272 Hold on, a tie is a great achievement!
"The minister Miliang came on the king's order to meet the king!" Xiong Wuliang bowed deeply to King Chu Huai on the throne.
King Chu Huai laughed twice, and his spirit seemed to be very excited: "The widow's good nephew is finally here!" β
"With noon good, the Qin people are not to be afraid! Hurry up and get free! β
Xiong Wuliang stood with his hands tied.
King Chu Huai: "The Qin people are fierce, and they actually want the widow's big Sima to enter Qin, but the widow doesn't allow it, and the Qin people dare to threaten with a large army...... Is it tolerable or unbearable! β
"The widow is determined to take you as a general to fight against the Qin army!"
"A snow Danyang national shame!"
Xiong Wuliang's face was clean - when it comes to the national shame of Danyang, every Chu person will be touched by it, and Xiong Wuliang is especially moved.
Xianquyang Junxiong fought Danyang mightily, and was surrounded by the Qin army in the case of friendly retreat, but still personally shot arrows, drew swords and fought desperately, and finally fell heroically...... Now that Xiong Liang is on the Danyang battlefield again, how can he not feel something?
King Chu Huai looked at Xiong Wuliang: "This battle is not easy, what do you want?" The widow will be satisfied! β
Xiong Wuliang didn't hesitate: "King Qiyu, the minister wants more troops!" β
King Chu Huai's momentum froze, and then he said with some embarrassment: "Hmm...... 50,000 is indeed a little less...... It's just that it's winter, it's not easy to recruit soldiers, and coupled with the snow disaster that is rare in a century, there is not much food and grass...... I can only give you these 50,000 people. β
"Change the requirements."
Xiong Wuliang was not surprised, and said in a slow tone: "In this case, the minister only wants enough livestock...... At least a few thousand mules and horses must be needed to ensure the supply of the army! β
This is Xiong Wuliang's real request.
In this winter battle, logistics and supply are the top priority.
Mules, horses, and livestock are the specialties of the northern land, and they are precious goods in the Chu country...... Xiong Wuliang opened his mouth widely, and one mouth was thousands of mules and horses, which was indeed difficult for a strong man.
That's the importance of strategy!
First put forward a request that the king of Chu really can't satisfy, and then make this request - our Chu king Mihuai is a good face, so he can't refuse twice in a row, right?
Sure enough, although King Chu Huai's face was embarrassed, he still gritted his teeth and waved his hand: "The widow pours the country's livestock, and he also wants to satisfy the Marquis of Quyang!" β
"Grain and grass must be abundant!" Xiong Wuliang struck while the iron was hot.
King Chu Huai waved his hand again: "Quyang Hou rest assured - this is the battle of Great Chu's hegemony, and you must ensure that your baggage is foolproof...... As long as Wu Liang strategizes and defeats the Qin army, the widow will definitely reward you heavily! β
β¦β¦
At the end of the court meeting, Xiong Wuliang received the talisman and the seal, and was worshiped as a general by King Chu Huai in public.
Zhao Ju and his henchmen remained silent throughout the whole process.
It's obviously a posture to watch the excitement.
No matter how much Xiong Wuliang can fight, no matter how cunning he is...... This heavy snow closure has really reduced the army's ability to move, and no matter how much you think about tossing and turning, you won't be able to use it.
can only fight against the Qin army.
When it comes to fighting hard, the 80,000 army of the Qin State can beat 50,000 Chu troops lying on the ground and eating!
"This battle is the battle of Xiong Wuliang's death." After the dispersal of the dynasty, Zhaoju's henchmen spontaneously gathered together, and a minister said with a beard.
Although his face was full of compassion, his eyes were full of happiness.
"This battle will be lost! Fighting with the Qin army? Stupid too! β
"It's a pity that the young talent of Quyang Hou also has to follow in the footsteps of Xiong Wei and die at the hands of the Qin people......"
Zhao Ju listened to the ministers around him talking about it, and he also took a long breath.
