Seeing that Sima took over this mess by mistake, including the Empress Dowager Xuan, the ministers of the Qin State were all overjoyed!

Sima Cuo is undoubtedly an 'S' level celebrity.

With this experienced, familiar with the situation in Bashu and a veteran with outstanding records, he will be able to win easily!

"Good! Good! Empress Dowager Xuan was overjoyed: "There is a national captain who has come out, and the Bashu thieves are coming." ”

"I don't know how many soldiers and horses are needed?"

Sima Cuo's face was solemn, even if his opponents were just some wanderers from the mountains and wilderness, he didn't have any contempt, and said word by word-

"As far as the minister knows, the rebel army has captured Chenggu and destroyed the Baoshui Canal."

"I Daqin wants to go south to quell the chaos, the road is difficult and dangerous, the baggage line is extremely long, and there is a risk of being attacked by the rebel army at any time...... The situation is not encouraging. ”

"At the same time, the rebel army was able to conquer the fortified city and destroy the canal...... can have such combat power and such calculations, it is obvious that the opponent is not just a group of people and rats. ”

"In the opinion of the ministers—this is a long-planned rebellion! Aimed at messing up the southwest granary of my Great Qin! There may be support from other countries behind it! ”

The group of Qin ministers fell into deep thought, and then nodded one after another.

It's worthy of Sima's fault.

With only a small amount of information, the Bashu Rebellion was guessed.

"Therefore, I should sort out the key points when I put down the chaos in Daqin!" Sima Co went on to say—

"That Chen Ping killed the monarch and established himself as the Marquis of Shu, although it is hateful - but it is not the most powerful opponent."

"What is really worth being wary of is the group of Ba rebels who have captured Chenggu - they must have strategists around them, and there may be the secret support of some enemy country behind them!"

Sima paused for a moment, and finally said in a deep voice: "The canal has been destroyed, and it is difficult to supply heavy baggage - one more person means one more grain and grass to be transported." The army marched south, so it was even more difficult. ”

"Therefore, the soldiers are noble, and there is no need for more!"

"Please invite 50,000 elite soldiers to go south to quell the chaos!"

In the main hall, there was silence.

In the end, it was the Empress Dowager Xuan who broke the silence, and I saw that the Empress Dowager Mi, who still had charm, applauded and applauded, and praised sincerely: "The old captain of the country has become a country, and the little woman admires it!" ”

The ministers even woke up from a dream, and were amazed by Sima Cuo's cave.

Everyone was still immersed in the shock and anger brought about by the Bashu Rebellion, and Sima Cuo had already analyzed the priorities in an orderly manner.

Presumably, the plan to enter the army is also in mind.

He is worthy of being a national lieutenant!

It's really the Great Qin Gancheng!

Empress Dowager Xuan made a decision: "Okay! I will allocate 50,000 soldiers to the national captain! ”

"The national lieutenant can personally select and select the most elite fifty thousand Great Qin Tiger and Wolf Warriors!"

"If you don't feel enough in the future, you can go to Xianyang at any time to repair a book, and there is no refusal in the future!"

The veteran Sima Cuo's dark face was expressionless, and he arched his hand and said solemnly: "Thank you Queen Mother." ”

In 304 BC, in order to quell the second Bashu Rebellion, the Qin State made a mistake for a general and led 50,000 troops to the south to quell the rebellion.

Even Xiong Wuliang, who was far away in Quyang, didn't expect that a rebellion in Bashu would lead to such a great god!

……

Fifty thousand Qin troops marched south on the official road like a long dragon of steel, waving black banners.

These 50,000 Qin troops are all tiger and wolf elites.

More than half of them were knights above the rank of 'Gongshi' - under the Qin state's military merit system, this meant that more than half of them were veterans who had killed enemy troops on the battlefield.

In the world of continuous swords, it is not uncommon to have been on the battlefield, but if you can cut off at least one skull and retreat with your whole body, you are quite a strong elite.

Of the 50,000 Qin troops, more than half are such elites!

