The first thousand two hundred and forty-nine chapters preemptive strike
Bai Qianhong was waiting by her side, wearing a light purple outfit. Her long hair was randomly combed into a bunch, falling behind her shoulders. A purple jade hairpin was inserted through her eyebrows. She followed the adult's gaze and said something.
"North of the Huai River, Ru River, and south of Honggou, the Qin State has indeed destroyed the Wei State. Young Master, one day... if Wang Ben does what he did again, I am afraid that the army will be able to directly enter the Shouchun capital of the Chu State."
Nong Yu, who came with us, also said calmly.
The orange dress is moving with the wind, and she is looking into the distance. In recent years, she has spent a lot of time in Nan County, and also spent some time with her father in Nanyang County.
Therefore, the map of this place has long been floating in the back of my mind. It is south of Wei, north of Chu, and east of Nanyang... In fact, the three places are intertwined. Last year, Major General Wang Ben's cavalry was successful.
Next, if we really capture the Kingdom of Wei, Ru River, and the south of Honggou... we will be able to defeat the enemy at once, and we will be able to bring out the best of the cavalry.
"And you?"
Both Zhou and Qing Dynasties nodded their heads. What Qian Hong and Nong Yu said was reasonable. The Wei State was located in the Central Plains.
The biggest feature of the Central Plains is that as far as the eye can see, there is endless good farmland that can be cultivated, and it is agricultural land that has lasted for hundreds of years and thousands of years.
Undoubtedly... it is easy for such a good place to become prosperous.
As long as a place becomes prosperous, everything else will develop naturally. No matter what era it is, the economic foundation is the most fundamental thing.
Without prosperity, everything is just illusion.
Lord Shang made reforms to strengthen the Qin Dynasty, cultivated and fought to establish the country, and the government only lasted twenty years. The treasury was full, and the entire Qin State's arms were strong. And... the Central Plains was a must-have place for military strategists.
Seeing a red flame passing by in front of him, he couldn't help but smile and told her to take care of him in Nanyang County. He wanted to follow him, but now he was patrolling the border with him, which was a bit boring.
"Well... isn't that Xiang Yan from Chu State very famous?"
"He should have thought of this, right?"
She is wrapped in a dark golden flame dress and high boots. She is a little thin in the middle of summer. The mystery of fire magic is being released all over her body. This is the case in the void, heaven and earth.
If you don't stay away from the accompanying soldiers, you may be mentally damaged.
Hearing the young master's words, her charming expression suddenly froze, her bright eyes turned, she gently stroked a strand of hair with one hand, and just said... I'm not really that stupid.
"Xiang Yan of Chu State!"
"What do you think he will do?"
Standing with one hand on his side, looking into the void in the south, where is the State of Chu... In the long river of time, the defeat of the State of Chu... was a battle, a defeat in one battle, without the natural danger of the Huai River, one after another.
rout.
Now, I don’t know what to do?
"Of course it's a pre-emptive strike."
"Young Master doesn't often say, strike first and attack others later."
Yan Lingji felt that those things were not suitable for her to think about. The rules and regulations, such as... maneuvering and scheming, were too nerve-wracking. It was almost like fighting between two people.
You are already weaker, but if you wait for the stronger one to attack first, you will lose the initiative and lose the chance of winning.
"Something interesting."
"Qianhong, what do you think?"
Preemptive strike is indeed needed!
It seems that... this is how the Chu State was in the past. It struck first, won a great victory, and got a chance to breathe. He nodded to Yan Lingji and looked at the purple figure beside him.
"Trouble with Chu!"
"Still in the country!"
"Sure enough, the Chu State is now in a stable state. With the level of leadership of the great Sima Xiang Yan, unless the Qin State really devotes all its strength to fight it, it will have a chance of victory."
"The Chu State has three military systems: one is the private army of the aristocratic families, the other is the garrison troops from various places, and the third is the army directly under the jurisdiction of the king of Chu in the capital. Now, the private armies in the hands of the aristocratic families are not inferior to the four legions led by Xiang Yan
.”
