Chapter 30: Waiting

No change

Meng Tian's mouth was talking about the two generals, but his eyes were only on Yu Fen. M. Yu Fen was born lowly and was a Chu person, and the generals didn't like this person. But because of the cavalry under this man's command, he is the target of any great general.

The strategists in Meng Tian's shogunate thought about it and found that the only one who could protect himself from being attacked by the Chu army was the cavalry under the command of Yu Fen. The cavalry could delay the Chu army's attack and buy time for themselves to assemble in formation. However, what is surprising is that until the last Qin pawn came ashore, the Chu army did not move, and Hou Zhengzao's reprimand did not find anything wrong.

The Chu army still did not disperse the cavalry, and allowed them to gallop on both sides of Chen Ying and Shashui. However, there is also a potential rule, which is that you must not kill or capture prisoners, otherwise the Ryoma knights will come from all directions. The Qin army's Rong horses couldn't outrun the dragon horses, and the Qin army's Rong horses were still a little afraid of those who were taller than themselves, so Hou Zhengzao only ordered his subordinates to spy every day.

After landing safely and unharmed, 300,000 Qin troops camped south of Changping City according to the array. The spring rain continued, and the Chu army had been waiting for a decisive battle with the Qin army, but many things were unexpected:

After encamping, the Qin army did not immediately advance south, but was stationed in Changping for several days;

Jing Fei, who personally buried the gunpowder, gradually became worried, although Xiong Jing emphasized countless times to be waterproof and waterproof, but the things buried in the ground could not be seen visually, in case the wooden box was soaked by rain, and the gunpowder would not explode; Or maybe the flint can't get angry because it's wet.

Fei Jing and Xiang Chao received a report from the knights under their command, and they also went out for a few laps, and then reported to the shogunate that the rain did not stop, and the mud was not enough to extinguish the tarsus, and the heavy and light riders could not gallop with all their might, and they would be stuck in the mud if they barely galloped for a while;

Finally, there are the archers and gunners. The archer thought that if it rained during the war, he would not be able to shoot a few arrows, and the bowstring would be relaxed; The artillerymen were worried that the flint would not be able to fire in the rain, and thought that a spare fire rope should be lit in battle.

The rain kept coming, because the weather kept on creating problems, but Xiong's attention was no longer on these things, but on another.

"Tai Fu Yan: There are many pieces of armor and slips under Lantaiji, and I want to invite five more sea boats to transport ......"

Within the curtain, Zhuang Wudi's concern was no longer about the military situation, but the news in his hand one after another. "Doctor Sanlu said: Jiuding is the treasure of the world, and it must not be mixed with the royal treasures, and it should be transported by a sea boat. I also heard that gunboats were more solid than sea boats, so I asked a gunboat to transport them......

Gong Yin said that the sea boat is insufficient, and the big boat transportation is easy to be splashed by the waves, so he invited the sea boat again. It is also said that there are many craftsmen in each province, only 100,000 are insufficient, and it is necessary to mine miners, and more miners should be transported to Xinying......

Ao Houyan: The Queen Mother asked for more and did not want to avoid moving to Xinying, and the ministers had nothing to do......"

Trivialities, mostly trivial matters to avoid. The migration of 200,000 is also a battle, and Xiong Jing has a headache when he listens to it, but he has to listen to it. Fortunately, he just listened, and there was no need to make decisions and commands, and Lu Yangjun was solely responsible for the avoidance, and the various ministries of the Great Sima Mansion assisted. As if he was a bystander, he paid attention to these headache-inducing trivial matters every day from the beginning of the evacuation.

"The queen mother is still complaining about me." Zhuang Wudi also quickly finished reading those news, and Xiong Jing sighed lightly.

"The Queen Mother is either attached to the world and unwilling to go to the country." Zhuang Wudi completely knew why the Queen Mother didn't want to avoid moving, but he could only persuade him like this.

