Chapter 43 Reply
The Qin people's boat division went down the river, and it was by no means easy to discharge the flood upstream, which was why Zhao Zheng had always disagreed with Wei Yi to launch this battle. Therefore, below Daoyi, Lingguan Gorge begins to drain the water and then twists and turns, and there are countless canyons, river beaches, and high cliffs.
You have to be careful when the water is full in summer, and it is even more difficult to be shallow in autumn. Lingguan Gorge below the Yuguan Pass (i.e., Yu Pass) is a 100-mile dangerous channel, once the southbound boat division is discovered by the Chu army, no artillery is needed, and a few sunken boats in the narrow part of the canyon can block the channel. If the rear is also blocked, it will really be like Pang Nuan imagined to close the door and beat the dog.
Of course, it is not that the boat master cannot pass, not to say that Tianchi Daze still exists, and not to say that the Qin State annexed Bashu for nearly a hundred years and entered and exited Bashu as a waterway, that is, the Qing army entered Sichuan at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and it was also through the water upstream of Yuguan (at this time the water was already called the Jialing River) to levy and transport grain.
It's not that the boatman can't sail down the water into Daze, the key is to be fast!
A battle that may not be won if it is fast and will fail if it is slow, Zhao Zheng instinctively refused, but at this time, the Qin State was already on the verge of life and death, and if it was defeated, it would be a loss of the country, and if it was not defeated, it would also be a loss of the country, forcing Zhao Zheng to take a risk. There is no danger of losing the country in Chu, and there is a crisis of losing the country after defeat, so Nao's first reaction was to order all divisions on the front line to retreat immediately. This is an insurance practice, but in the long run, the least fish pass must be guarded.
Lingguan Gorge rises, the fish pass stops, this section is the most dangerous section of the upper reaches of the water, because of the existence of Tianchi Daze, the water level of the water is at a high level, this section can be passed, and the waterway below the fish pass is suddenly open. Letting go of Yuguan and allowing the Qin army's boat division to enter Tianchi Daze is tantamount to letting the Qin army enter the Hanzhong Basin, which is an extremely dangerous disposition.
The reason why Yuguan is called Yuguan is because the water here bursts through the stone cracks, and the water can pass through the fish. Not far from the north of Yuguan is the Qingniling of Li Bai's 'Qingni He Panpan, a hundred steps and nine folds lingering rocks', and it is also the immortal pass where Wu Jue of the Southern Song Dynasty resisted the Jin soldiers and did not retreat.
After the Western Han Dynasty, Tianchi Daze ceased to exist, the water level of the water fell sharply, the waterway of Jialing Town to Yuguan 20 miles has been unable to sail, and the south can only abandon the land and go ashore: first ascend the right bank of the water and cross the Qingniling, and then cross the Xianren Pass to the left bank and go down to the Yuguan, so this place is called Shukou.
After Liu Xiu of the Eastern Han Dynasty conquered Qin and Longxi in the west, he 'got Longwang Shu', and Gongsun Shu guarded this place so that he could not enter Shu for a long time; Zhuge Liang went out of Qishan six times, four of which were through Qingniling and marched to Guanzhong; Cao Cao went west to Hanzhong, and 'Dou Mao, the king of Di, had more than 10,000 people, and he refused to accept the danger', and he resisted the Wei army here for more than a month......
Qingniling is a land route, on the right bank of the water, the highest Jianzi Mountain is more than 1,800 meters above sea level, and the road is muddy; Xianren Pass is a waterway, the water flows along the deep and narrow canyon, high and precipitous, the forest covers the sun, it is called the Ghost Gate Pass at the earliest, and then sees the immortals on the cliff are naturally generated, the eyebrows and beards are fluttering, and it is renamed the Immortal Pass again.
The shogunate's advisers suggested that they should defend the Fish Pass, and it was because they liked that the Fish Pass could be garrisoned by land and water. Pang Nuan's suggestion to close the door and fight the dog is not impossible, as long as the fourth division and the first brigade of the Chu army can be stationed in Lingguan Gorge with the assistance of the Yue division, this plan may not be successful. It's just that everyone didn't expect that the Qin Junzhou Division had already moved south, and the barracks of the two divisions and one brigade stationed in the upper reaches of Lingguan Gorge were washed away by the flood in the middle of the night.
