Chapter 67: The Beginning

Before becoming the king of Yue, Yue Wuzhu longed for the king of Yue, but after becoming the king of Yue for a long time, the aura of honor and the initial excitement and joy faded, and he found that the king of Yue was really not so easy to be. Since he is already the king of Yue, he has to deal with the affairs of the Yue people as the king of Yue. Not to mention that Yue Guo is still the prince of Chu State, and his actions depend on the face of the Chu people, even if Yue Guo breaks free from the shackles of the Chu people and is truly independent, he will be distressed by the current situation.

The Yue State and the Qin State were already enemies of each other, and the independent Yue State was a life-threatening matter to deal with the aggressive Qin State. Surrender to Qin, Yue Wuzhu has already betrayed Qin once, and also killed Zhao Ying, the general of the Qin Guozhou Division, Wudu Hou, it is obviously impossible to surrender to Qin again. Even if the king of Qin said that he was not to blame in the past, the more Wuzhu would not be able to trust the Qin people. Who in the world can trust the Qin people?

If Qin is not surrendered, the Qin State will dominate the world, and it will naturally destroy Yue. The strength of the Yue Kingdom is far from being compared with more than a hundred years ago, how can it resist hundreds of thousands of Qin troops with its own strength alone? In the battle of Chu and Qin, the Yue people should have participated, but Wang Jian had 600,000 people, what if he was defeated? The Yue people are different from the Qi people and the Ba people, most of the Yue people have their own boats, and the Qin people really want to destroy the Yue, and the Yue people can avoid moving like the Chu people, hiding in Waiyue, Yizhou, or Penglai, and it will be impossible if they are defeated.

Meng Hui directly asked when he would set off, Yue Duo knew the king's difficulties, and said with a smile: "The king will lead his division to set off in the near future, but I don't know when the Lu division will set off?" ”

"General Dongye has sent an envoy to Qi, if the Qi people do not attack Muling, the Lu division will immediately set off to Kaifeng." Meng Hui didn't know whether what Yue Duo said was true or false, so he then asked, "I don't know how many divisions the king led to Kaifeng?" I heard that the Qin Renzhou division is stationed in Zhifu, if the Yue teachers are all in Kaifeng and Langya is not guarded, the more will be in danger. ”

As soon as Meng Hui said this, his intention was suddenly clear. Langya is next to the state of Qi, guarding the east of Jucheng, and Jucheng is in the east of Muling Pass, once Jucheng is occupied by the Qin army, Muling Pass will not be able to hold. The Lu people were worried that after all the Yue divisions rushed to Kaifeng, Langya would be lost, and once Langya was lost, the Qin army boat division in Zhifu Port might not be attacked, and Ludi would not be safe.

Since the meaning of the Lu people is like this, Yue Wuzhu will tell the truth, "In winter, the waves are higher than a zhang, and in the past, Chu Ao crossed the sea to attack Linzi, and he had to wait for the February waves to go to sea, how could the Qin people come across the sea?" ”

Even if there is no wind in winter, there are more than one zhang of big waves, and when the cold wave crosses, it is common for the waves to be three or four zhang high. The Qin army's boat division can only go along the coast, and must pass through the big wave area of Chengshan Jiao, and the more Wuzhu believes that the Qin people's boats will not be able to pass in winter. Even if you come over, there is no way to supply it in winter for more than 1,000 miles from Chengshanjiao to Jimo Bay. The tonnage of the boats is limited, and they can't carry too much provisions.

Meng Hui didn't understand the sea, and after listening to Yue Wuzhu and Yue Rudder, he was a little relieved. "So that all the soldiers of the Yue Division will go to Kaifeng?"

"Naturally, we all go!" The more you don't speak loudly with the spirit of a king. "I dare to die, how can I be afraid of Qin?"

The Yue people also had a glorious moment, and the Langya City at the foot of the Yue Wuzhu is a clear proof. However, he was searching his intestines and stomach, wanting to say something to prove that the Yue people were not afraid of Qin, when the drum beat suddenly came from outside the Ming Hall.

