Chapter 321: Eastern Chu Dispatches Troops
"Xiang Qu, Er's mother and maid."
"Xiang Yan has no queen, and Chu will Xiang Qu is someone else's son."
"The son of Xiang Qu is also the illegitimate son of others."
……
"Ahhh
In the tent of the Chu army's camp, Xiang Qu seemed to be echoing with bursts of malicious insults in his ears.
In a fit of rage, he picked up the wooden case with the map and the slip and slammed it towards the tent door.
Jing Tong heard Xiang Qu roaring outside, and was about to enter the tent to comfort one or two.
As soon as he opened the curtain, he saw a huge wooden case flying towards him, Jing Tong screamed, and jumped to the side between the electric lights and flints, narrowly avoiding the wooden case throwing.
Rumble!
The wooden case was smashed into several pieces under Xiang Qu's huge force.
"If I hadn't jumped fast, ...... hiss"
Jing Tong was sweating all over his head, if he was smashed by this thing, I am afraid that his legs and feet would be broken on the spot.
Fortunately, at this time, Xiang Qu finished the wooden case, his anger was partially extinguished, and when he saw Jing Tong coming in, he forcibly suppressed his anger and said: "Zitong, you also heard the insults of those Qin people, these people speak so viciously, it is really unreasonable." ”
The corners of Jing Tong's mouth twitched, and seeing that Xiang Qu's face was flushed with anger, he didn't say much, so he could only echo: "What the general said is that those Qin people are really shameless and hurtful. ”
Although he said it, Jing Tong was actually speechless.
Obviously, it's you, General Xiang, who wants to send people to insult Zhao Tuo and the generals of the Qin army, and give them a method of agitation, so that the Qin people can cross the river to fight.
Unexpectedly, the Qin people didn't have any, but they just sent a group of people to scold along the river, and in the end, they made you angry.
What the hell is this?
"Qin Jun didn't know what he had come up with, and he was able to spread the sound so far."
Jing Tong was still a little puzzled in his heart, because although the two armies of Qin and Chu scolded each other across the water, the Chu army obviously couldn't scold the Qin army.
The main reason is that those Qin people who are scolding are holding a strange-looking thing in their hands, which can not only transmit the sound far away, but also be particularly clear and loud.
Even if the Chu people shouted hoarsely, they couldn't suppress the scolding of the Qin people, and if they encountered a tailwind, the bursts of scolding could even reach the military camp along the water line of Fu Lisai.
But now is obviously not the time to care about these, Jing Tong said in a low voice: "General, that Zhao Tuo is really cunning, and he has no intention of crossing the river at all." No matter how much the general provokes him, I'm afraid it won't be useful. ”
"Well, this Zhao Tuo is really difficult, and now we have been confronting him for more than half a month, if we can't find a way to break it, my Chu State will not be able to hold on."
Xiang Qu gritted his teeth, he was really anxious.
Jing Tong was silent.
In the past few days, the military rations transported from the rear to Suishui have been significantly less than at the beginning.
Most of the grain and grass of the Chu State were transported to Chen Ying's front line, which was only enough for Xiang Yan's 400,000 troops to eat, and the grain storage was getting smaller and smaller.
If Xiang Qu can't break through Zhao Tuo's army and open up the grain transportation channel on the east bank of Suishui, then the life span of Chu State may only be more than these last two months.
At the beginning of spring, the Chu people ran out of grain, the military spirit dispersed, and they collapsed. The Qin army will take advantage of the situation to cover up and kill, and the Chu State will not be able to escape the fate of destruction in 800 years.
"I heard that Chen Ying's supervisor Jin Xia had urged Ling Yin to send troops to attack Wang Jian several times, but Ling Yin stopped him. Jin Xia's words are probably what the king meant. ”
Jing Tong opened his mouth and said the news from Chen Ying.
Xiang Qu's face was flushed.
He hated and said: "Wang Jian is an old turtle, and he is extremely treacherous. His father had fewer troops than him, and if he took the initiative to attack, he was afraid that he would be defeated. Now if you want to save my Chu country, the only way is to break the little turtle of Zhao Tuo on the other side of Suishui. ”
"Zitong, since he can't come, then I will go over!"
