The Chu army camp outside the city of Chen Ying, Huaibei.

Xiang Qu excitedly walked into the commander's tent and shouted, "Father, the Qi State has sent troops!"

Xiang Yan's face was full of calmness, he sat in front of the eucalyptus, looking at the unfolded map, his eyes wandering on it.

Hearing his son's excited voice, Xiang Yan raised his head and reprimanded: "How old are you, as a general of the first army, you are still so reckless all day long, how can you take on a big responsibility alone in the future."

Although he said this, Xiang Yan still had a surging smile on his face.

Xiang Qu laughed, walked to the eucalyptus and knelt on the ground, stretched out his hand and pointed to the map on it and said, "Father, you see, now that the Qi State has 100,000 troops in Zhencheng, as long as the troops are sent westward, they can attack Puyang at close range, take Dingtao from afar, and go straight to the eastern county of Qin State. If the Qi army has the heart, they can even take advantage of the fact that the Qin army is being dragged here by us, directly penetrate the East County and go straight to the Xingyang granary of Sanchuan County of the Qin State!"

"The back road was attacked, the Qin army ran out of food, and Wang Jian must return to the division. Once we return to the division, we will show flaws, and we will be our fighters, and then we will repeat what happened to Li Xin last year!"

"Breaking Wang Qian's army of 600,000, my father is going to create a shocking victory!"

Speaking of this, Xiang Qu laughed loudly, as if he had seen the appearance of a big victory.

Xiang Yan waited for him to finish laughing, and then said coldly: "You think well, if the Qi people can really go straight to the Xingyang granary and cut off the Qin army's back road as you said, then for so many years, how can they stay alone in the east corner and sit back and watch the destruction of the four kingdoms?"

"Qi people, not enough to be ashamed."

As he spoke, Xiang Yan's voice became deeper and lower: "The reason why the Qi State sent troops this time was not only because of Songyang Jun's request for help, but also because the people of the four countries who stayed in the Qi State helped them, and they won after assassinating the Qi Prime Minister and supported Gongzi Tian to take power, so the Qi State began to change its attitude of not participating in the war in the past."

"But the Qi people are not stupid, they will not do it before we and the Qin army have a victory, that would not only not be beneficial to them, but would add to the risk."

"They are just stationing troops to deter now, and they will not make the next move until we and the Qin army really fight, and the Qi people wait and see where the wind goes."

"But this is enough, there is a Qi army threatening the eastern county of Qin, Wang Jian will definitely transfer a group of men and horses to the north to weaken the combat power of the Qin army here. Moreover, there is a threat from the Qin army, and there must be some scruples between marching and fighting, at least it can give our army a better chance of victory in this battle."

Xiang Yan still didn't say a word, that is, in the war between him and Wang Qian, if the Chu army was really defeated. At that time, the Qi army saw the defeat of the Chu army, and in order to prevent the Chu state from falling, it was very likely to launch a large-scale attack and force the Qin army to return to the division.

In this way, it will be able to buy time for the Chu State to regroup its forces, so that the Chu State will not be destroyed in a battle.

This is also the purpose of the Qi State not moving the troops this time, they just don't want the Chu State to fall into the country, and they don't really want to fight the Qin State.

Seeing that his father's words were low, his faith was not very strong.

Xiang Qu couldn't help but say, "Why is my father so low, now that the Qi State is threatening the Eastern County of the Qin State, it is equivalent to guarding the eastern gateway for my Chu State. Even if the Qi army does not take the initiative to attack, the pressure on our Chu State in the eastern border will be greatly reduced. Can the troops and baggage in Ludi, Pengcheng, Fanghe, and the surrounding areas be transferred to Chen Ying?"

….

"This time, the Qin army will transfer one more men and horses to the north, and our army can be supplemented with one more man, which can shorten the gap with Wang Qian's troops, and when it comes to the decisive battle, it can also get more life."

"There's some truth to what you're saying." Xiang Yan nodded, but said worriedly: "It's just that the Qi army has not fought for more than forty years after all, and if it is broken by the Qin army in Dongjun, then the Fang and the abundant land of our Chu State will be in danger."

Xiang Qu said with a smile: "Father is too worried, in my opinion, even if Wang Jian sends a group of men and horses to Dongjun, it will be only 30,000 or 40,000 at most, in the face of 100,000 Qi troops, the Qin army can only be on the defensive, and keep the eastern county of Qin State from losing, and it is already a victory if the back road is not lost, how can he take the initiative to fight against the Qi army, and even defeat the Qi army?"

"The Qi country is a whole army of 100,000!"

"Even if it's 100,000 pigs, it's not that easy to deal with!"