"Attached to the world?" Xiong Jing shook his head again and again, he knew what the queen mother was thinking. The queen mother did not want the state of Chu to change back to the state of Chu before the Spring and Autumn Period, but hoped that the state of Chu, like the other countries, would consider itself a member of the Zhou people.

This is certainly not possible. The state of Chu was a-for-tat system with the Zhou people, not relatives or ministers of the Zhou people, which is why King Wu of Zhou did not seal the Chu people when he was divided. More than 20 years later, King Cheng of Zhou's sub-feudal feud was posthumously recognized, and it was the Chu people who first occupied Jingshan before the Zhou people represented Shang, and then sealed the viscount, rather than the first viscount, and then gave the Chu people the land of Jingshan.

This is actually the Tang and Song dynasties' policy of restraint, and the Yuan and Ming dynasties perfected the Tusi system. The Tang and Song people would not regard the Jumi tribe as their own people, because they were indigenous, and the Yuan and Ming people also knew that Tusi was not their own race, but in order to control these alien races, they gave them officials to admit their occupation of the region, and the Zhou people's fetters were the viscounts of the Feng Chu people.

The Chu people were not relatives and ministers of the Zhou people, but they were relatives and ministers of merchants, and Ji Lian's wife was the son (female) of Yin Wang Geng. In the poem "Yin Wu", it is said that 'Tart the other Yin Wu, fight against Jing Chu ......', and the Shang King Wu Ding and Chu are determined from this, which is completely the imagination of the Song people. "Yin Wu" is not the poetry of the Shang Dynasty, the poetry of the Shang Dynasty does not have this multi-sentence pattern, this is the Spring and Autumn Period after the Chu people frequently attacked the Song State, the Song people for the spiritual victory of the poems, fabricated the most brave ancestor Wu Ding to fight Jing Chu.

In any case, the ancestors could not turn their backs, and it was impossible for the Chu people to claim to be a member of the Zhou people or the Zhou people. Even if Xiong Jing wanted to become a Zhou person, those Chu people other than Zhou Wenchen, who imitated Confucius, were not willing to become Zhou people. They still worship the gods of the Chu people, instead of worshipping ghosts and gods and staying away; It is still enshrined in the obscene shrines criticized by the Confucian scholars, instead of the weekly rituals that they have carefully formulated.

Xiong Jing furrowed his brows and thought about the estrangement between himself and his mother, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was a dead knot that could not be untied. Zhuang Wudi said: "If the queen mother does not move, the royal court will not send it." The royal court did not send it, nor did Empress Ao and the eldest prince. ”

"What's your plan?" What Zhuang Wu said was not unreasonable, if it weren't for his own mandatory order, Mi might not have left Shouying.

"In the past, if the queen mother was unwilling to avoid moving to Xinying, she might be able to postpone it, and Empress Ao and the eldest prince would go to Xinying first." Zhuang is not authentic. "Our army will win this battle, after this battle, the siege of the Great Liang is solved, and the king can order the Zhao people to go to Shouying to persuade the Queen Mother. If it still doesn't work, you can ask the elders of the Zhao clan to go to Shouying to persuade you. The queen mother is filial piety, and she should listen to the words of the old Zhao clan. ”

"Shang Ruo......" Everyone thought that this battle would be won, unlike when they were in Zhu Fang, Xiong Jing constantly warned himself from the beginning of the division of troops that he must be prepared to lose. He faced 300,000 elite Qin troops, as well as 40,000 cavalry and countless warships.

"What if this battle is defeated?" Xiong Jing hesitated, but still said this sentence.

"I think this battle is foolproof." Zhuang Wudi did not accept Xiong Jing's assumption. "And Meng Tian is not Wang Qian, knowing that the king of Qin heard that I want to gather the boat, and I want to avoid moving, I have been urging him very urgently for several days, and Meng Tian is not going south at this time, so he has no other reason."

"What's the reason?" Xiong Jing asked, but it didn't matter if Zhuang Wudi answered or not, because someone outside the shogunate shouted an urgent report and shouted: "The Qin people are coming!" The Qin people are here to ......"

Xiong Jing's heart tightened.
