Xiang Yan didn't answer and asked, "Where do you think Chang'anjun is now?" ”

Xiang Rong subconsciously replied: "Yesterday's scout reported that Chang'anjun was camped on the north bank of Yingshui, and now Chang'anjun should be in ......."

Xiang Rong originally wanted to say that Ying Chengcheng should still be on the north bank of Yingshui now.

But halfway through the words, Xiang Rong suddenly shut up, and his eyes widened unconsciously: "It should be rushing here!" ”

The Qin army is ambushed here, can Ying Chengcheng not know?

There are no clan conflicts within the Qin State, Ying Chengcheng can't just watch the partial master fight here and die, he goes home and drinks by himself!

Since the Qin army's partial division was ambushed here, Ying Chengcheng either marched to Anling City to block Xiang Yan's rescue, or marched to Wuyan Mountain to cooperate with the partial division.

And when Xiang Yan led troops to reinforce the Smoky Mountain, Ying Cheng's choice was likely to be to reinforce the Smoky Mountain!

Xiang Yan bowed slightly: "It's not too stupid, but the reaction speed is too slow, and the problem is not thoughtful." ”

"This should have been the question you should have thought of when you knew that the tribes were going to withdraw their troops."

"With the ferocity of Qin State An Jun, how could he let the fighter plane slip away? He will inevitably send troops to attack! ”

"Ambush is his best method."

"But after the ambush, is there only one option he has to reinforce the Smoky Mountains? He has a lot of options, but the possibility of reinforcing the Smoky Mountains is greater, but you have to consider other options as well. ”

"These are all questions you should have thought about three days ago!"

Xiang Rong lowered his head in shame: "It's a child's loss." ”

Xiang Yan said lightly: "Then make up for it!" ”

Xiang Rong's mind turned sharply, and he said in a deep voice: "Since Chang'anjun may come to attack, then our army can surround and send reinforcements!" ”

Xiang Yan shook his head: "Encircling the point to send reinforcements is a good strategy, but it is not suitable for this battle." ”

"Internally, our Great Chu is already in turmoil, and our army cannot fight for a long time."

"Outside, there is still water and meat on the Smoky Mountain, which can support it for a long time."

"And the only one trapped here is the partial division, and Chang'anjun will probably not venture for this partial division."

Listening to Xiang Yan's explanation, Xiang Rong was a little confused.

So what should I do next?

No matter how you play, you can't guarantee that it's correct!

Xiang Rong became more and more ashamed: "Stupid! ”

Xiang Yan glanced at Xiang Rong, and his voice was solemn: "Since you know that you are stupid, then go and learn!" Go and see! Think! ”

"Look at Chang'an Jun of the Qin State, he is only eighteen years old!"

"He has no father since he was a child, and his maternal line has no generals, let alone a famous teacher, and he has become a general in the world by self-study alone, and he has even destroyed the second of the heroes!"

"Ben will not require you to be as amazing and glamorous as Chang Anjun, but you should at least have the most basic ability to be a general."

"Otherwise, how can Ben rest assured that my Xiang clan disciples will be handed over to you in the future!"

Xiang Rong's heart was heavy by Xiang Yanxun, and his head lowered unconsciously.

Seeing this, Xiang Yan suppressed the urge to continue teaching his son, and said in a deep voice: "Order!" ”

"Captain Xiang Rong led 10,000 Xiang clan disciples and 20,000 regular troops to the east to bypass and take the forest directly!"

"Remember, for the general, never lose the initiative!"

"In the absence of a judgment on what choice the enemy will make, then push the enemy and push the enemy in the direction we want!"

Xiang Rong suddenly gave up his hand: "The last general will take the order!" ”

Seeing Xiang Rong ride away, Xiang Yan's lips squirmed a few times.

Xiang Yan always took Xiang Rong with her, and had extremely high requirements for Xiang Rong, and she didn't have a good face all day long, just urging Xiang Rong to move forward.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that Xiang Yan is very satisfied with Xiang Rong!

Among Xiang Yan's sons, Xiang Rong is not the most talented, but he is definitely the most hard-working, peaceful, emotionally stable, diligent and studious, and promising child.

