The original general of Wuguan, before Bai Zhong arrived, received an order to go back to Xianyang to report on his work.

As soon as Bai Zhong arrived, he took over everything, only rectifying Wuguan for two days, and then set off to Nanjun as planned, leaving only 10,000 people to garrison.

Wuguan was Nanjun before, as long as Ning Teng is still there, there will be no danger, they are still going to attack Chu State, the Chu army is overwhelmed, it is impossible to bypass Nanjun and sneak attack Wuguan, even if it is sneak attacked, 10,000 people are enough to hold Wuguan for a period of time, and wait for the army to come back.

A few days later.

Bai Zhong came to Gangneung in Nanjun and met Ning Teng again.

Before the world map, Ying Zheng had spent a lot of manpower copying several copies, and Bai Zhong took away that part of the Chu State, although it was not as colorful as the original, but it also used different concentrations of ink to depict the difference in the height of the mountain-shaped terrain.

Because the painters, and the people who make the map, don't know the concept of contour lines, they can only use this method, but it is not difficult to tell.

"Ning Junshou thinks, which city of Chu should I fight first?"

Bai Zhong unfolded the map and asked Ning Teng's opinion.

Ning Teng, as a former Korean, whether it is Yingchuan or Nanjun, is not far from the Chu State, and he knows the situation in Huaiyang better, and looks at the map for a while and says: "First go east, attack the two cities of Xianghe and Chongqiu, and smoothly march into Huaiyang County, and then hit Cai Hepingyu, and finally approach Chen Cheng and take the entire Huaiyang, so as to ensure the safety of the rear of the Wei army." ”

Chen Cheng, also known as Chen Ying.

Ning Teng continued: "The two cities of Xianghe and Chongqiu are okay, the general came out of the east of Nanjun and can catch the Chu army off guard, but the Chu army will react soon, and then it should be intercepted in Rushui to the west of the two cities of Shangcai and Pingyu, and it is not easy to cross the river." ”

Bai Zhong saw the river on the map and thought that Ning Teng had a point, and said, "As long as Shangcai and Pingyu are attacked, then Chen Cheng can be easily taken." ”

"The upper reaches of Rushui are Yingchuan, so I can let the Mengjun Shou send some boats to swim down and wait upstream of Shangcai to assist me in crossing the river."

"Are there any sailors in Nanjun who are good at water warfare?"

He finally asked Ning Teng.

"Yes, but not much, about eight thousand."

Ning Teng nodded and responded: "After I came to Nanjun, I first started training sailors, these 8,000 people are still left before, and their water ability is good, and the new batch of sailors has not yet been trained." ”

To fight against the Chu State, the southern waters are wide and the rivers are dense, and water battles are inevitable.

Ning Teng thought of this in advance, and soon after he came, he was preparing for the future water war.

Bai Zhong said: "I don't need eight thousand, three thousand is enough, please ask Ning County Shou to transfer someone to me." ”

What the Iron Eagle Ruishi currently lacks is experience in water warfare.

It's just right to train in advance in Rushui, and by the way, let them feel what it's like to fight in water.

Ning Teng immediately led Bai Zhong and them to the river outside the city.

There was a simple camp for sailors, and hundreds of warships, and the sailors rose up to salute when they saw the county guard coming.

In addition to the eight thousand veterans, there were five thousand new sailors, all of whom were trained here.

"General Bai really only has 3,000 people?"

Ning Teng asked.

Bai Zhong nodded and said, "Three thousand is enough, if there are more, I am worried that there will not be enough warships." ”

Ning Teng said loudly: "Three thousand soldiers!" ”

The three thousand people quickly gathered and stood in front of Bai Zhong.

After the review, Bai Zhong took them to the barracks, stayed in Jiangling in Nanjun for another day, and officially set out tomorrow to enter Huaiyang in the Chu State.

Early the next morning.

Bai Zhong led more than 70,000 people to walk out of Nanjun.

