After the banquet, all the servants were waved away, and the two snuggled up to the West Chapter. The high-platform building can be traced back to the Xia Shang, and it is the habit of people to live by water, but the river at that time had no river channel, and it flooded from time to time.

Living on a high platform, you can open the door and look into the distance. Mi Xuan untied the man's hair, combed it carefully, and sang an unknown song softly. At this time, Xiong Jing's forehead just touched her round and bulging chest, exhaling Ruolan, her body was fragrant, and Xiong Jing half-hugged her slender waist, feeling the soft and warm limbs.

"Giggle......" Mi Xuan was afraid of itching, and the man rubbed her a few times and giggled, and she couldn't sing anymore. The body shrank down, and the hair was not combed. Men in this era also have long hair, and Xiong Jing, who has never liked his long hair, said unhappily: "It's too long and too long, so it should be cut off." ”

"Cut it out, cut it off, and you will become a Yue person." Mi Xuan, who was sitting back on the seat, was still smiling, and when he saw Xiong Jing's displeasure, he had to kiss his side, which was considered comforting. After that, while combing her hair, she asked, "The king is here, how is it in the army?" ”

Husbands and wives don't want to talk about state affairs when they meet, but they have to talk about state affairs. Mi Xuan wants to talk about her perception of Xinying and migration, and she also needs to know the situation in the country, which is related to whether the entire migration plan can be successfully completed.

She was worried that Xiong Jing would become unhappy when she asked about state affairs, but she only heard Xiong Jing laugh and said, "Qin people, chickens, tiles, dogs, Ben Ao...... Hum...... As long as they dare to come to Chen Ying, they must kill him and leave no armor. ”

"Ahh The Qin army is 600,000, and the Chu army is only 100,000, if the Qin army can really be defeated, then why does the Chu state still want to avoid Penglai? The army of the Qin State is gone, and it will be the Chu State that will rule the world.

Xiong Jing just showed off in front of the woman, and then told the truth. "Wang Jian told the old man, and the king of Qin has worshiped Meng Tian as a general. A few days ago, it was reported that Meng Tian thought that the 600,000-strong army was cumbersome, and only selected 300,000 of them to attack. ”

"Three hundred thousand?!" This time, more than 10,000 people on the trial voyage gathered on the dock are already boundless, and Mi Xuan can't imagine how many people will be 300,000 people. Surprise turned to worry for a moment, and she clutched the man's hair.

"These 300,000 people will never return." Xiong Jing is sure. The reason why he came to greet his wife so reassuringly was precisely because the Chu army would win this battle. The Qin army was forced to fight in a battlefield designed by the Chu army, and what awaited them was a crushing defeat.

"Then ......" Qi Xuan wanted to ask how the avoidance was going, and what about the Chu State and the world. Xiong Jing understood what she meant and said, "It depends on how the Qin people deal with this battle." If you deal with it well, you can stabilize the situation; If the response is not good, the army will be defeated like a mountain, and the Qin State may die. It also depends on the number of casualties among our soldiers, if the casualties are few, we can no longer avoid relocation, if there are more casualties, ......"

For some reason, Xiong Jing casually talked about the many casualties. Qi Xuan suddenly hugged him tightly, and her pretty face was pressed against his cheek.

"It's just a mouthful," he said, patting the woman's beautiful back. "In this battle, our army defeated the enemy with gunpowder, and there will not be too many casualties."

"Yes." Mi Xuan muttered, nodded slightly, and began to comb her hair again.

"How's Xinying?" Xiong Jing shifted the topic, reluctant to mention what happened after the war.

"Xinying is very beautiful." At the mention of Xinying, Mixuan immediately became happy. After the fear of the nightmare is removed, the scenery in the dream gradually becomes lovely. Xiong Jing had read the entire report of Da Sima Mansion and knew that in this era, it was not difficult to cross Yangma Island, and the real migration was easier than a sea trial.

During the trial voyage, it was against the north wind, and during the two migrations, it will be along the southeast monsoon, and the boats can reach Yangma Island within three days with the help of strong southeast winds, regardless of whether they use fishing sails or not. In addition to the first return voyage, which had to row the boat back to the shore of Zhufang Port in the southeast wind, the second time in September and October, it would wait until the monsoon turned before returning home, and then it was a tailwind sail.

It took about half an hour for Mi Xuan to finish the eight-thousand-mile voyage and his own perception of Xinying. She naturally asked, "If the Qin people are defeated, do you still need to avoid Penglai?" ”

"To be sure, yes." Mines can only be used once, and even this time, some of the shogunate's advisers were worried that the Qin people's array would not be one, but would list two or three as in the decisive battle of the Osawa Shangzhou Division. In that case, the planted gunpowder would only explode once, and the remaining one or two arrays would have to rely on the grenadiers and spears in the hands of the soldiers who accompanied them.

"The matter of avoiding relocation is related to the blood of the country, and it must not be sloppy." Xiong Jing hugged Mi Xuan in his arms and told him seriously. "You are very good at crossing the East China Sea, and you have established your prestige in everyone, if the Chu country is not there, the Penglai Chu people can restore the country."

