"The traitor Xiong Qi, let down the king's grace, not only betrayed my Qin country, but today he dared to claim the false king of Jingchu, such behavior goes against the sky, we must kill him to repay the king!"

Outside Shouchun City, black flags fluttered, in the endless tents of the Qin army.

The general of the Qin State, Wang Jiangao, sat on the throne.

He slapped the letter containing Xiong Qi's information on the wooden case, his eyes widened angrily, and he cursed in his mouth.

Below, Qiang, who had the most impatient personality, immediately shouted: "The last general asks for his life, leads the army to conquer the puppet king Xiong Qi, and will definitely behead this rebel and dedicate it to the general." ”

Qiang was very excited, for fear that others would rob him of this great achievement.

Pseudo-King Xiong Qi.

In the first battle of Li Xin's attack on Chu, this person colluded with the Chu people and betrayed the Qin state, which eventually led to the defeat of the 200,000 Qin army in Chu.

This betrayal made the Qin Wangzheng hateful, and this person has become the most notorious traitor in the Qin State today.

The Qin people were eager to eat its flesh and sleep on its skin, and hated it very much.

If Qiang Qi can capture and kill Xiong Qi, he will definitely make the king happy.

Even Zhao Tuo, who had a record of breaking 100,000 Qi troops before, would be compared to him.

Therefore, Qiang was very excited, and was the first to ask for orders.

"If I can capture and kill the puppet king, I will definitely be able to crush him Zhao Tuo!"

In addition to the Qiang fistula, the rest of the generals also had their eyes shining.

Xiong Qi is not only a traitor to the Qin State, but now he is also the king of Chu.

Although Wang Jian made Xiong Qi, who was called the king, a pseudo-king, he did not recognize the other party as the orthodox Jingchu monarch.

After all, admitting that Xiong Qi is a serious King of Chu, what should be the great achievement of destroying the country that they have just received?

But the "pseudo-king" also has the word "king" on the name, and it should not be taken lightly.

Xiong Qi's ascension to this position means that his value far exceeds that of everyone in the land of Jingchu, even Ling Yin Xiangyan is inferior to him.

A puppet king, or the traitor hated by the king, a traitor to the Qin State, if they can capture and kill him with their own hands, how much credit should it have?

In the face of Qiang's plea, Wang Jian was expressionless, his eyes swept in the tent, and finally fell on Zhao Tuo.

Zhao Tuo raised his eyebrows, and when he saw Wang Jian looking over, he knew that the other party was going to speak by himself.

He was not in a hurry, and said: "The traitor Xiong Qi is good at calling himself a false king, and the last general is angry, and he can't wait to lead the army to the east and behead him. ”

"Although Jing Chu was defeated, his strength still exists. The last general heard that Xiang Yan led tens of thousands of elite soldiers to the east in Huaiyang, and Xiong Qi took the people of Jiangdong to the north, plus those Huainan feudal monarchs who gathered, and now in the land of Huaiyin, there are probably nearly 100,000 soldiers under the command of the thief army. ”

"The strength of the Chu army is still there, and with Xiang Yan as a general, it should be a great enemy and should not be underestimated. At this moment, only the general in our army can defeat Xiang Yan in person, and the last general will obey the dispatch under the general's account. ”

Hearing this, Qiang's face turned red, and he couldn't help muttering in his mouth: "Flattery." ”

Several other generals held back their laughter, and several veterans who followed Wang Jian to fight still had a sense of banter.

The general did not express his position in the face of Qiang's request for help just now, that is, he had the intention of personally recruiting Xiang Yan, so he signaled Zhao Tuo to speak.

Qiang is a brave person, but after all, he is born a barbarian, strong and straightforward and rude, and he is far inferior to Zhao Tuo in terms of life.

In the siege of Jicheng in Yandi, Qiang Qi greedily chased the bait sent by the Yan people, causing the Yan King's convoy to escape and ascend to heaven, which is an example.

However, out of the consideration of appeasing the barbarians, the Qin State still attaches great importance to the "horse bones" like the Qiang Qi, so although this guy is not popular, the generals do not care about him.

Only in the past, when Li Xin was under Wang Qian's command, he often clashed with this barbarian, and the two quarreled a lot. Now that Li Xin is gone, Zhao Tuo has taken over the work, which is really worthy of Li Xin's "arm".

Wang Jian didn't care about the thoughts of the generals, and when he saw that Zhao Tuo said what he wanted to say, he opened his mouth and said: "Zhao Tuo's words are yes." Xiang Yan still has the elite in hand, which should not be taken lightly. I should lead a large army to the east against the puppet king, and exterminate these thieves in one fell swoop. ”

At this point, Wang Jian patted the wooden case, got up straight, and said loudly: "The generals listened to the order, reorganized the army for three days, and prepared all the grain." Three days later, I should lead a large army to the east to conquer the puppet king and pacify Chu in one fell swoop! ”

"Yui."

All the generals in the tent responded in unison, and everyone's face was full of excitement.

