Lu Zhe, who was thirty miles away from the battlefield, had been paying attention to the situation of the war, but he couldn't know that Huan Chu's army had been abolished, and he could only rely on Ji Bu if he wanted to hold Xiang Liang back, and Ji Bu obviously had no confidence, and so on.

Lu Zhe, who was alone in the army, did have the intention of using himself as a bait to attract the Chu army, but this intention was not strong, and his goal in doing so was very simple, it was nothing more than to take advantage of the Xiang family's inability to take care of it, disturb Huizhang County, force Huiji County to panic, and weaken the war potential of Chu State.

There is never only one battlefield in a war, and a war is not a one-time attrition, and it is very difficult for two forces with similar strength to distinguish the winner from the loser in a war, and what is needed is a contest again and again, and whoever has enough war potential will have the basis for winning the final victory, and this point has been very thoroughly expounded in the "On War."

Due to the constraints of the terrain, thirty miles is actually a constant distance, and Lu Zhe has already asked the scouts to estimate that the journey to reach the battlefield is one and a half days, so it does not mean that it has become a real flanking attack now.

What does a real pincer look like? It is the two armies that unify the forces on the battlefield to attack the enemy at the same time, and that is the real flanking battle. At present, the armies of Lu Zhe and Ji Bu and Huan Chu are too far apart, but they have the momentum of a flanking attack rather than a flanking attack, which is in the sense, but in fact it is a difference of 108,000 miles.

"The coalition forces of Huan Chu and Ji Bu can't stand it." Lu Zhe described the military situation of the scouts to the generals: "Xiang Liang's troops have a huge advantage, and from the perspective of the battlefield situation, Ji Bu's defense has also become a problem. ”

In other words, the momentum of the flanking attack is about to be broken, and the whole strategy is likely to be poor.

Most of the generals believed that they came to Huizhang County by the Yangtze River waterway to flank the Chu army with Ji Bu and Huan Chu, and they did not understand that Lu Zhe was actually weakening the war potential of the Chu State, so they were a little nervous when they heard that Ji Bu couldn't support it.

"Lord, when are we going to lead our army to the battlefield?" Mei asked the question that everyone wanted to know.

Lu Zhe groaned, Huan Chu and Ji Bu could maintain it, and it only made sense for them to rush to the battlefield, if one of the two armies collapsed. Their going to the battlefield is of little use.

The most test now is whether Ji Bu can cooperate with the 50,000 follow-up troops who rushed to Lujiang County behind, stabilize the established front, and create a situation where Zào will continue to attack.

"Tomorrow there will be 30,000 troops to continue to land from Danyang," Lu Zhe said, referring to the follow-up troops on the side of Huizhang County, which were another group of Qin soldiers who had been selected and confirmed to be not sick, "and the total strength of our side will reach 100,000 at that time." ”

Lu Zhe also deeply suspected that Xiang Liang would stay where he was, and now Xiang Liang should be thinking about how to retreat, right?

The Chu army must have been exhausted from fighting for more than ten days in a row, how could Xiang Liang, as a qualified general, know that there is a large army in the rear and not think about it? And Lu Zhe obviously pondered Xiang Liang's wrong idea, Xiang Liang didn't want to put himself in danger, but Xiang Liang wanted to besiege Lu Zhe who was deep in Huizhang County. Therefore, the armies of Surabaya County and Huiji County are all moving, and these are things that Lu Zhe does not know.

Lu Zhe wanted to weaken the Xiang clan or the Chu State, but he had no idea of fighting with Xiang Liang at all, any hard fight meant that even a victory would cause heavy losses, and in the current situation in the world, the loss of strength would bring great trouble to himself.

Qin's reward and knighthood on Lü Zhe was based on the foundation of his strong strength, and after the war with Chu had depleted his strength, Lü Zhe would usher in Qin's butcher's knife even if he was not killed by Xiang, which was one of his concerns.

So how to preserve the strength and weaken the power of the Chu State? Lu Zhe took three steps. The first step has been considered a success so far, and Huan Chu has completely broken with the Chu State; The foundation of the second step was built on Xiang Liang's attack on Lujiang County, and Xiang Liang made the deployment of troops in the rear empty; The third step is to make a desperate attempt to make a dagger, using the Yangtze River to land in Danyang. What kind of flanking attack and cutting off the back road are all deceptive illusions, but in fact, the real intention is to turn Huizhang County into a mess and stir Huiji County into panic.

There are also a lot of small details, such as only Jiujiang County to clear the Chu forces and so on. These Lu Zhe only told a small number of henchmen, and the rest of them could only look at the surface and did not know what the real combat policy was.

"After the 30,000 troops in the back converge, our next target is here." Lu Zhe pointed to Qianxian on the map of mountains and rivers. "This is the closest county to Huizhang County and Lujiang County, because it is less than twenty miles away from the battlefield, according to intelligence, Qianxian County is the second stronghold of Xiangliang's grain storage."

The generals are confused, attacking Qianxian is equivalent to wasting time again, and didn't you just say that Ji Bu can't support it anymore? If you don't hurry up to support Jibu, who can't support it, then ......

Sima Xin patrolled back and forth on the map of mountains and rivers, and he found that Lu Zhe's march route after entering Huizhang County was a bit strange, as if he was specially selecting densely populated areas, and wantonly plundering people and wealth everywhere he went, rather than forming a flanking attack with the fastest speed. This way of warfare is a bit strange no matter how you look at it.