"What's the drumming?" Yue Wuzhu's face changed, and he could hear that this was not a musical drum, but the sound of a police drum.

"Report to the king!" Soon someone rushed to the high platform and shouted loudly. "The Qin people are coming!"

Just said that the Qin people couldn't come across the sea, and the Qin people came, Yue Wuzhu's face was a little unbearable, and the minister of state Yue Rudder hurriedly explained: "It's not winter, it's not east." ”

It's the middle of October, even if it's winter, it can only be regarded as early winter, and the mountain corner at this time may not be able to be bypassed. The Yue people reported that the Qin people were coming, not that the Qin people's boat division really came, and the Yue division set up a sentry boat near Chengshanjiao to patrol day and night, which was the sentry boat that discovered the Qin army's war boat, not that the Qin army's war boat had reached Langya Harbor.

In front of Meng Hui, a Yue Ren boat official on the sentry boat was summoned to the Ming Hall, Yue Wuzhu personally asked, and the Minister of State Yue Rudder was responsible for translating to Meng Hui.

"How many ships are there in the Qin people's boats? Where has it been? After drinking the wine, Yue Wuzhu asked questions again and again, he was anxious to know the movements of the Qin people and the size of the boat team. If the size of the boat team is not large, the meaning of Kanyue Wuzhu is probably to go to the vicinity of Chengshanjiao to face the battle.

"When the minister returned to Langya, the Qin people were fifty miles away. There are countless boats, and there are countless war boats. The boat official replied, and when he said countless times, he gestured with his hands one after another, signaling that the Qin people's boat fleet covered the entire coast.

The more Wuzhu listened, the more his face sank, and he knew that the Qin people had planned to move to Shaohai (now Jiaozhou Bay) or Anling Port (now Lingshanwei), but this matter has not been carried out. But judging from the description of the current boat officials, in addition to the war boats, there are also transport boats such as Dafang and Dajia, and nine times out of ten they are to be stationed in Shaohai or Anling.

Shaohai is farther away, and the Qin people's boat division can only settle in Buqi (now Chengyang District) in the north of Shaohai, which is more than 200 miles away from Langya; Anling is very close. Anling is only a hundred miles away from Langya, and there is a big pearl mountain between the two cities, otherwise they can look at each other. This was originally the seaport used by the Qi State to monitor Langya.

Yue Wuzhu no longer has the kingly spirit just now, the Qin people are really going to sleep on the side of the couch this time, and the number of war boats is several times more than that of Yue Shi's boats. He scratched his short hair, and the more he scratched it, the more itchy he felt, and for a while he really didn't know how to deal with the Qin Renzhou Master who was about to migrate.

"Chu and Qin are decided, and the Qin people are coming for this." Meng Hui was clear about the purpose of the Qin people's migration to the east coast of the Qi state. "If the king leads all the teachers to Kaifeng, the more he will not be guaranteed. The more it is not guaranteed, the more Jucheng will not be guaranteed, and I will ...... it."

The eastward movement of the Qin army's boat division in Hong Kong was the only one closest to the truth among the Qin armies that Wang Jian contained the Chu army. The hand on the boat is a waste pawn, and since it is a waste pawn, it is naturally impossible to participate in foot combat. But if the Qin people moved east to Anling of the Qi State and stationed opposite Langya Port across the mountain, it would inevitably make the Yue people like a man, and at the same time, they could also supervise the Qi people. forced the Qi army to move to Mu Ling and contain the Lu division.

"This matter can only be reported to the Shouying Grand Sima Mansion, if there are no gunboats......" Yue Rudder couldn't help but shake his head. The Qin army pressed the border, and only the Chu gunboats could deal with it, if there were no Chu gunboats, only more than 100 warships would not be the enemy of the Qin people.