If there was no war, the state of Chu had established and perfected the world spice trade network, and the huge profits of the spice trade could be cashed out in India, which had a large population and abundant materials, and countless gold and silver coins were turned into sailboats and grain, supporting the migration of the people of Chu and even the world to the eastern, southern, western and wasted continents, but unfortunately the endless wars destroyed all this.

Thinking of this, Xiong Jing couldn't help but resent, resentful of this endless war, and resentful of those Kwantung officials who manipulated the national affairs of the Qin State. There is also Wei Yi, Zhao Zheng has abandoned him, but he has not abandoned the strategy he had made before. This Fabian roundabout strategy is probably the only chance for Qin to destroy Chu. If Wei Yi had been killed, the world would have been in a different situation.

Xiong Jing clenched his teeth, and when Mi Xuan saw that he said that he was losing the country again, his stable heart became turbulent again. She was puzzled: "There are only 600,000 people in the Qin State, and 300,000 people are defeated in Chu, how and how to ......?"

"But there are 20 million people under the rule of Qin." Xiong Jing Road. "As long as there is enough grain and boats, there will be more than one million soldiers in the Qin State. There are only three million people in the east, over 12 years old and under 17 years old, and those who can become armor soldiers are all oarsmen, after all, they also need armor soldiers to avoid Penglai. Yue Ren Wuzhu is about to become king, and I must not guard against it. Once the existing armor soldiers are killed or wounded, the counties can no longer replenish the ......"

The biggest dilemma of the Chu army at the moment is not only the depletion of money and materials, but also the depletion of manpower. The Qin army also faced this problem, and the north of the Yellow River was attacked for many years, including Guanzhong, and the young men were basically wiped out, and most of the recruits were young soldiers who were just Fu and were seventeen years old or six feet five inches (150 cm) tall. Only in the Qi State can a large number of young men be recruited.

If you don't distinguish between high and low, with the population of Qi State, the number of Fu people exceeds 1.5 million, and the area controlled by Qin State is at least 700,000. If the 300,000 Qin army is gone, even if the remaining 300,000 are not included, a million-strong army composed of Qi pawns and seventeen-year-old boys from Gangfu can still be recruited. In extreme cases, you can also recruit five-foot soldiers like Zhao Guo Changping did, the kind of soldiers are fourteen or five years old, most of them are one meter three or four tall, and they can also kill people in formation.

For the Chu army, the others are not terrible, but the consumption is the most terrible. Xiong Jing's brows furrowed tighter and tighter, and he said hatefully: "If the Qin State wants to die in Chu, take the men of the entire Qin State in exchange!" ”

"Jing people are in the north of the sand and water, the gap between the east and the west, in order to force our army to fight with them in the west of Chencheng...... "Although it is a military camp for slaughter, the sea of sand covered with black tents inside and outside the city is still filled with the breath of spring. In the midst of the birdsong, Meng Jue reported to Meng Tian the information obtained from the investigation, and at this time, the cavalry of the Qin army had reached Changping of Wei State, seventy miles away from Chen Ying.

"The place chosen by the Jing people, I should not fight." Meng Heng, who introduced the enemy's situation, had an intuition that it was better not to go to battle in the battlefield chosen by the enemy army. "However, the people of the east of the chasm are flooded with water, and the roads are bad, and I can't ......"

"Jing people want to fight with me to the west of the chasm, how many miles is the chasm to Yingshui?" Meng Tian stared at the map, Chen Ying was not a strange place, he and his father had been there, and he vaguely remembered that Chen Ying's west was unwilling to be Yingshui.

"About sixty miles." Meng Jue replied more carefully, talking about Chuli, Chuli is short and Qinli is long, and there is a difference of a few steps between the two.

"Sixty miles is enough." Meng Tian replied immediately. "One hundred thousand Jing people, with ten columns, is only twenty-four miles, and our army is twenty-eight miles, less than half."

"Shang Ruojing people......" Meng Heng wanted to say something but couldn't say anything, he said directly: "The place where the troops are exchanged is determined by the Jing people, and it is dangerous. ”

Of course, Meng Tian knew his reasoning, but he asked rhetorically, "What's the risk?" What I am worried about is that the Jing people will strengthen the defense of Chencheng and will not fight with me. Defend the city with witch weapons, Mo Ying's edge, our army surrounds it, and it cannot be decided for several months. ”

Meng Tian remembered the battle of Chen Ying ten years ago, which was also in the spring. At that time, the Qin and Wei armies paid great casualties to attack the city of King Chen Ying, but King Jing built a new city hundreds of steps wide inside. Later, Xiang Yan led the army to the rescue, and the two sides fought in the south of Chen Yingzhi, and Xiang Yan defeated the Wei army and won a complete victory.

If King Jing defended Chen Ying again, it would be a nightmare for the Qin army. Fortunately, King Jing has won every battle in the past ten years, and he seems to disdain to fight another siege battle, so he is equipped in the west of the city.

