"The Qin people attacked me, and today I have occupied the fork of the Yuanhu Mountain, and I will fight again tomorrow, or I will lose the way of praise and obliqueness. If I don't retreat, the Qin people will surround me; If they retreat, the Qin people's boat will go down the river, and the frustration and Nanzheng will be in danger......"

The teacher is the head of all the teachers, and the teacher talks about the current situation as soon as he speaks. In terms of defense, the Xishi division was at the foot of the mountain east of Yuanhu Mountain, the two divisions of Xincai and Qisi were at the top of the mountain, and Xia Cai, the siege brigade, and the Huiji division were guarding the left bank of the water.

The mountains on the left bank were undulating, the water rose and receded, the shore became muddy, and the defense was not difficult; Although the summit is wide, it is densely forested and not easy to pass; The real pressure is at the foot of the mountain on the east side of the Mandarin Crane Mountain, which is related to the retreat of the whole army, the Qin army fell down the rock wall, and many people fell to their deaths before occupying the three forks.

Cheng Si just provoked the conversation, waiting for everyone to express their opinions. Unexpectedly, Lu Gao suddenly stood up and hurriedly said: "The Qin man-made war boat knows that the other side is not aware of it, this can be described as a secret; Tempting me to dredge a mountain stream and sink the boat and the boatmaster to go south, this can be described as a coincidence; There are countless elite armor warriors, and this is inevitable. With these three, he is by no means to pull out the frustration of Nanzheng, and then attack Yanying, and this wants to take Bashu again! ”

"Bashu?!" Lu Gao's identity is not enough to speak first, but he is also a feudal monarch. When he said this, he judged the intentions of the Qin people to be inseparable, and all the generals were shocked.

"The Qin people have been short of food for a long time, they were hungry in the previous year, they were hungry last year, and they are also hungry this year." Lu Gao's face was flushed, and his whole body was holding back. Although, his words will also bring him to death, but he can't help but say these words, he can't help himself. "The Qin people's boat division went south, and the Qin people's elite soldiers went south, only for Bashu, not for the old Ying.

If you get Bashu, Bashu will accumulate 30 million stones, and wait for Ruo Wei. Bashu is even more in the upper reaches of my Chu country, and in the past, Bai Qi attacked me, and went all the way from Bashu to the east. Bashu accumulates 30 million stones of millet, but it does not produce 30 million stones of millet, and there must be 40 or 50 million stones of grain for the people of Shu.

The Qin State was hungry for many years, and the newly acquired land withered. This year's millet production is less than 200 million stones, and the transporters are only 80 or 90 million stones. If you get Bashu, you can get half a year's military rations, so that the Qin army can survive until the time of harvesting millet in the next year. The war with the Qin people to this day, the Qin State has died without a great victory, so that the Qin State has endless military affairs, the common people have no time to farm, and the Qin State has no corn to eat.

If our army guards here, the Qin people will not be able to go south, and there will be a great hunger in the summer and autumn of next year. Under the great hunger, the people will die more, and next year they will fight again, and the crops will be one of the two. There are more than 10 million Dingkou in Qindi, and one stone in one month also needs 100 million stones, and there is no military food for one of the two crops. There was no food in the army, and the Qin army collapsed ......"

"How long should our army defend this place?" Qi Si Sima Song asked.

As soon as Lu Gao mentioned Bashu and corn, everyone present understood the intentions of the Qin people. The Qin people were scheming, and the Zhoushi Jiashi went south in a big way, not for anything else, but indeed for food. As long as the own side is nailed here, the Qin people's plan will not succeed. But how long will this be nailed?

"Ten days at most." Lu Gao pondered for a moment and replied. "Maybe it won't take ten days, if General Cheng annihilates the Qin people's boat division, and the army goes north to attack Meng Tian's back, the Qin army will retreat."

"How much do you still have military rations in the army?" Pan Wuming's voice, he didn't care how many days he held on, as long as there was food, the soldiers of the new Cai division could hold on forever.