In fact, it's still a bit of a pity, if Ji Bu can hold on longer, or do a better job of biting Xiang Liang's army, then Lu Zhe really wants to take advantage of the emptiness in the Chu State to lead the army to disrupt Huizhang County before entering Huiji County.

Lu Zhe is still relatively soft-hearted, and if he is ruthless, he should have carried out large-scale killing, and no matter how bad it was, he should have burned down one village or county town after another, but he was only plundering the population and wealth.

The army was able to kill civilians quite quickly, and if an army of 70,000 men drew a butcher's knife and slaughtered them, it would be covered with bones and bones. burned down the county seat and villages, and in winter, there was no shelter from the wind and rain, and there would definitely be no fewer people dying at that time.

If you can't do it, you shouldn't do it so hard, proper destruction will be hated, but demonic slaughter and arson will be hated to the bone, Lu Zhe is considering the strategy for Huizhang County in the future, forcing some clans and gentry to write a letter of allegiance is to make arrangements for the future. He also cunningly declared that it was Xiang Liang who brought these disasters, as for the people of Huizhang County believe it or not, hehe!

Conspiracy and trickery, Lu Zhe doesn't think that only Xiang Liang will, he will too!

In addition to the military and sabotage, Lu Zhe also released rumors, saying that he was originally considering moving closer to the Chu State, and this war and subsequent disasters would not have happened, but Xiang Liang has been persecuted in order to dominate the Chu State, and the source of the disaster is on the basis of the Xiang family's inability to tolerate people.

If the first statement is aimed at civilians, then the second statement is said to the people of the court of Chu State.

Everyone knows that such a conspiracy is very superficial, but often simple public opinion will cause deep harm to someone, and the victims of Huizhang County have no way to take Lu Zhe in a hostile state, they hate Lu Zhe and have a bad feeling for Xiang Liang. The courtiers of Chu State are even simpler, Lu Zhe doesn't believe that the Chu ministers are willing to Xiang family dominance in the court, and that remarks are not credible but can always be used as an excuse by some ministers to attack.

If Kuaitong was here, he would have guessed the intention of Lu Zhe's series of actions.

If Zhang Liang stayed, he would also see the sinister intentions of Lu Zhe.

It's a pity that Lu Zhe doesn't have a figure who can be regarded as a wise man around him, and this one-man show is sung, but it feels a little unenjoyable without the audience's applause.

The next day, Ji Bu's military intelligence report arrived, and his army alone really couldn't fight against Xiang Liang, and after two consecutive battles, he could only lead the army to retreat when Xiang Liang couldn't react, and Huan Chu could only retreat to Fanyang with less than 5,000 people and more than 20,000 subordinates of Ji Bu.

Huan Chu's original army of 70,000 was only 5,000, which can be said to be completely wasted; Of the 50,000 brought by Ji Bu, only 20,000 were withdrawn to Fanyang, of which 20,000 soldiers were still more than 10,000, but only less than 10,000 of the 30,000 auxiliaries, which can be said to be really heavy losses.

When Ji Bu first reported that the military situation was not going well, Lu Zhe was already mentally prepared, and the psychological fluctuations were not big when he got such a military intelligence report, and he was more interested in the young general that Ji Bu said could lead hundreds of cavalry to break through and fight.

The young general is obviously the budding Xiang Yu, and Ji Bu's evaluation of Xiang Yu is mixed, but that is also in line with Lu Zhe's "impression" of Xiang Yu, that is, such a warrior who worships force and throws his troops to kill when he fights.

Isn't it? The commander of an army has been rushing to kill and kill on the battlefield, as a general, he will only kill and kill, but shouldn't the commander be the one who stays in the rear and commands the army, how much can he kill by killing and killing, and commanding the army to kill and kill can kill more people!

"Strength can resist Ding...... A person who is more powerful than King Qin Wu! Lu Zhewaner, "Now is not the time for him to be peerless. ”

The Great Chaos in the World is the first year, not to mention that the long-trained army in the Qin army is still there, and the qualified officers saved by some forces have not yet died, so the role of the fierce generals with strong force on the battlefield is not so obvious.

What is the most effective moment for the general? It is that all armies are consumed, consumed, and consumed, and not only are there not qualified officers, but they have not undergone much training. The tenacity of such an army is almost none, and it is impossible to have belligerence, and a fierce general can play a good role in boosting morale and encouraging the soldiers' desire to participate in the war.

"Doesn't seem right?" Lu Zhe was relieved again, "Wang Li's Great Wall Legion can't be said to be not elite, but it was buried by Xiang Yu!" ”

Wang Li's grain road was cut off, and Chen Yu, Zhang Er and others fought in Julu County for nearly half a year, and the Chu army, which was cornered by Xiang Yu's broken cauldron and tired under the lack of food, was bitten by that kind of crazy and no tactics, and the lack of food and exhaustion was destroyed because Qin II and Zhao Gao crippled the Qin State, and the Great Wall Army that could not see hope was destroyed.

"My little pebble was thrown into the lake of this era, and it made ripples...... "Lu Zhe is very sure that history will be different.

Oh, no, after Lu Zhe occupied Nanjun, history was no longer the same. (To be continued......)
