Wang Jian said: "Indeed. ”

"But there's something I need to warn you about." Li Mudao, "Don't treat Zheng'er as a child. If Zheng'er tells you to do things, you should treat Zheng'er as a ruler. ”

Wang Jian was dumbfounded: "How old is Zheng'er?!" ”

Li Mu smiled: "You will understand if you contact Zheng'er for a while." It doesn't hurt to listen to me. ”

Wang Jian held his forehead: "Okay, I'll listen." It seems that in order to become a real friend with Zhu Xianggong, he has to make a lot of psychological preparations.

It's a big challenge.

"The Chu army has already formed a formation on the other side, how do you deal with it?" Li Mu began to get down to business.

Wang Jian said: "There is nothing special to deal with, I led my troops to raid on the night of the new moon a few days later and burned their camp. ”

Wang Qian's tone was understated, and Li Mu's answer was also understated: "Okay, after the camp is on fire, I will lead the boat division to land." ”

The two of them made this decision, and it was useless to have even a special plan.

In the eyes of Wang Jian and Li Mu, there is no need for any special strategies.

In the battle of crossing the river, they took advantage of the boat division and long-range weapons, and they were already invincible. Next, all you need to do is look at the opponent's weak points and bite the opponent's throat like a hunting beast to win.

Of course, there is a lot of preparation to do so.

For example, they need to know the layout of each other's camps; Know which nobleman and which general each camp belongs to; Look for the right weather for a night raid; Ensure that his plan for a night attack will not be known to the Chu people......

These things, Wang Jian and Li Mu have prepared, it is as simple as breathing.

In the eyes of the two of them, the formation formed by the other party was full of mistakes and omissions, and they could easily find several places to attack.

The Chu people had nothing to threaten their generals—the two of them immediately understood this.

At the same time, they also saw that the big nobles seemed to be in unison, not as supportive of Chun Shenjun as they appeared on the surface.

After the King of Qin was bored, he took Zhu Xiang to discuss the affairs of the Chu army.

Zhu Xiang also saw this.

Even if he is a military novice, he can see from the summary of the recent change of guard patrols of the Chu people that King Qin took out that the other party's military orders are chaotic. There was even infighting and fighting among the opposing army, which is really speechless.

The state of Chu has a vast territory and operates independently, so it takes a lot of manpower, material resources and time to sweep away the state of Chu.

However, when Qin and Chu set up a formation and concentrated on a decisive battle, Qin also took the lead in defense, and Chu became vulnerable.

Now the prestige of the king of Chu has made Chu have no power to take the initiative at all.

"That's why it's important to have centralized power." Zhu Xiang sighed.

There must be many excellent generals in the Chu State, and I heard that Chun Shenjun is not bad. But it's surprising that I can see at a glance that the opponent's formation is chaotic.

"I heard that when the state of Chu was still strong, they attacked a small country, and the king of that small country sent people to lobby, saying that the state of Xiang was no longer sealable, and he would not get too many rewards for winning this battle. Then Xiangguo withdrew his troops. Zhu Xiang said, "This chaos in the Chu army should also stem from this." ”

If the old King of Qin died, the crown prince Zhu ascended the throne, and the state of Chu would be safe, which would also be beneficial to the nobles of the state of Chu, so the nobles of the state of Chu would send troops; But this matter is led by Chun Shenjun, and Chun Shenjun is supported by the king of Chu behind him, if he really kills the king of Qin, then Chun Shenjun and the king of Chu will benefit more, so although they sent troops, they behaved very negatively, and they fought for power and profit in front of the battle.

This contradictory attitude made the 200,000 army of Chu State vulnerable.

"I really want to destroy the Chu State in one fell swoop." Seeing the weakening of the Chu State, the old King Qin was ready to move again.

Zhu Xiang said: "Do you want to try?" ”

The old Qin King asked, "Can it succeed?" ”

Zhu Xiang said: "No." ”

Old King Qin took out the ring ruler from his cuff and smashed it on Zhu Xiang's head.