"There shall be ten days." Xin Cai Sima Pan Kang replied in a low voice. The standard in the army is generally that the non-commissioned officers carry their own three-day military rations, and the divisional baggage carries the other three days' military rations. Because it was a defense, there were about five or six days' worth of military rations on the mountain.

"I can't wait." He sighed. The division has already counted the losses, and the loss of personnel is not large, but the loss of materials is very large. The tents, the rations, the arrows, these were either washed away or soaked up.

"I don't have a teacher." Cai Zhi, Ou Qin, and Lu Qian shook their heads together. The division and the Xincai division did not lose anything on the Yuanhu Mountain, but the division and brigade guarding the left bank of the river were washed by the flood at night, and most of the losses carried by the soldiers and the baggage of the division and brigade were lost.

"Is there a five-day day?" Lu Gao only knew the situation of the siege brigade, and did not know the situation of Xia Cai and Qi Sishi.

"Three days at most." Song Ji said a number. In the end, Ou Qin remained: "My teacher has no day, and today I still rely on my friends to help." ”

"If you can rush the corn along the way," Sima Chengzi, the teacher beside Cheng Si, coughed, and made up the idea of the transportation line. "There may be a decameron's eclipse."

"If you rush to transport corn along the way, I am afraid it will not be too late." It was none other than Cheng Si who was opposed. "Tomorrow Meng Tian will definitely attack, and he may be able to hold until noon, and he will not hold until dusk. In addition to corn, there is also a shortage of military tents, arrows, gunpowder, weeds, medicine, ......"

"If you want to keep this place, you have to rush ......," someone said.

"The wounded and the wounded should be transported off the ...... quickly" is humane.

"We should also send another pigeon news to tell our army in Yingdu to stick to this place and ...... the hope of the Qin people."

Originally, this military discussion was a discussion of retreat or defense, but now that the discussion has not yet begun, there is a big talk in the curtain about how to hold on. Lu Gao looked at his eyes and smiled in his heart. He knew that the Chu army could not be provoked, and once it was provoked, he would be high-spirited, so he had to speak first when he was overdue, and explain to everyone the intention of the Qin army in this battle.

"Do you want to take back your concubine?" The military discussion quickly dispersed, and the divisions and brigades began to get busy, retreating left and right, and the first thing Lu Chan said was this.

"When did you have the heart of a villain?" Lu Gao looked at Lu Chan in surprise, as if he had only met him today.

"Tens of thousands of soldiers are up to you." Lu Chan didn't laugh with him. "There are nearly a thousand ships of the Qin people going south during the day, and only the Chu Yue division and brigade under General Cheng can fight in the water, and the Chu Yue division and brigade only have two hundred battle boats, do you think our army can win?"

"What if you don't win?" Lu Gao asked rhetorically. "It's your fiefdom. If you don't stick to this place, you will be uprooted by the Qin people. ”

"Fuyi is indeed my fiefdom, but Chuqi is also my mother country." Lu Chan's voice was not as stiff as before, full of emotion. "If our army is not here, only the Yingshi, Xiangshi, and Hubei divisions will remain in the country......"

"Did Zhang Han tell you?" There are always people who oppose sticking to it, and Lu Gao knows that these words are definitely not what Lu Chan thinks himself.

"Reinforcements are indeed coming in ten days?" Lu Chan did not divert from the topic. The two of them stood on the ridge of the mountain, and the cold wind blew through the sky and it began to rain again.

"If all the troops in Chengtong are ink, Xiangyang will be 1,600 miles according to this, and there will be more than 200 miles of mountain roads, at most ten days."

"If the Qin people are also guarding the mountain road like our army, it will be ...... delay," Lu asked again.

"Then our army will cross the water and go west." Lu Gao said his last plan: to the west.

"You really ......" Lu Chan raised his hand when he heard this, pointing directly at him. You are indeed your beloved concubine. ”

"Not for her!" Lu Gao was helpless. "The Qin people must have thought that I was going to retreat south, but they didn't expect that I would go west. In the west, there are two divisions led by Dou Yu Pheasant and Chengyang, and there are tens of thousands of Qiang people, and there is a way to survive in the west. Go west to Qiangdi, and then go down the river from Qiangdi, you can return to Nanzheng. If Nan Zheng is not in my hands, he can also go straight into Shu along the water; If Shu is not in my hands......"

