Chapter 60: Quick Fix

Wang Qian's army, in the Chinese army's tent, Wang Qian, Wang Ben, and Yingcheng gathered in the account to discuss matters.

"Father, Yingcheng and I each led the front army left and right, and we approached all the way without encountering any resistance. According to my father, was it intentional by the rebels? Wang Ben asked Wang Jian with his hand.

Yingcheng, who was standing on the other side, also bowed his hand and said, "The two of us are afraid that Fan Yu's plan will be fooled, so we will come back together to discuss with General Wang." ”

Wang Jian twisted the black beard on his chin and said: "You are right not to rush to continue the march, then Fan Yuzhi is scheming, and there are Zhao and Wei behind him, so he really has to guard against it." ”

"The child thinks that based on the current situation, there are about three possible scenarios." Wang Ben said.

"Tell me what you think." Wang Jian looked at Wang Ben and said.

"First, Fan Yuzhi knew that his troops were less than our army, so he deliberately showed weakness and tried to lure the enemy deep into the depths to break through each one, so as to make up for the disadvantage." Wang Ben analyzed.

Wang Jian nodded and asked, "What about the second?" ”

Wang Ben continued: "Second, Fan Yuzhi intends to withdraw his army, join up with the Zhao and Wei armies, temporarily avoid the edge of our army, and then launch a counterattack when our army is exhausted. ”

"What about the third?" Ying Cheng asked in front of Wang Qian.

"The third is that most of the rebels have no revolt, so they have no fighting spirit at all, and they just wait for our army to rush over, and then scatter and flee." Wang Ben said.

Ying Cheng chuckled beside him, if this was the case, it would be easier.

Wang Jian twisted his black beard again and said: "These three situations are indeed possible, and the most critical factor is the extent to which Fan Yuqi has controlled the rebels. The generals in the rebel army, whether they are loyal to Daqin or the tiger talisman in their hearts. ”

"In this way, the key to this battle is to see how the rebel generals choose." Yingcheng said.

"That's true." Wang Jian said, "Changping Jun has sent someone to infiltrate the rebels, and it is said that he has reported the news, and listen to the news from the rebels before making plans." ”

As soon as the words fell, the herald outside the door walked into the tent, knelt down on one knee and arched his hand: "Hello Marshal, Changping Jun asks to see." “

"Yes, please." Wang Jian said.

Whoever you say will arrive.

Not long after, Changpingjun walked into the big tent.

"Dashuai." Changping Jun bowed his hand and said.

"Changping-kun doesn't have to be polite." Wang Jian said, "Although this is before the battle, the king ordered you to help, and we can be brothers together." ”

Changping Jun said: "After all, it is a big tent in the army, the commander is the commander, and there must be a number of courtesies." ”

"Hehe, please be seated." Wang Jian smiled and made a gesture of please.

The two politely sat down side by side.

Wang Jian took the lead in getting to the point and asked, "Is there news coming back from among the rebels?" ”

Changpingjun nodded and said in a low voice, "The news has come back." Nearly half of the mid-level generals in the rebel army did not want to commit treason, and when the two armies attacked and killed, they would tie the red silk to their left arm and surrender directly. ”

"Good!" Wang Jian praised happily.

Wang Ben also said happily: "In this way, the rebels will be defeated without a fight." ”

"It seems that the rebels belong to the third case." Yingcheng said.

"The third scenario?" Changpingjun was puzzled.

Wang Jian smiled and briefly said the three possibilities that Wang Ben analyzed.

Changping Jun nodded and said: "Now, the rebels have lost their morale, and it is the best time to defeat them in one fell swoop. ”

"Changpingjun is right, father, give the order." Wang Ben said.

Wang Jian stroked the black beard on his chin again, his eyes became sharp, and said, "Okay!" Wang Ben, Yingcheng listened to the order. ”

"The end will be." Wang Ben and Yingcheng shouted in unison, quite imposing.