The combat strength of such a Qin army can be imagined.

Sima Coo, with gray temples, was sitting on a chariot, ignoring the bumps, and was contemplating the mountains and rivers.

In front of him, it was the chariot troops of the Qin army that opened the way.

At his side, there was a group of armored Qin army knights, guarding the side of the commander.

A large number of foot soldiers followed behind, winding back and forth for miles.

"Out of the territory of the Qin State, we will form a battle formation and march." Sima didn't raise his head and said to the lieutenant general beside him.

"An army of 50,000 formed five battle formations and crossed the mountains and forests of the border in batches." Sima Cuo instructed: "Once attacked, immediately defend on the spot, and the remaining four battle formations can take this opportunity to outflank them." ”

"In this way, we can avoid stretching the marching formation too long, and we can't take care of the beginning and the end."

The deputy general was a young Qin general named Meng Xixiang, who was not very old, and at this moment he was full of admiration for the lively Great Qin military god in front of him, and the admiration in his eyes almost condensed into a real flame.

Meng Xixiang sincerely admired: "The national captain is really old and spicy. ”

"It's really the blessing of Great Qin!"

"There is a national lieutenant leading the troops, and those Bashu people are not to be afraid - when my Great Qin sergeant sets foot in the land of Sichuan and Shu, those thieves will hear that the national lieutenant is coming, and I am afraid that they will soon be scattered."

"If you go to war, you will be personally commanded by the national captain...... I don't think I, Daqin, will be humiliated by the coercion of that good child. ”

This Meng Xixiang said it very well, much higher than Qu Yuan's emotional intelligence - after saying it, he belittled the Bashu people, Xiong Wuliang, and Bai Qi who played against Xiong Wuliang last winter.

is the only one who only holds Sima Co in front of him very high.

Sima Cuo didn't hear it, and there was no expression on his serious face.

The adjutant general was bored and had to keep his mouth shut.

After a while, Sima Coo closed the map in his hand and said slowly: "The destruction of the Baoshui Canal has had a great impact on our army—but it can also be overcome. ”

"Ten years ago, the first time my lieutenant led his troops to attack Bashu, it was by land - there was no canal available at that time, and the old man laid down the land of Bashu!"

"It's just that there are not many people in our army now, and there may be enemy countries behind the thief army...... Don't be careful. ”

"Fortunately, in the land of Bashu, there are still remnants of our Qin army - after our army enters the land of Bashu, they will be reorganized, and they should also be a combatable division."

Sima said it wrongly, then turned his head to look at the deputy general Meng Xixiang beside him, and criticized seriously: "General Bai Qi is the rising star of Great Qin, and the old man prides himself on being quite knowledgeable - General Bai Qi's talent is not inferior to me!" ”

"In time, Bai Qi will be able to shock the world!"

"Fang Cai's derogatory words about his colleagues should not be said again in the future." Sima Cuo warned solemnly.

Meng Xi said yes.

The Qin army advanced all the way, bypassing Zhongnan Mountain, marching along the forest path, and soon left the Qin mainland.

Subsequently, the Qin army marched in batches according to Sima Cuo's orders.

Both are equipped with cavalry, ready to echo each other.

Although the road was narrow and winding, the marching formation of the Qin army was flawless.

Continuing to walk forward, we came to the edge of [Baoshui] - although the canal had been destroyed and could not be navigated, the Qin army could still march along the riverside on foot.

At the very least, you can be sure that you won't get lost, and the river shallows are much easier to walk than the shallow forest paths.

As the sky got dark, Sima Cuo waved his hand: "Set up camp on the spot." ”

"All the surrounding forests have been cut down, and fire attacks are strictly enforced."

"Beware of the battalions—if there is a night attack by the enemy, they must not go out on their own; Guard the camp and release fireworks as a warning. ”

"All actions are judged only by the captain of the country!"

"Those who go out of the camp to meet the fighters without permission, those who act without a reason, those who spread rumors, those who ride horses or run in stride...... All slashed! ”