Zhu Xiang touched his head and said in surprise: "Ji Weng really has a ring ruler?!" ”

The old Qin King said slowly: "I found that I was reluctant to punish you, so it is better to take action in person." ”

Zhu Xiang: "...... Xie Jiweng. ”

Ying Xiaozheng covered his mouth and snickered.

It's funny that my uncle has to thank him for being beaten.

The old King of Qin put away the ring ruler and said, "After the defeat of the Chu State this time, I am afraid that it will be very peaceful in a short period of time, and I can ignore them for the time being." Which country do you think I'm going to hit next? ”

Zhu Xiang said: "I can't see it." ”

The old King of Qin glanced at Zhu Xiang: "Are you afraid of being a master of high merit?" ”

Zhu Xiang said: "Don't be afraid. Who can have more merit than the king? It's just that I don't really know anything about that. Why don't you ask me where I want to farm next? ”

King Qin said, "Then where do you want to go to farming?" ”

Zhu Xiang said: "Stay here and go back after the development of the south is completed." ”

Old King Qin sighed: "You...... Alas. Okay, you're going to stay here for a few more years. ”

Zhu Xiang arched his hand: "Xie Jiweng." ”

Old King Qin said: "Don't forget to teach Zheng'er well." If you delay your homework, you won't be as simple as being disciplined. But your wife misses you very much, go back to Xianyang with me first, and come here again in a while. ”

Zhu Xiang immediately said: "Yes!" "It's time for him to go back and visit his family.

Zi Chu observed the expression of the old Qin King on the side. He was very puzzled in his heart, King Qin seemed to have a much better attitude towards Zhu Xiang, and his jealousy was a little lighter. In a short period of time, why did King Qin change so much?

He looked at Ying Xiaozheng who was holding the cake and grinding his teeth.

Ying Xiaozheng looked up at Zichu, and then protected the cake in his hand.

Zichu: "...... "I won't snatch your cake!"

……

Before the night of the new moon, Wang Jian quietly let the Qin soldiers cross the Yangtze River in batches in other places in the early morning, hiding in the reeds and mountains and forests.

On the night of the new moon, Wang Jian personally led a boat division to cross the Yangtze River.

Li Mu showed his handsome flag, assembled the boat division on the south bank of the Yangtze River, lit the torches, and made a gesture of attacking, attracting the attention of the Chu army.

When the Chu army inquired about the situation on the south bank, Wang Jian secretly landed and began to set fire.

Such a simple plan, Chu Jun didn't even find out.

Because the place where Wang Jian set the fire was Chunshenjun's barracks, the other nobles turned a blind eye and sat back and watched Chunshenjun's barracks being attacked.

Yes, before the attack, Wang Jian deliberately leaked the news that he was going to raid, so that the scouts of the great nobles intercepted it.

This strategy is like walking a tightrope, one wrong step, Wang Jian may be surrounded by the Chu army.

But Wang Jian succeeded.

When the barracks led by Chun Shenjun were on fire, causing chaos, the Qin soldiers sent by Wang Jian to lurk early appeared and set fire to the other barracks. There was a fire in the Chu army.

Li Mu soon led the boat division across the Yangtze River, and the confrontation between Qin and Chu was broken, and the two armies immediately fought.

Wang Jian did not cooperate with Li Muli, and secretly left after setting the fire.

The Chu army thought that the Qin army that set the fire was still there, and while facing Li Mu, they divided their troops to search for Wang Jian everywhere.

At this time, the disadvantages of the Chu army fighting separately appeared, and the Chu army, which belonged to different feudal lords, was not familiar with each other, and there were several melee battles thinking that the other party was Qin soldiers.

At this time, the army did not have a uniform uniform, and most people brought their own clothes, so it was impossible to tell who was who just by looking at the clothes. Even if they raised the banner of the Chu army, it was the one who burned the barracks under the banner of the Chu army. In addition, the military merit system of the Qin State also spread to other places, and the Chu army also needed to cut off people's heads to receive rewards, which became even more chaotic.

Wang Jian returned to the south bank of the Yangtze River unharmed.

The Chu army came to attack Jiangdong and pointed its sword at the king of Qin. This seemingly vigorous battle ended hastily, and as soon as Li Mugang led the boat division to the north bank, the Chu people began to be confused and quickly retreated.