Jing Tong's eyes widened, and he exclaimed, "General Xiang, you want to cross the river?" ”
"However, this time I have my own strategy to break the enemy!"
A cold glint flashed in Xiang Qu's eyes.
……
A few days later, the land of Eastern Chu.
The lower phase, where the fiefdom of the Xiang clan is located.
Xiang Yue, who was nearly eight feet tall, was draped all over his body, stepped on his war horse, and looked back at the five thousand soldiers gathered behind him.
This is the last group of soldiers squeezed out of the entire Eastern Chu land.
Among them, 1,000 are the soldiers of his Xiang clan, the most elite force of the Xiang clan, and now they are going to save the fate of the destruction of the Chu State.
"I should lead the troops to Pengcheng to cut off the Qin people's back road."
"Xiang Liang, Xiang Tang, after I leave, you should be very careful, if the war is unfavorable, you must protect my Xiang bloodline."
Xiang Yue spoke in a deep voice, although he was leading his troops to the battle, his mouth was full of twilight.
Xiang Liang and Xiang Tang hurriedly agreed.
Xiang Yue is Ling Yin Xiangyan's nephew, and also the cousin of Xiang Liang and others, and is the only person in the younger generation of the Xiang family who can lead troops into battle except for Xiang Qu.
When Xiang Yan and Xiang Qu led the troops to go on the expedition, Xiang Yue stayed in the lower prime minister to protect the family, and now facing the danger of the country's overthrow, after receiving Xiang Qu's letter, he could only take the last batch of soldiers recruited to the battlefield.
Just as everyone was saying goodbye to each other, a boy in the crowd heard Xiang Yue's words and shouted: "Why did my uncle say such a depressing word, leading the troops to go out to fight and be indomitable, and defeat all the enemies!" An Neng encouraged with this ominous word! ”
Xiang Yue looked sideways and saw that the person who spoke was a boy who was obviously taller than his peers, staring at him.
It's like his father.
Xiang Yue couldn't help but smile and said: "Ji'er is right, our army will definitely win this battle!" ”
As soon as these words came out, a satisfied smile appeared on the boy's face, and everyone was happy.
It's just that when Xiang Yue turned his head and looked in the direction of Pengcheng in the northwest, the smile that had just appeared on his face had disappeared, and his eyes were full of deep worry.
Uncle Xiang Yan is confronting Qin general Wang Jian in Chen Ying, and brother Xiang Qu also took 30,000 people to entangle with Qin general Zhao Tuo in Suishui.
Therefore, Xiang Qu passed a message and asked him to take the 5,000 people recruited to go north along Surabaya and go straight to Pengcheng.
Pengcheng is a hub city, and it is also the supply of grain and grass for Zhao Tuo's Qin army.
As long as Xiang Yue can take Pengcheng, and he doesn't even need to do it, as long as he leads his troops to block the road leading from Pengcheng south to Suishui, he can cut off the grain route of the Qin army by Suishui, so that the Qin army under Zhao Tuo will fall into the danger of lack of food.
Under the surprise of the Qin army, it was easy to be taken advantage of by Xiang Qu, and led the Chu army to cross the river in one fell swoop to break the Qin army, completely opening up the connection between the east of Suishui and the Chen Ying battlefield, so that the grain from the east could be transported to Chen Ying, prolonging the time of the fall of the Chu State.
Xiang Qu's tactics are good, it's just ......
"Can my brother really defeat that Zhao Tuo?"
Xiang Yue was worried.
The shadow of the famous tree, Zhao Tuo defeated Sima Zhaoping of Chu State with fewer victories, and turned his head to break 100,000 Qi troops in Zhencheng, how can such a record not make people worry, doubting whether Xiang Qu can win in one battle.
Especially when Xiang Yue glanced back at the soldiers recruited behind him, the worry in his eyes was even heavier.
The 5,000 soldiers, except for the 1,000 clan soldiers, who were quite elite, the other 4,000 people stood crookedly, of different heights, and the armor on their bodies was incomplete, and most of their faces were full of sorrow.
A rabble.
