The first thousand three hundred and ninety-one chapters
"The Mohist giant goes north!"
"It can't be from the Central Plains. It's only possible north of Huaibei. I'm afraid something big will happen there."
"Is he planning to go around the rear and burn the Qin army's food and baggage?"
Although Bai Feng is not familiar with the military, he also knows how big the impact will be if the marching supplies such as food, grass and baggage are burned, and it will definitely affect the morale of the army.
The morale of the army is unstable, and the situation of the war can be imagined.
The Chu army's plot is likely to be there.
"Grain and grass supplies?"
Hearing this, Zhao Tuo's expression suddenly changed. It was not impossible, because in the past month or two, General Li Xin had moved south quickly, and the battle line had been stretched very far.
Therefore... the lines for food and baggage are also very long, which undoubtedly lacks some defensive power.
Sure enough, if something happens at this time, it is really...not a good thing.
"I feel that as a giant of the Mohist family, it is impossible to leave the city just for the food and baggage. With the strength of the Mohist family, it is enough to send some elite disciples to complete this matter."
"Otherwise, you would be underestimating the Mohist giant too much."
"When the Mohist giants are dispatched, they can only plan something more important than burning food, grass and baggage."
But it was the Ying Ge Xiu on one side who waved lightly. Bai Feng had underestimated the status of the Mohist giant. Although it was possible to burn the grain, grass and baggage, it seemed to him that the possibility was too small.
Some things that ordinary disciples can do must be done by the leader of the Mohist family. The Mohist family has not yet reached that point.
In contrast, things that require the Mohist giants to take action will only be more important than they imagined!
"The Mohists are here to show off their learning!"
"Although he is a ranger, it is indeed unlikely that the leader of a family would burn food and grass. If this were not the case, could it be that the Mohist giant was sent out to kill people?"
"Han Feizi once said that chivalrous men use force to break the law. Is he trying to kill some important people?"
"But... there are no important ministers in the army in Huaibei. As for General Li Xin, there are net masters and secret guards. If the Mohist giant dares to take action, the Qin State will not hesitate to use its power to directly wipe out the Mohist's influence in Zhuxia.
trace."
For three generations and thousands of years since the Great Zhou Dynasty, no vassal state would tolerate the wanton killing of officials by the members of the Rangers.
According to the rumors in the world, those who want to leave Zhuanzhu will have an obvious fate. They will die without a whole body, and the family will be destroyed. That is the price!
Burning grain, grass, baggage, etc. is unlikely.
So for killing people?
All the important ministers of the Qin State in the land of Chu are now here. Secondly, it is in Xianyang. If the Mohist giant goes to Xianyang, there is only a dead end.
Zhao Tuo said a little, and even hesitated.
"Well, there is indeed an important person appearing in Huaibei next!"
"General, could it be that he has forgotten the prime minister, Lord Changping!"
"His weight should be enough. Although the relevant documents haven't been sent here yet, it will only be a day or two."
Immediately, Bai Feng suddenly remembered a person. It was the news that he got from Bai Niao yesterday. It was much faster than the Qin State's messenger. Although it had not spread, the general in front of him also knew it.
"They want to kill Lord Changping?"
Yingge also thought of that news. There was indeed no one with such an important status in the Chu land. Next, there was the status of the Prime Minister of the Qin State. He was inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people.
Among all the Xia people, he was an extremely noble being. He held the power of life and death and was in charge of all official affairs. His weight was... extremely heavy!
"Changping-kun?"
He did know the news in advance, but... Zhao Tuo didn't think that the Mohist giant had the guts to kill Qin's prime minister, because the price... was very heavy.
The Mohist giant killed Qin's prime minister.
It is undoubtedly a huge provocation to Qin.
In return and with more than a hundred years of experience, the Eighth Levels of the Qin State mobilized the power of the counties outside the pass, and hundreds of thousands of troops entered Chu, using the power of Taiyue to directly end the situation in front of them.
At present, Li Xin's army only has 200,000 people, and the Battle of Huai River is enough to destroy Chu!
Otherwise, for the sake of greater safety, the king had already adopted the strategy of General Wang Jian and used the strength of the country to attack Chu with an army of 600,000. That was just a choice.
"Inform the secret guard."
"General Zhang Han needs to make a decision about the Mohist giant's move north."
"Compared with this matter, it is more important that the Qin army has three elites, the main force is dispersed, and the Chu army is waiting for the opportunity. I need to see General Li Xin!"
No matter what the Mohist giant does when he goes north, he can't do much.
Only General Zhang Han, who relied on the Shadow Secret Guard, made the decision.
Moreover, compared to the first thing, Zhao Tuo felt that the second thing was more dangerous!
He looked at the note in his hand again, handed it to Bai Feng in front of him, took off the eagle helmet from the shelf next to him, put it on his head, arranged his armor, nodded to the two of them, and stepped out of the camp.
This matter... General Li Xin should be alerted.
In fact... I had this worry before. If two hundred thousand elite troops were to gather together and fight against Xiang Yan's main force, they would be able to support the various equipment of the National Protectorate Academy.
It is enough to fight against Xiang Yan's army of more than 300,000.
Now General Li Xin has an army of 120,000, and General Mengwu has 80,000. They have successively captured Pingyu, Xixian and other places, and then attacked Ruyin. There is no doubt that there will be a lot of troops.
