The first thousand four hundred and ninety-four chapters
"General, are you really going to retreat to Huainan?"
In the Shufu in Ruyin City, there was no drum-beating gathering of generals, but some important people gathered together.
When Xiong Qi heard the decision of General Xiang Yan, he wanted his troops to retreat to Huainan, and Xiong Qi was surprised, but... he was surprised.
At present, the best way out is still the best way out.
"It is difficult to defeat Qin when stationed here."
Xiang Yan was wearing light armor and knelt in front of the slightly smaller fine sand table. The Huai River, Huai River and the river basins were clearly visible.
He looked at Xiong Qi, then looked at the heavy snow outside the hall. He was already one year old, and Qin Chu had been confronting here for a long time.
Since the war last year, although the king ordered the king to wait for an opportunity to defeat the Qin army, he had this intention and became more and more difficult.
Hundreds of thousands of Chu troops from Huainan to Huainbei suffered heavy snow and cold winter, and their roads were constantly blocked, and their cold clothes and meat were gradually reduced.
There are more frostbite people, but there are not enough Chinese medicine practitioners.
There were even the aristocratic races' private transfer of food, grass and supplies, which made the rest of the army dissatisfied.
In addition, the Qin and Chu have been confronting each other for a long time, and the private soldiers of the aristocratic race have already made a wish to return, and their morale is damaged. Even if a forced battle is fought, it will be quite hindered.
"Sure enough, I want to take this opportunity to remove them all?"
He was the Grand Situ of Huaibei and recommended to Xiang Yan. Xiong Qi also knew everything that the army retreated to Huainan was a step.
But there is another important reason.
I thought the general would postpone it for another period of time, but I didn't expect that it would be implemented now, and time was a bit short.
After reading the words, I looked around and saw that they were Xiang Yan’s confidant and did not reveal anything.
"Father, are you too dangerous?"
"Sure enough, those people were eliminated in one fell swoop. I am afraid that our army will be greatly affected when it comes to resisting Qin."
"Besides, it is even more difficult for those aristocratic races to support themselves during their private soldiers and divide the power of Chu."
As a child, Xiang Liang knew his father's plan, and although the benefits were huge, the corresponding risks were also quite large.
I wanted to take advantage of the moment when the troops retreated to Huainan to forcefully eliminate the control of the aristocratic races in Huainan and take over those areas.
Inside, iron blood is naturally indispensable.
Although the king supported him, he did not take such a small step, which made the Chu State worse.
Today, there was rain and snow outside the hall, which was really... a bad omen.
"But it's a bit dangerous."
"But now is the best time."
"Forcibly take over those areas temporarily with the king's order and supplemented with the order of grace, you can quickly differentiate the power of the clan."
"Even if there is some centrifugation, it will only be a temporary moment. When the war continues to be stalemate, the pressure from Qin will improve a lot."
Fan Zeng said on the side.
The general asked himself about this strategy, and he said that he was the same as he said.
If we want to solve the fundamental troubles of Chu, we must have this opportunity.
Otherwise, when the war passes and Chu State wins, it seems that everything has not changed much.
When Qin State wins, everything becomes empty. Instead of doing this, it is better to give it a try.
The more dangerous and difficult the moment, the better the opportunity to get troops to turn the world around. As expected, the State of Chu could survive and withstand the pressure in front of him.
Everything is unknown.
"Can the strategy of retreating troops be determined?"
The general's intentions were decided and it was difficult to stop him. Xiong Qi did not say much, but with such a hurrying strategy, the retreat should not be far away.
"The army is temporarily withdrawn around the Chunji River."
"The specific strategy is being discussed with the king. As expected, the retreat must be prevented from taking the opportunity to move the Qin army."
Xiang Yan nodded, the approximate time was spring.
The specific strategy still needs to be discussed, but as long as you agree to the army entering Huainan, the best harvest is, Xiang Yan's sight is in Huainan.
There is great potential there.
...
...
"The troops entered Huainan and the main force was garrisoned by 300,000 troops next to the capital, thinking that they would resist Qin."
"The capital does not enter Huainan."
Half a month later, Xiang Yan and Xiong Qi secretly traveled between the capital and Ruyin many times to discuss the specific matters of retreating troops.
There will be something in the end.
"It seems they are still quite alert."
The remaining troops left behind were next to the capital, and the remaining troops entered Huainan, the power was automatically reduced.
Previously, those people were unwilling to enter Huainan, and were also worried that the Qin and Chu battlefields were in Huainan and that they would affect the foundation of the aristocratic race.
Now I have to do so.
Xiong Qi sighed lightly, the more he felt the general's plan was dangerous, with resistance inside and pressure outside.
If you take a wrong step, the State of Chu is really in danger.
"As long as the troops retreat to Huainan."
"They can't help themselves."
Xiang Yan felt that the possibility of such a strategy was getting bigger and bigger, and the only thing to prevent was the Qin army, Wang Jian and others.
As expected, it was inappropriate to have trouble with the troops as they retreated to Huainan.
*******
"General!"
"Soldiers are looking for war more and more."
It is still winter, but a new year passed in Chu. Although the calendars used by Qin and Chu are different, they are all the same.
