Chapter 270: Race against time
"So, where is Ding Anjun?" The lieutenant general is also having a headache with this problem.
Meng Xiao: "I don't know. ”
The adjutant general complained a little: "As the main general, why do you still run around if you don't command naval battles at sea?" The king also told us to cooperate with each other, and we didn't even know where she was, how to cooperate? ”
Meng Yu handed the paperwork to the herald, and then he said, "Let's just follow the plan." We don't know where she is, she just knows where we are. ”
The adjutant general was puzzled: "We have hundreds of thousands of troops, how can she know?" ”
Meng Xiao sighed with envy: "The most well-informed person in the world is her." ”
In the past, there was the Mo family, and later there was the Bashu Chamber of Commerce that covered the world, and the double-layer news network, I am afraid that even the king's news is not so well-informed.
What Meng Qian envied even more was the king's trust in her.
"General, this is the third time you've asked for a reward. That's not good. The lieutenant whispered writhingly.
The deputy general is Meng Xiao's brother-in-law, and the two are lifelong friends.
Meng Xiaozi was willing to say a few words from his heart to the lieutenant general: "I am alone in the army of hundreds of thousands, otherwise, how can the king believe me?" ”
The adjutant general suddenly realized and admired: "I see! ”
But then, he raised his head again and said in confusion: "But although the king is young, he is a wise king who is rare to see through the ages. General, are you overly concerned? ”
Meng Xiao smiled and said nothing.
The king likes to use technique and power to control his ministers.
Ye Teng betrayed South Korea, rebelled against South Korea, and was spurned by everyone, and the old Korean nobles hated him. He had no choice but to rely on the king.
And he led his troops, thousands of miles away, and didn't give him a handle, how could he reassure the king?
Meng Yu lit the fuel lamp and spread out the map, but his mind was not on the map. The king is skillful and ruthless, but he is cautious about Ding'an Junzhen.
Ding'an Jun obviously reused Han Fei, who was good at "art and potential", but he ruled the county with the rule of law in Bashu County, with clear rewards and punishments, and did not force his subordinates to be loyal, but the result was that Bashu County followed her to death from top to bottom.
The two men looked so different in style that it was hard to imagine what would happen in the future.
The situation on the battlefield did not give Meng Qian time to think, and the army of Qin was steadily advancing towards the mainland of Chu.
This is the battle that will determine the final trend of the world.
If Qin wins, Kyushu will be unified, and the 500 years of chaos in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period will come to an end.
If Chu is victorious, Jing Chu will survive, and the eight hundred years of Chu Guosheji will be able to survive. The pace of Qin's unification will be pushed back a few years.
"The general's strategy is really clever! Thinking about it, Xiang Yan has received urgent complaints from everywhere. After receiving the military information, the adjutant general smiled happily.
Meng Yu was also surprised: "I really didn't expect the common people of Chu to rebel." ”
The deputy general sighed: "The common people thought it was Ding'anjun's troops, but when they heard that it was the Qin army coming, they reported the news one after another. ”
Meng Qi couldn't laugh or cry: "We are naked." ”
Meng's strategy was that the more than 200,000 troops of the southern army and the central army would not move, contain Xiang Yan's main force, and then use the northern army to attack other borders to disrupt the Chu army.
Xiang Yan has the fear of the imperial court and the pressure of war, so it is difficult to stay calm and reasonable.
There are not many options left for Xiang Yan.
The first is to directly send troops to fight with the main force of Mengqi, but Qin still has Ding'anjun eyeing the sea. Once Xiang Yan and Meng Qi are strangled together, Ding'an Jun will definitely see the opportunity and drive directly to the hinterland of Chu State.
The second is to give up the eastern land and shrink the front, which is equivalent to giving up a part of the Chu land, and the pressure from the Chu court will be very great.
The third is to divide the troops and defend them, which is even more embarrassing. The troops that Chu could mobilize were similar to those of Qin, but they had to allocate a part to guard the coastline and a small part to defend the national capital.
Of course, Xiang Yan was not clear about how many people there were in the Qin army. To be on the safe side, he might give up Ludi and die to protect Pengcheng.
Pengcheng is an important transportation town, once the loss of Pengcheng is equivalent to the loss of Huaibei.
Meng Qi: "Once the Chu army retreats eastward, we will attack with a large army!" ”
The adjutant general was also excited: "Oh! The brave have been selected and ready to go! ”
The Qin army paid attention to the movements of the Chu army day and night, and suddenly found that the Chu army had moved!
When the Qin army scouts approached the Chu army camp, the Chu army scouts fled quickly, and although there was a warning in the Chu army camp, the momentum was very small, and the Chu army did not come out of the camp to pursue.
"Lure the enemy deeper? Or is it an empty city? The leading Qin soldiers gritted their teeth and ordered to build a ladder and attack!
There was little resistance from the Chu army, and some people even threw their weapons directly, turned around and ran.
When the Qin army was apprehensive and ready to enter the camp, they found that the Chu camp was empty.
The empty streets seemed to be laughing at them for being too slow to react, and the Chu army had already slipped away.
The Southern Army got nothing.
Meng Xiao chuckled: "It's okay. We are not alone, but we want the army to be on the top, showing the momentum of Mount Tai! ”
Although Xiang Yan planned to give up the eastern land, he also wanted to hold back the main force of General Meng Qi's army and buy time for the Chu army to rush to Pengcheng.
Meng Qi asked the Chinese army to follow the Chu army closely, not to give the Chu army time to breathe, and then let the southern army break through to the south, trying to stop the Chu army from crossing the water and make them dumplings!
It's a race against time.
The Chu army and the Qin army were all running at full speed, and the long running made the soldiers' feet swollen and miserable, seriously slowing down the speed of the march on the second day.
At this time, the Chinese army's doctor asked to see him.
"Sergeants and soldiers are wounded in seven or eight out of ten. When I was studying at Bashu Medical College, I learned a method that can relieve the discomfort in my calves caused by long-distance running. ”
The adjutant general asked curiously, "What is it?" ”
"Leggings! All you need is a strip of cloth and tie it to your calf in a certain way. The healer took out a long strip of cloth and demonstrated it on the spot.
The lieutenant gave it a try, and at first he felt that his calves were a little swollen, but after getting used to it, he felt quite comfortable.
"Who invented this? That's good. The lieutenant was full of praise.
The healer tied the other leg as well: "That's what people in the southern mountains do. Some Ba people say that this can not only prevent mosquitoes and bushes, but also relieve the discomfort caused by long-term walking. ”
"When did you go to the Bashu Academy? I've never heard of you. Meng Qi gave the task of inspecting the camp of wounded soldiers to the adjutant general, so the adjutant general and the healer were more familiar.
The doctor said proudly: "Before I joined the army, I exhausted my family wealth and went to Bashu to study. Bashu Medical College brings together doctors from all over the world, who will teach them what they have learned all their lives, and it is a holy place for our doctors to study. ”
Meng Xiao was also surprised: "This is really amazing. ”
"Ding Anjun said that the patients encountered by doctors in their lives are limited, and if they blindly sweep away their own treasures, it is tantamount to sitting in a well and watching the sky, and one day they will lose what they have learned in their lives in the long river of time." When the doctor talked about Ding Anjun, his eyes lit up.
"My lifelong dream is to teach at Bashu Medical College!"