But there was no way, Chu had 400,000 troops on the Huaibei battlefield, and these people were already the last batch of soldiers he could recruit.
……
The messenger from the east hurried his horse and galloped all the way into the Chu army camp near Fulisai, and sent the news of the 5,000 troops sent by Eastern Chu to the main general Xiang Qu.
"General Xiang's strategy is very good. The Chu soldiers to the east attacked Pengcheng and cut off Zhao Tuo's grain road. Zhao Tuo could only let his generals lead the troops back to Pengcheng to confront the Eastern Chu soldiers to ensure the smooth flow of the grain route, so that the number of Qin troops on the banks of Suishui would be even less, far inferior to our army. ”
Jing Tong said excitedly: "The general's move is in line with what the Art of War says, I am dedicated to the enemy, I am dedicated to one, the enemy is divided into ten, and if it is ten to attack one of them, then we are many and the enemy is outnumbered." Those who can defeat the outnumbered with the crowd will be the one who fights with me! ”
"Our army already has more troops than Zhao Tuo, and now the general has asked Dongchu to send troops to disperse Zhao Tuo's forces even more, so that our army will have a greater advantage!"
"Moreover, the Pengcheng grain road in the rear of the Qin army was attacked, and his soldiers must be worried, the army's morale is unstable, and the combat power has been greatly reduced, this is also our army's fighter! General Xiang is worthy of being the son of Ling Yin! ”
Jing Tong sincerely admired that Xiang Qu's strategy was in line with the art of war, and it was extremely feasible, which could indeed greatly enhance the chances of victory for the Chu army, and made him see the possibility of defeating Zhao Tuo for the first time.
Xiang Qu smiled.
After knowing that Zhao Tuo would raid Fengpei, why did Xiang Yan send Xiang Qu to lead the troops, because Xiang Qu was his son?
No, it's just because in the current situation of the scarcity of generals in the Chu State, Xiang Qu, who has been influenced by Xiang Yan since he was a child, is already the most warlike group of people in the entire country.
Familiar with the art of war, he has a strategy in his chest, and he is far more responsible than several young people of Qu Jingzhao's third clan, so Xiang Yan will entrust Xiang Qu with a heavy responsibility and let him deal with the enemy Qin general Zhao Tuo.
Xiang Qu is indeed very strategic, and when he set off from Chen Ying's army, he predicted in advance the confrontation with Zhao Tuo in Suishui.
Therefore, at that time, he sent people to their Xiang family's hometown overnight, and asked his cousin Xiang Yue to forcibly recruit a group of soldiers in the land of Eastern Chu, waiting for his order, and when the time was ripe, he attacked Pengcheng in one fell swoop, creating an opportunity for Xiang Qu to break the enemy.
Suishui confronted, Xiang Qu wanted to induce Zhao Tuo to lead the army across the river, but the other party was not fooled, although he was angry and angry, but he did not give up, because Xiang Qu still had Xiang Yue's strange army!
To coincide, to win.
"It's not enough! Even if Zhao Tuo transfers troops north to Pengcheng, he may still have 20,000 people in Suishui, so our army is only 10,000 more than him, and the odds are not big enough. ”
Xiang Qu was not proud, from the previous artillery battle in the Huaibei battlefield to the current Suishui confrontation, after a few rounds of confrontation, he had seen the difficulty of that Zhao Tuo.
Although he was furious, he attached great importance to Zhao Tuo.
"There are still nearly 10,000 garrisons at the border of Xiangyi, transfer 5,000 people to me, and after our army crosses the Suishui, we will attack Zhao Tuo together!"
"And I will boost morale, burn the boat and break the cauldron, and move forward!"
"Sun Tzu's Art of War: Nine Places": Burning the boat and breaking the cauldron is like driving the sheep.
"Historical Records: The Biography of the Goods and Colonies": East of Pengcheng, Xiapi, Donghai, Wu, Guangling, and this East Chu also.
The lower phase is east of Pengcheng and southeast of Xiapi, so it should be the land of Eastern Chu.
Xiang Yu was called the overlord of Western Chu, probably because his capital was Pengcheng, which was within the territory of Western Chu.
