The thieves and bandits in Chudi never dreamed that they were disgusted by everyone on weekdays but now they have become fragrant and sweet.

Wave after wave of messengers or letters were sent into the bandit villages.

Some large-scale bandit cottages even received more than 100 Zhao'an documents at the same time, and this group of uneducated bandits was big for a while!

But it also gives a clear signal to all bandits.

Gone are the days of leisure!

The bandits had to make a choice.

or quietly bring his family members to the Qin State, or select the young and strong to reorganize the army in the direction of Echeng.

Either obey the orders of the people to expand rapidly, or obey the orders of the king of Chu to burn the nobles' food.

The different choices plunged Chudi into chaos.

The smuggling of the servants and Zhuang Jia's secret provocation further aggravated the chaos.

For a while, the rear of the Chu State, which should have been stable, became a pot of porridge!

But the Qin-Chu front line was eerily calm.

January 6, the twelfth year of the reign of King Qin.

Fancheng Water Village, on the boat, Jing Chou said in a deep voice: "The Qin State has completed the replacement of all the officials of Nanyang County and Nan County. ”

"Coupled with the defenders of Qin Chang'anjun stationed in various cities, it will be difficult for the people of Zhucheng who our army is secretly lobbying to play a role."

"Qu Zuoyin's subordinates are slightly at a disadvantage, and now they have retreated to Xiangcheng."

"General Meng Wu of Qin has besieged Inner Huangcheng for more than two months, but Zhao State has never ordered Zhao Wu Anjun to withdraw his troops."

"Zhao Wu Anjun is still confronting General Qin on the front line of Taihang Mountain."

For three months, the Three Kingdoms battlefield fell into a pool of backwater.

The Qin State didn't seem to be worried about the increasingly thin grain depot at all, and accompanied the countries to get drenched in snow.

Even Jing Chou, who was in a strange situation, was very uneasy.

Xiang Yan asked in a deep voice: "Is there any recent movement in Qin Chang'anjun's department?" ”

Jing Chou's face became more and more strange: "The main force of Qin Chang'anjun's department is still studying in Echeng. ”

Since Ying Cheng Cheng broke through Echeng and Xiang Yan broke through Dengcheng, Ying Cheng Cheng led the main force to settle in Echeng.

Then, start learning!

The other barracks were filled with shouts and shouts of training.

But the barracks of Ying Chengcheng were full of loud reading!

If people who don't know see it, they won't think it's a military camp at all, but will mistake it for a college entrance examination assault concentration camp!

Xiang Yan frowned: "Still studying?!" ”

"What does Qin Chang'an Jun want!"

Xiang Yan couldn't understand it and was shocked.

Although after the last war, Xiang Yan already knew that Ying Chengcheng was a little abnormal.

But Xiang Yan couldn't imagine that Ying Chengcheng could be so abnormal.

If it was someone else who made the move, Xiang Yan might laugh it off.

But on the contrary, the person who made such a strange move was Ying Chengcheng, so Xiang Yan couldn't think about it!

Jing Chou said in a low voice: "Shangzhu Kingdom, the Zhao'an Army under General Xiong has arrived at the front line and can fight at any time. ”

"The last general thinks that even if he waits for a few more months, Qin Chang'anjun's department may still continue to study."

"However, the situation in the country is no longer tenable."

"Many generals want to end this battle as soon as possible."

"The last general, quick battle!"

This battle consumed all the grain and grass of the nobles, and used the soldiers of the nobles.

Coupled with the current dilemma of a fire in the backyard, the longer this battle lasts, the greater the losses suffered by the nobles.

Xiang Yan shook his head: "Qin Chang'anjun, who is famous for his quick battles and quick battles, is uncharacteristically stationed in Echeng in this battle, and does not seek a decisive battle. ”

"Qin Chang'anjun will not be untargeted, let alone suddenly change his tactical thinking."

"However, Ben has yet to figure out what he wants."

