Chapter 239: Joining forces with the Qi Kingdom
After the candles in the cave room, a few more days passed.
Bai Zhong officially set out to destroy Chu, got the consent of Ying Zheng, and also got the Tiger Talisman, gathered all the troops, led them through the Qinling Mountains, and went to Wuguan first.
When he came to Wuguan, he also gathered the soldiers of Wuguan, Bai Zhong only stayed here for a day, and then set off for Nanjun, leaving only 20,000 people in Wuguan, and leaving Ren Huan to guard.
After a long long march, he went to the south, and Bai Zhong was also worried that Fusu would not adapt to the water and soil.
Fusu followed the army for the first time, and he was not uncomfortable for the time being, and was even a little excited, he was very curious about the war, and he was very much looking forward to it, compared with before, it has changed a lot.
"How does Childe feel?"
Li You asked.
Fusu said: "I look forward to it, with the teacher here, I will definitely win." ”
They all laughed as they listened.
Bai Zhong has become the key to the decisive victory after the general Wang Qian, as long as he participates in the war, he will definitely win.
Everyone talked and laughed, and soon came to Nanjun.
The army was temporarily stationed outside Jiangling City, Bai Zhong went to see Gengwu again, incorporated the Iron Eagle Ruishi into the army, and then distributed those strong crossbows, in addition to Mo knives and horizontal knives, which were basically arranged in the army.
The strong crossbow is the exclusive property of the Iron Eagle Sharps for the time being, and in their hands, it will play a greater role.
"How well are the sailors trained?"
Bai Zhong asked.
Geng Wu responded: "Fighting on the water, it's no problem at all." ”
No problem.
When the time comes, the main force to cross the river is still their Iron Eagle Sharps.
Next, Bai Zhong, under the leadership of Ning Teng, advanced to the city to rest, and they did not immediately go out of Nanjun, at this time standing in front of a map, studying the next strategy, and how to deliver food and other materials.
"Grain should go through the Qinling Mountains, come to Nanjun, and then send it out from Nanjun, if it goes south from the chasm, I am worried that it will not be safe to transport grain."
Zhang Han pointed to the location on the map and continued: "If Xiang Yan has other preparations, he may go north from Chencheng and sneak attack our grain transportation troops. ”
Bai Zhong agreed: "Zhang Han is right, the grain will be sent through Nanjun for the time being, and I also have another idea, may I ask Ning County Guard, how many troops does Nanjun have?" ”
Ning Teng said: "There are more than 80,000 guards, what is the general's plan?" ”
"I want to take the west of Qingyang and other places first."
Bai Zhong's finger landed on Qianzhong County on the map, and continued: "This piece of land, the King of Chu has ceded to us Daqin, it is very reasonable to take it, this is the fief of the Qu family, Chu can fight against our Daqin, all rely on the support of the four major families, if we can force the Qu family to have to go back to defend Qianzhong, the resistance to enter Shouchun will be greatly reduced." ”
Li Youdao: "The general's plan seems to be feasible. ”
"But Nanjun will violate the law and military law if he sends troops at will."
Ning Teng did not dare to do this rashly, and the consequences of breaking the law in the Qin State were very serious.
Ying Shu said: "I'll find someone to go back to Xianyang and ask for the king's opinion, if you agree, you will fight, if you don't agree, forget it." ”
Ning Teng thought that this was no problem, and nodded: "I listen to the princess's arrangement!" ”
Let's put this matter aside.
Bai Zhong then told them the method of depleting the morale of the Chu army, which was also the original plan of Wang Jian to destroy Chu, not to take the initiative to fight first, but the army pressed the border and dragged Xiang Yan's Chu army down.
Anyway, Daqin is not short of food, and it is not for the army to consume, and with the current small population, there is really no place to put the rice and wheat planted.
There is no way, if you have more food, you can do whatever you want.
The king, the generals, and the generals all felt that this plan was feasible, and the other generals all agreed to it.
The reason why Li Xin failed was that he was young and vigorous, too aggressive, and the general's plan was as stable as an old dog, seeking victory in stability, and Bai Zhong also wanted to be as stable as Wang Qian.
They determined the strategy, and the next step was to go into battle, and the army passed through Rushui, directly to the shore of Fenshui, and approached Chencheng.
All kinds of warships, upstream of Yingshui, down the current, and then into Rushui, are all prepared on the shore, as if they are about to cross the river and attack Chencheng at any time.
Xiang Yan, who had been preparing for battle near Chencheng, led the whole army to wait for it.
They also didn't expect that the Qin army would come so quickly.
A few months ago, after Li Xin's defeat, in fact, Qin and Chu have been facing each other, but they can't fight, Xiang Yan's Chu army has not withdrawn, but there is no peace they think.
Now the 400,000 troops of the Qin State are coming again.
"Don't fight yet, wait for Xiang Yan's reaction."
Bai Zhong stood on the shore and watched for a while, then ordered.
——
The 400,000-strong army of the Qin State came to the city.
The news was soon sent back to Shouchun.
"Didn't you say that you can make peace?"
"What about peace now?"
He said angrily.
The people of the Qu family, the Xiang family, and the Zhao family did not speak.
They can think that the Qin army will not give up, but they didn't expect that it would come so quickly, so vastly, not even a year, and they have to fight again, fortunately, Xiang Yan of Shangzhu State is not at ease, the Chu army has been stationed near Chen Cheng, otherwise Chen Cheng is gone, and the Qin army will approach near the second line of defense.
Xiong Qi said: "With the minister's understanding of the Qin State, Yingzheng will definitely not let go of our Great Chu, even if he is defeated, he will continue to fight until our Great Chu can no longer hold it." ”
Qu Yu said: "Then let Shangzhu State defeat the Qin army again and destroy 400,000 people in the Qin State." ”
Zhao Shao agreed: "If these 400,000 people can't go back to the Qin State, Yingzheng still has a second 400,000 people to attack us?" ”
Xiong Qi shook his head slightly and didn't say anything more.
They overestimated Xiang Yan too much, and at the same time underestimated Qin Jun.
If Xiang Yan and the Chu army have this ability, they still need to be afraid of the Qin State, and they still need to cut the land and sue for peace?
Qu and Zhao's ideas can only be said to be too simple and ideal.
Xiong Qi was planning again in his heart, in case Shouchun City was broken, how he should escape, and even survive.
"This time it was the Qin general Bai Zhong who fought the battle, and the Shangzhu Kingdom had been defeated in the hands of Bai Zhong for a while."
Jing Qi questioned: "At that time in Qianzhong, Bai Zhong was only five hundred people, and if he was surrounded by more than 6,000 people, he could still kill three thousand of us, Shangzhu Guo was really Bai Zhong's opponent?" ”
As soon as these words fell, the audience was silent, and no one could find a reason to refute it.
"Now, what can I do about it?"
He asked them helplessly.
"King, it's not like we're all out of the question."
Ren Ni suddenly stepped forward and said, "Does the king still remember the incident of joining forces with Qi Guo?" ”
This matter, someone mentioned it a long time ago, and then it was almost forgotten by them, and when they heard Ren Ni bring it up again, everyone instantly understood what he wanted to say.
"Great King, we can join forces with the Qi State, and cooperate with the Qi State to send troops from the north while Chen Cheng is holding back the main force of the Qin army."
"This will lead to a dilemma for the Qin State."
"The minister thinks that the State of Qi will definitely agree, if the State of Chu is destroyed, the next one will be the State of Qi!"
Qu Yu echoed.
Others thought it was feasible and agreed to send people to persuade Qi to attack Qin.