Before leaving, he also asked people to hurry up to Yingchuan, and asked Meng Yi to send a group of warships to the south along Rushui.

If Meng Yi has time to respond, he can use a warship to assist in crossing the river, and if he is too late, he can only attack through the pontoon bridge, but the premise of these is that the Chu army really reacts so quickly and can come to intercept it in time.

When he was about to enter the Huaiyang range, Bai Zhong deliberately lagged behind by some distance, looked at Changping Jun beside him and said, "Your Majesty, how to appease the people of Huaiyang, after the fight, it all depends on you." ”

Xiong Qi hesitated for a while before he reacted and said embarrassedly: "This is what I should do." ”

"What are you thinking?"

Bai Zhong smiled: "Are you thinking, we shouldn't attack the Chu State?" ”

Xiong Qi denied it without thinking about it: "Of course not, although I am a nobleman of the Chu State, I have always lived in the Qin State, and I don't have much feeling for the Chu State, please believe me, the general." ”

"Of course I believe in you!"

Bai Zhong smiled, but didn't believe it was true.

Changping Jun still has a certain attachment to the Chu State, otherwise he would not have betrayed it later, but he didn't break it, so let it be.

Anyway, the trend of destroying the Six Nations cannot be reversed.

After walking some distance, Bai Zhong rode his horse to the front and called Li Xin and the others over to discuss the military.

Xiong Qi looked at Bai Zhong's back, frowned, and said in his heart: "Should he have seen my thoughts, or did the king think the same way and deliberately let him test me?" The king asked me to go with the army, but it was actually a test, and I must not show it. ”

He secretly decided in his mind that he knew what to do and what not to do now.

"Li Xin and Zhang Han, each of you will lead 20,000 troops and join forces to attack Chongqiu."

Bai Zhong spread out the map again and continued: "The rest of the people, take Xianghe with me, and finally we will gather on the west bank of Rushui, northwest of Shangcai, Li Xin, do you two have confidence?" ”

Li Xin directly made a military order and said: "If you can't take the heavy hill, or the overall casualties are more than 5,000, I will come to the general with my head." ”

Zhang Han echoed: "Me too! ”

Bai Zhong was very satisfied with them, and said: "Luo Qing and Tian Zhen, you don't need to follow me anymore, go with Li Xin, the short soldiers you are responsible for will be merged into the Iron Eagle Ruishi, so arrange it like this!" ”

"Yui!"

Luo Qing and Tian Zhen said in unison.

After so many battles, the generals of the Iron Eagle Ruishi have experience and have accumulated about the same amount of military exploits, so they should gradually divide a few and continue to stay, it will only be a waste of talents.

Thinking of this, Bai Zhong said again: "There are still more than 30,000 people left on my side, Meng Tian and Wang Li, you each lead 10,000 troops, Zhang Tang and Ren Huan each lead 5,000 troops, and the Iron Eagle Ruishi is temporarily in charge of Gengwu, and the vacant two or five hundred lords will be selected after taking Huaiyang, arrange it like this first, and separate!" ”

"Yui!"

Everyone said in unison.

Meng Tian and the others could see that the general was ready to promote himself, but it was only the beginning at this time.

In the future, there will definitely be more and more soldiers and horses.

Li Xin and Zhang Han first led their troops to Chongqiu in the southeast.

Bai Zhong gathered the remaining soldiers and horses and went straight to Xianghe.

The position of the short soldier was replaced by Ying Shu and his two thousand people, and Xiong Qi still followed Bai Zhong's side.

The army walked for another half a day, and finally came to the outside of Xianghe City.

"Set up camp and rest!"

Bai Zhong ordered.

Out of the range of the Qinling Mountains, the terrain here is dominated by plains.

As soon as the Qin army arrived outside Xianghe City, even if there was still a certain distance, the Chu army in Xianghe City instantly discovered the situation, hurriedly went back to report, and became vigilant.