"Wang Ben, you lead your headquarters with 20,000 horses, bypass the rebel garrison, fortify the border, if there are Zhao and Wei reinforcements to come to the rescue, be sure to block them outside the Qin realm." Wang Jian ordered sharply, "If there are no reinforcements to rescue, then the remnants of the rebels must be intercepted in the Qin realm, and they will all be killed. ”

"The last will be ordered!" Wang Ben's voice was high-pitched.

"Yingcheng, you lead 20,000 headquarters to advance from the flanks, and if you encounter any resistance, you will be destroyed." Wang Jian said solemnly, "Then, go around to the flank of the rebels, and when the main force of the Chinese army begins to rush and kill, you will lead your troops to outflank from both flanks, and try to drive the remnants of the rebels in the direction of Wang Ben's ambush." ”

"The last will be ordered!" Yingcheng's voice is loud.

"Remember, whoever has a red silk on his left arm must not be killed. When encountering Cheng Huan and Fan Yu, be sure to capture them alive. Wang Jian advised.

"Yes." The two of them surrendered their orders.

"Changping-kun." Wang Jian looked at Changping Jun, and his tone softened a lot.

"Yes." Changping Jun replied.

"You lead 10,000 soldiers to gather and surrender troops on the battlefield. It must be quickly reorganized to prevent Zhao and Wei from attacking. Wang Jian said.

"The last general's commander's order." Changping Jun arched his hand and said.

"The remaining 50,000 horses will be the main force of the Chinese army, under the personal command of the commander, and the main attack will be carried out." Wang Jian said, "After each of them has received enough grain and grass, let's set off, and tomorrow, the general attack will begin." ”

"Yes, Boss." Several people said together.

Several people went out of the big tent and prepared to go.

At the same time, Cheng Huan battalion.

"Master, I heard that Yingzheng sent Wang Jian to lead an army of 100,000 to attack, is this serious?" Cheng Huan looked at Fan Yuzhi and asked.

"It is true." Fan Yuqi said, "However, you can rest assured that we have the armies of Zhao and Wei behind us, and it is expected that Wang Jian will not dare to attack rashly." ”

"Are Zhao and Wei reliable?" Cheng Huan was a little puzzled and said, "You must know that we came here this time to fight Wei." ”

"Now that we have issued a document on the crusade against Yingzheng, we have announced to the world that the throne of the Qin State will change hands." Fan Yuqi said, "As long as we negotiate with Zhao and Wei, at the cost of returning the city, Zhao and Wei will definitely do their best to help us oust Yingzheng from power." ”

"Then did Zhao and Wei agree?" Cheng Huan asked.

"Of course, if you are not completely sure, the old man will not take this risk." Fan Yuzhi said, "What's more, once Ying Zheng's life story is announced, he must not be able to sit on the throne without us doing anything." ”

"But I'm still a little worried that Wang Qian's army will rush straight over." Cheng Huan said.

"Even if he will pounce on him, our army of 80,000 is not vegetarian, and he will definitely not come back." Fan Yuzhi's eyes flashed with a cold light.

Only then did Cheng Chan settle down.

On the second day, before dawn, the herald rushed into Cheng Huan's tent in a panic.

"Report!!" The herald knelt down on one knee and arched his hand and said: "Boss, I found a large Qin army ten miles ahead, look at the banner, it should be the main force of the Chinese army led by Wang Jian himself." ”

Cheng Huan hadn't woken up too much, and when she heard the news, she didn't feel sleepy at all, and she got up suddenly.

"The main force of the Chinese army?" Cheng Huan asked, "How many people are there?" ”

"According to the observation of various checkpoints, there are about 50,000." The herald said.

"Fifty thousand ......" Hearing this number, Cheng Huan felt a little more relieved.

"This time, Wang Jian commanded a total of 100,000 soldiers and horses, and the remaining 50,000 should be led by Wang Ben and Yingcheng, but there is no trace of them so far." The herald said coldly.

