"Father, there is a message from the river that Xiong Qiang's soldiers and horses have rarely crossed the water in recent months, and most of them are resting in the south of the Yangtze River."

"Although the edict of grace issued by the king has some effect, the resistance is not small."

Along the Huaishui River, the continuous military camp tents are arranged in an orderly manner, looking down, the fiery red color of the flame is quite conspicuous under the clear sky, the reason is that last year, the Qin State united with the Wei State to attack the Chu State, and plundered many cities in Huaibei.

The garrison will be weak, and Xiang Yan, who is resisting Xiong Yan in the Jiangshui area, was also defeated by Xiong Han and others all the way, and the defeat did not stop, causing a lot of damage to the old clan area north of the river.

In desperation, the king of Chu had no choice but to summon Xiang Yan to return to the Huaishui area to resist the combined forces of Qin and Wei, and more than 100,000 troops were dispatched to directly block the offensive of Qin and Wei, which was quite effective for several months.

In this way, Shouchun was quite relieved, and for a while, Xiang Yan was not transferred out of the country, and continued to be the main force in the fight against Qin Wei.

In the shogunate's military tent, Xiang Liang, who was wearing heavy armor, walked inside, looking at his father, who was reading the military book after the first case, and said slowly, although it was not new news, but it was quite stable news.

"Xiong Han and other rebellious people, if they don't like a quick defeat, there is only this strategy, gather the soldiers and horses, recuperate, and wait for another day."

"In this way, it also gives the king the opportunity to rectify the government and support the court."

"Where's the nationality?"

For decades, he has been fighting in the south and north in the Chu State, all the way hard, and now he is ranked as the Great Sima of the Chu State and the Shangzhu State, and in the entire government, except for Ling Yin, no one can point fingers at him.

Moreover, in today's court, the king also trusts his own body, and he also has many rewards for the Xiang family.

His gaze moved from the military book in his hand and fell on Xiang Liang's body, no matter what, within the Chu State, the current situation is much more stable, which can be regarded as a rare time since the death of King Kaolie.

The Qin-Wei coalition army in Huaibei has gradually separated with the rise of chaos in Yingchuan County, although some cities have been abandoned, but in exchange for temporary stability, it is still worth it in a short time, and what Chu needs now is time.

Immediately, the conversation changed and fell on his grandson.

Since being sent to the side by the eldest son, it is to stay by the side to teach, in this, Xiang Yan is very pleased, and even a little surprised, when he was in Xiang Cheng, he learned the art of the six arts of Confucianism, in order to cultivate himself, and use it to take charge of the lintel.

But later, after beating the Confucian student, he learned swords, and after entering the military camp, he also learned swords with Xiang Liang and the others.

Although the year is weak, but the strength of the body is not weak at all ordinary people, it is estimated that when he reaches adulthood, his strength will be even more terrifying, in Xiang Yan's opinion, this is definitely a proper fierce general.

But as the heir of the Xiang family, it is not enough to just become a fierce general, I originally wanted to wait for the time when I was more than ten years old, and teach him military strategy, civil and military, but I never thought that some time ago, when I was learning swords, I wanted to learn - ten thousand enemies.

"Books are enough to remember names. The sword is one enemy, not enough to learn, and to learn ten thousand enemies. ”

This remark made Xiang Yan happy, and then ordered Xiang Liang and the two to teach the art of war, three generations, the art of war has four veins, one is the power of the army, one is the situation of the soldier, one is the yin and yang of the soldier, and the other is the skill of the soldier.

As a military family, the four veins of the art of war naturally remain, blessing over the years, paper and books are rampant, and there are many books of soldiers circulating, and now the children are learning the four veins.

After each has its own involvement, when it is refined to one or more, and there is no divine power, he can be a fierce general in the future, and he can be a famous general who is proficient in the art of war and strategy, that is what Xiang Yan wants.

"Ji'er is fighting with the generals in the sand, and he seems to be interested."

Xiang Liang smiled, bowed his head, and looked at his father.

"Sand Table Battle?"