Wang Jian was also bright-eyed, and his old body burst out with vitality again.

He's old.

The battle to destroy Chu should be the last battle of his Wang Qian.

Wang Jian wants to play a perfect record as the end of his life's battle.

There is no room for failure in this crusade.

"Xiang Yan, I'm here."

Wang Jian whispered in his heart.

Xiang Yan should be the last opponent of Wang Jian in this life.

With the general issuing the order to go out on the expedition, the Qin army outside Shouchun City was like a sophisticated war machine.

Reorganize the army, arrange defense, and confirm the belonging of each army and the direction of the expedition.

This time, the Qin State sent 600,000 troops to Chu, in addition to letting the deputy general Yang Duanhe go north and lead more than 200,000 people to continue to attack Chu in Huaibei, a total of 300,000 troops outside Shouchun City.

Wang Jian went on an expedition to the east and personally led an army of 200,000.

Among them, there were 150,000 war soldiers, and 50,000 auxiliary soldiers.

The reason why the proportion of auxiliary troops was reduced was because the Qin army's target this time, Huaiyin, was located along the Huaishui River. Therefore, the Qin army traveled eastward along the Huaishui, and could rely on the boat master to transport grain from the Huaishui, reducing the loss of manpower and food, and did not need too many people to transport.

If the Chu army went south and tried to lengthen the front, the Qin army could also recruit Chu people as people on the spot to solve the problem of lack of labor in the future.

In addition to the 200,000 people of the Eastern Expedition, the remaining 100,000 Qin troops were not idle, except for a part that remained to guard Shouchun, and the remaining Qin troops were sent out by Wang Jian in two ways.

All the way to the south, the Qin army went straight to the six towns of the Chu State, and captured the direction of Juchao further south. They wanted to use the power of destroying Chu to occupy the cities in this area when the people of Chu were terrified, and at the same time block the reinforcements of Chu going to Huainan in this direction.

On the other hand, the Qin army went to the southeast, and then to the east after the north bank of the river, as a surprise soldier to copy the back road of the Chu army, and Wang Qian's regular soldiers to attack back and forth.

"With such a force and layout, there is nothing to worry about in this battle."

Zhao Tuo nodded secretly, this time Wang Jian went on an expedition to the east, whether it was the morale of the troops or the weight of grain and grass, it had formed a crushing trend against Xiang Yan's Chu army, and the result of this battle was almost predictable.

"It's just that I don't know how Xiong Qi and Xiang Yan will fight against me in the face of my Qin State's army going east?"

……

The king raised the flag and called on the people of Huainan Jiangdong to come and join him. Wang Jian will definitely not sit idly by, and within a few days, he will lead a large army to attack. ”

Just when hundreds of thousands of Qin troops were pulling out from outside Shouchun City, the generals of Chu State in Huaiyin City were also planning a plan to resist Qin.

Ling Yin Xiangyan stood in the tent and said loudly: "The Qin army is numerous and our army is outnumbered. Although our army has the tendency of mourning, the Qin people also attacked with the might of a great victory, and their morale is high, which must not be underestimated. And although our army has plundered military rations from everywhere, it cannot last, and within a few months, it will be necessary to defeat the Qin. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone would be in an uproar.

Chu Wang Qi also frowned and said: "Ling Yin's words of analysis are indeed correct, but now Qin is strong and Chu is weak. Wang Jian led a large army to attack, our army is small, and it is difficult to strengthen the city defense in a hurry, how can we resist Wang Qian's army and win a decisive victory as soon as possible? ”

"Yes, the defeat was too fast, and we were not well prepared."

The generals agreed.

Shouchun fell too quickly, they didn't even receive a reply from a few feudal monarchs, and the grain and straw they needed were quite lacking, and in the face of the Qin people's attack, they naturally seemed to be stretched.

Facing the mourning of the generals, Xiang Yan also sighed secretly in his heart.

He originally wanted to rely on the land of Huainan Jiangdong and Wang Jian to drag it down, but now the Chu army has gathered nearly 100,000 troops, and it consumes countless people every day.

So even if you want to retreat, you have to fight with the Qin army first.

Moreover, he may not have no chance of winning this battle.

Xiang Yan took a deep breath and said loudly: "The enemy is outnumbered, and the Qin army has a giant cannon in hand, so it is useless to wait for idle defense. We cannot hold on to the city, but we should take advantage of the location. In terms of location, we are not without a chance to win! ”

Hearing this, the generals were stunned.

It was Jing Tong who reacted the fastest, and he exclaimed: "What Ling Yin said is geographical, could it be that the water and lakes in the land of Huainan are my Huainan?" ”

"Yes!"

Xiang Yan stretched out his hand and pointed to a point on the map, and said with a smile: "In the face of the Qin army coming west, Huaiyin has no danger to defend. However, there are rivers all over the good road in the west and the direction of Dongyang, and the lakes are connected, and the roads are muddy and difficult to walk. ”
