Chapter 230: Four hundred thousand is also available

Bai Zhong accepted the edict and decided to go back to Xianyang tomorrow.

For being recalled to Xianyang, he also expected it, thinking that this battle might be handed over to him to fight, he was still a little excited in his heart, and finally it was his turn as the coach to destroy a country.

Before leaving, Bai Zhong put Li You and Xin Sheng in charge of the affairs of Wuguan, and Tieying Ruishi stayed in Nanjun to continue training the ability to fight on the water, and the others went back with him.

Early the next morning, Bai Zhong walked out of Wuguan, crossed the Qinling Mountains, walked for about five days, and finally returned to the vicinity of Lishan Mountain, and then went back to Xianyang.

When I walked into Xianyang, it was already evening.

As soon as I came back, it was inconvenient to go directly to see Yingzheng, so I took Xiaoyu home first, but as soon as I arrived near my home, I saw someone from the palace coming to pass on the rumor that he would enter the palace tomorrow morning to discuss it.

The news of Hei Bingtai is still very well-informed, and as soon as he returned to Xianyang, he has already reported his affairs to Yingzheng.

Bai Zhong didn't think there was anything about this, but together with Yingshu, he led a little girl home, which suddenly made Yu'er and Lan'er very curious, and Xiao Yu also looked at them a little timidly.

Bai Zhong first briefly told them about Xiaoyu's origin.

"Xiao Yu is so pitiful."

Zhou Yu hugged the little girl and said softly: "In the future, this will be Xiaoyu's home." ”

Xiao Yu said obediently: "Thank you mother, thank you aunt." ”

Yu'er and Lan'er took Xiaoyu around the house to familiarize themselves with the environment first.

Ying Shu said: "I'll go back first, and I'll come back to you tomorrow." ”

"Okay!"

Bai Zhong sent her out.

At night.

Xiao Yu, who finished the washing, held hands with Zhou Yu and Bai Lan respectively and came to the hall.

Yingshu is a female man and doesn't know how to dress up.

They are different, they dressed up Xiao Yu very well, and then Qin Qing also came over as a guest, and when she saw Xiao Yu, her eyes lit up: "Good looking girl." ”

"Xiao Yu, this is Sister Qing."

Zhou Yu briefly introduced and told Xiaoyu's origin.

Xiao Yu's big eyes were shining, and after a while, he said, "Sister Qing! ”

"Xiao Yu is so good."

Qin Qing liked it very much.

Xiao Yu immediately became the focus of the family, and the timidity that had just come back was gone, sitting quietly among them, chatting with them in a milky voice, looking more well-behaved and cute.

——

Early the next morning.

Bai Zhong didn't wake Yu'er, got up lightly, changed his clothes and went to Xianyang Palace.

Not long after arriving at Zhangtai Palace, he saw Wang Jian and others coming.

"General!"

Bai Zhong greeted: "I heard Brother Wang say that the general has gone home to enjoy his happiness, will the king invite the general back again?" ”

Wang Jian nodded and said in a low voice: "Li Xin and the day after they returned to Xianyang, the king asked people to invite me, the king's order cannot be violated, I can't help but come, if I don't guess wrong, the king should let General Bai go to destroy Chu." ”

Self-aware, Wang Jian still has it.

was invited back this time, Ying Zheng probably asked his opinion, and in the end he would not let him send troops, so he could continue to go home and enjoy his happiness.

If he refused, he couldn't come back, because how Bai Qi died, he remembered very well.

"The Admiral is right!"

Meng Wu happened to walk into Zhangtai Palace, heard their conversation, and agreed: "Next, the king will reuse General Bai, and he is in-law with the king, so that the king can rest assured." ”

Bai Zhong said modestly: "The two of you are laughing, how the king decides, let's wait for the arrangement." ”

At this point, they stopped and didn't talk any further.

After a while, Li Si, Wei Yi and others also came, and they all greeted Bai Zhong, and they all waited in the main hall until Zhao Gao came out and shouted: "The king has arrived!" ”

Everyone bowed.

"General!"

The first person Ying Zheng wanted to ask was not Bai Zhong, but Wang Qian, and continued: "The widow regrets not listening to the general's advice, which led to the defeat of the attack on Chu, and I am deeply ashamed, and the widow will apologize to you first." ”

Wang Jian hurriedly got up and said, "The minister doesn't dare!" ”

Ying Zheng said again: "The general still insists, 600,000 people will be needed to destroy Chu?" ”

"The minister thinks that it must be 600,000, only more, not less."

Wang Jian insisted: "Chu is different from the Three Jins, it should not be underestimated, the scale of the battle to destroy Chu is not small, not to seek a city and a pool, but a war to destroy the country, what needs to be done is to kill the enemy head-on, defend in the rear, protect the grain route, detect the enemy's situation, and so on." ”

"General Li Xin's 200,000 people are far from enough."

"In addition, the state of Chu won a battle, and the morale is currently high and the fighting spirit is high, if you don't play with a grand lineup, you won't be able to suppress the morale of the Chu army."

"So there can only be more, not less."

When he finished, he bowed.

It's just a suggestion, whether Ying Zheng will adopt it, he can't be sure, and it has nothing to do with him.

If before Li Xin's defeat, Ying Zhenghui thought that Wang Qian's analysis was pedantic and timid, and now he agrees with it, saying: "What the general said is reasonable, but the widow can't think of such a long-term situation. ”

"Bai Qing!"

His gaze finally fell on Bai Zhong's body.

"The minister is here!"

"You sent an envoy to the country of Chu, you should know a lot about everything in Chu, if you are the commander, how many soldiers and horses will be needed to destroy Chu?"

"It will be a little less than the general's, 400,000 troops."

Bai Zhong said.

Hearing that the number of troops he needed was 200,000 less than Wang Qian's, Ying Zheng asked again: "What does Bai Qing think, how to fight?" ”

Bai Zhong said: "First thwart the high morale of the Chu army, and then break Xiang Yan in one fell swoop, and kill to Shouchun, the specific method, the minister plans to use the army to press the border, build a high wall, and consume the Chu army for a long time, drag Xiang Yan down, and wait until the morale of the Chu army is low and the supply of grain and grass is not available, which is when Xiang Yan is defeated." ”

This is also the method used by Wang Jian to destroy Chu.

In the face of the high morale of the Chu army, Wang Qian's army pressed the border, directly built a high wall, and did not go to war, no matter how the Chu army called the battle, it just did not fight.

Xiang Yan had no way to take Wang Qian, but he didn't dare to withdraw the army rashly, for fear that as soon as the front foot retreated, Wang Jian would kill the back foot, so he could only stalemate, and in the end, the grain and grass could not support the consumption of the Chu army, so he had to retreat.

This confrontation lasted for a whole year.

As soon as Xiang Yan retreated, Wang Jian was like a bamboo, and he leveled the main force of the Chu army.

Hearing Bai Zhong say this, Wang Qian's eyes lit up again, and he thought to himself, sure enough, the hero sees the same thing, and the strategy that General Bai thinks is almost the same as what I think.

"What does the Admiral think?"

Ying Zheng asked again.

Wang Jian came back to his senses and said respectfully: "If you let the minister fight, the minister's thoughts are the same as General Bai's." ”

"Good!"

Ying Zheng heard that Wang Jian also thought so, and said decisively: "Bai Qing, in the first battle of destroying Chu, the widow will be handed over to you, the national captain will first collect 400,000 soldiers, wait in the Lantian camp, Feng Qing will mobilize enough grain and grass, when will it be completed, and when will it be set off." ”

Bai Zhong and Wei Yu and Feng went to the disease, and responded: "Only! ”
