified his identity, everyone arrived at the designated place under the guidance of a special person, and when everyone was arranged, it was already evening, and everyone who had been busy for a day rested early.

For several days, Zhou Xin and the others did not receive a military order, so everyone chatted about when there would be a war in addition to training, and some people were clamoring for how many enemies to kill, hoping to get which level of title they could get.

Zhou Xin looked at everyone's anxious mood, and while he was amused, he explained like everyone:

"I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed, if nothing else, it's hard to have a big war for a long time recently, I guess General Wang Jian will adopt a policy of clearing the wilderness and dragging down the Chu army with the hard power of our Qin State."

Unexpectedly, after everyone heard Zhou Xin's words, everyone laughed, and someone began to introduce Zhou Xin to the deeds of the old general Wang Qian, who had selected elite soldiers to attack and win many times, so they didn't believe Zhou Xin's statement at all.

Only Liu Baijiang, who had seen Zhou Xin's genius on the side, believed his words, and saw that everyone was still laughing at Zhou Xin, so he directly opened his mouth to help:

"Zhou Xin, how do you judge that Old General Wang will be strong and clear the wilderness and drag down the Chu army?"

"Last year, General Li Xin led 200,000 Paoze to attack Chu State, General Li won the first battle, so he took the risk of attacking Shouchun directly, resulting in the loss of most of the Paoze by Xiang Yan and returning defeated, and many soldiers are still worried.

If the old general Wang Jian attacked directly, the low morale would not be available, so it would take time to repair, and if he did not fight with the Chu army in the process of repair, he could also wear down the morale of the Chu army's great victory. ”

Zhou Xin explained a little reason, and everyone also fell into thinking, and even some people agreed with Zhou Xin's opinion, and they were also impressed by Zhou Xin, they just thought that Zhou Xin was brave before, but they didn't know his wisdom.

After repairing for half a month, everyone received a new military order, ordering them to be stationed in front of Pingyu as the first batch of troops, and the next day the people who had packed up set off for Pingyu.

……

After half a month's trek, the first batch of troops came to a place 100 miles in front of Pingyu City to set up camp, and with everyone stationed, the news of the arrival of the Qin army quickly spread to Shouchun, the capital of Chu State.

After the king of Chu got the news, he summoned the ministers to discuss together, especially after everyone arrived, the king of Chu told the news of the arrival of the Qin army and asked everyone how to deal with it.

When they learned that the size of the Qin army was about 100,000 people, there were several generals who asked to fight, and in their opinion, the Qin army of 100,000 troops could be pushed flat, looking at the few people who were vying for the opportunity to go out, Xiang Yan, who had defeated Li Xin last year, stood up and said:

"Great King, if there are only 100,000 Qin troops now, there will be no problem with our soldiers stationed at the border holding out for a few months, we might as well wait and see, if the Qin army still needs to increase troops, we will discuss countermeasures at that time."

When the ministers heard Xiang Yan's words, they all agreed, but everyone's move inevitably made the King of Chu wary of Xiang Yan again.

In fact, since Xiang Yanxie's return from the victory last year, the king of Chu has been full of wariness of Xiang Yan, so he began to slowly remove Xiang Yan's military power, and by now it has basically been completed, and Xiang Yan has no military power except for their family's private soldiers.

And Xiang Yan did not resist in the face of the actions of the King of Chu, he knew that the Qin State was still eyeing the tiger, so he was not afraid of the time when he did not regain military power, and the King of Chu saw Xiang Yan's actions, coupled with the dismissal of military power, he completely relieved his heart.

However, this discussion made the king of Chu see Xiang Yan's prestige among the people, so he thought that after the threat of Qin was completely resolved, he would throw Xiang Yan back to their Xiang family's fiefdom.

After this short meeting, the king of Chu ordered to report the movements of the Qin army on the border line at all times, but everyone got the news of the Qin army's increase again and again, from 100,000 to 200,000, 300,000, and 400,000.

At this time, the king of Chu and the ministers were in a hurry, and soon passed the appointment of Xiang Yan as the commander and summoned soldiers from various counties to resist the Qin army.

……

At this time, Pingyu, who had already stationed more than 400,000 Qin troops, summoned the people to build a defense line under Wang Qian's order, and soon the people who were gathered began to build a defense line fifty miles from Pingyu.

The First Clan

In the rest of the month, a military camp about one zhang high and five miles long and five miles wide was built, and under the order of Wang Qian, 400,000 troops were stationed in it, and fortifications began to be built around the barracks.
