The start time of Daqin is reversed by 30 seconds

However, looking around at this moment, the army's food, grass and supplies do not seem to be much.

Why is this?

Cheng Jiao looked at Ying Zhi who rode his horse beside him, that is, the captain of the supply army, and asked aloud: "Uncle, there is only so much food and grass for the army?"

Ying Zhi, Ying He and the others looked at each other and laughed. Although Cheng Jiao had read military books, he didn't really understand these things. Zhi Zhi patiently said: "Your Majesty Chang'an doesn't know something. This time the attack on Jinyang, the food, grass and supplies were not dispatched from Xianyang, but from Shangdang!"

Following what Ying Zhi said, Cheng Jiao immediately understood.

Because the only way to go to Jinyang is Zhao Shangdang, who originally belonged to Zhao State.

Ying directly explained to Chengjiao, saying: "Shangdang is originally flat and fertile. When this place belonged to Zhao State, there were granaries in the sixteen cities of Shangdang. Now the grain and grass naturally belong to our Qin State. Yes, it is much more convenient to get grain from Shangdang than from the six granaries in Guanzhong."

Cheng Jiao said: "I heard that there was a famine in Shangdang last year. Is there such a thing?"

Yinghe nodded and said: "This is true. Although there is famine among the people, the military granaries are very rich. The two largest granaries are in Tunliu and Puji. The general thought that this time, we can Divide the troops into two groups, go to Tunliu on the one side, and go to Puji on the other side, forming a momentum to attack Jinyang directly, breaking the city in one fell swoop is as easy as turning the palm of your hand!"

Cheng Jiao thought for a while, and then said: "What uncle said is true, although Jinyang is strong, but many of the people in the city are from our country of Qin. .”

Yinghe and the others laughed loudly and said, "Mr. Chang'an is extremely intelligent, and his achievements in the future will surely surpass my uncle and others."

Cheng Jiao kept humility on his face, but he was extremely proud in his heart.

Isn't this marching battle that difficult?

Food and grass, soldiers, morale, terrain, strategy.

This time, I am afraid that my reputation will be as famous as Su Jie's in Xianyang, and by then, I will be considered to have real power!

Five days later, the army finally arrived in Yecheng.

As long as you go a hundred miles to the east, Tunliu and Puji are already close to Jinyang.

Among Jinyang's big tents, the first is a majestic old man, wrapped in military uniform, never taking off his armor, his eyes are like a tiger, which makes people daunting.

Wang Dan squinted his eyes and knelt on one side, when he suddenly sent a summons.

"General Pang, report from the front. The chief general of the Qin Army, Cheng Jiao, has arrived in Ye City with an army of [-]."

Wang Dan opened his eyes and looked at Pang Nuan on the stage, his eyes gave off an imperceptible cold light.

Pang Nuan waved his hand and said, "Continue to investigate."

Wang Dan smiled and said: "General, in my opinion, Chang'an Jun Chengjiao will divide his troops into two places to occupy the granaries in these two places, and then form a corner to besiege Jinyang in an attempt to surround us."

Pang Nuan nodded, and said: "Sir, haven't you been waiting for the news of Cheng Jiao's exit? Now that the news is conclusive, is it okay to act?"

Wang Dan nodded, then summoned a soldier and said, "Go to Tunliu and tell Fan Yuqi to withdraw, but Pu Ji's troops will not withdraw until the Qin army arrives."

The soldiers took orders and left.

Yes, Tunliu and Puji have also rebelled!

But the State of Qin didn't know that at the beginning, Wang Dan directly planned Jinyang and Jinyang's nearest Tunliu Puji, but only released the news of Jinyang.

The purpose is to attract Cheng Jiao to go.

Pang Nuan squinted his eyes and said, "Sir, it's really amazing. I admire the old man all his life as a soldier. Tunliu and Pu Ji rebelled. How did you block the news?"

Wang Dan smiled and said: "Old General, don't be surprised, this matter is very simple, as long as someone helps you."

Pang Nuan frowned deeply and asked, "Who?"

In fact, the purpose of Dai Guo's capture of Jinyang was not Jinyang at all. Jinyang is the central position of Shangdang and Handan. The most important thing is to capture Jinyang and win the hearts of some people.

Therefore, in the eyes of Wang Dan and Pang Nuan.

It is impossible to defend Jinyang simply by capturing it.

Wang Dandao: "Those officials who once belonged to Zhao State have not given up their hearts to restore the country. They are all loyal people. After learning that Jinyang is occupied by the Dai State, once they instigate them, they will definitely have the idea of ​​rebellion."

Wang Dan didn't directly answer Pang Nuan's words.

However, from what Wang Dan said, Pang Nuan knew that Wang Dan in front of him must have bigger plans.