Because there was rain in Nanzheng and other places in the morning, the closer north to Qinling, the heavier the rain, so these two vital messages could not be transmitted to Dasima Mansion in time through flying messages, and could only be sent to Yingdu with carrier pigeons, and when Yingdu transferred the pigeon news to Xiangyang, the time was already afternoon.
"Yufu Yin, it rains heavily in Nanzheng Zhudi, and the flight is not connected." In Xiangyang City, Yin Zinansang, the director of the Communications Division, once again reported to Nao that the flight was not working. This is not the first time he has made a report, after the two messages were sent out in the morning, the news in the direction of Nanzheng was blocked.
"Have you ever ordered a quick horse to summon you?" It is not surprising that the rainy season south of the Qinling Mountains is coming, and there are autumn rains everywhere.
"I've ordered a quick horse to summon the message." Zi Nan Sang Dao, knowing the importance of Xunwen, he said: "Ran ......"
Xiangyang to Fuyi 1,600 miles, 300 miles fast horses have to run all day. When the news of the Qin army's southward movement reached Chengtong's hands, it would be the morning of the next day at the earliest.
"Pang Nuan's plan...... "The seat of the morning court meeting was still in the Great Sima Mansion, and no one left. Xiangyang can't send a message to Chengtong, but if Chengtong's communication is blocked, it can be transmitted with a pigeon like Yuanhu Mountain, and Pang Nuan's plan to close the door was transmitted to Xiangyang two hours later than Yuanhu Mountain.
"It's a success!" Li and his expression was grim, and he completely disagreed with Pang Nuan's strategy. "The Yuanhu Mountain News said that the Qin people's boat division went south at dawn, and the war boats covered the water, and there were countless of them. At dawn, the Qin people were one hundred and twenty miles away from Yuguan, and the place where Chengtong was stationed was one hundred miles away from Yuguan, but the Qin people went first! ”
"The first step is not necessarily the first to come, and the waterways below the mountain streams are narrow and steep." Lu Yangjun tried his best to think about the good, he didn't believe that Pang Nuan's plan would not succeed. "And the Qin people are all newcomers, so they are not as good as our army."
"The Qin people are going straight downstream, and our army is going upstream." He sighed. "The Qin people have been on this road for a long time, and they are familiar with the canyons and dangerous shoals, so what about the new hands? The battle boat must be forbidden, does Lu Yangjun think that Qin Law is fake? ”
Li He has always been serious, his rhetorical question made Lu Yangjun want to laugh, but he couldn't laugh, of course Qin Law is not fake, especially military law. If the Qin people's boat division arrives at Yuguan first, then countless war boats will appear on Daze; If the Chu army arrived at Yuguan before the Qin, the Qin Zhou division would be blocked north of Yuguan. The key is who gets to Yuguan first.
The Qin army was twenty miles farther than the Chu army, but they had already set out at dawn; The Chu army's proximity to the Yuguan channel was also conducive to navigation, but the Qin army went straight downstream, and the Chu army went upstream. Who will arrive first is unpredictable.
"What if the Qin people go to Yuguan first? It's just a fight with me. "Lu Yangjun simply stopped thinking about the question of who arrived first, and talked about the war itself." Si Yin thought that the two armies would fight in a water war, and the Qin people would defeat me? The armies of the Zhao Weiba people, the heavy grain and other boats have retreated to Fuyi, even if the Qin people are better than me......"
"There are 20,000 Yue divisions, but there are no more than 10,000 water fighters, and there are only more than 60 large-wing warships; Our army only has five divisions and one brigade, and most of the war boats are pawn wing war boats, one soldier and one boat, but there are only eighty-eight soldiers, and the war boats are less than 100. "I carefully calculated the number of my own warships, and the results were not optimistic." Can more than 160 warships defeat the Qin people? If they are not victorious, what is the use of the armies retreating to the frustrated city?
