The feast of the Qin Palace ended, and there were disappointed people and proud people.

Mo Wu'an restored his status as a royal family, and with the strong support of Zero Yu, no one dared to complain about him. Qi Qi is a frustrated person, Qin and Chu are at war, and it is difficult for Chu to win, so he can only do his best and obey the destiny of heaven.

Qi Qi didn't know that the person who commanded the troops was actually not Wang Qian, but Li Xin. Even if Ying Zheng is resourceful, he still commits this stupid trick, for the people of Qin, maybe Ying Zheng has other schemes.

In fact, where is there a better plan for Yingzheng, it is just to speed up the pace of reunification, and he is reluctant to use more troops.

Walking on the streets of Xianyang, all the way out of the city gate, Wang Jian looked up at the snowflakes in the night sky and sighed deeply. A voice came from inside the city, saying, "Please stay with the old general." ”

Zero Yu arrived with many ranches and Yongcheng generals, came to Wang Qian's side, and said, "Zero Yu will accompany General Wang for a while." ”

Wang Jian nodded, and the two teams walked slowly, these generals were the most powerful people in the Qin State, and there were some things that only the core figures of the military could know, and they didn't start talking until they couldn't see Xianyang City anymore.

Zero Yu came at this time, there must be something to say.

Among them, Ying Chengyan said: "Please rest assured Uncle Wang, the Wang Ben brothers will definitely be able to take the capital of Wei, and you should not be disheartened, when Qin Yan fights, the king will definitely reactivate you." ”

Wang Jian looked at the surrounding generals and sighed: "Empress Dowager Zhao Ji has made a good move, and the garrison is led by Yu'er, so she can naturally suppress the soldiers of Yongcheng." But the king made a move, and in the battle of Qin and Chu, the troops used were too few. ”

Zero Yu wondered: "Every time he fights with other countries, the king expects the enemy to take the lead, and this time there may be strange tricks that we don't know. ”

Wang Jian shook his head and said: "The king is too anxious, unless there is internal turmoil in Chu, where will there be a strange move?" Maybe there would have been before, but let Changping Jun go back safely, and with his identity, he will be able to mediate the internal disputes in the Chu State. Coupled with the fact that he is very familiar with the deployment of Qin's military forces, and he also knows that Yu'er has obtained the right to guard the army, it is impossible for my Great Qin to achieve the same effect as the Battle of Handan. ”

Zero Yu sighed: "Don't hide it from the old general, although my mother handed over the garrison to me, I will integrate the soldiers there." The main military operations of the garrison army can only be against the Xiongnu, and the internal dispute in the Central Plains is at best a show, and it is impossible to really let the garrison join any war. ”

"I don't know what the king thinks in his heart, General Li Xin's qualifications are too shallow, let him command the battle with Chu, it is better to use Yingcheng as a big brother. Wang Ben wants to fight against the Wei State, and Li Xin will definitely transfer some troops from the garrison camp to go out, so Brother Yingcheng will not be able to move anymore, and must cooperate with me to confront the Yan State, and be ready to support at any time. ”

Wang Jian said: "That's right, you must not move, you must sit in the ranch and command remotely, and prepare for the defeat of Li Xin's army." ”

The people around were stunned when they heard this, and Meng Tian asked eagerly: "This is impossible, even if Li Xin can't break Shouchun, he can stabilize the battle and wait for support from the rear." After all, the Chu army is not as good as my Great Qin army, we only fight with it on the plains, where is the reason for defeat? ”

Wang Jian sighed: "Fighting on two fronts is a taboo for soldiers. The national strength of the Chu State is even stronger than the Zhao State back then, and we have fought with the Sanjin Dynasty for so many years, how can we break through the capital of the Chu State with only 200,000 troops? ”

"The battle in the plains, although it is good to think, but will the Chu people give Li Xin a chance? The land south of the Yangtze River has a hilly environment and interlaced rivers. At that time, General Bai Qi commanded an army of 300,000 people, but he did not annex the Chu State, nor did he conduct any decisive battle on the plains, so he just didn't dare to do that. ”

"Where are there any open plains in the Chu State, even if we know a few places, we must sneak across the river, set up a stable camp, and wait for the Chu army to come to fight. Our army must not take the initiative to attack, with my understanding of Xiang Yan, he will definitely mobilize the warships of the Chu State and burn the ships that crossed the river in our Great Qin, so that the Qin army crossing the river has no way back. ”

"Li Xin is still too young, he can't play Xiang Yan at all, Xiang Jiajun has been fighting with Baiyue all the year round, and his combat power is second only to the Guards. If we really want to fight on the plains, half of my Great Qin's chariots will not be able to drive, and the victory or defeat is really unpredictable. Fighting in an enemy country, logistical supply becomes very difficult, the state of Chu occupies the right time and place, and our troops are still less than the other side, and there is Changping Jun on the side. ”

"200,000 troops, even if I am allowed to go, I can't defeat the Chu army, let alone Li Xin. The king is still too anxious, no matter what kind of strategy he uses, he doesn't have enough troops, and he can't take the state of Chu at all. The garrison army cannot be moved lightly, Yang Duanhe's troops must cooperate with my son Wang Ben to attack Wei, and Yu'er must be in the center to deal with all parties. Li Xin is not able to cross the river, but once he crosses the river, no matter how many troops there are everywhere, he can't support him if he wants to, so there is no reason to be undefeated. ”

The people around him were silent, pondered for a while, and then Ling Yu said: "Please rest assured, old general, this time Meng Tian is the deputy marshal, and I will give him five thousand guards." This army will not cross the river and will always respond to the main army. ”

Wang Jian said depressedly: "Can you only transfer 5,000 guards?" ”

Ling Yu said affirmatively: "I can only give so much, 30,000 to confront Yan Guo on the bank of the Yishui River, 10,000 to fill the garrison camp, and 10,000 to enter the ranch to practice with the Praetorian Guard, Yongcheng can no longer draw troops." I will send 200 elite Janissaries to Li Xin and Meng Tian, and they will each lead 100 people, so that even if the war is unfavorable, they can protect their safety. ”

Wang Jian sighed: "I can only do this, do my best and obey the destiny of heaven." ”

After accompanying them for a while, the two teams parted ways, and Ling Yu returned to the ranch with Yingcheng, Meng Tian, Xibu and others.

