Cangxue Dragon City of Great Qin Dynasty

In any case, Chu State is a big country after all. It is indeed difficult to gather the strength of the whole country to attack other countries, but to resist foreign enemies is burnt to ashes and can be revived.

Before those deployments are made, what they have to do is to keep Xiang Yan out, and then consume their strength as much as possible.

Knowing that it is impossible for Meng Wu to let them come out and not let them do anything, Yan Zhi looked at the extremely simple map, and then raised his eyes to look at the surrounding terrain, and it was easy to overlap the lines drawn on the map with those hills and peaks. together.

Their current position is very high, and they can see all the camps around them. The Chu army is not far away from them, so they can see clearly.

This section of the Great Wall in Pingyu was built on the mountain, and it was originally the dividing line between Wei State and Chu State. Looking carefully, it is not very long, but it is just enough to protect a city of Pingyu behind.

The terrain here is not too flat. The Chu army can be frequently harassed by Xiaobo soldiers, and they can do the same.

Drawing a line along the water not far away, Meng Wu raised his eyes and looked at Li Xin, "Based on your previous intention, the focus of winning Chu State is in Jiangbei and Huaibei. On the way for the king of Chu to escape, the navy from Bashu set out from the Yiling area to face the Huaihe navy of Chu State. The main force of the army was from Pingyu to Shouchun. In this way, even if we only have 10 people, we cannot defeat the whole of Chu. China can also take most of their cities, right?"

He nodded with a tense expression. Li Xin really had this idea at the beginning. At that time, he thought that Chu State was really as weak as he showed, and he would fall with one blow. In the case of Chu State, before they actually fought, Xiang Yan dug a hole and made him stumble and almost couldn't get up.

General Wang Jian said before that if he wanted to take down Chu State, he had to use the whole country's soldiers. He always felt that the old general was too cautious and exaggerated. Now it seems that he underestimated the enemy.

"You brat is reckless. I don't know how powerful Xiang Yan is in using troops. After this battle, I will go back to receive punishment."

"We'll discuss this matter later." He said lightly, obviously, General Meng Wu didn't want to directly expose the mistakes made by this person before.

Merits and demerits should not be generalized, the people of Qin have always attached great importance to this. As generals in the army, they naturally know that merits and demerits cannot be offset.

Glancing at the faces of the two people next to him, Yan Zhi didn't speak, but kept his expression down and continued to listen to Meng Wu's next words.

The ranks of the Qin army are strict, and no honor without merit is the basis of the Qin law set by Shang Jun. No matter how close they are to the King of Qin on weekdays, they can still only speak on the basis of military merit in the army.

In the state of Qin, one could be an official without meritorious service, but one could never be granted a title. The [-]-level military merit title system established by Shang Jun played a great role in encouraging morale and improving the combat effectiveness of the army.

Among Qin's army of famous generals, only one was named Daliang Zao, and that is the old general Wang Jian who is now attacking Yan. Although the old general Meng Ao also made great achievements, he was still a bit inferior in terms of military merit.

The older he is, the more calm and sophisticated he is in his military operations. The prestige of the old general Wang Jian in the Qin army is close to that of Wu An Jun Bai Qi, and what is more commendable than Bai Qi is his sensitivity to the political situation. Up and down will definitely not be able to pick out half of his faults.

Bai Qi used soldiers like a god and never suffered a defeat in his life, but in the end he died because of Fan Ju's framing. It was because of the strict laws of Qin that he was allowed to fight step by step. When he became Daliang Zao, he was assassinated.

The old general Wang Jian has been a general for decades, he is in Daliang, and he is absolutely not adulterated. There are no dogs in Humen. question.

Yan Zhi and Meng Tian are all generals. Because of the credit for destroying Han, Zhao and Wei, their titles are higher than Wang Ben and Li Xin. Now they are all right ranks, but this is of no use. In front of General Meng Wu, they are still Can only follow orders.

He suffered several defeats at the hands of Xiang Yan. If he can't make a comeback in the next battle, Li Xin will only lose his title this time when he returns.

No matter how good the relationship between the monarch and his ministers is on weekdays, in the state of Qin, which speaks of military merits, he will be punished if he loses a battle. It is already an extrajudicial favor for this person to continue to lead the army as a crime.

Before Wei Liao became a captain of the state, General Mengwu, who had been a captain of the state for many years, joined the army and was created by Shaoliang. People in Qin didn't pay much attention to their positions, and the most important title was the title they got in exchange for their hard work.

Li Xin rubbed his nose, no longer entangled in those things, just pleaded guilty in a low voice and continued to listen to orders.

"The land of Huaihe River and Huai River has gathered seven or eight out of ten troops of Chu State. The land in the south of the Ling River is far away from the Central Plains, and the terrain is steep. So far, we have not been able to draw an accurate map. We will stick to Pingyu and the Chu army. It is of no benefit to the war. "

In the final analysis, Lord Changping succeeded in messing up their arrangements. If it could be delayed for another year, as long as Wang Jian, Wang Ben and his son conquered Yan, they would not be in such a dilemma.

Xiang Yan has been powerful in Chu State for so many years, and now Lord Changping is supported by him alone. Their momentum of attacking Chu seems fierce, but there are not many troops to follow up with force. With Xiang Yan's vigilance, how could they let such a deadly man go? Vulnerabilities?