"Well, it's okay, but don't indulge in it, the sand table battle is different from the battlefield after all, when there is a war next, take a look at it and appreciate the real battlefield killing."

"There are all kinds of deductions, you can't use it freely, how to become famous."

Xiang Yan muttered, but didn't say much, this thing is still somewhat beneficial to the current family, but it's not good to be immersed in it for a long time, the real battlefield will not operate according to the things on the sand table.

"Yes, father."

Xiang Liang naturally understood this.

"By the way, what's the situation in Yingchuan County, and has there been any other news lately?"

This is the area north of Huaishui, only 800 miles away from the border of Qin and Wei, and not far from Yingchuan County.

And from the Chu State to transport a large amount of grain and grass baggage, here, within the Chu State court, there is no opinion, open one eye, close one eye, anyway, to add chaos to the Qin State.

Even if the envoys of the Qin State entered the country and asked, it was also a result.

But as for whether the State of Chu interfered in the affairs of Yingchuan County, there really wasn't!

Everything is spontaneous by others, and it naturally has nothing to do with the Chu State.

"Half a month ago, there was turmoil in Yingchuan County, and in just a few days, most of the cities in Yingchuan County were controlled, and now, I am afraid that they are about to control the entire Yingchuan County."

"With the 100,000 old Korean soldiers and horses gathered in Yingchuan County, as well as hundreds of thousands of followers, the Qin State wants to suppress it quickly, and it will not work without more than 200,000 troops."

Xiang Liang couldn't give an exact answer, it was true that the situation in Yingchuan County was changing rapidly, but one thing was still certain, that is, the army of the Qin State was gathering rapidly, and it had not really fallen in a battle.

200,000 troops!

If the Qin State gathers Guanwai, Sanchuan County, and Nanyang County, it can be done, but it takes a lot of time, and it can't be said, waiting for the Qin State army to press to Yingchuan County, Quicksand has completely controlled Yingchuan County.

Bless the foundation of Yingchuan County and the random actions of Wei and Chu, and it is very likely that it will be supported.

"Xiang Liang, how long do you think the quicksand will last?"

Xiang Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, put down the military book in his hand, and got up from the top.

"This ......, I think that unless the main army of the Qin State goes south, it will be difficult for Yingchuan County to lose."

As mentioned earlier, if you want to suppress the chaos in Yingchuan County, you must have more than 200,000 troops, but you can ...... There are really 200,000 troops pressing the border, and after the fight starts, it will not be so smooth.

A few years ago, when the Qin State destroyed Korea, it was to completely cut off the retreat of South Korea's grain and grass, so that South Korea had no way to surrender the whole country, but now Yingchuan County has enough grain and grass baggage, and the scope of control is also more than the original South Korea.

The 200,000 troops of the Qin State suppressed Yingchuan County, unless Yingchuan County was in chaos, it would not be difficult to hold on.

If you want to vigorously defeat Yingchuan County, you must have the support of the Qin general Wang Qian.

"Do you think King Yingzheng of Qin will let the chaos continue in Yingchuan County?"

Xiang Yan smiled lightly, although he had not had many head-on battles with the Qin State for decades, he had heard a lot about the reign of the Qin State.

With his temperament, he would never want to see Yingchuan County continue to mess up, and ...... Qin has the power to quickly suppress Yingchuan County, but he doesn't know what Qin is going to do next.

"General!"

"The eldest son is out asking to see you!"

Xiang Liang wanted to say more, but suddenly, outside the military tent, the marching Sima entered and bowed closely.

"Asking to see?"

"Haha, let him in."

Xiang Yan heard the voice, and bowed his head, in the army, he obeyed the rules of the army, which was very satisfactory to him, and Xiang Liang on the side was also slightly sideways, looking out of the military tent.

After a few breaths, a young man in flaming light armor stepped into the military tent, his black hair combed into a bun, hanging down to the side of his shoulders, and his eyebrows were not as rough as those of a military army, but a little delicate.

Walking steadily, walking like the wind, eyes are bright, eyebrows are self-heroic, more than four feet tall, the grandfather and uncle in the tent, each bowed.