That should be the fighter plane on the note!
It is very likely that the Chu army will avoid General Li Xin's main force... and directly attack Pingyu, Xixian and other places, and then outflank the rear to form an encirclement.
At present, the heavy armored infantry and large siege equipment at the rear of the Qin army have not arrived yet, and it will take more than five or six days. In any case, even if they want to attack Ruyin, they will have to wait until all 200,000 troops arrive here.
…
…
"The Qin army is three-quarters elite, and the Chu army is waiting for the opportunity to move!"
"Hahaha, I have known this for a long time, so...just now, the document was sent to General Mengwu on horseback. He will rest for a few days after taking Xi County."
"Thinking that 200,000 troops have arrived, we marched to the city father's stronghold to rendezvous, and then attacked Ruyin City. As long as Ruyin City is captured, then... Xiang Yan's hundreds of thousands of troops will be unable to retreat!"
In the military tent of the shogunate, Li Xin, wearing light armor, looked at the general Zhao Tuo who was speaking secretly. He smiled brightly, pointed to the sand table in front of him with one hand, and kept paddling along with the words.
Finally, it fell in Shouchun, the capital of Chu State, south of the Huai River.
"It's true, it couldn't be better."
Zhao Tuo did not say where the news came from. Analysis of the situation showed that the Qin army's elite three-thirds force was also in considerable danger. Since General Li Xin already had a countermeasure, it was natural that he would be better.
Noon the next day!
The army quickly came to report that General Meng Wu had captured Xi County.
"Army Sima sent an order to General Meng Wu to renovate the city and build fortifications. Five days later, the army will follow. The father of the city will join the army, and he will go to Ruyin!"
Putting away the military report documents sent by General Meng Wu, Li Xin gave the order directly.
The army commander nodded, immediately wrote the document, blessed Li Xin's seal, and passed it to General Mengwu.
******
Yingchuan County!
City of Wuyang!
In recent years, due to its connection with Nanyang County, it has gradually returned to its former bustle. Although the city is not large, with a radius of more than three miles, it is... a rare place of stability in the Xia Dynasty.
"It seems that the Chu State can no longer resist the Qin State's attack. In just two months, General Li Xin even marched close to the Huai River. Everyone said that the Chu State veteran Xiang Yan was very powerful."
"I'm afraid that now I am old and useless. Not even a young general of the Qin army can resist him."
In the wine shop, it was the middle of the hour, and there were already many diners coming and going, drinking and talking. The place of Wuyang was not far from the border of Chu State, so many news naturally spread easily.
In the past few days, Li Xin, the chief general of the Qin army, led an army of 200,000 soldiers south to attack Chu. All the way south, the Chu army had no resistance.
Now we have marched into Ruyin, which is close to the Huai River.
Sure enough, the Chu army couldn't even defend Ruyin, so... there was no need for the capital.
"General Li Xin is marching so fast, do you think...will General Li Xin capture the capital of Chu before autumn?"
One person asked out of curiosity.
In fact, it is just a hair away from Wuyue and several months away from autumn, but there is only one obstacle standing in front of General Li Xin, so it is very easy.
"We must be able to capture the capital of Chu State before autumn."
"It's even possible in the middle of summer."
"Speaking of which, the state of Chu is too unbearable. Even the state of Wei resisted for a long time. Such a large state of Chu was defeated all the way. I think if I were the king of Chu, I would just kill Xiang Yan and sacrifice the flag."
One person directly on the side responded quickly.
It's really very possible, okay?
"Sure enough, we will capture the Chu Kingdom before autumn. Tsk tsk. Is it possible for General Li Xin to become a marquis in one battle?"
"Since the king took office, the only marquis he has been granted is Marquis Wu Zhen. General Li Xin's attack on Nanchu was much greater than that of Wei."
"Even if you don't get the title of marquis by then, at least you will be the title of great concubine!"
Sure enough, General Li Xin destroyed Chu, so... he had great military exploits, and with the blessing, it is possible to be promoted to several ranks in succession with General Li Xin's current title.
Become a marquis in one battle?
The possibility seems unlikely. The general Wang Jian is only now a commoner and is one step away from becoming a marquis.
However, it is still very possible for the concubine chief and the concubine chief to do so.
"That would be too showy."
"General Li Xin is only in his thirties now, and he is the young man in the army!"
The idlers in the wine shop sighed.
In the Qin State, title is everything, and having a title means having everything.
He is only over 30 years old, and with such a promotion, he may become a marquis in the future.
For a time, the entire wine shop became more lively. There was no doubt about General Li Xin's plan to destroy Chu. The only uncertainty was the specific time.
"Elder!"
"Why is Zhu Xia like this?"
"The Qin of tigers and wolves is as powerful as tigers and wolves, without even a trace of benevolence and righteousness. How can it achieve its current situation? If Chu is really destroyed, then all the Xia will be completely finished."
In the corner of the wine shop, around a slightly long table, five or six people were lined up. They were dressed in business clothes, which was not uncommon. The table was filled with all kinds of food and drinks, but none of them seemed to have any appetite at the moment.
Listening to the chatter around them, a rather strong and muscular man whispered angrily, trying his best to lower his voice, but the anger and unwillingness were completely diffused.
Looking at the middle-aged man beside him, he seemed to be asking questions, and seemed to be expressing his depression.