Xiang Yan sighed slightly, and then said, "

In this case, then transfer part of the military strength of Ludi, Fanghe and Fengpei Pengcheng. The more people there are, the more chance you can win in the battle with Wang Qian."

Speaking of this, Xiang Yan's eyes flashed with longing.

"As long as I can defeat Wang Jian here, then everything will not be a problem!"

……

Qi-Qin border.

Zhencheng, the ancient Razor.

The land of the ancient Huaxu clan, where the tomb of Emperor Yao is located, the battle of Chengpu in the Spring and Autumn Period of Jin and Chu took place here, so the geographical location of Zhencheng is very important, and it is a place where soldiers must fight.

Now, outside Zhen City, the military camps are everywhere, countless flags are flying in the sky, people are neighing, a noisy scene, and the sound is endless.

In a tent.

Zhang Liang sat alone in front of the eucalyptus, holding the wine and taking a sip of the wine inside.

Although he is a man, he likes to wear white clothes, and his face is beautiful, his facial features are small and exquisite, and if he puts his long hair down, he looks like a beautiful woman from a distance.

At this moment, the curtain of the military tent was suddenly lifted, and two men with angry faces strode in.

"I'm so angry, this Tian Chong is just a vertical man who can't be supported, what kind of rotten wood stupid material, he can also be sent to lead an army of 100,000!"

Gongsun Xin sat down angrily, picked up the wine on the eucalyptus, and drank it bitterly.

Han Cheng, the former Korean Hengyang Jun, quickly regained his composure.

He sat in front of the eucalyptus, looked at Zhang Liang, who was looking at them with a smile, sighed and said, "Ovary, you are right. Na Tian Chong really didn't want to send troops to attack Qin, he just wanted to support his troops here and sit back and watch the decisive battle between Qin and Chu."

Gongsun Xin took over the conversation and said angrily, "What a short-sighted person. This time, all the Qin troops were gathered under Wang Qian's command, and the Qi State suddenly sent troops, and the Qin State must be unprepared, Tian Chong led this 100,000 army to penetrate the East County of Qin State all the way to the land of Xingyang of Qin State, as long as a fire burned the granary of Xingyang, then Wang Qian's 600,000 army will definitely be defeated!"

"The Qin army was defeated by Li Xin last year, and today it is the fiasco of Wang Qian, under the loss of hundreds of thousands of troops, the national strength must be greatly damaged, this is our opportunity to restore the country!"

"When the time comes, not only my Korea, but even Wei and Zhao can restore their society and return to the confrontation between the countries in the past, which will also be beneficial to his Qi country!"

"On the contrary, he Qi State stationed troops here, which seems to threaten the Qin army, but in fact, it gives the Qin people time to transfer troops and prepare, and when the Qin army comes to Dongjun and all the defense preparations are completed, can he Qi Guoan have another chance to attack Xingyang?"

….

Listening to the complaints and sighs of the two Korean clansmen, Zhang Liang said: "Tian Jiao, although he is in the same party as us, he is the clan of Qi after all, and everything is based on the interests of Qi State, so he will order Tian Chong to be a general, and the troops will be stationed here to watch. It's hard for us to criticize that."

"Now that we let the Qi State send troops, it is already a big progress, don't force Tian Chong to enter the Qin Realm again, that will easily cause the Tian clan to turn against you. Let's wait for a while, let's drink here with the Qi people first, and see how the war in Nachu goes."

Saying that, Zhang Liang invited the two Korean clans to drink and relax.

Seeing that Hengyang Jun and Gongsun Xin both raised their glasses to eliminate their sorrows, Zhang Liang's smile faintly revealed a trace of sorrow.

The reason why he didn't pay much attention to the fact that the Qi army took the initiative to attack, in addition to the reasons he just said, was that according to his observations during this time.

The state of Qi, which has not fought in forty years, this so-called 100,000 army is really indescribable, and it is even inferior to the Korean soldiers in the past.

Just with these local chickens and dogs, they also want to penetrate the eastern county of Qin and burn down the Xingyang granary?

It is better not to send troops for the time being, and the troops stationed on the border will pose a threat and pressure to the Qin State.

Zhang Liang sighed softly, and the sorrow in his heart was even worse.

……

Just when the border of the Qi State was on the wall, and the Chu State began to recruit the Chu army from Ludi, Fengpei, Fanghe and other places to go west to Chen Ying for support.

The Qin general Zhao Tuo also led 20,000 elites under his command, along the chasm all the way north, and arrived in Chenliu after about ten days.

Outside the city, a pair of brothers had been waiting for a long time.

"General Zhao!"

Dongjun who took off