Xiang Rong, who has so many advantages, should have been loved, but unfortunately, Xiang Rong is Xiang Yan's eldest son!

As the eldest son, the banner of the Xiang family will definitely fall on Xiang Rong in the future.

In today's turbulent world, if you don't have outstanding skills, how can you carry the banner of the Xiang family and struggle in the troubled times!

When Xiang Rong had run out of more than thirty zhang, Xiang Yan finally spit out a warm voice that only he could hear: "Pay attention to safety." ”

When Xiang Rong could no longer be seen in his field of vision, Xiang Yan quickly reined in his emotions, and turned his gaze to the Foggy Mountain again, and saw that the 20,000 Qin troops suddenly rushed out of the Foggy Mountain and rushed down to the eastern slope of Beishan Mountain.

Xiang Yan immediately ordered: "Order!" The Zhao clan reinforces the Cheng clan! ”

While the flag was swaying, the soldiers and horses of the Zhao clan immediately moved closer to the eastern slope of Beishan.

But just after the Zhao clan's soldiers and horses assisted in reinforcing the defense of the northern slope of Beishan, the other 20,000 Qin troops suddenly rushed down the southern slope of Nanshan.

Xiang Yan shouted again: "Order, the Sun clan will stick to it, and the Qu clan and the Dou clan will prepare for war!" ”

When the 20,000 Qin troops rushed to a distance of 500 zhang away from the Sun army's array, 15,000 Qin troops took off the Qin crossbow behind their backs and took advantage of the terrain to condescendingly aim at the Sun army's army formation and launch a diffuse shot!

Seeing that the Qin army was only going to take advantage of the geographical advantage to shoot at a distance, Xiang Yan ordered: "Order the Qu clan and the Dou clan to outflank both sides, and the Sun clan will step forward with a shield!" ”

Qu Che shouted angrily: "Soldiers, the time has come to prove the glory of my Qu clan!" ”

"Kill!"

Between shouting and shouting, the two soldiers and horses of Qu and Dou galloped towards the top of the mountain from both sides, and Sun also walked to the top of the mountain step by step under the pressure of crossbow arrows.

The Qin army did not retreat immediately, but retreated slowly step by step, still suppressing the Chu army with arrows.

It wasn't until the two troops and horses of Qu and Dou were about to complete the encirclement that the Qin army finally picked up the Qin crossbow and ran back into the mist along the mountain road.

But at this moment, another 20,000 Qin troops suddenly rushed down the eastern slope of Nanshan Mountain.

The Dou clan was originally the main force stationed here, but the Dou clan had been pulled up the mountain by the Qin army, and now only more than 1,000 county soldiers are still at the foot of the mountain!

After not hearing Xiang Yan's order for a long time, Qu Huan said in a scorched voice: "The general wants to quickly adjust the Dou clan to return to defense?" ”

"Otherwise, the Qin army may be out of the encirclement!"

Xiang Yan's voice was very flat: "Don't worry, let them kill." ”

Xiang Yan knew very well that although the Chu army had more troops, the besieging side would definitely pay more troops to form an encirclement.

Although the strength of the Chu army is more than double that of the Qin army, if it is used for encirclement, then there are not so many troops on each local battlefield.

And the Qin army is constantly rushing into the encirclement with relatively superior forces in order to pull the Chu army's strength.

If Xiang Yan is tired of guarding, then he will lose the upper hand!

Seeing that the Qin army rushed to the foot of the mountain and launched a massacre against the Chu army, Xiang Yan gave an order: "Order, the Dou clan marches from the mountainside to the east to block the retreat of the Qin army." ”

Dou Zhan hissed and shouted: "Dou clan disciples, hurry up!" Fast! ”

At the cost of the lives of more than a thousand county soldiers, Xiang Yan trapped this Qin army in the encirclement!

However, just as the Dou clan blocked the Qin army's passage back to the mountain, hundreds of rolling stones rolled down from the top of the mountain!

"Get out of the way!"

"Forward!"

The two armies of Qin and Chu roared in unison.

The Qin army did not hesitate to advance instead of retreating, and ran out of the range of the Foggy Mountain along the opened passage.