"It's too dangerous to fight a decisive battle now."

"Keep waiting, keep watching!"

At Xiang Yan's insistence, the Chu army did not move.

However, Xiang Yan waited for more than half a month, and the only change in Ying Cheng's department was that the law recited was changed from "Junjue Law" to "Golden Cloth Law"!

Xiang Yan didn't know how long Ying Chengcheng would have to wait.

But Xiang Yan couldn't wait.

To be precise, the major clans can't wait anymore!

"In Shangzhu Country, the domestic situation is becoming more and more severe."

On the ship, Jing Chou's voice was full of solemnity: "More and more servants are killing the master's family, and they dare to openly declare that they are bandits just by gathering dozens or even a few people. ”

"Then attack and kill the common people in the township, and even attack and kill the nobles, burn, kill, plunder, and do all kinds of evil!"

"Today, there are thousands of bandits in the country, and they are still growing."

"If our army is still in a stalemate for a long time, the country will be worried!"

In the early days of the suppression of bandits, Zhao'an played a very good role.

But with the development of Zhao'an's work, the Chu people were surprised to find that as long as they made a temporary cameo appearance as a bandit, they could complete the gorgeous transformation from servants to commoners!

If you can be a commoner, who is willing to be a servant!

More and more servants have different thoughts, falling into the grass in various ways, and then wantonly satisfying the dark side of their hearts, without any scruples!

It's just because they know that no matter what they do, as long as they accept Zhao'an, they will be written off.

In order to be edicted as soon as possible, some people even deliberately burned, killed, and plundered, striving to make their notoriety even greater.

This leads directly to a vicious circle.

The more Zhao'an, the more bandits!

To this day, a large number of hermits hidden by the aristocracy and wild people in the deep mountains and old forests have emerged.

Even the king of Chu found out for the first time that there were so many young and strong people in his country!

After Xiang Yan was silent for a long time, he looked in the direction of Echeng with a contemplative gaze: "Could it be that this is the reason why Qin Chang'an Jun gave up the quick battle?" ”

"He's waiting for me to mess up!"

Originally, the Qin army had a sharp blade of grain and grass hanging on its head, forcing the Qin army to have a decisive battle as soon as possible.

But now, the Chu army has a more urgent blade of civil strife hanging over its head.

The initiative has changed hands!

Jing Chou's face was also extremely serious: "Although Qin Chang'anjun is a general, he was a lobbyist when he first entered the world, and Qin Chang'anjun was also present in several changes in the Qin Dynasty. ”

"This person is good at military strategy and good at national affairs!"

"The current situation is very likely to be deliberately guided by Qin Chang'anjun."

"Shangzhu Country, what should our army do?"

Xiang Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

What worries him the most is that he doesn't know what Ying Chengcheng is thinking.

Now that he has found out Ying Chengcheng's thoughts, Xiang Yan is also at ease.

Xiang Yan immediately ordered: "Order the whole army to pull out the camp!" ”

"Go straight down to Echeng!"

"Order the Zhao'an army to immediately move in the direction of Echeng."

Jing Chou threw his hand excitedly: "Only! ”

One by one, the warships retracted their anchors and carried the Chu army along the Han River and the Yangtze River.

January 28.

On the Echeng section of the Yangtze River, nearly 10,000 boats of various colors almost blocked the river!

More than 370,000 Chu troops gathered around Echeng, and the banners belonging to the Chu State fluttered wantonly.

Xiang Yan's department finally completed the victorious meeting with Xiong Xun's department.

Stepping on the boat, Xiong Xun solemnly bowed his hand: "Meet Shangzhuguo!" ”

Xiang Yan smiled and returned the salute: "I never thought that when I saw Xiong Houyi again, it was on the battlefield." ”

"It's just that today I can't call Xiong Houying anymore, but I should call General Xiong."

Xiong Xun arched his hand in the direction of Lu City, and said in a deep voice: "Thanks to the king's trust, the last general is in charge of this army." ”

"The last will be terrified!"

