In the end, the Qin State had a profound heritage, and chose the end of autumn as the time for the two-way temptation, and took the time into account as the foundation of the war strategy.

Wang Ben marched quickly all the way to the Central Plains in order to quickly capture Jinyang, there was a winter city, and Wang Ben would have three months to strengthen the city defense when he captured Jinyang, even if the Zhao army counterattacked in the coming year. Moreover, after a quarter has passed, the South should also test a result.

It also snowed in some places in the south, but it was delayed for a long time compared to the north, probably because of this, and it was probably because of this that the attack of the northern division attracted everyone's attention and speculation a month later.

Wang Ben's partial division was secretive when he attacked, and Lu Zhe only noticed it after the Qin army approached Deng County, which shows how much preparation the Qin State had made in advance in order to achieve the purpose of the temptation.

Deng County is the territory of Nanyang County, it is sixty miles away from Ye County in Nan County, if Lu Zhe did not set up a fortress group at the border, the Qin army could kill under Ye County in one day.

In the era when it was still necessary to rely on people to ride horses or on foot to deliver information, the military information that had been detected was reported back, and it was also a day after Lu Zhe got the information.

Anything can happen in a day, if Lu Zhe's guess is correct, and the Qin army is also trying to achieve a surprise effect, then there should already be a battle ahead.

Knowing that the Qin army was coming, even if he was in a hurry, it was impossible to send troops regardless of it, and he also needed to have a battle plan.

Lu Zhe had made a strategic deployment for being raided before, and those forts played the role of early warning and resistance.

The reality is also the same, judging from the continuous transmission of lit wolf smoke from the north, the Qin army's intention to raid was intercepted by the fort, and now it is attacking the bulge of the entire defensive arrangement.

"There are only 3,000 garrisons in Yixian County, and the number of forts in front is also the smallest among the three directions." Lu Zhe looked at his subordinates who came in a hurry, and pointed to the hanging fortification map, "The direction of Shandu is seven, and the direction of Dengxian is six." With the direction of the county is four. ”

The so-called three are the three directions of Ba County, Hanzhong County, and Nanyang County. When the Qin State attacked Chu, it used the water system to raid Nanjun, and there was such a battle example, when arranging the defense line, Lu Zhe paid more attention to the location in the northwest. In addition, Ba County and Hanzhong County found that they were stockpiling military rations, and the movement of the army was also the most frequent, even if Ba County and Hanzhong County were planning Lu Zhe, they did not dare to ignore it.

"Looking at the situation of Wolf Smoke, the 20,000 forwards of the Qin army are now attacking two of the forts in the direction of Deng County. Judging from the early warning wolf smoke lit by the fort in Shandu, traces of the Qin army were also found in the direction, and the number was also 20,000. Kuaitong fulfilled the duties of Changshi, and he made a prediction: "Based on this guess, the Qin army heading south wants to attack two strongholds at the same time. In order to achieve the purpose of dividing our forces to resist. ”

The existing strength of Nanjun is 150,000, the forts in various places occupy 30,000, and the necessary garrisons in each county are also 20,000, and the 30,000 soldiers are the mobile troops that Lu Zhe has always left. In addition to Lü Zhe's own army, the 30,000 borrowed from Wu Rui had always been arranged in Jiangling, the 20,000 borrowed by Huan Chu was stationed in Yiling, and the other more than 20,000 people who were scattered and integrated were arranged in Nanling.

The garrison of the Bingbao on the border of Nanyang County is the least of the three neighboring counties of Nanyang County, only 7,500. Lu Zhe was spying on the intelligence of the Qin army, and the Qin army would naturally spy on the deployment of Nanjun. So it's not surprising to choose a weak position to raid.

"The garrisons of Yan County, Jingling County, Yilu County, and Anlu County have already assembled in Yan County, and they will be able to gather 14,000 troops in two days," Yan County is the county seat ten miles south of Ye County. When the war broke out, it was safest to gather troops in the second line of defense, Kuaitong said and looked at Lu Zhe.

The Qin army that came to attack exposed only 40,000 troops, given that it was divided into two directions, it was impossible to judge the real main attack position. The scouts who spilled out had not yet discovered where the main force of the Qin army was. I don't know what the total strength is, so I thought about it and first mobilized the garrisons of the four counties of Yanxian, Jingling, Yilu, and Anlu to reinforce it, and it was a good choice for the troops behind to only assemble and not act rashly. After all, the intention of the Qin army was to raid, who could be sure whether the Qin army in Shandu and Deng County was a feint, waiting for Lu Zhe to transfer the troops up, and where did the main force of the Qin army suddenly come from.

Without discovering the true intentions of the Qin army or not knowing the location of its main forces, frequent troop movements would become a fatigued army, and Lü Zhe must now deal with it calmly.

As early as two months ago, the plan was to fortify the defense, with 14,000 reinforcements, the front was backed by a soldier fort in Kai County, and 20,000 Qin troops in each direction could be able to do it for a period of time. During this period of time, one or two of those who chose to take a detour because the road was blocked would always come back, and even if they still didn't know where the main force of the Qin army was, they could more or less know how many Qin troops were coming.