Hearing the news, Cheng Huan became nervous again: "Go, call General Fan." ”

Not long after, Fan Yuzhi walked into Cheng Huan's big tent.

"Don't panic, I've passed the order, the front army has been lined up, and the archers are ready, so there's nothing to worry about." Fan Yuzhi said confidently.

"Wang Jian is a famous general after all, and he has another 50,000 troops who are missing, I suspect that there must be some tricks in this." Cheng Huan said.

"If we find that something is wrong, we can retreat to the place where Qin and Wei meet, if Wang Jian dares to pursue, he will fall for our plan to lure the enemy deeper." Fan Yuqi said gloomily.

"Shall we retreat now?" Cheng Huan asked.

"Let's touch him first." Fan Yuqi said.

At the same time, the other side.

The 50,000-strong army has been lined up, with every 10,000 people forming a phalanx, and all arms of the army are scattered and orderly, ready to go.

"It's almost time, I don't know if Wang Ben and Yingcheng have rushed to the designated location." Changpingjun looked into the distance and said in a low voice.

"If Changping Jun is completely sure that nearly half of the soldiers on the other side will give up resistance, then even if the two of them do not participate in the battle, they will definitely win." Wang Jian still said with some worry.

"Rest assured, Xiong is completely sure that half of the rebel army will not participate in the war." Chang Pingjun said.

"If only that were the case." Wang Jian said.

Wang Jian was extremely thoughtful, he was worried that the people sent by Changping Jun would be discovered by Fan Yuzhi, and then deliberately sent back false news, and planned to lead the Qin army to attack.

However, in terms of combat power, as long as he does not encounter any ambushes and fights head-on, Wang Jian is still very confident.

And even if there was an ambush, Yingcheng and Wang Ben should be cleaning up, and they did not send back any news of the battle, indicating that the rebels did not have an ambush.

Thinking about it this way, Wang Jian became more confident, and turned around and asked the herald: "What news has come back from the Tanma ahead?" ”

The herald arched his hand and said: "Marshal, the news that Tan Ma has just sent back, the rebel front army has been arrayed, about 20,000 people, led by the deputy general, and the main general has not been seen to supervise the formation. ”

"Cheng Huan and Fan Yuzhi didn't show up?" Wang Jian said.

"Presumably, before the moment of the decisive battle, Cheng Huan will not show up easily." Chang Pingjun said.

"Then force them to show up." Wang Jian said awe-inspiringly, "By the way, verify how many people in the rebels want to surrender." ”

"How to tempt?" Changpingjun asked.

Wang Jian looked at Changping Jun, and then looked at the herald and said, "Go down and gather the cavalry, crossbowmen, and chariots of the first two phalanxes." The horse archers are in front, and the horse archers are behind, covering the horse archers to withdraw if the enemy attacks. Chariots and infantry follow the archers, and if the enemy comes to the front, they will be destroyed. ”

The herald arched his hand and said, "Order." ”

Wang Jian added: "The time to launch a surprise attack. ”

In response, the herald went down to give the order.

Changping Jun pondered for a moment and asked, "General Wang's move, but to test whether the enemy army will attack?" ”

Wang Jian smiled and said, "Not bad." If the soldiers have no intention of facing the battle, they will not take the initiative to attack, but will only passively defend, in this way, in the case of continuous attrition and the soldiers do not fight back, Cheng Huan and Fan Yuzhi will definitely come to supervise the battle. And if the enemy soldiers intend to meet the battle, they will counterattack, so that when the front army comes out to pursue, they will destroy the front army in one go. ”

"Hahaha...... Wonderful! Wonderful! Changping Jun exclaimed.

Wang Qian's face showed a more confident calmness.

"However, why does General Wang have to lead out Cheng Huan and Fan Yuzhi?" Changpingjun asked puzzled.

"Heart-to-heart." Wang Jian replied lightly.