They are all here now, and the Nanjun area is empty of troops. Xiang Yan took this opportunity to mobilize troops to attack Nanjun. Once they are allowed to take Nanjun, it will be meaningless for them to guard Yingchuan.

After Nanjun is Hanzhong, without Nanjun's resistance, Hanzhong's door is wide open, and it is not impossible to enter Guanzhong with the speed of the Chu people's troops.

Listening to Meng Wu's words, Yan Zhi and Li Xin's expressions darkened. They had to send troops to Nanjun for emergency treatment.

Looking at the location of the Chu army's camp and the distribution of troops marked by Meng Wu on the map, Yan Zhi frowned and lowered his eyes. After a while, he raised his head and asked, "Who is the general going to send there?"

"You go." After a pause and looking at Yan Zhi, Meng Wu continued, "Xiang Yan will not go to Nanjun in person, their focus is still here, so at most [-] soldiers and horses will be given to you to cooperate with the Nanjun garrison." Resist Chu's attack, and after they retreat, we will meet up in the Chengfu area, and then make arrangements."

Dealing with Chu State, as long as they don't take the initiative, they will never waste too much time. If it is not necessary, Chu people will not procrastinate in one place for too long.

In other words, Yan Zhi only needs to defend Nanjun, but there is no need to fight against Chu.

Now they only need to recharge their energy and store up their energy, let the Chu army provoke them, and not confront them head-on.

When the three parties join forces and the Chu people lead their troops back to the defense, it will be the time for them to attack aggressively.

Xiang Yan's dispersal of troops at this time is not all a bad thing for them. Yan Zhi only needs to take the soldiers and horses he brought from Xianyang to Nanjun. The reduction of troops is a good thing when you think about it this way.

Looking at the camp of Chu State not far away, Yan Zhi lowered his head and continued to study the distribution of Chu State's troops, feeling that there was something they had overlooked.

"Nanjun is not the best place to counterattack. General, are you sure Xiang Yan sent people there?" Yan Zhi, who was not sure, looked at Meng Wu and expressed his thoughts.

"That's true." Meng Wu nodded to dispel Yan Zhi's doubts. When he first heard the news, he couldn't believe it, but the fact is that, Xiang Yan suddenly divided his troops, or he was old and had a wrong strategy. , or something happened in Chu State.

After carefully recalling what Meng Wu said just now, he didn't find any omissions, Yan Zhi pursed his lips, just remembered the matter in his heart and then took over the task.

Twenty thousand soldiers and horses are enough to keep the Chu army out of Nanjun.

After arranging Yanzhi's next destination, Meng Wu followed Li Xin's finger and arranged tasks for him. Although the morale of the army was a little bit low after the previous defeats, Li Xin didn't just get hit by a setback. People, if you don't dare to confront Xiang Yan again, this person is also sorry for the cultivation of the king.

The people of Chu have always attached great importance to the Huaibei area, and Xiang Yan would not give up here and go to Nanjun. This is the top priority of their battlefield.

Yan Zhi didn't stay in the Pingyu military camp for too long. After confirming that Xiang Yan had sent some soldiers and horses towards Nanjun, he took his soldiers and horses directly across Nanyang and entered Nanjun.

Nanjun directly borders the State of Chu, and it is said that Yunmengze is very close. If Xiang Yan dispatches troops directly from Yunmengze, no matter how fast they are, they will not be able to catch up with the rescue.

Fortunately, the interior of the Chu State is not an iron plate. He and Lord Changping can't move the private soldiers of other clans, so they can only send soldiers and horses from under their hands.

What's more, the current Lord Changping no longer trusts the Xiang clan as much as before.

Dare to hand over to the defenders of Nanjun before the arrival of the Chu army, Yan Zhi felt more and more abnormal in his heart. His intuition was always accurate, and there must be something they missed that they missed.

The news from Xianyang is normal, and the news from Pingyu is also normal. Even the army attacking Yan State in the far north is in full swing. It seems that the situation is very good. Yan Zhi pondered for a long time, and finally sent a pen to Pingyu to send the news.

The dispatch of troops from Chu State was always unexpected, and General Meng Wu had to be more careful, otherwise something unexpected might happen.

Before Yan Zhi put down his pen, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the tent, "Commander, outside spies are reporting that a large number of Chu troops have entered the territory of Nanjun. They are just walking in the mountains and have no intention of approaching the city."

There are mostly plains in Nanjun, but the Wuling Mountains are located here, so the mountains in the northwest are continuous with deep valleys. Although it does not occupy much land, it is the most difficult place to defend.

The Chu army suddenly entered the mountains over there, did they want to attack Hanzhong directly from there?

Although most of Qin's army has been sent out, the defenders in the counties are not defenseless. They just want to attack Hanzhong with the soldiers who sneaked in. Are the leaders crazy?

Frowning even tighter, Yan Zhi stretched out his hand and knocked on the table, "Do you know their specific intentions?"

"The deputy commander has brought people to check, but he hasn't returned yet."

Hearing this answer, Yan Zhi stood up and handed what he had just written to the guard next to him, then took his weapon and walked out of the tent with a dignified expression, "Assemble the vanguard battalion!"