"Good. Quickly summoned the Great Sima Mansion, saying that the Qin Renzhou Division had moved here. "Yue Wuzhu was very reluctant to ask Da Sima to send gunboats to help. After all, how could he ask the Chu people, but now he has to ask for it.

Meng Hui stayed in Langya that day, and the news soon spread to the Shouying Grand Sima Mansion. Li was not surprised by this, he had long known that the Qin people would definitely know that the Chu army was gathering troops, and the corresponding must be to divide the troops to contain them, so that the Chu army could not be assembled - the battle did not start when the two armies lined up, but when the Kaifeng shogunate decided to fight.

First of all, it was expected, and before Langya's interrogation, Songdi, Ludi, Badi, and Jiuying, the repulsors in these places had already discovered that the Qin army was either marching or assembling, and there was a great tendency to attack immediately.

In fact, Li He didn't care about the urgent news coming from all over the place, he was concerned about another thing: why was the Qin army able to learn so quickly that the Chu army was gathering? This is what surprised him, could it be that there are Qin people's Hou spies in the Great Sima Mansion?

"The Great Sima Mansion is a Chu person, since it is a Chu person, how can I come to Hou Spy?" Nao didn't believe his speculation at all. The Chu people are not without national thieves, such as Jing Hua and Wei Fen, but in Nao's cunning heart, any Chu person is patriotic.

"However, Qin will send troops to contain various places in a few days, and this is too fast." He emphasized.

"Isn't it the Yue people and the Lu people who have the Qin people and Hou Spy?" Nao Cunning talked about another possibility.

"Not really. If there are Qin people and Hou spies among the Yue people and Lu people, the Qin people must also screen the authenticity of the report before they act. Now after the Great Sima Mansion passed the order, on the fifth and sixth days, all the Qin troops moved, and there must be Hou Spy hidden in the Great Sima Mansion. He insisted on his point of view.

"Great Sima, if the Qin people want to send a message, they should use a news pigeon, if it is a news pigeon, the place of communication must be Xianyang. Xianyang then passed to Huai County. This has to be done for three or four days. The Qin army will move after five or six days, and Huaixian will also have one or two days to pass on the orders and Qin people from all walks of life, so it must be the secret of the Great Sima Mansion. "Don't let me be proficient in the art of Hou Spy, I also think that it is unlikely to be the Yue people and the Lu people.

For any intelligence agency, there is not too little but too much intelligence. One of the most important links in addition to intelligence collection is the screening of intelligence, the lower the level of the intelligence originated, the lower the reliability, and the more it is necessary to screen, and only the intelligence sent from the center of the other party will have such a rapid response. Of course, the reaction of the Qin people was also a little inappropriate, and the Qin State should not have reacted so quickly to make its own side vigilant. However, considering that the state captain of the Qin State is dead, and the state captain's mansion has changed frequently, it is inevitable that such a mistake will occur.

Li said that there are Qin people and Hou spies in the Great Sima Mansion, don't say that there are Qin people and Hou spies in the Great Sima Mansion, and Nao Cunning had to look at Zeng Yin on the side. The confidant Si Yin is Ele, but Ele is often in the army, and the person who is really in charge of the confidant is Zeng Yin.

"There is indeed a Qin Hou spy in the Great Sima Mansion." Zeng Yin's gaze was as calm as water, and he glanced around at everyone before speaking.

"Oh?!" Nao didn't think he would say the same thing. "Who?" He asked.

"I don't know who the subordinates are, but where do the subordinates know?" Zeng Yin said calmly.

"Where is that?" Nao asked slyly and in unison.

"Knowing the Side." Zeng Yin said something that surprised everyone.

"Knowing the Boss?!" Don't let me point to my nose, he even suspected that Zeng Yin had other intentions. It is said that there was a minister of the Zhengchao who asked Xiong Jing to cancel the Zhibi Division, or simply let the Confidant Division merge with the Zhibi Division. Fortunately, this matter was opposed by Xiong Jing.

"Yes, yes." Zeng Yin met my angry gaze and nodded gently.