In other words, if Wang Dan wanted to kill Cheng Jiao, he could kill him now, but Fan Yuqi and the rebels were forced to withdraw, which undoubtedly aroused great doubts in Pang Nuan.

Pang Nuan said: "You let all the soldiers in Fan Yuqi and Tunliu Puji withdraw. Why is this? If our army occupies Jinyang and these two places, we can hope to stop the Qin army."

Wang Dan said: "The old general said it himself, but there is hope. If we give up these two places, we can get the coalition forces of the five countries to attack Qin together. Wouldn't that be better?"

Pang Nuan is greatly excited, the Allied Forces of the Five Nations?This is undoubtedly what they Daiguo wanted to see the most. Only the Daiwang knew about the previous plan. Because the matter was of great importance, it was not publicized.

Before Pang Nuan left, Zhao Yan only told him that everything would be accomplished by following Wang Dan's plan. At this time, following Wang Dan's words, Pang Nuan couldn't help asking, "I would like to hear more about it."

Wang Dan smiled and said: "Old General, after three days, we will know that now, we only need to do two things. The first thing is to evacuate Jinyang and give this city to Chengjiao. The second thing is, Send special envoys to other countries and tell them that on March [-]rd next year, they will be able to join the party.”

Pang Nuan was excited and asked, "Sir, are you not afraid that this news will spread back to Xianyang? Once the Qin State pours out its troops, we will be defeated. We won't be able to wait until March [-] next year."

Wang Dan waved his hand and said, "Old General, don't worry, it won't be passed back!"

Pang Nuan resisted the doubt in his heart.

Calculating the time, until March [-] next year, there are still close to six months.

how could it be possible.

Pang Nuan also didn't expect that he had the same doubts as Lu Buwei at this time. If the news was blocked for six months, the countries would naturally be able to unite.

But how?almost impossible.

The night Cheng Jiao was in Ye City.

Then he and Yinghe made a strategy to attack Jinyang.

Cheng Jiao said: "I thought that we would divide the army into two groups. One route, Ying Gan, led an army of [-] to Puji, and General Yinghe and I led an army of [-] to Tunliu. Go down to Jinyang."

Ying He said: "That's right, this method is very good. This method can put down the rebellion, and it may take a month at most to be a teacher."

The rest of the generals and lieutenants nodded their heads one after another, expressing their good intentions.

The army rested for a night, morale was high, and the troops split up. Cheng Jiao ran from Yecheng for a day and a night, and soon came to Tunliu ten miles away.

When the army came to Tunliu City.

Cheng Jiao and Yinghe were stunned by the scene in front of them.

Because, under the towers and corridors of the entire Tunliu City, there were no soldiers of the Qin army, and even the flags belonging to the Qin State disappeared. The atmosphere was quite strange.

Cheng Jiao looked at the scene in front of him, and asked Yinghe: "This? Why is this?"

Ying He frowned wildly, and immediately turned to a group of people on the side, saying: "Go to the city quickly, find out what's going on, and send out a signal if there is any change."

Tan Ma led the order to go.

After half an hour, they came back from the city one after another.

Everyone showed surprise, and immediately reported back: "General, there are indeed only ordinary people in the city. The last general asked some people, and they said that the Qin army has all left, and took their mules, horses and livestock with them."

"what?"

All the captains raised their eyes.

Yinghe immediately said: "It's broken, Mr. Chang'an, there may be a mutiny in Tunliu."

When Cheng Jiao heard this, he was shocked. You know, this is their granary. The mutiny happened, so what about the food?

Afterwards, Cheng Jiao and Yinghe immediately walked into Tunliu with the army without further delay.

On the streets, countless people stared blankly at the Qin army entering the city, their complexions were sallow, and they walked weakly. In some places there were dead bodies on the ground, and no one stopped them.

What's happening here?

Cheng Jiao and Yinghe asked, "Uncle, what happened?"

Ying He also frowned and said, "When we get to the county government, send someone to investigate immediately."

The army quickly occupied the original city tower and various passages, and the two also ordered people to visit around to ask what happened to the fallen.

Soon, in the hall of the county government, a guard hurried in from the outside and said, "General, something is wrong!"

Cheng Jiao's heart beat wildly, and he asked, "What's going on, please explain in detail."

The soldiers hurriedly said: "In the whole Tunliu, there is not a single strong man now, all of them are old and weak women and children, and the granary has also been carried away. The last general also specially called a few brothers to investigate the fields around Tunliu, and found All the crops in the farmland were harvested, and the food that could not be harvested, and those that were too late to harvest were all burned by the rebels. The mules, horses, livestock, and livestock in the people's homes were all taken away. I haven't eaten in the sun, so I can only wrap my belly in water."

Ying He, Ying Zhi, and Cheng Jiao all stood up in shock.

