At the end of June of the tenth year of the reign of King Qin, Qin sent 80,000 soldiers to the four armies of Sanchuan County, Hedong County, Nanyang County, and Dong County, and most of the Dragon and Tiger Forbidden Army entered Wei State, and merged with the Wei army with 200,000 to attack Chu.

Yang Ming led Yulinwei from Xianyang in mid-July, and finally converged with the 100,000 troops gathered here on the south bank of Jishui, and then went south along the Jishui River, entered Dingtao, and marched to the upper reaches of Surabaya and Danshui.

When the plan of Qin and Wei to move troops against Chu was still being prepared, the Chu palace of Shouchun of Chu had already obtained relevant information, not to mention the chaotic relationship between the clans of Qin and Chu, just the entanglement between Chu and Wei for so many years made it impossible for Chu not to invest a large number of intelligence personnel in Wei, not to mention, the land of Huaisi of the two countries was the original land of Song, and it was easy to infiltrate each other.

Shouchun, Chu Palace.

Because a few years ago, the alliance of the five countries failed again in the battle against Qin, so that the Chu State clearly realized that it was no longer feasible to fight against the Qin State according to the situation of the joint column, and the capital Chen Ying was too close to the Qin State and the Wei State, but Chen Ying was not as high and deep as the Great Liang, and the Chu State was vast, in order to avoid the threat from the Qin State, and in order to better control the eastern land, by the way, get rid of the influence of the Qu, Jing, and Zhao clans within the Chu State, the former King of Chu, that is, the father of Changping Jun Xiong Qi, King Chu Kaolie, who has become history, moved his capital to the Huaishang fief that originally belonged to Chunshenjun Huang Xie.

In this era, the land in the eastern part of Wu County was naturally vast and sparsely populated, and it was not a good place, but after more than 2,000 years, it would become a demonic place, because that place had the character 'Shen'.

Of course, these are digressions, at this time in the palace of the king of Chu, several important ministers of the state of Chu gathered together, but among them there was no former Chunshenjun Huang Xie, in the last year, he has been his former guest, the then queen Li Yanyan's brother Li Yuan attacked and killed, and now the order of the state of Chu Yin Li Yuan, as the brother of the queen mother, the uncle of the young king of Chu, the position of Yin, the power of the state.

And Li Yuan, a person who couldn't get along in Zhao State and had to come to Chu State to beg for a living, although his means of ascending to the throne were quite disgraceful, he was able to push his sister step by step from the body of Buyi to the position of the empress dowager of Chu State, and he also had his own means.

While Li Yuan continued to suppress the three clans, he also wooed the more powerful clans within the Chu State, such as Xiang Yan, the current general of the Chu State.

"General, now that Qin Wei has sent 200,000 troops to attack, do you have a good strategy for retreating?" Li Yuan asked Xiang Yandao.

"It's just a war." Faced with Li Yuan's question, Xiang Yan's answer was very simple.

"Likely to win?" Li Yuan asked.

At present, the position of Li Yuan and the young king of Chu is still unstable, Qin and Wei are attacking, if the Chu State is defeated, the internal people's hearts will definitely fluctuate, even if he has the support of the Empress Dowager Li Yanyan, he may not be able to stabilize his position.

The state of Chu was defeated, and all that was lost was land, but if he Li Yuan was defeated, what he lost might be his own life, so for the upcoming war, Li Yuan had too many reasons not to lose, at least not to lose too badly.

"Wei has been defeated by the Qin army year after year, and last year it lost tens of thousands of elites, and this year it has done its best to gather the whole country, although it has gathered 100,000 troops, but the real elites are about 50,000, and our real opponent is the 100,000 Qin army." Xiang Yan said.

"Is there a way to break the enemy?" Li Yuan asked.

"To what extent is the enemy broken by Ling Yin?" Xiang Yan asked rhetorically.

"This ......" Li Yuan hesitated, to what extent did he break the enemy, undefeated, and victorious? It's still a big win, but the difference is huge.

"At the very least, you can't lose your land." Li Yuandao, the responsibility of losing the land is not so easy to bear.

"If that's the case, I'm afraid it's going to be difficult." Xiang Yan groaned: "The state of Chu stretches thousands of miles, and while the territory is vast, it also has a long national border, and it is very difficult to effectively defend such a long national border. “

"What does the Admiral mean?" Li Yuan asked.

"The Qin-Wei coalition army is coming from afar, we can exchange our territory for fighters, use the city as bait to disperse the forces of the Qin-Wei coalition army, and then find an opportunity to defeat the Qin-Wei coalition army." Xiang Yan said his plan.

The Qin and Wei armies of Chu against the combined forces of Qin and Wei, if they want to fight a decisive battle head-on, they must pay a great price, the Qin and Wei armies are already above the Chu army in terms of elite, and this time they have an advantage in terms of troops, and it is not wise to fight hard.

"Is this possible?" Li Yuan asked.

"I'm afraid there's no better choice." Xiang Yan said.