Deputy General Meng Wu and General Wang Jian walked through the military camp and watched casually. In the continuous and lively barracks, there were bursts of lively scenes.
Since the month of Wu, 600,000 troops have been gradually displayed here, and have been confronting Chu for more than half a year. There is only one real war within it.
After a great war, it once again ended in a long confrontation.
For the Qin soldiers dispatched from all over the place, it was quite difficult. They came to Chu to obtain military merits.
Not for weight gain.
right!
Gain weight!
During this battle between Qin and Chu, Qin mobilized 600,000 troops, and in addition to the necessary Qin troops stationed in various places, it was considered to be a powerful force.
Such a magnificent war spread.
In addition to the food, grass and supplies set by the center, many domestic merchants petitioned for support.
Especially the Wu family in Longxi.
He directly gave out tens of thousands of cattle and sheep and added them to military supplies.
There is also Bashiqing in Bajun, which has strong financial resources and also offers a lot of wealth for military supplies, and the rest of the followers have more merchants.
So much so that the Qin army, which had no need to worry about food and supplies, seemed to have become better. They killed sheep, cattle, and ate and drank in the sea every day.
In addition, there is no war, how can you not keep a body fat?
Looking around, the already burly man in Guanzhong is even stronger than the black iron tower.
Without the various trainings in the Daily Army, the light military formation methods from the Huguo Academy, and various activities to digest fat.
I'm afraid it's growing stronger.
"Haha, the fighting spirit is available, only fighter jets are missing."
When Wang Jian heard this, he smiled brightly.
Looking at the increasingly burly soldiers and men, the soldiers not far away were practicing various military activities.
Like falling!
Like a wrestle!
Such as comparing swordsmanship!
Such as comparing riding!
For example, in comparison, casting stones!
For example, compare weightlifting!
...
Even wrist strength is more popular, and foot strength is very strict in the army, and there is no other entertainment, so that is the only way.
But even so, the fat on his body is still quite strong.
"How far can a soldier throw a rock now?"
Continuing to march into the barracks, looking at the soldiers throwing stones on a field, Wang Jian stopped and asked casually.
"Haha, now those soldiers threw twelve kilograms of stones and threw more than two hundred steps away."
"If you have a little more strength, you can also take three hundred steps. As expected, if you change it to a spear, the scene should be magnificent."
Meng Wu responded with a smile.
A twelve kilogram stone weighing more than 200 steps was thrown, which was considered the standard set by the General at the beginning, and most soldiers in the army could do it.
What’s better is three hundred steps, especially those who come from the National Guardian Academy. Everyone is comparable to a catapult.
It's really amazing.
At this level, when you fall on the battlefield, you hold a spear in your hand and throw it out one after another. The scene is so domineering that it is not inferior to the sharp edge of a feather arrow.
“How accurate?”
Wang Jian was very satisfied.
"Look at it, General."
Sima Suijun smiled and pointed with one hand at another slightly distant site.
The area hundreds of feet in radius was empty, and there were teams of soldiers constantly coming in and out, holding stones in their hands and throwing them into the distance.
At a very far distance, there are stone bricks standing upright, all of which are more than thirty feet away. With one force, the stone is thrown at the small stone brick.
Hitting the erected stone bricks is the winner. The more you hit, the better you will be.
There will be rewards in the army.
Otherwise, there will be a considerable punishment.
Wang Jian looked over and looked at the accuracy of soldiers throwing stones. Out of ten people, five or six were quite good.
Although the rest of the people were a little worse, they were only a little deviated. On the battlefield, they were of great use and were very happy.
"General!"
"General!"
“…”
When they marched where the soldiers were, bursts of salutes suddenly came to their faces, and they looked at each other, and then the soldiers boldly took a step forward.
"General, we are waiting to enter Chu, but we have come to fight and make contributions, so we must stay here to gain weight."
But for this reason, I want to make contributions, but I have delicious food and drink all day long.
Very good though.
But compared to the title, the beef and mutton in your hand seemed to be no longer delicious.
"General, the Chu army is not an opponent of the Qin Dynasty, we are going to fight."
“…”
“…”
Following the previous statement, the other soldiers on both sides also asked for a speech.
Last year, the Chu army was no match for the many major and minor wars. Now I heard that many people in the Chu army have the intention of returning to the south.
Isn't it just right for the battle?
The sword in my hand is so hungry.
“No need to worry.”
"The accuracy of the distance you have practiced to reach this general's standards."
"Continue practicing."
Facing the eager words and fighting gazes of soldiers, I smiled slightly and waved my hands. Fighting is a must.
Now is not the best time.
"I heard it all."
"If you have the energy to fight here, don't you hurry up and strengthen your body. On the battlefield, you will have more chances to kill the enemy."
"There is a chance for you to kill the enemy next."
Meng Wu took a step forward and whispered.
War is available!
Morale is available!
As for the fighter jets, according to the news from the net, spies and others a few days ago, it seems that they are not far away, but... the general is indeed able to endure it.
If it were me, I would probably lead my troops to fight directly.
"Here!"
“…”
“…”
That's it, the soldier had to retreat helplessly and return to the previous training sessions, but he didn't know when he would go to the battle.