But the Chu army, which was lying on the mountainside, had no way to enter the sky and no door, and could only scream and bear the impact of rolling stones on the mountainside!

After the rolling stones rolled down the foot of the mountain and lost their kinetic energy, the Qin army erupted into a roar: "Go back to the mountain and pick up military merits!" ”

While shouting, the Qin army turned around and recoiled, and re-climbed the mountain along the blood-colored passage drawn by the rolling stones.

At the same time, another Qin army rushed down the eastern slope of Nanshan Mountain, and the two Qin armies cooperated with the Dou clan to form a front and rear encirclement!

Xiang Yan finally looked at him and ordered in a deep voice: "Order!" The Dou clan continued to advance eastward. ”

"Order, the Zhao clan leans up the mountain to intercept the Qin army reinforcements!"

The four armies of soldiers and horses surrounded each other like tiramisu and fought on the mountainside, and Xiang Yan shouted again: "Ling, Qu's attack the top of Nanshan!" ”

Qu Che broke off and drank: "Go up the mountain!" ”

During the shouting, the Qu soldiers took up their shields and charged up the mountain.

However, what Qu Che didn't expect was that they didn't encounter the attack of the Qin army along the way, and they successfully rushed into the mountain fog!

Without waiting for Qu Che to show excitement, the sound of Mingjin suddenly sounded in his ears.

Looking back, he saw the Chu army's order flag waving, and Qu Che immediately ordered: "Withdraw!" ”

Qu's soldiers looked confused.

General, aren't we here to go on a trip?

Why do you have to go down the mountain as soon as you come up!

This is not only the doubts of the soldiers, but also the doubts of Qu Huan: "Shangzhuguo, what are you?" ”

Xiang Yan's eyes kept scanning the battlefield, and he responded casually: "With the ability of the commander of this army, it is unlikely that he will give up the advantage of mountain fog." ”

"Qu's soldiers and horses began to ascend the mountain from about 300 zhang away from the mountain fog, and the Qin army was fully capable of dispatching troops and horses to help resist."

"But the Qu soldiers and horses went up the mountain smoothly, and there may be an ambush for the Qin army."

During the explanation, Xiang Yan suddenly ordered in a loud voice: "Order the county soldiers to go up the mountain and attack the Qin army!" ”

Qu Huan was thoughtful, and asked a little puzzled: "Dare to ask Shangzhu Guo, who is the general of this partial division?" ”

Xiang Yan shook his head: "I don't know." ”

"Pass the order, if you catch a prisoner of the Qin army, you will be severely tortured, and you must ask who the general of this partial division is!"

Qu Huan became more and more surprised: "Shangzhu State doesn't know who the enemy general is?!" ”

If you don't know who the enemy general is, how can you make such a judgment on the ability of the enemy general?

Xiang Yan didn't bother to respond to this boring question, but kept giving orders, taking the eastern slope of Nanshan Mountain as the main battlefield, and the entire foggy mountain as the background, constantly splashing the offensive line!

Two hours later, after a bloody battle, the Chu army broke away from the battlefield at the cost of more than 4,000 soldiers killed in battle and returned to the foot of the mountain to garrison.

The Qin army also lost the lives of more than 3,000 soldiers and re-disappeared in the mist.

The scout quickly rushed back to the Chinese army and said in a deep voice: "Shangzhu Kingdom, I learned about it through torture by us. ”

"The general of this army is the general of the partial division, the son of Wang Qian, the general of the Qin State, Wang Ben!"

Xiang Yan's eyes were dewed: "It turned out to be Wang Qian's son!" ”

The reason why Xiang Yan was sure that the main general of this army must be very human was because it was only a half-day confrontation, and the Qin army gave Xiang Yan a tricky feeling.

Obviously trapped on the mountain, but the main general of the Qin army played the advantage of taking the mountain as the city.

Even because they did not need to be constrained by the city gates, the soldiers and horses of the Qin army were able to continuously enter the battlefield at a higher frequency speed, constantly reinforcing and supporting, and flanking attacks, thus forming a chain reaction of multiple battlefields.

How can a general with such ability be a mediocre talent!

