In March of 503 B.C., Sun Wu was ordered to lead 5,000 Jingjia north to Yongxi, preparing to cross Yongli and then cross the Han River, and go straight to Ying, the capital of Chu State.

Qingji continued to command the coalition army, and then in the area of Yunmengze, along the waterway of the Han River, he continued to attack the water village built by the Chu army.

Qingji had to do this, because if he bypassed the water village regardless of the cost, it would be tantamount to creating a potential danger for himself.

That is, bypassing the water village will put the coalition army in danger of being attacked on the belly and back, and it will also expose the coalition army's transportation grain route to the Chu army.

Once the Chu army suddenly cut off supplies in the rear, it will soon cause the morale of the army to waver, cause panic, and greatly weaken the combat effectiveness of the army, and the result will only be to wait to be picked up by the enemy.

This is a taboo for soldiers!

Just like Ma Tan in the Three Kingdoms period, he wanted to garrison the mountain, but the Wei army found a flaw, cut off the water source of the whole army, and finally ended up with the whole army annihilated.

Qingji had to take this into account.

Anyway, he had a lot of troops under his command, and the armies of countries such as Cai, Xu, and Zhong Wu, as well as Bai Gongsheng's army, and the new army of Wu.

In fact, these soldiers don't pay much attention to Qingji......

At this time, Qingji can also take this opportunity to weaken the vital forces of the various vassal countries, so that the Wu State can better digest them in the future, so that they can be completely incorporated into the territory of the Wu State in a subtle way.

……

Chu military camp.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Shen Zhuliang was sitting in the handsome seat, discussing military aircraft matters with the generals.

"Newspaper—"

Suddenly, a junior colonel hurriedly entered and said loudly: "Zuo Sima! Doctor Yin Daxin sent troops for help, the water village will be broken, please Zuo Sima reinforcements as soon as possible! ”

"I see. Retire! ”

Shen Zhuliang just waved his hand calmly and asked the little colonel to step back.

However, he never gave an order and sent troops to rescue the water village that was about to be broken by the enemy.

This is clearly treating the soldiers there as outcasts, regardless of their life and death!

Seeing this, the generals present couldn't help but feel a little chilled.

Right Sima Miji couldn't help but stand up, bowed to Shen Zhuliang on the handsome position, and said, "Zuo Sima, why don't you send reinforcements?" ”

"In the past ten days, Emperor Shi, Pan Zichen, Xiao Weizi and seven doctors have all died in battle, and seven water villages have been broken one after another!"

"The enemy army has been overwhelmed, Zuo Sima, how can you not save your robes when you see death? Turning a deaf ear to the lives and deaths of front-line soldiers? ”

Hearing this, Shen Zhuliang just sat there in a precarious position, and then glanced at Qi Ji and said, "Right Sima, are you questioning the general's order?" ”

"Don't dare!"

Mi Ji gritted his teeth and said: "It's just that Zuo Sima has such a tactic, and the old man feels deeply disdainful!" ”

"And how do you make Ben?"

Shen Zhuliang frowned and said, "Send troops to fight to the death with the Wu people?" Isn't it an egg striking a stone? Pass on the general's order, and then there are those who talk about sending troops to fight in vain, and punish the crime! ”

"No!"

The generals of the Chu army present were very angry.

They all thought that Shen Zhuliang was a turtle with a shrunken head, and they didn't dare to fight by themselves, but they let the soldiers under their command go to death!

Isn't it humiliating to follow such a coach?

is the so-called rabbit dead fox sorrow, they don't know if they will end up with Emperor Shi, Pan Zichen, Xiao Weizi!

After all the generals retreated, Mi Ji stayed alone, ready to say some considerate words to Shen Zhuliang.

Mi Ji is Shen Zhuliang's father and Shen Yinshu's old friend.

At that time, Mi Ji, as a deputy general, accompanied Shen Yinshu to attack Wu, but the Chu army was defeated by Luzi, Shen Yinshu committed suicide in defeat, and Mi Ji was also captured by the Wu army.

Fortunately, Qingji was still kind, and he put back all the captured Chu generals such as Mi Ji, but Mi Ji was also questioned, deprived of all official positions, and demoted to commoners.

Until the outbreak of the Bai Gongsheng Rebellion, Mi Ji was once again activated by Xiong Zhen, the king of Chu, because of his meritorious service to King Qin, and became the deputy general of Shen Zhuliang and the right Sima of Chu.

Good-looking romance

Whenever he thinks of the battle of Luzi back then, Mi Ji always can't help but feel a chill in his back, and his heart is very sad.

80,000, a full 80,000 soldiers, all folded in Wu State, folded in Luzi.

The Chu soldiers who did not die in the battle were all left in Wu by the Wu people, responsible for the reclamation of Tuntian, and now they all settled in Wu and were not allowed to return to their hometowns.

Mi Ji was able to return to the Chu State, which was already a blessing in misfortune.

It's just that the past is vivid, and Mi Ji doesn't want to avenge Shen Yinshu all the time, and avenge the Wu army for the dead soldiers of the Chu State!

"Zigao (Shen Zhuliang table characters), the old man really doesn't understand, why did you use such tactics to block the Wu army."

Mi Ji shook his head and said: "Now, the grain and grass of my Chu army can no longer support three months, on the other hand, the Wu army has enough food and no worries, and they are afraid that they will be able to fight for more than half a year." ”

"In this way, Zigao has to repeat the mistakes of the old man and your father?"

This is the most painful thing for Mi Ji, because in the battle of Luzi that year, the strength of the Chu army was still far more than that of the Wu army.

It's just that the Chu army went on an expedition, and the logistics and supplies couldn't keep up, and the Wu army cut off the grain route, and fell into a dilemma!

Until the end, when the Chu army had to surrender to the Wu army, there were still 50,000 people.

This shows the importance of grain and grass.

Now the state of Chu is fighting on its own, but the grain and grass mobilized from all over the country can only support it for three months, so you can imagine how embarrassed the state of Chu is now!

"Uncle, my nephew knows what you said."

Shen Zhuliang and Mi Ji are also extremely close.

Looking at the old man with gray temples in front of him, Shen Zhuliang sighed and said, "However, there are some things that I have to do. ”

"Wu people are in full swing and cannot be beaten. Now, after many twists and turns, the fighting spirit of the Wu army has declined. ”

"Our Chu army will not sit idly by, waiting for the enemy to attack. Uncle, you wait, as long as it enters the middle of summer, Yun Mengze's sweltering heat and epidemic will be the biggest enemy of the Wu army. ”

Hearing this, Mi Ji suddenly glared, with a look of surprise, and asked, "Zigao, you mean, fire attack?" ”

"It doesn't have to be a fire attack."

Shen Zhuliang smiled slightly: "Wu Wang Qingji, who leads the troops to fight all the year round, is well versed in the art of war, and his famous generals such as Sun Wu, Wu Yuan, and Tian Sui Tho are all very good, and they all have the talent of generals. ”

"Encamping in the dense forest is a taboo for soldiers. It is impossible for the Wu people not to know. ”

"However, if the fire attack can't be done, the little nephew can also find another way, and be sure to break the enemy army in one battle, at all costs!"

Shen Zhuliang was already ruthless at this time.

He knew that with conventional tactics, it was impossible to defeat the powerful coalition army, and he could only win by surprise.

What is a surprise win?

It's a tactic that people never expected.

Whether it's a fire attack, flooding, or deliberately creating a plague, a tactic that kills a thousand enemies and damages eight hundred, Shen Zhuliang doesn't care!