"The main main and deputy generals of the reinforcements in the early stage," Lu Zhe first looked at the carving, and then stared at Zhou Wen who had not had time to deal with it, "Zhou Wen, carving is there?" ”

Zhou Wen was obviously stunned, after he was attached, Lu Zhe was very polite, but a month has passed and he has not been arranged for a military position, and he originally thought that he could only be an idler. Now, when he heard the point, he couldn't help but be a little excited, walked out and stood beside Diaoding, and followed Diao Dingyi to salute, should: "In!" ”

"Zhou Wen is the main one, and the carving is the secondary. The two of you will rush to Yan County immediately with the token in hand......" Lu Zhe instructed them what they needed to do, and finally bowed his hand: "Please, two!" ”

Lord! The excitement in Zhou Wen's heart turned into excitement, he thought that he would be the deputy general, but he didn't expect it to be the main general, and his voice was louder when he was ordered: "I will live up to the trust of the lord!" ”

Kuai, who was sitting on the side of the main seat, informed that this was Lu Zhe's last resort, compared to Zhou Wen, Lu Zhe's old troops lacked combat experience, and he wanted to reinforce the fort under the attack of the Qin army with 20,000 each, and only Zhou Wen, who had been fighting with Huan Chu for half a year, had the ability to adapt.

Zhou Wen was ordered, and the eyes of Shen Tujia, Zhang Cang, Ren Ao, Ji Xin and others, who were attached at about the same time, also became enthusiastic.

Lu Zhe was naturally aware of all kinds of eyes, and sighed in his heart: "Ji Bu is actually a candidate for the main general, but unfortunately he has not made meritorious service to restore his original position, and only temporarily appointed Zhou Wen." He looked around at the people present, "The rest of you, each with his own orders!" ”

Twenty or so people stood up and responded with a loud "Hey! Seeing that they were not reappointed, they were disappointed or departed solemnly.

"Mr. Kuai, Mei Kai, Su Lie," Lu Zhe called out to the three of them.

Kuaitong, who knew that he would be left behind, walked very slowly, but Mei Kai and Su Lie were mixed in the crowd and squeezed for a while before re-entering.

"Mr. Kuai, Zhe has something to ask." Lu Zhe bowed to Kuaitong first, please take a seat. Then, he falsely invited Mei Kai and Su Lie to sit down, and then asked this Kuaitong: "I had a long talk with Mr. last night, and I don't know if Mr. can think about the results of Qin's war strategy?" ”

Qin State's temptation to the north and south, Lu Zhe really needed someone to discuss together, and now only Kuaitong was a good object.

"I think it's a good guess, otherwise the Qin State would not choose to start a war before winter is approaching. The winter in the north is long and the winter in the south is short, so Wang Ben, who is a partial division, moves first, and now there is a Qin army from Nanyang County, and there is an eighty percent possibility that it is Qin's trial battle to the north and south. Kuaitong didn't want Lu Zhe to relax because Qin was a temptation, and reminded: "Although it is a temptation, if the gap is quickly opened, the Qin army going south will be able to brave the cold winter to fight after a little overcome, and the Lord must not have a fluke mentality." ”

got the answer he wanted, and Lu Zhe saluted Kuaitong again. After saluting, he looked at Mei Kai and Su Lie, and said, "Kai, how many bed crossbows and car crossbows are there now?" Lie, how many heavy infantry do you have now that can go into battle? ”

Mei Li and Su Lie glanced at each other, and Mei Li replied first, "The bed crossbow has a range of 350 paces and a range of 200 and 450 steps. Crossbows, the number is only seventy-three. ”

Su Lie said with difficulty: "According to the Lord's standard, there are no troops in the Ministry of Posts that can go into battle. ”

"Fifty crossbows, then, and eighty crossbows for beds. The rest cooperated with Lu Nan to speed up the defense deployment of Nanling City. "There are also fifteen ballistas that have been made, but this thing is too troublesome to disassemble and assemble, and it has already been installed on the fortifications of Nanling, and Lu Zhe does not plan to take it to the front line. He also heard Su Lie say that there were no heavy infantry that could go into battle, and he didn't seem to mind, "Just step up training." ”

Mei Kai and Su Lie naturally responded to the order, and when they saw Lu Zhe waving their hands, they retreated.

Kuaitong waited for the two generals to go out, and seemed to want to say something for a long time, and immediately said: "Nanjun now has 150,000 borrowed soldiers, and those borrowed soldiers are worried about their combat strength, and they have to remove the troops stationed in various places, and the real use of the lord is less than 40,000." However, according to speculation, the number of Qin troops who will come to attack will not be less than 100,000, and there may even be as many as 150,000, how does the lord plan to deal with it? ”

Lu Zhe first explained the defense line that took more than seven months to build, and said: "The role of the fort is to slow down the enemy's footsteps, and then there is the city of the county town to block it. Now it's my location. ”

Kuaitong asked again: "There are still more than 6,000 Qin troops in Cangwu County, will the Lord kill them?" ”

Lu Zhe replied without hesitation: "Kill!" ”

"Good, good, kill!" Kuai Tongxin said that there is no superfluous mother-in-law and mother-in-law who is doing great things, and said: "The Qin army really chose the weak direction of Nanyang County to attack, did the lord tell the subordinates about the plan agreed with the co-lieutenant to calm their hearts?" ”

Lu Zhe didn't realize how panicked his subordinates were? He looked at Kuaitong strangely, "The three counties are the momentum of the horns, the enemy attacks one of them, and the two sides attack it together. The main force of the Qin army has not yet been found...... Even if it is found that the main force of the Qin army needs to be attacked from the flank, they only need to carry out my orders, how can they be reported? ”

Kuaitong is really comfortable, Lu Zhe can answer this way to prove that he has not lost his square inch, Nanjun has perfect fortifications, and the army is preparing for war early, Lu Zhe was not frightened by the Qin army's attack and kept his head clear, so there is only one left to fight without worrying about self-chaos.