Now that he heard that the general opposite was actually the son of Wang Qian, Xiang Yan had a mentality that it was really like this.

Xiang Yan looked at the mountain mist, his eyes showing caution and envy: "No wonder there is such a thing." ”

"It's really a tiger father without a dog!"

Xiang Yan couldn't help but think, she didn't want her son to be as good as Ying Cheng, but if her son could be as good as Wang Ben, she could die without regrets!

Meanwhile.

Wang Ben also stood on the top of the mountain, looking at Xiang Yan from afar through the mountain fog.

Xin Sheng said regretfully: "It's a pity that the Qu clan retreated too quickly, as long as they go up the mountain for another 200 zhang, our army can cut off the back road of the Qu clan and annihilate the Qu clan Chu army on all sides." ”

"It's a pity! What a pity! ”

Wang Ben scolded in a deep voice: "Hugh is greedy!" ”

Xin Sheng hurriedly surrendered his hand: "Only! ”

Wang Ben continued: "Don't feel pity, let alone be lucky! ”

"General Xiang is not a mediocre talent, and the competition between our army and the Chu army will not be who has more outstanding strategies, but who makes fewer mistakes."

"If our army is greedy for merit and then advances rashly, it is likely that the Chu army will seize the opportunity and win the battle!"

After an afternoon of confrontation and temptation, Xiang Yan raised her vigilance against Wang Ben, and Wang Ben's mood was also very serious.

In the case of occupying a high advantage, the battle losses between the Qin army and the Chu army were still 3:4, which was a very terrible thing for the Qin army with few soldiers!

Wang Ben already had a judgment in his heart, this battle was very difficult to fight.

With less than half of the enemy's troops, and no baggage passage behind him, Wang Ben didn't even have the confidence to hold on to the Foggy Mountain for too long!

This kind of intense war should not be dealt with by Wang Ben, who has not yet fully grown up!

Unconsciously looking up at the northwest direction, Wang Ben muttered softly: "I don't know where Chang'anjun has gone." ”

Is Xiang a descendant of the Zhou royal family surnamed Xiang and a descendant of the sage Shi Xiang Lu, or a descendant of Jing Bo of the Jing clan of the Chu State? Was Xiang Yan ever named Jing Yan? Xiang Yu's family genealogy and kinship are inconclusive!

According to the genealogy of the Xiang family of Jinyun, Xiang Yan's three sons, from the oldest to the youngest, are Xiang Qu, Xiang Liang, and Xiang Bo. Xiang Qu gave birth to a son, Xiang Yu.

According to the "Luling Xiang Family Genealogy", Xiang Yan's seven sons, from the oldest to the youngest, are Xiang Rong, Xiang Liang, Xiang Le, Xiang Quan, Xiang Zhu, Xiang Ji, and Xiang Bai. Xiang Rong has two sons, the eldest son Xiang Yu and the second son Xiang Zhuang.

According to the "Taoxi Xiang Family Genealogy", Xiang Yan's three sons are Xiang Chao, Xiang Liang, and Xiang Xiang from the oldest to the youngest. Xiang Chao gave birth to a son, Xiang Yu, and Xiang Liang gave birth to a son, Xiang Li.

I have read more than ten copies of similar genealogies and historical materials, and there are six versions of Xiang Yu's biological father's name.

The similarities of the genealogies are that, 1, Xiang Yu is the eldest son and eldest grandson, 2, Xiang Liang is the second brother. In addition, whether it is the names of Xiang Yu's uncles or the names of Xiang Yan's biological father, the relationship between Xiang Zhuang and Xiang Yu is constantly changing between brothers and cousins. The three genealogies listed by Cheese are the more recognized versions of the mainstream, and you may have seen popular science posts that rely on these three genealogies to explain in various channels.

Cheese first apologized to the descendants of the Xiang family in various places, because this kind of family facts that have been traversed for thousands of years cannot be verified, so Cheese chose to adopt the Xiang family as the descendant of the Zhou royal family surnamed Xiang, with the "Luling Xiang Family Genealogy" as the main body, during which it may be added or deleted according to the needs of historical materials and plots, I hope to understand!