The big tent of the ranch, what Ling Yu thought, he didn't know what to think, and instructed Meng Tian: "Brother Meng Tian, five thousand guards, must follow under your tent." Later, I will summon Li Xin to refrain from mobilizing this force. General Wang Jian is very right, the garrison army does not understand water warfare, if the war is unfavorable, they will not be able to retreat at all, and the Yan army will definitely attack halfway. ”

Meng Tian nodded and said, "Please rest assured, sister, I will hold the battle line and will not cross the river easily." Does the Chu army really have that kind of combat power? As long as a decisive battle is launched on the plain, 200,000 against 300,000, our Qin army is not afraid at all. ”

Zero Yu frowned and said, "I don't know the combat power of the Chu army. ”

What is the combat power of the Chu army? This question is not only unclear to Ling Yu, but also unclear to Ying Zheng. But there is one person who knows very well, and that is Changping Jun Qiqi.

After more than half a month, Mi Qi returned to the Chu Palace smoothly and had an in-depth conversation with the negative, and there were Xiang Yan and other Chu military generals next to him.

Negative Shu wondered: "Yingzheng's actions are too fast, and I don't have any confidence in this battle." Uncle Qi Qi, I am very happy that you came back to help me, but my country's national strength is indeed not comparable to that of Qin. ”

Qi Qi asked, "General Xiang Yan, do you think that my Great Chu is fighting with the Qin army, what are the odds of victory?" ”

Xiang Yanyan said: "If the commander of the Qin army is Wang Qian, I have no chance of winning at all, but now it is Li Xin, as long as the king gives me more than half a year, I can keep him out of the Yangtze River." ”

Qi Qi suddenly laughed and said: "The smart Ying Zheng finally took a step to make a stupid move, if it is really Commander Li Xin, my Da Chu can win." Why block it? The northerners are not accustomed to water warfare, and Li Xin does not dare to fight with us in water, so he must cross the river and start a decisive battle on the plain. ”

"But Li Xin's kid would never have imagined that I had a complicated geographical environment. There are only a few places where hundreds of thousands of troops can be used to fight a decisive battle, and there are not many chariots of the Qin State, so what can he do to defeat us? If he dares to cross the river, we will let him cross the river and start a decisive battle on the plain, but our army will not fight. ”

Xiang Yan said suspiciously: "When the army starts, the logistics have to keep up, my Great Chu's national strength can't compare to the Qin State, the two armies hold each other, and the national strength is consumed, and we can't afford it at all." ”

Qi Qi said confidently: "It's definitely expensive, because we only need to last for a month." As long as Li Xin crossed the river, with the help of a dense network of intertwined rivers, all the boats of the Qin army crossing the river were burned, cutting off the support of the Qin army. Not to mention a month, even half a month, Li Xin can't hold on. ”

Xiang Yan's eyes lit up, and he said: "It's indeed a good plan, Lord Qi Qi is very familiar with the Qin army, and we can make targeted arrangements." Abandon some cities in front, shrink troops, ambush many traps, and tempt Li Xin to take the initiative to fight. The backup was cut off, and Li Xin couldn't fight a decisive battle if he didn't want to, so he would enter our encirclement. ”

Qi Qi and Xiang Yan quickly carried out the battle plan, and when they heard that the Qin State had only sent 200,000 troops, they were even more confident. Originally, in the battle of Qin and Chu, the Chu people had no confidence at all, but the arrival of Qi Qi gave many people confidence, and the two naturally talked happily, and they had already planned how many Qin soldiers to kill in order to achieve their goal.

Listening to the exchange between the two, he also had confidence, and the corner of his mouth smiled, but he said bitterly: "Uncle Qiqi, there is still a difficulty in this matter. ”

Qi Qi was puzzled: "What else is the difficulty?" I only need to hold each other for two months to end the war, and the national strength can definitely keep up, is the treasury not enough money and food? ”

He sighed: "The treasury has enough money and grain for a year, but I can't take it out at all, and those money and grain are in the hands of the Empress Dowager Yingran." If she doesn't agree, I can't help it. ”

Speaking of the Empress Dowager Yingran, Xiang Yan didn't dare to say much, how could he dare to say more about the things in the Chu Palace.

Qi Qi said bitterly: "The dignified King of Chu, he can't control the treasury, I will talk to Ying Ran face to face in this matter, and I must ensure the supply of money and food." ”

There are some words, neither Negative Qi nor Qi Qi said. Ying Ran is the wife of the negative soldier, and there are foreign ministers here, and the royal family is very faceless if she talks too much. When he returned to China this time, Mi Qi also had a lot to ask Ying Ran, and asked her why she did that.

In the Qin Palace, Ying Zheng accelerated his military operations, and the troops and horses in various parts of the Qin State were mobilized very frequently, and as soon as spring arrived, he launched a war against Wei and Chu.

Before that, Ying Zheng personally sent Chenxi out of the palace, and before leaving, Chenxi only said one word, asking him to be careful of Jing Ke.
