Jingtan finally said: "Of course, we are just putting forward our own suggestions on this frontline battle, but I ask General Xiang to make his own decision, but remember the popular opinion, the king's will, and the old minister has nothing to do with others, but only wants to repel the Qin army. , and restore the stability of Chu.”

Jingtan's words immediately snapped back what Xiang Liang was about to say.

No doubt also told Xiang Liang.

If you want rights, we will give them to you, but you also have to consider our situation.

Now that he agreed, Xiang Liang definitely had no reason to continue to hold on to saying goodbye and returning to his hometown, and then he stopped talking, letting Li Yuan give orders, stamping the seals of Ling Yin and the king of Chu, and left Shouchun in stride .

In the big tent of the shogunate.

Xiang Yan and a group of generals from all ethnic groups stood in front of the special envoy of the king of Chu.

The special envoy read out the king's letter: Generals of Qin and Chu are coming soon, and all strategic deployments are decided by the general Xiang Yan. Lead the troops to defeat the Qin army in order to revive the hegemony of the Great Chu. Today, the widows sent the masters of the Imperial Medical Office to join the army to deal with the general's illness. I will discuss the rest after defeating Qin.

The faces of the generals all changed slightly at this moment.

Sweep away the previous attitude.

Xiang Yan drew his salary from the bottom of the pot like this, so that the aristocratic family could only recognize Xiang Yan's complete general power under the pressure of having no generals to choose, so they secretly informed their generals not to confront Xiang Yan.

Wait until Xiang Yan meets again.

Only then did he talk to Xiang Liang about the attitude of the government and the opposition.

Xiang Liang said: "Father, the pursuit of quick victory has become the only theory in the temple."

Xiang Yan's eyes darkened.

"Temple, trade with the old man? Use the power of the whole army for the old man to fight quickly?"

"It's hard to reverse this situation."

After Xiang Yan heard this, she slapped the table angrily for a long time, Huanran couldn't say a word, and said in pain: "A compromise! Otherwise, I, Xiang Yan, really won't fight."

……

In the big tent of the Anling shogunate.

General Qin's entire army was in awe, and all the ministries assembled.

Su Jie sat at the head of the hall, looked at the soldiers who were asking for the battle, and said immediately: "I know that the generals want to fight, but I ask the generals to wait for a while, and when the time comes, I will make a full effort."

The soldiers immediately looked at each other one by one.

Only then did Su Jie point to the sand table in front of him.

Said: "At this time, if the Chu army can purge the army, deep ditches and high fortifications, relying on the Huai River, the two natural dangers of the river and the river to resist, as long as there is no civil strife in Chu, it is almost impossible for our army to win."

Zhang Han looked, because he had already fought against Chu.

This time, he agrees with Su Jie's words even more.

The state of Chu cannot be judged by its superficial strength at all. This country is too big and too old.

Zhang Han said: "The last general agrees with the Duke."

Wang Ben, Yang Duanhe, Zhao Tuo, and others looked over inquiringly.

Now let’s say that the defeat of the Qin State was indeed like what Xiang Yan said in the State of Chu. To clean up military discipline, it was the defeat of a weak army. On the occasion of Xiang Yan's division of troops.

At this time, the Qin army's January repairs had already been full of fighting spirit.

Zhang Han saw that the generals were puzzled, and then added: "Only so, the final general believes that Xiang Yan's strategy this time is still to retreat to Huainan and give up all the land in Huaibei. The time for food and grass, and now that the Huns are in distress in northern China in Qin State, wars will inevitably break out during this period, and the various departments of our army in the Central Plains will also divide the army. Once our army makes any move, the Chu army will inevitably Knowing how to do a blitzkrieg is almost a nine out of ten chance of winning."

Zhang Han, this explanation.

The generals in the account suddenly fell into thinking.

Looking at the two dangerous rivers on the sand table, I felt a chill for a while.

Moreover, Zhang Han's rhetoric was actually what Li Xin thought when he was the general, but as the deputy general, he did not say anything to argue with Li Xin.

A small thought ruined the lives of 5 people in the Qin army.

This is the importance of being a general.

It's embarrassing.

Su Jie nodded appreciatively, and said, "General Zhang, there will be great achievements in the future!"