"The last general has 300,000 sons and daughters, all of whom are willing to be driven by the Shangzhu country."

"I only hope to be able to help the pillar flag to win with a modest effort!"

Xiang Yan said directly: "The Zhao'an army is full of Zhao'an bandits, and the combat power is available, but the military spirit is scattered. ”

"Therefore, the Zhao'an Army can only be supplemented in this battle, and bear the responsibilities of baggage and first boarding."

Xiong Xun took a step forward, approached Xiang Yan and said in a low voice: "However, please go to the Zhu Kingdom to spare Zhuang Qiu, Chen Li and the others." ”

Xiang Yan bowed his head lightly and responded in a low voice: "Please tell the king, Ben will know it." ”

Xiong Xun returned to his original position and solemnly bowed his hand: "The Zhao'an army obeys the orders of Shangzhuguo!" ”

Xiang Yan said in a deep voice: "Order! ”

"Qu Che's headquarters are stationed in the East City."

"The Fighting Station is stationed in Xicheng."

"Jingpo's department is stationed in Beicheng."

"Zhao'an Army Chen soldiers in the east, west, and north of the three cities, immediately attack the city!"

All the generals of the Chu army bowed their hands in unison: "Only! ”

——

At the same time, the northern city wall of Echeng.

Looking at the boats of the Chu army that filled the river and the Chu army that kept pouring in the direction of Echeng, Ying Chengcheng muttered softly: "It's still here after all." ”

"The army is overwhelmed!"

Ying Chengcheng couldn't figure out why Xiang Yan didn't make a move for a long time.

But since Xiang Yan didn't move, Ying Chengcheng was also happy to be idle.

His teammate is Wang Jian!

As long as he stops Xiang Yan, Wang Jian can't beat Qu Huan?

When Xiang Yan was thinking about baldness every day, Ying Chengchan taught his disciples every day, patiently waiting for Wang Jian to open the victory, sitting and waiting to hold Wang Qian's thighs, and not panicking at all.

It's a pity that before Wang Qian's good news, Xiang Yan's department had already waved down, making Ying Cheng's plan to lie down and win!

Yang Hu said in a deep voice: "The army of Chu Zhao'an has been expanded to 300,000, and the commander of this army is the newly promoted general Xiong Xun. ”

"According to the candidates, this army will be merged into the command of Chu Shangzhu State after arriving in Echeng and accept the command of Chu Shangzhu State."

"After the army is combined, the troops of the Chu Shangzhu State will have 370,000 troops!"

After the five lieutenants of Meng Nan and Cen Bian were stationed in various places, the main army under the command of Ying Chengcheng only had 100,000 soldiers and horses left.

These 100,000 soldiers and horses are enough to fight against Xiang Yan's headquarters soldiers and horses.

But with the arrival of the Zhao'an army led by Xiong Xun, the strength of the Chu army was nearly four times that of the Qin army!

The terrain of Echeng, which is surrounded by rivers on three sides and faces mountains on one side, was not conducive to the Qin army.

In the case of being at a disadvantage in terms of numbers and geographical advantages, heavy pressure lingered in the hearts of all Qin generals.

Ying Chengcheng said calmly: "It's just a rabble." ”

"Order the commander Meng Nan to immediately go out of Shandu County and capture Longzhong and Beijinshu."

"Order Commander Xifeng to reinforce Commander Mengnan's department, and be ready to go south for reinforcements at any time."

"Order the commander Xin Sheng and the commander Wang Pan to immediately ascend the city and defend the city wall."

"Ordered Captain Li Xin to go out of the East City Gate and charge into battle."

"Order the rest of the troops to rest in the city!"

As Ying Chengcheng's orders were issued, the Qin army in Echeng followed.

A quarter of an hour later.

The east gate of Echeng is wide open.

Li Xin took the lead and galloped out, roaring angrily:

"Kill!"