Can't believe what's happening right in front of you.

Ying He said: "From this point of view, the fights and murders in the city are not difficult to understand. The original official in Tunliu was either captured or defected. The control collapsed and people killed and robbed food."

Chapter 352 Su Jie, Wang Dan, and Lu Buwei hold hands to form a dragon

Cheng Jiao's face was furious, and said: "If these rebels are caught by me, they will have to sit down and kill them."

Without food, it means that the speed of the march will be greatly delayed.

Ying Zhi said: "Mr. Chang'an, the luggage brought by our army from Guanzhong is enough for our army to support for a month. I think that the surprise attack on Jinyang should be quickly rectified and Jinyang should be captured. , Send a special envoy to Xianyang to ask for food and grass."

Cheng Jiao heard the words and nodded.Said: "That's right!"

Suddenly, there was a loud noise coming from the door, Cheng Jiao looked at it and immediately asked, "What's going on."

A school lieutenant hurried over from outside and said, "General, the people have no food to eat, so they surrounded the county government and said they want us to distribute food."

Yingzhi is the captain of the supply army, and he is in charge of food. The army can't eat enough of this food, so how can it be distributed to the people.

However, if the people don't take care of it, there will inevitably be great chaos.

Moreover, these are all Qin people. If they are allowed to starve to death, there will inevitably be huge disturbances in the court. Such a result is not something they can afford.

This is the tactic of clearing the field with a vertical wall.

Although everyone knew the plan of the rebels, they had to make countermeasures.

Cheng Jiao thought for a while and said: "The people can't let them live and die. If you win the general, this matter will be left to you. Count the people in the city, distribute our army's food and grass to them, and send someone to go to the army immediately. Xianyang asks for help, and another group of people is sent to Jinyang to visit relatives, this battle must be resolved quickly!"

Win straight away.

Cheng Jiao looked at Ying Zhi who was leaving, and continued to say to a captain, "You send some people to manage the government affairs of the entire village, and there must be no troubles."

Following a series of arrangements, Cheng Jiao finally calmed down a little.

An hour later, Cheng Jiao came to the top of the city in a state of distraught, and looked at the streets of the city, the people rushing from all directions, all women, old people and children, punched heavily on the wall of the city tower.

There is only so much food.

The army still had to eat, and what was distributed was gruel with few grains of rice in it, but even so, these people were ecstatic.

The next day.

It was just dawn, and the messengers came back from the battlefield one after another. In the hall, "General, general, all the rebels in Jinyang City have escaped."

Several people immediately stood up from their seats and asked, "Are you sure you escaped? How is it in the city?"

The soldier said: "We all entered the city, but we didn't find the Dai army. Moreover, the people in Jinyang were not searched, and the Dai army left without taking anything away."

Cheng Jiao was overjoyed when he heard the words, yesterday's haze was swept away instantly, he clapped his hands and said, "Great, Uncle, these acting troops are probably afraid of our [-] Qin army, and they don't want to cause more casualties, so they left directly."

Ying He thought about it carefully, and then said: "I'm afraid, this is the only reason. Most of the people in Jinyang are from our Qin Dynasty. If we reject the city, we are not afraid of the Dai army to attack, but the Dai army is different. This master will be straightforward."

Yingzhun suddenly said, "General, the last general is willing to lead people to Jinyang to occupy the city, fearing great changes."

Yinghe also followed and said: "It should be so. Jinyang has abundant grain and grass reserves. It just so happens that after Ying Zhun is gone, he can mobilize grain and grass to store in order to relieve the crisis."

Cheng Jiao was overjoyed when he heard the words, and said: "Okay, General Winning will go quickly, occupy the city, and stay behind closed doors to prevent the counterattack of the acting army. I will give you 2 horses. Remember, once you arrive in Jinyang, you will immediately send a message to the army. I, within five days, send people to deliver food and grass to the village."

If Jinyang can transport grain, it would be all right to ask for help.

It's only half a month since I left Xianyang, and I'm going to ask for help, and I don't look good. Naturally, if I can't ask for help, I won't ask for it.

After winning the general order, he left Tunliu happily.

Cheng Jiao looked at Ying Zhun's leaving figure, and said, "Unexpectedly, this time, Jinyang was taken back so easily."

Ying He said: "Our Qin army is approaching, and the enemy will naturally know that they are invincible. If it were me, they would also retreat."

Cheng Jiao nodded with a smile, and said: "After two days, Ying Zhun has received the definite news, and then we can report the victory back to Xianyang."

All the captains were overjoyed.

This time, the soldiers did not kill the enemy, although they did not kill the generals, but the titles of Qin Guodu and above are counted according to the city. This time, they also captured two cities.

After returning to Xianyang, he will naturally be rewarded by the king.

Two days later.