The seven countries are watching this war to see if there is any opportunity to take advantage of it.

I didn't expect this battle to be so anticlimactic, and it was completely unwatchable. They were even more afraid of the might of Qin, Li Mu became famous again, and Wang Qian's information also appeared in the field of vision of several monarchs for the first time.

King Zhao fell ill again.

Li Mu was originally a Zhao general, a Zhao general he personally gave to the Qin State.

Zhu Xiang had long known that the Qin Kingdom would win, but the other party had raised an army of 200,000, and even if two-thirds of them were auxiliary people, he thought that he would fight for a while.

Wang Jian swaggered across the river, burned the opponent's military camp with a fire, and notified the Chu army before burning, which Zhu Xiang didn't expect.

"Isn't it too risky?" At the celebration banquet, Zhu Xiang said curiously, "Aren't you afraid that after you reveal the news, the Chu people will send someone to ambush you?" ”

Wang Jian said: "There is a thirty percent chance that they will ambush me." However, a seventy percent win rate to end the battle in one fell swoop is enough. ”

Zhu Xiang thought about Wang Qian's reputation for being cautious in history, scratched his head and said, "You are so reckless? I thought you would be a little more cautious. ”

Wang Jian was puzzled: "I'm very cautious, not reckless, isn't the seventy percent win rate high?" ”

Zhu Xiang said: "You will only play if you have at least a ninety percent winning rate, right?" And you should also have an unsuccessful substitution scheme? ”

Wang Jian said: "The scouts I planted in the Chu army were indeed able to deliver the message in time when they decided to surround me, so that I could retreat with my whole body. As for the substitution plan, I am General Li's substitution plan, how can there be a substitute in addition to the substitute? That's too cumbersome. ”

Zhu Xiang didn't understand.

Li Mu explained: "I can win if I directly lead the boat division to attack. Whether Wang Jian can win or not is only determined that I will pay the price to win this battle. ”

Zhu Xiang: "...... Oh. "That's right, now Wang Jian is not the main general, the main general will be Li Mu, so Wang Jian doesn't have to think about it so much at all.

The three of them continued to drink, while Lao Qin Wang and Zi Chu were already drunk and fell asleep. Ying Xiaozheng fell asleep in his drunken father's arms, and Zhu Xiang, Li Mu, and Wang Jian couldn't wake him up when they spoke so loudly.

Originally, it was the old King Qin and Zichu who celebrated Li Mu and Wang Jian, but the old Qin King and Zichu got drunk first, which is really weird.

"By the way, what about Meng Wu?" Zhu Xiang asked, "Why didn't he attend the celebration banquet?" ”

Li Mu said: "The Chu people want to get back some face, and they are crossing the river from other places to harass them, and Mengwu is not available. ”

Zhu Xiang couldn't cry or laugh. Meng Wu is still fighting, but we are starting to celebrate, I am really sorry for Meng Wu.

This time the battle between Qin and Chu ended so easily, as if there was no big war between Qin and Chu.

Li Mu continued to deploy defenses on the Yangtze River unhurriedly.

Now that the south bank of the Yangtze River is under his control, he has arranged strongholds that can be supported in chains from west to east, and the Chu people can lead the whole body to cross from any place to the south to form a defense of the entire Yangtze River.

When this line of defense was established, Li Mu's prediction of dividing the river with the state of Chu and ruling it became a reality. The state of Chu was no longer able to cross south.

Li Mu also didn't have the idea of crossing north. He decided to expand to the south, especially to the southern coast.

Later, to support the Central Plains War, Li Mu needed to build the Yangtze River Boat Division into a more powerful boat division that could fight at sea. He set up a warship workshop by the sea and began to build seagoing ships.

After Li Mu built his sea ships, he would expand along the coastline to the south, expanding the territory of the Qin State while training the navy.

Now the world thinks that the south is a barren land, but Zhu Xiang said that the better the water and heat conditions, the faster the crops will grow. Therefore, he only needs to lay down the land in the south and let Zhu Xiang send people to cultivate it, and the grain will continue to be produced, and he can feed the war with war without the support of the Qin State.