"How?" The Qiang people came to Nanzheng by boat, and Lu Chan remembered that he also knew that he could enter Shu from the Qiang land. But if Bashu is still occupied by the Qin people, he doesn't know what to do.

"If Shu is not in my hands, the state of Chu may die." It is difficult for Lu Gao to imagine such a situation.

From the overall point of view, once the Great Sima Mansion received its own pigeon news, the Yingshi who attacked Lantian must retreat immediately, and the five divisions of the Zhu clan stationed in Xiangyang should immediately go back to Nanzheng and rescue Chengtong. Li Xin will definitely attack Fangcheng again, Li Xin's attack is to contain the Chu army in Fangcheng, so that it will not be able to support Nanzheng, and the retreat of the Yingshi is to fill the vacancy left by the five divisions of the Zhu clan, in case Fangcheng and Xiangyang are empty, and Li Xin will attack Jiuying.

The purpose of nailing this place is to prevent the Qin army from moving south, reduce the pressure in the direction of Nanzheng, and enable the reinforcements from Xiangyang to clear the Qin people's boat division and those soldiers who have already gone south in the shortest possible time. What Lu Gao didn't know was that this was actually Pang Nuan's plan to close the door, but the location of the closure had changed.

The day was about to dawn, and the rain was getting heavier and heavier, but Lu Gao's last sentence was too scary, and the cold autumn rain hit Lu Chan, and he didn't notice it.

'Chu State or die', if such words were said from someone else's mouth, Lu Yu would definitely smash it with a punch and shatter all his teeth, but when these words came out of Lu Gao's mouth, his whole person seemed to have fallen into an ice cave and couldn't breathe.

Fortunately, Lu Gao finally said a heart-warming word, he said: "The king is invincible, with the king here, the state of Chu will not die!" ”

The sky is about to brighten, the autumn rain falls on the Mandarin Crane Mountain, the seasonal waterfall in the red gorge of the mountain pass flows straight down again, splashing on the rock wall, the same autumn rain also hits Xiong Jing, he did not take a boat south with the whole army, but rode straight to Wancheng hundreds of miles away.

The Qin Junzhou Division moved south, and the directions of Nanzheng, Fuyi, and Bashu were tight, and in order to prevent the rescue of the Fangcheng division and brigade, Li Xin must enter Fangcheng to contain it. His suggestion to Da Sima Mansion was the same as Lu Gao's thoughts, the Fangcheng Division and Brigade must immediately rescue Nanzheng, negotiate to give up completely, and fill Fangcheng with eight divisions and twelve brigades in the direction of Wuguan Dao.

As for the opening of the portal, he didn't even think about it. The key point of the Qin State is Zhao Zheng, if Zhao Zheng does not die, there will be no internal turmoil in the Qin State; Second, in the Qin army, as long as the Qin army is annihilated and the Qin army is weakened to a certain scale, the war can be stopped.

Third, in Shaofu craftsmen, if they had done all the Xianyang craftsmen at the beginning, how could the Qin army build nearly a thousand large-wing warships? Grain may be the same, but it's too slow; The common people are definitely not, the previous time the Chu army invaded Guanzhong, the Qin people were strong and clear, and the Chu army was blazing before they arrived in the county and township, crying and shouting to the sky.

Now these key points are not in Xianyang, all in Yongcheng, Lantian to Yongcheng land 500 miles, Yingshi, Hubei Division, Tang Division, these eight divisions attack city by city, on the way to deal with the Qin army's boat division and Wei Fen's 40,000 cavalry army, Yongcheng will definitely not be able to hit Yongcheng before the food is exhausted.

The division and brigade stationed in Fangcheng quickly rescued Chengtong, and the Ying division and the Hubei division quickly marched east to deal with Li Xin, which was his reply to the Great Sima Mansion.