After Zhang Han heard this, he was immediately terrified, and immediately cupped his hands and said: "The last general is wearing the body of a crime, so I dare not be a prince to praise like this."

Su Jie didn't continue talking, and said: "What General Zhang said, in fact, is what I think, and it is exactly the same. From a more fundamental point of view, if the whole state of Chu can see the overall situation, it will be difficult to fight against Qin. Taking advantage of the opportunity, we will carry out military reforms, clean up the court situation, and clean up the national power. It is very possible that the Chu State will rise in a difficult situation. If Qin State wants to attack Chu again, it will be as difficult as going to the sky."

"Why is this so? Geography dictates it!"

All the generals looked at the two natural dangers of Chu State in Huaibei, one is the Huai River, which is the land of Huaibei, and the other is the Yangtze River, which was ruled by Rucheng!It's going to be too difficult if you want to fight it.

Su Jie said: "The state of Chu is not the five countries of the Central Plains. There are Huai Rivers and rivers in the front, Wuyue in the southeast is protected by the vast Zhenze, and the southwest is protected by the vast and vast Yunmengze. The water is densely covered with water nets, and there are five ridges stretching across the jungle. If this Chu State, or Xiang Yan, shrinks the defense line in order to hold on, Qin State will be difficult to break, and I have nothing to do. The general situation of the world, now, Qin Mie Chu, if nothing else, in the temples of Chu State, you will definitely not understand the overall situation, and you will definitely seek quick battles and quick victories. When I read this, I am very happy, but it is also pity for Chu State.”

Just now.

Outside the account, suddenly a report was sent quickly.

"Duke, the Chu army has moved!"

Since more than a month.

Qin Guo didn't move, but the actions he made were telling Chu State that Qin State was coming.

Chu State didn't move either, but it seemed that he wanted to move very much, but he was suppressed by Xiang Yan, or in other words, they were all waiting for the other party to move.

After all, in this temple.

In the end, it was still calculated by Su Jie.

However, how Xiang Yan moved, this point is undoubtedly what people are most looking forward to, and it is also a competition. The key to this battle is if Xiang Yan refuses to give up Huaibei.

He vowed to use 60 troops to resist the Qin army in Chendi and Huaibei.

There is no doubt that the Chu army was defeated.

But if Xiang Yan retreats to Rucheng, abandons Rucheng, takes another step back, and confronts the Qin army in Rucheng, then the Qin army will definitely be defeated because of the unbearable long-term battle!

All the soldiers looked sideways.

There was a faint beating in my heart.

Over the past few days, since the strategy has been confirmed, it will naturally not be changed. The most important thing is the line of the Chu army.

Afterwards, the soldiers handed over the information in their hands to Su Jie.

Su Jie took a closer look and couldn't help being stunned on the spot. He shook his head lightly, not knowing what to think, so he could only say: "Xiang Yan, you are worthy of being a good general of Chu!"

Subsequently.

All the soldiers circulated it one after another, and each of them was stunned for a long time.

what is this?

The Chu army still withdrew, but the place to evacuate was not right!

If the Chu army retreated to the back of Rucheng, then the Qin army could only look at the river and sigh.

However, the key point is that before the Chu army won a big victory, the scene of a decisive battle with the Qin army and the popular popularity are self-evident, and there will definitely be agitation for a decisive battle with the Qin army.

But even so, they were still suppressed by Xiang Yan.

You can see his patience.

However, the Chu army did retreat, but they only retreated more than ten cities in Chendi.

Let's put it this way.

Huaibei, Huainan, including Shouchun, are actually counted as Chendi.

That is, the former land of Chen Guo.

In the boundary of Huaibei, besides Ruyin, Rucheng, Pingyu, Chengfu, and Sleeping City, there are many other cities. These are the dozens of cities that the Chu army retreated this time, which are the private soldiers of the Chu State. those cities.

However, opposite to Anling is Ruyin, if Ruyin goes down, it is Pingyu, Sicheng, and if you go down, you will be Chengfu. When you get to Chengfu, Chengfu corresponds to Rucheng, all the way to the south. a pattern.

These cities are all strong cities and fortresses.

Collectively referred to as Ruyin Fortress!