"Maybe it's not as good as the elite, but the dispatch of a lot of food, grass and baggage is still vaguely limited."
The old aristocratic families that have been causing trouble to the Chu Kingdom for hundreds of years cannot be truly and completely expelled in three or two years.
Even if the King of Chu becomes the lord of England, it will take at least ten or twenty years, but Chu State... does not have that time. Before this autumn, Qin State will destroy Wei.
Next year, the situation at Yanzhao can be decided.
No later than the year after next, hundreds of thousands of troops will definitely be organized to attack Chu.
In other words..., the time left for Chu State is at most two years.
"Right now..., Ruoran Xiang Yan is looking for the long term."
"I will take advantage of this opportunity to solve the troubles of Qu Zhaojing and other families as much as possible. As for assisting the Wei State and protecting the Wei State from destruction, I can only do it later."
If so, the whole country of Chu is now very powerful!
If you can really perform it, I'm afraid it will be less than six points!
Sure enough, Xiang Yan can solve those troubles as much as possible, then... who knows, he will be able to exert his full strength by then. This time... is his best chance.
I'm afraid this is also the last chance.
"How to solve it?"
"Suppress it with strong troops directly within the Chu Kingdom?"
Nongyu was curious about it. There were many big families in the ancestral land of Dongting, and they also had many private armies, and they had considerable power in the capital temple. As expected, what should Xiang Yan do?
"Xiang Yan is a descendant of the military strategist."
"The best policy is to attack with troops and attack with force, but the worst policy is to suppress with strong troops."
"As expected, Qian Hong is Xiang Yan, so he will show his weakness and ask the King of Chu to express his gratitude. Then he will send troops to leave Xia Cai and go here to present troops to give those wealthy families a chance."
"If those big families move and try to suppress them immediately, if they don't move, then the favor will be successful and the place can be controlled. At present, the main force of the Qin State is at Yanzhao, and it is impossible to really fight the Chu army.
"
"In this way, we can weaken the power of the family as much as possible!"
Bai Qianhong showed her head and shook it gently.
Xiang Yan will not force troops to suppress them, he will only look for suitable opportunities to weaken them with great righteousness and general trend. After being weakened again and again, soon... they will lose the power to resist.
"This..., as expected, it is possible."
"Sister Qianhong is worthy of being a master of all things."
Nong Yu thought for a moment, then praised him.
If he follows Sister Qianhong's wishes, it is really possible for Xiang Yan to suppress and weaken those noble families, the King of Chu can also take back power, and the power of the Chu State can be greatly enhanced.
"It's just..., the Xianyang order, the young master wants to rectify Nanyang's troops and horses to counter the Chu State's movements."
"If the Chu State really mobilizes a hundred thousand troops to march here, sir, will there be a battle in Nanyang?"
Although the strategy is good,...the Chu State's 100,000 elite troops are here, which is a big threat. In any case, Nanyang and Yingchuan County will mobilize troops.
Could it be that he just watched Chu State reorganize the country and did nothing.
After he finished speaking, his starry eyes flashed with mysterious light as he looked at the young master.
"It is not so easy for Chu State to have both."
"Qian Hong, please send an order to Dongting of Chu State to inform the elders of Chu State."
"As for this place..., we will draw up a document today and send it to Xianyang. I will lead my troops to Yingchuan County and capture this place..., leaving Xiang Yan with a dilemma."
Xiang Yan wanted to kill two birds with one stone. He could not only control the old families in the country, but also seize this place and extend the northern border of Chu State for future use.
But... in the summer, nothing can be so relaxed and casual.
Regardless of whether Xiang Yan had this plot or not, this place is still the land of the Wei State. It is natural for the Qin State to attack and destroy it and take this place. If the Chu State has the courage, it will be a battle.
Turning slightly sideways, he walked toward the horse-drawn carriage not far away.
As a veteran, Xiang Yan will not miss this opportunity. He doesn't know what will happen next.