Li Yuan glanced at Xiang Yan deeply, and did not express his position on Xiang Yan's suggestion, he was not a person like Xiang Yan who commanded the army, compared to Xiang Yan who only thought about things on the battlefield, Li Yuan thought more.

Immediately, Li Yuan still said: "The general will integrate the troops and horses as soon as possible, no matter what the final decision is, everything will still fall on the army." ”

"In the major affairs of the military state, Xiang Yan did not dare to have the slightest negligence." Xiang Yan also said seriously.

After everyone dispersed, Li Yuan did not leave the palace of the king of Chu at the first time, but came to the east palace where the Empress Dowager Li lived.

"The Qin-Wei coalition is menacing, does my brother have a way to deal with it?" Empress Dowager Li asked.

"How can it be that simple, does my sister have any good plans?" Li Yuan looked at his sister and said.

In Li Yuan's sight, it is a woman kneeling behind the bookcase, her age is not very old, but the age of twenty-seven or eighteen years old, she is born with a flower and moon appearance, which can be called the national color and fragrance, plump muscles and jade bones, picturesque eyebrows and eyes, a corset to exhaust the Chu waist and grace, she is even more special is that she has a slightly rounded face, which makes this Queen Mother of Chu obviously even have a child who is ten years old, but there is still a trace of childishness.

This trace of childishness has a huge temptation for older old men, that is a kind of breath called youth, and it is precisely because of this that King Chu Kaolie forcibly established Li Yanyan as the queen despite the opposition of his ministers, and made her the current queen mother.

Li Yuan has been able to get to this day, although he has his own skills, but the premise of all this is his sister Li Yanyan, that is, the beauty of the queen mother, which is the foundation of his family.

"What insight can I have as a woman, and how can I talk about good strategies?" Empress Dowager Li said.

"However, the elder brother must first understand what the purpose of Qin and Wei is, and only in this way can he prescribe the right medicine." Empress Dowager Li added.

"What is the purpose of Qin and Wei?" Li Yuan was slightly stunned, and suddenly seemed to understand something.

"Sister, this is not knowledgeable, so isn't my brain even more useless?" Li Yuan pointed to his head and said.

"The mourners didn't say anything." Empress Dowager Li said that although she has ideas, how to implement them is inseparable from her brother Li Yuan.

"Yes, the Qin and Wei armies came together, and the purpose was not the same, and although they may not be able to find a way to break the enemy, they can find a way to break the situation." Li Yuan suppressed the excitement in his heart and said.

"It's just that the purpose of Qin and Wei, Wei wants to seize the hometown of Song, and Qin's labor division expedition to help Wei should only be to eliminate the possibility of Chu and Wei uniting." Li Yuan, who was awakened by his sister's words, analyzed, and a clear picture gradually appeared in his mind.

"What Qin wants is power, while Wei wants territory, and what I want is stability." Li Yuan analyzed, and already had a plan in his heart.

When the Shouchun side of the Chu State was actively preparing for war, the 100,000 Qin troops stationed in Dingtao had already divided into two routes along Surabaya and Danshui, and the soldiers pointed directly at the Shan Father and Pengcheng of the Chu State, while the Wei army also moved south along Suishui at about the same time, pointing to the important town of Suiyang.

At the end of July of the tenth year of the reign of King Qin, the Qin army approached the city of Shanfu.

Single father, originally the city of Lu, but was captured by Chu several decades ago, this place is said to be Emperor Shun's teacher single volume lived here, so there is such a name.

Surrounded by 100,000 Qin troops, and the reinforcements of Chu were delayed, the place of Shan Father was very limited, and the Qin army began to attack the city in the morning, and before dusk, it took this city with a population of nearly 8,000.

In the camp of the Qin army outside the city of Single Father City, Yang Ming looked at the trembling single father county magistrate and a middle-aged man beside him, and couldn't help but smile, coincidentally, he could meet a person here who had not seen but had an impression in Yang Ming's memory.

"The Qin army just took over the city defense and treasury of the single father, as for the rest, everything is as usual." In the awe-inspiring gaze of the two, Yang Ming spoke.

"The general is benevolent." As a conqueror, what Yang Ming said at this time was definitely benevolent and righteous, and when the city was broken, the people in the single father city had already done the worst to interrupt, and they never thought that the Qin army was quite reasonable.

"Forget about benevolence and righteousness, for the person who leads the army, this is not much praise." Yang Ming said.

Just when the single father Ling and the middle-aged man were about to breathe a sigh of relief, Yang Ming suddenly said: "However, in the process of attacking the single father, the soldiers under my command have suffered small casualties, should the people of the single father make compensation?" ”

"It should be, it should be." Shan Father Ling hurriedly replied.

Taking the initiative to pay for being paid for, although both are paying for money, they are two completely different things.

"If everyone is as sensible as you are, then everything will be easy to say, so that every family of the rich families in the city will give a third of all their property, and the matter will be over."

"Your official position was given to you by the King of Chu, since now that the single father already belongs to the Qin State, you can't continue to serve as the single father order, Lu Wen, this position will be held by you." Yang Ming had already looked at the middle-aged scribe beside Shan Father Ling as he spoke.

Lu Wen, a very interesting name.