"It's not right after all." Meng Heng understood what Meng Tian meant, if the Chu army stubbornly defended Chen Ying like ten years ago, the king would definitely be in a hurry. Nowadays, in the field, a decisive battle is won or lost, but it saves time.

"What if it's not right?" Meng Tian's eyes no longer looked at Chen Ying on the map, but breathed a sigh of relief. "The most inappropriate thing is that King Jing will defend Chencheng, if he guards Chencheng, how many months should our army attack? What are the casualties of the soldiers? If we bypass Chencheng and go straight to Chudi, the Jing people will go out of the city to attack the army we left behind, and our army will be defeated. ”

Meng Tian described the results of the Chu army's stubborn defense of Chen Ying. There is no way for 300,000 people to stay behind 100,000 people, and 200,000 people to trap the Chu army. If it is fortified on all sides, no amount of troops will be enough, after all, the encircled front is longer than the encircled front. If it is not fortified on all sides, once the Chu army cuts off its own back road, it will be another defeat.

"Time is short, and the king is urging very urgently, so he will fight with King Jing in Chencheng according to the plan of the shogunate." Meng Tian made up his mind. When Meng Heng was ordered to go out of the account, he added: "For the rest of the roads, 60,000 is too much, and 30,000 is enough, so Jing people think they can be saved." ”

"Respectfully!" Meng Jue turned around and nodded. Soon he personally selected more than a dozen lieutenants and summoned them into the account. "The general led an army of 300,000 generals to fight in Chen, and none of them were generals who went to war, but they ......"

The Qin army had never won a battle with the Chu army in the past ten years, and perhaps it would be completely annihilated. Meng Heng summoned the captains who spoke very uneasily, worried about what kind of fatal mission it was, so when Meng Heng paused and waited for them to answer, no one answered.

Meng Tian was not surprised by this, the Qin army was afraid of Chu, and those who were going to be promoted were all serious and thoughtful, and the generals who were not going to be promoted were relaxed, drinking and laughing. He coughed and directly announced the order: "The general has an order, and three captains are needed to lead the army from Lishui, Suishui, and Danshui to Jingdi, and force the Jing people to divide their troops ......"

When Wang Jian was a general, the Qin army was 600,000, and the Chu army was at most 100,000, which was an absolute advantage over the Qin army; Meng Tian is the general, the Qin army is 300,000, the number of the Chu army remains unchanged, and the Qin army can no longer achieve a five-fold advantage. For this reason, Meng Tian explained in detail to Zhao Zheng the reason why only 300,000 people were used, and also argued with Wang Ben, bluntly saying that it was impossible to lead 600,000 people to a decisive battle with the Chu army now.

However, explanation and confrontation are only one aspect of the matter, and the other aspect is that Meng Tian has a plan to force the Chu army to divide his troops - the Great Liang is the center of the confluence of all the waters, and the occupation of the Great Liang can be directly inserted into the Chu land, and after the flooding of Mu Ze and Rongze, the role of Kaifeng is equivalent to that of the Great Liang, and the Qin army can still penetrate deep into Chu along the waters.

As soon as he said that it was not a decisive battle with the Chu army, the captains immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said loudly: "The last general is willing to go!" The end will be wished! The last will be wished to ......"

The voices were louder and louder, and Meng Jue looked over one by one, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that these were all annoying. When the great general Meng Wei was there, the Qin army was not like this, and even when Meng Wu was the general, the Qin army was not exactly like this. It's only been a long time, and in less than ten years, the Qin army has become timid and wise.

Meng Heng's interest in speaking was greatly reduced, and he said directly: "On the order of the general, only one lieutenant will be sent to one water." If the Jing people divide their troops to save them, they will be meritorious, but the Jing people will not save them......" He glanced at the lieutenant in front of him, and then said: "Military law disposes!" ”

"This ......" Lieutenant Du was surprised, whether the Chu army rescued or not, this is not something that he can decide. However, there are also people who are quick to see the opportunity.

"The last general is willing to go to the water!" Du Wei Jiaosheng shouted, for fear that others would take the lead.

"The last general is willing to go to Suishui!" Du Wei Hua Fu shouted along. The Chu army gathered in Chencheng, and the closer it was to Chencheng, the greater the hope of rescue.

"The last general is willing to go to Danshui ......" only sent one captain along the way, and only the farthest Danshui was left in the end of the three roads, but there were not many opportunities to grab people's heads like this, and all the captains had already understood the implicit meaning of the heart.

The Qin army entered Chu in the south, harmless to people and animals, of course the Chu army would not send troops to rescue it, but if it was as young as Li Xin entered Fangcheng, the Chu army would inevitably have to be saved. It's just that this kind of military order that people and gods are angry with the general is unwilling to issue, and he can only rely on them to understand. In fact, they don't really have to live forever, as long as they let out the rumors, so that the Chu people think that they want to live young, with the temperament of the Chu people, they will definitely send troops to rescue them.