Although King Chu Huai died to protect Xiong Wuliang, he even did not hesitate to start a war with the Qin State...... But it turned out to be good!
Zhao Ju couldn't imagine that Xiong Wuliang could have any way to defeat the enemy in this snowy sky!
Do you see it in the sky, rat?
Xiong Wuliang, a yellow-mouthed son, is going to die at the hands of the Qin people!
β¦β¦
King Chu Huai worshipped Xiong Wuliang as a general at the court meeting, and awarded the latter a military talisman seal in public.
From a legal point of view, this is the first time that King Chu Huai has worshipped Xiong Wuliang as a general.
In the battle of Vanyue, Qu Ping was in command, and Xiong Wuliang was only a rear army commander when he set out.
In the battle of Hanging Sand, Zilan was the commander, and later there was a mutiny, and then the nominally the prince Mi Heng appointed himself as the commander.
In the battle of the coalition army, although Xiong Wuliang was tacitly allowed to be the leader, he only had 10,000 private soldiers under his command when he set off, and he did not get the soldier talisman seal letter granted by King Chu Huai.
In the second Danyang War, King Chu Huai awarded Xiong Wuliang a letter of soldier talisman in public...... Undoubtedly, Xiong Wuliang has proven his ability.
After saying that, after the court meeting, Chu Wang Mihuai also had some drums in his heart.
He is such a character - most of the time he is indecisive, sometimes he insists on going his own way, but after he is alone, he still mutters in his heart, and finally he still admits his mistake.
Now Wei Ran has also fought, the troops have been mobilized, and the general has finished worshipping...... The pride of hegemony in King Chu Huai's heart suddenly dissipated, and it was replaced by gains and losses-
What if we lose the battle?
Isn't the widow a little impulsive?
King Chu Huai was entangled for a moment, and then sent someone to summon Xiong Wuliang into the palace and carefully advised-
"This battle was fought suddenly, our Chu State has been fighting for many years, the treasury is empty, the newly incorporated land has not yet been transformed into national strength, and there are only 50,000 soldiers in the suddenness - while the Qin people have 80,000 people."
"Wu Liang, although you have repeatedly created victories under the words and deeds of the widow...... But in this battle, the enemy must not be underestimated. β
"The widow doesn't require you to defeat the Qin army, only that you can hold the front and not be defeated by the Qin people!" King Chu Huai said.
That's the Qin State!
The so-called name of the person, the shadow of the tree - although the Qin State has not been smooth in the past two years, no one doubts their military strength.
After King Chu Huai calmed down, he also felt that it was a bit nonsense for the 50,000 Chu army to fight the 80,000 Qin army...... It doesn't matter, we don't ask for much, just hold the front!
When the battle is over, we can openly claim that 'the 80,000 Qin army and the 50,000 Chu army have a draw', isn't it also worth boasting?
And...... It doesn't seem to be difficult to hold off the Qin army!
This year's winter has been exceptionally cold. Even Yingdu, which is located in the land of Jianghuai, has a big ice skate hanging at the door...... The land of Danyang, located in the northwest of Chu State, must be covered by heavy snow and a severe cold.
Not to mention the fight of large armies - even a simple march in a column is a problem.
The people of Qin are also people, and they can't run in the snow in this winter...... Even if the Qin people relied on their outnumbered numbers and wanted to attack...... It is also difficult to achieve an effective offensive.
This second battle of Danyang will only fall into a long confrontation, and it is impossible to break out into a large-scale battle.
As long as there are no logistical problems, it is a tie!
King Chu Huai repeatedly advised: "Wuliang, this heavy snow covers the mountain, whoever attacks will suffer!" β
"Although the Qin people can't beat it, you shouldn't underestimate the enemy!"
"As long as you confront the Qin people, the widow will be counted as a great achievement for you!"
"Confrontation until the beginning of spring next year, and the widow will increase your troops! When the time comes, it will not be too late to fight the Qin people to the death! β
Xiong Wuliang's head is full of black linesββ