Fuyi is not Xiangyang, the city is far away from the water, garrisoning Fuyi can not hold the waterway, if our army is defeated, the Qin people can go straight down the river, enter Linpin, to Xiangyang; The water is close to the left of Fuyi, and it can be more than diving, and you can enter Shu as soon as you dive. Bashu is the old land of Qin, and there are only 10,000 people stationed there, if the Qin people get Bashu again......"
The spear edge of the Chu army is aggressive, but if the spear pierces the air or the spear is broken, then there is only one stick left that cannot be scary. If the battle is defeated, Li He is most worried not about the Qin army going south to Xiangyang Jiuying, but about the Qin army re-entering Bashu. Bashu produces 60 million stones of corn annually, and after the autumn harvest, the valley of Dongzhou can be planted again, and 50 or 60 million stones can be harvested.
"The Great Sima Mansion has ordered Chengtong and the soldiers of Shu to rush to Tho to reinforce the garrison. In order to prevent accidents, he ordered the county guard Lu Lizard not to plant the valley of Dongzhou after harvesting millet. Lu Yangjun interjected. The Great Sima Mansion was adjusting its deployment all morning, and the two most important adjustments on the Western Front were the retreat of the large army and the reinforcements to defend Tho at the same time. That's the worst-case scenario. In the message sent by Cheng Tong, although he did not know that the Qin Junzhou Division was heading south, he had followed the advice of the Great Sima Mansion to withdraw those divisions and brigades that were not good at water warfare, and to strengthen the defense of Tho.
"May Taiyi bless me." Li He's face was full of melancholy, he said everything that should be said, and he didn't want to say more.
He didn't speak, and the court became very quiet, only the personnel of the various divisions quietly came in and whispered the voices of the divisions. Nao was not so pessimistic, nor was he as optimistic as Lu Yangjun, he looked at the huge sand table in a daze, and asked after a long time: "Does the king have a reply?" ”
The direction of Wuguan Road is just a feint division, don't look at the three-headed phoenix banner is menacing, there are only eight divisions that can really fight, only 50,000 people. After sending the news to Fuyi in the morning, he immediately sent the Hou spy report and the disposal of the Da Sima Mansion to Yaoguan, and then forwarded the pigeon news of Yuanhu Mountain and Chengtong, but for some reason there has been no reply. It should also be autumn rain, if it drags on until it gets dark and Yingdu does not receive the pigeon news, it will have to wait for tomorrow.
Xiong Jing received the message in the morning during dinner, and his reaction was to exclaim that it was impossible. When he read the message, especially after reading the self-description of Vara in the message, he was immediately silent.
His first feeling was that he shouldn't have rejected the Qin people's request for peace, but this feeling was suppressed as soon as it came to his head. The Qin people were short of food, and seeking peace was just a cover for the trapped beasts to fight, not really to seek peace. Even if the Chu army withdraws and no longer confronts the Qin army, the Qin people will survive the spring and summer of next year and wait until the autumn harvest This hurdle will pass, but will Zhao Zheng believe it?
He certainly wouldn't believe it. Donggong Niangniang baked a big cake, he would put him in his position, thinking that if he suddenly sent troops to attack Qin and Qin, he would die, and once Qin died, Chu would be able to go down and pass on to eternity.
It is difficult for people to change their existing cognition, Zhao Zheng, as the king of Qin, represents the interests of the military merit group and the Kwantung Youshi group, and the specific embodiment of the interests of the two is to continue to behead and plunder, and constantly attack the city and pull out the village.
Zhao Zheng, who sat in the position of the king of Qin, could not change this established line at all, and could only continue the war. However, when Xiong Jing looked back at himself, he represented the interests of the nobles, merchants, and affiliated groups of the two in the position of the king of Chu, and he could not change this established line either.
If it doesn't change, it's nothing, if there is no Qin to control the world, it will be Chu to control the world in the future. However, while today's news article has dealt a heavy blow to his confidence, it also seems to have given him an extremely important revelation: he has no way to change the fate of the world.