In other words, if these cities are not lost, it doesn't matter if the other cities are lost, because the enemy can't stand!

The briefing reads: "In ten days, the Chu army arrived on the south bank of the Huai River, and withdrew from more than a dozen cities outside the fortress, including Ruyin City, intending to give the Qin army a foothold. Then, the main force of the 30 Chu army stationed in the outskirts of Rucheng, Build barriers!"

This is the city that Xiang Liang guarded at the beginning.

The Chu army desperately failed to let the Qin army cross the thunder pool, and Li Xin fought hard all day and night without success.

"Another 30 troops were stationed in two divisions. General Jingqi of Chu led 15 troops in the outskirts of Pingyu to build a fortress, and Qu Ding led an army of 15 to station in the outskirts of Qicheng to build a fortress."

This battle report, that is to say.

Of the 60 troops of the Chu State, 30 guard Rucheng, and the other 30 are divided into 15, which are located on the left and right sides of the north of Rucheng, forming a corner, and guarding here.

Instead, Ruyin City at the front is no longer there.

There is no doubt that Xiang Yan's plan made everyone not know what to do. If you said you didn't quit, they did.

You say you're back, but Pingyu and Sleeping City are building barriers.

All the soldiers turned their eyes to Su Jie.

Just waiting for Su Jie's final order.

Su Jie laughed instead and said: "Since the state of Chu gave us Ruyin, there is no reason not to take it. However, this time going south, our army can only slowly advance southward with a strong formation, and approach Ruyin City. You can just confront the Chu army, but you must never go out to fight."

All the soldiers took orders.

Su Jie's slow and difficult advance, marching slowly with a strong formation, the purpose is very simple, that is, he is very worried that the 15 troops from Pingyu and Sucheng will make a surprise attack from the side.

Moreover, the so-called formation of strong soldiers is an unusual formation, and it is not a formation on the battlefield.

It's just a marching formation.

That is to say, the front army of the heavy Liannu Battalion cleared the way, the two wings of the cavalry army spread out, the central infantry marched in a battle formation, and then a thousand chariots worthy of the soldiers came to the rear.

With such a formation, advance in the vast wilderness with gentle terrain.

There is no worry about the mountain source and valley being ambushed, and you can fight on the ground at any time.

Don't be afraid that the Chu army will suddenly launch a raid on the way to advance!

Moreover, although Xiang Yan, the commander-in-chief of the Chu army, hadn't completely retreated, his shrinking position was enough to see that the general was still very sober, and it also proved that he would not fight hastily.

Therefore, when the Qin army went south, the only thing to beware of was a surprise attack.

almost simultaneously.

Su Jie categorically ordered that 30 Chu troops were recruited from all sides with great difficulty, and began to march southward.

Between ten days.

Four armies.

Chu State three, Qin State one!

Spreading out from the northwest to the southeast of the Huai River, none of the four armies paid attention to each other, but built barriers day and night, even after the Qin army occupied the empty city of Ruyin, they did the same.

The entire land of Huaibei.

Millions of soldiers and horses were extremely magnificent. The two camps of Pingyu and Shucheng knew that the Qin army had actually come to Ruyin boldly, and they were even more furious. Battle reports were also sent to Shouchun overtly and covertly.

After the Qin army completely occupied Ruyin City.

Sure enough, as Su Jie expected, the Qin army did not continue to prepare to attack southward.

No matter how hard the Chu army gritted their teeth, they did not disobey Xiang Yan's order and went north to fight.

The Ruyin shogunate is far away from a mountain and river valley.

It was also the first time that Qin State held the first meeting on the territory of Chu State at the call of Su Jie.

Su Jie said straight to the point: "The Chu army in Pingyu City and the Chu army in the sleeping city are all private soldiers from the fiefdoms of the old Chu family, but only the Xiangyan army in Rucheng is the real main force of the Chu army. The horizontal spread is only a hundred miles, and the distance between each city is only more than [-] miles. Once the cavalry arrives, it takes only an hour for the infantry to strengthen the city. But the momentum of the minister's horns can be said to be invulnerable."

The three cities are triangular in shape.

Rucheng is at the southernmost point.

The northwest and northeast are Pingyu and Shucheng respectively.

They are only thirty miles apart.
